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.
(c) The 2004 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 2004 Project.
(d) Outstanding Bonds. Pursuant to the Act and the Ordinance, the City has issued its
Series 1991A Bonds to finance improvements to the System and to pay costs of issuance of the
Series 1991A Bonds and to fund, in whole or in part, the Reserve, and issued its Series 2002
Bonds to refund the outstanding Sewerage System Revenue Bonds, Series 1991, and Sewerage
System Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 1997, and to pay costs of issuance of the Series 2002
Bonds and to fund, in whole or in part, the Reserve. The Series 1991A Bond and Series 2002
Bonds are payable from Net Revenues of the System. No other bonds or indebtedness are
outstanding that are payable from revenues of the System, except for an equipment loan from the
Board of Investments for John Deere equipment the annual principal and interest on which that is
payable from the revenues of the System totals approximately $5,750 and that finally matures in
2007.
(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 tern of the
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
7
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 $1,543,000 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 panty with the Outstanding Series 1991A Bonds and Series 2002 Bonds.

Series 2004 Bond and the Collateral Documents, or the financial condition of the City, or the
transactions contemplated by the Ordinance, the Series 2004 Bond and the Collateral Documents

City or its property may be bound, nor will such action result in any violation of the
provisions of any laws, ordinances, governmental rules or regulations or court or other
governmental orders to which the City, its properties or operations are subject.
(d) No Defaults. No event has occurred and no condition exists that, upon execution
and delivery of the Series 2004 Bond and the Collateral Documents, would constitute a default
under the Ordinance or the Collateral Documents. The City is not in violation of any term of any
agreement, bond resolution, trust indenture, charter or other instrument to which it is a party or
by which it or its property may be bound which violation would materially and adversely affect
the transactions contemplated hereby or the compliance by the City with the terms hereof or of
the Series 2004 Bond and the Collateral Documents.

approvals required to the date of adoption of this Supplemental Resolution by any governmental

proceeds of the Series 2004 Bond or any other funds of the City in respect of the 2004 Project or
the Series 2004 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 Loan or the portion of the 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 2004 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 2004 Project being refinanced or the cost of which is being
reimbursed was acquired by and is now and shall, during the term of the Loan, be owned by the
City and not by any other Person. Any portion of the 2004 Project being financed shall be
acquired by and shall, during the term of the Loan, be owned by the City and not by any other
Person. Notwithstanding the previous two sentences, the City may transfer the 2004 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
2004 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 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 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
14
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 2004 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
2004 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 2004 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
2004 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
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.
15
(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 2004 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
2004 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 2004 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; Liena. The City shall maintain the System,
including the 2004 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 2004 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 2004 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 2004 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 2004 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 2004 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, the City shall not transfer the System or
any portion thereof to any other Person, except for property which is 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 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.

proceeds of the Loan shall be used for the purpose of refinancing an obligation the 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 2004 Project. Set forth in Appendix A to this Supplemental
Resolution is a description of the 2004 Project, which describes the property which has been or is
to be acquired, installed, constructed or improved and the other activities, if any, to be funded, in
part, from the Loan (the 2004 Project may consist of more than one facility or activity). The

the reason therefor, including statements whether the amendment would cause an increase or
decrease in the cost of the 2004 Project, an increase or decrease in the amount of Loan proceeds
which will be required to complete the 2004 Project and whether the change will materially
accelerate or delay the construction schedule for the 2004 Project;
(b) A written consent to such change in the 2004 Project by an Authorized DNRC
Officer;
(e) An Opinion or Opinions of Bond Counsel stating that the 2004 Project, as
constituted after such amendment, is, and was at the time the State Bonds were issued, eligible
for financing under the State Act and is, and was at the time the Series 2004 Bond was issued,
17
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 2004 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 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

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.
The City acknowledges and agrees that neither the DEQ, the DNRC, the Trustee nor any of their
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 Loan to pay Project Costs or as to the
availability of additional funds under the Program to increase the principal amount of the Loan.

to and covenants with the DNRC that:
(a) all construction of the 2004 Project has complied and will comply with all federal

such bond is maintained until construction is completed to the MDT's, the City's, the DNRC's
and the DEQ's satisfaction;

file with the DNRC and the DEQ, provided that changes may be made in such plans and
specifications with the written consent of an Authorized DNRC Officer and the DEQ; and
(d) the 2004 Project is a project of the type permitted to be financed under the Act,
the State Act and the Program and Title VI of the Clean Water Act.

ARTICLE IV
THE LOAN
Section 4.1 The Loan: Disbursement of Loan. The DNRC has agreed to lend to the
City, from time to time as the requirements of this Section 4.1 are met, an amount up to
$1,543,000 (the "Committed Amount") for the purposes of financing, refinancing or reimbursing
the City for a portion of the costs of the 2004 Project; provided the DNRC shall not be required
to loan any proceeds of the State Bonds to the City after 360 days following November 30, 2004
(the estimated completion date). The Committed Amount may be reduced as provided in Section
3.2 and Section 3.4 of this Supplemental Resolution. The Loan shall be disbursed as provided in
this Section 4.1. The DNRC intends to disburse the Loan through the Trustee.
(a) In consideration of the issuance of the Series 2004 Bond by the City, the DNRC
shall make, or cause the Trustee to make, a disbursement of all or a portion of the Loan upon
receipt of the following documents:
(1) an Opinion of Bond Counsel as to the validity and enforceability of the Series
2004 Bond and the security therefor and stating in effect that interest on the Series 2004
Bond is not includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation, in form
and substance satisfactory to the DNRC;
(2) the Series 2004 Bond, fully executed;
(3) a certified copy of the 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 Loan;
(5) if all or part of a 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
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 Loan to be disbursed
at Closing; and
19
(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 Loan to pay costs of the 2004
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 Loan disbursements will be made to the City only upon proof that cost was incurred.
(e) For refinancings, a disbursement schedule complying with the requirements of the
Clean Water Act shall be established by the DNTRC and the City at Closing. The Trustee shall
disburse 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 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 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 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 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.
(f) Upon making each Loan disbursement, the Trustee shall note such disbursement
on Schedule A to the Series 2004 Bond.
(g) The City agrees that it will deposit in the Reserve upon receipt any proceeds of
the Loan borrowed for the purpose of causing the balance in the Reserve equal the Reserve
Requirement, either on the Closing Date of the Loan or upon any disbursement date. The City
further acknowledges and agrees that any portions of the 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 2004 Bond and interest thereon shall accrue only
from the date of transfer.
20
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 Loan proceeds.

charge against its general credit or taxing power. The taxing powers of the City may not be used

TAX MATTERS

City shall not enter into any lease, use or other agreement with any non -governmental person
relating to the use of the 2004 Project or the System or security for the payment of the Series
2004 Bond which might cause the Series 2004 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 2004 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 2004 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 2004 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, the Finance Director and the City
Clerk, being the officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Series 2004
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 2004 Bond, it is reasonably expected that
26
the proceeds of the Series 2004 Bond will be used in a manner that would not cause the Series
2004 Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the
Regulations.
Section 10.4 Arbitrage Rebate Exemption.
(a) The City hereby represents that the Series 2004 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:
(1) Substantially all (not less than 95%) of the proceeds of the Series
2004 Bond (except for amounts to be applied to the payment of costs of issuance
or representing accrued interest) will be used for local governmental activities of
the City.
(2) The aggregate face amount of all "tax-exempt bonds" (including
warrants, contracts, leases and other indebtedness, but excluding private activity
bonds and current refunding bonds) issued by or on behalf of the City and all
subordinate entities thereof during 2004 is not reasonably expected to exceed
$5,000,000. To date in 2004, the City has issued its $1,840,000 Water System
Revenue and Refunding Bonds, and in the calendar years 1999 through 2003, the
City issued no such tax-exempt bonds, except its $1,581,500 Special

Obligation Bonds, Series 2002, and $907,500 Water System Revenue Bond,
Series 2003.
(b) 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 2004 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 November 15, 2004, a statement concerning the Series 2004 Bond
containing the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code.
