Registration Books in the name of Cede & Co. (the "Nominee"). Except as provided in

name of the Nominee on the Registration Books.
With respect to Bonds the ownership of which shall be registered in the name of
the Nominee,the District and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation
7
to any Depository System Participant or to any person on behalf of which the
Depository holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the generality of the
immediately preceding sentence, the District and the Paying Agent shall have no
responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the
Depository, the Nominee or any Depository System Participant with respect to any
ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Depository System Participant
or any other person, other than an Owner as shown in the Registration Books, of any
notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, (iii) the selection
by the Depository of the beneficial interests in the Bonds to be redeemed in the event the
District elects to redeem the Bonds in part, (iv) the payment to any Depository System
Participant or any other person, other than an Owner as shown in the Registration
Books, of any amount with respect to principal, premium, if any, or interest on the
Bonds or(v) any consent given or other action taken by the Depository as Owner of the
Bonds. The District and the Paying Agent may treat and consider the person in whose
name each Bond is registered as the absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of
payment of principal, premium and interest on such Bond, for the purpose of giving
notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of
registering transfers of ownership of such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever.
The Paying Agent shall pay the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the
Bonds only to the respective Owners or their respective attorneys duly authorized in
writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge
all obligations with respect to payment of principal of and interest and premium, if any,
on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than an Owner
shall receive a Bond evidencing the obligation of the District to make payments of
principal, interest and premium, if any, pursuant to this Resolution. Upon delivery by
the Depository to the Nominee of written notice to the effect that the Depository has
determined to substitute a new nominee in its place,and subject to the provisions herein

for all purposes; and upon receipt of such a notice the District shall promptly deliver a
copy of the same to the Paying Agent.
(b) Representation Letter. In order to qualify the Bonds for the Depository's
book-entry system, the District and the Paying Agent shall execute and deliver to such
Depository a letter representing such matters as shall be necessary to so qualify the
Bonds. The execution and delivery of such letter shall not in any way limit the
provisions of subsection (a) above or in any other way impose upon the District or the
Paying Agent any obligation whatsoever with respect to persons having interests in the
Bonds other than the Owners. The Paying Agent agrees to comply with all provisions in
such letter with respect to the giving of notices thereunder by the Paying Agent. In
addition to the execution and delivery of such letter, the District may take any other
actions, not inconsistent with this Resolution, to qualify the Bonds for the Depository's
book-entry program.

Depository determines not to continue to act as Depository for the Bonds, or (ii) the
District determines to terminate the Depository as such, then the District shall
thereupon discontinue the book-entry system with such Depository. In such event, the
Depository shall cooperate with the District and the Paying Agent in the issuance of
replacement Bonds by providing the Paying Agent with a list showing the interests of the
Depository System Participants in the Bonds, and by surrendering the Bonds, registered
in the name of the Nominee,to the Paying Agent on or before the date such replacement
Bonds are to be issued. The Depository,by accepting delivery of the Bonds, agrees to be
bound by the provisions of this subsection (c). If, prior to the termination of the
Depository acting as such, the District fails to identify another Securities Depository to
8
replace the Depository, then the Bonds shall no longer be required to be registered in the
Registration Books in the name of the Nominee,but shall be registered in whatever name
or names the Owners transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance
with the provisions of this Article 2. Prior to its termination, the Depository shall
furnish the Paying Agent with the names and addresses of the Participants and
respective ownership interests thereof.

Resolution to the contrary,but subject to Section 4.06 of this Resolution, so long as any

in the letter described in subsection (b) of this Section or as otherwise instructed by the
Depository.

by the facsimile signatures of the County Treasurer of the County and the Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors who are in office on the date of adoption of this Resolution or at any time
thereafter, and the seal of the District shall be impressed, imprinted or reproduced by facsimile
thereon. If any officer whose signature appears on any Bond ceases to be such officer before
delivery of the Bonds to the purchaser,such signature shall nevertheless be as effective as if the
officer had remained in office until the delivery of the Bonds to the purchaser. Any Bond may
be signed and attested on behalf of the Board by such persons as at the actual date of the
execution of such Bond shall be the proper officers of the County although at the nominal date
of such Bond any such person shall not have been such officer of the County.
Only such Bonds as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication and registration in
the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, executed and dated by the Paying Agent, shall
be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the benefits of this Resolution, and such
certificate of the Paying Agent shall be conclusive evidence that the Bonds so registered have
been duly authenticated, registered and delivered hereunder and are entitled to the benefits of
this Resolution.

transferred, upon the books required to be kept pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.09

exchange.

established by the Paying Agent for selection of Bonds for redemption or (b) with respect to a

books for the registration and transfer of the Bond (the 'Registration Books"), which shall at all

Office of the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent shall deliver in exchange for such temporary
Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds of authorized denominations.
Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits pursuant to this
Resolution as definitive Bonds executed and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.11. Bonds Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen. If any Bond shall become
mutilated the District, at the expense of the Owner of said Bond, shall execute, and the Paying
Agent shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like maturity and principal
amount in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only upon surrender to the
Paying Agent of the Bond so mutilated. Every mutilated Bond so surrendered to the Paying
Agent shall be canceled by it and delivered to, or upon the order of, the District. If any Bond
shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted
to the District and, if such evidence be satisfactory to the District and indemnity satisfactory to
it shall be given, the District, at the expense of the Owner, shall execute, and the Paying Agent
shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like maturity and principal amount in
lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen. The District may require
payment of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing each new Bond issued under this
Section and of the expenses which may be incurred by the District and the Paying Agent in the
premises. Any Bond issued under the provisions of this Section 2.11 in lieu of any Bond alleged
to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation on
