as eligible for deposit at DTC, the Port has executed and delivered to DTC a Letter of
Representations.

successor depository) or any DTC participant, the payment by DTC (or any successor
depository) or any DTC participant of any amount in respect of the principal of or interest on
Bonds, any notice which is permitted or required to be given to Registered Owners under this
resolution (except such notices as shall be required to be given by the Port to the Registrar or to
DTC (or any successor depository), or any consent given or other action taken by DTC (or any
successor depository) as the Registered Owner. For so long as any Bonds are held in fully
immobilized form hereunder, DTC or its successor depository shall be deemed to be the
Registered Owner for all purposes hereunder, and all references herein to the Registered Owners
shall mean DTC (or any successor depository) or its nominee and shall not mean the owners of
any beneficial interest in such Bonds. 
If any Bond shall be duly presented for payment and funds have not been duly provided
by the Port on such applicable date, then interest shall continue to accrue thereafter on the unpaid
principal thereof at the rate stated on such Bond until such Bond is paid. 
(d)    Use of Depository. 
(1)    The Bonds shall be registered initially in the name of "Cede & Co.," as
nominee of DTC, with one Bond for each of the maturity dates for the Bonds in a denomination
corresponding to the total principal therein designated to mature on such date. Registered
ownership of such immobilized Bonds, or any portions thereof, may not thereafter be transferred
-10- 
P:\20287_CMW\20287_BNZ

except (A) to any successor of DTC or its nominee, provided that any such successor shall be
qualified under any applicable laws to provide the service proposed to be provided by it; (B) to
any substitute depository appointed by the Designated Port Representative pursuant to
subsection (2) below or such substitute depository's successor; or (C) to any person as provided
in subsection (4) below. 
(2)    Upon the resignation of DTC or its successor (or any substitute depository
or its successor) from its functions as depository or a determination by the Designated Port
Representative to discontinue the system of book-entry transfers through DTC or its successor
(or any substitute depository or its successor), the Designated Port Representative may hereafter
appoint a substitute depository. Any such substitute depository shall be qualified under any
applicable laws to provide the services proposed to be provided by it. 
(3)    In the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (A) or (B) of subsection (1)
above, the Registrar shall, upon receipt of all outstanding Bonds, together with a written request
on behalf of the Designated Port Representative, issue a single new Bond for each maturity of
the Bonds then outstanding, registered in the name of such successor or such substitute
depository, or their nominees, as the case may be, all as specified in such written request of the
Designated Port Representative. 
(4)    In the event that (A) DTC or its successor (or substitute depository or its
successor) resigns from its functions as depository, and no substitute depository can be obtained,
or (B) the Designated Port Representative determines that it is in the best interest of the
beneficial owners of the Bonds that such owners be able to obtain such Bonds in the form of
Bond certificates, the ownership of such Bonds may then be transferred to any persons or entities
as herein provided, and shall no longer be held in fully immobilized form. The Designated Port
Representative shall deliver a written request to the Registrar, together with a supply of
-11- 
P:\20287_CMW\20287_BNZ

definitive Bonds, to issue Bonds as herein provided in any authorized denomination.  Upon

denominations and registered in the names of such persons or entities as are requested in such
written request. 
(e)    Registration of Transfer of Ownership or Exchange; Change in Denominations.
The transfer of any Bond may be registered and Bonds may be exchanged, but no transfer of any
such Bond shall be valid unless such Bond is surrendered to the Registrar with the assignment
form appearing on such Bond duly executed by the Registered Owner or such Registered
Owner's duly authorizedagent in a manner satisfactory to the Registrar. Upon such surrender,
the Registrar shall cancel the surrendered Bond and shall authenticate and deliver, without
charge to the Registered Owner or transferee therefor, a new Bond (or Bonds at the option of the
new Registered Owner) of the same date, maturity and interest rate and for the same aggregate
principal amount in any authorized denomination, naming as Registered Owner the person or
persons listed as the assignee on the assignment form appearing on the surrendered Bond, in
exchange for such surrendered and canceled Bond. Any Bond may be surrendered to the
Registrar and exchanged, without charge, for an equal aggregate principal amount of Bonds of
the same date, maturity and interest rate, in any authorized denomination or denominations. The
Registrar shall not be obligated to register the transfer or to exchange any Bond during the
15 days preceding the date any such Bond is to be redeemed. 
(f)     Registrar's Ownership of Bonds. The Registrar may  become the Registered
Owner of any Bond with the same rights it would have if it were not the Registrar, and to the
extent permitted by law, may act as depository for and permit any of its officers or directors to

right of the Registered Owners of Bonds.

surrendered and canceled, it will maintain a system for recording the ownership of the Bonds that
complies with the provisions of Section 149 of the Code. 
(h)    Place and Medium of Payment. 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
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months. For so long as all
Bonds are in fully immobilized form, payments of principal and interest shall be made as
provided in accordance with the operational arrangements of DTC referred to in the Letter of
Representations.
In the event that the Bonds are no longer in fully immobilized form, interest on the Bonds
shall be paid by check mailed to the Registered Owners at the addresses for such Registered
Owners appearing on the Bond Register on the 15th day of the month preceding the interest
payment date, and principal and premium, if any, of the Bonds shall be payable by check upon

accounting procedures then followed by the Port. The Bond Fund shall be held separate and
apart from all other funds and accounts of the Port and shall be a trust fund for the owners, from
time to time, of the Bonds. The taxes levied for the purpose of paying principal of and interest
on the Bonds and other legally available funds to be used to pay the Bonds shall be deposited in
the Bond Fund no later than the date such funds are required for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Bonds. 
The Port hereby further irrevocably covenants that it will budget and make annual levies

resources of the Port are hereby irrevocably pledged for the annual levy and collection of such

stolen or destroyed, the Registrar may execute and deliver a new Bond or Bonds of like maturity,
date, number and tenor to the Registered Owner thereof upon the owner's paying the expenses
and charges of the Port in connection therewith and upon his/her filing with the Port evidence

The resolution reauthorizing the issuance and sale of the Bonds may be in the form of a new
resolution repealing this resolution or may be in the form of an amendatory resolution approving

of any amounts that may be designated by the Designated Port Representative in a closing
certificate to be allocated to pay costs of issuance), together with other available funds of the
Port in the amount specified by the Designated Port Representative, shall be held by the Port and
used at the direction of the Designated Port Representative for eligible Port purposes, including
payment of a portion of the Port's contributions pursuant to the Agreement. The Treasurer shall
invest the net proceeds of the Bonds until expended in such obligations as may now or hereafter

date on which such money shall be needed. Earnings on such investments, except as may be
required to pay rebatable arbitrage pursuant to the Federal Tax Certificate, may be used for Port
purposes or transferred to the Bond Fund for the uses and purposes therein provided.
