Authorization; Application of Moneys.  The City Council hereby 
authorizes and directs the Interim Finance Director of the City (the “Finance Director”) or designee 
to transfer City funds to the Trustee in an aggregate amount not to exceed $41,000,000, an amount 
that is sufficient, together with other amounts held by the Trustee and available therefor, to defease 
the Bonds Being Defeased and to pay all costs associated therewith.  The proceeds of the transfer of 
funds, after payment of the costs and expenses of the transaction, shall be applied by the Trustee 
to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds Being Defeased as the same are called for 
redemption.  Any amounts remaining after payment of all amounts due shall be refunded to the City. 
Section 2. 
Redemption of Bonds Being Defeased.  Pursuant to Article IV of the 2007 
Indenture and the 2008 Indenture, the City hereby directs the Corporation to cause the redemption of 
the Bonds Being Defeased, to give written notice thereof to the Trustee, and to direct the Trustee to 
take all actions necessary to cause such redemption on such date as is determined by the Finance 
Director.   
 
Section 3.  
Irrepealable.  After the City funds are transferred to the Trustee, this

As authorized by Arizona Revised Statutes and in consideration of retaining 
the exclusion of interest income on the Bonds Being Defeased from gross income for federal 
income tax purposes, the City covenants with the owners from time to time of the Bonds Being 
Defeased to neither take nor fail to take any action which action or failure to act is within its power 
and authority and would result in interest income on the Bonds Being Defeased becoming subject 
to inclusion as gross income for federal income tax purposes under either laws existing on the date 
of issuance of the Bonds Being Defeased or such laws as they may be modified or amended. 
 
(b) 
The City agrees that it will comply with such requirement(s) and will take 
any such action(s) as in the opinion of Gust Rosenfeld P.L.C., or other nationally recognized 
municipal bond counsel firm selected by the Corporation, as bond counsel to the Corporation 
(“Bond Counsel”), are necessary to prevent interest income on the Bonds Being Defeased 
becoming subject to inclusion in gross income for federal income tax purposes.  Such requirements 
may include, but are not limited to, making further specific covenants; making truthful 
certifications and representations and giving necessary assurances; complying with all 
representations, covenants, and assurances contained in certificates or agreements to be prepared 
by Bond Counsel; paying to the United States of America any required amounts representing 
rebates of investment income relating to the Bonds Being Defeased; filing forms, statements, and 
supporting documents as may be required under the federal tax laws; limiting the term of and yield 
on investments made with moneys relating to the Bonds Being Defeased; and limiting the use of 
the proceeds of the transfer of funds.

Section 5. 
Budget Transfer Authorization.  Pursuant to this Resolution, any budget 
transfers necessary related to the defeasance of the Bonds Being Defeased are hereby authorized 
and approved. 
 
Section 6. 
Severability.  If any section, paragraph, subdivision, sentence, clause, or 
phrase of this Resolution is for any reason held to be illegal or unenforceable by a decision of a court 
of competent jurisdiction, such decision will not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this 
Resolution.  The City Council hereby declares that this Resolution would have been enacted with 
each and every other remaining section, paragraph, subdivision, sentence, clause, or phrase and would 
have authorized the transfer of funds and defeasance and redemption of the Bonds Being Defeased 
pursuant hereto irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, paragraphs, subdivisions, 
sentences, clauses, or phrases of this Resolution may be held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable.
