(c) In order to obtain a disbursement of a portion of the 2024 Loans to pay costs of the 2024 Lower Zone Tank 1 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 2024 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 2024B First Advance, the 2024 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 2024A Loan and the 2024B Loan as set forth on the closing memorandum for the 2024A Loan until the 19 entire 2024A Loan is advanced; provided that the initial advance shall include the 2024A First Advance and the 2024B First Advance. (ii) Second, after the 2024A Loan is advanced in full, all advances will be from the 2024B Loan. (e) The City shall submit the request for the 2024A First Advance and the 2024B 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 2024A First Advance and the 2024B First Advance. (f) 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 2024 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 2024B 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. (g) If all or a portion of the 2024 Loans is made to reimburse a City for 2024 Lower Zone Tank 1 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.

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 2024 Lower Zone Tank 1 Project costs are incurred faster than the City projected at Closing, there may be delays in making 2024 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. (i) Upon making each 2024A Loan disbursement and 2024B Loan disbursement, the Trustee shall note such disbursement on Schedule A to the Series 2024A Bond and the Series 2024B Bond, respectively. 0) The City agrees that it will deposit in the Reserve Account upon receipt thereof, on the date of the 2024B First Advance and any subsequent disbursement dates, any proceeds of the 2024B Loan 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 2024 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 2024 Bonds and interest thereon shall accrue only from the date of transfer. (k) 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 ITI disbursement of the 2024 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 2024 Loans.

Termination of Loan Term. The City's obligations under this Supplemental Resolution and the Collateral Documents in respect of the Series 2024 Bonds shall terminate upon payment in full of all amounts due under the Series 2024 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. 2024 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.
