Approve a Professional Design Services Agreement with Dudek for Chemical Scrubber Conversions and Piping System Improvements, Project No. P2-106, providing for engineering design services for an amount not to exceed $165,559; and, 2. Approve a contingency of $16,555 (10%). SUMMARY This project will convert existing chemical scrubbers to biological trickling filters, 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 at Plant No. 2. In October 2009, the Board of Directors authorized staff to negotiate a Professional Design Services Agreement (PDSA) with Dudek to complete the design work and to provide support services during construction. Staff recommends awarding a PDSA to Dudek for a total amount not to exceed $165,559. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS October 2009 - Authorized General Manager to negotiate with Dudek for design and construction support services for Project No. P2-106. March 2003 — Biotrickling Filter for Odor Control Demonstration Project: Phase 11 Final Report. This report formed the basis for Project No. FE03-34, subsequently chartered on July 22, 2004. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION None. Form No.DW-102 Revised: 01/11/10 Page 1 CEQA 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. BUDGET/DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY COMPLIANCE This request complies with authority levels of the Orange County Sanitation District's Delegation of Authority. This item has been budgeted and the budget is sufficient for the recommended action. (FY2010-11 Budget P2-106 Line Item).

Ruth, General Manager Nick Arhontes, Director of Operations and Maintenance GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve a sewer transfer agreement and quitclaim of property rights to Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) transferring ownership and associated easement right for the local sewer in Equestrian Lane to IRWD at no cost to OCSD, in a form approved by General Counsel. SUMMARY OCSD owns and operates a local sewer in Equestrian Lane in the unincorporated area east of the city of Orange. This sewer exclusively collects and conveys local flow within a residential neighborhood. The gravity sewer is approximately 680 linear feet of Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP). The pipe is 8-inches in diameter and there are two manholes in this line. This local sewer commences in Equestrian Lane, a private street, and flows westerly into OCSD's Regional Trunk Sewer in Rancho Santiago Boulevard. In June 2008, IRWD completed a merger with Orange Park Acres Mutual Water Company (OPAMWC). As part of the LAFCO condition for the merger, IRWD agreed to analyze the option to create a master plan for implementing a sewer system in the former OPAMWC service area. On September 22, 2009, the Orange City Council took action and approved an agreement between the city of Orange and IRWD regarding wastewater flow, collection facilities, and sewer service in Orange Park Acres. The agreement will facilitate the transfer of the management responsibilities of local sewer service from the City to IRWD. It will also help IRWD to complete the goal of converting homes in the Orange Park Acres area from septic systems to a local municipal sewer system that drains to the OCSD regional system. OCSD's sewer in Equestrian Lane falls within IRWD's Orange Park Acres water service area. In the agreement between the City and IRWD, OCSD's policy to transfer local sewers to local sewering agencies is acknowledged. Further, the agreement states that IRWD will request that OCSD transfer the OCSD sewer in Equestrian Lane to IRWD. There is no financial impact with this transfer. The flow from Equestrian Lane is included in the flow accommodation agreement between OCSD and IRWD titled, Form No.DW-102 Revised:01/11/10 Page 1 "Agreement For Administrative Transfer Of Orange Park Acres Service Area To Revenue Area 14 And Inclusion Of Flows In Revenue Area 14 Wastewater Flow Calculations". PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS December 2009—Five-Year Strategic Plan, Business Principles Goal #7 Local Sewer Services—Implement the Board's four recommendations based on the findings of staff's revenue adequacy report. Continue to seek an asset transfer to other agencies. Also transfer other local assets back to cities that are not serving a true regional purpose.

Reject all bids for P1 Primary Basins 3-5 Hand Rails, Project No. FE08-09 SUMMARY The P1 Primary Basins 3-5 Hand Rails, Project No. FE08-09, generally consists of installing a hand rail system around existing Primary Clarifier Nos. 3, 4, and 5 located at Plant No. 1. The installation of the hand rail is needed to improve work area safety on top of the existing clarifiers and to increase the cost-effectiveness of performing routine maintenance on the basins. Nine sealed bids were received on April 1, 2010. Bids submitted ranged from $93,935 to $381,150. After evaluation of the bids by the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Evaluation Team, the seven lowest bids were deemed to be "non- responsive" bidders. The Sanitation District Evaluation Team recommended awarding the contract to the eighth lowest, responsible and responsive bidder, Engineering/ Remediation Resources Group, Inc., (ERRG), for $263,616. After reviewing the Evaluation Team's recommendation, the Director of Engineering recommends rejecting all bids for the following reasons: 1. There were an unusually large number of irregularities identified by the Evaluation Team in the lowest seven bids. Common among the bid irregularities was the omission of the OSHA Logs and Summaries. To help avoid this problem on future bids, the Director of Engineering recommends revising the Sanitation District's bid process to require the three lowest bidders to submit the OSHA Longs and Summaries within 72 hours after bid opening. Form No.DW-102 Revised:01/11/10 Page 1 2. There appeared to be some inconsistency in the hand rail products among the bidders.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: James D. Herberg CIP Project Manager: Martin Dix GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve a Professional Design Services Agreement with Brown and Caldwell for Santa Ana Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation, Project No. 1-17, providing for engineering design services for an amount not to exceed $801,850; and, 2. Approve a contingency of $80,185 (10%). SUMMARY The proposed Professional Design Services Agreement (PDSA) includes the condition assessment of the existing trunk sewer and manholes. Other elements include preparation of plan and profile drawings, flow monitoring, hydraulic modeling, odor monitoring and mitigation, rehabilitation recommendations, and project delivery analysis. A Request for Proposal was sent to seven firms and seven proposals were received. Based on the overall qualifications and expertise, staff recommends awarding a PDSA to Brown and Caldwell for a total fee not to exceed $801,850. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS None. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Santa Ana Trunk Sewer was constructed in 1952 and is located in the cities of Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, and Fountain Valley. The upstream end of the Santa Ana Trunk Sewer begins at the intersection of Alton Avenue and Bristol Street in Santa Ana and the downstream end discharges into the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley. The sewer is primarily within the Alton Avenue right-of-way; however, there are segments within Ellis Avenue, Orange County Flood Control (including the Santa Ana River), 405 freeway, railroad right-of-way and Costa Mesa's Business District. The pipe consists of approximately 5,600 linear feet of 42-inch and 11,700 linear feet of 48-inch diameter unlined reinforced concrete pipe. The portion under the 405 freeway consists of 450 linear feet of 60-inch lined reinforced concrete pipe. Form No.DW-102 Revised: 01/11/10 Page 1 The reinforced concrete pipe is in various stages of deterioration. The Santa Ana Trunk Sewer Inspection Report published in January 2002 identified several major defects such as pipeline corrosion, ground water infiltration, exposed aggregate, intrusion of roots and concrete erosion. The crown of the pipeline exhibited the most severe corrosion with infiltration at various locations primarily due to joint separation accompanied by root intrusion and/or mineral like deposits. The 60-inch lined pipeline under the 405 freeway has bubbles or disbanding in the lining and needs thorough inspection. The intent of this project is to identify the sewer's condition and provide the most cost effective rehabilitation. Staff Evaluation of Proposals A panel consisting of four members of the Sanitation District's staff reviewed and ranked each of the proposals in accordance with Resolution No. OCSD 07-04, Section 5.07. The proposals were evaluated in the following six equally weighted categories: project approach and understanding of the scope of work, plan for managing and performing the work, staff qualifications, related experience, team organization and use of sub- consultants, and quality assurance/quality control plan. Staff also conducted interviews with the top three short-listed firms to meet the key team members and further explore the firm's proposal. Brown and Caldwell was the top ranked team. All proposals were accompanied by a sealed fee proposal estimate. The fee proposal estimates were not opened until the proposals were evaluated and a firm was selected, in accordance with Resolution No. OCSD 07-04, Section 5.07. Staff recommends awarding the design contract to Brown and Caldwell.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Jim Herberg, Director of Engineering CIP Project Manager: Alberto Acevedo GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve an increase in contingency for the Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Butier Engineering for construction management services for Newport Trunk Sewer and Force Mains, Bitter Point Pump Station to Coast Trunk Sewer, Contract No. 5-58, for an additional $72,437 (4%) contingency, increasing the total contingency to $181,093 (10%). SUMMARY This project will provide a new point of connection from the proposed new Bitter Point Pump Station to convey the wastewater from the Cities of Newport Beach and Costa Mesa into Plant No. 2. The existing force main system has failed, requiring emergency repairs. In addition, the existing system is not suitable for the new operating pressure from the proposed Bitter Point Pump Station. Butier Engineering, Inc. is providing construction management services on this project to support the specialty nature of the construction work. Due to an extension of the project construction schedule for repairs due to ground settlement, and claims support, staff has determined that the contingency budget of 6% is inadequate, and request additional contingency of $72,437 (4%), for a total contingency of $181 ,093 (10%). PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS October 2008 - Approved Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Butier Engineering for construction management services for Newport Trunk Sewer and Force Mains, Bitter Point Pump Station to Coast Trunk Sewer, Contract No. 5-58, for an amount not to exceed $1,810,925, and approved a contingency of $108,656 (6%).

Ruth, General Manager Originator: James D. Herberg CIP Project Manager: Martin Dix GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve a Professional Design Services Agreement with Brown and Caldwell for Santa Ana Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation, Project No. 1-17, providing for engineering design services for an amount not to exceed $801,850; and, 2. Approve a contingency of $80,185 (10%). SUMMARY The proposed Professional Design Services Agreement (PDSA) includes the condition assessment of the existing trunk sewer and manholes. Other elements include preparation of plan and profile drawings, flow monitoring, hydraulic modeling, odor monitoring and mitigation, rehabilitation recommendations, and project delivery analysis. A Request for Proposal was sent to seven firms and seven proposals were received. Based on the overall qualifications and expertise, staff recommends awarding a PDSA to Brown and Caldwell for a total fee not to exceed $801,850. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS None. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Santa Ana Trunk Sewer was constructed in 1952 and is located in the cities of Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, and Fountain Valley. The upstream end of the Santa Ana Trunk Sewer begins at the intersection of Alton Avenue and Bristol Street in Santa Ana and the downstream end discharges into the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley. The sewer is primarily within the Alton Avenue right-of-way; however, there are segments within Ellis Avenue, Orange County Flood Control (including the Santa Ana River), 405 freeway, railroad right-of-way and Costa Mesa's Business District. The pipe consists of approximately 5,600 linear feet of 42-inch and 11,700 linear feet of 48-inch diameter unlined reinforced concrete pipe. The portion under the 405 freeway consists of 450 linear feet of 60-inch lined reinforced concrete pipe. Form No.DW-102 Revised: 01/11/10 Page 1 The reinforced concrete pipe is in various stages of deterioration. The Santa Ana Trunk Sewer Inspection Report published in January 2002 identified several major defects such as pipeline corrosion, ground water infiltration, exposed aggregate, intrusion of roots and concrete erosion. The crown of the pipeline exhibited the most severe corrosion with infiltration at various locations primarily due to joint separation accompanied by root intrusion and/or mineral like deposits. The 60-inch lined pipeline under the 405 freeway has bubbles or disbanding in the lining and needs thorough inspection. The intent of this project is to identify the sewer's condition and provide the most cost effective rehabilitation. Staff Evaluation of Proposals A panel consisting of four members of the Sanitation District's staff reviewed and ranked each of the proposals in accordance with Resolution No. OCSD 07-04, Section 5.07. The proposals were evaluated in the following six equally weighted categories: project approach and understanding of the scope of work, plan for managing and performing the work, staff qualifications, related experience, team organization and use of sub- consultants, and quality assurance/quality control plan. Staff also conducted interviews with the top three short-listed firms to meet the key team members and further explore the firm's proposal. Brown and Caldwell was the top ranked team. All proposals were accompanied by a sealed fee proposal estimate. The fee proposal estimates were not opened until the proposals were evaluated and a firm was selected, in accordance with Resolution No. OCSD 07-04, Section 5.07. Staff recommends awarding the design contract to Brown and Caldwell.

During this meeting, the proposed fee was reduced by $123,787. CEQA The project is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 21080.21, and categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15282(k) because it consists of actions less than one mile in length within a public street or highway and other public rights-of-way for the installation of a new pipeline and/or the maintenance, repair, restoration, reconditioning, relocation, replacement, removal, and/or demolition of an existing pipeline. The project is also categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 because it consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting and/or minor alteration of existing public structures, facilities, and/or mechanical equipment, involving no expansion of use beyond that currently existing. The recommended action is also categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15302 because it consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing (below-ground) structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site (within the same right of way) as the structure replaced, and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. The project is also within the scope of the Program Environmental Impact Report for the 1999 Strategic Plan, dated October 1999. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15168(c)(4), Sanitation District will use a written checklist to document its evaluation of the recommended action, and have determined that the recommended action is within the scope of the program EIR. BUDGET/DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY COMPLIANCE This complies with the authority levels in the Sanitation District's Delegation of Authority. The project budget is sufficient for the recommended action.

Ruth, General Manager Nick Arhontes, Director of Operations and Maintenance Originator: Carla Dillon, Engineering Supervisor GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1) Approve Change Order No. 3 to the Purchase Order No. 103610-OB, issued to U.S. Peroxide LLC, for Regional Odor and Corrosion Control Services, Specification No. C-2009-405BD for the period July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, to include all remaining renewal options, authorizing the addition of higher strength 65% weight calcium nitrate product for a delivered price of$2.470 per gallon plus tax; the addition of higher strength 44% weight ferric chloride product for a delivered price of$2.340 per gallon plus tax; the addition of higher strength 36% weight for ferrous chloride product at the unit price of$2.030 per gallon plus tax; an increase per gallon for 60% weight calcium nitrate, for a total unit price of $2.280 per gallon, plus tax; the increase of$0.178 per gallon for 34% weight ferrous chloride, for a total unit price of$1.958 per gallon, plus tax; and additional program services including project related system and dose site development, mobilization and demobilization charges, and odor control rental services. The additional services shall not exceed the total annual amount of$150,000; and, 2) Approve Change Order No. 2 to the Purchase Order No. 103611-OB, issued to Hill Brothers Chemical Company, for Regional Odor and Corrosion Control Services, Specification No. C-2009-405BD for the period July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, to include all remaining renewal options, authorizing an increase for Magnesium Hydroxide for a total unit price of $1.761 per gallon, plus tax, and additional program services including project related system and dose site development, mobilization and demobilization charges, and odor control rental services. The additional services shall not exceed the total annual amount of $150,000 for Hill Brothers Chemical Company; and, 3) Approve a 15% annual unit price and program price contingency. SUMMARY Odor and corrosion control methods are continuously being developed and improved upon. For this reason, O&M staff monitor industry best practices, evaluate the cost effectiveness of new methods and technologies, and conduct site-specific field trials for the odor and corrosion control program based upon changing flows in OCSD's trunk sewer system. With the approval of this change order, staff will have flexibility to adjust the program based on the market, trunk line system needs and any future changing Form No.DW-102.2 Revised: 01/11/2010 Page 1 regulations, environmental rules, costs or conditions all while maintaining our level of service of controlling hydrogen sulfide odors to 25 parts per million in headspace and 0.5 part per million of dissolved sulfides in the liquid phase. The chemical unit prices (in $/gal) include a portion for the product and a portion for support services. These support services include providing for rental equipment, labor for on-going corrective and preventative maintenance of the equipment, remote monitoring of the chemical and feed rates, optimization, and field sampling. OCSD currently purchases ferrous chloride of 34% weight, and the supplier and manufacturer have made available the higher product strength of 36% weight. The increase of $0.090 per gallon reflects this higher concentration product, which will enable reduced volumes for usage and fewer truck deliveries. This unit cost price increase does not reflect an actual material price increase, just an adjustment for a higher concentration solution. By increasing the strengths of these chemicals, this will allow OCSD to reduce the overall program cost resulting in a savings over the contract period. While improving the program's overall effectiveness, the additional chemical options of ferric chloride, 36% weight ferrous chloride, and 65% weight calcium nitrate provide OCSD with new options in the event of supply interruptions and new approaches that may provide an improvement over existing chemical treatment methods. An increase of $0.025 per gallon for the magnesium hydroxide product was submitted through the contract renewal process from OCSD's supplier, Hill Brothers Chemical Company. This increase is based upon a material product increase from the product manufacturer. The Contracts and Purchasing Division staff have determined the proposed cost increase is reasonable. The support services within the contract include dose site development, system mobilization/demobilization, and equipment rental services to provide the most expeditious and cost effective treatment approach. This will allow staff to conduct field trials of alternative treatment methods and to deploy odor and corrosion control treatment on short-term basis on an as-needed basis. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS On May 20, 2009, the Board awarded a contract to U.S. Peroxide, LLC, and to Hill Brothers Chemical Company for Regional Odor and Corrosion Control Services, Specification No. C-2009-405BD, and approved a 10% annual unit price contingency. On February 17, 2010, the General Manager released the 10% contingency for a unit price increase for ferrous chloride provided by U.S. Peroxide, LLC. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION These contracts were formerly bid out as one contract however; the respondents could not provide all chemicals that OCSD requested. For this reason, there will continue to be two contracts with two separate companies. Expanding OCSD's chemical and technology resources will benefit OCSD's ratepayers by increasing efficiency, allowing flexibility with changing conditions, increasing Form No.DW-102.2 Revised: 01/11/2010 Page 2 operational reliability, and reducing cost through the use of new products and less chemical. Management of odor and corrosion is a significant part of the services that OCSD provides to protect public health and the environment and manage its assets properly. The regional trunk line odor and corrosion control program reduces sulfides associated with odor generation and structural degradation within the regional trunk sewer lines. In addition, treatment in the regional trunks provides a secondary benefit of controlling hydrogen sulfide and odors entering the treatment plants. Newly designed capital projects at the treatment plants have been designed based upon continuous chemical treatment for odor control in the regional trunks. These upstream dosing activities are easily and cost effectively outsourced to turnkey service providers. Staff maintains a high degree of oversight for these providers with daily interaction at OCSD dosing facilities as well as program planning and detailed review of all invoices prior to approval for payment.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: James D. Herberg CIP Project Manager: Umesh Murthy GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 10-10, A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District, Making Findings Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 3400 in Support of the Sole Source Specification of Thickening and Dewatering Centrifuges (Sludge Thickening, Dewatering and Odor Control at Plant 1, Job No. P1-101). SUMMARY Public Contract Code § 3400 allows local agencies to draft bid specifications for public works that call for a designated product if the awarding authority, or its designee, finds that the product is designated "in order to obtain a necessary item that is only available from one source...." An item is available from only one source if there is not an "equal" product, meaning a product that will "function as well, in all essential respects" as the designated product. By necessary implication, if only two sources are available for a product, those two products may be specified to the exclusion of others. Sludge Thickening, Dewatering and Odor Control at Plant 1, Job No. P1-101, must be designed around centrifuges selected by the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District). HDR Engineering, Inc. is preparing the plans and specifications for the project, for which the construction contract is scheduled to be awarded in December 2011. Based on extensive investigation, Sanitation District staff have determined that GEA Westfalia Separator, Inc. (Westfalia) manufactures the only centrifuge meeting the Sanitation District's needs for co-thickening sludge, and Westfalia and Alfa Laval, Inc. (Alfa Laval) are the only manufacturers of centrifuges meeting the Sanitation District's needs for dewatering sludge. The estimated cost for the thickening centrifuges (total of three) is in the range of$6-7.5 million. The estimated cost for the dewatering centrifuges (total of three) is also in the range of$6-7.5 million. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS None. Form No.DW-102 Revised: 01/11/10 Page 1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Need for Centrifuges Summary of Solids Processing Constraints Currently, treatment of the influent wastewater generates primary sludge, which has a solids content of 3% to 5%, and secondary sludge, which has a solids content of 0.15% to 0.6%. The secondary sludge is thickened using dissolved air flotation thickeners (DAFTs) to about 4% solids. This thickened secondary sludge is blended with the primary sludge and fed to digesters. Digested biosolids are dewatered using belt presses to about 19% solids so that it can be trucked for reuse. As part of its long-range biosolids planning, the Sanitation District considered the following constraints: The amount of solids entering Plant No. 1 for processing (the "Plant 1 Load") is expected to increase from 245,000 pounds per day in 2012 to 306,000 pounds per day in 2030. Plant No. 1 will generate much more secondary sludge once new secondary facilities become operational in 2012. The Sanitation District's existing dewatering facilities (belt presses) were built in 1982 and 1988 and are reaching the end of their useful life. As depicted in Attachment "A", the Sanitation District faces severe space- constraints for new facilities at Plant No.1. The Proposed Project Accounting for these constraints, in 2003, the Sanitation District adopted a Long- Range Biosolids Management Plan recommending centrifuge sludge thickening to increase digester efficiency (instead of building more digesters for which there is not space) and centrifuge dewatering to increase the solids content of the Sanitation District's biosolids, resulting in fewer truck trips to off-site biosolids reuse facilities (instead of replacing the expiring belt presses). Sludge thickening using centrifuges will increase the percentage of solids in sludge going to the digesters from the current 3%-5% to 6-7%. Sludge dewatering using centrifuges will increase the percentage of solids in the biosolids from the current 19% to 27%-30%. This increase in biosolids solids content (dryness) will reduce the tonnage of biosolids generated at Reclamation Plant No. 1. The Sanitation District Requires Automated Thickening Adjustment Technology The Sanitation District will combine and co-thicken primary sludge and secondary waste activated sludge in a centrifuge before digestion, as depicted in Attachment "B". A centrifuge is roughly analogous to a residential clothes washing machine, in which clothes are soaked in water and the water is subsequently removed by spinning. In this case, a dilute influent sludge with relatively low solids content is Form No.DW-102 Revised: 01/11/10 Page 2 spun in the centrifuge and some of the water in the wastewater stream is removed, yielding higher solids content in the effluent product. Attachment "C" depicts a cut- away view of a thickening centrifuge. In co-thickening, the solids concentration and flow rates of both sludge streams will vary day-to-day and hour-to-hour. Consequently, the characteristics of the centrifuge feed sludge will change dynamically. Because of the Sanitation District's operational needs as a large, "always-on", complex treatment plant, the Sanitation District's thickening centrifuges must adjust automatically to changes in the sludge feed rate and solids content, without the need to routinely stop the centrifuge for manual adjustment. Likewise, because the thickening centrifuges are part of the treatment process critical path, the Sanitation District must obtain the thickening centrifuges from a manufacturer experienced in producing centrifuges of the size required by the Sanitation District with the automated adjustment mechanism. The Sanitation District's customers cannot risk a critical path failure of the sanitation system, which would be more likely to result from selection of an inexperienced manufacturer. Centrifuge Space and Operational Constraints As depicted in Attachments "A" and "D", the amount of space available for the digesters is very constrained. The Sanitation District does not require unique technology for its dewatering centrifuges for the project, as it does for the thickening centrifuges. The Sanitation District does, however, require dewatering centrifuges that can process up to 6,800 Ibs per hour of solids within the Sanitation District's fundamental physical space constraints. Also, as with the thickening centrifuges, the Sanitation District must obtain the dewatering centrifuges from a manufacturer experienced in automated dewatering processes. The Sanitation District cannot risk using an inexperienced manufacturer. The Proposed Manufacturers are the Only Source for the Necessary Items Investigation of Potential Manufacturers To determine the list of potential manufacturers, the Sanitation District engaged consultants as part of its design team with decades of experience in the wastewater centrifuge market. To ensure that their information was current, the team visited the International Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Refuse and Recycling and the Water Environment Federation Conference. These activities resulted in the evaluation of thickening and dewatering centrifuges available in the market from six manufacturers: Alfa Laval, Andritz, Centrysis, Flotweg, Siemens, and Westfalia. Form No.DW-102 Revised: 01/11/10 Page 3 Evaluation Criteria for Thickening Centrifuges, Criteria Application, and Additional Investigation Job No. P1-101 has the following necessary characteristics: 1. Co-thickening of primary sludge and waste activated sludge 2. Processing of primary sludge 3. Processing of waste activated sludge 4. Automated dynamic pond control 5. The ability to fit within a relatively small space (which can only be done with 40-inch centrifuge bowls) 6. Documented reliability with automated dynamic pond control when co-thickening The evaluation of thickening centrifuges centered on these criteria. The table below shows how the evaluation criteria were applied. Manufacturer Criteria 1 Criteria 2 Criteria 3 Criteria 4 Criteria 5 Criteria 6 Westfalia ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Andritz ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Alfa Laval ✓ ✓ ✓ Centrysis ✓ ✓ ✓ Flotweg ✓ ✓ ✓ Siemens ✓ ✓ ✓ In summary, Westfalia is the only manufacturer with a documented record of successful operation of thickening centrifuges for co-thickening of primary and waste activated sludge using automated variable pond depth control technology. Sanitation District consultants contacted and visited manufacturers and operating plants to determine the extent to which existing facilities were using thickening centrifuges in a manner consistent with the Sanitation District's needs. The results are as follows: Installation Criteria 1 Criteria 2 Criteria 3 Criteria 4 Criteria 5 Criteria 6 Passaic, NJ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Westfalia, 2001 Columbus, OH ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Andritz, 2010 (not operational) Phoenix ✓ ✓ ✓ Westfalia, 2005 Los Angeles ✓ ✓ ✓ Westfalia, 2010 (not operational) Columbia, MO ✓ ✓ Andritz Form No.DW-102 Revised: 01/11/10 Page 4 Because Andritz cannot show any experience with automated controls on thickening centrifuges used for co-thickening with the capacity required by the Sanitation District, it cannot establish that its centrifuges perform "as well" as the Westfalia centrifuges which are recommended to be specified. For reference, when the City of Los Angeles issued a solicitation for thickening centrifuges for co-thickening using automated variable pond depth control technology, it required a minimum of two years of experience at three separate installations. Although Andritz was the low bidder in response to that solicitation, the City of Los Angeles selected Westfalia because Andritz could not meet the experience requirement. Evaluation Criteria for Dewatering Centrifuges and Criteria Application The evaluation of dewatering centrifuges centered on the following criteria: 1. Whether the combined footprint of the centrifuges needed for capacity could fit within the limited space available for the centrifuges; 2. The quality of materials used to construct the centrifuges; 3. The manufacturer's experience with automated controls on dewatering centrifuges with the capacity required by the Sanitation District; and 4. The manufacturer's overall experience in the U.S. market. The table below shows how the evaluation criteria were applied. Criteria 1 Criteria 2 Criteria 3 Criteria 4 Manufacturer Westfalia ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Andritz ✓ ✓ Alfa Laval ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Centrysis ✓ ✓ Flotweg ✓ ✓ Siemens ✓ ✓ In summary, Westfalia and Alfa Laval are the only manufacturers with a documented record of successful operation of automated dewatering centrifuges which fit within the limited space available for the centrifuges.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: James D. Herberg CIP Project Manager: Victoria Pilko GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Authorize staff to negotiate Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Design Services Agreement with Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. for additional design services for the Newport Force Main Condition Assessment, Project No. 5-60. SUMMARY The scope of Newport Force Main Condition Assessment, Project No. 5-60, is to perform a condition assessment of the Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) network of force main piping in the City of Newport Beach. The condition assessment was to be done by constructing manholes along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and televising the piping from the inside. The Design Consultant is Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. (Malcolm Pirnie). Prior to design and construction of the manholes, staff conducted preliminary investigations of the piping. The findings revealed greater than anticipated deterioration of the network piping. This condition is consistent with deteriorated piping observed recently on the Bayside Drive Improvement Project at the same vicinity. Staff has determined that the force main piping along PCH in Newport Beach is in need of rehabilitation. Staff is recommending that no further work be done on the condition assessment and to move forward with the rehabilitation of the piping. Moving directly to design of the rehabilitation will reduce risk of piping failure, reduce traffic closure impact on PCH, and reduce redundant bypass pumping. The budget for this work was included in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget for 2010-11. Staff is requesting authorization to negotiate an amendment to the Professional Design Services Agreement (PDSA) with Malcolm Pirnie to add the pipe rehabilitation design to their existing scope of work. Malcolm Pirnie is qualified to perform the work and the continuation of services by retaining Malcolm Pirnie will expedite the project design and reduce project costs. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS February, 2009 —Awarded a contract to Malcolm Pirnie Inc., for the professional design services Newport Force Main Condition Assessment, Project No. 5-60, for an amount of $1,120,418 and approved a contingency of $112,042 (10%). Form No.DW-102 Revised: 01/11/10 Page 1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Staff has determined that the force main piping along PCH in Newport Beach is in need of rehabilitation. This is based on recent Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) inspections of the force main piping, along with corrosion studies conducted over the past several years. Rather than continuing with a lengthy and disruptive inspection along PCH, staff is requesting authorization to negotiate an amendment with Malcolm Pirnie to design the rehabilitation of the piping system. The major advantage of moving directly to the design stage is that it reduces the project to one construction period. This will significantly reduce costs, staffing, risks, schedule, and impacts to the public. This approach is supported by the City of Newport Beach. This project could proceed as originally planned, but would prolong the rehabilitation of a piping system that is known to be in deteriorated conditions. The request to negotiate an amendment with Malcolm Pirnie rather than issue a new Request for Proposal (RFP) is based on cost and time savings. Malcolm Pirnie has an existing contract with design work, and issuing an RFP for a new Consultant would increase staff labor costs and add 6-9 months to the schedule. Malcolm Pirnie is very experienced in pipe rehabilitation and is qualified to perform this work. The original scope of work included design of 12 manholes and a condition assessment of the Newport Force Main network piping system. The manholes not only gave the project team access to perform the condition assessment, but also allowed maintenance access in the future. The proposed scope eliminates the condition assessment, but adds rehabilitation design for the piping system. The scope for the manholes remains to allow for liner construction and future maintenance access to the piping system. The current PDSA for Malcolm Pirnie is $1,120,418. The estimated value of the amendment is approximately $1,000,000. After negotiations, staff will request approval of the amendment by the Board of Directors. CEQA This project was included in the Collection Projects Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared by Integrated Program Management Consultant on March, 2007. A Notice of Exemption was file on June 8, 2010. BUDGET/DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY COMPLIANCE This complies with the authority levels in the Sanitation District's Delegation of Authority. The project budget is sufficient for the recommended action. (FY 2010-11 Budget: Project 5-60 Line Item).

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Technical Services GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Authorize an agreement with OpenCEL, LLC, for installation of equipment and onsite proprietary testing of Plant No. 1 waste activated sludge treatment (Project No. SP-125-6), for a total amount not to exceed $1,700,000 upon successful installation and testing as follows: a) Authorize a turn-key installation of OpenCEL equipment and all necessary auxiliary equipment and utilities for an amount not to exceed $300,000; b) Approve a sole source lease purchase of OpenCEL equipment for onsite proprietary testing for a maximum of 36 months at a cost of$32,000 per month, and a down payment of $250,000; and, c) Authorize purchase of the OpenCEL equipment for a total amount not to exceed $1,400,000 upon successful testing. SUMMARY A proprietary process marketed by OpenCEL LLC treats sludge prior to anaerobic digestion to increase its digestibility, resulting in cost savings from increased digester gas production and reduced amounts of residual biosolids. Laboratory-scale tests using OCSD-provided sludge have indicated that the OpenCEL treatment could be effective, and payback periods of two to three years have been calculated for full installations at either treatment plant. A full-scale test of approximately nine months is expected to verify and document the benefits to OCSD. The manufacturer will provide and install equipment for OCSD to test under a lease purchase agreement that can be cancelled at any time by OCSD. The purchase price is $1,400,000; however, if the agreement is cancelled during the first 18 months of the agreement, the initial $250,000 down payment and 40% of the monthly lease payments previously paid will be returned to OCSD. The net liability to OCSD for a nine-month test, if not purchased, would not exceed $472,800, which consists of up-to $300,000 for equipment installation plus $172,800 Form No.DW-102.2 Agenda Report—Board Revised: 09/01/2009 Page 1 (the number of months multiplied by 60% of the monthly lease payments ($32,000 x 60%) totaling $19,200 per month or $172,800 for a nine- month test). If the equipment is purchased, all payments (monthly and down payment) will be applied to the purchase price. Permanent installation would be planned and managed under a separate CIP project. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS December 2008 — Received and filed the five-year Research Strategic Plan, which included the OpenCEL process evaluation as a planned project. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OpenCEL has been used successfully in a full-scale commercial installation at the wastewater treatment plant in Mesa, AZ, since 2007. Staff is recommending entering into a lease purchase agreement because the OpenCEL equipment is built to order for a customer, so no "demonstration" or "rental" units are available for full-scale tests. The alternative of hiring installation subcontractors directly was considered, but a turn-key installation overseen by OpenCEL was preferred to minimize the District's risk if the test is not successful. The installation includes some electrical and mechanical upgrades that will continue to be useful after the test is completed. CEQA This project is exempt under CEQA Section 15306.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 10-11, Delegating Authority to the General Manager to Act on Behalf of the Orange County Sanitation District with respect to the California State Association of Counties Excess Insurance Authority. SUMMARY The Orange County Sanitation District has purchased insurance from the California State Association of Counties Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC EIA) since 2003. CSAC EIA is a large risk pool wherein the Sanitation District as a member has certain rights, including voting rights. CSAC EIA has recently informed us that while they have contact names for us, they can find no Board resolution designating a person/position to act officially on behalf of the Sanitation District. The resolution provides this to CSAC EIA. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS March 2007 - Board approved: (a) the amended Joint Powers Agreement of the CSAC (California State Association of Counties) Excess Insurance Authority which superseded the California Public Entities Insurance Authority (CPEIA) that provided the District's excess workers' compensation insurance coverage, in a form approved by General Counsel; and, (b) the CSAC Excess Insurance Authority's amended Memorandum of Understanding for the Excess Workers' Compensation Program to incorporate non- county public entity membership in the program, in a form approved by General Counsel. July 2003 - Board approved the Joint Powers Agreement creating the California Public Entity Insurance Company and the CPEIA MOU for the Excess Workers Compensation Program.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 10-12, Adopting the Records Management Program Policy and Procedures, Retention Schedule and Record Series Definitions, Authorizing Destruction of Obsolete Records, and Repealing Resolution No. OCSD 09-07. SUMMARY The Sanitation District's Records Management Program is updated annually to meet new statutory regulations and agency changes to better serve the operational needs of OCSD. The Record Retention Review Committee, comprised of the Assistant General Manager, Clerk of the Board, Risk Management, Manager, Information Technology, General Counsel's Office, and the Records Management Specialist, has reviewed and recommend all the proposed changes. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS June 2009 - Board adopted Resolution No. OCSD 09-07, Adopting the Records Management Program Policy and Procedures, Retention Schedule and Record Series Definitions, Authorizing Destruction of Obsolete Records, and Repealing Resolution No. OCSD 08-06. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Sanitation District's Records Management Program documents how long various types of information are to be kept, as dictated by the legal, fiscal, audit and operational needs of the Sanitation District. As a public agency, there is an obligation to effectively manage and maintain the Sanitation District's information, most of which is classified as public information. Proposed changes for this update focus on the following: Addition of two new Record Series (RS): RS 267 — Specifications, Bid — Records of the precise details and description of the service or project to be completed, as bid. Office of Record is Asset Management, the format electronic and the retention is Closed + 6 years. Page 1 RS 268 — Specifications, Conformed — Records of the precise details and description of the service or project once completed. Office of Record is Asset Management, the format is electronic and the retention is Life of the Asset. Changes were approved on retention periods, reflecting operational use, for the following: RS 121 — Board Administrative Files from 2 years to 10 years RS 214 — Recorded Documents from Life of the Organization to Closed + 6 yrs RS 246 — IT Service Tickets from 7 years to 5 years RS 253 — Laboratory Data Backup Tapes from 10 years to 90 days Electronic format was added to a number of Record Series media identification due to OCSD's movement toward more electronic records and less in hardcopy/paper format. Various housekeeping changes were approved to existing Record Series, such as updating the Office of Record, due to Department/Divisional changes or minor changes to the definitions as requested by the business/operational unit for clarification. If a copy of the Records Retention Schedule or Record Series Definitions is desired, please contact Juanita Skillman, CRM, Records Management Specialist.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1) Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 10-13, Authorizing the Execution and Delivery by the District of a First Supplemental Trust Agreement and Replacement of the Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement with Lloyds TSB Bank as Credit Facility on the Orange County Sanitation District Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series 2000-A and Series 2000-13; Approving a Negotiated Agreement with Lloyds TSB Bank as Credit Facility on the Orange County Sanitation District Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series 2000-A and Series 2000-B; Authorizing the Distribution of a Remarketing Memorandum in Connection Therewith, and Authorizing the Execution of Necessary Documents and Related Actions; and, 2) That the Orange County Sanitation District Financing Corporation approve the draft documents supporting the Replacement of the Orange County Sanitation District Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series 2000-A and Series 2000-B, Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement. SUMMARY A Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement is an agreement with a commercial bank whereby the bank agrees to purchase demand bonds, or COPs, when the remarketing agent is unable to remarket to other parties, and is a requirement of the original Series 2000-A and Series 2000-B COP documents. On August 24, 2009, Dexia Credit Local Bank (Dexia) notified the District that it was exercising its option not to renew the Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement by and between the District and Dexia covering the Orange County Sanitation District Refunding Certificates of Participation (COP), Series 2000-A and Series 2000-B that is set to expire on August 31, 2010. The underlying reason given by Dexia is that the recent disruptions in the financial markets have caused them to reduce the amount of their market place exposure. Dexia was the original liquidity facility bank when the COP Series 2000 was issued under a seven-year agreement, and that agreement was extended an additional five years in 2005. The current agreement with Dexia requires an annual commitment fee, paid quarterly, equal to thirteen basis points of the total outstanding COP Series 2000-A and Series 2000-B debt. However, the ongoing global financial crisis has negatively impacted the financial strength and ratings of many financial institutions that provide bank liquidity Page 1 facilities securing variable rate bonds issued by municipal entities. As such, the number of liquidity facility banks has diminished, and those who have remained in the market place are now requiring a premium for products such as a standby certificate purchase agreement. Up until about a year ago, the annual commitment fee for this product was priced in excess of 100 basis points, or one percent, per year. Similar agreements for other California utilities in April and May of this year have priced at 65 to 85 basis points, depending on the number of years in the agreement. In April of this year, the District was approached by Lloyds TSB Bank offering to replace Dexia as the liquidity facility bank on the COP Series 2000-A and Series 2000-B debt. In the past, Lloyds TSB Bank had provided approximately $107 million in insured liquidity support to the District's COP Refunding Series 1992 that were redeemed in May 2008. Lloyds TSB Bank had initially proposed a negotiated commitment fee of 50 basis points for a two-year period and 60 basis points for a three-year commitment fee. After negotiating with Lloyds TSB Bank, the commitment fees were reduced by one basis point for both the two-year and three-year agreements, to 49 basis points and 59 basis points, respectively. District staff, in consultation with the District's financial advisor (Public Resources Advisory Group) believes that the fee would be higher if we were to bid the agreement out competitively (which Lloyds TSB Bank also discussed when providing its bids) and the District would best be served by the two-year negotiated agreement proposed by Lloyds TSB Bank, because (1) the fee proposed by Lloyds TSB Bank is extremely attractive in the current market and probably could not be improved upon in the open market; and, (2) future commitment fee rates in two years would more likely be lower than higher than current rates. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS August 2000 — Board approved the issuance of Refunding COP Series 2000-A and Series 2000-B, in the amount of$218.6 million. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Board of Directors and the Financing Corporation will each be required to adopt separate Resolutions to complete the substitution of this Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement. 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 as spelled out in the title as follows: Page 2 "A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY BY THE DISTRICT OF A FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL TRUST AGREEMENT AND REPLACEMENT OF THE STANDBY CERTIFICATE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH LLOYDS TSB BANK AS CREDIT FACILITY ON THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT REFUNDING CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION, SERIES 2000-A AND SERIES 2000-13; APPROVING A NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT WITH LLOYDS TSB BANK AS CREDIT FACILITY ON THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT REFUNDING CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION, SERIES 2000-A AND SERIES 2000-B; AUTHORIZING THE DISTRIBUTION OF A REMARKETING MEMORANDUM IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND RELATED ACTIONS." The Resolution of the Corporation is similar, 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 A FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL TRUST AGREEMENT AND A STANDBY CERTIFICATE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AS CREDIT FACILITY ON THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT REFUNDING CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION, SERIES 2000-A AND SERIES 2000-B AND; APPROVING A REMARKETING MEMORANDUM IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXECUTION OF THE STANDBY CERTIFICATE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF OTHER NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND RELATED ACTIONS."

The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payments 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.

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 SERIES 2000 CERTIFICATES—Rate Covenant"herein. The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payments 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 in the Installment Purchase Agreement, solely from Net Revenues and other funds provided for 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 Payments, 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.

THE SERIES 2000 CERTIFICATES General The Series 2000 Certificates are in the form of fully registered certificates in Authorized Denominations. The Series 2000 Certificates currently evidence interest at the Daily Rate. So long as the Series 2000 Certificates are in the DTC book-entry system, the interest, principal and prepayment premiums, if any, due with respect to the Series 2000 Certificates will be payable by the Trustee, or its agent, to DTC or its nominee. DTC, in turn, will make payments pursuant to its procedures and as described under APPENDIX D—"BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM." The Series 2000 Certificates are dated August 31, 2000. The Series 2000-A Certificates will mature on August 1, 2029 and the Series 2000-B Certificates will mature on August 1, 2030. During the Daily Rate Mode and Weekly Rate Mode,payment of interest with respect to the Series 2000 Certificates is payable on the first Business Day of each calendar month. While the Series 2000 Certificates are in the Daily Rate Mode or the Weekly Rate Mode, interest evidenced by the Series 2000 Certificates will be computed on the basis of the actual days elapsed and a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable. Upon satisfaction of the requirements provided in the Trust Agreement, the Series 2000 Certificates may be converted to the Weekly Rate Mode, Extended Rate Mode or the Fixed Rate Mode as provided in the Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest on Installment Payments evidenced by Provider Certificates shall accrue as provided in the Standby Agreement and the Trust Agreement. See APPENDIX C—"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Trust Agreement." Daily Rate Periods in the Daily Rate Mode are for one day. Weekly Rate Periods in the Weekly Rate Mode will be from Thursday of each week to but excluding Thursday of the following week, except that (i)in the case of a conversion of the Series 2000 Certificates to a Weekly Rate Mode from an Extended Rate Mode, the initial Weekly Rate Period upon such conversion shall be from the Conversion Date to but excluding Thursday of the following week, (ii)in the case of a conversion of the Series 2000 Certificates from a Weekly Rate Mode to an Extended Rate Mode, the last Weekly Rate Period will end on the Conversion Date, and (iii)in the case the Weekly Rate Mode is in effect as of the stated Principal Payment Date for the Series 2000 Certificates, the last Weekly Rate Period will end on such stated Principal Payment Date. 55621720.5 5 This Remarketing Memorandum describes terms of the Series 2000 Certificates only while they evidence interest in the Daily Rate Mode or the Weekly Rate Mode. There are significant differences in the terms of the Series 2000 Certificates evidencing interest in other interest rate Modes. This Remarketing Memorandum is not intended to provide information with respect to the Series 2000 Certificates evidencing interest in a Mode other than in the Daily Rate Mode or the Weekly Rate Mode. The Remarketing Agent determines the Daily Rate for each Daily Rate Period that is a Business Day not later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day. The Daily Rate for any Daily Rate Period that is not a Business Day is the Daily Rate established for the immediately preceding Business Day. The Remarketing Agent will determine the Weekly Rate for each Weekly Rate Period not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the last Business Day which is immediately prior to the commencement date of the Weekly Rate Period to which such Weekly Rate relates. The Daily Rate or Weekly Rate so determined will be the lowest rate of interest which, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, would cause the Series 2000 Certificates to produce as nearly as practicable a bid equal to the principal evidenced thereby, plus accrued interest evidenced thereby, under prevailing market conditions as of the date of determination of such Daily Rate or Weekly Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any Daily Rate or Weekly Rate exceed the Maximum Rate. Notice of Daily Rates shall be given by the Remarketing Agent to the Trustee by facsimile, electronic transmission or other similar means of communication (followed by notice in writing by an authorized officer of the Remarketing Agent) not later than 9:30 a.m. on the date of determination. Notice of Weekly Rates shall be given by the Remarketing Agent to the Trustee by facsimile, electronic transmission or other similar means of communication (followed by notice in writing by an authorized officer of the Remarketing Agent)not later than 5:00 p.m. on the date of determination. The Trustee shall inform the Owners of the Series 2000 Certificates and the Provider of each Daily Rate and Weekly Rate upon request. All determinations of Daily Rates and Weekly Rates as provided in the Trust Agreement will be conclusive and binding upon the District, the Trustee, the Provider and the Owners of the Series 2000 Certificates. The District, the Trustee, the Provider and the Remarketing Agent will not be liable to the Owner of any Series 2000 Certificate for failure to give any notice required above or for failure of the Owner of any Series 2000 Certificate to receive any such notice. No Variable Rate Period may extend beyond the Expiration Date. No Variable Rate Period may extend beyond the stated Principal Payment Date of the Series 2000 Certificates.

Insufficient Funds for Purchases. If the moneys available for purchase of Series 2000 Certificates pursuant to the Trust Agreement are inadequate for the purchase of all Series 2000 Certificates which are tendered on any Purchase Date, each Series 2000 Certificate subject to such purchase will continue in the same Mode as in effect with respect thereto on the day prior to the Purchase Date to the date on which the earliest of the following occurs: (i) the date of conversion of the Series 2000 Certificates to the Fixed Rate Mode; (ii) the date on which any default by the Provider under the Standby Agreement has been cured; or (iii) the date on which an Alternate Standby Agreement meeting the requirements of the Trust Agreement has been obtained. Upon the occurrence of an event listed above, (i)the Trustee will immediately (but no later than the end of the next succeeding Business Day) return all tendered Series 2000 Certificates to the Owners thereof and notify all Owners of Series 2000 Certificates in writing of the Mode to be effective with respect thereto (which will be the rate applicable to the Mode in effect with respect to the Series 2000 Certificates on the day prior to the Purchase Date), and(ii)the Trustee will return all moneys received for the purchase of such Series 2000 Certificates to the persons who provided such moneys. Book-Entry Tenders. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Trust Agreement to the contrary, all tenders for purchase during any period in which the Series 2000 Certificates are registered in the name of the Nominee (or the nominee of any successor Depository) will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Letter of Representations and any notices and regulations promulgated by DTC. Subject to such terms, conditions, notices and regulations, the Series 2000 Certificates may be tendered by means of a book-entry credit of such Series 2000 Certificates to the account of the Remarketing Agent; provided, however, that under certain circumstances notice of tender will be given by a Participant on behalf of the beneficial owner of such Series 2000 Certificates, and, provided further, that, if the Remarketing Agent notifies the Trustee that such Series 2000 Certificates have been remarketed pursuant to the Trust Agreement, such Series 2000 Certificates may be treated as being tendered upon a book-entry 55621720.5 10 transfer of such Series 2000 Certificates from the account of the tendering party to the credit of the account of the purchaser of such Series 2000 Certificates. Conversion to Other Modes Optional Conversion Between Variable Rate Modes. Subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, the District may convert the Series 2000 Certificates from the then current Variable Rate Mode to another Variable Rate Mode. In the case of conversion from the Daily Rate Mode to another Variable Rate Mode,the Conversion Date shall be an Interest Payment Date for the Daily Rate Mode. In the case of conversion from the Weekly Rate Mode to another Variable Rate Mode, the Conversion Date shall be an Interest Payment Date for the Weekly Rate Mode. In the case of a conversion from the Extended Rate Mode to another Variable Rate Mode, the Conversion Date will be the day following the last day of the Extended Rate Period. At the direction of the District, the Remarketing Agent will give written notice of any conversion to the Trustee and the Provider not less than five Business Days prior to the date on which the Trustee is required to notify the Owners of the conversion pursuant to the Trust Agreement. Such notice will specify(i)the proposed Conversion Date, (ii)the Mode to which the conversion will be made, and(iii) in the case of conversion to the Extended Rate Mode,the initial Extended Rate Period. Not less than 10 days prior to any such proposed Conversion Date,the Trustee will mail a written notice of the conversion to all of the Owners of Series 2000 Certificates. A copy of such notice will be sent to the District and the Provider. Such notice will set forth(i)the information set forth above, (ii)the Interest Payment Dates for the new Mode, (iii) in the case of conversion to the Extended Rate Mode, the initial Extended Rate Period, (iv)the dates on which the Remarketing Agent will determine and the Trustee will notify the Owners of the Variable Rate for the Variable Rate Period commencing on the Conversion Date, (v)that the Series 2000 Certificates are subject to mandatory tender for purchase (without the right to retain) on the proposed Conversion Date at a Purchase Price equal to the principal evidenced thereby plus accrued interest evidenced thereby, and (vi) that the Series 2000 Certificates will be deemed purchased on the proposed Conversion Date, and thereafter the Owner will have no further rights under the Trust Agreement except to receive such Purchase Price. The Variable Rate for the Variable Rate Period commencing on the Conversion Date will be determined by the Remarketing Agent in the manner and on the date provided in the Trust Agreement. In addition to determining the Extended Rate, the Remarketing Agent will determine a Weekly Rate at the time specified in the Trust Agreement, and give notice thereof to the Trustee and the Provider, which Weekly Rate will take effect,if required,pursuant to the Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding the delivery of notice of the conversion pursuant to the Trust Agreement, conversion to a new Variable Rate Mode will not take effect if. (i)the Remarketing Agent fails to determine a Variable Rate for the new Variable Rate Mode; (ii)any notice required by the Trust Agreement is not given when required; (iii)there is not delivered to the District, the Trustee and the Provider an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of the Conversion Date, to the effect that such conversion will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of interest evidenced by the Series 2000 Certificates for federal income tax purposes; (iv) such notice of conversion is rescinded by the District by written notice of such rescission to the Trustee, the Provider and the Remarketing Agent, which written notice is delivered prior to the applicable Conversion Date (if the Trustee receives notice of such rescission prior to the time the Trustee has given notice to the Owners of the Series 2000 Certificates,then such notice of conversion will be of no force and effect; if the Trustee receives notice of such rescission after the Trustee has given notice to the Owners of the Series 2000 Certificates, then the Series 2000 Certificates will automatically convert to the Weekly Rate Mode; any purchases of Series 2000 Certificates scheduled or required to take place on the proposed effective date of any Mode (being also the effective date of the automatic conversion to the Weekly Rate Mode as provided in the Trust 55621720.5 11 Agreement) will take place on such date; no Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with any. automatic conversion to the Weekly Rate Mode as provided in the Trust Agreement); (v)upon such conversion, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund, together with the amount available under all Reserve Facilities, would not be at least equal to the Reserve Requirement; (vi) in the case of conversion to an Extended Rate Mode, any Series 2000 Certificates in the Extended Rate Mode would be Provider Certificates, unless the Provider consents; or (vii) in the case of conversion to an Extended Rate Mode, the Trustee has not received a written notice from each of the Rating Agencies then maintaining a rating of the Series 2000 Certificates that the conversion to such Extended Rate Mode will not have an adverse effect on such Rating Agency's rating of the Series 2000 Certificates. Except if notice of conversion is rescinded by the District, in any such event, the Certificates will automatically be converted to the Weekly Rate Mode on the date such conversion was to be made, provided that any mandatory tender for purchase pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement relating to mandatory tenders on Conversion Dates will nevertheless be carried out if notice of the conversion pursuant to the Trust Agreement has been given to the Owners of the Series 2000 Certificates. No cancellation of a conversion pursuant to the Trust Agreement will constitute an event of default under the Trust Agreement. If the Remarketing Agent fails to determine the New Variable Rate, the Weekly Rate for such Series 2000 Certificates will be the per annum rate of interest determined on each Wednesday (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) by the Trustee which is 80% of the current bond equivalent yield for 91 day United States Treasury Bills sold at the last United States Treasury auction occurring prior to such day, which yield will be calculated in accordance with standard practices in the banking industry on the basis of the discount rates at which such bills were sold,but such rate must not exceed the Maximum Rate. Not less than 20 days (or such shorter period approved by the parties to receive the same)prior to the proposed Conversion Date,the District will give written notice to the Trustee,the Remarketing Agent and the Provider, setting forth (i)the election to convert the Series 2000 Certificates to the Fixed Rate Mode, and (ii)the proposed Conversion Date. As a condition of any such conversion, the Trustee, the Provider and the Remarketing Agent will receive concurrently with the notice, a letter from counsel that it expects to be able to deliver on the Conversion Date an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such conversion will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of interest evidenced by the Series 2000 Certificates for federal income tax purposes. The Trustee will mail a notice of the proposed conversion to all of the Owners of the Series 2000 Certificates. A copy of such notice will be sent to the District and the Provider. Such notice will be mailed not less than 10 days prior to the proposed Conversion Date. Such notice will set forth the proposed Conversion Date and state (i)that the Series 2000 Certificates are subject to mandatory tender for purchase(without the right to retain) on the proposed Conversion Date at a Purchase Price equal to the principal evidenced thereby plus accrued interest evidenced thereby, and (ii)that the Series 2000 Certificates will be deemed purchased on the proposed Conversion Date, and thereafter the Owner will have no further rights under the Trust Agreement except to receive such Purchase Price. The Remarketing Agent will determine the Fixed Rate for the Series 2000 Certificates by not later than 3:30 p.m. on the last Business Day that is at least five days prior to the Conversion Date. The Fixed Rate for Series 2000 Certificates will be the lowest rate (not in excess of the Maximum Rate) which, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent as of the date of determination and under prevailing market conditions, would cause the Series 2000 Certificates to produce as nearly as practicable a bid equal to the principal evidenced thereby, plus accrued interest evidenced thereby. Not later than 4:00 p.m. on the date of determination of the Fixed Rate, the Remarketing Agent will notify the Trustee by facsimile, electronic transmission or other similar means of communication (promptly confirmed in writing) of the Fixed Rate so determined. Such determinations will be conclusive and binding upon the District,the Trustee,the Provider and the Owners of the Series 2000 Certificates. The Trustee will notify 55621720.5 12 the District and the Provider by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing), telegram, telecopy, telex or other similar means of communication of the Fixed Rate so determined. The Remarketing Agent will offer for sale at par and use its best efforts to find purchasers for the Series 2000 Certificates required to be tendered upon conversion to the Fixed Rate Mode. The terms of any sale by the Remarketing Agent of such Series 2000 Certificates will provide for the sale thereof at par and the payment of the Purchase Price by the Remarketing Agent to the Trustee in immediately available funds against the delivery of the remarketed Series 2000 Certificates to the Trustee at or before 11:15 a.m. on the Purchase Date. Notwithstanding the delivery of notice of conversion, conversion to the Fixed Rate Mode will not take effect if: (i) the District withdraws such notice of conversion not later than the Business Day preceding the date on which the Fixed Rate is to be determined; (ii) the Remarketing Agent fails to determine the Fixed Rate; (iii) any notice required by the Trust Agreement is not given when required; (iv) there is not delivered to the District, the Trustee and the Provider an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of the Conversion Date, to the effect that such conversion will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of interest evidenced by the Series 2000 Certificates for federal income tax purposes; (v) upon such conversion, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund, together with the amount available under all Reserve Facilities, would not be at least equal to the Reserve Requirement; or (vi) upon such conversion, any Series 2000 Certificates in the Fixed Rate Mode would be Provider Certificates,unless the Provider consents. In any of such events, the Series 2000 Certificates will automatically be converted to a Weekly Rate Mode which will commence on the date such conversion was to be made, provided that the mandatory tender for purchase in connection with such conversion will nevertheless be carried out if notice of the conversion to the Fixed Rate Mode has been given to the Owners of the Series 2000 Certificates. Withdrawal of a conversion notice will be given by the District to the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent and the Provider, by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing. No cancellation of a conversion to the Fixed Rate Mode pursuant to the Trust Agreement will constitute an event of default under the Trust Agreement. If the Series 2000 Certificates are converted to a Weekly Rate Mode, and the Remarketing Agent fails to determine a Weekly Rate, the Weekly Rate will be the per annum rate of interest determined on each Wednesday(or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day)by the Trustee which is 80% of the current bond equivalent yield for 91 day United States Treasury Bills sold at the last United States Treasury auction occurring prior to such day,which yield will be calculated in accordance with standard practices in the banking industry on the basis of the discount rate at which such bills were sold,but must not exceed the Maximum Rate. Once the District has effectively exercised its option to convert the Series 2000 Certificates to the Fixed Rate Mode pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the District will have no further option to convert the Series 2000 Certificates to any other Mode, and the Series 2000 Certificates will no longer be subject to tender for purchase. Prepayment Provisions Optional Prepayment. While the Daily Rate Mode or the Weekly Rate Mode is in effect, the Series 2000 Certificates will be subject to prepayment prior to their stated Principal Payment Date, on any 55621720.5 13 Interest Payment Date,at the option of the District, as a whole or in part in Authorized Denominations pro rata among Series 2000-A Certificates with a stated Principal Payment Date of August 1, 2029 and Series 2000-B Certificates with a stated Principal Payment Date of August 1, 2030 if such Series 2000 Certificates have a Mandatory Sinking Installment Date that is the same as the Installment Payment Date of the Installment Payment so prepaid, from and to the extent of prepaid Installment Payments paid pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement, at a prepayment price equal to the principal evidenced thereby, plus accrued interest evidenced thereby to the date fixed for prepayment, without premium. Installment Payments evidenced by Provider Certificates shall be prepaid prior to the optional prepayment of any other Installment Payments pursuant to the Trust Agreement. Prepayments Pursuant to Standby Agreement. The District shall optionally prepay Installment Payments pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement at the times and in the amounts necessary to cause the prepayment of Provider Certificates as and when required by the Standby Agreement. Mandatory Sinking Fund Account Prepayment. The Series 2000-A Certificates with a stated Principal Payment Date of August 1, 2029 are subject to prepayment prior to their stated Principal Payment Date, in part, from Mandatory Sinking Account Payments, on each August 1 specified below, at a prepayment price equal to the principal evidenced thereby, plus accrued interest evidenced thereby to the date fixed for prepayment, without premium. The principal evidenced by such Series 2000-A Certificates to be so prepaid and the dates therefor shall be as follows: Mandatory Mandatory Date Sinking Fund Date Sinking Fund (August 1) Amount (August 1) Amount 2011 $ 5,800,000 2021 $700,000 2012 5,300,000 2022 700,000 2013 6,300,000 2023 700,000 2014 5,700,000 2024 800,000 2015 5,900,000 2025 800,000 2016 8,300,000 2026 800,000 2017 10,900,000 2027 900,000 2018 11,400,000 2028 900,000 2019 11,800,000 2029(1) 900,000 2020 12,300,000 Stated Principal Payment Date. The amount of each such prepayment will be reduced in the event and to the extent that Installment Payments payable on the corresponding Installment Payment Date are prepaid pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement and applied to the prepayment of Series 2000-A Certificates with a stated Principal Payment Date of August 1, 2029, in accordance with the Installment Purchase Agreement. The Series 2000-B Certificates are subject to prepayment prior to their stated Principal Payment Date, in part, from Mandatory Sinking Account Payments, on each August 1 specified below, at a prepayment price equal to the principal evidenced thereby, plus accrued interest evidenced thereby to the date fixed for prepayment,without premium. The principal evidenced by such Series 2000-B Certificates to be so prepaid and the dates therefor will be as follows: 55621720.5 14 Mandatory Mandatory Date Sinking Fund Date Sinking Fund (August 1) Amount (August 1) Amount 2011 $ 6,500,000 2021 $ 700,000 2012 6,000,000 2022 800,000 2013 7,000,000 2023 800,000 2014 6,400,000 2024 800,000 2015 6,600,000 2025 800,000 2016 9,200,000 2026 900,000 2017 12,200,000 2027 900,000 2018 12,600,000 2028 1,000,000 2019 13,200,000 2029 1,000,000 2020 13,700,000 20300) 2,000,000 (i) Stated Principal Payment Date. The amount of each such prepayment will be reduced in the event and to the extent that Installment Payments payable on the corresponding Installment Payment Date are prepaid pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement and applied to the prepayment of Series 2000-B Certificates in accordance with the Installment Purchase Agreement. Selection of Series 2000 Certificates for Prepayment. Whenever less than all the Outstanding Series 2000-A Certificates are to be prepaid on any one date, the Trustee shall select such Series 2000-A Certificates to be prepaid by lot in any manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate,which decision shall be final and binding upon the District,the Corporation,the Provider and the Owners. Whenever less than all the Outstanding Series 2000-B Certificates are to be prepaid on any one date, the Trustee shall select the Series 2000-B Certificates to be prepaid by lot in any manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate,which decision shall be final and binding upon the District, the Corporation,the Provider and the Owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Provider Certificates shall be prepaid prior to the prepayment of any other Series 2000 Certificates. The Trustee will promptly notify the District in writing of the numbers of the Series 2000 Certificates so selected for prepayment on such date. For purposes of such selection,any Series 2000 Certificate may be prepaid in part in Authorized Denominations. Notice of Prepayment. When prepayment of Series 2000 Certificates is authorized pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trustee will give notice, at the expense of the District, of the prepayment of the Series 2000 Certificates. The notice of prepayment will specify the Series 2000 Certificates or designated portions thereof(in the case of prepayment of the Series 2000 Certificates in part but not in whole)which are to be prepaid, the date of prepayment, the place or places where the prepayment will be made, including the name and address of any paying agent, the prepayment price, the CUSIP numbers assigned to the Series 2000 Certificates to be prepaid, and the numbers of the Series 2000 Certificates to be prepaid in whole or in part and, in the case of any Series 2000 Certificate to be prepaid in part only, the principal evidenced by such Series 2000 Certificates to be prepaid. Such notice of prepayment will further state that on the specified date there shall become due and payable upon each Series 2000 Certificate or portion thereof being prepaid the prepayment price and that from and after such date interest evidenced thereby will cease to accrue and be payable. The Trustee will take the following actions with respect to such notice of prepayment: At least 30 but not more than 45 days prior to any prepayment date, notice of prepayment will be given to the respective Owners of Series 2000 Certificates designated for prepayment by first-class mail, 55621720.5 15 postage prepaid, at their addresses appearing on the registration books maintained by the Trustee as of the close of business on the day before such notice of prepayment is given. At least 30 days before each prepayment date, notice of prepayment will also be given by (a) first-class mail, postage prepaid, (b)confirmed facsimile transmission, or (c)overnight delivery service,to the securities depository listed in the Trust Agreement. At least 30 days before each prepayment date, notice of prepayment will also be given by (a) first-class mail, postage prepaid, or (b) overnight delivery service, to each of the information services listed in the Trust Agreement. The actual receipt by an Owner or by any of the securities depositories or information services specified in the Trust Agreement of any notice of such prepayment shall not be a condition precedent to prepayment, and neither failure to receive such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the prepayment of such Series 2000 Certificates or the cessation of interest evidenced thereby on the date fixed for prepayment. A certificate by the Trustee that notice of prepayment has been given to Owners or to any of the securities depositories or information services specified in the Trust Agreement as provided therein shall be conclusive as against all parties, and no Owner whose Series 2000 Certificate is called for prepayment may object thereto or object to the cessation of interest evidenced thereby on the fixed prepayment date by any claim or showing that said Owner failed to actually receive such notice of prepayment. The Trustee will give notice of prepayment of any Series 2000 Certificates to be prepaid upon receipt of a Written Request of the District (which request will be given to the Trustee at least 45 days prior to the date fixed for prepayment). Upon surrender of any Series 2000 Certificate prepaid in part only, the Trustee will execute and deliver to the Owner thereof a new Series 2000 Certificate or Series 2000 Certificates evidencing the unprepaid principal of the Series 2000 Certificate surrendered. If notice of prepayment has been duly given as aforesaid and funds for the payment of the prepayment price of the Series 2000 Certificates to be prepaid are held by the Trustee, then on the Prepayment Date designated in such notice, the Series 2000 Certificates so called for prepayment will become payable at the prepayment price specified in such notice; and from and after the date so designated interest evidenced by the Series 2000 Certificates so called for prepayment will cease to accrue, such Series 2000 Certificates will cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under the Trust Agreement and the Owners of such Series 2000 Certificates will have no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the prepayment price; and such moneys will be pledged to such prepayment. The Trustee will, upon surrender for payment of any of the Series 2000 Certificates to be prepaid, pay such Series 2000 Certificates at the prepayment price thereof. All Series 2000 Certificates prepaid pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement will be canceled by the Trustee and will not be redelivered. Special Considerations Relating to the Series 2000 Certificates The Remarketing Agent is Paid by the District The responsibilities of the Remarketing Agent include determining the interest rate from time to time and remarketing Series 2000 Certificates of the applicable Series that are tendered by the owners thereof for optional or mandatory purchase (subject, in each case, to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement entered into by the Remarketing Agent), all as further described in this Remarketing Memorandum. The Remarketing Agent is appointed by the District 55621720.5 16 and is paid by the District for its services. As a result, the interests of the Remarketing Agent may differ from those of existing Owners and potential purchasers of Series 2000 Certificates. The Remarketing Agent Routinely Purchases Series 2000 Certificates for its Own Account. The Remarketing Agent acts as a remarketing agent for a variety of variable rate demand obligations in addition to the Series 2000 Certificates for which it serves as Remarketing Agent and, in its sole discretion,routinely purchases such obligations for its own account. The Remarketing Agent is permitted, but not obligated, to purchase tendered Series 2000 Certificates for its own account and, in its sole discretion, routinely acquires such tendered Series 2000 Certificates in order to achieve a successful remarketing of the Series 2000 Certificates (i.e., because there otherwise are not enough buyers to purchase the Series 2000 Certificates) or for other reasons. However, the Remarketing Agent is not obligated to purchase Series 2000 Certificates, and may cease doing so at any time without notice. If the Remarketing Agent ceases to purchase Series 2000 Certificates, it may be necessary for the Trustee to draw on the Standby Agreement. The Remarketing Agent may also make a market in the Series 2000 Certificates by routinely purchasing and selling Series 2000 Certificates other than in connection with an optional or mandatory tender and remarketing. Such purchases and sales must be at fair market value, which may be at or below par. However,the Remarketing Agent is not required to make a market in any Series 2000 Certificates. The Remarketing Agent may also sell any Series 2000 Certificates it has purchased to one or more affiliated investment vehicles for collective ownership or enter into derivative arrangements with affiliates or others in order to reduce its exposure to the Series 2000 Certificates. The purchase of Series 2000 Certificates by the Remarketing Agent may create the appearance that there is greater third party demand for the Series 2000 Certificates in the market than is actually the case. The practices described above also may result in fewer Series 2000 Certificates being tendered in a remarketing. Series 2000 Certificates May Be Offered at Different Prices on Any Date. Pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, the Remarketing Agent is required to determine the minimum rate of interest which, in its opinion, under then-existing market conditions, would result in the sale of the applicable Series 2000 Certificates at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof on the date the rate of interest is determined. At the time a new interest rate becomes effective, the Remarketing Agent is required to use its best efforts to remarket the applicable Series 2000 Certificates at par. Each interest rate will reflect, among other factors, the level of market demand for the applicable Series 2000 Certificates (including whether the Remarketing Agent is willing to purchase Series 2000 Certificates for its own account). There may or may not be Series 2000 Certificates tendered and remarketed on a date the rate of interest is determined, the Remarketing Agent may or may not be able to remarket any Series 2000 Certificates tendered for purchase on such date at par and the Remarketing Agent may sell Series 2000 Certificates at varying prices to different investors on such date or any other date. No Remarketing Agent is obligated to advise purchasers in a remarketing if it does not have third parry buyers for all of the Series 2000 Certificates at the remarketing price. If a Remarketing Agent owns any Series 2000 Certificates for its own account, it may, in its sole discretion in a secondary market transaction outside the tender process, offer such Series 2000 Certificates on any date, including the date the rate of interest is determined, at a discount to par to some investors. The Ability to Sell Series 2000 Certificates other than through Tender Process May Be Limited. The Remarketing Agent may buy and sell Series 2000 Certificates other than through the tender process. However, the Remarketing Agent is not obligated to do so and may cease doing so at any time without notice and may require Owners that wish to sell their Series 2000 Certificates to instead tender their Series 2000 Certificates through the Trustee with appropriate notice. Thus, investors who purchase the Series 2000 Certificates, whether in a remarketing or otherwise, should not assume that they will be able to sell their Series 2000 Certificates other than by tendering the Series 2000 Certificates in accordance with the tender process. 55621720.5 17 Under Certain Circumstances, a Remarketing Agent May Be Removed, Resign or Cease Remarketing the Series 2000 Certificates, without a Successor Being Named. Under certain circumstances, the Remarketing Agent may be removed, may resign or may cease its remarketing efforts, without a successor having been named, subject to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement and the Standby Agreement. SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE SERIES 2000 CERTIFICATES Installment Payments Pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement, the acquisition, construction and installation of certain improvements to the District's Wastewater System was acquired by the District from the Corporation. The District has covenanted to, subject to any rights of prepayment under the Installment Purchase Agreement, pay to the Corporation, solely from Net Revenues and from no other sources, the Purchase Price in Installment Payments, with interest thereon, as provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement. 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 Payments and the interest thereon payable under the Installment Purchase Agreement, will be incurred and secured. The obligation of the District to make the Installment Payments, and payments of interest thereon, and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement, solely from Net Revenues, is absolute and unconditional, and until such time as the Installment Payments, 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 Payments 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 Payments, 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 Installment Payments 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 Series 2000 Certificates substantially all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Installment Purchase Agreement, including its right to receive Installment Payments and the interest thereon. Simultaneously with the remarketing of the Series 2000 Certificates with the support of the Standby Agreement, the Provider will consent to certain amendments to the Trust Agreement and the Installment Purchase Agreement. Owners will purchase Series 2000 Certificates subject to such amendments. See APPENDIX C —"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS — Summary of Amendments"attached hereto. Limited Obligations The obligation of the District to pay the Installment Payments, and the interest thereon, and other payments required to be made by it under the Installment Purchase Agreement and Master Agreement, is a special obligation of the District payable, in the manner provided in the Installment Purchase Agreement, solely from Net Revenues and other funds provided for in the Installment Purchase Agreement, and does not constitute a debt of the District,the State or 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 Payments, 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 55621720.5 18 advantages, benefits, interests and security afforded Senior Obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE SERIES 2000 CERTIFICATES"herein. Parity Obligations The District has certain Existing Senior Obligations Outstanding payable from Net Revenues on a parity with the Installment Payments under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The term "Existing Senior Obligations" as used in this Remarketing Memorandum 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 2009A Installment Purchase Agreement, the 2009B Installment Purchase Agreement and the 2010A Installment Purchase Agreement and the term "Senior Obligations" as used in this Remarketing Memorandum refers to the Existing Senior Obligations and any additional Senior Obligations, such as the Installment Purchase Agreement, that may be made payable on a parity basis to the Installment Payments as provided in the Master Agreement. Senior Obligations,together with any Subordinate Obligations payable on a subordinate basis to the Installment Payments 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 "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE SERIES 2000 CERTIFICATES — Limitations on Issuance of Additional Obligations"herein, "FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS—Existing Indebtedness"herein and APPENDIX C —"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Master Agreement'attached hereto. Net Revenues The District is obligated to make Installment Payments solely from 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 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. Any Federal Subsidy payments received by the District will constitute Revenues as defined in the Master Agreement. See"DISTRICT REVENUES—Additional Revenues"herein. 55621720.5 19 The District's obligation to make the Installment Payments 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, including, without limitation, installment, lease or other payments 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 Payments 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 of 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. 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 55621720.5 20 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"above. 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. 55621720.5 21 Reserve Fund The Trust Agreement provides for the funding of the Reserve Fund in an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement, which is defined as an amount, as of any date, equal to the least of (i)the maximum amount of remaining Installment Payments, and the interest thereon, coming due in any one year; (ii)"10% of the proceeds of the issue" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the"Code"); and(iii) 125%of the average amount of remaining Installment Payments, and the interest thereon, coming due in each year; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating the Reserve Requirement, interest on Installment Payments evidenced by Series 2000 Certificates in a Variable Rate Mode shall be deemed to accrue interest at a rate per annum of 5.75%. Amounts in the Reserve Fund may be used to pay principal of and interest with respect to the Series 2000 Certificates to the extent that amounts in the Principal Account and Interest Account are insufficient therefor. The Reserve Fund is funded in an amount sufficient to satisfy the Reserve Requirement. See APPENDIX C— "SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS—Trust Agreement." Limitations on Issuance of Additional Obligations Senior Obligations.

This information has not been independently verified by the District. No representation is made by the District as to the accuracy or adequacy of such information or as to the absence of material adverse changes in such information subsequent to the date hereof. The Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lloyds Banking Group plc ("Lloyds Group"). The Bank and its subsidiaries comprise one of the leading United Kingdom-based financial services groups, whose businesses provide a wide range of banking and financial services in the United Kingdom and overseas. Availability of Public Information The Bank will provide, upon request,to each person to whom this Official Statement is delivered a copy of the most recently available (i) Annual Report and Accounts of the Bank and Lloyds Group and (ii) Annual Report on Form 20F of Lloyds Group. Written requests should be directed to the Bank at 1095 Avenue of the Americas, 34th Floor, New York, New York 10036; Attention: Structured Finance. Additional information (including full copies of each such Report and Accounts) is available from the Lloyds Group web site at http://www.investorrelations.Iloydsbankinggroup.com. Alternate Standby Agreement Under the Trust Agreement, the District may deliver to the Trustee an Alternate Standby Agreement, together with certain opinions and evidence from each rating agency then rating the Series 2000 Certificates that the substitution of the Alternate Standby Agreement will not, in and of itself,result in a reduction, suspension or withdrawal of such rating agency's rating on the Certificates. Notice of the proposed substitution of an Alternate Standby Agreement must be given to Owners in accordance with the Trust Agreement at least 45 days prior to the date of the proposed substitution. LIMITATIONS OF STANDBY LIQUIDITY FACILITIES The ability to obtain funds under the Standby Agreement in accordance with its terms may be limited by federal or state law. Bankruptcy, conservatorship, receivership and similar laws governing financial institutions or any issuer of a standby facility may prevent or restrict payment under such facility. To the extent the short-term rating on the Series 2000 Certificates depends in any manner on the rating of the Provider, the short-term ratings on such Series 2000 Certificates could be downgraded or withdrawn if the Provider were to be downgraded,placed on credit watch or have its ratings suspended or withdrawn or were to refuse to perform under the Standby Agreement. The obligation of the Provider under the Standby Agreement to purchase unremarketed Series 2000 Certificates is subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, and is also subject to all rights and defenses available to contracting parties generally. The Standby Agreement is not a guaranty to pay the purchase price of the Series 2000 Certificates tendered for purchase. The Standby Agreement is a general contract, subject to certain conditions and limitations, and is not a letter of credit. Purchasers of any Series 2000 Certificates should consult their legal counsel for an explanation of the differences between a general contract and a letter of credit or guaranty. The following is included as a summary of selected differences and does not purport to be complete or definitive. In general, a letter of credit is an independent, special contract by a Provider to pay a third party such as a bond trustee holding the letter of credit for the benefit of owners of such bonds. Providers are required by law to honor their letters of credit except in specified circumstances. If a dispute were to develop between a bank and its borrower, except in limited circumstances, the dispute should not 55621720.5 26 jeopardize payment under the letter of credit because (a) the letter of credit would be independent of the disputed contract between the borrower and the bank and (b) the beneficiary of the letter of credit (typically,the bond trustee)would have direct rights under the letter of credit. Further, and although there are defenses to payment of letters of credit, such defenses are limited by law to specified circumstances. In contrast, standby facilities providing liquidity are only general contracts. No law expressly requires performance of the contract, although the non-breaching party would be entitled to allowable damages if there were a breach of contract. Although the Trustee is authorized to draw funds in accordance with the Standby Agreement, the Provider has no independent obligation to the Trustee. If a dispute were to develop, the Provider would have all defenses allowed by law or in equity to its payment under or other performance of the Standby Agreement, including but not limited to disputes (whether valid or not) regarding the authority of any party to enter into or perform under the Standby Agreement. Laws regarding contracts allow more of such defenses than laws regarding letters of credit do. The Provider or the District may seek to have any future dispute resolved in court and appealed to final judgment before it performs under the Standby Agreement. Further, even if the District were to prevail against the Provider, a court would not necessarily order the Provider to perform under the Standby Agreement; it could instead award damages for breach of contract to the District. Any such award would not necessarily be in an amount sufficient to pay the purchase price of the Series 2000 Certificates. 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 211 mg/d of wastewater in Fiscal Year 2008-09. The District serves approximately 81% of the County population in approximately 480 square miles, or 60% 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. 55621720.5 27 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, 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 25 member Board of Directors is composed of representatives from 21 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, and 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 approximately 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, D.Env. 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 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, and served 20 years in supervisory positions with the State Water Resources Control Board and Regional Water Quality Control Boards, including 13 years serving as 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 55621720.5 28 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 with 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 20 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 24 years of public and private sector experience in protecting public health and the environment. 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 Remarketing Memorandum 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 480 square-mile area including 23 of the County's 33 cities and various 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$6.92 billion.

Sacramento, California, May 2009 for city population data; Orange County Sanitation District for population of unincorporated areas. Employees As of July 1, 2010, the District had 596 represented and non-represented employees. Most of the District's employees are represented by recognized employee organizations,which include the following: the Orange County Employees Association ("OCEA"), representing administrative/clerical, technical services and engineering employees since 1979, the International Union of Operating Engineers —Local 501 ("Local 501"), representing operations and maintenance employees since October 1985, and the Peace Officers Counsel of California representing the Supervisor Group and the Professional Group 55621720.5 30 supervisory and professional employees since 1991. Total represented employees as of July 1, 2010 numbered 551 (92%) as follows: 96 (17.4%) were represented by the OCEA, 202 (36.6%) were represented by Local 501 and 253 (46%) were represented by the Supervisor and Professional Groups. New agreements with each of these employee organizations took effect on July 1, 2007. The OCEA and Local 501 agreements are in effect through June 30, 2011; the Supervisor and Professional Group agreements are in effect through June 30, 2011. The Supervisor Group and Professional Group agreements expired June 30, 2010. Negotiations with these groups are currently in progress. The District has historically enjoyed a good working relationship with its employee organizations and has experienced no work stoppages by represented personnel since the early 1980s. Retirement Plan The District participates in the Orange County Employees 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 11 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, they will fully provide for all covered employees' benefits by the time they retire.

Source: Orange County Sanitation District. 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's retirement program currently includes Additional Retiree Benefit Account ("ARBA")benefits. ARBA benefits provide a monthly payment to retirees towards the premium costs of health insurance for the retiree and eligible dependents. The retiree is not required to use this amount for health insurance premium or to remain on the OCERS medical plan. Benefits vest upon retirement after qualifying public service of ten years. The District pays 100% of the cost for the ARBA plan and utilizes a pay-as-you-go method for funding the plan. 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. 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 In June 2004, Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") issued Statement No. 45, which requires state and local governmental employers to fund the actuarially determined annual required contribution ("ARC") for its post-employment benefits other than pension benefits (known as other post- employment benefits or"OPEB") or record the entire amount of the unfunded liability of its OPEB in its financial statements. OPEB includes healthcare and life insurance expenses and related liabilities, and an 55621720.5 32 annual required contribution to fund such liabilities. The District adopted Statement No. 45 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2007, as required of a GASB "Phase 1 Agency." According to the District's actuary, Demsey Filliger Associates (the "Actuary"), the unfunded OPEB liability as of July 1, 2009 is approximately $8.8 million. The ARC is $800,000 as of July 1, 2009. 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 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 (except that employment practice liability is $500,000), with excess general liability coverage up to $30 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, 2009 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 a portion of 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. 55621720.5 33 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. Table 4 below sets forth the treatment plants' approximate current and future treatment capacities.

(1) The District's "Planned Total Capacity" is based on the 2009 Facilities Master Plan for planned capacity by 2020, which estimated the District's requirements to meet future expected primary and secondary capacity demands. 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 55621720.5 34 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 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 limit 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 District is also subject to the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act (Clean Air Act) which mandates attainment with national ambient air quality standards for criteria pollutants (ozone, particulate matter (PM 10), carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide). Criteria air pollutants cause adverse effects on human health and environment The South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) is the local air pollution control agency charged with implementing the Federal Clean Air Act. In addition to criteria pollutants, AQMD also implements numerous federal and state requirements related to the toxic air pollutants which can cause cancer or other severe localized health effects. The State's Air Toxic Hot Spots Act, for example,requires facilities to conduct health risk assessments and notify the neighboring communities if the health risk exceeds the regulatory thresholds. Pursuant to AQMD's requirements, the District must obtain permits before sewage treatment improvement projects can be constructed and operated. Such permits are project specific and may contain conditions that govern design criteria, operating parameters, and emissions standards. Most of the District's treatment facilities are enclosed in order to capture and treat emissions to meet regulatory emissions standards and to minimize odor impact to the neighboring communities. In addition, the District has developed the Air Toxic Emissions Reduction Strategic Plan in 2007 which evaluated the health risk impacts and risk reduction alternatives for Calendar Year 2012 when all 55621720.5 35 treatment plant upgrades and improvements planned for completion were in place The District currently has all necessary AQMD permits to operate the Wastewater System. 2009 Facilities Master Plan and Capital Improvement Program The District's 2009 Facilities Master Plan(the "Master Plan") was completed and adopted by the Board of Directors in December 2009. The Master Plan updated the planning processes set forth in the 1989 Master Plan, the 1999 Strategic Plan, and the 2002 Interim Strategic Plan Update. The Master Plan also incorporates and implements the levels of service defined by the OCSD Board of Directors that are included in the District's 2009 Five-Year Strategic Plan. The result is a plan that integrates research, facilities planning, water conservation and reclamation, sludge reuse, other wastewater programs and financial planning into a single unified approach. A key component of the Master Plan was the updating of flow projections and the collection system hydraulic modeling. A capital improvement program was developed to implement the required sewer capacity and rehabilitation improvements through the year 2030. The Master Plan continues to support the July 17, 2002 Board of Directors' 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 complete these improvements by December 2012 at a total capital improvement cost of $627.1 million to reach secondary treatment discharge standards. In the interim, the District operates the plants to maximize available secondary treatment and to reduce effluent biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solid discharges below currently allowed limits. The District annually reviews and validates 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, anticipated rehabilitations and replacements, additional treatment requirements, conservation, energy and other resource savings considerations, odor control improvements, and air quality protection needs. Through 2030,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; • Replace and rehabilitate 15 of the District's outlying pumping stations, and 26 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. The 2010 CIP validation resulted in proposed revisions to the CIP. The proposed CIP currently consists of 176 individual capital projects through Fiscal Year 2030-31 at a total cost of$3.255 billion, 55621720.5 36 approximately $1.331 billion of which has been spent to date. The bulk of construction is scheduled during the next five years, with average annual expenditures of $178 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 2010-11 through 203 0-3 1 is set forth in Table 5 below. Table 5 Capital Improvement Program—Estimated Costs Fiscal Years 2010-11 through 2030-31 Proiect Cost Collection System Capacity $ 163,714,400 Collection System Repair,Rehabilitation,Replacement 345,518,350 Treatment Plant Capacity 228,092,650 Additional Secondary Treatment 193,106,000 Improved Treatment 188,012,400 Treatment Plant Repair,Rehabilitation,Replacement 681,057,800 Support Facilities 125,180,400 Total Validated Capital Improvement Program $1 924,682,000 Source: 2010-12 Draft Budget,Orange County Sanitation District. The proposed CIP contains expenditures of $182.0 million in Fiscal Year 2010-11 and $122.6 million in Fiscal Year 2011-12, respectively. The largest cash outlay planned for plant facilities in Fiscal Year 2010-11 is $32.5 million for a new secondary treatment system at Reclamation Plant No. 1 (total project cost is expected to be $260.3 million). The proposed CIP's largest collection system project for Fiscal Year 2010-11 is $11.8 million for the replacement of Bitter Point Pump Station. The largest cash outlay for plant facilities in Fiscal Year 2011-12 is $18.3 million for the rehabilitation of the digesters at Reclamation Plant No. 1 (total project cost is expected to be $55.5 million). For Fiscal Year 2011-12,the largest project is $9.1 million for the upgrade of the Dover Drive Trunk. 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. [does the CIP include plans for such connections?] 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 capital cost of this Phase was shared 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. Phase I of the GWRS became operational in January of 2008 with an expected water production of 72,000 acre-feet per year once all secondary treatment facilities are online. In 2009, GWRS produced a total of 61,000 acre-feet. Phase 2 expansion is under design to add about 33,000 acre-feet per 55621720.5 37 year. Phase 2 and all fixture phases will be funded solely by OCWD and could expand capacity up to a total capacity of 145,600 acre-feet per year. 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 fall 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)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 ranging from $5.3 million to $7.2 million for additional chemicals from the operating budget of the District. Following the 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 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 two and one-half years and require approximately $330.5 million to complete the additional secondary treatment capacity project. 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. Biosolids Management The District produces digested and dewatered biosolids. Biosolids production is anticipated to peak in 2013 at approximately 675 tons per day (tpd) when new secondary treatment processes are fully operational, and then decline to approximately 625 — 650 tpd in 2014 when IRWD's solids processing facilities commence operation and the installation of centrifuges is completed at the District. The District relies on the following technologies and locations for the management of its biosolids: land application of biosolids in Arizona, manufacturing composted soil amendment in Kern County, California, and La Paz County, Arizona, and conversion to a renewable coal substitute e-fuel in Rialto, California. The District has fail-safe back-up options in Arizona that include land application recycling and landfill disposal. Together, these options have the capacity to manage 7-8 times the District's daily biosolids production to ensure consistent and reliable operations. The District's Long-Range Biosolids Management Plan ("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. 55621720.5 38 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. 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. 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 and is still in the commissioning phase of the project. Currently, the balance of the biosolids not managed by either Synagro or EnerTech is being managed by Tule Ranch pursuant to a five-year contract by either land application or landfill disposal (as a fail-safe back-up)in Arizona. As a result of the transition to compost and energy products the cost to the District for biosolids management increased from $13.5 million in Fiscal Year 2007-08 to an estimated $20.1 million in Fiscal Year 2011-12. However,biosolids management has not increased to the level that the District anticipated because of various process improvements, new and rehabilitated facilities, and the nitrification project. The District recently reduced its projections of biosolids production by approximately 100 tons per day. 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. Orange County's'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 discharges of pollutants to tributaries and recreational water bodies in Orange County by issuing a Storm Water Permit to the County of Orange (Permiee) and cities within Orange County (as co-permittees). To comply with the provisions of the permit and help protect Orange County's water resources, the County of Orange 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. 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 55621720.5 39 M 8.3 earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault, while on the whole more destructive than the M 7.0 Newport-Inglewood fault, may 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 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 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 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 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. No assurance can be given that any such events would not 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 2008, 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 October 2009, the staff-generated ideas were presented to the Board of Directors for discussion and deliberation of changes and additions to the Five-Year Plan. In November 2009, 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 2008 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. 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. 55621720.5 40 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 (which has been completed) 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 also 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. • 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. 55621720.5 41 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, except within Revenue Area No. 14, based on the cost of services and facilities provided to each customer of the District,. The noticed public hearing held in connection with the 2002 Ordinance considered increases in the amount of the annual charges 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 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 10.4% 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.

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 $2.51 billion, approximately $1.5 billion of which has been spent as of December 31, 2009. The bulk of the remaining construction is scheduled during the next five years,with average annual expenditures of approximately$160 million. 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 $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, $65.2 million in Fiscal Year 2007-08 and $66.4 million in Fiscal Year 2008-09. 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 $60.3 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 $3,261 per residential unit (three-bedroom); however, under the current industrial use 55621720.5 44 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). 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 1970s. 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. Projected revenues from SAWPA range from$6.3 million to $7.5 million over the next five years. Additional treatment plant capacity can be purchased in increments at the District's current replacement cost. Federal Subsidy Payments. In connection with Senior Obligations executed and delivered by the District in 2010 as "build America bonds," the District will receive certain federal subsidy payments ranging from $ to $ annually, until 2040. Such subsidy payments will constitute Revenues as defined in the Master Agreement. Wastewater Treatment History The average yearly influent flow to the District has remained relatively stable for the preceding four years. The wastewater flows for Fiscal Year 2005-06 through Fiscal Year 2008-09 were 235 mg/d, 229 mg/d, 221 mg/d and 211 mg/d, respectively. The highest flow rate experienced was during El Nino 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 and Table 9 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 Table 8 equate to total Sewer Service Charge levies while the EDUs set forth in Table 9 equate to total sewer service charge collections. 55621720.5 45 Table 8 Historical and Projected Equivalent Dwelling Units Fiscal Years 2004-05 through 2013-14 Historical Projected Fiscal Year EDUs') Fiscal Year EDUs 2004-05 893,501 2009-10 930,164 2005-06 910,469 2010-11 925,037(2) 2006-07 907,986 2011-12 927,812(3) 2007-08 911,033 2012-13 930,595(3) 2008-09 921,782 2013-14 933,3870) (') With respect to such Fiscal Years, presentation in the Statistical Section of the District's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report set forth in Appendix A includes EDUs that equate to total Sewer Service Charge collections rather than 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. 55621720.5 47 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 8.14 2008-09 307.6 5.08 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. 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 increased by $14.9 billion, or 5.08%, 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 recent 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 recent 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. 55621720.5 48 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 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. 55621720.5 49 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. Reserves The District has an established reserve policy with eight separate categories for its reserve funds. Collectively, these individual reserve requirements total over $448 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$40 million of the accumulated total, or approximately 8 percent. 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.

(2) $90.7 million of such amount is restricted by covenant for specific obligations. A portion of this $90.7 million amount is available to pay the Series 2000 Certificates. [how much?] Source: Orange County Sanitation District. All of the categories of District reserve funds described above are available to pay principal of and interest with respect to the Series 2000 Certificates if Net Revenues are insufficient, other than a portion of the $90.7 million in Debt Service Required Reserves that are restricted by covenant for other obligations of the District. 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 55621720.5 50 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 $6.92 billion. The initial reserve level for this fund was established 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.

Projected Operating Data Set forth in Table 15 below are projected operating results for the District for Fiscal Years 2009- 10 through 2013-14. These projections assume the number of projects and scheduled build out set forth in the 2010 CIP Validation Study, and reflect Board-approved annual increases in sewer service rates of 10%, 10%, 9.8% and 9.8% over the first four years and an estimated 7% (which has not yet been approved by the Board) for Fiscal Year 2013-2014. Principal expenditure components of these projections are derived from the 2010 CIP Validation Study, which identified 176 individual capital projects through Fiscal Year 2030-31 at a total cost of $3.255 billion, approximately $1.331 billion of which has been spent to date. The bulk of construction is scheduled during the next five years, with average annual expenditures of $178 million. The District's CIP cash flow budget for Fiscal Year 2009-10 is $259.1 million. This CIP budget finances joint works treatment and disposal system improvement projects, and collection system improvement projects. 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 55621720.5 52 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. Numbers presented under this heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operating Data" are budget-based and may differ from the projections set forth on Table 15 herein. The Fiscal Year 2009-10 operations budget for the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater is $156.1 million, a $7.4 million increase from the prior year budget of$148.7 million. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in personnel costs and are necessary to be in compliance with the terms of the existing employee contract agreements as the authorized full time equivalent staffing levels have remained at approximately 640. Personnel costs increased $8.0 million, or 9.5%. The contractual services budget remained flat at $28.5 million. The major component of this category is biosolids removal and transport costs totaling $20.6 million. Contracts have been executed with firms for agricultural reuse of residual solids. The utility budget of$9.8 million increased by only 1.0%, as utility rates are expected to remain basically flat in comparison with the prior year. Electricity is the largest utility cost incurred by the District and is used to run the plant processes. In preparation for the Fiscal Year 2008-09 budget, strategic planning workshop were held by the Board of Directors to layout a capital program to deliver the levels of service desired by the Board. These levels of service and resulting capital projects are included in the District's Five-Year Strategic Plan, and include approximately$50 million of new CIP over the next ten years. In addition,District staff reviewed each ongoing CIP project to ensure that the scope of the project remains appropriate, and that the cost estimates have been accurately updated. The Fiscal Year 2009-10 CIP cash flow budget was approved at $259.1 million. The Fiscal Year 2009-10 CIP includes three projects totaling $627 million over the life of the CIP to upgrade the District's treatment plants to meet secondary treatment standards. This CIP also includes the identification of 21 new future rehabilitation and replacement projects based on the District's condition assessment program. These future CIP needs will increase the amount of the overall CIP Program by $118 million but will not further impact future user rates as these rehabilitations, renewals, and replacements have already been anticipated in the District's current ten year cash flows. Over this 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 55621720.5 54 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." 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. As of March 1,2010,the District's externally managed fund consisted of a short-term investment portfolio of$54.7 million with an average maturity of 55 days, and a long-term investment portfolio of $223.0 million with average maturities of 2.7 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 August 1, 2010. 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. The District has no outstanding general obligation bonds.

In connection with the execution and delivery of the above-referenced outstanding certificates of participation, the District entered into certain installment purchase agreements, or equivalent documents, providing for the payment of installment payments or similar payments. Variable Rate Obligations In August 2000, the District caused the execution and delivery of the 2000-A Certificates and the 2000-B Certificates in the original aggregate principal amount of$218,600,000, of which$194,000,000 is currently outstanding. 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 Credit Local, acting through its New York Agency. The 2000 Standby Agreement currently expires on August 31, 2010 and is being replaced with the Standby Agreement to be delivered by the Provider on or about August 25,2010. The Standby Agreement constitutes a Credit Facility Agreement under the Master Agreement. The obligation of the District to repay amounts drawn on or paid under the 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 portions of the CIP. Over the next three years, the District expects to incur further Additional Senior Obligations in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $235 million for the purpose of funding the capital improvement program. The District may also refinance outstanding obligations from time to time.

The Corporation's purpose is to render assistance to the District in its acquisition of equipment, real property and improvements on behalf of the District. Under its articles of incorporation, the Corporation has all powers conferred upon nonprofit public benefit corporations by the laws of the State, provided that it will not engage in any activity other than that which is necessary or convenient for, or incidental to the purposes for which it was formed. The Corporation is a separate legal entity from the District. It is governed by a twenty-five member Board of Directors. The Corporation has no employees. All staff work is performed by employees of the District. The members of the Corporation's Board of Directors are the Board of Directors of the District. The District's Director of Finance and Administrative Services and other District employees are available to provide staff support to the Corporation. The Corporation has not entered into any material financing arrangements other than those referred to in this Remarketing Memorandum. Further information concerning the Corporation may be obtained from the Orange County Sanitation District office at 10844 Ellis Avenue, Fountain Valley, California, 92708-7018. 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 "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 55621720.5 59 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 Remarketing Memorandum 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. 55621720.5 60 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. 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 III had been in effect. The District does not anticipate that any such appropriations limitations will impair its ability to make Installment Payments as required by the Installment Purchase Agreement. Proposition 1A Proposition IA ("Proposition IA"), 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 IA 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 I 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 IA 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. For Fiscal Year 2009-10, approximately $5 million of the District's property tax revenues were diverted to the State as a result of a Proposition lA suspension. The District participated in a Proposition IA Securitization Program (the "Program") sponsored by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority. The Program allowed the District to exchange its anticipated State property tax receivable for cash. 55621720.5 61 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 lA 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. 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 CalAth 409 (2004) ("Richmond"), and Bighorn- Desert View Water Agency v. Verjil, 39 CalAth 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. 55621720.5 62 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 a 15% rate increase per year, for each year, over the then following five years, upon 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 10.4%, 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 55621720.5 63 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 Installment Payments 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.

ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT By: /s/Larry Crandall Chair of the Board of Directors 55621720.5 66 APPENDIX A COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 55621720.5 A-1 APPENDIX B THE COUNTY OF ORANGE -ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION 55621720.5 B-1 APPENDIX C SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS 55621720.5 C-1 APPENDIX D BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM The description that follows of the procedures and recordkeeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the Series 2000 Certificates, payment of principal and interest evidenced by the Series 2000 Certificates to Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in the Series 2000 Certificates, and other Series 2000 Certificate-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 "Series 2000 Certificates"). The Series 2000 Certificates 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 certificate was executed and delivered for each series of the Series 2000 Certificates in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and was 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 Series 2000 Certificates under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants,which will receive a credit for the Series 2000 Certificates on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2000 Certificate (`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 Series 2000 Certificates are to be accomplished by entries made on 55621720.5 D-1 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 Series 2000 Certificates, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Series 2000 Certificates is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2000 Certificates 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 authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Series 2000 Certificates 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 Series 2000 Certificates; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2000 Certificates 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 Series 2000 Certificates may wish to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Series 2000 Certificates, such as prepayments, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Series 2000 Certificates may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Series 2000 Certificates 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 Series 2000 Certificates 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 Series 2000 Certificates 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 Series 2000 Certificates are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Prepayments with respect to the Series 2000 Certificates 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 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. 55621720.5 D-2 DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Series 2000 Certificates 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, Series 2000 Certificates 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, Series 2000 Certificates 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. Discontinuance of DTC Services In the event(i)DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the Series 2000 Certificates, (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 Series 2000 Certificates 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 Series 2000 Certificate for each of the maturities of the Series 2000 Certificates, 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 Series 2000 Certificates 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 Series 2000 Certificates 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 Series 2000 Certificate as the absolute owner of such Series 2000 Certificate for all purposes, whether or not such Series 2000 Certificate 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 Series 2000 Certificate shall be made only to such Owner, which payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability evidenced by such Series 2000 Certificate to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. Whenever any Series 2000 Certificates shall be surrendered for transfer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver new Series 2000 Certificates 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. Series 2000 Certificates may be presented for exchange at the Principal Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of Series 2000 Certificates 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 Series 2000 Certificate during the period in which the Trustee is selecting Series 2000 Certificates for prepayment,nor shall the Trustee be required to transfer or exchange any Series 2000 Certificate or portion thereof selected for prepayment from and after the date of mailing the notice of prepayment thereof. 55621720.5 D-3 APPENDIX E APPROVING OPINION 55621720.5 E-1 Fulbright& Jaworski L.L.P.—Draft 07/07/10 APPENDIX B THE COUNTY OF ORANGE—ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION The County is bordered on the north by Los Angeles County, on the east by Riverside County,on the southeast by San Diego County and on the west and southwest by the Pacific Ocean.

Housing Characteristics The total number of housing units in the County was estimated by the California State Department of Finance to be 1,040,544 as of January 1, 2010. This compares to 1,035,536 reported by the Department of Finance in January of 2009. According to the Southern California Multiple Listing Service, the median sale price of single-family dwelling units in Orange County was $548,500 in May of 2010, an 11.9%increase from the prior year. Building Permits The total valuation of building permits issued in the County reached $1.8 billion in 2009. Table B-8 provides a summary of residential building permit valuations and the number of new dwelling units authorized in the County during the period 2005 through 2009.

Water Supply Maintaining the County's water supply is the responsibility of the Orange County Water District ("OCWD"), manager of the County's groundwater basin, and the Municipal Water District of Orange County ("MWDOC"), the County's largest manager of imported water. More than 60% of the County's water is from local groundwater sources; the rest is imported. The County's natural underground reservoir is sufficient to carry it through temporary shortfall periods, but local supplies alone cannot sustain the present population. Recreation and Tourism The County is a tourist center in Southern California because of the broad spectrum of amusement parks and leisure, recreational and entertainment activities that it offers. These tourist attractions are complimented by the year-round mild climate. Along the County's Pacific Coast shoreline are five state beaches and parks, five municipal beaches and five County beaches. There are two small-craft docking facilities in Newport Harbor, a third located at Sunset Beach and a fourth at Dana Point. Other major recreational and amusement facilities include Disneyland, Disney's California Adventure, Knott's Berry Farm and the Spanish Mission of San Juan Capistrano. Also located within the County are the Anaheim Convention Center, Edison International Field of Anaheim, Honda Center, Orange County Performing Arts Center, Verizon Wireless Amphitheater and the Art Colony at Laguna Beach with its annual art festival. The Anaheim Convention Center is located adjacent to Disneyland. It is situated on 53 acres and is one of the largest convention centers on the West Coast. Table B-9 summarizes the number of conventions held in the County,as well as attendance for the period 2000 through 2009.

(1) As of June 30,2010. Transportation The County is situated in the most heavily populated area in California and has access to excellent roads, rail, air and sea transportation. The Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate 5) provides direct access to downtown Los Angeles and connects with the San Diego Freeway (Interstate 405) southeast of the City of Santa Ana,providing a direct link with San Diego. The Garden Grove Freeway(State 22) and the Riverside Freeway (State 91) provide east-west transportation, linking the San Diego Freeway, Santa Ana Freeway and the Newport Freeway (State 55). The Newport Freeway provides access to certain beach communities. Drivers in the County have access to two toll road systems of the Transportation Corridor Agencies. The San Joaquin Toll Road (73) runs from Costa Mesa to San Juan Capistrano connecting to the 405 and 5 interstate freeways. The Eastern and Foothill Toll Roads (241, 261 and 133) connect the County to the 91 freeway in the north and the 5 freeway, City of Irvine other South County cities, as well as Laguna Canyon Road. The Transportation Corridor Agencies are planning to extend 241 to connect to the 5 freeway near San Clemente. Rail freight service is provided by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Amtrak provides passenger service to San Diego to the south, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties to the east, and Los Angeles and Santa Barbara to the north. Metro Link provides passenger service to San Bernardino and Riverside counties to the east, the City of Oceanside to the south and Los Angeles County to the north. Bus service is provided by Greyhound Bus Lines. The Orange County Transportation Authority provides bus service between most cities in the County. Most interstate common carrier truck lines operating in California serve the County. The John Wayne Airport, owned and operated by the County, is the only commercial service airport in the County. It is approximately thirty-five miles south of Los Angeles, between the cities of Coast Mesa, Irvine, Newport Beach and Santa Ana. Major airlines, including Alaska, Aloha, America West, American, Continental, Delta, Frontier, Northwest, Southwest and United fly from the airport to major cities throughout the country. In 2007, approximately 10 million passengers were served. B-7 In 1993, the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission directed the closure of Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) El Toro ("El Toro' or "the base") effective July 1999. The County was designated the Local Redevelopment Authority ("LRA") for development of a Community Reuse Plan to guide future development of the former MCAS El Toro. In 1994, Orange County voters narrowly approved Measure A which zoned the property for use as an international airport. This touched off a multi-year legal and political battle that ended when 58% of Orange County voters approved Measure W, the Orange County Central Park and Nature Preserve Initiative, on March 5, 2002. Measure W repeals Measure A and amends the County General Plan to prohibit aviation uses and limit future development for the unincorporated portion of El Toro to park, open space, nature preserve and education and compatible uses. The day after Measure W was approved, the Department of the Navy issued a press release stating that disposal of the former Base would be accomplished by means of a public auction. The City of Irvine responded by developing the Great Park Plan for El Toro. The City of Irvine was approved by the Local Agency formation Commission("LAFCO") to annex to the City the property that comprises the former MCAS El Toro. In light of the passage of Measure W, the County has discontinued all work related to the planning or development of a commercial airport at El Toro. Natural Disasters; Seismic Activity Natural disasters, including floods, fires and earthquakes, have been experienced in the County. Seismic records spanning the past half century and historic records dating from the 1700s through the early 1900s indicate that the County is a seismically active area. The State Office of Emergency Services indicates that significant tremors are likely to occur in several fault zones during the next 50 to 100 years, including a tremor of 7.0 on the Richter scale within the Newport-Inglewood fault system. The chance of a Richter 7.0 earthquake occurring is estimated to be 1 to 2% in any year. For this reason, local building codes require that structures be designed to withstand the expected accelerations for the area without collapsing or suffering severe structural damage. Maps published by the State Department of Conservation indicate that portions of the County may be subject to the risk of earthquake-induced landslides or liquefaction.

ARTICLE II COMMITMENT TO PURCHASE CERTIFICATES SECTION 2.01 Commitment to Purchase Certificates. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Bank hereby agrees from time to time during the Commitment Period to purchase, at the Purchase Price, with immediately available funds, Certificates which evidence interest at a Covered Rate and which are not Bank Certificates or Certificates owned by 13046282.5 11 or on behalf of, or for the account of, the District or any of its Affiliates or their successors and assigns ("Eligible Certificates") which are tendered pursuant to (i) an optional tender or (ii) a Mandatory Purchase and which the Remarketing Agent has been unable to remarket. The Bank will pay said Purchase Price with its own funds. The aggregate principal amount (or portion thereof) of any Certificate purchased on any Purchase Date shall be an Authorized Denomination and, in any case, the aggregate principal amount of all Certificates purchased on any Purchase Date shall not exceed the Available Principal Commitment (calculated without giving effect to any purchase of Certificates by the Bank on such date) at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date. The aggregate amount of the Purchase Price comprising interest on Certificates (the "Interest Component") purchased on any Purchase Date shall not exceed the lesser of(a) the Available Interest Commitment on such date and (b) the actual aggregate amount of interest evidenced by each such Certificate through and including such Purchase Date. SECTION 2.02 Bank Certificates;Excess Bank Certificate Interest. (a) Any Certificates purchased by the Bank pursuant to Section 2.01 shall thereupon constitute Bank Certificates and have all of the characteristics of Bank Certificates as set forth herein, including in Section 3.01, and in the Trust Agreement. All Bank Certificates shall evidence interest at the Bank Rate for the period commencing from the Purchase Date and continuing until such Certificate is paid in full or remarketed as provided herein. (b) In the event that the average Bank Rate accruing on any Bank Certificates during any period exceeds the Maximum Rate for such period, the Bank shall receive interest on account of Bank Certificates only at the Maximum Rate for such period (the difference between (a)the interest payable to the Bank if the Bank Certificates had continuously borne interest at the Bank Rate and (b) the interest actually paid to the Bank at the Maximum Rate is referred to below as the "Excess Bank Certificate Interest"). Notwithstanding any subsequent reduction in the Bank Rate, Bank Certificates shall continue to evidence interest from and after the date on which any Excess Bank Certificate Interest would have accrued but for the limitation on interest accruing above the Maximum Rate, at the Maximum Rate until the date on which the interest paid to the Bank on Bank Certificates in excess of the Bank Rate equals such Excess Bank Certificate Interest;provided, that, upon termination of this Agreement, in consideration for the limitation of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder and under the Fee Letter, the District shall pay from the sources described in Section 5.01(k) and Section 10.14 hereof, to the extent permitted by law, the Bank a fee equal to the amount of all unpaid Excess Bank Certificate Interest. To the extent permitted by law, interest evidenced by Bank Certificates shall accrue on, and be payable by the District from Installment Payments with respect to, all unpaid Excess Bank Certificate Interest at a rate per annum equal to the Bank Rate. The District shall pay Installment Payments in such amounts so as to pay to the Bank Certificateowner accrued interest, including any accrued but unpaid Excess Bank Certificate Interest, evidenced by Bank Certificates as provided in Section 3.1 hereof. On any date on which Excess Bank Certificate Interest is due and payable, the Bank shall notify the District and the Trustee as to the amount of such Excess Bank Certificate Interest due on such date, together with any interest accrued and payable thereon; provided, that the failure of the Bank to so notify the District or the Trustee shall not affect the accrual of or obligation of the District to pay such Excess Bank Certificate Interest. 13046282.5 12 (c) All amounts owed to the Bank with respect to Bank Certificates (including unpaid Excess Bank Certificate Interest, if any) shall become immediately due and payable on the final day of the Commitment Period.

The Bank shall have no responsibility for, nor incur any liability in respect of, any act, or any failure to act, by the Trustee which results in the failure of the Trustee to effect the purchase of Certificates for the account of the Bank with such funds pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) or otherwise. Certificates purchased pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall be registered in the name of the Bank or, if directed in writing by the Bank, its nominee or designee on the Certificate Register and shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Bank.

The Interest Component of such Certificates shall be paid to the Bank as provided in Section 3.01. (b) If the Bank receives a Notice of Bank Purchase after 11:30 a.m. (New York City time) on a Purchase Date from the Trustee, the Bank, subject to satisfaction of the conditions provided in Section 7.01 hereof, will transfer to the Trustee at or before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the Purchase Date specified in such notice, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of Eligible Certificates tendered or deemed tendered on such Purchase Date.

(b) The Available Commitment shall, subject to Section 2.04(c) below, terminate at the close of business no sooner than the Business Day immediately following the Substitution Date.

The Bank agrees that such sales (other than sales made pursuant to Section 13046282.5 14 2.05(c)) will be made only to institutional investors or other entities or individuals which customarily purchase commercial paper or tax-exempt securities in large denominations. The Bank agrees to notify the District, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent promptly of any such sale (other than a sale made pursuant to Section 2.05(c)) and, if such Bank Certificate is a Book- Entry Certificate, specifying the account at DTC to which such Bank Certificate is credited; and to notify the transferee in writing that such Certificate is no longer an Eligible Certificate and may not carry a short-term rating from any Rating Agency so long as it remains a Bank Certificate. Any Bank Certificateowner purchasing a Bank Certificate from the Bank shall be deemed to have agreed (i) not to sell such Bank Certificate to any Person except the Bank, a Person to whom the Bank is permitted to sell such Bank Certificates or a Purchaser identified by the Remarketing Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(b) and (ii) if such Bank Certificate is a Book- Entry Certificate, to give all notices in the manner and by the time required by DTC to exclude such Bank Certificate from Mandatory Purchases of Certificates while it remains a Bank Certificate. Prior to selling a Bank Certificate to a Bank Certificateowner, the Bank shall obtain a written acknowledgment from such Bank Certificateowner stating that such Bank Certificateowner has no right to tender the Bank Certificate except as provided herein and that the Remarketing Agent is authorized to sell such Bank Certificates on behalf of such Bank Certificateowner pursuant to Sections 2.06 and 5.07 of the Trust Agreement. (b) Purchase Notices. Prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) on any Business Day on which a Bank Certificateowner holds Bank Certificates, unless the Bank has delivered a Notice of Termination, the Remarketing Agent may deliver a notice (a "Purchase Notice") to a Bank Certificateowner as registered on the Certificate Register and to the Bank, stating that it has located a purchaser(the "Purchaser") for some or all of such Bank Certificates and that such Purchaser desires to purchase on the Business Day following the date on which a Bank Certificateowner receives a Purchase Notice (a "Sale Date") an Authorized Denomination of such Certificates at a price of par plus unpaid accrued interest thereon from and including the Purchase Date to but excluding the Sale Date at the interest rate or rates applicable during such period to Certificates which are not Bank Certificates (the "Sale Price").

A Bank Certificateowner shall decide whether to sell any Bank Certificates to any Purchaser and shall give notice of such decision to the District and the Remarketing Agent by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding the Sale Date. In the event such notice is not timely delivered by a Bank Certificateowner, such Bank Certificateowner shall be deemed to have determined to sell such Bank Certificates to a Purchaser on the Sale Date (subject to receipt by it of the funds called for by the next following sentence). If a Bank Certificateowner determines or is deemed to have determined to sell such Bank Certificates to a Purchaser, such Bank Certificateowner shall deliver such Bank Certificates to the Trustee (or, in the case of Bank Certificates which are Book-Entry Certificates, shall cause the beneficial ownership thereof to be credited to the account of the Remarketing Agent at DTC) by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Sale Date against receipt of the Sale Price therefor in immediately available funds at the Bank's address referred to in Section 2.11 hereof or at the Bank Certificateowner's address listed in the Certificate Register, and such Certificates shall thereupon no longer be considered Bank Certificates and such Certificates shall cease to evidence interest at the Bank Rate and shall evidence interest at the rate provided for in the Trust Agreement and the Certificates for Certificates which are not Bank Certificates.

The Bank agrees to repay to the District any refund (including that portion of any interest that was included as part of such refund) with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the District pursuant to this Section 2.08 received by the Bank for Taxes or Other Taxes that were paid by the District pursuant to this Section 2.08.

In the event that said Suspension Event shall not have been dismissed, discharged or bonded prior to the Termination Date, then the Available Commitment and the obligation of the Bank to purchase Eligible Certificates shall terminate on such Termination Date without notice or demand and, thereafter, the Bank shall be under no obligation to purchase Eligible Certificates.

In the event that said Suspension Event shall not have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal within such sixty(60) day period when the Termination Date occurs, then the Available Commitment and the obligation of the Bank to purchase Eligible Certificates shall terminate on such Termination Date without notice or demand and, thereafter, the Bank shall be under no obligation to purchase Eligible Certificates.

If a court with jurisdiction to rule on such an Event of Default shall find or rule by entry of a final and nonappealable judgment that the material provision of the Act or any other document described in Section 8.08(d) is valid and binding on, or enforceable against, the District or that the claim or contest described in Section 8.08(e) shall have been dismissed pursuant to a final and nonappealable judgment, then the Available Commitment and the obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall, in each such case, thereupon be 13046282.5 41 reinstated (unless the Commitment Period shall otherwise have been terminated, suspended or expired as provided in this Agreement).

In the case of each Suspension Event, the Trustee shall subsequently notify all Certificateholders of the suspension and/or termination of both the Available Commitment and the obligation of the Bank to purchase Eligible Certificates.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no failure or delay by the Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, under the Trust Agreement and any other Related Document or under the Certificates and no course of dealing between the District and the Bank shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise hereof or thereof preclude any other or further exercise hereof or thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Bank would otherwise have. (d) In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, all obligations due and payable hereunder shall bear interest at the Default Rate. 13046282.5 42 ARTICLE IX NATURE OF OBLIGATIONS; INDEMNIFICATION SECTION 9.01 Obligations Absolute.

LLOYDS TSB BANK plc, acting through its New York Branch Date: By: Name: Title: By: Name: Title: 13046282.5 D-1 NIXON DRAFT OF 7/2/10 EXHIBIT E FORM OF OPINION OF DISTRICT COUNSEL Orange County Sanitation District Refunding Certificates of Participation. Series 2000-A and Series 2000-B Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as Counsel to the Orange County Sanitation District (the "District") in connection with the execution and delivery of the Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated as of August _, 2010 (the "Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement"), by and between the District and Lloyds TSB Bank plc, acting through its New York Branch (the "Bank"), and the Remarketing Memorandum relating to the Orange County Sanitation District Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series 2000 (the "Certificates"), dated August _, 2010 (the "Remarketing Memorandum"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement. In such connection we have examined such certificates of public officials, such certificates of officers of the District, and copies, certified to our satisfaction, of such municipal documents and records of the District and of such other documents, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for our opinions hereinafter set forth. We have relied upon such certificates of public officials and of officers of the District with respect to the accuracy of material factual matters contained therein which were not independently established. On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: 1. The District is a county sanitation district of the State of California duly organized and validly existing under the Constitution and the laws of the State of California; 2. Except as disclosed in the Remarketing Memorandum, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation at law or in equity before or by any court, public board or body, pending or threatened against or affecting the District, which would materially and adversely impact the District's ability to complete the transactions described in and contemplated by the Remarketing Memorandum, to restrain or enjoin the payments under the Installment Purchase Agreement, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement, the Certificates or the transactions relating to the Project as described and defined in the Remarketing Memorandum or in any way contesting or affecting the powers of the District in connection with any action contemplated by the Remarketing Memorandum and the Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement; 3. The adoption of the resolution by the Board of Directors of the District, adopted by the Board on August [_], 2010 (the "District Resolution"), authorizing the preparation and delivery of the Remarketing Memorandum and the execution and delivery of the Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement by the District and the performance by the District of its obligations under the Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement or instrument to which the 13052951.6 District is a party or by which it is bound or constitute a default thereunder and all consents, approvals, authorizations and orders of a governmental or regulatory authority, if any, which are required to be obtained by the District for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Remarketing Memorandum or as conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Certificates have been obtained; provided, however, that no opinion is expressed as to any action required under state securities or blue sky laws; 4. The Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the District, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Bank, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the District enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws or equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally and by the application of equitable principles if equitable remedies are sought and by the limitations on legal remedies imposed on actions against public bodies such as the District in the State of California; 5. No authorization, approval, consent, or other order of the State of California or any other governmental authority or agency within the State of California is required for the valid authorization, execution and delivery of the Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement and the approval of the preparation and delivery of the Remarketing Memorandum; and 6. Based upon examinations which we have made and our discussions in conferences with certain officials of the District and others with respect to the Remarketing Memorandum and without having undertaken to determine independently the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Remarketing Memorandum (including the appendices attached thereto), nothing has come to our attention which would lead us to believe that the Remarketing Memorandum (other than financial and statistical data therein and incorporated therein by reference, and other than information relating to the Bank, the Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement and the DTC Book-Entry System, or information provided by the Remarketing Agent for inclusion in the Remarketing Memorandum, as to which no opinion need be expressed) contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. We are licensed to practice law in the State of California, and we do not purport to be experts on any law other than the law of the State of California and the federal law of the United States of America. We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the substantive law of the State of California and of the United States of America (as applicable, without regard to conflict of law principles). With respect to any agreement that by its terms is governed by the laws of a state other than the State of California, we have assumed for purposes hereof that the applicable laws of such state are the same as the applicable laws of the State of California. Sincerely, WOODRUFF, SPRADLIN & SMART By: 13052951.6 3 EXHIBIT F FEE LETTER August , 2010 Orange County Sanitation District 10844 Ellis Avenue Fountain Valley, California 92708 Ladies and Gentlemen: Reference is made to the Standby Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 2010 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Agreement"), by and between the Orange County Sanitation District (the "District") and Lloyds TSB Bank plc, acting through its New York Branch (the "Bank"), relating to $[218,600,000] in outstanding aggregate principal amount of the District's Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series 2000-A and Series 2000- B, [$194,000,000 of which is currently outstanding] (the "Certificates"). Any capitalized term below that is defined in the Agreement shall have the same meaning when used herein. This letter is the Fee Letter described in the Agreement. In order to induce the Bank to enter into the Agreement and to purchase the Certificates pursuant to the Agreement, the District agrees to make, or cause to be made, the following payments at the following times: (A) Facility Fee. (1) The District shall pay to the Bank an annual fee (the "Facility Fee"), computed on the basis set forth hereinbelow, at a rate per annum equal to forty-nine basis points per annum (0.49%), as said Facility Fee may be adjusted in accordance with the table below, on the Available Commitment, for the period from the Effective Date to the Expiration Date: Level S&P Fitch Facility Fee Rating Rating Level 1 AAA AAA 0.49 % Level 2 AA+ AA+ 0.54 % Level 3 AA AA 0.59 % Level 4 AA- AA- 0.64 % Level 5 A+ A+ 0.74 % Level 6 A A 0.84 % Level 7 A- A- 0.94 % Level 8 BBB+ BBB+ 1.14 % Level 9 BBB BBB 1.34 % Level BBB- BBB- 1.54 % 10 Level Below Below 1.84 % 11 BBB- BBB- 13052951.6 4 (2) The Facility Fee for any date shall be determined by reference to the rating of the District assigned by S&P and Fitch listed above for such date (the "District Rating'. A downgrade in the District Rating (excluding any downgrade due to a reduction of the long-term credit rating relating to a bond insurer or other credit enhancer) will result in an increase in the Facility Fee as indicated above but only at such time as the Rating Agencies have assigned such District Rating described at a specific level set forth above; provided, however, that (i) if and when there is a split in the District Rating, then the Facility Fee will be set at the Level represented by the lowest of the three District Ratings (e.g., if, on any given day, Fitch has assigned a District Rating of "A+" (or its equivalent) and S&P has assigned a District Rating of "A" (or its equivalent), then the Facility Fee will be set at the Level associated with the "A" level) and (ii) notwithstanding the provisions of sub- clause (i) hereof, in the event of a split rating as indicated at Level 1 and Level 2 above, the Facility Fee will be as specified at Level I or Level 2, as applicable. If any Rating Agency shall withdraw or suspend its District Rating for any reason (other than the reduction of the long-term credit rating related to a bond insurer or other credit enhancer), then the Facility Fee shall increase automatically and immediately to Level I I and shall remain in effect for so long as such withdrawal or suspension remains in effect. (3) In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and for so long as said Event of Default has not been cured or waived by the Bank, the Facility Fee shall increase automatically and immediately by one hundred fifty basis points (1.50%) per annum above the Facility Fee in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of said Event of Default until the same has been cured or waived by the Bank. (4) Any change in the Facility Fee resulting from a change, cancellation, downgrade, upgrade, withdrawal or suspension of a rating shall be and become effective as of and on the date of the public announcement of the change, cancellation, downgrade, upgrade, withdrawal or suspension of such rating. Any change in the Facility Fee resulting from an Event of Default shall become effective as of and on the date such Event of Default first occurs and said change in the Facility Fee shall remain in effect until the Bank has provided a written waiver thereof or said Event of Default has been cured to the satisfaction of the Bank. References to the ratings above are references to the rating categories of Fitch and S&P as presently determined by the respective Rating Agency and, in the event of adoption of any new or changed rating system by Fitch or S&P, or in the event that another Rating Agency is included by the District or replaces one of the rating agencies then rating the Certificates, the ratings from the applicable Rating Agency shall be deemed to refer to the rating category under the new rating system which most closely approximates the applicable rating category as then currently in effect or, in the case of a substitute Rating Agency, shall be deemed to refer to the rating category that most closely approximates the applicable rating categories that were in effect on the date hereof. 13052951.6 5 (5) The Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each [October 1, January 1, April 1 and July 1], commencing on [October 1], 2010, with the final such payment being payable on the final day of the Commitment Period. [OCSD AND BANK TO CONFIRM THAT THESE ARE ACCEPTABLE PAYMENT DATES.] (6) The District hereby acknowledges that, as of the Effective Date, the Facility Fee is being determined in accordance with Level 1 of the chart set forth above. (B) Fees.
