EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Ordinance No. 090, 2010, authorizes the issuance and safe of City of Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority
(DDA)Taxable and Tax-Exempt Taxlncrement Revenue Bonds_Series 20�1 OA and 20108 in the maximum aggregate
principal amount of $14,000,000.. The proceeds of the' nds, appropriated in Ordinance No. 091, 2010, net of
issuance expenses,will be used to make-capital improvements and fund programs in the downtown area consistent
with the mission of the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority. The bonds are anticipated to have final
maturities no longer than ten years from the date of issuance.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Before initiation of bond issuance, DDA staff evaluates factors that create the structure of the DDA's financing plan,
which include needs,costs,and timing. Needs-are the project or program commitments authorized by the DDA Board
of Directors.Costs include the compensation paid to the financing team(bond counsel, financial advisor, DDA's legal
counsel),fees due at closing(origination fee,cost of issuance fee),and current interest rate structure.Timing includes
anticipating when the reimbursement requests will come to the DDA from project or program owners combined with
an analysis of the revenue stream coming from property tax increment, which is used to service the debt. These
factors also influence the size of the bonds. A unique factor for the DDA in the 2010 Bond Series issuance is the
complexity added to the DDA's revenue stream by the Senate Bill 170 statute amendment, which affects revenues
beginning in tax year 2011.
i/ �) i / \l MJames \\On the advice of the City's and the'DDA's financial adviso Capita'IZvisors, Inc., the DDA is seeking to
consolidate and issue a bond series prior to the formal comm,encement ofiSenate Bill 170. The provisions of this bill
require adjustment to the tax increment base and,share.back of property taxrevenue with overlapping entities. These
provisions affect the Fort Collins DDA ih-tax year 2011. Uncertainty about how the bond investment market would
respond to Senate Bill 170 requirements precipitated the need to plan ahead for project and-program reimbursement
funding that could potentially extend into 2012.
Since 2002, the City of Fort Collins has purchased the DDA's tax increment bonds. The City of Fort Collins is unable
to purchase the 2010 series bonds as there is not enough capacity above the required reserve policy to allow lending
at this time. The DDA,working with the City's finance department and the financial advisor, sought private placement
with a local bank. Private placement was the method recommended by James Capital Advisors over other options
such as syndication of bonds on the bond trading market. It was anticipated that only local banks familiar with of the
August 17, 2010 -2- ITEM 8
DDA's mission and a willingness to understand and work with the complex mechanics of Senate Bill 170 tax increment
base adjustment and share-back requirements would be interested in purchasing the 2010 Tax Increment Revenue
Bonds. The DDA was able to secure favorable terms for bond debt financing with Great Western Bank. A second
offer from another local bank was also considered. It was determined that the offer from Great Western was the most
advantageous to the DDA, given the DDA!s.need to.remain sensitive to,project owner expectations and commitments
to their lending partners. /� r�� I D \\ //
There is an additional complexity in t+his issuapc(e.�By de�ermination of Shhleerrman & Howard L.L.C., bond counsel for
the City of Fort Collins and the DDA, the DDA bonds�will•hav' hwo(2)classifications—taxable and tax-exempt, each
having its own interest rate. The tax-exempt bonds may only be used to fund capital projects.
Using conservative projections of future tax increment revenue, DDA staff and the DDA budget/finance committee
have determined this debt can be serviced over a 10-year term with property tax revenues paid into the tax increment
fund in accordance with the amended DDA statute.
The Bonds
DDA staff has estimated the debt payments on the$14,000,000 with interest payments occurring on a semi-annual
basis,beginning in June 2011 and annual principal payments beginning in December2012. The debt service schedule
calls for the final payments for the bonds to occur in 2020.

The sources and uses of the funds are estimates and are subject to change until the issuance and sale of the bonds.
Final amounts, rates and costs will be determined after the private placement has been completed.
Open Project Commitments include projects and programs that the DDA Board has taken formal action to approve
commitment of funds.
Unappropriated Bond Project Account includes projects and programs, consistent with the DDA mission that still
require formal DDA Board and City Council action before the funds can be expended. The reason these placeholder
items are included in the 2010 Bond Issuance is because they represent future obligations such as annual
maintenance of the downtown enhanced alleys, continuation of annual programs such as the holiday lights and the
ice rink, and utilities and maintenance of-the.East Vine-Drive warehouse. All proceeds in this account will be brought
to the DDA Board and the City Coun� 'for appropfiat of a within the next T
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS/ �U) I
The Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority is requesting approval to issue taxable and tax-exempt Tax
Increment Revenue Bonds, in the maximum aggregate amount of$14,000,000. Over the ensuing years, the taxable
projects receiving the benefit through the capital improvements will repay the value of the investment by the DDA
through increased tax increment.
The DDA debt service fund is projected to have sufficient revenue to meet all required debt service payments for 2011
through 2020.

hereof together with a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the Registered Owner or
his, her or its duly authorized attorney-in-fact or legal representative with guaranty of signature
satisfactory to the transfer agent, containing written instructions as to the details of the transfer,
along with the social security number or federal employer identification number of the transferee

this Bond and for all other purposes, and all such payments so made to such person or entity or
upon his, her or its order will be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the liability of the
City upon this Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and the City will not be affected by
any notice to the contrary.
This Bond is a special and limited obligation of the City payable solely out of and
secured by a pledge (but not necessarily an exclusive pledge) of certain tax increment revenues

all as more specifically provided in the Ordinance, and of certain funds and accounts pledged in
the Ordinance . This Bond does not constitute a debt or an indebtedness of the City within the
meaning of any constitutional, charter or statutory provision or limitation of the State of
Colorado or of the City. This Bond is not a general obligation of the City, and the full faith and
credit of the City is not pledged for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond.

City shall be deposited by the City in the funds described in this Section 5 , to be accounted for in
the manner and priority set forth in this Section 5 .
Neither the Purchaser nor any subsequent Owner of any Bond shall be responsible
for the application or disposal by the City or by any of its officers, agents and employees of the
moneys derived from the sale of the Bonds or of any other moneys designated in this Section 5 .
The Pledged Revenues and all moneys and securities paid or to be paid to or held

of the first delivery of the Bonds, and the moneys, as received by the City and hereby pledged,
shall immediately be subject to the lien of this pledge without any physical delivery thereof, any
filing, or further act. The creation, perfection, enforcement, and priority of the pledge of
revenues to secure or pay the Bonds as provided herein shall be governed by § 11 -57-208 of the
Supplemental Act and this Ordinance . The lien of such pledge on the revenues pledged for
payment of the Bonds and the obligation to perform the contractual provisions made herein shall
have priority over any or all other obligations and liabilities of the City (except as herein
otherwise expressly provided), and the lien of this pledge shall be valid and binding as against all
parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the City (except as herein
otherwise expressly provided), irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof
A. Disposition of Bond Proceeds . Upon the issuance of the Bonds, there
shall be deposited (a) in the Costs of Issuance Account hereby created within the Development
and Expense Fund from the proceeds of the Bonds an amount equal to the Costs of Issuance of

hereby created within the Development and Expense Fund to be used and paid from time to time
solely for the purpose of paying the Costs of the Project for the respective series of Bonds . If
any amounts remain on deposit in the Costs of Issuance Account after payment of all the Costs
of Issuance of the Bonds or any proceeds of the Bonds remain in the Development or Expense
Fund after payment in full of the Cost of the Project, such amounts shall be transferred to the Tax
Increment Fund to be used in accordance with Section 5B hereof. Nothing herein shall preclude
payment of Costs of Issuance from the Tax Increment Fund, if necessary.
B . Disposition of Pledged Revenues. For so long as any of the Bonds shall
be Outstanding, as to any Debt Service Requirements, except as otherwise provided herein, the
Pledged Revenues, upon their receipt from time to time by the City, shall be set aside and
credited immediately to the Tax Increment Fund.

Requirements, the Tax Increment Fund shall be accumulated and administered, and the moneys

deposit in the Tax Increment Principal and Interest Account from the Pledged Revenues an
amount sufficient to pay all the Debt Service Requirements due or to become due during the
current Bond Year on all Bonds, Parity Securities and any Additional Parity Bonds .
D . Tax Increment Reserve Account Pam. After the payments required
by Section 5C have been made, the City shall deposit in the Tax Increment Reserve Account the
amounts, if any, required to maintain the Reserve Requirement and such other amounts, if any,
required by the ordinances authorizing Parity Securities or any Additional Parity Bonds . The
Tax Increment Reserve Account shall be funded at the times and in the manner specified in this
Ordinance and any such other ordinances and funds on deposit therein shall be utilized as set
forth in this Ordinance and in any such other ordinances .
Amounts on deposit in the Tax Increment Reserve Account shall be maintained as
a continuing reserve for the payment of the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds and any
Parity Securities to which the Tax Increment Reserve Account is pledged.
Except as hereinafter provided, if at any time the City shall for any reason fail to
pay into the Tax Increment Principal and Interest Account the full amount above stipulated, then
there shall be paid into the Tax Increment Principal and Interest Account at such time from the
Tax Increment Reserve Account an amount equal to the difference between that paid from the
Pledged Revenues and the full amount so stipulated. The money so used shall be replaced to the
Tax Increment Reserve Account from the first Pledged Revenues thereafter received and not
required to be otherwise applied by Section 5C hereof.
Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed as limiting the right of the City, with
the written consent of the Purchaser, to substitute for any cash deposit required to be maintained
hereunder a bond reserve insurance policy, letter of credit, surety bond, agreement guaranteeing
payment, or other undertaking by a financial institution to ensure that cash in the amount
otherwise required to be maintained hereunder will be available to the City as needed. Any such
credit instrument shall be deposited with the Paying Agent, which shall ascertain the necessity
for a claim against or draw upon the credit instrument and provide notice to the issuer of such
credit instrument in accordance with its terms not later than three (3) days (or such longer period
as may be necessary, depending on the permitted time period for honoring claims or draws
thereunder) prior to each Interest Payment Date . If a letter of credit is substituted for the cash
deposit required to be maintained hereunder, the Paying Agent shall draw upon such letter of
credit not later than two (2) weeks prior to its expiration or termination unless an alternate credit
instrument conforming with the provisions hereof has been substituted therefor or the amount
otherwise required to be maintained hereunder is on deposit in the Tax Increment Reserve
Account.

required by Section 5C and 5D have been made, any moneys remaining in the Tax Increment
Fund in any Bond Year shall be used by the City for the payment of Debt Service Requirements
of the Subordinate Bonds ; but the lien of such securities on the Tax Increment Revenues and the
pledge thereof for the payment of such securities shall be subordinate and junior to the lien and
pledge for the payment of all Outstanding Bonds as herein provided.
28
PUBFIN�' '"\�T21213653.3
F . Rebate Fund. The Financial Officer shall transfer into and pay from the
Rebate Fund hereby created the amount of required arbitrage rebate, if any, due to the federal
government under Sections 103 and 148(f)(2) of the Tax Code and the regulations thereunder.
The Financial Officer shall determine such amounts in the manner required by said sections and
related regulations. Transfer of the required arbitrage rebate amounts shall be made from the
Tax Increment Principal and Interest Account and the Tax Increment Reserve Account, provided,
however, that required arbitrage rebate payments shall be made to the federal government from
legally available funds regardless of whether there are any remaining proceeds or other funds
attributable to the Bonds that are available for the purpose .
All amounts in the Rebate Fund, including income earned from investment
thereof, shall be held by the Financial Officer free and clear of any lien created by this
Ordinance, and the Financial Officer shall pay over to the federal government from time to time
as the Financial Officer shall determine provided that the Financial Officer shall so pay over to
the federal government not less frequently than once each five (5 ) years after the date of issuance
of the Bonds, an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the required arbitrage rebate amount
earned during such period (and not theretofore paid to the federal government) and not later than
sixty (60) days after the redemption of the last Bond, one hundred percent ( 100%) of the required
arbitrage rebate amount.
G. Use of Remaining Revenues . After the payments required to be made by
Sections 5C through 5F hereof have been made or provided for in any Bond Year and provided
the City shall not be in default on making any payments required by Section 5 hereof, any
remaining Pledged Revenues may be used for any one or any combination of purposes allowed
by State law, including the Downtown Development Authority Act, as the City may from time to
time determine .
H. Termination of Deposits. No payment need be made into the Tax
Increment Principal and Interest Account or the Tax Increment Reserve Account if the amount of
cash and Permitted Investments in the Tax Increment Principal and Interest Account and the Tax
Increment Reserve Account is at least equal to the entire amount of the Outstanding Bonds and
any Outstanding Additional Parity Bonds and Parity Securities, as to all Debt Service
Requirements, to their respective Maturity Dates or to any Redemption Dates on which the City
shall have exercised or shall have obligated itself to exercise its option to redeem, prior to their
respective Maturity Dates, any Bonds, any Additional Parity Bonds and any other Parity
Securities then Outstanding and thereafter maturing (provided that, solely for the purpose of this
Section 5H, there shall be deemed to be a credit to the Tax Increment Principal and Interest
Account, any cash or Permitted Investments accounted for in any other fund or account of the
City and restricted solely for the purpose of paying the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds,
any Additional Parity Bonds or any other Parity Securities), in which case cash or Permitted
Investments in the Tax Increment Principal and Interest Account in an amount, except for any
known interest or other gain to accrue from any investment or deposit of moneys from the time
of any such investment or deposit to the time or respective times the proceeds of any such
investment or deposit shall be needed for such payment, at least equal to such Debt Service
Requirements, shall be used together with any such gain from such investments and deposits
solely to pay such Debt Service Requirements as the same become due .

PUBFIN�' '"\�T21213653.3
L Budget and Appropriation of Sums . The sums required to make the
payments specified in this Section 5 are hereby appropriated for the purposes, and the amounts
so required to make the payments specified in this Section in each year shall be included in the
budget and the appropriation ordinance or measures to be adopted or passed by the Council
while any of the Bonds, as to either principal or interest, are Outstanding and unpaid. No
provisions of any constitution, charter, statute, ordinance, resolution, or other order or measure
enacted after the issuance of the Bonds shall in any manner be construed as limiting or impairing
the obligation of the City to keep and perform the covenants contained in this Ordinance so long
as any of the Bonds remain Outstanding and unpaid.
Section 6. General Administration of Funds and Accounts.
A. Places and Times of Deposits. Each of the special funds or accounts
created or referred to in Section 5 hereof shall be kept separate and apart from all other accounts
or funds of the City as trust accounts solely for the purposes herein designated therefor. For
purposes of investment of moneys, nothing, except as specifically provided herein, prevents the
commingling of moneys accounted for in any two or more such funds or accounts pertaining to
the Pledged Revenues or to such fund and account and any other funds or accounts of the City
adopted or created under this Ordinance . Such funds or accounts shall be continuously secured
to the fullest extent required and permitted by the laws of the State for the securing of public
funds and shall be irrevocable and not withdrawable by anyone for any purpose other than the
respective designated purposes of such funds and accounts . Each periodic payment shall be
credited to the proper fund or account not later than the date therefor herein designated, except
that when any such date shall be a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday, then such payment shall
be made on or before the next preceding business day.
B . Investment of Funds and Accounts . Any moneys in the Development and
Expense Fund, the Tax Increment Fund and the Subordinate Bonds Debt Service Account may
be deposited, invested, or reinvested in Permitted Investments . Securities or obligations
purchased as such an investment shall either be subject to redemption at any time at face value
by the Owner thereof at the option of such Owner or shall mature at such time or times as shall
most nearly coincide with the expected need for moneys from the fund or account in question.
Securities or obligations so purchased as an investment of moneys in any such fund or account
shall be deemed at all times to be a part of the applicable fund or account; provided that the
interest accruing on such investments and any profit realized therefrom shall be credited to the
Tax Increment Fund and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the
particular fund or account in question. Interest and profit realized from investments in the Tax
Increment Reserve Account shall be credited to the Tax Increment Reserve Account, provided
that, so long as the amount in the Tax Increment Reserve Account equals the Reserve
Requirement, such interest and profit may be transferred to the Tax Increment Principal and
Interest Account and distributed in the same manner as other moneys in the Tax Increment
Principal and Interest Account. Any loss resulting from investments in the Tax Increment
Reserve Account shall be charged to the Tax Increment Reserve Account. Permitted
Investments shall be valued by the Financial Officer at the lower of the cost or the market price,
exclusive of accrued interest. With respect to all funds and accounts (except defeasance escrows
and except as otherwise provided in the Tax Certificate with respect to the Rebate Fund),
valuation shall occur quarterly. If on any valuation date the market value of investments in the
30
PUBFIN�' '"\�T21213653.3
Tax Increment Reserve Account is less than the Reserve Requirement due to market fluctuations,
the deficiency shall be remedied no later than the next quarterly valuation date. The City shall
present for redemption or sale on the prevailing market any securities or obligations so purchased
as an investment of moneys in a given fund or account whenever it shall be necessary to do so in
order to provide moneys to meet any required payment or transfer from such fund or account.
The City shall not invest any moneys accounted for hereunder if any such investment would
contravene the covenant contained in Section 8N hereof.
C . No Liability for Losses Incurred in Performing Terms of Ordinance.
Neither the City nor any officer of the City shall be liable or responsible for any loss resulting
from any investment or reinvestment made in accordance with this Ordinance .
D . Character of Funds . The moneys in any fund or account herein authorized
shall consist of lawful money of the United States of America or Permitted Investments or both
such money and Permitted Investments . Moneys deposited in a demand or time deposit account
in a Commercial Bank, appropriately secured according to the laws of the State, shall be deemed
lawful money of the United States of America.
E . Accelerated Payments Optional. Nothing contained herein prevents the
accumulation in any fund or account herein designated of any monetary requirements at a faster
rate than the rate or minimum rate, as the case may be, provided therefor, but no payment shall
be so accelerated if such acceleration shall cause a default in the payment of any obligation of
the City pertaining to the Pledged Revenues .
Section 7. Priorities ; Liens ; Issuance of Additional Securities.
A. Lien on Pledged Revenues . Except as expressly provided in this
Ordinance with respect to the issuance of Additional Parity Bonds, other Parity Securities and
Subordinate Bonds, the Pledged Revenues shall be and hereby are irrevocably pledged and set
aside to pay the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds . The Bonds constitute an irrevocable
lien (but not necessarily an exclusive lien) upon the Pledged Revenues . The Bonds , any Parity
Securities and any Additional Parity Bonds authorized to be issued and from time to time
Outstanding are equitably and ratably secured by a lien on the Pledged Revenues and shall not be
entitled to any priority one over the other in the application thereof regardless of the time or
times of the issuance of the Bonds, any Parity Securities and any Additional Parity Bonds, it
being the intention of the Council that there shall be no priority among the Bonds, any Parity
Securities and any Additional Parity Bonds, regardless of the fact that they may be actually
issued and delivered at different times .
B . Issuance of Additional Parity Bonds . Nothing herein prevents the
issuance by the City of Additional Parity Bonds payable from the Pledged Revenues and
constituting a lien on the Pledged Revenues on a parity with, but not prior or superior to, the lien
thereon of the Bonds ; but before any such Additional Parity Bonds are authorized or actually
issued the following conditions shall be satisfied:
31
PUBFIN�' '"\�T21213653.3
( 1 ) Absence of Payment Default. At the time of the issuance of the
Additional Parity Bonds, the City shall not be in default in making any payments required by
Section 5 hereof.
(2) Historic Revenues Tests . Except as hereinafter provided in the
case of Additional Parity Bonds issued for the purpose of refunding less than all of the Bonds
and other Parity Securities then Outstanding, the Pledged Revenues for the last complete Fiscal
Year or twelve full consecutive calendar months prior to the issuance of the proposed Additional
Parity Bonds, as certified by an Independent Accountant or the Financial Officer, must have been
equal to at least one hundred thirty-five percent ( 135 %) of the Combined Maximum Annual Debt
Service Requirements of the Bonds then Outstanding, any Additional Parity Bonds then
Outstanding, and the Additional Parity Bonds proposed to be issued plus one hundred percent
( 100%) of all policy costs attributable to any bond insurance policy and bond reserve insurance
policy and other similar amounts then due and owing. For purposes of this Section 7B(2), when
computing the Maximum Annual Debt Service Requirements for the Bonds, it shall be assumed
that any such Bonds Outstanding at the time of the computation will bear interest during any
period at the highest of (a) the actual rate on the date of calculation, (b) if the Bonds have been
Outstanding for at least twelve ( 12) months, the average rate of the Bonds over the twelve ( 12)
months immediately preceding the date of calculation, and (c) (i) if interest on the Outstanding
2010A DDA Taxable Bonds, a rate calculated within sixty (60) days prior to the proposed
issuance of Additional Parity Bonds at 4. 5 % above the United States 5 -year Treasury Rate based
on a 365/366-day year or (ii) if interest on the Outstanding 2010B DDA Tax-Exempt Bonds, a
rate calculated within sixty (60) days prior to the proposed issuance of Additional Parity Bonds
at 0 . 66 multiplied by the following rate : 4. 5 % above the United States Treasury Rate based on a
365/366-day year. For purposes of this Section 7B(2), when computing the Maximum Annual
Debt Service Requirements for any other issue of securities bearing interest at a variable,
adjustable, convertible or other similar rate that is not fixed for the entire term thereof, it shall be
assumed that any such Securities Outstanding at the time of the computation will bear interest
during any period at the highest of (a) the actual rate on the date of calculation, or if the
Securities are not yet outstanding, the initial rate (if established and binding), (b) if the Securities
have been outstanding for at least twelve ( 12) months, the average rate over the twelve ( 12)
months immediately preceding the date of calculation, and (c) (i) if interest on the Securities is
excludable from gross income under the applicable provisions of the Tax Code, the average of
the SIFMA Index during the preceding twelve ( 12) months plus one hundred ( 100) basis points,
or (ii) if interest is not so excludable, the interest rate on direct Federal Securities with
comparable maturities plus fifty (50) basis points . It shall further be assumed that any such
Securities which may be tendered prior to maturity for purchase at the option of the Owner
thereof will mature on their stated Maturity Dates or mandatory Redemption Dates . The City
shall be permitted to treat any fixed rate payable on an interest rate exchange agreement or
"swap" contract as the interest rate on any such issue of Securities if the counterparty to such
agreement or contract has unconditionally agreed to pay all interest due on such Securities . In
the case of Additional Parity Bonds issued for the purpose of refunding less than all of the Bonds
and other Parity Securities then Outstanding, compliance with this Section 7B(2) shall not be
required so long as the Debt Service Requirements payable on the Bonds and all other Parity
Securities Outstanding after the issuance of such Additional Parity Bonds during each Bond Year
does not exceed the Debt Service Requirements payable on the Bonds and all other Parity
Securities Outstanding prior to the issuance of such Additional Parity Bonds in each Bond Year.
32
PUBFIN�' '"\�T21213653.3
(3 ) Adequate Reserves . If the Tax Increment Reserve Account is to be
pledged to the payment of the Debt Service Requirements of such Additional Parity Bonds, the
Tax Increment Reserve Account shall be fully funded in accordance with Section 5D hereof, and
the proceedings under which any such Additional Parity Bonds are issued must provide for the
deposit of moneys to the Tax Increment Reserve Account on substantially the same terms as
provided in Section 5D hereof and contain a covenant by the City to maintain the Tax Increment
Reserve Account in an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement. The proceedings under which
any such Additional Parity Bonds are issued may also provide for the deposit of moneys to a
debt service reserve fund (other than Tax Increment Reserve Account) established and
maintained for such Additional Parity Bonds . Any such debt service reserve fund shall have a
claim to the Pledged Revenues equal to and on a parity with that of the Tax Increment Reserve
Account.
C . Certification of Revenues . Where certifications of revenues are required
by this Ordinance, the specified and required written certifications of an Independent Accountant
or the Financial Officer that revenues are sufficient to pay the required amounts shall be
conclusively presumed to be accurate in determining the right of the City to authorize issue, sell
and deliver Additional Parity Bonds; provided that the Purchaser shall be given the written

have been fully paid and discharged:
A. Continuance and Collection of Tax Increment Revenues .
( 1 ) The Plan of Development, as approved and amended as described
in this Ordinance, is now in full force and effect. The City will not revoke its approval or amend
the Plan of Development or unilaterally agree to reduce the size of the District in any manner

decreases the aggregate assessed valuation within the District by 1 % or more . The City
covenants to provide notice to the Purchaser of any proposed reduction in size of the District at

whether such reduction would be material.

of the Debt Service Requirements of all securities payable therefrom, including any reserves
therefor, as provided herein or in any instrument supplemental or amendatory hereto .

threatened in writing any suit, action or proceeding against or affecting the City before or by any
court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other governmental authority that affects the validity
or legality of this Ordinance, any ordinance affecting the Tax Increment Revenues or any of the
City's obligations under such ordinances .
The City shall, to the extent permitted by law, defend the validity and legality of
all ordinances affecting the Tax Increment Revenues and all amendments thereto against all
claims, suits and proceedings that would diminish or impair the Pledged Revenues .
Except as permitted in this Ordinance, the City has not pledged the Pledged
Revenues in any manner that would diminish the security for payment of the Bonds.
C . Performance of Duties . The City, acting and through its officers, or
otherwise, shall faithfully and punctually perform, or cause to be performed, all duties with
respect to the Pledged Revenues required by the Constitution and laws of the State, the Charter

undertaken by it under the contract with the Purchaser and any other agreements relating to the
Bonds and the Pledged Revenues .

authorized by law, pass, make, do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, and file or record all and every
such further instruments, acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, transfers, other documents, and
assurances as may be necessary or desirable for the better assuring, conveying, granting,
assigning and confirming all and singular the rights, the Pledged Revenues and other funds and
accounts hereby pledged, or intended so to be, or that the City may hereafter become bound to
pledge, or as may be reasonable and required to carry out the purposes of this Ordinance. The

or other limitation prescribed by the Constitution or laws of the United States of America, the
Constitution or laws of the State or the Charter.
G. Records. The City will cause the Authority to keep proper books of record
and account, separate and apart from all other records and accounts, showing complete and
correct entries of all transactions relating to the funds and accounts described herein. Within 30
days of the end of each calendar quarter and within 60 days of the end of each calendar year, the
City will cause the Authority to account to the Purchaser at the expense of the Authority for all
revenues, expenditures and balances in the funds and accounts referred to in Section 5 hereof for
such prior periods . The City shall also provide to the Purchaser a copy of the City ' s audited

discuss financial matters affecting the Authority and Pledged Revenues upon the reasonable

payment of the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds and any other securities payable from

other action taken by which the rights of any Owner of any Bond or other security payable from
Pledged Revenues might be materially impaired or diminished.

whatsoever on or against any of the Tax Increment Revenues except as provided herein.
M. Surety Bonds . Each official or other person having custody of any
Pledged Revenues, or responsible for their handling, shall be fully bonded at all times, which
bond shall be conditioned upon the proper application of said moneys .
N. Tax Covenant. The City covenant for the benefit of the registered owners
of the 2010B DDA Tax-Exempt Bonds that they will not take any action or omit to take any
action with respect to the 2010B DDA Tax-Exempt Bonds, the proceeds thereof, any other funds
of the City or any facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the 2010B DDA Tax-
Exempt Bonds if such action or omission (i) would cause the interest on the 2010 DDA Tax-
Exempt Bonds to lose its exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes under
Section 103 of the Tax Code, (ii) would cause interest on the 2010B DDA Tax-Exempt Bonds to
lose its exclusion from alternative minimum taxable income as defined in Section 55 (b)(2) of the
Tax Code, or (iii) would cause interest on the 2010B DDA Tax-Exempt Bonds to lose its
exclusion from Colorado taxable income or Colorado alternative minimum taxable income under
present Colorado law.
The foregoing covenant shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the
payment in full or defeasance of the 2010B DDA Tax-Exempt Bonds until the date on which all
obligations of the City in fulfilling the above covenant under the Tax Code and Colorado law
have been met. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, if the City shall obtain an opinion
of nationally recognized bond counsel that any specified action required under this Section is no
longer required or that some further or different action is required to maintain the tax-exempt
status of interest on the 2010B DDA Tax-Exempt Bonds, the City, as the case may be, may
conclusively rely on such opinion in complying with the requirements of this Section, and the
covenants hereunder shall be deemed to be modified to that extent.
For the purpose of Section 265 (b)(3 )(B) of the Code, the City hereby designates
the 2010B DDA Tax-Exempt Bonds as qualified tax-exempt obligations .
O . Notice of Default. To the extent the City becomes aware of a default
under this Ordinance or the Bonds, it shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the
Purchaser.
Section 9. Defeasance.
When all Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds have been duly paid, the
pledge and lien and all obligations hereunder shall thereby be discharged and the Bonds shall no
longer be deemed to be Outstanding within the meaning of this Ordinance . There shall be
deemed to be such due payment when the City has placed in escrow or in trust with a Trust Bank
located within or without the State, moneys or Federal Securities in an amount sufficient
(including the known minimum yield available for such purpose from Federal Securities in
which such amount wholly or in part may be initially invested) to meet all Debt Service
Requirements of the Bonds, as the same become due to their respective Maturity Dates or to any
Redemption Date as of which the City shall have exercised or shall have obligated itself to
36
PUBFIN�' '"\�T21213653.3
exercise its option to redeem Bonds prior to their respective Maturity Dates . The Federal
Securities shall be non-callable and shall become due prior to the respective times at which the
proceeds thereof shall be needed, in accordance with a schedule established and agreed upon
between the City and such Trust Bank at the time of the creation of the escrow or trust, or the
Federal Securities shall be subject to redemption at the option of the Owner thereof to assure
such availability as so needed to meet such schedule. In the case of the 2010A DDA Taxable
Bonds, the City is obligated to contribute additional securities or monies to the escrow or trust if
necessary to provide sufficient amounts to satisfy the payment obligations on the 2010A DDA
Taxable Bonds . Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit a partial defeasance of the
Outstanding Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9 .
Section 10. Default Provisions and Remedies of Bond Owners.
A. Events of Default. Each of the following events is hereby declared to be
an Event of Default by the City:
( 1 ) Nonpayment of Principal. Payment of the principal of any of the
Bonds is not made when the same becomes due and payable, either at maturity or upon prior
redemption, or otherwise ;
(2) Nonpayment of Interest. Payment of any installment of interest on
any of the Bonds is not made when the same becomes due and payable;
(3 ) Incapacity to Perform. The City for any reason becomes incapable
of fulfilling its obligations hereunder;
(4) Nonperformance of Duties . The City shall have failed to carry out
and to perform (or in good faith to begin the performance of) all acts and things lawfully
required to be carried out to be performed by it under any contract relating to the Bonds or the
Pledged Revenues, or to all or any combination thereof, or otherwise including, without
limitation, this Ordinance, and such failure shall continue for sixty (60) days after receipt of
notice from the Owners of ten percent ( 10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then
Outstanding;
(5 ) Appointment of Receiver. An order or decree is entered by a court
of competent jurisdiction, with the consent or acquiescence of the City, appointing a receiver or
receivers for the Pledged Revenues and any other moneys subject to the lien to secure the
payment of the Bonds, or if any order or decree, having been entered without the consent or
acquiescence of the City, is not vacated or discharged or stayed on appeal within sixty (60) days
after entry;
(6) Default of Any Provision. The City makes any default in the due
and punctual performance of any other of the representations, covenants, conditions, agreements
and other provisions contained in the Bonds or in this Ordinance on its part to be performed, and
such default continues for sixty (60) days after written notice, specifying such default and
requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the City by the Owners of ten percent ( 10%) in
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding.
37
PUBFIN�' '"\�T21213653.3
B . Remedies for Defaults. Upon the happening and continuance of any Event
of Default, the Owner or Owners of not less than ten percent ( 10%) in aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, including, without limitation, a trustee or trustees
therefor, may proceed against the City and its agents, officers and employees to protect and to
enforce the rights of any Owner of Bonds under this Ordinance by mandatory injunction or by
other suit, action, or special proceedings in equity or at law, in any court of competent
jurisdiction, either for the appointment of a receiver or an operating trustee or for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or for any proper legal or equitable
remedy as such Owner or Owners may deem most effectual to protect and to enforce the
aforesaid rights, or thereby to enjoin any act that may be unlawful or in violation of any right of
any Owner of any Bond, or to require the City to act as if it were the trustee of an expressed
trust, or any combination of such remedies, or as otherwise may be authorized by any statute or
other provision of law. All such proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and
maintained for the equal benefit of all Owners of the Bonds and any Parity Securities then
Outstanding. Any receiver or operating trustee appointed in any proceedings to protect the rights
of such Owners hereunder, the consent to any such appointment being hereby expressly granted
by the City, may collect, receive and apply all Pledged Revenues arising after the appointment of
such receiver or operating trustee in the same manner as the City itself might do .
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other applicable provisions of law, no Event of Default
shall result in acceleration of any obligation of the City represented by the Bonds .
C . Rights and Privileges Cumulative . The failure of any Owner of any
Outstanding Bond to proceed in any manner herein provided shall not relieve the City, or any of
its officers, agents or employees of any liability for failure to perform or carry out any duty,
obligation or other commitment. Each right or privilege of any such Owner or any trustee
thereof is in addition and is cumulative to any other right or privilege, and the exercise of any
right or privilege by or on behalf of any Owner shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right
or privilege thereof. Each Owner of any Bond shall be entitled to all of the privileges, rights, and
remedies provided or permitted in this Ordinance and as otherwise provided or permitted by law
or in equity or by statute, and subject to the applicable provisions concerning the Pledged
Revenues and the proceeds of the Bonds . Nothing herein affects or impairs the right of any
Owner of any Bond to enforce the payment of the Debt Service Requirements due in connection
with his, her or its Bond or the obligation of the City to pay the Debt Service Requirements of
each Bond to the Owner thereof at the time and the place expressed in such Bond.
D . Duties Upon Defaults . Upon the happening of any of the Events of
Default as provided in Section 10A hereof, the City, in addition, shall do and perform all proper
acts on behalf of and for the Owners of the Outstanding Bonds to protect and to preserve the
security created for the payment of their Bonds and to insure the payment of the Debt Service
Requirements of the Bonds promptly as the same become due. During any period of default, so
long as any of the Bonds, as to any Debt Service Requirements, are Outstanding, except to the
extent it may be unlawful to do so, all Pledged Revenues shall be paid into the Tax Increment
Principal and Interest Account, or, in the event of securities hereafter or heretofore issued and
Outstanding during such period of time senior or subordinate to or on a parity with the Bonds,
shall be applied as provided in Section 5C and Section 5E hereof on an equitable and prorated
basis, and used for the purposes therein provided. If the City fails or refuses to proceed as in this
Section lOD provided, the Owner or Owners of not less than ten percent ( 10%) in principal
38
PUBFIN�' '"\�T21213653.3
amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, after demand in writing, may proceed to protect and to
enforce the rights of the Owners of the Bonds as hereinabove provided; and to that end any such
Owners of Outstanding Bonds shall be subrogated to all rights of the City under any agreement
or contract involving the Pledged Revenues entered into prior to the effective date of this
Ordinance or thereafter while any of the Bonds are Outstanding. Nothing herein requires the
City to proceed as provided herein if it determines in good faith and without any abuse of its
discretion that such action is likely materially and prejudicially to affect the Owners of the
Outstanding Bonds and any Outstanding Parity Securities .
E. Evidence of Security Owners. Any request, consent or other instrument
that this Ordinance may require or may permit to be signed and to be executed by the Owner of
any Bonds or other securities may be in one instrument or more than one instrument of similar
tenor and shall be signed or may be executed by each Owner in person or by his, her or its
attorney appointed in writing. Proof of the execution of any such instrument or of any
instrument appointing any such attorney, or the ownership by any Person of the securities, shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Ordinance (except as otherwise herein expressly provided) if
made in the following manner:
( 1 ) Proof of Execution. The fact and the date of the execution by any
Owner of any Bonds or other securities or his, her or its attorney of such instrument may be

to take acknowledgments of deeds to be recorded in the state in which he or she purports to act
that the individual signing such request or other instrument acknowledged to him or her the
execution, duly sworn to before such notary public or other officer; the authority of the
individual or individuals executing any such instrument on behalf of a corporate Owner of any
securities may be established without further proof if such instrument is signed by an individual
purporting to be the president or vice-president of such corporation with the corporate seal
affixed and attested by an individual purporting to be its secretary or an assistant secretary; and
the authority of any Person or Persons executing any such instrument in any fiduciary or
representative capacity may be established without further proof if such instrument is signed by a
Person or Persons purporting to act in such fiduciary or representative capacity; and
(2) Proof of Owners. The amount of Bonds owned by any Person
executing any instrument as an Owner of Bonds, and the numbers, dates and other identification
thereof, together with the dates of his ownership of the Bonds, shall be determined from the
registration books of the City. The amount of other securities, if applicable, owned by any
Person executing any instrument as an Owner of such securities, and the numbers, dates and
other identification thereof, together with the dates of his ownership, if in bearer form, may be
proved by a certificate, which need not be acknowledged or verified, in form satisfactory to the
City Clerk, executed by a member of a financial firm or by an officer of a bank or trust company,
insurance company or financial corporation or other depository satisfactory to the City Clerk, or
by any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be
recorded in the state in which he or she purports to act, showing at the date therein mentioned
that such Person exhibited to such member, officer, notary public or other officer so authorized
to take acknowledgments of deeds or had on deposit with such depository the securities
described in such certificate or if in registered form shall be determined from the related
39
PUBFIN�' '"\�T21213653.3
registration books ; but the City Clerk may nevertheless in his or her discretion require further or
other proof in cases where he or she deems the same advisable .
F . Warranty Issuance of Bonds . Any of the Bonds as herein provided, when
duly executed and registered for the purposes provided for in this Ordinance, shall constitute a
warranty by and on behalf of the City for the benefit of each and every future Owner of any of
the Bonds that the Bonds have been issued for a valuable consideration in full conformity with
law.
