Section 7 Issuance of Bonds in Book-Entry Form; Replacement Bonds.
(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Resolution regarding registration, ownership,
transfer, payment and exchange of the Bonds, unless the Issuer determines to permit the exchange
of Depository Bonds for Bonds in the Authorized Denominations, the Bonds shall be issued as
Depository Bonds in denominations of the entire principal amount of each maturity of Bonds (or, if a
portion of the principal amount is prepaid, the principal amount less the prepaid amount); and such
Depository Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Payment of
semi-annual interest for any Depository Bond shall be made by wire transfer or New York Clearing
House or equivalent next day funds to the account of Cede & Co. on the interest payment date for the
Bonds at the address indicated in or pursuant to the Representation Letter.
(b) With respect to Depository Bonds, neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall have any
responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any Beneficial Owner. Without limiting the
immediately preceding sentence, neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility
or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any Participant
with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant, any Beneficial
Owner or any other person, other than DTC or its nominee, of any notice with respect to the Bonds,
(iii) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than DTC or its
nominee, of any amount with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, or
(iv) the failure of DTC to provide any information or notification on behalf of any Participant or
Beneficial Owner.
The Issuer and the Paying Agent may treat DTC or its nominee as, and deem DTC or its nominee
15
to be, the absolute owner of each Bond for the purpose of payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on such Bond, for the purpose of all other matters with respect to such Bond, for the
purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever
(except for the giving of certain Bondholder consents, in accordance with the practices and
procedures of DTC as may be applicable thereto). The Paying Agent shall pay all principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the Bondholders as shown on
the Registration Books, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and
discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds to the extent so paid. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Resolution to the contrary
(including without limitation those provisions relating to the surrender of Bonds, registration thereof,
and issuance in Authorized Denominations), as long as the Bonds are Depository Bonds, full effect
shall be given to the Representation Letter and the procedures and practices of DTC thereunder, and
the Paying Agent shall comply therewith.
(c) Upon (i) a determination by the Issuer that DTC is no longer able to carry out its functions or is
otherwise determined unsatisfactory, or (ii) a determination by DTC that the Bonds are no longer
eligible for its depository services or (iii) a determination by the Paying Agent that DTC has resigned
or discontinued its services for the Bonds, if such substitution is authorized by law, the Issuer shall
(A) designate a satisfactory substitute depository as set forth below or, if a satisfactory substitute is
not found, (B) provide for the exchange of Depository Bonds for replacement Bonds in Authorized
Denominations.
(d) To the extent authorized by law, if the Issuer determines to provide for the exchange of
Depository Bonds for Bonds in Authorized Denominations, the Issuer shall so notify the Paying Agent
and shall provide the Registrar with a supply of executed unauthenticated Bonds to be so exchanged.
The Registrar shall thereupon notify the owners of the Bonds and provide for such exchange, and to
the extent that the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the owners, the Bonds will
be delivered in appropriate form, content and Authorized Denominations to the Beneficial Owners, as
their interests appear.
(e) Any substitute depository shall be designated in writing by the Issuer to the Paying Agent. Any
such substitute depository shall be a qualified and registered "clearing agency" as provided in Section
17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The substitute depository shall provide for
(i) immobilization of the Depository Bonds, (ii) registration and transfer of interests in Depository
Bonds by book entries made on records of the depository or its nominee and (iii) payment of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds in accordance with and as such interests may appear
with respect to such book entries.
Section 8. Registration of Bonds; Appointment of Registrar; Transfer; Ownership; Delivery; and
Cancellation.
(a) Registration. The ownership of Bonds may be transferred only by the making of an entry upon
the books kept for the registration and transfer of ownership of the Bonds, and in no other way. Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby appointed as Bond Registrar under the terms of this
Resolution and under the provisions of a separate agreement with the Issuer filed herewith which is
made a part hereof by this reference. Registrar shall maintain the books of the Issuer for the
registration of ownership of the Bonds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds as
provided in this Resolution. All Bonds shall be negotiable as provided in Article 8 of the Uniform
Commercial Code and Section 384.31 of the Code of Iowa, subject to the provisions for registration
and transfer contained in the Bonds and in this Resolution.
(b) Transfer. The ownership of any Bond may be transferred only upon the Registration Books kept
for the registration and transfer of Bonds and only upon surrender thereof at the office of the Registrar
together with an assignment duly executed by the holder or his duly authorized attorney in fact in
such form as shall be satisfactory to the Registrar, along with the address and social security number
16
or federal employer identification number of such transferee (or, if registration is to be made in the
name of multiple individuals, of all such transferees). In the event that the address of the registered
owner of a Bond (other than a registered owner which is the nominee of the broker or dealer in
question) is that of a broker or dealer, there must be disclosed on the Registration Books the
information pertaining to the registered owner required above. Upon the transfer of any such Bond, a
new fully registered Bond, of any denomination or denominations permitted by this Resolution in
aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed principal amount of such
transferred fully registered Bond, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same
date or dates shall be delivered by the Registrar.
(c) Registration of Transferred Bonds. In all cases of the transfer of the Bonds, the Registrar shall
register, at the earliest practicable time, on the Registration Books, the Bonds, in accordance with the
provisions of this Resolution.
(d) Ownership. As to any Bond, the person in whose name the ownership of the same shall be
registered on the Registration Books of the Registrar shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of or on account of the principal of any such Bonds and
the premium, if any, and interest thereon shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered
owner thereof or his legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability upon such Bond, including the interest thereon, to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid.
(e) Cancellation. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall not be reissued but shall be cancelled
by the Registrar. All Bonds which are cancelled by the Registrar shall be destroyed and a certificate
of the destruction thereof shall be furnished promptly to the Issuer; provided that if the Issuer shall so
direct, the Registrar shall forward the cancelled Bonds to the Issuer.
(f) Non-Presentment of Bonds. In the event any payment check representing payment of principal
of or interest on the Bonds is returned to the Paying Agent or if any bond is not presented for
payment of principal at the maturity or redemption date, if funds sufficient to pay such principal of or
interest on Bonds shall have been made available to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the owner
thereof, all liability of the Issuer to the owner thereof for such interest or payment of such Bonds shall
forthwith cease, terminate and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the
Paying Agent to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the owner of
such Bonds who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of whatever
nature on his part under this Resolution or on, or with respect to, such interest or Bonds. The Paying
Agent's obligation to hold such funds shall continue for a period equal to two years and six months
following the date on which such interest or principal became due, whether at maturity, or at the date
fixed for redemption thereof, or otherwise, at which time the Paying Agent, shall surrender any
remaining funds so held to the Issuer, whereupon any claim under this Resolution by the Owners of
such interest or Bonds of whatever nature shall be made upon the Issuer.
(g) Registration and Transfer Fees. The Registrar may furnish to each owner, at the Issuer's
expense, one bond for each annual maturity. The Registrar shall furnish additional bonds in lesser
denominations (but not less than the minimum denomination) to an owner who so requests.
Section 9. Reissuance of Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost Bonds. In case any outstanding
Bond shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at the request of
Registrar authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like tenor and amount as the Bond so mutilated,
destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon
surrender of such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost,
upon filing with the Registrar evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond has
been destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the Registrar and
Issuer with satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other reasonable regulations as the Issuer
or its agent may prescribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer may incur in connection
17
therewith.
Section 10. Record Date. Payments of principal and interest, otherwise than upon full redemption,
made in respect of any Bond, shall be made to the registered holder thereof or to their designated
agent as the same appear on the books of the Registrar on the 15th day preceding the payment date.
All such payments shall fully discharge the obligations of the Issuer in respect of such Bonds to the
extent of the payments so made. Payment of principal shall only be made upon surrender of the Bond
to the Paying Agent.
Section 11. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of the Bonds. Upon the adoption of this
Resolution, the Mayor and Clerk shall execute and deliver the Bonds to the Registrar, who shall
authenticate the Bonds and deliver the same to or upon order of the Purchaser. No Bond shall be
valid or obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled to any right or benefit hereunder unless the
Registrar shall duly endorse and execute on such Bond a Certificate of Authentication substantially in
the form of the Certificate herein set forth. Such Certificate upon any Bond executed on behalf of the
Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so authenticated has been duly issued under this
Resolution and that the holder thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Resolution.
No Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered by the Registrar unless and until there shall have
been provided the following:
1. A certified copy of the Resolution of Issuer authorizing the issuance of the Bonds;
2. A written order of Issuer signed by the Treasurer of the Issuer directing the
authentication and delivery of the Bonds to or upon the order of the Purchaser upon payment

a substitute, successor Registrar or Paying Agent upon giving prompt written notice to each
registered bondholder.
Section 13. Form of Bond. Bonds shall be printed in substantial compliance with standards
proposed by the American Standards Institute substantially in the form as [provided].
Interest and principal shall be paid to the registered holder of the Bond as shown on the records of
ownership maintained by the Registrar as of the 15th day preceding such interest payment date.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
This Bond is issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 384.25 of the City Code of Iowa, for the
purpose of paying costs of the construction of stormwater management facilities and improvements,
including those costs associated with the acquisition of properties for the Bee Branch Creek
Restoration Project, in conformity to a Resolution of the Council of the City duly passed and
approved.
Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust
Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer,
exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such
other name as requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede
& Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY
PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest
herein.
Bonds maturing after June 1, 2016 may be called for redemption by the Issuer and paid before
maturity on that date or any date thereafter, from any funds regardless of source, in whole or from
time to time in part, in any order of maturity and within an annual maturity by lot. The terms of
redemption shall be par, plus accrued interest to date of call.
Thirty days' notice of redemption shall be given by first class mail to the registered owner of the
18
Bond. Failure to give such notice by mail to any registered owner of the Bonds or any defect therein
shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of the Bonds. All Bonds or portions
thereof called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided
funds for their redemption are on deposit at the place of payment.
If selection by lot within a maturity is required, the Registrar shall designate the Bonds to be
redeemed by random selection of the names of the registered owners of the entire annual maturity
until the total amount of Bonds to be called has been reached.
Ownership of this Bond may be transferred only by transfer upon the books kept for such purpose
by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Registrar. Such transfer on the books shall occur only
upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the office of the Registrar as designated below,
together with an assignment duly executed by the owner hereof or his duly authorized attorney in the
form as shall be satisfactory to the Registrar. Issuer reserves the right to substitute the Registrar and
Paying Agent but shall, however, promptly give notice to registered bondholders of such change. All
bonds shall be negotiable as provided in Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code and Section
384.31 of the Code of Iowa, subject to the provisions for registration and transfer contained in the
Bond Resolution.

Section 14. Contract Between Issuer and Purchaser. This Resolution constitutes a contract
between the City and the purchaser of the Bonds.
Section 15. Non-Arbitrage Covenants. The Issuer reasonably expects and covenants that no use
will be made of the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Bonds issued hereunder which will

Tax Exemption Certificate and the provisions of the Tax Exemption Certificate are hereby
incorporated by reference as part of this Resolution. The Treasurer is hereby directed to make and

Section 7. Issuance of Bonds in Book-Entry Form; Replacement Bonds.
(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Resolution regarding registration, ownership,
transfer, payment and exchange of the Bonds, unless the Issuer determines to permit the exchange
of Depository Bonds for Bonds in the Authorized Denominations, the Bonds shall be issued as
Depository Bonds in denominations of the entire principal amount of each maturity of Bonds (or, if a
portion of the principal amount is prepaid, the principal amount less the prepaid amount); and such
Depository Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Payment of
semi-annual interest for any Depository Bond shall be made by wire transfer or New York Clearing
House or equivalent next day funds to the account of Cede & Co. on the interest payment date for the
Bonds at the address indicated in or pursuant to the Representation Letter.
(b) With respect to Depository Bonds, neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall have any
responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any Beneficial Owner. Without limiting the
immediately preceding sentence, neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility
or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any Participant
with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant, any Beneficial
Owner or any other person, other than DTC or its nominee, of any notice with respect to the Bonds,
(iii) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than DTC or its
nominee, of any amount with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, or
(iv) the failure of DTC to provide any information or notification on behalf of any Participant or
Beneficial Owner.
The Issuer and the Paying Agent may treat DTC or its nominee as, and deem DTC or its nominee
to be, the absolute owner of each Bond for the purpose of payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on such Bond, for the purpose of all other matters with respect to such Bond, for the
purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever
(except for the giving of certain Bondholder consents, in accordance with the practices and
procedures of DTC as may be applicable thereto). The Paying Agent shall pay all principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the Bondholders as shown on
the Registration Books, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and
discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds to the extent so paid. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Resolution to the contrary
(including without limitation those provisions relating to the surrender of Bonds, registration thereof,
and issuance in Authorized Denominations), as long as the Bonds are Depository Bonds, full effect
25
shall be given to the Representation Letter and the procedures and practices of DTC thereunder, and
the Paying Agent shall comply therewith.
(c) Upon (i) a determination by the Issuer that DTC is no longer able to carry out its functions or is
otherwise determined unsatisfactory, or (ii) a determination by DTC that the Bonds are no longer
eligible for its depository services or (iii) a determination by the Paying Agent that DTC has resigned
or discontinued its services for the Bonds, if such substitution is authorized by law, the Issuer shall
(A) designate a satisfactory substitute depository as set forth below or, if a satisfactory substitute is
not found, (B) provide for the exchange of Depository Bonds for replacement Bonds in Authorized
Denominations.
(d) To the extent authorized by law, if the Issuer determines to provide for the exchange of
Depository Bonds for Bonds in Authorized Denominations, the Issuer shall so notify the Paying Agent
and shall provide the Registrar with a supply of executed unauthenticated Bonds to be so exchanged.
The Registrar shall thereupon notify the owners of the Bonds and provide for such exchange, and to
the extent that the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the owners, the Bonds will
be delivered in appropriate form, content and Authorized Denominations to the Beneficial Owners, as
their interests appear.
(e) Any substitute depository shall be designated in writing by the Issuer to the Paying Agent. Any
such substitute depository shall be a qualified and registered "clearing agency" as provided in Section
17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The substitute depository shall provide for
(i) immobilization of the Depository Bonds, (ii) registration and transfer of interests in Depository
Bonds by book entries made on records of the depository or its nominee and (iii) payment of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds in accordance with and as such interests may appear
with respect to such book entries.
Section 8. Registration of Bonds; Appointment of Registrar; Transfer; Ownership; Delivery; and
Cancellation.
(a) Registration. The ownership of Bonds may be transferred only by the making of an entry upon
the books kept for the registration and transfer of ownership of the Bonds, and in no other way. Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby appointed as Bond Registrar under the terms of this
Resolution and under the provisions of a separate agreement with the Issuer filed herewith which is
made a part hereof by this reference. Registrar shall maintain the books of the Issuer for the
registration of ownership of the Bonds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds as
provided in this Resolution. All Bonds shall be negotiable as provided in Article 8 of the Uniform
Commercial Code and Section 384.31 of the Code of Iowa, subject to the provisions for registration
and transfer contained in the Bonds and in this Resolution.
(b) Transfer. The ownership of any Bond may be transferred only upon the Registration Books kept
for the registration and transfer of Bonds and only upon surrender thereof at the office of the Registrar
together with an assignment duly executed by the holder or his duly authorized attorney in fact in
such form as shall be satisfactory to the Registrar, along with the address and social security number
or federal employer identification number of such transferee (or, if registration is to be made in the
name of multiple individuals, of all such transferees). In the event that the address of the registered
owner of a Bond (other than a registered owner which is the nominee of the broker or dealer in
question) is that of a broker or dealer, there must be disclosed on the Registration Books the
information pertaining to the registered owner required above. Upon the transfer of any such Bond, a
new fully registered Bond, of any denomination or denominations permitted by this Resolution in
aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed principal amount of such
transferred fully registered Bond, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same
date or dates shall be delivered by the Registrar.
(c) Registration of Transferred Bonds. In all cases of the transfer of the Bonds, the Registrar shall
register, at the earliest practicable time, on the Registration Books, the Bonds, in accordance with the
26
provisions of this Resolution.
(d) Ownership. As to any Bond, the person in whose name the ownership of the same shall be
registered on the Registration Books of the Registrar shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of or on account of the principal of any such Bonds and
the premium, if any, and interest thereon shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered
owner thereof or his legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability upon such Bond, including the interest thereon, to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid.
(e) Cancellation. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall not be reissued but shall be cancelled
by the Registrar. All Bonds which are cancelled by the Registrar shall be destroyed and a certificate
of the destruction thereof shall be furnished promptly to the Issuer; provided that if the Issuer shall so
direct, the Registrar shall forward the cancelled Bonds to the Issuer.
(f) Non-Presentment of Bonds. In the event any payment check representing payment of principal
of or interest on the Bonds is returned to the Paying Agent or if any bond is not presented for
payment of principal at the maturity or redemption date, if funds sufficient to pay such principal of or
interest on Bonds shall have been made available to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the owner
thereof, all liability of the Issuer to the owner thereof for such interest or payment of such Bonds shall
forthwith cease, terminate and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the
Paying Agent to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the owner of
such Bonds who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of whatever
nature on his part under this Resolution or on, or with respect to, such interest or Bonds. The Paying
Agent's obligation to hold such funds shall continue for a period equal to two years and six months
following the date on which such interest or principal became due, whether at maturity, or at the date
fixed for redemption thereof, or otherwise, at which time the Paying Agent, shall surrender any
remaining funds so held to the Issuer, whereupon any claim under this Resolution by the Owners of
such interest or Bonds of whatever nature shall be made upon the Issuer.
(g) Registration and Transfer Fees. The Registrar may furnish to each owner, at the Issuer's
expense, one bond for each annual maturity. The Registrar shall furnish additional bonds in lesser
denominations (but not less than the minimum denomination) to an owner who so requests.
Section 9. Reissuance of Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost Bonds. In case any outstanding
Bond shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at the request of
Registrar authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like tenor and amount as the Bond so mutilated,
destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon
surrender of such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost,
upon filing with the Registrar evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond has
been destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the Registrar and
Issuer with satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other reasonable regulations as the Issuer
or its agent may prescribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer may incur in connection
therewith.
Section 10. Record Date. Payments of principal and interest, otherwise than upon full redemption,
made in respect of any Bond, shall be made to the registered holder thereof or to their designated
agent as the same appear on the books of the Registrar on the 15th day preceding the payment date.
All such payments shall fully discharge the obligations of the Issuer in respect of such Bonds to the
extent of the payments so made. Payment of principal shall only be made upon surrender of the Bond
to the Paying Agent.
Section 11. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of the Bonds. Upon the adoption of this
Resolution, the Mayor and Clerk shall execute and deliver the Bonds to the Registrar, who shall
authenticate the Bonds and deliver the same to or upon order of the Purchaser. No Bond shall be
valid or obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled to any right or benefit hereunder unless the
27
Registrar shall duly endorse and execute on such Bond a Certificate of Authentication substantially in
the form of the Certificate herein set forth. Such Certificate upon any Bond executed on behalf of the
Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so authenticated has been duly issued under this
Resolution and that the holder thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Resolution.
No Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered by the Registrar unless and until there shall have
been provided the following:
1. A certified copy of the Resolution of Issuer authorizing the issuance of the Bonds;

registered bondholder.

proposed by the American Standards Institute substantially in the form as [provided].
Interest and principal shall be paid to the registered holder of the Bond as shown on the records of
ownership maintained by the Registrar as of the 15th day preceding such interest payment date.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

purpose of paying costs of aiding in the planning, undertaking and carrying out of urban renewal
project activities under the authority of Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa and the Amended and

Continuing Disclosure Certificate are hereby incorporated by reference as part of this Resolution and
made a part hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, failure of the Issuer to

purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever
(except for the giving of certain Bondholder consents, in accordance with the practices and
procedures of DTC as may be applicable thereto). The Paying Agent shall pay all principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the Bondholders as shown on
the Registration Books, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and
discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds to the extent so paid. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Resolution to the contrary
(including without limitation those provisions relating to the surrender of Bonds, registration thereof,
and issuance in Authorized Denominations), as long as the Bonds are Depository Bonds, full effect
shall be given to the Representation Letter and the procedures and practices of DTC thereunder, and
the Paying Agent shall comply therewith.
(c) Upon (i) a determination by the Issuer that DTC is no longer able to carry out its functions or is
otherwise determined unsatisfactory, or (ii) a determination by DTC that the Bonds are no longer
eligible for its depository services or (iii) a determination by the Paying Agent that DTC has resigned
or discontinued its services for the Bonds, if such substitution is authorized by law, the Issuer shall

not found, (B) provide for the exchange of Depository Bonds for replacement Bonds in Authorized
Denominations.
(d) To the extent authorized by law, if the Issuer determines to provide for the exchange of
Depository Bonds for Bonds in Authorized Denominations, the Issuer shall so notify the Paying Agent
and shall provide the Registrar with a supply of executed unauthenticated Bonds to be so exchanged.
The Registrar shall thereupon notify the owners of the Bonds and provide for such exchange, and to
the extent that the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the owners, the Bonds will
be delivered in appropriate form, content and Authorized Denominations to the Beneficial Owners, as
their interests appear.
(e) Any substitute depository shall be designated in writing by the Issuer to the Paying Agent. Any
such substitute depository shall be a qualified and registered "clearing agency" as provided in Section
17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The substitute depository shall provide for
(i) immobilization of the Depository Bonds, (ii) registration and transfer of interests in Depository
Bonds by book entries made on records of the depository or its nominee and (iii) payment of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds in accordance with and as such interests may appear
with respect to such book entries.
Section 8. Registration of Bonds; Appointment of Registrar; Transfer; Ownership; Delivery; and
Cancellation.
(a) Registration. The ownership of Bonds may be transferred only by the making of an entry upon
the books kept for the registration and transfer of ownership of the Bonds, and in no other way. Wells

Resolution and under the provisions of a separate agreement with the Issuer filed herewith which is

registration of ownership of the Bonds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds as

together with an assignment duly executed by the holder or his duly authorized attorney in fact in
such form as shall be satisfactory to the Registrar, along with the address and social security number
or federal employer identification number of such transferee (or, if registration is to be made in the
name of multiple individuals, of all such transferees). In the event that the address of the registered
owner of a Bond (other than a registered owner which is the nominee of the broker or dealer in
question) is that of a broker or dealer, there must be disclosed on the Registration Books the
information pertaining to the registered owner required above. Upon the transfer of any such Bond, a
new fully registered Bond, of any denomination or denominations permitted by this Resolution in
aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed principal amount of such
transferred fully registered Bond, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same
date or dates shall be delivered by the Registrar.
(c) Registration of Transferred Bonds. In all cases of the transfer of the Bonds, the Registrar shall
register, at the earliest practicable time, on the Registration Books, the Bonds, in accordance with the
provisions of this Resolution.

registered on the Registration Books of the Registrar shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of or on account of the principal of any such Bonds and
the premium, if any, and interest thereon shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered
owner thereof or his legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability upon such Bond, including the interest thereon, to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid.
(e) Cancellation. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall not be reissued but shall be cancelled
by the Registrar. All Bonds which are cancelled by the Registrar shall be destroyed and a certificate
of the destruction thereof shall be furnished promptly to the Issuer; provided that if the Issuer shall so
direct, the Registrar shall forward the cancelled Bonds to the Issuer.
(f) Non-Presentment of Bonds. In the event any payment check representing payment of principal
of or interest on the Bonds is returned to the Paying Agent or if any bond is not presented for
payment of principal at the maturity or redemption date, if funds sufficient to pay such principal of or
interest on Bonds shall have been made available to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the owner
thereof, all liability of the Issuer to the owner thereof for such interest or payment of such Bonds shall
forthwith cease, terminate and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the
Paying Agent to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the owner of
such Bonds who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of whatever
nature on his part under this Resolution or on, or with respect to, such interest or Bonds. The Paying
Agent's obligation to hold such funds shall continue for a period equal to two years and six months
following the date on which such interest or principal became due, whether at maturity, or at the date
fixed for redemption thereof, or otherwise, at which time the Paying Agent, shall surrender any
remaining funds so held to the Issuer, whereupon any claim under this Resolution by the Owners of
such interest or Bonds of whatever nature shall be made upon the Issuer.
(g) Registration and Transfer Fees. The Registrar may furnish to each owner, at the Issuer's
expense, one bond for each annual maturity. The Registrar shall furnish additional bonds in lesser
denominations (but not less than the minimum denomination) to an owner who so requests.

Bond shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at the request of
Registrar authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like tenor and amount as the Bond so mutilated,
36
destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon
surrender of such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost,
upon filing with the Registrar evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond has
been destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the Registrar and
Issuer with satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other reasonable regulations as the Issuer
or its agent may prescribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer may incur in connection
therewith.

thereof called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided
funds for their redemption are on deposit at the place of payment.
If selection by lot within a maturity is required, the Registrar shall designate the Bonds to be
redeemed by random selection of the names of the registered owners of the entire annual maturity
until the total amount of Bonds to be called has been reached.
Ownership of this Bond may be transferred only by transfer upon the books kept for such purpose
by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Registrar. Such transfer on the books shall occur only
upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the office of the Registrar as designated below,
together with an assignment duly executed by the owner hereof or his duly authorized attorney in the
form as shall be satisfactory to the Registrar. Issuer reserves the right to substitute the Registrar and
Paying Agent but shall, however, promptly give notice to registered bondholders of such change. All
bonds shall be negotiable as provided in Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code and Section
384.31 of the Code of Iowa, subject to the provisions for registration and transfer contained in the
Bond Resolution.
And it is hereby represented and certified that all acts, conditions and things requisite, according to
the laws and Constitution of the State of Iowa, to exist, to be had, to be done, or to be performed
precedent to the lawful issue of this Bond, have been existent, had, done and performed as required
by law; that provision has been made for the levy of a sufficient continuing annual tax on all the
taxable property within the territory of the Issuer for the payment of the principal and interest of this
Bond as the same will respectively become due; that the faith, credit, revenues and resources and all
the real and personal property of the Issuer are irrevocably pledged for the prompt payment hereof,
both principal and interest; and the total indebtedness of the Issuer including this Bond, does not

between the City and the purchaser of the Bonds.

Continuing Disclosure Certificate are hereby incorporated by reference as part of this Resolution and
made a part hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, failure of the Issuer to
comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not be considered an event of default under
this Resolution; however, any holder of the Bonds or Beneficial Owner may take such actions as may
be necessary and appropriate, including seeking specific performance by court order, to cause the
Issuer to comply with its obligations under the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. For purposes of this

Section 2.3. Issuance of Bonds in Book-Entry Form; Replacement Bonds
.
(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Resolution regarding registration, ownership,
transfer, payment and exchange of the Bonds, unless the Issuer determines in a Series Resolution to
permit the exchange of Depository Bonds for Bonds in the Authorized Denominations, the Bonds
shall be issued as Depository Bonds in denominations of the entire principal amount of each maturity
of Bonds (or, if a portion of said principal amount is prepaid, said principal amount less the prepaid
amount); and such Depository Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of
DTC. Payment of semi-annual interest for any Depository Bond shall be made by wire transfer or
New York Clearing House or equivalent next day funds to the account of Cede & Co. on the interest
payment date for the Bonds at the address indicated in or pursuant to the Representation Letter.
(b) With respect to Depository Bonds, neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall have any
responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any Beneficial Owner. Without limiting the
immediately preceding sentence, neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility
or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any Participant
with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant, any Beneficial
Owner or any other person, other than DTC or its nominee, of any notice with respect to the Bonds,
(iii) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than DTC or its
nominee, of any amount with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, or
(iv) the failure of DTC to provide any information or notification on behalf of any Participant or
Beneficial Owner.
The Issuer and the Paying Agent may treat DTC or its nominee as, and deem DTC or its nominee
to be, the absolute owner of each Bond for the purpose of payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on such Bond, for the purpose of all other matters with respect to such Bond, for the
purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever
47
(except for the giving of certain Bondholder consents, in accordance with the practices and
procedures of DTC as may be applicable thereto). The Paying Agent shall pay all principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the Bondholders as shown on
the Bond Register, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge
the Issuer's obligations with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to
the extent so paid. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Resolution to the contrary (including without
limitation those provisions relating to the surrender of Bonds, registration thereof, and issuance in
Authorized Denominations), as long as the Bonds are Depository Bonds, full effect shall be given to
the Representation Letter and the procedures and practices of DTC thereunder, and the Paying
Agent shall comply therewith.
(c) Upon (i) a determination by the Issuer that DTC is no longer able to carry out its functions or is
otherwise determined unsatisfactory, or (ii) a determination by DTC that the Bonds are no longer
eligible for its depository services or (iii) a determination by the Paying Agent that DTC has resigned
or discontinued its services for the Bonds, if such substitution is authorized by law, the Issuer shall
(A) designate a satisfactory substitute depository as set forth below or, if a satisfactory substitute is
not found, (B) provide for the exchange of Depository Bonds for replacement Bonds in Authorized
Denominations.
(d) To the extent authorized by law, if the Issuer determines to provide for the exchange of
Depository Bonds for Bonds in Authorized Denominations, the Issuer shall so notify the Paying Agent
and shall provide the Registrar with a supply of executed unauthenticated Bonds to be so exchanged.
The Registrar shall thereupon notify the owners of the Bonds and provide for such exchange, and to
the extent that the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the owners, the Bonds will
be delivered in appropriate form, content and Authorized Denominations to the Beneficial Owners, as
their interests appear.
(e) Any substitute depository shall be designated in writing by the Issuer to the Paying Agent. Any
such substitute depository shall be a qualified and registered "clearing agency" as provided in Section
17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The substitute depository shall provide for
(i) immobilization of the Depository Bonds, (ii) registration and transfer of interests in Depository
Bonds by book entries made on records of the depository or its nominee and (iii) payment of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds in accordance with and as such interests may appear
with respect to such book entries.
Section 2.4. Registration of Bonds; Appointment of Registrar; Transfer; Ownership; and
Cancellation
.
(a) Registration. The ownership of Bonds may be transferred only by the making of an entry upon
the books kept for the registration and transfer of ownership of the Bonds, and in no other way. Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby appointed as Bond Registrar for the Series 2008D Bonds
under the terms of this Resolution and under the provisions of a separate agreement with the Issuer
filed herewith which is made a part hereof by this reference. Registrar shall maintain the books of the
Issuer for the registration of ownership of the Bonds for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Bonds as provided in this Resolution or the applicable Series Resolution. All Bonds shall be
negotiable as provided in Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, subject to the provisions for
registration and transfer contained in the Bonds and in this Resolution or the applicable Series
Resolution.
(b) Transfer. The ownership of any Bond may be transferred only upon the Bond Register kept for
the registration and transfer of Bonds and only upon surrender thereof at the office of the Registrar
together with an assignment duly executed by the holder or his duly authorized attorney in fact in
such form as shall be satisfactory to the Registrar, along with the address and social security number
or federal employer identification number of such transferee (or, if registration is to be made in the
name of multiple individuals, of all such transferees). In the event that the address of the registered
48
owner of a Bond (other than a registered owner which is the nominee of the broker or dealer in
question) is that of a broker or dealer, there must be disclosed on the Bond Register the information
pertaining to the registered owner required above. Upon the transfer of any such Bond, a new fully
registered Bond, of any denomination or denominations permitted by this Resolution or the applicable
Series Resolution in aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed principal
amount of such transferred fully registered Bond, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing
on the same date or dates shall be delivered by the Registrar.
(c) Registration of Transferred Bonds. In all cases of the transfer of the Bonds, the Registrar shall
register the Bonds, at the earliest practicable time, on the Bond Register in accordance with the
provisions of this Resolution or the applicable Series Resolution.
(d) Ownership. As to any Bond, the person in whose name the ownership of the same shall be
registered on the Bond Register of the Registrar shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of or on account of the principal of any such Bonds and
the premium, if any, and interest thereon shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered
owner thereof or his legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability upon such Bond, including the interest thereon, to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid.
(e) Cancellation. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall not be reissued but shall be
cancelled by the Registrar. All Bonds which are cancelled by the Registrar shall be destroyed and a
certificate of the destruction thereof shall be furnished promptly to the Issuer; provided that if the
Issuer shall so direct, the Registrar shall forward the cancelled Bonds to the Issuer.
(f) Non-Presentment of Bonds. In the event any payment check representing payment of principal
of or interest on the Bonds is returned to the Paying Agent or is not presented for payment of principal
at the maturity or redemption date, if funds sufficient to pay such principal of or interest on Bonds
shall have been made available to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the owner thereof, all liability of
the Issuer to the owner thereof for such interest or payment of such Bonds shall forthwith cease,
terminate and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Paying Agent to
hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the owner of such Bonds who
shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of whatever nature on his part
under this Resolution or the applicable Series Resolution or on, or with respect to, such interest or
Bonds. The Paying Agent's obligation to hold such funds shall continue for a period equal to two
years and six months following the date on which such interest or principal became due, whether at
maturity, or at the date fixed for redemption thereof, or otherwise, at which time the Paying Agent,
shall surrender any remaining funds so held to the Issuer, whereupon any claim under this Resolution
or the applicable Series Resolution by the owners of such interest or Bonds of whatever nature shall
be made upon the Issuer.
Section 2.5. Reissuance of Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost Bonds
. In case any
outstanding Bond shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at the
request of Registrar authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like tenor and amount as the Bond so
mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Bond to Registrar,
upon surrender of such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or
lost, upon filing with the Registrar evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond
has been destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the Registrar
and Issuer with satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other reasonable regulations as the
Issuer or its agent may prescribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer may incur in connection
therewith.
Section 2.6. Record Date.
Payments of principal and interest, otherwise than upon full
redemption, made in respect of any Bond, shall be made to the registered holder thereof or to their
designated agent as the same appear on the books of the Registrar on the 15th day preceding the
49
payment date. All such payments shall fully discharge the obligations of the Issuer in respect of such
Bonds to the extent of the payments so made. Payment of principal shall only be made upon
surrender of the Bond to the Paying Agent.
Section 2.7. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of the Series 2008D Bonds
. Upon the
adoption of this Resolution, the Mayor and City Clerk shall execute and deliver the Series 2008D
Bonds to the Registrar, who shall authenticate the same and deliver the same to or upon order of the
Original Purchaser. No such Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled to
any right or benefit hereunder unless the Registrar shall duly endorse and execute on such Bond a
Certificate of Authentication substantially in the form of the Certificate herein set forth. Such
Certificate upon any such Bond executed on behalf of the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the
Bond so authenticated has been duly issued under this Resolution and that the holder thereof is
entitled to the benefits of this Resolution.
Section 2.8. Right to Name Substitute Paying Agent or Registrar
. Issuer reserves the right to
name a substitute, successor Registrar or Paying Agent for any Bonds upon giving prompt written
notice to each registered Bondholder.
ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION OF BONDS
Section 3.1. Optional and Mandatory Redemption
. (a) Redemption Generally. The Bonds shall
be subject to optional and mandatory redemption as provided in the Series Resolution pursuant to
which such series of Bonds are issued.
(b) Optional Redemption of Series 2008D Bonds. The Series 2008D Bonds maturing after June 1,
2016 may be called for redemption by the Issuer and paid before maturity on said date or any date
thereafter, from any funds regardless of source, in whole or in part, in any order of maturity and within
an annual maturity by lot. The terms of any redemption shall be par, plus accrued interest to date of
call.
Section 3.2. Notice of Redemption
. Unless waived by any registered owner of Bonds to be
redeemed and except as may be otherwise provided in a Series Resolution, official notice of any such
redemption shall be given by the Registrar of the Bonds to be redeemed on behalf of the Issuer by
mailing a copy of an official redemption notice by first class mail, at least 30 days prior to the date
fixed for redemption to the registered owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address
shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such registered
owner to the Registrar.
All official notices of redemption shall be dated, shall contain the complete official name of the
Bond issue, and shall state:
(1) the redemption date;
(2) the redemption price;
(3) the interest rate, maturity date and CUSIP numbers of the Bonds being redeemed;
(4) if less than all the Outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the Bond numbers, and, where part
of the Bonds evidenced by one Bond certificate are being redeemed, the respective Principal
amounts of such Bonds to be redeemed;
(5) that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each
such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue
from and after such date; and
(6) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price (which
place of payment shall be the principal payment office of the Paying Agent or at such other office
designated by the Paying Agent for such purpose) and the name, address, and telephone number of
a person or persons at the Paying Agent who may be contacted with respect to the redemption.
Any notice of an optional redemption of any Bonds (pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of this resolution or
any other Series Resolution) may specify that the redemption is contingent upon the deposit of
50
moneys with the Paying Agent in an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price (which price shall
include the redemption premium, if any) of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to be
redeemed on that date.
Prior to any redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money
sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to be redeemed
on that date.
For so long as DTC is effecting book–entry transfers of the Bonds, the Registrar shall provide the
notices specified in this Section to DTC. It is expected that DTC shall, in turn, notify its Participants
and that the Participants, in turn, will notify or cause to be notified the Beneficial Owners. Any failure
on the part of DTC or a Participant, or failure on the part of a nominee of a Beneficial Owner of a
Bond (having been mailed notice from the Registrar, a Participant or otherwise) to notify the
Beneficial Owner of the Bond so affected, shall not affect the validity of the redemption of such Bond.
Any defect in any notice of redemption shall not affect the validity of proceedings for redemption of
the Bonds.
Section 3.3. Effect of Notice of Redemption
. Official notice of redemption having been given in
the manner and under the conditions provided in this Article and moneys for payment of the
redemption price being held by the Paying Agent as provided in the Series Resolution, the Bonds or
portions of Bonds called for redemption shall, on the redemption date designated in such notice,
become and be due and payable at the redemption price provided for redemption of such Bonds or
portions of Bonds on such date, and from and after such date interest on the Bonds or portions of
Bonds called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to be
entitled to any lien, benefit, or security under the Series Resolution, and the owners of such Bonds or
portions of Bonds shall have no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the redemption
price thereof. Upon surrender for partial redemption of any Bond, there shall be prepared for and
delivered to the registered owner a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, maturity, and interest rate
in the amount of the unpaid Principal.
Section 3.4. Redemption Among Series
. Subject to the redemption provisions of any Series
Resolution, the Issuer in its discretion may redeem the Bonds of any series, or a portion of the Bonds
of any such series, before it redeems the Bonds of any other series. Within any particular series, any
redemption of Bonds shall be effected in the manner provided in this Resolution and in any Series
Resolution.
Section 3.5. Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed
. If less than all of the Bonds of like maturity of
any series shall be called for redemption, the particular Bonds, or portions of Bonds, to be redeemed
shall be selected by the Paying Agent in such equitable manner as the Paying Agent may determine.
The portion of any Bond of a denomination of more than $5,000 to be redeemed shall be in the
Principal amount of $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and, in selecting portions of such Bonds for
redemption, the Issuer shall treat each such Bond as representing that number of Bonds which is
obtained by dividing the Principal of such Bond to be redeemed in part by $5,000.
Section 3.6. Purchase in Open Market
. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit the
right of the Issuer to purchase with any excess moneys in the Sinking Fund (i.e., moneys not needed
in the then current Fiscal Year to pay Principal of and interest on any Senior Bonds) and for Sinking
Fund purposes, any Senior Bonds in the open market. Any such Senior Bonds so purchased shall not
be reissued and shall be cancelled.
ARTICLE IV
APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
Section 4.1. Application of Series 2008D Bond Proceeds
. The proceeds of the Series 2008D
Bonds shall be applied as follows:
(i) An amount sufficient to pay Costs of Issuance of the Series 2008D Bonds shall be
deposited into the Series 2008D Costs of Issuance Account.
51
(ii) An amount sufficient to meet the Debt Service Reserve Requirement for the Series
2008D Bonds shall be deposited in the Debt Service Reserve Fund.
(iii) The balance of the proceeds shall be deposited in the Series 2008D Account of the
Project Fund and applied to pay Project Costs of the Series 2008D Projects.
ARTICLE V
PROJECT FUND
Section 5.1. Project Fund
. There is hereby established a Project Fund and within the Project
Fund, there shall be established a separate account for each Project and a separate Costs of
Issuance Account for each series of Bonds issued under a Series Resolution. Except as may be
otherwise provided in the Series Resolution authorizing the issuance of SRF Bonds, moneys in the
Project Fund shall be held as may from time to time be designated by the Issuer, and applied to the
payment of the Project Costs, or for the repayment of advances made for that purpose in accordance
with and subject to the provisions and restrictions set forth in this Article. The Issuer covenants that it
will not cause or permit to be paid from the Project Fund any sums except in accordance with such
provisions and restrictions; provided, however, that any moneys in the Project Fund not presently
needed for the payment of current obligations during the course of construction may be invested in
Permitted Investments maturing not later than (i) the date upon which such moneys will be needed or
(ii) 36 months from the date of purchase, in either case upon direction of the Treasurer. Any such
investments shall be held in trust for the account of the Project Fund until maturity or until sold, and at
maturity or upon such sale the proceeds received therefrom including accrued interest and premium,
if any, shall be immediately deposited in the Project Fund and shall be disposed of in the manner and
for the purposes provided in the Resolution. At such time as all Costs of Issuance have been paid,
and in any case not later than 6 months after the date of issuance of the applicable series of Bonds,
any money in a Costs of Issuance Account shall be transferred to the applicable account of the
Project Fund.
Section 5.2. Funds Remaining on Completion of Projects
. For each series of Bonds, the
Issuer shall, when a Project has been completed, and may, when a Project has been substantially
completed, estimate what portion of the funds remaining in the separate account relating to such
Project will be required by the Issuer for the payment or reimbursement of the Project Costs of such
Project, and thereafter such funds that will not be used shall be, at the direction of the Governing
Body, either (1) applied to pay the costs of other Projects, (2) transferred to the Sinking Fund and
used to redeem Bonds of the related series on the next redemption date or to pay Principal of such
Bonds on the next Principal Maturity Date, or (3) transferred to the Sinking Fund and used to pay
interest on Bonds of the related series, provided that the Issuer shall first obtain an opinion of bond
counsel to the effect that, under existing law, the application of such moneys to pay interest on such
Bonds (a) is allowed under State law, and (b) if such Bonds are tax-exempt Bonds, will not, by itself
and without more, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes
of interest payable on such Bonds. When all moneys have been withdrawn or transferred from any
separate account within the Project Fund in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such
separate account shall terminate and cease to exist.
ARTICLE VI
PLEDGE OF NET REVENUES AND FLOW OF FUNDS
Section 6.1. Pledge of Revenues; Limited Obligations
. Subject only to the rights of the Issuer to
apply amounts as provided in this Article VI, all Net Revenues shall be and are hereby pledged to the
prompt payment of the Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds; provided, however,
that the pledge of the Net Revenues to any Subordinate Bonds shall be junior and subordinate in lien
and right of payment to all Senior Bonds Outstanding at any time. Such moneys and securities shall
immediately be subject to the lien of this pledge for the benefit of the Bondholders without any
physical delivery thereof or further act, and the lien of this pledge shall be valid and binding against
52
the Issuer and against all other persons having claims against the Issuer, whether such claims shall
have arisen in tort, contract, or otherwise, and regardless of whether such persons have notice of the
lien of this pledge. This pledge shall rank superior to all other pledges which may hereafter be made
of any of the Net Revenues. The lien of the pledge made in this Section does not secure any
obligation of the Issuer other than the Bonds.
The Bonds shall be limited obligations of the Issuer as provided therein payable solely from the Net
Revenues. The Bonds and the interest thereon shall not constitute a general or moral obligation of
the Issuer nor a debt, indebtedness, or obligation of the Issuer or the State or any political subdivision
thereof within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter provision whatsoever. No taxing
power of the Issuer is pledged to the payment of the Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Bonds or other costs incident thereto. Neither the members of the Governing Body nor any person
executing the Bonds shall be liable personally on the Bonds by reason of the issuance thereof.
Section 6.2. Special Funds
. The following special funds shall be established, maintained and
accounted for as hereinafter provided so long as any of the Bonds remain Outstanding:
(a) Revenue Fund;
(b) Operation and Maintenance Fund;
(c) Bond Principal and Interest Fund;
(d) Debt Service Reserve Fund;
(e) Subordinate Bond Fund (while Subordinate Bonds are Outstanding);
(f) Surplus Fund; and
(g) Rebate Fund.
The Issuer shall have the right to create special accounts, from time to time, in each of the
foregoing Funds as the Governing Body determines to be desirable.
Section 6.3. Flow of Funds
. All Gross Revenues shall be deposited as received into the Revenue
Fund. Moneys from time to time credited to the Revenue Fund shall be applied to the funds hereby
established in the following order of priority:
(a) First, to transfer to the Operation and Maintenance Fund sufficient amounts required for
the payment of all current Operation and Maintenance Expenses, as provided in Section 6.4 of
this Resolution.
(b) Second, to transfer all amounts to the Bond Principal and Interest Fund as required by
Section 6.5 of this Resolution.
(c) Third, to transfer all amounts to the Debt Service Reserve Fund as required by Section
6.6 of this Resolution.
(d) Fourth, to transfer all amounts to the Rebate Fund as required by Section 6.10 of this
Resolution.
(e) Fifth, to transfer all amounts to the Subordinate Bond Fund as required by Section 6.7
of this Resolution.
(f) Sixth, to make deposits to the Surplus Fund as required in Section 6.8 of this
Resolution.
Section 6.4. Operation and Maintenance Fund
. Money in the Revenue Fund shall first be
disbursed to make deposits into the Operation and Maintenance Fund. There shall be deposited in
the Operation and Maintenance Fund each month an amount sufficient to pay the Operation and
Maintenance Expenses due, or expected to come due, during the month, plus an amount equal to
one/twelfth of expenses payable on an annual basis such as insurance. After the first day of the
month, further deposits may be made to the Operations and Maintenance Fund from the Revenue
Fund to the extent necessary to pay current Operation and Maintenance Expenses accrued and
payable to the extent that funds are not available in the Surplus Fund.
Section 6.5. Bond Principal and Interest Fund
. On or before the last business day of each
month so long as any Bonds remain Outstanding, there shall next be transferred into the Bond
53
Principal and Interest Fund (also referred to as the “Sinking Fund”) from the Revenue Fund, to the
extent not funded from capitalized interest, the following amounts:
(a) General. Sufficient moneys shall be paid in periodic installments from the Revenue Fund into
the Sinking Fund for the purpose of paying the Principal of and interest on the Senior Bonds as they
become due and payable. Amounts held in the Sinking Fund shall be used solely to pay interest and
Principal of the Senior Bonds as the same become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon
redemption).
(b) Interest. On or before the 30th day preceding each Interest Payment Date for Senior Bonds,
the Issuer shall deposit in the Sinking Fund an amount which, together with any other moneys already
on deposit therein and available to make such payment, is not less than the interest coming due on
such Senior Bonds on such Interest Payment Date.
(c) Principal. On or before the 30th day preceding each Principal Maturity Date for Senior Bonds,
the Issuer shall deposit in the Sinking Fund an amount which, together with any other moneys already
on deposit therein and available to make such payment, is not less than the Principal coming due on
such Senior Bonds on such Principal Maturity Date.
(d) Application of Money in Sinking Fund. No further payments need be made into the Sinking
Fund whenever the amount available in the Sinking Fund, if added to the amount then in the Debt
Service Reserve Fund, is sufficient to retire all Senior Bonds then Outstanding and to pay all unpaid
interest accrued and to accrue prior to such retirement. No moneys in the Sinking Fund shall be used
or applied to the optional purchase or redemption of Senior Bonds prior to maturity unless: (i)
provision shall have been made for the payment of all of the Senior Bonds; or (ii) such moneys are
applied to the purchase and cancellation of Senior Bonds which are subject to mandatory redemption
on the next mandatory redemption date, which falls due within 12 months, such Senior Bonds are
purchased at a price not more than would be required for mandatory redemption, and such Senior
Bonds are cancelled upon purchase; or (iii) such moneys are in excess of the then required balance
of the Sinking Fund and are applied to redeem a part of the Senior Bonds Outstanding on the next
succeeding redemption date for which the required notice of redemption may be given.
Section 6.6. Debt Service Reserve Fund
. Upon the issuance of the Series 2008D Bonds, the
Issuer shall deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Fund the amounts specified in Section 4.1. There
also shall be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Fund the amounts specified in Series
Resolutions with respect to additional Senior Bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no
deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Fund with respect to any SRF Bonds nor shall the Debt
Service Reserve Fund secure any SRF Bonds. After the issuance of any Senior Bonds, the increase
in the amount of the Debt Service Reserve Requirement resulting from the issuance of such Senior
Bonds shall be accumulated, to the extent not covered by deposits from Bond proceeds or funds on
hand, over a period not exceeding 61 months from the date of delivery of such Senior Bonds in
monthly deposits ("Accumulation Payments"), none of which is less than 1/60 of the amount to be
accumulated. The balance of the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall be maintained at an amount equal
to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement (or such lesser amount that is required to be accumulated
in the Debt Service Reserve Fund in connection with the periodic accumulation to the Debt Service
Reserve Requirement after the issuance of Senior Bonds).
There shall be transferred from the Revenue Fund to the Debt Service Reserve Fund the amount
necessary to restore, as further described below, the amount of cash and securities in the Debt
Service Reserve Fund to an amount equal to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement (or such lesser
monthly amount that is required to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Fund after the
issuance of Senior Bonds). Whenever for any reason the amount in the Sinking Fund is insufficient to
pay all interest or Principal becoming due on the Senior Bonds within the next seven days, the Issuer
shall make up any deficiency by transfers from the following funds and accounts, in the following
order of priority: first, from the Surplus Fund; and second, from the funds and accounts of the Issuer
54
relating to Subordinate Bonds which are not Subordinate SRF Bonds. Whenever, on the date that
such interest or Principal is due, there are insufficient moneys in the Sinking Fund available to make
such payment, the Issuer shall, without further instructions, apply so much as may be needed of the
moneys in the Debt Service Reserve Fund to prevent default in the payment of such interest or
Principal, with priority to interest payments. Whenever by reason of any such application or otherwise
(other than required Accumulation Payments), the amount remaining to the credit of the Debt Service
Reserve Fund is less than the amount then required to be in the Debt Service Reserve Fund, such
deficiency shall be remedied by monthly deposits from the Revenue Fund, to the extent funds are
available in the Revenue Fund for such purpose after all required transfers set forth above have been
made.
Section 6.7. Subordinate Bond Fund
. On or before the last business day of each month so long
as any Subordinate Bonds remain Outstanding, there shall next be transferred into the Subordinate
Bond Fund from the Revenue Fund such amounts as may be required to be deposited into the funds
and accounts created by any Series Resolution authorizing the issuance of Subordinate Bonds, for
the purpose of paying Principal of and interest on Subordinate Bonds, and accumulating reserves for
such payments. Moneys credited to the Subordinate Bond Fund shall be used solely for the purpose
provided in the Series Resolutions authorizing the Subordinate Bonds.
Section 6.8. Surplus Fund
. After making all payments and transfers hereinabove required, all
amounts remaining in the Revenue Fund shall be transferred by the last day of each month to the
Surplus Fund. Amounts credited to the Surplus Fund may be used for any lawful System purposes,
including without limitation, to pay for any Projects, to pay costs of replacing any depreciable property
or equipment of the System, to pay costs of any major or extraordinary repairs, replacements or
renewals of the System, to acquire land or any interest therein, to pay any lease or contractual
obligations not paid as Operation and Maintenance Expenses and to make any transfers required to
cure any deficiencies in any funds.
Section 6.9. Deficiencies in Funds
. If in any month there shall not be transferred into any fund
maintained pursuant to this Article, the full amounts required herein, amounts equivalent to such
deficiency shall be set apart and transferred to such fund or funds from the first available and
unallocated moneys in the Revenue Fund, and such transfer shall be in addition to the amounts
otherwise required to be transferred to such funds during any succeeding month or months.
Section 6.10. Rebate Fund
. The Issuer shall calculate, from time to time, as required in order to
comply with the provisions of Section 148(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the
amounts required to be rebated (including penalties) to the United States and shall deposit or cause
to be deposited into the Rebate Fund any and all of such amounts promptly following a determination
of any such amount.
The Issuer shall direct any depository of the Rebate Fund to keep all moneys held therein invested
in Permitted Investments. To the extent and at the times required in order to comply with Section
148(f) of the Code, the Issuer may withdraw funds from the Rebate Fund for the purpose of making
rebate payments (including penalties) to the United States as required by Section 148(f) of the Code.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section, moneys in the Rebate Fund may not be
withdrawn from the Rebate Fund for any other purpose.
All Investments Earnings held in the Rebate Fund shall be retained in the Rebate Fund and shall
become part of the Rebate Fund. Moneys held in the Rebate Fund, including the Investment Earnings
thereon, if any, shall not be subject to a pledge in favor of the owners of the Bonds under the Series
Resolution and may not be used to pay amounts due on the Bonds or amounts required for the
operation, maintenance, enlargement, or extension of the System.
Whenever the Issuer has filed all reports required to be filed with the United States pursuant to
Section 148(f) of the Code with respect to any series of Bonds and has made all payments required
to be made to the United States pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code relating thereto, all moneys or
55
investments remaining in the Rebate Fund may be transferred to the Surplus Fund, and such moneys
and investments may be used by the Issuer for any lawful purpose.
Section 6.11. Investment of Funds; Transfer of Investment Earnings.
(a) Monies in all funds
shall, at the option and direction of the Treasurer, be invested and secured in the manner required by
law for public funds, in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are
unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America, or in any other Permitted Investments;
provided that all such deposits and investments shall be made in such manner that the money
required to be expended from any fund will be available at the proper time or times. All such
investments shall be valued no less frequently than the last business day of the Issuer's fiscal year at
cost (taking into account normal amortization and accretions of premiums and discounts) or, in the
case of investments having a maturity greater than five years from the date of valuation, at market
value, except that any direct obligations of the United States of America - State and Local
Government Series shall be continuously valued at their par value or principal face amount. For
purposes of maximizing investment returns, money in such funds may be invested, together with
money in other funds or with other money of the Issuer, in common investments of the kind described
above, or in a common pool of such investments maintained by the Issuer which shall be kept and
held at an official depository of the Issuer, which shall not be deemed to be a loss of the segregation
of such money or funds. Safekeeping receipts, certificates of participation or other documents clearly
evidencing the investment or investment pool in which such money is invested and the share thereof
purchased with such money or owned by such fund shall be held by or on behalf of each such fund. If
and to the extent necessary, such investments shall be promptly sold to prevent any default.
(b) To the extent it is not otherwise provided for in a Series Resolution or is needed to eliminate a
deficiency, all Investment Earnings derived from deposits and investments credited to the funds
established in this Article shall be transferred or credited to the Revenue Fund.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any interest and income derived
from deposits and investment of any amounts credited to any fund or account may be paid to the
federal government if in the written opinion of bond counsel such payment is required in order to
prevent interest on any Bonds from being includable within the gross income of the owners thereof for
federal income tax purposes.
ARTICLE VII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 7.1. Rate Covenant
. The Issuer shall continuously own, control, operate, and maintain
the System in an efficient and economical manner and on a revenue producing basis and shall at all
times prescribe, fix, maintain and collect rates, fees and other charges for the services and facilities
furnished by the System that are fully sufficient at all times to:
(a) provide for 100% of the budgeted Operation and Maintenance Expenses and for the
accumulation in the Revenue Fund of a reasonable reserve therefor; and
(b) produce Net Revenues in each Fiscal Year which:
(a) will equal at least 125% of the Debt Service Requirement on all Senior Bonds then
Outstanding for the year of computation;
(b) will enable the Issuer to make all required payments, if any, into the Debt Service
Reserve Fund and the Rebate Fund;
(c) will enable the Issuer to accumulate an amount which, in the judgment of the Governing
Body, is adequate to meet the costs of major renewals, replacements, repairs, additions,
betterments, and improvements to the System, necessary to keep the same in good operating
condition or as is required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the System;
and
(d) will remedy all deficiencies in required payments into any of the funds and accounts
established under the Resolution from prior Fiscal Years.
56
If the Issuer fails to prescribe, fix, maintain and collect rates, fees and other charges in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, the owners of not less than 25% in aggregate principal of the
Bonds then Outstanding, without regard to whether any Event of Default shall have occurred, may
institute and prosecute in any court of competent jurisdiction an appropriate action to compel the
Issuer to prescribe, fix, maintain and collect rates, fees and other charges in accordance with the
requirements of this Section.
Section 7.2. Other Covenants Regarding the Operation of the System
. The Issuer hereby
covenants and agrees with each and every holder of the Bonds as follows:
(a) Maintenance and Efficiency. The Issuer will maintain the System in good condition and
operate it in an efficient manner and at reasonable cost.
(b) Insurance. The Issuer shall maintain insurance for the benefit of the holders on the
insurable portions of the System of a kind and in an amount which normally would be carried by
private companies engaged in a similar kind of business. The proceeds of any insurance,
except public liability insurance, shall be used to repair or replace the part or parts of the
System damaged or destroyed, or if not so used shall be placed in the Operations and
Maintenance Fund.
(c) Accounting and Audits. The Issuer will cause to be kept proper books and accounts
adapted to the System and in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices, and
will diligently act to cause the books and accounts to be audited annually and reported upon
not later than 180 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, or as soon thereafter as is
practicable, by an Independent Auditor and will provide copies of the audit report to the
Bondholders upon request. The Bondholders shall have at all reasonable times the right to
inspect the System and the records, accounts and data of the Issuer relating thereto.
(d) State Laws. The Issuer will faithfully and punctually perform all duties with reference to
the System required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Iowa, including the making
and collecting of reasonable and sufficient rates for services rendered by the System as above
provided, and will segregate the revenues of the System and apply said revenues to the funds
specified in this Resolution.
(e) Property. The Issuer will not sell, lease, mortgage or in any manner dispose of the
System, or any capital part thereof, including any and all extensions and additions that may be
made thereto, until satisfaction and discharge of all of the Bonds shall have been provided for
in the manner provided in this Resolution; provided, however, that this covenant shall not be
construed to prevent the disposal by the Issuer of property which in the judgment of the
Governing Body has become inexpedient or unprofitable to use in connection with the System,
or if it is to the advantage of the System that other property of equal or higher value be
substituted therefor, and provided further that the proceeds of the disposition of such property
shall be placed in the Operations and Maintenance Fund and used in preference to other
sources for capital improvements to the System.
(f) Fidelity Bond. The Issuer shall maintain fidelity bond coverage in amounts which normally
would be carried by private companies engaged in a similar kind of business on each officer or
employee having custody of funds of the System.
(g) Additional Charges. The Issuer will require proper connecting charges and/or other
security for the payment of services charges.
(h) Budget. The Governing Body of the Issuer shall approve and conduct operations
pursuant to a system budget of revenues and current expenses for each Fiscal Year. Such
budget shall take into account revenues and expenses during the current and last preceding
Fiscal Years.
Section 7.3. Disposition of Bond Proceeds; Arbitrage Not Permitted
. The Issuer reasonably
expects and covenants that no use will be made of the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the
57
Series 2008D Bonds issued hereunder which will cause any of the Series 2008D Bonds to be
classified as arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148(a) and (b) of the Code, and that
throughout the term of said Series 2008D Bonds it will comply with the requirements of said statute
and regulations issued thereunder.
To the best knowledge and belief of the Issuer, there are no facts or circumstances that would
materially change the foregoing statements or the conclusion that it is not expected that the proceeds
of the Series 2008D Bonds will be used in a manner that would cause such Bonds to be arbitrage
bonds. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer hereby agrees to comply with the
provisions of the Tax Exemption Certificate and the provisions of the Tax Exemption Certificate are
hereby incorporated by reference as part of this Resolution. The Treasurer is hereby directed to make
and insert all calculations and determinations necessary to complete the Tax Exemption Certificate in
all respects and to execute and deliver the Tax Exemption Certificate at issuance of the Series 2008D
Bonds to certify as to the reasonable expectations and covenants of the Issuer at that date.
The Issuer covenants that it will treat as yield restricted any proceeds of the Series 2008D Bonds
remaining unexpended after three years from the issuance and any other funds required by the Tax
Exemption Certificate to be so treated. If any investments are held with respect to the Series 2008D
Bonds, the Issuer shall treat the same for the purpose of restricted yield as held in proportion to the
original principal amounts of each issue.
The Issuer covenants that it will exceed any investment yield restriction provided in this Resolution
only in the event that it shall first obtain an opinion of bond counsel that the proposed investment
action will not cause the Series 2008D Bonds to be classified as arbitrage bonds under Section
148(a) and (b) of the Code.
The Issuer covenants that it will proceed with due diligence to spend the proceeds of the Series
2008D Bonds for the purpose set forth in this Resolution. The Issuer further covenants that it will
make no change in the use of the proceeds available for the construction of facilities or change in the
use of any portion of the facilities constructed therefrom by persons other than the Issuer or the
general public unless it has obtained an opinion of bond counsel or a revenue ruling that the
proposed project or use will not be of such character as to cause interest on any of the Series 2008D
Bonds not to be exempt from federal income taxes in the hands of holders under the provisions of the
Code.
Section 7.4. Additional Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Issuer
. The Issuer
certifies and covenants with the purchasers and holders of the Series 2008D Bonds from time to time
outstanding that the Issuer through its officers, (a) will make such further specific covenants,
representations and assurances as may be necessary or advisable; (b) comply with all
representations, covenants and assurances contained in the Tax Exemption Certificate, which Tax
Exemption Certificate shall constitute a part of the contract between the Issuer and the owners of the
Series 2008D Bonds; (c) consult with bond counsel (as defined in the Tax Exemption Certificate); (d)
pay to the United States, as necessary, such sums of money representing required rebates of excess
arbitrage profits relating to the Series 2008D Bonds; (e) file such forms, statements and supporting
documents as may be required and in a timely manner; and (f) if deemed necessary or advisable by
its officers, to employ and pay fiscal agents, financial advisors, attorneys and other persons to assist
the Issuer in such compliance.

present value basis or, as an alternative to, and in lieu thereof, the Senior Bonds are being refunded
under arrangements which immediately result in making provision for the payment of the refunded
Bonds.

an Independent Auditor or Financial Advisor to the effect that the historical Net Revenues for
the preceding Fiscal Year were equal to at least 125% of the Maximum Annual Debt Service

the proposed Senior Bonds.
The report by the Independent Auditor or Financial Advisor as aforesaid may contain
proforma adjustments to historical Net Revenues equal to 100% of the increased annual
amount attributable to any revision in the schedule of rates, fees and charges for the services
and facilities furnished by the System, adopted prior to the date of delivery of the proposed
Senior Bonds and not fully reflected in the historical Net Revenues actually received during
such 12 month period.
For purposes of this Section, “preceding Fiscal Year” shall be the most recently completed

is not less than the balance required by this Resolution as of the date of issuance of the
proposed Senior Bonds.
(c) Except with respect to Senior SRF Bonds, the Series Resolution authorizing the
proposed Senior Bonds must require (i) that the amount to be accumulated and maintained in
the Debt Service Reserve Fund be increased to not less than 100% of the Debt Service

accounts for the moneys to be used to pay debt service on the Subordinate Bonds, and to
provide any desired reserves therefor.

reorganization, or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to the Issuer or to its
creditors, as such, or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation,
dissolution, or other winding up of the Issuer, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, the
owners of all Senior Bonds then Outstanding shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all Principal
and interest due on all such Senior Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the Series Resolution

Revenues or the amounts held in the funds and accounts created under the Series Resolution on
account of Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Subordinate Bonds.
(c) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (under circumstances when the
provisions of paragraph (b) are not applicable), the owners of all Senior Bonds then Outstanding shall

Revenues or the amounts held in the funds and accounts created under the Series Resolution of
Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Subordinate Bonds.
(d) Any series of Subordinate Bonds may have such rank or priority with respect to any other

authorizing all or any Subordinate Bonds, the Issuer may provide for the accession of such
Subordinate Bonds to the status of complete parity with the Senior Bonds if, as of the date of
accession, the conditions of Section 8.3 are satisfied, on a basis which includes all Outstanding
Senior Bonds and such Subordinate Bonds, and if on the date of accession:
(a) the Debt Service Reserve Fund contains an amount equal to the Debt Service Reserve
Requirement computed on a basis which includes all Outstanding Senior Bonds and such
Subordinate Bonds (but which excludes, in the case of both Outstanding Senior Bonds and
such Subordinate Bonds, any SRF Bonds); and
(b) the Sinking Fund contains the amount which would have been required to be
accumulated therein on the date of accession if the Subordinate Bonds had originally been
issued as Senior Bonds.
Section 8.6. Adoption of Proceedings
. The Governing Body shall adopt a Series Resolution
authorizing the issuance of any additional Bonds and reciting that the requirements of this Article
have been satisfied, and shall set forth in such proceedings, among other things, the date or dates
such additional Bonds shall bear and the rate or rates of interest, interest payment date or dates,
maturity date or dates, and redemption provisions with respect to such additional Bonds and any
other matters applicable to such additional Bonds as the Governing Body may deem advisable.
Any such Series Resolution shall restate and reaffirm, by reference, all of the applicable terms,
60
conditions and provisions of this Resolution not modified by the Series Resolution.
Section 8.7. Proceedings Authorizing Additional Bonds
. No Series Resolution authorizing the
issuance of additional Bonds as permitted under this Article shall conflict with the terms and
conditions of this Resolution, except to the extent that the Series Resolution is adopted for one of the
purposes set forth in Section 11.1 and complies with the provisions of Section 11.1 for the adoption of
Supplemental Resolutions without the consent of Bondholders.
Section 8.8. Applicability to Additional Bonds and Prior Resolution
. (a) The provisions of this
Resolution shall be construed as including and being applicable to any future series of Bonds, and
any such Bonds shall be treated, unless otherwise specifically stated, as if they had been issued
together with the Series 2008D Bonds and pursuant to the terms of this Resolution.
(b) In accordance with the Consent and Waiver dated September 29, 2008 executed by the Iowa
Finance Authority, in its capacity as the sole holder of the Outstanding SRF Loan, the provisions of
the Prior Resolution are hereby amended and restated to conform to the provisions of this Resolution,
and the Outstanding SRF Loan shall be deemed to be a Senior SRF Bond within the meaning of this
Resolution. This Resolution shall be construed whenever possible so as not to conflict with the terms
and conditions of the Loan and Disbursement Agreement approved in the Prior Resolution and
entered into at the time of issuance of the Outstanding SRF Loan. In the event such construction is
not possible, or in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms hereof and those of
the foregoing Loan and Disbursement Agreement, the terms of said Loan and Disbursement
Agreement shall prevail and be given effect to the extent necessary to resolve any such conflict or
inconsistency.
Section 8.9. Credit Facilities.
In connection with the issuance of any Bonds under the Series
Resolution, the Issuer may obtain or cause to be obtained one or more Credit Facilities providing for
payment of all or a portion of the Principal of, premium, if any, or interest due or to become due on
such Bonds, providing for the purchase of such Bonds by the Credit Facility Provider, or providing
funds for the purchase of such Bonds by the Issuer. In connection therewith the Issuer shall enter into
Credit Facility Agreements with such Credit Facility Providers providing for, among other things, (i)
the payment of fees and expenses to such Credit Facility Providers for the issuance of such Credit
Facilities; (ii) the terms and conditions of such Credit Facilities and the Bonds affected thereby; and
(iii) the security, if any, to be provided for the issuance of such Credit Facilities. The Issuer may
secure any Credit Facility by an agreement providing for the purchase of the Bonds secured thereby
with such adjustments to the rate of interest, method of determining interest, maturity, or redemption
provisions as are specified by the Issuer in the applicable Series Resolution. The Issuer may in a
Credit Facility Agreement agree to directly reimburse such Credit Facility Provider for amounts paid
under the terms of such Credit Facility, together with interest thereon; provided, however, that no
Reimbursement Obligation shall be created for purposes of the Series Resolution until amounts are
paid under such Credit Facility. Any such Reimbursement Obligation shall be deemed to be a part of
the Bonds to which the Credit Facility relates which gave rise to such Reimbursement Obligation, and
references to Principal and interest payments with respect to such Bonds shall include Principal and
interest due on the Reimbursement Obligation incurred as a result of payment of such Bonds with the
Credit Facility. Any such Credit Facility shall be for the benefit of and secure such Bonds or portion
thereof as specified in the applicable Series Resolution.
ARTICLE IX

contained, and such default shall have continued for a period of 90 days after written notice
specifying such default and requiring that it shall have been remedied is given to the Issuer by
the owners of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding; provided that, if
such failure cannot be corrected within such 90 day period, it shall not constitute an Event of
Default if corrective action is instituted within such period and such corrective action is diligently
pursued until the failure is corrected, provided that if such corrective action includes legal action
such legal action shall be diligently pursued until either the failure is corrected or such failure
shall be determined by a court of final and competent jurisdiction as not correctable as a matter
of law.
Section 10.2. Default and Remedies
. In the event of (a) a default on the part of the Issuer in the
prompt and full payment of principal of or interest on any Bond, or (b) a default in the keeping of any
other covenant herein contained (if such default shall continue for a period of ninety days after written
notice specifying the nature of the default and requiring it to be remedied is received by the Issuer),
the holders of the Bonds shall have the right to proceed at law or in equity by suit, action or
mandamus to enforce and compel performance of the duties required by the terms of the Resolution
authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, or to obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession
of and operate the System, and to perform the duties required by the terms of the Resolution. The
holders of the Bonds shall have no right to accelerate any payment obligation of the Issuer with
respect to the Bonds.
No holder of any Bond shall have the right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, for the
enforcement of the covenants herein contained, except as provided in this Section. The holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds shall have the right, either at law or in
equity, through suit, action or other proceedings, to protest and enforce the rights of all holders of
such Bonds and to compel the performance of any and all of the covenants required herein to be
performed by the Issuer, and its officers and employees, including but not limited to the fixing and
maintaining of rates, fees and charges and the collection and proper segregation of Net Revenues
62
and the application and use thereof. The holders of a majority in principal amount of Outstanding
Bonds shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Bondholders or the exercise of any power conferred on them and the right to
waive a default in the performance of any such covenant, and its consequences, except a default in
the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bond when due. Nothing herein, however, shall
impair the absolute and unconditional right of the holder of each Bond to receive payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond as such principal, premium and interest
respectively become due, and to institute suit for any such payment.
Section 10.3. Resolution a Contract

between the Issuer and the holder or holders of the Bonds, and after the issuance of any of the
Bonds no change, variation or alteration of any kind in the provisions of this Resolution shall be made
in any manner, except as provided in Article XI, until such time as all of the Bonds, and interest due
thereon, shall have been satisfied and discharged as provided in this Resolution.
ARTICLE XI
SUPPLEMENTAL RESOLUTIONS

which thereafter shall form a part of this Resolution, for any one or more of the following purposes:
(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect, omission or inconsistent provision in this Resolution or in
the Bonds; or to comply with any applicable provision of law or regulation of federal or state
agencies; provided, however, that such action shall not materially adversely affect the interests
of the holders of the Bonds;
(b) to change the terms or provisions of this Resolution to the extent necessary to prevent

(a) Purpose. It is the purpose of this Article to regulate adult entertainment establishments in order to
promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the City, and to establish reasonable
and uniform regulations to prevent the deleterious secondary effects of adult entertainment
establishments within the City. The provisions of this Article have neither the purpose nor effect of
imposing a limitation or restriction on the content or reasonable access to any communicative materials,
including sexually oriented materials. Similarly, it is neither the intent nor effect of this Article to restrict
or deny access by adults to sexually oriented materials protected by the First Amendment, or to deny
access by the distributors and exhibitors of sexually oriented entertainment to their intended market.
Neither is it the intent nor effect of this Article to condone or legitimize the distribution of obscene
material.
(b) Findings and Rationale. Based on evidence of the adverse secondary effects of adult uses
presented in hearings and in reports provided to the City Council, and on findings, interpretations, and
narrowing constructions incorporated in the cases of City of Littleton v. Z.J. Gifts D-4, L.L.C., 541 U.S.

Reliable Consultants, Inc. v. City of Kennedale, No. 4:05-CV-166-A, Findings of Fact and Conclusions of

and based upon reports concerning secondary effects occurring in and around adult entertainment
establishments, including, but not limited to, Austin, Texas - 1986; Indianapolis, Indiana - 1984; Garden
Grove, California - 1991; Houston, Texas - 1983, 1997; Phoenix, Arizona - 1979, 1995-98; Chattanooga,

Carolina - 2003; Amarillo, Texas - 1977; Jackson County, Missouri – 2008; New York, New York Times
Square - 1994; and the Report of the Attorney General's Working Group On The Regulation Of Sexually
Oriented Businesses, (June 6, 1989, State of Minnesota),
the City Council finds:
(1) Adult entertainment establishments, as a category of commercial uses, are associated with a
wide variety of adverse secondary effects including, but not limited to, personal and property crimes,
prostitution, potential spread of disease, lewdness, public indecency, obscenity, illicit drug use and drug
trafficking, negative impacts on surrounding properties, traffic, noise, urban blight, litter, and sexual
assault and exploitation.
(2) Each of the foregoing negative secondary effects constitutes a harm which the City has a
substantial government interest in preventing and/or abating. This substantial government interest in
preventing secondary effects, which is the City’s rationale for this Article, exists independent of any
comparative analysis between adult and non-adult businesses. Additionally, the City’s interest in
regulating adult entertainment establishments extends to preventing future secondary effects of either
current or future adult entertainment establishments that may locate in the City. The City finds that the
cases and documentation relied on in this Article are reasonably believed to be relevant to said
secondary effects.
The City hereby adopts and incorporates herein its stated findings concerning the secondary effects
of adult entertainment establishments and the legislative record documents supporting same.
