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 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). 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 issuance,
the ownership of the Bonds will be registered in the registry books of the UMB 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, o btaining 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 Participant 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 Issuer'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 accordance 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 Representation letter.
e) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Bondholders 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 th e 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 appropriate 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 principal 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) 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.
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

the Issuer as to the correctness of all stated or recited facts.
