NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows, intending to be legally bound:
Section 1. Establishment of Account; Deposits
The Depositary agrees to establish and maintain a separate account (the "Account") in its
capacity as Depositary, acting as a custodian for the benefit of the City, under the terms of this
Agreement. The Account established hereby shall remain the property of the City. Sub-accounts
may be established within the Account when deemed necessary or convenient by the City or the
Depositary. The Depositary shall have custody of the Account, which shall be held on behalf of
and for the benefit of the City and kept separate from the other assets of the Depositary, and the
money on deposit in the Account shall be held, invested, and disbursed as directed by the City
pursuant to this Agreement.
The City hereby deposits with the Depositary, in trust, the sum of $278,493.76 to be held
by the Depositary.
Section 2. Investments
(a) The Depositary agrees to invest and reinvest funds in the Account in Permitted
Investments (as defined below), as directed in writing by the Authorized Representative of the
City.
Authorized Representative of the City means the City Manager and the City Manager's
designee, if any.
Permitted Investment means securities in which the City may invest under the laws of
the State of Alaska, as amended from time to time, and subject to the limitations and procedures
set forth therein.
(b) The City recognizes and agrees that the Depositary will not provide supervision,
recommendations or advice relating to either the investment of money held in the Account or the
purchase, sale, retention or other disposition of Permitted Investments. Earnings on Permitted
Investments shall be added to the Account. The Depositary shall be under no obligation to invest
money in the Account other than as directed by an Authorized Representative of the City and
shall be entitled to rely on such direction as to the legality of the directed investment. Any loss
or expense incurred as a result of an investment shall be borne by the Account.
(c) The Depositary is hereby authorized to trade, with disclosure to the Authorized
Representative of the City, with itself and any affiliated entity in the purchase and sale of
securities for investment, and is authorized to execute purchases and sales of Permitted
Investments through the facilities of its own trading or capital markets operations or those of any
affiliated entity. The Depositary shall send statements to the City on a monthly basis reflecting
activity in the Account for the preceding month. Although the City recognizes that it may obtain
a broker confirmation or written statement containing comparable information at no additional
cost, the City hereby agrees that confirmations of Permitted Investments are not required to be
issued by the Depositary for each month in which a monthly statement is rendered.
-2-
(d) The City acknowledges and agrees that any delivery to the City of the funds held
hereunder is subject to the sale and final settlement of Permitted Investments. Proceeds of a sale
of Permitted Investments shall be delivered on the business day on which the appropriate
instructions are delivered to the Depositary if received prior to the deadline for same day sale of
such Permitted Investments. If such instructions are received after the applicable deadline,
proceeds shall be delivered on the next succeeding business day.
(e) The Depositary shall cooperate and provide records as reasonably requested by
the Authorized Representative of the City in order to comply with the City's requirements to
compute and pay arbitrage rebate with respect to the funds held hereunder.
Section 3. Disbursement of Account
Money deposited in the Account shall be paid out from time to time by the Depositary
within one business day after receipt (not later than noon local time in San Francisco, California,
or the second business day thereafter, if received after noon local time) by the Depositary of a
direction from the Authorized Representative of the City, properly completed and executed in
substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.
Section 4. Concerning the Depositary

its officers, directors, employees and agents:
(a) is not liable for any action taken or omitted under this Agreement so long

sufficiency of any securities, checks, or other documents or instruments submitted to it in
connection with its duties hereunder;
(c) is entitled to deem the signatories of any documents or instruments

(d) has no responsibility or liability for any diminution in value of any assets
held hereunder that may result from any investments or reinvestment made in accordance with
any provision which may be contained herein;
(e) is entitled to compensation for its services hereunder as per Exhibit B

(f) if the Depositary renders any service hereunder not provided for in this
Agreement, or the Depositary is made a party to or intervenes in any litigation pertaining to this
Agreement or institutes interpleader proceedings relative hereto, the Depositary shall be
-3-
compensated reasonably by the City for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for any and
all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties, and expenses, including out-of-pocket and
incidental expenses and legal fees and expenses occasioned thereby;
(g) is under no obligation to institute any suit or action or other proceeding
under this Agreement or to enter any appearance in any suit, action or proceeding in which it
may be a defendant or to take any steps in the enforcement of its rights and powers hereunder,
nor shall be deemed to have failed to take any such action, unless and until it has been
indemnified by the City to its satisfaction against any and all costs and expenses, outlays,
counsel fees and expenses, and other disbursements, including its own reasonable fees, and if
any judgment, decree or recovery be obtained by the Depositary, payment of all sums due it, as
aforesaid, shall be a first charge against the amount of any such judgment, decree or recovery.
No provision of this Agreement requires the Depositary to risk or expend its own funds;
(h) has only those duties as are specifically provided herein and is neither
responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other
agreement, instrument or document of the City. This Agreement sets forth all matters pertinent
to the Account, and no additional obligations of the Depositary may be inferred from the terms
of this Agreement or any other agreement. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEPOSITARY BE
LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY (i) DAMAGES OR EXPENSES
ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OTHER THAN DAMAGES
THAT RESULT FROM THE DEPOSITARY'S FAILURE TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, OR (ii) SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF THE DEPOSITARY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES;
(i) has the right, but not the obligation, to consult with counsel of choice and
shall not be liable for action taken or omitted to be taken by Depositary either in accordance with
the advice of such counsel or in accordance with any opinion of counsel to the City addressed
and delivered to the Depositary;
(j) has no liability or obligation with respect to any failure or delay in the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or
indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of
God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots;
interruptions; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions; it being
understood that the Depositary shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted
practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the
circumstances; and
(k) has the right to perform any of its duties hereunder through agents,
attorneys, custodians or nominees chosen with reasonable care.
The Depositary shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds
transfer instructions ("Instructions") given pursuant to this Agreement and delivered using
Electronic Means; provided, however, that the City shall provide to the Depositary an
incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions
("Authorized Officers") and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which
incumbency certificate shall be amended by the City whenever a person is to be added or deleted
from the listing. If the City elects to give the Depositary Instructions using Electronic Means
and the Depositary in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Depositary's
understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The City understands and agrees
that the Depositary cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and
that the Depositary shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by
an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Depositary have been
sent by such Authorized Officer. The City shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized
Officers transmit such Instructions to the Depositary and that the City and all Authorized
Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and
authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the City. The
Depositary shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from
the Depositary's reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such
directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The City agrees: (i)
to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the
Depositary, including without limitation the risk of the Depositary acting on unauthorized
Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed
of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to
the Depositary and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the
method(s) selected by the City; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in
connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree
of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Depositary
immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.
"Electronic Means" shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile
transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes,
passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Depositary, or another method or system
specified by the Depositary as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.
Any banking association or corporation into which the Depositary may be merged,
converted or with which the Depositary may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Depositary shall be a party, or any banking
association or corporation to which all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Depositary shall be transferred, shall succeed to all the Depositary's rights, obligations and
immunities hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part
of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 5. Resignation or Removal of Depositary
Each of the City and the Depositary may terminate this Agreement by giving 30 days'
prior written notice to the other party. In that event, the duties of the Depositary shall terminate
30 days after receipt of such notice (or as of such earlier date as may be mutually agreeable) and
the Depositary shall then deliver the balance of the money or assets then in its possession to the
City as the City shall direct.
