TION BONDS, SERIES 2018A, AND LEVYING A TAX TO PAY SAID BONDS; APPROVAL OF
THE TAX EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE AND CONTINUING DISCLOSURE CERTIFICATE
Whereas, the Issuer is duly incorporated, organized, and exists under and by virtue of
the laws and Constitution of the State of Iowa; and
Whereas, the Issuer is in need of funds to pay costs of equipping the public works and
transit departments, including the acquisition of emergency radio equipment and systems;
and refunding or refinancing certain outstanding indebtedness of the City, including Gen-
eral Obligation Bonds, Series 2011A, dated September 1 , 2011 , essential corporate pur-
pose(s), and it is deemed necessary and advisable that General Obligation Bonds, to the
amount of Not to Exceed $12,750,000 be authorized for said purpose(s); and
Whereas, it is found and determined that the aforesaid adjustment and refunding of
present indebtedness is necessary and in the public interest and will benefit the City and
its taxpayers by restructuring one (1) outstanding issue(s) of Bonds for purposes of more
efficient administration thereof; by conforming the debt service requirements to the antic-
ipated receipt of tax funds thereby reducing the impact of delays in the collection of future
taxes upon the City's cash flow; and to adjust the requirements of the outstanding indebt-
edness so as to facilitate the orderly retirement of Bonds anticipated to be issued for
future capital improvements; and
Whereas, it presently appears that the aforesaid benefits may be realized and at the
same time savings may be effected in the debt service fund requirements of the City by
refunding of the Bonds set forth in the schedule set forth as Exhibit "A", [provided with]
this Resolution and made a part hereof by this reference; and

b. Redemption.
i. Optional Redemption. Bonds maturing after June 1 , 2026, may be called for
optional redemption by the Issuer 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' written notice of redemption shall be given to the registered owner of
the Bond. Failure to give written notice 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. Written notice will be deemed completed upon
transmission to the owner of record.
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.
If less than all of a maturity is called for redemption, the Issuer will notify DTC of
the particular amount of such maturity to be redeemed prior to maturity. DTC will
determine by lot the amount of each Participant's interest in such maturity to be
redeemed and each Participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership inter-
ests in such maturity to be redeemed. All prepayments shall be at a price of par plus
accrued interest.
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 deter-
mines to permit the exchange of Depository Bonds for Bonds in Authorized Denomi-
nations, 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). The Bonds must be registered
in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. Payment of semiannual interest for
any Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co. will 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 or in the Representation
Letter.
b. The Bonds will be initially issued in the form of separate single authenticated fully
registered bonds in the amount of each stated maturity of the Bonds. Upon initial issu-
ance, the ownership of the Bonds will be registered in the registry books of the Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A. kept by the Paying Agent and Registrar in the name of Cede & Co.,
as nominee of DTC. The Paying Agent and Registrar and the Issuer may treat DTC (or
its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for
the purposes of payment of the principal or redemption price of or interest on the
Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions to be redeemed, giving any notice permitted or
required to be given to registered owners of Bonds under the Resolution of the Issuer,
registering the transfer of Bonds, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by
registered owners of the Bonds and for other purposes. The Paying Agent, Registrar
and the Issuer have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or Beneficial
Owner of the Bonds under or through DTC with respect to the accuracy of records
8
maintained by DTC or any Participant; with respect to the payment by DTC or Partici-
pant of an amount of principal or redemption price of or interest on the Bonds; with
respect to any notice given to owners of Bonds under the Resolution; with respect to
the Participant(s) selected to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of
the Bonds, or a consent given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner of the
Bonds. The Paying Agent and Registrar shall pay all principal of and premium, if any,
and interest on the Bonds only to Cede & Co. in accordance with the Representation
Letter, and all payments are valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issu-
er's obligations with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds to the extent of the sum paid. DTC must receive an authenticated Bond for each
separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of
principal of and premium, if any, and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the Paying
Agent and Registrar of written notice that DTC has determined to substitute a new
nominee in place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to the new nominee in
accordance with this Section.
c. In the event the Issuer determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial
Owners that they be able to obtain Bonds certificates, the Issuer may notify DTC and
the Paying Agent and Registrar, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants, of the
availability through DTC of Bonds certificates. The Bonds will be transferable in ac-
cordance with this Section. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services
with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the Issuer and the Paying
Agent and Registrar and discharging its responsibilities under applicable law. In this
event, the Bonds will be transferable in accordance with this Section.
d. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Resolution to the contrary, so long as
any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments
with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and all
notices must be made and given, respectively to DTC as provided in the Representa-
tion letter.
e. In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Bond-
holders by the Issuer or the Paying Agent and Registrar with respect to a consent or
other action to be taken by Bondholders, the Issuer or the Paying Agent and Registrar,
as the case may be, shall establish a record date for the consent or other action and
give DTC notice of the record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of the
record date to the extent possible. Notice to DTC must be given only when DTC is the
sole Bondholder.
f. The Representation Letter is on file with DTC and sets forth certain matters with
respect to, among other things, notices, consents and approvals by Bondholders and
payments on the Bonds. The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter to
DTC by the Issuer is ratified and confirmed.
g. In the event that a transfer or exchange of the Bonds is permitted under this
Section, the transfer or exchange may be accomplished upon receipt by the Registrar
from the registered owners of the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropri-
ate instruments of transfer. In the event Bond certificates are issued to holders other
than Cede & Co., its successor as nominee for DTC as holder of all the Bonds, or other
securities depository as holder of all the Bonds, the provisions of the Resolution apply
to, among other things, the printing of certificates and the method or payment of prin-
cipal of and interest on the certificates. 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
9
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The substitute depository shall provide for (i) im-
mobilization of the Depository Bonds, (ii) registration and transfer of interests in De-
pository 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.
h. The officers of the Issuer are authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to
the purchaser, and to the attorneys approving the legality of Bonds, certified copies of
proceedings, ordinances, resolutions and records and all certificates and affidavits and
other instruments as may be required to evidence the legality and marketability of the
Bonds, and all certified copies, certificates, affidavits and other instruments constitute
representations of the Issuer as to the correctness of all stated or recited facts.
Section 8 Registration of Bonds; Appointment of Registrar; Transfer; Ownership; De-
livery; 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

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 Com-
mercial 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 Registra-
tion 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 iden-
tification 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 regis-
tered 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 de-
nomination 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 repre-
sentative. 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.
10
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 can-
celled Bonds to the Issuer.
f. Non-Presentment of Bonds. In the event any payment check representing pay-
ment 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 con-
tinue 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 redemp-
tion thereof, or otherwise, at which time the Paying Agent, shall surrender any remain-
ing 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 addi-
tional 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 out-
standing 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 satis-
factory 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 of the month 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.
Upon receipt of the final payment of principal, the holder of the Bond shall surrender 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 the Bonds by their manual or author-
ized signature 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 oblig-
atory 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
11
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 authenti-
cated 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

the validity and legality of all the Bonds proposed to be issued.

right to name a substitute, successor Registrar or Paying Agent upon giving prompt writ-
ten notice to each registered bondholder.
Section 13 Form of Bond. Bonds shall be printed substantially in the form as [Provided]:
Section 14. Closing Documents. The Mayor and City Clerk are authorized and directed
to execute, attest, seal and deliver for and on behalf of the City any other additional cer-
tificates, documents, or other papers and perform all other acts, including without limita-
tion the execution of all closing documents, as they may deem necessary or appropriate
in order to implement and carry out the intent and purposes of this Resolution.
Section 15. Contract Between Issuer and Purchaser. This Resolution constitutes a
contract between said City and the purchaser of the Bonds.
Section 16. 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 cause any of the Bonds to be classified as arbitrage bonds within
the meaning of Sections 148(a) and (b) of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States,
as amended, and that throughout the term of the Bonds it will comply with the require-
ments of statutes 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 ex-
pected that the proceeds of the Bonds will be used in a manner that would cause the
Bonds to be arbitrage bonds.
Section 17. Approval of Tax Exemption Certificate. Attached hereto is a form of Tax
Exemption Certificate stating the Issuer's reasonable expectations as to the use of the
proceeds of the Bonds. The form of Tax Exemption Certificate is approved. 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 Finance Director is hereby directed to make and insert all calcula-
tions and determinations necessary to complete the Tax Exemption Certificate at issu-
ance of the Bonds to certify as to the reasonable expectations and covenants of the Issuer
at that date.
Section 18. Continuing Disclosure. The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that it will
comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate,
and the provisions of the 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,
12
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 Is-
suer to comply with its obligations under the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. For pur-
poses of this section, "Beneficial Owner" means any person which (a) has the power,
directly or indirectly, to vote or consent with respect to, or to dispose of ownership of, any
Bond (including persons holding Bonds through nominees, depositories or other interme-
diaries), or (b) is treated as the owner of any Bonds for federal income tax purposes.
Section 19. Additional Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Issuer. The
Issuer certifies and covenants with the purchasers and holders of the 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) com-
ply 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 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 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 com-
pliance.
Section 20. Amendment of Resolution to Maintain Tax Exemption. This Resolution may
be amended without the consent of any owner of the Bonds if, in the opinion of Bond
Counsel, such amendment is necessary to maintain tax exemption with respect to the
Bonds under applicable Federal law or regulations.
Section 21 . Repeal of Conflicting Resolutions or Ordinances. All ordinances and reso-
lutions and parts of ordinances and resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
Section 23. Severability Clause. If any section, paragraph, clause or provision of this

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 deter-
mines to permit the exchange of Depository Bonds for Bonds in Authorized Denomi-
nations, 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). The Bonds must be registered
in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. Payment of semiannual interest for
any Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co. will 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 or in the Representation
Letter.
b. The Bonds will be initially issued in the form of separate single authenticated fully
registered bonds in the amount of each stated maturity of the Bonds. Upon initial issu-
ance, the ownership of the Bonds will be registered in the registry books of the Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A. kept by the Paying Agent and Registrar in the name of Cede & Co.,
as nominee of DTC. The Paying Agent and Registrar and the Issuer may treat DTC (or
its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for
the purposes of payment of the principal or redemption price of or interest on the
Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions to be redeemed, giving any notice permitted or
required to be given to registered owners of Bonds under the Resolution of the Issuer,
17
registering the transfer of Bonds, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by
registered owners of the Bonds and for other purposes. The Paying Agent, Registrar
and the Issuer have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or Beneficial
Owner of the Bonds under or through DTC with respect to the accuracy of records
maintained by DTC or any Participant; with respect to the payment by DTC or Partici-
pant of an amount of principal or redemption price of or interest on the Bonds; with
respect to any notice given to owners of Bonds under the Resolution; with respect to
the Participant(s) selected to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of
the Bonds, or a consent given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner of the
Bonds. The Paying Agent and Registrar shall pay all principal of and premium, if any,
and interest on the Bonds only to Cede & Co. in accordance with the Representation
Letter, and all payments are valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issu-
er's obligations with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds to the extent of the sum paid. DTC must receive an authenticated Bond for each
separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of
principal of and premium, if any, and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the Paying
Agent and Registrar of written notice that DTC has determined to substitute a new
nominee in place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to the new nominee in
accordance with this Section.
c. In the event the Issuer determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial
Owners that they be able to obtain Bonds certificates, the Issuer may notify DTC and
the Paying Agent and Registrar, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants, of the
availability through DTC of Bonds certificates. The Bonds will be transferable in ac-
cordance with this Section. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services
with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the Issuer and the Paying
Agent and Registrar and discharging its responsibilities under applicable law. In this
event, the Bonds will be transferable in accordance with this Section.
d. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Resolution to the contrary, so long as
any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments
with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and all
notices must be made and given, respectively to DTC as provided in the Representa-
tion letter.
e. In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Bond-
holders by the Issuer or the Paying Agent and Registrar with respect to a consent or
other action to be taken by Bondholders, the Issuer or the Paying Agent and Registrar,
as the case may be, shall establish a record date for the consent or other action and
give DTC notice of the record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of the
record date to the extent possible. Notice to DTC must be given only when DTC is the
sole Bondholder.
f. The Representation Letter is on file with DTC and sets forth certain matters with
respect to, among other things, notices, consents and approvals by Bondholders and
payments on the Bonds. The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter to
DTC by the Issuer is ratified and confirmed.
g. In the event that a transfer or exchange of the Bonds is permitted under this
Section, the transfer or exchange may be accomplished upon receipt by the Registrar
from the registered owners of the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropri-
ate instruments of transfer. In the event Bond certificates are issued to holders other
than Cede & Co., its successor as nominee for DTC as holder of all the Bonds, or other
securities depository as holder of all the Bonds, the provisions of the Resolution apply
18
to, among other things, the printing of certificates and the method or payment of prin-
cipal of and interest on the certificates. 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) im-
mobilization of the Depository Bonds, (ii) registration and transfer of interests in De-
pository 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.
h. The officers of the Issuer are authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to
the purchaser, and to the attorneys approving the legality of Bonds, certified copies of
proceedings, ordinances, resolutions and records and all certificates and affidavits and
other instruments as may be required to evidence the legality and marketability of the
Bonds, and all certified copies, certificates, affidavits and other instruments constitute
representations of the Issuer as to the correctness of all stated or recited facts.
Section 8. Registration of Bonds; Appointment of Registrar; Transfer; Ownership; De-
livery; and Cancellation.
a. Registration. The ownership of Bonds may be transferred only by the making of

Registrar, along with the address and social security number or federal employer iden-
tification 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 regis-
tered 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 de-
nomination or denominations permitted by this Resolution in aggregate principal

fully registered Bond, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on 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
19
be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or his legal repre-
sentative. 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 can-
celled Bonds to the Issuer.
f. Non-Presentment of Bonds. In the event any payment check representing pay-
ment 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 con-
tinue 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 redemp-
tion thereof, or otherwise, at which time the Paying Agent, shall surrender any remain-
ing 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.

tional 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 out-
standing 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 satis-
factory 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 of the month 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.
Upon receipt of the final payment of principal, the holder of the Bond shall surrender the
Bond to the Paying Agent.

this Resolution, the Mayor and Clerk shall execute the Bonds by their manual or author-
ized signature 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 oblig-
atory 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 authenti-
cated has been duly issued under this Resolution and that the holder thereof is entitled
to the benefits of this Resolution.

shall have been provided the following:
1 . A certified copy of the Resolution of Issuer authorizing the issuance of the Bonds;

contract between said City and the purchaser of the Bonds.

comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate,
and the provisions of the 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 Is-
suer to comply with its obligations under the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. For pur-
poses of this section, "Beneficial Owner" means any person which (a) has the power,
