to the maturity of the Bonds upon the making of provision for
the payment of the Bonds on the terms and conditions set forth
in the Ordinance.
This Bond may be transferred or exchanged by the
Registered Holder hereof upon surrender of this Bond for
transfer or exchange at the principal corporate office of the
Registrar or a successor transfer agent, duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Registrar and executed by the Registered
Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
Thereupon the Issuer shall execute and the Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for this Bond, a new
fully registered Bond in the name of the transferee, or, if
exchanged, the Registered Holder, issued in a principal amount
equal to the principal amount of this Bond, of the same
maturity, and bearing interest at the same rate. The Issuer
or the Registrar may require that the cost, if any, of
preparing each new Bond upon such exchange or transfer and any
other expenses of the Issuer or the Registrar, including
counsel fees, and any tax or other governmental charge,-
incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the
Registered Holder requesting such exchange or transfer as a
condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making
such exchange or transfer. If any requested transfer or
exchange of a Bond shall necessitate the printing of
additional Bonds, the Registrar may require that the cost of
such printing be paid by the Issuer. The Issuer and the
Registrar shall not be obligated to issue, exchange,
authenticate or transfer any Bond (a) during a period
beginning on the Record Date before any Interest Payment Date
or Redemption Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date or
Redemption Date, or (b) during a period beginning on the
fifteenth day before the mailing of notice of redemption of
Bonds and ending on the date of such mailing.
-18-
New Bonds, delivered upon any transfer or exchange
shall be valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same
debt as the Bond surrendered, shall be secured by the
ordinance, and shall be entitled to all of the security and
benefits of the Ordinance to the same extent as the Bonds
surrendered.
The Issuer and the Registrar may deem and treat the
Registered Holder hereof (whether or not this Bond shall be
overdue) on the Record Date or Special Record Date as the
absolute owner of this Bond for the purpose of receiving
payment of or on account of the principal hereof, any
redemption premium and interest due hereon, and on any other
date for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the
Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
It is hereby recited, certified and warranted that
all the requirements of law have been fully complied with by
the proper officers of the Issuer in the issuance of this
Bond.
For the payment of this Bond and the interest hereon,
the Issuer pledges the exercise of all its lawful corporate
powers.

C. Bonds Ratably Secured. The covenants and
agreements herein set forth to be performed on behalf of the
Issuer shall be for the ratable benefit, protection and
security of the Holders of any and all of the Bonds, all of
which Bonds regardless of the time or times of their maturity,
shall be of equal rank without preference, priority or
distinction of any of the Bonds over any other thereof, except
as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant to this
ordinance.
D. Special Obligations. All of the Bonds, as to
all Debt Service Requirements thereof, shall be payable and
collectible solely out of the Pledged Revenues. The
registered Holder or Holders of any of the Bonds may not look
to any general or other fund of the Issuer for the payment of
the Debt Service Requirements, except the herein designated
special funds pledged therefor. The Bonds shall not constitute
a general obligation or a debt of the Issuer within the
meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision or
limitation of the State of Colorado or the Charter of the
Issuer. The Bonds and interest thereon shall not be
considered or held to be general obligations of the Issuer but
shall constitute the special and limited obligations of the
Issuer. The Bonds are not payable in whole or in part from
the proceeds of general property taxes and the full faith and
credit of the Issuer is not pledged for payment of the Bonds.
E. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Bonds.
The Issuer will cause to be kept at the principal corporate
trust office of the Registrar a Bond Register in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Registrar may
prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of
Bonds and the registration of transfers of Bonds entitled to
be registered or transferred as herein provided.
Each of the Bonds may be transferred or exchanged by
the Holder thereof upon surrender for transfer or exchange of
such Bond at the principal corporate office of the Registrar,
or any successor transfer agent, duly endorsed or accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer or authorization for
exchange in form satisfactory to the Registrar and executed by
the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in
writing. Thereupon the Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for such transferred or exchanged Bond, a
new fully registered Bond in the name of the transferee, or,
if exchanged, the Holder and issued in a principal amount
equal to the principal amount of the transferred or exchanged
Bond, of the same maturity, and bearing interest at the same
rate. The Issuer or the Registrar may require that the cost,
if any, of preparing each new Bond upon such exchange or
-21-
transfer and any other expenses of the Issuer or the
Registrar, including counsel fees, and any tax or other
governmental charge, incurred in connection therewith (except
in the case of an exchange resulting from the redemption of
the Bond exchanged) shall be paid by the Holder requesting
such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the
exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer.
If any requested transfer or exchange of a Bond shall
necessitate the printing of additional Bonds, the Registrar
may require that the cost of such printing be paid by the
Issuer. The Issuer and the Registrar shall not be obligated
to issue, exchange, authenticate or transfer any Bonds
(a) during a period beginning on the Record Date before any
Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date and ending on such
Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or (b) during a
period beginning on the fifteenth day before the mailing of
notice of redemption of Bonds and ending on the date of such
mailing.
Section 4. Preliminary Official Statement; Official
Statement. The City Council hereby approves the preparation
and use of a Preliminary Official Statement relating to the
issuance and sale of the Bonds. The use of a Final Official
Statement by the Purchaser for the offering of the Bonds to
the public is approved and the Mayor, on behalf of the City,
is authorized to sign one or more copies of the Final Official
Statement.
Section 5. Special Funds.
A. Disnosition of Bond Proceeds and Other Revenues;
Security For Bonds. The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds
and the Pledged Revenues shall be deposited by the Issuer in
the funds described in this Section 5, to be accounted for in
the manner and priority set forth in this Section 5.
The Purchaser of the Bonds, any associate thereof,
and any subsequent Holder of any Bonds shall in no manner be
responsible for the application or disposal by the Issuer or
by any of its officers, agents and employees of the moneys
derived from the sale of the Bonds or of any other moneys
designated in this Section 5.
(1) A special fund is hereby created and designated
as the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, Sales Tax Revenue Bond
Capital Project Fund (the "Capital Project Fund"). The
proceeds of the Bonds, except the sums required in Section 5B
hereof to be deposited in the Debt Service Fund and the sum
required in Section 5C hereof to be deposited in the Reserve
Fund shall be deposited in the Capital Project Fund, and shall
be used solely to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds and to
-22-
pay for or reimburse the Issuer for any Project costs paid
after June 13, 1988. The proceeds of the Capital Project Fund
shall not be pledged to payment of the Bonds.
(2) Immediately upon the receipt or collection
thereof, the Issuer shall deposit into the Capital Improvement
Fund the revenues collected from the 1% Sales Tax pledged
thereto. In December of each year, after the monthly deposit
required to be made under Section 5B hereof and after any
deposits required by Section 5C hereof, all proceeds in the
Capital Improvement Fund shall be transferred to the Capital
Project Fund.
(3) The Pledged Revenues are hereby assigned and
pledged to secure the payment of the Debt Service Requirements
of the Bonds, subject to the application of the Pledged
Revenues for payment of Debt Service Requirements of Parity
Securities; and this assignment and pledge shall be valid and
binding from and after the date of the first delivery of the
Bonds, and the moneys, as received by the Issuer, and hereby
assigned and pledged, shall immediately be subject to the lien
of this assignment and pledge without any physical delivery
thereof, any filing, or further act, and the lien of this
assignment and pledge and the obligation to perform the
contractual provisions hereby made shall have priority over
any or all other obligations and liabilities of the Issuer
(except as herein otherwise expressly provided), and the lien
of this assignment and pledge shall be valid and binding as
against all parties having claims of any kind in tort,
contract or otherwise against the Issuer (except as herein
otherwise expressly provided), irrespective of whether such
parties have notice thereof.
B. Debt Service Fund. The Issuer hereby
establishes a special fund designated as the City of Wheat
Ridge, Colorado, Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Debt Service Fund
(the "Debt Service Fund"). The Issuer shall deposit forthwith
upon receipt of the proceeds of the Bonds, interest accrued
thereon from their date of issue to the date of delivery
thereof to the Purchaser, to apply to the payment of interest
on the Bonds as the same becomes due after their delivery.
There shall be credited from the Capital Improvement
Fund to the Debt Service Fund the following amount:
(1) Interest Payments. Monthly, an amount in
approximately equal monthly installments necessary, together
with any moneys therein and available therefor, to pay 1/6 of
the next maturing installment of interest on the Bonds and
additional Parity Securities.
-23-
(2) Principal Payments. Monthly, an amount in
approximately equal monthly installments necessary, together
with any moneys therein and available therefor, to pay 1/12 of
any installment of principal of the outstanding Bonds and
additional Parity Securities payable in the Bond Year during
which such payment occurs.
The moneys credited to the Debt Service Fund shall be
used solely to promptly pay when due the Debt Service
Requirements of the Bonds, and any other Parity Securities
then outstanding, except as otherwise provided in this
Ordinance. Investment or interest income of the Debt Service
Fund shall remain therein for payment of the Bonds.
The Debt Service Fund (i) is established primarily to
achieve a proper matching of revenues and debt service within
each year and (ii) will be depleted at least once a year
except for a reasonable carry-over amount (not to exceed the
greater of (a) one year's earnings on the Debt Service Fund or
(b) one-twelfth of annual debt service).
The Issuer shall be entitled to credits against such
payments for any sums on hand in the Debt Service Fund which
are available for the payment of Debt Service Requirements,
including investment income from the Debt Service Fund and the
Reserve Fund.
C. Reserve Fund. The Issuer hereby establishes a
special fund designated as the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado,
Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Reserve Fund. Forthwith upon receipt
of the proceeds of the Bonds, the Issuer shall deposit the sum
of $299,000 from proceeds of the Bonds. The Issuer shall
maintain the Reserve Fund at a minimum amount equal to
$299,000 plus those amounts hereafter or heretofore required
to be deposited in the Reserve Fund. The moneys in the
Reserve Fund shall be maintained as a continuing reserve to be
used, except as hereinafter provided in this Section 5C and
Sections 5D and 9 hereof, only to prevent deficiencies in
payment of the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds, any
Additional Parity Bonds and any other Parity Securities, then
outstanding, resulting from failure to deposit into the Debt
Service Fund sufficient funds to pay such Debt Service
Requirements as the same accrue.
If at any time the Issuer shall for any reason fail
to pay into the Debt Service Fund the full amount above
stipulated, then the Issuer shall pay into the Debt Service
Fund at such time from the Reserve Fund an amount equal to the
difference between that paid from the Pledged Revenues and the
-24-
full amount so stipulated. For the purpose of maintaining the
Reserve Fund at the minimum amount required to be maintained
therein, the money so used shall be replaced and transferred
to the Reserve Fund from the first Pledged Revenues credited
to the Capital Improvement Fund thereafter received and not
required to be otherwise applied by Section 5B hereof. In the
event that said first moneys credited to the Capital
Improvement Fund have been insufficient during a given Fiscal
Year to rebuild the Reserve Fund to the minimum amount
required to be maintained therein, then during the month of
December of said Fiscal Year, the Issuer shall credit to the
Capital Improvement Fund for transfer to the Reserve Fund,
from legally available proceeds other than the Pledged
Revenue, a sum equal to the difference between the minimum
amount required to be maintained in the Reserve Fund and any
lesser sum deposited therein.
D. Termination of Deposits; Use of Moneys in Debt
Service Fund and Reserve Fund. No payment need be made into
the Bond Fund or the Reserve Fund if the amount in such funds
totals a sum at least equal to all Debt Service Requirements
of the Outstanding Bonds and any outstanding Parity Securities
to their respective maturities or to any Redemption Date or
Redemption Dates on which the Issuer shall have exercised or
shall have obligated itself to exercise its option to redeem,
prior to their respective maturities, and Bonds, any
Additional Parity Bonds and any other Parity securities, then
Outstanding, and thereafter maturing, both accrued and not
accrued (provided that, solely for the purpose of this Section
5E, there shall be deemed to be a credit to the Reserve Fund
of moneys, Federal Securities and bank deposits, or any
combinations thereof, accounted for in any other account or
accounts of the Issuer and restricted solely for the purpose
of paying the Debt Service Requirements). In such case,
moneys in the Debt Service Fund and the Reserve Fund (except
for any known interest or other gain to accrue from any
investment or deposit of moneys pursuant to Section 6B hereof
from the time of any such investment or deposit to the time or
respective times the proceeds of any such investment or
deposit shall be needed for such payment, at least equal to
such Debt Service Requirements) shall be used together with
any such gain from such investments and deposits solely to pay
such Debt Service Requirements as the same become due. Any
moneys in excess thereof in the Debt Service Fund and the
Reserve Fund and any other moneys derived from the Pledged
Revenues may be used in any lawful manner determined by the
Issuer.
The moneys in the Debt Service Fund and the Reserve
Fund shall be used solely and only for the purpose of paying
-25-
the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds and any other
Parity Securities authorized and outstanding from time to
time; but any moneys at any time in excess of the minimum
amount required to be maintained in the Reserve Fund may be
withdrawn therefrom, and transferred from time to time to the
Debt Service Fund and distributed in the same manner as other
moneys in the Debt Service Fund.
E. Payment of Additional Subordinate Securities.
Subsequent to provision in full for the payments and fund
maintenance transfers required by the foregoing provisions of
this Section 5, any moneys remaining in the Capital
Improvement Fund may be used by the Issuer for the payment of
Debt Service Requirements of additional Subordinate Securities
payable from the Pledged Revenues and hereafter authorized to
be issued in accordance with this Ordinance and any other
provisions herein supplemental thereto, including reasonable
reserves for such Subordinate Securities, as the same accrue;
but the lien of such Subordinate Securities on the Pledged
Revenues and the pledge thereof for the payment of such
Subordinate Securities shall be subordinate to the lien and
pledge of the Bonds and any Parity Securities as herein
provided.
F. Use of Remaining Revenues. After the above-
required payments have been made, and there shall have been
credited to the Debt Service Fund and the Reserve Fund for the
payment of the Bonds and any other securities payable from the
Pledged Revenues all amounts required to be deposited therein,
then any moneys remaining in the Capital Improvement Fund may
be used by the Issuer in any manner authorized by law for said
fund.
G. Budget and Appropriation of Funds. The sums
provided to make the payments specified in this Section 5 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
Bonds, either as to principal or interest, are outstanding and
unpaid. No provisions of any constitution, statute, charter,
ordinance, resolution, or other order or measure enacted after
the issuance of the Bonds shall in any manner be construed as
limiting or impairing the obligation of the Issuer to keep and
perform the covenants contained in this Ordinance so long as
any of the Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid.
-26-
Section 6. General Administration of Funds.
A. Places and Times of Deposits. The Debt Service
Fund and the Reserve Fund shall be maintained in a Bank as a
book account kept separate and apart for accounting purposes
from all other accounts or funds of the Issuer as trust
accounts solely for the purposes herein designated therefor;
provided that there may be established separate accounts and
subaccounts of any fund or account in more than one Bank. For
purposes of investment of moneys, nothing herein prevents the
combination of such accounts with any other Bank account or
accounts or other funds of the City. Each periodic payment
shall be credited to the proper book account not later than
the date therefor 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.
B. Investment of Funds. Any moneys in any fund
designated herein may be invested as provided by law. The
obligations so purchased as an investment of moneys in each
such fund shall be deemed to be part of such fund, and the
interest accruing thereon or investment income realized
therefrom shall be credited to each such fund. Any loss
resulting from such investment shall be charged to the fund
from which the investment was made. The Issuer shall present
for redemption or sale on the prevailing market any
obligations so purchased as an investment of moneys in any
fund whenever it shall be necessary to do so in order to
provide moneys to meet any payment or transfer from such fund.
C. No Liability for Losses Incurred in Performing
Terms of Ordinance. Neither the Issuer nor any officer,
employee or agent of the Issuer shall be liable or responsible
for any loss resulting from any investment or reinvestment
made in accordance with this Ordinance.
Section 7. Priorities; Liens; Issuance of Additional
Bonds.
A. First Lien on Pledged Revenues; Issuance of
Parity Securities. The Bonds constitute an irrevocable and
first lien (but not necessarily an exclusive first lien) upon
the Pledged Revenues.
Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed in such
a manner as to prevent the issuance by the Issuer of Parity
Securities, payable from and constituting a lien upon the
Pledged Revenues on a parity with the lien of the Bonds,
provided, however, that before any such Parity Securities are
-27-
authorized or actually issued (except as provided in
Subsection F hereof) the following conditions must be
satisfied:
(1) Absence of Default. The Issuer is current in
all payments required to have been accumulated in the Debt
Service Fund as required herein.
(2) Historic Revenues Test. The Pledged Revenues,
as certified to the Issuer by an Independent Accountant,
derived in the last complete Fiscal Year immediately preceding
the date of the issuance of such Parity Securities, shall have
been sufficient to pay an amount at least equal to 135% of the
sum derived by adding the following (i) the Average Annual
Debt Service for the Outstanding Bonds, and (ii) the Average
Annual Debt Service for all other Outstanding Parity
Securities and (iii) the Average Annual Debt Service for the
Parity Securities proposed to be issued. For the purpose of
the foregoing test, variable rate bonds shall be assumed to
bear interest at a fixed rate equal to the greater of ten
percent or the highest variable rate actually borne by such
bonds over the previous twenty-four months, and proposed
variable rate bonds shall be assumed to bear interest at the
highest variable rate authorized for said bonds.
(3) Projected Revenues Test. The estimated Pledged
Revenues, as reasonably estimated and certified by the City
Administrator of the Issuer, for the Fiscal Year of issuance
of the proposed additional Parity Securities, shall be
sufficient to pay an amount at least equal to 135% of the sum
derived by adding: (1) the Average Annual Debt Service for
the Outstanding Bonds, and (2) the Average Annual Debt Service
for all other Outstanding Parity Securities and (3) the
Average Annual Debt Service for the Parity Securities proposed
to be issued.
(4) Adjustment of Revenues. In the computation of
the revenues test herein, the amount of the Pledged Revenues
for such Fiscal Year may be increased by the amount of gain
which is estimated by the City Administrator of the Issuer to
result from any increase in the amount of the Pledged Revenue
proceeds during the Fiscal Year as provided in an ordinance
providing for increase in the Sales Tax rates contributed to
the Capital Improvement Fund or additions of sources of
Pledged Revenues if such ordinance is effective and the
referendum period therefor has expired prior to the issuance
of the Parity Securities.
-28-
(5) Adequate Reserves. The proceedings under which
any such Parity Securities are issued must provide for the
deposit of moneys to the Reserve Fund from any source legally
available to the Issuer, and contain a covenant by the Issuer
to maintain the Reserve Fund, in an amount at least equal to
10% of the amount of additional Parity Securities received by
the Issuer (after payment of any underwriter's discount),
which amount shall be in addition to the amounts required to
be maintained in the Reserve Fund with respect to the Bonds or
any other Parity Securities issued prior to the proposed
Parity Securities; provided that such deposit need not be in
excess of any amount which would result in the Bonds or any
Parity Securities being considered "arbitrage bonds" within
the meaning of the Code.
B. Reduction of Annual Requirements. The aggregate
Debt Service Requirements calculated in determining the
respective Annual Average Debt Service set forth in Section 7A
hereof shall be reduced to the extent such Debt Service
Requirements are scheduled to be paid with moneys actually on
hand in the Debt Service Fund or the Reserve Fund at the time
of such calculation.
C. Certification of Revenues. In the case of the
computation of the revenues test provided in Section 7A(2) and
(3), the specified and required written certification by the
Independent Accountant or the City Administrator that such
annual revenues are sufficient to pay such amounts as provided
in Section 7A(2) and (3) hereof shall be conclusively presumed
to be accurate in determining the right of the Issuer to
authorize, issue, sell and deliver Parity Securities.
D. Subordinate Securities Permitted. Nothing
herein, subject to the limitations stated in this Ordinance,
prevents the Issuer from issuing additional bonds or other
additional securities for any lawful purpose payable from the
Pledged Revenues and having a lien thereon subordinate,
inferior and junior to the lien thereon of the Bonds.
E. Superior Securities Prohibited. Nothing herein
permits the Issuer to issue additional bonds or other
additional securities payable from the Pledged Revenues and
having a lien thereon prior and superior to the lien thereon
of the Bonds.
F. Refunding Bonds. (1) Generally. If at any time
after the Bonds, or any part thereof, shall have been issued
and remain outstanding, the Issuer shall find it desirable to
refund any outstanding obligations payable from the Pledged
Revenues, said obligations, or any part thereof, may be
-29-
refunded, subject to the provisions of this section, if
(a) 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 Issuer's option
upon proper call, or (b) the owners of the obligations to be
refunded consent to such surrender and payment.
(2) 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 Issuer by any proceedings
authorizing the issuance of any unrefunded portion of such
obligations; but so long as any Bonds are outstanding,
refunding obligations payable from the Pledged Revenues may be
issued on a parity with the refunded Bonds or Parity
Securities only if:
(i) Prior Consent. The Issuer first
receives the consent of the owner or owners of the
unrefunded Bonds or Parity Securities; or
(ii) Requirements Not Increased. The
refunding obligations do not increase, 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 Parity Securities 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
(iii) Earnings Test. The refunding
obligations are issued in compliance with Sections 7A
through C hereof.
Section 8. Covenants.
The Issuer hereby particularly represents, covenants
and agrees with the Holders of the Bonds that:
A. Amendment of City Sales Tax Ordinance;
Continuance and Collection of Taxes. The City Sales Tax
Ordinance is now in full force and effect and has not been
repealed. Subject to the limitations imposed by law, the
Issuer will impose sufficient Sales Tax to pay the Debt
Service Requirements of the Bonds and any Parity Securities
and to pay any other obligations or amounts required
hereunder.
-30-
If the City Sales Tax Ordinance, or any modifying or
supplemental ordinance not contravening the limitations of
this section, or any part of said ordinances, shall ever be
held to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be the duty of
the Issuer to adopt immediately another ordinance, to seek
such voter approval, if any, as may then be required by law,
or take any action necessary to produce substantially the same
Pledged Revenues as would be produced under the terms of the
City Sales Tax ordinance as it exists at the time of the
issuance of the Bonds. To the extent that any changes in the
Sales Tax or the City Sales Tax Ordinance may lawfully be
imposed on the City by the State, the City covenants to take
such action as may be necessary or appropriate to produce
substantially the same Pledged Revenues as would be produced
under the terms of the City Sales Tax Ordinance as it exists
at the time of the issuance of the Bonds. To the extent that
the Sales Tax may lawfully be replaced or superseded by any
other tax or revenue source (including, without limitation,
any state-collected, locally-shared sales and/or use taxes),
the revenues derived by the City from such replacement tax or
revenue source shall become Pledged Revenues under this
ordinance.
The Issuer has established and shall maintain the
Capital Improvement Fund as a fund of the Issuer separate and
distinct from all other funds of the Issuer and immediately
upon receipt or collection of Sales Tax shall deposit the
necessary allocated proceeds into said fund.
The Issuer shall take all reasonable action necessary
to collect delinquent payments of the Sales Tax or to cause
such delinquent payments to be collected.
B. Impairment of Contract. The City agrees that
any law, ordinance or resolution of the City, in any manner
affecting the Sales Tax, the Pledged Revenues, or the Bonds,
or otherwise appertaining thereto, shall not be repealed or
otherwise directly or indirectly modified in such a manner as
to materially adversely affect any Bonds outstanding, unless
the required consent of the owners of sixty-six percent (66%)
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Bonds,
all as provided in Section 11 of this ordinance.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section
or this Ordinance, the City shall retain the right to make
changes, without any consent of the Holders of the Bonds, in
the City Sales Tax ordinance, or any ordinance supplemental
thereto or in substitution therefor, concerning the use of
proceeds of the Sales Tax remaining after the current
requirements of all ordinances authorizing bonds or other
-31-
securities payable from th Sales Tax, or any portion thereof,
have been met; or concerning changes in applicability,
exemptions, administration, collection or enforcement of the
Sales Tax, if such changes do not materially adversely affect
the security for the Bonds; but the City shall not reduce the
present rate of the allocated Sales Tax.
C. Defense of Legality of Pledged Revenues;
Application of Proceeds of Project; Use of Proceeds of Sales
Tax. There is not pending or threatened any suit, action or
proceeding against or affecting the Issuer before or by any
court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other governmental
authority which affects the validity or legality of this
ordinance or the imposition and collection of the Sales Tax,
any of the Issuer's obligations under this Ordinance or any of
the transactions contemplated by this Ordinance.
The Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by law,
defend the validity and legality of the Sales Tax and this
ordinance, and all amendments thereto against all claims,
suits and proceedings which would diminish or impair the
Pledged Revenue security for the Bonds.
Except as specified in this Ordinance, the Issuer has
not assigned or pledged the Pledged Revenues in any manner
which would diminish the security for payment of the Bonds.
D. Performance of Duties. The Issuer will
faithfully and punctually perform, or cause to be performed,
all duties with respect to the Pledged Revenues required by
the Constitution and laws of the State and the Charter and the
various ordinances and resolutions and contracts of the
Issuer, including, without limitation, the proper segregation
of the proceeds of the Bonds and the Pledged Revenues and
their application from time to time to the respective funds
provided therefor.
E. Costs of Bond Issue and of Performance. Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the
Bonds, payment of the Debt Service Requirements, or with the
Issuer's performance of or compliance with any covenant or
agreement contained in this Ordinance, shall be paid
exclusively (but only from the appropriate special fund in the
manner authorized herein) from the proceeds of the Bonds, or
from the Pledged Revenues, or from other legally available
moneys, and in no event shall any of such costs or expenses be
required to be paid out of or charged to the general funds of
the Issuer.
-32-
F. Contractual Obligations. The Issuer will
perform all contractual obligations undertaken by it under the
the Paying Agency Agreement, and any other agreements relating
to the Bonds, this Ordinance or the Pledged Revenues. The
Mayor and the City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute and
deliver such agreements in connection with the issuance of the
Bonds.
G. Further Assurances. The Issuer shall, so far as
it may be authorized by law, execute, and file or record all
further instruments, and make all further assurances as may be
necessary or desirable or as may be reasonable and required to
carry out the purposes of this Ordinance. The Issuer, 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 the Pledged Revenues and other funds and
accounts pledged hereunder and all the rights of every Holder
of any of the Bonds against all claims and demands of all
Persons.
H. Conditions Precedent. Upon the date of issuance
of any of the 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, or this
Ordinance, to exist, to have happened, and to have been
performed precedent to or in the issuance of the Bonds shall
exist, have happened and have been performed, and the Bonds,
together with all other obligations of the Issuer, 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 of Colorado, or the Charter.
I. Records. The Issuer will keep proper books of
record and account, separate and apart from all other records
and accounts, showing complete and correct entries of all
transactions relating to the proceeds of the Sales Tax and the
funds established herein, and any Holder of any of the Bonds
shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect the
same.
J. Protection of Security. The Issuer, its
officers, agents and employees, shall not take any action in
such manner or to such extent as might prejudice the security
for the payment of the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds
and any other securities payable from the Pledged Revenues
according to the terms thereof. No contract shall be entered
into nor any other action taken by which the rights of any
Holder of any Bond or other security payable from Pledged
Revenues might be prejudicially and materially impaired or
diminished.
-33-
K. Accumulation of Interest Claims. In order to
prevent any accumulation of interest or claims for interest
after maturity, the Issuer shall not directly or indirectly
extend or assent to the extension of the time for the payment
of any interest or claim for interest on any of the Bonds or
any other securities payable from Pledged Revenues; and the
Issuer shall not directly or indirectly be a party to or
approve any arrangements for any such extension or for the
purpose of keeping alive any of such coupons or other claims
for interest. If the item for the payment for any such
installation of interest is extended in contravention of the
foregoing provisions, such installment or installments of
interest after such extension or arrangement shall not be
entitled in case of default hereunder to the benefit or the
security of this ordinance, except upon the prior payment in
full of the principal of all of the Bonds and any such
securities or interest the payment of which has not been
extended.
L. Prompt Payment of Bonds. The Issuer shall
promptly pay the Debt Service Requirements of every Bond at
the places, on the dates, and in the manner specified herein
and in the Bonds according to the true intent and meaning
hereof.
M. Other Liens. Other than as provided herein,
there are no other liens or encumbrances of any nature
whatsoever on or against the Pledged Revenues.
N. Special Tax Covenants. The Issuer covenants to
and for the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds that it will
not take any action, or fail to take any action, if any such
action or failure to take action would adversely affect the
exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds under
section 103 of the Code, including, but not limited to, the
following:
(i) Arbitrage. The Issuer will not directly or
indirectly use or permit the use of any proceeds of the Bonds
or any other funds of the Issuer in such a manner, or take or
omit to take any action, that would cause the Bonds to be
"arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of section 148(a) of the
Code. To that end, the Issuer will comply with all
requirements of section 148 of the Code to the extent
applicable to the Bonds. In the event that at any time the
Issuer is of the opinion that for purposes of this paragraph,
it is necessary to restrict or limit the yield on the
investment of any moneys held by the Issuer under this
ordinance, the Issuer shall take such action as may be
necessary.
-34-
(ii) Registration. The Issuer shall take all
necessary action to have the Bonds registered within the
meaning of section 149(a) of the Code and any regulations
promulgated thereunder.
(iii) Federal Guarantee Prohibition. The Issuer
shall not take any action or permit or suffer any action to be
taken if the result of the same would be to cause the Bonds to
be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b)
of the Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
(iv) Information Reporting. The Issuer shall
timely file a federal information return with respect to the
Bonds as required by section 149(e) of the Code.
Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph, the
Issuer may rely conclusively on an opinion of Bond Counsel in
complying, or in any deviation from complying, with the
provisions hereof.
The Issuer hereby designates all of the Bonds to be
"qualified tax exempt obligations" for purposes of
section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The Issuer hereby certifies
that the reasonably anticipated amount of qualified tax-exempt
obligations which will be issued by the Issuer during 1988
does not exceed $10,000,000.00.
Section 9. Defeasance.
When all Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds have
been duly paid, the pledge and lien and all obligations
hereunder shall thereby be discharged and the Bonds shall no
longer be deemed to be outstanding within the meaning of this
Ordinance. There shall be deemed to be such due payment when
the Issuer has placed in escrow or in trust with a Trust Bank
located within or without the State, moneys or Federal
securities in an amount sufficient (including the known
minimum yield available for such purpose from Federal
securities in which such amount wholly or in part may be
initially invested) to meet all Debt Service Requirements of
the Bonds, as the same become due to the final maturities of
the Bonds or upon any Redemption Date as of which the Issuer
shall have exercised or shall have obligated itself to
exercise its prior redemption option by a call of Bonds for
payment then. The Federal Securities shall not be subject to
prior redemption by the obligor thereof prior to the
respective times at which the proceeds thereof shall be
needed, but shall become due prior to the respective times at
which the proceeds thereof shall be needed, in accordance with
-35-
a schedule established and agreed upon between the Issuer and
such bank at the time of the creation of the escrow or trust,
or the Federal Securities shall be subject to redemption at
the option of the holder thereof to assure such availability
as so needed to meet such schedule.
Section 10. Default Provisions and Remedies.
A. Events of Default. Each of the following events
is hereby declared to be and to constitute an Event of
Default:
(1) Nonpayment of Principal. Payment of the
principal of or the redemption premium due for any of the
Bonds is not made when the same becomes due and payable,
either at maturity or by proceedings for prior redemption or
otherwise;
(2) Nonpayment of Interest. Payment of any
installment of interest on the Bonds is not made when the same
becomes due and payable;
(3) Incapable to Perform. The Issuer for any
reason is, or is rendered, incapable of fulfilling its
obligations hereunder.
(4) Default of Any Provision. The Issuer makes
any default in the due and punctual performance of any of the
representations, covenants, conditions, agreements and other
provisions contained in the Bonds or in this ordinance on its
part to be performed, other than those provided in paragraphs
(1), (2) and (3) of this Section and if such default continues
for sixty days after written notice, specifying such default
and requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Issuer
by Holders of at least twenty-five percent in aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding; provided that
if such default cannot be cured within such sixty days, and
during that period corrective action has commenced to remedy
such default and subsequently is diligently pursued to the
completion of such performance, an Event of Default shall not
be deemed to have occurred.
B. Remedies for Defaults. Upon the happening and
continuance of any of the Events of Default, as provided in
Section 10A hereof, then and in every case the Holders of not
less than twenty-five percent in principal amount of the Bonds
then outstanding, including, without limitation, a trustee or
trustees therefor, may proceed against the Issuer to protect
and to enforce the rights of any Holder of Bonds under this
ordinance by mandamus or by other suit, action, or special
-36-
proceedings in equity or at law, in any court of competent
jurisdiction, either for the specific performance of any
covenant or agreement contained herein or for any proper legal
or equitable remedy as such Holders, trustee or trustees may
deem most effectual to protect and to enforce the rights
aforesaid, or thereby to enjoin any act or thing which may be
unlawful or in violation of any right of any Holder of any
Bond, or to require the Issuer to act as if it were the
trustee of an expressed trust, or any combination of such
remedies, or as otherwise may be authorized by any statute or
other provision of law. All such proceedings at law or in
equity shall be instituted, had and maintained for the ratable
benefit of all Holders of the Bonds.
C. Rights and Privileges Cumulative. The failure
of any Holder of any Outstanding Bond to proceed in any manner
herein provided shall not relieve the Issuer, or any of its
officers, agents or employees of any obligation to perform or
carry out any duty, obligation or other commitment. Each
right or privilege of any such Holder (or trustee thereof) is
in addition and is cumulative to any other right or privilege,
and the exercise of any right or privilege by or on behalf of
any Holder shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right or
privilege thereof.
D. Duties Upon Default. Upon the happening of any
of the Events of Default as provided in Section 10A hereof,
the Issuer, in addition, will do and perform all proper acts
on behalf of and for the Holders of the Outstanding Bonds to
protect and to preserve the security created for the payment
of their Bonds and to insure the payment of the Debt Service
Requirements promptly as the same become due.

time of the adoption of such amendatory Ordinance or other

so long as such amendments do not cause the Issuer to violate

of Bond owners, amend the City Sales Tax Ordinance to the
extent permitted by Section 8A hereof.
