authorized to enter into such agreements or understandings with such bank as will enable the
bank to perform the services required of a Registrar and Paying Agent. The Clerk- Treasurer is
further authorized to pay such fees as the bank may charge for the services it provides as
Registrar and Paying Agent, and such fees may be paid from the bond fund established to pay the
principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds. Upon agreement between the City and the
successful bidder for the Refunding Bonds, the Clerk - Treasurer may be designated as the
Registrar and Paying Agent, and, in that case, shall be charged with all responsibilities of a
Registrar and Paying Agent.
The principal of the Refunding Bonds shall be payable at the principal corporate trust
office of the Paying Agent. Interest on the Refunding Bonds shall be paid by check mailed by
first class mail one business day prior to the interest payment date to the registered owner, as of
the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the interest payment date ( "Record Date "),
to the address as it appears on the registration books kept by the Registrar or at such other

1/2786455 1
-4
business day. The Paying Agent shall be instructed to wire transfer payments by 1:00 p.m. (New
York City time) so such payments are received at the depository by 2:30 p.m. (New York City
time). All payments on the Refunding Bonds shall be made in any lawful money of the United
States of America, which on the date of such payment shall be legal tender for the payment of
public and private debts.
Each Refunding Bond shall be transferable or exchangeable only upon the books of the
City kept for that purpose at the principal corporate trust office of the Registrar by the registered
owner or by its attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender of such Refunding Bond
together with a written instrument of transfer or exchange satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by the registered owner or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new
fully registered Refunding Bond or Refunding Bonds in the same aggregate principal amount
and of the same maturity, shall be executed and delivered in the name of the transferee or
transferees or the registered owner, as the case may be, in exchange therefor. The City and the
Registrar and Paying Agent for the Refunding Bonds may treat and consider the person in whose
name such Refunding Bonds are registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes
including for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal thereof and
interest due thereon.
The Refunding Bonds shall bear an original date which shall be the first day of the month
in which the Refunding Bonds are issued or sold or as of their date of delivery, and each
Refunding Bond shall also bear the date of its authentication. Refunding Bonds authenticated on
or before the Record Date immediately preceding the first interest payment date shall be paid
interest from the original date. Refunding Bonds authenticated thereafter shall be paid interest

date to which interest has been paid in full.

The City has determined that it may be beneficial to the City to have the Refunding
Bonds held by a central depository system pursuant to an agreement between the City and The
Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ( "Depository Trust Company ") and have
transfers of the Refunding Bonds effected by book -entry on the books of the central depository
system ( "Book Entry System "). The Refunding Bonds may be initially issued in the form of a
separate single authenticated fully registered Refunding Bond for the aggregate principal amount
of each separate maturity of the Refunding Bonds. In such case, upon initial issuance, the
ownership of such Refunding Bonds shall be registered in the register kept by the Registrar in the
name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company.
I/2786455 1

With respect to the Refunding Bonds registered in the register kept by the Registrar in the
name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company, the City and the Paying
Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any other holders or owners (including any
beneficial owner ( "Beneficial Owner ")) of the Refunding Bonds with respect to (i) the accuracy
of the records of the Depository Trust Company, CEDE & CO., or any Beneficial Owner with
respect to ownership questions, (ii) the delivery to any bondholder (including any Beneficial
Owner) or any other person, other than the Depository Trust Company, of any notice with
respect to the Refunding Bonds including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any
bondholder (including any Beneficial Owner) or any other person, other than the Depository
Trust Company, of any amount with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on
the Refunding Bonds except as otherwise provided herein.
No person other than the Depository Trust Company shall receive an authenticated
Refunding Bond evidencing an obligation of the City to make payments of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on the Refunding Bonds pursuant to this resolution. The City and
the Registrar and Paying Agent may treat as and deem the Depository Trust Company or CEDE
& CO. to be the absolute bondholder of each of the Refunding Bonds for the purpose of (i)
payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Refunding Bonds; (ii)
giving notices of redemption and other notices permitted to be given to bondholders with respect
to such Refunding Bonds; (iii) registering transfers with respect to such Refunding Bonds; (iv)
obtaining any consent or other action required or permitted to be taken of or by bondholders; (v)
voting; and (vi) for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying Agent shall pay all principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on the Refunding Bonds only to or upon the order of the
Depository Trust Company, and all such payments shall be valid and effective fully to satisfy
I/2786455 1
-7
and discharge the City's and the Paying Agent's obligations with respect to principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on the Refunding Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Upon delivery by the Depository Trust Company to the City of written notice to the effect that
the Depository Trust Company has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of CEDE &
CO., and subject to the provisions herein with respect to consents, the words "CEDE & CO." in
this resolution shall refer to such new nominee of the Depository Trust Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, so long as any Refunding Bond is
registered in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company, all
payments with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Refunding
Bonds and all notices with respect to such Refunding Bonds shall be made and given,
respectively, to the Depository Trust Company as provided in a representation letter from the
County to the Depository Trust Company.
Upon receipt by the City of written notice from the Depository Trust Company to the
effect that the Depository Trust Company is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities
and no substitute depository willing to undertake the functions of the Depository Trust Company
hereunder can be found which is willing and able to undertake such functions upon reasonable
and customary terms, then the Refunding Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered
in the register of the City kept by the Registrar in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the
Depository Trust Company, but may be registered in whatever name or names the bondholders
transferring or exchanging the Refunding Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the
provisions of this resolution.
If the City determines that it is in the best interest of the bondholders that they be able to
obtain certificates for the fully registered Refunding Bonds, the City may notify the Depository
-8
Trust Company and the Registrar, whereupon the Depository Trust Company will notify the
Beneficial Owners of the availability through the Depository Trust Company of certificates for
the Refunding Bonds. In such event, the Registrar shall prepare, authenticate, transfer and
exchange certificates for the Refunding Bonds as requested by the Depository Trust Company
and any Beneficial Owners in appropriate amounts, and whenever the Depository Trust
Company requests the City and the Registrar to do so, the Registrar and the City will cooperate
with the Depository Trust Company by taking appropriate action after reasonable notice (i) to
make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the fully registered Refunding Bonds
of any Beneficial Owner's Depository Trust Company account or (ii) to arrange for another
securities depository to maintain custody of certificates for and evidencing the Refunding Bonds.
If the Refunding Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of the
Depository Trust Company, the Registrar shall cause the Refunding Bonds to be printed in blank
in such number as the Registrar shall determine to be necessary or customary; provided,
however, that the Registrar shall not be required to have such Refunding Bonds printed until it
shall have received from the City indemnification for all costs and expenses associated with such
printing.
In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to bondholders by
the City or the Registrar with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by bondholders,
the City or the Registrar, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for such consent or
other action and give the Depository Trust Company notice of such record date not less than
fifteen (15) calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible.
So long as the Refunding Bonds are registered in the name of the Depository Trust
Company or CEDE & CO. or any substitute nominee, the City and the Registrar and Paying
I12786455 1
9
Agent shall be entitled to request and to rely upon a certificate or other written representation
from the Beneficial Owners of the Refunding Bonds or from the Depository Trust Company on
behalf of such Beneficial Owners stating the amount of their respective beneficial ownership
interests in the Refunding Bonds and setting forth the consent, advice, direction, demand or vote
of the Beneficial Owners as of a record date selected by the Registrar and the Depository Trust
Company, to the same extent as if such consent, advice, direction, demand or vote were made by
the bondholders for purposes of this resolution and the City and the Registrar and Paying Agent
shall for such purposes treat the Beneficial Owners as the bondholders. Along with any such
certificate or representation, the Registrar may request the Depository Trust Company to deliver,
or cause to be delivered, to the Registrar a list of all Beneficial Owners of the Refunding Bonds,
together with the dollar amount of each Beneficial Owner's interest in the Refunding Bonds and
the current addresses of such Beneficial Owners.
SECTION 3. Redemption. The Refunding Bonds maturing on and after January 1, 2019

days' notice, in whole or in part, in the order of maturity as determined by the City and by lot
within a maturity, at face value, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, with no
premium.
Any Refunding Bonds issued as term bonds, upon election of the successful bidder, shall
be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on January 1 at 100% of face value in
accordance with the maturity schedule hereinafter determined in accordance with paragraph (c).
The Registrar shall credit against the mandatory sinking fund requirement for any term bonds,
and any corresponding mandatory redemption obligation, in the order determined by the City,
any term bonds maturing on the same date which have previously been redeemed (otherwise than
1/2786455 1
- 10 -
as a result of a previous mandatory redemption requirement) or delivered to the Registrar for
cancellation or purchased for cancellation by the City and not theretofore applied as a credit
against any redemption obligation. Each term bond so delivered or canceled shall be credited by
the Registrar at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the mandatory sinking fund
obligation on such mandatory redemption date for that term bond. Any excess of such amount
shall be credited on future redemption obligations, and the principal amount of that term bond to
be redeemed by operation of the mandatory sinking fund requirement shall be accordingly
reduced.
Each One Hundred Dollars ($100) principal amount shall be considered a separate
Refunding Bond for purposes of redemption. If less than an entire maturity is called for
redemption, the Refunding Bonds to be called shall be selected by lot by the Registrar. If some
Refunding Bonds are to be redeemed by optional redemption and mandatory sinking fund
redemption on the same date, the Registrar shall select by lot the Bonds for optional redemption
before selecting the Refunding Bonds by lot for the mandatory sinking fund redemption.
Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the address of the registered owner as shown on
the registration records of the Registrar, as of the date which is forty -five (45) days prior to the
date fixed for redemption, not less than thirty (30) days prior to such redemption date, unless
notice is waived by the owner of the Refunding Bonds redeemed. The notice shall specify the
date and place of redemption and sufficient identification of the Refunding Bonds called for
redemption. The place of redemption may be determined by the City. Interest on the Refunding
Bonds so called for redemption shall cease and the Refunding Bonds will no longer be deemed
outstanding under this ordinance on the redemption date fixed in such notice if sufficient funds
are available at the place of redemption to pay the redemption price, including accrued interest
1/2786455 1
and redemption premium, if any, to the redemption date, on the date so named. Failure to give
such notice by mailing, or any defect in such notice, with respect to any Refunding Bond shall
not affect the validity of any proceedings for redemption of other Refunding Bonds.
If the Refunding Bonds are not presented for payment or redemption on the date fixed
therefor, the City may deposit in trust with the Paying Agent, an amount sufficient to pay such
Refunding Bond or the redemption price, as the case may be, including accrued interest to the
date of such payment or redemption, and thereafter the registered owner shall look only to the
funds so deposited in trust with the Paying Agent for payment, and the City shall have no further
obligation or liability in respect thereto.
SECTION 4. Form of Refunding Bond. The form of the Refunding Bonds shall be
substantially as follows:
[Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative
of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation
( "DTC "), to the City of Greencastle, Indiana, or its agent for
registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate
issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other
name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and
any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is
requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR
VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS
WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede &
Co., has an interest herein.]

SECTION 7. Preparation of Bonds. The Clerk- Treasurer is hereby authorized and
directed to have the Bonds prepared, and the Mayor and the Clerk- Treasurer are hereby
authorized and directed to execute the Refunding Bonds in the form and manner provided in this

SECTION 9. Covenant to Levy Tax. The full faith and credit of the City, are hereby
irrevocably pledged to the punctual payment of the principal of and the interest on the Refunding
Bonds according to their terms. In order to provide for the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Refunding Bonds, there shall be levied in each year upon all taxable property in
« 1
- 19-
the City, real and personal, and collected a tax in an amount and in such manner sufficient to
meet and pay the principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds as they become due, and the
proceeds of this tax are hereby pledged solely to the payment of the Refunding Bonds. Such tax
shall be deposited first, before any other deposits of tax revenues by the City, into a separate
bond fund ( "Bond Payment Fund ") and used to pay the principal of and interest on the Refunding
Bonds, when due, together with any fiscal agency charges. If the funds deposited into the Bond
Payment Fund are then insufficient to meet and pay the principal of and interest on the
Refunding Bonds as they become due, then the City covenants to transfer other available funds
of the City to meet and pay the principal and interest then due on the Refunding Bonds.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this ordinance, the City may enter into an
agreement with the Registrar and Paying Agent in which the Registrar agrees that upon any
default or insufficiency in the payment of principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds as
provided in this ordinance, the Registrar will immediately, without any direction, security or
indemnity, file a claim with the Treasurer of the State of Indiana for an amount equal to principal
and interest in default and consents to the filing of any such claim by a bondholder in the name
of the Registrar for deposit with the Registrar.
If the Clerk - Treasurer is designated as the Registrar and Paying Agent, the City
covenants, under IC 6 -1.1- 20.6 -10, to determine if the Bond Payment Fund has sufficient funds
to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds at least five (5) days before such payments are
due. If the Bond Payment Fund is not sufficient because of the operation of the tax credits
granted under the provisions of IC 6 -1.1 -20.6, the City agrees to the following:
(a) The Clerk- Treasurer shall determine or cause to be determined the amount of the
deficiency in the Bond Payment Fund ( "Deficiency "); and
- 20 -
(b) The Deficiency shall be immediately reported and a claim filed by the City with
the Treasurer of the State of Indiana for an amount equal to such Deficiency.
SECTION 10. Tax Covenants and Representations. In order to preserve the exclusion of
interest on the Refunding Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes under
Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as existing on the date of issuance of the
Refunding Bonds and the Regulations in effect and applicable to the Refunding Bonds on the
date of issuance of the Refunding Bonds (collectively, "Code ") and as an inducement to
Purchasers, the Council represents, covenants and agrees that:
(a) Since the date of issuance of the Refunded Bonds and until the earlier of the last
date of the reasonably expected economic life of the project ( "Project ") constructed with funds
from the Refunded Bonds or the latest maturity date of the Refunding Bonds ( "Combined
Measurement Period "), the Project will be available for use by members of the general public.
Use by a member of the general public means use by natural persons not engaged in a trade or
business. During the Combined Measurement Period, no person or entity other than the City or
another state or local governmental unit will use more than 10% of the proceeds of the
Refunding Bonds or property financed by the Refunding Bond proceeds other than as a member
of the general public. During the Combined Measurement Period, no person or entity other than
the City or another state or local governmental unit will own property financed by Refunding
Bond proceeds or will have any actual or beneficial use of such property pursuant to a lease, a
management or incentive payment contract, arrangements such as take -or -pay or output contracts
or any other type of arrangement that conveys other special legal entitlements and differentiates
that person's or entity's use of such property from use by the general public, unless such uses in
the aggregate relate to no more than 10% of the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds. If the City
-21 -
enters into a management contract for the Project, the terms of the contract will comply with IRS
Revenue Procedure 97 -13, as it may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time,
so that the contract will not give rise to private business use under the Code and the Regulations,
unless such use in aggregate relates to no more than 10% of the proceeds of the Refunding
Bonds.
(b) No more than 10% of the principal of or interest on the Refunding Bonds over the
Combined Measurement Period will be (under the terms of the Refunding Bonds, this ordinance
or any underlying arrangement), directly or indirectly, secured by an interest in property used or
to be used for any private business use or payments in respect of any private business use or
payments in respect of such property or to be derived from payments (whether or not to the City)
in respect of such property or borrowed money used or to be used for a private business use.
(c) No more than 5% of the Refunding Bond proceeds will be loaned to any person or
entity other than another state or local governmental unit. No more than 5% of the Refunding
Bond proceeds will be transferred, directly or indirectly, or deemed transferred to a
nongovernmental person in any manner that would in substance constitute a loan of the
Refunding proceeds.
(d) The City reasonably expects, as of the date hereof, that the Refunding Bonds will
not meet either the private business use test described in paragraph (a) and (b) above or the
private loan test described in paragraph (c) above for the Combined Measurement Period.
(e) During the Combined Measurement Period, no more than 5% of the proceeds of
the Refunding Bonds will be attributable to private business use as described in (a) and private
security or payments described in (b) attributable to unrelated or disproportionate private
business use. For this purpose, the private business use test is applied by taking into account
- 22 -
only use that is not related to any governmental use of proceeds of the issue (Unrelated Use) and
use that is related but disproportionate to any governmental use of those proceeds
(Disproportionate Use).
CC 1
(f)
The City will not take any action nor fail to take any action with respect to the
Refunding Bonds that would result in the loss of the exclusion from gross income for federal tax
purposes on the Refunding Bonds pursuant to Section 103 of the Code, nor will the City act in
any other manner which would adversely affect such exclusion. The City covenants and agrees
not to enter into any contracts or arrangements which would cause the Refunding Bonds to be
treated as private activity bonds under Section 141 of the Code.
(g)
It shall be not an event of default under this ordinance if the interest on any
Refunding Bond is not excludable from gross income for federal tax purposes or otherwise
pursuant to any provision of the Code which is not currently in effect and in existence on the date
of issuance of the Refunding Bonds.
(h) The City represents that:
(i) The City is a governmental unit with general taxing powers, which powers
include the power to impose taxes of general applicability that, when collected, may be
used for the general purposes of the City;
(ii) The Refunding Bonds are not private activity bonds as defined in
Section 141 of the Code;
(iii) At least 95% of the net proceeds of the Refunding Bonds will be used for
local governmental activities of the City or of a governmental unit, the jurisdiction of
which is entirely within the jurisdiction of the City;
- 23 -
(iv) The aggregate face amount of all tax - exempt bonds (other than private
activity bonds) issued by the City and all units subordinate to the City, including on-
behalf-of issuer and subordinate entities as those terms are defined in Regulations
Section 1.148- 8(c)(2), is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000 in calendar year
2012; and
(v) The City has not been formed or availed of to otherwise avoid the
purposes of the $5,000,000 size limitation.
Therefore, the City meets the requirements of Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code and will
not have to rebate any arbitrage profits to the United States.
(i) The City represents that:
(i) The Refunding Bonds are not private activity bonds as defined in
Section 141 of the Code;
(ii) The City hereby designates the Refunding Bonds as qualified tax - exempt
obligations for purposes of Section 265(b) of the Code;
(iii) The reasonably anticipated amount of qualified tax - exempt obligations
(including qualified 501(c)(3) obligations and tax - exempt leases but excluding other
private activity bonds) which will be issued by the City and all entities subordinate to the
City during 2012 does not exceed $10,000,000; and
(iv) The City has not and will not designate more than $10,000,000 of
qualified tax - exempt obligations during 2012.
Therefore, the Refunding Bonds qualify for the exception in the Code from the disallowance of
100% of the deduction by financial institutions of interest expense allocable to newly acquired
tax - exempt obligations.

(j) These covenants are based solely on current law in effect and in existence on the
date of delivery of the Refunding Bonds.
SECTION 11. Noncompliance with Tax Covenants. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this ordinance, the covenants and authorizations contained in this ordinance ( "Tax
Sections ") which are designed to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Refunding Bonds from
gross income under federal law ( "Tax Exemption ") need not be complied with if the City
receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that compliance with any Tax Section
is unnecessary to preserve the Tax Exemption.
SECTION 12. Debt Limit Not Exceeded. The City represents and covenants that the
Refunding Bonds herein authorized, when combined with other outstanding indebtedness of the
City at the time of issuance of the Refunding Bonds, will not exceed any applicable
constitutional or statutory limitation on the City's indebtedness.
SECTION 13. Severability. If any section, paragraph or provision of this ordinance shall
be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of such
section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this ordinance.
SECTION 14. Repeal of Conflicting Provisions. All ordinances, or parts thereof, in
conflict with the provisions of this ordinance, are hereby repealed; provided, however, that this
ordinance shall not be construed as adversely affecting the rights of the owners of the Refunded
Bonds.
SECTION 15. Amendments to Ordinance. This ordinance may, from time to time
hereafter, be amended without the consent of the owners of the Refunding Bonds, if in the sole
discretion of the Council, such amendment shall not adversely affect the rights of the owners of
any of the Refunding Bonds.
