obligation to.any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for which the Depository holds

Bond, except as provided in (e) below.
(b) Upon receipt by the Paying Agent and Registrar of written notice from the
Depository to the effect that the Depository is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities,
the Paying Agent and Registrar shall issue, transfer and exchange 2003 Bonds requested by the

Registrar to do so, the Paying Agent and Registrar will cooperate with the Depository in taking
appropriate action after reasonable notice (i) to arrange, with the prior written consent of the

whereupon the Depository will notify the Bond Participants of the availability through the
Depository of bond certificates representing the 2003 Bonds. In such event, the Paying Agent
and Registrar shall issue, transfer and exchange bond certificates representing the 2003 Bonds as
requested by the Depository in appropriate amounts and in authorized denominations.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so long as any
2003 Bond is registered in the name of the Depository or any nominee thereof, all payments with

given, respectively, to the Depository as provided in the Letters of Representations.
(e) Registered ownership of the 2003 Bonds may be transferred on the books of
registration maintained by the Paying Agent and Registrar, and the 2003 Bonds may be delivered
in physical form to the following:

(ii) any person, upon (A) the resignation of the Depository from its
functions as depository or (B) termination of the use of the Depository pursuant
to this Section.

redeemed bond has been replaced in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution, the books
and records of the Paying Agent and Registrar shall govern and establish the principal amount of
such bond as is then outstanding and all of the 2003 Bonds issued to the Depository or its
nominee shall contain a legend to such effect.
If for any reason the Depository resigns and is not replaced, the Authority shall immediately
provide a supply of printed bond certificates for issuance upon the transfers from the Depository and
subsequent transfers or in the event of partial redemption. In the event that such supply of bond
certificates shall be insufficient to meet the requirements of the Paying Agent and Registrar for issuance
of replacement 2003 Bonds upon transfer or partial redemption, the Authority .agrees to order printed an
additional supply of bond certificates and to direct their execution by manual or facsimile signatures of its
then duly qualified and acting Chairman and Secretary and by imprinting or impressing thereon the
Authority's seal. In case any officer whose signature or facsimile thereof shall appear on any 2003 Bond
shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such 2003 Bond (including 2003 Bonds delivered to
the Paying Agent and Registrar for issuance upon transfer or partial redemption), such signature or such
facsimile signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer or
officers had remained in office until the delivery of such 2003 Bond. The 2003 Bonds shall not be valid

shall be delivered to the Paying Agent and Registrar for registration and authentication. Upon execution,
registration, and authentication of the 2003 Bonds, they shall be delivered to the Treasurer, who is
authorized to deliver them to Ameritas' Investment Corp., as initial purchaser thereof, upon receipt of

and repair of the airport facility and for the payment of interest on and principal of the 2003 Bonds herein
authorized and any such additional bonds as the same become due. The Airport Authority will punctually
perform all duties with reference to the 2003 Bonds required by the Constitution and laws of the State of
Nebraska and this Resolution, including the making and collecting of sufficient charges for the use of said
airport facility.
Section 12. The Authority hereby pledges and hypothecates all revenues, income, receipts,
profits and other monies derived from and to be derived from the operation of its airport facility and from
the levy of taxes required to be certified by Section 11 of this Resolution and the income from any
additions and improvements to said airport facility for payment of the 2003 Bonds herein authorized, both
principal and interest, equally and ratably. The Authority agrees that all revenues, income, receipts,
profits and other monies of the Authority from whatever source derived, including tax revenues, shall be
paid to the Treasurer of the Authority who shall not commingle such money with any other money under
his control. The pledge of the revenues, including any and all tax revenues, provided for in this resolution
for the 2003 Bonds, subject to the right of the Authority to issue additional bonds as provided in this
resolution, is intended as a first and prior pledge of, lien on and security interest in such revenues for the
payment of principal of and interest on the 2003 Bonds, superior to any pledge or promise made with
respect to any other indebtedness of the Authority as to the revenues hereby pledged and is intended to be
a full exercise of the powers of the Authority provided for in Article 5, Chapter 3, R.R.S. Neb. 1997, as
amended, with respect to such revenues.
Section 13, The Authority hereby covenants and agrees that so long as any of the 2003 Bonds
remain outstanding and unpaid, the Authority shall not issue any additional bonds or other obligations
payable out of the revenues, income, receipts, profits and other monies derived from the airport facility
and the levy of taxes as described in Section 11 of this Resolution, or any part of any of the foregoing,
which are superior to the 2003 Bonds herein authorized. The Authority, however, shall have the right to
issue additional bonds on a parity or equality with the 2003 Bonds provided the following conditions are
met:
(a) Any defaults on bonds issued under this Resolution have been made good:
(b) Additional bonds of equal standing to the 2003 Bonds may be issued so Iong as the
Resolution under which the additional bonds are issued requires the Authority to certify annually
to the governing body of the City of Blair, Nebraska a tax for airport purposes sufficient in
amount to pay the principal and interest on the bonds then outstanding and the proposed
additional bonds to be issued as the same fall due.
Additional bonds of the Airport Authority issued in conformity with the conditions set forth shall
stand on a parity with the 2003 Bonds and the Authority may make equal provisions for the payment of
said bonds and the interest thereon out of the funds of the Airport and may also provide for. the creation of
reasonable reserves with respect thereto. The term "additional bonds" as used in this Resolution shall
mean only those bonds of equal lien to the 2003 Bonds which are authorized as permitted in this Section
13. Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall be construed as prohibiting the issuance by the Authority
of bonds or notes which are subordinate to the 2003 Bonds and any additional bonds, the principal and
interest of which may be payable from surplus monies, nor shall it prevent the Authority from issuing
refunding bonds which will take up and pay off in full the 2003 Bonds or any part thereof or any such
additional bonds or any part thereof.
Section 14. The Authority hereby agrees that in the event that collections of tax levy monies
permitted to be certified by the Authority are insufficient to satisfy the.requirements of the 2003 Bonds
issued hereunder, the Authority will establish, maintain and collect fees, rents and other charges for the
use and occupancy of the airport facility operated by it for all services, facilities and commodities sold,
furnished or supplied from said airport facility, which, together with the proceeds of the maximum levy
permitted to be certified shall be in the aggregate, sufficient to provide for the maintenance, operation and
repair of said airport facility and for the payment of interest on and principal of the 2003 Bonds issued
hereunder and any additional bonds, provided, however, that the Authority reserves the right to pay
principal on the bonds of this issue or any additional bonds by the issuance of refunding bonds as
described herein.
Section 15. No amendment shall be made to this Resolution nor to any rights of the registered
owners of the 2003 Bonds which in any way would be prejudicial to the rights of the registered owners of
the 2003 Bonds without first obtaining the written consent of the registered owners of not less than
seventy-five percent (75%) in principal amount of said 2003 Bonds then outstanding under this
Resolution. The provisions of this Resolution, including the covenants and agreements herein contained,
shall constitute a contract by and between the Authority and the registered owners of the 2003 Bonds and
the registered owner of any one or more of the 2003 Bonds shall have the right for the equal benefit and
protection of all registered owners of such 2003 Bonds to take any action permitted by law to enforce the
provisions of this Resolution and the payment of the outstanding 2003 Bonds.
Section 16. The Authority further covenants and agrees with each of the purchasers and
registered owners of the 2003 Bonds that so long as said 2003 Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid the
Authority will operate and maintain the airport facility operated by it in an efficient manner and at a
reasonable cost and in good repair; that the Authority will carry the customary usual insurance on airport
facilities of the kind maintained and in the amounts normally carried by other similar airports, such
insurance to include but not be limited to worker's compensation, public liability, tornado and fire
insurance and flood insurance, if available at reasonable rates, and in the event of loss, the proceeds of
such insurance shall be used in reconstructing or replacing the property damaged or destroyed with any
surplus remaining available for general corporate purposes of the Authority so long as payment of the
2003 Bonds and any additional bonds has been fully provided for as to payments falling due within the
year in which such surplus monies become available.
Section 17. The Treasurer of the Airport Authority and the Secretary of the Authority and any
other official or employee of the Authority having custody of the funds described and referred to in this
Resolution shall be bonded, in addition to their regular official bonds, in amounts sufficient to cover at all
times the amount of funds of the Authority held by them and the cost of premiums for obtaining such
bonds may be paid as an ordinary operating expense of the Authority.
Section 18. The Authority is hereby authorized and directed to keep proper books, records and
accounts in which complete correct entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the tax levy funds
described herein and the funds of the airport facility. The Authority further agrees that it will within 90
days following the close of each fiscal year cause an audit of its books and records to be made by a
certified public accountant showing receipts and disbursements for all accounts of the Authority and such
audit will be furnished to the initial purchaser of the 2003 Bonds, and, upon request, to any registered
owner of twenty-five percent (25%) or more in principal amount of the 2003 Bonds within 120 days after
the close of the fiscal year, and will be available for inspection by the registered owner of said 2003
Bonds. Any registered owner or owners of twenty-five percent (25%) or more in aggregate principal
amount of the. 2003 Bonds then outstanding shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect the
airport facility and all records, accounts and data of the Airport Authority relating thereto.
Section 19. The Authority hereby covenants and agrees that, while any of the 2003 Bonds are
outstanding, the Airport Authority will not grant any franchise or right to any person, firm or corporation
to own or operate an airport facility in competition with that owned by the Authority.
Section 20. The Authority hereby covenants with the purchasers and registered owners of the
2003 Bonds that it will make no use of the proceeds of said issue, including monies held in any sinking
fund for the payment of principal and interest on said bonds, which would cause said bonds to be
arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Sections 103(b) and 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and further covenants to comply with said Sections 103(b) and 148 and all
applicable regulations thereunder throughout the term of said bond issue. The Authority. hereby,
covenants and agrees to take all actions necessary under the Code to maintain the tax exempt status (as to
taxpayers generally) of interest payable on the 2003 Bonds. The Authority- hereby designates the 2003
Bonds as its "qualified tax-exempt obligations" pursuant to Section 265(b)(3)(B)(i)(Ill) of the Code and
covenants and warrants that it does not reasonably expect to issue bonds or other obligations aggregating
in principal amount more than $10,000,000 during calendar 2003. The Authority agrees to take all further
actions, if any, necessary on its part to qualify the 2003 Bonds as such "qualified tax-exempt obligations."
Section 21. The Authority's obligations under this Resolution and the liens, pledges, covenants
and agreements of the Authority herein made or provided for with respect to any or all of the 2003 Bonds
shall be fully discharged and satisfied as to any or all of such 2003 Bonds and any such 2003 Bond shall
no longer be deemed to be outstanding hereunder if such 2003 Bond has been purchased by the Authority
and cancelled or when the payment of the principal of and interest thereon to the respective date of
maturity or redemption (a) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms
thereof or (b) shall have been provided for by depositing with a national or state bank having trust
