Redemption shall be made upon not more than 60 days' and not less than 30 days' mailed notice to each registered owner of Bonds to be redeemed as shown on the registration records kept by the Registrar, in the manner and upon the conditions provided in the Bond Ordinance.

The 1999 Bonds are equitably and ratably secured by a subordinate pledge of and lien on the Pledged Revenues.
Payment of the principal of and interest on this bond shall be made from, and as security for such payment there are irrevocably pledged, pursuant to the Bond Ordinance, moneys deposited and to be deposited in a special account of the City (the "Bond Account") into which account the City has covenanted under the Bond Ordinance to pay from the Pledged Revenues a sum sufficient, together with other moneys available in the Bond Account therefor, to pay when due the principal of and interest on the 1999 Bonds and any Additional Bonds (as defined in the Bond Ordinance).

The Registrar's certificate of authentication shall be deemed to have been duly executed by the Registrar if manually signed by an authorized officer or employee of the Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer or employee sign the certificate of authentication on all of the 1999 Bonds issued hereunder. By authenticating any of the 1999 Bonds initially delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, the Registrar shall be deemed to have assented to the provisions of this Ordinance.
Section 12. Registration and Transfer.
A Absent the written consent of the City, the 1999 Bonds may not be transferred if such transfer would cause the issuance of the 1999 Bonds to become subject to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(5), as such rule is amended from time to time. Subject to such restriction, records for the registration and transfer of the 1999 Bonds shall be kept by the Registrar, which is hereby appointed by the City as registrar (i.e., transfer agent) for the 1999 Bonds. Upon the surrender for transfer of any 1999 Bond at the Registrar, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing, the Registrar shall enter such transfer on the registration records and shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new 1999 Bond or Bonds of the same series, of a like aggregate principal amount and of the same maturity, bearing a number or numbers not previously assigned. The Registrar may impose reasonable charges in connection with such transfers of 1999 Bonds, which charges (as well as any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer) shall be paid by the registered owner requesting such transfer.
B The Registrar shall not be required to transfer (1) any 1999 Bond during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of notice of prior redemption as herein provided and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (2) any 1999 Bond after the mailing of notice calling such 1999 Bond or any portion thereof for prior redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of the 1999 Bonds being redeemed in part.
C The person in whose name any 1999 Bond shall be registered on the registration records kept by the Registrar shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of making payment thereof and for all other purposes; except as may be otherwise provided in Section 6 hereof with respect to payment of interest; and, subject to such exception, payment of or on account of either principal or interest on any 1999 Bond shall be made only to or upon the written order of the registered owner thereof or his legal representative, but such registration may be changed upon transfer of such 1999 Bond in the manner and subject to the conditions and limitations provided herein. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to discharge the liability upon such 1999 Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
D If any 1999 Bond shall be lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, the Registrar shall, upon receipt of such evidence, information or indemnity relating thereto as it and the City may reasonably require, authenticate and deliver a replacement 1999 Bond or Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and of the same maturity, bearing a number or numbers not previously assigned. If such lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated 1999 Bond shall have matured or is about to become due and payable, the Registrar may direct the Paying Agent to pay such 1999 Bond in lieu of replacement.
E The officers of the City are authorized to deliver to the Registrar fully executed but unauthenticated 1999 Bonds in such quantities as may be convenient to be held in custody by the Registrar pending use as herein provided.
F Whenever any 1999 Bond shall be surrendered to the Paying Agent upon payment thereof, or to the Registrar for transfer or replacement as provided herein, such 1999 Bond shall be promptly canceled by the Paying Agent or Registrar, and counterparts of a certificate of such cancellation shall be furnished by the Paying Agent or Registrar to the City.
Section 13. Delivery of 1999 Bonds and Disposition of Proceeds. When the 1999 Bonds have been duly executed by appropriate City officers and authenticated by the Registrar, the City shall cause the 1999 Bonds to be delivered to the Purchaser on receipt of the agreed purchase price. The 1999 Bonds shall be delivered in such denominations as the Purchaser shall direct (but subject to the provisions of Section 12 hereof); and the Registrar shall initially register the 1999 Bonds in such name or names as the Purchaser shall direct.
The proceeds of the 1999 Bonds shall be deposited promptly by the City and shall be accounted for in the following manner and are hereby pledged therefor, but the Purchaser of the 1999 Bonds or any subsequent Owner in no manner shall be responsible for the application or disposal by the City or any of its officers of any of the funds derived from the sale:
(i) All proceeds of the 1999 Bonds shall be credited to the Tax Increment Projects Fund, hereby created, to be used for the Project and for the costs of issuance of the 1999 Bonds. After payment of all costs of the Project and costs of issuance of the 1999 Bonds, or after adequate provision therefor is made, any unexpended balance of the proceeds of the 1999 Bonds shall be deposited in the Bond Account and applied to the payment of the principal of and interest on the 1999 Bonds.
Section 14. Use of Pledged Revenues. Provided all payments required by paragraphs A, B, E and F of Section 15 of the 1996 Ordinance have been made as provided therein, so long as any Bonds shall be Outstanding, either as to principal or interest, all Pledged Revenues remaining in the Tax Increment Fund after such payments shall be applied as described below:
A Bond Account. A special account is hereby created and designated as the "City of Grand Junction, Colorado, Downtown Development Authority 1999 Subordinate Tax Increment Revenue Bond Account" (the "Bond Account"). The Bond Account shall be held, administered and distributed by the City in accordance with the terms of this Ordinance. The Pledged Revenues remaining in the Tax Increment Fund after all payments required by paragraphs A, B, E and F of Section 15 of the 1996 Ordinance have been made as provided therein shall be credited immediately to the Bond Account until the total amount accumulated therein is equal to the sum of the following:
(1) Interest payments. The aggregate amount of the next maturing installment of interest on the Bonds, plus
(2) Principal payments. The aggregate amount of the next maturing installment of principal of the Bonds.
Once there has been accumulated in the Bond Account the entire amount necessary for the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds in the current Fiscal Year, no moneys need be deposited in the Bond Account until the following Fiscal Year. The moneys in the Bond Account shall be used only to pay the principal of, prior redemption premium if any, and interest on the Bonds as the same becomes due.
B Termination Upon Deposits to Maturity or Redemption Date. No payment need be made into the Bond Account if the amount in the Bond Account totals a sum at least equal to the entire amount of the Outstanding Bonds, both as to principal and interest to their respective maturities, or to any redemption date on which the City shall have exercised its option to redeem the Bonds then Outstanding and thereafter maturing, including any prior redemption premiums then due, and both accrued and not accrued, in which case moneys in the Bond Account in an amount at least equal to such principal and interest requirements shall be used solely to pay such as the same accrue, and any moneys in excess thereof in the Bond Account may be withdrawn and used for any lawful purpose.
C Defraying Delinquencies in Bond Account. If on any required payment date the City shall for any reason not have in the Bond Account the full amount above stipulated, then the City shall deposit into the Bond Account from the first Pledged Revenues thereafter received and not required to be applied otherwise by the 1996 Ordinance or this Section (but excluding any payments required for any obligations subordinate to the Bonds) an amount equal to the difference between the amount then on deposit in the Bond Account and the amount needed to make the payments due on said payment date.
In the event that said first moneys credited to the Tax Increment Fund have been insufficient during a given Fiscal Year to meet the principal and interest requirements on the Bonds to be paid during said Fiscal Year, then during the month of December of said Fiscal Year, the City may at its option and sole discretion, transfer to the Bond Account from surplus legally available funds a sum equal to the amount needed to meet said debt service requirements due and owing on the Bonds. The City intends to include the question of whether to so replenish the Bond Account on its agenda in December of any Fiscal Year for which the balance of the Bond Account is inadequate to meet said debt service requirements. If and to the extent the City decides to replenish the Bond Account from surplus legally available funds, all such City moneys deposited into the Bond Account shall be deemed a loan to the Tax Increment Fund, to be paid back on an annually subordinate basis pursuant to Section 14E as a "subordinate obligation."
The moneys in the Bond Account shall be used solely for the purpose of paying the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and the interest on the Bonds; provided, that any moneys in the Bond Account in excess of accrued and unaccrued principal and interest requirements to the respective maturities of the Outstanding Bonds, and not needed for rebate to the United States government, may be used as provided in paragraphs E and F of this Section.
D Rebate Account. Next, there shall be deposited in a special account hereby created and to be known as the "City of Grand Junction, Colorado, Downtown Development Authority 1999 Subordinate Tax Increment Revenue Bonds Rebate Account" (the "Rebate Account") amounts required by Section 148(f) of the Tax Code to be held until such time as any required rebate payment is made. Amounts in the Rebate Account shall be used for the purpose of making the payments to the United States required by Section 148(f) of the Tax Code. Any amounts in excess of those required to be on deposit therein by Section 148(f) of the Tax Code shall be withdrawn therefrom and deposited into the Bond Account. Funds in the Rebate Account shall not be subject to the lien created by this Ordinance to the extent such amounts are required to be paid to the United States Treasury. A similar rebate account may be created for any series of Additional Bonds and payments into such account shall have the same priority as payments into the Rebate Account created hereunder.
E Payment for Subordinate Obligations. After the payments required by paragraphs A, C and D of this Section, the Pledged Revenues shall be used by the City for the payment of interest on and principal of any obligations secured by Pledged Revenues subordinate to the lien of the 1999 Bonds (including the repayment of any City loan to replenish the Bond Account), hereafter authorized to be issued, including reasonable reserves therefor.
F Use of Remaining Revenues. After making the payments required to be made by this Section, any remaining Pledged Revenues may be used for any lawful purpose. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, the City is hereby authorized to transfer any and all remaining Pledged Revenues which constitute investment income on moneys in the Tax Increment Fund to the Authority to be used for administrative expenses.
Section 15. General Administration of Accounts. The accounts designated in Sections 13 and 14 hereof and the Tax Increment Fund shall be administered as follows subject to the limitations stated in Section 18K hereof:
A Budget and Appropriation of Accounts. The sums provided to make the payments specified in Section 14 hereof are hereby appropriated for said purposes, and said amounts for each year shall be included in the annual budget and the appropriation ordinance or measures to be adopted or passed by the City Council in each year respectively while any of the 1999 Bonds, either as to principal or interest, are Outstanding and unpaid.
B Places and Times of Deposits. Each of the special accounts created in Section 14 hereof and the Tax Increment Fund shall be maintained as a book account kept separate and apart from all other accounts or funds of the City as trust accounts solely for the purposes herein designated therefor. For purposes of investment of moneys, nothing herein prevents the commingling of moneys accounted for in any two or more such book accounts pertaining to the Pledged Revenues or to such accounts and any other funds of the City to be established under this Ordinance. Moneys in any such book account shall be continuously secured to the fullest extent required by the laws of the State for the securing of public accounts. Each periodic payment shall be credited to the proper book account not later than the date therefor herein designated, except that when any such date shall be a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday, then such payment shall be made on or before the next preceding business day.
C Investment of Accounts. Any moneys in any account established by Section 14 of this Ordinance and the Tax Increment Fund may be invested or reinvested in any Permitted Investment. Securities or obligations purchased as such an investment shall either be subject to redemption at any time at face value by the holder thereof at the option of such holder, or shall mature at such time or times as shall most nearly coincide with the expected need for moneys from the account in question. Securities or obligations so purchased as an investment of moneys in any such account shall be deemed at all times to be a part of the applicable account. The City shall present for redemption or sale on the prevailing market any securities or obligations so purchased as an investment of moneys in a given account whenever it shall be necessary to do so in order to provide moneys to meet any required payment or transfer from such account. The City shall have no obligation to make any investment or reinvestment hereunder, unless any moneys on hand and accounted for in any one account exceed $5,000 and at least $5,000 therein will not be needed for a period of not less than 60 days. In such event the City shall invest or reinvest not less than substantially all of the amount which will not be needed during such 60-day period, except for any moneys on deposit in an interest bearing account in a Commercial Bank, without regard to whether such moneys are evidenced by a certificate of deposit or otherwise, pursuant to this Section 15C and Section 15E hereof; but the City is not required to invest, or so to invest in such a manner, any moneys accounted for hereunder if any such investment would contravene the covenant concerning arbitrage in Section 18K hereof.
D No Liability for Losses Incurred in Performing Terms of Ordinance. Neither the City nor any officer of the City shall be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any investment or reinvestment made in accordance with this Ordinance.
E Character of Funds. The moneys in any fund or account herein authorized shall consist of lawful money of the United States or investments permitted by Section 15C hereof or both such money and such investments. Moneys deposited in a demand or time deposit account in or evidenced by a certificate of deposit of a Commercial Bank pursuant to Section 15C hereof, appropriately secured according to the laws of the State, shall be deemed lawful money of the United States.
Section 16. Additional Bonds.
A Limitations Upon Issuance of Additional Bonds. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed in such a manner as to prevent the issuance by the City of Additional Bonds payable from and constituting a lien upon the Pledged Revenues on a parity with the lien of the 1999 Bonds; but before any such Additional Bonds are authorized or actually issued (excluding any parity refunding securities refunding the Bonds or a part thereof, as provided in Section 17 hereof), the following provisions B through F must all first be satisfied.
B Absence of Default. At the time of the adoption of the supplemental ordinance or other instrument authorizing the issuance of the Additional Bonds, the City shall not be in default in making any payments required by Section 14 hereof.
C Historic Revenues Test. The Tax Increments constituting Pledged Revenues, as certified by the Council, received in the last complete Fiscal Year immediately preceding the date of the issuance of such Additional Bonds, shall have been sufficient to pay an amount at least equal to 100% of the sum derived by adding the following: (i) the Average Annual Debt Service for the Outstanding Bonds; (ii) the Average Annual Debt Service for the Additional Bonds proposed to be issued and (iii) the Average Annual Debt Service for the 1996 Bonds as calculated pursuant to the 1996 Ordinance.
D Adjustment of Historic Revenues. In the computation of the historic revenues tests in Section 16 hereof, the amount of the Tax Increments constituting Pledged Revenues for such Fiscal Year may be increased by the amount of gain which will result from any increase in the amount of the assessed valuation of taxable property within the Plan of Development Area, the mill levy or percentage of sales tax which will be applied in the City during that Fiscal Year as provided in final ordinances, certifications, or resolutions of the City or county or other taxing authority, approved if required by the electors, providing for such increase.
E Adequate Reserves. The City may, at its option, provide for the creation and maintenance of a reserve fund in connection with the issuance of any Additional Bonds.
F Reduction of Annual Requirements. The respective annual debt service requirements set forth in Section 16 hereof (including as such a requirement, the amount of any prior redemption premiums due on any redemption date as of which the City shall have exercised or shall have obligated itself to exercise its prior redemption option by a call of bonds or securities for redemption) shall be reduced to the extent such debt service requirements are scheduled to be paid in each of the respective Fiscal Years with moneys held in trust or in escrow for that purpose by any Trust Bank located within or without the State, including the known minimum yield from any investment of such moneys in Governmental Obligations and bank deposits, including any certificate of deposit.
G Certification of Revenues. In the case of the computation of the revenue tests provided in Section 16C and when adjusted in the manner provided in Section 16D, the specified and required written certification by the Council that such annual revenues are sufficient to pay such amounts as provided in Section 16C hereof shall be conclusively presumed to be accurate in determining the right of the City to authorize, issue, sell and deliver Additional Bonds on a parity with the then Outstanding Bonds.
H Subordinate Securities Permitted. Nothing herein prevents the City from issuing additional bonds or other additional securities for any lawful purpose payable from the Pledged Revenues having a lien thereon subordinate, inferior and junior to the lien thereon of the Bonds.
I Superior Securities Prohibited. Nothing herein permits the City to issue bonds or other securities payable from the Pledged Revenues and having a lien thereon prior and superior to the lien thereon of the 1999 Bonds.
Section 17. Refunding Obligations.
A Generally. If at any time after the 1999 Bonds, or any part thereof, shall have been issued and remain Outstanding, the City shall find it desirable to refund any Outstanding obligations payable from the Pledged Revenues, said obligations, or any part thereof, may be refunded, subject to the provisions of paragraph B of this Section, if (1) the obligations to be refunded, at the time of their required surrender for payment, shall then mature or shall then be callable for prior redemption at the City's option upon proper call, or (2) the owners of the obligations to be refunded consent to such surrender and payment.
B Protection of Obligations Not Refunded. Any refunding obligations payable from the Pledged Revenues shall be issued with such details as the City Council may provide, so long as there is no impairment of any contractual obligation imposed upon the City by any proceedings authorizing the issuance of any unrefunded portion of obligations payable from the Pledged Revenues; but so long as any 1999 Bonds are Outstanding, refunding obligations payable from the Pledged Revenues may be issued on a parity with the unrefunded Bonds only if:
(1) Prior Consent. The City first receives the consent of the owner or owners of the unrefunded Bonds; or
(2) Requirements. The refunding obligations do not increase by more than $25,000, for any Fiscal Year prior to and including the last maturity date of any unrefunded Bonds, the aggregate principal and interest requirements evidenced by such refunding obligations and by any Outstanding Bonds not refunded, and the lien of any refunding parity obligations on the Pledged Revenues is not raised to a higher priority than the lien thereon of any obligations thereby refunded; or
(3) Earnings Tests. The refunding obligations are issued in compliance with Section 16 hereof.
Section 18. Protective Covenants. The City hereby additionally covenants and agrees with each and every owner of the 1999 Bonds that:
A Use of 1999 Bond Proceeds. The City will proceed with the Project without delay and with due diligence.
B Payment of 1999 Bonds. The City will promptly pay the principal of and interest on every 1999 Bond issued hereunder and secured hereby on the dates and in the manner specified herein and in said 1999 Bonds according to the true intent and meaning hereof. Such principal and interest is payable solely from the Pledged Revenues.
C Amendment of the Resolution; Continuance and Collection of Taxes. The Resolution is now in full force and effect and has not been repealed or amended.
Unless required by law, the City shall not make any further modification of the Resolution or the Plan which would reduce the Tax Increments deposited or to be deposited in the Tax Increment Fund or otherwise materially impair the pledged security for the Bonds unless the required consent is obtained, all as provided in Section 27 of this Ordinance.
The City shall maintain the Tax Increment Fund as a fund of the City separate and distinct from all other funds of the City and immediately upon receipt or collection of the Tax Increments shall deposit the Tax Increments (less 20% of the Tax Increments originating from sales tax revenues for a portion of the Plan of Development Area and 30% of such increments from another portion of the Plan of Development Area as provided in Grand Junction City Resolution No. 28-83) into said fund.
The City shall take all reasonable action necessary to collect delinquent payments of the ad valorem and sales taxes owing from the Plan of Development Area or to cause such delinquent payments to be collected.
The foregoing covenants are subject to compliance by the City with its Charter, any legislation of the United States or the State or any regulation or other action taken by the federal government or any State agency or any political subdivision of the State pursuant to such legislation, in the exercise of the police power thereof or the public welfare, which legislation, regulation or action applies to the City as a Colorado municipality and limits or otherwise inhibits the amount of such tax revenues due to the City. All of the Tax Increments (less 20% of the Tax Increments originating from sales tax revenues for a portion of the Plan of Development Area and 30% of such increments from another portion of the Plan of Development Area as provided in Grand Junction City Resolution No. 28-83) shall be subject to the payment of the debt service requirements of all Bonds payable from the Pledged Revenues and the Tax Increment Fund, including reserves therefor if any, as provided herein or in any instrument supplemental or amendatory hereto.
D Defense of Legality of Application and Use of Tax Increments. There is not pending or threatened any suit, action or proceeding against or affecting the City before or by any court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other governmental authority which affects the validity or legality of this Ordinance, the 1996 Ordinance, the Resolution, or the imposition and collection of the Tax Increments, any of the City's obligations under this Ordinance or the 1996 Ordinance or any of the transactions contemplated by this Ordinance, the 1996 Ordinance or the Resolution.
The City shall, to the extent permitted by law, defend the validity and legality of the collection of the Tax Increments and any taxes contributing thereto, this Ordinance and the Resolution, and all amendments thereto against all claims, suits and proceedings which would diminish or impair the Pledged Revenues or Tax Increment Fund as security for the Bonds.
Except as specified in the 1996 Ordinance and in this Ordinance, the City has not assigned or pledged the Pledged Revenues or Tax Increment Fund in any manner which would diminish the security for the payment of the Bonds.
E Further Assurances. At any and all times the City shall, so far as it may be authorized by law, pass, make, do, execute, acknowledge, deliver and file or record all and every such further instruments, acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, transfers, other documents and assurances as may be necessary or desirable for the better assuring, conveying, granting, assigning and confirming all and singular the rights, the Pledged Revenues and other funds and accounts hereby pledged or assigned, or intended so to be, or which the City may hereafter become bound to pledge or to assign, or as may be reasonable and required to carry out the purposes of this Ordinance. The City, acting by and through its officers, or otherwise, shall at all times, to the extent permitted by law, defend, preserve and protect the pledge of said Pledged Revenues and other funds and accounts pledged hereunder and all the rights of every owner of any of the Bonds against all claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
F Conditions Precedent. Upon the issuance of any of the 1999 Bonds, all conditions, acts and things required by the Constitution or laws of the United States, the Constitution or laws of the State, the Charter, this Ordinance or the 1996 Ordinance, to exist, to have happened, and to have been performed precedent to or in the issuance of the 1999 Bonds shall exist, have happened and have been performed, and the 1999 Bonds, together with all other obligations of the City, shall not contravene any debt or other limitation prescribed by the Constitution or laws of the United States, the Constitution or laws of the State or the Charter.
G Records. So long as any of the 1999 Bonds remain Outstanding, proper books of record and account will be kept by the City, separate and apart from all other records and accounts, showing complete and correct entries of all transactions relating to the Pledged Revenues and the accounts created or continued by this Ordinance.
H Audits. The City further agrees that it will cause an audit of such books and accounts to be made by a certified public accountant, who is not an employee of the City, showing the Pledged Revenues. The City agrees to allow the owner of any of the 1999 Bonds to review and copy such audits and reports, at the City's offices, at his request. Copies of such audits and reports will be furnished to the Purchaser.
I Performing Duties. The City will faithfully and punctually perform all duties with respect to the Pledged Revenues required by the Charter and the Constitution and laws of the State and the ordinances and resolutions of the City, including but not limited to the segregation of the Pledged Revenues and their application to the respective accounts herein designated.
J Other Liens. As of the date of issuance of the 1999 Bonds, there are no liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on or against any of the Pledged Revenues, except for the lien thereon of the 1996 Bonds and the 1996 Ordinance which liens are superior and prior to the lien thereon of the 1999 Bonds.
K Tax Covenant. The City covenants for the benefit of the Registered Owners of the 1999 Bonds that it will not take any action or omit to take any action with respect to the 1999 Bonds, the proceeds thereof, any other funds of the City or any facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the 1999 Bonds if such action or omission (i) would cause the interest on the 1999 Bonds to lose its exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Tax Code, (ii) would cause interest on the 1999 Bonds to lose its exclusion from alternative minimum taxable income as defined in Section 55(b)(2) of the Tax Code except to the extent such interest is required to be included in adjusted current earnings adjustment applicable to corporations under Section 56 of the Tax Code in calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income, or (iii) would cause interest on the 1999 Bonds to lose its exclusion from Colorado taxable income or Colorado alternative minimum taxable income under present Colorado law. The foregoing covenant shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the payment in full or defeasance of the 1999 Bonds until the date on which all obligations of the City in fulfilling the above covenant under the Tax Code and Colorado law have been met.
The City hereby designates the 1999 Bonds as a qualified tax-exempt obligation for purposes of Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Tax Code.
L City's Existence. The City will maintain its corporate identity and existence so long as any of the 1999 Bonds remain Outstanding, unless another political subdivision by operation of law succeeds to the duties, privileges, powers, liabilities, disabilities, immunities and rights of the City and is obligated by law to receive and distribute the Pledged Revenues in place of the City, without materially adversely affecting the privileges and rights of any owner of any Outstanding 1999 Bonds.
M Performance of Duties. The City will faithfully and punctually perform or cause to be performed all duties with respect to the Pledged Revenues required by the laws of the State and the ordinances and resolutions of the City, including without limitation the proper segregation of the Pledged Revenues as set forth in Section 14 hereof and their application to the respective accounts as herein provided.
N Prompt Collections. The City will cause the Pledged Revenues to be collected promptly and accounted for in the accounts as herein provided.
O Surety Bonds. Each official of the City having custody of the Pledged Revenues, or responsible for their handling, shall be fully bonded at all times, which bond shall be conditioned upon the proper application of such money.
P Prejudicial Contracts and Action Prohibited. No contract will be entered into, nor will any action be taken, by the City by which the rights and privileges of any Owner are impaired or diminished.
Section 19. Defeasance. When the 1999 Bonds have been fully paid both as to principal and interest, all obligations hereunder shall be discharged and the 1999 Bonds shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding for any purpose of this Ordinance, except as set forth in Section 18K hereof. Payment of any 1999 Bonds shall be deemed made when the City has placed in escrow with a Trust Bank an amount sufficient (including the known minimum yield from Governmental Obligations) to meet all requirements of principal, interest, and any prior redemption premiums on such 1999 Bonds as the same become due to maturity or a designated prior redemption date; and, if 1999 Bonds are to be redeemed prior to maturity pursuant to Section 7A hereof, when the City has given to the Registrar irrevocable written instructions to give notice of prior redemption in accordance with Section 7C hereof. The Governmental Obligations shall become due at or prior to the respective times on which the proceeds thereof shall be needed, in accordance with a schedule agreed upon between the City and such Trust Bank at the time of creation of the escrow and shall not be callable by the City prior to their scheduled maturities.
In the event that there is a defeasance of only part of the 1999 Bonds of any maturity, the Registrar shall, if requested by the City, institute a system to preserve the identity of the individual 1999 Bonds or portions thereof so defeased, regardless of changes in bond numbers attributable to transfers of 1999 Bonds; and the Registrar shall be entitled to reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses from the City in connection with such system.
Section 20. Delegated Powers. The officers of the City be, and they hereby are, authorized and directed to take all action necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Ordinance, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing; the printing of the 1999 Bonds and the execution of such certificates as may be required by the Purchaser, including, but not necessarily limited to, the absence and existence of factors affecting the exclusion of interest on the 1999 Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Section 21. Events of Default. Each of the following events is hereby declared an "event of default:"
A Nonpayment of Principal. If payment of the principal of any of the 1999 Bonds shall not be made when the same shall become due and payable at maturity or by proceedings for prior redemption; or
B Nonpayment of Interest. If payment of any installment of interest on the 1999 Bonds shall not be made when the same becomes due and payable; or
C Incapable to Perform. If the City shall for any reason be rendered incapable of fulfilling its obligations hereunder; or
D Default of any Provision. If the City shall default in the due and punctual performance of its covenants or conditions, agreements and provisions contained in the 1999 Bonds or in this Ordinance on its part to be performed, other than those delineated in paragraphs A and B of this Section, and if such default shall continue for 60 days after written notice specifying such default and requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the City by the owners of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 1999 Bonds then Outstanding.
Section 22. Remedies. Upon the happening and continuance of any event of default as provided in Section 21 hereof, the owner or owners of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, or a trustee therefor, may protect and enforce their rights hereunder by proper legal or equitable remedy deemed most effectual including mandamus, specific performance of any covenants, the appointment of a receiver (the consent of such appointment being hereby granted), injunctive relief, or requiring the City Council to act as if it were the trustee of an express trust, or any combination of such remedies. All proceedings shall be maintained for the equal benefit of all owners of Bonds. The failure of any owner to proceed does not relieve the City or any person of any liability for failure to perform any duty hereunder. The foregoing rights are in addition to any other right available to the owners of Bonds and the exercise of any right by any owner shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right.
Section 23. Duties Upon Default. Upon the happening of any of the events of default as provided in Section 21 of this Ordinance, the City, in addition, will do and perform all proper acts on behalf of and for the owners of the Bonds to protect and preserve the security created for the payment of the Bonds and to insure the payment of the principal of and interest on said Bonds promptly as the same become due. Proceeds derived from the Pledged Revenues, so long as any of the Bonds herein authorized, either as to principal or interest, are Outstanding and unpaid, shall be paid into the Bond Account, pursuant to the terms hereof and to the extent provided herein, and used for the purposes herein provided. In the event the City fails or refuses to proceed as in this Section provided, the owner or owners of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, after demand in writing, may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such owners as hereinabove provided.
Section 24. Replacement of Registrar or Paying Agent. If the City shall determine that it wishes to appoint a Registrar or Paying Agent other than the Finance Director of the City, the City may, upon notice mailed to each owner of any 1999 Bond at his address last shown on the registration records, appoint a successor Registrar or Paying Agent, or both.
