(a) Authorization. Under the provisions of the Enabling Act, the City is authorized to issue
and sell its revenue bonds payable during a term not exceeding forty years from their date of issue, to
provide funds for the reconstruction, improvement, betterment and extension of the System or to refund its
revenue bonds issued for such purpose; provided that the bonds and the interest thereon are to be payable
solely out of the net income and revenues to be derived from rates, fees and charges for the services,
facilities and commodities furnished by the undertaking, and are not to create any general obligation for the
payment of which taxes may be levied except to pay for services provided by the undertaking to the City.
(b) The System. The City, pursuant to the Enabling Act and other laws of the State, has
established and presently owns and operates the System.
(c) The 2023 Project. After investigation of the facts and as authorized by the Enabling Act,
this City Council has determined it to be necessary and desirable and in the best interests of the City to
acquire and construct the 2023 Project.
(d) Outstanding Bonds. Pursuant to the Enabling Act and the Ordinance, the City has
previously issued, and has outstanding, the Series 2004 Bond, the Series 2007 Bond, the Series 2013 Bond,
the Series 2018B Bond, the Series 2018C Bond, and the Series 2021A Bond. The Series 2004 Bond, the
Series 2007 Bond, the Series 2013 Bond, the Series 2018B Bond, the Series 2018C Bond, the Series 2021 A
Bond, and the Series 2023B Bond are payable from Net Revenues of the System, and the Series 2023A
Bond is payable solely out of Surplus Net Revenues. No other bonds or indebtedness are outstanding that

No. 859 to issue Additional Bonds payable from the Revenue Bond Account of the Fund on a parity as to
both principal and interest with the Outstanding Bonds the conditions of Section 4.03 of Ordinance No. 859,
are satisfied. In no event shall any additional Bonds be issued and made payable from the Revenue Bond
Account if the City is then in default in any payment of principal of or interest on any Outstanding Bonds
L']
payable therefrom, or if there then exists any deficiency in the balances required by the Ordinance to be
maintained in any of the accounts of the Fund, which will not be cured or restored upon the issuance of the
additional Bonds. Based on a certificate executed or to be executed by the City Manager and the Finance
Director, or either of them, it is hereby determined that the City is authorized to issue (i) $1,400,000 in
aggregate principal amount of Additional Bonds pursuant to Section 4.03 of Ordinance No. 859 payable
from and secured by the Net Revenues on a parity with the Outstanding bonds, and (ii) $375,000 in
aggregate principal amount of Additional Bonds payable and secured on a junior and subordinate basis to

The provisions of Section 2.1(e) of Resolution No 8579 adopted on July 2, 2018, amended all of
the prior Ordinances (including Section 4.03 of the Original Ordinance) such that the provisions of Section
2.1(e) of Resolution No. 8579 apply to the issuance of Additional Bonds going forward for the Borrower
and the required debt service coverage ratio is reduced from 125% to 110% for all Additional Bonds to be

Bond Counsel referred to in subparagraph (1) above, (A) that the acquisition or construction of the
Project was begun no earlier than March 7, 1985 or the debt was incurred no earlier than March 7,
1985, (B) of the City's title to the Project, (C) of costs of such Project and that such costs have been
paid by the City, and (D) if such costs were paid before adoption of this Supplemental Resolution

Project, the City shall submit to the DNRC and the Trustee a signed request for disbursement on the form
prescribed by the DNRC, with all attachments required by such form. The City may obtain disbursements
only for costs which have been legally incurred and are due and payable. All 2023 Loan disbursements
will be made to the City only upon proof that cost was incurred.
19
(d) Provided that the EPA Capitalization Grant is available to the Program, from and after the
2023B First Advance, the 2023 Loans shall be disbursed, subject to the other terms and conditions of this
Supplemental Resolution, in the following order:
(i) First, the total amount of each advance will be split equally between the 2023A
Loan and the 2023B Loan, until the entire amount of the 2023A Loan is advanced; provided that
the initial advance shall include the 2023B First Advance.
(ii) Second, after the 2023A Loan is advanced in full, all advances will be from the
2023B Loan.
(e) The City shall not be entitled to, and the DNRC shall have no obligation to make, the
2023B First Advance or any subsequent advance of any amounts under the 2023B Loan until such time as
the City shall have funded the Reserve in an amount then required to satisfy the Reserve Requirement for
the applicable issue.
(f) The City shall submit the request for the 2023B First Advance in the form required by the
DNRC so that it is received in sufficient time for the DNRC to process the information by the date desired
by the City for the making of the 2023B First Advance.
(g) For refinancings, a disbursement schedule complying with the requirements of the Clean
Water Act shall be established by the DNRC and the City at Closing.
(h) If all or a portion of the 2023 Loans is made to reimburse a City for 2023 Project costs paid
by it prior to Closing, the City shall present at Closing the items required by Section 4.1(b) relating to such
costs. The Trustee shall disburse such amounts to the City pursuant to a disbursement schedule complying
with the requirements of the Clean Water Act established by the DNRC and the City at the Closing.
(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be obligated to
disburse the 2023 Loans any faster or to any greater extent than it has available EPA Capitalization Grants,
Bond proceeds and other amounts available therefor in the Revolving Fund. The DNRC shall not be
required to do "overmatching" pursuant to Section 5.04(b) of the Indenture, but may do so in its discretion.
The City acknowledges that if 2023 Project costs are incurred faster than the City projected at Closing,
there may be delays in making 2023 Loan disbursements for such costs because of the schedule under which
EPA makes EPA Capitalization Grant money available to the DNRC. The DNRC will use its reasonable
best efforts to obtain an acceleration of such schedule if necessary.
0) Upon making each 2023A Loan disbursement and 2023B Loan disbursement, the Trustee
shall note such disbursement on Schedule A to the Series 2023A Bond and the Series 2023B Bond,
respectively. At Closing, Schedule A to the Series 2023B Bond shall note the 2023B First Advance that is
made.
(k) The City agrees that it will deposit in the Reserve upon receipt thereof, on the date of the
2023B First Advance and any subsequent disbursement dates, any proceeds of the 2023B Loan borrowed
for the purpose of increasing the balance in the Reserve to equal the Reserve Requirement. The City further
acknowledges and agrees that any portion of the 2023 Loans representing capitalized interest shall be
advanced only on Payment Dates and shall be transferred by the Trustee on the Payment Date directly to
the Revenue Bond Account. The amount of any such transfer shall be a credit against the interest payments
due on the Series 2023 Bonds and interest thereon shall accrue only from the date of transfer.
2, ,
(1) Compliance by the City with its representations, covenants and agreements contained in
this Supplemental Resolution and the Collateral Documents shall be a further condition precedent to the
disbursement of the 2023 Loans in whole or in part. The DNRC and the Trustee, in their sole and absolute
discretion, may make one or more disbursements, in whole or in part, notwithstanding such noncompliance,
and without liability to make any subsequent disbursement of the 2023 Loans.
Section 4.2. Commencement of Loan Term. The City's obligations under this Supplemental
Resolution and the Collateral Documents shall commence on the date hereof unless otherwise provided in
this Supplemental Resolution. However, the obligation to make payments under Article V hereof shall
commence only upon the first disbursement by the Trustee of the 2023B First Advance.
Section 4.3. Termination of Loan Term. The City's obligations under this Supplemental
Resolution and the Collateral Documents in respect of the Series 2023 Bonds shall terminate upon payment
in full of all amounts due under the Series 2023 Bonds and this Supplemental Resolution; provided,
however, that the covenants and obligations provided in Article VI of this Supplemental Resolution shall
survive the termination of this Supplemental Resolution.
Section 4.4. 2023 Loan Closing Submissions. On or prior to the Closing, the City will have
delivered to the DNRC and the Trustee the closing submissions required by Section 7.05 of the Indenture.

payments required by the Ordinance and the Series 2023 Bonds and to perform its other agreements
contained in the Ordinance, the Series 2023 Bonds and Collateral Documents shall be absolute and

or discontinue any payments provided for in the Ordinance and the Series 2023 Bonds, (b) shall perform
all its other agreements in the Ordinance, the Series 2023 Bonds, and the Collateral Documents and (c) shall
not terminate the Ordinance, the Series 2023 Bonds or the Collateral Documents for any cause, including

with respect to the Series 2023A Bond, solely out of Surplus Net Revenues, and shall not, except at the
option of the City and as permitted by law, be payable out of any other revenues of the City. The obligations
of the City under the Ordinance and the Series 2023 Bonds shall never constitute an indebtedness of the
City within the meaning of any State constitutional provision or statutory or charter limitation and shall
never constitute or give rise to a pecuniary liability of the City or a charge against its general credit or taxing
power. The taxing powers of the City may not be used to pay principal of or interest on the Series 2023
Bonds, no funds or property of the City other than the Net Revenues may be required to be used to pay
principal of or interest on the Series 2023B Bond, and no funds or property of the City other than the Surplus

Replacement and Depreciation Account within the Fund and that the Ordinance requires the City to make
regular monthly deposits into the Replacement and Depreciation Account from the Net Revenues of the
System. The City hereby irrevocably promises to increase the monthly deposit to the Replacement and
Depreciation Account by an amount agreed to by the City and DNRC upon issuance of the Series 2023B
Bond. The City shall periodically review (at least every 3 years) the amount that it is depositing in the
Replacement and Depreciation Account and adjust the amount necessary to be deposited monthly into the
Replacement and Depreciation Account if the City determines that such increased amount is prudent based
upon the City's review.

THE SERIES 2023 BONDS
Section 8.1. Net Revenues Available. The City is authorized to charge just and equitable rates,
charges and rentals for all services directly or indirectly furnished by the System, and to pledge and
appropriate to the Outstanding Bonds, including the Series 2023B Bond, the Net Revenues (and in respect
of the Series 2023A Bond, if necessary, the Surplus Net Revenues) to be derived from the operation of the
System, including improvements, betterments or extensions thereof hereafter constructed or acquired. The
Net Revenues to be produced by such rates, charges and rentals during the term of the Series 2023B Bond
are expected to be more than sufficient to pay the principal and interest when due on the Series 2023B
Bond, and to create and maintain reasonable reserves therefor and to provide an adequate allowance for
replacement and depreciation, as prescribed herein. For purposes of the foregoing statement, principal of
W,
and interest on the 2023A Loan are disregarded. The City acknowledges and agrees that if the DNRC
delivers a Noncompliance Statement to the City that the obligation of the City to repay the principal of the
2023A Loan is not forgiven as provided in Section 5.1.2 as determined in the sole and complete discretion
of the DNRC and DEQ, then principal and interest and surcharges will become due and owing on the 2023A
Loan evidenced by the Series 2023A Bond as provided in Section 5.1.2 and the City shall thereupon, and
no later than three months after deliver of such Noncompliance Statement, to the extent required by Section
5.12 of the Original Ordinance, adjust its schedule of fees, rates and charges applicable to the System to
cause Net Revenues and Surplus Net Revenues to be produced in an amount at least equal to that required
by the Original Ordinance.
Section 8.2. Issuance and Sale of the Series 2023 Bonds. The City Council has investigated
the facts necessary and hereby finds, determines and declares it to be necessary and desirable for the City
to issue the Series 2023 Bonds to evidence the 2023 Loans. The Series 2023 Bonds are issued to the DNRC
without public sale pursuant to Montana Code Annotated, Section 7-7-4433.
Section 8.3. Terms. The Series 2023A Bond and the Series 2023B Bond shall be in the
maximum principal amount equal to the original 2023A Committed Amount and the 2023B Committed
Amount, respectively, shall each be issued as a single, fully registered bond numbered R-1, shall be dated
as of the date of delivery to the DNRC, and shall bear interest at the rate charged by the DNRC on the
2023A Loan and the 2023B Loan, respectively. The principal of and interest on the Series 2023B Bond
and, if applicable, the principal of and interest on the Series 2023A Bond, and any Administrative Expense
Surcharge and Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge shall be payable on the same dates and in the same amounts
as Loan Repayments are payable. Advances of principal of the Series 2023A Bond or the Series 2023B
Bond, respectively, shall be deemed made when advances of the 2023A Loan or the 2023B Loan,
respectively, are made under Section 4.1 hereof, and such advances shall be payable in accordance with
Schedule B to the Series 2023B Bond and, if applicable, the Series 2023A Bond, as it may be revised by
the DNRC from time to time in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof. The Series 2023A Bond is a

COVENANT
Section 9.1. Security for the Series 2023 Bonds. The Series 2023B Bond is issued as Additional
Bonds under the Section 4.03 of the Ordinance and shall, with the Series 2004 Bond, the Series 2007 Bond,
the Series 2013 Bond, the Series 2018B Bond, the Series 2018C Bond, the Series 2021 A Bond, and any
other Additional Bonds issued under the provisions of Sections 4.01 and 4.03 of the Original Ordinance,
be equally and ratably secured by the provisions of the Ordinance and payable out of the Net Revenues
appropriated to the Revenue Bond Account of the Fund, without preference or priority, all as provided in
the Ordinance, and secured by the Reserve, as further provided in Section 4.03 of the Ordinance and in the
following sentence. On the date of Closing, the City shall deposit in the Reserve, an amount equal to the
initial Reserve Requirement assuming the entire 2023B Committed Amount is advanced on the date of
Closing. If less than the entire 2023B Committed Amount is advanced, then on the date of the final
disbursement of proceeds of the Series 2023B Bond, the City shall be entitled, in its discretion, to transfer
any amount in excess of the Reserve Requirement to the Revenue Bond Account or the Replacement and
Depreciation Account, so long as the amount remaining in the Reserve equals the Reserve Requirement.
The Series 2023A Bond is a Subordinate Obligation issued under Section 4.04 of the Original Ordinance
and payable from the Surplus Net Revenues that are available after required credits to the Operating
Account, the Revenue bond Account, and the Reserve. No payment of principal or interest shall be made
on any Subordinate Obligation, including the Series 2023A Bond, if the City is then in default in the
payment of principal of or interest on any Bond or if there is a deficiency in the Operating Account or the
Revenue Bond Account or the balance in the Reserve is less than the Reserve Requirement. In the event
the principal of and interest and Administrative Expense Surcharge and Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge
become payable under the Series 2023A Bond, the City shall cause rates and charges to be increased to
produce Net Revenues at least equal to the amount required under the Original Ordinance within three (3)
months following delivery of a Noncompliance Statement. The City shall keep, perform and observe each
and every one of its covenants and undertakings set forth in the Original Ordinance for the benefit of the
registered holders from time to time of the Series 2023 Bonds.

Section 10.1. Use of 2023 Project and System. The 2023 Project and the System will be owned
and operated by the Borrower and available for use by members of the general public on a substantially
equal basis. The Borrower shall not enter into any lease, use or other agreement with any non -governmental
person relating to the use of the 2023 Project or the System or security for the payment of the Series 2023B
Bond which might cause the Series 2023B Bond to be considered a "private activity bond" or "private loan
bond" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code.
Section 10.2. General Covenant. The Borrower covenants and agrees with the owners from time
to time of the Series 2023B Bond that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees
or agents any action which would cause the interest on the Series 2023B Bond to become includable in
gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations, and covenants to take
any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the Series 2023B Bond will not become
includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Code and the Re-ulations.
Section 10.3. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor, City Manager, and the City Clerk, being the
officers of the Borrower charged with the responsibility for issuing the Series 2023B Bond pursuant to this
Supplemental Resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the DNRC a certificate in
accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and Section 1.148-2(b) of the Regulations,
stating that on the basis of facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery
of the Series 2023B Bond, it is reasonably expected that the proceeds of the Series 2023B Bond will be
used in a manner that would not cause the Series 2023B Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning
of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations.
Section 10.4. Arbitrage Rebate. The Borrower acknowledges that the Series 2023B Bond is
subject to the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The Borrower covenants and agrees to
retain such records, make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay such amounts at
such times as are required under said Section 148(f) and applicable Treasury Regulations to preserve the
exclusion of interest on the Series 2023B Bond from gross income for federal income tax purposes, unless
the Series 2023B Bond qualifies for the exception from the rebate requirement under Section 148(f)(4)(B)
of the Code and no "gross proceeds" of the Series 2023B Bond (other than amounts constituting a "bona
fide debt service fund") arise during or after the expenditure of the original proceeds thereof. In furtherance
of the foregoing, the City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to execute a rebate or tax certificate with
respect to the Series 2023B Bond, substantially in the form to be prepared by Bond Counsel, and the
Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to observe and perform the covenants and agreements contained
therein, unless amended or terminated in accordance with the provisions thereof.
Section 10.5 Information Reporting. The Borrower shall file with the Secretary of the Treasury,
not later than February 15, 2023, a statement concerning the Series 2023B Bond containing the information
required by Section 149(e) of the Code.
