As provided in the Redevelopment Plan, pursuant to Section 18-2107(11) of the Act, the City, in its capacity as an authority under the Act, is empowered annually to certify to the Council the amount of special tax to be levied for community redevelopment purposes. In such capacity, the City shall annually certify to the Council an amount of special taxes equal to the principal of and interest on the Series 2019 Bond and the Parity Bonds due in the Fiscal Year next succeeding the date of the certification, provided that such amount so certified shall not, in combination with any other such special tax certifications, exceed 2.6 cents on each $100 of taxable valuation. The City has covenanted in Section 6.5 of this Ordinance to comply with the requirements of the Act pertaining to the annual certification to the Council of the community redevelopment tax levy amount required to satisfy the debt service requirements of the Series 2019 Bond and the Parity Bonds. The Council is required by the Act to levy and collect the taxes so certified at the same time and in the same manner as other city taxes are levied and collected. The Special Tax Revenues are hereby pledged in their entirety to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2019 Bond as in this Ordinance provided, on a parity with the Parity Bonds, and until all of the Series 2019 Bond and all interest therein have been paid (or until moneys for that purpose have been irrevocably set aside), the Special Tax Revenues, when due and as collected, shall be deposited in the Bond Fund relating to the Series 2019 Bond and the bond fund relating to any series of Parity Bonds, and shall be applied solely to the payment of the Series 2019 Bond and the Parity Bonds, as applicable, and the interest thereon as in this Ordinance provided and in the ordinances authorizing the issuance of the Parity Bonds. Such allocation and pledge are for the exclusive benefit of the holders of the Series 2019 Bond herein authorized and the Parity Bonds, and shall be irrevocable. Section 5.4. Bond Fund. The Special Tax Revenues accumulated in the Bond Fund shall be used in the following priority; provided, however, that, to the extent credits have been made in any of the accounts referred to below from the proceeds of the sale of the Series 2019 Bond or otherwise, the credits below need not be made: (a) Bond Interest Account. Credits shall be made into the Bond Interest Account so that the balance in said account on or before the date of the payment of any installment of interest on the Series 2019 Bond shall be equal to the amount due at such installment. Moneys in the Bond Interest Account shall be used for the payment of interest on the Series 2019 Bond as the same become due, and, after such payment, the account shall be restored by further deposits to the required balance. (b) Bond Principal Account. After the credits have been made pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, credits shall next be made into the Bond Principal Account so that the balance in said Account shall equal the next principal payment or payments, as the case may be, on or before the date of payment thereof on the then Outstanding Series 2019 Bond. Moneys in the Bond Principal Account shall be used for the payment of the principal of the Series 2019 Bond, as the same become due, and, after such payment, the account shall be restored by further credits to the required balance. Section 5.5. Investment of Moneys in Funds and Accounts; Moneys Held in Trust. Money in the Acquisition Fund, the Bond Interest Account and the Bond Principal Account in the Bond Fund shall, to the fullest extent practicable and reasonable, be invested and reinvested by the City, to the extent allowed by law solely in, and obligations deposited in such funds and accounts shall be, Government Obligations which shall mature or be subject to redemption at the option of the holder thereof on or before the respective dates when the moneys in such funds and accounts will be required for the purposes intended. Government Obligations purchased as an investment of moneys in any of the funds or accounts shall be deemed at all times to be a part of such fund or account, and the interest accruing thereon and any gain realized from such investment shall be credited to such fund or account, and any loss resulting from any such authorized investment shall be charged to such fund or account without liability to the City or the officials thereof; provided, however, that any investment earnings on moneys or Government Obligations held in any of the accounts in the Bond Fund shall be used to make up any deficiency in another account in the Bond Fund. The City shall sell at the best price obtainable or present for redemption any obligation so purchased whenever it shall be necessary to do so in order to provide moneys to meet any payment or transfer from a fund or account as required by this Ordinance. Until used and applied in accordance with this Ordinance, all moneys held in the Bond Fund, the Acquisition Fund, and the securities in which such moneys may from time to time be invested, shall be held in trust for the equal and ratable benefit and security of the holder of the Series 2019 Bond then Outstanding.

ARTICLE VIII DEFEASANCE; MONEYS HELD FOR PAYMENT OF DEFEASED 2019 BOND Section 8.1. Discharge of Liens and Pledges; Series 2019 Bond Deemed To Be No Longer Outstanding Hereunder. If the City shall pay or cause to be paid to the owner of the Series 2019 Bond the principal and interest to become due thereon at the time and in the manner stipulated therein, and if the City shall keep, perform and observe all and singular the covenants and promises in the Series 2019 Bond and in this Ordinance expressed as to be kept, performed and observed by it or on its part, then these presents and the estate and rights hereby granted shall cease, determine and be void, and thereupon the lien of this Ordinance shall be cancelled and discharged without further action by the City and the Finance Director may apply any balances in any fund or account established hereunder, other than moneys held for the redemption or payment of the Series 2019 Bond, to any lawful purpose of the City as the Council shall determine. It is specifically understood and agreed that the release of the lien of this Ordinance shall not affect nor cancel the provisions of this Ordinance relating to the Series 2019 Bond issued or the rights of the owner of the Series 2019 Bond or the City, which provisions shall continue in full force and effect according to their terms. The City may at any time surrender to the Registrar for cancellation by it any Series 2019 Bond previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the City may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and such Series 2019 Bond, upon surrender and cancellation, shall be deemed to be paid and retired. For the purpose of this Ordinance, any Series 2019 Bond issued hereunder shall be deemed to be fully discharged and satisfied and no longer Outstanding when: (a) a Series 2019 Bond is cancelled whether by reason of payment or redemption prior to maturity; (b) a Series 2019 Bond is surrendered to the Registrar for cancellation; ( c) a Series 2019 Bond for which the payment of the principal of and all interest accrued and to accrue through the due date of payment (regardless of whether such due date arises by reason of maturity, upon redemption or by declaration as provided herein) has been made; such payment will be deemed to have been made when there have been deposited with an appropriate fiduciary institution acting as escrow agent sufficient moneys to make such payment or Government Obligations maturing, as to principal and interest, in such amount and at such times as will insure the availability of sufficient moneys to make any such payment and all necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of the escrow agent pertaining to such Series 2019 Bond with respect to which such deposit is made have either been paid or payment provided for to the satisfaction of the escrow agent; provided, however, no deposit of cash or Government Obligations shall constitute discharge and satisfaction as to any Series 2019 Bond to be redeemed prior to its maturity unless: (i) such Series 2019 Bond has been irrevocably called or designated for redemption on the first date thereafter on which such Series 2019 Bond may be redeemed in accordance with the provisions of Article IV of this Ordinance; and (ii) proper notice of the redemption of such Series 2019 Bond has been mailed as required by Article IV hereof, or irrevocable provision shall have been made for the mailing of such notice. At such time as a Series 2019 Bond shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding hereunder, as provided in this Section, such Series 2019 Bond shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of this Ordinance except for the purpose of payment from the cash or Government Obligations deposited with and held by the escrow agent for such purpose.

Any income from such investments in excess of the requirements for principal of and interest on any Series 2019 Bond not being Outstanding under the provisions of this Section shall be paid to the City. If cash or Government Obligations shall have been deposited with the escrow agent in accordance with this Section, in trust for the purpose and sufficient and available to pay the principal of any Series 2019 Bond, together with all interest due thereon to the due date thereof or to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, all liability of the City for such payments shall terminate and be discharged, whether or not such Series 2019 Bond shall be presented for payment on the due date, whether at maturity or upon redemption or by declaration, and the escrow agent shall hold such moneys or Government Obligations without liability to the owner of such Series 2019 Bond for interest thereon, in trust for the benefit of the owner of such Series 2019 Bond, who thereafter shall be restricted exclusively to such moneys or Government Obligations for any claim for such payment of whatsoever nature on his or her part, except as is provided in Section 8.2 hereof. Section 8.2. Unclaimed Moneys. In the event the Series 2019 Bond shall not be presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due, if funds sufficient to pay the Series 2019 Bond shall have been made available to the escrow agent for the benefit of the owner thereof, all liability of the City to the Series 2019 Bondholder for the payment of such Series 2019 Bond and the interest thereon shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged and thereupon it shall be the duty of the escrow agent to hold such fund or funds, without liability for interest thereon, for a period of six years after the Series 2019 Bond shall have matured, for the benefit of the owner of the Series 2019 Bond, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of whatever nature on its part under this Ordinance or with respect to the Series 2019 Bond. At the expiration of such period, any unclaimed principal or interest shall be paid to the City and thereafter all claimants shall be restricted exclusively to making claim against the City for such. principal or interest. The City shall have no liability for interest on any such funds paid to it and shall not be required to hold such funds in trust nor to, in any manner, segregate such funds on its books. ARTICLE IX ENFORCEMENT OF ORDINANCE So long as the Series 2019 Bond is Outstanding, each of the obligations, duties, limitations and restraints imposed upon the City by this Ordinance shall be deemed to be a covenant between the City and the holder of the Series 2019 Bond, and this Ordinance and every provision and covenant hereof, the Act and the Charter shall constitute a contract of the City with the holder from time to time of the Series 2019 Bond. The holder of the Series 2019 Bond may, by mandamus or other appropriate suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction, enforce and compel performance of this Ordinance and every provision and covenant hereof, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the enforcement of the performance of all duties required of the City by this Ordinance, by the Charter and by the Act and any other applicable laws of the State of Nebraska. ARTICLEX MISCELLANEOUS Section 10.1. Benefits of Ordinance Limited to the City and Holder of the Series 2019 Bond. With the exception of rights or benefits herein expressly conferred, nothing expressed or mentioned in or to be implied from this Ordinance or the Series 2019 Bond is intended or should be construed to confer upon or give to any person other than the City and the holder of the Series 2019 Bond any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of or in respect to this Ordinance or any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise, agreement or provision herein contained. This Ordinance and all of the covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises, agreements and provisions hereof are intended to be and shall be for, and inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of, the City and the holder from time to time of the Series 2019 Bond as herein and therein provided.

Section 10.4. Partial Invalidity. If any one or more of the covenants or agreements or portions thereof provided in this Ordinance on the pmi of the City to be performed should be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, then such covenant or covenants, or such agreement or agreements, or such portions thereof, shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants and agreements or portions thereof provided in this Ordinance, and the invalidity thereof shall in no way affect the validity of the other provisions of this Ordinance or of the Series 2019 Bond, but the holder of the Series 2019 Bond shall retain all the rights and benefits accorded to it hereunder and under any applicable provisions of law. If any provisions of this Ordinance shall be held or deemed to be or shall, in fact, be inoperative or unenforceable or invalid as applied in any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions or in all jurisdictions, or in all cases because it conflicts with any constitution or statute or rule of public policy, or for any other reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or unenforceable or invalid in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained inoperative or unenforceable or invalid to any extent whatever. Section 10.5. Law and Place of Enforcement of This Ordinance. This Ordinance shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nebraska. All suits and actions arising out of this Ordinance shall be instituted in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Nebraska, except to the extent necessary for enforcement, by any trustee or receiver appointed by or pursuant to the provisions of this Ordinance, of remedies under this Ordinance. Section 10.6. Effect of Article and Section Headings and Table of Contents. The headings or titles of the several Articles and Sections hereof, and any table of contents appended hereto or to copies hereof, shall be solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning, construction, interpretation or effect of this Ordinance.

Such preretirement dividends will be calculated as follows: 75% of the system's investment return that is over seven percent (7%) on a rolling five (5) year return, using market value of assets. The maximum dividend will be capped at three percent (3%) until such Cash Balance Plan has been in place until January 1, 2020.
