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paragraph, the City shall not transfer the System or any portion thereof to any other Person, except for property which is obsolete, outmoded, worn out, is being replaced or otherwise is not needed for the operation of the System, unless the provisions of (a) and (b) of the preceding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. 15 ARTICLE III USE CAE PROCEEDS; THE 2007B PROJECT Section 3.1.

The DNRC intends to disburse the 2007E Loan through the Trustee. (a) In consideration of the issuance of the Series 2007B Bond by the City, the DNRC shall make, or cause the Trustee to make, a disbursement of all or a portion of the 2007E Loan upon receipt of the following documents: (1) an Opinion of Bond Counsel as to the validity and enforceability of the Series 2007E Bond and the security therefor and stating in effect that interest on the Series 2007B Bond is not includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation, in form and substance satisfactory to the DNRC; (2) the Series 2007B Bond, fully executed and authenticated; (3) a certified copy of the Resolution and this Supplemental Resolution; 18 (4) any other security instruments or documents required by the DNRC or DEQ as a condition to their approval of the 2007B 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 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 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 2007E 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 2007E Loan to pay costs of the 2007B 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 2007E 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 Safe Drinking Water Act shall be established by the DNRC and the City at Closing. The Trustee shall disburse 2007B Loan amounts directly to the holder of the debt being refinanced according to such schedule.

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.

The DNRC shall not be required to do "overmatching" pursuant to Section 5.04(b) of the 19 Indenture, but may do so in its discretion. The City acknowledges that if 2007E Project costs are incurred faster than the City projected at Closing, there may be delays in making 2007 B 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 2007B Loan disbursement, the Trustee is to note such disbursement on Schedule A to the Series 2007B Bond. (g) The City agrees that it will deposit in the Reserve Account upon receipt any proceeds of the 2007B Loan borrowed for the purpose of causing the balance in the Reserve Account equal the Reserve Requirement, either on the Closing Date of the 2007B Loan or upon any disbursement date. The City further acknowledges and agrees that any portions of the 2007B 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 Debt Service Account. The amount of any such transfer shall be a credit against the interest payments due on the Series 2007B Bond and interest thereon shall accrue only from the date of transfer. (h) Compliance by the City with its representations, covenants and agreements contained in the Resolution, this Supplemental Resolution and the Collateral Documents shall be a further condition precedent to the disbursement of the 2007B Loan in whole or in part. The DNRC and the Trustee, in their sole and absolute discretion, may mare one or more disbursements, in whole or in part, notwithstanding such noncompliance, and without liability to make any subsequent disbursement of the 2007B Loan.
