REVENUES AND FUNDS
Section 501. Stormwater Rates. The City covenants that the schedules of rates for
stormwater management service by the Stormwater Utility will not be less than the rates required

revise the rates for stormwater management service by the Stormwater Utility.
Section 502. Rate Covenant. The City further covenants that it wil1 fix, charge and
col1ect reasonable rates and charges for the use of the services and facilities furnished by the
Stormwater Utility and that from time to time, and as often as it shal1 appear necessary, it will
adjust such rates and charges by increasing or decreasing the same or any selected categories of
rates and charges so that the Net Revenues (excluding from the computation of Current Expenses
for any Fiscal Year any amount received from any source other than Revenues and applied to the
payment of Current Expenses in such Fiscal Year) will be sufficient to provide an amount in
each Fiscal Year at least equal to one hundred ten per centum (110%) of the Principal and
Interest Requirements for such Fiscal Year on account of the Bonds then Outstanding and one
hundred per centum (100%) of al1 amounts required to be deposited or paid pursuant to clauses
(c), (d) and (e) of Section 505 ofthis Resolution for such Fiscal Year.
If the City has covenanted to levy Special Assessments or Impact Fees against property to
be benefitted by any Improvements (which levy is done in accordance with law), and if, in the
case of Special Assessments, the City has pledged such Special Assessments to the payment of
Bonds or portions thereof as provided in Section 516 hereof and if, in the case of Impact Fees,
such Impact Fees are legal1y available for application with respect to Bonds or portions thereof
as permitted under clause "First" of Section 515, then the Net Revenues in any Fiscal Year for
purposes of this Section 502 shal1 be increased by the amount which the Consulting Engineers
estimate will be received from the levy of said Special Assessments or Impact Fees, as the case
may be, during such Fiscal Year, said amount to be the instal1ment payments on the Special
Assessments or Impact Fees, as the case may be, plus, in the case of Special Assessments, any
interest payable on the unpaid portion of the Special Assessments during such Fiscal Year.
If in any Fiscal Year the Net Revenues shal1 be less than the amount required under the
preceding paragraphs of this Section, within 30 days of the receipt of the audit report for such
Fiscal Year, the City shal1 either cause the Finance Director, or employ a Rate Consultant, to
review and analyze the financial status and operations of the Stormwater Utility and to submit,
within 60 days thereafter, a written report to the City recommending revisions of the rates, fees
and charges of the Stormwater Utility and the methods of operation of the Stormwater Utility
that will result in producing the amount so required in the fol1owing Fiscal Year. Promptly upon
its receipt of such recommendations, the City shal1 transmit copies thereof to the City Manager
and, if such recommendations were prepared by the Rate Consultant, the Finance Director and
shal1 revise its rates, fees and charges, or alter its methods of operation and take such other action

principal amount of al1 Bonds then Outstanding may institute and prosecute an action or
proceeding in any court or before any board or commission having jurisdiction to compel the
City to comply with the recommendations and the requirements of the preceding paragraph of
this Section.
If the City shal1 comply with al1 recommendations of the Finance Director or the Rate
Consultant, as applicable, in respect to its rates, fees, charges and methods of operation, the
failure of Net Revenues to meet the requirements in the first paragraph of this Section shal1 not
constitute an Event of Default so long as the Revenues, together with available moneys in the
Funds and Accounts created in Article V of this Resolution, are sufficient to pay in cash the
Current Expenses and to pay the Principal and Interest Requirements on al1 Outstanding Bonds
and other Utility Debt for such Fiscal Year.
Section 503. Annual Budget. The City covenants that not later than thirty (30) days
before the end of each Fiscal Year it will prepare a preliminary budget covering Revenues,

final1y adopt the budget covering the above items for such Fiscal Year (herein sometimes called
the "Annual Budget"). Copies of the Annual Budget shal1 be filed with the Finance Director and
mailed by the City to al1 Bondholders who shal1 have filed their names and addresses with the
Finance Director for such purpose.
If for any reason the City shal1 not have adopted the Annual Budget before the first day
of any Fiscal Year, the Annual Budget for the preceding Fiscal Year shal1, until the adoption of
the Annual Budget, be deemed to be in force and shal1 be treated as the Annual Budget under the
provisions of this Article.
The City may at any time adopt an amended or supplemental Annual Budget for the
remainder of the then current Fiscal Year and the Annual Budget so amended or supplemented
shal1 be treated as the Annual Budget under the provisions of this Article. There shal1 be no

The City further covenants that the amount expended for Current Expenses in any Fiscal
Year will not exceed the reasonable and necessary amount therefor, and that it will not expend
any amount for maintenance, repair and operation of the Stormwater Utility in excess of the total
amount provided for Current Expenses in the Annual Budget. Nothing in this Section contained

Amortization Requirement, if any, for such Fiscal Year for such Term Bonds,
plus the applicable premium, if any, and any deficiency in any preceding Fiscal

Second: Term Bonds of each Series, if any, in proportion (as nearly as

originally issued; and
Third: after the retirement of all Term Bonds, if any, Serial Bonds issued
under the provisions ofthis Resolution in the inverse order of their maturities and,
to the extent that Serial Bonds of different Series mature on the same date, in
proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the principal amount of Bonds of each
Series maturing on such date.
Upon the retirement of any Bonds by purchase or redemption there shall be filed with the

Section 509. Application of Monevs in Reserve Account. Moneys held for the credit of
the Reserve Account shall first be used for the purpose of paying the interest on and the principal
of the Bonds whenever and to the extent that the moneys held for the credit of the Bond Service
Subaccount (after any transfers thereto from the Rate Stabilization Account as provided in
Section 510 hereof) shall be insufficient for such purpose and thereafter for the purpose of
making deposits to the credit of the Redemption Subaccount in respect of such Bonds pursuant to
the requirements of clause (b) of Section 505 of this Resolution whenever and to the extent that
withdrawals from the Enterprise Fund (including transfers from the Rate Stabilization Fund as
provided in Section 510 hereof) are insufficient for such purposes; provided, however, that
moneys held for the credit of a separate subaccount in the Reserve Account shal1 be applied to
the foregoing purposes and in the foregoing manner, but only for the benefit of the Series of
Bonds for which such separate subaccount was established and such Series of Bonds shall only
have a claim upon such separate subaccount and not upon any other moneys on deposit in the
Reserve Account. If at any time the moneys held for the credit of the Reserve Account shal1
exceed the Reserve Account Requirement, such excess shall be withdrawn and deposited to the

Millllli; 2307 40000 14~ Documml ., 53 II vS

excesses which relate to such Series of Bonds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City may cause to be deposited to the credit of the
Reserve Account (or the applicable subaccount therein) a Reserve Account Insurance Policy or
Reserve Account Letter of Credit for the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds, either in
substitution for all or a portion of the amount then on deposit therein, or in an amount equal to
the difference between the amount required to be deposited in such Reserve Account and the
sum, if any, then on deposit in such Reserve Account (or the applicable subaccount therein),
which Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit shall be payable
(upon the giving of notice as required thereunder) on any Interest Payment Date or principal
payment date on which a deficiency exists for the Bonds or the Series of Bonds for which such
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit was issued, which cannot
be cured by moneys in the Reserve Account or any other Fund, Account or Subaccount held
pursuant to this Resolution and available for such purpose. In connection with the issuance of
the Series 2000 Bonds, the City shal1 satisfy the Reserve Account Requirement by the deposit of
the 2000 Reserve Account Insurance Policy to the credit of the Reserve Account.
If any Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit is
substituted for moneys on deposit in the Reserve Account (or the applicable subaccount therein),
the excess moneys in the Reserve Account shal1 be applied to satisfy any such deficiency in any
of the Funds, Accounts or Subaccounts under this Resolution, and any remaining balance shall
be deemed surplus, shall be released from the lien of this Resolution and may be used by the City
for any lawful purpose. If a disbursement is made from a Reserve Account Insurance Policy or
Reserve Account Letter of Credit, the City shall be obligated, as provided in Section 505(c), to
either reinstate the maximum limits of such Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve
Account Letter of Credit following such disbursement or deposit into such Reserve Account
funds in the amount of the disbursement made under such Reserve Account Insurance Policy or
Reserve Account Letter of Credit, or to undertake a combination of such alternatives.
In the event that upon the occurrence of any deficiency in the Debt Service Account, the
Reserve Account is then funded with one or more Reserve Account Insurance Policies and/or
Reserve Account Letters of Credit, the City or the Bond Registrar, as applicable, shall, on the
Interest Payment Date or principal payment date to which such deficiency relates, draw upon or
cause to be paid under such facilities, on a pro-rata basis thereunder, an amount sufficient to remedy
such deficiency, in accordance with the terms and provisions of such facilities and any
corresponding reimbursement or other agreement governing such facilities; provided however, that
if at the time of such deficiency the Reserve Account is only partially funded with one or more
Reserve Account Insurance Policies and/or Reserve Account Letters of Credit, prior to drawing on
such facilities or causing payments to be made thereunder, there shall first be applied any cash and
securities on deposit in the Reserve Account to remedy the deficiency and, if after such application
a deficiency still exists, the City or the Bond Registrar, as applicable, shal1 make up the balance of
the deficiency by drawing on such facilities or causing payments to be made thereunder, as provided
in this paragraph. Amounts drawn or paid under a Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve
Account Letter of Credit shal1 be applied as set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 509. Any
amounts drawn or paid under a Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of
58
Miomi,2307<MlOO14,Ool;luDmt#:5311v5
Credit shal1 be reimbursed to the issuer thereof in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
reimbursement or other agreement governing such facility, including with respect to the 2000
Reserve Account Insurance Policy, the Reserve Account Policy Agreement.
In the event that all or a portion of the Reserve Account Requirement shall be provided
by a Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit, the City shall do all
things necessary to receive, or have the Bond Registrar receive, in a timely fashion from the
provider of such Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit amounts
required to be expended pursuant to this Section.
Section 510. Application of Monevs in Rate Stabilization Account. Moneys held for
the credit of the Rate Stabilization Account shall be disbursed, upon the written direction of the
Finance Director, for transfer to the Enterprise Fund, at such times and in such amounts as the
Finance Director shall determine, and may be used to pay Current Expenses and for the
following additional purposes. If at any time the moneys held for the credit of the Bond Service
Subaccount shall be insufficient for the purpose of paying the interest on and the principal of the
Bonds as such interest and principal become due and payable, then the City shal1 withdraw from
any moneys held for the credit of the Rate Stabilization Account and deposit to the credit of the
Bond Service Subaccount an amount sufficient to make up any such deficiency. If at any time
the Net Revenues shall be insufficient for making the deposits to the credit of the Redemption
Subaccount required by clause (b) of Section 505 of this Article, then the City shall withdraw
from any moneys held for the credit of the Rate Stabilization Account and deposit to the credit of
the Redemption Subaccount an amount sufficient to make up any such deficiency; provided,
however, that no such transfer shall be made unless the moneys then held for the credit of the
Bond Service Subaccount are at least equal to the maximum requirement therefor under clause
(a) of said Section 505.
Section 511. Application of Monevs in Subordinated Indebtedness Account. The City
shall on the business day immediately preceding the date on which any payment in respect of
principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on any Subordinated Indebtedness shall

holders of such Subordinated Indebtedness the amount required to pay such principal,
redemption premium or interest becoming due and payable, all as provided in the ordinance,

incurred (the "Subordinated Indebtedness Instrument").

Subordinated Indebtedness, establish within the Subordinated Indebtedness Account a special
reserve subaccount for such Subordinated Indebtedness. Moneys deposited to the credit of the
Subordinated Indebtedness Account with respect to any reserve subaccount deposit requirement
established in a Subordinated Indebtedness Instrument shall be deposited in said subaccount and
held as a reserve for the corresponding Subordinated Indebtedness, as shall be more fully set
forth in such Subordinated Indebtedness Instrument.

as an investment of moneys therein shall be valued at the lower of (i) par, or amortized value if
purchased at other than par, or (ii) market value, plus, in each case, accrued interest. Amortized
value, when used with respect to an obligation purchased at a premium above or a discount
below par, means the value as of any given time obtained by dividing the total premium or
discount at which such obligation was purchased by the number of days remaining to maturity on
such obligation at the date of such purchase and by multiplying the amount thus calculated by the
number of days having passed since such purchase, and (1) in the case of an obligation
purchased at a premium by deducting the product thus obtained from the purchase price, and (2)

income; provided that the City shall separately account for the amounts so commingled. The
amounts required to be accounted for in each of the Funds and Accounts designated herein may

accounting procedures are maintained to reflect and control the restricted allocations of the
amounts on deposit therein for the various purposes of such Funds and Accounts as herein

remain Outstanding, it shall comply with the requirements of the Code, including any arbitrage
rebate covenants in connection with the issuance of any Series of Bonds, except to the extent that

such Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes to the Holders
thereof under the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise,
the City shal1 not be required to comply with the covenants herein contained to the extent that
65

a special fund designated "Series 2000 Arbitrage Rebate Fund" which shall be held by the City

this Resolution to be signed or executed by Bondholders may be in any number of concurrent
instruments of similar tenor and may be signed or executed by such Bondholders or their
attorneys or legal representatives. Proof of the execution of any such instrument and of the

in favor of the City with regard to any action taken by it under such instrument if made in the
following manner:

may be proved by the verification of any officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws
thereof, has power to take affidavits within such jurisdiction, to the effect that such
instrument was subscribed and sworn to before him, or by an affidavit of a witness to
such execution. Where such execution is on behalf of a person other than an individual

signer thereof.
(b) The fact of the ownership of Bonds shall be proved by the registration
books required to be maintained pursuant to Article II of this Resolution.
Nothing contained in this Article shal1 be construed as limiting the City to such proof, it

Holder of the same Bond in respect of anything done by the City in pursuance of such request or
consent.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section, the City shall not be
required to recognize any person as a Holder of any Bond or to take any action at his request
unless such Bond shall be deposited with it.

PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE BOND INSURER
Section 1201. Provisions Relating to the Bond Insurer. For so long as the Bond
Insurance Policy is in effect, and with respect to clause (n) below, solely while the 2000 Reserve
Account Insurance Policy is in effect, and the Bond Insurer has not defaulted in its obligations
thereunder, and notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Resolution, the
City, the Bond Registrar and the Holders of the Bonds, as applicable, covenant and agree, but
solely for the benefit of the Bond Insurer, as follows:
(a) The Bond Insurer will be deemed the Holder of the Series 2000 Bonds under this
Resolution, in lieu of the registered owners thereof, for purposes of (i) consenting to the adoption
of any supplemental resolution pursuant to Section 1002 of this Resolution and (ii) exercising
any rights and remedies granted to the Holders of the Series 2000 Bonds under this Resolution
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that the Bond Insurer
shall not have the right to decrease the amount of principal or interest due and owing on the
Series 2000 Bonds or extend the dates of payment of installments of principal of and interest on
the Series 2000 Bonds.
(b) Upon issuance of any Series of Bonds, there shal1 be deposited in the Reserve
Account, on the date of issuance of such Series of Bonds, cash, a Reserve Account Insurance

such Series of Bonds.
(c) Notice of any optional redemption of Series 2000 Bonds shall either (i) explicitly
state that the proposed redemption is conditioned on there being on deposit in the applicable
Fund, Account or Subaccount on the redemption date sufficient money to pay the full
redemption price of the Series 2000 Bonds to be redeemed, or (ii) be sent only if sufficient
money to pay the full redemption price of the Series 2000 Bonds to be redeemed is on deposit in
the applicable Fund, Account or Subaccount.
(d) To the extent there are no funds available in the other Funds, Accounts and
Subaccounts established pursuant to this Resolution, the City shall use the remaining funds in the
Construction Fund to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds in the event of a payment default.
(e) In determining whether a payment default has occurred or whether a payment on
the Series 2000 Bonds has been made under this Resolution, no effect shal1 be given to payments
made under the Bond Insurance Policy.
(f) The Bond Insurer shall receive inunediate notice of any payment default and
notice of any other default known to the Bond Registrar or the City within 30 days of the Bond

payment date on the Series 2000 Bonds, transfer from the applicable Accounts and Subaccounts
86
Millmi~ 2307-4-.0001..; DocIun<DIII: S31l v5
to the Bond Registrar the amounts necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Series
2000 Bonds. If, on the third day preceding any payment date for the Series 2000 Bonds there is
not on deposit with the Bond Registrar sufficient moneys available to pay all principal of and
interest on the Series 2000 Bonds due on such date, the Bond Registrar shall immediately notify
the Bond Insurer and State Street Bank and Trust Company, N.A., New York, New York or its
successor as its Fiscal Agent (the "Fiscal Agent") of the amount of such deficiency. If, by said
payment date, the City has not provided the amount of such deficiency, the Bond Registrar shall
simultaneously make available to the Bond Insurer and to the Fiscal Agent the registration books
for the Series 2000 Bonds maintained by the Bond Registrar. In addition:
(A) The Bond Registrar shal1 provide the Bond Insurer with a list of the
Bondholders entitled to receive principal or interest payments from the Bond Insurer
under the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy and shall make arrangements for the Bond
Insurer and its Fiscal Agent (1) to mail checks or drafts to Bondholders entitled to receive
full or partial interest payments from the Bond Insurer and (2) to pay principal of the
Series 2000 Bonds surrendered to the Fiscal Agent by the Bondholders entitled to receive
full or partial principal payments from the Bond Insurer; and
(B) The Bond Registrar shal1, at the time it makes the registration books
available to the Bond Insurer pursuant to (A) above, notify Bondholders entitled to
receive the payment of principal of or interest on the Series 2000 Bonds from the Bond
Insurer (1) as to the fact of such entitlement, (2) that the Bond Insurer will remit to them
al1 or part of the interest payments coming due subject to the terms of the Bond Insurance
Policy, (3) that, except as provided in paragraph (ii) below, in the event that any
Bondholder is entitled to receive full payment of principal from the Bond Insurer, such
Bondholder must tender his Series 2000 Bond with the instrument of transfer in the form
provided on the Series 2000 Bond executed in the name of the Bond Insurer, and (4) that,
except as provided in paragraph (ii) below, in the event that such Bondholder is entitled
to receive partial payment of principal from the Bond Insurer, such Bondholder must
tender his Bond for payment first to the Bond Registrar, which shal1 note on such Series
2000 Bond the portion of principal paid by the Bond Registrar, and then, with an
acceptable form of assignment executed in the name of the Bond Insurer, to the Fiscal
Agent, which will then pay the unpaid portion of principal to the Bondholder subject to
the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy.
(ii) In the event that the Bond Registrar has notice that any payment of
principal of or interest on a Series 2000 Bond has been recovered from a Bondholder pursuant to
the United States Bankruptcy Code by a trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with the final,
nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction, the Bond Registrar shall, at the
time it provides notice to the Bond Insurer, notify all Bondholders that in the event that any
Bondholder's payment is so recovered, such Bondholder will be entitled to payment from the
Bond Insurer to the extent of such recovery, and the Bond Registrar shal1 furnish to the Bond
Insurer its records evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on the Series 2000 Bonds
which have been made by the Bond Registrar and subsequently recovered from Bondholders,

87
Miuni;2301<f..OOO14;Dotulnentll,SJllvS
(iii) The Bond Insurer shal1, to the extent it makes payment of principal of or
interest on the Series 2000 Bonds, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such
payments in accordance with the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy and, to evidence such
subrogation, (A) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due interest, the Bond Registrar
shall note the Bond Insurer's rights as subrogee on the registration books maintained by the
Bond Registrar upon receipt from the Bond Insurer of proof of the payment of interest thereon to
the Bondholders of such Series 2000 Bonds and (B) in the case of subrogation as to claims for
past due principal, the Bond Registrar shal1 note the Bond Insurer's rights as subrogee on the
registration books for the Series 2000 Bonds maintained by the Bond Registrar upon receipt of
proof of the payment of principal thereof to the Bondholders of such Series 2000 Bonds.
Notwithstanding anything in this Resolution or the Series 2000 Bonds to the contrary, the Bond
Registrar shal1 make payment of such past due interest and past due principal directly to the
Bond Insurer to the extent that the Bond Insurer is a subrogee with respect thereto.
(h) The City shall send any rating agency rating the Series 2000 Bonds notice of each
amendment to this Resolution and a copy thereof at least 15 days in advance of its adoption. The
Bond Insurer shal1 be provided with a full transcript of all proceedings relating to the execution
of any such amendment.
(i) Only cash, direct non-cal1able obligations of the United States of America and
securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest
by the United States of America, to which direct obligation or guarantee the full faith and credit
of the United States of America has been pledged, Refcorp interest strips, CATS, TIGRS,
STRPS, or defeased municipal bonds rated AAA by Standard & Poor's or Aaa by Moody's (or
any combination of the foregoing) shall be used to effect defeasance of the Series 2000 Bonds
unless the Bond Insurer otherwise approves. In the event of an advance refunding, the City shall
cause to be delivered a verification report of an independent nationally recognized certified
public accountant. If a forward supply contract is employed in connection with the refunding, (i)
such verification report shall expressly state that the adequacy of the escrow to accomplish the
refunding relies solely on the initial escrowed investments and the maturing principal thereof and
interest income thereon and does not assume performance under or compliance with the forward
supply contract, and (ii) the applicable escrow agreement shall provide that in the event of any
discrepancy or difference between the terms of the forward supply contract and the escrow
agreement (or this Resolution, if no separate escrow agreement is utilized), the terms of the
escrow agreement or this Resolution, as applicable, shall be controlling.
(j) For al1 purposes of this Resolution, indebtedness bearing a variable rate of
interest, including Variable Rate Bonds ("Variable Rate Indebtedness"), shal1 be assumed to bear
interest at the highest of: (i) the actual rate on the date of calculation, or if the Variable Rate
Indebtedness is not yet outstanding, the initial rate (if established and binding), (ii) if the
Variable Rate Indebtedness has been outstanding for at least twelve months, the average rate
over the twelve months immediately preceding the date of calculation, and (iii) (A) if interest on
the Variable Rate Indebtedness is excludable from gross income under the applicable provisions
of the Code, the most recently published Bond Buyer "Revenue Bond Index" (or comparable
index if no longer published) plus 50 basis points, or (B) if interest is not so excludable, the
interest rate on direct U.S. Treasury Obligations with comparable maturities plus 50 basis
88
MiIlPi;23074-00014; Documenl.' 53l1vS
points; provided, however, that for purposes of the third paragraph of Section 502 of this
Resolution, Variable Rate Bonds shall be deemed to bear interest at the actual rate per annum
applicable during such prior Fiscal Year.
(k) Any Interest Rate Swap entered into in connection with the issuance or incurrence
by the City of Variable Rate Indebtedness secured by Net Revenues on a parity with the Series
2000 Bonds shal1 meet the fol1owing guidelines and, for purposes of calculating "Principal and
Interest Requirements" and establishing compliance with financial covenants under this
Resolution shall be treated as follows:
A. Long Dated Interest Rate Swaps - Term or Weighted Average Maturity of
more than Ten Years.
1. The Counterparty must be rated at least A-/ A3 or better by
Standard & Poor's and Moody's (the "Initial Rating Requirement").
2. Assuming satisfaction of the Initial Rating Requirement, and
thereafter as long as the long term indebtedness of the Counterparty or the claims
paying ability of the Counterparty does not fall below Baa2 or BBB by either
Standard & Poor's or Moody's (the "Minimum Rating Requirement"), al1 interest
rate assumptions for purposes of establishing or demonstrating compliance with a
financial covenant (e.g., rate covenant, reserve requirement, additional bonds test,
asset transfer test, etc.) may be based upon the synthetic fixed interest rate under
the Interest Rate Swap.
Failure to maintain a Counterparty holding the Minimum Rating
Requirement or, if the City elects, failure to replace any such Counterparty with
another Counterparty which holds the Initial Rating Requirement within ten
business days, will have the fol1owing effects: (1) compliance with the provisions
of Section 502 of this Resolution for the preceding Fiscal Year will be based on
the actual interest paid on the Variable Rate Bonds during such Fiscal Year
without regard to the Interest Rate Swap; (2) in the case of the Reserve Account,
the amount required to be on deposit therein wil1 be re-calculated based on the
formula described in clause (j) above, as of the date of original issuance of the
Variable Rate Bonds, and any resulting deficiency will be restored within twelve
months in the same manner as other deficiencies in the Reserve Account are
required to be restored under this Resolution; and (3) any "forward-looking"
financial covenants under this Resolution based upon Principal and Interest
Requirements or Maximum Principal and Interest Requirements will be based
upon the formula described in clause (j) above, calculated as of the date the
required calculation is made.
89
Mi..m; 23074-OOll14; DocIIIlIlIIIllI',SJllrl
B. Short Dated Interest Rate Swaps - Term or Weighted Average Maturity of
Ten Years or Less.
The Counterparty must meet the Initial Rating Requirement. With respect to
financial covenants, the synthetic fixed rate based on the Interest Rate Swap may be
utilized for purposes of demonstrating or establishing compliance with the applicable
covenant. Failure to maintain a Counterparty holding the Minimum Rating Requirement
during the Interest Rate Swap period will require replacement of the Counterparty within
ten business days. Failure to replace will require re-ca1culation of the applicable financial
covenants in the manner outlined in A.2 above.
(1) The City (as to clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (vi) below) and the Bond Registrar
(as to clauses (iv) and (vi) below) shall provide to the Bond Insurer the following information:
(i) Within 180 days after the end of each of the City's Fiscal Years, the
budget for the succeeding Fiscal Year, the Financial Statements, a statement of the
amount on deposit in the Reserve Account as of the last valuation, and, if not presented in
the Financial Statements, a statement of the revenues pledged to payment of the Series
2000 Bonds in such Fiscal Year;
(ii) The official statement or other disclosure document, if any, prepared in
connection with the issuance of additional debt, whether or not on parity with the Series
2000 Bonds within 30 days after the sale thereof;
(iii) Notice of any drawing upon or deficiency due to market fluctuation in the
amount, if any, on deposit in the Reserve Account;
(iv) Notice of the redemption, other than mandatory sinking fund redemption,
of any of the Series 2000 Bonds, or of any advance refunding of the Series 2000 Bonds,
including the principal amount, maturities and CUSIP numbers thereof;
(v) Simultaneously with the delivery of the Financial Statements, a statement
of:
(A) The number of Stormwater Utility accounts as of the end of the
Fiscal Year;
(B) Notification of the withdrawal of any Stormwater Utility user
comprising 5% or more of Stormwater Utility sales measured in terms of revenue
dollars since the last reporting date;
(C) Any significant Stormwater Utility asset retirements or expansions
undertaken since the last reporting date;
(D) Updated capital plans for Stormwater Utility expansIOn and

(E) Results of annual engineering inspections, if any, of the
Stormwater Utility occurring at the end of the Fiscal Year; and
(vi) Such additional information as the Bond Insurer may reasonably request
from time to time.
(m) The notice addresses for the Bond Insurer and the Fiscal Agent are: Financial
Guaranty Insurance Company, 115 Broadway, New York, New York 10006, Attention: Risk
Management; and State Street Bank and Trust Company, N.A., 61 Broadway, New York, New
York 10006, Attention: Corporate Trust Department.
(n) The provisions of the Reserve Account Policy Agreement shal1 be binding on the
City, the Bond Registrar and the Holders of the Bonds the same as if they were set forth in full in
this Resolution and to the extent of any inconsistencies between the provisions of this Resolution
and the Reserve Account Policy Agreement, the provisions of the Reserve Account Policy
Agreement shall control.
