If any Bond is not redeemed upon proper presentment at its
maturity or call date, the City shall be obligated to pay
interest at the same rate for each such Bond from and after its
maturity or call date until such Bond, both principal and
interest, is paid in full or until sufficient money for such
payment in full is on deposit in the Limited Tax General
Obligation Refunding Bond Fund, 1986 (the "Bond Fund"), and such
Bond has been called for payment.
Upon surrender thereof to the Bond Registrar, Bonds may be
exchanged for Bonds in any authorized denomination of an equal
aggregate principal amount and of the same interest rate and
maturity. Bonds may be transferred only if endorsed in the
manner provided thereon and surrendered to the Bond Registrar.
Such exchange or transfer shall be without cost to the owner or
transferee. The Bond Registrar shall not be required to
exchange or transfer any Bond during the fifteen days preceeding
any principal payment or redemption date.
The Bonds shall be issued only in registered form as to
both principal and interest and recorded in the books and
records maintained by the Bond Registrar (the "Bond Register").
The Bond Register shall contain the name and mailing address of
- 4 -
the owner of each Bond and the principal amount and number of
Bonds held by each owner.
Both principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be
payable in lawful money of the United States of America.
Interest on the Bonds shall be paid by check or draft mailed to
the registered owners at the addresses appearing on the Bond
Register on the fifteenth day of the month preceding the inter-
est payment date or, when requested in writing by a registered
owner of at least $100,000 par value of Bonds and approved by
the City Finance Director, shall be paid on the interest payment
date by wire transfer to the account identified by the request-
ing registered owner whose name, address and wire transfer
account number appear on the Bond Register fifteen days preced-
ing the interest payment date. Principal of the Bonds shall be
payable upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds by the
registered owners at either office of the Bond Registrar, in
Seattle, Washington, and New York, New York, at the option of
such owners.
Bonds maturing in the years 1986 through 1995 shall be
issued without the right or option of the City to redeem the
same prior to their stated maturity dates. The City reserves
the right and option to redeem the Bonds maturing in the years
1996 through 2004, as a whole, or in part in inverse order of
maturity (and by lot within a maturity in such manner as the
Bond Registrar shall determine), on December 1, 1995, or on any
semiannual interest payment date thereafter, at par plus accrued
interest to the date of redemption. Portions of the principal
amount of any Bond, in installments of $5,000 or any integral
multiple of $5,000, may be redeemed. If less than all of the
principal amount of any Bond is redeemed, upon surrender of such
Bond at the principal office of the Bond Registrar, there shall
be issued to the registered owner, without charge therefor, a
MM
new Bond or Bonds, at the option of the registered owner, of
like maturity and interest rate in any of the denominations
authorized by this ordinance.
Notice of any such intended redemption shall be given not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the regis-
tered owner of any Bond to be redeemed at the address appearing
on the Bond Register. The requirements of this section shall be
deemed to be complied with when notice is mailed as herein
provided, whether or not it is actually received by the owner of
any Bond. The interest on the Bonds so called for redemption
shall cease on the date fixed for redemption unless such Bond or
Bonds so called are not redeemed upon presentation made pursuant
to such call. In addition, such redemption notice shall be
mailed within the same period, postage prepaid, to Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., and Standard & Poor's Corporation, at
their offices in New York, New York, or their successors, and to
Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc., Foster & Marshall Division, at
its principal office in Seattle, Washington, or its successor,
but such mailings shall not be a condition precedent to the
redemption of such Bonds.
The City further reserves the right to purchase any or all
of the Bonds in the open market at any price not in excess of
par plus accrued interest to the date of such purchase.
Section 4. The City irrevocably pledges to levy taxes
annually, for as long as any of the Bonds is outstanding, within
the constitutional and statutory tax limitations provided by law
without a vote of the electors of the City, upon all property in
the City subject to taxation in an amount sufficient, together
with other money legally available and to be used therefor, to
pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same shall
become due, and the full faith, credit and resources of the City
- 6 -
are pledged irrevocably for the annual levy and collection of
those taxes and the prompt payment of that principal and
interest.
Section 5. The Bonds shall be printed or lithographed 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, both of whose signatures shall be in facsimile, and a
facsimile reproduction of the seal of the City shall be printed
thereon.
Only such Bonds as shall bear thereon a Certificate of
Authentication in the following form, manually executed by the
Bond Registrar, shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or
entitled to the benefits of this ordinance:
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION
This bond is one of the fully registered City of
Kent, Washington, Limited Tax General Obligation
Refunding Bonds, 1986, described in the within
mentioned Bond Ordinance.
WASHINGTON STATE FISCAL AGENCY
Bond Registrar
By
Authorized Officer
Such Certificate of Authentication shall be conclusive evidence
that the Bonds so authenticated have been duly executed, authen-
ticated and delivered hereunder and are entitled to the benefits
of this ordinance.
In case either or both of the officers who shall have
executed the Bonds shall cease to be such officer or officers of
the City before the Bonds so signed shall have been authenti-
cated or delivered by the Bond Registrar or issued by the City,
such Bonds nevertheless may be authenticated, delivered and
issued and upon such authentication, delivery and issue, shall
be as binding upon the City as though those whose facsimile
signatures appear on the Bonds had continued to be such officers
- 7 -
of the City. Any Bond also may be signed on behalf of the City
by such persons as at the actual date of execution of such Bond
shall be proper officers of the City authorized to execute Bonds
although on the original date of such Bond such persons were not
such officers of the City.
Section 6. 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 at
all times be open to inspection by the City.
The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its representa-
tions contained in the 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
depositary 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 7. The Bonds shall be negotiable instruments to
the extent provided by RCW 62A.8-102 and 62A.8-105.
Section 8. The Bond Fund is created and established in the
office of the City Finance Director. The proceeds of the sale
of the Bonds, exclusive of the accrued interest thereon which
shall be paid into the Bond Fund, shall be used immediately upon
the receipt thereof to discharge to the extent practicable the
obligations of the City for the 1984 Bonds, under Ordinance No.
2500 authorizing the 1984 Bonds, by providing for the payment of
the amounts required to be paid by the Refunding Plan. To the
extent practicable, the City shall discharge fully such obliga-
tions by the purchase of United States Treasury Certificates of
Indebtedness, Notes and/or Bonds - State and Local Government
Series and other direct obligations of the United States of
America (the "Acquired Obligations"), bearing such interest and
Mt=
maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at
such times so as to provide, together with a beginning cash
balance, for the payment of the amounts required to be paid by
the Refunding Plan.
The Acquired Obligations are more particularly described
and are set forth in Schedule A attached to the Refunding Trust
Agreement hereinafter referred to and attached hereto as
Exhibit A.
The Acquired Obligations and beginning cash balance shall
be deposited irrevocably with Rainier National Bank (the
"Refunding Trustee"). Prior to such deposit, the City reserves
the right to substitute other direct United States obligations
for any of the Acquired Obligations and to use any savings
created thereby for any lawful City purpose if, in the opinion
of Roberts & Shefelman, the City's bond counsel, the Bonds will
remain exempt from federal income taxation under Section 103(c)
of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended,
and applicable regulations thereunder, and if such substitution
shall not impair the timely payment of the amounts required to
be paid by the Refunding Plan.
After the deposit of the Acquired Obligations and the
beginning cash balance with the Refunding Trustee, the City
reserves the right to substitute therefor cash or direct
obligations of the United States of America, subject to the
conditions that such money or securities held by the Refunding
Trustee shall be sufficient to make all payments required by the
Refunding Plan when due, that such substitution will not cause
the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section
103c of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and
regulations thereunder in effect on the date of such substitu-
tion and applicable to obligations issued on the issue date of
the Bonds, and that the City obtain, at its expense: (1) an
- 9 -
independent verification by a nationally recognized independent
certified public accounting firm acceptable to the Refunding
Trustee concerning the adequacy of such substituted securities
with respect to the principal of and the interest thereon and
any other money or securities held for such purpose to carry out
the Refunding Plan, making all required payments at the times
provided; and (2) an opinion from Roberts & Shefelman, bond
counsel to the City, or other nationally recognized bond
counsel, to the effect that the disposition and substitution or
purchase of such securities will not, under the statutes, rules
and regulations then in force and applicable to the Bonds, cause
the interest on the Bonds not to be exempt from federal income
taxation and that such disposition and substitution or purchase
is in compliance with the statutes and regulations applicable to
the Bonds. Any surplus money resulting from the sale, transfer,
other disposition or redemption of the Acquired Obligations and
the substitutions therefor of direct obligations of the United
States of America shall be released from the trust estate and
transferred to the City to be used for any lawful City purpose.
The Refunding Trustee is authorized and directed to make
the payments required to be made by the Refunding Plan from the
Acquired Obligations and money deposited with the Refunding
Trustee pursuant to this ordinance. All Acquired Obligations
and the money deposited with the Refunding Trustee and any
income therefrom shall be held, invested and applied in accord-
ance with the provisions of Ordinance No. 2500, this ordinance,
Chapter 39.53 RCW and other applicable statutes of the State of
Washington.
All necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of
the Refunding Trustee for the Bonds and all other costs
incidental to the setting up of the escrow to accomplish the
refunding of the 1984 Bonds and costs related to the issuance
Vii=
and delivery of the Bonds, including bond printing, rating
service fees, bond counsel's fees and other related expenses
shall be paid out of the proceeds of the Bonds.
In order to carry out the purposes of this ordinance, the
Mayor and City Clerk of the City are authorized and directed to
execute and deliver to the Refunding Trustee a Refunding Trust
Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto marked
Exhibit A and by this reference made a part hereof, setting
forth the duties, obligations and responsibilities of the
Refunding Trustee in connection with carrying out the Refunding
Plan as provided herein and stating that such provisions for the
payment of the fees, compensation and expenses of such Refunding
Trustee are satisfactory to it.
Section 9. The City calls for redemption on December 1,
1994, all of the outstanding 1984 Bonds, maturing on December 1
of each of the years 1995 through 2004, at par plus accrued
interest to the date of such redemption.
Such call for redemption shall be irrevocable after the
delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser thereof.
The City Finance Director and the Refunding Trustee are
authorized and directed to give notice of the redemption of the
1984 Bonds in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No.
2500.
Section 10. The City Council finds and determines that the
issuance and sale of the Bonds at this time will effect a saving
to the City and its taxpayers and is in the best interest of the
City and in the public interest. In making such finding and
determination, the City Council has given consideration to the
fixed maturities of the Bonds and the 1984 Bonds, the costs of
issuance of the Bonds and the known earned income from the
investment of the proceeds of sale of the Bonds and other money
of the City used in the Refunding Plan pending payment and
redemption of the 1984 Bonds.
The City Council further finds and determines that the
money and Acquired Obligations to be deposited with the
Refunding Trustee for the 1984 Bonds in accordance with
Section 8 of this ordinance will discharge and satisfy the
obligations of the City under Ordinance No. 2500 with respect to
the 1984 Bonds and the pledges, charges, trusts, covenants and
agreements of the City therein made or provided for as to the
1984 Bonds and that the 1984 Bonds shall no longer be deemed to
be outstanding under such ordinance immediately upon the deposit
of such money and Acquired Obligations with the Refunding
Trustee.
Section 11. The City will not take or permit to be taken
on its behalf any action which would adversely affect the
exemption from federal income taxation of the interest on the
Bonds and will take or require to be taken such acts as may
reasonably be within its ability and as may from time to time be
required under applicable law to continue the exemption from
federal income taxation of the interest on the Bonds. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except to the
extent the investment of any Bond proceeds is limited to a yield
required to comply with federal arbitrage regulations, the City
will spend the proceeds of the Bonds with due diligence to
completion of the purpose specified herein and will not invest
or make other use of the proceeds of the Bonds or of its other
money at any time during the term of the Bonds which, if such
use had been reasonably expected at the date that the Bonds are
issued, would have caused such Bonds to be arbitrage bonds
within the meaning of Section 103(c) of the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and applicable
regulations thereunder.
- 12 -
In addition, if future federal laws or regulations require
the payment of any federal tax or rebate by the City or the
observing by the City of any other requirement to maintain the
exemption from federal income taxation of the interest on the
Bonds, the City shall make any such payment and observe any such
requirement to the extent permitted by law.
The City has not been notified of any listing or proposed
listing by the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the
City is a bond issuer whose arbitrage certifications may not be
relied upon.
Section 12. In the event the City shall issue advance
refunding bonds pursuant to the laws of the State of Washington,
or have money available from any other lawful source, to pay the
principal of and interest on the Bonds or such portion thereof
included in the refunding plan as the same become due and
payable and to refund all such then outstanding Bonds and to pay
the costs of refunding, and shall have set aside irrevocably in
a special fund for and pledged to such payment and refunding
money and/or direct obligations of the United States of America
or other legal investments sufficient in amount, together with
known earned income from the investments thereof, to make such
payments and to accomplish the refunding as scheduled (herein-
after called the "trust account"), and shall make irrevocable
provision for redemption of such Bonds, then in that case all
right and interest of the owners of the Bonds to be so retired
or refunded (hereinafter collectively called the "defeased
Bonds") in the covenants of this ordinance and, except as
hereinafter provided, in the funds and accounts obligated to the
payment of such Bonds shall thereafter cease and become void.
Such owners shall thereafter have the right to receive payment
of the principal of and interest on the defeased Bonds from the
trust account and, in the event the funds in the trust account
- 13 -
are not available for such payment, shall have the right to
receive payment of the principal of and interest on the defeased
Bonds from the funds and accounts obligated to the payment of
such Bonds. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the pledge of the full faith and credit of the City to the
payment of the Bonds shall remain in full force and effect after
the establishing and full funding of such trust account.
Subject to the rights of the owners of Bonds, the City may then
apply any money in any other fund or account established for the
payment or redemption of the defeased Bonds to any lawful
purposes as it shall determine.
Section 13. Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc., Foster &
Marshall Division, of Seattle, Washington, has presented a
Purchase Contract (the "Purchase Contract") to the City under
which Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc., Foster & Marshall Division,
has offered to purchase the Bonds under the terms and conditions
provided in the Purchase Contract and to purchase on behalf of
the City the Acquired Obligations at the prices specified in
Schedule A of Exhibit A (subject to substitution), which written
Purchase Contract is on file with the City Clerk and is
incorporated herein by this reference. The City Council, having
found that it was in the best interest of the City to enter into
the Purchase Contract, accepted the offer contained in the
Purchase Contract on May 12, 1986, and such acceptance is
ratified and confirmed.
The Bonds will be printed at City expense and will be
delivered to the purchaser in accordance with the Purchase
Contract, with the approving legal opinion of Roberts &
Shefelman, municipal bond counsel of Seattle, Washington,
relative to the issuance of the Bonds, printed on each Bond.
Bond counsel shall not be required to review or express any
opinion concerning the completeness or accuracy of any official
- 14 -
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
purchaser and for the proper application and use of the proceeds
of the sale thereof.
Section 14. This ordinance shall take effect and be in
force five (5) days from and after the passage, approval and
publication as provided bylaw.

Exhibit A
REFUNDING TRUST AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into as of the 5th day of
June, 1986, by and between the CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON (the
"City"), a municipal corporation, and RAINIER NATIONAL BANK,
Seattle, Washington (the "Refunding Trustee");
W I T N E S S E T H:
SECTION 1. Recitals. The City has outstanding $7,930,000
Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, 1984, maturing serially on
December 1 of each of the years 1986 through 2004, inclusive,
and having various interest rates from 9.5% to 11.625% per annum
(the "1984 Bonds"), and, pursuant to Ordinance No. (the
"Refunding Bond Ordinance") of the City, the City has determined
to pay the principal of and interest on the 1984 Bonds as the
same shall become due up to and including December 1, 1994, and,
on December 1, 1994, to call, pay and redeem all of the out-
standing 1984 Bonds at par plus accrued interest (the "Refunding
Plan") out of the proceeds of the sale of its Limited Tax
General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 1986 (the "Refunding Bonds").
SECTION 2. Provisions for Refunding the 1984 Bonds. To
carry out the Refunding Plan, the City, simultaneously with the
delivery of the Refunding Bonds issued pursuant to the Refunding
Bond Ordinance, agrees to deposit irrevocably with the Refunding
Trustee in trust for the security and benefit of the owners of
the outstanding 1984 Bonds and the Refunding Bonds, the amount
of $100 in cash and certain United States Treasury Certificates
of Indebtedness, Notes and/or Bonds - State and Local Government
Series ("SLGS") and other direct obligations of the United
States of America with amounts, interest rates and maturities as
more particularly set forth in Schedule A attached to this
Agreement and by this reference incorporated herein, which
securities hereinafter are referred to as Acquired Obligations.
Such cash and Acquired Obligations, with the investment income
therefrom, will be sufficient to provide the funds required to
carry out the Refunding Plan.
Prior to the deposit of any such Acquired Obligations, the
City reserves the right as hereinafter provided to substitute
other direct United States obligations for any of the Acquired
Obligations if (a) in the opinion of Roberts & Shefelman, bond
counsel for the City, the Refunding Bonds will remain exempt
from federal income taxation under Section 103(c) of the United
States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and applicable
regulations thereunder, and (b) such substitution shall not
impair the timely payment of the amounts required to be paid
under the Refunding Plan.
SECTION 3. Provisions Applicable to Refunding. On or
before the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, the City agrees that
it will cause to be delivered to the Refunding Trustee a state-
ment setting forth the amount of principal and interest to be
paid on each semiannual interest payment date and principal and
- 2 -
interest to be paid on the call date in carrying out the
Refunding Plan.
In the Refunding Bond Ordinance, the City irrevocably has
called for redemption or prepayment all of the outstanding 1984
Bonds to be called as above set forth on their call date. Such
call for redemption or prepayment shall be irrevocable upon the
delivery of the Refunding Bonds. The Refunding Trustee, in
conjunction with the City Finance Director, shall provide for
publication and mailing of the proper notices of such redemp-
tions or prepayments in accordance with the applicable provi-
sions of Ordinance No. 2500 with respect to the 1984 Bonds.
Irrevocable provision for the giving of such notices of
redemption or prepayment has been made by the City.
SECTION 4. Disbursements by Refunding Trustee. The
Refunding Trustee shall present for payment on the due date
thereof the Acquired Obligations so deposited and shall apply
the proceeds derived therefrom in accordance with the provisions
of this section.
Money shall be transferred by the Refunding Trustee to
either fiscal agency of the State of Washington in Seattle,
Washington, or New York, New York (the "Fiscal Agent"), in
amounts sufficient to pay, when due, the amounts required to be
paid by the Refunding Plan.
SECTION 5. Restrictions on Reinvestment of Funds; Custody
and Safekeeping of Acquired Obligations. All money deposited
with the Refunding Trustee or received by the Refunding Trustee
- 3 -
as maturing principal or interest on Acquired Obligations prior
to the time required to make the payments hereinbefore set forth
shall be reinvested in SLGS bearing interest at a rate of 0%.
Subscriptions for the purchase of such obligations shall be
filed with the Federal Reserve Bank at least 20 days (but not
more than 60 days) prior to the actual date of purchase, or at
such time as may be required by the then applicable rules and
regulations relating to the purchase of such obligations.
All income derived from the Acquired Obligations and any
money deposited with the Refunding Trustee pursuant to Section 2
hereof in the hands of the Refunding Trustee, which money is not
required to make the payments hereinbefore required to be made,
shall be paid to the City Finance Director for the credit of the
Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bond Fund, 1986, of the
City (the "Bond Fund") as and when realized and collected for
use and application as other money deposited in such Bond Fund.
For as long as any of the 1984 Bonds are outstanding,
semiannually on or before the 10th day of each July and January,
commencing with the month of January, 1987, the Refunding
Trustee shall render a statement as of the last day of the
preceding month to the City Finance Director, which statement
shall set forth the Acquired Obligations which have matured and
the amounts received by the Refunding Trustee by reason of such
maturity, the investment income received from such Acquired
Obligations, the amounts paid to the City Finance Director for
the payments required to be made by the Refunding Plan, and any
- 4 -
other transactions of the Refunding Trustee pertaining to its
duties and obligations as set forth herein.
All Acquired Obligations, money and investment income
deposited with or received by the Refunding Trustee pursuant to
this Agreement shall be subject to the trust created by this
Agreement and the Refunding Trustee shall be liable for the
preservation and safekeeping thereof.
SECTION 6. Substituted Securities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, at the
request of the City and upon compliance with the conditions
hereinafter stated, the Refunding Trustee shall have the power
to and shall, in simultaneous transactions, sell, transfer,
otherwise dispose of or request the redemption of any or all of
the Acquired Obligations held hereunder and to substitute
therefor cash or direct obligations of the United States of
America, subject to the conditions that such money or securities
held by the Refunding Trustee shall be sufficient to carry out
the Refunding Plan, making all required payments at the times
provided. The City covenants and agrees that it will not
request the Refunding Trustee to exercise any of the powers
described in the preceding sentence in any manner which will
cause the Refunding Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the
meaning of Section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954,
as amended, and the regulations thereunder in effect on the date
of such request and applicable to obligations issued on the
issue date of the Refunding Bonds. The Refunding Trustee shall
- 5 -
purchase such substituted securities with the proceeds derived
from the maturity, sale, transfer, disposition or redemption of
the Acquired Obligations held hereunder or from other money
available. The transactions may be effected only if there shall
have been obtained at the expense of the City: (1) an
independent verification by a nationally recognized independent
certified public accounting firm acceptable to the Refunding
Trustee concerning the adequacy of such substituted securities
with respect to the principal of and the interest thereon and
any other money or securities held for such purpose to carry out
the Refunding Plan, making all required payments at the times
provided; and (2) an opinion from Roberts & Shefelman, bond
counsel to the City, or other nationally recognized bond
counsel, to the effect that the disposition and substitution or
purchase of such securities will not, under the statutes, rules
and regulations then in force and applicable to the Refunding
Bonds, cause the interest on the Refunding Bonds not to be
exempt from federal income taxation and that such disposition
and substitution or purchase is not inconsistent with the
statutes and regulations applicable to the Refunding Bonds. Any
surplus money resulting from the sale, transfer, other disposi-
tion or redemption of the Acquired Obligations held hereunder
and the substitutions therefor of direct obligations of the
United States of America shall be released from the trust estate
and shall be transferred to the City to be used for any lawful
City purpose.
SECTION 7. Duties and Obligations of Refunding Trustee.
The duties and obligations of the Refunding Trustee shall be as
prescribed by the provisions of this Agreement, and the
Refunding Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
of its duties and obligations as specifically set forth herein
and to act in good faith in the performance thereof and no
implied duties or obligations shall be incurred by such
Refunding Trustee other than those specified herein.
The Refunding Trustee may consult with counsel of its
choice (except as provided below) and the opinion of such
counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
in respect of any action taken or not taken or suffered by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of
such counsel. For any questions relating to the tax exempt
status of the 1984 Bonds or the Refunding Bonds, the Refunding
Trustee must consult with Roberts & Shefelman, bond counsel to
the City.
Provisions for the fees, compensation and expenses of the
Refunding Trustee satisfactory to it have been made.
