(c) Notice of Redemption. The City will mail (by first class mail), at its
expense, notice of any redemption to the Owner of the Bond at his address appearing
on the Registration Books, at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed
for redemption; provided, however, that neither failure to receive any such notice so
mailed nor any defect therein will affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of such Bond or the cessation of the accrual of interest thereon.
Such notice shall specify: (a) that the Bond or a designated portion thereof is to
be redeemed, (b) the number of the Bond to be redeemed, (c) the date of notice and the
24438.02014\8780696.6 7
date of redemption, (d) the place or places where the redemption will be made, and (e)

amount of such Bond to be redeemed, together with interest accrued to said date, and
that from and after such date interest with respect thereto shall cease to accrue and be
payable.
(d) Manner of Redemption. Whenever provision is made in this Section 2.03
for the redemption of less than all of the Bond, the City shall treat such Bond as
consisting of separate $5,000 portions and each such portion shall be subject to
redemption as if such portion were a separate Bond. If only a portion of a Bond is
called for redemption, then upon surrender of such Bond the City will execute and
authenticate and deliver to the Owner thereof, at the expense of the City, a new Bond of
the same series and maturity date, of a denomination in aggregate principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond to be redeemed.
(e) Partial Redemption of Bond. If only a portion of a Bond is called for
redemption, then upon surrender of such Bond the City will execute, authenticate and
deliver to the Owner thereof, at the expense of the City, a new Bond of the same series
and maturity date, of an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion of the Bond to be redeemed.
(f) Effect of Redemption. From and after the date fixed for redemption, if
notice of redemption has been duly mailed and funds available for the payment of the
principal of and interest (and premium, if any) on the Bond so called for redemption
have been duly provided, such Bond so called shall cease to be entitled to any benefit
under this Resolution other than the right to receive payment of the redemption price,
and no interest shall accrue thereon from and after the redemption date specified in
such notice. Unless otherwise determined by the City, the City shall cancel and destroy
the Bond redeemed under this Section 2.03.
Section 2.04. Form and Execution of Bond. The form of the Bond, the form of the
certificate of authentication, and the form of assignment to appear thereon, are set forth
in Appendix B attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, with
necessary or appropriate variations, omissions and insertions, as permitted or required
by this Resolution.
The Mayor of the City shall execute, and the City Clerk of the City shall attest the
Bond. Any or all of such signatures may be made manually or may be affixed by
facsimile thereof. If any officer whose signature appears on the Bond ceases to be
such officer before the Closing Date, such signature will nevertheless be as effective as

attested on behalf of the City by such persons as at the actual date of the execution of
that Bond are the proper officers of the City, duly authorized to execute debt
instruments on behalf of the City, although on the date of the Bond any such person
was not an officer of the City.
24438.02014\8780696.6 8

Letter has been duly executed and the City may rely upon the representations set forth
therein. The City shall collect any tax or other governmental charge on the transfer of
the Bond under this Section 2.06. Whenever the Bond is surrendered for transfer, the
City will execute, authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new Bond of like series,
interest rate, maturity and aggregate principal amount. The City will pay the cost of
printing the Bond and any services rendered or expenses incurred in connection with
any transfer of the Bond.

expense of the Owner, will execute, authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor

require payment of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing the new Bond
issued under this Section and of the expenses which may be incurred by the City in
24438.0201418780696.6 9
connection therewith. Any Bond issued under the provisions of this Section in lieu of
any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen will constitute an original additional
contractual obligation on the part of the City whether or not the Bond so alleged to be
lost, destroyed or stolen be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to
the benefits of this Resolution with any other Bond issued under this Resolution.

pledge any form of taxation. Neither the Bond nor the obligations of the City to make
payments on the Bond constitute an indebtedness of the City, the State of California, or
any of its political subdivisions within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt
limitation or restriction.

performed on behalf of the City are for the equal and proportionate benefit, security and
protection of any Owner of the Bond.
Section 4.02. Debt Service Fund. There is hereby established a separate fund to
be known as the "Debt Service Fund" which shall be held by the City in trust for the
benefit of the Bond Owner. The Debt Service Fund shall be maintained by the City at

set forth herein, so long as the Bond remains Outstanding. The City will transfer an
amount of legally available funds in the following amounts at the following times, for
deposit by the City in the following respective special accounts within the Debt Service
Fund, which accounts are hereby established with the City with respect to the Bond, in
the following order of priority:
(a) Interest Account. On or before the 5th Business Day preceding
each date on which interest on the Bond is due and payable, the City will transfer
for deposit in the Interest Account an amount which, when added to the amount
then on deposit in the Interest Account, equals the aggregate amount of the
interest coming due and payable on the Outstanding Bond on that date. The City
will apply amounts in the Interest Account solely for the purpose of paying the
interest on the Bond when due and payable.
(b) Principal Account. On or before the 5th Business Day preceding
each date on which principal of the Bond is due and payable at maturity or upon
mandatory sinking fund redemption, the City will transfer for deposit in the
Principal Account an amount which, when added to the amount then on deposit
in the Principal Account, equals the principal amount of the Term Bond (which is
subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on that date under Section
2.03[b]). The City will apply amounts in the Principal Account solely for the
purpose of paying the principal of the Term Bond upon the mandatory sinking
fund redemption thereof.
Section 4.03. Investment of Moneys in Funds. The City may invest moneys in
the funds and accounts established and held hereunder in Permitted Investments. The
City shall ensure that all Permitted Investments mature not later than the date on which
the funds invested therein are required to be expended.
24438.02014\8780696.6 11
Obligations purchased as an investment of moneys in any fund or account will be
deemed to be part of such fund or account. Whenever in this Resolution the City is
required to transfer any moneys to the various funds and accounts maintained by it
hereunder, such transfer may be accomplished by transferring a like amount of
Permitted Investments. All interest or gain derived from the investment of amounts in
any of the funds or accounts held by the City hereunder will be retained in the
respective fund or account from which such investment was made. For purposes of
acquiring any investments hereunder, the City may commingle funds held by it
hereunder.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

acceleration, or otherwise.
(b) Failure to pay any installment of interest on the Bond when due.
(c) Failure by the City to observe and perform any of the other
covenants, agreements or conditions on its part contained in this Resolution, the
Bond, or in the Bond Purchase Agreement, if such failure has continued for a
period of 30 days after written notice thereof, specifying such failure and
requiring the same to be remedied, has been given to the City by the
Bondowner(s); provided, however, if in the reasonable opinion of the City the
failure stated in the notice can be corrected, but not within such 30-day period,
such failure will not constitute an Event of Default if corrective action is instituted
by the City within such 30-day period and it thereafter diligently and in good faith
cures the failure in a reasonable period of time.
(d) The City shall file a petition seeking reorganization or arrangement
under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United State
of America, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall approve a petition seeking
reorganization of the City under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other
applicable law of the United States of America, or if, under the provisions of any
other law for the relief or aid of debtors, any court of competent jurisdiction shall
assume custody or control of the City or of the whole or any substantial part of its
property.
(e) Any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of the City
under the Bond Purchase Agreement or in any certificate or statement delivered
24438.02014%8780696.6 15
thereunder shall be incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or
deemed to have been made.
Section 8.02. Remedies of Bondowner. The Bondowner shall have the right:
(a) by mandamus, suit, action or proceeding, to compel the City and its
officers, agents or employees to perform each and every term, provision and
covenant contained in this Resolution, the Bond, and in the Bond Purchase
Agreement and to require the carrying out of any or all such covenants and
agreements of the City and the fulfillment of all duties imposed upon it;
(b) by suit, action or proceeding in equity, to enjoin any acts or things
which are unlawful, or the violation of any of the Bondowner's rights; or
(c) upon the happening of any Event of Default, by suit, action or
proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction, to require the City and its
officers and employees to account as if it and they were the trustees of an
express trust.
(d) exercise any other remedies available to the Bondholder in law or
at equity to enforce the rights of the Bondholder under this Resolution, the Bond,
and the Bond Purchase Agreement.
In addition, if an Event of Default occurs pursuant to Section 8.01 above and is
continuing, the Owner the Bond then Outstanding may declare the principal of the Bond,
together with the accrued interest thereon, to be due and payable immediately. Any
such declaration may be rescinded or annulled at any time by the Owner the Bond.
Section 8.03. Non-Waiver. Nothing in this Article VII or in any other provision of
this Resolution, or in the Bond, shall affect or impair the obligation of the City, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on the Bond to the
respective Owner of the Bond at the respective dates of maturity, as herein provided, or
affect or impair the right of action, which is also absolute and unconditional, of such
Owner to institute suit to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in the
Bond.
A waiver of any default by the Bondowner shall not affect any subsequent default
or impair any rights or remedies on the subsequent default. No delay or omission of the
Owner of the Bond to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair
any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an
acquiescence therein, and every power and remedy conferred upon the Owner of the
Bond by this Article VIII may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often
as shall be deemed expedient by the Owner of the Bond.
If a suit, action or proceeding to enforce any right or exercise any remedy be
abandoned or determined adversely to the Owner of the Bond, the City and the Bond
Owner shall be restored to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such suit,
action or proceeding had not been brought or taken.
24438.02014\8780696.6 16
Section 8.04. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon the
Owner of the Bond shall be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or
hereafter conferred on the Owner of the Bond.
Section 8.05. Default Interest Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
the principal balance of the Bond shall, from the date of an Event of Default until the
date the Purchaser notifies the City that such Event of Default is waived or cured, bear
interest at the Default Rate. The "Default Rate" means the rate per annum which is
equal to the fixed rate in effect with respect to the Bond plus 5.00% per annum. The
provisions of this section will not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

the Bond by first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days

Resolution, interest hereon will cease to accrue from and after the date fixed for
redemption.

attorney duly authorized in writing, at City Hall, 595 S. San Jacinto Avenue, San Jacinto,
California 92583, or such other place as designated by the City, but only in the manner,
subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Resolution,
and upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond. Upon registration of such transfer a
new Bond, of authorized denomination, for the same aggregate principal amount and of
the same maturity will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor.
The City may treat the Registered Owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof for
all purposes, and the City shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
It is hereby certified that all of the things, conditions and acts required to exist, to

OPINION: $1 ,800,000 City of San Jacinto 2014 Taxable Pension Obligation
Bond
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as bond counsel in connection with the issuance and delivery by
the City of San Jacinto (the "City") of a bond in the aggregate principal amount of
$1,800,000 and designated the "City of San Jacinto 2014 Taxable Pension Obligation
Bond" (the "Bond"), issued under the provisions of Articles 10 and 11 (commencing with
Section 53570) of Chapter 3 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California Government Code
(the "Bond Law") and Resolution No. 3507 adopted by the City Council of the City on
June 3, 2014 (the "Resolution").
In such connection, we have reviewed the Resolution, certificates of the City and
such other documents, matters and opinions to the extent we deemed necessary in
order to render the opinions set forth herein.
The opinions expressed herein are based on an analysis of existing laws,
regulations, rulings and court decisions and cover certain matters not directly addressed
by such authorities. Such opinions may be affected by actions taken or omitted or
events occurring after the date hereof. We have not undertaken to determine, or to
inform any person, whether any such actions are taken or omitted or events do occur or
any other matters come to our attention after the date hereof. Our engagement with
respect to the Bond has concluded with their issuance, and we disclaim any obligation
to update this letter.
We have assumed the genuineness of all documents and signatures presented
to us (whether as originals or as copies) and the due and legal execution and delivery
thereof by, and validity against, any parties other than the City. We have assumed,
without undertaking to verify, the accuracy of the factual matters represented, warranted
or certified in the documents. Furthermore, we have assumed compliance with all
covenants and agreements contained in the Resolution. We call attention to the fact
that the rights and obligations under the Bond and the Resolution and their
enforceability may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors'
rights, to the application of equitable principles, to the exercise of judicial discretion in
appropriate cases and to the limitations on legal remedies against cities in the State of
24438.02014\8780696.6 A-6
California. We express no opinion with respect to any indemnification, contribution,
choice of law, choice of forum or waiver provisions contained in the foregoing
documents nor do we express any opinion with respect to the state or quality of title to
or interest in any of the assets described in or as subject to the lien of the Resolution or
the accuracy or sufficiency of the description contained therein of, or the remedies
available to enforce liens on, any such assets.
The California Constitution limits the ability of the City to incur debts without the
express approval of a two-thirds' majority of the qualified electors. (Cal. Const. art. XVI,
§ 18.) However, the California Supreme Court has carved an exception to this general
rule in instances where a debt or obligation is imposed upon the governmental entity by
law. In Lewis v. Widber, 99 Cal. 412, 33 P. 1128 (1893), the California Supreme Court
held that where the City of San Francisco had depleted its revenues for the current
fiscal year, payment of a public officer's final month's salary out of the next year's
revenues would not violate the constitutional debt limitation. The Court concluded that
the debt limitation did not apply to payments of debts when both the existence of the
obligation and statutory guidance as to its payment are provided by state law since the
constitutional debt limitation was intended to apply to volitional incurrence of obligations
and not an obligation which is imposed by a legislative body other than the one incurring
the indebtedness. (Lewis v. Widber, 99 Cal. at 413.) The City is obligated by Sections
20000 et seq. of the California Government Code to make payments to the California
Public Employees' Retirement System, or any successor system established by the
State ("PERS") relating to pension benefits accruing to City employees who are PERS
members. The City has entered into a contract with PERS effective December 31,
1970, as amended on September 28, 1973, October 7, 1976, January 13, 1983,
January 21, 1988, May 2, 1999, October 21, 2001, June 24, 2002, June 23, 2003 and
September 8, 2008 (the "PERS Contract"), evidencing the City's obligation to pay PERS
the City's unfunded accrued actuarial liability and its normal annual contribution to
PERS. The City's obligation to PERS as evidenced by the PERS Contract is a debt
obligation of the City imposed by law. Pursuant to Articles 10 and 11 (commencing with
Section 53570) of Chapter 3 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code of the State
of California (the "Act"), the City has the ability to issue refunding bonds for the purpose
of refunding any evidence of indebtedness of the City. The Bond has been issued to
refund the City's obligations under the PERS Contract under the Act. Based on and
subject to the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, as of the date hereof we believe that:
1. The City is a general law city organized and existing under the
Constitution and laws of the State of California, with power to adopt the Resolution and
perform the agreements on its part contained therein and issue the Bond.
2. The Bond constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the City
enforceable in accordance with its terms and payable solely from the sources provided
therefor in the Resolution.
3. The Resolution has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
City and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the City enforceable against
the City in accordance with its terms.
24438.02014\8780696.6 A-7
4. Interest on the Bond is exempt from personal income taxation imposed by
the State of California. Except as stated in the preceding sentence, we express no
opinion as to any federal or state tax consequences related to the ownership or
disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Bond.
The rights of the owner of the Bond and the enforceability of the Bond and the
Resolution may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
heretofore or hereafter enacted and may also be subject to the exercise of judicial
discretion in accordance with principles of equity or otherwise in appropriate cases.
To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue
Service, I inform you that any U.S. federal tax advice contained herein is not intended or
written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under
the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing, or recommending to another
party any transaction or matter addressed herein.
Respectfully submitted,
