Sinking fund redemption payments shall be made in a principal amount equal to such serial maturities, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, but without premium or penalty. For all purposes of this resolution, such mandatory sinking fund redemption payments shall be deemed to be required payments of principal which mature on the date of such sinking fund payments. Appropriate changes shall be made in the definitive form of 2015 Bonds, relative to the form of 2015 Bonds contained in this resolution, to reflect any mandatory sinking fund redemption terms. (b) Source of Payment.

All payments of interest on the 2015 Bonds shall be paid by check mailed one business day prior to the interest payment date to the registered owners thereof as of the first (1st) day of the month in which interest is payable (the "Record Date") at the addresses as they appear on the registration and transfer books of the Commission kept for that purpose by the Registrar (the "Registration Record") or at such other address as is provided to the Paying Agent (as defined in Section 5 hereof) in writing by such registered owner. Each registered owner of $1,000,000 or more in principal amount of 2015 Bonds shall be entitled to receive interest payments by wire transfer by providing written wire instructions to the Paying Agent before the Record Date for any payment. All principal payments and premium payments, if any, on the 2015 Bonds shall be made upon surrender thereof at the principal office of the Paying Agent, in any U.S. coin or currency which on the date of such payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, or in the case of a registered owner of $1,000,000 or more in principal amount of 2015 Bonds, by wire transfer on the due date upon written direction of such owner provided at least fifteen (15) days prior to the maturity date or redemption date.

(d) Transfer and Exchange. Each 2015 Bond shall be transferable or exchangeable only upon the Registration Record, by the registered owner thereof in writing, or by the registered owner's attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender of such 2015 Bond together with a written instrument of transfer or exchange satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the registered owner or such attorney, and thereupon a new fully registered 2015 Bond or Bonds in the same aggregate principal amount, and of the same maturity, shall be executed and delivered in the name of the transferee or transferees or the registered owner, as the case may be, in exchange therefor. The costs of such transfer or exchange shall be borne by the Commission, except for any tax or governmental charges required to be paid in connection therewith, which shall be payable by the person requesting such transfer or exchange.

(e) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. In the event any 2015 Bond is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Unit may execute and the Registrar may authenticate a new bond of like date, maturity and denomination as that mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, which new bond shall be marked in a manner to distinguish it from the bond for which it was issued, provided that, in the case of any mutilated bond, such mutilated bond shall first be surrendered to the Registrar, and in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed bond there shall be first furnished to the Registrar evidence of such loss, theft or destruction satisfactory to the Fiscal Officer and the Registrar, together with indemnity satisfactory to them.

The Unit 4 and the Registrar may charge the owner of such 2015 Bond with their reasonable fees and expenses in this connection. Any 2015 Bond issued pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed an original, substitute contractual obligation of the Unit, acting for and on behalf of the District, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed 2015 Bond shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this resolution, equally and proportionately with any and all other 2015 Bonds issued hereunder.

The notice shall specify the date and place of redemption, the redemption price and the CUSIP numbers (if any) of the 2015 Bonds called for redemption. The place of redemption may be determined by the Commission. Interest on the 2015 Bonds so called for redemption shall cease on the redemption date fixed in such notice if sufficient funds are available at the place of redemption to pay the redemption price on the date so named, and thereafter, such 2015 Bonds shall no longer be protected by this resolution and shall not be deemed to be outstanding hereunder, and the holders thereof shall have the right only to receive the redemption price.

Any bids for the 2015 Bonds shall be sealed and shall be presented to the Fiscal Officer or its designee in accord with the terms set forth in the sale notice. Bidders for the 2015 Bonds shall be required to name the rate or rates of interest which the 2015 Bonds are to bear, which shall be the same for all 2015 Bonds maturing on the same date and the interest rate bid on any 12 maturity of 2015 Bonds must be no less than the interest rate bid on any and all prior maturities, not exceeding eight percent (8.00%) per annum. The Fiscal Officer shall award the 2015 Bonds to the bidder who offers the lowest interest cost, to be determined by computing the total interest on all the 2015 Bonds to their maturities and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any, or adding thereto the amount of the discount, if any. No bid for less than ninety-eight percent (98%) of the par value of the 2015 Bonds, plus accrued interest, shall be considered. The Fiscal Officer may require that all bids be accompanied by certified or cashier's checks payable to the order of the Commission, or a surety bond, in an amount not to exceed one percent of the aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Bonds as a guaranty of the performance of said bid, should it be accepted. In the event no satisfactory bids are received on the day named in the sale notice, the sale may be continued from day to day thereafter for a period of thirty (30) days without re-advertisement; provided, however, that if said sale is continued, no bid shall be accepted which offers an interest cost which is equal to or higher than the best bid received at the time fixed for sale in the bond sale notice. The Fiscal Officer shall have full right to reject any and all bids. If the 2015 Bonds are sold by negotiated sale, the President of the Commission is authorized to negotiate and execute a bond purchase agreement with the selected purchaser on terms recommended by the Commission's financial advisor, consistent with the parameters set forth in this Resolution. After the 2015 Bonds have been properly sold and executed, the Fiscal Officer shall receive from the purchasers payment for the 2015 Bonds and shall provide for delivery of the 2015 Bonds to the purchasers. In connection with the sale of the 2015 Bonds, the Executive and the Fiscal Officer and the officers of the Commission are each authorized to take such actions and to execute and deliver such agreements and instruments as they deem advisable to obtain a rating and/or to obtain bond insurance for the 2015 Bonds, and the taking of such actions and the execution and delivery of such agreements and instruments are hereby approved. The Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized and directed to obtain a legal opinion as to the validity of the 2015 Bonds from Barnes & Thornburg LLP, and to furnish such opinion to the purchasers of the 2015 Bonds or to cause a copy of said legal opinion to be printed on each 2015 Bond. The cost of such opinion shall be paid out of the proceeds of the 2015 Bonds. SECTION 8. Funds and Accounts. (a) Use of Bond Proceeds; Project Fund. Any accrued interest and capitalized interest received at the time of delivery of the 2015 Bonds will be deposited to the Revenues Account of the Bond Fund as defined below and applied to payments on the 2015 Bonds on the first interest payment date. The remaining proceeds received from the sale of the 2015 Bonds shall be deposited in the fund hereby created and designated as the "City of Carmel Redevelopment District Project Fund" (the "Project Fund"), which shall consist of an account created and designated as the "2015 Construction Account" (the "Construction Account"). Net proceeds (after funding any required reserve account) of any series of 2015 Bonds issued to finance the Project shall be deposited in the Construction Account, together with all investment 13 earnings thereon, shall be expended by the Commission only for the purpose of paying expenses incurred in connection with the Project and on account of the sale and issuance of such series of the 2015 Bonds. Any balance remaining in the Construction Account after the completion of the Project which is not required to meet unpaid obligations incurred in connection therewith and on account of the sale and issuance of the 2015 Bonds may be used to pay debt service on the 2015 Bonds or otherwise used as permitted by law. (b) Bond Fund. (i) There is hereby created a separate fund, designated as the "City of Carmel Redevelopment District Bond Fund" (the "Bond Fund"), which shall consist of an account created and designated as the "Special Tax Account" (the "Special Tax Account"), an account created and designated as the "Revenues Account" (the "Revenues Account"), and (if necessary), an account created and designated as the "Debt Service Reserve Account" (the "Reserve Account"). Funds deposited into the Bond Fund shall be applied to the payment of the principal of and interest on the 2015 Bonds, and all other bonds payable from the Special Tax and/or other revenues of the Commission as contemplated hereby, and to no other purpose not allowed under Ind. Code § 36-7-14-27. As the Special Tax is collected, it shall be deposited and accumulated in the Special Tax Account. (ii) If at the time of the sale of any series of the 2015 Bonds it is determined by the President of the Commission, with the advice of the Commission's financial advisor, to establish a Reserve Account for such series of the 2015 Bonds, then the Reserve Account, with appropriate series designation for such series of 2015 Bonds, shall be established, and there shall be set aside from the proceeds of such series of 2015 Bonds and deposited in the Reserve Account an amount of money that shall be required to maintain the Reserve Account in the full amount of the Debt Service Reserve Requirement (as defined below). No deposit need be made in the Reserve Account so long as there shall be on deposit therein a sum equal to the amount determined by the financial advisor to be required to adequately secure that series of the 2015 Bonds (the "Debt Service Reserve Requirement"). All money in the Reserve Account shall be used and withdrawn by the District solely for the purpose of making deposits into the Revenues Account, in the event of any deficiency at any time in such account and the Special Tax Account, or for the purpose of paying the interest on or principal of or redemption premiums, if any, on the 2015 Bonds, in the event that no other money is lawfully available therefor. Any amount in the Reserve Account in excess of the Debt Service Reserve Requirement shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account and deposited in the Revenues Account. Money in the Reserve Account shall also be available to make the final payments of interest and principal on the 2015 Bonds. The Commission at its option may satisfy any Debt Service Reserve Required with a surety bond, letter of credit or other financial instrument on terms and conditions recommended by the Commission's financial advisor. SECTION 9. Reduction of Special Tax Levy and Pledge of Certain Other Revenues. The amount of the levy under Ind. Code § 36-7-14-27 each year of the Special Tax applicable to making payments on the 2015 Bonds as set forth in the budget of the Commission formulated pursuant to Ind. Code § 36-7-14-28 shall be reduced, as provided in Ind. Code § 36-7-14-27, by available revenues of the Commission to the extent such revenues have been set aside and designated by the Commission for such purpose in the Revenues Account. The Commission reasonably expects to pay debt service on the 2015 Bonds from available revenues of the Commission, including tax increment revenues, deposited in the Revenues Account. The 14 Commission hereby covenants to levy the Special Tax each year payments are due with respect to the 2015 Bonds to the extent the revenues of the Commission described herein are not sufficient (a) to timely pay the principal of and interest on the 2015 Bonds, and (b) to replenish any deficiency in the Reserve Account to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement, if a Reserve Account and Debt Service Reserve Requirement are established. Any officer of the Commission is authorized to enter into such agreements or undertakings as such officer deems necessary or appropriate to further effectuate such pledge of the Special Tax hereunder. The amounts reasonably expected to be available and so designated in the Revenues Account of the Bond Fund shall be determined at the time the budget and tax levy for a given year is finally fixed, and such amounts shall be used for no purpose except as contemplated above and are hereby pledged by the Commission when deposited into the Revenues Account to the payment of the 2015 Bonds, such pledge being effective as set forth in Ind. Code § 5-1-14-4 without the necessity of filing or recording this resolution or any other instrument except in the records of the Commission. If necessary in order to facilitate the deposit of certain tax increment revenues into the Revenues Account, the President or Vice President of the Commission are hereby authorized to execute, and the Secretary of the Commission is authorized to attest, a revenue deposit agreement, in a form and substance acceptable to the officers of the Commission executing the same, based upon the advice of counsel to the Commission, with such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution thereof by such officers of the Commission. SECTION 10. Defeasance. If, when the 2015 Bonds or any portion thereof shall have become due and payable in accordance with their terms or shall have been duly called for redemption or irrevocable instructions to call the 2015 Bonds or any portion thereof for redemption have been given, and the whole amount of the principal, premium, if any, and the interest so due and payable upon such bonds or any portion thereof then outstanding shall be paid, or (i) cash, or (ii) direct non-callable obligations of or unconditionally guaranteed by (including obligations issued or held in book entry form on the books of) the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and to the extent permitted by Indiana law and by each rating agency maintaining a rating on the 2015 Bonds, Refcorp interest strips, CATS, TIGRS, STRPS, defeased municipal bonds or other investments rated in the highest category for such obligations by Standard & Poor's Corporation or Moody's Investors Service (or any combination thereof), the principal of and the interest on which when due without reinvestment will provide sufficient money, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, shall be held irrevocably in trust for such purpose, and provision shall also be made for paying all fees and expenses for the payment, then and in that case the 2015 Bonds or such designated portion thereof shall no longer be deemed outstanding or secured by this resolution. SECTION 11. Tax Matters. In order to preserve the exclusion of interest on any series of the 2015 Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes and as an inducement to purchasers of any such series of the 2015 Bonds, the Commission represents, covenants and agrees that: (a) No person or entity, other than the District or another state or local governmental unit, will use proceeds of any such series of the 2015 Bonds or 15 property financed by any such series of the 2015 Bond proceeds other than as a member of the general public. No person or entity other than the District or another state or local governmental unit will own property financed by any such series of the 2015 Bond proceeds or will have actual or beneficial use of such property pursuant to a lease, a management or incentive payment contract, an arrangement such as take-or-pay or output contract, or any other type of arrangement that differentiates that person's or entity's use of such property from the use by the public at large. (b) No proceeds of any such series of the 2015 Bonds will be loaned to any entity or person other than a state or local governmental unit. No proceeds of any such series of the 2015 Bonds will be transferred, directly or indirectly, or deemed transferred to a non-governmental person in any manner that would in substance constitute a loan of the proceeds of any such series of the 2015 Bonds. (c) The Commission and the Unit will not take any action or fail to take any action with respect to any such series of the 2015 Bonds that would result in the loss of the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on any such series of the 2015 Bonds pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations thereunder as applicable to such series of the 2015 Bonds, including, without limitation, the taking of such action as is necessary to rebate or cause to be rebated arbitrage profits on the proceeds of such series of the 2015 Bonds, or other monies treated as proceeds of such series of the 2015 Bonds, to the federal government as provided in Section 148 of the Code, and will set aside such monies, which may be paid from investment income on funds and accounts notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, in trust for such purposes. (d) The Unit will file an information report on Form 8038-G with the Internal Revenue Service as required by Section 149 of the Code, in connection with any such series of the 2015 Bonds. (e) The Commission and the Unit will not make any investment or do any other act or thing during the period that any such series of the 2015 Bonds are outstanding hereunder which would cause any of such series of the 2015 Bonds to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the regulations thereunder as applicable to such series of the 2015 Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this resolution, the foregoing covenants and authorizations (the "Tax Sections") which are designed to preserve the exclusion of interest on a series of the 2015 Bonds from gross income under federal income tax law (the "Tax Exemption") need not be complied with to the extent the Unit receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that compliance with such Tax Section is unnecessary to preserve the Tax Exemption on such series of the 2015 Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal tax purposes under Section 103 of the Code. 16 Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution to the contrary, the Unit may elect to issue a series of the 2015 Bonds the interest on which is not excludable from gross income for federal tax purposes, so long as such election does not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of interest for federal tax purposes on any other series of the 2015 Bonds, by making such election on the date of delivery of such series of the 2015 Bonds. In such case, the Tax Sections in this resolution shall not apply to such series of the 2015 Bonds. SECTION 12. Amendments. Subject to the terms and provisions contained in this section, and not otherwise, the owners of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) in aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Bonds then outstanding shall have the right, from time to time, to consent to and approve the adoption by the Commission of such resolution or resolutions supplemental hereto as shall be deemed necessary or desirable by the Commission for the purpose of amending in any particular any of the terms or provisions contained in this resolution, or in any supplemental resolution; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall permit or be construed as permitting: (a) An extension of the maturity of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any 2015 Bond or an advancement of the earliest redemption date on any 2015 Bond, without the consent of the holder of each 2015 Bond so affected; or (b) A reduction in the principal amount of any 2015 Bond or the redemption premium or rate of interest thereon, or a change in the monetary medium in which such amounts are payable, without the consent of the holder of each 2015 Bond so affected; or (c) A preference or priority of any 2015 Bond over any other 2015 Bond, without the consent of the holders of all 2015 Bonds then outstanding; or (d) A reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Bonds required for consent to such supplemental resolution, without the consent of the holders of all 2015 Bonds then outstanding. If the Commission shall desire to obtain any such consent, it shall cause the Registrar to mail a notice, postage prepaid, to the addresses appearing on the Registration Record. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed supplemental resolution and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at the office of the Registrar for inspection by all owners of the 2015 Bonds. The Registrar shall not, however, be subject to any liability to any owners of the 2015 Bonds by reason of its failure to mail such notice, and any such failure shall not affect the validity of such supplemental resolution when consented to and approved as herein provided. Whenever at any time within one year after the date of the mailing of such notice, the Commission shall receive any instrument or instruments purporting to be executed by the owners of the 2015 Bonds of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds per cent (66-2/3%) in aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Bonds then outstanding, which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed supplemental resolution described in such notice, and shall specifically consent to and approve the adoption thereof in substantially the form of the copy thereof referred 17 to in such notice as on file with the Registrar, thereupon, but not otherwise, the Commission may adopt such supplemental resolution in substantially such form, without liability or responsibility to any owners of the 2015 Bonds, whether or not such owners shall have consented thereto. No owner of any 2015 Bond shall have any right to object to the adoption of such supplemental resolution or to object to any of the terms and provisions contained therein or the operation thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the adoption thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the Commission or its officers from adopting the same, or from taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof. Upon the adoption of any supplemental resolution pursuant to the provisions of this section, this resolution shall be, and shall be deemed, modified and amended in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, duties and obligations under this resolution of the Commission and the Unit and all owners of 2015 Bonds then outstanding shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced in accordance with this resolution, subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments. Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this resolution, the rights, duties and obligations of the Commission and the Unit and of the owners of the 2015 Bonds, and the terms and provisions of the 2015 Bonds and this resolution, or any supplemental resolution, may be modified or amended in any respect with the consent of the Commission and the consent of the owners of all the 2015 Bonds then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of the owners of the 2015 Bonds, the Commission may, from time to time and at any time, adopt such resolutions supplemental hereto as shall not be inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof (which supplemental resolutions shall thereafter form a part hereof), (a) To cure any ambiguity or formal defect or omission in this resolution or in any supplemental resolution; or (b) To grant to or confer upon the owners of the 2015 Bonds any additional rights, remedies, powers, authority or security that may lawfully be granted to or conferred upon the owners of the 2015 Bonds; or (c) To procure a rating on the 2015 Bonds from a nationally recognized securities rating agency designated in such supplemental resolution, if such supplemental resolution will not adversely affect the owners of the 2015 Bonds; or (d) To obtain or maintain bond insurance with respect to the 2015 Bonds; or (e) To provide for the current refunding or advance refunding of the 2015 Bonds; or (f) To make any other change which, in the determination of the Commission in its sole discretion, is not to the prejudice of the owners of the 2015 Bonds. 18 SECTION 13. Approval of Official Statement and Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. If required in order to comply with the requirements of the SEC Rule (defined below), the Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized to deem final an official statement with respect to the 2015 Bonds, as of its date, in accordance with the provisions of Rule 15c2-12 of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended (the "SEC Rule"), subject to completion as permitted by the SEC Rule, and the Commission further authorizes the distribution of the deemed final official statement, and the execution, delivery and distribution of such document as further modified and amended with the approval of the Fiscal Officer in the form of a final official statement. In order to assist any underwriter of the 2015 Bonds in complying with paragraph (b)(5) of the SEC Rule by undertaking to make available appropriate disclosure about the Commission and the Unit and the 2015 Bonds to participants in the municipal securities market, the Commission hereby covenants, agrees and undertakes, in accordance with the SEC Rule, unless excluded from the applicability of the SEC Rule or otherwise exempted from the provisions of paragraph (b)(5) of the SEC Rule, that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Contract.
