This Bond is issued by virtue of and in full conformity with the Constitution of the State of Colorado, and pursuant to the County and Municipality Development Revenue Bond Act, Title 29, Article 3, Part 1, Colorado Revised Statutes 1973, as amended, ("Act") and all other laws of the State of Colorado thereunto enabling, for the purpose of financing the cost of developing as a site, land within the City, and constructing and equipping a building or buildings thereon, other improvements, and all necessary and appurtenant real and personal properties (such property being subject to depreciation under Section 167 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended) whether or not now in existence, constituting a commercial office facility (the "Project"). This Bond is further issued in accordance with the City's Charter and pursuant to an Ordinance of the City Council of the City, finally adopted and approved on April 1, 1981, and amended on July 2, 1986 (as amended, the "Ordinance"), and is a special, limited obligation of the City, payable solely from and secured by a pledge of payments to be made to the City pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of June 10, 1981, and a First Amendment to Loan Agreement, dated as of April 1, 1986 (together, the "Loan Agreement"), and entered into between Los Luneros, a general partnership duly formed under the laws of the State of Colorado (the "Borrower"), and the City. The proceeds of the Bond will be loaned by the City to the Borrower for payment of the Costs of the Project, and, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Borrower has covenanted to repay the funds, together with interest thereon, in installments which will be sufficient to pay, when due, the principal of and interest on this Bond. This Bond is secured by a pledge and assignment of revenues and receipts derived by the City pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the Note of the Borrower identified therein, as more fully described in the Ordinance. The payment of principal and interest is further secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement, dated as of December 31, 1981, as amended by a First Supplemental Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement, dated as of April 1, 1986, and each entered into by and between the Borrower and the Public Trustee of the County of Mesa, State of Colorado, for the benefit of the Bank (together, the "Deed of Trust"). Reference is made to the Ordinance for a description of the provisions, among others, with respect to the nature and extent of the security, the rights, among others, with respect to the nature and extent of the security, the rights, duties and obligations of the City, the rights of the Bondholder, and the terms on which the Bond is or may be issued and to all the provisions to which the Bondholder assents, by the acceptance of this Bond.

 

Upon ten (10) days written notice given to the Bondholder by the Borrower, on behalf of the City, the principal amount of this Bond is subject to optional prepayment on any principal and interest payment date, in whole or in part at a prepayment price of par plus accrued interest to the prepayment date, plus additional interest on prepayments in any calendar year totalling more than 20% of the total principal amount of the Bond plus advances, all as is more particularly described in the Ordinance. The Bond also is subject to mandatory prepayment, in whole, in accordance with Section 4 of the Ordinance and Article VII of the Loan Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, payments sufficient for the prompt payment when due of the principal of and interest on this Bond are to be paid by the Borrower to the Bank, for the account of the City and deposited in a special account created by the City and designated as the "Industrial Development Revenue Bond Fund (Los Luneros Project)", and all revenues and receipts payable under the Loan Agreement have been duly pledged and assigned to the Bank to secure payment of such principal and interest.

 

The City acknowledges that it is intended that interest on this Bond will not be includable in the gross income of the Bondholder (other than by reason that such Bondholder should be or become a substantial user of the Project or Related Person as defined in Section 103(b)(9) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, and the stated interest rate of this Bond reflects such exemption. Accordingly, in the event of a Determination of Taxability (as defined in the Loan Agreement), on the first day of the month following such Determination of Taxability (the "Adjustment Date") the interest rate payable on this Bond prior to the maturity date hereof, shall be increased to 2% per annum (365 day-year basis) above the United Bank of Denver, N.A.'s, or its successor's prime rate, the change in such interest rate to be effective on the first day and after the Adjustment Date, each interest installment payable on this Bond shall be increased by the amount of such additional interest. Additional amounts of interest on this Bond will become due upon a Determination of Taxability, pursuant to subsections 8.3(b) and (c) of the Loan Agreement. In lieu of such increased interest rate upon a Determination of Taxability, the Bondholder, at its option, may demand a mandatory prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of this Bond.

 

All of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions and stipulations contained in the Loan Agreement, Assignment, and Deed of Trust are hereby made a part of this Bond to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein.

 

In certain events, on the conditions, in the manner and with the effect set forth in the Ordinance, the principal of this Bond may become or may be declared due and payable before the stated maturity thereof, together with interest accrued thereon.

 

This Bond and the interest hereon do not constitute a debt or general obligation of the City, within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or within the meaning of the City Charter, and do not constitute or give rise to a pecuniary liability of the City or a charge against its general credit or taxing powers. This Bond and the interest thereon are special obligations payable solely from the revenues derived from the Project pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the payments under which will be sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on, and certain fees and expenses in connection with this Bond as the same become due and payable. The Bondholder shall never have the right to enforce payment hereof against any property of the City except its interest in the Loan Agreement, and this Bond does not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the City, and the agreement of the City to perform or cause the performance of the covenants and other provisions herein referred to shall be subject at all times to the availability of revenues of the Project or other funds furnished to the City in accordance with the Loan Agreement, sufficient to pay all costs of such performances or the enforcement thereof.

 

With the consent of the City, the Borrower and the Bondholder, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement, Assignment, or the Deed of Trust or of any instrument supplemental thereto, may be modified or altered only to the extent and in the circumstances permitted by the Ordinance.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City of Grand Junction, by its City Council has caused this Bond to be signed in its behalf by the manual signature of the President of the City Council and countersigned and attested by the manual signature of the City Clerk, and sealed with an impression of the corporate seal of the City, all as of the 1st day of April, 1986.
