AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS, REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS
Section 2.1 Authorization and Findings.
(a) Authorization. Under the provisions of the 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 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 Act and other laws of the State, has
established and presently owns and operates the System and has caused the System to include the
City's sanitary sewer facilities and storm sewer facilities.
(c) The 2013 Project. After investigation of the facts and as authorized by the Act,
this Council has determined it to be necessary and desirable and in the best interests of the City
to acquire and construct or cause the construction of the 2013 Project.
(d) Outstanding Bonds. Pursuant to the Act and the Ordinance, the City has issued its
Series 2004 Bond and its Series 2007 Bond. The Series 2004 Bond and the Series 2007 Bond
are payable from Net Revenues of the System. No other bonds or indebtedness are outstanding
that are payable from revenues of the System.
(e) Additional Parity Bonds. The City reserved the right under Section 4.03 of
Ordinance No. 859 to issue additional parity Bonds payable from the Revenue Bond Account of
the Fund on a parity as to both principal and interest on the Outstanding Bonds, if the Net
Revenues of the System for the last complete fiscal year preceding the issuance of such
additional bonds have equaled at least 125% of the maximum amount of principal and interest
payable from the Revenue Bond Account in any subsequent fiscal year during the term of the
7
Outstanding Bonds, on all Outstanding Bonds and on the additional bonds proposed to be issued.
For the purpose of the foregoing computation, the Net Revenues for the fiscal year preceding the
issuance of the additional bonds shall be the net revenues shown by the official books and
records of the City, except that if the rates and charges for sewerage service have been changed
since the beginning of such preceding fiscal year, then the rates and charges in effect at the time
of issuance of the additional bonds shall be applied to the quantities of service actually rendered
and made available during such preceding fiscal year to ascertain the gross revenues, from which
there shall be deducted to determine the Net Revenues, the actual operation and maintenance
cost for the last complete fiscal year shown by the official books and records of the City plus any
additional annual costs of operation and maintenance which the engineer for the City estimates
will be incurred because of the improvement or extension of the sewerage system to be
constructed from the proceeds of the additional bonds proposed to be issued. 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 or interest on any Outstanding Bonds 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 Sewerage System Fund. Based on a certificate executed
or to be executed by the City Manager and Finance Director of the City, it is hereby determined
that the City is authorized to issue $1,271,000 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 Series 2004 Bond and Series 2007 Bond.

Section 2.4 Covenants Relating to the Tax -Exempt Status of the State Bonds.
(a) The City covenants and agrees that it will not use or permit to be used any of the
proceeds of the Series 2013 Bond or any other funds of the City in respect of the 2013 Project or
the Series 2013 Bond, directly or indirectly, in a manner that would cause, or take any other
action that would cause, any State Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section
148 of the Code or would otherwise cause the interest on the State Bonds to be included in gross
income for purposes of federal income taxation. In addition, the City agrees that it will not enter
into, or allow any "related person" (as defined in Section 147(a)(2) of the Code) to enter into,
any arrangement, formal or informal, for the purchase of the State Bonds or any other obligations
of the DNRC in an amount related to the amount of the 2013 Loan or the portion of the 2013
Loan derived directly or indirectly from proceeds of the State Bonds or that would otherwise
cause any State Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.
(b) The City shall not use or permit the use of the 2013 Project directly or indirectly
in any trade or business carried on by any Person who is not a Governmental Unit. For the
purpose of this subparagraph, use as a member of the general public (within the meaning of the
Regulations) shall not be taken into account and any activity carried on by a Person other than a
natural person shall be treated as a trade or business.
(c) Any portion of the 2013 Project being refinanced or the cost of which is being
reimbursed was acquired by and is now and shall, during the term of the 2013 Loan, be owned
by the City and not by any other Person. Any portion of the 2013 Project being financed shall be
acquired by and shall, during the term of the 2013 Loan, be owned by the City and not by any
other Person. Notwithstanding the previous two sentences, the City may transfer the 2013
Project or a portion thereof to another Governmental Unit which is also a Public Entity if such
transfer is otherwise permitted under the Ordinance and if such organization agrees with the
DNRC to comply with Sections 2.2(h) and 2.2(i) of this Supplemental Resolution and if the
DNRC receives an Opinion of Bond Counsel that such transfer will not violate the State Act or
the Clean Water Act or adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income
or purposes of federal income taxation. In addition, except as otherwise provided in the
Ordinance or in any Collateral Documents, the City may sell or otherwise dispose of any portion
of the 2013 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 Clean Water Act.
(d) At the Closing of the 2013 Loan the DNRC will, if necessary to obtain the
Opinion of Bond Counsel described in Section 7.05(a) of the Indenture, deliver to the City
instructions concerning compliance by the City with the arbitrage rebate requirements of Section
14
148 of the Code (the "Arbitrage Rebate Instructions"). The City shall comply with the Arbitrage
Rebate Instructions, if any, delivered to it by the DNRC at Closing, as such Instructions may be
amended or replaced by the DNRC from time to time. 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 (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.
(e) The City agrees that during the Loan Term it will not contract with or permit any
Private Person to manage the 2013 Project or any portion thereof except according to a written
management contract which complies with the following provisions:
(1) If any contract between the City and the Private Person with respect to the
2013 Project provides for compensation based on a percentage of fees charged for
services rendered by the Private Person, the contract may not exceed a term of five years
(including any renewal options). At least 50% of the compensation to the Private Person
must be based upon a periodic fixed fee. In addition, the City must be able to cancel the
contract without penalty or cause at the end of any three-year period of the contract term.
The compensation must be reasonable, and it may not be based on a percentage of the net
profits of the 2013 Project or the System or any portion thereof or any other division or
activity of the City.
(2) If any contract between the City and the Private Person with respect to the
2013 Project provides for compensation based on a periodic flat fee, the compensation
must be reasonable and the contract may not exceed a term of five years (including any
renewal options. In addition, the City must be able to cancel the contract without penalty
or cause at the end of any three-year period of the contract term. If the contract provides
for automatic increases in the periodic flat fee, the increases may not exceed the
percentage increases determined by particular external standards for computing such
increases that are mutually agreed upon in the contract. The percentage increases
reflected in the Consumer Price Index compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S.
Department of Labor, or the actual percentage increases for services that result from the
application of external criteria (for example, increases in rates paid by insurance
companies) are illustrations of two external standards that may be used.
(3) If a Private Person and the City enter into a contract described in
subparagraph (1) or (2) above and the governing body of the City contains five or more
members, no more than one member of the governing body of the City may be the
Private Person or a related person (as described in Section 144(a)(3) of the Code) (a
"Related Person"), an employee of the Private Person or a Related Person, or a member
of the governing body of the Private Person or a Related Person. However, such Private
Person or a Related Person, employee of the Private Person or a Related Person or a
member of the governing body of the Private Person or a Related Person may not serve as
the chief executive of the City. If a Private Person and the City enter into a contract
described in (1) or (2) above and the governing body contains less than five members, no
15
member of the governing body may be the Private Person or a Related Person, an
employee of the Private Person or a Related Person or a member of the governing body
of the Private Person or a Related Person.
(4) The City may depart from any of its agreements contained in subparagraphs
(1) through (3) if it delivers to the DNRC, at the City's expense, an Opinion of Bond
Counsel that to do so would not adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the State
Bonds from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.
(f) The City may not lease the 2013 Project or any portion thereof to any Person
other than a Nonexempt Person which agrees in writing with the City and the State not to cause
any default to occur under the Ordinance; provided the City may lease all or any portion of the
2013 Project to a Nonexempt Person pursuant to a lease which in the Opinion of Bond Counsel
delivered to the DNRC will not cause the interest on the State Bonds to be included in gross
income for purposes of federal income taxation.
(g) The City shall not change the use or nature of the 2013 Project if (i) such change
will violate the Clean Water Act, or (ii) so long as the State Bonds are outstanding unless, in the
Opinion of Bond Counsel delivered to the DNRC, such change will not result in the inclusion in
gross income of interest on the State Bonds for federal income tax purposes.
Section 2.5 Maintenance of System; Liens. The City shall maintain the System,
including the 2013 Project, in good condition and make all necessary renewals, replacements,
additions, betterments and improvements thereto. The City shall not grant or permit to exist any
lien on the 2013 Project or any other property making up part of the System, other than liens
securing Debt where a parity or senior lien secures the Series 2013 Bond; provided that this
Section 2.6 shall not be deemed to be violated if a mechanic's or contractor's lien is filed against
any such property so long as the City uses its best efforts to obtain the discharge of such lien and
promptly reports to the DNRC the filing of such lien and the steps it plans to take and does take
to discharge of such lien.
Section 2.6 Maintenance of Existence; Merger, Consolidation, Etc.; Disposition of
Assets. The City shall maintain its corporate existence, except that it may consolidate with or
merge into another Governmental Unit or permit one or more Governmental Units to consolidate
with or merge into it or may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another Governmental
Unit and then dissolve if the surviving, resulting or transferee entity (if other than the City) (i) is
a Public Entity and (ii) assumes in writing all of the obligations of the City under the Ordinance,
the Series 2013 Bond and the Collateral Documents, and (a) such action does not result in any
default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or agreements of the
City under the Ordinance, the Series 2013 Bond and the Collateral Documents, (b) such action
does not violate the State Act or the Clean Water Act and does not adversely affect the exclusion
of interest on the Series 2013 Bond or the State Bonds from gross income for federal income tax
purposes and (c) the City delivers to the DNRC on the date of such action an Opinion of Bond
Counsel that such action complies with this Section 2.6.
Other than pursuant to the preceding paragraph and Section 2.4(c), the City shall not
transfer the System or any portion thereof to any other Person, except for property which is
16
obsolete, outmoded, worn out, is being replaced or otherwise is not needed for the operation of
the System, unless the provisions of (a) and (b) of the preceding paragraph and Section 2.4(c) are
satisfied and the City delivers to the DNRC an Opinion of Bond Counsel to that effect and, in
addition, the DNRC consents to such transfer.
ARTICLE III

interest on which is exempt from federal income tax or excludable from gross income for
purposes of federal income taxation unless the DNRC has received an Opinion of Bond Counsel,
satisfactory to it, to the effect that such refinancing will not adversely affect the exclusion of
interest on the State Bonds from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.
Section 3.2 The 2013 Protect. Set forth in Appendix A to this Supplemental
Resolution is a description of the 2013 Project, which describes the property which has been or is

Officer;

for financing under the State Act and is, and was at the time the Series 2013 Bond was issued,
eligible for financing under the Act, such amendment will not violate the State Act or the Act
and such amendment will not adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the State Bonds or the
Series 2013 Bond from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. Such an Opinion
of Bond Counsel shall not be required for amendments which do not affect the type of facility to
be constructed or activity to be financed.
The City acknowledges and agrees that an increase in the principal amount of the 2013
Loan may be made only upon an application to the DEQ, the DNRC and the Trustee, in such
form as the DEQ shall specify, which is approved by the DEQ and the DNRC, in their sole and
absolute discretion, and adoption by the governing body of the City of a resolution amendatory
of or supplementary to the Ordinance authorizing the additional loan and delivery of written
certifications by officers of the City to the DEQ, the DNRC and the Trustee to the effect that all
representations and covenants contained in the resolution as it may be so amended or
supplemented are true as of the date of closing of the additional loan and compliance with
applicable tests for the incurrence of such Debt. No assurance can be given that any additional
loan funds will be available under the Program at the time of any such application or thereafter.

agents, employees or representatives shall have any liability to the City and have made no
representations to the City as to the sufficiency of the 2013 Loan to pay Project Costs or as to the
availability of additional funds under the Program to increase the principal amount of the 2013
Loan.

to and covenants with the DNRC that:
(a) all construction of the 2013 Project has complied and will comply with all federal

to $11271 000 (the "Committed Amount") for the purposes of financing, refinancing or
reimbursing the City for a portion of the costs of the 2013 Project; provided the DNRC shall not
be required to loan any proceeds of the State Bonds to the City after June 30, 2014. The
Committed Amount may be reduced as provided in Section 3.2 and Section 3.4 of this
Supplemental Resolution. The 2013 Loan shall be disbursed as provided in this Section 4.1.
The DNRC intends to disburse the 2013 Loan through the Trustee.
(a) In consideration of the issuance of the Series 2013 Bond by the City, the DNRC
shall make, or cause the Trustee to make, a disbursement of all or a portion of the 2013 Loan
upon receipt of the following documents:
(1) an Opinion of Bond Counsel as to the validity and enforceability of the Series
2013 Bond and the security therefor and stating in effect that interest on the Series 2013
Bond is not includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation, in form
and substance satisfactory to the DNRC;
(2) the Series 2013 Bond, fully executed;
(3) a certified copy of the Original Ordinance and this Supplemental Resolution;
(4) any other security instruments or documents required by the DNRC or DEQ
as a condition to their approval of the 2013 Loan;
(5) if all or part of a 2013 Loan is being made to refinance a Project or reimburse
the City for the costs of a Project paid prior to the Closing, evidence, satisfactory to the
DNRC and the Bond Counsel referred to in (1) above, (A) that the acquisition or
19
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 the
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;
(6) the items required by the Indenture for the portion of the 2013 Loan to be
disbursed at Closing; and
(7) such other certificates, documents and other information as the DNRC, the
DEQ or the Bond Counsel giving the opinion referred to in subparagraph (1) may require
(including any necessary arbitrage rebate instructions).
(b) In order to obtain a disbursement of a portion of the 2013 Loan to pay costs of the
2013 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 2013 Loan disbursements will be made to the City only upon proof that cost
was incurred.
(c) 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. The Trustee shall
disburse 2013 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 2013 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.
(d) If all or a portion of a 2013 Loan is made to reimburse a City for 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.
(e) Notwithstanding anything else provided herein, the Trustee shall not be obligated
to disburse the 2013 Loan 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 Project costs are
incurred faster than the City projected at Closing, there may be delays in making 2013 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 best efforts to obtain
an acceleration of such schedule if necessary.
20
(f) Upon making each 2013 Loan disbursement, the Trustee shall note such
disbursement on Schedule A to the Series 2013 Bond.
(g) The City agrees that it will deposit in the Reserve upon receipt any proceeds of
the 2013 Loan borrowed for the purpose of causing the balance in the Reserve equal the Reserve
Requirement, either on the Closing Date of the 2013 Loan or upon any disbursement date. The
City further acknowledges and agrees that any portions of the 2013 Loan 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 2013 Bond and interest thereon shall
accrue only from the date of transfer.
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 2013 Loan proceeds.
Section 4.3 Termination of Loan Term. The City's obligations under this
Supplemental Resolution and the Collateral Documents shall terminate upon payment in full of
all amounts due under the Series 2013 Bond and the Supplemental Resolution in respect thereof;
provided, however, that the covenants and obligations provided in Article VI and Section 10.4
shall survive the termination of the Supplemental Resolution.
Section 4.4 2013 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.

or extensions thereof hereafter constructed or acquired. The Net Revenues to be produced by
0
such rates, charges and rentals during the term of the Series 2013 Bond will be more than
sufficient to pay the principal and interest when due on the Series 2013 Bond, to fund the
Reserve to the Reserve Requirement, and to provide an adequate allowance for replacement and
depreciation, as herein prescribed.
Section 8.2 Issuance and Sale of the Series 2013 Bond. The 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 2013 Bond to evidence the 2013 Loan. The Series 2013 Bond is
issued to the DNRC without public sale pursuant to Montana Code Annotated, Section 7-7-
4433(2)(a).

equal to the original Committed Amount of the 2013 Loan, shall 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 2013 Loan. The principal of and interest on

and interest of the Loan Repayments are payable. Advances of principal of the Series 2013
Bond shall be deemed made when advances of the 2013 Loan are made under Section 4.1, and
such advances shall be payable in accordance with Schedule B to the Series 2013 Bond, as it
may be revised by the DNRC, from time to time in accordance with Section 5.1.
The City may prepay the Series 2013 Bond, in whole or in part, only upon the terms and

Conservation, 1625 Eleventh Avenue, Helena, Montana 59620-2301 or such other place as may

negotiable, subject to the provisions for registration and transfer contained in this Section 8.4.
No transfer of the Series 2013 Bond shall be valid unless and until (1) the holder, or his duly
authorized attorney or legal representative, has executed the form of assignment appearing on the
Series 2013 Bond, and (2) the Finance Director of the City (or successors, the "Registrar"), as
Bond Registrar, has duly noted the transfer on the Series 2013 Bond and recorded the transfer on
the registration books of the Registrar. The Registrar may, prior to noting and recording the
transfer, require appropriate proof of the transferor's authority and the genuineness of the

valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the City's liability upon such Bond to the extent of
the sum or sums so paid.
Section 8.5 Execution and Delivery. The Series 2013 Bond shall be executed on
behalf of the City by the manual signatures of the Mayor, City Manager and the City Finance
Director. Any or all of such signatures may be affixed at or prior to the date of delivery of the

ARTICLE IX
SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2013 BOND
The Series 2013 Bond is issued as an additional Bond under Section 4.03 of the
Ordinance and shall, on a parity with the 2004 Bond, the Series 2007 Bond, and any other
additional parity Bonds issued under the provisions of Sections 4.01 through 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 Sewerage System 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. The Reserve Requirement upon the issuance
of the Series 2013 Bond in the maximum principal amount thereof is estimated to be $1,194,152.
There is currently $1,108,887 on hand in the Reserve. Upon advancement of principal of the
Series 2013 Bond, the City Finance Director shall transfer from proceeds of the Series 2013
Bond such amount or amounts to the Reserve Account to cause the balance therein to equal the
Reserve Requirement, treating such principal amount as outstanding. Upon each advance of the
Series 2013 Bond, the deposit to the Reserve Account shall be sufficient to cause the balance in
the Reserve Account to equal the Reserve Requirement in respect of the Series 2004 Bond, the
Series 2007 Bond, and the principal of the Series 2013 Bond so advanced. Money in the Reserve
shall be used only to pay maturing principal, premium, if any, and interest when money within
the Revenue Bond Account is insufficient therefor; provided that on any date when all
outstanding Bonds of a series are due or prepayable by their terms, if the amount then on hand in
the Reserve allocable to such Bonds and available for such appropriation is sufficient with
money available for the purpose to pay all such Bonds and the interest accrued thereon in full, it
may be used for that purpose; and provided, further, that so long as the amount on hand in the
Reserve is not less than the Reserve Requirement, the City may credit earnings on investment of
the Reserve to the Replacement and Depreciation Account. The City shall keep, perform and
observe each and every one of its covenants and undertakings set forth in the Ordinance for the
benefit of the registered owners from time to time of the Series 2013 Bond.
ARTICLE X
TAX MATTERS
Section 10.1 Use of 2013 Project. The 2013 Project will be owned and operated by the
City and available for use by members of the general public on a substantially equal basis. The
City shall not enter into any lease, use or other agreement with any non -governmental person
relating to the use of the 2013 Project or the System or security for the payment of the Series
we
2013 Bond which might cause the Series 2013 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 City covenants and agrees with the owners from
time to time of the Series 2013 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 2013 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 2013 Bond will not become includable in gross income for federal income
tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations.
Section 10.3 Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor, City Manager and the City Finance
Director, being the officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Series 2013
Bond pursuant to the Ordinance, 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 2013 Bond, it is reasonably expected that
the proceeds of the Series 2013 Bond will be used in a manner that would not cause the Series
2013 Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the
Regulations.
Section 10.4 Arbitrage Rebate Exemption. The City hereby represents that the Series
2013 Bond qualifies for the exception for small governmental units to the arbitrage rebate
provisions contained in Section 148(f) of the Code. Specifically, the City represents:
(a) Substantially all (not less than 95%) of the proceeds of the Series 2013
Bond (except for amounts to be applied to the payment of costs of issuance) will be used for
local governmental activities of the Borrower.
(b) The aggregate face amount of all "tax-exempt bonds" (including warrants,
contracts, leases and other indebtedness, but excluding private activity bonds) issued by or on
behalf of the Borrower and all subordinate entities thereof during 2013 is reasonably expected
not to exceed $5,000,000. To date in 2013, the Borrower has issued no tax-exempt bonds other
than the Series 2013 Bond, and in the calendar years 2007 through 2012, the Borrower issued no
tax-exempt bonds other than the Series 2004 Bond and the Series 2007 Bond.
(c) If notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 10.4, the
arbitrage rebate provisions of Section 148(f) of the Code apply to the Series 2013 Bond, the City
hereby covenants and agrees to make the determinations, retain records and rebate to the United
States the amounts at the times and in the manner required by said Section 148(f).
Section 10.5 Information Reporting. The City shall file with the Secretary of the
Treasury, not later than August 15, 2013, a statement concerning the Series 2013 Bond
containing the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code.
Section 10.6 Qualified Tax -Exempt Obligations." Pursuant to Section 265(b)(3)(B)(ii)
of the Code, the City hereby designates the Series 2013 Bond as a "qualified tax-exempt
obligation" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The City has not designated any
27
obligations in 2013 under Section 265(b)(3) other than the Series 2013 Bond. The City hereby
represents that it does not anticipate that obligations bearing interest not includable in gross
income for purposes of federal income taxation under Section 103 of the Code (including
refunding obligations as provided in Section 265(b)(3) of the Code and including "qualified
501(c)(3) bonds" but excluding other "private activity bonds," as defined in Sections 141(a) and
145(a) of the Code) will be issued by or on behalf of the City and all "subordinate entities" of the
City in 2013 in an amount greater than $10,000,000.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the City of Kalispell, Montana (the "City"), a duly organized

its address as it appears on the bond register, in lawful money of the United States of America.
This Bond is one of an issue of Sewerage System Revenue Bonds of the City authorized
to be issued in one or more series from time to time, and constitutes a series in the maximum
authorized principal amount of $1,271,000 (the "Series 2013 Bond"). The Series 2013 Bond is
issued to finance a portion of the costs of the construction of certain improvements to the
sewerage system of the City, which includes sanitary sewer facilities and storm sewer facilities
(the "System"), to make a deposit to a reserve account for the Bonds and to pay costs of issuance
of the Series 2013 Bond. The Series 2013 Bond is issued pursuant to and in full conformity with
the Constitution and laws of the State of Montana thereunto enabling, including Montana Code
Annotated, Title 7, Chapter 7, Part 44 and 45, as amended, and ordinances and resolutions duly
adopted by the governing body of the City, including Ordinance No. 859 of the City, duly passed
and adopted on June 21, 1976, as amended and supplemented by Ordinance Nos. 862, 10029
10119 1421, and 1476, all as duly passed and adopted by the City Council of the City, and by
Resolution Nos. 4022, 46859 4910, 5246, 5577, and 5617 of the City, duly passed and adopted on

69 2013, respectively (as so supplemented and amended and as hereafter amended or
supplemented in accordance with its terms, the "Ordinance"). The Series 2013 Bond is issuable
only as a single, fully registered bond. The Series 2013 Bond is issued on a parity and is equally
and ratably secured by the Net Revenues of the System with the City's Outstanding First
Amended and Restated Sewerage System Revenue Bond (DNRC Revolving Loan Program),
Series 2004, and First Amended and Restated Sewerage System Revenue Bond (DNRC Water
Pollution Control State Revolving Loan Program), Series 2007 (together, the "Outstanding
Bonds") .
Reference is made to the Ordinance for a more complete statement of the terms and
conditions upon which the Series 2013 Bond has been issued, the net revenues of the System
pledged and appropriated for the payment and security thereof, the conditions upon which
additional bonds may be issued under the Ordinance and made payable from such net revenues
on a parity with the Outstanding Bonds and the Series 2013 Bond (collectively, the `Bonds") or
otherwise, the conditions upon which the Ordinance may be amended, the rights, duties and
obligations of the City, and the rights of the owners of the Series 2013 Bond.
The City may prepay the principal of its Series 2013 Bond only if (i) it obtains the prior
written consent of the DNRC thereto, and (ii) no Loan Repayment or Administrative Expense
Surcharge or Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge is then delinquent. Any prepayment permitted by the
DNRC must be accompanied by payment of accrued interest and Administrative Expense
Surcharge and Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge to the date of prepayment on the amount of
principal prepaid. If this Series 2013 Bond is prepaid in part, such prepayments shall be applied
to principal payments in inverse order of maturity.
The Bonds, including interest and any premium for the redemption thereof, are payable
solely from the net revenues pledged for the payment thereof and do not constitute a debt of the
City within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or provision.
The City may deem and treat the person in whose name this Series 2013 Bond is
registered as the absolute owner hereof, whether this Series 2013 Bond is overdue or not, for the
purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and the City shall not be affected by
any notice to the contrary. The Series 2013 Bond may be transferred hereinafter as provided.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED that the City
will forthwith construct and complete the improvements to the System referred to above, that it
will establish and collect reasonable rates and charges for the services afforded by the System,
and has created a Sewerage System Fund into which the gross revenues of the System, including
all additions, replacements and improvements thereto subsequently constructed or acquired, will
be paid; that the Sewerage System Fund contains a Revenue Bond Account, into which the
Finance Director shall monthly credit an amount equal to not less than one -sixth of the interest to
become due in the next six months plus one -twelfth of the principal to become due in the next
twelve months with respect to the Outstanding Bonds, the Series 2013 Bond and any additional
parity bonds; that it will transfer from proceeds of the Series 2013 Bond such amount or amounts
to the Reserve to cause the balance therein to equal the Reserve Requirement, treating such
principal amount as Outstanding; that the Revenue Bond Account and the Reserve will be used
only to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Bonds, the Series
2013 Bond and any additional parity bonds hereafter issued under the Ordinance; that the rates
and charges for the System will from time to time be made and kept sufficient to provide gross
income and revenues adequate to pay promptly the reasonable and current expenses of operating
and maintaining the System, to maintain the operating reserve, and to produce in each fiscal year
Net Revenues in excess of such current expenses, equal to at least 125% of the maximum
amount of principal and interest payable from the Revenue Bond Account in any subsequent
fiscal year; that additional Bonds and refunding Bonds may be issued and made payable from the
Revenue Bond Account on a parity with the Outstanding Bonds, the Series 2013 Bonds and other
parity bonds, upon certain conditions set forth in the Ordinance, but no obligation will be
otherwise incurred and made payable from the Net Revenues of the System, unless the lien
thereof shall be expressly made subordinate to the lien of the Outstanding Bonds, the Series 2013
Bond and additional parity bonds on such Net Revenues; that all provisions for the security of
the holder of this Series 2013 Bond set forth in the Ordinance will be punctually and faithfully
performed as therein stipulated; that all acts, conditions and things required by the Constitution
and laws of the State of Montana and the ordinances and resolutions of the City to be done, to
exist, to happen and to be performed in order to make this Series 2013 Bond a valid and binding
special obligation of the City according to its terms have been done, do exist, have happened and
have been performed in regular and due form, time and manner as so required; and that this
