E. Section 507 of Ordinance No. 11693 is hereby deleted
in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Section 507. Application of Money in Reserve Account.
An amount equal to the Reserve Requirement for the 1998 Bonds shall
be deposited. in the Reserve Account on the date of issuance of such
1998 Bonds. If Additional Bonds are issued, the Series Ordinance
relating to the same shall provide either for the deposit into the
Reserve Account of an amount that will cause the amount then on
deposit therein to equal the Reserve Requirement on all Bonds
Outstanding after the issuance of such Bonds or for monthly
deposits in accordance with the provisions in Section 503(d) of
this Ordinance. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu
of the required deposits into the Reserve Account, the City may
cause to be deposited a Reserve Product for the benefit of the
Bondholders in an amount equal to the difference between the
Reserve Account Requirement applicable thereto and the sums then on
deposit in the Reserve Account, if any. Such Reserve' Product shall
be payable to the Trustee (upon the giving of notice as required
thereunder) on any Interest Payment Date, maturity date or
redemption date on which a deficiency exists which cannot be cured
by funds in any other fund or account held pursuant to this
Ordinance and available for such purpose. The insurer providing
such Reserve Product shall either be (a) an insurer whose municipal
bond insurance policies insuring the payment, when due, of the
principal of and interest on municipal bond issues results in such
issues being rated in one of the two highest rating categories
(without regard to gradations, such as "plus" or "minus" of such
categories) by at least one nationally recognized securities rating
agency or (b) a commercial bank, insurance company or other
financial institution the bonds payable or guaranteed by which have
been assigned a rating by at least one nationally recognized
securities rating agency in one of the two highest rating
categories (without regard to gradations, such as "plus" or "minus"
of such categories). In addition, such Reserve Product shall be
for a term of not less than twelve (12) months and any
reimbursement agreement related thereto shall provide that the
12
11719
City's reimbursement obligation thereunder shall be subordinate to
the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Reserve Account has
been funded with cash or Investment Obligations and no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, the City
may, at any time in its discretion, substitute a Reserve Product
meeting the requirements of this Ordinance for the cash and
Investment Obligations, and the City may then withdraw such cash
and Investment Obligations and apply them to any lawful purpose, so
long as (i) the same does not adversely affect any rating by any
nationally recognized securities rating agency then in effect for
the Outstanding Bonds and (ii) the City obtains an opinion of Bond
Counsel that such actions will not, in and of themselves, adversely
affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds
(other than Taxable Bonds) for federal income tax purposes.
If a disbursement is made from a Reserve Product provided
hereunder, the City shall reinstate the maximum limits of such
Reserve Product following such disbursement from moneys available
hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Section 503(d), by
depositing funds in the amount of the disbursement made under such
instrument, with the issuer thereof, together with interest thereon
to the date of reimbursement at the rate set forth in such Reserve
Product, but in no case greater than the maximum rate of interest
permitted by law.
The City may evidence its obligation to reimburse the
issuer of any Reserve Product by executing and delivering to such
issuer a promissory note therefor, provided, however, any such note
(a) shall not be a general obligation of the City the payment of
which is secured by the full faith and credit or taxing power of
the City, and (b) shall be secured solely by and shall be payable
from the Net Revenues in the manner provided herein.
To the extent the City causes to be deposited into the
Reserve Account, a Reserve Product for a term of years shorter than
the life of the Series of Bonds so insured or secured or if such
Reserve Product is subject to termination prior to the maturity of
the Series of Bonds so insured, then the Reserve Product shall
provide, among other things, that the issuer thereof shall provide
the City with notice as of each anniversary of the date of the
issuance of the Reserve Product of the intention of the issuer
thereof to either (a) extend the term of the Reserve Product beyond
the expiration date thereof, or (b) terminate the Reserve Product
on the initial expiration dates thereof or such other future date
as the issuer thereof shall have established. If the issuer of the
Reserve Product notifies the City pursuant to clause (b) of the
immediately preceding sentence or if the City terminates the
Reserve Product or it otherwise terminates in accordance with its
terms, then the City shall (a) deposit into the Reserve Account, on
or prior to the fifteenth day of the first full calendar month
13
11719
following the date on which such notice is received by the City,
such sums as shall be sufficient to pay an amount equal to a
fraction, the numerator of which is one (1) and the denominator of
which is equal to the number of months remaining in the term of the
Reserve Product of the Reserve Requirement on the date such notice
was received (the maximum amount available, assuming full
reimbursement by the City, under the Reserve Product to be reduced
annually by an amount equal to the deposit to Reserve Account
during the previous twelve (12) month period) until amounts on
deposit in the Reserve Account, as a result of the aforementioned
deposits, and no later than upon the expiration of such Reserve
Product, shall be equal to the Reserve Requirement, and (b) on a
parity basis, shall reimburse the provider of the terminated
Reserve Product all amounts due and owing under the terms and
conditions of the reimbursement agreement between the City and such
provider.
If any Reserve Product shall not be renewed prior to the
stated expiration date thereof, the City agrees that it shall fund
the Reserve Account over a period not to exceed sixty (60) months
from the date of receipt of any notice of nonrenewal during which
it shall make consecutive equal monthly payments in order that the
amount on deposit in the Reserve Account at the end of such period
shall equal the Reserve Requirement; provided, the City may obtain
a new Reserve Product in lieu of making the payments required by
this paragraph.
The Trustee shall use amounts in the Reserve Account or
drawn on a Reserve Product to make transfers, in the following
order, to the Interest Account, the Principal Account and the
Sinking Fund Account to remedy any deficiency in any deposit
required to be made to said Accounts by Section 503 hereof or to
pay the interest on or the principal of (whether at maturity, by
acceleration or in satisfaction of the Sinking Fund Requirement
therefor) 'the Bonds when due, or to pay Qualified Derivative
Payments when due, whenever and to the extent that the money on
deposit in any or all -of said Accounts, together with transfers
thereto from the General Reserve Account and the Renewal and
Replacement Account, is insufficient for such purposes. The
Trustee shall also use amounts in the Reserve Account to pay the
interest on the Interest Payment Date next preceding the final
maturity of all Bonds Outstanding and the principal of and the
interest on such Bonds on the final maturity date of the same.
If at any time the value of the cash and Investment
Obligations held in the Reserve Account exceeds the Reserve
Requirement, the Trustee shall withdraw an amount equal to such
excess therefrom and shall deliver the same to the Department.
Upon receipt thereof the Chief Financial Officer shall deposit
(a) in the Renewal and Replacement Account the amount then required
to be paid thereto by the Department pursuant to Section 503 hereof
and (b) all remaining amounts in the General Reserve Account.
14
11719
Whenever the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is
less than the Reserve Requirement, the Trustee shall notify the
Director and the Chief Financial Officer of the amount of the
deficiency on notification immediately shall deliver to the Trustee
an amount sufficient to cure the same, drawing upon funds available
in the General Reserve Account and the Renewal and Replacement

Revenues, (b) their right to receive Net Revenues, and (c) the
money and Investment Obligations in any and all of the Funds and
Accounts established under this Ordinance and the income from such
Investment Obligations and the investment of such money. It is the
intent of the City and the Department 'that this pledge shall be
effective and operate immediately and that the Trustee shall have
the right to collect and receive said Net Revenues in accordance
with the provisions hereof at all times during the period from and
after the date of the Bonds issued hereunder until the Bonds have
been fully paid and discharged, including, without limitation, at
all times after the institution and during the pendency of
bankruptcy or similar proceedings.
The Bonds shall not constitute a debt of the City for
which the faith and credit of the City is pledged. The issuance of
the Bonds shall not directly or indirectly or contingently obligate
the City to levy any tax or pledge any form of taxation whatever
therefor. The Bonds shall not constitute a charge, lien or
encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the City,
except as provided in this Ordinance.
The aforementioned pledge shall not inhibit the sale or
disposition of the Parking System in accordance with this Ordinance
and shall not impair or restrict the ability of the Department to

provisions of this Ordinance.
G. Section 604 of Ordinance No. 11693 is hereby deleted

Section 604. Tax Covenant. It is the intention of the

gross income for federal income tax purposes and to this end the
City hereby represents to and covenants with each of the Holders of
the Bonds issued hereunder that are not Taxable Bonds that it will
comply with the requirements applicable to it contained in Section
103 and Part IV of Subchapter B of Subpart A of Chapter 1 of the
15
11719
0
Code to the extent necessary to preserve the exclusion of interest
on the Bonds issued hereunder that are not Taxable Bonds from gross
income for federal income tax purposes. Specifically, without
intending to limit in any way the generality of the foregoing, the
City covenants and agrees:
(1) to make or cause to be made all necessary
determinations and calculations of the Rebate Amount and
required payments of the Rebate Amount;
(2) to set aside sufficient moneys in the Rebate
Fund or elsewhere, from the Net Revenues or other legally
available funds of the City, to timely pay the Rebate
Amount to the United States of America;
(3) to pay the Rebate Amount to the United States
of America from the Net Revenues or from any other
legally available funds, at the times and to the extent
required pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code;
(4) to maintain and retain all records pertaining
to the Rebate Amount with respect to the Bonds that are
not Taxable Bonds issued hereunder and required payments
of the Rebate Amount with respect to the Bonds that are
not Taxable Bonds for at least six years after the final
maturity of the Bonds that are not Taxable Bonds or such
other period as shall be necessary to comply with the
Code;
. (5) to refrain from taking any action that would
cause any Bonds or any Series or portion thereof issued
hereunder, other than Taxable Bonds and bonds issued with
the intent that they shall constitute "private activity
bonds" under Section 141 (a) of the Code, to be classified
as "private activity bonds" under Section 141(a) of the
Code; and
(6) to refrain from taking any action that would
cause the Bonds that are not Taxable Bonds issued
hereunder to become arbitrage bonds under Section 148 of
the Code.
The City understands that the foregoing covenants impose
continuing obligations of the City with respect to any Series of
Bonds that are not Taxable Bonds that will exist as long as the
requirements of Section 103 and Part IV of Subchapter B of Subpart
A of Chapter 1 of the Code are applicable to such Series of Bonds.
With respect to any Series of Bonds that are not Taxable
Bonds, if any amount shall remain in the Rebate Fund after payment
in full of such Series of Bonds and after payment in full of the
Rebate Amount to the United States of America with respect to such
16
11719
Series of Bonds, such amount shall be available to the City for any
lawful purpose.
The Rebate Fund shall be held separate and apart from all
other funds and accounts of the County, shall not be impressed with
a lien in favor of the Bondholders and shall be available for use
only as provided in this Ordinance and the Code.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance,
including, in particular Article XII hereof, the obligation of the

to comply with the other requirements of this Section shall survive
the defeasance or payment in full of any Series of Bonds that are

Investment Obligations held in the Funds and Accounts created
hereunder and the income from such Investment Obligations and.the
investment of such money. The Bonds shall be secured as provided
in Section 515 of this Ordinance. The Bonds shall not constitute
a debt of the City for which the full faith and credit of the City
is pledged. The issuance of the Bonds shall not directly or
indirectly or contingently obligate the City to levy any tax or to
pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor. The Bonds shall not
constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon
any property of the City, except as provided in this Ordinance.

added and shall read as follows:
