The Authority hereby delegates to the Executive Director the determination of the date on which the TIF Note is to be delivered, in accordance with the Agreement. 2.02.

The TIF Note shall be issued as a single typewritten note numbered R-1. The TIF Note shall be issuable only in fully registered form. Principal of the TIF Note shall be payable by check or draft issued by the registrar described herein.

The Authority hereby appoints the Executive Director to perform the functions of registrar, transfer agent and paying agent (the "Registrar"). The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the Authority and the Registrar with respect thereto shall be as follows: (a) The Registrar shall keep at its office a bond register in which the Registrar shall provide for the registration of ownership of the TIF Note and the registration of transfers and exchanges of the TIF Note. (b) Upon surrender for transfer of the TIF Note duly endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Note of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the TIF Note shall not be transferred to any person other than an affiliate, or other related entity, of the Developer unless the Authority has been provided with an investment letter in a form substantially similar to the investment letter submitted by the Developer or a certificate of the transferor, in a form satisfactory to the Authority, that such transfer is exempt from registration and prospectus delivery requirements of federal and applicable state securities laws. The Registrar may close the books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each Payment Date and until such Payment Date. (c) The TIF Note surrendered upon any transfer shall be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the Authority. (d) When the TIF Note is presented to the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until it is satisfied that the endorsement on such Note or separate DOCSOPEN\MU205\5 2\763647.v3-11 / 19/21 21-EDA-351 Page 3 instrument of transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar shall incur no liability for its refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized. (e) The Authority and the Registrar may treat the person in whose name the TIF Note is at any time registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the TIF Note, whether the TIF Note shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of such Note and for all other purposes, and all such payments so made to any such registered owner or upon the owner's order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability of the Authority upon such Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. (f) For every transfer or exchange of the TIF Note, the Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee, or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. (g) In case any Note shall become mutilated or be lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Registrar shall deliver a new TIF Note of like amount, maturity dates and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of such mutilated Note or in lieu of and in substitution for such TIF Note lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case the TIF Note lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that such TIF Note was lost, stolen, or destroyed, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar of an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance, and amount satisfactory to it, in which both the Authority and the Registrar shall be named as obligees. The TIF Note so surrendered to the Registrar shall be cancelled by it and evidence of such cancellation shall be given to the Authority. If the mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed TIF Note has already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms, it shall not be necessary to issue a new TIF Note prior to payment. 2.05. The TIF Note shall be prepared under the direction of the Executive Director and shall be executed on behalf of the Authority by the signatures of its President and Executive Director. In case any officer whose signature shall appear on the TIF Note shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the TIF Note, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until delivery. When the TIF Note has been so executed, it shall be delivered by the Executive Director to the Developer thereof in accordance with the Agreement. Security Provisions of the TIF Note. 3.01. The Authority hereby pledges to the payment of the principal of the TIF Note all Available Tax Increment (as defined in the Agreement). Available Tax Increment shall be applied to payment of the principal of the TIF Note in accordance with the terms of the form of TIF Note. 3.02. Until the date the TIF Note is no longer outstanding and no principal thereof (to the extent required to be paid pursuant to this resolution) remains unpaid, the Authority shall maintain a separate and special "Bond Fund" to be used for no purpose other than the payment of the principal of the TIF Note. The Authority irrevocably agrees to appropriate to the Bond Fund in each year Available Tax Increment, subject to the terms of the Agreement.
