use such funds otherwise available hereunder for redemption of Series 2017 Bonds to purchase Series
2017 Bonds identified by the County, upon the direction of the Corporation, at a price specified by the

to such Term Bonds the amount of such Term Bonds in such order as the County, upon the direction of

if no election is made, in the inverse order thereof. To exercise such right to purchase the Series 2017
Bonds pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(c)(1), the County, at the direction of the Corporation, will give
written notice of its intent to purchase such Series 2017 Bonds to the Trustee not later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable redemption
date, and the County shall promptly confirm its purchase thereof in a written notice delivered to the

hereunder for redemption of Series 2017 Bonds to purchase Series 2017 Bonds identified by the County,
upon the direction of the Corporation, at a price specified by the County, upon the direction of the
Corporation, not exceeding the Redemption Price then applicable hereunder. Any such Series 2017
Bonds to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(c)(2) may, at the option of the County, at the
direction of the Corporation, remain outstanding or be cancelled. To exercise such right to purchase the
Series 2017 Bonds pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(c)(2), the County, at the direction of the Corporation,
will give written notice of its intent to purchase such Series 2017 Bonds to the Trustee not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable
redemption date, which notice will state whether such Series 2017 Bonds are to remain outstanding or be
cancelled, and the County shall promptly confirm its purchase thereof in a written notice delivered to the

date of any Series 2017 Bonds, whether such redemption be in whole or in part, the Trustee shall cause a
notice of any redemption signed by the Trustee to be mailed, postage prepaid, to all Holders owning
Series 2017 Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part provided that notice to the Securities Depository
shall be sent in accordance with the Securities Depository's policies and procedures. Failure to mail any
such notice to any Holder or any defect in any notice so mailed shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of the Series 2017 Bonds of any other Holders to whom notice was
properly given. Each such notice shall set forth: the CUSIP numbers and, if the Series 2017 Bonds are
certificated bonds, the bond certificate numbers of the Series 2017 Bonds to be redeemed, the interest rate
of the Series 2017 Bonds to be redeemed, the Date of Original Issuance of the Series 2017 Bonds to be
redeemed, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price to be paid, the maturities of the Series 2017 Bonds
to be redeemed and, in the case of Series 2017 Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed, the address and telephone number of the Trustee, the date of the
15
redemption notice, and that on the Redemption Date the Series 2017 Bonds called for redemption will be
payable at the designated corporate trust office of the Trustee, that from that date interest will cease to
accrue and be payable and that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP
numbers printed therein or on the Series 2017 Bonds. If any Series 2017 Bond is to be redeemed in part
only, the notice of redemption shall state also that on or after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of
such Series 2017 Bond, a new Series 2017 Bond in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of
such Series 2017 Bond will be issued.
Any notice of redemption, except a notice of redemption in respect of a mandatory sinking fund
redemption, at the direction of the Corporation, may state that the redemption to be effected is
conditioned upon the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date of moneys sufficient to
pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof to be
redeemed, and if such moneys are not so received, such notice shall be of no force or effect and such
Series 2017 Bonds shall not be required to be redeemed. In the event that such notice contains such a
condition and moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Series
2017 Bonds are not received by the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, the redemption shall not
be made, and the Trustee shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice, in the manner in which the
notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received.
In addition, at least 30 days before the Redemption Date, such notice shall be given by first class
mail, postage prepaid, to the Local Government Commission. Neither failure to give any such notice nor
any defect in any such notice so given to the Local Government Commission shall affect the sufficiency
of the proceedings for the redemption of such Series 2017 Bonds.
Notice of redemption of Series 2017 Bonds shall be given by the Trustee, at the expense of the
Corporation, for and on behalf of the County.
(b) The Series 2017 Bonds shall be redeemed only in Authorized Denominations. If less
than all the Series 2017 Bonds are called for redemption, the Series 2017 Bonds of each maturity to be so
redeemed shall be called for redemption in the manner set forth in a certificate of the Corporation filed
with the Trustee. If less than all of the Series 2017 Bonds of any one maturity are to be called for
redemption, the Trustee shall select the Series 2017 Bonds of each such maturity to be redeemed by lot,
each $5,000 portion of principal being counted as one Series 2017 Bond for this purpose; provided,
however, that so long as the only Owner of the Series 2017 Bonds is a Securities Depository Nominee,
such selection shall be made by the Securities Depository by lot in accordance with its operating rules and
procedures.
(c) If less than all of a Series 2017 Bond is selected for redemption, the Owner thereof shall
present and surrender such Series 2017 Bond to the Trustee for payment of the principal amount thereof
so called for redemption, and the redemption premium, if any, on such principal amount, and the County
shall, if necessary, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the order of such
Owner, without charge, for the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Series 2017 Bond so
surrendered, a new Series 2017 Bond of the same maturity and designation, bearing interest at the same
rate of any Authorized Denominations.
(d) Series 2017 Bonds presented and surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this
Section shall be canceled upon the surrender thereof.
(e) On or before the date upon which Series 2017 Bonds are to be redeemed, the County
shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Trustee money or Defeasance Obligations, or a
combination of both, that will be sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and
interest accruing on, the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed on such Redemption Date.
16
On the Redemption Date, notice having been given in the manner and under the conditions
hereinabove provided, the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption shall be due and
payable at the Redemption Price provided therefor, plus accrued interest to such date (except in the case
of a conditional redemption authorized by Section 3.02(a) if moneys are not so available), and if moneys
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed plus
accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date are held by the Trustee in trust for the owners of the
Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, interest on the Series 2017 Bonds or portions
thereof called for redemption shall cease to accrue on such Redemption Date; such Series 2017 Bonds or
portions thereof shall cease to be entitled to any benefits or security under the Bond Order or this Series
Resolution or to be deemed Outstanding; and the owners of such Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof
shall have no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the Redemption Price thereof, plus

Section 6.01 Security for Deposits. Any and all money deposited or caused to be deposited
by the County with the Trustee (or one or more other Depositaries as provided in the Bond Order), except
for the amounts in the Operating Fund to be used to pay Operating Expenses, shall be trust funds under
the terms hereof and shall not be subject to any lien or attachment by any creditor of the County or the
Corporation. Such money shall be held in trust and applied in accordance with the provisions of this
Series Resolution and the Bond Order.
21
Until money deposited with the Trustee or any other Depositary hereunder is invested in
Investment Obligations, the amount of money in excess of the amount guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or other federal agency shall be continuously secured, for the benefit of the County
and the Holders, either (a) by lodging with a bank or trust company chosen by the Trustee as custodian or,
if then permitted by law, by setting aside under control of the trust department of the bank holding such
deposit, as collateral security, Government Obligations or other marketable securities eligible as security
for the deposit of trust funds under regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States or
applicable State law or regulations, having a market value (exclusive of accrued interest) not less than the
amount of such deposit, or (b) if the furnishing of security as provided in clause (a) above is not permitted
by applicable law, then in such other manner as may then be required or permitted by applicable State or
federal laws and regulations regarding the security for, or granting a preference in the case of, the deposit
of trust funds; provided, however, that it shall not be necessary for the Trustee to give security for the
deposit of any money with it for the payment of the principal of or the redemption premium or the interest
on any Series 2017 Bonds, or for the Trustee or any Depositary to give security for any money that shall
be represented by obligations purchased under the provisions of this Article as an investment of such
money.
All money deposited with the Trustee or any Depositary shall be credited to the particular fund or
account to which such money belongs.
Section 6.02 Investment of Money. Money held for the credit of all funds and accounts
created under this Series Resolution or the Bond Order shall be continuously invested and reinvested at
the direction of the County or the Corporation (given in writing or orally, confirmed in writing) by the
Trustee in Investment Obligations to the extent practicable. Any such Investment Obligations shall
mature not later than the respective dates when the money held for the credit of such funds or accounts
will be required for the purposes intended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Investment Obligations in
any fund or account may mature beyond the latest maturity date of any Series 2017 Bonds Outstanding at
the time such Investment Obligations are deposited. For the purposes of this Section, the maturity date of
repurchase agreements is the maturity date of such repurchase agreements and not the maturity date of the
underlying obligations. The Trustee may rely on the written direction of the County or the Corporation as
to the aggregate maturity of any directed investment.
The County or the Corporation may at any time give to the Trustee written directions respecting
the investment of any money required to be invested hereunder, subject, however, to the provisions of this
Article, and the Trustee shall then invest such money under this Section as so directed by the County or
the Corporation. The Trustee may request, in writing, direction or authorization of the County or the
Corporation with respect to the proposed investment of money under the provisions of this Series
Resolution. Upon receipt of such request, accompanied by a memorandum setting forth the details of any
proposed investment, the County or the Corporation will either approve such proposed investment or will
give written directions to the Trustee respecting the investment of such money and, in the case of such
directions, the Trustee shall then, subject to the provisions of this Article, invest such money in
accordance with such directions.
Investment Obligations acquired with money and credited to any fund or account established
under this Series Resolution or the Bond Order shall be held by or under the control of the Trustee and
while so held shall be deemed at all times to be part of such fund or account in which such money was
originally held, and the interest accruing thereon and any profit or loss realized upon the disposition or
maturity of such investment shall be credited to or charged against such fund or account. The Trustee
shall reduce to cash a sufficient amount of such Investment Obligations whenever it shall be necessary so
to do in order to provide moneys to make any payment or transfer of moneys from any such fund or
account. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any such investment.
KPa
Whenever a payment or transfer of money between two or more of the funds or accounts
established pursuant to this Series Resolution or the Bond Order is permitted or required, such payment or
transfer may be made in whole or in part by transfer of one or more Investment Obligations at a value
determined in accordance with this Article VI, provided that the Investment Obligations transferred are
those in which moneys of the receiving fund or account could be invested at the date of such transfer.
The Trustee shall not be held accountable for any depreciation in the valued Investment
Obligations or for any losses incurred upon any authorized disposition thereof.
Section 6.03 Valuation. For the purpose of determining the amount on deposit to the credit of
any such fund or account, Investment Obligations in which money in any fund or account is invested shall
be valued (a) at cost if such Investment Obligations mature within six months from the date of valuation
thereof, and (b) if such Investment Obligations mature more than six months after the date of valuation
thereof, at the price at which such Investment Obligations are redeemable by the holder at his option if so
redeemable, or, if not so redeemable, at the lesser of (i) the cost of such Investment Obligations minus the
amortization of any premium or plus the amortization of any discount thereon and (ii) the market value of
such Investment Obligations.
The Investment Obligations in such funds and accounts shall be valued at any time requested by
the County Representative or the Corporation Representative on reasonable notice to the Trustee (which
period of notice may be waived or reduced by the Trustee); provided, however, that the Trustee shall not
be required to value the Investment Obligations more than once in any calendar month.

Article, or Articles VII, VIII, X or XI of the Bond Order, and neither of such parties as Holders of such
Series 2017 Bonds shall be entitled to consent or take any other action provided for in this Article, or

respective maturities or to call such Series 2017 Bonds for redemption, shall have been given by the

verification agent as to the adequacy of the escrow, which is delivered to the Trustee, and (d) an Opinion
of Counsel is delivered to the Trustee stating to the effect that the Series 2017 Bonds are deemed paid and

Resolution and the Trustee, on demand of the County, shall distribute any surplus in any and all balances
remaining in all funds and accounts, other than money held for the redemption or payment of Series 2017
Bonds. Otherwise, this Series Resolution shall be, continue and remain in full force and effect; provided

retain such rights, powers and privileges under this Series Resolution and the Bond Order as may be
necessary and convenient in respect of the Series 2017 Bonds for the payment of the principal, interest
and any premium for which such Defeasance Obligations have been deposited and (b) the Trustee shall
retain such rights, powers and privileges under this Series Resolution and the Bond Order as may be

bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and applicable regulations thereunder. The

to the Series 2017 Bonds at such time, the County may issue to the Trustee a written certificate to such
effect and appropriate instructions, in which event the Trustee shall take such action as is necessary to

this covenant other than from Net Revenues or money received by the County from the Corporation.

contained herein relating to any notice to, approval of or other action by the Local Government
Commission may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of the

shall be called for redemption in the manner set forth in a certificate of the Corporation filed with the
Trustee. If less than all of the Series 2017 Bonds of any one maturity are to be called for redemption, the
Trustee shall select the Series 2017 Bonds of each such maturity to be redeemed by lot, each $5,000
portion of principal being counted as one Series 2017 Bond for this purpose; provided, however, that so
long as the only Owner of the Series 2017 Bonds is a Securities Depository Nominee, such selection shall
be made by the Securities Depository by lot in accordance with its operating rules and procedures.

be made pursuant to the Series Resolution unless (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Series 2017
Bonds to be redeemed is equal to or greater than $100,000 and (ii) the Series 2017 Bonds are redeemed in
Authorized Denominations.
If less than all of a Series 2017 Bond is selected for redemption, the Owner thereof shall present
and surrender such Series 2017 Bond to the Trustee for payment of the principal amount thereof so called
for redemption, and the redemption premium, if any, on such principal amount, and the County shall, if
necessary, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the order of such Owner,
without charge, for the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Series 2017 Bond so
surrendered, a new Series 2017 Bond of the same maturity and designation, bearing interest at the same
rate of any Authorized Denominations.
Series 2017 Bonds presented and surrendered in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be
canceled upon the surrender thereof.
On or before the date upon which Series 2017 Bonds are to be redeemed, the County shall
deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Trustee money or Defeasance Obligations, or a combination of
both, that will be sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and interest accruing
on, the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed on such Redemption Date.
On the Redemption Date, notice having been given in the manner and under the conditions
hereinabove provided, the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption shall be due and
payable at the Redemption Price provided therefor, plus accrued interest to such date (except in the case
of a conditional redemption authorized by the Series Resolution if moneys are not so available), and if
moneys sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof to be
redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date are held by the Trustee in trust for the
owners of the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, interest on the Series 2017 Bonds or
portions thereof called for redemption shall cease to accrue on such Redemption Date; such Series 2017

defend any suit or other proceeding with respect thereto, except as provided in the Bond Order or the
Series Resolution; provided, however, that any registered owner may institute action to enforce the
payment of the principal of or the interest on this Bond.

may become or may be declared due and payable before the respective stated maturities thereof, together
