redemption dates as the City may determine. In addition, on or prior to the 60th day preceding
any mandatory redemption date, the Bond Registrar may, and if directed by the Council shall,
purchase Bonds required to be retired on such mandatory redemption date. Any such Bonds so
purchased shall be cancelled and the principal amount thereof shall be credited against the
mandatory redemption required on such next mandatory redemption date.
The Bond Registrar shall promptly notify the City in writing of the Bonds or portions of
Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption, the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
(c) Redemption Procedure. The City shall, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date
(unless a shorter time period shall be satisfactory to the Bond Registrar), notify the Bond
Registrar of such redemption date and of the principal amount and maturities of Bonds to be
redeemed. For purposes of any redemption of less than all of the Bonds of a single maturity, the
particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by lot not more; than
60 days prior to the redemption date by the Bond Registrar for the Bonds of such series and
maturity by such method of lottery as the Bond Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate;
provided, that such lottery shall provide for the selection for redemption of Bonds or portions
-7-
thereof so that any $5,000 Bond or $5,000 portion of a Bond shall be as likely to be called for
redemption as any other such $5,000 Bond or $5,000 portion.
The Bond Registrar shall promptly notify the City and the Paying Agent in writing of the
Bonds or portions of Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bond selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
Unless waived by the registered owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of any
such redemption shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of the City by mailing the
redemption notice by first-class mail not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption to each registered owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the
address shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such
registered owner to the Bond Registrar.
All official notices of redemption shall include the name of the Bonds and at least the
information as follows:
(1) the redemption date;
(2) the redemption price;
(3) if less than all of the Bonds of a single maturity are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any Bonds, the respective
principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed;
(4) a statement that on the redemption date the redemption price will become
due and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption and that
interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date; and
(5) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the
redemption price, which place of payment shall be the principal corporate trust business
office of the Paying Agent.
Prior to any redemption date, the City shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of
money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to
be redeemed on that date.
Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of
Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the
redemption price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the City shall default in
the payment of the redemption price), such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear
interest. Neither the failure to mail such redemption notice, nor any defect in any notice so
mailed, to any particular registered owner, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect
to other Bonds. Notice having been properly given, failure of a registered owner to receive such
notice shall not be deemed to invalidate, limit or delay the effect of the notice or redemption
action described in the notice. Such notice may be waived in writing by the registered owner
In
entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by registered owners shall be filed with the Bond
Registrar, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.
Upon surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bonds
shall be paid by the Paying Agent at the redemption price. The procedure for payment of interest
due on or prior to the redemption date shall be as herein provided for payment of interest
otherwise due. Upon surrender for any partial redemption of any Bond, there shall be prepared
for the registered owner a new Bond or Bonds of like tenor, of authorized denominations, of the
same maturity and bearing the same rate of interest in the amount of the unpaid principal. if any
Bond or portion of Bond called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the redemption
date at the rate borne by the Bond or portion of Bond so called for redemption. All Bonds which
have been redeemed shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Bond Registrar and shall not be
reissued.
Section 6. Execution; Authentication. The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the
City with the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor and attested with the manual or
facsimile signature of the City Clerk, as they may determine, and shall have impressed or
imprinted thereon the corporate seal or facsimile thereof of the City. In case any officer whose
signature shall appear on any Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such
Bond, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if
such officer had remained in office until delivery.
All Bonds shall have thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
hereinafter set forth duly executed by the Bond Registrar as authenticating agent of the City and
showing the date of authentication. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be
entitled to any security or benefit under this Ordinance unless and until such certificate of
authentication shall have been duly executed by the Bond Registrar by manual signature:, and
such certificate of authentication upon any such Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such
Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Ordinance. The certificate of
authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by it if signed by an
authorized officer of the Bond Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer sign
the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds issued hereunder.
Section 7. Registration of Bonds; Persons Treated as Owners; Global Book -Entry
System. (a) General. The City shall cause books (the "Bond Register") for the registration and
for the transfer of the Bonds as provided in this Ordinance to be kept at the principal corporate
trust office of the Bond Registrar, which is hereby constituted and appointed the registrar of the
City. The City is authorized to prepare, and the Bond Registrar shall keep custody of, multiple
Bond blanks executed by the City for use in the transfer and exchange of Bonds.
Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the principal corporate trust office of the Bond
Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar and duly executed by, the registered owner or his attorney
la
duly authorized in writing, the City shall execute and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate, date
and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new fully registered Bond or Bonds of
the same maturity of authorized denominations, for a like aggregate principal amount. Any fully
registered Bond or Bonds may be exchanged at said principal corporate trust office of the ]Bond
Registrar for a like aggregate principal amount of Bond or Bonds of the same maturity of other
authorized denominations. The execution by the City of any fully registered Bond shall
constitute full and due authorization of such Bond and the Bond Registrar shall thereby be
authorized to authenticate, date and deliver such Bond, provided, however, the principal amount
of outstanding Bonds of each maturity authenticated by the Bond Registrar shall not exceed the
authorized principal amount of Bonds for such maturity less previous retirements.
The Bond Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Bond during the
period beginning at the close of business on the 1 st day of the month of the interest payment date
on such Bond and ending at the opening of business on such interest payment date nor to transfer
or exchange any Bond after notice calling such Bond for redemption has been mailed, nor during
a period of fifteen days next preceding mailing of a notice of redemption of any Bonds.
The person in whose name any Bond shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as
the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of the principal of or interest on any
Bond 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
liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the City or the
Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Bonds except in the
case of the issuance of a Bond or Bonds for the unredeemed portion of a Bond surrendered for
redemption.
(b) Global Book -Entry System. The Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a
separate single fully registered Bond for each of the maturities of the Bonds as provided in
Section 4 hereof, and the ownership of each such Bond shall be registered in the Bond Register
in the name of Cede & Co., or any successor thereto ( "Cede "), as nominee of The Depository
Trust Company, New York, New York, and its successors and assigns ("DTC"). All of the
outstanding Bonds shall be registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede, as nominee of
DTC, except as hereinafter provided. The Mayor, the Treasurer and City Clerk are hereby
authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the City such letters to or agreements with DTC
and the Bond Registrar as shall be necessary to effectuate such book -entry system (any such letter
or agreement being referred to herein as the "Representation Letter ").
With respect to the Bonds registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede, as
nominee of DTC, the City and the Bond Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to
any broker -dealer, bank or other financial institution for which DTC holds Bonds from time to
time as securities depository (each such broker -dealer, bank or other financial institution being
referred to herein as a "DTC Participant") or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC
Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence,
-10-
the City and the Bond Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the
accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a
registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of any notice with respect to the
Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any
other person, other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of any
amount with respect to principal of or interest on the Bonds. The City and the Bond Registrar
may treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the Bond Register as
the holder and absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal and interest
with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with
respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for
all other purposes whatsoever. The Bond Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on the
Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective registered owners of the Bonds, as shown in the
Bond Register, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments
shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to
payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No
person other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, shall receive a
Bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of principal and interest
with respect to any Bond. Upon delivery by DTC to the Bond Registrar of written notice to the
effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede, the name "Cede"
in this Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
In the event that (i) the City determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its
responsibilities described herein and in the Representation Letter, (ii) the agreement among the
City, the Bond Registrar and DTC evidenced by the Representation Letter shall be terminated for
any reason or (iii) the City determines that it is in the best interests of the beneficial owners of the
Bonds that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds, the City shall notify DTC and DTC

Bonds and shall be not less than one -sixth (1/6) of the interest becoming due on the succeeding
interest payment date and not less than one -twelfth (1/12) of the principal becoming due on the
next succeeding principal payment date on all Bonds outstanding until there is sufficient money
in said Account to pay such principal or interest, or both.
Credits to the Pledged Revenues Account need not be made at such time as there shall be
a sufficient sum, held in cash and investments, in said Account to meet principal and interest
requirements in said Account on the next two (2) succeeding debt service payment dates on the
Bonds outstanding.

expenses incurred in the issuance of the Bonds which shall be deposited into an "Expense
Fund" to be maintained by the City Treasurer and disbursed for such issuance expenses
from time to time in accordance with usual City procedures for the disbursement of funds,
which disbursements are hereby expressly authorized. Moneys not disbursed from the
Expense Fund within six months shall be transferred by the City for deposit in the
hereinafter described Project Fund, and any deficiencies in the Expense Fund shall be
paid by disbursement from the Project Fund.

it will not take any action, omit to take any action or permit the taking or omission of any action

entitlements to any portion of the Project that is available for use by the general public or
that conveys to any person other than a state or local governmental unit any special
economic benefit with respect to any portion of the Project that is not available for use by
the general public.

obligation's purchase price (or in the case of the Bonds, the issue price as established in
paragraph 5.1 hereof), including accrued interest.
"Yield Reduction Payment" means a rebate payment or any other amount paid to
the United States in the same manner as rebate amounts are required to be paid or at such

2.1. Purpose of the Bonds. The Bonds are being issued to finance the Project in
a prudent manner consistent with the revenue needs of the City. A breakdown of the
sources and uses of funds is set forth in the preceding Section of this Ordinance. Except
for any accrued interest on the Bonds used to pay first interest due on the Bonds, no
proceeds of the Bonds will be used more than 30 days after the date of issue of the Bonds
for the purpose of paying any principal or interest on any issue of bonds, notes,
certificates or warrants or on any installment contract or other obligation of the City or for
the purpose of replacing any funds of the City used for such purpose.
2.2. The Project —Binding Commitment and Timing. The City has incunred or
will, within six months of the Closing, incur a substantial binding obligation (not subject
to contingencies within the control of the City or any member of the same Controlled
Group as the City) to a third party to expend at least five percent of the Net Sale Proceeds
on the Project. It is expected that the work of acquiring and constructing the Project and
the expenditure of amounts deposited into the Project Fund will continue to proceed with
due diligence through June 15, 2010, at which time it is anticipated that all Sale Proceeds
and investment earnings thereon will have been spent.
-26-
2.3. Reimbursement. None of the Sale Proceeds or investment earnings thereon
will be used for Reimbursed Expenditures.
2.4. Working Capital. All Sale Proceeds and investment earnings thereon will be
used, directly or indirectly, to finance Capital Expenditures other than the following:
(a) an amount not to exceed five percent of the Sale Proceeds for working
capital expenditures directly related to Capital Expenditures financed by the
Bonds;
(b) payments of interest on the Bonds for a period commencing at
Closing and ending on the later of the date three years after Closing or one year
after the date on which the Project is Placed -in -Service;
(c) Costs of Issuance and Qualified Administrative Costs of Investments;
(d) payments of rebate or Yield Reduction Payments made to the United
States under the Regulations;
(e) principal of or interest on the Bonds paid from unexpected excess
Sale Proceeds and investment earnings thereon;
(f) fees for the Credit Facility; and
(g) investment earnings that are commingled with substantial other
revenues and are expected to be allocated to expenditures within six months.
2.5. Consequences of Contrary Expenditure. The City acknowledges that if Sale
Proceeds and investment earnings thereon are spent for non -Capital Expenditures other
than as permitted by paragraph 2.4 hereof, a like amount of then available funds of the
City will be treated as unspent Sale Proceeds.
2.6. Investment of Bond Proceeds. Not more than 50% of the Sale Proceeds and
investment earnings thereon are or will be invested in investments (other than Qualified
Tax Exempt Obligations) having a Yield that is substantially guaranteed for four years or
more. No portion of the Bonds is being issued solely for the purpose of investing a
portion of Sale Proceeds or investment earnings thereon at a Yield higher than the Yield
on the Bonds.
It is expected that the Sale Proceeds deposited into the Project Fund, including
investment earnings on the Project Fund, will be spent to pay costs of the Project and
interest on the Bonds not later than the date set forth in paragraph 2.2 hereof, the
investment earnings on the Bond Fund will be spent to pay interest on the Bonds, or to
the extent permitted by law, investment earnings on amounts in the Project Fund and the
Bond Fund will be commingled with substantial revenues from the governmental
operations of the City, and the earnings are reasonably expected to be spent for
-27-
governmental purposes within six months of the date earned. Interest earnings on the
Project Fund and the Bond Fund have not been earmarked or restricted by the Council for
a designated purpose.
2.7. No Grants. None of the Sale Proceeds or investment earnings thereon will
be used to make grants to any person.
2.8. Hedges. Neither the City nor any member of the same Controlled Group as
the City has entered into or expects to enter into any hedge (e.g., an interest rate swap,
interest rate cap, futures contract, forward contract or an option) with respect to the
Bonds. The City acknowledges that any such hedge could affect, among other things, the
calculation of Bond Yield under the Regulations. The Internal Revenue Service could
recalculate Bond Yield if the failure to account for the hedge fails to clearly reflect the
economic substance of the transaction.
The City also acknowledges that if it acquires a hedging contract with an
investment element (including e.g. an off -market swap agreement, or any cap agreement
for which all or a portion of the premium is paid at, or before the effective date of the cap
agreement), then a portion of such hedging contract may be treated as an investment of
Gross Proceeds of the Bonds, and be subject to the fair market purchase price rules,
rebate and yield restriction. The City agrees not to use proceeds of the Bonds to pay for
any such hedging contract in whole or in part. The City also agrees that it will not give
any assurances to any Bond holder, the Credit Facility Provider, or any credit or liquidity
enhancer with respect to the Bonds that any such hedging contract will be entered into or
maintained. The City recognizes that if a portion of a hedging contract is determined to
be an investment of gross proceeds, such portion may not be fairly priced even if the
hedging contract as a whole is fairly priced.
2.9. Internal Revenue Service Audits. The City represents that the Internal
Revenue Service has not contacted the City regarding any obligations issued by or on
behalf of the City. To the best of the knowledge of the City, no such obligations of the
City are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
3.1. Use of Proceeds. (a) The use of the Sale Proceeds and investment earnings
thereon and the funds held under this Ordinance at the time of Closing are described in
the preceding Section of this Ordinance. No Sale Proceeds will be used to pre -pay for
goods or services to be received over a period of years prior to the date such goods or
services are to be received, except for any payment to the Credit Facility Provider. No
Sale Proceeds or any investment earnings thereon will be used to pay for or otherwise
acquire goods or services from an Affiliated Person.
(b) Only the funds and accounts described in said Section will be funded at
Closing. There are no other funds or accounts created under this Ordinance, other than
the Rebate Fund if it is created as provided in paragraph 4.2 hereof.
(c) Principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid from the Bond Fund.
(d) Any Costs of Issuance incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds
to be paid by the City will be paid at the time of Closing.
(e) The costs of the Project will be paid from the Project Fund and no other
moneys (except for investment earnings on amounts in the Project Fund) are expected to
be deposited therein.
3.2. Purpose of Bond Fund. The Bond Fund will be used primarily to achieve a
proper matching of revenues and earnings with principal and interest payments on the
Bonds in each bond year. It is expected that the Bond Fund will be depleted at least once
a year, except for a reasonable carry over amount not to exceed the greater of (a) the
earnings on the investment of moneys in the Bond Fund for the immediately preceding
bond year or (b) 1/12th of the principal and interest payments on the Bonds for the
immediately preceding bond year.
3.3. No Other Gross Proceeds. (a) Except for the Bond Fund and the Project
Fund, and except for investment earnings that have been commingled as described in
paragraph 2.6 and any credit enhancement or liquidity device related to the Bonds, after
the issuance of the Bonds, neither the City nor any member of the same Controlled Group
as the City has or will have any property, including cash, securities or will have any
property, including cash, securities or any other property held as a passive vehicle for the
production of income or for investment purposes, that constitutes:
(i) Sale Proceeds;
(ii) amounts in any fund or account with respect to the Bonds (other than
the Rebate Fund);
(iii) amounts that have a sufficiently direct nexus to the Bonds or to the
governmental purpose of the Bonds to conclude that the amounts would have been
used for that governmental purpose if the Bonds were not used or to be used for
that governmental purpose (the mere availability or preliminary earmarking of
such amounts for a governmental purpose, however, does not itself establish such
a sufficient nexus);
(iv) amounts in a debt service fund, redemption fund, reserve fund,
replacement fund or any similar fund to the extent reasonably expected to be: used
directly or indirectly to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds or any amounts
for which there is provided, directly or indirectly, a reasonable assurance that the
amount will be available to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds or any
obligations under any credit enhancement or liquidity device with respect to the
Bonds, even if the City encounters financial difficulties;
(v) any amounts held pursuant to any agreement (such as an agreement to
maintain certain levels of types of assets) made for the benefit of the Bondholders
or any credit enhancement provider, including any liquidity device or negative
-29-
pledge (e.g., any amount pledged to pay principal of or interest on an issue held
under an agreement to maintain the amount at a particular level for the direct or
indirect benefit of holders of the Bonds or a guarantor of the Bonds); or
(vi) amounts actually or constructively received from the investment and
reinvestment of the amounts described in (i) or (ii) above.
(b) No compensating balance, liquidity account, negative pledge of property
held for investment purposes required to be maintained at least at a particular level or
similar arrangement exists with respect to, in any way, the Bonds or any credit
enhancement or liquidity device related to the Bonds.
(c) The term of the Bonds is not longer than is reasonably necessary for the
governmental purposes of the Bonds. The average reasonably expected economic life of
the Project is at least 20 years. The weighted average maturity of the Bonds doers not
exceed 13 years and does not exceed 120 percent of the average reasonably expected
economic life of the Project. The maturity schedule of the Bonds (the "Principal
Payment Schedule") is based on an analysis of revenues expected to be available to pay
debt service on the Bonds. The Principal Payment Schedule is not more rapid (i.e.,
having a lower average maturity) because a more rapid schedule would place an undue
burden on tax rates and cause such rates to be increased beyond prudent levels, and would
be inconsistent with the governmental purpose of the Bonds as set forth in paragraph 2.1
hereof.
4.1. Compliance with Rebate Provisions. The City covenants to take such
actions and make, or cause to be made, all calculations, transfers and payments that may
be necessary to comply with the Rebate Provisions applicable to the Bonds. The City will
make, or cause to be made, rebate payments with respect to the Bonds in accordance with
law.
4.2. Rebate Fund. The City is hereby authorized to create and establish a special
fund to be known as the Rebate Fund (the "Rebate Fund"), which, if created, shall be
continuously held, invested, expended and accounted for in accordance with this
Ordinance. Moneys in the Rebate Fund shall not be considered moneys held for the
benefit of the owners of the Bonds. Except as provided in the Regulations, moneys in the
Rebate Fund (including earnings and deposits therein) shall be held in trust for payment
to the United States as required by the Rebate Provisions and by the Regulations and as
contemplated under the provisions of this Ordinance.
4.3. Records. The City agrees to keep and retain or cause to be kept and retained
until six years (three years for the records required by paragraph 4.4(c) hereof) after the
Bonds are paid in full adequate records with respect to the investment of all Gross
Proceeds and amounts in the Rebate Fund. Such records shall include: (a) purchase
price; (b) purchase date; (c) type of investment; (d) accrued interest paid; (e) interest rate;
(f) principal amount; (g) maturity date; (h) interest payment date; (i) date of liquidation;
and 0) receipt upon liquidation.
-30-
If any investment becomes Gross Proceeds on a date other than the date such
investment is purchased, the records required to be kept shall include the fair rnarket
value of such investment on the date it becomes Gross Proceeds. If any investment is
retained after the date the last Bond is retired, the records required to be kept shall include
the fair market value of such investment on the date the last Bond is retired. Amounts or
investments will be segregated whenever necessary to maintain these records.
4.4. Fair Market Value; Certificates of Deposit and Investment Agreements. The
City will continuously invest all amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund, together with the
amounts, if any, to be transferred to the Rebate Fund, in any investment permitted under
this Ordinance. In making investments of Gross Proceeds or of amounts in the Rebate
Fund the City shall take into account prudent investment standards and the date on which
such moneys may be needed. Except as provided in the next sentence, all amounts that
constitute Gross Proceeds and all amounts in the Rebate Fund shall be invested at all
times to the greatest extent practicable, and no amounts may be held as cash or be
invested in zero yield investments other than obligations of the United States purchased
directly from the United States. In the event moneys cannot be invested, other than as
provided in this sentence due to the denomination, price or availability of investments,
the amounts shall be invested in an interest bearing deposit of a bank with a yield not less
than that paid to the general public or held uninvested to the minimum extent necessary.
Gross Proceeds and any amounts in the Rebate Fund that are invested in
certificates of deposit or in GICs shall be invested only in accordance with the following
provisions:
(a) Investments in certificates of deposit of banks or savings and loan
associations that have a fixed interest rate, fixed payment schedules and
substantial penalties for early withdrawal shall be made only if either (i) the Yield
on the certificate of deposit (A) is not less than the Yield on reasonably
comparable direct obligations of the United States and (B) is not less than the
highest Yield that is published or posted by the provider to be currently available
from the provider on reasonably comparable certificates of deposit offered to the
public or (ii) the investment is an investment in a GIC and qualifies under
paragraph (b) below.
(b) Investments in GICs shall be made only if
(i) the bid specifications are in writing, include all material terms
of the bid and are timely forwarded to potential providers (a term is
material if it may directly or indirectly affect the yield on the GIC);
(ii) the terms of the bid specifications are commercially reasonable
(a term is commercially reasonable if there is a legitimate business purpose
for the term other than to reduce the yield on the GIC);
-31-
(iii) all bidders for the GIC have equal opportunity to bid so that,
for example, no bidder is given the opportunity to review others bids (a
last look) before bidding;
(iv) any agent used to conduct the bidding for the GIC does not bid
to provide the GIC;
(v) at least three of the providers solicited for bids for the GIC are
reasonably competitive providers of investments of the type purchased
(i.e., providers that have established industry reputations as competitive
providers of the type of investments being purchased);
(vi) at least three of the entities that submit a bid do not have a
financial interest in the Bonds;
(vii) at least one of the entities that provided a bid is a reasonably
competitive provider that does not have a financial interest in the Bonds;
(viii) the bid specifications include a statement notifying potential
providers that submission of a bid is a representation that the potential
provider did not consult with any other provider about its bid, that the bid
was determined without regard to any other formal or informal agreement
that the potential provider has with the City or any other person (whether
or not in connection with the Bonds) and that the bid is not being
submitted solely as a courtesy to the City or any other person for purposes
of satisfying the federal income tax requirements relating to the bidding
for the GIC;
(ix) the determination of the terms of the GIC takes into account the
reasonably expected deposit and drawdown schedule for the amounts to be
invested;
(x) the highest -yielding GIC for which a qualifying bid is made
(determined net of broker's fees) is in fact purchased; and
(xi) the obligor on the GIC certifies the administrative costs that it
is paying or expects to pay to third parties in connection with the GIC.
(c) If a GIC is purchased, the City will retain the following records with
its bond documents until three years after the Bonds are redeemed in their
entirety:
(i) a copy of the GIC;
-32-
(ii) the receipt or other record of the amount actually paid for the
GIC, including a record of any administrative costs paid, and the
certification under subparagraph (b)(m) of this paragraph;
(ill) for each bid that is submitted, the name of the person and entity
submitting the bid, the time and date of the bid, and the bid results; and
(iv) the bid solicitation form and, if the terms of the GIC deviated
from the bid solicitation form or a submitted bid is modified, a brief
statement explaining the deviation and stating the purpose for the
deviation.
Moneys to be rebated to the United States shall be invested to mature on or prior
to the anticipated rebate payment date. All investments made with Gross Proceeds or
amounts in the Rebate Fund shall be bought and sold at fair market value. The fair
market value of an investment is the price at which a willing buyer would purchase the
investment from a willing seller in a bona fide, arm's length transaction. Except for
investments specifically described in this Section and United States Treasury obligations
that are purchased directly from the United States Treasury, only investments that are
traded on an established securities market, within the meaning of regulations promulgated
under Section 1273 of the Code, will be purchased with Gross Proceeds. In general, an
"established securities market" includes: (i) property that is listed on a national securities
exchange, an interdealer quotation system or certain foreign exchanges; (ii) property that
is traded on a Commodities Futures Trading Commission designated board of trade or an
interbank market; (Ili) property that appears on a quotation medium; and (iv) property for
which price quotations are readily available from dealers and brokers. A debt instrument
is not treated as traded on an established market solely because it is convertible; into
property which is so traded.
An investment of Gross Proceeds in an External Commingled Fund shall be made
only to the extent that such investment is made without an intent to reduce the amount to
be rebated to the United States Government or to create a smaller profit or a larger loss
than would have resulted if the transaction had been at arm's length and had the rebate or
Yield restriction requirements not been relevant to the City. An investment of Gross
Proceeds shall be made in a Commingled Fund other than an External Commingled Fund
only if the investments made by such Commingled Fund satisfy the provisions of this
paragraph.
A single investment, or multiple investments awarded to a provider based on a
single bid may not be used for funds subject to different rules relating to rebate or' yield
restriction.
The foregoing provisions of this paragraph satisfy various safe harbors set forth in
the Regulations relating to the valuation of certain types of investments. The safe harbor
provisions of this paragraph are contained herein for the protection of the City, who has
covenanted not to take any action to adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the interest
-33-
on the Bonds. The City will contact Bond Counsel if it does not wish to comply with the
provisions of this paragraph and forego the protection provided by the safe harbors
provided herein.
4.5. Arbitrage Elections. The Mayor, Clerk and Treasurer of the City are hereby
authorized to execute one or more elections regarding certain matters with respect to
arbitrage.
4.6. Small Issuer Exception. The City is a governmental unit that has the power
to impose a tax or to cause another entity to impose a tax of general applicability that,
when collected, may be used for the governmental purposes of the City. The power to
impose such tax is not contingent on approval by another governmental unit; a tax of
general applicability is one that is not limited to a small number of persons. The City is
not subject to Control by any other governmental unit or political subdivision. None of
the Bonds is or will be a "private activity bond" (as defined in Section 141 of the Code).
Ninety-five percent or more of the Sale Proceeds will be used for local governmental
activities of the City. None of the City, any entity that issues tax-exempt bonds on behalf
of the City or any entity subject to Control by the City will issue, during the calendar year
2007, any tax-exempt bonds (other than current refunding bonds to the extent of the
aggregate face amount of the tax-exempt bonds currently refunded thereby) in an
aggregate face amount in excess of the maximum aggregate face amount (as hereinafter
defined). As used herein, (a) "tax-exempt bonds " means obligations of any kind, the
interest on which is excludable from gross income of the holders or owners thereof for
federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 103 of the Code but not including
(i) "private activity bonds" (as defined in Section 141 of the Code) or (ii) obligations
issued to refund another obligation if it is issued not more than 90 days before the
redemption of the refunded obligation to the extent the amount of the refunding
obligation does not exceed the outstanding amount of the refunded obligation,
(b) "aggregate face amount" means, if an issue has more than a De minimis Amount of
Original Issue Discount or Premium, the issue price of the issue and otherwise means the
face amount of the issue and (c) "maximum aggregate face amount" means $5,000,000.
As of the date hereof, no tax-exempt bonds or other obligations (other than the Bonds)
have been issued by the City, any entity that issues tax-exempt bonds on behalf of the
City or any entity subject to Control by the City during the calendar year 2007. The: City
does not reasonably expect that it, any entity that issues tax-exempt bonds on behalf of
the City or any entity subject to Control by the City (including but not limited to the City)
will issue any such tax-exempt bonds or other obligations within calendar year '2007.
Therefore, subject to compliance with all the terms and provisions hereof, the City is
excepted from the required rebate of arbitrage profits on the Bonds under
Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code and from the terms and provisions of this Ordinance
that need only be complied with if the City is subject to the arbitrage rebate requirement.
5.1. Issue Price. For purposes of determining the Yield on the Bonds, the
purchase price of the Bonds is equal to the first offering price (including accrued interest)
at which the Purchaser sold at least ten percent of the principal amount of each maturity
of the Bonds to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers or similar persons or
-34-
organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers).
All of the Bonds have been the subject of a bona fide initial offering to the public
(excluding bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the
capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers) at prices equal to those set
forth in the Official Statement. Based upon prevailing market conditions, such prices are
not less than the fair market value of each Bond as of the sale date for the Bonds.
5.2. Yield Limits. Except as provided in paragraph (a) or (b), all Gross Proceeds
shall be invested at market prices and at a Yield (after taking into account any Yield
Reduction Payments) not in excess of the Yield on the Bonds plus, if only for amounts in
the Project Fund are subject to this yield limitation, 1/8th of one percent.
The following may be invested without Yield restriction:
(a)(i) amounts on deposit in the Bond Fund (except for capitalized interest)
that have not been on deposit under the Ordinance for more than 13 months, so
long as the Bond Fund continues to qualify as a bona fide debt service fluid as
described in paragraph 3.2 hereof,
(ii) amounts on deposit in the Project Fund that are reasonably expected
to pay for the costs of the Project, costs of issuance of the Bonds, or interest on the
Bonds during the three year period beginning on the date of issue of the Bonds
prior to three years after Closing;
(iii) amounts in the Bond Fund to be used to pay capitalized interest on the
Bonds prior to the earlier of three years after Closing or the payment of all
capitalized interest;
(b)(i) An amount not to exceed the lesser of $100,000 or five percent of the
Sale Proceeds;
(ii) amounts invested in Qualified Tax Exempt Obligations (to the extent
permitted by law and this Ordinance);
(Ili) amounts in the Rebate Fund;
(iv) all amounts other than Sale Proceeds for the first 30 days after they
become Gross Proceeds; and
(v) all amounts derived from the investment of Sale Proceeds or
investment earnings thereon for a period of one year from the date received.
5.3. Continuing Nature of Yield Limits. Except as provided in paragraph 7.9
hereof, once moneys are subject to the Yield limits of paragraph 5.2 hereof, such moneys
remain Yield restricted until they cease to be Gross Proceeds.
-35-
5.4. Federal Guarantees. Except for investments meeting the requirements of
paragraph 5.2(a) hereof, investments of Gross Proceeds shall not be made in
(a) investments constituting obligations of or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the
United States (except obligations of the United States Treasury, or investments in
obligations issued pursuant to Section 21B(d)(3) of the Federal Home Loan Bank, as
amended (e.g., Refcorp Strips)); or (b) federally insured deposits or accounts (as defined
in Section 149(b)(4)(B) of the Code). Except as otherwise permitted in the immediately
prior sentence and in the Regulations, no portion of the payment of principal or interest
on the Bonds or any credit enhancement or liquidity device relating to the foregoing is or
will be guaranteed, directly or indirectly (in whole or in part), by the United States (or any
agency or instrumentality thereof), including a lease, incentive payment, research or
output contract or any similar arrangement, agreement or understanding with the United
States or any agency or instrumentality thereof. No portion of the Gross Proceeds has
been or will be used to make loans the payment of principal or interest with respect to
which is or will be guaranteed (in whole or in part) by the United States (or any agency or
instrumentality thereof). Neither this paragraph nor paragraph 5.5 hereof applies to any
guarantee by the Federal Housing Administration, the Federal National Mortgage
Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Government National
Mortgage Association, the Student Loan Marketing Association or the Bonneville Power
Administration pursuant to the Northwest Power Act (16 U.S.C. 839d) as in effect on the
date of enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1984.
5.5. Investments After the Expiration of Temporary Periods, Etc. After the
expiration of the temporary period set forth in paragraph 5.2(a)(ii) hereof, amounts -in the
Project Fund may not be invested in (i) federally insured deposits or accounts (as defined
in Section 149(b)(4)(B) of the Code) or (ii) investments constituting obligations of or
guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the United States (except obligations of the United
States Treasury or investments in obligations issued pursuant to Section 21B(d)(3) of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Act, as amended (e.g., Refcorp Strips). Any other amounts that
are subject to the yield limitation in paragraph 5.2 hereof because paragraph 5.2(a) hereof
is not applicable and amounts not subject to yield restriction only because they are
described in paragraph 5.2(b) hereof, are also subject to the limitation set forth iin the
preceding sentence.
5.6. Treatment of Certain Credit Facility Fees. The fee paid to the Credit
Facility Provider with respect to the Credit Facility may be treated as interest in
computing Bond Yield. Neither the City nor any member of the same Controlled Group
as the City is a Related Person as defined in Section 144(a)(3) of the Code to the Credit
Facility Provider. The fee paid to the Credit Facility Provider does not exceed ten percent
of the Sale Proceeds. Other than the fee paid to the Credit Facility Provider, neither the
Credit Facility Provider nor any person who is a Related Person to the Credit Facility
Provider within the meaning of Section 144(a)(3) of the Code will use any Sale Proceeds
or investment earnings thereon. The fee paid for the Credit Facility does not exceed a
reasonable, arm's length charge for the transfer of credit risk. The fee does not include
any payment for any direct or indirect services other than the transfer of credit risk.

6.1. Payment and Use Tests. (a) No more than five percent of the Sale Proceeds
plus investment earnings thereon will be used, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part,
in any Private Business Use. The City acknowledges that, for purposes of the preceding
sentence, Gross Proceeds used to pay costs of issuance and other common costs (such as
capitalized interest and fees paid for a qualified guarantee or qualified hedge) or invested
in a reserve or replacement fund must be ratably allocated among all the purposes for
which Gross Proceeds are being used.
(b) The payment of more than five percent of the principal of or the interest on
the Bonds will not be, directly or indirectly (i) secured by any interest in (A) property
used or to be used in any Private Business Use or (B) payments in respect of such
property or (ii) on a present value basis, derived from payments (whether or not to the
City or a member of the same Controlled Group as the City) in respect of property, or
borrowed money, used or to be used in any Private Business Use.
(c) No more than the lesser of five percent of the sum of the Sale Proceeds and
investment earnings thereon or $5,000,000 will be used, directly or indirectly, to make or
finance loans to any persons. The City acknowledges that, for purposes of the preceding
sentence, Gross Proceeds used to pay costs of issuance and other common costs (such as
capitalized interest and fees paid for a qualified guarantee or qualified hedge) or invested
in a reserve or replacement fund must be ratably allocated among all the purposes for
which Gross Proceeds are being used.
(d) No user of the Project other than a state or local governmental unit will use
more than five percent of the Project, in the aggregate, on any basis other than the same
basis as the general public.
6.2. I.R.S. Form 8038-G. The information contained in the Information Return
for Tax -Exempt Governmental Obligations, Form 8038-G, is true and complete. The
City will file Form 8038-G (and all other required information reporting forms) in a
timely manner.
6.3. Bank Qualification. (a) The City hereby designates each of the Bonds as a
"qualified tax-exempt obligation" for the purposes and within the meaning of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In support of such designation, the City hereby certifies
that (i) none of the Bonds will be at anytime a "private activity bond" (as defined in
Section 141 of the Code) other than a "qualified 501(c)(3) bond" (as defined in
Section 145 of the Code), (ii) as of the date hereof in calendar year 2007, the City has not
issued any tax-exempt obligations of any kind other than the Bonds nor have any tax-
exempt obligations of any kind been issued on behalf of the City and (Ili) not more than
$10,000,000 of obligations of any kind (including the Bonds) issued by or on behalf of
the City during calendar year 2007 will be designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3)
of the Code.
(b) The City is not subject to Control by any entity, and there are no entities
subject to Control by the City.
-37-
(c) On the date hereof, the City does not reasonably anticipate that for calendar
year 2007 it will issue any Section 265 Tax -Exempt Obligations (other than the Bonds),
or that any Section 265 Tax -Exempt Obligations will be issued on behalf of it.
"Section 265 Tax -Exempt Obligations" are obligations the interest on which is
excludable from gross income of the owners thereof under Section 103 of the Code,
except for private activity bonds other than qualified 501(c)(3) bonds, both as defined in
Section 141 of the Code. The City will not issue or permit the issuance on behalf of it or
by any entity subject to Control by the City (which may hereafter come into existence) of
Section 265 Tax -Exempt Obligations (including the Bonds) that exceed the aggregate
amount of $10,000,000 during calendar year 2007 unless it first obtains an opinion of
Bond Counsel to the effect that such issuance will not adversely affect the treatment of
the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for the purposes and within the meaning
of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
7.1. Termination; Interest of City in Rebate Fund. The terms and provisions set
forth in this Section shall terminate at the later of (a) 75 days after the Bonds have been
fully paid and retired or (b) the date on which all amounts remaining on deposit in the
Rebate Fund, if any, shall have been paid to or upon the order of the United States and
any other payments required to satisfy the Rebate Provisions of the Code have been rnade
to the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of paragraph 4.3
hereof shall not terminate until the sixth anniversary of the date the Bonds are fully paid
and retired, and the provisions of paragraphs 4.4(c) and 7.9 hereof shall not terminate
until the third anniversary of the date the Bonds are fully paid and retired.
7.2. Separate Issue. Since a date that is 15 days prior to the date of sale of the
Bonds by the City to the Purchaser, neither the City nor any member of the same
Controlled Group as the City has sold or delivered any tax-exempt obligations other than
the Bonds that are reasonably expected to be paid out of substantially the same source of
funds as the Bonds. Neither the City nor any member of the same Controlled Group as
the City will sell or deliver within 15 days after the date of sale of the Bonds any tax-
exempt obligations other than the Bonds that are reasonably expected to be paid out of
substantially the same source of funds as the Bonds.
7.3. No Sale of the Project. (a) Other than as provided in the next sentence,
neither the Project nor any portion thereof has been, is expected to be, or will be sold or
otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, prior to the earlier of (i) the last date of the
reasonably expected economic life to the City of the property (determined on the date of
issuance of the Bonds) or (ii) the last maturity date of the Bonds. The City may dispose
of personal property in the ordinary course of an established government program prior to
the earlier of (i) the last date of the reasonably expected economic life to the City of the
property (determined on the date of issuance of the Bonds) or (ii) the last maturity of the
Bonds, provided: (A) the weighted average maturity of the Bonds financing the personal
property is not greater than 120 percent of the reasonably expected actual use of that
property for governmental purposes; (B) the City reasonably expects on the issue date that
the fair market value of that property on the date of disposition will be not greater than
25 percent of its cost; (C) the property is no longer suitable for its governmental purposes
on the date of disposition; and (D) the City deposits amounts received from the
disposition in a commingled fund with substantial tax or other governmental revenues
and the City reasonably expects to spend the amounts on governmental programs within
six months from the date of the commingling.
(b) The City acknowledges that if Bond -financed property is sold or otherwise
disposed of in a manner contrary to (a) above, such sale or disposition may constitute a
"deliberate action" within the meaning of the Regulations that may require remedial
actions to prevent the Bonds from becoming private activity bonds. The City shall
promptly contact Bond Counsel if a sale or other disposition of bond -financed property is
considered by the City.
7.4. Purchase of Bonds by City. The City will not purchase any of the Bonds
except to cancel such Bonds.
7.5. First Call Date Limitation. The period between the date of Closing and the
first call date of the Bonds is not more than 10-1/2 years.
7.6. Registered Form. The City recognizes that Section 149(a) of the Code
requires the Bonds to be issued and to remain in fully registered form in order that
interest thereon be exempt from federal income taxation under laws in force at the time
the Bonds are delivered. In this connection, the City agrees that it will not take any action
to permit the Bonds to be issued in, or converted into, bearer or coupon form.
7.7. First Amendment. The City acknowledges and agrees that it will not use, or
allow the Project to be used, in a manner which is prohibited by the Establishment of
Religion Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of
America or by any comparable provisions of the Constitution of the State of Illinois.
7.8. Future Events. The City acknowledges that any changes in facts or
expectations from those set forth herein may result in different Yield restrictions or rebate
requirements from those set forth herein. The City shall promptly contact Bond Counsel
if such changes do occur.
7.9. Record Retention. The City agrees to keep and retain or cause to be: kept
and retained sufficient records to support the continued exclusion of the interest paid on
the Bonds from federal income taxation and to show that all tax-exempt Bond related
returns submitted to the Internal Revenue Service are correct. Such records shall include,
but are not limited to, basic records relating to the Bond transaction (including this
Ordinance and Bond Counsel opinion); documentation evidencing the expenditure of
Bond proceeds; documentation evidencing the use of Bond -financed property by public
and private sources (i.e., copies of management contracts and research agreements);
documentation evidencing all sources of payment or security for the Bonds; and
documentation pertaining to any investment of Bond proceeds (including the purchase
and sale of securities, SLGs subscriptions, yield calculations for each class of
investments, actual investment income received from the investment of proceeds,
-39-
guaranteed investment contracts and rebate calculations). Such records shall be kept for
as long as the Bonds are outstanding, plus three (3) years after the later of the final
redemption date of the Bonds or the final redemption date of any obligations or series of
obligations issued to refund all or a portion of the Bonds.
7.10. Permitted Changes; Opinion of Bond Counsel. The Yield restrictions
contained in paragraph 5.2 hereof or any other restriction or covenant contained herein
need not be observed or may be changed if such nonobservance or change will not result
in the loss of any exemption for the purpose of federal income taxation to which interest
on the Bonds is otherwise entitled and the City receives an opinion of Bond Counsel to
such effect. Unless the City otherwise directs, such opinion shall be in such form and
contain such disclosures and disclaimers as may be required so that such opinion will not
be treated as a covered opinion or a state or local bond opinion for purposes of Treasury
Department regulations governing practice before the Internal Revenue Service
(Circular 230) 31 CFR Part 10.
7.11. Successors and Assigns. The terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of
this Section shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of
the Council and the City.
7.12. Expectations. The Council has reviewed the facts, estimates and
circumstances in existence on the date of issuance of the Bonds. Such facts, estimates
and circumstances, together with the expectations of the City as to future events, are set
forth in summary form in this Section. Such facts and estimates are true and are not
incomplete in any material respect. On the basis of the facts and estimates contained
herein, the City has adopted the expectations contained herein. On the basis of such facts,
estimates, circumstances and expectations, it is not expected that Sale Proceeds,
investment earnings thereon or any other moneys or property will be used in a manner
that will cause the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of the Rebate
Provisions and the Regulations. Such expectations are reasonable and there are no other
facts, estimates and circumstances that would materially change such expectations.
The City also agrees and covenants with the purchasers and holders of the Bonds from
time to time outstanding that, to the extent possible under Illinois law, it will comply with
whatever federal tax law is adopted in the future which applies to the Bonds and affects the tax-
exempt status of the Bonds.
The Council hereby authorizes the officials of the City responsible for issuing the Bonds,
the same being the Mayor, Clerk and Treasurer of the City, to make such further covenants and
certifications as may be necessary to assure that the use thereof will not cause the Bonds to be
arbitrage bonds and to assure that the interest on the Bonds will be exempt from federal income
taxation. In connection therewith, the City and the Council further agree: (a) through their
officers, to make such further specific covenants, representations as shall be truthful, and
assurances as may be necessary or advisable; (b) to consult with counsel approving the Bonds
and to comply with such advice as may be given; (c) to pay to the United States, as necessary,
such sums of money representing required rebates of excess arbitrage profits relating to the
-40-
Bonds; (d) to file such forms, statements, and supporting documents as may be required and in a
timely manner; and (e) if deemed necessary or advisable by their officers, to employ and pay
fiscal agents, financial advisors, attorneys, and other persons to assist the City in such
compliance.
Section 22. Bond Registrar Covenants. If requested by the Bond Registrar, the Mayor
and City Clerk are authorized to execute the Bond Registrar's standard form of agreement
between the City and the Bond Registrar with respect to the obligations and duties of the Bond
Registrar hereunder. Subject to modification by the express terms of any such agreement, such
duties shall include the following:
(a) to act as bond registrar, authenticating agent, paying agent and transfer agent
as provided herein;
(b) to maintain a list of Bondholders as set forth herein and to furnish such list
to the City upon request, but otherwise to keep such list confidential to the extent

(c) to give notice of redemption of Bonds as provided herein;
(d) to cancel and/or destroy Bonds which have been paid at maturity or upon
earlier redemption or submitted for exchange or transfer;
(e) to furnish the City at least annually a certificate with respect to Bonds
cancelled and/or destroyed; and
(f) to furnish the City at least annually an audit confirmation of Bonds paid,
Outstanding Bonds and payments made with respect to interest on the Bonds.
The City Clerk is hereby directed to file a certified copy of this Ordinance with the Bond
Registrar.
Section 23. Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. The Mayor or Treasurer of the City
are hereby authorized, empowered and directed to execute and deliver the Continuing Disclosure
Undertaking (the "Continuing Disclosure Undertaking") in substantially the same form now
before the City, or with such changes therein as the individual executing the Continuing
Disclosure Undertaking on behalf of the City shall approve, his execution thereof to constitute
conclusive evidence of his approval of such changes. If and when the Continuing Disclosure
Undertaking is executed and delivered on behalf of the City as herein provided, the Continuing
Disclosure Undertaking will be binding on the City and the officers, employees and agents of the
City, and the officers, employees and agents of the City are hereby authorized, empowered and
directed to do all such acts and things and to execute all such documents as may be necessary to
carry out and comply with the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking as executed,
and the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking shall constitute, and hereby is made, a part of this
Ordinance, and copies of the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking shall be placed in the official
records of the City, and shall be available for public inspection at the office of the City.
-41-
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the sole remedies for failure to comply
with the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking, if executed, shall be the ability of any beneficial
owner to take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandamus or
specific performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations under the
Continuing Disclosure Undertaking.
Section 24. Municipal Bond Insurance. In the event the payment of principal and
interest on the Bonds is insured pursuant to a municipal bond insurance policy (the "Municipal
Bond Insurance Policy") issued by a bond insurer (the "Bond Insurer"), and as long as such
Municipal Bond Insurance Policy shall be in full force and effect, the City and the .Bond
Registrar agree to comply with such usual and reasonable provisions regarding presentment and
payment of the Bonds, subrogation of the rights of the Bondholders to the Bond Insurer 'when
holding Bonds, amendment hereof, or other terms, as approved by the City Mayor on advice of
counsel, his or her approval to constitute full and complete acceptance by the City of such terms
and provisions under authority of this section.
Section 25. Severability. If any section, paragraph, clause or provision of this
Ordinance shall be held invalid, the invalidity of such section, paragraph, clause or provision
shall not affect any of the other provisions of this Ordinance.
Section 26. Repealer. All ordinances, resolutions or orders, or parts thereof, in conflict
with the provisions of this Ordinance are to the extent of such conflict hereby repealed.
