(b) The City will enter into a loan agreement (or other revenue agreement) with the Borrower

Bonds when due and requiring the Borrower to pay all casts of maintaining and insuring the Nursing
Facility and the Housing Facility as improved by the 2016 Project, including any payments in lieu of
taxes thereon.
In all events, it is understood, however, that the Bonds shall not constitute a charge, lien or
encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the City except the City's interest in the loan or
revenue agreement with respect to the Bonds and the Borrower's facilities, and the Bonds, when, as, and
2
if issued, shall recite in substance that the Bonds, including interest thereon, are payable solely from the
revenues received from the 2016 Project, the property pledged to the payment thereof and other sources
of security for the Bonds, and shall not constitute a pecuniary liability of, or a general or moral obligation
of the City, within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation. The full faith, credit and
taxing power of the City are not pledged to the payment of the Bonds.
(c) The Bonds are intended to be sold to Compass Bank d/bla BBVA. Compass or an affiliate
thereof (the "Lender") in a negotiated sale as authorized by the Act. The repayment of the Bonds to the
Lender will be secured by an assignment of the. loan or revenue agreement (subject to certain retained
rights for the City) and a mortgage or trust indenture.
(d) In preliminarily authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, the refinancing of the Series 2010
Bonds and the financing of the installation, renovation, rehabilitation, construction and equipping of the

public welfare of the City and its residents by retaining and improving affordable senior housing, assisted
living and nursing home facilities in the City and otherwise furthering the purposes and policies of the
Act.
Section 3. Public Hearin .
3.01. Barnes & Thornburg LLP, as bond counsel to the City, with cooperation from City staff
and staff of the Borrower, has prepared a Notice of Public Hearing (the "Hearing Notice") with respect to
the refinancing of the Series 2010 Bonds, the 2016 Project and the issuance of the Bonds by the City.
The Hearing Notice will be published in the Daily Inter Lake once a week for three consecutive weeks in
preparation for a public hearing to be held by the City Council on Tuesday, January 19, 2016, at or after
7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers located in Kalispell City Hall at 201 V" Avenue East, Kalispell,
Montana. All persons who appear at the public hearing will be given an opportunity to express their
views with respect to the refinancing of the 2010 Bonds, the 2016 Project and the issuance of the Bonds.
The City Council will consider the views of the public expressed at the public hearing, any written
comments filed with the City Clerk and the information submitted by the Borrower prior to the decision
by the City Council on whether to issue the Bonds. The Hearing Notice will be published by Barnes &
Thornburg LLP, as bond counsel to the City, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

installation, renovation, rehabilitation, construction and equipping of the 2016 Project and the related
costs discussed in Section 1.07 of this Resolution, subject to final approval following the preparation of
bond documents, and subject to final determination by this City Council that the financing of the 2016
Project and the issuance of the Bonds are in the best interest of the City.

Section 5. Reimbursement of Costs under the Code.
5.01. The United States Department of the Treasury has promulgated final regulations
governing the use of the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds, all or a portion of which are to be used to
reimburse the City or a borrower from the City for project expenditures paid prior to the date of issuance
of such bonds. Those regulations (Treasury Regulations, Section 1.150-2) (the "Regulations") require
that the City adopt a statement of official intent to reimburse an original expenditure not later than sixty
(60) days after payment of the original. expenditure. The Regulations also generally require that the
Bonds be issued and the reimbursement allocation made from the proceeds of the bonds occur within
eighteen (1 9) months after the later of: (i) the date the expenditure is paid; or (ii) the date the 2016
Project is placed in service or abandoned, but in no event more than three (3) years after the date the
expenditure is paid. The Regulations generally permit reimbursement of capital expenditures and costs of
issuance of the Bonds.
5.02. To the extent any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be applied to expenditures
with respect to the 2016 Project, the City reasonably expects to reimburse the Borrower for the
expenditures made for costs of the 2016 Project from the proceeds of the Bonds after the date of payment
of all or a portion of such expenditures. All reimbursed expenditures shall be capital expenditures, a cost
of issuance of the Bonds, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of
the Regulations and also qualifying expenditures under the Act.
Based on representations by the Borrower as of the date hereof, other than (i) expenditures to be
paid or reimbursed from sources other than the Bonds, (ii) expenditures permitted to be reimbursed under
prior regulations pursuant to the transitional provision contained in Section 1.150-20)(2)(i)(B) of the
Regulations, (iii) expenditures constituting preliminary expenditures within the meaning of Section 1.150-
2(f)(2) of the Regulations, or (iv) expenditures in a "de minimus" amount (as defined in Section 1.150-
2(f)(1) of the Regulations), no expenditures with respect to the 2016 Project have been made by the
Borrower more than sixty (60) days before the date of adoption of this resolution.
5.03. Based on representations by the Borrower, as of the date hereof, there are no funds of the
Borrower reserved, allocated on a long term -basis or otherwise set aside (or reasonably expected to be
reserved, allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside) to provide permanent financing for the
expenditures related. to the 2016 Project to be financed from proceeds of the Bonds, other than pursuant to
the issuance of the Bonds. This resolution, therefore, is determined to be consistent with the budgetary
and financial circumstances of the Borrower as they exist or are reasonably foreseeable on the date
hereof.
Section 6. Costs. The Borrower will pay the administrative fees of the City with respect to
the original issuance of the Bonds and pay, or, upon demand, reimburse the City for payment of, any and
all costs incurred by the City in connection with the 2016 Project and the issuance of the Bonds, whether
or not the Bonds are issued.
Section 7. Commitment Conditional. The adoption of this resolution does not constitute a
guarantee or a firm commitment that the City will issue the Bonds as requested by the Borrower. If,
based on comments received at a public hearing to be held pursuant to this resolution, or other
information made available to or obtained by the City during its review of the 2016 Project, it appears that
the 2016 Project or the issuance of Bonds to finance or refinance the costs thereof is not in the public
interest or is inconsistent with the purposes of the Act or the Code, the City reserves the right not to grant
final approval to the issuance of the Bonds. The City also retains the right, in its sole discretion, to
withdraw from participation and accordingly not issue the Bonds should the City Council, at any time
prior to the issuance thereof, determine that it is in the best interests of the City not to issue the Bonds or
11
should the parties to the transaction be unable to reach agreement as to the terms and conditions of any of
the documents for the transaction.
Section S. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its
passage.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Kalispell, Montana, this 7th day of
December, 2015.
