towns. The income tax funds are distributed from tax collections from two years prior to the

Development Fees
These fees are placed into restricted funds with revenues paid by developers at the time of new
residential and commercial construction permits. The decrease in permit activity over the same
time period as last year is related to the development fee study that implemented new fees as of
August 1, 2014. The study was presented to the public at a Public Hearing in February, 2014 and
resulted in the elimination of several categories of fees and changes in the remaining categories.
During the first nine months of this fiscal year, there have been thirty five (35) permit
applications including development fees.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Public Art Committee of the Fountain Hills Cultural & Civic Association would like
to propose the acquisition of a bronze sculpture entitled “Wedding Vase” by artist Doug Hyde.
This piece is being donated by Jean and Rolland Lorenz. The piece is about three feet tall and
will need a base.
The gallery price is $15,000, as is the insured price. Acquisition of this work has been
approved by the Public Art Committee and by the Board of the Fountain Hills Cultural & Civic
Association.
The suggested location for the work is in Fountain Park near “Return to Puye” in the grass area
behind Euro Pizza.
A Photo has been sent to you in a separate email.
Very Truly Yours,
Sandi Thompson

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF
THE TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA, AS FOLLOWS:
1. MPC's Proposal Accepted. The Town hereby requests the MPC to redeem and
refund the Bonds Being Refunded described in this Resolution, and the Town hereby approves
and accepts the MPC's proposal to redeem and refund the Bonds Being Refunded pursuant to the
Agreement.
KMM:kmm 2369368.3 4/30/2015

2. Approval and Terms of the Agreement. The terms and provisions contained in
the Agreement, including the redemption and refunding of the Bonds Being Refunded by the
Town in consideration of the payments to be made by the Town pursuant thereto, are hereby
approved; and the Mayor and the Clerk of the Town are hereby authorized to execute and attest,
respectively, the Agreement and deliver the same to the MPC.
3. Pledge of Excise Taxes. Pursuant to the Agreement and the Trust Indenture, the
Town shall pledge its unrestricted fines and forfeitures, license and permit fees, transaction
privilege taxes, other transaction privilege, excise and business taxes, franchise fees and taxes,
lease and rental payments and recreation and community program fees which the Town now or
in the future imposes and collects, and all State shared sales taxes and all State shared income
taxes collected and allocated or apportioned, now or hereafter, to the Town by the State of
Arizona or any political subdivision thereof, or by any other governmental unit or agency and
which are not required by State of Arizona law, rule or regulation to be expended for other
purposes, such as motor vehicle fuel tax, (the "Excise Taxes") to the amounts to come due under
the Agreement and the Trust Indenture. The Town's obligation to make the payments under the
Agreement or the Trust Indenture does not constitute an obligation of the Town or the State of
Arizona, or any of its political subdivisions, for which the Town or the State of Arizona, or any
of its political subdivisions, is obligated to levy or pledge any form of ad valorem property
taxation nor does the obligation to make any payments under the Agreement or the Trust
Indenture constitute an indebtedness of the Town or of the State of Arizona or any of its political
subdivisions within the meaning of the Constitution of the State of Arizona or otherwise. The
pledge of Excise Taxes is on a parity with the existing pledges of Excise Taxes as described in
the Trust Indenture (the "Existing Parity Bonds").
4. Continuation of Excise Taxes; Rate Covenant. Pursuant to the Agreement, the
Town will covenant and agree that the Excise Taxes which it presently imposes will be retained
and maintained so that the amount of Excise Taxes, all within and for the preceding fiscal year,
shall be equal to at least two and one-half (2.5) times the total of principal and interest payable
with respect to the Bonds and Existing Parity Bonds and any additional parity obligations issued
in accordance with the Trust Indenture, to the extent outstanding in any current fiscal year. The
Town further covenants and agrees that if such receipts for any such preceding fiscal year are not
equal to two and one-half (2.5) times such principal and interest requirements of any current
fiscal year, or if at any time it appears that the current receipts will not be sufficient to meet such
payment requirements, it will, subject to any limitations imposed by law, use its best efforts to
either impose additional Excise Taxes, or to increase the rates of such taxes currently imposed,
so that (i) the current fiscal year's receipts will be sufficient to meet all such current requirements
and (ii) it can be reasonably calculated that the current fiscal year's receipts will be sufficient to
meet the succeeding fiscal year's principal and interest requirements.
5. Town Council Dedication, Commitment or Assignment of Excise Taxes
Subordinate to Pledge. Notwithstanding any financial policy, budget implementation policy or
budget adopted by the Town Council or any other Town Council action, the Mayor and Council
hereby acknowledge that the dedication, commitment or assignment of Excise Taxes to a certain
fund or funds by the Mayor and Council is subject to and in all respects subordinate to any
pledge of Excise Taxes (such as the pledge set forth in Section 3 of this Resolution) now in
existence of hereafter made.

with the Agreement. The Mayor and Council hereby approve and consent to the issuance and
sale by the MPC of the Bonds in accordance with the terms of this Resolution and the documents
approved herein and as the MPC and Town's Finance Director determine to be in the best interest
of the MPC and the Town.
7. Approval of the Bond Documents. The forms, terms and provisions of the Bond
Documents (as they pertain to the Town) in substantially the form of such Bond Documents
presented at this meeting are hereby approved, with such final provisions, insertions, deletions
and changes as shall be approved by Mayor, the execution of each such document being
conclusive evidence of such approval, and the Mayor and the Clerk are hereby authorized and
directed to execute and deliver, where applicable, or approve the Bond Documents and to take all
action to carry out and comply with the terms of such Bond Documents. If the Bonds are sold in
more than one series, the Town is authorized to revise the Bond Documents as necessary to
reflect the sale of more than one series, including changing the series designation of the Bonds.
8. Execution of Documents. The Mayor of the Town, the Town Clerk and the
Town's Finance Director are each hereby authorized and directed to execute and attest, as
applicable, any and all documents and to take any and all actions that may be necessary or
desirable in consummating the transactions contemplated in this Resolution and the Bond
Documents (as they pertain to the Town). Any document specifically approved in this
Resolution shall be in substantially the form presented to the Council, with such additions,
deletions and modifications as shall be approved by those persons approving, executing and
delivery the same on behalf of the Town.
9. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Town hereby designates the Bonds as
"qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The Town
Manager or Town's Finance Director shall certify in the closing certificates that it is reasonably
anticipated that the aggregate amount of qualified tax-exempt obligations (as defined in Section
265(b)(3)(B) of the Code) which shall be issued for or by the Town (including those issued for or
by the MPC) in the current calendar year shall not exceed $10,000,000.
10. Resolution Irrepealable. After any of the Bonds are delivered by the Trustee to
the purchaser thereof upon receipt of payment therefor, this Resolution shall be and remain
irrepealable until the Bonds and the interest and premium, if any, thereon shall have been fully
paid, cancelled and discharged.
11. Ratification of Actions. All actions of the officers and agents of the Town which
conform to the purposes and intent of this Resolution and which further the issuance and sale of
the Bonds as contemplated by this Resolution whether heretofore or hereafter taken are hereby
ratified, confirmed and approved. The proper officers and agents of the Town are hereby
authorized and directed to do all such acts and things and to execute and deliver all such
documents on behalf of the Town as may be necessary to carry out the terms and intent of this
Resolution.

12. Severability. If any section, paragraph, clause or phrase of this Resolution shall
for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such
section, paragraph, clause or phrase shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this
Resolution.
13. Waiver. All orders, resolutions and ordinances or parts thereof inconsistent
herewith are hereby waived to the extent only of such inconsistency. This waiver shall not be
construed as reviving any order, resolution or ordinance or any part thereof.

during the term of this Agreement.

on behalf of the MPC, at least one business day in advance of the date on which the related
payment is to be made to the owners of Bonds. It is further declared to be the intention of the

Agent obligations pursuant to the Trust Indenture, and that, when the Bonds, the Trustee's, Bond
Registrar's and Paying Agent's fees and expenses, and all other amounts due pursuant to Sections

to make installment payments pursuant to this Agreement.

manner and for the purposes expressed in the Indenture.
Section 2.4 Additional Installment Payments.If the installment payments set forth
in Section 2.2 are insufficient to meet the MPC's requirements pursuant to the Trust Indenture,
KMM:kmm 2367215.2 4/30/2015 4
then, upon notice from either the MPC or the Trustee, the Town shall pay pursuant hereto such
other amounts as may be required from time to time to cure any such deficiency.
Section 2.5 Other Costs and Expenses.The Town shall pay (i) all fees, expenses
(including closing fees and expenses) and indemnities of the Trustee, Bond Registrar and Paying
Agent pursuant to the Trust Indenture to the extent, if any, that such fees, expenses and

the MPC approved by the Town and not otherwise required to be paid by the Town pursuant to
the terms hereof, (iii) losses on investments made by the Trustee at the direction of the Town

requirements and to pay the Trustee's, Bond Registrar's and Paying Agent's fees and expenses in
accordance with the Trust Indenture, (iv) fees for maintaining the MPC's corporate existence, and
(v) all other expenses of the MPC incurred at the written request of the Town or the Trustee in

to the Town on the next succeeding installment payment or payments due or coming due
pursuant hereto.
Section 2.7 Sources for Installment Payments.Town shall remit to Trustee from
Excise Taxes all amounts due under this Agreement in the amounts and at the times and for the
purposes as required herein. Town's obligation to make payments of any amounts due under this
Agreement, including amounts due after default or termination hereof, is limited to payment from
Excise Taxes and shall in no circumstances constitute a general obligation of, or a pledge of the
full faith and credit of, Town, the State of Arizona, or any of its political subdivisions, or require
the levy of, or be payable from the proceeds of, any ad valorem taxes.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, UTILITIES AND OTHER CHARGES

Section 3.2. It shall not be a breach of this Section 3.2 if the Town fails to pay any such tax,
charge or assessment during any period or periods in which the Town, or the MPC, in good faith,
shall be contesting the amount or validity of such tax, charge or assessment. The MPC will, if
requested by the Town, contest the amount or validity of any such tax, charge or assessment, and
the Town will pay the MPC's costs and expenses in connection therewith.

ARTICLE IV
SOURCES OF PAYMENTS AND PLEDGE
Section 4.1 Limited Sources for Installment Payments.It is understood and agreed
by and between the MPC and the Town that all payments made in accordance herewith shall be
made only from Excise Taxes, as defined in Section 4.8 below, subject to the provisions of
Section 4.2 hereof.
Section 4.2 Use of Other Funds at Option of the Town.The Town may, at the
Town's sole option, make such payments from its other funds as may be permitted by law and as
the Town shall determine from time to time, but the MPC acknowledges that it has no claim
hereunder to such other funds. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no part of the
installment payments payable pursuant hereto shall be payable out of any ad valorem taxes
imposed by the Town or from bonds or other obligations, the payment of which is secured by a
pledge of the Town's general taxing authority, unless (i) the same shall have been duly budgeted
by the Town according to law, (ii) such payment or payments shall be within the budget
KMM:kmm 2367215.2 4/30/2015 6
limitations set forth in the statutes of the State of Arizona (the "State"),and (iii) any such bonded
indebtedness or other obligation is within the debt limitations of the Constitution of the State.
Section 4.3 Pledge of Revenues and Excise Taxes.The Town does hereby pledge for
the payment of the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement its Excise Taxes, as defined in
Section 4.8 below. The Town intends that this pledge shall be a first lien pledge upon such
amounts of said Excise Taxes, as will be sufficient to make the payments pursuant hereto. The
Town agrees and covenants to make said payments from such Excise Taxes, except to the extent
that it chooses to make the payments from other sources as permitted by Section 4.2 hereof.Said
pledge of, and said lien on, the Excise Taxes is hereby irrevocably made and created for the
prompt and punctual payment of the Payments according to the terms hereof, and to create and
maintain the funds as hereinafter specified in this Agreement or as may be specified in the Trust
Indenture. All of the Payments are coequal as to the pledge of and lien on the Excise Taxes
pledged for the payment thereof and share ratably, without preference, priority or distinction, as
to the source or method of payment from Excise Taxes or security therefor. The rights of the
Owners of the Bonds to payment from Excise Taxes are on a parity with the rights to payment
from such Excise Taxes of the holders of any obligations hereafter issued on a parity therewith
pursuant to the Trust Indenture and this Agreement.
Section 4.4 Town to Maintain Excise Taxes Coverage of Two and One-Half Times
Debt Service.The Town covenants and agrees that the Excise Taxes which it presently imposes
will be retained and maintained so that the amount of Excise Taxes, all within and for the
preceding Fiscal Year, shall be equal to at least two and one-half (2.5) times the total of principal
and interest payable with respect to the MPC's Parity Bonds and any additional parity obligations
issued in accordance with this Agreement, to the extent outstanding in any such current Fiscal
Year. The Town further covenants and agrees that if such receipts for any such preceding Fiscal
Year shall not equal two and one-half (2.5) times such principal and interest requirements of any
current Fiscal Year, or if at any time it appears that the current receipts will not be sufficient to
meet such payment requirements, it will, subject to any limitations imposed by law, use its best
efforts to either impose additional Excise Taxes, or to increase the rates of such taxes currently
imposed, so that (i) the current Fiscal Year's receipts will be sufficient to meet all such current
requirements and (ii) it can be reasonably calculated that the current Fiscal Year's receipts will be
sufficient to meet the succeeding Fiscal Year's principal and interest requirements.
Section 4.5 Surplus and Deficiency of Excise Taxes. Subject to the right with respect
to any other obligations issued on a parity herewith pursuant to the Trust Indenture and this
Agreement with respect to the Excise Taxes, all Excise Taxes in excess of amounts, if any,
required to be deposited with or held by Trustee for payments due under this Agreement, the
Trust Indenture shall constitute surplus revenues and may be used by Town for any lawful
purpose for the benefit of Town, including the payment of junior lien obligations to which such
Excise Taxes may from time to time be pledged. If at any time the moneys in the funds and
accounts held for payment of amounts due under this Agreement or the Trust Indenture are not
sufficient to make the deposits and transfers required, any such deficiency shall be made up from
the first moneys thereafter received and available for such transfers under the terms of this
Agreement and, with respect to payment from Excise Taxes, pro rata, as applicable, with
amounts due with respect to obligations on a parity herewith with respect to the Excise Taxes,
and the transfer of any such sum or sums to said fund or accounts as may be necessary to make
KMM:kmm 2367215.2 4/30/2015 7
up any such deficiency shall be in addition to the then-current transfers required to be made
pursuant hereto.
The Town shall impose all necessary Excise Taxes, shall collect and receive the proceeds
of sufficient Excise Taxes, and pay such proceeds to Trustee in such amounts and at such times
as will be fully sufficient, in conjunction with any other legally available moneys (but not
proceeds of ad valorem taxes, except in compliance with Section 4.2) which Town may from
time to time lawfully choose to pay to Trustee, to assure the punctual performance of all duties
requiring the payment or expenditure of money by Town under the terms of this Agreement.
Such payments shall be made on the dates specified herein during the term of this Agreement and
shall be sufficient to meet all requirements for the Obligations.
Section 4.6 Enforcement by Trustee.In the event of any default by the Town
hereunder, the remedies of the MPC with respect to the enforcement of the lien and pledge set
forth in this Article IV and with respect to the covenants and agreements contained in Section 4.4
above shall be as provided in Articles X and XII of this Agreement. The Trustee, on behalf of the
holders of the Bonds, may enforce this lien and pledge and the aforesaid covenants and
agreements in place of the MPC in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Trust
Indenture.
Section 4.7 Additional Parity Bonds.The Town, for itself, its successors and assigns,
covenants and agrees with the holders of the Bonds that, so long as any Bonds remain
outstanding and the principal and interest thereon shall be unpaid or unprovided for, it will not
further encumber the Excise Taxes pledged hereunder on a basis equal to the pledge hereunder
unless the Excise Taxes collected in the preceding Fiscal Year shall have amounted to at least
two and one-half (2.5) times the combined interest and principal requirement for the succeeding
twelve (12) month period for all Parity Bonds then outstanding together with any parity bonds or
parity obligations then proposed to be issued and secured by a pledge of the Excise Taxes.
Subject to the foregoing, and to other terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Trust
Indenture, the Town shall have the right to incur future obligations payable from and secured by
the Excise Taxes on a parity with the payments due pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 4.8 Definition of Excise Taxes. "Excise Taxes" shall mean all unrestricted
fines and forfeitures, license and permit fees, transaction privilege taxes, other transaction
privilege, excise and business taxes, franchise fees and taxes, lease and rental payments and
recreation and community program fees which the Town now or in the future imposes and
collects, and all State shared sales taxes and all State shared income taxes collected and allocated
or apportioned, now or hereafter, to the Town by the State of Arizona or any political subdivision
thereof, or by any other governmental unit or agency and which are not required by State of
Arizona law, rule or regulation to be expended for other purposes, such as motor vehicle fuel tax.
ARTICLE V
MAINTENANCE AND ALTERATIONS
Section 5.1 Town to Maintain the Prior Project.During the term of this Agreement
and until all payments due hereunder are completed, all maintenance of and repairs to the Prior
Project shall be the responsibility of the Town, and the Town covenants and agrees that it will
KMM:kmm 2367215.2 4/30/2015 8
continue to maintain the Prior Project or cause the same to be maintained in as good of a
condition as when the Town takes possession, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
Section 5.2 Alterations by the Town. The Town shall have the right during the term
of this Agreement to make any alterations or to attach fixtures to the Prior Project if the same are
deemed by the Town to be necessary or beneficial for its use; provided, however, that any such
alterations shall maintain the integrity of the Prior Project and shall not decrease the value
thereof.
ARTICLE VI
INSURANCE
Section 6.1 General Liability Insurance.The Town will purchase and maintain at all
times a commercial general liability insurance policy or cause a self-insurance program to be
established and maintained, with coverage and limits appropriate for the nature and use of the
Prior Project and the activities conducted in connection with the Prior Project,which shall
include coverage for bodily injury and property damage, occurring on, in, around or by use of the
Prior Project. The Town's commercial general liability policy or self-insurance program,as the
case may be, shall afford protection to the MPC, its directors, officers, agents and employees by
naming the MPC as an additional insured. The Town shall furnish evidence of such insurance to
the Trustee on or prior to the issuance of the Bonds and promptly upon the revision, modification
or renewal of any such insurance.
Section 6.2 Additional Insurance.The Town's obligations pursuant to this Article
shall not affect its right to carry additional insurance solely for its own account. Any insurance
required by this Article VI may be carried in conjunction with any other insurance carried by the
Town, and may be provided by self-insurance by the Town. Any claims arising pursuant to the
policies of insurance described by this Article shall be adjusted by and at the cost of the Town,
provided that the proceeds from such insurance shall be applied pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.
ARTICLE VII

Section 7.1 Indemnity as to Use of the Prior Project.The Town covenants and
agrees, at its expense, and to the extent permitted by law, to pay and to indemnify and save the
MPC harmless against and from any and all claims by or on behalf of any person, firm,
corporation or governmental authority arising from the occupation, use, or possession of the Prior
Project, including any liability for any violation of conditions, restrictions, laws, ordinances or
regulations affecting the Prior Project or the occupancy or use thereof.
Section 7.2 General Indemnification.The MPC, its directors, officers, agents and
employees shall not be liable to the Town or to any other person whomsoever or entity

misconduct of the MPC, its directors, officers, agents, or employees. To the extent permitted by
law, the Town shall indemnify and hold the MPC, its directors, officers, agents and employees
KMM:kmm 2367215.2 4/30/2015 9
harmless from and defend them, collectively and individually, against any and all claims, losses
or judgments for death of, or injury to, any person, or for damage to any property whatsoever

misconduct of the MPC, its directors, officers, agents or employees. In the event any action or
proceeding is brought against the MPC or any of the persons referred to in this Section by reason
of any such claim, the Town, upon notice from the MPC, shall resist or defend such action or
proceeding.

aforementioned acts, agreements or documents; and (iv) malfeasance or nonfeasance in office of
any officer, director, agent or employee of the MPC or the Trustee not otherwise included within
any of the foregoing; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not extend to any actions of
the MPC or the Trustee deliberately taken by it over the objections of the Town. The MPC or the
Trustee, as applicable, shall give notice to the Town of any event or condition which requires
indemnification by the Town hereunder, or any allegation of such event or condition, promptly

is within its power and authority and would result in interest income on the Bonds to become
subject to inclusion in gross income for federal income tax purposes under either laws existing on

laws later adopted.
MPC and Town agree that it will comply with such requirement(s) and will take

profits relating to this Agreement; filing forms, statements and supporting documents as may be

moneys relating to this Agreement; and limiting the use of the proceeds of this Agreement and
propert y financed thereby.

Town agrees to be the ultimate obligor for the payment of arbitrage rebate should the amounts
held in the Rebate Fund be insufficient to make all payments required by Section 148(f)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any succeeding sections. Town shall cause to be
prepared each completed Form 8038-T as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture and

suitability for use by Town after completion of construction. All such risks shall be borne by

obligation to the Depository's participants or the persons for whom they act as nominees with
respect to the Bonds regarding accuracy of any records maintained by the Depository or the
Depository's participants, the payments by the Depository or the Depository's participants of any

the Depository, and upon 30 days'notice to the Depository, may remove or replace the
Depository. The Trustee agrees to remove or replace the Depository at any time at the request of
the MPC, and the MPC shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting such removal or
replacement. The Depository may determine not to continue to act as Depository for the Bonds
upon 30 days written notice to the Trustee. The Owners have no right to either a Book-Entry-
Only System or a Depository for the Bonds.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Indenture or the Bonds, so long
as the Bonds are in the Book-Entry-Only System and the Depository or its nominee is the Owner
of the Bonds:
(a)Presentation. Presentation of Bonds to the Trustee at redemption or at
maturity shall be deemed made to the Trustee when the right to exercise ownership rights in the
Bonds through the Depository or the Depository's participants is transferred by the Depository on
its books.
(b)Fractionalized Representation. The Depository may present notices,
approvals, waivers, votes or other communications required or permitted to be made by Owners
under this Trust Indenture on a fractionalized basis on behalf of some or all of those persons
entitled to exercise ownership rights in the Bonds through the Depository or its participants.

nominee, upon (A) the resignation of the Depository from its functions as Depository
hereunder or (B) termination by the MPC of use of the Depository.
If the use of the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued, then after the Trustee
has made provision for notification of the beneficial owners of their book entry interests in the
Bonds by appropriate notice to the then Depository, the MPC and the Trustee shall permit
withdrawal of the Bonds from the Depository, and authenticate and deliver Bond certificates in
fully registered form and in denominations authorized by this Article to the assignees of the
Depository or its nominee. Such withdrawal, authentication and delivery shall be at the cost and
expense (including costs of printing or otherwise preparing, and delivering, such replacement
Bond certificates) of the MPC.

to the Bonds held in a Book-Entry-Only System, which arrangements are hereby authorized
subject to the approval of the MPC, principal of, premium, if any, and interest shall be payable
on any Bond as provided in this Agreement.
Section 2.8.Transfer and Exchange. So long as the Book-Entry-Only System
is in effect the Bonds will be issued as a single Bond for each maturity date of each series,
registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. If the Book-Entry-Only System is no longer in
effect, the following will apply:
(a)Transfer of Bonds. Any maturity of a Bond may be transferred only in
whole and only to a “qualified investor,” which means a qualified institutional buyer, as such
term is defined in Rule 144A, of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or an accredited investor
(excluding natural persons) as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the United States
Securities Exchange Commission, who executes a Certificate of Qualified Investor in the form
attached to the form of Bond, attached as Exhibit 1 hereto, and who agrees to comply with all
applicable federal and state securities laws. Any Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be
transferred upon the books required to be kept pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.12 hereof
by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon
surrender of such Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of
transfer in a form approved by the Trustee, duly executed. Whenever any Bond or Bonds shall
be surrendered for transfer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver a new Bond or Bonds in fully
registered form of the same series, maturity and interest rate and for a like aggregate principal
amount.
(b)Exchange of Bonds. Bonds may be exchanged at the Designated Office
of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of Authorized Denominations of
the same series, maturity and interest rate. In connection with any such exchange or transfer of
Bonds, the Owner requesting such exchange or transfer shall, as a condition precedent to the
exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer, remit to the Trustee an amount
sufficient to pay any tax, or other governmental charge required to be paid, other than one
imposed by the MPC (for which the MPC will reimburse the Trustee), or any fee or expense of
the Trustee or the MPC with respect to such exchange or transfer.

Section 2.9.Bonds Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen. If any Bond shall
become mutilated, the Trustee, at the expense of the Owner of said Bond, shall execute and
deliver a new Bond of like series, tenor, maturity and amount in exchange and substitution for
the Bond so mutilated, but only upon surrender to the Trustee of the Bond so mutilated. Any
mutilated Bond so surrendered to the Trustee shall be cancelled by it and redelivered to, or upon
the order of, the Bond Owner. If any Bond shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such
loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the Trustee, and, if such evidence is satisfactory to
the Trustee and, if an indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee shall be given, the Trustee, at the
expense of the Bond Owner, shall execute and deliver a new Bond of like tenor, maturity and
amount and numbered as the Trustee shall determine in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond
so lost, destroyed or stolen. The Trustee may require payment of an appropriate fee for each new
Bond delivered under this Section 2.9 and of the expenses which may be incurred by the Trustee
in carrying out the duties under this Section 2.9. Any Bond issued under the provisions of this
Section 2.9 in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall be equally and
proportionately entitled to the benefits of this Trust Indenture with all other Bonds secured by
this Agreement. The Trustee shall not be required to treat both the original Bond and any
replacement Bond as being Outstanding for the purpose of determining the principal amount of
Bonds which may be executed and delivered hereunder or for the purpose of determining any
percentage of Bonds Outstanding hereunder, but both the original and replacement Bond shall be
treated as one and the same. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.9, in lieu of
delivering a new Bond for a Bond which has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen, and which
has matured, the Trustee may make payment with respect to such Bond upon receipt of the
aforementioned indemnity.
Section 2.10.Payment.
A.Book-Entry-Only System. In the event the Bonds are issued under the
Book-Entry-Only System and so long as the Book-Entry-Only System is in effect,interest
payments and principal payments that are part of periodic principal and interest payments shall

established by DTC on each Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date (or in accordance
with then existing arrangements between the MPC and DTC).

$1,000,000 or more in principal amount of Bonds shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately

Trustee at least twenty (20) days before the Interest Payment Date specifying the account

otherwise requested in a subsequent written notice.
(d)Any interest on an y Bond which is payable on, but is not punctually paid
or duly provided for on, any Interest Payment Date (herein referred to as "Defaulted Interest")
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Owner on the relevant Record Date solely by virtue of
such Owner having been such Owner. Such Defaulted Interest shall thereupon be paid, together
with interest thereon at the same rate per annum as such Defaulted Interest, by the Trustee to the
persons in whose names such Bonds are registered at the close of business on a special record
date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such portion of Defaulted In terest as may
then be paid from the sources herein provided. When the Trustee has funds available to pay the
Defaulted Interest and interest thereon, the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the
payment of such Defaulted Interest and interest thereon which shall be not more than fifteen (15)
nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment by the Trustee. The Trustee
shall promptly cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and interest
thereon and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each
Owner of a Bond at his address as it appears in the Bond Register not less than ten (10) days
prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and interest thereon and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such
Defaulted Interest and interest thereon shall be paid to the persons in whose names the Bonds are
registered on such Special Record Date.
Section 2.11.Execution of Documents and Proof of Ownership. Any
request, direction, consent, revocation of consent, or other instrument in writing required or
permitted by this Agreement to be signed or executed by Bond Owners may be in any number of
concurrent instruments of similar tenor, and may be signed or executed by such Owners in
person or by their attorneys or agents appointed by an instrument in writing for that purpose, or
by any bank, trust company or other depository for such Bonds. Proof of the execution of any
such instrument, or of any instrument appointing any such attorney or agent, and of the
ownership of Bonds shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Indenture (except as
otherwise herein provided), if made in the following manner:
(a)The fact and date of the execution by any Owner or his attorney or agent
of any such instrument and of any instrument appointing any such attorney or agent, may be
proved by a certificate, which need not be acknowledged or verified, of an officer of any bank or
trust company located within the United States of America, or of any notary public, or other
officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be recorded in such jurisdictions, that the
TS2:jh2 2368523.1 4/27/2015
17
persons signing such instruments acknowledged before him the execution thereof. Where any
such instrument is executed by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a
partnership on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such certificate shall also
constitute sufficient proof of his authority.
(b) The fact of the ownership of Bonds by any person and the amount, the
maturity and the numbers of such Bonds and the date of his holding the same be proved on the
registration books maintained pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof.
Nothing contained in this Article II shall be construed as limiting the Trustee to
such proof, it being intended that the Trustee may accept any other evidence of the matters
herein stated which the Trustee may deem sufficient. Any request or consent of the Owner of
any Bond shall bind every future Owner of the same Bond in respect of anything done or
suffered to be done by the Trustee in pursuance of such request or consent.
Section 2.12.Bond Register. The Trustee will keep or cause to be kept, at its
Designated Office of the Trustee, sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds

upon presentation for such purpose, the Trustee shall, under such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, register or transfer or cause to be registered or transferred, on said books, Bonds
as hereinbefore provided.
Section 2.13.Special Agreement with Owners. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Trust Indenture or of any Parity Bond to the contrary,with the approval of the
MPC (exclusive of any agreements with a Depository), the Trustee may enter into an agreement
with any Owner providing for making all payments to that Owner of principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on that Parity Bond or any part thereof (other than an y payment of the entire
unpaid principal amount thereof) at a place and in a manner other than as provided in this Trust
Indenture and in the Parity Bond, without presentation or surrender of the Parity Bond, upon any
conditions which shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the MPC; provided, that payment in any
event shall be made to the Person in whose name a Parit y Bond shall be registered on the Bond
Register, with respect to payment of principal and premium, on the date such principal and
premium is due, and, with respect to the payment of interest, as of the applicable Record Date or
special record date, as the case may be.
Upon request, the Trustee will furnish a cop y of each of those agreements,
certified to be correct by an officer of the Paying Agent, to the MPC. Any payment of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on any Parit y Bond pursuant to such an agreement shall
constitute payment thereof pursuant to, and for all purposes of, this Trust Indenture.

earnings and profits from the investment of the Bonds, the Trustee shall upon direction from the

service on the Bonds and any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, amounts credited
to the Rebate Fund shall be free and clear of any lien hereunder. Moneys and investments in the
Rebate Fund are not included within the trust estate executed in the granting clauses hereof and
shall be invested pursuant to the procedures and in the manner provided for investment of
moneys in the Funds.
Unless otherwise provided in Subsequent Rebate Instructions (defined below),
promptly after the end of every fifth Bond Year and promptly after the payment in full of all
Outstanding Bonds, the MPC, at the direction of the Town, shall engage, and furnish information
to, the Rebate Consultant to calculate the Rebate Amount as of the end of every fifth Bond Year
or the date of such payment in full and shall provide to the Trustee copies of such calculations
along with any applicable Rebate Amount. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at
the request of the Trustee, the Rebate Consultant shall calculate the Rebate Amount as of the
date requested by the Trustee and provide such calculation to the Trustee on or before the date so
requested. Whenever there is a rebate calculation and the Rebate Consultant provides the
calculation to the Trustee, the Trustee shall then notify the Authorized Representative in writing
of the amount then on deposit in the applicable account in the Rebate Fund.
If the Rebate Consultant fails to make the calculation of Rebate Amount by the
30th day after the end of every fifth Bond Year or the date of payment in full of the Bonds, the
Trustee shall retain an independent certified public accounting firm or other qualified
independent person, at the expense of the MPC, to make or cause to be made such calculation
and shall provide copies of such calculations to the MPC.
The MPC is obligated to pay the Rebate Amount to the Trustee which will be
deposited by the Trustee into the Rebate Fund. If the amount then on deposit in the Rebate Fund
is in excess of the Rebate Amount as computed by the Rebate Consultant, the Trustee shall
forthwith pay that excess amount to the MPC. If the amount then on deposit in the Rebate Fund
is less than the Rebate Amount (computed by taking into account the amount or amounts, if any,
previously paid to the United States pursuant to this Section), the MPC shall, within five days
after receipt of the aforesaid notice from the Trustee, pay to the Trustee from Excise Taxes or
other funds legally available therefore from the Town, for deposit in the Rebate Fund an amount
sufficient to cause the Rebate Fund to contain an amount equal to the Rebate Amount.
If at any time the Trustee is required to retain or pay a Rebate Consultant, then the
Trustee, after delivering to the MPC a demand for payment of an amount sufficient to pay the
Rebate Consultant, the MPC shall pay or cause the Trustee to pay from the Rebate Fund such
amount as may be needed to pay the Rebate Consultant. If at any time when the Trustee is
required to withdraw money from the Rebate Fund to make a payment to the United States of
America the amount held by the Trustee in the Rebate Fund is insufficient to permit such
withdrawal and payment, then the Trustee, after delivering a demand for such deficiency to the
MPC and upon receipt of such deficient funds from the MPC, shall deposit such amount to the
Rebate Fund in such amounts as may be necessary to make the amount in the Rebate Fund, after
such transfers, equal to the amount required to be withdrawn and paid to the United States of
America.

direct the Trustee to pay) of the Rebate Amount (such Rebate Amount to be notified to the
Trustee by the MPC or the Rebate Consultant) earned from the date of the original delivery of
the Bonds to the end of such fifth Bond Year including income attributable to Rebate Amount
during the final payment period (as defined in applicable Regulations under the Code).

shall pay to the United States in accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code from the moneys
then on deposit in the Rebate Fund an amount equal to 100% of the Rebate Amount earned from
the date of the original delivery of the Bonds to the date of such payment. Any moneys
remaining in the Rebate Fund following such payment shall be paid to the Town.
The MPC and the Trustee shall comply with any written instructions relating to
this Section 5.1 furnished after the issuance of the Bonds from the MPC and accompanied by an
opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel addressed to the MPC and the Trustee to the
effect that compliance with such instructions will not adversely affect any exclusion of interest
on any of the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes (the "Subsequent Rebate
Instructions"), even if such Instructions are different from or inconsistent with this Section. The
MPC and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the calculations made pursuant to
this Section and any Subsequent Rebate Instructions and shall not be responsible for any loss or
damage resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon those
calculations.
The MPC shall obtain and keep records of the computations made pursuant to this
Section and all original source documents and other information necessary to, or from, such
computations for a period ending six (6) years after the last of the Bonds is retired, or such later
date as required by its policies and procedures.
The Trustee shall keep and make available to the MPC such records concerning

and subaccounts as it is instructed by the MPC in order to assist it in determining applicable
accounting for tax purposes and recordkeeping activities in connection therewith.

accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code.
Section 5.2.Surplus. Any surplus remaining in any of the funds created
hereunder, after redemption and payment of all Bonds, including accrued interest and redemption
premium, if any, and payment of any applicable fees, expenses or indemnities to the Trustee, or
provision for such redemption and payment having been made to the satisfaction of the Trustee,
shall be withdrawn by the Trustee and remitted to the MPC.
Section 5.3.Separate Funds and Accounts. Monies and investments
properly paid into and held in the funds and accounts established hereunder shall not be subject
to the claims of the owners of any Parity Bonds other than the Bonds and the Owners of the
Bonds shall have no claim or lien upon any monies or investments properly paid into and held in
the funds and accounts established under the proceedings for any other Parity Bonds.

investments made by the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any loss
suffered in connection with any investment of funds made by it in accordance with Section 8.2

Section 8.4.Allocation of Earnings. Any income, profit or loss on such
investments shall be deposited in or charged to the respective funds from which such investments

Section 8.6.Arbitrage Covenant. The MPC and the Town hereby covenants

for federal income tax purposes, the MPC and Town covenant with the Trustee and the Owners
from time to time to neither take nor fail to take any action, which action or failure to act is
within its power and authority and would result in interest income on the Bonds to become
subject to inclusion in gross income for federal income tax purposes under either laws existing
on the date of execution of the Bonds or such laws as they may be modified or amended or tax
laws later adopted.
The MPC and Town agree that they will comply with such requirement(s) and
will take any such action(s) as are necessary to prevent interest income on the Bonds from
becoming subject to inclusion in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Such
requirements may include but are not limited to making further specific covenants; making
truthful certifications and representations and giving necessary assurances; complying with all
representations, covenants and assurances contained in certificates or agreements to be prepared
by special counsel; to pay to the United States of America an y required amounts representing
rebates of arbitrage profits relating to the Agreement; filing forms, statements and supporting
documents as may be required under the federal tax laws; limiting the term of and yield on
investments made with moneys relating to the Agreement; and limiting the use of the proceeds of
the Agreement and property financed thereby.

be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate of the MPC; and such
certificate of the MPC shall, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or suffered by it pursuant to the provisions of
this Trust Indenture upon the faith thereof;
(e)The recitals herein and in the Bonds (except the Registrar's certificate of
authentication thereon) shall be taken as the statements of the MPC and shall not be considered

notice of any default or Event of Default hereunder, or in any other document or instrument

such default or Event of Default by the MPC, the Town, or the Owners of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding. All notices or other instructions
required by this Trust Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered pursuant to
Section 18.1 of the Agreement and, in the absence of such notice so delivered, the Trustee may
conclusively assume there is no default except as it is notified as described above.
Section 9.3.Trustee Not Accountable for Actions of MPC. The Trustee
makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Trust Indenture or of the Bonds.
The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the MPC of any of the Bonds
authenticated or delivered hereunder or of the proceeds of such Bonds.
Section 9.4.Trustee May Acquire Bonds. The Trustee and its officers and
directors may acquire and hold, or become the pledgee of, Bonds, and may otherwise deal with

the Bonds, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of
discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon. The MPC also covenants to
indemnify the Trustee for, from, and to hold it harmless against any loss, liability, expense or
advance incurred or made without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee arising out
of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Trust, including the costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the
MPC pursuant to this Section to compensate the Trustee for services and to pay or reimburse the
Trustee for expenses, disbursements, liabilities and advances shall constitute additional

of its Board of Directors; or any such Owner may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the

appointed as provided in Section 9.7 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the MPC and to

resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor
trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor in the trusts hereunder, with like effect as
if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the MPC or the
request of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the rights, powers and
trusts of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of an y such successor trustee, the MPC shall

Section 9.5 hereof. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 9.8
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible pursuant to the
provisions of Section 9.6 hereof.
Section 9.9.Merger of Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may
be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business
of the Trustee or to which all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee
may be transferred, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, provided that such successor trustee shall be eligible pursuant to
the provisions of Section 9.6 hereof.

enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating an y of the provisions of this Trust
Indenture or of an y supplemental agreement, provided, however, that copies of such proposed
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto shall be received by any rating agency then rating

Upon receipt by the Trustee of a resolution authorizing the execution of any such

certificate. Upon the filing of such certificate, the supplemental agreement shall become effective
without liability or responsibility to any Owner of any Bond, whether or not such Owner shall
have consented thereto.

basis of the effectiveness of the proposed supplemental agreement or in any other manner
acceptable to the Trustee. If the supplemental agreement will not take effect so long as an y

required and such Bonds shall not be deemed to be Outstanding for the purpose of determining
the required consents. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Owners pursuant to this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental agreement, but it shall be
sufficient if consent is given to the substance thereof. Any such consent shall be binding upon
the Owner of the Bond giving such consent and upon any subsequent Owner of such Bond and
of any Bond issued in exchange therefor (whether or not such subsequent Owner thereof has
notice thereof), unless such consent is revoked in writing by the Owner of such Bond giving such

Trustee prior to the execution by the Trustee of such supplemental agreement. If the Owners of
the required amount or number of the Bonds Outstanding shall have consented to and approved
the execution of such supplemental indenture as herein provided, no Owner of any Bond shall
have any right to object to the execution thereof, or to object to any of the terms and provisions
contained therein or the operation thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the
execution thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the Trustee or the MPC from executing the same or
from taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof.

supplemental agreement shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this
Trust Indenture for any and all purposes.

will not represent and defend the Trustee, the Trustee may defend, settle, compromise or admit
liability as it shall determine in the reasonable exercise of its discretion and in an effort to
minimize any claims for indemnity made hereunder. In the event the MPC and Town are
TS2:jh2 2368523.1 4/27/2015

or otherwise existing.

Minor Changes to 2015/16
Tentative Budget
•$6,470 increased adjustment to the Tentative Budget
due to the following:
–A requirement from the FH Fiscal Policy and Az State Budget Law
requires the General Fund to be structurally balanced and a CIP
project moved to the Special Revenue Fund due to the Fiscal Policy.
–Town Council reduced the Community Contracts in the General Fund
to Economic Development Fund which requires an accounting
adjustment because its increases another fund (the Economic
Development Fund) to $6,620 .
–Additionally, the CIP was reduced $150 of its contingency portion of
the fund by moving the Stop Sign Grant to the Special Revenue Fund
and removed from the CIP Fund in accordance with the FH Fiscal
Policy.
–This move is more of an subsequent Audit Issue than a budget issue.
