The Bonds will be issued pursuant to the <br /> Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985 (Article 4, Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the California <br /> Government Code) (the "Bond Law"). <br /> The Bonds are being issued to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of a police <br /> administrative and holding facility (the "Project") for the City of Santa Ana (the "City"), to fund a reserve <br /> account and to pay certain costs of issuance. See "THE PROJECT AND THE LEASED PROPERTY" herein. <br /> The Authority will initially lease 38 parcels of real property owned by the City (the "Leased <br /> Property"), including the parcel on which the Project will be constructed (the "Site"), pursuant to a Ground <br /> Lease, dated as of March 1, 1994, between the City and the Authority (the "Ground Lease") and will lease-back <br /> the Leased Premises to the City pursuant to a Lease, dated as of March 1, 1994, between the Authority and the <br /> City (the "Lease"). Pursuant to the Lease, the City has been appointed to act as the agent responsible for the <br /> acquisition, construction and installation of the Project. Upon completion of the Project and issuance of a <br /> certificate of occupancy with respect thereto, the City expects to release all parcels of real property, other than <br /> the Site, from Ground Lease and the Lease. See the caption "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS -- The Lease -- <br /> Release of Leased Property". <br /> The City is obligated to pay rental payments under the Lease from any legally available moneys, <br /> including its general fund. The City will covenant in the Lease that, so long as the City has the use and <br /> occupancy of the Leased Property, it will make rental payments ("Base Rental") to the Authority. Pursuant to <br /> an Assignment Agreement dated as of March 1, 1994 (the "Assignment Agreement"), the Authority has <br /> assigned to the Trustee, among other things, its right to receive Base Rental. The Base Rental is calculated to <br /> be an amount sufficient to permit the Authority to pay all debt service on the Bonds when due. The obligation <br /> of the City to make Base Rental payments is not a debt of the City and is payable only from funds legally <br /> available therefor, including amounts on deposit in the general fund of the City. The obligation of the City to <br /> make Base Rental payments may be abated in whole or in part in the event of damage to, condemnation or <br /> destruction of, or title defects relating to, the Leased Property. <br /> Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corporation (the "Insurer"), has issued a commitment to issue, <br /> simultaneously with the delivery of the Bonds, a municipal bond insurance policy (the "Municipal Bond <br /> Insurance Policy") relating to the Bonds, effective as of the date of delivery of the Bonds. By the terms of the <br /> Municipal Bond Insurance Policy, the Insurer agrees to pay the principal of and interest evidenced by the <br /> Current Interest Bonds and the accreted value of the Capital Appreciation Bonds (all as defined below) which <br /> shall become due for payment but shall be unpaid to the extent that the Trustee has not received sufficient funds <br /> from the Authority to make such payment. <br /> THE BONDS ARE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY PAYABLE SOLELY FROM <br /> AND SECURED SOLELY BY THE REVENUES PLEDGED THEREFOR IN THE INDENTURE. THE <br /> BONDS ARE NOT A DEBT OF THE CITY, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL <br /> 1 <br />
