Ruth, General Manager Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Technical Services SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA FOR ACCESS RELATED TO FUEL CELL HYDROGEN GAS GENERATION, PROJECT NO. SP-134 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve an Access Agreement for Operation of a Hydrogen Fueling Station and Fuel Cell Related Research Activities , with the University of California, Irvine, in connection with Fuel Cell Hydrogen Gas Generation, Project No. SP-134, in a form approved by General Counsel. SUMMARY • In April 2009, the Board of Directors approved an agreement with Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (Air Products) for the construction, installation, and pilot testing of a hydrogen energy station as Project SP-134. • The University of California, Irvine (UCI) operates hydrogen fueling stations and develops hydrogen generation technology within its educational and research mission. • Air Products has engaged UCI to collect, analyze, and report data from the SP-134 fuel cell system and hydrogen fueling station as an independent evaluator of the equipment’s performance, operations and maintenance requirements, and air emissions levels. • An agreement to allow designated UCI representatives access the fuel cell and hydrogen fueling station sites for the purpose of collecting data has been developed. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS April 2009 - Approval of an agreement with Air Products for installation and pilot testing for Fuel Cell Hydrogen Gas Generation, Project No. SP-134, at a cost not to exceed $400,000. This project includes fuel cell equipment to produce hydrogen and generate electricity and a hydrogen fueling station to allow some of the hydrogen to be used as vehicle fuel. Page 2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In August 2008, the Board of Directors approved an agreement with Air Products for the construction, installation, and pilot testing of a hydrogen energy station demonstration project, at a cost not to exceed $200,000. In April 2009 an amended agreement increased the cost limit to $400,000 to reflect changes in the location, layout, and scope of the project. The hydrogen energy station will use the Sanitation District’s digester gas to produce hydrogen, electricity, and heat. The hydrogen energy station project will have two main benefits for the Sanitation District. First, the project may demonstrate that the hydrogen station’s fuel cell power plant technology is a viable alternative source of reliable power and thermal heat for the treatment plants. Second, the station will produce hydrogen gas which will be compressed and made available to vehicles, including the Sanitation District’s fleet vehicles, as a clean burning fuel alternative to gasoline. Due to the Fountain Valley reclamation plant’s close proximity to a major freeway, placement of a hydrogen fueling station at this site will support the Governor’s hydrogen highway initiative. CEQA FINDINGS The Board of Directors previously approved the hydrogen energy station project. The current action is within the scope of that prior approval.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Jim Herberg, Director of Engineering Project Manager: Christopher MacLeod SUBJECT: CHEMICAL SCRUBBER CONVERSIONS AND PIPING SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT NO. P2-106 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1. Establish a budget for Chemical Scrubber Conversions and Piping System Improvements, Project No. P2-106, in the amount of $3,261,000; and, 2. Authorize the General Manager to negotiate a Professional Design Services Agreement with Dudek, Inc. for design and construction support services for Chemical Scrubber Conversions and Piping System Improvements, Project No. P2-106. SUMMARY • This project will convert existing chemical scrubbers to biological trickling filters with operational enhancements, install plant water booster pumps in the dewatering building to increase belt press water pressure, and rehabilitate the boiler feed water piping system to maintain system integrity. • This project was previously chartered and budgeted as Project No. FE05-11, which will be cancelled from the Facilities Engineering (FE) budget and project list. The project size is too large for the FE program to effectively manage. • The current construction document package has been delayed for one year awaiting personnel, schedule, and budget availability. The design effort was not completed and is approximately 75% complete. • Dudek, Inc. was selected as the design consultant using standard FE project protocols and Delegation of Authority in place at that time. Dudek, Inc. is uniquely qualified to finish the design work and to provide support services during the bidding, construction, commissioning, and closeout phases of this project. • The current Engineer’s Construction Cost Estimate is $2,265,000. This project will be offset from reduced expenditures on other Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. Form No. DW-102-2 Revised 03/01/07 Page 2 PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS March 2003 – Biotrickling Filter for Odor Control Demonstration Project: Phase II Final Report. This report formed the basis for Project No. FE03-34, subsequently chartered on July 22, 2004. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Facilities Engineering (FE) vs. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) The Engineering Department has two distinct groups of staff dedicated to completing engineering projects. The CIP group leads the major projects through design and construction while the FE group focuses on smaller projects with shorter schedules. The FE and CIP staffing is separate with some combined functions for efficiency. Many of the policies and procedures are different in order to allow the smaller projects to have a shorter schedule. In addition the Delegation of Authority relating to the procurement of design services is slightly different between the two groups and the design size of the FE projects is limited. Project History Project No. FE 05-11 was created by a consolidation of three individual FE projects (Project Nos. FE03-34, FE00-12, and FE01-19) in order to finalize the design and prepare a single construction document package for enhanced competitive bidding. Each individual FE project was designed in accordance with FE project procedures in place at the time. The designs were completed to approximately 95%, but placed on hold awaiting resources to complete the project. A description of the original FE projects is provided below as information. Project No. P2-106 will update the consolidated earlier FE Project FE05-11 to match the current standards and facility requirements and create a bid package for construction. Project No. FE00-12 provides new plant water booster pumps at the existing dewatering facility in order to boost the pressure to 120psi. This provides far more efficient cleaning of the belt presses and will increase the efficiency of these machines to increase dewatering capabilities using existing equipment. Project No. FE01-19 provides boiler piping and feed water tank improvements to parts of the boiler system at Plant No. 2. Maintenance staff frequently repair leaks in the pressure vessel and feed water piping and this project will help relieve pressure on Sanitation District resources. Project No. FE03-34 will convert selected chemical scrubbers to biological trickling filters (BTFs). This will improve efficiency and reduce expenditures on chemicals. BTFs have proved to be a success by removing as much hydrogen sulfide as chemical scrubbers with improved removal of volatile organic compounds. This project will convert two more chemical scrubbers to BTFs and provide minor modifications to the existing five BTFs. Form No. DW-102-2 Revised 03/01/07 Page 3 CEQA FINDINGS A Notice of Exemption was filed on August 24, 2006. Chemical Scrubber Conversions and Piping System Improvements, Project No. P2-106, was determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA Section 15301(b) because the project consists of minor modifications to existing facilities with no increase in treatment capacity. This recommendation complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District’s Delegation of Authority. This item has not been budgeted. Funds will be reallocated from savings on other projects.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Jim Herberg, Director of Engineering Project Manager: Steven Schock SUBJECT: ELLIS AVENUE PUMP STATION CONSTRUCTION, CONTRACT NO. I-10B GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve a contingency increase of $277,172 (1%) to the Construction Contract with J. F. Shea Inc., for Ellis Avenue Pump Station Construction, Contract No. I-10B, for a total contingency of $1,663,034 (6%). SUMMARY • This project constructed a new 50 mgd lift station which has been dedicated as the Steve Anderson Lift Station. • Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) has had beneficial use of the pump station since May 2009, and the work is 99% complete. • During commissioning of the lift station several items were discovered that require additional work to complete. These relate to the ventilation, odor control and flow systems that could not be tested in actual conditions until sewage was introduced. • This additional work is estimated at $180,000 which will expend the entire remaining contingency. The requested contingency increase does not impact the overall project budget. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS September 2009 – Reduction in Retention, Retention reduced to not less than 1%. December 2006 - Awarded Ellis Avenue Pump Station Construction, Contract No. I-10B, to J.F. Shea Construction, Inc., for $27,717,245 and a 5% contingency. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION None. Form No. DW-102-2 Revised 03/01/07 Page 2 CEQA FINDINGS The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Implementation of Ellis Avenue Pump Station Replacement Project, Job No. I-10, was certified on May 25, 2005 by Resolution No. OCSD 05-12. This request for increase in the project contingency complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District’s Delegation of Authority. This item has been budgeted (Page A–8, Item No. 51).

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Technical Services SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding between Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) and South Orange County Wastewater Authority (SOCWA) for South County Waste Disposal at OCSD Facilities GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with South Orange County Wastewater Authority (SOCWA) to accept Hauled Waste from the SOCWA service area, in a form approved by general counsel. SUMMARY • OCSD Ordinance No. OCSD-36 states “Waste hauled from a source that is not within the OCSD’s service area is prohibited unless authorized by the General Manager. Service area is defined as any area the OCSD has an agreement to serve.” • With its current facilities, SOCWA cannot accept the Hauled Waste for treatment and disposal due mainly to physical limitations. OCSD has temporarily agreed to accept for treatment and disposal certain non-industrial based waste and waste by-products generated by persons and entities in the SOCWA service area, including brine, grease, and wastes from cesspools, chemical toilets, and septic tanks (“Hauled Waste”) until a service agreement is adopted. • SOCWA desires that OCSD continue accepting Hauled Waste for treatment and disposal • The cost for disposal is set by OCSD ordinance. The current charge to the wastehauler is $0.12 per gallon for waste originating in SOCWA’s service area. • Staff recommends approval of the MOU with SOCWA. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS 2 N/A ADDITIONAL INFORMATION • SOCWA is a Joint Power Authority made up of the following agencies: El Toro Water District, Emerald Bay Service District, Irvine Ranch Water District, City of Laguna Beach, Moulton Niguel Water District, City of San Clemente, South Coast Water District, City of San Juan Capistrano, Santa Margarita Water District, and Trabuco Canyon Water District. • OCSD receives approximately 0.012 MGD of Hauled Waste from SOCWA’s service area which represents 15% of the total Hauled Waste received. • SOCWA prepared and completed a Liquid Waste Disposal Evaluation dated December 31, 2007, that assessed the potential alternative disposal and treatment strategies for Hauled Waste. The alternatives presented in the study were reviewed by the SOCWA Technical Advisory Committee. The committee, supported by the study, determined that a SOCWA disposal station was not the preferred alternative due to physical limitations and odor concerns, and that SOCWA should pursue a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with OCSD for the disposal of Hauled Waste originating in the SOCWA service area. Form No. DW-102 Agenda Report – Board Revised: 12/06/06 Page 1 OPERATIONS COMMITTEE Meeting Date 10/07/09 To Bd. of Dir. 10/28/09 AGENDA REPORT Item Number 5 Item Number 9 Orange County Sanitation District FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager Originator: Nick Arhontes, Director of Operations and Maintenance SUBJECT: Purchase of Ferric Chloride, Specification No. C-2005-247 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve Change Order No. 8 to Purchase Order No. 102354 OB for Purchase of Ferric Chloride, Specification No. C-2005-247, issued to Kemira Water at a unit price of $673.02 per dry ton delivered, plus applicable tax, indexed to Iron Age Black Foundry Busheling benchmark of $635/ton and a pricing correction factor of 34% of the difference of the benchmark and index on a quarterly basis, for an estimated annual contract amount of $5,050,000 for the period December 1, 2009 through November 30, 2010. SUMMARY • Ferric chloride is a liquid chemical iron salt used to increase the solids removal efficiencies at both Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 in primary treatment. In solids treatment, it is used to control hydrogen sulfide levels in the digester gas to meet South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) requirements. It is critical to our operations to achieve cost effective regulatory compliance in our growing facilities. • A specification driven competitive bidding process was conducted in fiscal year 2005-06. Kemira Water (Kemira) was the sole bidder and was awarded, a one-year contract to provide ferric chloride. Kemira is the only vendor capable at this time of providing the 7,000 dry tons per year of ferric chloride currently required for our operational needs. This proposed contract renewal would exercise the final one-year contract extension of the four one-year contract extension provision in the original contract. A contingency is not requested at this time since the unit price is variable through the contract term and tied to an index. • Scrap steel and chlorine are the key raw ingredients used in the manufacture of ferric chloride. The price of scrap steel has fluctuated significantly in the recent past due to global marketplace issues beyond the wastewater treatment industry. From November 2007 to August 2008, the price of scrap steel increased about 250 percent. Subsequently, the scrap steel price dropped over 60 percent during the 2008 – 2009 contract period. Kemira is the largest supplier nationally and is a major Form No. DW-102 Agenda Report – Board Revised: 12/06/06 Page 2 supplier to other wastewater treatment utilities in the region. Staff recommends that the contract for ferric chloride be extended for an additional one-year term. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS 1. 10/22/08: Board of Directors approved Change Order No. 4 to Purchase Order No. 102354 OB for Purchase of Ferric Chloride, Specification No. C-2005-247, issued to Kemira Water at an initial unit price of $610 per dry ton delivered, plus applicable tax indexed to Iron Age Scrap Index #1 Bushing Chicago listing benchmark of $635/ton and a pricing correction factor of 34 percent of the difference of the benchmark and index on a quarterly basis, for an estimated annual contract amount of $4,600,925 for the period December 1, 2008 through November 30, 2009. 2. 10/24/07: Board of Directors approved Change Order No. 3 to Purchase Order No. 102354-OB for Purchase of Ferric Chloride, Specification No. C-2005-247, for a unit price increase of $28.25 per dry ton for ferric chloride, increasing the total price to $462.25 per dry ton plus tax for an estimated amount of $4,029,562 for the period December 1, 2007 through November 30, 2008. 3. 10/25/06: Board of Directors approved Change Order No. 1 for a unit price increase of $76.20 per dry ton for ferric chloride increasing the total price to $434.00 per dry ton plus tax for an estimated amount of $3,255,000 for the period December 1, 4. The contract was competitively bid in fiscal year 2005-06 and awarded by the Purchasing Manager according to Resolution No. OCSD 04-08, Delegation of Authority. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION As our facilities grow and we continue to provide more flows to Orange County Water District for the Ground Water Reclamation System, we optimize the use of ferric chloride in the many process areas to maintain performance considering cost and regulatory risks. Alternative formulations of iron salts have been trialed or considered; however, plant performance suffered with little to no projected cost savings. Non-iron based chemicals have also been considered, but do not appear to offer a cost benefit. Additionally, a broad analysis of domestic and global markets for ferric chloride and potential alternate chemicals will be conducted as part of a Chemical Supply Sustainability Study already in progress. The Iron Age Black Foundry Busheling index is a better representative of the quality of steel used in the production of ferric chloride by Kemira than the quality of steel covered by the Iron Age Scrap Index #1 Bushing Chicago index, which was used during the last contract term. Form No. DW-102 Agenda Report – Board Revised: 12/06/06 Page 3 Kemira Water has offered to provide a one-year extension through November 30, 2010, at an initial unit price of $673.02 per dry ton of ferric chloride indexed to Iron Age Black Foundry Busheling benchmark of $635/ton and a pricing correction factor of 34% of the difference of the benchmark and index on a quarterly basis. The initial price offering of $673.02 per dry ton is an increase of $171.48 over the current contract price of $501.54 per dry ton. In the future, staff may propose using the chlor-alkali chemicals commodity index. This item is budgeted. (Object No. 52013, Divisions 830 and 840). However, in light of the extraordinary price increase, budget re-appropriations within the agency wide-operating budget may be necessary and the O&M staff will provide recommendations to the General Manager to accomplish this.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services SUBJECT: PROPOSITION 1A SECURITIZATION PROGRAM GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1) Authorize the General Manager to enroll the Orange County Sanitation District in the Proposition 1A Securitization Program, managed by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority, for the immediate collection of the 8 Percent State Budget Reduction of Local Property Tax Revenues estimated to be $5 million, in a form approved by General Counsel; and, 2) Adopt Resolution No. OCSD No. 09-15, Approving the Form of and Authorizing the Execution and Delivery of a Purchase and Sale Agreement and related documents with respect to the sale of the Seller’s Proposition 1A Receivable from the State; and, Directing and Authorizing certain actions in connection therewith. SUMMARY Proposition 1A Securitization Program, managed through the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA), provides all local government program participants 100 percent of its reduced property tax allocations, as a result of the passage of the FY 2009-2010 State budget that reduced local government property tax revenues by 8 percent. The funding of these reduced property tax revenues will come to the local government participants in two equal installments in January and May of 2010. The source of the funding is through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds by the CSCDA. Once the bonds are sold, local participating agencies have no ongoing obligations with repayment of the bonds. The State’s obligation to repay the 8 percent property tax borrowing is the only security pledge for the repayment of the bonds. The alternative to the Sanitation District is to forgo eight percent of property tax revenues in FY 2009-10, estimated at $5 million, until June 2013, at which time the estimated $5 million will be paid, including interest at 2 percent. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS N/A Page 2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The CSCDA was created in 1988 to enable local governments and eligible private entities access to low-cost, tax-exempt, financing. It has completed over 1,200 financings totaling more than $42 billion since 1988, and has consistently ranked in the top 10 of the more than 3,000 tax-exempt issuers nationwide. There would be no cost to the Sanitation District by participating in the program as all interest and issuance costs will be paid by the State. Participating local agencies will have no obligation on the bonds and no credit exposure to the State. The commitment process includes the following signed documents by November 6, 2009: • Adopted Sale Resolution with Clerk’s Certificate • Executed Purchase and Sale Agreement • Certificate of Local Agency • Opinion of Local Agency Counsel • Bill of Sale and Bringdown Certificate • Bringdown Opinion of Local Agency Counsel • Escrow Instruction Letter • Irrevocable instructions to the State Controller These documents will be made available at the October 28, 2009, Board meeting.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services SUBJECT: REVENUE REFUNDING CERTIFICATE ANTICIPATION NOTES, SERIES 2009B GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION 1) Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 09-16, Authorizing the Execution and Delivery by the District of an Installment Purchase Agreement, a Trust Agreement, and a Continuing Disclosure Agreement in connection with the execution and delivery of Orange County Sanitation District Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2009B, such Notes Evidencing Principal in an Aggregate Amount of Not to Exceed $181,000,000, Approving an Official Statement in Connection with the Offering and Sale of such Notes and Authorizing the Execution of Other Necessary Documents and Related Actions; and, 2) That the Orange County Sanitation District Financing Corporation approve the documents supporting and authorizing the Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2009B in an amount not to exceed $181,000,000. SUMMARY In September 2009, the Administration Committee and the Board of Directors authorized the execution and delivery of up to $181 million of Refunding Certificates of Participation. The current global financial crisis has negatively impacted the financial strength and ratings of many financial institutions that provide bank liquidity facilities securing variable rate bonds issued by municipal entities. Variable rate issues secured by banks with the least favorable investor perception have experienced higher than expected interest rate resets as investors are less willing to hold bonds secured by these weakening banks. In many cases, investors have tendered the bonds to the banks (Bank Bonds) to preempt any possibility of the liquidity bank not being able to provide funds in the future. Page 2 In addressing the global financial crisis and uncertainty in the market place, the District refinanced its exposure to higher reset rates and Bank Bonds existing with its outstanding Certificates of Participation (COP), Series 2006 variable rate debt by refunding it with the COP Series 2008C Certificate Anticipation Notes (CANs). The market yields on short-term securities issued in anticipation of permanent financing CANs have significantly lowered in cost to issuers. The District’s 2006 COPs debt was issued in 2006 as daily variable rate debt and had averaged 3.25 percent. However, the Bank Bond characteristics had increased the costs to over 4.00 percent in calendar year 2008. The yield on the COP Series 2008C CAN’s was 0.98 percent over a one-year period. Thus, the issuance of CANs allowed the District to redeem the Bank Bonds at a cost of less than 2.0 percent while waiting for the markets to stabilize. Staff has again recommended refunding the 2008C CANs with a new one-year CAN that will again enable the District to lock-in a low rate for approximately one year without encumbering its cash reserves. Given the large single maturity, CANs can be sold on a competitive basis in order to obtain the lowest interest rate possible. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS September 23, 2009: Directed staff to pursue up to $181 million in one-year fixed-rate Certificates of Participation (COP) notes to replace the one-year $176 million outstanding certificates of participation notes maturing in December 2009 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Board of Directors and the Financing Corporation will each be required to adopt separate Resolutions to complete this refinancing. Drafts of these two Resolutions are attached for review. A Financing Corporation is required by the structure of the COPs and was formed in April 2000, to satisfy this need. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is the same as the Board of Directors of the District and the Corporation meets after an adjournment of the OCSD Board. The OCSD Resolution authorizes the execution and delivery of certain legal documents and the execution and delivery of Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2009B, evidencing principal in an aggregate amount of not to exceed $181,000,000 all as spelled out in the title as follows: Page 3 “A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY BY THE DISTRICT OF AN INSTALLMENT PURCHASE AGREEMENT, A TRUST AGREEMENT, AND A CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT REVENUE REFUNDING CERTIFICATE ANTICIPATION NOTES, SERIES 2009B, SUCH NOTES EVIDENCING PRINCIPAL IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF NOT TO EXCEED $181,000,000, APPROVING AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING AND SALE OF SUCH NOTES, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF OTHER NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND RELATED ACTIONS.” The Resolution of the Corporation is somewhat shorter and simpler. It authorizes three actions that are similarly enumerated in the title as follows: “A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT FINANCING CORPORATION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY BY THE CORPORATION OF AN INSTALLMENT PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND A TRUST AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT REVENUE REFUNDING CERTIFICATE ANTICIPATION NOTES, SERIES 2009B; AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF SUCH NOTES EVIDENCING PRINCIPAL IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF NOT-TO-EXCEED $181,000,000 AND; AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND NOTES AND RELATED ACTIONS.” Following is a chart listing the remaining steps to be completed for the issuance of the Certificate Anticipation Notes Series 2009B debt issuance: October  Board approval of legal and disclosure documents  Receive Ratings from Bond Rating Agencies November  Competitive Bids December  Closing  Payment on 2008C CANs ATTACHMENTS (Only the District Resolution was provided at the Administration Committee Meeting of October 14th.

Except as would not cause any Note to become an “arbitrage bond” within the meaning of section 148 of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, the District will not, at any time prior to the final cancellation of the last Note to be retired, directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds of the Notes in any Investment, if as a result of that investment the yield of any Investment acquired with Gross Proceeds of the Notes, whether then held or previously disposed of, would materially exceed the yield of the Notes within the meaning of said section 148. (f) Not Federally Guaranteed. Except to the extent such action or failure to act would not, pursuant to section 149(b) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, adversely affect the exclusion pursuant to section 103(a) of interest on the Notes from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, the District will not take or omit to take any action that would cause any Note to be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder. (g) Information Report. The District will timely file any information necessary to the exclusion pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code of interest on the Notes required by section 149(e) of the Code with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038-G or such other form and in such place as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe. (h) Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent permitted by section 148 of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, the District will not at any time prior to the final cancellation of the last of the Notes to be retired, enter into any transaction that reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to section 148(f) of the Code because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the transaction had been at arm’s length and had the yield on the Notes not been relevant to either party. (i) Notes Satisfy Section 149(g). The District represents that neither the Prior Issue nor the Notes are or will become “hedge bonds” within the meaning of section 149(g) of the Code. Without limitation of the foregoing, with respect to the Prior Issue, (i)(A) on the date of issuance of that issue the District reasonably expected (based upon its own knowledge and upon representations made by other governmental persons upon the issuance of those obligations) that within the three-year period commencing on such date no less than 85% of the spendable proceeds of that issue would be expended for the governmental purposes thereof and (B) the District believes and represents that at no time has more than 50% of the proceeds of that issue been invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a substantially guaranteed yield for a period of four years or more, and with respect to the application of Proceeds of the Notes other than for refunding purposes, (ii)(A) the District will not deliver the Notes unless on the date of the issuance of the Notes it reasonably expects that within the three-year period commencing on such date of issuance at least 85% of such spendable proceeds of the Notes will be expended for the governmental purpose of the Notes and (B) at no time will more than 50% of such spendable proceeds of the Notes be invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a substantially guaranteed yield for a period of four years or more. 85238425.4 20 (j) Elections. The District hereby directs and authorizes any Authorized Representative to make elections permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Code or the Tax Regulations, as such Authorized Representative (after consultation with Bond Counsel) deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Notes, in the Tax Certificate relating to the Notes or similar or other appropriate certificate, form or document. (k) Tax Certificate. The District agrees to execute and deliver in connection with the execution and delivery of the Notes a Tax Certificate as to Arbitrage and the Provisions of Sections 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or similar document containing additional representations and covenants pertaining to the exclusion of interest with respect to the Notes from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes (the “Tax Certificate”), which representations and covenants are incorporated as though expressly set forth herein. Section 6.09. Continuing Disclosure. The District will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement applicable to it. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, failure of the District to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Agreement shall not be considered an Event of Default; provided, however, the Trustee may (and, at the request of any Participating Underwriter or the Owners of at least 25% aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes and upon being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction, shall) or any Owner or Beneficial Owner of Notes may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate to compel performance, including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order. Section 6.10. Further Assurances. The District will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such other and further assurances, documents or instruments and promptly do or cause to be done all such other and further things as may be necessary or reasonably required in order to carry out the purposes and intentions of this Trust Agreement and for preserving and protecting the rights and interests of the Owners. ARTICLE VII DEFAULT AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY Section 7.01. Action upon Event of Default. An Event of Default under the Installment Purchase Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and an Event of Default under the Master Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. The Trustee may give notice, as assignee of the Corporation, of an Event of Default under the Installment Purchase Agreement to the District, and shall do so if directed to do so by the Owners of not less than 5% of the aggregate principal evidenced by Notes then Outstanding. In each and every case during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Owners of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal evidenced by Notes then Outstanding, shall, upon notice in writing to the District and the Corporation (a) exercise any of the remedies granted to the Corporation under the Installment Purchase Agreement, (b) exercise any of the remedies granted to the Trustee under the Master Agreement, and (c) take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to enforce its rights pursuant to this Trust Agreement, the Installment Purchase Agreement or the Master Agreement or to protect and 85238425.4 21 enforce any of the rights vested in the Trustee or the Owners by this Trust Agreement, the Notes, the Installment Purchase Agreement or the Master Agreement, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal or equitable right, including any one or more of the remedies set forth in Section 9.02 hereof. Section 7.02. Other Remedies of the Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall have the right: (a) by mandamus or other action or proceeding or suit at law or in equity to enforce its rights against the Corporation or the District or any member, director, officer or employee thereof, and to compel the Corporation or the District or any such member, director, officer or employee to perform or carry out its or his or her duties under law and the agreements and covenants required to be performed by it or him or her contained herein; (b) by suit in equity to enjoin any acts or things which are unlawful or violate the rights of the Trustee; or (c) by suit in equity upon the happening of any Event of Default hereunder to require the Corporation and the District to account as the trustee of an express trust. Section 7.03. Non-Waiver. A waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by the Trustee or the Owners shall not affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract or impair any rights or remedies on any such subsequent default or breach of duty or contract. No delay or omission by the Trustee or the Owners to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any default or breach of duty or contract shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or breach of duty or contract or an acquiescence therein, and every right or remedy conferred upon the Trustee or the Owners by law or by this Article may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often the Trustee shall deem expedient. If any action, proceeding or suit to enforce any right or to exercise any remedy is abandoned or determined adversely to the Trustee or any Owner, then subject to any adverse determination, the Trustee, such Owner, the Corporation and the District shall be restored to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such action, proceeding or suit had not been brought or taken. Section 7.04. Remedies Not Exclusive. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 hereof, no remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise and may be exercised without exhausting and without regard to any other remedy conferred by any law. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Section 7.05. Application of Amounts After Default. All damages or other payments received by the Trustee for the enforcement of any rights and powers of the Trustee under this 85238425.4 22 Article shall be deposited into the Installment Payment Fund and as soon as practicable thereafter applied: (a) to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.03 hereof; (b) unless the unpaid Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, shall have become, and shall remain, immediately due and payable pursuant to the Master Agreement: (i) to the payment of all amounts then due for interest evidenced by the Notes, in respect of which, or for the benefit of which, money has been collected (other than Notes which have become payable prior to such Event of Default and money for the payment of which is held by the Trustee), ratably without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts of interest evidenced by such Notes due and payable; and (ii) to the payment of all amounts then due for principal evidenced by the Notes, in respect of which, or for the benefit of which, money has been collected (other than Notes which have become payable prior to such Event of Default and money for the payment of which is held by the Trustee), ratably without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts of principal evidenced by such Notes due and payable. (c) if the unpaid Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, shall have become, and shall remain, immediately due and payable pursuant to the Master Agreement, to the payment of all amounts then due for principal and interest evidenced by the Notes and, if the amount available therefor shall not be sufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid, then to the payment thereof ratably, without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or preference. Section 7.06. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Trust Agreement or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Owners of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. Section 7.07. Limitation on Suits. No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Trust Agreement, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (a) such Owner shall have previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default hereunder, (b) the Owners of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal evidenced by Notes then Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder, (c) such Owner or Owners shall have afforded to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (d) the Trustee for 60 85238425.4 23 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such proceedings, and (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Owners of a majority of the aggregate principal evidenced by Notes then Outstanding; it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Trust Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Owner of Notes, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Owner or to enforce any right under this Trust Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Owners of Notes. Section 7.08. No Liability by the Corporation to the Owner. Except as expressly provided herein, the Corporation shall not have any obligation or liability to the Owners with respect to the payment when due of the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, by the District, or with respect to the performance by the District of the other agreements and covenants required to be performed by it contained in the Installment Purchase Agreement, the Master Agreement or herein, or with respect to the performance by the Trustee of any right or obligation required to be performed by it contained herein.

Except for the payment when due of the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, and the performance of the other agreements and covenants required to be performed by it contained in the Installment Purchase Agreement, the Master Agreement or herein, the District shall not have any obligation or liability to the Owners with respect to this Trust Agreement or the preparation, execution, delivery or transfer of the Notes or the disbursement of the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, by the Trustee to the Owners, or with respect to the performance by the Trustee of any right or obligation required to be performed by it contained herein. Section 7.10. No Liability of the Trustee to the Owners. Except as expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall not have any obligation or liability to the Owners with respect to the payment when due of the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, by the District, or with respect to the performance by the Corporation or the District of the other agreements and covenants required to be performed by them, respectively contained in the Installment Purchase Agreement or herein. ARTICLE VIII THE TRUSTEE Section 8.01. Employment of the Trustee; Duties. The Corporation and the District hereby appoint and employ the Trustee to receive, deposit and disburse the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, to prepare, execute, deliver and transfer the Notes and to perform the other functions contained herein, all in the manner provided herein and subject to the conditions and terms hereof. By executing and delivering this Trust Agreement, the Trustee accepts the appointment and employment hereinabove referred to and accepts the rights and obligations of the Trustee provided herein, subject to the conditions and terms hereof. Other than when an Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement, and no 85238425.4 24 implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Section 8.02. Removal and Resignation of the Trustee. The Corporation and the District may, by an instrument in writing, remove the Trustee initially a party hereto and any successor thereto unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, and shall remove the Trustee initially a party hereto and any successor thereto if at any time (a) requested to do so by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by the Owners of a majority of the aggregate principal evidenced by the Notes at the time Outstanding (or their attorneys duly authorized in writing), or (b) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the following paragraph, and shall appoint a successor Trustee. The Trustee shall be a bank having trust powers or a trust company in good standing in or incorporated under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, having (or if such bank or trust company is a member of a bank holding company system, its parent bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000, and be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state banking authorities. If such bank or trust company publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such bank or trust company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Corporation and the District and by giving notice, by first class mail, postage prepaid, of such resignation to the Owners at their addresses appearing on the registration books maintained by the Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Corporation and the District shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by an instrument in writing; provided, however, that in the event the District and the Corporation do not appoint a successor Trustee within 30 days following receipt of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the District, petition the appropriate court having jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. Any resignation or removal of a Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed under this Trust Agreement shall signify its acceptance of such appointment by executing and delivering to the District and the Corporation and to its predecessor Trustee a written acceptance thereof, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the moneys, estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such predecessor Trustee, with like effect as if originally named Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, at the written request of the District or of the successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments of conveyance or further assurance and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all the right, title and interest of such predecessor Trustee in and to any property held by it under this Trust Agreement and shall pay over, transfer, assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any money or other property subject to the trusts and conditions herein set forth. 85238425.4 25 Any corporation, association or agency into which the Trustee may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party, provided that such entity meets the combined capital and surplus requirements of this Section, ipso facto, shall be and become successor trustee under this Trust Agreement and vested with all the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Section 8.03. Compensation and Indemnification of the Trustee. The District shall from time to time, subject to any written agreement then in effect with the Trustee, pay the Trustee reasonable compensation for all its services rendered hereunder and reimburse the Trustee for all its reasonable advances and expenditures (which shall not include “overhead expenses” except as such expenses are included as a component of the Trustee’s stated annual fees or disclosed transaction fees) hereunder, including but not limited to advances to and reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of accountants, agents, appraisers, consultants or other experts, and counsel not directly employed by the Trustee but an attorney or firm of attorneys retained by the Trustee, employed by it in the exercise and performance of its rights and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not have any lien for such compensation or reimbursement against any moneys held by it in any of the funds or accounts established hereunder. The Trustee may take whatever legal actions are lawfully available to it directly against the Corporation or the District. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder. The District, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to indemnify and save the Trustee, its directors, officers, employees and agents harmless against any liabilities which it may incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, including but not limited to costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim or liability, which are not due to its negligence or willful misconduct. Section 8.04. Protection of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be protected and shall incur no liability in acting or proceeding in good faith upon any affidavit, bond, certificate, consent, notice, request, requisition, resolution, statement, waiver or other paper or document which it shall in good faith believe to be genuine and to have been adopted, executed or delivered by the proper party or pursuant to any of the provisions hereof, and the Trustee shall be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statements contained or matters referred to in any such instrument, but may accept and rely upon the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statements. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Owners of the Notes pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such Owners shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, against the reasonable 85238425.4 26 costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. The Trustee may consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Corporation or the District, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect to any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith in accordance therewith. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the sufficiency of the Notes or the Installment Purchase Agreement, or of the assignment made to it hereunder, or for statements made in the preliminary or final official statement relating to the Notes. The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default hereunder, except failure of any of the payments to be made to the Trustee required to be made hereunder or under the Installment Purchase Agreement, unless the Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such default or Event of Default by the District, the Corporation or the Owners of not less than 5% of the aggregate principal evidenced by the Notes then Outstanding. Whenever in the administration of its rights and obligations hereunder the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a Written Certificate of the District or a Written Certificate of the Corporation, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or suffered under the provisions hereof upon the faith thereof, but in its discretion the Trustee may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require such additional evidence as it deems reasonable. The Trustee may buy, sell, own, hold and deal in any of the Notes and may join in any action which any Owner may be entitled to take with like effect as if the Trustee were not a party hereto. The Trustee, either as principal or agent, may also engage in or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Corporation or the District, and may act as agent, depository or trustee for any committee or body of Owners or of owners of obligations of the Corporation or the District as freely as if it were not the Trustee hereunder. The Trustee may, to the extent reasonably necessary, execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any rights and obligations required of it hereunder by or through agents, attorneys or receivers, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trust and its rights and obligations hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agent, attorney or receiver selected by it with reasonable care; provided, however, that in the event of any negligence or misconduct of any such attorney, agent or receiver, the Trustee shall diligently pursue all remedies of the Trustee against such agent, attorney or receiver. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made by it in good faith unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. The Trustee shall not be answerable for the exercise of any trusts or powers hereunder or for anything whatsoever in connection with the funds established hereunder, except only for its own willful misconduct, negligence or breach of an obligation hereunder. 85238425.4 27 The Trustee may, on behalf of the Owners, intervene in any judicial proceeding to which the Corporation or the District is a party and which, in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel, affects the Notes or the security therefor, and shall do so if requested in writing by the Owners of at least 5% of the aggregate principal evidenced by Notes then Outstanding, provided the Trustee shall have no duty to take such action unless it has been indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all risk or liability arising from such action. ARTICLE IX AMENDMENT OF OR SUPPLEMENT TO TRUST AGREEMENT Section 9.01. Amendment or Supplement. (a) This Trust Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Corporation, the District, the Owners and the Trustee hereunder may be amended or supplemented at any time by an amendment hereof or supplement hereto which shall become binding when the prior written consents of the Owners of a majority of the aggregate principal evidenced by the Notes then Outstanding, exclusive of Notes disqualified as provided in Section 9.02 hereof, are filed with the Trustee. No such amendment or supplement shall (i) extend the stated Maturity Date of any Note or reduce the rate of interest evidenced thereby or extend the time of payment of such interest or reduce the amount of principal evidenced thereby, (ii) reduce the percentage of Owners whose consent is required for the execution of any amendment hereof or supplement hereto without the prior written consent of the Owners of all Notes then Outstanding, (iii) modify any of the rights or obligations of the Trustee without the prior written consent of the Trustee, or (iv) amend this Section without the prior written consent of the Owners of all Notes then Outstanding.

Section 9.03. Endorsement or Replacement of Notes After Amendment or Supplement.

If the Trustee shall receive an Opinion of Counsel advising that new Notes modified to conform to such action are necessary, modified Notes shall be prepared, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Outstanding Notes such new Notes shall be exchanged at the Principal Office without cost to each Owner for Notes then Outstanding upon surrender of such Outstanding Notes. Section 9.04. Amendment by Mutual Consent. The provisions of this Article shall not prevent any Owner from accepting any amendment as to the particular Notes owned by such Owner, provided that due notation thereof is made on such Notes. ARTICLE X DEFEASANCE Section 10.01. Discharge of Notes and Trust Agreement. (a) If the Trustee shall pay or cause to be paid or there shall otherwise be paid (i) to the Owners of all Outstanding Notes the interest and principal evidenced thereby at the times and in the manner stipulated herein and therein, and (ii) all other amounts due hereunder and under the Installment Purchase Agreement, then such Owners shall cease to be entitled to the pledge of and lien on the amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts established hereunder, as provided herein, and all agreements and covenants of the Corporation, the District, and the Trustee to such Owners hereunder shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and shall be discharged and satisfied.

All statements contained in this introduction are qualified in their entirety by reference to the entire Official Statement. References to, and summaries of, provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State of California (the “State”) and any documents referred to herein do not purport to be complete and such references are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete provisions. All capitalized terms used in this Official Statement and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement, the Installment Purchase Agreement and the Master Agreement (each, as hereinafter defined). See APPENDIX C – “SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS – Definitions” herein. General This Official Statement, including the cover page and all appendices hereto, provides certain information concerning the sale and delivery of $___________* aggregate principal amount of the Orange County Sanitation District Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2009B (the “Notes”) evidencing direct, fractional undivided interests in the Installment Payment (the “Installment Payment”) and the interest thereon, to be made by the Orange County Sanitation District (the “District”) pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2009 (the “Installment Purchase Agreement”), by and between the District and the Orange County Sanitation District Financing Corporation (the “Corporation”). Pursuant to the Master Agreement for District Obligations, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the “Master Agreement”), by and between the District and the Corporation, the District has established and declared the conditions and terms upon which obligations such as the Installment Purchase Agreement, and the Installment Payment and the interest thereon, will be incurred and secured. The Installment Payment under the Installment Purchase Agreement is payable from (i) Net Revenues (as defined hereinafter) as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement, consisting primarily of all income and revenue received by the District from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System of the District (the “Wastewater System”) remaining after payment of Maintenance and Operation Costs, and (ii) other lawfully available funds of the District, as further described in “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES” herein. The Notes are to be executed and delivered pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2009 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and among the District, the Corporation and Union Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). Proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be used to (i) pay at maturity all of the Orange County Sanitation District Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series 2008C (Certificate Anticipation Notes), currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $176,115,000 (the “Refunded Notes”), and (ii) pay the costs incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Notes. See “PLAN OF FINANCE” herein. The Notes will be executed and delivered in the form of fully registered certificates, dated as of the date of initial delivery thereof and will mature on December 1, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest evidenced by the Notes will be payable on the Maturity Date. See “THE NOTES” herein. The Notes initially will be delivered only in book-entry form and will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The * Preliminary; subject to change. 85240462.7 2 Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”), which will act as securities depository for the Notes. The Notes will be delivered in denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof. So long as the Notes are in the DTC book-entry system, the interest and principal due with respect to the Notes will be payable by the Trustee, or its agent, to DTC or its nominee. DTC, in turn, will make payments pursuant to its procedures as described under APPENDIX E – “BOOK–ENTRY SYSTEM” herein. The District The District is a public agency responsible for regional wastewater collection, treatment and disposal. The District is the sixth largest wastewater discharger in the United States. The District provides service to an area with a population of more than 2.5 million people in the northern and central portion of the County of Orange (the “County”), in a service area of approximately 471 square miles, treating 221 million gallons per day (“mg/d”) of wastewater in Fiscal Year 2008-09. See “THE DISTRICT,” “DISTRICT REVENUES” and “FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS” herein. Security and Sources of Payment for the Notes The Notes evidence direct, fractional undivided interests in the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, paid by the District pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement. The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment and the interest thereon and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement is a special obligation of the District payable, in the manner provided under the Installment Purchase Agreement, from Net Revenues, and other lawfully available funds of the District, as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement. Net Revenues generally consist of all income and revenue received by the District from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System remaining after payment of Maintenance and Operation Costs, all as further provided in the Master Agreement. The District expects the principal of and interest on the Notes to be paid from proceeds of the sale, prior to the Maturity Date, of a future series of certificates of participation, notes or other obligations of the District. The sale and delivery of a future series of certificates of participation, notes or other obligations of the District will depend on market conditions, certain approvals by the District and the Corporation and other factors. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES — Sale Proceeds of Future Obligations.” The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation and, as such, is subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits, interests and security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. The District currently has Outstanding Senior Obligations payable from Net Revenues on a parity with the Installment Payment under the Installment Purchase Agreement. See “FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS – Existing Indebtedness” and “THE DISTRICT” herein and APPENDIX C – “SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS – Master Agreement” attached hereto. The District has no Subordinate Obligations currently outstanding. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District will, to the extent permitted by law, fix, prescribe and collect fees and charges for the services and facilities of the Wastewater System which will be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year (a) Net Revenues equal to 125% of Debt Service on Senior Obligations for such Fiscal Year and (b) Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service on all Obligations for such Fiscal Year, as such terms are defined in the Master Agreement. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and charges and may make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but shall not reduce the fees and charges then in effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and charges will at all times be sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement. See “SECURITY AND SOURCE OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES – Rate Covenant” herein. The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment and the interest thereon, and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement is a special obligation of 85240462.7 3 the District payable, in the manner provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement, from Net Revenues and other lawfully available funds of the District, as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement, and does not constitute a debt of the District or of the State, or of any political subdivision thereof, in contravention of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the District or the State or any political subdivision thereof, is pledged to the payment of the Installment Payment, or the interest thereon, or other payments required to be made under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation and, as such, is subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits, interests and security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES” herein. Continuing Disclosure The District has covenanted for the benefit of holders and beneficial owners of the Notes to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events, if material. See “CONTINUING DISCLOSURE” herein and APPENDIX D – “FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.” Miscellaneous The descriptions herein of the Trust Agreement, the Master Agreement, the Installment Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreements relating to the Notes are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents. Copies of the documents are on file and available for inspection at the corporate trust office of the Trustee at Union Bank, N.A., 120 South San Pedro Street, Suite 400, Los Angeles, California 90012, Attention: Corporate Trust. PLAN OF FINANCE A portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with other available moneys, will be used to pay at maturity the prior installment payment (the “Refunded Installment Payment”) to be made by the District in connection with the Refunded Notes. Under the terms of the Trust Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2008 (the “Prior Trust Agreement”), pursuant to which the Refunded Notes were executed and delivered, the payment of the Refunded Notes will be effected by depositing a portion of the proceeds of the Notes in the Installment Payment Fund established under the Prior Trust Agreement (the “Payment Fund”). Such proceeds and other moneys deposited by the District in the Escrow Fund will be held uninvested in cash in an amount sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on the Refunded Installment Payment through and including December 10, 2009 (the “Payment Date”) and to provide for the payment of the principal represented by the Refunded Installment Payments. In accordance with the Prior Trust Agreement, the Refunded Installment Payment will be applied to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest with respect to the outstanding Refunded Notes and to the prepayment of the principal of the outstanding Refunded Notes on the maturity date thereof. The amounts deposited in the Payment Fund will be held in trust solely for the Refunded Notes and will not be available to pay the principal and interest evidenced by the Notes or any obligations other than the Refunded Notes. ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS The estimated sources and uses of funds and other amounts in connection with the delivery of the Notes are presented below. 85240462.7 4 Sources Principal Amount of Notes $[PAR] Original Issue Premium Total Sources $ Uses Payment of Refunded Notes $ Initial Purchaser’s Discount Costs of Issuance(1) Total Uses $ ____________________ (1) Costs of Issuance include, among other things, the fees and expenses of rating agencies, Special Counsel and the Escrow Agent and the initial fees of the Trustee. THE NOTES General The Notes will be prepared in the form of fully registered certificates in denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The Notes will be dated the date of initial delivery thereof and will mature on the Maturity Date. The principal evidenced by the Notes shall be payable on the Maturity Date. Interest evidenced by the Notes will accrue from their date of initial delivery and will be payable on the Maturity Date. Interest evidenced by the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. See APPENDIX C — “SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS — Trust Agreement.” The Notes initially will be delivered only in book-entry form and will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”), which will act as securities depository for the Notes. Individual purchases of the Notes will be made in book-entry form only. Purchasers of Notes will not receive physical certificates representing their ownership interests in the Notes purchased. Payments of principal and interest evidenced by the Notes are payable directly to DTC by the Trustee. Upon receipt of payments of such principal and interest, DTC will in turn distribute such payments to the beneficial owners of the Notes. So long as the Notes are held in the DTC book-entry system, the interest and principal due with respect to the Notes will be payable by the Trustee, or its agent, to DTC or its nominee. DTC, in turn, will make payments pursuant to its procedures as described under APPENDIX E – “BOOK- ENTRY SYSTEM” herein. No Prepayment The Notes are not subject to prepayment prior to their maturity. SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES Sale Proceeds of Future Obligations The District expects the principal of and interest on the Notes to be paid from proceeds of the sale, prior to the Maturity Date, of a future series of certificates of participation, notes or other obligations of the District, that will amortize over a term of approximately 25 years (the “Future Obligations”). The issuance of the Future Obligations will require future authorizations by the governing boards of the District and the Corporation, as well as the preparation of suitable legal and disclosure documents for the issue. The District is currently unaware of any material impediment to obtaining such authorizations and documents. In addition, the issuance and sale of the Future Obligations will be contingent on the District’s 85240462.7 5 ability to access the municipal capital markets, which will depend on the District’s creditworthiness and market conditions during the weeks immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The District is unable to predict such matters with certainty and therefore cannot guarantee that the Future Obligations will be successfully issued and sold. Installment Payment The Notes evidence direct, fractional undivided interests in the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, paid by the District pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement. The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment and the interest thereon and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement is a special obligation of the District payable, in the manner provided under the Installment Purchase Agreement, from Net Revenues and other lawfully available funds of the District, as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement. Net Revenues generally consist of all income and revenue received by the District from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System remaining after payment of Maintenance and Operation Costs, all as further provided in the Master Agreement. See “DISTRICT REVENUES.” Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District has established and declared the conditions and terms upon which obligations such as the Installment Purchase Agreement, and the Installment Payment and the interest thereon payable under the Installment Purchase Agreement, will be incurred and secured. The obligation of the District to make the Installment Payment, and payments of interest thereon, and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement, from Net Revenues, and other lawfully available funds of the District, is absolute and unconditional, and until such time as the Installment Payment, payments of interest thereon, and such other payments shall have been paid in full (or provision for the payment thereof shall have been made pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement), the District has covenanted that it will not discontinue or suspend any Installment Payment when due, whether or not the Project or any part thereof is operating or operable or has been completed, or its use is suspended, interfered with, reduced or curtailed or terminated in whole or in part, and such Installment Payment, payments of interest thereon, and other payments shall not be subject to reduction whether offset or otherwise and shall not be conditional upon the performance or nonperformance by any party of any agreement or any cause whatsoever. The District’s obligation to make the Installment Payment from Net Revenues is on a parity with the District’s obligation to make payments with respect to its Outstanding Senior Obligations. See “– Net Revenues” below. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Corporation has assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of the Notes substantially all of its rights, title and interest in the Installment Purchase Agreement, including its right to receive Installment Payment and the interest thereon. The District has certain Existing Senior Obligations Outstanding payable from Net Revenues on a parity with the Installment Payment under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The term “Existing Senior Obligations” as used in this Official Statement refers to the 2000 Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2003 Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2007A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2007B Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2008A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2008B Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2008C Installment Purchase Agreement, and the 2009A Installment Purchase Agreement and the term “Senior Obligations” as used in this Official Statement refers to the Existing Senior Obligations and to any additional Senior Obligations, such as the Installment Purchase Agreement, that may be made payable on a parity basis to the Installment Payment as provided in the Master Agreement. Senior Obligations, together with any Subordinate Obligations payable on a subordinate basis to the Installment Payment executed and delivered as provided in the Master Agreement, are referred to collectively as the “Obligations.” The District has no Subordinate Obligations currently outstanding. See “FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS — Existing Indebtedness” herein and APPENDIX C — “SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS — Master Agreement” attached hereto. The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement and Master Agreement, is a 85240462.7 6 special obligation of the District payable, in the manner provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement, from Net Revenues and other lawfully available funds of the District, as provided for in the Installment Purchase Agreement, and does not constitute a debt of the District, the State or of any political subdivision thereof, in contravention of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the District, the State or any political subdivision thereof, is pledged to the payment of the Installment Payment, or the interest thereon, or other payments required to be made under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation and, as such, is subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits, interests and security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES” herein. Available Funds of the District As Senior Obligations under the Master Agreement, the Installment Payment is payable from and secured by a pledge of Net Revenues. Should Net Revenues prove insufficient, the Installment Purchase Agreement further provides that the Installment Payment are payable from any other lawfully available funds of the District. The primary lawfully available funds of the District are its reserve funds, other than Debt Service Required Reserves. Debt Service Required Reserves consist of trustee-held amounts credited to debt service reserve funds securing the District’s Existing Senior Obligations, as well as additional amounts set aside by the District for the payment of debt service in accordance with the District’s reserve policy. See “DISTRICT REVENUES — Reserves.” The District’s existing reserves at November 1, 2009, excluding Debt Service Required Reserves, were approximately $____ million. The District’s reserves at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, excluding Debt Service Required Reserves, are projected to be approximately $___ million and $___ million, respectively. See “DISTRICT REVENUES — Reserves,” “— Summary of Operating Data” and “— Projected Operating Data.” Net Revenues The Installment Purchase Agreement provides for the Installment Payment to be payable from, among other things, Net Revenues as provided in the Master Agreement, which consist of Revenues remaining after payment of costs paid by the District for maintaining and operating the Wastewater System (“Maintenance and Operation Costs”). Revenues are defined in the Master Agreement to mean, for any period, all income and revenue received by the District during such period from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including all fees and charges received during such period for the services of the Wastewater System, investment income received during such period (but only to the extent that such investment income is generally available to pay costs with respect to the Wastewater System, including Maintenance and Operation Costs), Net Proceeds of business interruption insurance received during such period, ad valorem taxes received during such period, payments under the Agreement Acquiring Ownership Interests, Assigning Rights and Establishing Obligations, entered into on February 13, 1986, and amendment No. 1 thereto dated December 10, 1986, by and between predecessor County Sanitation District No. 14 of Orange County and the Irvine Ranch Water District (the “IRWD Agreement”) received during such period and all other money received during such period howsoever derived by the District from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System or arising from the Wastewater System (including any standby or availability charges), but excluding (a) Capital Facilities Capacity Charges, (b) payments received under Financial Contracts, and (c) refundable deposits made to establish credit and advances or contributions in aid of construction (which, for purposes of the Master Agreement, shall not include payments under the IRWD Agreement); provided, however, that (i) Revenues shall be increased by the amounts, if any, transferred during such period from the Rate Stabilization Account to the Revenue Account and shall be decreased by the amounts, if any, transferred during such period from the Revenue Account to the Rate Stabilization Account, and (ii) Revenues shall include Capital Facilities Capacity Charges collected during such period to the extent that such Capital Facilities Capacity Charges could be 85240462.7 7 properly expended on a Capital Facilities Capacity Charge Eligible Project for which the proceeds of Subject Obligations were used or are available to be used. See “DISTRICT REVENUES — Additional Revenues” herein. The District’s obligation to make the Installment Payment from its Net Revenues is on a parity with the District’s obligation to make payments with respect to its other outstanding obligations described as Senior Obligations and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations, as provided in the Master Agreement. The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation and, as such, is subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits, interests and security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District pledges all Net Revenues to the payment of the Senior Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations, and the Net Revenues will not be used for any other purpose while any of the Senior Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations remain unpaid; provided, however, that out of the Net Revenues there may be apportioned such sums for such purposes as are expressly permitted by the Master Agreement. This pledge constitutes a first lien on the Net Revenues for the payment of the Senior Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations. The term Senior Obligations, generally means all revenue bonds or notes (including bond anticipation notes and commercial paper) of the District authorized, executed, issued and delivered under and pursuant to applicable law, the Installment Purchase Agreement and all other contracts (including financial contracts) or leases of the District authorized and executed by the District under and pursuant to applicable law, the installment, lease or other payments under which are, in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement, payable from Net Revenues on a parity with the payments under the Master Agreement. The District may at any time incur Subordinate Obligations payable on a subordinate basis to the Installment Payment executed and delivered as provided in the Master Agreement; provided, however, that prior to incurring such Subordinate Obligations, the District will have determined that the incurrence thereof will not materially adversely affect the District’s ability to comply with the requirements of the Master Agreement. The District may at any time incur Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Subordinate Obligations. For a description of the District’s Outstanding Senior Obligations and Subordinate Obligations, see “FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS — Existing Indebtedness” herein. There are currently no Subordinate Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Subordinate Obligations outstanding. The District may, in connection with the incurrence of Subordinate Obligations, pledge Net Revenues to the payment of Subordinate Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Subordinate Obligations; provided, however, that such pledge, and any lien created thereby, shall be junior and subordinate to the pledge of, and lien on, Net Revenues for the payment of Senior Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations. Rate Stabilization Account To avoid fluctuations in its fees and charges for the Wastewater System, from time to time the District may deposit in the Rate Stabilization Account from Net Revenues such amounts as the District deems necessary or appropriate. From time to time, the District may also transfer moneys from the Rate Stabilization Account to the Revenue Account to be used by the District, first to pay all Maintenance and Operations Costs as and when the same shall be due and payable. In addition, any such amount transferred from the Rate Stabilization Account to the Revenue Account by the District is included as Revenues for any period, but such transferred amount is excluded from determining Operating Revenues for any period. Revenues will be decreased by the amounts, if any, transferred from the Revenue Account to the Rate Stabilization Account. There are presently no funds in the Rate Stabilization Account. 85240462.7 8 Allocation of Revenues To carry out and effectuate the pledge of Net Revenues under the Master Agreement as described above, the District agrees and covenants that all Operating Revenues received by the District will be deposited when and as received in the Revenue Account. Additionally, amounts may, from time to time as the District deems necessary or appropriate, be transferred from the Rate Stabilization Account and deposited in the Revenue Account, as described above under “— Rate Stabilization Account.” The District will pay from the Revenue Account all Maintenance and Operations Costs (including amounts reasonably required to be set aside in contingency reserves for Maintenance and Operations Costs, the payment of which is not immediately required) as and when the same shall be due and payable. After having paid, or having made provisions for the payment of, Maintenance and Operations Costs, the District shall set aside and deposit or transfer, as the case may be, from the Revenue Account such amounts at such times as provided in the Master Agreement in the following order of priority: (1) Senior Obligation Payment Account; (2) Senior Obligation Reserve Funds; (3) Subordinate Obligation Payment Account; (4) Subordinate Obligation Reserve Funds; and (5) Rate Stabilization Account. Amounts required or permitted to be deposited or transferred as described in items 2, 3, 4 and 5 above, shall not be so deposited or transferred unless the District shall have determined that there will be sufficient Net Revenues available to make the required deposits or transfers on the dates on which such deposits or transfers are required to be made as described above. So long as the District has determined that Net Revenues will be sufficient to make all of the deposits or transfers required to be made pursuant to items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 above, on the dates on which such deposits or transfers are required to be made, Net Revenues on deposit in the Revenue Account may from time to time be used for any purpose for which the District funds may be legally applied. For additional information, see APPENDIX C — “SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS — Master Agreement.” Rate Covenant Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District will, to the extent permitted by law, fix, prescribe and collect fees and charges for the services of the Wastewater System which will be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year (a) Net Revenues equal to 125% of Debt Service on Senior Obligations for such Fiscal Year and (b) Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service on all Obligations for such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and charges and may make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but will not reduce the fees and charges then in effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and charges will at all times be sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement. In addition, the District has covenanted in the Master Agreement to prepare and adopt an annual budget for the Wastewater System for each Fiscal Year. Such budget will set forth in reasonable detail the Revenues anticipated to be derived in such Fiscal Year and the expenditures anticipated to be paid or provided for therefrom in such Fiscal Year, including, without limitation, the amounts required to pay or provide for the payment of the Obligations during such Fiscal Year, the amounts required to pay or provide for the payment of Maintenance and Operations Costs during such Fiscal Year and the amounts required to pay or provide for the payment of all other claims or obligations required to be paid from Revenues in such Fiscal Year, and will show that Revenues and Net Revenues will be at least sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Master Agreement. On or before September 1 of each Fiscal Year, the District will file with the Trustee a copy of the adopted budget for such Fiscal Year. See APPENDIX C — “SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS — Master Agreement” for additional information. 85240462.7 9 The District has an established reserve policy with eight separate reserve fund categories. Collectively, these reserves total over $475 million for each year of the current ten-year cash flow forecast of the District. At its election, the District may use unrestricted reserves to help satisfy the rate covenant described above. See “DISTRICT REVENUES — Reserves” herein.

(3) Excludes interest and principal due prior to November 2, 2009. THE DISTRICT Background The Orange County Sanitation District is a public agency responsible for regional wastewater collection, treatment and disposal. The District is the sixth largest wastewater discharger in the United States. The District provides service to an area with a population of more than 2.5 million people in the northern and central portion of the County by treating 221 mg/d of wastewater in Fiscal Year 2008-09. The District serves approximately 81% of the County population in approximately 471 square miles, or 59% of the County. The service area which comprises the District was originally formed in 1954 pursuant to the County Sanitation District Act, as amended, Section 4700 et seq. of the Health and Safety Code of the State. The District’s service area originally consisted of seven independent special districts in the County which were each responsible for matters relating to their individual districts. These special districts were jointly responsible for the treatment and disposal facilities which they each used. The seven independent districts were successors to the Joint Outfall Sewer Organization, which was formed in 1923 among the Cities of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Fullerton, and Orange, and the sanitary districts of Placentia, Buena Park, La Habra, and Garden Grove. The Joint Outfall Sewer Organization constructed a treatment plant and outfall in the early 1920’s to serve its members. It was reorganized in 1947 and 1948 into seven county sanitation districts – District Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 11. These prior districts were formed based on engineers’ analyses of the gravity flows in the service area. District No. 13 was formed in 1985 and District No. 14 was added in 1986. These districts were co-participants in a Joint Agreement which provided for the joint construction, ownership, and operation of the prior districts’ joint facilities. In April 1998, at the request of the District’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”), the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange (the “County Board”) passed Resolution No. 98-140 approving the consolidation of the then existing nine special districts into a new, single sanitation district, to be known as the Orange County Sanitation District. This action was designed to simplify governance structures, reduce the size of the Board of Directors, ease administrative processes, streamline decision-making and consolidate accounting and auditing processes. The consolidation was effective on July 1, 1998. Pursuant to the Resolution and Government Code Section 57500, the prior districts transferred and assigned all of their powers, rights, duties, obligations, functions and properties to the District, and the District assumed all obligations of the prior districts which were several and not joint including, without limitation, their obligations to repay the then outstanding certificates of participation. See “FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS – Existing Indebtedness” herein. The boundaries of the nine predecessor special districts were initially used by the District to delineate separate revenue areas (the “Revenue Areas”) for budgeting and accounting purposes and in order to facilitate the imposition of fees and charges imposed by the District. See “DISTRICT REVENUES – Sewer Service Charges” herein. The District is managed by the Board of Directors, whose members are appointed by twenty-five member cities and agencies which are serviced by the District. The District is responsible for construction and maintenance of a major portion of the wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities within its boundaries. Revenue Area No. 7 is responsible for approximately 152 miles of local sewers in its service area, 85240462.7 13 whereas local sanitary districts, water districts and cities are responsible for local sewers in the remainder of the District’s service area. Organization and Administration The District is independent of and overlaps other political jurisdictions. There are many governmental entities, including the County, that operate within the District’s jurisdiction. These entities are exclusively responsible for the administration of their own fiscal affairs, and the District is not entitled to operating surpluses of, or responsible for operating deficits of, any of the other entities. The twenty-five member Board of Directors is comprised of representatives from twenty-one cities, unincorporated areas of the County and three special districts, including mayors of cities, members of city councils, directors of independent special districts and one member from the County Board of Supervisors. Several board committees, made up of members of the Board of Directors, consider topics for action by the Board of Directors and make recommendations to the Board of Directors. The Chair and the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors are elected every year by a majority of the Board of Directors, and serve at the pleasure of the majority of the Board of Directors. The District has a general manager, general counsel, administrative and operating staff, with offices located at Reclamation Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley, California. The District currently employs an administrative and operating staff of over 600 under the direction of its General Manager, James D. Ruth. James D. Ruth is the District’s General Manager, and has served in that capacity since December 2005. Prior to that time, from January 2003 to October 2004, Mr. Ruth served as Chief Executive Officer for the County of Orange. Mr. Ruth had previously provided 22 years of service to the city of Anaheim as parks and recreation director, deputy city manager, assistant city manager and chief executive officer, a post he held for 11 years. Robert P. Ghirelli, Ph.D. is the District’s Assistant General Manager, and has served in that capacity since July 2006. Mr. Ghirelli previously served as Director of Technical Services for the District since his joining the District in 1998. Prior to joining the District, Mr. Ghirelli served for just over a year as managing principal of the Los Angeles office of a national environmental consulting firm, served 20 years in supervisory positions with the State and Regional Water Boards, with 13 years Executive Officer of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles/Ventura Region. Lorenzo Tyner is the District’s Director of Finance and Administrative Services. In September 2005, Mr. Tyner joined the District with nearly 15 years of public finance and budgeting experience, most recently serving as the Los Angeles Unified School District Budget Director and Deputy Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Tyner previously worked in large government organizations including the City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority and private sector companies IBM Global Services and Northrop. James Herberg, P.E. is the District’s Director of Engineering, and has served in that capacity since November 2006. Prior to becoming Director of Engineering, he was the District’s Director of Operations and Maintenance. Mr. Herberg has over twenty years of experience in water and wastewater including project management, construction management, design, strategic planning, and operations & maintenance. Ed Torres is the District’s Director of Technical Services for the District. He has served in this position since November 2006. Prior to joining the District in 1991, Mr. Torres served in a professional capacity for the California State University System and TRW Electronics and Defense Sector. Mr. Torres has twenty-four years of public and private sector experience in protecting public health and the environment. 85240462.7 14 Nick Arhontes, P.E. is the District’s Director of Operations and Maintenance and has served the District since 1988. Mr. Arhontes has over 30 years of experience managing various engineered systems in the private and public sectors regionally, nationally, and internationally. Services The District owns and operates regional wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal facilities for the metropolitan area in the northern and central portion of the County. The District receives wastewater from the collection systems of the cities, sanitary districts and unincorporated areas of the County located within the District. See “THE DISTRICT – Service Areas” herein. Generally, local agency systems collect wastewater from residential and industrial customers and convey the wastewater to District trunk sewer pipelines for conveyance to the District’s wastewater treatment plants. The District’s staff is responsible for operating and maintaining the District’s infrastructure, although some operations are provided by external contractors. Currently, the District has established supply contracts for all chemicals necessary to the operation and maintenance of the facilities of the District. The District has sufficient standby systems in the event of equipment failures or system outages. Service Area The map on the inside cover of this Official Statement shows the District’s boundaries and selected cities located within the District. District boundaries were originally established in 1947 and 1948 based on drainage basins. As the existing cities have grown and new areas have incorporated, city limits have come to overlap District boundaries. The District currently serves an approximately 471 square-mile area including 23 of the County’s 33 cities and unincorporated areas of the County. The District serves a population of more than 2.5 million residents and owns sanitary sewerage facilities with a replacement value of approximately $6.26 billion.

For a description of the Orange County Employee’s Retirement System, in which the District participates, and the District’s deferred compensation plan, see “Retirement Plan” below and Note 7 to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009, set forth in Appendix A. Retirement Plan The District participates in the Orange County Employee’s Retirement System (“OCERS”), a cost- sharing multiple-employer, defined benefit pension plan which is governed and administered by a nine- member Board of Retirement. OCERS was established in 1945 under the provisions of the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937, and provides members with retirement, death, disability, and cost of-living benefits. All District full-time employees participate in OCERS. The amount of the retirement allowance is based upon the member’s age at retirement, the member’s “final compensation” as defined in Section 31462 of the Retirement Law of 1937, the total years of service under OCERS, and the employee’s classification as a Tier I or Tier II member. As of July 1, 2006, the formula to calculate retirement benefits was enhanced to 2.5% at age 55, or employees retiring at age 55 or older receive 2.5% of their average salary for every year of service. Average salary is the highest consecutive 12 months of compensation for Tier I employees and the highest consecutive 36 months of compensation divided by three for Tier II employees. Benefits fully vest under the OCERS retirement plan on reaching five years of service. Employees who retire at or after age 50 with ten or more years of service are entitled to an annual retirement allowance. OCERS also provides death and disability benefits. As a condition of participation under the provisions of the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937, members are required to contribute a percentage of their annual compensation to OCERS. The District is required to make periodic contributions to OCERS in amounts that are estimated to remain a constant percentage of covered employees’ compensation such that, when combined with covered employees’ contributions, will fully provide for all covered employees’ benefits by the time they retire. A current comparison of OCERS costs for Fiscal Years 2004-05 through 2008-09 and projected costs for Fiscal Years 2009-10 through 2010-11 is shown in the following table. Table 3 Orange County Sanitation District Comparison of OCERS Costs for Fiscal Years 2003-04 through 2007-08 and Projected Costs for Fiscal Years 2008-09 through 2009-10 Fiscal Year Rate(1) Cost(2) 2004-05 12.37% $ 5,524,673 2005-06 15.21 7,416,556 2006-07 19.78 9,848,854 2007-08 20.55 11,011,693 2008-09 21.14 12,193,601 2009-10(3) 21.95 14,179,988 2010-11(3) 24.20 15,874,370 ____________________ (1) Required contribution as a percent of covered payroll.

For Fiscal Years 2004-05 through 2008-09, the District’s required contribution was equal to the contribution that the District actually made. As noted, the required contribution set forth above includes amortization of Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (“UAAL”). For the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2009, total payroll costs of employees covered by OCERS was $61,110,535. As of the December 31, 2008 valuation, OCERS has an aggregate UAAL ratio of 71.34%, for a total UAAL of $3.11 billion. The District expects the next OCERS valuation to occur on or about December 31, 2009. For more information regarding OCERS and the District’s retirement plan as of June 30, 2009, see Note 6 to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009 set forth in Appendix A. According to OCERS, its investment portfolio had a loss of $1.65 billion, or 20.71%, in 2008. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports of the Orange County Employees Retirement System are available on the OCERS website at http://www.ocers.org. The information on such website is not incorporated herein by such reference or otherwise. The District cannot predict whether the OCERS investment portfolio will experience additional losses in the future; however, any future losses could result in material increases in the District’s required contributions. Other Post-Employment Benefits The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) in April 2004 issued Statement No. 43, which requires state and local governmental employers to determine, on an actuarial basis, the total liability of post-employment benefits other than pension benefits (known as other post-employment benefits or “OPEB”), including healthcare and life insurance expenses and related liabilities, and an annual required contribution to fund such liabilities. In June 2004, GASB issued Statement No. 45, which requires state and local governmental employers to fund the actuarially determined annual required contribution (“ARC”) for its OPEB or record the entire amount of the unfunded liability of its OPEB in its financial statements. The District was required to implement GASB Statement No. 43 for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2007, and was required to implement GASB Statement No. 45 for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2008. The District has implemented GASB Statements Nos. 43 and 45. The District’s OPEB program currently includes medical and prescription drug benefits and a program of cash payments, known as Additional Retiree Benefit Account (“ARBA”) benefits. Benefits vest upon retirement after qualifying public service of ten years. Most of the District’s retirees under the age of 65 are covered under the same medical and prescription drug plans as active employees of the District, but an additional retiree-only fee for service plan called “Blue Card” is also available. According to the District’s actuary, Demsey Filliger Associates (the “Actuary”), the unfunded OPEB liability as of July 1, 2007 is approximately $17.4 million. The ARC is $1,764,000 for Fiscal Year 2008-09. Calculation of the ARC is based on the present value of benefits accruing in the current year, a 30-year amortization of the unfunded OPEB liability and an assumed rate of return on investments in the retiree fund of 5% per annum. The District does not believe that its OPEB liability will have a material impact on its operational results. Risk Management As of the date hereof, the District has in force basic all risk property and casualty insurance, including theft, fire, flood, terrorism and boiler and machinery losses to the Wastewater System. The District is self- insured for portions of workers’ compensation, property damage and general liability. The self-insurance portion of workers’ compensation is $500,000 per person per occurrence with outside excess insurance coverage to the statutory limit. The self-insured portion for property damage covering fire and other disasters is $250,000 per occurrence with outside excess insurance coverage to $1 billion. The self-insured portion for property damage covering flood is $100,000 per occurrence with outside excess insurance coverage to $300 85240462.7 18 million. The District is self-insured for all property damage from the perils of earthquakes. See “DISTRICT REVENUES – Reserves.” The District also maintains outside comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, including business interruption insurance, with a $100 million limit with deductibles ranging from $25,000 to $350,000. The District is self-insured for general liability coverage up to $250,000 per occurrence, with excess general liability coverage up to $25 million. During the past five fiscal years there have been no settlements in excess of covered amounts. Claims against the District are processed by outside insurance administrators. The District believes that there are no unrecorded claims as of June 30, 2008 that would materially affect the financial position of the District. For more information regarding the District’s insurance coverage as of June 30, 2009, see Note 1 to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Orange County Sanitation District for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009 set forth in Appendix A. Existing Facilities The District’s Wastewater System presently consists of two wastewater treatment plants, an influent metering and diversion structure, 15 off-plant pump stations, various interplant pipelines and connections, and the ocean outfall facilities. The District’s Wastewater System includes approximately 403 miles of sewers within 11 trunk sewer systems, 176 miles of local sewers located within Revenue Area No. 7, two treatment plants, two discharge outfalls and two emergency weir outlets. The existing treatment plants have a rated primary treatment capacity of 372 mg/d, including standby capacity. Treatment Plant No. 1 (“Plant No. 1”) is located in the City of Fountain Valley, about four miles from the coast, adjacent to the Santa Ana River. Secondary treatment capabilities are provided by a trickling filter plant and a conventional air activated sludge plant. Up to 105 mg/d of secondary treated effluent is conveyed to an Orange County Water District (the “OCWD”) plant for tertiary treatment prior to reclamation and ground water recharge. Treatment Plant No. 2 (“Plant No. 2”) is located in the City of Huntington Beach, 1,500 feet from the ocean, at the mouth of the Santa Ana River. Secondary treatment capabilities are provided by a pure oxygen activated sludge plant. The District employs several phases in the treatment of wastewater. The first phase, preliminary treatment, removes debris such as eggshells, sand and other non-biodegradable items. See also “Preferred Level of Treatment” and “Biosolids Management” below. In the next phase, primary treatment, wastewater is pumped to large settling basins. The liquids are separated from the remaining solids which settle or float as the wastewater passes through large settling basins called clarifiers. The settled solids are sent to solids treatment facilities. Approximately 25 percent of the primary treated wastewater flows into the ocean outfall pumping station where it is blended with secondary treated wastewater before being discharged into the ocean. The other 75 percent is sent to secondary treatment for further processing. During secondary treatment, the wastewater is placed in aeration basins to which naturally occurring bacteria are used to remove most of the remaining dissolved and suspended microscopic organic solids. The treated wastewater from both plants is mixed together at Plant No. 2, where it is then pumped through the ocean outfall pipe that extends five miles offshore. 85240462.7 19 Table 4 below sets forth the treatment plants’ approximate current and future treatment capacities.

Source: Orange County Sanitation District. The District also has the capability to divert a portion of the influent flow from Plant No. 1 to Plant No. 2 through interplant connections. A portion of the flow destined for Plant No. 2 can also be diverted to Plant No. 1. Another interplant facility allows gas generated during solids treatment to be transported between Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 and allows digester gas (which is used as fuel for many of the facilities’ engines) from one plant to be used at the other to balance the supply and demand, which results in efficient gas utilization. Permits, Licenses and Other Regulations The Wastewater System is subject to regulations imposed by the 1972 Clean Water Act, Public Law 92-500 (the “Clean Water Act”), the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended (“CEQA”) and the Federal Clean Air Act. The regulatory requirements are administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (“RWQCB”). Regulations of these agencies deal primarily with the quality of effluent which may be discharged from the treatment plants and the nature of waste material discharged into the collection system. The Clean Water Act directs the EPA to monitor and to regulate the discharge of pollution into navigable waterways and to enforce the requirements that all wastewater treatment plants in the nation provide full secondary treatment for sewage. In 1977, Congress amended the Clean Water Act to allow waivers of secondary treatment standards for certain ocean dischargers if they can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the EPA, that significant adverse environmental impacts would not occur. The District currently has all applicable permits and licenses necessary to operate its facilities. The District has discharged treated wastewater into the Pacific Ocean under a permit issued by the EPA and the RWQCB. The discharge permit included a waiver under the 301(h) provisions of the Clean Water Act, allowing for less than full secondary treatment based on an ocean discharge of sufficient depth, distance and dilution. The permit was initially issued in 1985 and was the first modified Section 301(h) permit issued to a major wastewater treatment facility. The District’s permit, which included the Section 301(h) waiver of secondary treatment requirements, was issued on May 6, 1998 and expired on June 8, 2003. In July 2002, the Board of Directors approved a change from the existing level of treatment, a blend of 50% advanced primary and 50% secondary treated wastewater, to full secondary treatment standards. See “Preferred Level of Treatment” and “Urban Runoff” below. As a result, the District established a policy to subject all wastewater discharges into the ocean to secondary treatment standards. See “Preferred Level of 85240462.7 20 Treatment” below. To implement this policy, District staff was directed to immediately proceed with the planning, design, and implementation of treatment methods with the expressed purposes of eliminating the need for the permit waiver received under Section 301(h). Following the determination by the Board of Directors in July 2002 to implement full secondary standards, staff prepared the Secondary Treatment National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) Permit Application that was required to be submitted to the regional office of the EPA and the RWQCB in December 2002. The NPDES Permit is separate and apart from the permit waiver received under Section 301(h), and once awarded would negate any necessary waiver. Achieving secondary treatment standards was originally projected to take six years to complete, with completion expected in December 2012. Because ocean discharge permits are issued for only five years, and the EPA has no authority to waive the discharge limits requirements or grant a longer permit (except in accordance with Sec. 301(h)), the District decided to voluntarily seek a consent decree concurrently with the issuance of the new ocean discharge permit. This negotiated consent decree (the “Consent Decree”) approves the schedule and decrees that no penalties will be imposed for discharges that exceed the secondary treatment limits during the period of construction. The Consent Decree was signed by the District, the EPA and the RWQCB and filed with the U.S. District Court on November 15, 2004. The District is in compliance with the decree and has successfully completed four of the seven milestones within the specified deadlines required by the decree. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (“AQMD”) is the regional governmental agency charged with implementing the Federal Clean Air Act. AQMD permits are required before a sewage treatment improvement project can be constructed. Such permits are project specific and contain construction process requirements, required equipment and standards for predicted air quality. After construction is completed, the AQMD issues an operation permit. These permits are also project specific and contain air quality standards and other appropriate operational guidelines. Most of the District’s facilities are enclosed in order to trap emissions, which are cleaned by air scrubbers that remove odors. In addition, the District has implemented an air quality risk reduction program which includes a 20-year plan to improve treatment plant operations and reduce industrial toxic pollutants. The District currently has all necessary AQMD permits to operate the Wastewater System. Capital Improvement Program The Master Plan. The District’s 1989 master plan consisted of a 30-year plan of action for managing wastewater activities to the year 2020, entitled “2020 Vision, Action Plan for Wastewater Management and Environmental Protection 1990-2020” (the “Master Plan”). The Master Plan integrated research facilities planning, environmental analysis, toxic control, water conservation and reclamation, sludge reuse, other wastewater programs and financial planning into a single unified approach. In connection with the preparation of the Master Plan, an in-depth land use study was performed, resulting in the creation of a uniform land use classification system and a map of the District’s service area. Land use designations and unit flow factors were used to project wastewater flows in the District’s trunk sewers for then present conditions, through the year 2020. These flows were included in a computer model of the District’s Wastewater System which identified future sewer capacity improvements. A thirty-year capital improvement program was developed to implement the required sewer capacity improvements. This land use study included the collection and compilation of the latest available land use plans, reports, maps and studies from the cities within the District and the County, and interviews with the planning directors or key staff within the District. Land use planning within the District’s service area is the responsibility of the County for unincorporated areas and cities for areas within their boundaries. The California Coastal Commission has some land use authority within the District’s coastal areas. The Strategic Plan. In October 1999, the District updated the Master Plan with a strategic plan (the “Strategic Plan”). The Strategic Plan updated the planning process set forth in the Master Plan through the year 2020 and defined the District’s goals, responsibilities, and requirements over the then following twenty years, including projections through the assumed “build-out” of the District’s service area to the year 2050. In 85240462.7 21 addition to updating the population and flow assumptions, the Strategic Plan provided for an operations and financial plan, including a review of the collection, treatment and disposal facilities, and the District’s ocean outfalls. Studies on a preferred level of wastewater treatment and in-sourcing of the ocean monitoring program were prepared and incorporated in the Strategic Plan. Water and air regulatory agencies require that all wastewater facilities be designed to meet the needs of anticipated growth and provide a reasonable reserve capacity. With the adoption of the Strategic Plan, the District’s planning process met these requirements by shifting its approach for the development of master plans from a “size and build” approach to a broad-based, multi-agency cooperative evaluation process. Many of the assumptions used to develop the Strategic Plan, such as inflation, the projected service population, the level of building activity, and the volume of wastewater treated, were quite different from what was assumed ten years earlier under the Master Plan. Critical factors such as population growth, new construction, the volume of wastewater delivered to the plants and viable water conservation and reclamation programs were reevaluated. Interim Strategic Plan. In June 2002, an Interim Strategic Plan Update (the “Interim Strategic Plan”) was completed to further update and revise many of the assumptions used to develop the District’s previous planning documents, including population and land-use projections, the level of building activity in the District’s service area and the volume of wastewater to be treated. The Interim Strategic Plan also provides for an operations and financial plan including a review of the District’s collection, treatment and disposal facilities, and a study of the District’s ocean outfall system. In addition, potential changes in the regulatory climate for the beneficial reuse of biosolids were also considered. On July 17, 2002, the Board of Directors approved Resolution No. OCSD 02-14, “Establishing the Policy for Level of Treatment of Wastewater Discharged into the Ocean.” This resolution established the District’s policy to treat all wastewater discharges into the ocean to secondary treatment standards thereby providing for continued public safety, marine ecosystem protection, and water reclamation opportunities. To implement this policy, District staff was directed to immediately proceed with the planning, design, and implementation of treatment methods that will allow the agency to meet Clean Water Act secondary treatment standards. The District currently estimates that it will take approximately three remaining years (through December 2012) and total capital improvement costs of $627.1 million to reach secondary treatment discharge standards. In the interim, the District will operate the plants to maximize available secondary treatment and to reduce effluent biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solid discharges below currently allowed limits. The then current 50% secondary portion would increase incrementally as operations change and new facilities are constructed and placed in service. See “Preferred Level of Treatment” below. The District’s planning process for development of the Interim Strategic Plan incorporated an analysis of population growth, dry weather and peak wet weather flows and the maximum use of existing facilities. The population of the District’s service area was projected to grow to 2.7 million by the year 2020. Average flow rates at both treatment plants were projected to increase to 278 mg/d by 2020 (134 mg/d of treatment at Plant No. 1 and 144 mg/d at Plant No. 2), up 32% from the Fiscal Year 2008-09 flow. In combination with the Interim Strategic Plan, the District developed its current Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”). The District expects to meet future demands on the Wastewater System through the CIP. This program has been developed to satisfy anticipated regulatory requirements, increased population, additional treatment requirements, conservation, energy and other resource savings considerations, odor control improvements, and air quality protection needs. Through 2020, the District’s CIP is scheduled to accomplish: • Major rehabilitation of the existing headworks, primary treatment, secondary treatment, outfall pumping, and solids handling facilities at both treatment plants; 85240462.7 22 • Replace and rehabilitate 16 of the District’s outlying pumping stations, and 44 trunk sewer improvement projects; • Reduce fence line odor to levels that do not generate odor complaints; • Disinfect the District’s ocean discharge to reduce bacterial levels below State bathing standards; • Reclaim 70 mg/d of the District’s effluent, or nearly one-third of the total daily flow (Groundwater Replenishment System); and • Achieve full secondary treatment standards. CIP Validation Study. In preparation of each year’s Budget, the District conducts an annual CIP validation study to ensure that all projects are necessary and that most recent cost estimates are accurate. As identified in the Interim Strategic Plan, and verified through the 2008 CIP Validation Study and Secondary Treatment Review, $627 million of additional capital improvements over the next three years (through December 2012) are needed to reach full secondary standards. The 2009 CIP Validation Study resulted in proposed revisions to the CIP. The proposed CIP now consists of 123 individual capital projects through Fiscal Year 2020-21 at a total cost of $2.52 billion, approximately $1.2 billion of which has been spent to date. The bulk of construction is scheduled during the next four years, with average annual expenditures of $200 million. Implementation of full secondary treatment standards is scheduled to be completed on or before December 31, 2012. A summary of total estimated capital costs for the proposed CIP for Fiscal Years 2009-10 through 2020-21 is set forth in Table 5 below. Table 5 Capital Improvement Program – Estimated Costs Fiscal Years 2009-10 through 2020-21 Project Cost Collection System Capacity $ 99,268,450 Collection System Repair, Rehabilitation, Replacement 152,277,450 Treatment Plant Capacity 20,593,750 Additional Secondary Treatment 331,685,000 Groundwater Replenishment System, Phase 1 537,000 Improved Treatment 164,842,250 Treatment Plant Repair, Rehabilitation, Replacement 489,091,250 Support Facilities 58,115,850 Total Validated Capital Improvement Program $1,316,411,000 ____________________ Source: Orange County Sanitation District. The proposed CIP contemplates expenditures of $259.1 million in Fiscal Year 2009-10. Of this total, the largest cash outlay within the plant facilities category is $65.7 million for a new secondary treatment system at Reclamation Plant No. 1, with a total project cost of $260.3 million. New trickling filters at Treatment Plant No. 2 will require $63.9 million in Fiscal Year 2008-09, with a total project cost of $223.2 million. Another $10.9 million is required for Headworks improvements at Treatment Plant No. 2, with a total project cost of $254.5 million. The proposed CIP contemplates expenditures of $200.4 million in Fiscal Year 2010-11. Of this total, the largest expenditure within the plant facilities category is $32.3 million for the rehabilitation of the digesters at Reclamation Plant No. 1, with a total cost of $60.4 million. The new secondary treatment system at Reclamation Plant No. 1 is expected to require $24.9 million in Fiscal Year 85240462.7 23 2010-11. Another $20.6 million during this period is proposed for new trickling filters at Treatment Plant No. 2. The proposed CIP’s largest collection system project for Fiscal Year 2009-10 is $16.3 million for the Newport Trunk Sewer and Force Mains project. For Fiscal Year 2010-11, the three largest projects include $15.3 million for replacement of the Rocky Point Pump Station, $14.7 million for replacement of the Bitter Point Pump Station and $9.9 million for the Rehabilitation of Magnolia Trunk Sewer project. The total budgets for these three projects are $30.9 million, $31.9 million and $27.9 million, respectively. Groundwater Replenishment System The District has taken a multi-jurisdictional approach to planning for capital facilities because many of the methods for reducing or managing flows involve other jurisdictions. One such project is the Groundwater Replenishment System (“GWRS”). In March 2001, the District entered into an agreement with the OCWD to design and construct Phase 1 of the GWRS. The cost of this Phase is to be paid equally (50% shares) by each agency. The GWRS is a joint effort by the two agencies to provide reclaimed water for replenishment of the Orange County Groundwater Basin and to augment the seawater intrusion barrier. The GWRS is planned for phased expansions. Phase 1 recently commenced and once it becomes fully operational Phase 1 is expected to produce approximately 72,000 acre-feet per year of recycled water. Future phases will be funded solely by OCWD and could expand capacity up to 145,600 acre-feet per year. With the completion of Phase 1, the GWRS has the capacity to divert up to 100 mg/d of flow from the District’s ocean discharge. As of June 30, 2009, the total estimated cost of GWRS Phase 1 was $496.8 million. Of this amount, approximately $90.0 million has been reimbursed through grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the State Water Resources Control Board and others. The District’s estimated share of this project is 50 percent, or $248.4 million, less 50 percent of all grant revenues received to support the project. Total District cash outlay for this project totaled $247.9 million through June 30, 2009 as the District was credited with $40.04 million in grant revenues received through June 30, 2009 by OCWD. As noted above, Phase 1 of the GWRS has commenced operations and the GWRS will require a cash outlay of $0.5 million in Fiscal Year 2009-10 to complete construction, commissioning and contract close-out retention payments. Preferred Level of Treatment In July 2002, the Board of Directors approved a change from the existing level of treatment, a blend of 50% advanced primary and 50% secondary treated wastewater, to full secondary treatment standards. The reasoning behind the decision to move to full secondary standards included (1) the possibility (no matter how remote) that bacteria from the ocean outfall may at times reach the shoreline, (2) upgraded treatment will aid additional water reclamation with the Orange County Water District, and (3) and the clearly stated public preference for upgrading wastewater treatment at the time. In an effort to eliminate most bacteria from being released from the ocean outfall, in 2002 the District began to use chlorine bleach to disinfect the effluent and then apply sodium bisulfate to remove remaining chlorine prior to releasing the treated wastewater to the ocean. The District continues to take measures to limit the chlorine residual to a very low level prior to release. This mode of disinfection is expected to continue while the District studies, designs and constructs permanent facilities, and considers alternate disinfection technologies. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2006-07, the addition of disinfection treatment required an annual outlay of $7.2 million for additional chemicals from the operating budget of the District. Following determination by the Board of Directors in July 2002 to implement full secondary standards, staff prepared the Secondary Treatment NPDES Permit Application that was required to be submitted to the regional office of EPA and the RWQCB in December 2002. An NPDES permit has been 85240462.7 24 issued to the District and the District is currently operating under the Consent Decree. See “THE DISTRICT – Permits, Licenses and Other Regulations.” Currently, the District estimates that it will take approximately three more years and require approximately $331.7 million to complete the additional secondary treatment capacity project. In addition, operating costs will increase by approximately $[7.2] million annually upon completion of facilities necessary to meet secondary treatment standards. In the interim, the District will operate the plants to maximize available secondary treatment and to reduce effluent biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solid discharges below those currently allowed limits. The District expects its secondary treatment capacity to increase incrementally each year as operations change and new facilities are constructed and placed in service. Biosolids Management The District produces approximately 650 tons per day (tpd) of digested and dewatered biosolids. By 2012, when new secondary treatment processes are expected to be fully operational, the District’s biosolids production is projected to increase to 830 tpd, though with the planned installation of centrifuges, such production is expected to decrease to 750 tpd in 2014 and 700 tpd in 2016. The District relies on the following technologies and locations for the management of its biosolids: land application of biosolids in Arizona, land, composting to high-grade soil amendment in Kern County and La Paz County, Arizona, conversion to a renewable coal substitute e-fuel in Rialto, California, and landfilling of biosolids in Yuma County, Arizona. Counties throughout California and Arizona have developed, or are in the process of developing, ordinances that severely restrict or ban the land application of biosolids. In June 2006, Kern County voters approved an anti-sludge initiative that bans the land application of biosolids. It has become clear that certain land application options currently available to the District are anticipated to be eliminated in the near future due to these developments. As of February 2009, the District is no longer engaged in land application of biosolids in Kern County. The District, and most of California’s wastewater agencies, is working to develop sustainable products and management locations for its biosolids. The dynamic regulatory issues, land application ordinances and bans, and public perception challenges prompted the District, with the help of CH2MHill, to develop a Long-Range Biosolids Management Plan (“LRBMP”). This LRBMP was approved by the Board in December 2003. The goal of the LRBMP was to develop a sustainable, reliable, and economical program for long-range biosolids management providing environmentally sound practices that meet the stringent federal, state, and local regulatory requirements. The LRBMP recommendations included new in-plant technologies to reduce the volume of biosolids, explore the production of high-grade biosolids products, and move into the energy and fuel production and compost markets. As a result of the LRBMP recommendations, the existing Synagro biosolids management contract was amended in April 2004 to have 250 tons per day of the District’s biosolids composted at Synagro’s South Kern Compost Manufacturing Facility. This composting facility is receiving its full allocation of contracted biosolids. In May 2006, the District entered into a contract with EnerTech Environmental, Inc. to convert 225 tons of biosolids per day to a renewable fuel at EnerTech’s proposed facility in Rialto, California. The EnerTech solution is a relatively new, patented heat treatment process that increases the ability to dewater biosolids in order to maximize the efficiency of the production of fuel. By decreasing the moisture content of biosolids prior to drying, a smaller dryer is needed, thus reducing capital and energy consumption. The fuel product is being recycled and reused, under agreements with area cement kilns and other fuel users. Residual ash from the fuel combustion becomes part of the cement product, resulting in no residual waste product liability. The EnerTech facility began receiving biosolids from the District in November 2008. Currently, the balance of the biosolids not managed by either Synagro or EnerTech are being managed by Tule Ranch pursuant to a five-year contract by either land application or landfill disposal in Arizona. The 85240462.7 25 District anticipates releasing a Request for Proposals for long-term biosolids management for the remainder of the biosolids not managed via existing long-term contracts by either Synagro or EnerTech by June 2010. As a result of the transition to biosolids-based compost and energy products the cost to the District for biosolids management has increased. The Fiscal Year 2007-08 management budget for biosolids was $14.3 million. The Fiscal Year 2008-09 management budget for biosolids was $19.89 million. The actual cost of biosolids management in Fiscal Year 2007-08 and Fiscal Year 2008-09 was $13.5 million and $16.65 million, respectively. The Fiscal Year 2009-10 biosolids management budget is $20.58 million. Urban Runoff In June 2002, legislation was passed that allows the District’s charter to include permissive language authorizing the diversion and management of dry weather urban runoff flows. This legislation allows the District to acquire, construct, operate, maintain, and furnish facilities for the diversion of urban runoff from drainage courses within the District, the treatment of the urban runoff, the return of the water to the drainage courses, or the beneficial use of the water. The legislation allows the District to divert up to 10 million gallons a day and consider more extensive options, such as building artificial wetlands that would naturally filter the runoff, or building a runoff treatment plant, similar to a $9.5 million facility built in Santa Monica that recycles 500,000 gallons of runoff a day. The County’s beaches have been affected by storm water and urban runoff pollution. As a result, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board has taken direct action to control discharge of pollutants to tributaries and recreational water bodies in the County by issuing a Storm Water Permit to the County and certain cities within the County. To comply with the provisions of the permit, the County and such cities have increased resources to fund municipal storm water/urban runoff management and treatment services. Integrated Emergency Response Program In recognition of the potential damage which could occur in the event of a major earthquake, flood, or other disaster, the District implemented an Integrated Emergency Response Program (the “IERP”) in 1979. The IERP is a two-volume plan which contains policies, plans and procedures preparing for, and responding to, emergencies. The District also analyzed disaster preparedness issues and policies within the Master Plan, and within a 1994 document titled Fault Rupture Hazard Investigation – Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2. According to the Master Plan, earthquakes are considered to be the most potentially devastating natural disaster events which confront the District. The disaster preparedness plan included in the Master Plan reviewed two possible major earthquake scenarios: an 8.3 Richter magnitude (“M”) earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault system and an M 7.0 earthquake on the Newport-Inglewood fault zone, which includes Plant No. 2. An M 8.3 earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault, while on the whole more destructive than the M 7.0 Newport-Inglewood fault, would probably result in less damage to the District’s service area due to the distance of the fault from most of the service area. However, the 1989 Master Plan stated that damage from such a major earthquake on the San Andreas fault would be extensive. Also, the Master Plan indicated that an M 7.0 earthquake on the Newport-Inglewood fault within five miles of the District’s sewerage facilities could cause major destruction to those facilities. The disaster preparedness plan in the Master Plan indicated that it would not be economically feasible to upgrade all of the existing sanitary sewerage facilities to survive an earthquake of this magnitude along the Newport-Inglewood fault. The IERP outlines the policies and employee actions to be taken before, during and after an earthquake, earthquake response guidelines and damage assessment procedures. The Master Plan analyzed the vulnerability of the sanitary sewerage facilities and operations of the District and planned a risk reduction program wherein the vulnerability of many of the District’s sanitary sewerage facilities to an earthquake could be reduced by recommended retrofit construction measures. The 85240462.7 26 Master Plan also recommended that designs of existing major structures which were constructed prior to development of current seismic design standards be reviewed and the structures strengthened, if necessary. Since the 1989 Master Plan and the 1994 Report, the District has completed retrofitting where deemed appropriate. Pursuant to the Master Plan, all recent and future projects have been, and will be, designed to the same high earthquake code standards as set for other essential services, such as hospitals and fire stations. Many of the older buildings analyzed in the Master Plan have been replaced by structures built after 1989. The Army Corps of Engineers’ “All-River Plan” has mitigated any future flooding of the Santa Ana River system and potential threats to the District’s Wastewater System. Also, both Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 are surrounded by three-foot to six-foot high walls, built to federal standards. The disaster preparedness plan in the Strategic Plan investigates the damage potential posed by coastal flooding, tsunamis (large ocean waves generated by seismic activity) and windstorms. However, based on available information, the District does not believe that any such events would have a material adverse impact on the Wastewater System. The Strategic Plan also makes recommendations regarding fire protection of the Wastewater System. Most of the structures at Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 are constructed of fire-resistant materials. The IERP describes the procedures needed to respond to a possible disaster. For more information regarding emergency response policies, the disaster preparedness plan described in the Strategic Plan and the IERP can be reviewed at the District’s office. Five-Year Strategic Planning In November 2007, the Board of Directors adopted a new comprehensive five-year strategic plan (the “Five-Year Plan”) to drive the District’s efforts and engage the organization to envision service and operations for the next five years. In November 2008, the Five-Year Plan was updated to continue looking at a five-year horizon. Following a similar process that was used in the original November 2007 plan, the General Manager's Office initiated the planning effort with the District’s Executive Management Team, then solicited input and ideas from managers and supervisors. In October 2008, the staff-generated ideas were presented to the Board of Directors for discussion and deliberation of changes and additions to the Five-Year Plan. Driven by the District’s mission, vision and core values, the updated Five-Year Plan continues the District’s efforts to meet the sanitation, health, and safety needs of its more than 2.5 million customers while protecting the environment. In the past year, nearly 30 percent of the goals of the Five-Year Plan were achieved. The Fiscal Year 2009-10 Five-Year Plan presents the following five new goals: • Reaffirming the District’s commitment to expand the Groundwater Replenishment System, including completion of the Steve Anderson Lift Station and studying the potential to include flows from the Santa Ana River Interceptor. • Analyzing whether adding chlorine to disinfect effluent into the ocean is cost-effective in comparison to other alternatives that maintain protection of public health and safety. • Evaluating and promoting the District’s environmental initiatives and seeking additional opportunities to utilize emerging technologies. • Continuing to assess and identify risks to the District, including political and financial risks, and developing mitigation strategies. 85240462.7 27 • Developing a comprehensive human resources strategic plan to connect employees with the overall mission, values, and vision of the organization and preparing employees for future leadership opportunities. DISTRICT REVENUES Sewer Service Charges General. The District has the power to establish fees and charges for services of the Wastewater System. Such fees and charges are established by the District’s Board of Directors and are not subject to review or approval by any other agencies. In Fiscal Year 1997-98, a Rate Advisory Committee (the “RAC”) was established comprised of representatives from industrial, commercial and residential users. The goal of the RAC was to examine the then current rate structure and, if needed, develop recommendations for change. The RAC analyzed the District’s rate structure to determine whether its then current sewer service user fees (now known as “Sewer Service Charges”) were equitable among residential and industrial customers. This review resulted in a proposal to expand the number of non-residential user categories from one to twenty-three and to provide for gradual rate increases in seven of the nine Revenue Areas. The increase in the number of categories provided a more equitable fee structure and also provided for future reductions in single-family residential Sewer Service Charges. The Sewer Service Charges for those categories were based on the average flow and strength of wastewater discharged for each property type and remain currently in use. The Board of Directors establishes the annual sanitary sewer service charges by ordinance. The sanitary sewer service charge ordinances are adopted by a two-thirds vote of the Board of Directors as required under law after conducting a noticed public hearing in compliance with Proposition 218. See “LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES – Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the California Constitution.” In May 2002, the Board of Directors adopted District Ordinance No. OCSD 18 (the “2002 Ordinance”) which became effective on July 1, 2002. The 2002 Ordinance included a single family residential (“SFR”) rate increase, the underlying basis for all sanitary sewer service charges including sanitary sewer rates for multi- family residential units as well as most commercial and industrial properties, of $7.50 per year, or 9.4%, to $87.50 per year. In June 2003, the Board of Directors authorized a Proposition 218 notice on proposed “not to exceed” rate increases for each year over the next five years. Each year thereafter, the Board of Directors has ratified the next year’s actual rate. The District collects Sewer Service Charges from property owners through the semi-annual property tax bill distributed by the County throughout the District, except in Revenue Area No. 14. Pursuant to the IRWD Agreement, the District receives quarterly fee payments from the Irvine Ranch Water District (the “IRWD”) which directly collects fees from customers through a monthly billing procedure in Revenue Area No. 14. The District has covenanted in the Master Agreement to fix, prescribe and collect fees and charges to satisfy certain coverage requirements as further described under “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES – Rate Covenant” herein. Residential and Commercial Sewer Service Charges. Pursuant to the 2002 Ordinance, the District established residential Sewer Service Charges upon a rational basis between the fees charged each customer and the services and facilities provided to each customer of the District, except those located in Revenue Area No. 14. The noticed public hearing held in connection with the 2002 Ordinance considered increases in the amount of the annual charges by of approximately 20% per year for each of the then following five years. In May 2005, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-26 increasing the Fiscal Year 2005-06 single family residential rate, the underlying basis for all sewer service charges, by 31%, from $115.00 to $151.00 for 85240462.7 28 all ratepayers, except those located in Revenue Area No. 14. In June 2007, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-32 increasing the Fiscal Year 2007-08 single family residential rate by 9.8%. On February 27, 2008, the Board of Directors approved increases in its sanitary sewer service charges for all single family and multi-family residential units, and for all commercial properties. The Board increased the single family residential rate, which is the basis for all of the District’s sewer service charges, by 10.5% for Fiscal Year 2008-09, 10% for Fiscal Year 2009-10, 10% for Fiscal Year 2010-11, 9.8% for Fiscal Year 2011- 12 and 9.8% for Fiscal Year 2012-13. Table 6 below sets forth the annual ordinance adoptions following the last Proposition 218 notice and presents a five-year comparison of the Sewer Service Charge rate for single-family residences.

The District charges industrial Sewer Service Charges to customers discharging high-strength or high-volume wastes into the sewer systems. Customers subject to industrial Sewer Service Charges are billed directly by the District. The fee charged to each customer is based on the customer’s sewage volume, the concentration of suspended solids and biochemical oxygen demand. Pursuant to the 2002 Ordinance, rates for each component factor were revised for certain industrial users in order to be consistent with the rates charged to residential users. Total industrial Sewer Service Charges in Fiscal Year 2008-09 were approximately $99 million. Industrial Sewer Service Charges are applied to both operating and capital funds. The Sewer Service Charge increases described above are necessary to meet the District’s cash flow needs arising from the addition of disinfection treatment and other operating requirements. As discussed under the caption “THE DISTRICT – Capital Improvement Program,” the CIP Validation Study in the Spring of 2005 (as further updated in the 2008 CIP Validation Study) developed a capital improvement program to meet secondary treatment standards as quickly as possible while providing for increased flows and rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing facilities. As projected out to Fiscal Year 2020-21 the cash flow needs of the CIP total approximately $2.48 billion, approximately $1 billion of which has been spent to date. The bulk of construction is scheduled during the next six years, with average annual expenditures of approximately $[170] million. 85240462.7 30 Additional Revenues The District has several sources of additional revenue, including property taxes, Capital Facilities Capacity Charges, capacity rights, permit and inspection fees and interest earnings. Property Taxes. The District receives approximately 2.5% of the one percent County ad valorem property tax levy, based on the allocation procedure under State law. Property tax revenues were $44.6 million in Fiscal Year 2002-03, $46.9 million in Fiscal Year 2003-04, $35.8 million in Fiscal Year 2004-05, $40.0 million in Fiscal Year 2005-06, $60.6 million in Fiscal Year 2006-07 and $65.2 million in Fiscal Year 2007- 08. The $11.2 million decrease in property tax revenues from Fiscal Year 2003-04 to Fiscal Year 2004-05 is reflective of the State of California’s then current fiscal crisis and the implementation of the first year of a two- year 40% secured property tax shift away from independent special districts. During the 2004-05 State Budget process, the State Legislature and the Governor enacted Senate Bill 1096 and Assembly Bill 2115, effectively shifting an additional $1.3 billion in local property tax revenues from counties, cities, special districts and redevelopment agencies to schools and community colleges. This shift was effective for Fiscal Year 2004-05 and Fiscal Year 2005-06, resulting in a 40% secured property loss for the District. See “LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES –Proposition 1A.” This 40% reduction for Fiscal Year 2004-05 was somewhat offset by the then existing strength in the real estate market. Total assessed valuations increased in the 2005- 06 Fiscal Year by 10.3% over the 2004-05 Fiscal Year, and the full value of these increases was received on all non-secured property tax distributions. The District received its full allotment of property tax revenues (no State property tax shift) of $65.2 million in Fiscal Year 2007-08 and $66.4 million in Fiscal Year 2008-09. The District expects its property tax receipts to be approximately $65.2 million in Fiscal Year 2009-10. See Table 15 below. The District currently projects its property tax receipts to remain approximately level through Fiscal Year 2012-13. The apportionment of the ad valorem tax is pursuant to a revenue program adopted by the District in April 1979 to comply with EPA and RWQCB mandates, legal and contractual requirements and Board of Directors policy. Capital Facilities Capacity Charges. Capital Facilities Capacity Charges (formerly known as connection fees) are one-time fees with two components, paid at the time property is developed and connected to the Wastewater System. The fees are imposed by the District pursuant to Section 5471 of the California Health and Safety Code and are levied to pay a portion of the District’s capital costs and for access to capacity in the Wastewater System. Currently, the District has Capital Facilities Capacity Charges of $4,517 per residential unit (three-bedroom); however, under the current industrial use ordinance, additional Capital Facilities Capacity Charges can be imposed on industrial users who place larger than average demand on the Wastewater System. Member cities and sanitary districts collect Capital Facilities Capacity Charges for the District when building permits are issued. Capital Facilities Capacity Charges are reviewed annually to reflect the changes in the value of the Wastewater System to which a new customer is connecting. On December 15, 1999, the Board of Directors approved District Ordinance No. OCSD 99-11 (the “1999 Ordinance”) which established a comprehensive Capital Facilities Capacity Charge. The 1999 Ordinance, effective as of January 1, 2000, renamed connection fees as Capital Facilities Capacity Charges and provided a more equitable schedule of fees among industrial, commercial and residential users. Pursuant to the 1999 Ordinance, Capital Facilities Capacity Charges were revised for high demand industrial users in five incremental increases from 1999 through 2001. For a summary of historical and projected revenues derived from Capital Facilities Capacity Charges, see Table 14 and Table 15 below. Pursuant to an agreement with the IRWD, the IRWD is not required to pay Capital Facilities Capacity Charges and in exchange, the IRWD provides funding to the District for the construction costs of certain wastewater collection, transmission, treatment and disposal facilities to be used by the IRWD and is obligated to make certain payments to the District for certain services arising from the Wastewater System (including any standby or availability charges). 85240462.7 31 Sale of Capacity. The District has entered into agreements with the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (“SAWPA”) whereby wastewater from Upper Santa Ana River Basin dischargers can be transported through the District’s Santa Ana River Interceptor to the District’s wastewater treatment facilities. This program was developed in the early 1970’s. The agreements establish control mechanisms regarding the quality of wastes deposited into the Wastewater System. At the present time, SAWPA has purchased and paid for 30 mg/d of maximum regulated flow capacity rights in the District’s Santa Ana River Interceptor and 17 mg/d of monthly average flow capacity in the District’s wastewater treatment plants. Additional treatment plant capacity can be purchased in increments at the District’s current replacement cost. The Santa Ana River Interceptor Line (“SARI”) was built in the Chino Basin Preserve Area in order to remove dairy farm wastes and accommodate future urban development. Salts in the washwater generated from the cleaning of cows and milking equipment were leaching into the groundwater in the Chino Basin and the SARI was built to divert the washwater from this area. However, due to the nature of the Chino Basin Preserve, the development of any infrastructure in the area to accommodate the SARI was limited. The current SARI multi-phase project is designed to connect several dairies to the SARI. Future expansions of this project could include connecting other dairies and other waste streams with the SARI line. See “THE DISTRICT – Capital Improvement Program” herein. Wastewater Treatment History The average yearly influent flow to the District has remained relatively stable for the preceding four years. The wastewater flow for Fiscal Year 2005-06 was 235 mg/d, for Fiscal Year 2006-07 was 229 mg/d, for Fiscal Year 2007-08 was 221 mg/d and for Fiscal Year 2008-09 was 211 mg/d. The highest flow rate experienced was during El Niño storm periods. Peak flows of 500 mg/d were recorded in December 1997 and February 1998. There were no sewer failures or overflows during these events. Customers The historical number of customers served by the District for the Fiscal Years 2004-05 through 2008- 09 and the projected number of customers served by the District for the Fiscal Years 2009-10 through 2013-14, identified in Equivalent Dwelling Units (“EDUs”), are set forth in Table 8 below. As discussed below, sewer service charges are based on the expected amount of wastewater flow for a single family dwelling. This base amount is considered the “equivalent dwelling unit.” The EDUs set forth in Tables 8 and 9 below equate to total Sewer Service Charge levies.

Assessed Valuation The assessed valuation of property in the County is established by the County Assessor, except for public utility property which is assessed by the State Board of Equalization. Due to changes in assessment required under State Constitution Article XIIIA, the County assessment roll no longer purports to be proportional to market value. See “LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES” herein. Generally, property can be reappraised to market value only upon a change in ownership or completion of new construction. The assessed value of property that has not incurred a change of ownership or new construction must be adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a rate not to exceed 2% per year based on the State consumer price index. In the event of declining property value caused by substantial damage, destruction, economic or other factors, the assessed value must be reduced temporarily to reflect market value. For the definition of full cash value and more information on property tax limitations and adjustments, see “LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES” herein. The County Assessor determines and enrolls a value for each parcel of taxable real property in the County every year. The value review may result in a reduction in value. Taxpayers in the County also may appeal the determination of the County Assessor with respect to the assessed value of their property. Table 11 below shows a five-year history of assessed valuations in the District since Fiscal Year 2005- 06. 85240462.7 34 Table 11 Assessed Valuations of Property in the District Fiscal Years 2005-06 through 2009-10 ($ in Billions) Fiscal Year Value % Change 2005-06 $241.8 10.30% 2006-07 270.7 11.93 2007-08 292.7 8.13 2008-09 307.6 5.09 2009-10 305.2 (0.98) ____________________ Source: County of Orange Auditor-Controller. Prior to 2006, the housing market in Southern California experienced significant price appreciation and accelerated demand. During this period, many homebuyers financed the purchase of their new homes using non-conventional loans. Such loans were made with little or no down payment and included adjustable interest rates subject to being reset at higher rates on a specified date or upon the occurrence of specified conditions. In addition, many of these loans allow the borrower to pay interest only for an initial period, in some cases up to ten years. Starting in 2006, housing developers, appraisers and real estate consultants began to report weakening of prices for single-family homes. There has been tightening of underwriting criteria for mortgage loans such that most lenders now require down payments, stricter verification, higher income to loan ratios, higher credit ratios or some combination of such factors. These factors have contributed to a decrease in home sales as prospective purchasers are unable to qualify for loans. Declining home sales in some areas of Southern California have resulted in a decrease in home prices. As home values decline, homebuyers may not be able to obtain replacement financing because the outstanding loan balances exceed the value of their homes. Due to the limiting effect of Proposition 13 on assessed valuations, declines in the market value of property in the County will not necessarily result in decreased property tax revenue in the near term. In fact, assessed valuations of property in the District for Fiscal Year 2008-09 have increased by $14.9 billion, or 5.09%, over Fiscal Year 2007-08 valuations. For Fiscal Year 2009-10, however, the County reduced assessed valuations by 0.98% as a result of further decreases in market value, leading to decreased property tax collections. Assessed valuations tend to lag economic activity. Given the severity of the current recession, the sharp decline in the market value of real estate, and the complexity of the methodology by which property is assessed, the District cannot accurately forecast the long-term impact of the current recession on assessed valuations and property tax receipts. Tax Levies and Delinquencies Property taxes are based on assessed valuation which is determined as described under “DISTRICT REVENUES – Assessed Valuation” herein. In accordance with the California Revenue and Taxation Code, the County tax collector collects secured tax levies for each Fiscal Year. Property taxes on the secured roll are due in two installments, on November 1 and February 1. The District currently participates in the County’s Teeter Plan under which the District receives annually 100% of the secured property tax levies and Sewer Service Charges to which it otherwise is entitled, regardless of whether the County has actually collected the levies. This alternative method provides for funding each taxing entity included in the Teeter Plan with its total secured property taxes during the year the taxes are levied, including any amount uncollected at fiscal year end. Under this plan, the District’s general fund receives the full amount of secured property taxes levied each year on its behalf and, for so long as such plan remains in effect, the participating entities, such as the District, no longer experience delinquent taxes. The County’s general fund is the designated recipient of future collections of penalties and interest on all delinquent taxes collected on behalf of participants in this alternative 85240462.7 35 method of apportionment. In recent years, the County has experienced delinquencies of Sewer Service Charges in the District of approximately 2%. Table 12 below presents a five-year history of the District’s ad valorem total property tax and Sewer Service Charge levies.

Budgetary Process The District’s operating fund budget relies on revenues from property taxes and Sewer Service Charges, both of which are collected on the property tax bill. See “DISTRICT REVENUES — Sewer Service Charges” and “ — Additional Revenues.” The District receives tax revenues from the County in eight allocations, with the largest receipts in December and April. The District operates on a Fiscal Year beginning each July 1. The operating fund budgets include funds to cover the dry period of each tax year, i.e., the period from the beginning of the Fiscal Year until the first taxes are received. The dry-period requirement is budgeted at one-half of the annual operating fund budgeted expenditures. The District uses the accrual method of accounting in its budgets. The District has conformed to its budgets for the last five fiscal years and is conforming to its budget for the current fiscal year. The District’s annual budget preparation process begins in January of each year and concludes in June upon its adoption. The General Manager reviews the final operating budgets and then distributes them to the Directors and District Committees for consideration. The Board of Directors then adopts the proposed annual budgets, with any revisions, in June of each year. Budgetary control is exercised at the individual Department level and administrative policies provide guidelines on budget transfers and the authorization necessary to implement transfers. A budget adjustment is a transfer which does not change the total appropriated amount and does not require Board of Directors action. Approval may be granted by the General Manager or the Department Head in certain circumstances. Department Heads have the discretion to reapportion funds between certain line items within a division but may not exceed total appropriated amounts for each department. They may also transfer staff across divisional lines. The General Manager and Board of Directors must approve additional capital outlay items. A budget amendment is an adjustment to the total appropriated amount which was not included in the original budget. These supplemental appropriations require formal action by the Board of Directors. Prior year reserves or fund balances may be appropriated to fund items not previously included in the adopted budget. Reserves or fund balances exceeding minimum amounts required by fiscal policies may be appropriated if it is determined to be in the best interest of the District. Directors may also appropriate reserves in case of emergencies or unusual circumstances. 85240462.7 36 Reserves The District has an established reserve policy with eight separate categories for its reserve funds. Collectively, these individual reserve requirements total over $475 million for each year of the current ten-year cash flow forecast. Financial Management staff and the Board of Directors have concluded that given the nature of the likely events that may cause a withdrawal from the District’s reserves and the degree of overlap among reserve categories, the total amount reserved need not equal the sum of each separate reserve category. As a result, the District adjusted the application of its reserve policy, leading to a reduction of approximately 7% of the accumulated total, or $34 million. The following table sets forth actual reserves at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, and projected reserves at June 30, 2010, for each fund. Reserve levels are calculated in accordance with the District’s reserve policy. Table 13 Actual and Projected Reserves June 30, 2008 through 2010 (In Millions) June 30, 2008 June 30, 2009 June 30, 2010(1) Cash Flow Requirements Reserve — Operating Expenses $ 70 $ 73 78 Certificates of Participation Payments 65 84 92 Operating Contingencies Reserve 14 15 16 Capital Improvement Program Reserve 165 83 87 Catastrophe and Self Insurance 57 58 57 Capital Replacement and Refurbishment 54 55 56 Debt Service Required Reserves 108 133(2) 129 Overlapping Reserve Adjustment - (34) (38) Total $533 $534 $477 ____________________ (1) Projected. (2) Not available to pay the Notes. Source: Orange County Sanitation District. Other than amounts in Debt Service Required Reserves, all of the categories of District reserve funds described above are available to pay principal of and interest on the Notes if Net Revenues are insufficient and the Notes are not refinanced with Future Obligations. The Cash Flow Requirements Reserve was established to fund operation, maintenance and certificates of participation debt service expenses for the first half of the fiscal year, prior to the receipt of the first installment of the property tax allocation and sewer service user fees which are collected as a separate line item on the property tax bill. The level of this reserve is established as the sum of an amount equal to six months operations and maintenance expense and the total of certificates of participation debt service expenses due in the subsequent fiscal year. The Operating Contingencies Reserve was established to provide for non-recurring expenditures that were not anticipated when the annual budget and Sewer Service Charges were adopted. The level of this reserve is equal to 10% of the District’s annual operating budget. The Capital Improvement Program Reserve was established to fund annual increments of the Capital Improvement Program with a target level at one-half of the average annual Capital Improvement Program through the year 2020. Levels higher and lower than the target can be expected while the long-term financing and capital improvement programs are being finalized. The Catastrophic Loss, or Self-Insurance Reserve is established for property damage including fire, flood and earthquake, general liability and workers’ compensation. The level of reserve in this fund is maintained at a level to fund the District’s non-reimbursed costs which are estimated to be $57 million. The Capital Replacement and Refurbishment Reserve was established to provide 30% of the funding to replace or refurbish the current collection, treatment and disposal facilities. The current replacement value of these facilities is estimated to be approximately $6.26 billion. The initial reserve level for this fund was established 85240462.7 37 at $50 million and is augmented by interest earnings and a portion of the annual Sewer Service Charges. Debt Service Required Reserves (or Obligation Reserve Funds as defined in the Master Agreement) are controlled by a trustee pursuant to the provisions of certificates of participation issues and are not available for the general needs of the District. The Rate Stabilization Reserve accumulates all available funds which exceed the targets for all other reserves. The Rate Stabilization Reserve is a separate fund from the Rate Stabilization Account established under the Trust Agreement. These funds are applied to future years’ needs and must be maintained at specified levels. There is currently no established target for this reserve and, because the reserves of all other funds have not been exceeded, the reserve level for this reserve fund is zero for Fiscal Years 2005-06 through 2008-09.

These projections assume the number of projects and scheduled build out set forth in the CIP Validation Study, and reflect Board-approved annual increases in sewer service rates of 10.5%, 10%, 10%, 9.8% and 9.8% over this five-year period. Principal expenditure components of these projections are derived from the CIP Validation Study, which identified 114 large capital projects managed by the Engineering Department through 2020-21 at a total cost of $2.48 billion, and currently projected to include over $1.1 billion in the next five years. The District’s CIP cash flow budget for Fiscal Year 2008-09 is $373.7 million, an increase of $94.4 million from the prior year actual total outlay. This CIP budget finances joint works treatment and disposal system improvement projects, and collection system improvement projects. This increase is attributable to the additional infrastructure needs identified in the CIP Validation Study. The preparation of such projections was based upon certain assumptions and certain forecasts with respect to conditions that may occur in the future. While the District believes that these assumptions and forecasts are reasonable for the purposes of the projected selected operating data, it makes no representations that they will in fact occur. To the extent that actual future conditions differ from those assumed herein, the data will vary.

The District’s Fiscal Year 2009-10 budget includes $259.1 million in capital improvement outlays as the District moves towards reaching secondary treatment standards by the target date of December 31, 2012, as specified by the Board of Directors’ July 2002 resolution and in keeping with the terms and conditions of its ocean discharge permit and related Consent Decree. The Fiscal Year 2009-10 operations budget for the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater is $____ million, an $____ million [increase] from the prior year budget of $148.8 million. This [increase is primarily attributable to the proposed increase in personnel costs due mostly to the current capital improvement program, totaling $2.48 billion. Personnel costs increased $____ million, or ____%. The contractual services budget increased $____ million, or ____%. The major component of this category is biosolids removal and transport costs. Contracts have been executed with firms for agricultural reuse of residual solids. The utility budget decreased by $____ million, or ____%, primarily as a result of utility rates not increasing as much as anticipated. Electricity is the largest utility cost incurred by the District and is used to run the plant processes. The Fiscal Year 2009-10 budget reflects an increase in imported electricity because new government regulations on air emission limits has forced a reduction in electrical power production at the District’s central generation facilities, a process that converts methane gas into electricity. The Fiscal Year 2009-10 CIP cash flow budget was approved at $259.1 million a decrease of $114.6 million from the prior year actual total outlay. In preparation for the Fiscal Year 2006-07 and 2007-08 budgets, the Board of Directors established a CIP Oversight Committee to review the CIP program and ensure that the scope of the projects was appropriate and that the cost estimates were accurate, and to gain an understanding of the impact from the CIP to the current rate structure. The Fiscal Year 2009-10 CIP includes 86 large capital projects and 28 special projects with a projected 15-year cash outlay of $1.47 billion. Over this time period, the CIP will accomplish: • Rehabilitation of the existing headworks, primary treatment, secondary treatment, outfall pumping, and solids handling facilities at both treatment plants; • Replacement and rehabilitation of nine of the District’s outlying pumping stations, and rehabilitation and upgrade of 29 trunk sewer improvement projects; • Optimization of the production of “power” and “biosolids” at each of the treatment plants; • Reclamation of 70 mg/d of the District’s effluent, or nearly one-third of the total daily flow through the Groundwater Replenishment System; and • Secondary treatment standards by December 2012. The 2008 CIP Validation Study reaffirmed the need for further rate increases in future years. Based on the results of the CIP Validation Study and the Five-Year Plan, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-35 which increased the sanitary sewer service charges by approximately 10% each year for the five years beginning in Fiscal Year 2008-09. These rate increases were approved by a vote of two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors and are not subject to reaffirmation in any of the future fiscal years covered by this five-year period. This action increased the single family residence user rate, the basis for all sewer user fee rates, from $201 to $221 in Fiscal Year 2009-10. See “DISTRICT REVENUES – Sewer Service Charges.” 85240462.7 41 Investment of District Funds State statutes authorize the District to invest in obligations of the United States Government, state and local governmental agencies, negotiable certificates of deposits, bankers acceptances, commercial paper, reverse repurchase agreements and a variety of other investment instruments which are allowable under California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. All District funds, except for Obligation Reserve Funds controlled by a bank trustee pursuant to the provisions of Existing Senior Obligations, are managed by an external money manager, Pacific Investment Management Company (“PIMCO”). Mellon Trust (“Mellon Trust”) serves as the District’s independent custodian bank for its investment program. Callan Associates (“Callan”) serves as the District’s independent advisor. At June 30, 2009, the District’s externally managed fund consisted of a short-term investment portfolio of $54.4 million with an average maturity of 73 days, and a long-term investment portfolio of $356.5 with average maturities of 3.6 years. Investments consist of United States government securities, corporate bonds and commercial paper. The District’s portfolio contains no structured investment vehicles (“SIVs”) or reverse repurchase agreements. Deposits in banks are maintained in financial institutions which provide deposit protection on the bank balance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The California Government Code requires State banks and savings and loans to secure local government deposits by pledging government securities equal to 110% of the deposits or by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes equal to 150% of the deposits. The District’s Investment Policy requires that the District invest public funds in a manner which ensures the safety and preservation of capital while meeting reasonable anticipated operating expenditure needs, achieving a reasonable rate of return and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds. The primary objectives, in order, of the District’s investment activities are safety, liquidity and return on investment. FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS Existing Indebtedness Currently, the District has Senior Obligations Outstanding payable on a parity with the Installment Payment under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The table below describes the District’s outstanding certificates of participation as of December 1, 2009. The payment obligations in connection with each series of these certificates constitute Senior Obligations, subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and shall be afforded all of the benefits, interests and security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement.

Variable Rate Obligations In August 2000, the District caused the execution and delivery of the Orange County Sanitation District Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series 2000-A (the “2000-A Certificates”) and the Orange County Sanitation District Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series 2000-B (the “2000-B Certificates” and, together with the 2000-A Certificates, the “2000 Certificates”) in the original aggregate principal amount of $218,600,000, of which $194,900,000 will be outstanding as of December 1, 2009. In connection with the execution and delivery of the 2000 Certificates, the District entered into an installment purchase agreement (the “2000 Installment Purchase Agreement”) and a Standby Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the “2000 Standby Agreement”), by and among the District, the Trustee and Dexia Crédit Local, acting through its New York Agency. The 2000 Standby Agreement currently expires on August 31, 2010. The 2000 Standby Agreement constitutes a Credit Facility Agreement and a Credit Facility under the Master Indenture. The obligation of the District to repay amounts drawn on or paid under the 2000 Standby Agreement, to pay interest on such amounts and to pay any other amounts in connection with such draw or payment constitutes a Reimbursement Obligation, each with respect to a Senior Obligation. Anticipated Financings From time to time the District expects to incur other obligations to finance and refinance portions of the CIP. Over the next four years, the District expects to incur further Additional Senior Obligations in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $410 million.

LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND REVENUES Article XIIIA of the California Constitution On June 6, 1978, California voters approved Proposition 13 (“Proposition 13”), which added Article XIIIA to the State Constitution (“Article XIIIA”). Article XIIIA, as amended, limits the amount of any ad valorem tax on real property to one percent of the full cash value thereof, except that additional ad valorem taxes may be levied to pay debt service on (i) indebtedness approved by the voters prior to July 1, 1978, (ii) (as a result of an amendment to Article XIIIA approved by State voters on June 3, 1986) on bonded indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real property which has been approved on or after July 1, 1978 by two- third of the voters on such indebtedness, and (iii) bonded indebtedness incurred by a school district or community college district for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or replacement of school facilities or the acquisition or lease of real property for school facilities, approved by 55% of the voters of the district, but only if certain accountability measures are included in the proposition. Article XIIIA defines full cash value to mean “the county assessor’s valuation of real property as shown on the 1975-76 tax bill under 85240462.7 45 “full cash value,” or thereafter, the appraised value of real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has occurred after the 1975 assessment.” The full cash value may be adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a rate not to exceed 2% per year or to reflect a reduction in the consumer price index or comparable data for the area under the taxing jurisdiction, or reduced in the event of declining property values caused by substantial damage, destruction, or other factors. Legislation enacted by the State Legislature to implement Article XIIIA provides that notwithstanding any other law, local agencies may not levy any ad valorem property tax except to pay debt service on indebtedness approved by the voters as described above. Legislation Implementing Article XIIIA Legislation has been enacted and amended a number of times since 1978 to implement Article XIIIA. Under current law, local agencies are no longer permitted to levy directly any property tax (except to pay voter-approved indebtedness). The one percent property tax is automatically levied by the County and distributed according to a formula among taxing agencies. The formula apportions the tax roughly in proportion to the relative shares of taxes levied prior to 1989. Increases of assessed valuation resulting from reappraisals of property due to new construction, change in ownership or from the 2% annual adjustment are allocated among the various jurisdictions in the “taxing area” based upon their respective “situs.” Any such allocation made to a local agency continues as part of its allocation in future years. Beginning in the 1981-82 fiscal year, assessors in the State no longer record property values on tax rolls at the assessed value of 25% of market value which was expressed as $4 per $100 assessed value. All taxable property is now shown at full market value on the tax rolls. Consequently, the tax rate is expressed as $1 per $100 of taxable value. All taxable property value included in this Official Statement is shown at 100% of market value (unless noted differently) and all tax rates reflect the $1 per $100 of taxable value. Article XIIIB of the California Constitution An initiative to amend the State Constitution entitled “Limitation of Government Appropriations” was approved on September 6, 1979, thereby adding Article XIIIB to the State Constitution (“Article XIIIB”). Under Article XIIIB, the State and each local governmental entity has an annual “appropriations limit” and is not permitted to spend certain moneys that are called “appropriations subject to limitation” (consisting of tax revenues, state subventions and certain other funds) in an amount higher than the appropriations limit. Article XIIIB does not affect the appropriations of moneys that are excluded from the definition of “appropriations subject to limitation,” including debt service on indebtedness existing or authorized as of January 1, 1979, or bonded indebtedness subsequently approved by the voters. In general terms, the appropriations limit is to be based on certain 1978-79 expenditures, and is to be adjusted annually to reflect changes in consumer prices, populations, and services provided by these entities. Among other provisions of Article XIIIB, if these entities’ revenues in any year exceed the amounts permitted to be spent, the excess would have to be returned by revising tax rates or fee schedules over the subsequent two years. “Appropriations subject to limitation” are authorizations to spend “proceeds of taxes,” which consist of tax revenues, state subventions and certain other funds, including proceeds from regulatory licenses, user charges or other fees to the extent that such proceeds exceed “the cost reasonably borne by such entity in providing the regulation, product or service,” but “proceeds of taxes” excludes tax refunds and some benefit payments such as unemployment insurance. No limit is imposed on appropriations of funds which are not “proceeds of taxes,” such as reasonable user charges or fees, and certain other non-tax funds. Not included in the Article XIIIB limit are appropriations for the debt service costs of bonds existing or authorized by January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, appropriations required to comply with mandates of courts or the federal government and appropriations for qualified capital outlay projects. The appropriations limit may also be exceeded in certain cases of emergency. 85240462.7 46 The appropriations limit for the District in each year is based on the District’s limit for the prior year, adjusted annually for changes in the cost of living and changes in population, and adjusted, where applicable, for transfer of financial responsibility of providing services to or from another unit of government. The change in the cost of living is, at the District’s option, either (1) the percentage change in State per capita personal income, or (2) the percentage change in the local assessment roll on nonresidential property. Either test is likely to be greater than the change in the cost of living index, which was used prior to Proposition 111. Change in population is to be measured either within the jurisdiction of the District or the County as a whole. As amended by Proposition 111, the appropriations limit is tested over consecutive two-year periods. Any excess of the aggregate “proceeds of taxes” received by a District over such two-year period above the combined appropriations limits for those two years is to be returned to taxpayers by reductions in tax rates or fee schedules over the subsequent two years. As originally enacted in 1979, the District’s appropriations limit was based on 1978-79 authorizations to expend proceeds of taxes and was adjusted annually to reflect changes in cost of living and population (using different definitions, which were modified by Proposition 111). Starting with Fiscal Year 1990-91, the District’s appropriations limit was recalculated by taking the actual Fiscal Year 1986-87 limit, and applying the annual adjustments as if Proposition 111 had been in effect. The District does not anticipate that any such appropriations limitations will impair its ability to make the Installment Payment as required by the Installment Purchase Agreement. Proposition 1A Proposition 1A (“Proposition 1A”), proposed by the Legislature in connection with the 2004-05 Budget Act and approved by the voters in November 2004, restricts State authority to reduce major local tax revenues such as the tax shifts permitted to take place in Fiscal Years 2004-05 and 2005-06. Proposition 1A provides that the State may not reduce any local sales tax rate, limit existing local government authority to levy a sales tax rate or change the allocation of local sales tax revenues, subject to certain exceptions. Proposition 1A generally prohibits the State from shifting to schools or community colleges any share of property tax revenues allocated to local governments for any fiscal year, as set forth under the laws in effect as of November 3, 2004. Any change in the allocation of property tax revenues among local governments within a county must be approved by two-thirds of both houses of the Legislature. Proposition 1A provides, however, that beginning in Fiscal Year 2008-09, the State may shift to schools and community colleges up to 8% of local government property tax revenues, which amount must be repaid, with interest, within three years, if the Governor proclaims that the shift is needed due to a severe state financial hardship, the shift is approved by two-thirds of both houses and certain other conditions are met. Such a shift may not occur more than twice in any ten-year period. The State may also approve voluntary exchanges of local sales tax and property tax revenues among local governments within a county. Proposition 1A also provides that if the State reduces the vehicle license fee (“VLF”) rate currently in effect, 0.65% of vehicle value, the State must provide local governments with equal replacement revenues. Further, Proposition 1A requires the State to suspend State mandates affecting cities, counties and special districts, excepting mandates relating to employee rights, schools or community colleges, in any year that the State does not fully reimburse local governments for their costs to comply with such mandates. Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the California Constitution Proposition 218, a State ballot initiative known as the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” was approved by the voters on November 5, 1996. The initiative added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution, creating additional requirements for the imposition by most local governments of “general taxes,” “special taxes,” “assessments,” “fees,” and “charges.” Proposition 218 became effective, pursuant to its terms, as of November 6, 1996, although compliance with some of its provisions was deferred until July 1, 1997, and certain of its provisions purport to apply to any tax imposed for general governmental purposes (i.e., “general taxes”) imposed, extended or increased on or after January 1, 1995 and prior to November 6, 1996. 85240462.7 47 Article XIIID imposes substantive and procedural requirements on the imposition, extension or increase of any “fee” or “charge” subject to its provisions. A “fee” or “charge” subject to Article XIIID includes any levy, other than an ad valorem tax, special tax or assessment, imposed by an agency upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership. Article XIIID prohibits, among other things, the imposition of any proposed fee or charge, and, possibly, the increase of any existing fee or charge, in the event written protests against the proposed fee or charge are presented at a required public hearing on the fee or charge by a majority of owners of the parcels upon which the fee or charge is to be imposed. Except for fees and charges for water, sewer and refuse collection services, the approval of a majority of the property owners subject to the fee or charge, or at the option of the agency, by a two-thirds vote of the electorate residing in the affected area, is required within 45 days following the public hearing on any such proposed new or increased fee or charge. The California Supreme Court decisions in Richmond v. Shasta Community Services District, 32 Cal.4th 409 (2004) (“Richmond”), and Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency v. Verjil, 39 Cal.4th 205 (2006) (“Bighorn”) have clarified some of the uncertainty surrounding the applicability of Section 6 of Article XIIID to service fees and charges. In Richmond, the Shasta Community Services District charged a water connection fee, which included a capacity charge for capital improvements to the water system and a fire suppression charge. The Court held that both the capacity charge and the fire suppression charge were not subject to Article XIIID because a water connection fee is not a property-related fee or charge because it results from the property owner’s voluntary decision to apply for the connection. In both Richmond and Bighorn, however, the Court stated that a fee for ongoing water service through an existing connection is imposed “as an incident of property ownership” within the meaning of Article XIIID, rejecting, in Bighorn, the water agency’s argument that consumption-based water charges are not imposed “as an incident of property ownership” but as a result of the voluntary decisions of customers as to how much water to use. Article XIIID also provides that “standby charges” are considered “assessments” and must follow the procedures required for “assessments” under Article XIIID and imposes several procedural requirements for the imposition of any assessment, which may include (1) various notice requirements, including the requirement to mail a ballot to owners of the affected property; (2) the substitution of a property owner ballot procedure for the traditional written protest procedure, and providing that “majority protest” exists when ballots (weighted according to proportional financial obligation) submitted in opposition exceed ballots in favor of the assessments; and (3) the requirement that the levying entity “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel” of land. Article XIIID also precludes standby charges for services that are not immediately available to the parcel being charged. Article XIIID provides that all existing, new or increased assessments are to comply with its provisions beginning July 1, 1997. Existing assessments imposed on or before November 5, 1996, and “imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operations expenses for [among other things] water” are exempted from some of the provisions of Article XIIID applicable to assessments. Article XIIIC extends the people’s initiative power to reduce or repeal existing local taxes, assessments, fees and charges. This extension of the initiative power is not limited by the terms of Article XIIIC to fees, taxes, assessment fees and charges imposed after November 6, 1996 and absent other authority could result in retroactive reduction in any existing taxes, assessments, fees or charges. In Bighorn, the Court concluded that under Article XIIIC local voters by initiative may reduce a public agency’s water rates and delivery charges. The Court noted, however, that it was not holding that the authorized initiative power is free of all limitations, stating that it was not determining whether the electorate’s initiative power is subject to the public agency’s statutory obligation to set water service charges at a level that will “pay the operating expenses of the agency, . . . provide for repairs and depreciation of works, provide a reasonable surplus for improvements, extensions, and enlargements, pay the interest on any bonded debt, and provide a sinking or other fund for the payment of the principal of such debt as it may become due.” The District implemented a five-year plan beginning in Fiscal Year 2002-03 which included a rate increase of $7.50 per year, or 9.4%, for all ratepayers to $87.50 per year. In May 2003, the Board of Directors approved consideration of a 15% rate increase a year, for each year, over the then following five years, upon 85240462.7 48 2/3 vote of the Board of Directors after conducting a noticed public hearing in compliance with Article XIIID. The Board of Directors considered this increase necessary to provide needed capital improvements, to cover additional treatment and disinfection costs, and to minimize rate increases over an extended period of time. On July 2, 2003, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-20 increasing sanitary sewer service charges for all single family and multi-family residential units as well as most commercial and industrial properties. The Ordinance was adopted by a 2/3 vote of the Board of Directors as required under law after conducting a noticed public hearing in compliance with all laws. The Ordinance increases the amount of the annual charges by approximately 15% per year for each of the following five years, commencing with Fiscal Year 2003-04, thereby raising the single family residence user rate from the then current $87.50 to $100.00, $115.00, $132.00, $152.00, and $175.00 annually. The Ordinance discounted by 5% the annual increases which were the subject of the required protest hearings on the fee increase as described above. After the completion of the CIP Validation Study for Fiscal Year 2005-06 that increased its ten year CIP cash flow projects to $2.2 billion, or an average of $220 million per year, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-26 increasing the Fiscal Year 2005-06 single family residential rate 31%, from $115 to $151 for such year. In May 2006, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-30B increasing the Fiscal Year 2006-07 single family residential rate 9.8%, from $151.00 to $165.80 for such year, except those located in Revenue Area 14. These increases represented the increase permitted under the protest hearings on the fee increase which was held in 2003. In June 2007, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-32 increasing the Fiscal Year 2007-08 single family residential rate by 9.8%. In February 2008, after a noticed public hearing, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-35, which provides for annual increases in the single family residential rate of 10.5%, 10%, 10%, 9.8% and 9.8%, respectively, for Fiscal Years 2008- 09 through 2012-13. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District will, to the extent permitted by law, fix, prescribe and collect fees and charges for the services of the Wastewater System which will be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year (a) Net Revenues equal to 125% of Debt Service on Senior Obligations for such Fiscal Year, and (b) Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service on all Obligations for such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and charges and may make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but will not reduce the fees and charges then in effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and charges will at all times be sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement. In the event that service charges are determined to be subject to Article XIIID, and proposed increased service charges cannot be imposed as a result of a majority protest, such circumstances may adversely effect the ability of the District to generate revenues in the amounts required by the Master Agreement, and to make the Installment Payment as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement. No assurance may be given that Articles XIIIC and XIIID will not have a material adverse impact on Net Revenues. Other Initiative Measures Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID were adopted pursuant to California’s constitutional initiative process. From time to time other initiative measures could be adopted by California voters, placing additional limitations on the ability of the District to increase revenues. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the Notes and certain other legal matters are subject to the approving opinion of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Los Angeles, California, Special Counsel to the District. A complete copy of the proposed form of Special Counsel opinion is attached as Appendix F hereto. Special Counsel, in its capacity as Special Counsel to the District, undertakes no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of this Official Statement. Certain legal matters will be passed on for the District and the Corporation by Woodruff, Spradlin & Smart, a Professional Corporation, Costa Mesa, California, and for the District by Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P. as Disclosure Counsel to the District. 85240462.7 49 FINANCIAL ADVISOR The District has retained Public Resources Advisory Group as financial advisor (the “Financial Advisor”) in connection with the execution and delivery of the Notes. The Financial Advisor has not been engaged, nor have they undertaken, to audit, authenticate or otherwise verify the information set forth in the Official Statement, or any other related information available to the District, with respect to accuracy and completeness of disclosure of such information. The Financial Advisor has reviewed this Official Statement but makes no guaranty, warranty or other representation respecting accuracy and completeness of the information contained in this Official Statement. ABSENCE OF LITIGATION There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, regulatory agency, public board or body, pending or, to the best knowledge of the District, threatened against the District affecting the existence of the District or the titles of its directors or officers to their offices or seeking to restrain or to enjoin the sale or delivery of the Notes, the application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Trust Agreement, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the Notes, the Trust Agreement, the Master Agreement, the Installment Purchase Agreement or any action of the District contemplated by any of said documents, or in any way contesting the completeness or accuracy of this Official Statement, or contesting the powers of the District or its authority with respect to the Notes or any action of the District contemplated by any of said documents, nor, to the knowledge of the District is there any basis therefor. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, regulatory agency, public board or body pending or, to the best knowledge of the District, threatened against the District contesting or affecting the ability of the District to collect amounts from which the Installment Payment is payable, or which would have a material adverse effect on the District’s ability to make the Installment Payment. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The basic financial statements of the District included in Appendix A to this Official Statement have been audited by Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C., independent certified public accountants. See APPENDIX A – “COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009” herein. The District has received the Government Finance Officer’s Association Certificate of Achievement for “Excellence in Financial Reporting” for [13] consecutive years. The audited financial statements, including the footnotes thereto, should be reviewed in their entirety. Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. has consented to the inclusion of its report as Appendix A but has not undertaken to update its report or to take any action intended or likely to elicit information concerning the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements made in this Official Statement, and no opinion is expressed by Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. with respect to any event subsequent to its report dated _________, 2009. TAX MATTERS The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) imposes certain requirements that must be met subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the Notes for the interest component of the Installment Payment (the “Interest Component”), and the allocable portion thereof distributable in respect of each Note (the “Note Interest Distribution”), to be and remain excluded from the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes. Noncompliance with such requirements could cause such amounts to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of delivery of the Installment Purchase Agreement and the Notes. The District and the Corporation have covenanted in the Installment Purchase Agreement and in the Trust Agreement to maintain the exclusion pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code of the 85240462.7 50 Interest Component and the Note Interest Distribution from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. Upon the delivery of the Notes, Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Los Angeles, California, Special Counsel, will deliver its opinion that, under existing law, and assuming compliance with the aforementioned covenants, the Interest Component allocable to and the Note Interest Distributions in respect of a Note are excluded pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes and will not be included in computing the alternative minimum taxable income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. Further, on that same day Special Counsel will render its opinion, based solely on the foregoing, and upon existing provisions of the laws of California, that such Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions are exempt from personal income taxes of the State of California. Notice 94-84, 1994-2 C.B. 559, states that the Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) is studying whether the stated interest portion of the payment at maturity on a short-term debt obligation (such as the Notes), that matures not more than one year from the date of issue, bears a stated fixed rate of interest and is described in section 103(a) of the Code, is (i) qualified stated interest that is excluded from the stated redemption price at maturity of the obligation (within the meaning of section 1273 of the Code) but is excluded from gross income pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code, or (ii) is not qualified stated interest and, therefore, is included by the taxpayer in the stated redemption price at maturity of the obligation, creating or increasing (as to that taxpayer) original issue discount on the obligation that is excluded from gross income pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code. Notice 94-84 states that until the Service provides further guidance with respect to tax-exempt short-term debt obligations, a taxpayer holding such obligations may treat the stated interest payable at maturity either as qualified stated interest or as included in the stated redemption price at maturity of the obligation. However, the taxpayer must treat the amounts to be paid at maturity on all tax-exempt short- term debt obligations in a consistent manner. Notice 94-84 does not address various aspects necessary to the application of the latter method (including, for example, the treatment of a holder acquiring its Note other than in the original public offering or at a price other than the original offering price). Each person considering acquiring the Notes should consult its own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of ownership of and of the election between the choices of treatment of the stated interest payable at maturity on the Notes. Special Counsel has not undertaken to advise in the future whether any events after the date of delivery of the Installment Purchase Agreement and the Notes may affect the tax status of the Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions. No assurance can be given that future legislation, or amendments to statutes of the State of California or of the United States, if enacted into law, will not contain provisions that could directly or indirectly reduce the benefit of the exemption of such amounts from personal income taxes of the State of California or of the exclusion of such amounts from the gross income of the owners of Notes for Federal income tax purposes. Furthermore, Special Counsel will express no opinion as to any federal, state, or local tax law consequences with respect to the Installment Purchase Agreement, Notes, Interest Component, or Note Interest Distributions, if any action is taken with respect to the Installment Purchase Agreement, the Notes, or the proceeds thereof, or the Trust Agreement permitted or predicated upon the advice or approval of counsel if such advice or approval is given by counsel other than Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P. Although Special Counsel is of the opinion that Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions in respect of a Note are exempt from state personal income taxation and excluded from the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes, an owner’s federal, state or local tax liability may be otherwise affected by the ownership or disposition of the Note. The nature and extent of these other tax consequences will depend upon the owner’s other items of income or deduction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prospective purchasers of Notes should be aware that: (i) section 265 of the Code denies a deduction for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry the Notes or, in the case of a financial institution, that portion of an owner’s interest expense allocated to the Notes; (ii) with respect to insurance companies subject to the tax imposed by section 831 of the Code, section 832(b)(5)(B)(i) reduces the deduction for loss reserves by 15% of the sum of certain items, including Interest Component and Note Interest 85240462.7 51 Distributions in respect of Notes owned by such companies; (iii) Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions accrued in respect of Notes owned by certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States for federal income tax purposes could be subject to a branch profits tax imposed by section 884 of the Code; (iv) passive investment income, including Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions accrued in respect of Notes, accruing to a Subchapter S corporation that at the close of a taxable year has Subchapter C earnings and profits may be subject to federal income taxation under section 1375 of the Code if greater than 25% of the gross receipts of such Subchapter S corporation is passive investment income; (v) section 86 of the Code requires recipients of certain Social Security and certain Railroad Retirement benefits to take into account, in determining the taxability of such benefits, Installments Interest and Note Interest Distributions accrued in respect of Notes owned by such recipients for federal income tax purposes; and (vi) under section 32(i) of the Code, receipt of investment income, including Interest Component and Note Interest Distributions accrued in respect of Notes, may disqualify the owner thereof from obtaining the earned income credit. Special Counsel has expressed no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences. Special Counsel’s opinion is not a guarantee of a result, but represents its legal judgment based upon its review of existing statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions and the representations and covenants of the District and the Corporation described above. No ruling has been sought from the Service with respect to the matters addressed in the opinion of Special Counsel, and Special Counsel’s opinion is not binding on the Service. The Service has an ongoing program of auditing the tax-exempt status of the interest on municipal obligations. If an audit of the Notes is commenced, under current procedures the Service is likely to treat the District as the “taxpayer,” and the Owners would have no right to participate in the audit process. In responding to or defending an audit of the tax-exempt status of the interest with respect to the Notes, the District may have different or conflicting interest from the Owners. Further, the disclosure of the initiation of an audit may adversely affect the market price of the Notes, regardless of the final disposition of the audit. The proposed form of opinion of Special Counsel is attached hereto as Appendix F. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE The District has covenanted for the benefit of holders and beneficial owners of the Notes to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events, if material. The notices of material events, if any, will be filed by the Dissemination Agent on behalf of the District with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, with each Repository and with the State Repository, if any. See APPENDIX D – “FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.” This covenant has been made in order to assist the Initial Purchaser in complying with S.E.C. Rule 15c2-12 (the “Rule”). During the past five years, the District has never failed to comply in all material respects with any previous undertaking with respect to the Rule. RATINGS The Notes will be rated “________” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), and “________” by Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”). Such ratings reflect only the views of the rating agencies, and do not constitute a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the Notes. Explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained only from the respective organizations at: Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041 and Fitch Ratings, One State Street Plaza, New York, New York 10004. There is no assurance that any such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the respective rating agencies, if in the judgment of any such rating agency circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Notes. 85240462.7 52 PURCHASE AND REOFFERING ____________, (the “Initial Purchaser”) has purchased the Notes from the District at a competitive sale for a purchase price of $________________ (representing the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus a net original issue premium of $_____________, and less an Initial Purchaser discount of $___________). The public offering prices may be changed from time to time by the Initial Purchaser. The Initial Purchaser may offer and sell Notes to certain dealers and others at prices lower than the offering price shown on the cover page hereof. MISCELLANEOUS Included herein are brief summaries of certain documents and reports, which summaries do not purport to be complete or definitive, and reference is made to such documents and reports for full and complete statements of the contents thereof. Any statements in this Official Statement involving matters of opinion, whether or not expressly so stated, are intended as such and not as representations of fact. This Official Statement is not to be construed as a contract or agreement between the District and the purchasers or Owners of any of the Notes. The execution and delivery of this Official Statement has been duly authorized by the District. ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT By: Chair of the Board of Directors 85240462.7 A-1 APPENDIX A COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 85240462.7 B-1 APPENDIX B THE COUNTY OF ORANGE – ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION 85240462.7 C-1 APPENDIX C SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS 85240462.7 D-1 APPENDIX D FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT 85240462.7 E-1 APPENDIX E BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM The description that follows of the procedures and recordkeeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the Notes, payment of principal and interest evidenced by the Notes to Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in the Notes, and other Note-related transactions by and between DTC, Participants and Beneficial Owners, is based on information furnished by DTC which the District and the Corporation each believes to be reliable, but the District and the Corporation take no responsibility for the completeness or accuracy thereof. The Depository Trust Company – Book-Entry System The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the securities (the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered note will be issued for the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly- owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has Standard & Poor’s highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org. The information on such websites is not incorporated herein by such reference or otherwise. Purchases of Notes under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Notes on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Note (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Notes, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Notes is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Notes deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other name as may be requested by an 85240462.7 E-2 authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Notes; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Notes are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Notes may wish to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Notes, such as prepayments, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Notes may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Notes for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of the notices be provided directly to them. Prepayment notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Notes within an issue are being prepaid, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be prepaid. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Notes unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the District as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Notes are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Prepayment proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Notes will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts, upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the District or the Trustee on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, nor its nominee, the Trustee, or the District, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of prepayment proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the District or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Notes at any time by giving reasonable notice to the District or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Notes are required to be printed and delivered. The District may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Notes will be printed and delivered to DTC. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the District believes to be reliable, but the District takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. 85240462.7 E-3 Discontinuance of DTC Services In the event (i) DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the Notes, (ii) DTC shall no longer act and give notice to the Trustee of such determination or (iii) the District determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain Notes and delivers a written certificate to the Trustee to that effect, DTC services will be discontinued. If the District determines to replace DTC with another qualified securities depository, the District shall prepare or direct the preparation of a new single, separate, fully registered Note for each of the maturities of the Notes, registered in the name of such successor or substitute qualified securities depository or its nominee. If the District fails to identify another qualified securities depository to replace DTC then the Notes shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the certificate registration books in the name of Cede & Co., but shall be registered in such names as are requested in a certificate of the District, in accordance with the Trust Agreement. All Notes may be presented for transfer by the Owner thereof, in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, at the Principal Office of the Trustee, on the books required to be kept by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, upon surrender of such Certifications for cancellation accompanied by delivery of a duly executed written instrument of transfer in a form acceptable to the Trustee. The Trustee may treat the Owner of any Note as the absolute owner of such Note for all purposes, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and the Trustee shall not be affected by any knowledge or notice to the contrary; and payment of the interest and principal evidenced by such Note shall be made only to such Owner, which payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability evidenced by such Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. Whenever any Notes shall be surrendered for transfer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver new Notes representing the same principal amount in Authorized Denominations. The Trustee shall require the payment of any Owner requesting such transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer. Notes may be presented for exchange at the Principal Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other Authorized Denominations. The Trustee shall require the payment by the Owner requesting such exchange of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange. The Trustee shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Note during the period in which the Trustee is selecting Notes for prepayment, nor shall the Trustee be required to transfer or exchange any Note or portion thereof selected for prepayment from and after the date of mailing the notice of prepayment thereof. 85240462.7 F-1 APPENDIX F FORM OF APPROVING OPINION OF SPECIAL COUNSEL Upon the execution and delivery of the Notes, Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Los Angeles, California, Special Counsel to the District, will render its final approving opinion with respect to the Notes in substantially the following form: [Date of Delivery] Orange County Sanitation District 10844 Ellis Avenue Fountain Valley, California 92708-7018 $_____________ Orange County Sanitation District Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2009B Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as Special Counsel in connection with the $___________ aggregate principal amount of Orange County Sanitation District Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2009B (the “Notes”) which evidence direct, fractional undivided interests of the Owners thereof in the installment payment (the “Installment Payment”), and the interest thereon, to be made by the Orange County Sanitation District (the “District”) pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2009 (the “Installment Purchase Agreement”), by and between the District and the Orange County Sanitation District Financing Corporation (the “Corporation”). Pursuant to the Master Agreement for District Obligations, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the “Master Agreement”), by and between the District and the Corporation, the District has established conditions and terms upon which obligations such as the Installment Payment and the interest thereon, will be incurred and secured. The Installment Payment under the Installment Purchase Agreement is payable from (i) Net Revenues as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement, consisting primarily of all income and revenue received by the District from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System of the District (the “Wastewater System”) remaining after payment of Maintenance and Operation Costs, and (ii) other lawfully available funds of the District. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Installment Purchase Agreement. The Notes are to be executed and delivered pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2009 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and among the District, the Corporation and Union Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). Proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be used to (i) pay at maturity all of the Orange County Sanitation District Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series 2008C (Certificate Anticipation Notes), currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $176,115,000, and (ii) pay the costs incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Notes. As Special Counsel, we have examined copies certified to us as being true and complete copies of the Master Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Installment Purchase Agreement and the proceedings of the District in connection with the execution and delivery of the Notes. We have also examined such certificates of officers of the District, the Corporation and others as we have considered necessary for the purposes of this opinion. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: 85240462.7 F-2 1. The Master Agreement, the Installment Purchase Agreement and the Trust Agreement each has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the District and, assuming the Master Agreement, the Installment Purchase Agreement and the Trust Agreement each constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the other parties thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance with its respective terms, each constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the District, enforceable against the District in accordance with its respective terms. 2. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of the Trust Agreement and the Notes by the Trustee, the Notes are entitled to the benefits of the Trust Agreement. 3. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) imposes certain requirements that must be met subsequent to the execution and delivery of the Notes for the component of each payment designated as interest in the Installment Purchase Agreement (the “Payment Interest”), and the allocable portion thereof distributable in respect of each Note (the “Note Interest Distribution”), to be and remain excluded from the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes. Noncompliance with such requirements could cause such amounts to be included in gross income of such owner for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of delivery of the Notes. The Corporation and the District have covenanted in the Trust Agreement, and the District has covenanted in the Installment Purchase Agreement, to maintain the exclusion pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code of the Payment Interest from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. In our opinion, under existing law, and assuming compliance with the aforementioned covenant, the Payment Interest allocable to and the Note Interest Distributions in respect of a Note are excluded pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes and will not be included in computing the alternative minimum taxable income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. Further, based solely on the foregoing, and upon existing provisions of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, we are of the opinion that Payment Interest allocable to and the Note Interest Distributions in respect of a Note are not subject to taxation under the California personal income tax. We have not undertaken to advise in the future whether any events after the date of delivery of the Installment Purchase Agreement may affect the tax status of the Payment Interest or Note Interest Distributions. No assurance can be given that future legislation, if enacted into law, will not contain provisions that could directly or indirectly reduce the benefit of the exclusion of such amounts from the gross income of the owner of Notes for federal income tax purposes. Furthermore, we express no opinion as to any federal, state, or local tax law consequences with respect to the Installment Purchase Agreement, Notes, Payment Interest, or Note Interest Distributions, if any action is taken with respect to the Installment Purchase Agreement, the Master Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Notes, or the proceeds thereof, permitted or predicated upon the advice or approval of counsel if such advice or approval is given by counsel other than us. Except as stated in the preceding three paragraphs, we express no opinion as to any federal or state tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of the Installment Purchase Agreement or the Notes. We have not been requested to express, and do not express, any view as to the compliance by any person with federal and state securities laws. With the exception of the opinions expressed above, we have not been requested to express and do not express, any opinion as to any matter affected by any taxing or other law of the State of California. The rights of the owners of the Notes and the enforceability of the Notes, the Master Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Installment Purchase Agreement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights heretofore or hereafter enacted and may also be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases. The enforceability of the 85240462.7 F-3 Notes, the Master Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Installment Purchase Agreement is subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, to the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and to the limitations on legal remedies against governmental entities in California. No opinion is expressed herein on the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Official Statement or other offering material relating to the Notes. Our opinions are based on existing law, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may hereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service; rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law that we deem relevant to such opinions and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above.

This Official Notice Inviting Bids contains certain information for quick reference only, is not a summary of the issue and governs only the terms of the sale of, bidding for and closing procedures with respect to the Notes. Bidders must read the entire Preliminary Official Statement to obtain information essential to making an informed investment decision. Pursuant to the Master Agreement for District Obligations, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the “Master Agreement”), by and between the District and the Corporation, the District has established and declared the conditions and terms upon which obligations such as the Installment Purchase Agreement, and the Installment Payments and the interest thereon, will be incurred and secured. The Installment * Preliminary, subject to change. 85240530.4 2 Payment under the Installment Purchase Agreement is payable solely from Net Revenues, as provided in the Master Agreement and the Installment Purchase Agreement, consisting primarily of all income and revenue received by the District from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System of the District (the “Wastewater System”) remaining after payment of Maintenance and Operation Costs. The Issue The proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be used to: (i) pay at maturity all of the Orange County Sanitation District Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series 2008C (Certificate Anticipation Notes) currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $176,115,000 and (ii) pay the costs incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Notes. The Notes are to be executed and delivered pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2009 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and among the District, the Corporation and Union Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same definitions as used in the Trust Agreement or the Master Agreement. Authorization On October 28, 2009, the District and the Corporation authorized the execution and delivery of the Installment Purchase Agreement and the Trust Agreement in connection with the execution and delivery of the Notes. Outstanding Senior Obligations The District has outstanding Senior Obligations payable on a parity with the Installment Payment under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The term “Existing Senior Obligations” as used in the Preliminary Official Statement refers to the 2000 Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2003 Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2007A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2007B Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2008A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2008B Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2008C Installment Purchase Agreement and the 2009A Installment Purchase Agreement. Security and Source of Payments The Notes evidence direct, undivided fractional interests in the Installment Payment, and the interest thereon, paid by the District pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement. The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payment and the interest thereon and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement is a special obligation of the District payable, in the manner provided under the Installment Purchase Agreement, solely from Net Revenues and other funds as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement. Net Revenues generally consist of all income and revenue received by the District from the operation or ownership of the Wastewater System remaining after payment of Maintenance and Operation Costs, all as further provided in the Master Agreement. The District’s obligation to make the Installment Payment from Net Revenues is on a parity with the District’s obligation to make payments with respect to its other outstanding obligations described as Senior Obligations and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations, as provided in the Master Agreement. The Installment Purchase Agreement constitutes a Senior Obligation and is subject to the provisions of the Master Agreement and is afforded all of the advantages, benefits, interests and security for Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District pledges all Net Revenues to the payment of the Senior Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations, and the Net Revenues will not be used for any other purpose while any of the Senior Obligations or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to 85240530.4 3 Senior Obligations remain unpaid; provided, however, that out of the Net Revenues there may be apportioned such sums for such purposes as are expressly permitted by the Master Agreement. This pledge constitutes a first lien on the Net Revenues for the payment of the Senior Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations. The term Senior Obligations, generally means all revenue bonds or notes (including bond anticipation notes and commercial paper) of the District authorized, executed, issued and delivered under and pursuant to applicable law, the Installment Purchase Agreement and all other contracts (including financial contracts) or leases of the District authorized and executed by the District under and pursuant to applicable law, the installment, lease or other payments under which are, in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement, payable from Net Revenues on a parity with the payments under the Master Agreement. The District may at any time incur Subordinate Obligations; provided, however, that prior to incurring such Subordinate Obligations, the District will have determined that the incurrence thereof will not materially adversely affect the District’s ability to comply with the requirements of the Master Agreement. The District may at any time incur Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Subordinate Obligations. For a description of the District’s outstanding Senior Obligations and Subordinate Obligations, see “FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS — Existing Indebtedness” in the Preliminary Official Statement. The District may, in connection with the incurrence of Subordinate Obligations, pledge Net Revenues to the payment of Subordinate Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Subordinate Obligations; provided, however, that such pledge, and any lien created thereby, shall be junior and subordinate to the pledge of, and lien on, Net Revenues for the payment of Senior Obligations and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the District is required, to the extent permitted by law, to fix, prescribe and collect fees and charges for the services and facilities of the Wastewater System which will be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year (a) Net Revenues equal to 125% of Debt Service on Senior Obligations for such Fiscal Year and (b) Net Operating Revenues equal to 100% of Debt Service on all Obligations for such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and charges and may make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but shall not reduce the fees and charges then in effect unless the Revenues and Net Revenues from such reduced fees and charges will at all times be sufficient to meet the requirements of the Master Agreement. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES — Rate Covenant” in the Preliminary Official Statement. Additional Obligations In addition to the Existing Senior Obligations, the District may at any time incur Obligations payable on a parity or on a subordinate basis to the payment by the District of the Installment Payment upon satisfaction of conditions provided in the Master Agreement. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES — Limitations on Issuance of Additional Obligations” in the Preliminary Official Statement. Book-Entry-Only The Notes will be executed and delivered in the form of fully registered certificates payable in lawful money of the United States of America. The Notes will be initially delivered only in book-entry form and will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”), which will act as securities depository for the Notes. Individual purchases of the Notes will be made in book-entry form only. Purchasers of Notes will not receive 85240530.4 4 physical certificates representing their ownership interests in the Notes purchased. The Notes will be delivered in Authorized Denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Payments of principal and interest evidenced by the Notes are payable directly to DTC by the Trustee. Upon receipt of payments of such principal and interest, DTC will in turn distribute such payments to the beneficial owners of the Notes. So long as the Notes are in the DTC book-entry system, the interest, principal and prepayment premiums, if any, due with respect to the Notes will be payable by the Trustee, or its agent, to DTC or its nominee. Principal and Interest Payments The Notes will mature on December __, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”). The District expects the principal of and interest on the Notes to be paid from proceeds of the sale, prior to the Maturity Date, of a future series of certificates of participation, notes or other obligations of the District. The sale and delivery of a future series of certificates of participation, notes or other obligations of the District will depend on market conditions, certain approvals by the District and the Corporation and other factors. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE NOTES” in the Preliminary Official Statement. No Prepayment The Notes are not subject to prepayment prior to their maturity. Interest Rates, Reoffering Prices, and Premium Bids Bidders must bid to purchase all and not part of the Notes and must submit their bids on the Official Bid Form. Bidders must specify a rate of interest for the Notes, expressed in multiples of one- eighth (1/8) or one-twentieth (1/20) of one percent (1%); provided, that the interest rate cannot exceed 3.5% per annum. The successful bidder will, within 30 minutes after being notified of the award of the Notes, advise the District of the initial bona fide public reoffering prices of the Notes on the date of award. The successful bidder will also be required, prior to delivery of the Notes, to furnish to the District a certificate (“Bidder’s Certificate”) acceptable to Special Counsel, which states with respect to the Notes that such successful bidder either (A) has purchased the Notes for its own account and not with a view to distribution or resale and not in the capacity of a bond house, broker or other intermediary and the price at which such purchase was made, or (B) (1) has made a bona fide public offering to the public of each of the Notes at the prices indicated in the information supplied on the date of the award, and (2) an amount at least equal to 10 percent of the Notes was sold to the public at the price indicated on the date of the award, with the exception, if any, identified in such Bidder’s Certificate, as to which such certificate shall explain the reasons why at least 10 percent of the Notes were not sold to the public at the price indicated on the date of the award. For the purposes of the information submitted on the date of the award and the Bidder’s Certificate, the “public” does not include bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers. In making such representations, the successful bidder must reflect the anticipated existence, if any, of a “derivative product” (e.g., a tender option) offered or to be offered by the bidder or its affiliate in connection with the initial sale of any of the Notes. The successful bidder may also be asked by Special Counsel to clarify any discrepancies between the Bidder’s Certificate and publicly available information relating to trades of the Notes and to explain the failure to sell at least 10% of the Notes to the public at the price indicated on the date of the award. 85240530.4 5 Bidders may bid to purchase Notes from the District with a premium; however, no bid will be considered if the bid is to purchase Notes at an aggregate price less than 100% or more than 102.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes. No bid will be accepted which contemplates the waiver of any interest or other concession by the bidder as substitute for payment in full of the purchase price. Bids which do not conform to the terms of this section may be rejected. See “Right to Reject Bids, Waive Irregularities” below. No Insurance THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER MAY NOT PURCHASE MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE FOR ANY OF THE NOTES. Form of Bid BIDS FOR LESS THAN ALL OF THE NOTES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Each bid must be on the Official Bid Form. All electronic proposals shall be deemed to incorporate the provisions of the Official Bid Form and must be unconditional and irrevocable. In addition, each bidder is requested to supply an estimate of the true interest cost resulting from its bid, computed as prescribed below under the caption “Award, Delivery and Payment,” which shall be considered as informative only and not binding on either the bidder or the District. Each bid must be in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Official Notice Inviting Bids. The District will make its best efforts to accommodate the electronic bids; however, the District, the Financial Advisor (Public Resources Advisory Group) and Special Counsel assume no responsibility for any error contained in any electronic bid, or for the failure of any electronic bid to be transmitted or received at the official time for receipt of such bids. The official time for receipt of bids will be determined by the District at the place of the bid opening, and the District shall not be required to accept the time kept by Electronic Service as the official time. The District assumes no responsibility for informing any bidder prior to the deadline that its bid is incomplete, or not received. If multiple timely bids are received from a single bidder the District shall accept the best of such bids and each bidder agrees by submitting any bid to be bound by its best bid. Adjustments of Principal Amounts after Receipt of Bids The principal amount of the Notes set forth in the Official Bid Form reflects an estimate of the District as to the likely interest rate of the winning bid and the premium contained in the winning bid. After selecting the winning bid, the principal amount of the Notes will be adjusted in $5,000 increments, to reflect the actual interest rates and any premium in the winning bid to generate a dollar amount bid of $_____________ while maintaining the same “per Note” purchaser’s discount and original issue premium, if any, provided in such bid. Any such adjustment will be communicated to the winning bidder within 24 hours after receipt of such bid by the District. Changes in the principal amount of the Notes made as described in this paragraph will not affect the determination of the winning bidder or give the winning bidder any right to reject the Notes. Information Regarding Electronic Proposals Electronic proposals must be submitted through the Electronic Service. If any provision of this Official Notice Inviting Bids conflicts with information provided by the Electronic Service, this Official Notice Inviting Bids shall control. The District is not responsible for the proper operation of, and shall 85240530.4 6 have no liability for any delays or interruptions of or any damages caused by the Electronic Service. The District is using the Electronic Service as a communication mechanism and not as the District’s agent to conduct electronic bidding for the Notes. The District is not bound by any advice of or determination by the Electronic Service to the effect that any particular bid complies with the terms of this Official Notice Inviting Bids. All costs and expenses incurred by prospective bidders in connection with their submission of bids through the Electronic Service are the sole responsibility of such bidders and the District is not responsible for any such costs or expenses. Further information about the Electronic Service, including any fee charged, may be obtained from Ipreo LLC, 1359 Broadway, Second Floor, New York, NY 10018 (212-849-5021). The District assumes no responsibility or liability for bids submitted through the Electronic Service. The District shall be entitled to assume that any bid submitted through the Electronic Service has been made by a duly authorized agent of the bidder. Bid Security Deposit The successful bidder will be required to wire $1,750,000 in immediately available federal funds to the District as a bid security deposit within two (2) hours after verbal award of the bid. The District, or its representative, will contact the successful bidder to provide wire instructions for the bid security deposit. The bid security deposit shall be held in an escrow fund or account or a similar fund and applied to the purchase price of the Notes at the time of delivery of the Notes. If after the award of the Notes, the successful bidder fails to complete the purchase on the terms stated in its proposal, unless such failure of performance shall be caused by any act or omission of the District, the bid security deposit shall be retained by the District as stipulated liquidated damages. No interest will be paid upon the bid security deposit. Official Statement The District has approved a Preliminary Official Statement for the Notes, dated the date of this Official Notice Inviting Bids, which the District has “deemed final” for purposes of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended (the “Rule”), although subject to revision, amendment and completion in conformity with the Rule. The District will provide the successful bidder such reasonable number of printed copies of the final Official Statement as such bidder may reasonably request no later than seven business days after the day the Notes are awarded. Up to 100 copies of the final Official Statement will be furnished without cost to the successful bidder and further copies, if desired, will be made available at the successful bidder’s expense. The successful bidder shall file the final Official Statement with a nationally recognized municipal securities information repository on a timely basis. The successful bidder shall, by accepting the award, agree at all times to comply with the provisions of the Rule and with all applicable rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. Award, Delivery and Payment If satisfactory bids are received, the Notes will be awarded to the highest responsible bidder not later than two hours after the time established for the receipt of bids. The highest bidder shall be the bidder submitting the best price for the Notes, which best price shall be that resulting in the lowest true interest cost with respect to the Notes. The true interest cost shall be computed by doubling the semi- annual interest rate compounded semi-annually on the Notes necessary to discount the Installment Payment from the Maturity Date to the date of the Notes and to the price bid. If two or more bidders have bid the same true interest cost, the award shall be made at the sole discretion of the District. Delivery of the Notes is expected to occur on or about December __, 2009. The Notes will be delivered through the facilities of DTC, New York, New York. The successful bidder shall pay for the Notes on the date of delivery in Los Angeles, California in immediately available federal funds. Any 85240530.4 7 expenses of providing federal funds shall be borne by the purchaser.
