*Term Bonds
The 2006 Bonds due as term bonds on December 1, 2026, are sometimes referred to herein as the "2026 Term
Bonds." The 2006 Bonds shall be issued in fully registered form in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral
multiple thereof. The date of original issue for the 2006 Bonds shall be the date of delivery thereof. Interest
on the 2006 Bonds, at the respective rates for each maturity, shall be payable semiannually on June 1 and
December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2007 (each of said dates an "Interest Payment Date") and the
2006 Bonds shall bear such interest from the date of original issue or the most recent Interest Payment Date,
whichever is later. The interest due on each Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the registered owners of
record as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which
each Interest Payment Date occurs (the "Record Date"), subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof. The
2006 Bonds shall be numbered from 1 upwards in the order of their issuance. No 2006 Bond shall be issued
originally or upon transfer or partial redemption having more than one principal maturity. The initial bond
numbering and principal amounts for each of the 2006 Bonds issued shall be designated by the Authority's
Treasurer as directed by the initial purchaser thereof. Payments of interest due on the 2006 Bonds prior to
maturity or earlier redemption shall be made by the Paying Agent and Registrar, as designated pursuant to
Section 3 hereof, by mailing a check or draft in the amount due for such interest on each Interest Payment Date
to the registered owner of each 2006 Bond, as of the Record Date for each Interest Payment Date, to such
owner's registered address as shown on the books of registration as required to be maintained in Section 3
hereof. Payments of principal and accrued interest thereon due at maturity or at any date fixed for redemption
prior to maturity shall be made by said Paying Agent and Registrar to the registered owners upon presentation
and surrender of the 2006 Bonds to said Paying Agent and Registrar. The Authority and the Paying Agent and
Registrar may treat the registered owner of any 2006 Bond as the absolute owner of such 2006 Bond for the
purpose of making payments thereon and for all other purposes and neither the Authority nor the Paying Agent
and Registrar shall be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary, whether such 2006 Bond or any
installment of interest due thereon shall be overdue or not. All payments on account of interest or principal
made to the registered owner of any 2006 Bond in accordance with the terms of this Resolution shall be valid
and effectual and shall be a discharge of the Authority and the Paying Agent and Registrar, in respect of the
liability upon the 2006 Bonds or claims for interest to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Section 3. The Treasurer of the Authority is hereby designated as the Paying Agent and Registrar for
the 2006 Bonds. The Paying Agent and Registrar shall keep and maintain for the Authority books for the
registration and transfer of the 2006 Bonds at the office of the Authority. The names and registered addresses
of the registered owner or owners of the 2006 Bonds shall at all times be recorded in such books. Any 2006
Bond may be transferred pursuant to its provisions at the office of said Paying Agent and Registrar by
surrender of such 2006 Bond for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form
satisfactory to said Paying Agent and Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner in person or by such
owner's duly authorized agent, and thereupon the Paying Agent and Registrar on behalf of the Authority will
deliver at his or her office (or send by registered mail to the transferee owner or owners thereof at the transferee
owner's or owners' risk and expense), registered in the name of the transferee owner or owners, a new 2006
Bond or 2006 Bonds of the same interest rate, aggregate principal amount and maturity. To the extent of the
denominations authorized for the 2006 Bonds by this Resolution, one 2006 Bond may be transferred for
several such 2006 Bonds of the same interest rate and maturity, and for a like aggregate principal amount, and
several such 2006 Bonds may be transferred for one or several such 2006 Bonds, respectively, of the same
interest rate and maturity and for a like aggregate principal amount. In every case of transfer of a 2006 Bond,
the surrendered 2006 Bond shall be cancelled and destroyed. All 2006 Bonds issued upon transfer of the 2006
Bonds so surrendered shall be valid obligations of the Authority evidencing the same obligations as the 2006
Bonds surrendered and shall be entitled to all the benefits and protection of this Resolution to the same extent
as the 2006 Bonds upon transfer of which they were delivered. The Authority and said Paying Agent and
Registrar shall not be required to transfer any 2006 Bond during any period from any Record Date until its
immediately following Interest Payment Date or to transfer any 2006 Bond called for redemption for a period
of 30 days next preceding the date fixed for redemption.
Section 4. In the event that payments of interest due on the 2006 Bonds on an Interest Payment Date
are not timely made, such interest shall cease to be payable to the registered owners as of the Record Date for
such Interest Payment Date and shall be payable to the registered owners of the 2006 Bonds as of a special date
of record for payment of such defaulted interest as shall be designated by the Paying Agent and Registrar
whenever monies for the purpose of paying such defaulted interest become available.
Section 5. 2006 Bonds maturing on or after December 1, 2011, shall be subject to redemption, in
whole or in part, prior to maturity at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of original issue
thereof, at par plus accrued interest on the principal amount redeemed to the date fixed for redemption. The
2026 Term Bonds are required to be redeemed prior to their stated maturity, commencing on December 1,

multiples thereof. Any 2006 Bond redeemed in part only shall be surrendered to said Paying Agent and
Registrar in exchange for a new 2006 Bond evidencing the unredeemed principal thereof. Notice of
redemption of any 2006 Bond called for optional redemption shall be given at the direction of the Authority by
said Paying Agent and Registrar by mail not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, first class,
postage prepaid, sent to the registered owner of such 2006 Bond at said owner's registered address. Notice of

the date of original issue and the date fixed for redemption and shall state that such 2006 Bond or 2006 Bonds
are to be presented for prepayment at the office of said Paying Agent and Registrar. In case of any 2006 Bond
partially redeemed, such notice shall specify the portion of the principal amount of such 2006 Bond to be
redeemed. No defect in the mailing of notice for any 2006 Bond shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings
of the Authority designating the 2006 Bonds called for redemption or the effectiveness of such call for 2006
Bonds for which notice by mail has been properly given and the Authority shall have the right to direct further
notice of redemption for such 2006 Bond for which defective notice has been given.

Authority with the manual or facsimile signatures of the Chairman and the Secretary and shall have imprinted
or impressed thereon the Authority's seal. The 2006 Bonds shall be issued initially as "book -entry -only" bonds
under the services of The Depository Trust Company (the "Depository"), with one typewritten bond per
maturity being issued to the Depository. In such connection said officers are authorized to execute and deliver
a Letter of Representations (the "Letter of Representations") in the form required by the Depository (which
may be in the form of a blanket letter, including any such letter previously executed and delivered), for and on
behalf of the Authority, which shall thereafter govern matters with respect to registration, transfer, payment and
redemption of the 2006 Bonds. With respect to the issuance of the 2006 Bonds as "book -entry -only" bonds,
the following provisions shall apply:
(a) The Authority and the Paying Agent and Registrar shall have no responsibility or
obligation to any broker -dealer, bank or other financial institution for which the Depository holds 2006
Bonds as securities depository (each, a 'Bond Participant") or to any person who is an actual purchaser
of a 2006 Bond from a Bond Participant while the 2006 Bonds are in book -entry form (each, a
"Beneficial Owner") with respect to the following:
(i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, any nominees of the
Depository or any Bond Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the
2006 Bonds,
(ii) the delivery to any Bond Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other
person, other than the Depository, of any notice with respect to the 2006 Bonds,
including any notice of redemption, or
(iii) the payment to any Bond Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other
person, other than the Depository, of any amount with respect to the 2006 Bonds.
The Paying Agent and Registrar shall make payments with respect to the 2006 Bonds
only to or upon the order of the Depository or its nominee, and all such payments
shall be valid and effective fully to satisfy and discharge the obligations with respect
to such 2006 Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than
the Depository shall receive an authenticated 2006 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 2006 Bonds requested by the Depository in appropriate amounts. Whenever the
Depository requests the Paying Agent and 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 Authority, for a substitute depository willing and able upon reasonable and customary terms to
maintain custody of the 2006 Bonds or (ii) to make available 2006 Bonds registered in whatever name or
names as the Beneficial Owners transferring or exchanging such 2006 Bonds shall designate.
(c) If the Authority determines that it is desirable that certificates representing the 2006 Bonds be
delivered to the ultimate beneficial owners of the 2006 Bonds and so notifies the Paying Agent and Registrar in
writing, the Paying Agent and Registrar shall so notify the Depository, whereupon the Depository will notify
the Bond Participants of the availability through the Depository of bond certificates representing the 2006
Bonds. In such event, the Paying Agent and Registrar shall issue, transfer and exchange bond certificates
representing the 2006 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 2006 Bond
is registered in the name of the Depository or any nominee thereof, all payments with respect to such 2006
Bond and all notices with respect to such 2006 Bond shall be made and given, respectively, to the Depository
as provided in the Letters of Representations.
(e) Registered ownership of the 2006 Bonds may be transferred on the books of registration
maintained by the Paying Agent and Registrar, and the 2006 Bonds may be delivered in physical form to the
following:
(i) any successor securities depository or its nominee;
(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.
(f) In the event of any partial redemption of a 2006 Bond unless and until such partially 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 2006 Bonds issued to the Depository or its nominee shall contain a legend to such effect.If for
any reason the Depository is terminated or 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 2006
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 2006 Bond shall cease to be such officer before the
delivery of such 2006 Bond (including 2006 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 2006 Bond. The 2006 Bonds shall not be valid and binding on the Authority until authenticated by the
Paying Agent and Registrar. The 2006 Bonds shall be delivered to the Paying Agent and Registrar for
registration and authentication. Upon execution, registration, and authentication of the 2006 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 % of the principal amount of the 2006 Bonds plus accrued
interest thereon (if any) to date of payment for the 2006 Bonds. Such purchaser and its agents, representatives
and counsel (including its bond counsel) are hereby authorized to take such actions on behalf of the City as are
necessary to effectuate the closing of the issuance and sale of the Series 2006 Bonds, including without
limitation, authorizing the release of the Series 2006 Bonds by the Depository at closing. The officers of the
City (or any one of them) are hereby authorized to execute and deliver the Bond Purchase Agreement for and
on behalf of the City. Said initial purchaser shall have the right to direct the registration of the 2006 Bonds and
the denominations thereof within each maturity, subject to the restrictions of this Resolution.

as described in Section 1 hereof, including the payment, if any, of note, warrant or other indebtedness incurred
for the payment of certain of said costs and reimbursement to the Authority for costs advanced. Funds not
initially required for such costs may be invested in permissible investments of cities of the first class. All such
proceeds and funds shall be applied upon order of the members of the Authority. Accrued interest, if any,

Section 11. So long as the 2003 Bonds, the 2006 Bonds herein authorized or any additional bonds as
hereinafter permitted to be authorized are outstanding and unpaid, the Authority agrees to certify annually to
the governing body of the City of Blair, Nebraska, a tax for airport purposes (including the authorized levy of
up to 3.50 per $100 of taxable valuation) on the taxable valuation of all taxable property in such City sufficient

as the same fall due and further covenants and agrees that it will establish, maintain and collect fees, rents and
other charges for the use and occupancy of its airport facility and for all services, facilities and commodities
sold, furnished or supplied from said airport facility which, together with the proceeds of such levy described
above shall be in the aggregate sufficient to provide for the maintenance, operation and repair of the airport
facility and for the payment of interest on and principal of the 2003 Bonds, the 2006 Bonds herein authorized
and any such additional bonds as the same become due. The Authority will punctually perform all duties with
reference to the 2006 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 pursuant to Section 11 of this Resolution and the income from any additions and
improvements to said airport facility for payment of the 2003 Bonds and the 2006 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 and the 2006 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 and the 2006 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 and
2006 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 and the 2006 Bonds herein authorized. The Authority, however, shall
have the right to issue additional bonds on a parity or equality with the 2003 Bonds and the 2006 Bonds
provided the following conditions are met:
(a) Any defaults on bonds issued under this Resolution have been made good; and
(b) 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

proposed additional bonds to be issued as the same fall due.
Additional bonds of the Authority issued in conformity with the conditions set forth shall stand on a
parity with the 2003 Bonds and the 2006 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 and the 2006 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 the 2006 Bonds and any additional
bonds, the principal of 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 the 2006
-- Bon s or any"part thereof -or any such additional -bonds of 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 and the 2006
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 and the 2006
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 2006 Bonds which in any way would be prejudicial to the rights of the registered owners of the 2006
Bonds without first obtaining the written consent of the registered owners of not less than seventy-five percent
(75%) in principal amount of said 2006 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 2006 Bonds and the registered owner of any one or
more of the 2006 Bonds shall have the right for the equal benefit and protection of all registered owners of
such 2006 Bonds to take any action permitted by law to enforce the provisions of this Resolution and the

owners of the 2006 Bonds that so long as said 2006 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 (or, in the context of workers' compensation or liability insurance,
paying the associated claim or claims) with any surplus remaining available for general corporate purposes of
the Authority so long as payment of the 2003 Bonds, 2006 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 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

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 2006
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 of and interest on said bonds, which would cause said bonds to be arbitrage bonds within

103(b) and 148 and all applicable regulations thereunder throughout the term of said bond issue. The
