The City pursuant to authority conferred by Montana Code Annotated, Title 7, Chapter 7, Parts 44 and 45, as amended (the "Act"), and other laws of the State of Montana, has established and presently owns and operates a municipal water system (the "System"). 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 and 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 System to the City. 1.02 Outstanding Debt; Definitions. In accordance with the authorization described in Section 1.01, the City has issued and there are outstanding its Water System Revenue Bonds, Series 1996 (the "Series 1996 Bonds"), outstanding in the principal amount of $735,000, and its Water System Revenue Bond (DNRC Drinking Water Revolving Loan Program), Series 2001 (the "Series 2001 Bond"), outstanding in the principal amount of $735,000, issued to finance or refinance the costs of certain improvements to the System, pursuant to Resolution No. 4273, adopted by this Council on June 17, 1996, as amended and supplemented by Resolution No. 4603, adopted by this Council on March 5, 2001 (as so amended and supplemented, the "Resolution"). Apart from the Series 1996 Bonds and Series 2001 Bond, there are no other bonds or indebtedness of the City outstanding that are payable in whole or in part from or secured by revenues of the System. Terms which are defined in the Resolution shall have the same meanings when used herein, unless such terms are also defined in this Supplemental Resolution. 1.03 The Project. The City has determined the necessity of upgrading the System. The Project consists of the acquisition, construction and installation of various improvements to the System, including changing out residential water meters, installation of hydrants and extension of a water main and related improvements (the "Project"). The estimated costs of the Project, including engineering costs, are presently estimated to be $907,500, and consist of the following items: Water Meters $385,000 Hydrants 100,000 Water Main 340,000 Reserve Account 82,500 Total: $907,500 Costs of the Project in excess of $907,500 are expected to be paid from funds that the City has on hand. 1.04 Additional Bonds. In Section 6.01 of the Resolution, the City reserved the right to issue Additional Bonds upon certain terms and conditions, including obtaining a certificate or report from an Independent Consultant stating that the Net Revenues in the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the issuance of such Additional Bonds were at least 125% of the maximum Principal and Interest Requirements for any complete Fiscal Year during the term of the then Outstanding Bonds with respect to the Outstanding Bonds and the Series 2003 Bond (as hereinafter defined). It is hereby determined, declared and found that the City is authorized, based on the covenants made in this Supplemental Resolution and the clarification set forth herein under Section 6, to issue $907,500 in aggregate principal amount of Bonds to finance costs of the Project under Section 6.01 of the Resolution (the "Series 2003 Bond"). The City shall obtain a certificate of an Independent Consultant in accordance with the previous paragraph of this Section and Section 6.01 of the Resolution. The Series 2003 Bond is an Additional Bond under the Resolution, and shall be and is hereby declared to be secured by a lien on the Net Revenues on a parity with the Series 1996 Bonds, the Series 2001 Bond and any Additional Bonds hereafter issued. 1.05 Net Revenues Available.

The Net Revenues to be produced by such rates, charges and rentals, as most recently increased, during the term of the Series 2003 Bond and the useful life of the improvements financed thereby, are estimated to be more than sufficient to pay the principal and interest when due on the Series 1996 Bonds, the Series 2001 Bond and the Series 2003 Bond, and to create and maintain reasonable reserves therefor and to provide an allowance for replacement and depreciation, as prescribed by the Resolution. 1.06 Sale and Authorization of Series 2003 Bond.
