Resolution 4801, NEURD Bonding 1 Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Brit Fontenot, Director of Economic Development SUBJECT: Resolution 4801 Authorizing the Issuance and Sale of $1,446,000 Principal Amount of Tax Increment Urban Renewal Revenue Bond, Series 2017 (Northeast Urban Renewal District), to Finance the Infrastructure Improvements; and Prescribing the Forms, Terms and Security thereof MEETING DATE: May 22, 2017 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 4801 Authorizing the Issuance and Sale of $1,446,000 Principal Amount of Tax Increment Urban Renewal Revenue Bond, Series 2017 (Northeast Urban Renewal District), to Finance the Infrastructure Improvements; and Prescribing the Forms, Terms and Security thereof. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND VOTE: I move to approve Resolution 4801 authorizing the issuance and sale of $1,446,000 principal amount of tax increment urban renewal revenue bond, Series 2017 (Northeast Urban Renewal District), to finance the infrastructure improvements; and prescribing the forms, terms and security thereof. BACKGROUND: The City’s adopted economic development strategy, updated in 2016, identifies investment in infrastructure as one of three primary pillars of City economic development activities, along with education and workforce development and supporting local businesses. The historical mixed-uses in the area of northeast Bozeman includes an eclectic and vibrant mix of commercial and residential activities. The Northeast Urban Renewal District (the “District”) is located in the heart of the Northeast Neighborhood. As more residents and visitors discover the 444 2 uniqueness of the larger Northeast Neighborhood additional impacts are felt on the District’s basic infrastructure. These impacts will likely increase. The proposed bond will fund important improvements to the road beds and surfaces of East Peach and East Tamarack Streets, improve pedestrian connectivity with sidewalks and advance storm water treatment with curbs, gutters and treatment systems. The Northeast Urban Renewal District Board (the “Board”) began the bonding process discussions with the City Commission in earnest in June, 2016. The Board recommended bonding for the reconstruction of certain streets in the District in the FY 17 District budget and workplan. The Board developed a plan to complete as many of the five prioritized projects as possible with available bond funding. Resolution 4734 lists the bond eligible projects: 1) Reconstruction of East Tamarack Street; 2) Reconstruction of East Peach Street; 3) Reconstruction of North Ida Avenue; 4) Reconstruction of Front Street; and 5) Reconstruction of East Aspen Street and construction of a pedestrian bridge. Please reference the following documents for additional background information: 1) November 21, 2016 City Commission Packet Material - Resolution 4732 a. November 21, 2016 City Commission meeting minutes 2) December 19, 2016 City Commission Packet Material - Resolution 4734 a. December 19, 2016 City Commission meeting minutes 3) April 3, 2017 City Commission Packet Material - Resolution 4794 a. April 3, 2017 City Commission meeting minutes (DRAFT) When originally scheduled, it was planned that the first two streets on the priority list, East Tamarack and East Peach Streets, would be reconstructed during the 2017 construction season. After additional consultation with the Public Works Department, it was determined that the East Tamarack Street reconstruction should be advanced to FY2019 in order to align with the 2019 CIP Front Street Interceptor project. A portion of the Front Street Interceptor infrastructure planned for replacement in FY19 is under a significant portion of East Tamarack Street. The Board decided to complete the design of East Tamarack Street but delay street reconstruction to the summer of calendar year 2018 (FY19). Only East Peach Street is scheduled for a 2017 reconstruction. Attached to this memo are three exhibits 445 3 detailing the transaction: 1) Resolution 4801; 2) Executed Bond Purchase Agreement with Big Sky Western Bank; and 3) a map of the District. (Exhibits 1 – 3) TERMS: 446 4 FINDINGS: If adopted by the Commission, Resolution 4801 contains the following findings: 1) No persons will be displaced from their housing by the Infrastructure Improvements; 2) The Urban Renewal Plan and the Infrastructure Improvements conform to the City’s growth policy; 3) The Infrastructure Improvements are authorized as an urban renewal project pursuant to the Act and the Urban Renewal Plan; 4) The Urban Renewal Plan and the Infrastructure Improvements will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the needs of the City as a whole, for the rehabilitation or redevelopment in the District by private enterprise; 5) A sound and adequate financial program exists for the financing of the infrastructure improvements and costs of issuance of the Series 2017 Bond, using Tax Increment, taking into account the Tax Increment expected to be received by the City and available to pay debt service on the Series 2017 Bond; and 6) The infrastructure improvements and issuance and sale by the City of its Series 2017 Bond to finance costs of the infrastructure improvements, including costs of issuance of the Series 2017 Bond, are in the best interests of the City. FISCAL EFFECTS: Upon issuance of the bonds, the City will receive a total of $1,446,000 in two separate draws over two years. The first draw in the amount of $863,000 is scheduled for July, 2017, and the second draw amount $583,000 is scheduled for July, 2018, aligned with the timing of the Front Street Interceptor projects. The total aggregated costs of all five projects exceeds expected bond proceeds. Due to the limited amount of funds available from the bond, East Peach and East Tamarack Streets may be the only two projects funded with the bond proceeds. The bond will be re-paid according to the terms of the bond agreement and summarized in the amortization schedule duplicated on page 3 of this memo. Each bi-annual payment is in the amount of $46,000. Without issuing bonds, the district 447 5 sunsets in 2020. By issuing bonds, the life of the district is extended until the bond term expires, or 2042. The total East Peach Street reconstruction project cost is $856,246.92: 1) $663,189.98 will be paid for the street reconstruction from the Northeast Urban Renewal District bond, 2) $56,519.56 will be paid from the water fund, 3) $120,157.15 will be paid from the sewer fund and 4) $16,380.23 will be paid from the stormwater fund. EXHIBITS: 1) Resolution 4801; 2) Executed Bond Purchase Agreement; and 3) Northeast Urban Renewal District Map. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None. ALTERNATIVES: As determined by the Bozeman City Commission.

Prior City Actions. Pursuant to the Act, the City has determined that blighted property is located within the District, and that the rehabilitation, redevelopment or a combination thereof is necessary for the public health, safety, morals or welfare of the residents of the City, and the Commission has created the District and adopted the Urban Renewal Plan which provides for the segregation and collection of Tax Increment with respect to the District. The District and the Urban Renewal Plan have been duly and validly created and adopted in strict accordance with applicable provisions of the Act and are in full force and effect. As stated in the Urban Renewal Plan, the blighting influences in the District include, but are not limited to, inadequate public infrastructure, such as unsurfaced streets, inadequate storm water drainage, outdated water and sewer utilities, and inadequate street lighting. The Urban Renewal Plan authorizes the installation and construction of public improvements, including improving streets and alleys, improving fire prevention, repairing water and sewer mains, improving sidewalks and a trail network, improving storm water systems, and related public improvements. The Urban Renewal Plan further authorizes the issuances of tax increment bonds to pay all or a portion of the costs of such public improvements. In addition, following a duly noticed and conducted public hearing, the Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. 4734, adopted on December 19, 2016, approved the East Peach Street Project, the East Tamarack Street Project, and the Other Priority Street Projects as urban renewal projects and confirmed that such Projects are contemplated by and within the scope of the Urban Renewal Plan and are eligible for tax increment financing under such plan and the Act. Pursuant to and as authorized under the Urban Renewal Plan, the City proposes to undertake the design, engineering, construction and installation of the East Peach Street Project and the East Tamarack Street Project and, as appropriate, may substitute for, or add to, the East Tamarack Street Project one or more of the Other Priority Street Projects (collectively, the “Infrastructure Improvements”). In the event it is inappropriate to proceed with the East Tamarack Street Project, construction of which is expected to commence in the spring or summer of 2018, or it is not in the best interest of the City to pay a portion of the costs of the East Tamarack Street Project from the proceeds of the Series 2017 Bond, or it is in the best interest of the City to apply a portion of the proceeds of the Series 2017 Bond to a portion of the costs of the East Tamarack Street Project and to costs of one or more of the Other Priority Street 457 7 Projects, the Infrastructure Improvements may include one or more of the Other Priority Street Projects, as determined by the City Manager, the Assistant City Manager, the Public Works Director, and/or the Director of Economic Development. 1.05. Estimated Costs of the Infrastructure Improvements. Proceeds of the Series 2017 Bond shall be used to pay for a portion of the costs of the design, engineering, construction and installation of the Infrastructure Improvements. Costs of the Infrastructure Improvements and associated financing costs in excess of the proceeds of the Series 2017 Bond shall be paid out of Tax Increment on hand and/or other available funds of the City. 1.06. Estimate of Tax Increment. Based on Tax Increment received by the City of $121,342 in fiscal year 2015 and $148,335 in fiscal year 2016, and Tax Increment projected to be received by the City of $132,785 in fiscal year 2017, the City estimates that the Tax Increment will be at least $132,785 per fiscal year. The maximum fiscal year principal and interest payable on the Series 2017 Bond shall not exceed $92,000. There are no other obligations of the City payable from Tax Increment. Accordingly, the estimated Tax Increment to be received each year by the City will be sufficient to pay the maximum annual principal and interest payable on the Series 2017 Bond. 1.07. Findings. It is hereby found, determined and declared by this Commission as follows: (a) no persons will be displaced from their housing by the Infrastructure Improvements; (b) the Urban Renewal Plan and the Infrastructure Improvements conform to the City’s growth policy; (c) the Infrastructure Improvements are authorized as an urban renewal project pursuant to the Act and the Urban Renewal Plan; (c) the Urban Renewal Plan and the Infrastructure Improvements will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the needs of the City as a whole, for the rehabilitation or redevelopment in the District by private enterprise; (d) a sound and adequate financial program exists for the financing of the Infrastructure Improvements and costs of issuance of the Series 2017 Bond, using Tax Increment, taking into account the Tax Increment expected to be received by the City and available to pay debt service on the Series 2017 Bond; and (e) the Infrastructure Improvements and issuance and sale by the City of its Series 2017 Bond to finance costs of the Infrastructure Improvements, including costs of issuance of the Series 2017 Bond, are in the best interests of the City. 1.08. Authorization and Sale of Series 2017 Bond. This Commission hereby determines that it would be in the best interests of the City to sell its Tax Increment Urban Renewal Revenue Bond, Series 2017 (Northeast Urban Renewal District) (the “Series 2017 Bond”), in a negotiated sale to the Original Purchaser, as authorized by Section 7-15- 458 8 4301(1)(a) of the Act. Proceeds of the Series 2017 Bond shall be used to pay costs of the Infrastructure Improvements and to pay costs of issuance of the Series 2017 Bond, as set forth in Section 1.05. The Original Purchaser has agreed to purchase the Series 2017 Bond and disburse amounts thereunder, in two advances, the first in connection with the East Peach Street Project on the date of delivery of the Series 2017 Bond and the second one year thereafter on or about July 20, 2018 in connection with the East Tamarack Street Project (or, if applicable, one or more of the Other Priority Street Projects). The City’s Assistant City Manager and Director of Economic Development, are hereby authorized and directed to approve the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2017 Bond in an amount not to exceed $1,446,000. Upon such approval, the Mayor, Assistant City Manager and City Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to cause the City to issue and deliver on behalf of the City, the Series 2017 Bond in such aggregate principal amount. 1.09. Determinations. All acts, conditions and things required by the Constitution and laws of the State, including the Act, in order to pledge the Tax Increment to the payment of the Series 2017 Bond, to make the Series 2017 Bond valid and binding special, limited obligations of the City in accordance with their terms and in accordance with the terms of this Resolution have been done, do exist, have happened and have been performed in regular and due form, time and manner as so required. Section 2. The Bonds. 2.01. General Title. The general title of the Bonds of all series shall be “Tax Increment Urban Renewal Revenue (Northeast Urban Renewal District),” with appropriate additions for refunding Bonds and to distinguish Bonds of each series from Bonds of other series. 2.02. General Limitations; Issuable in Series. Bonds may be issued in series as from time to time authorized by the City. The aggregate principal amount of Bonds that may be authenticated and delivered and Outstanding under this Resolution is not limited, except as provided in Section 4 and except as may be limited by law. Bonds are special, limited obligations of the City. Bonds are not general obligations of the City and neither the general credit nor the taxing power of the City, Gallatin County, school districts, the State, or any taxing jurisdiction is pledged to the payment of Bonds or the interest thereon. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Bonds (except to the extent expressly payable out of proceeds of Bonds) are payable solely from the Tax Increment or other sources which may be pledged to the payment of any series of Bonds. Gallatin County, school districts, the State, and taxing jurisdictions other than the City shall in no event be liable for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Bonds or the performance of any pledge of any kind whatsoever that may be undertaken by the City with respect thereto. Neither this Resolution, any Bonds nor any of the agreements or obligations of the City contained herein or therein shall be construed to constitute an indebtedness of the City, Gallatin County, school districts, the State, or any taxing jurisdiction within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provisions whatsoever. If any Stated Maturity or Redemption Date shall be on a day which is not a Business Day, then payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest due on such day may be made on the 459 9 next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such Stated Maturity or Redemption Date (whether or not such next succeeding Business Day occurs in a succeeding month), and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. 2.03. Terms of a Particular Series. Each series of Bonds (except the Series 2017 Bond, as to which specific provision is made in Section 3) shall be created by a Supplemental Resolution and pursuant to Section 4. The City may, at the time of the creation of any series of Bonds or at any time thereafter make, and the Bonds of that series may also contain, provision for a sinking, amortization, improvement or other analogous fund. All Bonds of the same series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and the differences specified herein or in a Supplemental Resolution between interest rates, Stated Maturities and redemption provisions. 2.04. Form and Denominations. The form of Bonds (except the Series 2017 Bond, as to which specific provision is made in Section 3) shall be established by the Supplemental Resolution creating such series. Bonds of any series shall be issuable as fully registered Bonds, in such denominations as shall be provided in the Supplemental Resolution creating such series (except the Series 2017 Bond, as to which specific provision is made in Section 3). 2.05. Execution and Delivery. Each Bond shall be executed on behalf of the City by the officials of the City specified in a Supplemental Resolution (except the Series 2017 Bond, as to which specific provision is made in Section 3). The signature of any official may be facsimile, if permitted by applicable law. Bonds bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officials of the City shall bind the City, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the delivery of such Bonds or did not hold such offices at the date of such Bonds. At any time and from time to time, the City may deliver Bonds executed by the proper officers of the City to the Registrar for authentication, and the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver such Bonds as specified in a Supplemental Resolution (other than the Series 2017 Bond, as to which specific provision is made in Section 3). Section 3. The Series 2017 Bond. 3.01. Title, Principal Amount, Interest Rate and Stated Maturities. The Series 2017 Bond to be issued hereunder shall be denominated “Tax Increment Urban Renewal Revenue Bond, Series 2017 (Northeast Urban Renewal District)” and shall be issued in the principal amount of $1,446,000, with the principal amount thereof advanced in two advances, as described more particularly in the form of the Series 2017 Bond. The Series 2017 Bond shall mature, subject to redemption as hereinafter provided, on July 1, 2042. The Series 2017 Bond shall bear interest on the Outstanding principal amount from the date of original issue, or from such later date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until paid or discharged at the rate of 4.10% per annum. The principal of and interest on the Series 2017 Bond shall be payable in the amounts and on the respective dates reflected in the Debt Service Schedule attached as Schedule I to the Series 2017 Bond. 460 10 Principal of and interest on the Series 2017 Bond shall be payable by check or draft of the Registrar mailed to the Owner as such appears in the Bond Register as of the close of business on the 15th day (whether or not a Business Day) of the month immediately preceding each payment date; provided that the final payment of principal (whether at maturity or earlier redemption in full) shall be made by the Registrar only upon presentation and surrender of the Series 2017 Bond at the office of the Registrar, which at the date of this Resolution is the office of the City Treasurer, located at 121 N Rouse, Bozeman, Montana, or such other location designated in writing by the Registrar. A successor Registrar may be appointed under the provisions of Section 3.03 below. The Bond Registrar shall note in the Bond Register each principal payment on the Series 2017 Bond. The Series 2017 Bond shall be issuable only in fully registered form and the ownership of the Series 2017 Bond shall be transferred (in whole and not in part) only upon the Bond Register. The Series 2017 Bond shall be dated its date of issuance. Upon delivery of the Series 2017 Bond to the Original Purchaser thereof or upon the delivery of Series 2017 Bond upon a transfer or exchange, the Registrar shall date the Series 2017 Bond so delivered as of the date of its authentication. 3.02. System of Registration. The City hereby appoints the City Treasurer to act as bond registrar, transfer agent and paying agent for the Series 2017 Bond (the “Registrar”). The City reserves the right to appoint a bank, trust company or fiscal company as successor bond registrar, transfer agent or paying agent, as authorized by the Model Public Obligations Registration Act of Montana (the “Registration Act”), but the City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. This Section 3.03 shall establish a system of registration for the Series 2017 Bond as defined in the Model Public Obligations Registration Act of Montana, Montana Code Annotated, Title 17, Chapter 5, Part 11, as amended. The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the Registrar with respect thereto shall be as follows: (a) Bond Register. The Registrar shall keep a register (the “Bond Register”) in which the Registrar shall provide for the registration of ownership of the Series 2017 Bond and the registration of transfers or surrenders of the Series 2017 Bond entitled to be registered, transferred or surrendered. The term “Holder” or “Bondholder” or “Owner” as used herein means the person (whether a natural person, corporation, association, partnership, trust, governmental unit, or other legal entity) in whose name, as of the date of reference, the Series 2017 Bond is registered in the Bond Register. (b) Transfer. Upon surrender to the Registrar for transfer of the Series 2017 Bond duly endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Series 2017 Bond in the then outstanding principal amount, bearing interest at the same rate and payable on the same dates. The Registrar may, however, decline to register the transfer of any Bond which has theretofore been selected or called for redemption, in whole or in part. 461 11 (c) Reserved. (d) Cancellation. The Series 2017 Bond surrendered upon any transfer shall be promptly canceled by the Registrar and thereafter delivered to the City Treasurer. (e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. The Registrar may refuse to transfer any Series 2017 Bond presented to the Registrar for transfer until the Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on the Series 2017 Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar shall incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized. (f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in whose name the Series 2017 Bond is at any time registered in the Bond Register as the absolute owner of the Series 2017 Bond, whether the Series 2017 Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and (subject to Section 2.2) interest on the Series 2017 Bond and for all other purposes, and all such payments so made to any such Holder shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Series 2017 Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. (g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For every transfer or surrender of the Series 2017 Bond, the Registrar may impose upon the owner thereof a charge sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or surrender. (h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. In case the Series 2017 Bond shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar shall deliver a new Series 2017 Bond in substitution for and upon cancellation of such mutilated Series 2017 Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for the Series 2017 Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of Series 2017 Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that such Series 2017 Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it, in which both the City and the Registrar shall be named as obligees. The Series 2017 Bond so surrendered to the Registrar shall be canceled by it and evidence of such cancellation shall be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Series 2017 Bond has already matured or the Series 2017 Bond has been called for redemption in full in accordance with their terms, it shall not be necessary to issue a new Series 2017 Bond prior to payment. (i) Notice of Redemption. The Registrar shall give notice of redemption of the Series 2017 Bond as provided in Section 3.03 of this Resolution. (j) Valid Obligations. The Series 2017 Bond issued upon any transfer or substitution of the Series 2017 Bond shall be a valid obligation of the City evidencing the 462 12 same debt, and, with regard to matters from and after the date of transfer or substitution, entitled to the same benefits under this Resolution as the Series 2017 Bond surrendered upon such transfer or substitution. (k) Intent to Hold. While the above provisions of this Section 3.03 allow for transfer and substitution of the Series 2017 Bond, the Original Purchaser is purchasing the Series 2017 Bond with the intent to hold the Series 2017 Bond through its maturity date. 3.03. Redemption. (a) Optional Redemption of Series 2017 Bond. The Series 2017 Bond shall be subject to redemption at the option of the City, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, at a price equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date, without premium or penalty (such price in respect of the Series 2017 Bond, the “Redemption Price”). If the Series 2017 Bond is prepaid in part, the Original Purchaser or then-Owner of the Series 2017 Bond will reamortize the principal remaining upon redemption and prepayment as a result of and in accordance with the prepayment notice of the City at the interest rate over the then- remaining term, as described in (b) below. (b) Notice of Redemption. The Redemption Date and the principal amount of the Series 2017 Bond to be redeemed shall be fixed by the City who shall give notice thereof to the Registrar at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date or such lesser period as the Registrar accepts, provided that no such additional notice to the Registrar is required if the Registrar continues to be the City Treasurer. The Registrar, at least 30 days prior to the designated Redemption Date, shall cause notice of redemption to be mailed, by first class mail to the Owner of each Series 2017 Bond to be redeemed at its address as it appears on the Bond Register, but no defect in or failure to give such mailed notice shall affect the validity of proceedings for the redemption of the Series 2017 Bond not affected by such defect or failure. The notice of redemption shall specify the Redemption Date, Redemption Price, and the place at which the Series 2017 Bond, if redeemed and prepaid in full, is to be surrendered for payment, and, if redeemed and prepaid in part, the total principal amount of the Series 2017 Bond to be redeemed and prepaid in part and the principal amounts on each Stated Maturity that comprise the total partial prepayment and redemption amount. Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Series 2017 Bond or portion thereof 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 Series 2017 Bond or portion thereof shall cease to be payable and bear interest. (c) Reamortization if Partial Redemption and Prepayment. If the Series 2017 Bond is prepaid in part, the then-Owner of the Series 2017 Bond will reamortize the principal remaining upon redemption and prepayment as a result of and in accordance with the prepayment notice of the City at the interest rate over the then-remaining term. So long as the Series 2017 Bond is held by one registered Owner, upon partial 463 13 redemption and prepayment there shall be no need to exchange a new bond for the unredeemed portion of the existing bond; provided that the amortization schedule attached as Schedule I to the form of the Series 2017 Bond shall be replaced by an amortization schedule reflecting the reamortization of the principal then outstanding in the manner described above. 3.04. Execution and Delivery of Series 2017 Bond. The Series 2017 Bond shall be forthwith prepared for execution under the direction of the City Clerk and shall be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor, the Assistant City Manager and the City Clerk, provided that said signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles thereof. The seal of the City need not be imprinted on or affixed to the Series 2017 Bond. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on the Series 2017 Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery thereof, such signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, the Series 2017 Bond shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on such Series 2017 Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. The executed certificate of authentication on the Series 2017 Bond shall be conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. When the Series 2017 Bond has been fully executed and authenticated, it shall be delivered by the Registrar to the Original Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Original Purchaser shall not be obligated to see to the application of the purchase price. 3.05. Form of Series 2017 Bond. The Series 2017 Bond shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (which is hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof), with such appropriate variations, omissions and insertions as are permitted or required by the Resolution. 3.06. Transcript Certification. The officers of the City are directed to furnish to the Original Purchaser of the Series 2017 Bond and to Bond Counsel certified copies of all proceedings and information in their official records relevant to the authorization, sale and issuance of the Series 2017 Bond, and such certificates and affidavits as to other matters appearing in their official records or otherwise known to them as may be reasonably required to evidence the validity and security of the Series 2017 Bond, and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore furnished, shall constitute representations and recitals of the City as to the correctness of all facts stated therein and the completion of all proceedings stated therein to have been taken. Section 4. Additional Obligations. 4.01. General Provisions. In addition to the Series 2017 Bond, whose issuance and delivery is provided for in Section 3, Additional Bonds may at any time and from time to time be issued, sold and delivered by the City but only upon compliance with the conditions of Sections 4.02 or 4.03, and upon filing with the City Clerk the following: 464 14 (a) A Supplemental Resolution authorizing the issuance of such series of Additional Bonds and the sale thereof to the Original Purchaser(s) named therein for the purchase price set forth therein. (b) A certificate executed by the Mayor and the Assistant City Manager stating that upon the issuance of such series of Additional Bonds, no default hereunder has occurred and is continuing which would not be cured upon the issuance of such series of Additional Bonds and application of the proceeds thereof. (c) An opinion of Bond Counsel (who may rely on factual representations of the City and which opinion may be qualified by customary qualifications and exceptions) stating that: (i) all conditions precedent provided for in this Resolution relating to the issuance and delivery of such series of Additional Bonds have been complied with, including any conditions precedent specified in this Section 4.01; and (ii) the series of Additional Bonds when issued and delivered by the City will be valid and binding special, limited obligations of the City in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of and secured by this Resolution. Additional Bonds shall be dated, shall bear interest at a rate or rates not exceeding the maximum rate, if any, permitted by law, shall have Stated Maturities, and may be subject to redemption at such times and prices and on such terms and conditions, all as may be provided by the Supplemental Resolution authorizing their issuance. All Additional Bonds issued pursuant to Sections 4.02 and 4.03 shall be payable and secured ratably and equally and on a parity with the Series 2017 Bond and any Additional Bonds thereafter issued, and are entitled to the same benefits and security of this Resolution. 4.02. Obligations to Pay Costs of Projects. Additional Bonds may be issued under this Section 4.02, at one time or from time to time, subject to the conditions provided in Section 4.01 and this Section 4.02, for the purpose of providing funds, with any other funds available and committed therefor, for paying the cost of one or more Projects and any expenses in connection with such financing. Before any Additional Bonds shall be issued under this Section 4.02, the City shall adopt a Supplemental Resolution authorizing the issuance of such series of Additional Bonds and fixing the amount and the details thereof, and describing in brief and general terms the Projects to be acquired, constructed, altered or improved and estimating the costs thereof. In addition, prior to the execution and delivery of any series of Additional Bonds under this Section 4.02, there shall be filed with the City Clerk: (i) A certificate executed by the Mayor and the Assistant City Manager stating: (A) the estimated cost of the Projects being financed thereby, including an allowance for contingencies and all fees, expenses and financing costs, (B) the amount, if any, which will be required to be deposited in the Reserve Account in connection with 465 15 the issuance of Additional Bonds then proposed to be issued, (C) the amount, if any, which will be required to be credited to the Bond Account to pay interest on Additional Bonds then proposed to be issued as of the date of issuance, (D) the amount of Tax Increment received by the City in the last completed Fiscal Year, (E) the amount of the maximum Principal and Interest Requirements on the Outstanding Bonds and the Additional Bonds then proposed to be issued for any future Fiscal Year during the term of all Bonds and (F) that the principal amount of Additional Bonds then proposed to be issued is sufficient with other available funds of the City, if any, to provide for the payment of all estimated costs of Projects to be financed thereby, the amount, if any and if paid from proceeds of Additional Bonds, which will be required to be deposited in the Reserve Account in connection with the issuance of the Additional Bonds then proposed to be issued, and credits to the Bond Account as set forth above, if any; and (ii) a certificate executed by the Mayor and the Assistant City Manager stating that: (A) the Tax Increment received by the City in the last completed Fiscal Year was equal to at least 110% of the maximum Principal and Interest Requirements for any future calendar year (during the term of all Bonds) with respect to Outstanding Bonds and the Additional Bonds then proposed to be issued; and (B) the Tax Increment received by the City in the last completed Fiscal Year was, and the Tax Increment estimated to be received in the next succeeding three Fiscal Year is estimated to be, equal to at least 110% of the maximum Principal and Interest Requirements for any future calendar year (during the term of all Bonds) with respect to Outstanding Bonds and the Additional Bonds then proposed to be issued. For purposes of Section 4.02(ii)(A), the Tax Increment received by the City in the last completed Fiscal Year may be adjusted by adding any increase in Tax Increment which would have resulted from applying the aggregate tax rates of the Taxing Bodies effective for the last completed Fiscal Year to the value, as determined by certification of the County Assessor, of any projects which have been completed in the District before the date of issuance of the Additional Bonds then proposed to be issued and the taxable values of which as so completed are not included in the actual taxable value (as defined in the Act) of the District. For purposes of Section 4.02(ii)(B), the Tax Increment to be received in any future Fiscal Year shall assume that: (1) 90% of the Taxes levied in the District will be collected in any future Fiscal Year; (2) no Taxes delinquent in a prior Fiscal Year will be collected in any subsequent Fiscal Year; and (3) there will be no increase in the Tax Increment to be received in any future Fiscal Year resulting from projected inflation in property values or projected increases in Taxes. In addition, the Commission shall approve and confirm the findings and estimates set forth in the above-described certificates in the Supplemental Resolution authorizing the issuance of such Additional Bonds. 466 16 4.03. Obligations for Refunding Purposes. Additional Bonds may be issued under this Section 4.03, at one time or from time to time, subject to the conditions provided in Section 4.01 and this Section 4.03, for the purpose of providing funds, with any other funds available and committed therefor, for paying at, or redeeming prior to, their Stated Maturities any Outstanding Bonds, including the payment of any redemption premium thereon and interest which will accrue thereon to any Redemption Date or the Stated Maturities thereof, and any expenses in connection with such financing. Additional Bonds issued under this Section 4.03 shall be designated with the addition of the term “refunding”. Before any Additional Bonds shall be issued under this Section 4.03, the City shall adopt a Supplemental Resolution authorizing the issuance of such series of Additional Bonds and fixing the amount and the details thereof, and authorizing the redemption of the Outstanding Bonds to be refunded. In addition, prior to the execution and delivery of any series of Additional Bonds under this Section 4.03, there shall be filed with the City Clerk: (i) such documents as shall be required to show that provisions have been duly made in accordance with this Resolution for the redemption of all of the Outstanding Bonds to be refunded; and (ii) a report of an Independent Accountant to the effect that (a) the proceeds (excluding accrued interest but including any premium) of the Additional Bonds then proposed to be issued plus any moneys to be withdrawn from the Bond Account for such purpose, together with any other funds deposited for such purpose, will be not less than an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price on the Outstanding Bonds to be refunded, except that if the Owner of Outstanding Bonds to be refunded certifies that the proceeds of the Additional Bonds applied to the refunding plus other available funds to be applied to the refunding are sufficient on the date of delivery of the Additional Bonds to pay the Redemption Price on the Outstanding Bonds to be refunded on the Redemption Date, such certificate of an Independent Account shall not be necessary, or (b) from such proceeds there shall be deposited in trust, Defeasance Obligations which do not permit the redemption thereof at the option of the issuer, the principal of and the interest on which when due and payable (or redeemable at the option of the holder thereof) will provide, together with any other moneys which shall have been deposited in trust irrevocably for such purpose, but without reinvestment, sufficient moneys to pay such principal, redemption premium and interest. If Additional Bonds are issued to refund Subordinate Obligations, the conditions for the issuance of Additional Bonds pursuant to Section 4.02 shall be satisfied in lieu of this Section 4.03. 4.04. Subordinate Obligations. Except as provided in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03, no bonds, notes or other evidence of indebtedness of the City will be issued under or secured by the provisions of this Resolution, and no bonds, notes or other evidence of indebtedness will be made payable from the Bond Account, unless the pledge and appropriation of Tax Increment for the payment and security of such bonds, notes or other evidence of indebtedness is expressly 467 17 subordinated to the pledge and appropriation made for the benefit and security of the Bonds (including the Series 2017 Bond). In the event of the issuance of any such Subordinate Obligations, the principal, redemption premium and interest thereon will be made payable from one or more additional accounts created within the Tax Increment Accounts for that purpose, and the balance of funds at any time on hand in any such accounts shall be available and shall be transferred whenever needed to meet the current requirements of the Bond Account and the Reserve Account set forth in Sections 5.04 and 5.05, respectively. Section 5. The Tax Increment Accounts. 5.01. Bond Proceeds and Tax Increment Pledged and Appropriated. The City hereby establishes on its books and records three accounts designated as the Tax Increment Capital Project Account, the Tax Increment Debt Service Account and the Tax Increment Development Account (collectively, the “Tax Increment Accounts”), as described in this Section 5. The Tax Increment Accounts shall be maintained as separate and special bookkeeping accounts on the official books and records of the City until all Bonds have been fully paid, or the City’s obligation with reference to all Bonds has been discharged as provided in this Resolution. All proceeds of Bonds and all other funds hereafter received or appropriated for purposes of Projects are appropriated to the Tax Increment Accounts except amounts otherwise designated in a Supplemental Resolution or received from Additional Bonds issued to refund Outstanding Bonds pursuant to Section 4.03. All Tax Increment is irrevocably pledged and appropriated and shall be credited as received to the Tax Increment Debt Service Account. Bonds shall be secured by and payable from, equally and ratably with all other Bonds, Tax Increment and all other moneys from time to time in the Tax Increment Accounts, on a first lien basis, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 5. The City shall not issue any obligation or security superior to the Bonds, payable or secured, in whole or in part, from or by the Tax Increment until all of the Bonds have been paid or discharged as provided herein. 5.02. Tax Increment Receipts. All Tax Increment received by the City and credited to the Tax Increment Debt Service Account, as required in Section 5.01, shall be credited as received as follows: (a) first, to the Interest Account, until the balance on hand is at least equal to all interest on Bonds due and payable therefrom within the next twelve full calendar months; (b) second, to the Principal Account, until the balance on hand is at least equal to all principal of and premium, if any, on Bonds due and payable therefrom within the next twelve full calendar months; (c) third, to the Reserve Account until the balance on hand in the Reserve Account is equal to the Reserve Requirement; and (d) fourth, after all credits required by the preceding clauses, to the Tax Increment Development Account. 5.03. Construction Account. For each Project there shall be a separate Construction Account within the Tax Increment Capital Project Account, to be used only to pay allowed costs as incurred, which under accepted accounting principles are costs of the particular Project, including but not limited to payments due for work and materials performed and delivered under construction contracts, architectural, engineering, inspection, supervision, fiscal and legal expenses, the cost of lands and easements, interest accruing on Bonds during the period of construction of a Project financed thereby and for a period of time thereafter authorized by the Act and deemed necessary by this Commission, if and to the extent that amounts in the Interest 468 18 Account are not sufficient for payment of such interest, reimbursement of any loans or advances made from other City funds, and all other expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition, construction and financing of the Project. To the Construction Account shall be credited as received all proceeds of Bonds issued to finance such Project, except amounts otherwise designated in a Supplemental Resolution or received from Bonds issued to refund Outstanding Bonds or pursuant to Section 4.03 and all other funds appropriated by the City for the Project, and all income received from the investment of the Construction Account. Upon completion of any Project and payment of the cost thereof, the City shall transfer any money then remaining in the Construction Account for that Project to the Bond Account and used to pay or redeem Bonds or portions thereof as provided in Section 3.03. 5.04. Bond Account. The Bond Account is hereby established as a special account within the Tax Increment Debt Service Account. There are hereby established within the Bond Account two separate subaccounts, designated as the Interest Account and the Principal Account. (a) Interest Account. There shall be credited to the Interest Account the following amounts: (i) any amount specified in any Supplemental Resolution to be credited to the Interest Account; and (ii) from the Tax Increment as received by the City, the amount specified in clause (a) of Section 5.02. On or before each Interest Payment Date for Outstanding Bonds, the City shall withdraw from the Interest Account an amount sufficient to pay the interest due on the Bonds on such Interest Payment Date, and shall use such amount to pay, or make provision with the Registrar for the payment of, interest on the Bonds on such Interest Payment Date. If on any Interest Payment Date the balance in the Interest Account is not sufficient to pay the total amount of interest due on Bonds on such Interest Payment Date, the City shall transfer any money then on hand in the Tax Increment Development Account, the Subordinate Bond Account, the Reserve Account (for deficiencies with respect to Additional Bonds secured thereby), or the Principal Account to such account, in the order listed and in an amount equal to such deficiency. All income derived from the investment of amounts in the Interest Account shall be credited as received to the Interest Account. (b) Principal Account. There shall be credited to the Principal Account the following amounts: (i) any amount specified in a Supplemental Resolution to be credited to the Principal Account; and (ii) from the Tax Increment as received by the City, the amount specified in clause (b) of Section 5.02. Amounts on hand in the Principal Account shall be used on any Interest Payment Date to make up a deficiency in the Interest Account, if and to the extent required by this Section 5.04. On or before each Principal Payment Date for Outstanding Bonds, the City shall withdraw from the Principal Account an amount sufficient to pay the principal due on the Bonds on such Principal Payment Date, and shall use such amount to pay, or make 469 19 provision with the Registrar for the payment of, principal of the Bonds on such Principal Payment Date. If on any Principal Payment Date the balance in the Principal Account is not sufficient to pay the total amount of principal due on the Bonds on such Principal Payment Date, the City shall transfer any money then on hand in the Tax Increment Development Account or the Reserve Account (for deficiencies with respect to Additional Bonds secured thereby) to such account in an amount equal to such deficiency. All income derived from the investment of amounts in the Principal Account shall be credited as received to the Principal Account. 5.05. Reserve Account. The Reserve Account is hereby established as a special account within the Tax Increment Debt Service Account. The City shall deposit in the Reserve Account on the date of delivery of the Series 2017 Bond from its funds legally available therefor an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement for the Series 2017 Bond. There shall also be credited to the Reserve Account the following amounts: (i) any amount specified in any Supplemental Resolution to be credited to the Reserve Account; (ii) from the Tax Increment as received by the City, the amount specified in clause (c) of Section 5.02; and (iii) any other amounts appropriated from time to time to the Reserve Account. If on any Interest Payment Date or on any Principal Payment Date there shall exist, after the transfers thereto of any money then on hand in the Tax Increment Development Account and the Bond Account a deficiency in the Interest Account or Principal Account, the City shall transfer from the Reserve Account (for deficiencies with respect to Bonds secured thereby) to such account an amount equal to such deficiency. All income derived from the investment of amounts in the Reserve Account shall be credited as received to the Reserve Account until such time as the balance in the Reserve Account is equal to the Reserve Requirement, and thereafter all such investment income as received shall be transferred to the Principal Account. Money in the Reserve Account shall be used only to pay when due principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Bonds secured thereby when the balance on hand in the Bond Account is insufficient therefor; provided that on any date when the balance then on hand in the Bond Account allocable to a series of Bonds, plus the balance then on hand in the Reserve Account allocable to such series of Bonds, is sufficient with other money available to pay or discharge all Outstanding Bonds of such series and the interest accrued thereon in full, and the balance thereafter on hand in the Reserve Account will be at least equal to the Reserve Requirement for all Outstanding Bonds not to be discharged, it may be used for that purpose. If at any time the balance in the Reserve Account exceeds the Reserve Requirement, the City shall transfer such excess to the Principal Account, except that to the extent the Reserve Account is funded from funds that are other than proceeds of tax-exempt bonds, the City may transfer such excess to the Tax Increment Development Account. 470 20 5.06. Tax Increment Development Account. There shall be credited to the Tax Increment Development Account any and all Tax Increment remaining after the required credits to the Bond Account, the Reserve Account, and any investment income and other moneys in any of the accounts within the Tax Increment Accounts in excess of the requirements of said accounts and which the City determines in its discretion to transfer to the Tax Increment Development Account.

Section 6. Tax Covenants and Certifications. 6.01. Security for the Series 2017 Bond. The City shall not enter into any lease, use or other agreement or arrangement with any non-governmental Person relating to the use of the Infrastructure Improvements or security for the payment of the Series 2017 Bond which might cause the Series 2017 Bond to be considered a “private activity bond” or “private loan bond” within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code. No “impermissible agreement” as defined in Regulations, Section 1.141-4(e)(4)(ii), has been or will be entered into by the City in respect of the Tax Increment or otherwise to secure the Series 2017 Bond. 6.02. General Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the Owner from time to time of the Series 2017 Bond that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any action which would cause the interest on the Series 2017 Bond to become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Code and applicable Regulations, and covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the Series 2017 Bond will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations. 6.03. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor, the Assistant City Manager and the City Clerk, being the officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Series 2017 Bond pursuant to this Resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Original Purchaser a certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and Section 1.148-2(b) of the Regulations, stating that on the basis of facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Series 2017 Bond, it is reasonably expected that the proceeds of the Series 2017 Bond will not be used in a manner that would cause the Series 2017 Bond to be an “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations. 472 22 6.04. Arbitrage Rebate Exemption. (a) The City hereby represents that the Series 2017 Bond qualifies for the exception for small governmental units to the arbitrage rebate provisions contained in Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code. Specifically, the City represents: (1) Not less than 95% of the proceeds of the Series 2017 Bond will be used for local governmental activities of the City. (2) The aggregate face amount of all “tax-exempt bonds” (including warrants, contracts, leases and other indebtedness, but excluding private activity bonds and current refunding bonds issued in an amount not greater than the outstanding bonds to be refunded) issued by or on behalf of the City and all subordinate entities thereof during 2017 is not reasonably expected to exceed the $5,000,000. As of the date of issuance of the Series 2017 Bond, the City reasonably expects to issue in 2017 no tax-exempt bonds other than the Series 2017 Bond. In 2012 through 2016, the City issued no tax-exempt bonds, except its $1,815,000 Stormwater System Revenue Bond (DNRC Water Pollution Control State Revolving Loan Program), Series 2015, $5,100,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2014, $9,900,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2013, $22,172,081 First Amended and Restated Sewer System Revenue Bonds (DNRC Water Pollution Control State Revolving Loan Program), Series 2010C Bond, Series 2010D Bond, Series 2010F Bond, Series 2010G Bond, and Series 2010H Bond, $18,891,000 First Amended and Restated Water System Revenue Bonds (DNRC Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Program), Consisting of Series 2011A Bond and Series 2011B Bond, and $3,080,000 General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2012. (b) If notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 6.04, the arbitrage rebate provisions of Section 148(f) of the Code apply to the Series 2017 Bond, the City hereby covenants and agrees to make the determinations, retain records and rebate to the United States the amounts at the times and in the manner required by said Section 148(f). 6.05. “Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations”. Pursuant to Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City hereby designates the Series 2017 Bond as a “qualified tax-exempt obligation” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The City has not designated any obligations in 2017 other than the Series 2017 Bond under Section 265(b)(3). The City hereby represents that it does not anticipate that obligations bearing interest not includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation under Section 103 of the Code (including refunding obligations as provided in Section 265(b)(3) of the Code and including “qualified 501(c)(3) bonds” but excluding other “private activity bonds,” as defined in Sections 141(a) and 145(a) of the Code) will be issued by or on behalf of the City and all “subordinate entities” of the City in 2017 in an amount greater than $10,000,000. 473 23 6.06.

Nothing herein contained shall prevent the City from making advances of its own moneys however derived to any of the uses or purposes referred to herein, nor shall be deemed or constitute a pledge or appropriation of funds or assets of the City other than those expressly pledged or appropriated hereby. The City further covenants that it will promptly deposit or cause to be deposited all Tax Increment it receives into the Tax Increment Debt Service Account, as set forth in Section 5.02. 7.02. Accumulation of Claims of Interest. In order to prevent any accumulation of claims for interest after maturity, the City will not, directly or indirectly, extend or consent to the extension of the time for the payment of any claim for interest on any of the Bonds and will not, directly or indirectly, be a party to or approve any such arrangements by purchasing or funding said claims for interest or in any other manner. In case any such claim for interest shall be extended or funded, whether or not with the consent of the City, such interest so extended or funded shall not be entitled, in case of default hereunder, to the benefits of this Resolution, except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal of all of the Bonds then outstanding and of all claims for interest which shall not have been so extended or funded. 7.03. Against Encumbrances. The City will not issue any obligation or security superior to Bonds, payable or secured, in whole or in part, from or by the Tax Increment until all of the Bonds have been paid or discharged as provided herein. 7.04. Books and Accounts; Financial Statements.

Further Assurances. The City will adopt, make, execute and deliver any and all such further resolutions, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of this Resolution, and for the better assuring and confirming unto the Owners of the rights and benefits provided in this Resolution. 7.06. Amendment of Ordinance. Except to authorize additional Projects, the City will not amend or modify the Ordinance or reduce the size of the District if an effect thereof will be to materially and adversely affect the security of the Outstanding Bonds. 474 24 7.07. Adjustment of Base Taxable Value. Without the prior written consent of Owners of all Bonds Outstanding, the City shall not adjust the base taxable value (as defined in the Act) of the District pursuant to Section 7-15-4287 of the Act so long as any Bonds are Outstanding. 7.08. Pledge of Replacement Revenues. In the event the Constitution or laws of the State are amended to abolish or substantially reduce or eliminate real or personal property taxation and State law then or thereafter provides to the City an alternate or supplemental source or sources of revenue specifically to replace or supplement reduced or eliminated Tax Increment, then the City pledges, and covenants to appropriate annually, subject to the limitations of then applicable law, to the Bond Account from such alternate or supplemental revenues an amount that will, with money on hand in the Bond Account or available and to be transferred to the Bond Account during such Fiscal Year, be sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Bonds payable in that Fiscal Year. 7.09. Owners’ Rights. No Owner of any Bond issued and secured under the provisions of this Resolution shall have the right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, for the enforcement of the covenants herein contained, without the written concurrence of the Owners of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Bonds; but the Owners of such aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds may, either at law or in equity, by suit, action or other proceedings, protect and enforce the rights of all Owners of Bonds and compel the performance of any and all of the covenants required herein to be performed by the City and its officers and employees. The Owner of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Bonds shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the Owners or the exercise of any power conferred on them, and the right to waive a default in the performance of any such covenant, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bond when due. Nothing herein shall impair the absolute and unconditional right of the Owner of each Bond to receive payment of the principal of and interest on any Bond as such principal and interest respectively become due, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment. In the event of default in any such payment, any court having jurisdiction of the action may appoint a receiver to administer the Tax Increment Accounts and to collect and segregate and apply the Tax Increment and other revenues pledged thereto as provided by this Resolution or any Supplemental Resolution and the Act. Section 8. Supplemental Resolutions. 8.01. General. Notwithstanding Section 8.02, the City reserves the right to adopt Supplemental Resolutions to this Resolution from time to time and at any time, for the purpose of curing any ambiguity or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained herein, or of making such provisions with regard to matters or questions arising hereunder as the City may deem necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with this Resolution, and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the Owners of Bonds issued hereunder, or for the purpose of adding to the covenants and agreements herein contained, or to the Tax Increment herein pledged, other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed and additional revenues or income thereafter appropriated to the Tax Increment Accounts, or for the purpose of surrendering any right or power herein reserved to or conferred upon the City, or for the purpose of authorizing the creation and issuance of a series of Bonds, as provided in and 475 25 subject to the conditions and requirements of Section 4. Any such Supplemental Resolution may be adopted without the consent of the Owner of any of the Bonds issued hereunder. 8.02. Consent of Owners.

In the event that unrevoked consents of the Owners of the requisite principal amount of Bonds have not been received by the City Clerk within one year after the publication of notice of the Supplemental Resolution, the Supplemental Resolution and all consents theretofore received shall be of no further force and effect. 8.04.

This Series 2017 Bond shall be subject to redemption at the option of the City, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, at a price equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date, without premium. The Redemption Date and the principal amount of this Series 2017 Bond to be redeemed shall be fixed by the City who shall give notice thereof to the Registrar at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date or such lesser period as the Registrar accepts; provided that no such additional notice to the Registrar is required if the Registrar continues to be the City Treasurer.

As provided in the Resolution and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Series 2017 Bond is transferable upon the books of the City at the principal corporate trust office of the Registrar, by the registered owner hereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender hereof together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner or his attorney; and may also be surrendered in exchange for another Series 2017 Bond of a like aggregate principal amount, interest rate and maturity. Upon such transfer or exchange, the City will cause a new Series 2017 Bond to be issued in the name of the transferee or registered owner, of the same aggregate principal amount, bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date, subject to reimbursement for any tax, fee or governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. The City and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Series 2017 Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof, whether this Series 2017 Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and neither the City nor the Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
