Section 2. 
Approval of Issuance and Sale of Bonds; Payment of Bonds. 
 
 
(a) 
The Bonds are hereby authorized to be issued as a series of tax-exempt 
assessment bonds of the District to be designated “Assessment District No. 15, Special 
Assessment Revenue Bonds, Series 2026.”  If the Bonds are issued in a different calendar year, 
the officers of the District are hereby authorized and directed to change the series designation.  
The Bonds shall be issued and delivered in an aggregate principal amount of not to exceed 
$2,730,000, shall be in fully registered form only, shall be dated as of their date of initial 
issuance, shall bear interest at the rate or rates set forth in the Purchase Contract (not to 
exceed 6.00%) from their date and shall mature on July 1 in some or all of the years 2027 
through 2046, inclusive (each, a “Principal Payment Date”).  Interest will be payable 
semiannually, commencing on January 1, 2027 (or on such other date as set forth in the 
Purchase Contract), and on each succeeding July 1 and January 1 (each such date shall be 
referred to as an “Interest Payment Date”) during the term of the Bonds.  The Bonds will bear 
interest from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly 
provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of their initial delivery, calculated on 
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  As initially issued, the Bonds shall be in 
the Book-Entry-Only System described herein and in the denomination of $5,000 each or 
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and shall be in fully registered form.  If necessary, 
to accommodate a special redemption of Bonds pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof, Bonds may be 
in the denomination of less than $5,000 in integral multiples of $1,000.  Further, the 
denominations may be modified to reflect the terms described in the Final Official Statement.  
Costs of issuance shall be paid by the Owner. 
 
 
(b) 
The principal of and premium, if any, on the Bonds shall be payable upon 
surrender thereof at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent.  Interest due on the 
Bonds on each Interest Payment Date shall be payable by check mailed, when due, to the 
persons (the “Bondholders”) in whose names the Bonds are registered by the Registrar at the 
close of business on the 15th day of the calendar month (other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or a 
legal holiday or equivalent (other than a moratorium) for banking institutions generally (a 
“Business Day”)) next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date; if such day is not a 
Business Day, then the previous Business Day (the “Record Date”). 
 
 
(c) 
In the event that interest is not paid on an Interest Payment Date, the 
Registrar shall establish a special record date for the payment of such interest, if and when 
funds for the payment of such interest have been received.  Notice of the special record date 
and of the scheduled payment date of the past due interest will be sent at least 10 days prior to 
the special record date, to the address of each Bondholder appearing on the Register (as such 
term is hereafter defined). 
 
 
(d) 
Reserved.   
 
 
(e) 
The Bonds shall have such additional terms and provisions as are set 
forth in the Purchase Contract and in the form of Bond attached hereto as Exhibit A, which is a 
part of this Resolution.

4 
 
 
Section 3. 
Prior Redemption. 
 
(a) 
Special Optional Redemption.  All Bonds are subject to special optional 
redemption prior to their stated maturity at the option of the District, in whole or in part, on any 
Interest Payment Date upon payment of the applicable Redemption Price which shall consist of 
the principal amount of the Bonds so redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, on the Bonds so 
redeemed from the most recent Interest Payment Date to the applicable redemption date 
without premium:  (i) if and to the extent on or after the completion of the Project, upon direction 
given to the Registrar by the District, amounts transferred from the Acquisition Fund for such 
purpose; (ii) from the prepayment of any assessment by the owner of any assessed real 
property, or (iii) from the proceeds of any sale of any delinquent assessed real property to the 
extent such foreclosure sale proceeds are not used to replenish the Debt Service Reserve Fund 
to an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Requirement.  Such proceeds shall be deposited with 
the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent at least two business days prior to the date of redemption.  
The special redemption shall be at a redemption price of par plus interest accrued to the date of 
redemption, without premium.   
 
(b) 
Optional Redemption.  The Bonds shall be subject to call for redemption 
prior to their stated maturity dates, at the option of the District, on such dates and at such price 
(the “Redemption Price”) as are set forth in the Purchase Contract. 
 
(c) 
Mandatory Redemption.  The Bonds shall be subject to mandatory 
redemption prior to their stated maturity dates, at a Redemption Price of par plus interest 
accrued to the date of redemption, but without premium, on such dates and in such amounts as 
are set forth in the Purchase Contract.  Whenever Bonds that are subject to mandatory 
redemption are purchased, redeemed (other than pursuant to mandatory redemption), or 
delivered by the District to the Registrar for cancellation, the principal amount of the Bonds so 
retired shall satisfy and be credited against any remaining mandatory redemption requirements 
for the Bonds for such years as the District may direct. 
 
 
(d) 
Notice of Redemption.  So long as the Bonds are held under the Book-
Entry-Only System described below, notices of redemption will be sent to The Depository Trust 
Company (“DTC”) in the manner required by DTC.  If the Book-Entry-Only System is 
discontinued, notice of redemption of any Bond will be mailed to the registered owner of the 
Bond or Bonds being redeemed at the address shown on the bond register maintained by the 
Registrar not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date set for redemption.  Notice of 
redemption may be sent to any securities depository by mail, facsimile transmission, wire 
transmission, or any other means of transmission of the notice generally accepted by the 
respective securities depository.  Neither the failure of DTC nor any registered owner of Bonds 
to receive a notice of redemption nor any defect therein will affect the validity of the proceedings 
for redemption of Bonds as to which proper notice of redemption was given. 
 
 
(e) 
MSRB Notice.  Notice of any redemption will also be sent to the Municipal 
Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”), currently through the MSRB’s Electronic Municipal 
Market Access system, in the manner required by the MSRB, but no defect in said further notice 
or record nor any failure to give all or a portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat 
the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as prescribed above.  If 
moneys for the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest are not held in separate 
accounts by the District, or a Paying Agent prior to sending the notice of redemption, such 
redemption shall be conditional on such moneys being so held on the date set for redemption 
and if not so held by such date, the redemption shall be cancelled and be of no force and effect.

5 
 
 
(f) 
Effect of Call for Redemption.  On the date designated for redemption by 
notice given as herein provided, the Bonds so called for redemption shall become and be due 
and payable at the Redemption Price provided for redemption of such Bonds on such date, and, 
if moneys for payment of the Redemption Price are held in separate accounts by the Paying 
Agent, interest on such Bonds or portions of Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to 
accrue, such Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any benefit or security hereunder and the 
Bondholders shall have no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the 
Redemption Price thereof and such Bonds shall be deemed paid and no longer outstanding. 
 
 
(g) 
Redemption of Less Than All of a Bond.  The District may redeem an 
amount that is included in a Bond in the denomination in excess of $5,000, but divisible by, 
$1,000.  However, in order to accommodate a special redemption of Bonds pursuant to Section 
3(a) hereof or as otherwise set forth in the Final Official Statement, Bonds may be in a 
denomination of less than $5,000 in integral multiples of $1,000.  In that event, the registered 
Bondholder shall submit the Bond for partial redemption and the Paying Agent shall make such 
partial payment and the Registrar shall cause to be issued a new Bond in a principal amount 
that reflects the redemption so made to be authenticated and delivered to the registered 
Bondholder thereof. 
 
 
Section 4. 
Form of Bonds.  The Bonds shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A, 
attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein, with such necessary and appropriate 
omissions, insertions, and variations as are permitted or required hereby or by the Purchase 
Contract and are approved by those officers executing the Bonds and execution thereof by such 
officers shall constitute conclusive evidence of such approval.  The Bonds may have notations, 
legends, or endorsements required by law, securities exchange rule, or usage.  Each Bond shall 
be dated the date of its authentication and registration. 
 
 
Section 5. 
Execution of Bonds and Other Documents. 
 
 
(a) 
Execution of Bonds.  The Bonds shall be executed for and on behalf of 
the District by the Chair of the Board of Directors (the “Chair”) and attested by the Clerk of the 
Board of Directors (the “District Clerk”) by their manual or facsimile signatures.  If the signatures 
are affixed or imprinted by facsimile, the Chair and the District Clerk shall execute a certificate 
adopting as their signatures the facsimile signatures appearing on the Bonds.  If an officer 
whose signature is on a Bond no longer holds that office at the time the Bond is authenticated 
and registered, the Bond shall nevertheless be valid.  A Bond shall not be valid or binding until 
authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized officer of the Registrar.  The signature 
shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond has been authenticated and issued under this 
Resolution. 
 
 
(b) 
Other Documents.  The Board of Directors hereby approves the form and 
orders and directs the execution of the Bond Documents, each in substantially the form 
presented to the Board of Directors.  The Treasurer of the District (the “District Treasurer”) is

Bond Documents in substantially the form presented to this Board of Directors with such 
necessary and appropriate omissions, insertions, and variations as are permitted or required 
hereby and are approved by those officers executing such agreements on behalf of the District.  
Execution of the documents by the Chair or the District Treasurer shall be conclusive evidence 
of such approval.  The District Clerk is authorized and directed to attest such signatures.  Where

6 
 
applicable, any of the foregoing officers may affix their signatures by manual, mechanical, or 
photographic means. 
 
 
Section 6. 
Mutilated, Lost, or Destroyed Bonds.  In case any Bond becomes 
mutilated, lost, or destroyed, the District shall cause to be executed and delivered a new Bond 
of like date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon the cancellation of such 
mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for such Bond destroyed or lost, upon the 
registered Bondholder’s paying the reasonable expenses and charges of the District in 
connection therewith and, in the case of the Bond destroyed or lost, filing with the District Clerk 
by the registered Bondholder evidence satisfactory to the District that such Bond was destroyed 
or lost, and furnishing the District with a sufficient indemnity bond pursuant to A.R.S. § 47-8405, 
as amended.

Acceptance of Proposal.  The Bonds are hereby sold to the Underwriter in 
accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract.  The Underwriter has agreed to sell the 
Bonds in a public offering.  The actual terms of the Bonds and the Purchase Contract shall be 
reviewed and approved by the District Treasurer (which approval shall be deemed conclusive by 
the execution and delivery of the Purchase Contract by the Chair, any member of the Board of 
Directors or the District Treasurer).  The District Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to 
cause the Bonds to be delivered to or upon the order of the Underwriter upon receipt of 
payment therefor and satisfaction of the other conditions for delivery thereof in accordance with

The Registrar may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the 
District to authenticate Bonds.  An authenticating agent may authenticate Bonds whenever the 
Registrar may do so.  Each reference herein to authentication by the Registrar includes 
authentication by an authenticating agent acting on behalf and in the name of the Registrar and 
subject to the Registrar’s direction. 
 
 
(d) 
The Registrar shall keep a register of the Bonds (the “Register”), the 
registered Bondholders and of transfer of the Bonds.  When Bonds are presented to the

10 
 
Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register transfer, the Registrar will register the 
transfer on the registration books if its requirements for transfer are met and will authenticate 
and deliver one or more Bonds registered in the name of the transferee of the same principal 
amount, maturity and rate of interest as the surrendered Bonds.  Bonds presented to the 
Registrar for transfer after the close of business on the Record Date and before the close of 
business on the next subsequent Interest Payment Date will be registered in the name of the 
transferee, but the interest payment will be made to the registered Bondholders shown on the 
books of the Registrar as of the close of business on the Record Date. 
 
 
(e) 
The Registrar may, but need not, register the transfer of a Bond that has 
been selected for redemption and need not register the transfer of any Bond for a period of 15 
days before a selection of Bonds to be redeemed; if the transfer of any Bond that has been 
called or selected for call for redemption in whole or in part is registered, any notice of 
redemption that has been given to the transferor will be binding upon the transferee and a copy 
of the notice of redemption will be delivered to the transferee along with the Bond or Bonds. 
 
 
(f) 
The Registrar shall authenticate Bonds for original issue up to $2,730,000 
in aggregate principal amount upon the written request of the District Treasurer or other 
authorized District officer.  The aggregate principal amount of Bonds outstanding at any time 
may not exceed that amount except for replacement Bonds as to which the requirements of the 
Registrar and the District are met. 
 
 
(g) 
The amounts that are segregated by the District or deposited with the 
Paying Agent to pay the principal of or interest on any Bonds becoming due on any due date 
shall be held in trust for the benefit of the owner of such Bonds.  Amounts so segregated or 
deposited and held in trust shall constitute a separate trust fund for the benefit of the owner of 
such Bonds entitled to such principal or interest, as the case may be.  Amounts held by the 
District or Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on 
the Bonds need not be segregated from other funds, except to the extent required by law. 
 
 
(h) 
The District may at any time direct any Paying Agent to pay to the District 
all money held by such Paying Agent, such amounts to be held by the District upon the same 
trusts as those upon which such money was held by such Paying Agent, and, upon such 
payment by any Paying Agent to the District, such Paying Agent shall be released from all 
further liability with respect to such money. 
 
 
(i) 
In the event any check for payment of interest on a Bond is returned to 
any Paying Agent unendorsed or is not presented for payment within two years from its 
payment date or any Bond is not presented for payment of principal at maturity or redemption 
date, if amounts sufficient to pay such interest or principal due upon such Bond shall have been 
made available to such Paying Agent for the benefit of the Bondholder thereof, it shall be the 
duty of such Paying Agent to hold such funds or invest the same in Governmental Obligations 
(as defined herein), without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the owner of such 
Bond who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of whatever 
nature relating to such Bond or amounts due thereunder.  Such obligation of the Paying Agent 
to hold such funds shall continue for two years and six months following the date on which such 
interest or principal payment became due, whether at maturity or stated maturity, or at the 
redemption date, or otherwise, at which time such Paying Agent shall surrender such unclaimed 
funds so held to the District, whereupon any claim of whatever nature by the owner of such 
Bond arising under such Bond shall be made upon the District.

11 
 
 
(j) 
So long as the Bonds are administered under DTC’s Book-Entry-Only 
System of registration of the Bonds with DTC as securities depository for the Bonds described 
herein, interest payments and principal payments that are part of periodic principal and interest 
payments shall be paid to Cede & Co. or its registered assigns in same-day funds no later than 
the time of payment established by DTC on each interest or principal payment date (or in 
accordance with then existing arrangements between the District and DTC).  The District has 
entered into an agreement (the “Letter of Representations”) with DTC in connection with the 
issuance of its bonds and, while the Letter of Representations is in effect, the procedures 
established therein shall apply to the Bonds. 
 
 
(k) 
If the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued, the Registrar’s registration 
books will show the registered Bondholders.  While the Bonds are subject to the Book-Entry-
Only System, the Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., or its registered 
assigns.  The Bonds will be administered by the Registrar in a manner which assures against 
double issuance and provides a system of transfer of ownership on the books of the Registrar in 
the manner set forth in the Bonds. 
 
(l) 
If the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued, interest on the Bonds will 
be payable on each Interest Payment Date by check mailed to the Bondholder thereof at the 
Bondholder’s address all as shown on the registration books maintained by the Registrar as of 
the close of business of the Registrar on the Record Date. 
 
(m) 
If the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued, principal of the Bonds will 
be payable, when due, only upon presentation and surrender of the Bond at the designated 
corporate trust office of the Paying Agent.  Upon written request of a registered Bondholder of at 
least $100,000 in principal amount of Bonds not less than 20 days prior to an Interest Payment 
Date, all payments of interest and, if adequate provision for surrender is made, principal shall be 
paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account within the United States of 
America designated by such Bondholder. 
 
(n) 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, payment of 
principal of and interest on any Bond that is held by a securities depository or Bonds subject to 
a Book-Entry-Only System may be paid by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in “same day 
funds.”

Section 15. 
Other Actions Necessary.  The Chair (or any other member of the Board 
of Directors in the event the Chair is absent or unable to take the desired action), the District 
Manager, the District Treasurer, the District Clerk, and the officers of the District shall take all 
action necessary or reasonably required to carry out, give effect to, and consummate the 
transactions contemplated by the Bond Documents and the Final Official Statement, including 
without limitation, the execution and delivery of the closing and other documents required to be 
delivered in connection with the sale and delivery of the Bonds. 
 
 
Section 16. 
Distribution of Disclosure Documents.  The District hereby approves, 
ratifies, and authorizes the use by the Underwriter of copies of the Preliminary Official 
Statement and the Final Official Statement, which shall be in substantially the form of the 
Preliminary Official Statement presented at the meeting at which this Resolution was adopted, 
with such completions and changes as may be acceptable to the District Manager or District 
Treasurer as are necessary in connection with the offering and sale of the Bonds.  The District 
hereby authorizes the Chair, the District Manager, and the District Treasurer to execute the

12 
 
instruments deeming the Preliminary Official Statement as “final” as of its date for purposes of 
Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Rule”).  The Chair, the District 
Manager, and the District Treasurer are hereby authorized and directed to execute, when 
completed, the Final Official Statement. 
 
 
Section 17. 
Assessment Levy and Procedures. 
 
 
(a) 
An Assessment has been levied and recorded in the office of the 
Superintendent against each lot comprising the parcels of real property in Assessment District 
No. 15 and described in the Resolution of Intention.  The Assessment levied and recorded may 
hereafter be reduced to the actual principal amount of Bonds issued and any such reduction is 
hereby approved by the Board of Directors. 
 
 
(b) 
For each year while any Bond is outstanding, the Board of Directors shall 
semiannually cause to be collected such portion of the Assessment, sufficient, together with any 
moneys from any sources in the Enabling Act, to pay principal and interest on the Bonds when 
due.  Moneys received from the collection of the Assessment when collected constitute funds to 
pay principal and interest on the Bonds when due and shall be kept separately from other funds 
in the Bond Fund of the District.  The amounts due pursuant to the Assessment and unpaid are 
and shall be a first lien on the property so assessed in Assessment District No. 15, subject only 
to general property taxes and prior special assessments and shall be collected as prescribed by 
A.R.S. §§ 48-599 and 600, as amended, as nearly as practicable or such other procedures as 
the Board of Directors may prescribe.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assessments may be 
collected by the Maricopa County Treasurer in a similar manner and together with the collection 
of real property taxes, should the District Treasurer of the District so direct.  In the event of 
nonpayment of amounts due pursuant to the Assessment, the procedures for collection of 
delinquent amounts and sale of delinquent property prescribed by A.R.S. §§ 48-601 through 48-
607, as amended, apply, as nearly as practicable, except that neither the District nor the City is 
required to purchase the delinquent land at the sale if there is no other purchaser. 
 
 
(c) 
Pursuant to A.R.S. § 48-721, the provisions and procedures pertaining to 
the prepayment of Assessments, the payment of Assessments and the reallocation and 
modification of Assessments among the assessed parcels as development occurs, set forth in 
this Resolution are hereby approved and adopted. 
 
 
(d) 
If any Assessment is either in whole or in part annulled, vacated, or set 
aside by the judgment of any court, or if the District is satisfied that any such Assessment is so 
irregular or defective that the same cannot be enforced or collected, or if the District omitted to 
make such Assessment when it might have done so, the District shall either (i) take all 
necessary steps to cause a new Assessment to be made for the whole or any part of a Project 
or against any property benefited by said Project, or (ii) in its sole discretion, request the Owner 
to make up the amount of such Assessment, which moneys is deposited into the Bond Fund, as 
applicable.  In case such second Assessment is annulled, the District shall obtain and make 
other Assessments until a valid Assessment is made. 
 
 
Section 18. 
No Obligation of City.  Nothing contained in this Resolution, the Bond 
Documents, or any other instrument shall be construed as obligating the City or the State of 
Arizona (the “State”) or any political subdivision of either (other than the District) or as incurring 
a charge upon the general credit of the City and the State nor shall the breach of any agreement 
contained herein, the Bond Documents, or any other instrument or documents executed in 
connection therewith impose any charge upon the general credit of the City and the State.

13 
 
 
Section 19. 
Repeal of Resolution.  After any of the Bonds are delivered by the District 
to the Underwriter upon receipt of payment therefor, this Resolution shall be and remain 
irrepealable until the Bonds and the interest thereon have been fully paid, canceled and 
discharged. 
 
 
Section 20. 
Severability.  If any section, paragraph, clause, or provision of this 
Resolution is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or 
unenforceability of such section, paragraph, clause, or provision shall not affect any of the 
remaining provisions of this Resolution. 
 
 
Section 21. 
Ratification of Prior Acts.  All acts of the District Chair, District Engineer, 
the Superintendent of Streets, and any person acting for such official, in furtherance of this 
Resolution are hereby ratified and confirmed, including the splitting of certain parcels within the 
District in compliance with A.R.S. § 48-272.   
 
 
Section 22. 
Compliance with Federal Law. 
(a) 
The District recognizes that the purchasers of the Bonds will have 
accepted them on, and paid therefore a price which reflects, the understanding that interest 
thereon is excludable from gross income of the Bondholder thereof for federal income tax 
purposes under laws in force at the time the Bonds are delivered.  In this connection the District 
agrees that it shall take no action that may render the interest on any of the Bonds to be 
includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes.  The District agrees that, to the 
extent possible under State law, it will comply with whatever federal law is now in effect or which 
is adopted in the future that applies to the Bonds and is necessary to prevent interest on the 
Bonds from becoming included as gross income for purposes of calculating federal income 
taxes. 
 
(b) 
The District authorizes the creation of a fund which is hereinafter referred 
to as the “Rebate Fund.”  The District will comply with the rebate requirement (“Rebate”) set 
forth in the District’s Tax Certificate. 
 
(c) 
The Chair or the Chair’s designee is hereby authorized to make certain 
truthful certifications, representations, agreements and elections as required by law to assure 
the purchasers and owners of the Bonds that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a 
manner that would or might result in the Bonds being “arbitrage bonds” under Section 148 of the 
Code or the regulations of the United States Treasury Department currently in effect or 
proposed.  The certifications, representations, and agreements of the District may be made by 
executing and delivering certificates and agreements required by the District’s bond counsel, 
Gust Rosenfeld P.L.C.  The certificates and agreements shall constitute an agreement of the 
District to follow covenants and requirements set forth therein that may require the District to 
take certain actions (including the payment of certain amounts to the United States Treasury) or 
that may prohibit certain actions (including the establishment of certain funds) under certain 
conditions. 
 
(d) 
The District further recognizes that Section 149(a) of the Code requires 
the Bonds to be issued and to remain in fully registered form in order for interest thereon to be 
excludable from gross income for purpose of federal income taxation under laws in force at the 
time the Bonds are delivered.  In this connection, the District agrees that it will not take any 
action to permit the Bonds to be issued in, or converted into, bearer or coupon form if such 
action would cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax 
purposes.

14 
 
 
 
Section 23. 
Reserved. 
 
 
Section 24. 
Defeasance.   
 
 
(a) 
Any Bond shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding when payment of 
the principal of such Bond, plus interest thereon to the maturity thereof (whether such maturity 
be by reason of the stated maturity thereof or call for redemption, if notice of such call has been 
given or waived or irrevocable arrangements therefor satisfactory to the Registrar have been 
made) have been provided for by depositing for such payment from funds of the District under 
the terms provided in this Section (i) money sufficient to make such payment or (ii) money and 
direct or indirect obligations of the United States of America (as approved by the District’s bond 
counsel) (“Government Obligations”) certified by an independent accountant of national 
reputation to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as shall, 
without further investment or reinvestment of either the principal amount thereof or the interest 
earnings therefrom be sufficient to make such payment, provided that all necessary and proper 
fees, compensation, and expenses of the Registrar and Paying Agent pertaining to the Bonds 
with respect to which such deposit is made shall have been paid or the payment thereof 
provided for to the satisfaction of the Registrar.  Any such deposit shall be made either with the 
Paying Agent or, if notice of such deposit is given to the Registrar and Paying Agent, with a 
state or nationally chartered bank with a minimum combined capital and surplus of $50,000,000, 
as escrow agent, with irrevocable instructions to transfer the amounts so deposited and 
investment income therefrom to the Registrar or the Paying Agent in the amounts and at the 
times required to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds with respect to which such deposit 
is made at the maturity thereof and of such interest or the stated maturity, as the case may be.  
In the event such deposit is made with respect to some but not all of the Bonds then 
outstanding, the outstanding Bonds shall be selected in the same manner as provided for the 
selection of Bonds to be redeemed. 
 
 
(b) 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary however, no such deposit 
shall have the effect hereinabove described (i) if made during the existence of default hereunder 
unless made with respect to all of the Bonds then outstanding and (ii) unless there shall be 
delivered to the Registrar an opinion of counsel to the effect that such deposit shall not 
adversely affect any exemption from federal income taxation of interest on any Bond.  Any 
money and Government Obligations deposited with the Paying Agent for such purpose shall be 
held by the Paying Agent in a segregated account in trust for the Bondholders with respect to 
which such deposit is made and together with any investment income therefrom, shall be 
disbursed solely to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due.  No money or 
Government Obligations so deposited pursuant to this Section shall be invested or reinvested 
unless in Government Obligations and unless such money not invested, such Government 
Obligations not reinvested, and such new investments are together certified by an independent 
accountant of national reputation to be of such amounts, maturities, and interest payment dates 
and to bear such interest as will, without further investment or reinvestment of either the 
principal amount thereof or the interest earnings therefrom, be sufficient to make such payment.  
At such times as a Bond shall be deemed to be paid hereunder, as aforesaid, it shall no longer 
be secured by or entitled to the benefits of this Resolution, except for purposes of any such 
payment from such money or Government Obligations. 
 
 
Section 25. 
Resolution a Contract.  This resolution shall constitute a contract between 
the District and the registered Bondholders and shall not be repealed or amended in any 
manner that would impair, impede, or lessen the rights of the Bondholders of the Bonds then 
outstanding.

Festival Ranch Community Facilities District (City of Buckeye, Arizona), a community 
facilities district formed by the City of Buckeye, Arizona, and duly organized and validly 
existing, pursuant to the laws of the State of Arizona (hereinafter referred to as the “Issuer”), 
for value received, hereby promises to pay to the “Registered Owner” specified above or 
registered assigns (herein referred to as the “Holder”), on the “Maturity Date” specified above, 
the “Principal Amount” specified above and to pay interest (calculated on the basis of a 
360-day year of twelve 30-day months) on the unpaid portion thereof from the “Original Issue 
Date” specified above, or from the most recent “Interest Payment Date” (as such term is 
hereinafter defined) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until paid or the 
payment thereof is duly provided for at maturity, semiannually on each January 1 and July 1, 
commencing [January 1, 2027] (each an “Interest Payment Date”), at the per annum “Interest 
Rate” specified above. 
 
 
As provided in the Issuer’s Resolution No. 10-26 (Festival Ranch), adopted on May 
19, 2026 (the “Bond Resolution”), the interest, principal, and Redemption Price (as such term 
and all other terms used herein and not defined are defined in the Bond Resolution) payable 
on the Bonds shall be paid to Cede & Co. or its registered assigns in same-day funds no later 
than the time established by DTC on the date due (or in accordance with then existing 
arrangements between the Issuer and DTC).  Payments will be made to the Registered 
Owner on the registration books maintained by the Registrar at the close of business of the 
Registrar on the 15th day of the calendar month (other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or a legal 
holiday or equivalent (other than a moratorium) for banking institutions generally (a “business

8010265.5 
A-2 
day”) next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date; if such day is not a business day, 
then the previous business day. 
 
 
Neither the full faith and credit nor the general taxing power of the Issuer, the City of 
Buckeye, Arizona, Maricopa County, Arizona, or the State of Arizona or any political 
subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the Bonds. 
 
 
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Registrar, 
by manual signature, this Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Bond Resolution 
or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 
 
This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of assessment revenue bonds of the Issuer 
having the designation specified in its title (herein referred to as the “Bonds”), issued in one 
series, with the limitations described herein, pursuant the Bond Resolution to which Bond 
Resolution reference is hereby made for a description of the amounts thereby pledged and 
assigned, the nature and extent of the lien and security, the respective rights thereunder of 
the Holder of the Bonds and the Issuer, and the terms upon which the Bonds are, and are to 
be, authenticated and delivered and by this reference to the terms of which each Holder of 
this Bond hereby consents.  All Bonds issued under the Bond Resolution are equally and 
ratably secured by the amounts thereby pledged and assigned.  Pursuant to the Bond 
Resolution, the Board of Directors of the Issuer authorized the issuance and sale of not to 
exceed $2,730,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds for the purpose of financing the 
costs of acquiring certain public infrastructure, including particularly the acquisition by the 
Issuer of the improvements and public infrastructure purposes (the “Improvements”) 
described in Resolution No. 06-26 (Festival Ranch), which was adopted by the Board of 
Directors of the Issuer on May 5, 2026. 
 
 
The Bonds are limited obligations of the Issuer payable only out of the special fund to 
be collected from a special assessment (the “Assessment”) levied only against the lots or 
parcels of land fronting on or benefited by the Improvements (the “Assessed Property”) and 
from amounts held by the Issuer in the Reserve Fund (the “Debt Service Reserve Fund”).  
The Assessed Property represents approximately 546 residential lots over approximately 192 
acres of land within the Festival Ranch Community Facilities District (City of Buckeye, 
Arizona).  Said special fund is set apart in accordance with the laws of the state and pursuant 
to the Bond Resolution for the payment of the Bonds and can be used for no other purpose. 
 
 
The amount required to be held in the Debt Service Reserve Fund (the “Reserve Fund 
Requirement”) may be reduced from time to time if Maximum Annual Debt Service on the 
Bonds is reduced.  Any amount held in the Debt Service Reserve Fund in excess of the 
Reserve Fund Requirement may be transferred to the Bond Fund and used to make payment 
of principal and interest on the Bonds either at stated maturity or prior redemption. 
 
 
Investment earnings on the Debt Service Reserve Fund, to the extent not needed to 
return the Debt Service Reserve Fund to the Reserve Fund Requirement, to pay debt service 
on the Bonds, or to pay rebate to the United States, will be deposited into the Bond Fund.  
 
 
[The Bonds are issuable as fully registered bonds only in the denominations of $5,000 
or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  However, in order to accommodate a 
special redemption of the Bonds, Bonds may be in a denomination of less than $5,000 in 
integral multiples of $1,000.]

8010265.5 
A-3 
 
 
Notwithstanding any provision hereof or of the Bond Resolution, the obligation of the 
Issuer to make money available to pay this Bond may be defeased by the deposit of money 
and/or certain direct or indirect obligations of the United States of America (such obligations 
to be approved by the Issuer’s bond counsel) sufficient for such purposes, as described in 
the Bond Resolution. 
 
 
The Bonds are subject to special optional redemption prior to maturity at the option of 
the Issuer, in whole or in part, on any Interest Payment Date, upon not more than 60 nor less 
than 30 days’ prior notice, upon payment of the applicable Redemption Price which will 
consist of the principal amount of the Bonds so redeemed, plus interest, if any, on the Bonds 
so redeemed from the most recent Interest Payment Date to the applicable redemption date 
without premium:  (i) if and to the extent on or after the completion of the Project, upon 
direction given to the Registrar by the Issuer, amounts transferred from the Acquisition Fund 
for such purpose; (ii) from the prepayment of any assessment by the owner of any assessed 
real property; or (iii) from the proceeds of any sale of any delinquent assessed real property 
to the extent such foreclosure sale proceeds are not used to replenish the Debt Service 
Reserve Fund to an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Requirement.   
 
 
The Bonds maturing on or after July 1, 20__, will also be redeemable, on or after July 
1, 20__, at the option of the Issuer, in whole on any date or, from time to time, in part on any 
Interest Payment Date, upon not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ prior notice, upon 
payment of the applicable Redemption Price, which will consist of the principal amount of the 
Bonds so redeemed plus interest, if any, on the Bonds so redeemed from the most recent 
Interest Payment Date to the redemption date, without premium. 
 
 
The Bonds maturing in the following years will be redeemed on the following 
redemption dates and in the following (sinking fund) amounts upon not more than 60 nor less 
than 30 days’ prior notice, upon payment of the applicable Redemption Price which will 
consist of the principal amount of the Bonds so redeemed plus interest, if any, on the Bonds 
so redeemed from the most recent Interest Payment Date to the applicable redemption date 
without premium:

Whenever Bonds are redeemed (other than pursuant to mandatory redemption) or 
delivered to the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent for cancellation, the principal amount of

the Bonds of such maturity so retired shall satisfy and be credited against the mandatory 
redemption requirements of such maturity on a pro-rata basis, to the extent practicable; 
provided, however that each remaining mandatory payment shall be in an amount which is 
an authorized denomination. 
 
Notice of redemption shall be mailed not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to 
the date fixed for redemption to each Bondholder of Bonds to be redeemed, at the address 
appearing in the Register. 
 
 
Bonds may be redeemed in an amount which is included in a Bond in the denomination 
in excess of $5,000, but divisible by, $1,000.  However, in order to accommodate a special 
redemption of Bonds, Bonds may be in a denomination of less than $5,000 in integral 
multiples of $1,000.  Bonds (or portions thereof) for whose redemption and payment provision 
is made in accordance with the Bond Resolution shall thereupon cease to be entitled to the 
benefits of the Bond Resolution and shall cease to bear interest from and after the date fixed 
for redemption.
