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 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 (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
116
Regular Session, April 4, 2005
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 17 A 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

under the provisions of a separate agreement
with the Issuer filed herewith which is made a
part hereof by this reference.) Registrar shall

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 provisions of this
Resolution.

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
Regular Session, April 4, 2005
117
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

be valid or obligatory for any purpose or shall be
entitled to any right or benefit hereunder unless

such Bond a Certificate of Authentication
substantially in the form of the Certificate herein
set forth. Such Certificate upon any Bond

Certificate and the provisions of the Tax
Exemption Certificate are hereby incorporated

Issuer determines to provide for the exchange of
Depository Bonds for Bonds in Authorized
Denominations, the Issuer shall so notify the

liability upon such Bond, including the interest
thereon, to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid.

redeemed shall not be reissued but shall be
cancelled by the Registrar. All Bonds which are
cancelled by the Registrar shall be destroyed

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

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

such interest or Bonds of whatever nature shall
be made upon the Issuer.

bonds in lesser denominations (but not less than
the minimum denomination) to an owner who so
requests.

redemption, made in respect of any Bond, shall

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 Bonds will be used in a manner
that would cause the 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
