principal of and interest on all Parity Bonds then outstanding to the date or dates on which they first
may be redeemed, nor will it sell or otherwise dispose of any part ofthe System which is material to

claims for labor, materials or supplies which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon the

prior or superior to the lien of the Parity Bonds, or which might impair the security of the Parity
Bonds.

the payment ofthe principal of and interest on the Parity Bonds except that the City reserves the right
to issue future Parity Bonds as follows:
A. For the purpose of acquiring, constructing and installing additions, betterments and
improvements to and extensions of, acquiring necessary property and equipment for, or making
necessary replacements or repairs to the System, for funding interest and reserves and for the purpose

thereon junior and inferior to the lien on Pledged Revenues for the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Bonds and upon compliance with the following conditions:
(1) The City will covenant in each resolution authorizing the issuance of Future Parity
Bonds that it will pay into and maintain in the Reserve Subaccount the amounts required by
Section 13 of this resolution to be paid into and maintained in said Subaccount in the event
Future Parity Bonds are issued. The City also will covenant in each such resolution that it
will establish, maintain and collect Passenger Fees sufficient to meet the same requirements
as are contained in subsection A of Section 15 of this resolution;
(2) At the time of the issuance of such Future Parity Bonds the City shall have on file
a certificate showing that the "annual income available for revenue bond debt service," as
hereinafter set forth, shall be at least equal to 1.20 times the maximum Annual Debt Service
Requirement on all outstanding Parity Bonds and the Future Parity Bonds being issued.
Such "annual income available for revenue bond debt service" shall be determined by
adding the following:
(i) The historical Pledged Revenues for any 12 consecutive months out of
the 24 months immediately preceding the month of delivery of the Future Parity
Bonds being issued.
(ii) The estimated annual Pledged Revenues to be derived from the
operation of any additions or improvements to or extensions of the System under
construction but not completed at the time of such certificate and not being paid for
out of the proceeds of sale of such Future Parity Bonds being issued, and which
Pledged Revenues are not otherwise included in any of the sources of Pledged
Revenues described in this subsection (2).
(iii) The estimated Pledged Revenues to be derived from the operation of any
additions and improvements to or extensions of the System being paid for out of the
proceeds of sale of such Future Parity Bonds being issued.
The computation of "annual income available for revenue bond debt service" shall be
adjusted to reflect the Passenger Fees effective on the date of such certificate or approved by
the regulatory authority with jurisdiction to become effective thereafter if there has been any
change in such rates and charges put into effect or so approved during or after such 12-
consecutive-month base period.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this subparagraph (2), the certificate
referred to above shall not be required if one-half of Pledged Revenues, verified from certain
financial statements of the City, for a period of any consecutive two out of the three Fiscal
Years immediately preceding the issuance and delivery of such Future Parity Bonds, was
equal to at least 1.20 times the maximum Annual Debt Service required to be paid in any
\\Pat\c1erkc\Current Work\COUNCIL\R.esolutions\OO-094a.wpd
Page 15
Fiscal Year succeeding the date of issuance of such Future Parity Bonds on all outstanding
Parity Bonds and the Future Parity Bonds being issued.
Further, notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this subparagraph (2), Future
Parity Bonds may be issued if the City shall have on file a certificate stating that the Pledged
Revenues for the next full Fiscal Year after the initial operation of any additions or
improvements to or extensions of the System being paid for out of the proceeds of the Future
Parity Bonds will be at least equal to 1.40 times the maximum Annual Debt Service
Requirement on all outstanding Parity Bonds and the Future Parity Bonds being issued. That
at the time of the issuance of such Future Parity Bonds there is not deficiency in the Debt
Service Subaccount or Reserve Subaccount.
B. For the purpose of refunding at or prior to their redemption or maturity any part or
all of the then outstanding Parity Bonds if the issuance of such refunding Future Parity Bonds does
not require a greater amount to be paid out of Pledged Revenues for principal and interest over the
life of such refunding Future Parity Bonds being refunded, and if the conditions required in
subsections (a)(1) and (a)(3) of this section are complied with.
Proceeds of Parity Bonds to be used to fund interest or reserves shall be deposited in the Debt
Service Subaccount or the Reserve Subaccount, as the case may be.
Section 17. Subordinate Lien Bonds. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the City from
issuing revenue bonds or notes which are a charge upon Pledged Revenues subordinate or inferior
to the payments required herein to be made therefrom into the Debt Service Subaccount and Reserve
Subaccount, or from issuing harbor improvement revenue bonds to refund maturing bonds for the
payment of which moneys are not otherwise available.
Section 18. Covenants Regarding Arbitrage and Private Activity Bonds. The City hereby
covenants that it will not make any use of the proceeds of sale of the Bonds or any other funds of the
City which may be deemed to be proceeds of such Bonds pursuant to Section 148 ofthe Code which
will cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of said section and the regulations
applicable thereunder. The City will comply with the requirements of Section 148 of the Code (or
any successor provision thereof applicable to the Bonds) and the applicable regulations thereunder
throughout the term of the Bonds.
The City further covenants that it will not take any action or permit any action to be taken that
would cause the Bonds to constitute "private activity bonds" under Section 141 of the Code. The
City will take any action determined by the City, after consultation with its bond counsel, to be legal
and practicable and required to be taken by the City under future federal laws or regulations in order
to maintain the exemption of the interest on the Bonds from federal income taxation.
Section 19. Defeasance. In the event that money and/or Acquired Obligations maturing at
such time or times and bearing interest to be earned thereon in amounts sufficient to redeem and retire
any or all of the Bonds in accordance with their terms are set aside in a special trust account in the
Bond Account to effect such redemption or retirement and such money and the principal of and

to be outstanding hereunder or under any other resolution authorizing the issuance of Future Parity
Bonds.
