(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 Tank and Wells Project. After investigation of the facts and as authorized by the Enabling Act, this Council has determined it to be necessary and desirable and in the best interests of the City to acquire and construct the 2023 Tank and Wells Project. (d) OutstandingB. Pursuant to the Enabling Act and the Original Resolution, the City has previously issued, and has outstanding, the Amended Series 2007B Bond, the Series 2017A Bond, the Series 2020A Bonds, and the Series 2020B Bonds. The Amended Series 2007B Bond, the Series 2017A Bond, the Series 2020A Bonds, the Series 2020B Bonds, and the Series 2023 Tax -Exempt Bonds are payable from Net Revenues of the System. The Series 2023A Bond is payable solely out of Surplus Net Revenues. No other bonds or indebtedness are outstanding that are payable from or secured by revenues of the System. (e) Additional Parity Bonds and Amendment to Section 6.01 of the Original Resolution. The City reserved the right under Section 6.01 of the Original Resolution to issue Additional Bonds payable from the Debt Service Account of the Fund on a parity as to both principal and interest with the outstanding Bonds if certain conditions are complied with by the City. In no event shall any additional Bonds be issued and made payable from the Debt Service Account if the City is then in default in any payment of principal of or interest on any outstanding Bonds payable therefrom, or if there then exists any deficiency in the balances required by the Original Resolution 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 Mayor, City Clerk and City Manager, or either of them, it is hereby determined that the City is authorized to issue (i) $18,854,000 in aggregate principal amount of Additional Bonds pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Original Resolution payable from and secured by the Net Revenues on a parity with the outstanding Amended Series 2007B Bond, the Series 2017A Bond, the Series 2020A Bonds, and the Series 2020B Bonds, and (ii) $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Additional Bonds payable and secured on a junior and subordinate basis to the repayment of the other Outstanding Bonds. From and after the date of issuance of the Series 2023 Bonds, the provisions of this Section 2.1(e) hereby amend all of the Resolutions for the Bonds such that the provisions of this Section 2.1(e) apply to the issuance of Additional Bonds going forward for the City and the required debt service coverage ratio is reduced from 125% to 110% for all Additional Bonds to be issued by the City in the future. In addition, Section 6.01(D) is amended such that a report of an Independent Consultant shall now be a certificate signed by the City Finance Officer or City Manager. For purposes of the foregoing certificate, principal of and interest on the 2023A Loan are disregarded. The City acknowledges and agrees that if it fails to deliver timely an acceptable Compliance Certificate and Request as provided in Section 5.1 of this Supplemental Resolution as determined in the sole and complete discretion of the DNRC or if a Noncompliance Certificate is delivered, then principal and interest and surcharges will become due and owing on the Series 2023A Bond as provided in Section 5.1 of this Supplemental Resolution, and the City shall thereupon, and in any event no later than three (3) months after delivery of a Noncompliance Statement, to the extent required by the Original Resolution 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 Resolution.

In addition, except as otherwise provided in the Resolution or in any Collateral Documents, the City may sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of the 2023 Tank and Wells Project which has become obsolete or outmoded or is being replaced or for other reasons is not needed by the City or beneficial to the general public or necessary to carry out the purposes of the Safe Drinking Water Act.

The Arbitrage Rebate Instructions may be amended or replaced by new Arbitrage Rebate Instructions delivered by the DNRC and accompanied by an Opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the use of said amended or new Arbitrage Rebate Instructions will not adversely affect the excludability of interest on the State Bonds or any Additional State Bonds (except State Bonds the interest on which the State did not intend to be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes) from gross income of the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes. (f) The City agrees that during the term of the 2023B Loan and 2023C Loan it will not contract with or permit any Private Person to manage the 2023 Tank and Wells Project or any portion thereof except according to a written management contract and upon delivery to the DNRC of an Opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the execution and delivery of such management contract will not violate the State Act or the Safe Drinking Water Act or adversely affect the exclusion of interest on State Bonds from gross income or purposes of federal income taxation.

The Committed Amounts may be reduced as provided in Sections 3.2 and 3.4 of this Supplemental Resolution. (b) The DNRC intends to disburse the 2023 Loans through the Trustee. In consideration of the issuance of the Series 2023 Bonds by the City, the DNRC shall make, or cause the Trustee to make, a disbursement of all or a portion of the 2023 Loans upon receipt of the following documents: (i) an Opinion of Bond Counsel as to the validity and enforceability of the Series 2023 Bonds and the security therefor and stating in effect that interest on the Series 2023 Tax -Exempt Bonds is not includable in gross income of the owner thereof for purposes of federal income taxation, in form and substance satisfactory to the DNRC; (ii) the Series 2023A Bond, the Series 2023B Bond, and the Series 2023C Bond, fully executed and authenticated; (iii) a certified copy of the Original Resolution and this Supplemental Resolution; (iv) any other security instruments or documents required by the DNRC or DEQ as a condition to their approval of the 2023 Loans; (v) if all or part of a 2023 Loan is being made to refinance a project or reimburse the City for costs of a Project paid prior to the Closing, evidence, satisfactory to the DNRC and the Bond Counsel referred to in subparagraph (1) above, (A) that the acquisition or construction of the project was begun no earlier than June 1, 1993 or the debt was incurred no earlier than June 1, 1993, (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 that the City has complied with Section 1.150-2 of the Regulations; (vi) the items required by the Indenture for the portion of the 2023 Loans to be disbursed at Closing; and (vii) such other certificates, documents and other information as the DNRC, the DEQ or the Opinion of Bond Counsel referred to in subparagraph (1) may require (including any necessary arbitrage rebate instructions). (c) In order to obtain a disbursement of a portion of the 2023 Loans to pay costs of the 2023 Tank and Wells 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 19 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. (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 by the Trustee, 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 as set forth on the closing memorandum for the 2023A Loan until the entire 2023A Loan is advanced; provided that the initial advance shall include the 2023A First Advance and the 2023B First Advance. (ii) Second, after the 2023A Loan is advanced in full, all advances will be from the 2023B Loan. (iii) Third, after the 2023B Loan is advanced in full, all advances will be from the 2023C Loan. (e) The City shall submit the request for the 2023A First Advance and 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 2023A First Advance and the 2023B First Advance. (f) When necessary, the City shall submit the request for the 2023C 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 2023C First Advance. (g) For refinancings, a disbursement schedule complying with the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act shall be established by the DNRC and the City at Closing. The Trustee shall disburse 2023 Loan amounts directly to the holder of the debt being refinanced according to such schedule. If the City should repay all or a portion of the debt to be refinanced from other sources or should otherwise not need any portion of the 2023B Loan or 2023C Loan which was to have been used to refinance such debt, it shall inform the DNRC and the Trustee of such fact pursuant to Section 3.4(b) and a new disbursement schedule shall be drawn up by the DNRC. The DNRC shall obtain a receipt from the holder of the debt being refinanced for each disbursement made to pay or prepay a portion of such debt. (h) If all or a portion of the 2023 Loans is made to reimburse a City for 2023 Tank and Wells 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 Safe Drinking 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, proceeds of the 2016 BAN 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 Tank and Wells 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. 20 0) Upon making each 2023A Loan disbursement, 2023B Loan disbursement and 2023C Loan disbursement, the Trustee shall note such disbursement on Schedule A to the Series 2023A Bond, the Series 2023B Bond, and the Series 2023C Bond, respectively. (k) The City agrees that it will deposit in the Reserve Account upon receipt thereof, on the date of the 2023B First Advance or 2023C First Advance and any subsequent disbursement dates, any proceeds of the 2023B Loan or 2023C Loan, as applicable, borrowed for the purpose of increasing the balance in the Reserve Account to 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 Debt Service 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. (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 upon the first disbursement by the Trustee of the 2023B First Advance and 2023C First Advance for the 2023B Loan and the 2023C Loan, respectively. 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 and Section 10.3 of this Supplemental Resolution shall survive the termination of the 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.
