132 thereon shall have been so executed. The Bonds shall, subject to the provisions hereof for
133 registration, in the hands of bona fide holders, be negotiable under the laws of the State of
134 Indiana.
135 (i) The City has determined that it may be beneficial to the City to have the Bonds
136 held by a central depository system pursuant to an agreement between the City and The
137 Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("Depository Trust Company") and have
138 transfers of the Bonds effected by book -entry on the books of the central depository system
139 ("Book Entry System"). The Bonds may be initially issued in the form of a separate single

141 of the Bonds. In such case, upon initial issuance, the ownership of such Bonds shall be
142 registered in the register kept by the Registrar in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the
143 Depository Trust Company.
144 With respect to the Bonds registered in the register kept by the Registrar in the name of
145 CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company, the City and the Paying Agent
146 shall have no responsibility or obligation to any other holders or owners (including any
147 beneficial owner (`Beneficial Owner")) of the Bonds with respect to (i) the accuracy of the
148 records of the Depository Trust Company, CEDE & CO., or any Beneficial Owner with respect
149 to ownership questions, (ii) the delivery to any bondholder (including any Beneficial Owner) or
150 any other person, other than the Depository Trust Company, of any notice with respect to the
151 Bonds including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any bondholder (including any
152 Beneficial Owner) or any other person, other than the Depository Trust Company, of any amount
153 with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds except as otherwise
154 provided herein.
155 No person other than the Depository Trust Company shall receive an authenticated Bond
156 evidencing an obligation of the City to make payments of the principal of and premium, if any,
157 and interest on the Bonds pursuant to this resolution. The City and the Registrar and Paying
158 Agent may treat as and deem the Depository Trust Company or CEDE & CO. to be the absolute
159 bondholder of each of the Bonds for the purpose of (i) payment of the principal of and premium,
160 if any, and interest on such Bonds; (ii) giving notices of redemption and other notices permitted
161 to be given to bondholders with respect to such Bonds; (iii) registering transfers with respect to
162 such Bonds; (iv) obtaining any consent or other action required or permitted to be taken of or by
163 bondholders; (v) voting; and (vi) for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying Agent shall pay
164 all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the
165 Depository Trust Company, and all such payments shall be valid and effective fully to satisfy
166 and discharge the City's and the Paying Agent's obligations with respect to principal of and
C!
167 premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. Upon
168 delivery by the Depository Trust Company to the City of written notice to the effect that the
169 Depository Trust Company has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of CEDE &
170 CO., and subject to the provisions herein with respect to consents, the words "CEDE & CO." in
171 this resolution- shall refer to such new nominee of the Depository Trust Company.
172 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in
173 the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company, all payments with
174 respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Bonds and all notices with
175 respect to such Bonds shall be made and given, respectively, to the Depository Trust Company
176 as provided in a representation letter from the City to the Depository Trust Company.
177 Upon receipt by the City of written notice from the Depository Trust Company to the
178 effect that the Depository Trust Company is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities
179 and no substitute depository willing to undertake the functions of the Depository Trust Company
180 hereunder can be found which is willing and able to undertake such functions upon reasonable
181 and customary terms, then the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the
182 register of the City kept by the Registrar in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the
183 Depository Trust Company, but maybe registered in whatever name or names the bondholders
184 transferring or exchanging the Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this
185 resolution.
186 If the City determines that it is in the best interest of the bondholders that they be able to
187 obtain certificates for the fully registered Bonds, the City may notify the Depository Trust
188 Company and the Registrar, whereupon the Depository Trust Company will notify the Beneficial
189 Owners of the availability through the Depository Trust Company of certificates for the Bonds.
190 In such event, the Registrar shall prepare, authenticate, transfer and exchange certificates for the
191 Bonds as requested by the Depository Trust Company and any Beneficial Owners in appropriate
192 amounts, and whenever the Depository Trust Company requests the City and the Registrar to do
193 so, the Registrar and the City will cooperate with the Depository Trust Company by taking
194 appropriate action after reasonable notice (i) to make available one or more separate certificates
195 evidencing the fully registered Bonds of any Beneficial Owner's Depository Trust Company
196 account or (ii) to arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates for
197 and evidencing the Bonds.
198 If the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of the
199 Depository Trust Company, the Registrar shall cause said Bonds to be printed in blank in such
200 number as the Registrar shall determine to be necessary or customary; provided, however, that
201 the Registrar shall not be required to have such Bonds printed until it shall have received from
202 the City indemnification for all costs and expenses associated with such printing.
203 In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to bondholders by
204 the City or the Registrar with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by bondholders,
205 the City or the Registrar, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for such consent or
206 other action and give the Depository Trust Company notice of such record date not less than
207 fifteen (15) calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible.
5
208 So long as said Bonds are registered in the name of the Depository Trust Company or
209 CEDE & CO. or any substitute nominee, the City and the Registrar and Paying Agent shall be
210 entitled to request and to rely upon a certificate or other written representation from the
211 Beneficial Owners of the Bonds or from the Depository Trust Company on behalf of such
212 Beneficial Owners stating the amount of their respective beneficial ownership interests in the
213 Bonds and setting forth the consent, advice, direction, demand or vote of the Beneficial Owners
214 as of a record date selected by the Registrar and the Depository Trust Company, to the same
215 extent as if such consent, advice, direction, demand or vote were made by the bondholders for
216 purposes of this resolution and the City and the Registrar and Paying Agent shall for such
217 purposes treat the Beneficial Owners as the bondholders. Along with any such certificate or
218 representation, the Registrar may request the Depository Trust Company to deliver, or cause to
219 be delivered, to the Registrar a list of all Beneficial Owners of the Bonds, together with the
220 dollar amount of each Beneficial Owner's interest in the Bonds and the current addresses of such
221 Beneficial Owners.
222 Section 3. Redemption of Bonds. The Bonds may be called for redemption at the
223 option of the City no sooner than seven years after the original date of the Bonds, and on any
224 date thereafter, on thirty (30) days' notice, in whole or in part, in the order and amounts of
225 maturity determined by the City and by lot within a maturity, at face value, together with a
226 premium (if any) not to exceed 1.00% plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. The
227 exact redemption provisions shall be established by the Clerk -Treasurer, with the advice of the
228 City's financial advisor prior to the sale of the Bonds.
229 If any Bond is issued as a term bond, the Registrar shall credit against the mandatory
230 sinking fund requirement for the Bonds maturing as term bonds, and corresponding mandatory
231 redemption obligation, in the order determined by the City, any term bonds maturing on the same
232 date which have previously been redeemed (otherwise than as a result of a previous mandatory
233 redemption requirement) or delivered to the Registrar for cancellation or purchased for
234 cancellation by the City and not theretofore applied as a credit against any redemption
235 obligation. Each term bond so delivered or canceled shall be credited by the Registrar at 100% of
236 the principal amount thereof against the mandatory sinking fund obligation on such mandatory
237 redemption date for that term bond. Any excess of such amount shall be credited on future
238 redemption obligations, and the principal amount of that term bond to be redeemed by operation
239 of the mandatory sinking fund requirement shall be accordingly reduced.
240 If less than an entire maturity of the Bonds is called for redemption at one time, the
241 Bonds to be called shall be selected by lot by the Registrar. Each Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000)
242 principal amount shall be considered a separate Bond for purposes of optional and mandatory
243 redemption. If some Bonds are to be redeemed by optional redemption and mandatory sinking
244 fund redemption on the same date, the Registrar shall select by lot the Bonds for optional
245 redemption before selecting the Bonds by lot for the mandatory sinking fund redemption.
246 In either case, notice of redemption shall be mailed to the address of the registered owner
247 as shown on the registration records of the Registrar, as of the date which is forty-five (45) days
248 prior to the date fixed for redemption, not less than thirty (30) days prior to such redemption
249 date, unless notice is waived by the owner of the Bond or Bonds redeemed. Any notice of
250 redemption required under this section shall identify the Bonds to be redeemed including the
n
251 complete name of the Bonds, the interest rate, the issue date, the maturity date, the respective
252 CUSIP numbers (if any) and certificate numbers (and, in the case of a partial redemption, the
253 respective principal amounts to be called) and shall state (i) the date fixed for redemption, (ii) the
254 redemption price, (iii) that the Bonds called for redemption must be surrendered to collect the
255 redemption price, (iv) the address of the principal corporate trust office of the Registrar and
256 Paying Agent at which the Bonds must be surrendered together with the name and telephone
257 number of a person to contact from the office of the Registrar and Paying Agent, (v) any
258 condition precedent to such redemption, (vi) that on the date fixed for redemption, and upon the
259 satisfaction of any condition precedent described in the notice, the redemption price will be due
260 and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof and that interest on the Bonds called for
261 redemption ceases to accrue on the date fixed for redemption, and (vii) that if such condition
262 precedent is not satisfied, such notice of redemption is rescinded and of no force and effect, and
263 the principal and premium, if any, shall continue to bear interest on and after the date fixed for
264 redemption at the interest rate borne by the Bond. The place of redemption may be determined
265 by the City. Interest on the Bonds so called for redemption shall cease and the Bonds will no
266 longer be deemed outstanding under this resolution on the redemption date fixed in such notice if
267 sufficient funds are available at the place of redemption to pay the redemption price, including
268 accrued interest to the redemption date, on the date so named. Failure to give such notice by
269 mailing, or any defect in such notice, with respect to any Bond shall not affect the validity of any
270 proceedings for redemption of other Bonds.
271 If the Bonds are not presented for payment or redemption on the date fixed therefor, the
272 City may deposit in trust with the Paying Agent, an amount sufficient to pay such Bond or the
273 redemption price, as the case may be, including accrued interest to the date of such payment or
274 redemption, and thereafter the registered owner shall look only to the funds so deposited in trust
275 with the Paying Agent for payment, and the City shall have no further obligation or liability in
276 respect thereto.
277 Section 4. Covenant to Lever. Except as otherwise provided in section 9(c) of
278 this resolution, the Bonds are not a corporate obligation or indebtedness of the City, but are the
279 obligation and indebtedness of the District, as a special taxing district, and the Bonds, together
280 with interest thereon, shall be payable solely out of the special benefits tax levied on all property
281 of the District. Except as otherwise provided in section 9(c) of this resolution, the City, acting
282 through the Board, covenants that it will cause a special tax for the payment of the principal of
283 and the interest on the Bonds to be levied, collected and applied for that purpose.

358 separate Bond for purposes of optional [and mandatory] redemption. [If some Bonds are to be redeemed by optional
359 redemption and mandatory sinking fund redemption on the same date, the Registrar shall select by lot the Bonds for
360 optional redemption before selecting the Bonds by lot for the mandatory sinking fund redemption.]
361 Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the address of the registered owner as shown on the registration
362 record of the Registrar, as of the date which is forty-five (45) days prior to the date fixed for redemption, not less
363 than thirty (30) days prior to such redemption date, unless said notice is waived by the registered owner of this
364 Bond. Any notice of redemption required under this section shall identify the Bonds to be redeemed including the
365 complete name of the Bonds, the interest rate, the issue date, the maturity date, the respective CUSIP numbers (if
366 any) and certificate numbers (and, in the case of a partial redemption, the respective principal amounts to be called)
367 and shall state (i) the date fixed for redemption, (ii) the Redemption Price, (iii) that the Bonds called for redemption
368 must be surrendered to collect the Redemption Price, (iv) the address of the principal corporate trust office of the
369 Paying Agent at which the Bonds must be surrendered together with the name and telephone number of a person to
370 contact from the office of the Paying Agent, (v) any condition precedent to such redemption, (vi) that on the date
371 fixed for redemption, and upon the satisfaction of any condition precedent described in the notice, the Redemption
E
372 Price will be due and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof and that interest on the Bonds called for
373 redemption ceases to accrue on the date fixed for redemption, and (vii) that if such condition precedent is not
374 satisfied, such notice of redemption is rescinded and of no force and effect, and the principal and premium, if any,
375 shall continue to bear interest on and after the date fixed for redemption at the interest rate borne by the Bond. The
376 place of redemption may be determined by the City. Interest on the Bonds so called for redemption shall cease on
377 the redemption date fixed in such notice, if sufficient funds are available at the place of redemption to pay the
378 redemption price, including interest accrued to the redemption date, on the date so named. Failure to give such
379 notice by mailing, or any defect in such notice, with respect to any Bond shall not affect the validity of any
380 proceedings for redemption of other Bonds.
381 If this Bond shall not be presented for payment or redemption on the date fixed therefor, the City may
382 deposit in trust with the Paying. Agent, an amount sufficient to pay such Bond or the redemption price, as the case
383 may be, including accrued interest to the date of such payment or redemption, and thereafter the registered owner
384 shall look only to the funds so deposited in trust with that bank for payment, and the City shall have no further
385 obligation or liability in respect thereto.
386 The Bonds are subject to defeasance prior to redemption or payment as provided in the Resolution. THE
387 OWNER OF THIS BOND, BY THE ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY AGREES TO ALL THE TERMS AND
388 PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE RESOLUTION. The Resolution may be amended without the consent of the
389 owners of the Bonds as provided in the Resolution if the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, that
390 the amendment shall not adversely affect the owners of the Bonds.
391 This Bond is transferable or exchangeable only upon the books of the City kept for that purpose at the
392 office of the Registrar, by the registered owner hereof or by its attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender
393 of this Bond together with a written instrument of transfer or exchange satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by
394 the registered owner or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new fully registered Bond or Bonds
395 in the same aggregate principal amount and of the same maturity, shall be executed and delivered in the name of the
396 transferee or transferees or to the registered owner, as the case may be, in exchange therefor. The City and the
397 Registrar and Paying Agent may treat and consider the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute
398 owner hereof for all purposes including for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal
399 hereof and interest due hereon. The Bonds may be transferred or exchanged without cost to the owners of the Bonds
400 except for any tax or governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange, which taxes
401 or governmental charges are payable by the person requesting such transfer or exchange. The Registrar and Paying
402 Agent will not be required to (i) register, transfer or exchange any Bond during the period of 15 days next preceding
403 mailing of a notice of redemption of any Bonds, or (ii) to register, transfer or exchange any Bonds selected, called or
404 being called for redemption in whole or in part after mailing notice of such call.
405 The Bonds maturing in any one year are issuable only in fully registered form in the denomination of
406 $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof not exceeding the aggregate principal amount of the bonds maturing in such
407 year.
408 This Bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication
409 hereon shall have been duly executed by the Registrar.
410 It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things required to be done precedent
411 to and in the execution, issuance and delivery of this Bond have been done and performed in regular and due form as
412 provided by law, and this Bond and the total issue of the Bonds is within every limit of indebtedness as prescribed
413 by the constitution and laws of the State of Indiana.

452 bondholders shall be entitled to look only to the trust for payment of the Bonds.
453 Section 7. Legal Opinion. Prior to the delivery of the Bonds, the Clerk -Treasurer
454 shall obtain a legal opinion as to the validity of the Bonds from Barnes & Thornburg LLP, bond
455 counsel of Indianapolis, Indiana, and shall furnish such opinion to the purchaser of the Bonds.
456 The cost of the opinion shall be considered as part of the costs incidental to these proceedings
457 and shall be paid out of proceeds of the Bonds.
458 Section 8. Preparation and Execution of Bonds. The Clerk -Treasurer is hereby
459 authorized and directed to have Bonds prepared, and the Mayor and the Clerk -Treasurer are
460 hereby authorized and directed to execute and attest the Bonds in the form and manner herein
461 provided.
462 Section 9. Funds and Accounts; Application of Bond Proceeds; Covenant to Levy
463 Tax.
464 (a) Use of Bond Proceeds; Project Fund. Any accrued interest and capitalized
465 interest received at the time of delivery of the Bonds will be deposited to the Revenues Account
466 of the Bond Fund as defined below and applied to payments on the Bonds on the first interest
467 payment date. The remaining proceeds received from the sale of the Bonds shall be deposited in
468 the fund hereby created and designated as the "City of Carmel Storm Water District Project
469 Fund" (the "Project Fund"), which shall consist of an account created and designated as the
470 "2016 Construction Account" (the "Construction Account"). Net proceeds (after funding any
471 required reserve account, if necessary) of any series of Bonds issued to finance the Project shall
472 be deposited in the Construction Account, together with all investment earnings thereon, shall be
473 expended by the Board only for the purpose of paying expenses incurred in connection with the
474 Project and on account of the sale and issuance of such series of the Bonds. Any balance
475 remaining in the Construction Account after the completion of the Project which is not required
476 to meet unpaid obligations incurred in connection therewith and on account of the sale and
477 issuance of the Bonds may be used to pay debt service on the Bonds or otherwise used as
478 permitted by law.
479 (b) Bond Fund. (i) There is hereby created a separate fund, designated as the "City of
480 Carmel Storm Water District Bond and Interest Redemption Fund" (the "Bond Fund"), which
481 shall consist of an account created and designated as the "Special Tax Account" (the "Special
482 Tax Account"), an account created and designated as the "Revenues Account" (the "Revenues
483 Account"), and (if necessary), an account created and designated as the "Debt Service Reserve
12
484 Account" (the "Reserve Account"). Funds deposited into the Bond Fund shall be applied to the
485 payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, and all other bonds payable from the
486 special benefits tax levied pursuant to Ind. Code § 8-1.5-5-22 (the "Special Tax") and/or other
487 revenues of the District as contemplated hereby, and to no other purpose not allowed under Ind.
488 Code § 8-1.5-5-22. As the Special Tax is collected, it shall be deposited and accumulated in the
489 Special Tax Account.
490 (ii) If at the time of the sale of any series of the Bonds it is determined by the Mayor,
491 with the advice of the District's financial advisor, to establish a Reserve Account for such series
492 of the Bonds, then the Reserve Account, with appropriate series designation for such series of
493 Bonds, shall be established, and there shall be set aside from the proceeds of such series of
494 Bonds and deposited in the Reserve Account an amount of money that shall be required to
495 maintain the Reserve Account in the full amount of the Debt Service Reserve Requirement (as
496 defined below). In addition to Bond proceeds, the Reserve Account may, if needed, be funded
497 by cash on hand. No deposit need be made in the Reserve Account so long as there shall be on
498 deposit therein a sum equal to the amount determined by the financial advisor to be required to
499 adequately secure that series of the Bonds (the "Debt Service Reserve Requirement"). All
500 money in the Reserve Account shall be used and withdrawn by the District solely for the purpose
501 of making deposits into the Revenues Account, in the event of any deficiency at any time in such
502 account and the Special Tax Account, or for the purpose of paying the interest on or principal of
503 or redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds, in the event that no other money is lawfully
504 available therefor. Any amount in the Reserve Account in excess of the Debt Service Reserve
505 Requirement shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account and deposited in the Revenues
506 Account. Money in the Reserve Account shall also be available to make the final payments of
507 interest and principal on the Bonds. The District at its option may satisfy any Debt Service
508 Reserve Requirement with a surety bond, letter of credit or other financial instrument on terms
509 and conditions recommended by the District's financial advisor.
510 (c) Reduction of Special Tax LevPledge pecial Tax. The amount of the levy
511 under Ind. Code § 8-1.5-5-22 each year for the Special Tax required to make payments on the
512 Bonds as set forth in the budget of the District formulated pursuant to Ind. Code § 8-1.5-5-22(b)
513 may be reduced, as provided in Ind. Code § 8-1.5-5-22(b), by surplus revenues of the District to
514 the extent such revenues have been set aside and designated by the District for such purpose in
515 the Revenues Account. The District reasonably expects to pay debt service on the Bonds from
516 available revenues of the District, including surplus revenues of the storm water system,
517 deposited in the Revenues Account. The District hereby covenants to levy the Special Tax each
518 year payments are due with respect to the Bonds to the extent the revenues of the District
519 described herein are not sufficient (a) to timely pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds,
520 and (b) to replenish any deficiency in the Reserve Account to the Debt Service Reserve
521 Requirement, if a Reserve Account and Debt Service Reserve Requirement are established. Any
522 officer of the Board is authorized to enter into such agreements or undertakings as such officer
523 deems necessary or appropriate to further effectuate such pledge of the Special Tax hereunder.
524 The amounts reasonably expected to be available and so designated in the Revenues
525 Account of the Bond Fund shall be determined at the time the budget and tax levy for a given
526 year is finally fixed, and such amounts shall be used for no purpose except as contemplated
527 above and are hereby pledged by the Board when deposited into the Revenues Account to the
13
528 payment of the Bonds, such pledge being effective as set forth in Ind. Code § 5-1-14-4 without
529 the necessity of filing or recording this resolution or any other instrument except in the records of
530 the District.
531 If necessary in order to facilitate the deposit of certain surplus revenues into the Revenues
532 Account, the President or Vice President of the Board are hereby authorized to execute, and the
533 Secretary of the Board is authorized to attest, a revenue deposit agreement, in a form and
534 substance acceptable to the officers of the Board executing the same, based upon the advice of
535 counsel to the Board, with such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution thereof
536 by such officers of the Board.
537 Section 10. Sale of Bonds; Municipal Bond Insurance; Official Statement. (a) Except
538 as provided in subsection (d), the Bonds shall be sold at public sale. Prior to the sale of any
539 series of the Bonds at public sale, the Clerk -Treasurer shall cause to be published either (i) a
540 notice of such sale in The Noblesville Daily Times two times, at least one week apart, the first
541 publication made at least fifteen (15) days before the date of the sale and the second publication
542. being made at least three (3) days before the date of the sale, or (ii) a notice of intent to sell in
543 The Noblesville Daily Times and the Court & Commercial Record, once each week for two
544 weeks all in accordance with IC 5-1-11 and IC 5-3-1. The notice shall state the character and
545 amount of the Bonds, the maximum rates of interest thereon, the terms and conditions upon
546 which bids will be received and the sale made, and such other information as the Clerk -
547 Treasurer and the attorneys employed by the City shall deem advisable, and any summary
548 notice may contain any information deemed so advisable. The notice shall provide, among
549 other things, that the winning bidder shall provide a good faith deposit in the form of a certified
550 or cashier's check or a wire transfer in the amount equal to one percent (1%) of the principal
551 amount of the Bonds by no later than 3:30 p.m. (Carmel Time) on the next business day
552 following the award. If the successful bidder shall fail or refuse to accept delivery of the Bonds
553 and pay for the same in immediately available funds as soon as the Bonds are ready for
554 delivery, or at the time fixed in the notice, then the good faith deposit and the proceeds thereof
555 shall be the property of the City and shall be considered as its liquidated damages on account of
556 such default. The notice shall further provide that bidders for the Bonds will be required to
557 name the rate or rates of interest which the Bonds are to bear, not exceeding the maximum rate
558 fixed above, that such interest rate or rates shall be in multiples of one-eighth (1/8) or one -
559 hundredth (1/100) of one percent (1.00%). No conditional bids or bids for less than 99% of the
560 face value of the Bonds will be considered.
561 The Bonds shall be awarded by the Clerk -Treasurer to the best bidder who has submitted
562 its bid in accordance with the terms of this resolution, IC 5-1-11 and the notice of sale or notice
563 of intent to sell, as the case may be. The best bidder will be the one who offers the lowest net
564 interest cost to the City to be determined by computing the total interest on all of the Bonds to
565 their maturities and deducting there from the premium bid, if any, and adding thereto the
566 discount bid, if any. The right to reject any and all bids is hereby reserved. If an acceptable bid is
567 not received on the date of sale, the sale may be continued from day to day thereafter without
568 further advertisement for a period of thirty (30) days, during which time no bid which provides a
569 higher net interest cost to the City than the best bid received at the time of the advertised sale
570 will be considered.
14
571 (b) In the event the financial advisor to the Board certifies to the City that it would
572 be economically advantageous for the City to acquire a municipal bond insurance policy for any
573 series of the Bonds, the Board hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor and Clerk -Treasurer to
574 obtain such an insurance policy. The acquisition of a municipal bond insurance policy is hereby
575 deemed economically advantageous in the event the difference between the present value cost
576 of (a) the total debt service on the Bonds if issued without municipal bond insurance and (b) the
577 total debt service on the Bonds if issued with municipal bond insurance, is greater than the cost
578 of the premium on the municipal bond insurance policy.
579 (c) If necessary, the distribution of an Official Statement (preliminary and final) for
580 each series of the Bonds prepared by H. J. Umbaugh & Associates, LLP, on behalf of the City,
581 is hereby approved and the Mayor and the Clerk -Treasurer are authorized to execute the
582 Official Statement on behalf of the City in a form consistent with this resolution. The Mayor or
583 the Clerk -Treasurer is hereby authorized to designate the Official Statement as "nearly final"
584 for purposes of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
585 (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Resolution to the contrary and in lieu of a
586 public sale of the Bonds pursuant to this Section, the Bonds may, in the discretion of the City,
587 based upon the advice of the City's financial advisor, be sold either to the Indiana Bond Bank or
588 a local public improvement bond bank established by the City pursuant to I.C. 5-1.4 (either
589 such entity, the "Bond Bank"). In the event of such determination of sale to the Bond Bank, the
590 Bonds shall be sold to the Bond Bank in such denomination or denominations as the Bond Bank
591 may request, and pursuant to a qualified entity purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement")
592 between the City and the Bond Bank, hereby authorized to be entered into and executed by the
593 Mayor on behalf of the City, subsequent to the date of the adoption of this Resolution. Such
594 Purchase Agreement may set forth the definitive terms and conditions for such sale, but all of
595 such terms and conditions must be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Resolution,
596 including without limitation, the interest rate or rates on the Bonds which shall not exceed the
597 maximum rate of interest for the Bonds authorized pursuant to this Resolution. Bonds sold to
598 either the Bond Bank shall be accompanied by all documentation required by the Bond Bank
599 pursuant to the provisions of Indiana Code 5-1.5 or 5-1.4, as applicable, and the Purchase
600 Agreement, including, without limitation, an approving opinion of nationally recognized bond
601 counsel, certification and guarantee of signatures and certification as to no litigation pending, as
602 of the date of delivery of the Bonds to the Bond Bank, challenging the validity or issuance of
603 the Bonds. In the event the City determines to sell the Bonds to the Bond Bank, the submission
604 of an application to the Bond Bank, the entry by the City into the Purchase Agreement, and the
605 execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement on behalf of the City by the Mayor in
606 accordance with this Resolution are hereby authorized, approved and ratified.
607 Section 11. Amendments. Subject to the terms and -provisions contained in this
608 section, and not otherwise, the owners of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%)
609 in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds issued pursuant to this resolution and then
610 outstanding shall have the right from time to time, anything contained in this resolution to the
611 contrary notwithstanding, to consent to and approve the adoption by the Board of such resolution
612 or resolutions supplemental hereto or amendatory hereof, as shall be deemed necessary or
613 desirable by the Board for the purpose of modifying, altering, amending, adding to or rescinding
614 in any particular manner any of the terms or provisions contained in this resolution, or in any
15
615 supplemental resolution; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall permit or be
616 construed as permitting:
617 (a) An extension of the maturity of the principal of or interest on, or any mandatory
618 sinking fund redemption date for, any Bond issued pursuant to this resolution; or
619 (b) A reduction in the principal amount of any Bond or the redemption premium or
620 the rate of interest thereon; or
621 (c) A preference or priority of any Bond or Bonds issued pursuant to this resolution
622 over any other Bond or Bonds issued pursuant to the provisions of this resolution; or
623 (d) A reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds required for consent
624 to such supplemental resolution.
625 If the Board shall desire to obtain any such consent, it shall cause the Registrar to mail a
626 notice, postage prepaid, to the addresses appearing on the Registration Record. Such notice shall
627 briefly set forth the nature of the proposed supplemental resolution and shall state that a copy
628 thereof is on file at the office of the Registrar for inspection by all owners of the Bonds. The
629 Registrar shall not, however, be subject to any liability to any owners of the Bonds by reason of
630 its failure to mail such notice, and any such failure shall not affect the validity of such
631 supplemental resolution when consented to and approved as herein provided.
632 Whenever at any time within one year after the date of the mailing of such notice, the
633 Board shall receive any instrument or instruments purporting to be executed by the owners of the
634 Bonds of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds per cent (66-2/3%) in aggregate principal amount
635 of the Bonds then outstanding, which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed
636 supplemental resolution described in such notice, and shall specifically consent to and approve
637 the adoption thereof in substantially the form of the copy thereof referred to in such notice as on
638 file with the Registrar, thereupon, but not otherwise, the Board may adopt such supplemental
639 resolution in substantially such form, without liability or responsibility to any owners of the
640 Bonds, whether or not such owners shall have consented thereto.
641 No owner of any Bond shall have any right to object to the adoption of such supplemental
642 resolution or to object to any of the terms and provisions contained therein or the operation
643 thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the adoption thereof, or to enjoin or
644 restrain the District, the Board or its officers from adopting the same, or from taking any action
645 pursuant to the provisions thereof. Upon the adoption of any supplemental resolution pursuant to
646 the provisions of this section, this resolution shall be, and shall be deemed, modified and
647 amended in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, duties and obligations under this
648 resolution of the District and all owners of Bonds then outstanding shall thereafter be
649 determined, exercised and enforced in accordance with this resolution, subject in all respects to
650 such modifications and amendments.
651 Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this resolution, the
652 rights, duties and obligations of the District and of the owners of the Bonds, and the terms and
653 provisions of the Bonds and this resolution, or any supplemental resolution, may be modified or
654 amended in any respect with the consent of the Board and the consent of the owners of all the
655 Bonds then outstanding.
656 Without notice to or consent of the owners of the Bonds, the Board may, from time to
657 time and at any time, adopt such resolutions supplemental hereto as shall not be inconsistent with
658 the terms and provisions hereof (which supplemental resolutions shall thereafter form a part
659 hereof),
660 (a) To cure any ambiguity or formal defect or omission in this resolution or in
661 any supplemental resolution; or
662 (b) To grant to or confer upon the owners of the Bonds any additional rights,
663 remedies, powers, authority or security that may lawfully be granted to or conferred upon
664 the owners of the Bonds; or
665 (c) To procure a rating on the Bonds from a nationally recognized securities
666 rating agency designated in such supplemental resolution, if such supplemental resolution
667 will not adversely affect the owners of the Bonds; or
668 (d) To obtain or maintain bond insurance with respect to the Bonds; or
669 (e) To provide for the current refunding or advance refunding of the Bonds; or
670 (f) To make any other change which, in the determination of the Board in its
671 sole discretion, would not adversely affect the rights of the owners of the Bonds.
672 Section 12. Tax Covenants. In order to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds
673 from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue
674 Code of 1986, as in effect on the date of delivery of the Bonds (the "Code") and as an
675 inducement to purchasers of the Bonds, the Board represents, covenants and agrees that:
676 (a) The Project will be available for use by members of the general public. Use by a
677 member of the general public means use by natural persons not engaged in a trade or business.
678 No person or entity, other than the City, the District or another state or local governmental unit,
679 will use more than 10% of the proceeds of the Bonds or property financed or refinanced by the
680 proceeds other than as a member of the general public. No person or entity other than the City,
681 the District, or another state or local governmental unit will own property financed or
682 refinanced by Bond proceeds or will have actual or beneficial use of such property pursuant to a
683 lease, a management, service or incentive payment contract, an arrangement including a take -
684 or -pay or other type of output contract or any other type of arrangement that conveys other
685 special legal entitlements and differentiates that person's or entity's use of such property from
686 the use by the general public, unless such uses in the aggregate relate to no more than 10% of
687 the proceeds of the Bonds. If the City enters into a management contract for all or a portion of
688 the Project, the terms of the contract will comply with the Regulations and IRS Revenue
689 Procedure 97-13, as amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time, so that the
690 contract will not give rise to private business use under the Code and the Regulations unless
691 such use in the aggregate relates to no more than 10% of the proceeds of the Bonds.
17
692 (b) No more than 10% of the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds
693 will be (under the terms of the Bonds, this Resolution or any underlying arrangement), directly
694 or indirectly, (i) secured by any interest in property used or to be used for a private business use
695 or payments in respect of such property or (ii) derived from payments (whether or not to the
696 Board) in respect of such property or borrowed money used or to be used for a private business
697 use.
698 (c) No more than 5% of the Bond proceeds will be loaned to any entity or person
699 other than another state or local governmental unit. No more than 5% of the Bond proceeds will
700 be transferred, directly or indirectly, or deemed transferred to a non-governmental person in any
701 manner that would in substance constitute a loan of the Bond proceeds.
702 (d) The Board reasonably expects, as of the date hereof, that the Bonds will not meet
703 either the private business use test described in paragraph (a) and (b) above or the private loan
704 test described in paragraph (c) above during the entire term of the Bonds.
705 (e) No more than 5% of the proceeds of the Bonds will be attributable to private
706 business use as described in (a) and private security or payments described in (b) attributable to
707 unrelated or disproportionate private business use. For this purpose, the private business use test
708 is applied by taking into account only use that is not related to any government use of proceeds
709 of the issue (Unrelated Use) and use that is related but disproportionate to any governmental
710 use of those proceeds (Disproportionate Use).
711 (f) The Board will not take any action or fail to take any action with respect to the
712 Bonds that would result in the loss of the exclusion from gross income for federal tax purposes
713 of interest on the Bonds under Section 103 of the Code, nor will the City or the District act in
714 any other manner which would adversely affect such exclusion; and it will not make any
715 investment or do any other act or thing during the period that the Bonds are outstanding that
716 would cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.
717 The City and the District covenant and agree not to enter into any contracts or arrangements
718 which would cause the Bonds to be treated as private activity bonds under Section 141 of the
719 Code.
720 (g) All officers, members, employees and agents of the Board and the City are
721 authorized and directed to provide certifications of facts and estimates that are material to the
722 reasonable expectations of the Board as of the date the Bonds are issued and to enter into
723 covenants on behalf of the Board evidencing the Board's commitments made herein. In
724 particular, all or any members or officers of the Board or officers of the City are authorized to
725 certify and enter into covenants for the District regarding the facts and circumstances and
726 reasonable expectations of the Board on the date the Bonds are issued and the commitments
727 made by the Board herein regarding the amount and use of the proceeds of the Bonds.
728 (h) The Board represents that, to the extent necessary, it will rebate all arbitrage
729 profits to the United States of America in accordance with the Code.
730 (i) These covenants are based solely on current law in effect and in existence on the
731 date of delivery of such Bonds.

735 income under federal law (the "Tax Exemption") need not be complied with if the Board
736 receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that any Tax Section is unnecessary to
737 preserve the Tax Exemption.

739 securities laws, the President of the Board, the Mayor or the Clerk -Treasurer is hereby authorized
740 to execute and deliver a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking Agreement upon delivery of the

743 default under the Bonds or this resolution.

745 be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of such
746 section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this resolution.
747 Section 16. Other Action. The appropriate officers are hereby authorized to take all
748 such actions and execute all such instruments as are necessary or desirable to effectuate this
749 Resolution. These actions include obtaining a rating, bond insurance or any other form of credit
750 enhancement for the Bonds if economically feasible and desirable and with the favorable
751 recommendation of the financial advisors to the Citv, and filing a report of an additional
752 appropriation with the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance. In addition, the
