Section 11-57-204 of the Supplemental Act provides that a public entity, including the GID, may elect in an act of issuance to apply all or any of the provisions of the Supplemental Act. The Board hereby elects to apply all of the Supplemental Act to the Bonds. The Bonds are issued under the authority of the Supplemental Act and shall so recite. Pursuant to Section 11-57-210 C.R.S., such recital conclusively imparts full compliance with all provisions of said sections, and the Bonds issued containing such recital shall be incontestable for any cause whatsoever after their delivery for value.

SECTION II.02 Terms of the Bonds. For the purpose of defraying the entire cost and expense to the GID of the Project, there shall be issued the GID’s special assessment bonds designated as the "Rimrock Marketplace Special Assessment Bonds, Series 2002" in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $3,980,000, which Bonds shall be dated as the date of delivery of the Bonds and shall be in the form of fully registered Bonds in denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The Bonds shall bear interest at the rates per annum designated in the Sales Certificate, from the most recent interest payment date for which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or if no interest has been paid, from the date of the Bonds, to their respective maturity, payable semiannually on the dates set forth in the Sale Certificate.
The Bonds shall mature, bear interest from their dated date to maturity or prior redemption and be sold, all as provided in the Sale Certificate; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds shall not exceed $3,980,000; (b) the net effective interest rate of the Bonds does not exceed the maximum net effective interest rate authorized at the November 6, 2001 election; (c) the Bonds shall mature no later than December 1, 2017; and (d) the purchase price of the Bonds shall not be less than 97%.
The Bonds shall mature on December 1 in each of the years and in the amounts designated in the Sales Certificate. The principal of each Bond shall be payable at the Principal Corporate Trust Office upon presentation and surrender of the Bond. Except as provided in Section 2.09 hereof, payment of interest on any Bond shall be made to the Holder thereof, as of the close of business on the Record Date for such interest payment date, by check mailed by the Paying Agent to such Holder’s address as it appears on the registration records kept by the Registrar, but any such interest not so timely paid shall cease to be payable to the Holder thereof as of the close of business on the Record Date and shall be payable to the Holder thereof as of the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of any such defaulted interest. Such Special Record Date shall be fixed whenever moneys become available for payment of the defaulted interest, and notice of the Special Record Date shall be given to such Holders not less than ten days prior thereto by first-class postage prepaid mail, stating the date of the Special Record Date and the date fixed for the payment of such defaulted interest. The Paying Agent may make payments of interest on any Bond by such alternative means as may be mutually agreed to in writing between the Holder of such Bond and the Paying Agent. If any Bond is not paid upon its presentation and surrender at or after its maturity or prior redemption and moneys are not available therefor, interest shall continue at its stated rate per annum until the principal thereof is paid in full. Interest on the Bonds shall be calculated based on a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months. All such payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.
The Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Bonds may request in writing that the Paying Agent pay the interest thereon by wire transfer to an account in the United States, such request to be filed with the Paying Agent not later than the applicable Record Date.
SECTION II.03 Redemption of Bonds.
(a) The Bonds shall be subject to redemption at the option of the GID from any legally available funds on the dates set forth in the Sales Certificate in whole, or in part from any maturities, in any order of maturity and by lot within a maturity in such manner as the GID may determine (giving proportionate weight to Bonds in denominations larger than $5,000), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of each Bond, or portion thereof, so redeemed and accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, plus a premium of not more than 3% as set forth in the Sales Certificate.
Any Assessment that is voluntarily prepaid shall be used to redeem Bonds on the next interest payment date that is at least 45 days after receipt of such prepayment; provided that the amount of any such prepaid Assessment that is less than $5,000 and cannot be used by such interest payment date to redeem Bonds may be used to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds due on such interest payment date; and provided further that all or any portion of such prepaid Assessment may be used to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds if necessary to avoid or cure a default in payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds. The Paying Agent shall not be required to give notice of any such redemption unless it has received written instructions from the GID in regard thereto at least twenty days prior to such redemption date; provided, that the Paying Agent may waive said twenty-day requirement.
(b) The Term Bonds shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption at the times, in the amounts and at the prices provided in the Sales Certificate. Not more than sixty days nor less than fifteen days prior to each such sinking fund redemption date, the Registrar, shall proceed to redeem the Bonds so designated for mandatory prior redemption from such sinking fund on the next sinking fund redemption date, and shall give notice of such redemption as provided in Section 2.04 without further instruction or notice from the GID.
At its option, to be exercised on or before the sixtieth day next preceding each sinking fund redemption date, the GID may (i) deliver to the Registrar, for cancellation, Term Bonds of the appropriate maturity in an aggregate principal amount desired by the GID, or (ii) specify a principal amount of Term Bonds of the appropriate maturity, which prior to said date have been redeemed (other than through the operation of the sinking fund) and canceled by the Registrar or the Paying Agent and not theretofore applied as a credit against any sinking fund redemption obligation. Each such Term Bond or portion thereof so delivered or previously redeemed will be credited by the Registrar at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the obligation of the GID on such sinking fund redemption date and any excess over such amount shall be credited against future sinking fund redemption obligations for the Term Bonds of that, maturity in chronological order or any other order specified by the GID.
(c) If less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected proportionately from each outstanding maturity of the Bonds, including any sinking fund installments pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, unless the Treasurer determines that even using a different method of selecting Bonds to be redeemed the Assessment Installments will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest of the Bonds that would remain outstanding on each interest payment date subsequent to the redemption date. The redemption premium, if any, shall be paid from a prepayment penalty provided for in the Assessment Ordinance; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the payment of any such redemption premium from any other funds available for that purpose. In the case of Bonds of a denomination larger than $5,000, a portion of such Bond ($5,000 or any integral multiple thereof) may be redeemed, in which case the Registrar shall, at the request of, and without charge to, the owner of such Bond, authenticate and issue a replacement Bond or Bonds for the unredeemed portion thereof.
SECTION II.04 Notice of Redemption.
(a) Unless waived by the Holder of a Bond to be redeemed, notice of redemption shall be given by the Registrar in the name of the GID by mailing such notice at least fifteen days and not more than sixty days prior to the redemption date, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of the Bonds to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the registration records. Failure to give such notice to the Holder of any Bond, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Bonds. All such notices of redemption shall be dated and shall state: (i) the redemption date, (ii) the redemption price, (iii) if less than all outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed, (iv) that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date, and (v) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the Principal Corporate Trust Office. Except as provided in subsection (c) below, after such notice has been given in the manner provided herein, the Bond or Bonds called for redemption shall become due and payable on the designated redemption date, and upon presentation and surrender thereof the GID shall pay the Bond or Bonds called for redemption. Installments of interest due on the redemption date shall be payable as provided in this Ordinance for the payment of interest. A certificate by the Registrar that a notice of redemption has been given as herein set forth shall be conclusive and receipt by the Bondholder of a notice of redemption shall not be a condition precedent to the redemption of that Bond.
(b) All Bonds redeemed pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be canceled and destroyed by the Paying Agent and shall not be reissued.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, any notice of redemption may contain a statement that the redemption is conditioned upon the receipt by the Paying Agent of funds on or before the date fixed for redemption sufficient to pay the redemption price of the bonds so called for redemption, and that if such funds are not available, such redemption shall be canceled by written notice to the Holders of the Bonds called for redemption in the same manner as the original redemption notice was mailed.
SECTION II.05 Execution of Bonds. Pursuant to Section 11-55-103, C.R.S., the President, the Secretary and Treasurer shall each file with the Secretary of State his or her manual signature certified under oath. Thereafter, each of the Bonds shall be signed and executed in the name of the GID with the manual or facsimile signature of the President, countersigned with the manual or facsimile signature of the Treasurer, and attested with the manual or facsimile of the signature of the Secretary. The seal of the GID or a facsimile thereof shall be affixed to each Bond. The Bonds bearing the signatures of the officers in office at the time of the signing thereof shall be the valid and binding obligations of the GID (subject to the requirement of authentication by the Registrar as hereinafter provided), notwithstanding that before the delivery thereof and payment therefor any or all of the persons whose signatures appear thereon shall have ceased to fill their respective offices. Any officer herein authorized or permitted to sign any Bond at the time of its execution and of the execution of a signature certificate may adopt as and for his or her own facsimile signature, the facsimile signature of his or her predecessor in office in the event that such facsimile signature appears upon the Bond. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless the certificate of authentication, substantially in the form hereinafter provided, has been duly executed by the manual signature of the Registrar (or a duly authorized officer thereof), and such certificate of authentication of the Registrar upon any Bond shall be the only competent evidence that such Bond has been duly issued and delivered.
SECTION II.06 Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Bonds. If any Bond shall be lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, the Registrar shall, upon receipt of such evidence or information relating thereto, appropriate indemnification, and such reimbursement for expenses as it may reasonably require, register and deliver to the Holder thereof a replacement for such Bond bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Bond shall have matured, the Registrar shall direct the Paying Agent to pay such Bond in lieu of replacement.
SECTION II.07 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. Records for the registration and transfer of the Bonds shall be kept by the Registrar. A Bond shall be fully transferable by the Holder thereof in person or by such Holder’s duly authorized attorney on the registration records kept at the office of the Registrar upon presentation of the Bond together with a duly executed written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar. Upon the surrender for transfer of any Bond at the Principal Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an assignment (in form satisfactory to the Registrar) duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Bond or Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number or numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. Bonds may be exchanged at the Principal Corporate Trust Office for an equal aggregate principal amount of Bonds of other authorized denominations. The Registrar may require the owner or transferee to pay any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange, and may charge a sum sufficient to pay the cost of preparing and authenticating a new Bond. No such charges shall be levied in the case of an exchange resulting from the redemption of a portion of a Bond. The Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange (i) any Bond during the period beginning on and including the 15th day before the date of the mailing by the Registrar of a notice of redemption of Bonds and ending at the close of business on the date such notice is mailed, or (ii) any Bond after the mailing of notice calling such Bond or any portion thereof for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Bond redeemed in part as herein provided. Whenever any Bond shall be surrendered to the Paying Agent upon payment thereof, or to the Registrar for replacement as provided herein, such Bond shall be promptly canceled and destroyed by the Paying Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, and a certificate of such destruction shall be prepared by the Paying Agent or Registrar.
The person in whose name a Bond shall be registered on the registration records kept by the Registrar shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and neither the GID, the Paying Agent nor the Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Bond shall be made only to or upon the written order of the Holder thereof or such Holder’s legal representative (except as provided above for the payment of interest to the Holder as of the Record Date or a Special Record Date). All such payments shall be valid and effectual to discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
The foregoing provisions of this Section are subject to the provisions of Section 2.09 hereof.
SECTION II.08 Bonds as Negotiable Instruments. Subject to the registration provisions hereof, the Bonds shall be fully negotiable and shall have all the qualities of negotiable paper, and the Holder or Holders thereof shall possess all rights enjoyed by the holders of negotiable instruments under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code - Negotiable Instruments and the Uniform Commercial Code - Investment Securities.
SECTION II.09 Book Entry System. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.02 and 2.07 hereof, the Bonds shall initially be evidenced by one Bond for each year in which Bonds mature in denominations equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing in that year or as otherwise required by the securities depository for the Bonds. Such initially delivered Bonds shall be registered in the name of "Cede & Co.," as nominee for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), the securities depository for the Bonds. So long as the Bonds are held by DTC, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the GID may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to the Holders under this Ordinance, registering the transfer of such Bonds, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by the Holders and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Paying Agent, the Registrar nor the GID shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Paying Agent, the Registrar nor the GID shall have any responsibility or obligation to any DTC participant or indirect participant, any beneficial owner of the Bonds, or any other person which is not shown on the registration records of the Registrar as being a Holder with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any DTC participant or indirect participant; the payment by DTC or any DTC participant or indirect participant of any amount in respect of the Bonds; any notice which is permitted or required to be given to the Holders under this Ordinance; the selection by DTC or any DTC participant or indirect participant of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds or any consent given or other action taken by DTC as owner. After such initial issuance of the Bonds, the Bonds may not thereafter be transferred or exchanged except:
(a) to any successor of DTC or its nominee, which successor must be both a "clearing corporation" as defined in Section 4-8-102(5), C.R.S., and a qualified and registered "clearing agency" under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or
(b) upon the resignation of DTC or a successor or new depository under paragraph (a) or this paragraph b, or a determination by the GID that DTC or such successor or new depository is no longer able to carry out its functions, and the designation by the GID of another depository institution, which new depository institution must be both a "clearing corporation" as defined in Section 4-8-102(5), C.R.S., and a qualified and registered if clearing agency" under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to carry out the functions of DTC or such successor or new depository; or
(c) upon the resignation of DTC or a successor or new depository under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), or a determination by the GID that DTC or such successor or new depository is no longer able to carry out its functions, and the failure by the GID, after reasonable investigation, within 90 days thereafter to locate another qualified depository institution under paragraph (b) to carry out such depository functions or upon a determination by the GID that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the Bonds that they be able to obtain Bond certificates, and the delivery by the GID of written notice thereof to the Registrar and the Paying Agent.
In the case of a transfer to a successor of DTC or its nominee as referred to in paragraph (a) above or designation of a new depository pursuant to paragraph (b) above, upon receipt of the Bonds by the Registrar, together with written instructions for transfer satisfactory to the Registrar, a new Bond shall be issued to such successor or new depository, as the case may be, or its nominee, as is specified in such written transfer instructions. In the case of a resignation or determination under paragraph (c) above and, if applicable, the failure after reasonable investigation within 90 days thereafter to locate another qualified depository institution for the Bonds as provided in paragraph (c) above, and upon receipt of the Bonds by the Registrar, together with written instructions for transfer satisfactory to the Registrar, new Bonds shall be issued in the denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof, as provided in Section 2.02 hereof, registered in the names of such persons and in such denominations as are requested in such written transfer instructions; provided, however, the Registrar shall not be required to deliver such new Bonds within a period of less than 60 days from the date of receipt of such written transfer instructions.
The GID, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall endeavor to cooperate with DTC or any successor or new depository named pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above in effectuating payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds by arranging for payment in such a manner that funds representing such payments are available to the depository on the date they are due.
Upon any partial redemption of any of the Bonds, Cede & Co. (or its successor) in its discretion may request the GID to issue and authenticate a new Bond or shall make an appropriate notation on the Bond indicating the date and amount of prepayment, except in the case of final maturity, in which case the Bond must be presented to the Paying Agent prior to payment.
SECTION II.10 Form of Bond; Recital. Subject to the provisions of this Ordinance, the Bonds shall be in substantially the form set forth in Appendix A attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, with such omissions, insertions, endorsements and variations as may be required by the circumstances, be required or permitted by this Ordinance, or necessary or appropriate to conform to the rules and requirements of any governmental authority or any usage or requirement of law with respect thereto. Pursuant to 11-57-210, C.R.S., the Bonds shall contain a recital that they are issued pursuant to the Supplemental Act, which recital shall conclusively impart full compliance with all of the provisions of the Act, and all Bonds issued containing such recital shall be incontestable for any cause whatsoever after their delivery for value.
ARTICLE III.
DELIVERY OF BONDS; FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS
SECTION III.01 Delivery of Bonds; Application of Proceeds. When the Bonds have been duly executed and authenticated, they shall be delivered to the Purchaser upon receipt of the agreed purchase price. The proceeds realized by the GID from the sale of the Bonds (net of the Purchaser’s discount) shall be applied as follows:
(a) an amount equal to interest on the Bonds from the date of issuance to date set forth in the Sale Certificate, shall be deposited to the Bond Fund;
(b) an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement shall be deposited in the Reserve Fund; and
(c) the remainder of such proceeds shall be deposited in the Construction Fund.
SECTION III.02 Construction Fund. There is hereby created a special fund to be held by the Treasurer to be designated as the "Rimrock Marketplace Construction Fund." All money in the Construction Fund shall be applied by the GID for the payment of the cost (as defined in the Act) of the acquisition and improvement of the Project, which includes the payment of the costs of issuance of the Bonds, all in accordance with the Financing Agreement. The amount of any income realized from the investment of the money in the Construction Fund shall be retained in the Construction Fund or, at the option of the GID, transferred to the Rebate Fund. When the acquisition and improvement of the Project have been completed, the GID shall either (i) transfer any remaining balance of money in the Construction Fund to the Bond Fund or (ii) retain such balance in the Construction Fund to be applied for the payment of the cost of any additional projects permitted by the Act and agreed to by the GID and the Developer pursuant to the Financing Agreement. Any such moneys transferred to the Bond Fund shall be credited against the interest due on the Assessments, as provided in the Assessment Ordinance.
SECTION III.03 Bond Fund. There is hereby created a special account to be held by the Treasurer and to be designated as the "Rimrock Marketplace Bond Fund." The Treasurer is authorized, empowered and directed, and it shall be his or her duty, to receive, collect and enforce the payment of all Assessments made and levied for the Project, and all installments thereof and all interest and penalties thereon, as provided by law and as prescribed by the Assessment Ordinance, and to pay and disburse said payments, the installments thereof and the interest and penalties thereon, to the person or persons entitled thereto pursuant to the provisions of this Ordinance, the Financing Agreement and the Act. All moneys received from the Assessments, including principal and interest and all penalties thereon, and all other amounts specified by this Ordinance shall be deposited in the Bond Fund (except to the extent required to replenish the Bond Reserve Fund). All moneys deposited in the Bond Fund shall be used as soon as the funds are available for the purpose of paying or prepaying the principal of and the interest and redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds as they become due and payable, and (except as provided herein and in the Financing Agreement) for no other purpose whatsoever, and the Bond Fund is hereby pledged as security for such purposes. Interest and other earnings or gain on moneys in the Bond Fund shall (i) prior to the completion of the acquisition and improvement of the Project (including any additional projects pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof) but in no event later than December 1, 2004, be transferred quarterly to the Construction Fund, and (ii) after such completion, be retained in the Bond Fund.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2003, (after the Treasurer has paid the principal of and the interest and redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds due and payable on such December 1) the Treasurer shall determine the amount of Excess Revenues that are anticipated in the sole discretion of the Treasurer to be needed for Administration Costs and Contingencies and shall transfer such amount to the Administration Fund. Any Excess Revenues not so transferred to the Administration Fund shall remain in the Bond Fund and shall be applied as Assessment Credits. The Bonds and the interest thereon shall be payable from the Bond Fund, which shall contain the receipts upon the collection of the Assessments and the remainder of the Trust Estate.
This section does not prevent the GID from amending this Ordinance, the Assessment Ordinance or any other documents executed in connection with the Bonds to provide for other uses of Excess Revenues in connection with a refunding of the Bonds. The owners of the property assessed in the District have no entitlement to payment of Excess Revenues in the event of such an amendment.
SECTION III.04 Reserve Fund.
(a) There is hereby created a special fund to be held by the Treasurer to be designated as the "Rimrock Marketplace Bond Reserve Fund."
Whenever there is a deficiency in the Bond Fund, the deficiency shall be paid from amounts in the Bond Reserve Fund. The Bond Reserve Fund shall be a continuing reserve to secure the payment of the Bonds by meeting possible deficiencies in the payment of the principal of and the interest on the Bonds resulting from the failure to deposit into the Bond Fund sufficient funds to pay the principal and interest on the Bonds as the same become due. The GID hereby pledges the Bond Reserve Fund for such purpose.
(b) The Bond Reserve Fund will be used as additional security for the Bonds to pay any principal and interest on the Bonds when due, if the payments of the Assessment Installments are insufficient for that purpose.
(c) All amounts in the Bond Reserve Fund in excess of the Reserve Requirement derived from interest earned on amounts in the Bond Reserve Fund or otherwise shall be applied to the following in the following order of priority:
(i) First, when needed to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds then due to the extent not provided from Bond proceeds or from the Assessment Installments and interest. Interest used under this clause to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be applied before a withdrawal is made from the balance in the Bond Reserve Fund.
(ii) Second, when needed for transfer to the Administration Fund to pay Administration Costs.
(iii) Third, at the time of any prepayment of any Assessment, to provide any credit then owed under paragraph (e) of this section.
(iv) Fourth, prior to the completion of the acquisition and improvement of the Project (including any additional projects pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof), to be transferred to the Construction Fund.
(v) Fifth, on December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2003, to be transferred to the Bond Fund and applied as Assessment Credits.
(d) If because of any delinquent Assessment an amount is withdrawn from the Bond Reserve Fund to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds, and that Assessment is later paid in whole or in part (or amounts are received at a foreclosure sale or otherwise as a result of enforcing the payment of such delinquent Assessment), to the extent available from that payment of the delinquent Assessment (including penalty and interest but after payment of costs of collection), an amount equal to the amount necessary to restore the Bond Reserve Fund to the Reserve Requirement, shall be paid to the Bond Reserve Fund from the payment of the delinquent Assessment.
(e) At the time the Assessment against any parcel of property is voluntarily prepaid in full or in part, (i) the person who owned the property at the time of the prepayment in full or in part shall be entitled to a credit equal to a pro rata share of the Reserve Requirement, based upon the amount of the Assessment prepaid, and (ii) the Reserve Requirement shall then be recalculated to reflect such credit. The credit shall be withdrawn from the Bond Reserve Fund only to the extent the balance in the Bond Reserve Fund after applying the credit would not be less than the Reserve Requirement, as recalculated, but if this limitation prevents all or a part of such a credit, that credit (or, an additional partial credit, as the case may be) shall be made if and when money is available in the Bond Reserve Fund to apply such credit and as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) of this section. This section does not prevent the GID from amending this Ordinance, the Assessment Ordinance or any other documents executed in connection with the Bonds to provide for other uses of the Bond Reserve Fund in connection with a refunding of the Bonds and the owners of the property assessed in the District have no entitlement to payment of any amounts in the Bond Reserve Fund in the event of such an amendment.
SECTION III.05 Administration Fund. There is hereby created a special account to be held by the Treasurer and designated "Rimrock Marketplace Administration Fund." Amounts in the Administration Fund shall be used to pay Administration Costs and Contingencies.
SECTION III.06 Rebate Fund. There is hereby created a special account to be held by the Treasurer and designated "Rimrock Marketplace Rebate Fund." There shall be deposited into the Rebate Fund any amounts paid by the GID for deposit therein. The Rebate Fund shall be held by the Treasurer, but such Fund and the moneys therein shall not constitute part of the Trust Estate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance or of the Financing Agreement, any investment income or other earnings or gain on moneys in the Construction Fund, the Bond Fund or the Bond Reserve Fund may be transferred to the Rebate Fund to enable the GID to satisfy the requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. Moneys in the Rebate Fund shall be paid to the United States of America by the GID in the amounts and at the times required by the Code. Any excess moneys contained in the Rebate Fund shall be transferred to the Bond Fund. Upon payment of all amounts due to the United States of America pursuant to Section 148 of the Code, any moneys remaining in the Rebate Fund shall be transferred to the GID’s general fund.
SECTION III.07 Investment of Moneys in Funds and Accounts. Amounts in all of the funds and accounts established pursuant to the Ordinance may be invested by the GID in securities that are permitted investments for GID funds under the laws of the State of Colorado. Investment income is to remain in such funds and accounts unless otherwise provided herein.
ARTICLE IV.
PLEDGE OF TRUST ESTATE; ENFORCEMENT OF ASSESSMENTS
SECTION IV.01 Pledge of Trust Estate. The Trust Estate is hereby irrevocably pledged to and shall be used for the punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, and for payment of the continuing costs of the Bonds as set forth in Section 3.03 hereof, and the Trust Estate shall not be used for any other purpose while any of the Bonds remain outstanding. The pledge of the Assessment Installments shall constitute a first and exclusive lien on the Assessment Installments for the foregoing purposes in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that pursuant to the Act such lien is coequal with the latest lien on the real property in the District to secure the payment of general (ad valorem) taxes.
SECTION IV.02 Enforcement of Assessments. Upon a default in the due and punctual payment of any Assessment Installment due hereunder and under the Assessment Ordinance, the Treasurer promptly (but in no event later than 45 days after the installment due date) shall mark the Assessment Installment delinquent on the assessment roll for the District and shall notify the owner of such delinquent property, if known, in writing of such delinquency, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such owner’s last-known address. The collection of the Assessments shall be enforced by the Treasurer and other officers of the GID as provided in Title 31, Article 25, Part 5, C.R.S., and the assessment roll and certified copy of the Assessment Ordinance shall be prima facie evidence of the regularity of the proceeding.
The Board shall direct the Treasurer to give notice of the sale of the property subject to the lien of the delinquent Assessment Installment, or all of the Assessment with respect to such property if the Board has exercised its option to cause the whole amount of the unpaid Assessment with respect to such property to become due and payable (subject to the provisions of Section 4.03 hereof), and shall sell such property as provided in and pursuant to the Act. In the event that the owner of such property does not prior to the day of sale pay the amount of all delinquent Assessment Installments, with accrued interest thereon and penalties and costs of collection (as further provided in the Assessment Ordinance), and such property is not sold to a third party purchaser at such sale, the property may be stricken off to the GID and held in trust for the benefit of the District pursuant to the Act.
Upon the sale of real property which is the subject of such delinquent Assessment Installment, or upon the owner of such property paying prior to the day of sale the amount of all delinquent Assessment Installments and accrued interest and penalties thereon, the GID shall deposit such moneys received in the Bond Reserve Fund, if necessary, and then in the Bond Fund.
SECTION IV.03 Action by Holders. Upon a default in the due and punctual payment of an Assessment Installment and if sale proceedings are not promptly filed and diligently prosecuted by the GID, then any Holder may:
(a) file and prosecute a foreclosure action in the name of the GID, and
(b) proceed against the GID to protect and enforce the rights of the Holders under the Act or hereunder by suit, action or special proceedings in equity or at law, either for the appointment of a receiver or for the specific performance of any provisions contained in the Act or herein or in an award of execution of any power granted for the enforcement of any proper legal or equitable remedy as such Holder may deem most effectual to protect and enforce the rights aforesaid.
All such proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained for the equal benefit of all Holders then outstanding. The failure of the Holders so to foreclose upon the property that is the subject of such delinquent Assessment Installment, or so to proceed against the GID, or both, shall not relieve the GID or any of its officers, agents or employees of its duty so to take the actions set forth in Section 4.02.
ARTICLE V.
COVENANTS
SECTION V.01 Books and Records. The GID covenants for the benefit of the Holders that so long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding, the GID shall keep or cause to be kept true and accurate books of records and accounts showing full and true entries covering the collection and disposition of the Assessment Installments, as well as any delinquencies in the collection thereof, covering deposits in and disbursements from the Construction Fund, the Bond Fund, the Bond Reserve Fund, the Administration Fund and the Rebate Fund, and covering the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds. The GID shall permit an inspection and examination of all records and accounts at all reasonable times by a representative of the Purchaser and any property owner in the District.
SECTION V.02 Continuing Disclosure. The GID covenants for the benefit of the Holders to comply with the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate in substantially the form presented to the Board at this meeting with only such changes therein, if any, as are not inconsistent herewith. The President is hereby authorized and directed to execute the Continuing Disclosure Certificate and the Secretary is hereby authorized and directed to affix the seal of the GID thereon and to attest the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. As a condition precedent to the issuance of the Bonds, the Developer shall execute and deliver the Developer’s Continuing Disclosure Certificate in substantially the form presented to the Board at this meeting with only such changes therein, if any, as are not inconsistent herewith. The Developer’s Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall provide that any Bondholder or beneficial owner of the Bonds may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate to cause the Developer to comply with its obligations thereunder.
SECTION V.03 Tax Covenants. The GID covenants for the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds that it shall not take any action or omit to take any action with respect to the Bonds, the proceeds thereof, any other funds of the GID or any facilities financed with the proceeds of the Bonds if such action or omission (i) would cause the interest on the Bonds to lose its exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Code, or (ii) would cause interest on the Bonds to lose its exclusion from alternative minimum taxable income as defined in Section 55(b)(2) of the Code, except to the extent such interest is required to be included in the adjusted current earnings adjustment applicable to corporations under Section 56 of the Code in calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income. The foregoing covenant shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the payment in full or defeasance of the Bonds until the date on which all obligations of the GID in fulfilling the above covenant under the Code have been met.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.03, if the GID shall obtain an Opinion of Counsel that any specified action required under this Section 5.03 is no longer required or that some further or different action is required to maintain the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds, the GID may conclusively rely on such opinion in complying with the requirements of this Section, and the covenants hereunder shall be deemed to be modified to that extent.
ARTICLE VI.

Wells Fargo Bank West, National Association is hereby appointed as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Bonds for the purpose of paying the interest on and principal of and redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds presented for payment at the Principal Corporate Trust Office, with the rights and obligations provided herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Treasurer may elect to serve as Registrar and/or Paying Agent. It shall not be required that the same institution or person serve as both Registrar and Paying Agent hereunder, but the GID shall have the right to have the same institution or person serve as both Registrar and Paying Agent hereunder.

The GID may, upon not less than fourteen (14) days prior written notice (which notice may be waived by the Registrar or Paying Agent), remove the Registrar or Paying Agent initially appointed and any successor thereto and may appoint a successor or successors thereto by an instrument in writing; provided that any such successor shall be either (i) the Treasurer or (ii) a bank or trust company subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority.

This Ordinance may be amended or supplemented by Supplemental Ordinance adopted by the Board, without the receipt by the GID of any additional consideration, with the written consent of the Holders of not less than sixty per cent (60%) of the Bonds outstanding at the time of the adoption of such Supplemental Ordinance, provided, however, that no Supplemental Ordinance shall have the effect of permitting:

Bonds owned or held by or for the account of the GID shall not be deemed Outstanding for the purpose of any consent or other action or any calculation of Outstanding Bonds provided in this article, and shall not be entitled to consent to or take any other action provided in this article.
SECTION VII.04 Endorsement or Replacement of Bonds After Amendment. After the effective date of any action taken as provided in this Article VII, the GID may determine that the Bonds may bear a notation by endorsement in form approved by the GID as to such action, and in that case upon demand of the Holder of any Outstanding Bonds and presentation of his Bond for such purpose at the Principal Corporate Trust Office, a suitable notation as to such action shall be made on such Bond. If the GID shall so determine, new Bonds so modified as, in the opinion of the GID, shall be necessary to conform to such action shall be prepared and executed, and in that case upon demand of the Holder of any Outstanding Bond a new Bond or Bonds shall be exchanged at the Principal Corporate Trust Office without cost to each Holder for its Bond or Bonds then Outstanding upon surrender of such Outstanding Bonds.
SECTION VII.05 Amendment by Mutual Consent. The provisions of this article shall not prevent any Holder from accepting any amendment as to the particular Bonds held by such Holder, provided that due notation thereof is made on such Bonds.
ARTICLE VIII.
DEFEASANCE
SECTION VIII.01 Discharge of Bonds.
(a) If the GID shall pay or cause to be paid or there shall otherwise be paid to the Holders of all Outstanding Bonds the interest thereon and the principal thereof and the redemption premiums, if any, thereon at the times and in the manner stipulated herein and therein, then the Holders of such Bonds shall cease to be entitled to the pledge of and charge and lien upon the Trust Estate as provided herein, and all agreements, covenants and other obligations of the GID to the Holders of such Bonds hereunder shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied. In such event, the Paying Agent shall execute and deliver to the GID all such instruments as may be necessary or desirable to evidence such discharge and satisfaction.
(b) Any Outstanding Bonds shall prior to the maturity date or redemption date thereof be deemed to have been paid within the meaning of and with the effect expressed in subsection (a) of this section if (1) in case any of such Bonds are to be redeemed on any date prior to their maturity date, the GID shall have given to the Paying Agent in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to provide notice in accordance with Section 2.04, (2) there shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent either (A) money in an amount which shall be sufficient or (B) Government Obligations that are not subject to redemption prior to maturity (including any such Government Obligations issued or held in book-entry form on the books of the Treasury of the United States of America) the interest on and principal of which when paid will provide money which, together with the money, if any, deposited with the Paying Agent at the same time, shall be sufficient, as set forth in a written report of an Independent Certified Public Accountant, to pay when due the interest to become due on such Bonds on and prior to the maturity date or redemption date thereof, as the case may be, and the principal of and redemption premiums, if any, on such Bonds, and (3) in the event such Bonds are not by their terms subject to redemption within the next succeeding sixty (60) days, the GID shall have given the Paying Agent in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to mail as soon as practicable, a notice to the Holders of such Bonds that the deposit required by clause (2) above has been made with the Paying Agent and that such Bonds are deemed to have been paid in accordance with this section and stating the maturity date or redemption date upon which money is to be available for the payment of the principal of and redemption premiums, if any, on such Bonds. If a forward supply contract is employed in connection with such defeasance of the Bonds, (i) the written report of the Independent Certified Accountant shall expressly state that the adequacy of the escrow to accomplish the defeasance relies solely on the initial escrowed investments and the maturing principal thereof and interest income thereon and does not assume performance under or compliance with the forward supply contract, and (ii) the applicable escrow agreement shall provide that in the event of any discrepancy or difference among the terms of the forward supply contract and the escrow agreement and this Ordinance, the terms of the escrow agreement and this Ordinance shall be controlling.
SECTION VIII.02 Unclaimed Money. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any money held by the Paying Agent in trust for the payment and discharge of any of the Bonds that remains unclaimed for two (2) years after the date when such Bonds have become due and payable, either at their stated maturity dates or by call for redemption prior to maturity, if such money was held by the Paying Agent at such date, or for two (2) years after the date of deposit of such money if deposited with the Paying Agent after the date when such Bonds have become due and payable, shall be repaid by the Paying Agent to the GID as its absolute property free from trust, and the Paying Agent shall thereupon be released and discharged with respect thereto and the Holders shall not look to the Paying Agent for the payment of such Bonds; provided, however, that before being required to make any such payment to the GID, the Paying Agent may, and at the request of the GID shall, at the expense of the GID, cause to be published once a week for two (2) successive weeks in a financial newspaper of general circulation in Grand Junction, Colorado and in the same or a similar financial newspaper of general circulation in New York, New York, a notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date named in such notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the date of the first publication of each such notice, the balance of such money then unclaimed will be returned to the GID.
ARTICLE IX.
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION IX.01 Liability of GID Limited. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the GID shall not be required to advance any money derived from any source other than the Trust Estate as provided herein for the payment of the interest on or principal of or redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds or for the performance of any agreements or covenants herein contained. The GID may, however, advance funds for any such purpose so long as such funds are derived from a source legally available for such purpose without incurring any indebtedness.
The Bonds are limited obligations of the GID and are payable, as to interest thereon, principal thereof and any premiums upon the redemption of any thereof, solely from the Trust Estate as provided herein, and the GID is not obligated to pay them except from the Trust Estate. All the Bonds are equally secured by a pledge of and charge and lien upon the Trust Estate, and the Trust Estate constitutes security for the payment of the interest on and principal of and redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds as provided herein.
SECTION IX.02 Benefits of the Ordinance Limited. Nothing contained herein, expressed or implied, is intended to give to any person other than the GID, the Paying Agent, and the Holders any right, remedy or claim under or by reason hereof. Any agreement or covenant required herein to be performed by or on behalf of the GID or any member, officer or employee thereof shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Paying Agent, and the Holders.
SECTION IX.03 Successor Is Deemed included In All References To Predecessor. Whenever herein either the GID or any member, officer or employee thereof or of the State is named or referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successor to the powers, duties and functions with respect to the District that are presently vested in the GID or such member, officer or employee, and all agreements and covenants required hereby to be performed by or on behalf of the GID or any member, officer or employee thereof shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors thereof whether so expressed or not.
SECTION IX.04 Execution of Documents by Holders. Any declaration, request or other instrument that is permitted or required herein to be executed by Holders may be in one or more instruments of similar tenor and may be executed by Holders in person or by their attorneys appointed in writing.

REGISTERED OWNER CEDE & CO.
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT DOLLARS
City of Grand Junction Rimrock Market Place General Improvement District (the "GID"), for value received, hereby promises to pay, out of funds available for that purpose as hereinafter set forth, to the registered owner specified above or registered assigns the principal amount specified above on the maturity date specified above (unless this Bond shall have been called for prior redemption, in which case on such redemption date) and to pay solely from such available funds interest hereon at the interest rate per annum specified above, said interest being payable on June 1 and December 1 in each year, commencing June 1, 2003. This Bond shall bear interest from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid, or if no interest has been paid, from the date of this Bond. Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America without deduction for exchange or collection charges. The principal of this Bond shall be payable to the person in whose name this Bond is registered (the "registered owner") on the registration records maintained by the registrar of the GID, presently Wells Fargo Bank West, National Association in Denver, Colorado (the "Registrar"), upon presentation and surrender of this Bond as it becomes due. The interest hereon shall be paid by check mailed by the paying agent of the GID, presently Wells Fargo Bank West, National Association in Denver, Colorado (the "Paying Agent"), on each interest payment date (or, if such interest payment date is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day), to the registered owner at his or her address as it last appears on the registration records kept for that purpose by the Registrar on the fifteenth day of the calendar month preceding the calendar month in which such interest payment date occurs or on a special record date established by the Registrar for the payment of defaulted interest. Alternative means of payment of interest may be used if mutually agreed to between the registered owner of this Bond and the Paying Agent. If, upon presentation and surrender to the Paying Agent at maturity or prior redemption, payment of this Bond is not made as herein provided, interest hereon shall continue at the same rate per annum until the principal hereof is paid in full. Interest on this Bond shall be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
This Bond is one of a series of bonds designated as the "Rimrock Marketplace Special Assessment Bonds, Series 2002" (the "Bonds") issued by the GID in the aggregate principal amount of $3,980,000 for the purpose of providing funds to pay the cost and expenses of acquiring and improving a streets, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and water mains (the "Project") within the Rimrock Marketplace Special Improvement District (the "District"). The Bonds have been authorized and issued pursuant to an ordinance (the "Ordinance") duly adopted by the GID Board and the Parts 5 and 6 of Article 25 of Title 31 and Part 2 of Article 57 of Title 11, Colorado Revised Statutes (the "Act"). Pursuant to Section 11-57-210, Colorado Revised Statutes, this recital shall be conclusive evidence of the validity and regularity of the issuance of the Bonds after their delivery for value.
[The Bonds are subject to redemption at the caption of the GID from any legally available funds on any interest payment date in whole, or in part from any maturities, in any order of maturity and by lot within a maturity in such a manner as the GID may determine, (giving proportionate weight to Bonds in denominations larger than $5,000), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of each Bond, or portion thereof, so redeemed, and accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, plus a premium computed in accordance with the following schedule:
Redemption Period
| Redemption Premium |
_____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ | _____% _____% _____% _____% |
The Bonds maturing December 1, ____ are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption as provided in the Ordinance at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date. The Bonds to be so redeemed shall be selected by lot in such manner as the Registrar shall determine (giving proportionate weight to Bonds in denominations larger than $5,000).]
Redemption shall be made upon not less than fifteen days’ prior notice by mailing to the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration records in the manner and upon the conditions provided in the Ordinance.
**Upon any partial prior redemption of this Bond, Cede & Co., in its discretion, may request the Registrar to authenticate a new Bond or shall make an appropriate notation on this Bond indicating the date and amount of prepayment, except in the case of final maturity, in which case this Bond must be presented to the Paying Agent prior to payment.**
Pursuant to the Ordinance, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall be made from and as security for such payment there is pledged, a special fund designated as the "Rimrock Marketplace Bond Fund" (the "Bond Fund") containing the receipts upon the collection thereof from the special assessments (the "Assessments") levied against and secured by a lien upon the property in the District specially benefited by the Project, which fund shall be used for the full and prompt payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon, and shall be used for no other purpose whatsoever except as permitted by the Ordinance. Whenever there is a deficiency in the Bond Fund, the deficiency must be paid out of the special fund designated as the "Rimrock Marketplace Bond Reserve Fund" in the priority specified in the Ordinance (the Assessments, the Bond Fund, the Bond Reserve Fund, such other special funds collectively, the "Trust Estate").
Pursuant to the Ordinance, the Trust Estate has been irrevocably pledged to and shall be used for the punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, and for payment of the continuing costs of the Bonds and the Trust Estate shall not be used for any other purpose while any of the Bonds remain outstanding. The pledge of the Assessments shall constitute a first and exclusive lien on the Assessments for the foregoing purposes in accordance with the terms of the Ordinance; provided that pursuant to the Act such lien is coequal with the latest lien on the real property in the District to secure the payment of general (ad valorem) taxes.
The Treasurer shall collect, receive and enforce the payment of all Assessments made and levied for the Project, all interest thereon, and all penalties accrued, as provided by law and in the same manner and at the same time or times as prescribed by the Ordinance, the Financing Agreement and the other proceedings of the GID relating thereto.
*The Bonds are issuable as fully registered Bonds in denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Upon surrender of any Bond at the principal office of the Registrar with a written instrument satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the registered owner or his or her duly authorized attorney, and receipt by the Registrar of the fees and charges provided in the Ordinance, such Bond may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Bonds of other authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Ordinance.*
*This Bond is fully transferable by the registered owner hereof in person or by his or her duly authorized attorney on the registration records kept by the Registrar upon surrender of this Bond together with a duly executed written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar, and upon the payment of the fees and charges provided in the Ordinance. Upon such transfer a new fully registered Bond or Bonds of authorized denomination or denominations of the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange for this Bond, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Ordinance.*
*The Registrar will not be required to transfer or exchange (i) any Bond during the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days before the date of the mailing by the Registrar of a notice of redemption of Bonds and ending at the close of business on the date such notice is mailed, or (ii) any Bond after the mailing of notice calling such Bond or any portion thereof for redemption except the unredeemed portion of any Bond redeemed in part.*
**The Bonds shall not be transferable or exchangeable, except as set forth in the Ordinance.**
The GID, the Registrar and the Paying Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of making payment (except to the extent otherwise provided hereinabove and in the Ordinance with respect to Record Dates and Special Record Dates for the payment of interest) and for all other purposes, and neither the GID, the Registrar nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
To the extent and in the respects permitted by the Ordinance, the provisions of the Ordinance may be modified or amended by action of the GID taken in the manner and subject to the conditions and exceptions prescribed in the Ordinance.
It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things essential to the validity of this Bond exist, have happened and have been done in due time, form and manner as required by law; that the total issue of the Bonds does not exceed the amount authorized by law nor the total unpaid special assessments levied to cover the cost of the Project; that this Bond is issued under the authority of the Act and that this Bond is incontestable for any cause whatsoever.
It is hereby further certified, recited and declared that the proceedings with reference to the Project, the levying of the assessments to pay the cost and expense of the Project and the issuance of the Bonds have been regularly had and taken in compliance with law, and that all prerequisites to the fixing of the assessment lien against the property benefited by the Project and of the liability of the owner or owners of such property therefor have been performed.
This Bond shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the Registrar shall have manually signed the certificate of authentication hereon.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Rimrock Marketplace has caused this Bond to be signed and executed in the name of and on behalf of the GID with the manual or facsimile signature of the President of the GID, to be countersigned with the manual or facsimile signature of the Treasurer, and to be countersigned, subscribed, executed and attested with the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary, has caused the seal of the GID or a facsimile thereof to be affixed hereon, and has caused this Bond to be dated as of the date specified above.
