(b) Any Bond or portion thereof in authorized denominations shall be deemed
paid and defeased and thereafter shall have no claim on ad valorem taxes levied on

sufficient, as evidenced by a certificate or report of an accountant, to pay the
principal of and interest and any premium on such Bond or portion thereof as the
same matures, comes due or becomes payable upon prior redemption and (ii) if
such defeased Bond or portion thereof is to be redeemed, notice of such redemption
has been given in accordance with provisions hereof or the City has submitted to
the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent instructions expressed to be irrevocable as to
the date upon which such Bond or portion thereof is to be redeemed and as to the
giving of notice of such redemption. If the maturing principal of the Defeasance

(except that no Bond shall be issued which relates to more than a single principal
maturity) for the aggregate principal amount which the registered owner is entitled
to receive at the earliest practicable time in accordance with the provisions of this
Section.

(d) All costs and expenses of initial registration and payment of the Bonds shall
be borne by the City, but the City and the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent shall
charge the registered owner of such Bond for every subsequent transfer of a Bond
including an amount sufficient to reimburse them for any transfer fee, tax or other

Bonds shall initially be evidenced by one typewritten certificate for each maturity
in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount thereof. The Bonds so
initially delivered shall be registered in the name of “Cede & Co.” as nominee for

exchanged on the registration books of the City maintained by the Bond Registrar
and Paying Agent except:

(a) to any successor Depository designated pursuant to subsection (3)

the City for the removal or replacement of the Depository, and upon thirty (30)
days’ notice to the Depository, may remove or replace the Depository. The Bond

pursuant to the request of the City. The Depository may determine not to continue
to act as Depository for the Bonds upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the City
and the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent. If the use of the Book-Entry System is
discontinued, then after the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent has made provision
for notification of the Beneficial Owners of their book entry interests in the Bonds
by appropriate notice to the then Depository, the City and the Bond Registrar and
Paying Agent shall permit withdrawal of the Bonds from the Depository and
authenticate and deliver the Bond certificates in fully registered form and in
denominations authorized by this Section to the assignees of the Depository or its
nominee. Such withdrawal, authentication and delivery shall be at the cost and
expense (including costs of printing or otherwise preparing, and delivering, such
replacement Bond certificates) of the City.

City and the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent shall give any notice of redemption
or any other notices required to be given to registered owners of Bonds only to the
Depository or its nominee registered as the owner thereof. Any failure of the
Depository to advise any of its participants, or of any participant to notify the
Beneficial Owner, of any such notice and its content or effect shall not affect the
validity of the redemption of the Bonds to be redeemed or of any other action
premised on such notice. Neither the City nor the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent
shall be responsible or liable for the failure of the Depository or any participant
thereof to make any payment or give any notice to a Beneficial Owner in respect of
the Bonds or any error or delay relating thereto.

Section 2(b) hereof or of the Bonds to the contrary, so long as the Bonds are subject
to a Book-Entry System, it shall not be necessary for the registered owner to present
the applicable Bond for payment of mandatory redemption installments, if any. The

other use of the proceeds of any Bonds which would cause such Bonds to be
“arbitrage bonds” as that term is defined in Section 148 (or any successor provision
thereto) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or
“private activity bonds” as that term is defined in Section 141 (or any successor
provision thereto) of the Code, and shall comply with the requirements of the Code
sections and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”)
throughout the term of the Bonds. In consideration of the purchase and acceptance
of the Bonds by such holders from time to time and of retaining such exclusion and
as authorized by Title 35, Chapter 3, Article 7, Arizona Revised Statutes, the
Council covenants, and the appropriate officials of the City are hereby directed, to
take all action required to maintain such exclusion or to refrain from taking any
action prohibited by the Code which would adversely affect in any respect such
exclusion.

(2) The City shall be the owner of the facilities financed with the
proceeds of the sale of the Bonds (the “Facilities”) for federal income tax purposes.
Except as otherwise advised in a Bond Counsel’s Opinion (as defined herein), the
City shall not enter into (i) any management or service contract with any entity
other than a governmental entity for the operation of any portion of the Facilities
unless the management or service contract complies with the requirements of the
Code, the Regulations and any applicable interpretive guidance with respect thereto
as may control at the time, or (ii) any lease or other arrangement with any entity
other than a governmental entity that gives such entity special legal entitlements
with respect to any portion of the Facilities. Also, the payment of principal and
interest with respect to the Bonds shall not be guaranteed (in whole or in part) by
the United States or any agency or instrumentality of the United States. The
proceeds of the Bonds, or amounts treated as proceeds of the Bonds, shall not be
invested (directly or indirectly) in federally insured deposits or accounts, except to
the extent such proceeds (i) may be so invested for an initial temporary period until
needed for the purpose for which the Bonds are being issued, (ii) may be so used in
making investments of a bona fide debt service fund or (iii) may be invested in
obligations issued by the United States Treasury.

is necessary in order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal
income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds.

(b) (1) The City shall take all necessary and desirable steps, as determined
by the Council, to comply with the requirements hereunder in order to ensure that
interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes under the Code; provided, however, compliance with any such
requirement shall not be required in the event the City receives a Bond Counsel’s
Opinion that either (i) compliance with such requirement is not required to maintain
the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds, or (ii) compliance with
some other requirement will meet the requirements of the Code. In the event the
City receives such a Bond Counsel’s Opinion, this resolution shall be amended to
conform to the requirements set forth in such opinion.

(2) If for any reason any requirement hereunder is not complied with,
the Council shall take all necessary and desirable steps, as determined by the City,
to correct such noncompliance within a reasonable period of time after such
noncompliance is discovered or should have been discovered with the exercise of
reasonable diligence and the City shall pay any required interest or penalty under
Regulations Section 1.148-3(h).

the City shall comply.

be the price at which a willing buyer would purchase the Nonpurpose

States; and

(2) the highest yield that is published or posted by the provider to be
currently available from the provider on reasonably comparable certificates

investment contract, including all material terms, is timely forwarded to all
potential providers. The solicitation must include a statement that the
submission of a bid is a representation that the potential provider did not
consult with any other potential provider about its bid, that the bid was
determined without regard to any other formal or informal agreement that
the potential provider has with the City or any other person (whether or not
in connection with the Bonds), and that the bid is not being submitted solely

requirements in the Regulations that the City receive bids from at least one
reasonably competitive provider and at least three providers that do not have
a material financial interest in the Bonds.

(2) All potential providers have an equal opportunity to bid, with no
potential provider having the opportunity to review other bids before
providing a bid.

(3) At least three reasonably competitive providers (i.e., having an
established industry reputation as a competitive provider of the type of
investments being purchased) are solicited for bids. At least three bids must
be received from providers that have no material financial interest in the
Bonds (e.g., a lead underwriter within 15 days of the issue date of the Bonds
ora financial advisor with respect to the investment) and at least one of such
three bids must be from a reasonably competitive provider. If the City uses
an agent to conduct the bidding, the agent may not bid.

(5) The determination of the terms of the guaranteed investment
contract takes into account as a significant factor the reasonably expected
deposit and drawdown schedule for the amounts to be invested.

(6) The terms for the guaranteed investment contract are commercially
reasonable (i.e., have a legitimate business purpose other than to increase
the purchase price or reduce the yield of the guaranteed investment
contract).

(7) The provider of the investment contract certifies the administrative
costs (as defined in Regulations Section 1.148-5(e)) that it pays (or expects
to pay) to third parties in connection with the guaranteed investment
contract.

retired, (i) a copy of the guaranteed investment contract, (ii) a receipt or
other record of the amount actually paid for the guaranteed investment
contract, including any administrative costs paid by the City and a copy of
the provider’s certification described in (7) above, (iii) the name of the
person and entity submitting each bid, the time and date of the bid, and the
bid results and (iv) the bid solicitation form and, if the terms of the
guaranteed investment contract deviates from the bid solicitation form or a
submitted bid is modified, a brief statement explaining the deviation and
stating the purpose of the deviation.

(h) The employment of such experts and consultants to make, as necessary, any
calculations in respect of rebates to be made to the United States of America in
accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code is hereby authorized.

(a) This resolution shall constitute a contract between the City and the
registered owners of the Bonds and shall not be repealed or amended in any manner
which would impair, impede or lessen the rights of the registered owners of the
Bonds then outstanding.

(b) If any section, paragraph, subdivision, sentence, clause or phrase of this

not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this resolution. The Council
