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.
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 the Authorized De-
nominations, 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 Deposi-
tory Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Pay -
13
ment 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 pursu-
ant 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 Pay-
ing 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 mat-
ters 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
Bond holder 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 satis-
factory 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 ex-
change 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 Bene-
ficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the owners, the Bonds will be de-
livered 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 Pay-
ing Agent. Any such substitute depository shall be a qualified and registered "clearing
14
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 Deposi-
tory Bonds, (ii) registration and transfer of interests in Depository Bonds by book en-
tries 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 inter-
ests may appear with respect to such book entries.
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
Bonds, and in no other way. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby ap-
pointed as Bond Registrar under the terms of this Resolution and under the provi-
sions 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 regis-
tration 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 Ar-
ticle 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code and Section 384.31 of the Code of Iowa, sub-
ject 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 em-
ployer 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 dis-
closed 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 princi-
pal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed principal amount of such trans-
ferred 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 dis-
charge 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
15
forward the cancelled 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 Is-
suer 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 ben-
efit 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 Resolu-
tion 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 ad-
ditional 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 substitu-
tion 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 Regis-
trar evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond has been de-
stroyed, stolen or lost and proof of ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the Registrar
and Issuer with satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other reasonable regula-
tions 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 there-
of 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 obli-
gations 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 Reg-
istrar, 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.
16
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 authen-
tication and delivery of the Bonds to or upon the order of the Purchaser upon pay-
ment of the purchase price as set forth therein;
3. The approving opinion of Ahlers & Cooney, P.C., Bond Counsel, concerning the
validity and legality of all the Bonds proposed to be issued.
Section 12. Right to Name Substitute Paying Agent or Registrar. Issuer reserves the
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 in substantial compliance with
standards proposed by the American Standards Institute substantially in the form as
[provided].
Section 14. Contract Between Issuer and Purchaser. This Resolution constitutes a
contract between said City and the purchaser of the Bonds.
Section 15. Severability Clause. If any section, paragraph, clause or provision of this
Resolution be held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any of the remaining provi-
sions hereof, and this Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage
and approval.
Section 16. Continuing Disclosure. The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that it
will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certifi-
cate, and the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate are hereby incorpo-
rated 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 Certifi-
cate. For purposes 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 own-
ership of, any Bond (including persons holding Bonds through nominees, depositories
or other intermediaries), or (b) is treated as the owner of any Bonds for federal income
tax purposes.
Section 17. Repeal of Conflicting Resolutions or Ordinances. That all ordinances and
resolutions and parts of ordinances and resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby re-
pealed.

lected they shall be converted into a special fund within the Debt Service Fund to be

terest on the Bonds hereinafter authorized to be issued; and also there shall be appor-
tioned to said fund its proportion of taxes received by the City from property that is cen-
trally assessed by the State of Iowa.

(b) Redemption. Bonds maturing after June 1, 2019 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 from time to time in part, in any order of ma-
turity 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 such 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.
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.
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 the Authorized De-
nominations, 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 Deposi-
23
tory Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Pay-
ment 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 pursu-
ant 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 Pay-
ing 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 mat-
ters 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
Bond holder 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 satis-
factory 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 ex-
change 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 Bene-
ficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the owners, the Bonds will be de-
livered 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 Pay-
24
ing 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 Deposi-
tory Bonds, (ii) registration and transfer of interests in Depository Bonds by book en-
tries 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 inter-
ests may appear with respect to such book entries.
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
Bonds, and in no other way. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby ap-
pointed as Bond Registrar under the terms of this Resolution and under the provi-
sions 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 regis-
tration 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 Ar-
ticle 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code and Section 384.31 of the Code of Iowa, sub-
ject 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 em-
ployer 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 dis-
closed 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 princi-
pal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed principal amount of such trans-
ferred 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 dis-
charge 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
25
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 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 Is-
suer 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 ben-
efit 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 Resolu-
tion 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 ad-
ditional 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 substitu-
tion 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 Regis-
trar evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond has been de-
stroyed, stolen or lost and proof of ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the Registrar
and Issuer with satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other reasonable regula-
tions 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 there-
of or to their designated agent as the same appear on the books of the Registrar on the
15h day of the month preceding the payment date. All such payments shall fully dis-
charge the obligations of the Issuer in respect of such Bonds to the extent of the pay-
ments 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 Reg-
istrar, 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
26
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 authen-
tication and delivery of the Bonds to or upon the order of the Purchaser upon pay-
ment of the purchase price as set forth therein;
3. The approving opinion of Ahlers & Cooney, P.C., Bond Counsel, concerning the
validity and legality of all the Bonds proposed to be issued.
Section 12. Right to Name Substitute Paying Agent or Registrar. Issuer reserves the
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 in substantial compliance with
standards proposed by the American Standards Institute substantially in the form as
[provided].
Section 14. Contract Between Issuer and Purchaser. This Resolution constitutes a
contract between said 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 is-
sued 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 Unit-
ed States, as amended, and that throughout the term of the Bonds it will comply with the
requirements 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
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 all calcula-
tions and determinations necessary to complete the Tax Exemption Certificate in all re-
spects and to execute and deliver the Tax Exemption Certificate at issuance of the
Bonds to certify as to the reasonable expectations and covenants of the Issuer at that
date.
Section 16. Severability Clause. If any section, paragraph, clause or provision of this
Resolution be held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any of the remaining provi-
sions hereof, and this Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage
and approval.
Section 17. Continuing Disclosure. The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that it
will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certifi-
cate, and the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate are hereby incorpo-
rated 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 Certifi-
cate. For purposes 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 own-
27
ership of, any Bond (including persons holding Bonds through nominees, depositories
or other intermediaries), or (b) is treated as the owner of any Bonds for federal income
tax purposes.
Section 18. 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)
comply with all representations, covenants and assurances contained in the Tax Ex-
emption Certificate, which Tax Exemption Certificate shall constitute a part of the con-
tract 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 re-
quired 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 as-
sist the Issuer in such compliance.
Section 19. 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 20. Repeal of Conflicting Resolutions or Ordinances. That all ordinances and
resolutions and parts of ordinances and resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby re-
pealed.
