Section 3. Registration, Exchange and Payments.
(a) Bond Registrar/Bond Register. The City hereby specifies and adopts the system
of registration approved by the Washington State Finance Committee from time to time
through the appointment of state fiscal agencies. The City shall cause a bond register to be
maintained by the Bond Registrar. So long as any Bonds remain outstanding, the Bond
Registrar shall make all necessary provisions to permit the exchange or registration or transfer
of Bonds at its principal corporate trust office. The Bond Registrar may be removed at any time
at the option of the Finance Director upon prior notice to the Bond Registrar and a successor
Bond Registrar appointed by the Finance Director. No resignation or removal of the Bond
Registrar shall be effective until a successor shall have been appointed and until the successor
Bond Registrar shall have accepted the duties of the Bond Registrar hereunder. The Bond
Registrar is authorized, on behalf of the City, to authenticate and deliver Bonds transferred or
exchanged in accordance with the provisions of such Bonds and this ordinance and to carry out
all of the Bond Registrar's powers and duties under this ordinance. The Bond Registrar shall be
responsible for its representations contained in the Certificate of Authentication of the Bonds.
(b) Registered Ownership. The City and the Bond Registrar, each in its discretion,
may deem and treat the Registered Owner of each Bond as the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes (except as provided in Section 13), and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary. Payment of any such Bond shall be made only as
described in Section 3(h), but such Bond may be transferred as herein provided. All such
payments made as described in Section 3(h) shall be valid and shall satisfy and discharge the
liability of the City upon such Bond to the extent of the amount or amounts so paid.
-9-07/19/11
ORDINANCE NO. 5614
(c) DTC Acceptance/Letters of Representations. The Bonds initially shall be held in
fully immobilized form by DTC acting as depository. To induce DTC to accept the Bonds as
eligible for deposit at DTC, the City has executed and delivered to DTC a Blanket Issuer Letter of
Representations. Neither the City nor the Bond Registrar will have any responsibility or
obligation to DTC participants or the persons for whom they act as nominees (or any successor
depository) with respect to the Bonds in respect of the accuracy of any records maintained by
DTC (or any successor depository) or any DTC participant, the payment by DTC (or any
successor depository) or any DTC participant of any amount in respect of the principal of or
interest on Bonds, any notice which is permitted or required to be given to Registered Owners
under this ordinance (except such notices as shall be required to be given by the City to the
Bond Registrar or to DTC (or any successor depository)), or any consent given or other action
taken by DTC (or any successor depository) as the Registered Owner. For so long as any Bonds
are held in fully-immobilized form hereunder, DTC or its successor depository shall be deemed
to be the Registered Owner for all purposes hereunder, and all references herein to the
Registered Owners shall mean DTC (or any successor depository) or its nominee and shall not
mean the owners of any beneficial interest in such Bonds.
If any Bond shall be duly presented for payment and funds have not been duly provided
by the City on such applicable date, then interest shall continue to accrue thereafter on the
unpaid principal thereof at the rate stated on such Bond until it is paid.
(d) Use of Depository.
(1) The Bonds shall be registered initially in the name of "Cede & Co.", as
nominee of DTC, with one Bond maturing on each of the maturity dates for the Bonds in a
-10-07/19/11
ORDINANCE NO. 5614
denomination corresponding to the total principal therein designated to mature on such date.
Registered ownership of such immobilized Bonds, or any portions thereof, may not thereafter
be transferred except (A) to any successor of DTC or its nominee, provided that any such
successor shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the service proposed to be
provided by it; (B) to any substitute depository appointed by the Finance Director pursuant to
subsection (2) below or such substitute depository's successor; or (C) to any person as provided
in subsection (4) below.
(2) Upon the resignation of DTC or its successor (or any substitute
depository or its successor) from its functions as depository or a determination by the Finance
Director to discontinue the system of book entry transfers through DTC or its successor (or any
substitute depository or its successor), the Finance Director may hereafter appoint a substitute
depository. Any such substitute depository shall be qualified under any applicable laws to
provide the services proposed to be provided by it.
(3) In the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (A) or (B) of subsection (1)
above, the Bond Registrar shall, upon receipt of all outstanding Bonds, together with a written
request on behalf of the Finance Director, issue a single new Bond for each maturity then
outstanding, registered in the name of such successor or such substitute depository, or their
nominees, as the case may be, all as specified in such written request of the Finance Director.
(4) In the event that (A) DTC or its successor (or substitute depository or its
successor) resigns from its functions as depository, and no substitute depository can be
obtained, or (B) the Finance Director determines that it is in the best interest of the beneficial
owners of the Bonds that such owners be able to obtain such bonds in the form of Bond
-11-07/19/11
ORDINANCE NO. 5614
certificates, the ownership of such Bonds may then be transferred to any person or entity as
herein provided, and shall no longer be held in fully-immobilized form. The Finance Director
shall deliver a written request to the Bond Registrar, together with a supply of definitive Bonds,
to issue Bonds as herein provided in any authorized denomination. Upon receipt by the Bond
Registrar of all then outstanding Bonds together with a written request on behalf of the
Finance Director to the Bond Registrar, new Bonds shall be issued in the appropriate
denominations and registered in the names of such persons as are requested in such written
request.
(e) Registration of Transfer of Ownership or Exchange; Change in Denominations.
The transfer of any Bond may be registered and Bonds may be exchanged, but no transfer of
any such Bond shall be valid unless it is surrendered to the Bond Registrar with the assignment
form appearing on such Bond duly executed by the Registered Owner or such Registered
Owner's duly authorized agent in a manner satisfactory to the Bond Registrar. Upon such
surrender, the Bond Registrar shall cancel the surrendered Bond and shall authenticate and
deliver, without charge to the Registered Owner or transferee therefor, a new Bond (or Bonds
at the option of the new Registered Owner) of the same date, maturity and interest rate and
for the same aggregate principal amount in any authorized denomination, naming as
Registered Owner the person or persons listed as the assignee on the assignment form
appearing on the surrendered Bond, in exchange for such surrendered and cancelled Bond.
Any Bond may be surrendered to the Bond Registrar and exchanged, without charge, for an
equal aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the same date, maturity and interest rate, in any
authorized denomination. The Bond Registrar shall not be obligated to register the transfer or
-12-07/19/11
ORDINANCE NO. 5614
to exchange any Bond during the 15 days preceding any interest payment or principal payment
date any such Bond is to be redeemed.
(f) Bond Registrar's Ownership of Bonds. The Bond Registrar may become the
Registered Owner of any Bond with the same rights it would have if it were not the Bond
Registrar, and to the extent permitted by law, may act as depository for and permit any of its
officers or directors to act as a member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any
committee formed to protect the right of the Registered Owners of Bonds.
(g) Registration Covenant. The City covenants that, until all Bonds have been
surrendered and canceled, it will maintain a system for recording the ownership of each Bond
that complies with the provisions of Section 149 of the Code.
(h) Place and Medium of Payment. Both principal of and interest on the Bonds shall
be payable in lawful money of the United States of America. Interest on the Bonds shall be
calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and twelve 30-day months. For so long as all
Bonds are in fully immobilized form, payments of principal and interest thereon shall be made
as provided in accordance with the operational arrangements of DTC referred to in the Letter
of Representations. In the event that the Bonds are no longer in fully immobilized form,
interest on the Bonds shall be paid by check or draft mailed to the Registered Owners at the
addresses for such Registered Owners appearing on the Bond Register on the fifteenth day of
the month preceding the interest payment date, or upon the written request of a Registered
Owner of more than $1,000,000 of Bonds (received by the Bond Registrar at least 15 days prior
to the applicable payment date), such payment shall be made by the Bond Registrar by wire
transfer to the account within the United States designated by the Registered Owner. Principal
-13-07/19/11
ORDINANCE NO. 5614
of the Bonds shall be payable upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds by the
Registered Owners at the principal office of the Bond Registrar.
Section 4. Redemption Prior to Maturity and Purchase of Bonds.
(a) Mandatory Redemption of Term Bonds and Optional Redemption, if any. The
Bonds shall be subject to optional redemption on the dates, at the prices and under the terms
set forth in the Bond Purchase Contract approved by the Designated Representative pursuant
to Section 11. The Bonds shall be subject to mandatory redemption to the extent, if any, set
forth in the Bond Purchase Contract and as approved by the Designated Representative
pursuant to Section 11.
(b) Purchase of Bonds. The City reserves the right to purchase any of the Bonds
offered to it at anytime at a price deemed reasonable by the Designated Representative.
(c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. For as long as the Bonds are held in
book-entry only form, the selection of particular Bonds within a maturity to be redeemed shall
be made in accordance with the operational arrangements then in effect at DTC. If the Bonds
are no longer held in uncertificated form, the selection of such Bonds to be redeemed and the
surrender and reissuance thereof, as applicable, shall be made as provided in the following
provisions of this subsection (c). If the City redeems at any one time fewer than all of the
Bonds having the same maturity date, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds of such
maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by lot (or in such manner determined by the Bond
Registrar) in increments of $5,000. In the case of a Bond of a denomination greater than
$5,000, the City and the Bond Registrar shall treat each Bond as representing such number of
separate Bonds each of the denomination of $5,000 as is obtained by dividing the actual
-14-07/19/11
ORDINANCE NO. 5614
principal amount of such Bond by $5,000. In the event that only a portion of the principal sum
of a Bond is redeemed, upon surrender of such Bond at the principal office of the Bond
Registrar there shall be issued to the Registered Owner, without charge therefor, for the then
unredeemed balance of the principal sum thereof, at the option of the Registered Owner, a
Bond or Bonds of like maturity and interest rate in any of the denominations herein
authorized.
(d) Notice of Redemption.
(1) Official Notice. For so long as the Bonds are held in uncertificated form,
notice of redemption (which notice may be conditional) shall be given in accordance with the
operational arrangements of DTC as then in effect, and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar
will provide any notice of redemption to any Beneficial Owners. Thereafter (if the Bonds are
no longer held in uncertificated form), notice of redemption shall be given in the manner
hereinafter provided. Unless waived by any owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of
any such redemption (which redemption may be conditioned by the Bond Registrar on the
receipt of sufficient funds for redemption or otherwise) shall be given by the Bond Registrar on
behalf of the City by mailing a copy of an official redemption notice by first class mail at least
20 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Registered
Owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Register or at such
other address as is furnished in writing by such Registered Owner to the Bond Registrar.
All official notices of redemption shall be dated and shall state:
(A) the redemption date,
(B) the redemption price,
-15-07/19/11
ORDINANCE NO. 5614
(C) if fewer than all outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the
identification by maturity (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal
amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed,
(D) that on the redemption date the redemption price will become
due and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption, and that
interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date, and
(E) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of
the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the principal office of the Bond
Registrar.
On or prior to any redemption date, the City shall deposit with the Bond Registrar an
amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds
which are to be redeemed on that date.
(2) Effect of Notice; Bonds Due. If an unconditional notice of redemption
has been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the
redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from
and after such date such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Upon
surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bonds shall be
paid by the Bond Registrar at the redemption price. Installments of interest due on or prior to
the redemption date shall be payable as herein provided for payment of interest. All Bonds
which have been redeemed shall be canceled by the Bond Registrar and shall not be reissued.
(3) Additional Notice. In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice
shall be given by the City as set out below, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure
-16-07/19/11
ORDINANCE NO. 5614
to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of
a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as above prescribed. Each further notice of
redemption given hereunder shall contain the information required above for an official notice
of redemption plus (A) the CUSIP numbers of all Bonds being redeemed; (B) the date of issue of
the Bonds as originally issued; (C) the rate of interest borne by each Bond being redeemed;
(D) the maturity date of each Bond being redeemed; and (E) any other descriptive information
needed to identify accurately the Bonds being redeemed. Each further notice of redemption
may be sent at least 20 days before the redemption date to each party entitled to receive
notice pursuant to Section 13 and with such additional information as the City shall deem
appropriate, but such mailings shall not be a condition precedent to the redemption of such
Bonds.
(4) Amendment of Notice Provisions. The foregoing notice provisions of this
Section 4, including but not limited to the information to be included in redemption notices
and the persons designated to receive notices, may be amended by additions, deletions and
changes in order to maintain compliance with duly promulgated regulations and
recommendations regarding notices of redemption of municipal securities.

the requirements of Section 148 of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder
throughout the term of the Bonds.

for the payment of such principal and interest shall be within and as a part of the tax levy

Section 10. Defeasance. In the event that the City, to effect the payment,
retirement or redemption of any Bond, sets aside in the Bond Fund or in another special
account, cash or noncallable Government Obligations, or any combination of cash and/or
noncallable Government Obligations, in amounts and maturities which, together with the
known earned income therefrom, are sufficient to redeem or pay and retire such Bond in
accordance with its terms and to pay when due the interest and redemption premium, if any,
thereon, and such cash and/or noncallable Government Obligations are irrevocably set aside
and pledged for such purpose, then no further payments need be made into the Bond Fund for
the payment of the principal of and interest on such Bond. The owner of a Bond so provided
for shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security of this ordinance except the right to

pursuant to the terms of the Bond Purchase Contract. The Underwriter has advised the
Council that market conditions are fluctuating and, as a result, the most favorable market
conditions may occur on a day other than a regular meeting date of the Council. The Council
has determined that it would be in the best interest of the City to delegate to the Designated
Representative for a limited time the authority to approve the final interest rates, aggregate
principal amount, principal amounts of each maturity of the Bonds, selection of the Refunded
Bonds, and redemption rights. If found to be in the best interest of the City, the Designated
Representative may combine the Bonds authorized herein into a single series with the City's
Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, Series 2011A, authorized to be issued the aggregate
principal amount of not to exceed $18,000,000 pursuant to Ordinance No. 5613 adopted by
the Council on June 20, 2011. Any such designation shall be reflected in the Bond Purchase
Contract for the Bonds and the Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, Series 2011A.
The Designated Representative is hereby authorized to approve the final interest rates,
aggregate principal amount, principal maturities, selection of the Refunded Bonds, whether to
combine the Bonds into a single series with the City's Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds,
-28-07/19/11
ORDINANCE NO. 5614
Series 2011A, and redemption rights for the Bonds in the manner provided hereafter so long as
(a) the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds does not exceed $10,500,000, (b) the final
maturity date for the Bonds is no later than December 1, 2017, (c) the Bonds are sold (in the
aggregate) at a price not less than 95% and not greater than 110%, (d) the Bonds are sold for a
price that results in a minimum net present value debt service savings over the Refunded
Bonds of 5.00%, and (e) the true interest cost for the Bonds (in the aggregate) does not exceed
4.00%. The parameters set forth in this Section 11 shall apply only to the Bonds authorized
herein, and the delegation parameters set forth in Section 12 of Ordinance No. 5613 shall
apply to the proposed Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, Series 2011A. In the event that
the Designated Representative determines to combine the Bonds authorized herein and the
proposed Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, Series 2011A into one series, compliance with
the applicable set of parameters shall be reflected in the Bond Purchase Contract for the Bonds
and the Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, Series 2011A.
In determining whether or not to acquire a Bond Insurance Policy and determining the
final interest rates, aggregate principal amounts, principal maturities and redemption rights,
the Designated Representative shall take into account those factors that, in his or her
judgment, will result in the lowest true interest cost on the Bonds to their maturity, including,
but not limited to current financial market conditions and current interest rates for obligations
comparable in tenor and quality to the Bonds. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Section 11, the Designated Representative is hereby authorized to execute the Bond
Purchase Contract. The signature of one Designated Representative shall be sufficient.

Bonds shall be rescinded, and the Bonds shall not be issued nor their sale approved unless such
Bonds shall have been re-authorized by ordinance of the Council. The ordinance re-authorizing

Article 3. Creation and Operation of Escrow Fund
Section 3.1. Escrow Fund.
The Escrow Agent has created on its books a special trust fund and irrevocable escrow
account to be known as the Refunding Account (the "Escrow Fund"). The Escrow Agent hereby
agrees that upon receipt thereof it will deposit to the credit of the Escrow Fund the funds and the
Escrowed Securities described in Exhibit D attached hereto. Such deposit, all proceeds
therefrom, and all cash balances from time to time on deposit therein (a) shall be the property of
the Escrow Fund, (b) shall be applied only in strict conformity with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, and (c) are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Refunded Bonds as set forth in Ordinance No. 4922 adopted by the City Council
of the City on October 22, 2001 (the "2001 Bond Ordinance"), which payment shall be made by
timely transfers of such amounts at such times as are provided for in Section 3.2 hereof. When

The Escrow Agent is hereby irrevocably instructed to transfer to the Paying Agent from
the cash balances from time to time on deposit in the Escrow Fund, the amounts required to pay
the principal of the Refunded Bonds at their respective redemption dates and interest thereon to

Section 3.3. Sufficiency of Escrow Fund.
The City represents that, based upon the information provided in the Verification Report,
the successive receipts of the principal of and interest on the Escrowed Securities will assure that
A-3 07/19/11
ORDINANCE NO. 5614
the cash balance on deposit from time to time in the Escrow Fund will be at all times sufficient to
provide moneys for transfer to the Paying Agent at the times and in the amounts required to pay
the interest on the Refunded Bonds as such interest comes due and the principal of the Refunded
Bonds as the Refunded Bonds are paid on an optional redemption date prior to maturity, all as
more fully set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto and as required for the legal defeasance of the
Refunded Bonds under the terms of the 2001 Bond Ordinance. If, for any reason, at any time, the
cash balances on deposit or scheduled to be on deposit in the Escrow Fund shall be insufficient to
transfer the amounts required by the Paying Agent to make the payments set forth in Section 3.2.
hereof, the City shall timely deposit in the Escrow Fund, from any funds that are lawfully
available therefor, additional funds in the amounts required to make such payments. Notice of
any such insufficiency shall be given promptly as hereinafter provided, but the Escrow Agent
shall not in any manner be responsible for any insufficiency of funds in the Escrow Fund or the
City's failure to make additional deposits thereto.

The Escrow Agent or its affiliate, shall hold at all times the Escrow Fund, the Escrowed
Securities and all other assets of the Escrow Fund, wholly segregated from all other funds and
securities on deposit with the Escrow Agent; it shall never allow the Escrowed Securities or any
other assets of the Escrow Fund to be commingled with any other funds or securities of the
Escrow Agent; and it shall hold and dispose of the assets of the Escrow Fund only as set forth
herein. The Escrowed Securities and other assets of the Escrow Fund shall always be maintained
by the Escrow Agent as trust funds for the benefit of the owners of the Refunded Bonds; and a
special account thereof shall at all times be maintained on the books of the Escrow Agent. The
owners of the Refunded Bonds shall be entitled to the same preferred claim and first lien upon
the Escrowed Securities, the proceeds thereof, and all other assets of the Escrow Fund to which
they are entitled as owners of the Refunded Bonds as set forth in the 2001 Bond Ordinance. The
amounts received by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement shall not be considered as a
banking deposit by the City, and the Escrow Agent shall have no right to title with respect thereto
except as a trustee and Escrow Agent under the terms of this Agreement. The amounts received
by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement shall not be subject to warrants, drafts or checks
drawn by the City or, except to the extent expressly herein provided, by the Paying Agent.

the cash balances from time to time on deposit in the Escrow Fund. Notwithstanding any
provision contained herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall have no liability whatsoever
for the insufficiency of funds from time to time in the Escrow Fund or any failure of the obligors
of the Escrowed Securities to make timely payment thereon, except for the obligation to notify
the City promptly of any such occurrence.
The recitals herein and in the proceedings authorizing the Refunding Bonds shall be taken
as the statements of the City and shall not be considered as made by, or imposing any obligation

afforded thereby or hereby, and the Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability or responsibility in
respect to any of such matters.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Escrow Agent shall never be required to
use or advance its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder.
A-6 07/19/11
ORDINANCE NO. 5614
The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or neglected to be taken by it in
good faith in any exercise of reasonable care and believed by it to be within the discretion or
power conferred upon it by this Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible for the
consequences of any error of judgment; and the Escrow Agent shall not be answerable except for
its own neglect or willful misconduct, nor for any loss unless the same shall have been through
its negligence or bad faith.
Unless it is specifically otherwise provided herein, the Escrow Agent has no duty to
determine or inquire into the happening or occurrence of any event or contingency or the
performance or failure of performance of the City with respect to arrangements or contracts with
others, with the Escrow Agent's sole duty hereunder being to safeguard the Escrow Fund, to
dispose of and deliver the same in accordance with this Agreement. If, however, the Escrow
Agent is called upon by the terms of this Agreement to determine the occurrence of any event or
contingency, the Escrow Agent shall be obligated, in making such determination, only to exercise
reasonable care and diligence, and in event of error in making such determination the Escrow
Agent shall be liable only for its own willful misconduct or its negligence. In determining the
occurrence of any such event or contingency the Escrow Agent may request from the City or any

other capacity.

converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or otherwise

association or other entity resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or
other transfer to which it is a party, ipso facto, shall be and become successor escrow agent
hereunder, vested with all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of
any instrument or any further act on the part of the parties hereto, notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary.

been appointed by the City within 60 days, a successor may be appointed by the owners of a
majority in principal amount of the Refunded Bonds then outstanding by an instrument or
instruments in writing filed with the City, signed by such owners or by their duly authorized
attorneys-in-fact. If, in a proper case, no appointment of a successor Escrow Agent shall be made
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this section within three months after a vacancy shall
have occurred, the owner of any Refunded Bond may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor Escrow Agent. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if
any, as it may deem proper, prescribe and appoint a successor Escrow Agent.
Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a corporation organized or doing business under the
laws of the United States or the State of Washington, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and
subject to the supervision or examination by federal or state authority.

Escrow Agent an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and the Escrow Agent shall
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Escrow Agent, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, all the rights, powers and trusts of the Escrow Agent hereunder. Upon
the request of any such successor Escrow Agent, the City shall execute any and all instruments in
writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Escrow Agent all
such rights, powers and duties.
The obligations assumed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement may be
transferred by the Escrow Agent to a successor Escrow Agent if (a) the requirements of this
Section 8.4 and the 2001 Bond Ordinance are satisfied; (b) the successor Escrow Agent has
assumed all the obligations of the Escrow Agent under this Agreement; and (c) all of the
Escrowed Securities and money held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement have been
