Said fiscal agent bank or banks shall make available from the Sinking Fund to the Paying Agent at least one (1) day in advance of each Interest Payment Date funds fully sufficient to pay promptly the principal and/or interest falling due on such date.

The District, acting through the Board of Commissioners, hereby covenants that it will issue no other bonds or obligations of any kind or nature payable from or enjoying a lien on the Tax revenues or moneys in the Sinking Fund having priority over or parity with the Bonds, except that Additional Parity Bonds may hereafter be issued on a parity with the Bonds under the following conditions: (a) The Bonds or any part thereof, including interest, may be refunded, and the refunding bonds so issued shall enjoy complete equality of lien with the portion of the Bonds which is not re- funded, if there be any, and the re- funding bonds shall continue to enjoy whatever priority of lien over subsequent issues may have been enjoyed by the Bonds refunded; provided, however, that if only a portion of the Bonds outstanding is so refunded and the refunding bonds require total principal and interest payments during any Bond Year in excess of the principal and interest which would have been required in such year to pay the Bonds refunded thereby, then such Bonds may not be refunded without the consent of the owners of the unrefunded portion of the Bonds. (b) Additional Parity Bonds may also be issued on parity with the Bonds and any outstanding Additional Parity Bonds if all of the following conditions are met: (i) The anticipated avails or proceeds of the Tax in the calendar year in which the additional bonds are to be issued must be at least 1.35 times the combined principal and interest requirements for any future calendar year on the Bonds, any outstanding Additional Parity Bonds and the Additional Parity Bonds to be issued.

SECTION 16. Rights of Bondholders; Appointment of Receiver in Event of De- fault.

SECTION 20. Cancellation of Bonds. All Bonds paid or prepaid either at or before maturity, together with all bonds purchased by the District, shall thereupon be promptly cancelled by the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall thereupon promptly furnish to the Chief Financial Officer of the District an appropriate certificate of cancellation. SECTION 21. Mutilated, Des-troyed, Lost or Stolen Bonds. If (1) any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Paying Agent, or the District and the Paying Agent receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Bond, and (2) there is delivered to the District and the Paying Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the District or the Paying Agent that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the District shall execute, and upon its request the Paying Agent shall register and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, des-troyed, lost, or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the same maturity and of like tenor, interest rate and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. In case any such mutilated, des-troyed, lost or stolen Bond has become or is about to become due and payable, the District in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Bond, pay such Bond. Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Paragraph, the District may require the payment by the Owner of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other ex- penses (including the fees and ex- penses of the Paying Agent) connected therewith. Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Paragraph in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen bond shall constitute a re- placement of the prior obligation of the District, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of the Bond Resolution. Any additional procedures set forth in the Agreement authorized in the Bond Resolution, shall also be available with respect to mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds.

Any successor Paying Agent appointed hereunder shall at all times be a bank or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If required, the Executive Officers are hereby authorized and directed to execute an appropriate Agreement with the Paying Agent for and on behalf of the District in such form as may be satisfactory to said officers, the signatures of said officers on such Agreement to be conclusive evidence of the due exercise of the authority granted hereunder. SECTION 23. Notices to Owners. Wherever this Bond Resolution provides for notice to Owners of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid or via accepted means of electronic communication, to each Owner of such Bonds, at the address of such Owner as it ap- pears in the Bond Register. In any case where notice to Owners is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice to any particular Owner, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to all other Bonds. Where this Bond Resolution provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Owner entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Owners shall be filed with the Paying Agent, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. SECTION 24.

SECTION 26. Arbitrage. The District covenants and agrees that, to the extent permitted by the laws of the State, it will comply with the requirements of the Code in order to establish, maintain and preserve the exclusion from “gross income” of interest on the Bonds under the Code. The District further covenants and agrees that it will not take any action, fail to take any action, or permit any action within its control to be taken, or permit at any time or times any of the proceeds of the Bonds or any other funds of the District to be used directly or indirectly in any manner, the effect of which would be to cause the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” or would result in the inclusion of the interest on any of the Bonds in gross income under the Code, including, without limitation, (i) the failure to comply with the limitation on investment of Bond proceeds or (ii) the failure to pay any required rebate of arbitrage earnings to the United States of America or (iii) the use of the proceeds of the Bonds in a manner which would cause the Bonds to be “private activity bonds.” The Executive Officers are hereby empowered, authorized and directed to take any and all action and to execute and deliver any instrument, document or bond necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Paragraph. SECTION 27. Small Issuer Exception. The Bonds are designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” pursuant to Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code. SECTION 28. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Bond Resolution or of the Bonds issued hereunder shall for any reason be held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Bond Resolution or of the Bonds, but this Bond Resolution and the Bonds shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provisions had not been contained therein. Any constitutional or statutory provision enacted after the date of this Bond Resolution which validates or makes legal any provision of this Bond Resolution or the Bonds which would not otherwise be valid or legal shall be deemed to apply to this Bond Resolution and to the Bonds.
