Subject to the payments required by Sections 5C and 5D hereof and except as provided in Section 5F hereof, from the Net Pledged Revenues, there shall be credited from time to time as hereinafter provided to the Debt Service Reserve Account moneys sufficient to accumulate in and maintain the Debt Service Reserve Account at an amount at least equal to ten percent (10%) of the proceeds of the Bonds and any other Parity Securities to which the Debt Service Reserve Account is pledged. In the event that the amount of the Debt Service Reserve Account falls below said amount, the City shall credit to the Debt Service Reserve Account from the Net Pledged Revenues that sum of money needed to accumulate or reaccumulate the amount therein so that at all times the amount of the Debt Service Reserve Account equals said amount. The moneys required to be deposited in the Debt Service Reserve Account, excluding investment earnings which may be required to be deposited in the Excess Investment Earnings Account or rebated to the federal government, shall be set aside, accumulated and, if necessary, reaccumulated from time to time, and maintained as a continuing reserve to be used, except as hereinafter provided in this Section 5E and Sections 5F and 9 hereof, only to prevent deficiencies in payment of the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds, any Additional Parity Bonds and any other Parity Securities then Outstanding resulting from failure to deposit into the Principal and Interest Account sufficient funds to pay such Debt Service Requirements as the same become due. If at any time the City shall for any reason fail to pay into the Principal and Interest Account the full amount above stipulated, then an amount shall be paid into the Principal and Interest Account at such time from the Debt Service Reserve Account equal to the difference between that paid from the Net Pledged Revenues and the full amount so stipulated. The money so used shall be replaced to the Debt Service Reserve Account from the first moneys credited to the Storm Drainage Fund thereafter received and not required to be otherwise applied by Sections 5C and 5D hereof. If Additional Bonds or other Parity Securities are Outstanding and the ordinances authorizing the issuance of those 38 securities require the replacement of moneys in a separate reserve account therefor, then the moneys replaced in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be replaced on a pro rata basis based upon the principal amount of the then Outstanding Bonds and the total principal amount of the then Outstanding Additional Parity Bonds or other Parity Securities, including the Bonds, as moneys become available therefor. If at any time the City shall for any reason fail to pay into the Debt Service Reserve Account the full amount stipulated herein from the Net Pledged Revenues, the difference between the amount paid and the amount so stipulated shall in a like manner be paid therein from the first moneys credited to the Storm Drainage Fund thereafter received and not required to be applied otherwise by Sections 5C and 5D hereof. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed as limiting the right of the City to substitute for the cash deposit required to be maintained hereunder a letter of credit, surety bond, insurance policy, agreement guaranteeing payment, or other undertaking by a financial institution to ensure that cash in the amount otherwise required to be maintained hereunder will be available to the City as needed, provided that any such substitution shall be submitted to Moody's Investors Service, Incorporated and shall not cause the then-current rating of the Bonds to be adversely affected. F. Termination of Deposits. No payment need be made into the Principal and Interest Account or the Debt Service Reserve Account if the amount in the Principal and Interest Account and the amount in the Debt Service Reserve Account total a sum at least equal to the entire amount of the Outstanding Bonds, any Outstanding Additional Parity Bonds and any other Outstanding Parity Securities, as to all Debt Service Requirements, to their respective Maturity Dates or to any Redemption Date or Redemption Dates on which the City shall have exercised or shall have obligated itself to exercise its option to redeem, prior to their respective Maturity Dates, any Bonds, any Additional Parity Bonds and any other Parity Securities, then Outstanding and thereafter maturing (provided that, solely for the purpose of this Section 5F, there shall be deemed to be a credit to the Debt Service Reserve Account of moneys, Federal Securities and bank deposits, or any combination thereof, accounted for in any other fund or account of the City and restricted solely for the purpose of paying the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds, any Additional Parity Bonds or any other Parity Security) , in which case moneys in the Principal and Interest Account and the Debt Service Reserve Account in an amount, except for any known interest or other gain to accrue from any investment or deposit of moneys pursuant to Section 6B hereof from the time of any such investment or deposit to the time or 39 respective times the proceeds of any such investment or deposit shall be needed for such payment, at least equal to such Debt Service Requirements, shall be used together with any such gain from such investments and deposits solely to pay such Debt Service Requirements as the same become due. Any moneys in excess thereof in the Principal and Interest Account and the Debt Service Reserve Account and any other moneys derived from the Income or otherwise pertaining to the Storm Drainage Facilities may be used in any lawful manner determined by the City. G. Payment of Subordinate Securities. After there has been deposited to the Principal and Interest Account an amount sufficient to pay all the Debt Service Requirements due during the current Bond Year on all Bonds, Additional Parity Bonds and other Parity Securities then Outstanding and after the accumulations to and replenishments of the Debt Service Reserve Account to be made in the current Bond Year have been made, any moneys remaining in the Storm Drainage Fund for such Bond Year may be used by the City for the payment of Debt Service Requirements of Subordinate Securities payable from the Net Pledged Revenues and authorized to be issued in accordance with this Ordinance including reasonable reserves for such Subordinate Securities; but the lien of such Subordinate Securities on the Net Pledged Revenues and the pledge thereof for the payment of such Subordinate Securities shall be subordinate to the lien and pledge of the Bonds, any Additional Parity Bonds and any other Parity Securities as herein provided. H. Use of Remaining Revenues. After the payments required to be made by Sections 5A through 5G hereof are made, at the end of any Bond Year, or whenever in any Bond Year there shall have been credited to the Principal and Interest Account and the Debt Service Reserve Account all amounts required to be deposited in those special funds during said Bond Year, as herein provided, any remaining moneys credited to the Storm Drainage Fund may be used for the acquisition of Storm Drainage Facilities or for any one or any combination of lawful purposes as the City may from time to time determine. I. Budget and Appropriation of Sums. The sums required to make the payments specified in this Section 5 are hereby appropriated for said purposes, and the amounts so required in each year shall be included in the annual budget and the appropriation ordinance or measures to be adopted or passed by the Council in each year while any of the Bonds, either as to principal or interest, are Outstanding and unpaid. No provisions of any constitution charter, statute, ordinance, resolution, or other order or measure enacted after the issuance of the Bonds shall in any manner be construed as limiting or impairing the obligation of the City to keep and perform the covenants contained in this Ordinance so long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding and 40 unpaid. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Council from appropriating other funds of the City legally available for this purpose to the Storm Drainage Fund for the purposes thereof. J. Excess Investment Earnings Account. The Financial officer shall transfer into and pay from the Excess Investment Earnings Account hereby created within the Storm Drainage Fund the amount of required arbitrage rebate, if any, due to the federal government under Sections 103 and 148 (f) (2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Financial Officer shall determine such amounts in the manner required by said sections and related regulations. Transfer of the required arbitrage rebate amounts shall be made from the Principal and Interest Account and the Debt Service Reserve Account, provided, however, that required arbitrage rebate payments shall be made to the federal government from legally available funds regardless of whether there are any remaining proceeds or other funds attributable to the Bonds that are available for the purpose. All amounts in the Excess Investment Earnings Account, including income earned from investment thereof, shall be held by the Financial Officer free and clear of any lien created by this Ordinance, and the Financial Officer shall pay over to the federal government from time to time as the Financial Officer shall determine provided that the Financial Officer shall so pay over to the federal government not less frequently than once each five (5) years after the date of issuance of the Bonds, an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the required arbitrage rebate amount earned during such period (and not theretofore paid to the federal government) and not later than sixty (60) days after the redemption of the last Bond, one hundred percent (100%) of the required arbitrage rebate amount. Section 6. General Administration of Funds and Accounts. A. Places and Times of Deposits. Each of the special funds or accounts created or adopted in Section 5 hereof shall be maintained in a Commercial Bank kept separate and apart from all other funds or accounts of the City as trust funds solely for the purposes herein designated. For purposes of investment of moneys, nothing herein prevents the commingling of moneys accounted for in any two or more such funds or accounts pertaining to the Income. Such funds or accounts shall be continuously secured to the fullest extent required or permitted by the laws of the State for the securing of public funds and shall be irrevocable and not withdrawable by anyone for any purpose other than the respective designated purposes of such funds or accounts. Each periodic payment shall be credited to the proper fund or account not later than the date therefor herein designated, except that when any such 41 date shall be a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday, then such payment shall be made on or before the next preceding business day. B. Investment of Funds. Any moneys in any fund or account described in Section 5 hereof may be invested, reinvested or deposited only in Permitted Investments. Securities or obligations purchased as such investments shall either be subject to redemption at any time at face value by the Owner thereof at the option of such Owner or shall mature at such time or times as shall most nearly coincide with the expected need for moneys from the fund or account in question. Securities or obligations so purchased as an investment of moneys in any such fund or account shall be deemed at all times to be a part of the applicable fund or account; provided that (with the exception of the Debt Service Reserve Account and the Excess Investment Earnings Account) the interest accruing on such investments and any profit realized therefrom shall be credited to the Storm Drainage Fund, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the particular fund or account in question. Interest and profit realized from investments in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account, provided that, so long as the amount in the Debt Service Reserve Account equals at least the minimum amount specified in Section 5E hereof, such interest and profit may be transferred to the Principal and Interest Account and distributed in the same manner as other moneys in the Principal and Interest Account. Any loss resulting from such investments in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be charged to the Debt Service Reserve Account. The City shall present for redemption or sale on the prevailing market any securities or obligations so purchased as an investment of moneys in a given fund or account whenever it shall be necessary to do so in order to provide moneys to meet any required payment or transfer from such fund or account. The City shall not invest any moneys accounted for hereunder if any such investment would contravene the covenant contained in Section 8U hereof. C. No Liability for Losses Incurred in Performing Terms of Ordinance. Neither the City nor any officer of the City shall be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any investment or reinvestment made in accordance with this Ordinance. D. Character of Funds. The moneys in any fund or account herein described shall consist of lawful money of the United States of America or Permitted Investments or both such money and Permitted Investments. Moneys deposited in a demand or time deposit account in or evidenced by a certificate of deposit of a Commercial Bank pursuant to Sections 6A and 6B hereof, appropriately secured according to the laws of the State, shall be deemed lawful money of the United States of America. 42 E. Accelerated Payments optional. Nothing contained herein prevents the accumulation in any fund or account designated herein of any monetary requirements at a faster rate than the rate or minimum rate, as the case may be, provided therefor, but no payment shall be so accelerated if such acceleration shall cause a default in the payment of any obligation of the City pertaining to the Income. Section 7. Priorities• Liens• Issuance of Additional Bonds. A. First Lien on Net Pledged Revenues• Equality of Bonds. Except as expressly provided in this ordinance with respect to Additional Parity Bonds, other Parity Securities and Subordinate Securities, the Net Pledged Revenues shall be and hereby are irrevocably pledged and set aside to pay the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds. The Bonds constitute an irrevocable and first lien (but not necessarily an exclusive first lien) upon the Net Pledged Revenues. The Bonds, any Additional Parity Bonds and any other Parity Securities issued and from time to time outstanding are equitably and ratably secured by a lien on the Net Pledged Revenues and shall not be entitled to any priority one over the other in the application of the Net Pledged Revenues regardless of the time or times of the issuance thereof, it being the intention of the Council that there shall be no priority among the Bonds, any Additional Parity Bonds and any other Parity Securities, regardless of the fact that they may be actually issued and delivered at different times. B. Issuance of Additional Parity Bonds. Nothing herein, except the limitations stated in Section 7F hereof, prevents the issuance by the City of Additional Parity Bonds payable from the Net Pledged Revenues and constituting a lien on the Net Pledged Revenues on a parity with, but not prior or superior to, the lien thereon of the Bonds; but before any such Additional Parity Bonds are authorized or actually issued the City shall satisfy the following conditions: (1) Absence of Default. At the time of the adoption of the supplemental ordinance or other instrument authorizing the issuance of the Additional Parity Bonds as provided in Section 7F hereof, the City shall not be in default in making any payments required by Section 5 hereof. (2) Historic Revenues Tests. Except as hereinafter provided in the case of Additional Parity Bonds issued for the 43 purpose of refunding less than all of the Bonds and other Parity Securities then Outstanding, the Net Pledged Revenues for the last complete Fiscal Year prior to the issuance of the proposed Additional Parity Bonds, as certified by a Consulting Engineer or Independent Accountant, must have been equal to at least one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Combined Average Annual Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds then Outstanding, any Additional Parity Bonds then Outstanding, and the Additional Parity Bonds proposed to be issued. If any adjustment in stormwater basin fees, stormwater utility fees or other storm drainage rates, fees, tolls or charges is made by the City during such Fiscal Year, the Consulting Engineer or Independent Accountant shall adjust the calculation of the Net Pledged Revenues to reflect the amount thereof that would have been received if such adjustment had been in effect throughout such Fiscal Year. For purposes of this Section 7B(2) , when computing the Average Annual Debt Service Requirements for any issue of securities bearing interest at a variable, adjustable, convertible or other similar rate which is not fixed for the entire term thereof, it shall be assumed that any such securities Outstanding at the time of the computation will bear interest during any period, if the interest rate for such period has not been determined, at a fixed rate equal to the higher of 9. 2% per annum or the highest interest rate borne during the preceding twenty-four (24) months by outstanding securities of the City (excluding securities issued pursuant part 1 of article 3 of title 29, Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended, or other similar securities) bearing interest at a variable, adjustable, convertible or other similar rate or, if no such securities of the City are Outstanding at the time of the computation, by any similar securities for which the interest rate is determined by reference to an index comparable to that to be utilized in connection with the securities proposed to be issued, or if the interest rate for such period has been determined and is not subject to variation, adjustment or conversion prior to the expiration of such period, at the fixed rate so determined. It shall further be assumed that any such securities which may be tendered prior to maturity for purchase at the option of the Owner thereof will mature on their stated Maturity Dates or mandatory Redemption Dates. In the case of Additional Parity Bonds issued for the purpose of refunding less than all of the Bonds and other Parity Securities then Outstanding, compliance with this Section 7B(2) shall not be required so long as the Debt Service Requirements payable on all Bonds and other Parity Securities Outstanding after the issuance of such Additional Parity Bonds on each Interest Payment Date does not exceed the Debt Service Requirements payable on all Bonds and other 44 Parity Securities outstanding prior to the issuance of such Additional Parity Bonds on such Interest Payment Dates. (3) Adecuate Reserves. The proceedings under which any such Additional Parity Bonds are issued must provide for the deposit of moneys to the Debt Service Reserve Account on substantially the same terms as provided in Section 5E hereof and contain a covenant by the City to maintain the Debt Service Reserve Account in an amount equal to ten percent (10$) of the proceeds of the Additional Parity Bonds. Alternatively, if such action is deemed by the City to be necessary or desirable in order to comply with any statute or regulation governing the exemption from federal income taxes of interest on any such Additional Parity Bonds, the proceedings under which any such Additional Parity Bonds are issued may provide for the deposit of moneys to a reserve account (other than the Debt Service Reserve Account) established and maintained for such Additional Parity Bonds on substantially the same terms as provided in Section 5E hereof and contain a covenant by the City to maintain such reserve fund or account in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the proceeds of the Additional Parity Bonds, except as may be necessary to comply with such statute or regulation. Any such reserve account shall have a claim to the Net Pledged Revenues equal to and on a parity with that of the Debt Service Reserve Account. C. Certification of Revenues. Where certifications of revenues are required by this Ordinance, the specified and required written certifications of the Consulting Engineer or Independent Accountant revenues are sufficient to pay the required amounts shall be conclusively presumed to be accurate in determining the right of the City to authorize issue, sell and deliver Additional Parity Bonds or other Parity Securities. D. Subordinate Securities Permitted. Nothing herein, except the limitations stated in Section 7F hereof, prevents the City from issuing Subordinate Securities for any lawful purpose. E. Superior Securities Prohibited. Nothing herein permits the City to issue Superior Bonds or Superior. Securities. F. Supplemental Ordinances. Additional Parity Bonds or Subordinate Securities shall be issued only after authorization thereof by ordinance, supplemental ordinance or other instrument of the Council, in substantially the same form as this Ordinance, stating the purpose or purposes of the issuance of such additional securities, directing the application of the proceeds thereof to such purpose or purposes, directing the execution thereof, and fixing and determining the date, series designation, principal 45 amount, maturity or maturities, maximum rate or rates of interest, and prior redemption privileges of the City with respect thereto, and providing for payments to and from the Storm Drainage Fund in accordance with this Ordinance. All additional securities shall bear such date, shall be payable as to principal on December 1 and as to interest on June 1 and December 1 and shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity on such terms and conditions, as may be provided, and shall bear interest at such rate or rates as may be fixed by ordinance, instrument or other document of the Council. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the issuance of additional securities payable from the Net Pledged Revenues, the principal of which is payable more frequently than annually or the interest on which is payable more frequently than semiannually. Section 8. Covenants. The City hereby particularly covenants and agrees with the Owners of the Bonds from time to time, and makes provisions which shall be a part of its contract with such Owners, which covenants and provisions shall be kept by the City continuously until all of the Bonds have been fully paid and discharged: A. Rate Maintenance Covenant. The City shall prescribe, revise, and collect stormwater basin fees, stormwater utility fees and any other storm drainage rates, fees, tolls and charges which shall produce Income sufficient, together with any other moneys legally available therefor and credited to the Storm Drainage Fund, to make the payments and accumulations required by this Ordinance; and which shall produce Income sufficient, together with all other moneys legally available therefor and credited to the Storm Drainage Fund after payment of Operation and Maintenance Expenses, to pay an amount at least equal to one hundred twenty- five percent (125%) of the Combined Average Annual Debt Service Requirements for the Outstanding Bonds and every other issue of Outstanding Additional Parity Bonds or other Parity Securities plus any amounts required to meet then existing deficiencies pertaining to any fund or account relating to the Net Pledged Revenues or any securities payable therefrom. For purposes of this Section 8A, when computing the Average Annual Debt Service Requirements for any issue of securities bearing interest at a variable, adjustable, convertible or other similar rate which is not fixed for the entire term thereof, it shall be assumed that any such securities Outstanding at the time of the computation will bear interest during any period, if the interest rate for such period has not been determined, at a fixed rate equal to the higher of 9.2% per annum or the highest interest rate borne during the preceding twenty-four (24) months by Outstanding securities of the City (excluding securities issued pursuant to part 1 of article 3 of title 29, Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended, or other similar securities) bearing interest at a variable, adjustable, convertible 46 or other similar rate or, if no such securities of the City are Outstanding at the time of the computation, by any similar securities for which the interest rate is determined by reference to an index comparable to that to be utilized in connection with the securities proposed to be issued, or if the interest rate for such period has been determined and is not subject to variation, adjustment or conversion prior to the expiration of such period, at the fixed rate so determined. It shall further be assumed that any such securities which may be tendered prior to maturity for purchase at the option of the Owner thereof will mature on their stated Maturity Dates or mandatory Redemption Dates. In the event that the stormwater basin fees, stormwater utility fees and any other storm drainage rates, fees, tolls and charges at any time should not be sufficient to make all of the payments and accumulations required by this Ordinance, the Council will increase its stormwater basin fees, stormwater utility fees and any other storm drainage rates, fees, tolls and charges to such extent as to insure the payments and accumulations required by the provisions of this Ordinance. B. Collection of Charges. The City shall cause all stormwater basin fees, stormwater utility fees, and any other storm drainage rates, fees, tolls and charges to be billed promptly and collected as soon as reasonable, shall prescribe and enforce rules and regulations or impose contractual obligations for the payment thereof, to the end that the Net Pledged Revenues shall be adequate to meet the requirements of this Ordinance and any other ordinance or instrument supplemental thereto. The stormwater basin fees, stormwater utility fees, and any other storm drainage rates, fees, tolls and charges shall be collected in any lawful manner. C. Competent Management. The City shall employ experienced and competent management personnel for each component of the Storm Drainage Facilities. If the City shall fail to pay the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds promptly as the same become due, or if the City shall fail to keep any of the covenants herein contained, and if such default shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days, or if in any Fiscal Year the Net Pledged Revenues, together with any other moneys legally available therefor and credited to the Storm Drainage Fund, should fail to equal at least the amount of the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds and other obligations payable from the Net Pledged Revenues due in the Comparable Bond Year, the City shall retain a firm of competent management Persons skilled in the operation of storm drainage facilities to assist in the management of the Storm Drainage Facilities so long as such default or deficiency continues. D. Performance of Duties. The City, acting by and through its officers, or otherwise, shall faithfully and punctually 47 perform, or cause to be performed, all duties with respect to the Income and the Storm Drainage Facilities required by the Constitution and laws of the State and the ordinances, resolutions and contracts of the City, including without limitation the proper segregation of the proceeds of the Bonds and the Income and their application from time to time to the respective funds and accounts provided therefor. E. Costs of Issuance and of Performance. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, payment of the Debt Service Requirements, or the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement contained in this Ordinance shall be paid exclusively (but only from the appropriate special fund in the manner authorized herein) from the proceeds of the Bonds, the Net Pledged Revenues, or other legally available moneys, and in no event shall any of such costs or expenses be required to be paid out of or charged to the general fund of the City. F. Contractual Obligations. The City will perform all contractual obligations undertaken by it under the Bond Purchase Agreement and any other agreements relating to the Bonds, the Income or the Storm Drainage Facilities. G. Further Assurances. At any and all times the City shall, so far as it may be authorized by law, pass, make, do execute, acknowledge, deliver, and file or record all and every such further instruments, acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, transfers, other documents, and assurances as may be necessary or desirable for the better assuring, conveying, granting, assigning and confirming all and singular the rights, the Net Pledged Revenues and other funds hereby pledged or assigned, or intended so to be, or which the City may hereafter become bound to pledge or assign, or as may be reasonable and required to carry out the purposes of this Ordinance. The City, acting by and through its officers, or otherwise, shall at all times, to the extent permitted by law, defend, preserve and protect the pledge of the Net Pledged Revenues and other funds and accounts pledged hereunder and all the rights of every Owner of any of the Bonds against all claims and demands of all Persons. H. Conditions Precedent. Upon the date of issuance of any of the Bonds, all conditions, acts and things required by the Constitution or laws of the United States of America, the Constitution or laws of the State, the Charter, the Code and this Ordinance to exist, to have happened, and to have been performed precedent to or in the issuance of the Bonds shall exist, have happened and have been performed, and the Bonds, together with all other obligations of the City, shall not contravene any debt or other limitation prescribed by the Constitution or laws of the 48 United States of America, the Constitution or laws of the State, the Charter or the Code. I. Efficient Operation and Maintenance. The City shall at all times operate the Storm Drainage Facilities properly and in a sound and economical manner. The City shall maintain, preserve and keep the Storm Drainage Facilities properly or cause the same so to be maintained, preserved, and kept, with the appurtenances and every part and parcel thereof in good repair, working order and condition, and shall from time to time make or cause to be made all necessary and proper repairs, replacements and renewals so that at all times the maintenance of the Storm Drainage Facilities may be properly and advantageously conducted. All salaries, fees, wages and other compensation paid by the City in connection with the repair, maintenance and operation of the Storm Drainage Facilities shall be fair and reasonable. J.

The City shall observe and perform all of the terms and conditions contained in this Ordinance and shall comply with all valid acts, rules, regulations, orders and directives of any legislative, executive, administrative or judicial body applicable to the Storm Drainage Facilities or the City. L. Payment of Governmental Charges. The City shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes and assessments or other municipal or governmental charges, if any, lawfully levied or assessed upon or in respect of the Storm Drainage Facilities, or upon any part thereof, or upon any portion of the Income, when the same shall become due, and shall duly observe and comply with all valid requirements of any municipal or governmental authority relative to the Storm Drainage Facilities, or any part thereof, except for any period during which the same are being contested in good faith by proper legal proceedings. The City shall not create or suffer to be created any lien or charge upon the Storm Drainage Facilities, or any part thereof, or upon the Income, except the pledge and lien created by this Ordinance for the payment of the Debt Service Requirements due in connection with the Bonds, and except as herein otherwise permitted. The City shall pay or cause to be discharged or shall make adequate provision to satisfy and to discharge, within ninety (90) days after the same shall become 49 payable, all lawful claims and demands for labor, materials, supplies or other objects which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the Storm Drainage Facilities, or any part thereof, or the Income, but nothing herein requires the City to pay or to cause to be discharged or to make provision for any such tax, assessment, lien or charge, so long as the validity thereof is contested in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings. M. Protection of Security. The City, its officers, agents and employees, shall not take any action in such manner or to such extent as might prejudice the security for the payment of the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds and any other securities payable from the Net Pledged Revenues according to the terms thereof. No contract shall be entered into nor any other action taken by which the rights of any Owner of any Bonds or other securities payable from Net Pledged Revenues might be prejudicially and materially impaired or diminished. N. Accumulation of Interest Claims. In order to prevent any accumulation of claims for interest after maturity, the City shall not directly or indirectly extend or assent to the extension of the time for the payment of any claim for interest on any of the Bonds or any other securities payable from the Net Pledged Revenues; and the City shall not directly or indirectly be a party to or approve any arrangements for any such extension or for the purpose of keeping alive any of such claims for interest. If the time for the payment of any such installment of interest is extended in contravention of the foregoing provisions, such installment or installments of interest after such extension or arrangement shall not be entitled in case of default hereunder to the benefit or the security of this Ordinance, except upon the prior payment in full of the principal of all of the Bonds and any such securities the payment of which has not been extended. O. Prompt Payment of Bonds. The City shall promptly pay the Debt Service Requirements of every Bond at the places, on the dates, and in the manner specified herein and in the Bonds according to the true intent and meaning hereof. P. Use of Principal and Interest Account and Debt Service Reserve Account.

Q. Additional Securities. The City shall not hereafter issue any bonds or securities relating to the Storm Drainage 50 i 1 Facilities and payable from the Net Pledged Revenues, other than the Bonds, without compliance with the requirements with respect to the issuance of Additional Parity Bonds or other securities set forth herein to the extent applicable. R. Other Liens. There are no liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on or against the Storm Drainage Facilities or any part thereof or on or against the Net Pledged Revenues. S.

Subject to Section 8V hereof, except for the use of the Storm Drainage Facilities and services pertaining thereto in the normal course of business, neither all nor a substantial part of the Storm Drainage Facilities shall be sold, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered, alienated or otherwise disposed of, until all of the Bonds have been paid in full, as to all Debt Service Requirements, or unless provision has been made therefor, or until the Bonds have otherwise been redeemed, including, without limitation, the termination of the pledge as herein authorized. Subject to Section 8V hereof, the City shall not dispose of its title to the Storm Drainage Facilities or to any useful part thereof, including any property necessary to the operation and use of the Storm Drainage Facilities and the lands and interests in lands comprising the Storm Drainage Facilities. T. Surety Bonds. Each official or other person having custody of the Income or responsible for its handling, shall be fully bonded at all times with such bonds conditioned upon the proper application of said moneys. The cost of such bonds shall be considered an Operation and Maintenance Expense, unless otherwise provided by law. U. Tax Matters. The City shall make no investment or other use of the proceeds of the Bonds, which, if such investment or other use had been reasonably expected on the date of issue of the Bonds, would have caused the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of the Tax Code and the regulations thereunder and shall comply with all requirements of the Tax Code and said regulations throughout the term of the Bonds. V. Disposal of Property. No part of the Storm Drainage Facilities shall be sold, leased, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of or otherwise alienated, until all of the Bonds have been paid in full, or unless provision has been made therefor, or until the Bonds have otherwise been redeemed; provided, however, that the City may sell, exchange or lease at any time and from time to time any property or facilities constituting part of the Storm Drainage Facilities and not needed in the construction, reconstruction or operation thereof; but any proceeds of any such sale or exchange received and not used to replace such 51 property so sold or exchanged shall be deposited in the Storm Drainage Fund, and any proceeds of any such lease received shall be deposited by the City as revenues of the Storm Drainage Facilities. W. Loss from Condemnation. If any part of the Storm Drainage Facilities is taken by the exercise of a power of eminent domain, the amount of any award received by the City as a result of such taking shall be expended upon the improvement of the Storm Drainage Facilities or shall be applied to the redemption of the Outstanding Bonds, any Outstanding Additional Parity Bonds and any other Outstanding Parity Securities in accordance with the provisions hereof and of any other instrument pertaining to the issuance of any such Parity Securities at maturity or prior thereto if the authorizing ordinances authorize the prior redemption of such securities, or shall be deposited in the Storm Drainage Fund and held as a reserve for expenditure subsequently upon such capital improvements, or any combination thereof, as the Council may determine. X. Inspection of Records. Any Owner of any of the Bonds or any other securities payable from the Net Pledged Revenues, any duly authorized agent or agents of such Owner, or the Purchaser shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect all records, accounts and data relating thereto, concerning the Storm Drainage Facilities, or the Income to make copies of such records, accounts and data at the Owner's or Purchaser's expense, and to inspect the Storm Drainage Facilities and properties comprising the Storm Drainage Facilities. Y. Audits Reauired. The City, annually following the close of each Fiscal Year, shall order an audit for the Fiscal Year of the books and accounts pertaining to the Storm Drainage Facilities to be made forthwith by an Independent Accountant, and order an audit report showing the receipts and disbursements for each fund or account pertaining to the Storm Drainage Facilities or the Income. All expenses incurred in the making of the audits and reports required by this subsection may be regarded and paid as an Operation and Maintenance Expense. Z. Insurance and Reconstruction. Except to the extent that the City elects to insure itself, the City shall at all times maintain with responsible insurers all such insurance reasonably required and obtainable within limits and at costs deemed reasonable by the City as is customarily maintained with respect to storm drainage facilities of like character against loss of or damage to the Storm Drainage Facilities and against public and other liability to the extent at least reasonably necessary to protect the interest of the City and of each Owner of Bonds or any other security payable from the Net Pledged Revenues, except as 52 herein otherwise provided. If any useful part of the Storm Drainage Facilities shall be damaged or destroyed, the City shall, as expeditiously as possible, commence and diligently proceed with the repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed property so as to restore the same to use. The proceeds of any insurance appertaining to the Storm Drainage Facilities shall be payable to the City and (except for proceeds of use and occupancy insurance) shall be applied to the necessary costs involved in such repair and replacement, and to the extent not so applied shall (together with the proceeds of any such use and occupancy insurance) be deposited in the Storm Drainage Fund as Income. If the costs of such repair and replacement of the damaged or destroyed property exceed the proceeds of such property insurance available for payment of the same, moneys in the Storm Drainage Fund shall be used to the extent necessary for such purpose, as permitted by Section 5H hereof. Section 9. Defeasance. When all Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds have been duly paid, the pledge and lien and all obligations hereunder shall thereby be discharged and the Bonds shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding within the meaning of this Ordinance. There shall be deemed to be such due payment when the City has placed in escrow or in trust with a Trust Bank, located within or without the State, moneys or Federal Securities in an amount sufficient (including the known minimum yield available for such purpose from Federal Securities in which such amount wholly or in part may be initially invested) to pay all Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds as the same become due. The Federal Securities shall become due prior to the respective times at which the proceeds thereof shall be needed, in accordance with a schedule established and agreed upon between the City and such bank at the time of the creation of the escrow or trust, or the Federal Securities shall be subject to redemption at the option of the Owner thereof to assure such availability as so needed to meet such schedule. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit a partial defeasance of the Outstanding Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9. Section 10. Default Provisions and Remedies of Bond Owners. A. Events of Default. Each of the following events is hereby declared to be and to constitute an Event of Default: (1) Nonpayment of Principal. Payment of the principal of any of the Bonds is not made when the same becomes due and payable, either at maturity or by proceedings for prior redemption, or otherwise; 53 (2) Nonpayment of Interest. Payment of any interest is not made when the same becomes due and payable; (3) Incapacity to Perform. The City for any reason becomes incapable of fulfilling its obligations hereunder; (4) Nonperformance of Duties. The City shall have failed to carry out and to perform (or in good faith to begin the performance of) all acts and things lawfully required to be carried out or to be performed by it under any contract relating to the Income or to the Storm Drainage Facilities or otherwise, including, without limitation, this Ordinance, and such failure shall continue for sixty (60) days after receipt of notice from the Owners of twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding; provided that if such failure cannot be cured within such sixty (60) days and if during that period corrective action has commenced to remedy such failure and subsequently is diligently pursued by the City to the completion of such performance, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred; (5) Failure to Reconstruct. The City discontinues or unreasonably delays or fails to carry out with reasonable dispatch the reconstruction of any essential part of the Storm Drainage Facilities which is condemned, destroyed or damaged and is not promptly repaired or replaced (whether such failure to repair the same is due to impracticality of such repair or replacement, or is due to a lack of moneys therefor, or for other reason) ; (6) Appointment of Receiver. An order or decree is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, with the consent or acquiescence of the City, appointing a receiver or receivers for the Storm Drainage Facilities or for the Income and any other moneys subject to the lien to secure the payment of the Bonds, or both the Storm Drainage Facilities and such moneys, or if any order or decree, having been entered without the consent or acquiescence of the City, is not vacated or discharged or stayed on appeal within sixty (60) days after entry; (7) Default of Any Provision. The City makes any default in the due and punctual performance of any other of the representations, covenants, conditions, agreements and other provisions contained in the Bonds or in this Ordinance on its part to be performed, and if such default continues for sixty (60) days after written notice, specifying such default and requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the City by the Owners of twenty-five percent (25%) in 54 aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding; provided that if such default cannot be cured within such sixty (60) days and if during that period corrective action has commenced to remedy such default and subsequently is diligently pursued to the completion of such performance, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred. B. Remedies for Defaults. Upon the happening and continuance of any of the Events of Default, as provided in section 10A hereof, then and in every case the Owner or Owners of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, including, without limitation, a trustee or trustees therefor, may proceed against the City and its agents, officers and employees to protect and to enforce the rights of any Owner of Bonds under this Ordinance by mandatory injunction or by other suit, action, or special proceedings in equity or at law, in any court of competent jurisdiction, either for the appointment of a receiver or an operating trustee or for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or for any proper legal or equitable remedy as such Owner or Owners may deem most effectual to protect and to enforce the rights aforesaid, or thereby to enjoin any act or thing which may be unlawful or in violation of any right of any Owner of any Bond, or to require the City to act as if it were the trustee of an expressed trust, or any combination of such remedies, or as otherwise may be authorized by any statute or other provision of law. All such proceedings at law or in equity shall be _instituted, had and maintained for the equal benefit of all Owners of the Bonds, and any Additional Parity Bonds or other Parity Securities then Outstanding. Any receiver or operating trustee appointed in any proceedings to protect the rights of such Owners hereunder may collect, receive and apply all Income arising after the appointment of such receiver or operating trustee in the same manner as the City itself might do. The consent to any such appointment is hereby expressly granted by the City. C. Rights and Privileges Cumulative. The failure of any Owner of any Outstanding Bond to proceed in any manner herein provided shall not relieve the City or any of its officers, agents or employees of any liability for failure to perform to carry out any duty, obligation or other commitment. Each right or privilege of any such Owner or trustee therefor is in addition and is cumulative to any other right or privilege, and the exercise of any right or privilege by or on behalf of any Owner shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right or privilege thereof. Each Owner of any Bond shall be entitled to all of the privileges, rights and remedies provided or permitted in this Ordinance and as otherwise provided or permitted by law or in equity or by statute, except as provided in sections 12A and 12B hereof, and subject to the applicable provisions concerning the Income and the proceeds of the 55 Bonds. Nothing herein affects or impairs the right of any Owner of any Bond to enforce the payment of the Debt Service Requirements due in connection with this Bond or the obligation of the City to pay the Debt Service Requirements of each Bond to the Owner thereof at the time and the place expressed in such Bond. D. Duties Upon Default. Upon the happening of any of the Events of Default as provided in Section 10A hereof, the City, in addition, will do and perform all proper acts on behalf of and for the Owners of the Outstanding Bonds to protect and to preserve the security created for the payment of their Bonds and to insure the payment of the Debt Service Requirements promptly as the same become due. During any period of default, so long as any of the Bonds, as to any Debt Service Requirements, are Outstanding, except to the extent it may be unlawful to do so, all Net Pledged Revenues shall be paid into the Principal and Interest Account on an equitable and prorated basis, and used for the purposes therein provided. If the City fails or refuses to proceed as in this Section 10D provided, the Owner or Owners of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, after demand in writing, may proceed to protect and to enforce the rights of the Owners of the Bonds as hereinabove provided; and to that end any such Owners of Outstanding Bonds shall be subrogated to all rights of the City under any agreement or contract involving the Net Pledged Revenues entered into prior to the effective date of this Ordinance or thereafter while any of the Bonds are Outstanding. Nothing herein requires the City to proceed as provided herein if it determines in good faith and without any abuse of its discretion that if it so proceeds it is more likely than not to incur a net loss rather than a net gain or such action is likely to affect materially and prejudicially the Owners of the Outstanding Bonds and any Outstanding Parity Securities. E. Evidence of Security Owners. Any request, consent or other instrument which this Ordinance may require or may permit to be signed and to be executed by the Owner of any Bonds or other securities may be in one instrument or more than one instrument of similar tenor and shall be signed or may be executed by each Owner in person or by his attorney appointed in writing. Proof of the execution of any such instrument or of any instrument appointing any such attorney, or the ownership by any Person of the securities, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Ordinance (except as otherwise herein expressly provided) if made in the following manner: (1) Proof of Execution. The fact and the date of the execution by any Owner of any Bonds or other securities or his attorney of such instrument may be proved by the certificate, which need not be acknowledged or verified, of 56 any officer of a bank or trust company satisfactory to the City Clerk or of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be recorded in the state in which he purports to act, that the individual signing such request or other instrument acknowledged to him the execution, duly sworn to before such notary public or other officer; the authority of the individual or individuals executing any such instrument on behalf of a corporate Owner of any securities may be established without further proof if such instrument is signed by an individual purporting to be the president or vice-president of such corporation with the corporate seal affixed and attested by an individual purporting to be its secretary or an assistant secretary; and the authority of any Person or Persons executing any such instrument in any fiduciary or representative capacity may be established without further proof if such instrument is signed by a Person or Persons purporting to act in such fiduciary or representative capacity; and (2) Proof of Ownership. The amount of Bonds owned by any Person executing any instrument as an Owner of Bonds, and the numbers, date and other identification thereof, together with the date of his ownership of the Bonds, shall be determined from the registration books of the City. The amount of other securities, if applicable, owned by any Person executing any instrument as an owner of such securities, and the numbers, date and other identification thereof, together with the date of his ownership, if in bearer form, may be proved by a certificate which need not be acknowledged or verified, in form satisfactory to the City Clerk, executed by a member of a financial firm or by an officer of a bank or trust company, insurance company or financial corporation or other depository satisfactory to the City Clerk, or by any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be recorded in the state in which he purports to act, showing at the date therein mentioned that such Person exhibited to such member, officer, notary public or other officer so authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or had on deposit with such depository the securities described in such certificate or, if in registered form shall be determined from the related registration books; but the City Clerk may nevertheless in his or her discretion require further or other proof in cases where he or she deems the same advisable. F. Warranty Upon Issuance of Bonds. Any of the Bonds as herein provided, when duly executed and registered for the purposes provided for in this Ordinance, shall constitute a warranty by and on behalf of the City for the benefit of each and 57 every future Owner of any of the Bonds that the Bonds have been issued for a valuable consideration in full conformity with law. G. Immunities of Purchaser. The Purchaser and any associate thereof are under no obligation to any Owner of the Bonds for any action that they may not take or in respect of anything that they may or may not do by reason of any information contained in any reports or other documents received by them under the provisions of this Ordinance. The immunities and exemption from liability of the Purchaser and any associate thereof hereunder extend to their partners, directors, successors, assigns, employees and agents. Section 11.
