upon such Note, including the interest thereon, to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid.
(e) Cancellation. All Notes which have been redeemed shall not be reissued but shall
be cancelled by the Registrar. All Notes 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 Notes to the Issuer.
(f) Non-Presentment of Notes. In the event any payment check representing payment
of principal of or interest on the Notes is returned to the Paying Agent or if any note is
not presented for payment of principal at the maturity or redemption date, if funds suffi-
cient to pay such principal of or interest on Notes 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 Notes 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
Notes who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of what-
ever nature on his part under this Resolution or on, or with respect to, such interest or
29
Notes. 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

dence satisfactory to the Registrar and Issuer that such Note has been destroyed, sto-
len 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.

redemption, made in respect of any Note, 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
th
15 day of the month preceding the payment date. All such payments shall fully dis-
charge the obligations of the Issuer in respect of such Notes to the extent of the pay-
ments so made.

of this Resolution, the Mayor and City Clerk shall execute and deliver the Notes to the

tled to any right or benefit hereunder unless the Registrar shall duly endorse and exe-
cute on such Note a Certificate of Authentication substantially in the form of the Certifi-

Notes and Parity Obligations shall be secured equally and ratably by the revenues of
the System without priority by reason of number or time of sale or delivery; and the rev-
enues of the System are hereby irrevocably pledged to the timely payment of both prin-
cipal and interest as the same become due
Section 15. Application of Note Proceeds - Project Fund. Proceeds of the Notes shall
be credited to the Project Fund and expended therefrom for the purposes of issuance.
30
Any amounts on hand in the Project Fund shall be available for the payment of the prin-
cipal of or interest on the Notes at any time that other funds of the System shall be in-
sufficient to the purpose, in which event such funds shall be repaid to the Project Fund
at the earliest opportunity. Any balance on hand in the Project Fund and not immediate-
ly required for its purposes may be invested not inconsistent with limitations provided by
law, the Internal Revenue Code and this Resolution.
Section 16. User Rates. There has heretofore been established and published as re-
quired by law, just and equitable rates or charges for the use of the service rendered by
the System. Said rates or charges shall be paid by the owner of each and every lot,
parcel of real estate, or building that is connected with and uses the System, by or
through any part of the System or that in any way uses or is served by the System. Any
revenue paid and collected for the use of the System and its services by the Issuer or
any department, agency or instrumentality of the Issuer shall be used and accounted for
in the same manner as any other revenues derived from the operations of the System.
Section 17. Application of Revenues. From and after the delivery of any Notes, and
as long as any of the Notes or Parity Obligations shall be outstanding and unpaid either
as to principal or as to interest, or until all of the Notes and Parity Obligations then out-
standing shall have been discharged and satisfied in the manner provided in this Reso-
lution, the entire income and revenues of the System shall be deposited as collected in
a fund to be known as the Sewer Revenue Fund (the "Revenue Fund"), and shall be
disbursed only as follows:
The provisions in the Prior Note Resolution heretofore adopted on August 10, 2010,
whereby there was created and is to be maintained a Sewer Revenue Note Principal
and Interest Sinking Fund, and for the monthly payment into said fund from the future
Net Revenues of the System such portion thereof as will be sufficient to meet the princi-
pal and interest of the Outstanding Obligations, and maintaining a reserve therefor, are
hereby ratified and confirmed, and all such provisions inure to and constitute the securi-
ty for the payment of the principal and interest on Notes hereby authorized to be issued;
provided, however, that the amounts to be set aside and paid into the Sewer Revenue
Note Principal and Interest Sinking Fund in equal monthly installments from the earn-
ings shall be sufficient to pay the principal and interest due each year, not only on the
Outstanding Obligations, but also the principal and interest of the Notes herein author-
ized to be issued and to maintain a reserve therefor. Section 6.5 of the Prior Note Reso-
lution is hereby ratified, confirmed, adopted and incorporated herein as a part of this
Resolution. Except as may be otherwise provided in the above Prior Note Resolutions,
proceeds of the Notes or other funds may be invested in Permitted Investments.
Nothing in this Resolution shall be construed to impair the rights vested in the Out-
standing Obligations. The amounts herein required to be paid into the various funds
named in this Section shall be inclusive of payments required in respect to the Out-
standing Obligations. The provisions of the legislation authorizing the Outstanding Obli-
gations and the provisions of this Resolution are to be construed wherever possible so
that the same will not be in conflict. In the event such construction is not possible, the
provisions of the resolution first adopted shall prevail until such time as the notes or
bonds authorized by said resolution have been paid in full or otherwise satisfied as
therein provided at which time the provisions of this Resolution shall again prevail.
At such time as the Outstanding Obligations are paid and so long as the Notes or
31
Parity Obligations remain outstanding and unpaid the same are discharged and satis-
fied in the manner provided in this Resolution, the entire income and revenues of the
system shall be deposited and collected in a fund to be known as the Revenue Fund,
and shall be disbursed only as follows:
● Operation and Maintenance Fund. Money in the Revenue Fund shall first be dis-
bursed to make deposits into a separate and special fund to pay current expenses. The
fund shall be known as the Sewer Utility Operation and Maintenance Fund (the "Opera-
tion and Maintenance Fund"). There shall be deposited in the Operation and Mainte-
nance Fund each month an amount sufficient to meet the current expenses of the
month plus an amount equal to 1/12th of expenses payable on an annual basis such as
insurance. After the first day of the month, further deposits may be made to this account
from the Revenue Fund to the extent necessary to pay current expenses accrued and
payable to the extent that funds are not available in the Surplus Fund.
● Sinking Fund. Money in the Revenue Fund shall next be disbursed to make depos-
its into a separate and special fund to pay principal of and interest on the Notes and
Parity Obligations. The fund shall be known as the Sewer Revenue Note Principal and
Interest Sinking Fund (the "Sinking Fund"). The required amount to be deposited in the
Sinking Fund in any month shall be an amount equal to 1/6th of the installment of inter-
est coming due on the next interest payment date on the then outstanding Notes and
Parity Obligations, plus 1/12th of the installment of principal coming due on such Notes
on the next succeeding principal payment date until the full amount of such installment
is on hand. If for any reason the amount on hand in the Sinking Fund exceeds the re-
quired amount, the excess shall forthwith be withdrawn and paid into the Revenue
Fund. Money in the Sinking Fund shall be used solely for the purpose of paying princi-
pal of and interest on the Notes and Parity Obligations as the same shall become due
and payable.
● Subordinate Obligations. Money in the Revenue Fund may next be used to pay
principal of and interest on (including reasonable reserves therefor) any other obliga-
tions which by their terms shall be payable from the revenues of the System, but subor-
dinate to the Notes and Parity Obligations, and which have been issued for the purpos-
es of extensions and improvements to the System or to retire the Notes or Parity Obli-
gations in advance of maturity, or to pay for extraordinary repairs or replacements to the
System.
● Surplus Revenue. All money thereafter remaining in the Revenue Fund at the close
of each month may be deposited in any of the funds created by this Resolution, to pay
for extraordinary repairs or replacements to the System, or may be used to pay or re-
deem the Notes or Parity Obligations, any of them, or for any lawful purpose.
Money in the Revenue Fund shall be allotted and paid into the various funds and ac-
counts hereinbefore referred to in the order in which said funds are listed, on a cumula-
tive basis on the 10th day of each month, or on the next succeeding business day when
the l0th shall not be a business day; and if in any month the money in the Revenue
Fund shall be insufficient to deposit or transfer the required amount in any of said funds
or accounts, the deficiency shall be made up in the following month or months after
payments into all funds and accounts enjoying a prior claim to the revenues shall have
been met in full.
Section 18. Investments. Moneys on hand in the Project Fund and all of the funds
32
provided by this Resolution may be invested only in Permitted Investments or deposited
in financial institutions which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora-
tion, or its equivalent successor, and the deposits of which are insured thereby and all
such deposits exceeding the maximum amount insured from time to time by FDIC or its
equivalent successor in any one financial institution shall be continuously secured in
compliance with Iowa Code chapter 12C, or otherwise by a valid pledge of direct obliga-
tions of the United States Government having an equivalent market value. All invest-
ments shall mature before the date on which the moneys are required for the purposes
for which the fund was created or otherwise as herein provided. The provisions of this
Section shall not be construed to require the Issuer to maintain separate accounts for
the funds created by this Resolution. The Sinking Fund shall be segregated in a sepa-
rate account but may be invested in the same manner as other funds of the Issuer but
designated as a trust fund on the books and records of the Issuer. The Sinking Fund
shall not be available for any other purposes other than those specified in this Resolu-
tion.
All income derived from such investments shall be deposited in the Revenue Fund
and shall be regarded as revenues of the System. Investments shall at any time neces-
sary be liquidated and the proceeds thereof applied to the purpose for which the respec-
tive fund was created.
Section 19. Covenants Regarding the Operation of the System. The Issuer hereby
covenants and agrees with each and every holder of the Notes and Parity Obligations:
(a) Maintenance and Efficiency. The Issuer will maintain the System in good condi-
tion and operate it in an efficient manner and at reasonable cost.
(b) Sufficiency of Rates. On or before the beginning of each Fiscal Year the Govern-
ing Body will adopt or continue in effect rates for all services rendered by the System
determined to be sufficient to produce Net Revenues for the next succeeding Fiscal
Year which are (i) adequate to pay the principal and interest requirements thereof and
to create or maintain the reserves as provided in this Resolution, and (ii) not less than
110 percent of the principal and interest requirements of the next succeeding Fiscal
Year. No free use of the System by the Issuer or any department, agency or instrumen-
tality of the Issuer shall be permitted except upon the determination of the Governing
Body that the rates and changes otherwise in effect are sufficient to provide Net Reve-
nues at least equal to the requirements of this subsection.
(c) Insurance. The Issuer shall maintain insurance for the benefit of the Noteholders
on the insurable portions of the System of a kind and in an amount which normally
would be carried by private companies engaged in a similar kind of business. The pro-
ceeds of any insurance, except public liability insurance, shall be used to repair or re-
place the part or parts of the System damaged or destroyed, or if not so used shall be
placed in an improvement fund for the benefit of the System.
(d) Accounting and Audits. The Issuer will cause to be kept proper books and ac-
counts adapted to the System and in accordance with generally accepted accounting
practices and will diligently act to cause the books and accounts to be audited and re-
ported upon by an Independent Auditor and will provide copies of the audit report to the
Department, all as provided in the Agreement. The Original Purchaser and holders of
any of the Notes and Parity Obligations shall have at all reasonable times the right to
inspect the System and the records, accounts and data of the Issuer relating thereto.
33
(e) State Laws. The Issuer will faithfully and punctually perform all duties with refer-
ence to the System required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Iowa, including
the making and collecting of reasonable and sufficient rates for services rendered by the
System as above provided, and will segregate the revenues of the System and apply
said revenues to the funds specified in this Resolution.
(f) Property. The Issuer will not sell, lease, mortgage or in any manner dispose of the
System, or any capital part thereof, including any and all extensions and additions that
may be made thereto, until satisfaction and discharge of all of the Notes and Parity Ob-
ligations shall have been provided for in the manner provided in this Resolution; provid-
ed, however, this covenant shall not be construed to prevent the disposal by the Issuer
of property which in the judgment of its Governing Body has become inexpedient or un-
profitable to use in connection with the System, or if it is to the advantage of the System
that other property of equal or higher value be substituted therefor, and provided further
that the proceeds of the disposition of such property shall be placed in a revolving fund
to be used in preference to other sources for capital improvements to the System. Any
such proceeds of the disposition of property acquired with the proceeds of the Notes or
Parity Obligations shall not be used to pay principal or interest on the Notes and Parity
Obligations or for payments into the Sinking Fund.
(g) Fidelity Bond. That the Issuer shall maintain fidelity bond coverage in amounts
which normally would be carried by private companies engaged in a similar kind of
business on each officer or employee having custody of funds of the System.
(h) Additional Charges. The Issuer will require proper connecting charges and/or oth-
er security for the payment of service charges.
(i) Budget. The Governing Body of the Issuer shall approve and conduct operations
pursuant to a system budget of revenues and current expenses for each Fiscal Year.
Such budget shall take into account revenues and current expenses during the current
and last preceding Fiscal Years. Copies of such budget and any amendments thereto
shall be mailed to the Original Purchaser and to the Noteholders upon request. (j) Loan
and Disbursement Agreement. The Issuer will comply with the terms and conditions of
the Loan and Disbursement Agreement and perform as provided thereunder.
Section 20. Remedies of Noteholders. Except as herein expressly limited the holder
or holders of the Notes and Parity Obligations shall have and possess all the rights of
action and remedies afforded by the common law, the Constitution and statutes of the
State of Iowa, and of the United States of America, for the enforcement of payment of
their Notes and interest thereon, and of the pledge of the revenues made hereunder,
and of all covenants of the Issuer hereunder.
Section 21. Prior Lien and Parity Obligations. The Issuer will issue no other notes,
bonds or obligations of any kind or nature payable from or enjoying a lien or claim on
the property or revenues of the System having priority over the Notes or Parity Obliga-
tions.
Additional Bonds may be issued on a parity and equality of rank with the Notes with
respect to the lien and claim of such additional obligations to the revenues of the Sys-
tem and the money on deposit in the funds adopted by this Resolution, for the following
purposes and under the following conditions, but not otherwise:
(a) For the purpose of refunding any of the Notes or Parity Obligations which shall
have matured or which shall mature not later than three months after the date of deliv-
34
ery of such refunding obligation and for the payment of which there shall be insufficient
money in the Sinking Fund;
(b) For the purpose of making extensions, additions, improvements or replacements
to the System, or refunding any outstanding Notes, Parity Obligations or other obliga-
tions issued for such extensions, additions and improvements, if all of the following con-
ditions shall have been met:
(i) before any such Additional Bonds ranking on a parity are issued, there will have
been procured and filed with the Clerk, a statement of an Independent Auditor, not a
regular employee of the Issuer, reciting the opinion based upon necessary investiga-
tions that the Net Revenues of the System for the preceding Fiscal Year (with adjust-
ments as hereinafter provided) were equal to at least 1.10 times the maximum amount
that will be required in any Fiscal Year prior to the longest maturity of any of the then
outstanding Notes or Parity Obligations for both principal of and interest on all Notes or
Parity Obligations then outstanding which are payable from the net earnings of the Sys-
tem and the Additional Bonds then proposed to be issued.
For the purpose of determining the Net Revenues of the System for the preceding
Fiscal Year as aforesaid, the amount of the gross revenues for such year may be ad-
justed by an independent consulting engineer or by the Independent Auditor, so as to
reflect any changes in the amount of such revenues which would have resulted had any
revision of the schedule of rates or charges imposed at or prior to the time of the issu-
ance of any such Additional Bonds been in effect during all of such preceding Fiscal
Year.
(ii) the Additional Bonds must be payable as to principal and as to interest on the
same month and day as the Notes herein authorized.
(iii) for the purposes of this Section, principal and interest falling due on the first day
of a Fiscal Year shall be deemed a requirement of the immediately preceding Fiscal
Year.
(iv) for the purposes of this Section, general obligation bonds or notes shall be re-
funded only upon a finding of necessity by the Governing Body and only to the extent
the general obligation bonds or notes were issued or the proceeds thereof were ex-
pended for the System.
(v) for purposes of this Section, "preceding Fiscal Year" shall be the most recently
completed Fiscal Year for which audited financial statements prepared by a certified
public accountant are issued and available, but in no event a Fiscal Year which ended
more than eighteen months prior to the date of issuance of the Additional Bonds.
Section 22. Disposition of Proceeds; Arbitrage Not Permitted. The Issuer reasonably
expects and covenants that no use will be made of the proceeds from the issuance and
sale of the Notes issued hereunder which will cause any of the Notes to be classified as
arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148(a) and (b) of the Internal Revenue
Code of the United States, and that throughout the term of said Notes it will comply with
the requirements of said statute and regulations issued thereunder.
To the best knowledge and belief of the Issuer, there are no facts or circumstances
that would materially change the foregoing statements or the conclusion that it is not
expected that the proceeds of the Notes will be used in a manner that would cause the
Notes 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
35
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
Notes to certify as to the reasonable expectations and covenants of the Issuer at that
date.
The Issuer covenants that it will treat as Yield Restricted any proceeds of the Notes
remaining unexpended after three years from the issuance and any other funds required
by the Tax Exemption Certificate to be so treated. If any investments are held with re-
spect to the Notes and Parity Obligations, the Issuer shall treat the same for the pur-
pose of restricted yield as held in proportion to the original principal amounts of each
issue.
The Issuer covenants that it will exceed any investment yield restriction provided in
this Resolution only in the event that it shall first obtain an opinion of recognized bond
counsel that the proposed investment action will not cause the Notes to be classified as
arbitrage bonds under Section 148(a) and (b) the Internal Revenue Code or regulations
issued thereunder.
The Issuer covenants that it will proceed with due diligence to spend the proceeds of
the Notes for the purpose set forth in this Resolution. The Issuer further covenants that
it will make no change in the use of the proceeds available for the construction of facili-
ties or change in the use of any portion of the facilities constructed therefrom by per-
sons other than the Issuer or the general public unless it has obtained an opinion of
bond counsel or a revenue ruling that the proposed project or use will not be of such
character as to cause interest on any of the Notes not to be exempt from federal income
taxes in the hands of holders other than substantial users of the project, under the pro-
visions of Section 142(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, related
statutes and regulations.
Section 23. Additional Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Issuer. The
Issuer certifies and covenants with the purchasers and holders of the Notes 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 Notes; (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 Notes; (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 24. Amendment of Resolution to Maintain Tax Exemption. This Resolution
may be amended without the consent of any owner of the Notes if, in the opinion of
bond counsel, such amendment is necessary to maintain tax exemption with respect to
the Notes under applicable Federal law or regulations.
Section 25. Discharge and Satisfaction of Notes. The covenants, liens and pledges
entered into, created or imposed pursuant to this Resolution may be fully discharged
36
and satisfied with respect to the Notes and Parity Obligations, or any of them, in any
one or more of the following ways:
(a) By paying the Notes or Parity Obligations when the same shall become due and
payable; and
(b) By depositing in trust with the Treasurer, or with a corporate trustee designated by
the Governing Body, for the payment of said obligations and irrevocably appropriated
exclusively to that purpose an amount in cash or direct obligations of the United States
the maturities and income of which shall be sufficient to retire at maturity, or by redemp-
tion prior to maturity on a designated date upon which said obligations may be re-
deemed, all of such obligations outstanding at the time, together with the interest there-
on to maturity or to the designated redemption date, premiums thereon, if any that may
be payable on the redemption of the same; provided that proper notice of redemption of
all such obligations to be redeemed shall have been previously published or provisions
shall have been made for such publication.
Upon such payment or deposit of money or securities, or both, in the amount and
manner provided by this Section, all liability of the Issuer with respect to the Notes or
Obligations shall cease, determine and be completely discharged, and the holders
thereof shall be entitled only to payment out of the money or securities so deposited.
Section 26. Resolution a Contract. The provisions of this Resolution shall constitute a
contract between the Issuer and the holder or holders of the Notes and Parity Obliga-
tions, and after the issuance of any of the Notes no change, variation or alteration of
any kind in the provisions of this Resolution shall be made in any manner, except as
provided in the next succeeding Section, until such time as all of the Notes and Parity
Obligations, and interest due thereon, shall have been satisfied and discharged as pro-
vided in this Resolution.
Section 27. Amendment of Resolution Without Consent. The Issuer may, without the
consent of or notice to any of the holders of the Bonds and Parity Obligations, amend or
supplement this Resolution for any one or more of the following purposes:
(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect, omission or inconsistent provision in this Resolution
or in the Notes or Parity Obligations; or to comply with any applicable provision of law or
regulation of federal or state agencies; provided, however, that such action shall not
materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Notes or Parity Obligations;
(b) to change the terms or provisions of this Resolution to the extent necessary to
prevent the interest on the Notes or Parity Obligations from being includable within the
gross income of the holders thereof for federal income tax purposes;
(c) to grant to or confer upon the holders of the Notes or Parity Obligations any addi-
tional rights, remedies, powers or authority that may lawfully be granted to or conferred
upon the holders of the Notes;
(d) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Issuer contained in this Resolution
other covenants and agreements of, or conditions or restrictions upon, the Issuer or to
surrender or eliminate any right or power reserved to or conferred upon the Issuer in
this Resolution; or
(e) to subject to the lien and pledge of this Resolution additional pledged revenues as
may be permitted by law.
Section 28. Amendment of Resolution Requiring Consent. This Resolution may be
amended from time to time if such amendment shall have been consented to by holders
37
of not less than two-thirds in principal amount of the Notes and Parity Obligations at any
time outstanding (not including in any case any Notes which may then be held or owned
by or for the account of the Issuer, but including such Refunding Obligations as may
have been issued for the purpose of refunding any of such Notes if such Refunding Ob-
ligations shall not then be owned by the Issuer); but this Resolution may not be so
amended in such manner as to:
(a) Make any change in the maturity or interest rate of the Notes, or modify the terms
of payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or any of them or impose any condi-
tions with respect to such payment;
(b) Materially affect the rights of the holders of less than all of the Notes and Parity
Obligations then outstanding; and
(c) Reduce the percentage of the principal amount of Notes, the consent of the hold-
ers of which is required to effect a further amendment.
Whenever the Issuer shall propose to amend this Resolution under the provisions of
this Section, it shall cause notice of the proposed amendment to be filed with the Origi-
nal Purchaser and to be mailed by certified mail to each registered owner of any Note
as shown by the records of the Registrar. Such notice shall set forth the nature of the
proposed amendment and shall state that a copy of the proposed amendatory Resolu-
tion is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
Whenever at any time within one year from the date of the mailing of said notice
there shall be filed with the City Clerk an instrument or instruments executed by the
holders of at least two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstand-
ing as in this Section defined, which instrument or instruments shall refer to the pro-
posed amendatory Resolution described in said notice and shall specifically consent to
and approve the adoption thereof, thereupon, but not otherwise, the Governing Body of
the Issuer may adopt such amendatory Resolution and such Resolution shall become
effective and binding upon the holders of all of the Notes and Parity Obligations.
Any consent given by the holder of a Note pursuant to the provisions of this Section
shall be irrevocable for a period of six months from the date of the instrument evidenc-
ing such consent and shall be conclusive and binding upon all future holders of the
same Note during such period. Such consent may be revoked at any time after six
months from the date of such instrument by the holder who gave such consent or by a
successor in title by filing notice of such revocation with the City Clerk.
The fact and date of the execution of any instrument under the provisions of this Sec-
tion may be proved by the certificate of any officer in any jurisdiction who by the laws
thereof is authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds within such jurisdiction that the
person signing such instrument acknowledged before him the execution thereof, or may
be proved by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before such officer.
The amount and numbers of the Notes held by any person executing such instrument
and the date of his holding the same may be proved by an affidavit by such person or
by a certificate executed by an officer of a bank or trust company showing that on the
date therein mentioned such person had on deposit with such bank or trust company
the Notes described in such certificate.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the holder or holders of
100% of the Notes and Parity Obligations may consent to any amendment of this Reso-
lution, or waive any notices required hereunder, on such terms and under such condi-
38
tions as said holders shall determine to be appropriate.
Section 29. Severability. If any section, paragraph, or provision of this Resolution
shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforcea-
bility of such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provi-
sions.
Section 30. Repeal of Conflicting Ordinances or Resolutions and Effective Date. All
other Ordinances, Resolutions and orders, or parts thereof, in conflict with the provi-
sions of this Resolution are, to the extent of such conflict, hereby repealed; and this
Resolution shall be in effect from and after its adoption.
Section 31. Rule of Construction. This Resolution and the terms and conditions of the
Notes authorized hereby shall be construed whenever possible so as not to conflict with
the terms and conditions of the Loan and Disbursement Agreement. In the event such
construction is not possible, or in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the
terms hereof and those of the Loan and Disbursement Agreement, the terms of the
Loan and Disbursement Agreement shall prevail and be given effect to the extent nec-
essary to resolve any such conflict or inconsistency.
