All actions not inconsistent with the provisions of this Resolution heretofore taken by the Board and the officers of the District directed toward the Election, effecting the Project and the sale and issuance of the Bonds for such purposes be, and the same are hereby ratified, approved and confirmed.
In accordance with the Constitution and laws of the State and the provisions of this Resolution, and for the purposes set forth in the Election, the District hereby authorizes to be issued its “Larimer County Centro Business Park Public Improvement District No. 38, Larimer County, Colorado, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2008” in the aggregate principal amount provided in the Sale Certificate, subject to the parameters and restrictions contained in this Resolution.
Section 11-57-204 of the Supplemental Act provides that a public entity, including the District, may elect in an act of issuance to apply all or any of the provisions of the Supplemental Act. The Board hereby elects to apply all of the provisions of the Supplemental Act to the Bonds.
Pursuant to Section 11-57-205 of the Supplemental Act the Board hereby delegates to any member of the Board or the Finance Director, the independent authority to sign the Purchase Contract and the Sale Certificate as well as the authority to make determinations in relation to the Bonds contained in the Sale Certificate subject to the parameters and restrictions contained in Section 5 of this Resolution.
The Bonds shall mature, be payable, bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) payable to the Registered Owners of the Bonds from their dated date to maturity or prior redemption, be subject to redemption and be sold, all as provided in the Sale Certificate; provided that: (a) the net effective interest rate on the Bonds shall not exceed 10% per annum; (b) the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds shall not exceed $940,000; (c) the maximum total repayment cost of the Bonds shall not exceed $2,100,000; (d) the maximum annual repayment cost of the Bonds shall not exceed $175,000; (e) the first optional redemption date of the Bonds shall not be later than December 1, [2017]; (f) the redemption price shall not exceed 100% of the principal amount so redeemed; (g) the Bonds shall mature no later than December 1, [20__]; and (h) the purchase price of the Bonds shall not be less than [100]%. Interest on the Bonds shall be payable semiannually on each June 1 and December 1, commencing on the date provided in the Sale Certificate.
On or before the thirtieth day prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Registrar shall proceed to call the Term Bonds (or any Term Bond or Term Bonds issued to replace such Term Bonds), if any, for redemption from the sinking fund on the next December 1, and give notice of such call without further instruction or notice from the District.
At its option, to be exercised on or before the sixtieth day next preceding each such sinking fund redemption date, the District may (a) deliver to the Registrar for cancellation Term Bonds subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on such date in an aggregate principal amount desired or (b) receive a credit in respect of its sinking fund redemption obligation for any Term Bonds of the same maturity and interest rate subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on such date, which prior to said date have been redeemed (otherwise than through the operation of the sinking fund) and canceled by the Registrar and not theretofore applied as a credit against any sinking fund redemption obligation. Each Term Bond so delivered or previously redeemed will be credited by the Registrar at the principal amount thereof on the obligation of the District on such sinking fund redemption date and the principal amount of Term Bonds to be redeemed by operation of such sinking fund on such date will be accordingly reduced. The District will on or before the sixtieth day next preceding each sinking fund redemption date furnish the Registrar with its certificate indicating whether or not and to what extent the provisions of (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence are to be availed with respect to such sinking fund payment. Failure of the District to deliver such certificate shall not affect the Registrar’s duty to give notice of sinking fund redemption as provided in this paragraph B.
All official notices of redemption shall be dated and shall state:
Prior to any redemption date, the District shall deposit with the Paying Agent 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.
Official notice of redemption having 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 (unless the District shall default in the payment of the redemption price) 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 Paying Agent 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. Upon surrender for partial redemption of any Bond, there shall be prepared for the Registered Owner a new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity and interest rate in the amount of the unpaid principal. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be canceled and destroyed by the Registrar and shall not be reissued.
In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice may be given by the Paying Agent in order to comply with the requirements of any Depository holding the Bonds but no defect in said further notice nor any failure 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.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, any notice of optional redemption may contain a statement that the redemption is conditioned upon the receipt by the Paying Agent of funds on or before the date fixed for redemption sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Bonds so called for redemption, and that if such funds are not available, such redemption shall be cancelled by written notice to the Owners of the Bonds called for redemption in the same manner as the original redemption notice was mailed.
The Bonds shall be executed in the name of and on behalf of the District and signed by the manual or facsimile signature of the President, sealed with a manual or facsimile impression of the seal of the District and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary. The Bonds bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of the officers in office at the time of the signing thereof shall be the valid and binding obligations of the District (subject to the requirement of authentication by the Registrar as hereinafter provided) notwithstanding that before the delivery of the Bonds, or before the issuance of the Bonds upon transfer or exchange, any or all of the persons whose facsimile signatures appear on the Bonds shall have ceased to fill their respective offices. The President and Secretary may, by the execution of a signature certificate pertaining to the Bonds, adopt as and for their respective signatures the facsimiles thereof appearing on the Bonds. At the time of the execution of the signature certificate, the President and Secretary may each adopt as and for his or her facsimile signature the facsimile signature of his or her predecessor in office in the event that such facsimile signature appears upon any of the Bonds.
No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless the certificate of authentication, substantially in the form hereinafter provided, has been duly manually executed by the Registrar. The Registrar’s certificate of authentication shall be deemed to have been duly executed by it if manually signed by an authorized officer or representative of the Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer or representative sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds issued hereunder. By authenticating any of the Bonds initially delivered pursuant to this Resolution, the Registrar shall be deemed to have assented to the provisions of this Resolution.
The holder or holders of the Bonds shall possess all rights enjoyed by the holders of investment securities under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code - Investment Securities. The Bonds shall constitute the general obligation of the District and the full faith and credit of the District shall be, and hereby is, pledged to the payment thereof.
The Bonds, the Registrar’s certificate of authentication, the form of assignment, and the form of prepayment panel shall be in substantially the following forms:
(Form of Bond)
Unless this bond is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the District or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any bond issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the Registered Owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

A. When the Bonds have been duly executed and authenticated, they will be delivered to the Underwriter on receipt of the agreed purchase price. The Registrar shall initially register the Bonds in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC, or in the names of such transferees as the Underwriter may designate by a writing or writings satisfactory to the Registrar, or any combination thereof as directed by the Underwriter. The funds realized from the sale of the Bonds shall be applied solely to defray the costs of the Project, and for no other purposes whatsoever. The Underwriter shall in no manner be responsible for the application or disposal by the District, or any of its officers, of any of the funds derived from the sale of the Bonds.
A. The interest and principal, if any, falling due on the Bonds prior to the time when sufficient proceeds of a levy therefore are available shall be paid out of the general revenues of the District or other moneys available therefore. For the purpose of reimbursing any such general revenues so used for principal and interest and to meet the principal and interest payments accruing thereafter, as the same shall become due, there shall be levied by the Board of County Commissioners for the County, on all taxable property in the District, in addition to all other taxes, direct annual taxes unlimited as to rate and in an amount sufficient to pay principal and interest on the Bonds when due, promptly as the same respectively when due. The taxes when collected shall be deposited in the Larimer County Centro Business Park Public Improvement District No. 38 Bond Fund (the “Bond Fund”), to be applied solely for the purpose of the payment of interest and principal on the Bonds, and for no other purpose whatever, until the indebtedness so contracted under this Resolution, principal and interest, shall have been fully paid, satisfied, and discharged; the District may apply any other funds that may be in the treasury of the District and available for that purpose to the payment of interest or principal as the same respectively come due, and to that extent the levy or levies herein provided for may thereupon be diminished. The levies may also be diminished to the extent that funds are not needed as a result of prior redemption in accordance with the terms of this Resolution.
Said direct annual taxes levied to pay said principal and interest shall be in addition to any and all other taxes levied to effect the purposes of the District. No statutory or constitutional provision enacted after the issuance of the Bonds shall in any manner be construed as limiting or impairing the obligation of the District to levy ad valorem taxes on property within the District, without limitation of rate and in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due. Any changes in the boundaries of the District subsequent to the delivery of the Bonds shall be effected in such a manner as to fully preserve and protect the rights of the
