immobilized by such depository, and such depository as part of
the computerized national securities clearance and settlement
system registers transfers of ownership interests in the bonds by

time supplemented, (1) as taxable or tax-exempt bonds, (2) as

which the Bond is authenticated. For purposes of delivering the
original Bonds to the Purchaser, the Bond Registrar shall insert
as the date of registration the date of original issue, which
date is specified in Section 3.02 for the Series 1996D Bonds and

transferred as herein provided.
All Bonds surrendered upon any exchange or transfer
provided for in this Resolution shall be promptly cancelled by

exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Bond
Registrar, duly executed by the holder thereof or his, her or its
attorney duly authorized in writing.
The Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable
in connection with the transfer or exchange of any Bond and any
legal or unusual costs regarding transfers and lost Bonds.
Transfers shall also be subject to reasonahle
regulations of the City contained in any agreement with, or
notice to, the Bond Registrar, including regulations which permit
the Bond Registrar to close its transfer books between record
dates and payment dates.

(A) For the purposes of all actions, consents and other
matters affecting Holders of Bonds issued under this Resolution,
as from time to time supplemented, other than payments,
redemptions, and purchases, the City may (but shall not be
obligated to) treat as the Holder of a Bond the beneficial owner
of the Bond instead of the person in whose name the Bond is
registered. For that purpose, the City may ascertain the
identity of the beneficial owner of the Bond by such means as the
Bond Registrar in its sole discretion deems appropriate,
including but not limited to a certificate from the person in
whose name the Bond is registered identifying such beneficial
owner.
(B) The City and Bond Registrar may treat the person in
whose name any Bond is registered as the owner of such Bond £or

any, and interest (subject to the payment provisions in Section
2.08) on, such Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever whether

(C) Any consent, request, direction, approval, objection or
other instrument required by this Resolution, as supplemented, to
be signed and executed by the Holders may be in any number of
concurrent writings of similar tenor and must be signed or
executed by such Holders in person or by agent appointed in
writing. Proof of the execution of any such consent, request,

Section 5.02. Tax Cavenants
The following special covenants of the City apply only
to Tax-Exempt Bonds.
(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
moneys in the Sports Dome Excess Earnings Account and the
Accounts and Funds, in that order, shall be used to pay any
rebate of excess investment earnings on gross proceeds of Tax-
Exempt Bonds (and, if applicable, any actual or imputed earnings
on Excess Earnings amounts) required to be paid to the United
States in order to maintain the exclusion from gross income under
Section 103 of the Code of the interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds.
(B) No portion of the proceeds of any series of Tax-
Exempt Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire
higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used
directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments,
except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds
are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued, (2)
as part of a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund not
in excess of ten percent (10°s) of the proceeds of the Bonds (or
in a higher amount which the City establishes is necessary to the
satisfaCtion of the SeCretary of the Treasury of the United
States), and (3) in addition to Che above in an amount not
greater than the lesser of five percent (5a) of the proceeds of
the Bonds or $100,000. To this end, any proceeds of Tax-Exempt
Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the Construction
AcCOUnt, Sports Dome Operations Account, Reserve Account or Bond
Account (or any other City account which will be used to pay
principal or interest to become due on the Tax-Exempt Bonds
payable therefrom) in excess of amounts which under
then-applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested
without regard to yield shall not be invested at a yield in
excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by said
arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into
account any applicable "temporary periods", minor portion or
reserve made available under the federal arbitrage regulations.
Money in the Funds and Accounts shall not be invested in
obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by
327283.Red
va to vs; 8/28/96 4 6
a� - �� ��-
the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and
to the extent that such investment would cause a series of Tax-
Exempt Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of
Section 149(b) o£ the Code. The proceeds of Tax-Sxempt Bonds
sha11 not be invested in other tax-exempt obligations the
interest on which is subject to alternative minimum ta�c under the
Code, unless the City has received an opinion of bond counsel to
the efPect that such investment will not jeopardize the ta�c-
exempt status of the Tax-Exempt Bonds.
Section 5.03. Negative Covenant as to Use of
Improvements. The City hereby covenants not to use the proceeds
of Tax-Exempt Bonds or to use the Improvements, or to cause or
permit them or any of them to be used, or to enter into any
deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the Improvements,
in such a manner as to cause the Tax-Exempt Bonds to be ��priv.ate
activity bonds" witnin the meaning of Sections 103 and 141
through 150 of the Code, unless such Tax-Exempt Bonds are issued,
and the proceeds thereof applied, in full compliance with the
provisions of the Code applicable to "private activity bonds".
Section 5.04. Tax-Exempt Status of the Bonds: Rebate:
Elections. The City shall comply with requirements necessary
under the Code to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross
income under Section 103 of the Code of the interest on all
series of Tax-Exempt Bonds, including without limitation
requirements relating to temporary periods for investments,
limitations on amounts invested at a yield greater than the yield
on the Tax-Ezcempt Bonds, and the rebate of excess investment
earnings to the United States.
The City expects that the two-year expenditure
exception to the rebate requirements may apply to the
construction proceeds of the Series 1996D Bonds.
If any elections are available now or hereafter with
respect to arbitrage or rebate matters relating to the Ta�c-Exempt
Bonds, the Mayor, Clerk, Treasurer and Director, Department of
Finance and Management Services, or any of them, are hereby
authorized and directed to make such elections as they deem
necessary, appropriate or desirable in connection with the Tax-
Exempt Bonds, and all such elections shall be, and shall be
deemed and treated as, elections of the City.
Section 5.05. Covenant with Holders. fiach and all of
the teims and provisions of this Resolution as from time to time
supplemented shall be and constitute a covenant on the part of
the City to and with each and every Holder from time to time of
the Bonds issued hereunder, except as may otherwise be provided

(4) If the Additional Bonds to be issued will be
Temporary Bonds, the calculation of maximum annual principal
and interest shall assume either:
(a) that principal and interest will be paid at the
times and at the interest rate specified in the
related Commitment;
or, at the election of the City,
(b) that principal and interest will be paid on a
level debt service basis over a period of ten (10)
years from the maturity or mandatory purchase date
for the series of Temporary Bonds, and that the
series of Temporary Bonds will bear interest from
and after that date at the then-prevailing
interest rates for recreational facilities revenue
bonds of comparable credit quality, taking into
account whether such Bonds are Taxable Bonds or
Tax-Exempt Bonds;
provided, that other or different assumptions may be used if
necessary to obtain an investment grade credit rating for
the Temporary Bonds or to maintain the credit rating(s? then
in effect for the Bonds then outstanding.
(C) Sn addition to the requirements of subsection (B)
above, the following conditions shall be met prior to the
issuance of each series of Additional Bonds:
(1) The payments required to be made (at the time of
the issuance of such Additional Bonds) into the various
Funds and Accounts provided for in this Resolution shall
have been made.
(2) The proceeds of such Additional Bonds shall be

Parks and Recreation System, and capitalizing interest or
establishing reserves and paying costs of such financing, or
(2) refunding (or advance refunding) Bonds or any other
bonds or obligations issued to finance the Parks and
Recreation System, and capitalizing interest or making a

(D) The conversion of Variable Rate Bonds or
Adjustable Rate Bonds to Fixed Rate Bonds shall not be treated as
the issuance of Additional Sonds subject to the requirements of
subsection (B) above unless the interest rate to be borne by such

��-����
Bonds from and after the date of conversion wi11 exceed the rate
or ma�cimum rate taken into account for the purposes of subsection
(B), clauses (1) or (2).
Section 6.02. Refunding Bonds.
(A) The City also resexves the right and privilege of
issuing Additional Bonds if and to the extent needed to refund
maturing Bonds payable from Revenues of the Parks and Recreation
System in case the moneys in the Bond Account are insufficient to
pay the same at maturity, which refunding Additional Bonds may be
on a parity with other Bonds as to interest payments, but shall
mature subsequent to all the Bonds which are payable from the
Revenues and which are outstanding upon issuance of the refunding
Additional Bonds. This Section shall not apply to Additional
Bonds issued to refund Temporary Bonds.
(B) The City further reserves the right and privilege
of issuing Additional Bonds payable from the Revenues of the
Parks and Recreation System to refund or advance refund all or
any portion of the Bonds (or any series thereof) then outstanding
if the aggregate principal and interest to become due in any
Fiscal Year after the issuance of such refunding or advance
refunding Additional Bonds (after deducting any principal or
interest to be paid from a refunding escrow or defeasance escrow)
will not be more than the principal and interest which would have
been due in any future Fiscal Year if such refunding or advance
refunding Additional Bonds had not been issued.
Section 6.03. Partial Parity; Other Sources.
(A) Partial Paritv. Bonds or series of Bonds may have a
parity of lien against Revenues as to only a portion of the
principal or interest thereon or during a specified period and be
considered "parity bonds" as to such portion or during such
period.
(B) Other Sources. Bonds or series of Bonds may have a
parity of lien against Revenues and be considered "parity bonds"
even if there are sources of payment (such as (1) a Credit
Facility, (2) a pledge of the full faith and credit of the City,
or (3) a crossover advance refunding escrow) which are not
available to pay all Bonds or series of Bonds. Such sources of
payment shall be applied to the Bonds or series of Bonds to which
they relate, and shall be applied as provided therefor whether
