together with any additional designations as may be necessary to sufficiently identify the
Series 2015C Bonds, and may be issued in separate series from time to time provided
that the aggregate principal amount does not exceed the maximum principal amount
authorized herein.
SECTION 2.02. Terms of Series 2015C Bonds.
(a) Terms of Current Interest Bonds. The Current Interest Bonds will be issued
as fully registered bonds, without coupons, in the denomination of $5,000 each or any
integral multiple thereof, but in an amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount
of Current Interest Bonds maturing in the year of maturity of the Current Interest Bond
-8-
for which the denomination is specified. Current Interest Bonds will be lettered and
numbered as the Paying Agent may prescribe. The Current Interest Bonds will be dated
as of the Closing Date.
Interest on the Current Interest Bonds is payable semiannually on each Interest
Payment Date. Each Current Interest Bond will bear interest from the Interest Payment
Date next preceding the date of registration and authentication thereof unless (i) it is
authenticated as of an Interest Payment Date, in which event it will bear interest from
such date, or (ii) it is authenticated prior to an Interest Payment Date and after the close
of business on the Record Date preceding such Interest Payment Date, in which event it
will bear interest from such Interest Payment Date, or (iii) it is authenticated prior to the
first Record Date, in which event it will bear interest from the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if interest on any Current Interest Bond is in default at the
time of authentication thereof, such Current Interest Bond will bear interest from the
Interest Payment Date to which interest has previously been paid or made available for
payment thereon.
(b) Terms of Capital Appreciation Bonds. The Capital Appreciation Bonds will
be issued in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $5,000 in Maturity
Values or any integral multiple thereof (except that one Capital Appreciation Bond may
be issued in a denomination the Maturity Value of which is not an integral multiple of
$5,000), maturing on August 1 in each of the years and in the maturity amounts as will
be determined upon the sale thereof. Interest on the Capital Appreciation Bonds
compounds on each Compounding Date at the respective Accretion Rates to be
determined upon the sale thereof, and is payable solely at maturity or upon earlier
redemption thereof as hereinafter provided.
Each Capital Appreciation Bond will be dated as of the Closing Date. The
Accreted Value of the Capital Appreciation Bonds and any redemption premium thereon
will be payable solely at maturity or earlier redemption thereof to the Owners thereof
upon presentation and surrender thereof at the Office of the Paying Agent. The
Accreted Value of the Capital Appreciation Bonds will be payable in lawful money of the
United States of America upon presentation and surrender thereof at the Office of the
Paying Agent.
(c) Terms of Convertible Capital Appreciation Bonds. The Convertible Capital
Appreciation Bonds (if any) will be issued in fully registered form without coupons.
Interest on the Convertible Capital Appreciation Bonds will initially accrete on the original
Denominational Amount thereof, compounded on each Compounding Date to and
including the Conversion Date thereof. On the Conversion Date of any Convertible
Capital Appreciation Bond, the interest on such Convertible Capital Appreciation Bond
will convert to current interest, accruing on the Conversion Value thereof, payable as set
forth under subsection (a) above.
Each Convertible Capital Appreciation Bond will be dated as of the Closing Date.
The Convertible Capital Appreciation Bonds will mature on August 1 in each of the years
and in the Conversion Values as will be determined upon the sale thereof.
(d) Maturities; Basis of Interest Calculation. The Series 2015C Bonds will
mature on August 1 in the years and in the amounts, and will bear or accrete interest at
the rates, as determined upon the sale thereof as provided in the Bond Purchase
-9-
Agreement. The limits set forth in Section 3.01 relating to the maximum maturity and
interest rates prescribed by the Bond Law and this Board shall be set forth in the Bond
Purchase Agreement. Interest on the Series 2015C Bonds will be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
(e) CUSIP Identification Numbers. CUSIP identification numbers will be
imprinted on the Series 2015C Bonds, but such numbers do not constitute a part of the
contract evidenced by the Series 2015C Bonds and any error or omission with respect
thereto will not constitute cause for refusal of any purchaser to accept delivery of and
pay for the Series 2015C Bonds. In addition, failure on the part of the District to use
such CUSIP numbers in any notice to Owners of the Series 2015C Bonds will not
constitute an event of default or any violation of the District’s contract with such Owners
and will not impair the effectiveness of any such notice.
(f) Payment. Interest on the Series 2015C Bonds (including the final interest
payment upon maturity or redemption) is payable by check, draft or wire of the Paying
Agent mailed to the Owner thereof (which will be DTC so long as the Series 2015C
Bonds are held in the book-entry system of DTC) at such Owner’s address as it appears
on the Registration Books at the close of business on the preceding Record Date;
except that at the written request of the Owner of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of the Series 2015C Bonds, which written request is on file with the Paying
Agent as of any Record Date, interest on such Series 2015C Bonds will be paid on the
succeeding Interest Payment Date to such account as will be specified in such written
request. Principal of and premium (if any) on the Series 2015C Bonds is payable in
lawful money of the United States of America upon presentation and surrender at the
Office of the Paying Agent.
(g) Provisions of Bond Purchase Agreement to Control. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section and the following provisions of Section 2.03, any of
the terms of the Series 2015C Bonds may be established or modified under the Bond
Purchase Agreement. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Resolution
and the Bond Purchase Agreement relating to the terms of the Series 2015C Bonds, the
provisions of the Bond Purchase Agreement will be controlling.
SECTION 2.03. Redemption of Series 2015C Bonds.
(a) Optional Redemption Dates and Prices. The Series 2015C Bonds are
subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the District, in whole or in part
among maturities on such basis as designated by the District and by lot within a
maturity, from any available source of funds, on the dates and at the respective
redemption prices as shall be designated in the Bond Purchase Agreement; provided,
however, that Capital Appreciation Bonds and Convertible Capital Appreciation Bonds
shall be subject to optional redemption beginning no later than ten years after the
Closing Date.
(b) Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. If the Bond Purchase Agreement
specifies that any one or more maturities of the Series 2015C Bonds are term bonds
which are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, each such maturity of Series
2015C Bonds shall be subject to such mandatory sinking fund redemption on August 1
in each of the years and in the respective principal amounts as set forth in the Bond
Purchase Agreement, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
-10-
thereof to be redeemed (without premium), together with interest accrued thereon to the
date fixed for redemption. If any such term bonds are redeemed under the provisions of
the preceding clause (a), the total amount of all future payments under this subsection
(b) with respect to such term bonds shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount
of such term bonds so redeemed, to be allocated among such payments on a pro rata
basis in integral multiples of $5,000 (or on such other basis as the District may
determined) as set forth in written notice given by the District to the Paying Agent.
(c) Selection of Series 2015C Bonds for Redemption. Whenever less than all
of the Outstanding Series 2015C Bonds of any one maturity are designated for
redemption, the Paying Agent shall select the Outstanding Series 2015C Bonds of such
maturity to be redeemed by lot in any manner deemed fair by the Paying Agent. For
purposes of such selection, each Current Interest Bond will be deemed to consist of
individual bonds of $5,000 portions (principal amount, Maturity Value or Conversion
Value, as applicable). The Series 2015C Bonds may all be separately redeemed.
(d) Redemption Procedure. The Paying Agent will cause notice of any
redemption to be mailed, first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days but not more
than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the respective Owners of any
Series 2015C Bonds designated for redemption, at their addresses appearing on the
Registration Books. Such mailing is not a condition precedent to such redemption and
the failure to mail or to receive any such notice will not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of such Series 2015C Bonds. In addition, the Paying
Agent will give notice of redemption by telecopy or certified, registered or overnight mail
to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board and each of the Securities Depositories at
least two days prior to such mailing to the Series 2015C Bond Owners.
Such notice shall state the redemption date and the redemption price and, if less
than all of the then Outstanding Series 2015C Bonds are to be called for redemption,
shall designate the serial numbers of the Series 2015C Bonds to be redeemed by giving
the individual number of each Series 2015C Bond or by stating that all Series 2015C
Bonds between two stated numbers, both inclusive, or by stating that all of the Series
2015C Bonds of one or more maturities have been called for redemption, and shall
require that such Series 2015C Bonds be then surrendered at the Office of the Paying
Agent for redemption at the said redemption price, giving notice also that further interest
on such Series 2015C Bonds will not accrue from and after the redemption date.
Upon surrender of Series 2015C Bonds redeemed in part only, the District shall
execute and the Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner, at the
expense of the District, a new Series 2015C Bond or Bonds, of the same maturity, of
authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the Series 2015C Bond or Bonds.
From and after the date fixed for redemption, if notice of such redemption has
been duly given and funds available for the payment of the principal of and interest (and
premium, if any) on the Series 2015C Bonds so called for redemption have been duly
provided, the Series 2015C Bonds called for redemption will cease to be entitled to any
benefit under this Resolution other than the right to receive payment of the redemption
price, and no interest will accrue thereon on or after the redemption date specified in the
notice. The Paying Agent will cancel all Series 2015C Bonds redeemed under this
Section and will furnish a certificate of cancellation to the District.
-11-
(e) Right to Rescind Notice of Redemption. The District has the right to rescind
any notice of the optional redemption of Series 2015C Bonds under subsection (a) of
this Section by written notice to the Paying Agent on or prior to the dated fixed for
redemption. Any notice of redemption shall be cancelled and annulled if for any reason
funds will not be or are not available on the date fixed for redemption for the payment in
full of the Series 2015C Bonds then called for redemption. The District and the Paying
Agent shall have no liability to the Series 2015C Bond Owners or any other party related
to or arising from such rescission of redemption. The Paying Agent shall mail notice of
such rescission of redemption in the same manner as the original notice of redemption
was sent under subsection (d) of this Section.
SECTION 2.04. Form of Series 2015C Bonds. The Current Interest Bonds, the
Capital Appreciation Bonds and the Convertible Capital Appreciation Bonds, the form of
the Paying Agent’s certificate of authentication and registration and the form of
assignment to appear thereon will be substantially in the forms, respectively, with
necessary or appropriate variations, omissions and insertions, as permitted or required
by this Resolution and the Bond Purchase Agreement, as are set forth in Appendix A
attached hereto.
SECTION 2.05. Execution of Series 2015C Bonds. The Series 2015C Bonds
shall be signed by the facsimile signature of the President of the Board and shall be
attested by the facsimile signature of the Clerk or Secretary of the Board. Only those
Series 2015C Bonds bearing a certificate of authentication and registration in the form
set forth in Appendix A attached hereto, executed and dated by the Paying Agent, shall
be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the benefits of this Resolution, and
such certificate of the Paying Agent is conclusive evidence that the Series 2015C Bonds
so registered have been duly authenticated, registered and delivered hereunder and are
entitled to the benefits of this Resolution.
SECTION 2.06. Transfer of Series 2015C Bonds. Subject to Section 2.10, any
Series 2015C Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred, upon the
Registration Books, by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his
duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Series 2015C Bond for cancellation at
the Office at the Paying Agent, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of

2015C Bonds). No exchange of Series 2015C Bonds is required to be made (a) 15 days

redemption or (b) with respect to a Series 2015C Bond after it has been selected for
redemption.
SECTION 2.08. Registration Books. The Paying Agent shall keep or cause to be
kept sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the Series 2015C Bonds, which
shall at all times be open to inspection by the District upon reasonable notice; and, upon
presentation for such purpose, the Paying Agent shall, under such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, register or transfer or cause to be registered or
transferred, on said books, Series 2015C Bonds as herein before provided.
SECTION 2.09. Book-Entry System. Except as provided below, DTC shall be the
Owner of all of the Series 2015C Bonds, and the Series 2015C Bonds shall be
registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for DTC. The Series 2015C Bonds
shall be initially executed and delivered in the form of a single fully registered Series
2015C Bond for each maturity date of the Series 2015C Bonds in the full aggregate
principal amount of the Series 2015C Bonds maturing on such date. The Paying Agent
and the District may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the
Series 2015C Bonds registered in its name for all purposes of this Resolution, and
neither the Paying Agent nor the District shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Paying Agent and the District have no responsibility or obligation to any Depository
System Participant, any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Series
2015C Bonds under or through DTC or a Depository System Participant, or any other
person which is not shown on the register of the District as being an owner, with respect
to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any Depository System Participant
or the payment by DTC or any Depository System Participant by DTC or any Depository
System Participant of any amount in respect of the principal or interest with respect to
the Series 2015C Bonds. The District shall cause to be paid all principal and interest
with respect to the Series 2015C Bonds only to DTC, and all such payments shall be
valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the District’s obligations with respect to
the principal and interest with respect to the Series 2015C Bonds to the extent of the
sum or sums so paid. Except under the conditions noted below, no person other than
DTC shall receive a Series 2015C Bond. Upon delivery by DTC to the District of written
notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of
Cede & Co., the term “Cede & Co.” in this Resolution shall refer to such new nominee of
DTC.
If the District determines that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners that
they be able to obtain Series 2015C Bonds and delivers a written certificate to DTC and
the District to that effect, DTC shall notify the Depository System Participants of the
availability through DTC of Series 2015C Bonds. In such event, the District shall issue,
transfer and exchange Series 2015C Bonds as requested by DTC and any other owners
in appropriate amounts.
DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the
Series 2015C Bonds at any time by giving notice to the District and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. Under such circumstances (if
there is no successor securities depository), the District shall be obligated to deliver
Series 2015C Bonds as described in this Resolution. Whenever DTC requests the
-13-
District to do so, the District will cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after
reasonable notice to (a) make available one or more separate Series 2015C Bonds
evidencing the Series 2015C Bonds to any Depository System Participant having Series
2015C Bonds credited to its DTC account or (b) arrange for another securities
depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the Series 2015C Bonds.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so long as
any Series 2015C Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all
payments with respect to the principal and interest with respect to such Series 2015C
Bond and all notices with respect to such Series 2015C Bond shall be made and given,
respectively, to DTC as provided in the representation letter delivered on the date of
issuance of the Series 2015C Bonds.
Section 2.10. Transfer Under Book-Entry System: Discontinuation of Book-Entry
System. Registered ownership of the Series 2015C Bonds, or any portion thereof, may
not be transferred except as follows:
(i) To any successor of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or its nominee, or to
any substitute depository designated pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section (a “substitute
depository”); provided that any successor of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC or
substitute depository, shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the services
proposed to be provided by it;
(ii) To any substitute depository not objected to by the District or the County,
upon (1) the resignation of DTC or its successor (or any substitute depository or its
successor) from its functions as depository, or (2) a determination by the County (upon
consultation with the District) to substitute another depository for DTC (or its successor)
because DTC or its successor (or any substitute depository or its successor) is no longer
able to carry out its functions as depository; provided, that any such substitute
depository shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the services proposed
to be provided by it; or
(iii) To any person upon (1) the resignation of DTC or its successor (or substitute
depository or its successor) from its functions as depository, or (2) a determination by

(a) Negotiated Sale Authorized. Pursuant to Section 53508.7 of the Bond Law,
the Board hereby expressly authorizes the negotiated sale of the Series 2015C Bonds to
George K. Baum & Company, as Underwriter. The Series 2015C Bonds shall be sold
pursuant to the Bond Purchase Agreement in substantially the form on file with the Clerk
of the Board with such changes therein, deletions therefrom and modifications thereto as
a District Representative may approve, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by
the execution and delivery of the Bond Purchase Agreement; provided that the Bond

Rate of not to exceed 8 percent per annum;
(ii) Capital Appreciation Bonds and Convertible Capital Appreciation
Bonds shall have a final maturity date of 25 years or less from the

provided that Current Interest Bonds having a maturity of greater
than 30 years shall only be issued if the finding required by (e)
below can be made;
(iii) the Series 2015C Bonds shall have a ratio of total debt service to
principal of not to exceed four to one;
(iv) Capital Appreciation Bonds and Convertible Capital Appreciation

(b) Reasons for Negotiated Sale. In accordance with Section 53508.7 of the
Bond Law, the Board has determined to sell the Series 2015C Bonds at negotiated sale
for the following reasons: (a) the District requires flexibility in determining whether the
Bonds will be issued as Current Interest Bonds, Capital Appreciation Bonds, Convertible
Capital Appreciation Bonds, or a combination thereof, and a negotiated sale provides
flexibility to make such determination at the time of the bond sale, (b) a negotiated sale
provides more flexibility to choose the time and date of the sale which is advantageous
in a volatile municipal bond market, and (c) a negotiated sale will permit the time
schedule for the issuance and sale of the Series 2015C Bonds to be expedited.
-15-
(c) Official Statement. The Board hereby approves, and hereby deems nearly
final within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Preliminary Official Statement describing the Series 2015C Bonds in substantially the
form on file with the Clerk of the Board. A District Representative is hereby authorized to
execute an appropriate certificate stating the Board’s determination that the Preliminary
Official Statement has been deemed nearly final within the meaning of such Rule. A
District Representative is hereby authorized and directed to approve any changes in or
additions to a final form of said Official Statement, and the execution thereof by a District
Representative shall be conclusive evidence of his or her approval of any such changes
and additions. The Board hereby authorizes the distribution of the Official Statement by
the Underwriter. The final Official Statement shall be executed in the name and on
behalf of the District by a District Representative.
(d) Estimates Regarding Assessed Valuations. The assumptions used in
connection with the issuance of the Series 2015C Bonds with respect to assessed
valuation growth each year following the issuance of the Series 2015C Bonds until final

(e) Finding Regarding Useful Life. The Board hereby authorizes the issuance of
a portion of the Series 2015C Bonds as Current Interest Bonds which have a maturity
greater than 30 years but not greater than 40 years pursuant to Government Code
Section 53508.6, but only if the useful life of the facilities which are financed with the
proceeds of Series 2015C Bonds having a maturity greater than 30 years equals or
exceeds the maturity date of such Series 2015C Bonds. A District Representative who
is familiar with the projects to be financed with the proceeds of the Series 2015C Bonds
is authorized to make such determination and to execute a certificate to such effect in
the event the Current Interest Bonds have a maturity greater than 30 years.
(f) Actions to Close Bond Issuance. Each District Representative and any and
all other officers of the District are each authorized and directed in the name and on
behalf of the District to execute and deliver any and all certificates, requisitions,
agreements, notices, consents, warrants and other documents, which they or any of
them might deem necessary or appropriate in order to consummate the lawful issuance,
sale and delivery of the Series 2015C Bonds, including but not limited to the execution
and delivery of a document with respect to the engagement of the Paying Agent
appointed hereby, and the payment of Costs of Issuance. Whenever in this Resolution
any officer of the District is authorized to execute or countersign any document or take
any action, such execution, countersigning or action may be taken on behalf of such
officer by any person designated by such officer to act on his or her behalf if such officer
is absent or unavailable.
SECTION 3.02. Application of Proceeds of Sale of Series 2015C Bonds. The
proceeds of the Series 2015C Bonds paid to the County Treasurer on the Closing Date
shall be applied by the County Treasurer as follows:
(a) The portion of the proceeds representing the premium (if any)
received by the County Treasurer on the sale of the Series 2015C
Bonds will be deposited in the Debt Service Fund established
pursuant to Section 4.02.
-16-
(b) All remaining proceeds received by the County Treasurer from the
sale of the Series 2015C Bonds will be deposited in the Building

the payment of Costs of Issuance.
SECTION 3.03. Building Fund. The County Auditor-Controller shall create and
maintain a fund designated as the “Byron Union School District, 2006 Election, Series
2015C Building Fund,” into which the proceeds from the sale of the Series 2015C Bonds
shall be deposited, to the extent required under Section 3.02(b). In order to ensure that
the District is able to meet its federal tax law covenants with respect to separate
accounting of funds holding proceeds of the Series 2015C Bonds, the County Auditor-
Controller is requested to maintain separate accounting for the proceeds of the Series
2015C Bonds, including all earnings received from the investment thereof. Amounts
credited to the Building Fund for the Series 2015C Bonds shall be expended by the
District solely for the financing of projects for which the Series 2015C Bond proceeds are
authorized to be expended under Measure C (which includes related Costs of Issuance),
which include payment of interim financing of Measure C projects including the 2011
BAN. All interest and other gain arising from the investment of proceeds of the Series
2015C Bonds shall be retained in the Building Fund and used for the purposes thereof.
At the Written Request of the District filed with the County Auditor-Controller, any
amounts remaining on deposit in the Building Fund and not needed for the purposes
thereof shall be withdrawn from the Building Fund and transferred to the Debt Service
Fund, to be applied to pay the principal of and interest on the Series 2015C Bonds.
If excess amounts remain on deposit in the Building Fund after payment in full of
the Series 2015C Bonds, any such excess amounts shall be transferred to the general
fund of the District, to be applied for the purposes for which the Series 2015C Bonds
have been authorized or otherwise in accordance with the Bond Law.
SECTION 3.04. Professionals; Estimated Financing Costs. The firm of Caldwell,
Flores, Winters Inc., has previously been engaged to act as the District’s financial
advisor, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Series 2015C Bonds. The firm
of Jones Hall, A Professional Law Corporation, is engaged to act as the District’s bond
counsel and disclosure counsel, in accordance with the agreement on file with the
District Representative, who is authorized to execute such agreement. The estimated
costs of issuance associated with the bond sale are $100,000, which includes bond
counsel and disclosure counsel fees, costs of printing the Official Statement, financial
advisor fees, rating agency fees, and paying agent fees, but which do not include
underwriting fees (which will be determined at the time of sale of the Series 2015C
Bonds in accordance with Section 3.01(a)(v)) and the cost of municipal bond insurance,
if obtained. Such estimate assumes that the Series 2015C Bonds are issued
simultaneously with other series of general obligation bonds of the District, and portions
of the costs will be shared. In accordance with Government Code Section 53509.5,
actual cost information relating to the sale of the Series 2015C Bonds shall be presented
to the Board of Trustees at its next public meeting following the sale of the Series 2015C

to pay all or a portion of Costs of Issuance.

its political subdivisions other than the District, or any of the officers, agents or

Bonds, including the interest thereon, are payable solely from taxes levied under
Sections 15250 and 15252 of the Education Code.
As required by Education Code Section 15140(c), the District shall transmit a
copy of this resolution, together with the debt service schedule for the Series 2015C
Bonds, to the office of the County Auditor-Controller and County Treasurer in sufficient
time to permit the County to establish tax rates for the Series 2015C Bonds.
SECTION 4.02. Establishment of Debt Service Fund. The District hereby directs

account, distinct from all other funds of the County and the District. All taxes levied by
the County, at the request of the District, for the payment of the principal of and interest
and premium (if any) on the Series 2015C Bonds shall be deposited in the Debt Service

sinking fund redemption thereof. Amounts in the Debt Service Fund shall be transferred
by the County Auditor-Controller to the Paying Agent to the extent required to pay the
principal of and interest and redemption premium (if any) on the Series 2015C Bonds
when due. In addition, amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Fund shall be applied to
pay the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent insofar as permitted by law, including
specifically by Section 15232 of the Education Code.
SECTION 4.03. Disbursements From Debt Service Fund. The County Auditor-
Controller shall administer the Debt Service Fund and make disbursements therefrom in
the manner set forth in this Section. The County Auditor-Controller shall transfer
amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Fund, to the extent necessary to pay the
principal of and interest on the Series 2015C Bonds when due and payable, to the
Paying Agent which, in turn, shall pay such moneys to DTC to pay the principal of and
interest on the Series 2015C Bonds. DTC will thereupon make payments of principal
and interest on the Series 2015C Bonds to the DTC Participants who will thereupon
make payments of principal and interest to the beneficial owners of the Series 2015C
Bonds. If, after payment in full of the Series 2015C Bonds, and all other general
obligation bonded indebtedness of the District, any amounts remain on deposit in the
Debt Service Fund, the County shall transfer such amounts to the General Fund of the
District as provided in Section 15234 of the Education Code.
SECTION 4.04. Investments. All moneys held in any of the funds or accounts
established with the County hereunder may be invested in Authorized Investments in
accordance with the investment policies of the County, as such policies exist at the time
of investment. Obligations purchased as an investment of moneys in any fund or
account will be deemed to be part of such fund or account. The County has no
responsibility in the reporting, reconciling and monitoring of the investment of the
proceeds of the Bonds.
All interest or gain derived from the investment of amounts in any of the funds or
accounts established hereunder shall be deposited in the fund or account from which
such investment was made, and shall be expended for the purposes thereof. The
District covenants that all investments of amounts deposited in any fund or account
created by or under this Resolution, or otherwise containing proceeds of the Series
2015C Bonds, shall be acquired and disposed of at the Fair Market Value thereof. For
purposes of this Section, the term “Fair Market Value” shall mean, with respect to any
investment, the price at which a willing buyer would purchase such investment from a
willing seller in a bona fide, arm’s length transaction (determined as of the date the
contract to purchase or sell the investment becomes binding) if the investment is traded
on an established securities market (within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Tax
Code) and, otherwise, the term “Fair Market Value” means the acquisition price in a
bona fide arm’s length transaction (as described above) if (i) the investment is a

(c) No Arbitrage. The District shall not take, or permit or suffer to be taken by
the Paying Agent or the County or otherwise, any action with respect to the proceeds of

Section 148 of the Tax Code.
-20-
(d) Maintenance of Tax-Exemption. The District shall take all actions necessary
to assure the exclusion of interest on the Series 2015C Bonds from the gross income of

agent and authentication agent for the Series 2015C Bonds. The Paying Agent
undertakes to perform such duties, and only such duties, as are specifically set forth in
this Resolution, and even during the continuance of an event of default with respect to
the Series 2015C Bonds, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Resolution against the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall signify its acceptance of
the duties and obligations imposed upon it by the District by executing and delivering to
the District a certificate or agreement to that effect. A District Representative is
authorized to enter into a paying agency agreement in connection with such
appointment.
The District may remove the Paying Agent initially appointed, and any successor

unreasonably be withheld) may appoint a successor or successors thereto, but any such
successor shall be a bank or trust company doing business and having an office in the
State of California, having a combined capital (exclusive of borrowed capital) and
surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authority. If such bank or trust company publishes a report of condition at least
annually, under law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority
above referred to, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus
of such bank or trust company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
The Paying Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice to the District
and the Series 2015C Bond Owners of such resignation. Upon receiving notice of such
resignation, with the written consent of the County Treasurer (which shall not
unreasonably be withheld) the District shall promptly appoint a successor Paying Agent
by an instrument in writing. Any resignation or removal of the Paying Agent and
appointment of a successor Paying Agent will become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor Paying Agent.
SECTION 6.02. Paying Agent May Hold Series 2015C Bonds. The Paying Agent
may become the owner of any of the Series 2015C Bonds in its own or any other
capacity with the same rights it would have if it were not Paying Agent.

agreements herein and in the Series 2015C Bonds contained shall be taken as
statements, covenants and agreements of the District, and the Paying Agent assumes
no responsibility for the correctness of the same, nor makes any representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Resolution or of the Series 2015C Bonds, nor shall incur
-22-
any responsibility in respect thereof, other than as set forth in this Resolution. The
Paying Agent is not liable in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder,
except for its own negligence or willful default.
In the absence of bad faith, the Paying Agent may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Paying Agent and conforming to the
requirements of this Resolution.
The Paying Agent is not liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
responsible officer of its corporate trust department in the absence of the negligence of
the Paying Agent.
No provision of this Resolution shall require the Paying Agent to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it has reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
The Paying Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any
duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Paying
Agent is not responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or
attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.
SECTION 6.04. Notice to Paying Agent. The Paying Agent may rely and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any notice, resolution, request,
consent, order, certificate, report, warrant, bond or other paper or document believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or proper
parties. The Paying Agent may consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the District,
with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance therewith.
Whenever in the administration of its duties under this Resolution the Paying
Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior
to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on the
part of the Paying Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a
certificate of the District, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Paying Agent for
any action taken or suffered under the provisions of this Resolution upon the faith
thereof, but in its discretion the Paying Agent may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence
of such matter or may require such additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable.
SECTION 6.05. Compensation; Indemnification. The District shall pay to the
Paying Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered under
this Resolution, and also all reasonable expenses, charges, counsel fees and other
disbursements, including those of their attorneys, agents and employees, incurred in and
about the performance of their powers and duties under this Resolution. The District
further agrees to indemnify and save the Paying Agent harmless against any liabilities
which it may incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder
which are not due to its negligence or bad faith.

REMEDIES OF SERIES 2015C BOND OWNERS
SECTION 7.01. Remedies of Series 2015C Bond Owners. Any Series 2015C
Bond Owner has the right, for the equal benefit and protection of all Series 2015C Bond
Owners similarly situated:
(a) by mandamus, suit, action or proceeding, to compel the District and
its members, officers, agents or employees to perform each and
every term, provision and covenant contained in this Resolution and
in the Series 2015C Bonds, and to require the carrying out of any or
all such covenants and agreements of the District 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 Series 2015C Bond
Owners’ rights; or
(c) upon the happening and continuation of any default by the District
hereunder or under the Series 2015C Bonds, by suit, action or
proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction, to require the
District and its members and employees to account as if it and they
were the trustees of an express trust.
SECTION 7.02. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon the
Owners of Series 2015C Bonds is exclusive of any other remedy. Each and every
remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or thereafter conferred on the Series 2015C Bond Owners.
SECTION 7.03. Non-Waiver. Nothing in this Article VII or in any other provision of
this Resolution or in the Series 2015C Bonds, affects or impairs the obligation of the
District, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on the
Series 2015C Bonds to the respective Owners of the Series 2015C Bonds at the
respective dates of maturity, as herein provided, or affects or impairs the right of action
against the District, which is also absolute and unconditional, of such Owners to institute
suit against the District to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in
the Series 2015C Bonds.
A waiver of any default by any Series 2015C Bond Owner shall not affect any
subsequent default or impair any rights or remedies on the subsequent default. No
delay or omission of any Owner of any of the Series 2015C Bonds 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 Series 2015C Bond Owners by this Article VII
may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed
expedient by the Owners of the Series 2015C Bonds.
-24-
If a suit, action or proceeding to enforce any right or exercise any remedy be
abandoned or determined adversely to the Series 2015C Bond Owners, the District and
the Series 2015C Bond Owners shall be restored to their former positions, rights and
remedies as if such suit, action or proceeding had not been brought or taken.
ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 9.01. Benefits of Resolution Limited to Parties. Nothing in this
Resolution, expressed or implied, gives any person other than the District, the County,
the Paying Agent and the Owners of the Series 2015C Bonds, any right, remedy, claim
under or by reason of this Resolution. The covenants, stipulations, promises or
agreements in this Resolution are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Owners of the
Series 2015C Bonds.
SECTION 9.02. Defeasance of Series 2015C Bonds.
(a) Discharge of Resolution. Any or all of the Series 2015C Bonds may be
paid by the District in any of the following ways, provided that the District also pays or
causes to be paid any other sums payable hereunder by the District:
(i) by paying or causing to be paid the principal or redemption price of
and interest on such Series 2015C Bonds, as and when the same
become due and payable;
(ii) by irrevocably depositing, in trust, at or before maturity, money or

hereof) to pay or redeem such Series 2015C Bonds; or
(iii) by delivering such Series 2015C Bonds to the Paying Agent for
cancellation by it.
If the District pays all Outstanding Series 2015C Bonds and also pays or causes
to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the District, then and in that case, at the
election of the District (evidenced by a certificate of a District Representative filed with
the Paying Agent, signifying the intention of the District to discharge all such
indebtedness and this Resolution), and notwithstanding that any Series 2015C Bonds
have not been surrendered for payment, this Resolution and other assets made under
this Resolution and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the District under
this Resolution shall cease, terminate, become void and be completely discharged and
satisfied, except only as provided in Section 9.02(b). In such event, upon request of the
District, the Paying Agent shall cause an accounting for such period or periods as may
be requested by the District to be prepared and filed with the District and shall execute
and deliver to the District all such instruments as may be necessary to evidence such
discharge and satisfaction, and the Paying Agent shall pay over, transfer, assign or
deliver to the District all moneys or securities or other property held by it under this
Resolution which are not required for the payment or redemption of Series 2015C Bonds
not theretofore surrendered for such payment or redemption.
(b) Discharge of Liability on Series 2015C Bonds. Upon the deposit, in trust, at
or before maturity, of money or securities in the necessary amount (as provided in
Section 9.02(c) hereof) to pay or redeem any Outstanding Series 2015C Bond (whether
upon or prior to its maturity or the redemption date of such Series 2015C Bond),
provided that, if such Series 2015C Bond is to be redeemed prior to maturity, notice of
-26-
such redemption has been given as provided in Section 2.03 or provision satisfactory to
the Paying Agent has been made for the giving of such notice, then all liability of the
District in respect of such Series 2015C Bond shall cease and be completely discharged,
except only that thereafter the Owner thereof shall be entitled only to payment of the
principal of and interest on such Series 2015C Bond by the District, and the District shall
remain liable for such payment, but only out of such money or securities deposited with
the Paying Agent as aforesaid for such payment, provided further, however, that the
provisions of Section 9.02(d) shall apply in all events.
The District may at any time surrender to the Paying Agent for cancellation by it
any Series 2015C Bonds previously issued and delivered, which the District may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and such Series 2015C Bonds, upon such
surrender and cancellation, shall be deemed to be paid and retired.
(c) Deposit of Money or Securities with Paying Agent. Whenever in this
Resolution it is provided or permitted that there be deposited with or held in trust by the
Paying Agent money or securities in the necessary amount to pay or redeem any Series
2015C Bonds, the money or securities so to be deposited or held may include money or
securities held by the Paying Agent in the funds and accounts established under this
Resolution and shall be:
(i) lawful money of the United States of America in an amount equal to
the principal amount of such Series 2015C Bonds and all unpaid
interest thereon to maturity, except that, in the case of Series 2015C
Bonds which are to be redeemed prior to maturity and in respect of
which notice of such redemption has been given as provided in
Section 2.03 or provision satisfactory to the Paying Agent has been
made for the giving of such notice, the amount to be deposited or
held shall be the principal amount or redemption price of such
Series 2015C Bonds and all unpaid interest thereon to the
redemption date; or
(ii) Federal Securities (not callable by the issuer thereof prior to
maturity) the principal of and interest on which when due, in the
opinion of a certified public accountant delivered to the District, will
provide money sufficient to pay the principal or redemption price of
and all unpaid interest to maturity, or to the redemption date, as the
case may be, on the Series 2015C Bonds to be paid or redeemed,
as such principal or redemption price and interest become due,
provided that, in the case of Series 2015C Bonds which are to be
redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, notice of such redemption
has been given as provided in Section 2.03 or provision satisfactory
to the Paying Agent has been made for the giving of such notice.
(d) Payment of Series 2015C Bonds After Discharge of Resolution.
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Resolution, any moneys held by the Paying Agent
in trust for the payment of the principal or redemption price of, or interest on, any Series
2015C Bonds and remaining unclaimed for two years after the principal of all of the
Series 2015C Bonds has become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for
redemption or by acceleration as provided in this Resolution), if such moneys were so
held at such date, or two years after the date of deposit of such moneys if deposited
-27-
after said date when all of the Series 2015C Bonds became due and payable, shall,
upon request of the District, be repaid to the District free from the trusts created by this
Resolution, and all liability of the Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall
thereupon cease; provided, however, that before the repayment of such moneys to the
District as aforesaid, the Paying Agent may (at the cost of the District) first mail to the
Owners of all Series 2015C Bonds which have not been paid at the addresses shown on
the Registration Books a notice in such form as may be deemed appropriate by the
Paying Agent, with respect to the Series 2015C Bonds so payable and not presented
and with respect to the provisions relating to the repayment to the District of the moneys
held for the payment thereof. Thereafter, the District shall remain liable to the Owners for
payment of any amounts due on the Series 2015C Bonds, which amounts shall be
deemed to be paid by the District from moneys remitted to it by the Paying Agent under
this subsection (d).
SECTION 9.03. Application of Provisions to Capital Appreciation Bonds and
Convertible Capital Appreciation Bonds. Whenever in this Resolution reference is made
to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2015C Bonds, such
reference includes payment of the Accreted Value and Maturity Value of the Capital
Appreciation Bonds and the Conversion Value of the Convertible Capital Appreciation
Bonds, as applicable, unless otherwise required by the context or by the express
provisions of such reference.
SECTION 9.04. Execution of Documents and Proof of Ownership by Series
2015C Bond Owners. Any request, declaration or other instrument which this Resolution
may require or permit to be executed by Series 2015C Bond Owners may be in one or
more instruments of similar tenor, and shall be executed by Series 2015C Bond Owners
in person or by their attorneys appointed in writing.
Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the fact and date of the execution
by any Series 2015C Bond Owner or his attorney of such request, declaration or other
instrument, or of such writing appointing such attorney, may be proved by the certificate
of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be
recorded in the state in which he purports to act, that the person signing such request,
declaration or other instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or
by an affidavit of a witness of such execution, duly sworn to before such notary public or
other officer.
Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the ownership of registered
Series 2015C Bonds and the amount, maturity, number and date of holding the same
shall be proved by the Registration Books.
Any request, declaration or other instrument or writing of the Owner of any Series
2015C Bond shall bind all future Owners of such Series 2015C Bond in respect of
anything done or suffered to be done by the District or the Paying Agent in good faith
and in accordance therewith.
SECTION 9.05. Waiver of Personal Liability. No Board member, officer, agent or
employee of the District shall be individually or personally liable for the payment of the
principal of or interest on the Series 2015C Bonds; but nothing herein contained shall
relieve any such Board member, officer, agent or employee from the performance of any
official duly provided by law.
-28-
SECTION 9.06. Limited Duties of County; Indemnification. Notwithstanding
anything stated to the contrary in this Resolution, the Series 2015C Bonds are not a debt
of the County, including its Board, officers, officials, agents and employees, and the
County, including its Board, officers, officials, agents and employees, has no obligation
to repay the Series 2015C Bonds. Neither the County, nor its Board of Supervisors, nor
any officer, official, agent or employee of the County, shall have any obligation or liability
hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby other than as
specified in the Education Code. The Series 2015C Bonds, including the interest
thereon, are payable solely from taxes levied under Section 15250 of the Education
Code. The County has no responsibility and assumes no liability whatsoever arising
from the expenditure of the proceeds of the Series 2015C Bonds by the District.
The County (including its officers, agents and employees) shall undertake only
those duties of the County under this Resolution which are specifically set forth in this
Resolution and in applicable provisions of the Bond Law and the Education Code, and
even during the continuance of an event of default with respect to the Series 2015C
Bonds, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Resolution against the
County (including its officers, agents and employees).
The District further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent
permitted by law, the County, including its officers, agents and employees (the
“Indemnified Parties”) against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, which it may incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties
hereunder, including legal and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating
or defending any such claims or actions, which are not due to its negligence or bad faith.
SECTION 9.07. Destruction of Canceled Series 2015C Bonds. Whenever in this
Resolution provision is made for the surrender to the District of any Series 2015C Bonds
which have been paid or canceled under the provisions of this Resolution, a certificate of
destruction duly executed by the Paying Agent shall be deemed to be the equivalent of
the surrender of such canceled Series 2015C Bonds and the District shall be entitled to
rely upon any statement of fact contained in any certificate with respect to the
destruction of any such Series 2015C Bonds therein referred to.
SECTION 9.08. Partial Invalidity. If any section, paragraph, sentence, clause or
phrase of this Resolution shall for any reason be held illegal or unenforceable, such
holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution. The
District hereby declares that it would have adopted this Resolution and each and every
other section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof and authorized the issue of
the Series 2015C Bonds pursuant thereto irrespective of the fact that any one or more
sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Resolution may be held
illegal, invalid or unenforceable. If, by reason of the judgment of any court, the District is
rendered unable to perform its duties hereunder, all such duties and all of the rights and
powers of the District hereunder shall be assumed by and vest in the chief financial
officer of the District in trust for the benefit of the Series 2015C Bond Owners.

or by a person legally empowered to do so, in a form satisfactory to the Paying Agent, all

amounts will change dependent on market conditions on the day of sale.
5. Comparison of #4 to overall cost if instead of CABs, the District issued CIBs.
- The difference in the overall debt service cost between Illustrative Option
1 and 2 is estimated at $2.3 million. However, Illustrative Option 1 would
require a tax rate in excess of the Proposition 39 tax rate limit of $30.00
per $100,000 of assessed value for non-unified school districts and is not
permissible under current State Law.
6. Reason for recommending CABs.
- The minimal amount of CABs utilized to achieve the District’s stated goals
is recommended to be included in the authorizing resolution to allow the
District to issue all of its remaining bond authorization from the 2006
Election. Proceeds from the bonds would be used to repay the District’s
outstanding BAN scheduled to mature on September 1, 2015 and fund
additional projects while remaining below the Proposition 39 tax rate limit
of $30.00 per $100,000 of assessed value. The District is also utilizing
CABs to eliminate the additional costs of issuance associated with a
subsequent bond sale that would be required to access the remaining
authorization if CABs were not used.
