blank on the reverse side thereof, after which no transfer thereof

request of the registered owner and upon presentation at the office
of said Bond Registrar. Upon such reconversion the coupons repre-
senting the interest to become due thereafter will be attached to
the Bond and a statement will be endorsed thereon by said Bond
Registrar in the registration blank on the back of the Bond stating
whether it is then registered as to principal alone or payable to
bearer. No charge shall be made to any bondholder for the privilege
-7-

of registration and transfer but any bondholder requesting any such
registration or transfer shall pay any tax or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect thereto. As to any Bond
registered as to principal, the person in whose name the same shall
be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes and payment of or on account of the princi-
pal of any such Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the
registered owner thereof, or his legal representative, and neither
the City, the Paying Agent nor the Bond Registrar shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary, but such registration may be changed
as herein provided. All such payments shall be valid and effectual
to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid. The City, the Paying Agent and
the Bond Registrar may treat the bearer of any Bond which shall
not at the time be registered as to principal, except to bearer,
and the bearer of any coupon pertaining to any Bond, whether such
Bond be registered as to principal or not, as the absolute owner
of such Bond or coupon, as the case may be, whether such Bond or
coupon shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving pay-
ment thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither
the City, the Paying Agent or the Bond Registrar shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.
Section 7. Method of Execution of Bonds. Said Bonds
and each of them shall be executed for and on behalf of the City

simile signature of its City Clerk, with the seal of the City affixed.

either on original issuance or upon exchange or transfer as herein
provided, said Bonds may be issued, delivered, exchanged or trans-
ferred as though said officers had not ceased to hold office and
such signatures appearing on said Bonds, coupons and registration
certificates shall be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if
they had remained in office until such issuance, delivery, transfer
or exchange.

est coupons and the certificates attached thereto shall be in sub-
stantially the following form:

THIS BOND is one of an authorized series of 200 Bonds
aggregating the principal amount of $1,000,000, numbered from 1 to
200, inclusive, authorized by ordinance of said City (the "Ordinance"),
for the purpose of providing funds to pay the cost of purchasing
machinery and equipment (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the
"Facility", said Facility being further identified in the Ordinance)
to be leased to General Battery Corporation, a New York corpora-
tion qualified to do business in Kansas, pursuant to a Lease dated as
of September 1, 1976, by and between said City and said Company, by
the authority of and in conformity with the provisions, restrictions
and limitations of the Constitution and statutes of the State of
Kansas, including K.S.A. 12-1740 to 12-1749, and all amendments
thereof and acts supplemental thereto, and all other provisions
of the laws of said State applicable thereto, and this Bond and all
interest hereon are to be paid by said City of Salina, Kansas,
solely and only from the money and revenue received from the fees
charged and rental received for the use of the Facility under said
Lease and not from any other fund or source. Pursuant to the pro-
visions of said statute, the governing body of the City has pledged
said Facility and the net earnings therefrom to the payment of the
series of Bonds of which this Bond is a part and the interest thereon.

This Bond and the coupons pertaining thereto are trans -
ferable by delivery, but this Bond may be registered as to principal
on the registration books of the City at the office of The First
National Bank and Trust Company of Salina, Salina, Kansas (here-
in referred to as the "Bond Registrar") upon presentation and the
notation of such registration endorsed hereon by the Bond Registrar,
and this Bond may thereafter be transferred only on such books by
the registered owner in person or by his duly authorized attorney,
and evidence of such transfer shall be in like manner endorsed hereon.
Such transfer may be to bearer, and thereby transferability by
delivery shall be restored, subject, however, to successive regis-
trations and transfers as before. The principal of this Bond, as
registered, unless registered to bearer, shall be payable only to
the registered owner or his legal representative. Interest accruing
on this Bond will be paid only on presentation and surrender of the
attached interest coupons as they respectively become due, and
registration of this Bond as to principal as aforesaid will not
affect the transferability by delivery of such coupons; provided,
that if upon registration of this Bond, or at any time thereafter
while this Bond is registered in the name of the owner, the unmatured
coupons attached evidencing interest to be thereafter paid hereon
shall be surrendered to said Bond Registrar, a statement to that
effect will be endorsed hereon by the Bond Registrar and thereafter
interest evidenced by such surrendered coupons will be paid to the
registered owner of this Bond by mail to the address shown on the
registration books. This Bond when so converted into a Bond regis-
tered as to both principal and interest may be reconverted into a
coupon Bond at the written request of the registered owner and upon
presentation at the office of said Bond Registrar. Upon reconver-
sion the coupons representing the interest to become due thereafter
will again be attached to this Bond and a statement will be endorsed
-11-
hereon by the Bond Registrar in the registration blank on the back
of this Bond stating whether it is then registered as to principal
alone or payable to bearer.
The Bonds of the series of Bonds of which this Bond is one
are not subject to redemption prior to September 1, 1986, except that
(a) in the event the interest on this Bond is includable in the gross
income of the recipient thereof for Federal income tax purposes, other
than by reason of Section 103(c)(7)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1954 with respect to interest on this Bond for any period during
which it is held by a person who is a substantial user of the Facility
or a related -person, this Bond and the series of which this Bond is
one then outstanding shall be subject to mandatory redemption and
shall become due and payable on a redemption date established by the
City, but in no event shall such redemption date be later than 120
days after the Internal Revenue Service, the Company or the Fiscal
Agent shall be given written notice to the City of the failure of
the Bonds to qualify for such exemption, and (b) each of the Bonds
of the series of which this Bond is one is subject to redemption
and payment prior to maturity on any interest payment date at the
option of the City upon the following conditions or events, pro-
vided all of said Bonds are redeemed and paid according to their
terms: (1) if title to, or the use for a limited period of, sub-
stantially all of the land upon which the Facility is located be
condemned by any authority having the power of eminent domain; (2)
if substantially all of the Facility is damaged or destroyed by fire
or other casualty; or (3) if as a result of changes in the Constitu-
tion of the State of Kansas or of legislative or administrative
action by the State of Kansas or any political subdivision thereof,
or by the United States, or by reason of any action instituted in
any court, the Lease shall become void or unenforceable or impossi-
ble of performance without unreasonable delay, or in any other way
-12-
by reason of such change of circumstances, unreasonable burdens or
excessive liabilities are imposed on the Company or the City. The
redemption price for Bonds redeemed pursuant to this paragraph shall
be the principal amount of Bonds so redeemed, plus accrued interest
thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption and payment,
without premium.
Each of the Bonds of the series of which this Bond is one
maturing on September 1, 1991 and thereafter is subject to redemption
and payment at the option of the City, upon instructions from the
Company in whole or in part by lot, on September 1, 1986, or on any in-
terest payment date thereafter at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of principal amount) set out below, plus accrued interest
thereon to date fixed for redemption and payment:

ities in which such funds are invested for their redemption are
on deposit with the Paying Agent prior to the redemption date and
shall no longer be entitled to the benefits and protection of the
covenants contained in the Ordinance authorizing this Bond and shall

nance.

provisions aforesaid, specifying the numbers of the Bonds to be re-

ment shall be limited to funds made available to
.it for that purpose by the holders of the Bonds

fied or amended at any time by the City with the written consent of
the holders of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%)
in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds herein authorized at the time

outstanding, provided that no such modification or amendment shall
permit or be construed as permitting: (a) the modification of
any duties or responsibilities of the Fiscal Agent unless it con-
sents thereto, (b) the extension of the maturity of the principal
of any of the Bonds issued hereunder, or the extension of the

priated thereto, sufficient moneys for the payment of the principal
thereof and interest accrued to the date of maturity or redemption,
as the case may be, or if default in such payment shall have occurred
on such date, then to the date of the tender of such payments;
provided, always, that if any such Bonds shall be redeemed prior
to the maturity thereof, the City shall have elected to redeem such
Bonds and notice.of such redemption shall have been given. Any
-27-
moneys which at any time shall be deposited with the said Fiscal

discharging any of the Bonds or coupons, shall be, and are hereby,
assigned, transferred and set over to such Fiscal Agent in trust
for the respective holders of the Bonds and coupons, and such
moneys shall be and are hereby irrevocably appropriated to the

shall be the duty of said bank forthwith to return said funds to
the City. All moneys deposited with such Fiscal Agent shall be
deemed to be deposited in accordance with and subject to all of
the provisions contained in this Ordinance.

such information shall be made known to the City under the terms
of this Section 19, it will keep on file at the principal office

tive thereof) of twenty-five percent (251) or more in principal
