destroyed, without surrender thereof.
Any such duplicate Series 2026 Bonds issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
original, additional contractual obligations on the part of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Series 2026 Bonds be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate Series
2026 Bonds shall be entitled to equal and proportionate benefits and rights as to lien on and

continuation of the requirement that all of the Outstanding Series 2026 Bonds be registered in
the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, is
not in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the Series 2026 Bonds or (ii) to the effect that
DTC is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities and no substitute depository willing to
undertake the functions of DTC hereunder can be found which is willing and able to undertake
such functions upon reasonable and customary terms, (b) termination, for any reason, of the
agreement among the Issuer, the Registrar and Paying Agent and DTC evidenced by the BLoR,
or (c) determination by the Issuer that such book-entry only system should be discontinued by
the Issuer, and compliance with the requirements of any agreement between the Issuer and
DTC with respect thereto, the Series 2026 Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being
registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, but may be registered in whatever name or names Owners shall designate, in
accordance with the provisions hereof. In such event, the Issuer shall issue and the Registrar
shall authenticate, transfer and exchange Series 2026 Bonds consistent with the terms hereof,
in denominations of $100,000 or any integral multiple thereof to the Owners thereof. The
foregoing notwithstanding, until such time as participation in the book-entry only system is
discontinued, the provisions set forth in the BLoR shall apply to the registration and transfer of
the Series 2026 Bonds and to Payments and Notices with respect thereto.

(B) The Issuer hereby covenants that it will establish a fund to be known as the
shall be deposited in the Project Fund which shall be used only for the payment of the cost of
the Project. Moneys in the Project Fund until applied in payment of any item of the cost of the
Project, shall be held in trust by the Issuer and shall be subject to the lien and charge in favor of
the Owners, and for the further security of the Owners. Interest on such monies shall accrue to
the benefit of the Issuer and may be used for costs of the Project or interest payments on the
Series 2026 Bonds.

funds for the purposes provided herein for such funds. All of such funds, except as hereinafter
provided, shall be continuously secured in the same manner as municipal deposits of funds are
required to be secured by the laws of the State. Moneys on deposit to the credit of all funds and
accounts created hereunder may be invested pursuant to applicable law and the Issuer's
investment policy and shall mature no later than the dates on which such moneys shall be
needed to make payments in the manner herein provided. The securities so purchased as an
investment of funds shall be deemed at all times to be a part of the account from which the said
investment was withdrawn, and the interest accruing thereon and any profit realized therefrom
shall be credited to such fund or account, except as expressly provided in this Resolution, and
any loss resulting from such investment shall likewise be charged to said fund or account.

and upon such deposit shall be subject to the pledge and lien of this Resolution pursuant to

Revenues shall be timely transferred from the Omni Revenue Bond Trust Fund Account and

(A) First, by deposit into the Debt Service Account an amount which, together with
other amounts deposited therein will be equal to the Debt Service Requirement coming due
during the then-current Bond Year with respect to the Series 2026 Bonds and Additional Bonds,
until there are sufficient funds then on deposit equal to the sum of the interest, principal and
redemption payments due, respectively, on the Series 2026 Bonds and Additional Bonds, on the
interest and principal payment dates and redemption dates in such Bond Year.
Deposits shall be increased or decreased to the extent required to pay principal, interest
and redemption premiums next becoming due, after making allowance for any accrued and
capitalized interest, and to make up any deficiency or loss that may otherwise arise in such fund
or accounts.
Moneys on deposit in the Debt Service Account shall be used solely for the payment of
the interest on and the principal of and any redemption premiums required with respect to the
Series 2026 Bonds and for the other purposes provided by the terms of this Section, including
payment on Additional Bonds in accordance with the terms thereof.
The Issuer will apply funds deposited for the redemption of the Series 2026 Bonds then
subject to redemption in the foregoing manner as will exhaust the money then held for the
redemption of such Series 2026 Bonds as nearly as may be possible.
(B) There shall next be deposited to the Reserve Account, amounts, which, after
taking into account other funds then on deposit therein, will be sufficient to make the funds (on
deposit therein equal to the Reserve Requirement; provided, however, that if the funds on
deposit in the Reserve Account are less than the Reserve Requirement as a result of a
withdrawal therefrom for the payment of debt service on the Series 2026 Bonds due to a
deficiency in the amounts available in the Debt Service Account, as provided below, the amount

of such deficiency is to be repaid no later than twenty-four (24) months from the date of such
draw (assuming equal monthly payments into the Reserve Account of such twenty-four (24)
month period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a deficiency occurs in the Reserve Account
due to the valuation of investments held therein as a result of the valuation required by Section
22 hereof, the Issuer shall cure such deficiency by no later than twelve (12) months from the
date of the valuation resulting in such deficiency (assuming equal monthly payments into the
Reserve Account of such twelve (12) month period). On or prior to each principal and interest
payment date for the Series 2026 Bonds, moneys in the Reserve Account shall be applied by
the Issuer to the payment of the principal of, or redemption price, if applicable, and interest on
the Series 2026 Bonds to the extent moneys in the Debt Service Account are insufficient
therefor.
If Additional Bonds are secured by the Reserve Account, the Issuer shall establish a
separate subaccount within the Reserve Account to secure such Additional Bonds which
subaccount shall only secure the Additional Bonds and the Additional Bonds shall have no lien
on or pledge of the moneys on deposit in the Reserve Account for the benefit of the Series 2026
Bonds.
(C) Then, to any Registrar, Paying Agent, remarketing agent or similar agent with
respect to the Series 2026 Bonds, or to any party providing services in connection with the
remaining outstanding Series 2026 Bonds an amount equal to the fees and expenses of such
persons accruing in such Bond Year.

Redevelopment Trust Fund and may be used and applied by the Issuer for any lawful purpose
of the Issuer in accordance with the Redevelopment Act.
SECTION 22. INVESTMENT OF MONEYS. Moneys held for the credit and accounts
established hereunder shall be continuously secured in the manner by which the deposit of
public funds is authorized to be secured by the laws of the State. Moneys on deposit in the
Project Fund, the Debt Service Account and Reserve Account (including the accounts and
subaccounts therein) may only be invested and reinvested in Investment Obligations maturing
not later than the date on which the moneys therein will be needed for the purposes of such
fund or account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Investment Obligations deposited to the
Service. All investments shall be valued at market price, exclusive of accrued interest.
Valuation shall occur no less frequently than annually, except in the event of a withdrawal from
the Reserve Account, whereupon investments in the Reserve Account shall be valued
immediately after such withdrawal. Moneys in the Rebate Account may be invested in
Investment Obligations to the extent the same will not cause interest on any Series 2026 Bonds
outstanding hereunder to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Except as otherwise provided herein, including specifically, the obligations of the Issuer
with respect to the funding of the Rebate Account set forth in Section 23 hereof, any and all
income received by the Issuer from the investment of moneys in the Project Fund and the Debt
Service Account (including the accounts and subaccounts therein) and the Reserve Account (to
the extent such income and the other amounts therein are less than the Reserve Requirement),
shall be retained in such respective fund, account or subaccount until the amount on deposit
therein is sufficient for the purpose thereof, and thereafter may be applied for any lawful
purpose of the Issuer permitted under the Redevelopment Act. Investment income received
from the investment of funds on deposit in a subaccount in the Reserve Account, to the extent
that amounts on deposit therein exceed the Reserve Requirement, shall be transferred to the
Debt Service Account.
