10-620 et seq., respectively.
The principal of, or Redemption Price, if any, and interest on the Notes
shall be payable in any coin or currency which, on the respective dates of
payment thereof, is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
The principal or
Redemption Price of and interest on each Note shall be paid at Maturity to the
Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Note Register at the
Maturity thereof, upon presentation and surrender of such Note at the principal
office of the Paying Agent.
The interest payable on
each Note on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Owner of such Note
as shown on the Note Register at the close of business on the Record Date for
such interest (a) by check or draft mailed by the Paying Agent to the address
of such Owner shown on the Note Register or at such other address as is
furnished to the Paying Agent in writing by such Owner; or (b) in the case of
an interest payment to Cede & Co. or any Owner of $500,000 or more in
aggregate principal amount of Notes, by electronic transfer to such Owner upon
written notice given to the Note Registrar by such Owner, not less than 15 days
prior to the Record Date for such interest, containing the electronic transfer
instructions including the bank, ABA routing number and account number to which
such Owner wishes to have such transfer directed.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section, any Defaulted Interest with respect to
any Note shall cease to be payable to the Owner of such Note on the relevant
Record Date and shall be payable to the Owner in whose name such Note is
registered at the close of business on the Special Record Date for the payment
of such Defaulted Interest, which Special Record Date shall be fixed as
hereinafter specified in this paragraph.
The Issuer shall notify the Paying Agent in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the
proposed payment (which date shall be at least 30 days after receipt of such
notice by the Paying Agent) and shall deposit with the Paying Agent at the time
of such notice an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be
paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the
proposed payment. Following receipt of
such funds the Paying Agent shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days
prior to the date of the proposed payment.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer of such Special Record
Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of
the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be mailed, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Owner of a
Note entitled to such notice at the address of such Owner as it appears on the
Note Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.
The Paying Agent shall
keep a record of payment of principal and Redemption Price of and interest on
all Notes and at least annually shall forward a copy or summary of such records
to the Issuer.
In any case where a Note Payment Date is not a Business Day, then
payment of principal, Redemption Price or interest need not be made on such
Note Payment Date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on such Note Payment Date, and no interest
shall accrue for the period after such Note Payment Date.
The Issuer covenants that, as long as any of the Notes remain
Outstanding, it will cause the Note Register to be kept at the office of the
Note Registrar as herein provided. Each
Note when issued shall be registered in the name of the Owner thereof on the
Note Register.
Notes may be
transferred and exchanged only on the Note Register as provided in this
Section. Upon surrender of any Note at
the principal office of the Note Registrar, the Note Registrar shall transfer
or exchange such Note for a new Note or Notes in any authorized denomination of
the same Stated Maturity and in the same aggregate principal amount as the Note
that was presented for transfer or exchange.
Notes presented for
transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer or authorization for exchange, in a form and with
guarantee of signature satisfactory to the Note Registrar, duly executed by the
Owner thereof or by the Owner's duly authorized agent.
In all cases in which
the privilege of transferring or exchanging Notes is exercised, the Note
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Notes in accordance with the provisions
of this Note Resolution. The Issuer
shall pay the fees and expenses of the Note Registrar for the registration,
transfer and exchange of Notes provided for by this Note Resolution and the
cost of printing a reasonable supply of registered note blanks. Any additional costs or fees that might be
incurred in the secondary market, other than fees of the Note Registrar, are
the responsibility of the Owners of the Notes.
In the event any Owner fails to provide a correct taxpayer
identification number to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent may make a charge
against such Owner sufficient to pay any governmental charge required to be
paid as a result of such failure. In
compliance with Section 3406 of the Code, such amount may be deducted by the
Paying Agent from amounts otherwise payable to such Owner hereunder or under
the Notes.
The Issuer and the Note
Registrar shall not be required (a) to register the transfer or exchange of any
Note that has been called for redemption after notice of such redemption has
been mailed by the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 304 hereof
and during the period of 15 days next preceding the date of mailing of such
notice of redemption; or (b) to register the transfer or exchange of any Note
during a period beginning at the opening of business on the day after receiving
written notice from the Issuer of its intent to pay Defaulted Interest and
ending at the close of business on the date fixed for the payment of Defaulted
Interest pursuant to Section 205 hereof.
The Issuer and the
Paying Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered
on the Note Register as the absolute Owner of such Note, whether such Note is
overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the
principal or Redemption Price of and interest on said Note and for all other
purposes. All payments so made to any
such Owner or upon the Owner's order
shall be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such
Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the Issuer nor the
Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
At reasonable times and
under reasonable regulations established by the Note Registrar, the Note
Register may be inspected and copied by the Owners (or a designated
representative thereof) of 10% or more in principal amount of the Notes then
Outstanding or any designated representative of such Owners whose authority is
evidenced to the satisfaction of the Note Registrar.
Each of the Notes, including any Notes issued in exchange or as
substitutions for the Notes initially delivered, shall be executed for and on
behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor, countersigned by the manual or facsimile
signature of the Treasurer, attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Clerk and the seal
of the Issuer shall be affixed thereto or imprinted thereon. The Mayor
and Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and execute the Notes
in the manner herein specified, and to cause the Notes to be registered in the
office of the Clerk, which registration shall be evidenced by the manual or
facsimile signature of the Clerk with the seal of the Issuer affixed thereto or
imprinted thereon, and registered in the office of the Clerk of Douglas, Kansas, which registration shall be
evidenced by the manual or facsimile signature of the Clerk of Douglas County, Kansas with the seal of Douglas County, Kansas affixed thereto or
imprinted thereon. The Notes shall also
be registered in the office of the State Treasurer, which registration shall be
evidenced by the manual or facsimile signature of the State Treasurer with the
seal of the State Treasurer affixed thereto or imprinted thereon. The Notes shall be countersigned by the
manual or facsimile signature of the Clerk and the seal of the Issuer shall be
affixed or imprinted adjacent thereto following registration of the Notes by
the Treasurer of the State of
The Mayor and Clerk are hereby authorized and directed
to prepare and execute the Notes as herein specified, and when duly executed,
to deliver the Notes to the Note Registrar for authentication.
The Notes shall have
endorsed thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT A
hereof, which shall be manually executed by an authorized officer or employee
of the Note Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer or
employee sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Notes that may be
issued hereunder at any one time. No
Note shall be entitled to any security or benefit under this Note Resolution or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless and until such certificate of
authentication has been duly executed by the Note Registrar. Such executed certificate of authentication
upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly
authenticated and delivered under this Note Resolution. Upon authentication, the Note Registrar shall
deliver the Notes to the Purchaser upon instructions of the Issuer or its
representative.
If (a) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar or the
Note Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss
or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to the Issuer and the Note
Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by each of them, then,
in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Note Registrar that such Note has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and, upon the
Issuer's request, the Note Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same Stated
Maturity and of like tenor and principal amount.
If any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and
payable, the Issuer, in its discretion, may pay such Note instead of issuing a
new Note.
Upon the issuance of
any new Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment by the
Owner of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Paying Agent) connected therewith.
Every new Note issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute a replacement of the prior obligation
of the Issuer, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Note
Resolution equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Notes.
All Notes that have been paid or redeemed or that otherwise have been
surrendered to the Paying Agent, either at or before Maturity, shall be
cancelled by the Paying Agent immediately upon the payment, redemption and surrender thereof to the Paying Agent and
subsequently destroyed in accordance with the customary practices of the Paying
Agent. The Paying Agent shall execute a
certificate in duplicate describing the Notes so cancelled and destroyed and
shall file an executed counterpart of such certificate with the Issuer.
The Issuer and Paying Agent have entered into a DTC Representation
Letter with DTC. The Notes shall
initially be registered to Cede & Co., the nominee for the Securities
Depository, and no Beneficial Owner will receive certificates representing
their respective interests in the Notes, except in the event the Note Registrar
issues Replacement Notes as provided in this Section. It is anticipated that during the term of the
Notes, the Securities Depository will make book-entry transfers among its
Participants and receive and transmit payment of principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on, the Notes to the Participants until and unless the Note
Registrar authenticates and delivers Replacement Notes to the Beneficial Owners
as described in the following paragraph.
The Issuer may decide, subject to
the requirements of the Operational Arrangements of DTC (or a successor
Securities Depository), and the following provisions of this
section to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers
through DTC (or a successor Securities Depository):
(a) If the Issuer determines (1) that the
Securities Depository is unable to properly discharge its responsibilities, or
(2) that the Securities Depository is no longer qualified to act as a
securities depository and registered clearing agency under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (3) that the continuation of a book-entry
system to the exclusion of any Notes being issued to any Owner other than Cede
& Co. is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners of the
Notes; or
(b) if the Note Registrar receives written
notice from Participants having interests in not less than 50% of the Notes
Outstanding, as shown on the records of the Securities Depository (and
certified to such effect by the Securities Depository), that the continuation
of a book-entry system to the exclusion of any Notes being issued to any Owner
other than Cede & Co. is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial
Owners of the Notes, then the Note Registrar shall notify the Owners of such
determination or such notice and of the availability of certificates to Owners
requesting the same, and the Note Registrar shall register in the name of and
authenticate and deliver Replacement Notes to the Beneficial Owners or their
nominees in principal amounts representing the interest of each, making such
adjustments as it may find necessary or appropriate as to accrued interest and
previous calls for redemption; provided, that in the case of a determination
under (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this paragraph, the Issuer, with the consent of the
Note Registrar, may select a successor securities depository in accordance with
the following paragraph to effect book-entry transfers.
In such event, all
references to the Securities Depository herein shall relate to the period of
time when the Securities Depository has possession of at least one Note. Upon the issuance of Replacement Notes, all
references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the
Securities Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the
Note Registrar, to the extent applicable with respect to such Replacement
Notes. If the Securities Depository
resigns and the Issuer, the Note Registrar or Owners are unable to locate a
qualified successor of the Securities Depository in accordance with the
following paragraph, then the Note Registrar shall authenticate and cause
delivery of Replacement Notes to Owners, as provided herein. The Note Registrar may rely on information
from the Securities Depository and its Participants as to the names of the
Beneficial Owners of the Notes. The cost
of printing, registration, authentication, and delivery of Replacement Notes
shall be paid for by the Issuer.
In the event the
Securities Depository resigns, is unable to properly discharge its
responsibilities, or is no longer qualified to act as a securities depository
and registered clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, the Issuer may appoint a successor Securities Depository provided
the Note Registrar receives written evidence satisfactory to the Note Registrar
with respect to the ability of the successor Securities Depository to discharge
its responsibilities. Any such successor
Securities Depository shall be a securities depository which is a registered
clearing agency under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
other applicable statute or regulation that operates a securities depository
upon reasonable and customary terms. The
Note Registrar upon its receipt of a Note or Notes for cancellation shall cause
the delivery of Notes to the successor Securities Depository in appropriate
denominations and form as provided herein.
If any Note is not presented for payment when the principal thereof
becomes due at Maturity, if funds sufficient to pay such Note have been made
available to the Paying Agent all liability of the Issuer to the Owner thereof
for the payment of such Note shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely
discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Paying Agent to hold such
funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the Owner of
such Note, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any
claim of whatever nature on his part under this Note Resolution or on, or with
respect to, said Note. If any Note is
not presented for payment within four (4) years following the date when such
Note becomes due at Maturity, the Paying Agent shall repay, without liability
for interest thereon, to the Issuer the funds theretofore held by it for
payment of such Note, and such Note shall, subject to the defense of any
applicable statute of limitation, thereafter be an unsecured obligation of the
Issuer, and the Owner thereof shall be entitled to look only to the Issuer for
payment, and then only to the extent of the amount so repaid to it by the
Paying Agent, and the Issuer shall not be liable for any interest thereon and
shall not be regarded as a trustee of such money.

comply with the requirements of Rule 15c2-12(b)(1) of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Issuer hereby deems the information regarding the

Rule 15c2-12(b)(1), and the appropriate officers of the Issuer are hereby

such effect and to take such other actions or execute such other documents as
such officers in their reasonable judgment deem necessary to enable the
Purchaser to comply with the requirement of such Rule.

completing the Preliminary Official Statement, with such changes and additions
thereto as are necessary to conform to and describe the transaction. The Mayor

The Issuer agrees to
provide to the Purchaser within seven business days of the date of the sale of
Notes sufficient copies of the final Official Statement to enable the Purchaser
to comply with the requirements of Rule 15c2-12(b)(4) of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and with the requirements of Rule G-32 of the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board.
The sale of the Notes to the Purchaser is hereby ratified and

(which shall be as soon as practicable after the adoption of this Note
Resolution), upon payment of the Purchase Price.
The Notes shall not be subject to optional redemption and payment prior
to their Stated Maturity.
The Notes shall be general obligations of the Issuer payable as to both
principal and interest in part from special assessments levied upon the
property benefited by the construction of the Improvements, or from general
obligation bonds of the Issuer and, if not so paid, from ad valorem taxes which
may be levied without limitation as to rate or amount upon all the taxable
tangible property, real and personal, within the territorial limits of the
Issuer. The full faith, credit and resources
of the Issuer are hereby irrevocably pledged for the prompt payment of the
principal of and interest on the Notes as the same become due.
The governing body of the Issuer shall annually make provision for the
payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes as the same
become due, if necessary, by levying and collecting the necessary taxes upon
all of the taxable tangible property within the Issuer in the manner provided
by law.
The taxes referred to
above shall be extended upon the tax rolls and shall be levied and collected at
the same time and in the same manner as the other ad valorem taxes of the
Issuer are levied and collected. The
proceeds derived from said taxes shall be deposited in the Bond and Interest
Fund, shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the Issuer shall
thereafter be deposited in the Debt Service Account and shall be used solely
for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes as and when the same
become due, and the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent.
If at any time said
taxes are not collected in time to pay the principal of or interest on the
Notes when due, the Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to pay said
principal or interest out of the general funds of the Issuer and to reimburse
said general funds for money so expended when said taxes are collected.
Simultaneously with the issuance of the Notes, there shall be created
within the Treasury of the Issuer the following funds and accounts:
(a) Improvement Fund for General Obligation Temporary Notes, Series 2006-I;
(b) Debt Service Account for General Obligation Temporary Notes, Series 2006-I; and
(c) Rebate Fund for General Obligation Temporary Notes, Series 2006-I.
The Funds and Accounts
established herein shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of
this Note Resolution so long as the Notes are Outstanding.
The net proceeds received from the sale of the Notes shall be deposited
simultaneously with the delivery of the Notes as follows:
(a) All accrued interest if any received
from the sale of the Notes ***[and $_________, representing interest on the
Notes during construction of the Improvements]*** shall be deposited in the
Debt Service Account.
(b) The remaining balance of the proceeds
derived from the sale of the Notes shall be deposited in the Improvement Fund.
(a) Moneys in the Improvement Fund shall be
used for the sole purpose of: (a) paying
the costs of the Improvements, in accordance with the plans and specifications
therefor approved by the governing body of the Issuer and on file in the office
of the Clerk, including any alterations in or amendments to said plans and
specifications deemed advisable and approved by the governing body of the
Issuer; (b) paying Costs of Issuance; and (c) transferring any amounts to the
Rebate Fund required by Section 506 hereof or the Federal Tax
Certificate.
(b) Upon completion of the Improvements, any
surplus remaining in the Improvement Fund shall be deposited in the Debt
Service Account.
If
the City is prevented, hindered or delayed from proceeding with the acquisition
or construction of the improvements as listed in Section 101 of this
Resolution or if the City has moneys remaining in the Improvement Fund after the
completion of such improvements, the City may elect to substitute or add other
improvements pursuant to this Section (the "Substitute Improvement")
provided the following conditions are met: (1) the Substitute Improvement and
the issuance of general obligation bonds to pay the cost of the Substitute
Improvement has been duly authorized by the governing body of the City in
accordance with the laws of the State, (2) a resolution authorizing the use of
the proceeds of the Notes to pay the Authorized Costs of the Substitute
Improvement has been duly adopted by the governing body of the City, (3) the
Attorney General of the State has approved the amendment to the transcript of
proceedings for the Notes to include the Substitute Improvements and (4) the
City has received an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the use of the
proceeds of the Notes to pay the Authorized Cost of the Substitute Improvement
will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Notes under State or
federal law and the Substitute Improvement has been duly authorized pursuant to
this Section and the laws of the State.
All amounts paid and credited to the Debt Service Account shall be
expended and used by the Issuer for the sole purpose of paying the principal or
Redemption Price of and interest on the Notes as and when the same become due
and the usual and customary fees and expenses of the Note Registrar and Paying
Agent. The Treasurer is authorized and
directed to withdraw from the Debt Service Account sums sufficient to pay both
principal or Redemption Price of and interest on the Notes and the fees and
expenses of the Note Registrar and Paying Agent as and when the same become
due, and to forward such sums to the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer, in
a manner which ensures that the Paying Agent will receive immediately available
funds in such amounts on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the
dates when such principal, interest and fees of the Note Registrar and Paying
Agent will become due. If, through the
lapse of time or otherwise, the Owners of Notes are no longer entitled to
enforce payment of the Notes or the interest thereon, the Paying Agent shall
return said funds to the Issuer. All
moneys deposited with the Paying Agent shall be deemed to be deposited in
accordance with and subject to all of the provisions contained in this Note
Resolution and shall be held by the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Owners
of the Notes entitled to payment from such moneys.
Any moneys or
investments remaining in the Debt Service Account after the retirement of the
indebtedness for which the Notes were issued shall be transferred and paid into
the Bond and Interest Fund.
(a) There shall be deposited in the Rebate
Fund such amounts as are required to be deposited therein pursuant to the
Federal Tax Certificate. All money at
any time deposited in the Rebate Fund shall be held in trust, to the extent
required to satisfy the Rebate Amount (as defined in the Federal Tax
Certificate), for payment to the United States of America, and neither the
Issuer nor the Owner of any Notes shall have any rights in or claim to such
money. All amounts deposited into or on
deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be governed by this Section and the Federal
Tax Certificate.
(b) The Issuer shall periodically determine
the arbitrage rebate, if any, under Code § 148(f) of the Code in accordance
with the Federal Tax Certificate, and the Issuer shall make payments to the
United States of America at the times and in the amounts determined under the
Federal Tax Certificate. Any moneys
remaining in the Rebate Fund after redemption and payment of all of the Notes
and payment and satisfaction of any Rebate Amount, or provision made therefor,
shall be deposited into the Bond and Interest Fund.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Note Resolution, including in particular Article VII hereof, the obligation to pay arbitrage rebate to
the United States of America and to comply with all other requirements of this
Section and the Federal Tax Certificate shall survive the defeasance or payment
in full of the Notes.
Moneys in each of the Funds and Accounts shall be deposited in a bank,
savings and loan association or savings bank:
(a) organized under the laws of the State or the United States with main
offices located in the county or counties in which the Issuer is located; or
(b) under certain conditions of State law, organized under the laws of the
United States or any other State thereof, with main offices located outside of
the State, but with a branch located in the county or counties in which the
Issuer is located. All such depositaries
shall be members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. All such deposits shall be invested in
Permitted Investments as set forth in this Article or shall be adequately
secured as provided by the laws of the State.
All moneys held in the Funds and Accounts shall be kept separate and
apart from all other funds of the Issuer so that there shall be no commingling
with any other funds of the Issuer.
Moneys held in any Fund or Account may be invested in accordance with this Note Resolution and the Federal Tax Certificate in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that no such investment shall be made for a period extending longer than to the date when the moneys invested may be needed for the purpose for which such fund was created. All earnings on any investments held in any Fund or Account shall accrue to and become a part of such Fund or Account; provided that, during the period of construction of the Improvements, earnings on the investment of such funds may be credited to the Debt Service Account.
The provisions of the Note Resolution, including the covenants and
agreements herein contained, shall constitute a contract between the Issuer and
the Owners of the Notes. If an Event of
Default occurs and shall be continuing, the Owner or Owners of not less than
10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall have the
right for the equal benefit and protection of all Owners of Notes similarly
situated:
(a) by mandamus or other suit, action or
proceedings at law or in equity to enforce the rights of such Owner or Owners
against the Issuer and its officers, agents and employees, and to require and
compel duties and obligations required by the provisions of the Note Resolution
or by the Constitution and laws of the State;
(b) by suit, action or other proceedings in
equity or at law to require the Issuer, its officers, agents and employees to
account as if they were the trustees of an express trust; and
(c) by suit, action or other proceedings in
equity or at law to enjoin any acts or things which may be unlawful or in
violation of the rights of the Owners of the Notes.
The covenants and agreements of the Issuer contained herein and in the
Notes shall be for the equal benefit, protection, and security of the Owners of
any or all of the Notes, all of which Notes shall be of equal rank and without
preference or priority of one Note over any other Note in the application of
the funds herein pledged to the payment of the principal of and the interest on
the Notes, or otherwise, except as to rate of interest, date of maturity and
right of prior redemption as provided in this Note Resolution. No one or more Owners secured hereby shall
have any right in any manner whatever by his or their action to affect, disturb
or prejudice the security granted and provided for herein, or to enforce any
right hereunder, except in the manner herein provided, and all proceedings at
law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained for the equal benefit
of all Outstanding Notes.
No remedy conferred herein upon the Owners is intended to be exclusive
of any other remedy, but each such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
to every other remedy and may be exercised without exhausting and without
regard to any other remedy conferred herein.
No waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by the Owner of
any Note shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or
contract or shall impair any rights or remedies thereon. No delay or omission of any Owner to exercise
any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or
power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence
therein. Every substantive right and
every remedy conferred upon the Owners of the Notes by this Note Resolution may
be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. If action or proceedings
taken by any Owner on account of any default or to enforce any right or
exercise any remedy has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall
have been determined adversely to such Owner, then, and in every such case, the
Issuer and the Owners of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions
and rights hereunder, respectively, and all rights, remedies, powers and duties
of the Owners shall continue as if no such suit, action or other proceedings
had been brought or taken.
When any or all of the Notes, redemption premium, if any, or scheduled
interest payments thereon have been paid and discharged, then the requirements
contained in this Note Resolution and the pledge of the Issuer's faith and
credit hereunder and all other rights granted hereby shall terminate with
respect to the Notes or scheduled interest payments thereon so paid and
discharged. Notes, redemption premium,
if any, or scheduled interest payments thereon shall be deemed to have been
paid and discharged within the meaning of this Note Resolution if there has
been deposited with the Paying Agent, or other commercial bank or trust company
located in the State and having full trust powers, at or prior to the Stated
Maturity or Redemption Date of said Notes or the interest payments thereon, in
trust for and irrevocably appropriated thereto, moneys and/or Defeasance
Obligations which, together with the interest to be earned on any such
Defeasance Obligations, will be sufficient for the payment of the principal of
or Redemption Price of said Notes and/or interest accrued to the Stated
Maturity or Redemption Date, or if default in such payment has occurred on such
date, then to the date of the tender of such payments. Any money and Defeasance Obligations that at
any time shall be deposited with the Paying Agent or other commercial bank or
trust company by or on behalf of the Issuer, for the purpose of paying and
discharging any of the Notes, shall be and are hereby assigned, transferred and
set over to the Paying Agent or other bank or trust company in trust for the
respective Owners of the Notes, and such moneys shall be and are hereby
irrevocably appropriated to the payment and discharge thereof. All money and Defeasance Obligations
deposited with the Paying Agent or such bank or trust company shall be deemed
to be deposited in accordance with and subject to all of the provisions of this
Note Resolution.
(a) The Issuer covenants and agrees that (1)
it will comply with all applicable provisions of the Code, including Code § 103
and 141 through 150, necessary to maintain the exclusion from gross income for
federal income tax purposes of the interest on the Notes and (2) it will not
use or permit the use of any proceeds of Notes or any other funds of the
Issuer, and will not take or permit any other action, or fail to take any
action, if any such use, action or failure to take action would adversely
affect the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Notes. The Issuer will, in addition, adopt such
other ordinances or resolutions and take such other actions as may be necessary
to comply with the Code and with all other applicable future laws, regulations,
published rulings and judicial decisions, in order to ensure that the interest
on the Notes will remain excluded from federal gross income, to the extent any
such actions can be taken by the Issuer.
(b) The Issuer covenants and agrees that (1)
it will use the proceeds of the Notes as soon as practicable and with all
reasonable dispatch for the purposes for which the Notes are issued, and (2) it
will not invest or directly or indirectly use or permit the use of any proceeds
of the Notes or any other funds of the Issuer in any manner, or take or omit to
take any action, that would cause the Notes to be "arbitrage bonds" within
the meaning of Code § 148(a).
(c) The Issuer covenants and agrees that it
will not use any portion of the proceeds of the Notes, including any investment
income earned on such proceeds, directly or indirectly, in a manner (1) that
would cause any Note to be a "private activity bond" within the
meaning of Code § 141(a), or (2) to make or finance a loan to any Person other
than the State or a political subdivision thereof.
(d) The Issuer covenants and agrees to
comply with all provisions of the Federal Tax Certificate, which is
incorporated herein by reference.
The Issuer covenants
and agrees that it will pay or provide for the payment from time to time all
amounts required to be rebated to the United States pursuant to Code § 148(f)
and the Federal Tax Certificate. This
covenant shall survive payment in full or defeasance of the Notes. The Federal
Tax Certificate may be amended or replaced if, in the opinion of Bond Counsel
such amendment or replacement will not adversely affect the exclusion from
gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Notes.
The covenants contained in this Article shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding the defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Article VII hereof or any other
provision of this Note Resolution until the final maturity date of all Notes
Outstanding.
The Issuer hereby covenants with the Purchaser and the Beneficial Owners
to provide and disseminate such information as is required by the SEC Rule and
as further set forth in the Disclosure Instructions, which are incorporated
herein by reference. Such covenant shall
be for the benefit of and enforceable by the Purchaser and the Beneficial
Owners.
In the event the Issuer fails to comply in a timely manner with its
covenants contained in the preceding section, the Purchaser and/or any
Beneficial Owner may make demand for such compliance by written notice to the
Issuer. In the event the Issuer does not
remedy such noncompliance within 10 days of receipt of such written notice, the
Purchaser or any Beneficial Owner may in its discretion, without notice or
demand, proceed to enforce compliance by a suit or suits in equity for the
specific performance of such covenant or agreement contained in the preceding
section or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable
remedy, as the Purchaser and/or any Beneficial Owner shall deem effectual to
protect and enforce any of the duties of the Issuer under such preceding
section.
Annually, promptly after the end of the Fiscal Year, the Issuer will
cause an audit to be made of the financial statements of the Issuer for the
preceding Fiscal Year by an Independent Accountant. The audit report shall contain a statement
regarding the Issuer's compliance with the arbitrage rebate covenants contained
in Section 802 hereof and the covenants regarding continuing
disclosure contained in Section 901 hereof and the Continuing
Disclosure Instructions. Within 30 days
after the completion of each such audit, a copy thereof shall be filed in the
office of the Clerk, and a duplicate copy of the audit shall be mailed to the
Purchaser. Such audit shall at all times
during the usual business hours be open to the examination and inspection by
any taxpayer, any Owner of any of the Notes, or by anyone acting for or on
behalf of such taxpayer or Owner. Upon
payment of the reasonable cost of preparing and mailing the same, a copy of any
annual audit will, upon request, be sent to any Owner or prospective
Owner. As soon as possible after the
completion of the annual audit, the governing body of the Issuer shall review
such audit, and if the audit discloses that proper provision has not been made
for all of the requirements of this Note Resolution, the Issuer shall promptly
cure such deficiency.
The rights and duties of the Issuer and the Owners, and the terms and
provisions of the Notes or of this Note Resolution, may be amended or modified
at any time in any respect by resolution of the Issuer with the written consent
of the Owners of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes then
Outstanding, such consent to be evidenced by an instrument or instruments
executed by such Owners and duly acknowledged or proved in the manner of a deed
to be recorded, and such instrument or instruments shall be filed with the
Clerk, but no such modification or alteration shall:
(a) extend the maturity of any payment of
principal or interest due upon any Note;
(b) effect a reduction in the amount which
the Issuer is required to pay as principal of or interest on any Note;
(c) permit preference or priority of any
Note over any other Note; or
(d) reduce the percentage in principal
amount of Notes required for the written consent to any modification or
alteration of the provisions of this Note Resolution.
Any provision of the
Notes or of this Note Resolution may, however, be amended or modified by
resolution duly adopted by the governing body of the Issuer at any time in any
legal respect with the written consent of the Owners of all of the Notes at the
time Outstanding.
Without notice to or
the consent of any Owners, the Issuer may amend or supplement this Note
Resolution for the purpose of curing any formal defect, omission, inconsistency
or ambiguity herein, to grant to or confer upon the Owners any additional
rights, remedies, powers or authority that may lawfully be granted to or
conferred upon the Owners, to more precisely identify the Improvements, to
conform this Note Resolution to the Code or future applicable federal law
concerning tax-exempt obligations, or in connection with any other change
therein which is not materially adverse to the interests of the Owners.
Every amendment or
modification of the provisions of the Notes or of this Note Resolution, to
which the written consent of the Owners is given, as above provided, shall be
expressed in a resolution adopted by the governing body of the Issuer amending
or supplementing the provisions of this Note Resolution and shall be deemed to
be a part of this Note Resolution. A
certified copy of every such amendatory or supplemental resolution, if any, and
a certified copy of this Note Resolution shall always be kept on file in the
office of the Clerk, and shall be made available for inspection by the Owner of
any Note or a prospective purchaser or owner of any Note authorized by this
Note Resolution, and upon payment of the reasonable cost of preparing the same,
a certified copy of any such amendatory or supplemental resolution or of this
Note Resolution will be sent by the Clerk to any such Owner or prospective
Owner.
Any and all modifications
made in the manner hereinabove provided shall not become effective until there
has been filed with the Clerk a copy of the resolution of the Issuer
hereinabove provided for, duly certified, as well as proof of any required
consent to such modification by the Owners of the Notes then Outstanding. It shall not be necessary to note on any of
the Outstanding Notes any reference to such amendment or modification.
The Issuer shall
furnish to the Paying Agent a copy of any amendment to the Notes or this Note
Resolution which affects the duties or obligations of the Paying Agent under
this Note Resolution.
Any notice, consent, request, direction, approval or other instrument to
be signed and executed by the Owners may be in any number of concurrent
writings of similar tenor and may be signed or executed by such Owners in
person or by agent appointed in writing.
Proof of the execution of any such instrument or of the writing
appointing any such agent and of the ownership of Notes, if made in the
following manner, shall be sufficient for any of the purposes of this Note
Resolution, and shall be conclusive in favor of the Issuer and the Paying Agent
with regard to any action taken, suffered or omitted under any such instrument,
namely:
(a) The fact and date of the execution by
any person of any such instrument may be proved by a certificate of any officer
in any jurisdiction who by law has power to take acknowledgments within such
jurisdiction that the person signing such instrument acknowledged before such
officer the execution thereof, or by affidavit of any witness to such
execution.
(b) The fact of ownership of Notes, the
amount or amounts, numbers and other identification of Notes, and the date of
holding the same shall be proved by the Note Register.
In determining whether
the Owners of the requisite principal amount of Notes Outstanding have given
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under
this Note Resolution, Notes owned by the Issuer shall be disregarded and deemed
not to be Outstanding under this Note Resolution, except that, in determining
whether the Owners shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes which the
Owners know to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes so owned
which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded as aforesaid if
the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Owners the pledgee's right
so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer.
Any notice, request, complaint, demand or other communication required
or desired to be given or filed under this Note Resolution shall be in writing,
given to the Notice Representative at the Notice Address and shall be deemed
duly given or filed if the same shall be:
(a) duly mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; or (b)
communicated via fax, with electronic or telephonic confirmation of
receipt. Copies of such notices shall
also be given to the Paying Agent. The
Issuer, the Paying Agent and the Purchaser may from time to time designate, by
notice given hereunder to the others of such parties, such other address to
which subsequent notices, certificates or other communications shall be sent.
All notices given
by: (a) certified or registered mail as
aforesaid shall be deemed duly given as of the date they are so mailed; (b) fax
as aforesaid shall be deemed duly given as of the date of confirmation of
receipt. If, because of the temporary or permanent suspension of regular mail
service or for any other reason, it is impossible or impractical to mail any
notice in the manner herein provided, then such other form of notice as shall
be made with the approval of the Paying Agent shall constitute a sufficient
notice.
The issuance of the Notes and the transactions related thereto and
described herein may be conducted and documents may be stored by electronic
means.
The officers and officials of the Issuer, including the Mayor and Clerk, are hereby authorized and
directed to execute all documents and take such actions as they may deem
necessary or advisable in order to carry out and perform the purposes of this
Note Resolution and to make ministerial alterations, changes or additions in
the foregoing agreements, statements, instruments and other documents herein
approved, authorized and confirmed which they may approve, and the execution or
taking of such action shall be conclusive evidence of such necessity or
advisability.
If any section or other part of this Note Resolution, whether large or
small, is for any reason held invalid, the invalidity thereof shall not affect
the validity of the other provisions of this Note Resolution.
This Note Resolution shall be governed exclusively by and construed in
accordance with the applicable laws of the State.
This Note Resolution shall take effect and be in full force from and
after its passage by the governing body of the Issuer.
