shall be allocated to LID No. 339.
Section 4. Registration and Transfer of Bonds. The Bonds
shall be issued only in registered form as to both principal and
interest and shall be recorded on books or records maintained by

0076502.01
-3-
contain the name and mailing address of the owner of each Bond and
the principal amount and number of each of the Bonds held by each
owner.
Bonds may be transferred only if endorsed in the manner
provided thereon and surrendered to the Bond Registrar. The
transfer of a Bond shall be by the Bond Registrar's receiving the
Bond to be transferred, cancelling it and issuing a new certificate
in the form of the Bonds to the transferee after registering the
name and address of the transferee on the Bond Register. The new
certificate shall bear the same Bond number as the transferred Bond
but may have a different inventory reference number or control
number. Any exchange or transfer shall be without cost to the
owner or transferee.
Section 5. Payment of Bonds. Both principal of and interest
on the Bonds shall be payable solely out of the Bond Fund and from
the Local Improvement Guaranty Fund of the City, and shall be
payable in lawful money of the United States of America. Interest
on the Bonds shall be paid by checks or drafts mailed to the
registered owners on the interest payment date at the addresses
appearing on the Bond Register on the 15th day of the month
preceding the interest payment date. Principal of the Bonds shall
be payable upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds by the
registered owners at either of the principal offices of the Bond
Registrar at the option of the owners.
Section 6. Redemption Provisions. The City reserves the
right to redeem the Bonds prior to their stated maturity on any
interest payment date, in numerical order, lowest numbers first, at
par plus accrued interest, whenever there shall be sufficient money
0076502.01
-4-
in the Bond Fund to pay the Bonds so called and all earlier
numbered Bonds over and above the amount required for the payment
of the interest on all unpaid Bonds, by mailing, not less than 15
nor more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption,
notice of such redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to
the registered owner of any Bond to be redeemed at the address
appearing on the Bond Register at the time the Bond Registrar
prepares the notice. The requirements of this section shall be
deemed to have been fulfilled when notice has been mailed as so
provided whether or not it is actually received by the owner of any
Bond. Interest on Bonds called for redemption shall cease to
accrue on the date fixed for redemption unless the Bond or Bonds
called are not redeemed when presented pursuant to the call.
Section 7. Form and Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be
printed, lithographed or typed on good bond paper in a form
consistent with the provisions of this ordinance and state law,
shall be signed by the Mayor and City Clerk, either or both of
whose signatures may be manual or in facsimile, and the seal of the
City or a facsimile reproduction thereof shall be impressed or
printed thereon.
Only Bonds bearing a Certificate of Authentication in the
following form, manually signed by the Bond Registrar, shall be
valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the benefits of
this ordinance:

WASHINGTON STATE FISCAL AGENCY
Bond Registrar
By
Authorized Signer
The authorized signing of a Certificate of Authentication shall be
conclusive evidence that the Bonds so authenticated have been duly
executed, authenticated and delivered and are entitled to the
benefits of this ordinance.
If any officer whose facsimile signature appears on the Bonds
ceases to be an officer of the City authorized to sign bonds before
the Bonds bearing his or her facsimile signature are authenticated
or delivered by the Bond Registrar or issued by the City, those
Bonds nevertheless may be authenticated, issued and delivered and,
when authenticated, issued and delivered, shall be as binding on
the City as though that person had continued to be an officer of
the City authorized to sign bonds. Any Bond also may be signed on
behalf of the City by any person who, on the actual date of signing
of the Bond, is an officer of the City authorized to sign bonds,
although he or she did not hold the required office on the date of
issuance of the Bond.
Section 8. Bond Registrar. The Bond Registrar shall keep, or
cause to be kept, at its principal corporate trust office,
sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds
which shall be open to inspection by the City at all times. The
Bond Registrar is authorized, on behalf of the City, to
authenticate and deliver Bonds transferred or exchanged in
accordance with the provisions of the Bonds and this ordinance, to
serve as the City's paying agent for the Bonds and to carry out all
of the Bond Registrar's powers and duties under this ordinance and
0076502.01
-6-
City ordinance No. 2418 establishing a system of registration for
the City's bonds and obligations.
The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its
representations contained in the Bond Registrar's Certificate of
Authentication on the Bonds. The Bond Registrar may become the
owner of Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not
the Bond Registrar and, to the extent permitted by law, may act as
depository for and permit any of its officers or directors to act
as members of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any
committee formed to protect the rights of Bond owners.
Section 9. Bonds Negotiable. The Bonds shall be negotiable
instruments to the extent provided by RCW 62A.8-102 and 62A.8-105.
Section 10. Preservation of Tax Exemption for Interest on
Bonds. The City covenants that it will take all actions necessary
to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included in gross
income for federal income tax purposes, and it will neither take
any action nor make or permit any use of proceeds of the Bonds or
other funds of the City treated as proceeds of the Bonds at any
time during the term of the Bonds which will cause interest on the
Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax
purposes. The City also covenants that it will, to the extent
arbitrage rebate requirements of Section 148 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), are applicable to
the Bonds, take all actions necessary to comply (or to be treated
as having complied) with those requirements in connection with the
Bonds, including the calculation and payment of any penalties that
the City has elected to pay as an alternative to calculating
rebatable arbitrage, and the payment of any other penalties if
0076502.01
-7-
required under Section 148 of the Code to prevent interest on the
Bonds from being included in gross income for federal income tax
purposes. The City certifies that it has not been notified of any
listing or proposed listing by the Internal Revenue Service to the
effect that it is a bond issuer whose arbitrage certifications may
not be relied upon.
Section 11. Approval of Bond Purchase Contract. Lehman
Brothers Division of Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. of Seattle,
Washington, has presented a purchase contract (the "Bond Purchase
Contract") to the City offering to purchase the Bonds under the
terms and conditions provided in the Bond Purchase Contract, which
written Bond Purchase Contract is on file with the City Clerk and
is incorporated herein by this reference. The City Council finds
that entering into the Bond Purchase Contract is in the City's best
interest and therefore accepts the offer contained therein and
authorizes its execution by City officials.
The Bonds will be printed at City expense and will be
delivered to the purchaser in accordance with the Bond Purchase
Contract, with the approving legal opinion of Foster Pepper &
Shefelman, municipal bond counsel of Seattle, Washington, regarding
the Bonds printed on each Bond. Except as provided in the Bond
Purchase Contract, bond counsel shall not be required to review and
shall express no opinion concerning the completeness or accuracy of
any official statement, offering circular or other sales material
issued or used in connection with the Bonds, and bond counsel's
opinion shall so state.
The proper City officials are authorized and directed to do
everything necessary for the prompt delivery of the Bonds to the
0076502.01
-8-
purchaser, including without limitation the execution of the
Official Statement on behalf of the City, and for the proper
application and use of the proceeds of the sale thereof.
