The Net Pledged Revenues and all moneys and securities
paid or to be paid to or held or to be held in any fund hereunder
(except the Escrow Fund) are hereby pledged to secure the payment
of the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds (including any Policy
Costs incurred by the City) and any other Parity Securities. This
pledge shall be valid and binding from and after the date of the
first delivery of the Bonds, and the moneys, as received by the
City and hereby pledged, shall immediately be subject to the lien
of this pledge without any physical delivery thereof, any filing,
or further act. The lien of this pledge and the obligation to
perform the contractual provisions hereby made shall have priority
over any or all other obligations and liabilities of the City
(except as herein otherwise expressly provided) , and the lien of
this pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties
having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against
the City (except as herein otherwise expressly provided) ,
irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof.
F. Debt Service Reserve Fund. The City shall deposit
in the Debt Service Reserve Fund, from moneys held in the Debt
Service Reserve Fund for the Prior Bonds, on the date of issuance
of the Bonds, a sum at least equal to twenty percent (20%) of the
Average Annual Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds. Subject to
the payments required by Sections 5D and 5E hereof, except as
provided in Section 5G hereof, from and to the extent of any moneys
remaining in the Sewer Fund, there shall be credited as hereinafter
provided and from time to time thereafter to the Debt Service
Reserve Fund moneys sufficient to accumulate in and maintain the
Debt Service Reserve Fund at an amount at least equal to the
Combined Average Annual Debt Service Requirements of all
Outstanding Bonds, Additional Parity Bonds and other Parity
Securities for which the Debt Service Reserve Fund is maintained.
Said amount shall be maintained as a continuing reserve for the
payment of the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds, any
Additional Parity Bonds and any other Parity Securities for which
the Debt Service Reserve Fund is maintained. The amount, if any,
by which the Average Annual Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds
18
exceed the sum held in the Debt Service Reserve Fund on the date of
issuance of the Bonds shall be accumulated by depositing such
difference to the Debt Service Reserve Fund in forty-eight (48)
approximately equal monthly installments commencing on the first
day of the month next succeeding the date of issuance of the Bonds
and payable on the first day of each month thereafter until the
required accumulation has been made in full. For purposes of this
Section 5F, 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 the lesser of 11% per annum or
the maximum rate, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond
counsel, consistent with maintaining the exemption of interest on
the Bonds from federal income taxes, 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 or mandatory redemption dates. No payment need be
made into the Debt Service Reserve Fund so long as the moneys
therein shall equal not less than said amount. In the event that
the amount of the Debt Service Reserve Fund falls below the minimum
amount required to be maintained therein, the City shall credit to
the Debt Service Reserve Fund that sum of money needed to
accumulate or reaccumulate the amount therein so that at all times
the amount of the Debt Service Reserve Fund equals said minimum
amount. The moneys in the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall be set
aside, accumulated, and, if necessary, reaccumulated as provided
herein, from time to time, and maintained as a continuing reserve
to be used, except as hereinafter provided in this Section 5F and
in Sections 5G and 9 hereof, only to prevent deficiencies in the
Principal and Interest Fund resulting from failure to deposit
therein sufficient sums to pay such Debt Service Requirements of
the Bonds, any Additional Parity Bonds and any other Parity
Securities for which the Debt Service Reserve Fund is maintained as
the same become due.
If at any time the City shall for any reason fail to pay
into the Principal and Interest Fund the full amount above
stipulated, then an amount shall be paid into the Principal and
Interest Fund at such time from the Debt Service Reserve Fund equal
to the difference between that paid from the Net Pledged Revenues
in the Sewer Fund and the full amount so stipulated. The money so
used shall be replaced to the Debt Service Reserve Fund from the
first moneys credited to the Sewer Fund thereafter received and not
required to be otherwise applied by Sections 5D and 5E hereof. If
19
Additional Parity Bonds are Outstanding and a separate reserve fund
or account is maintained therefor, then the moneys replaced in the
Debt Service Reserve Fund and such separate reserve fund or account
shall be replaced on a pro rata basis, as moneys become available
therefor.
If at any time the City shall for any reason fail to pay
into the Debt Service Reserve Fund the full amount stipulated
herein from the moneys credited to the Sewer Fund, 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
Sewer Fund thereafter received and not required to be applied
otherwise by Sections 5D and 5E 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 first be approved in writing by the Bond Insurer
and shall be submitted to Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and
Standard & Poor's Corporation and shall not cause the then-current
ratings of the Bonds to be adversely affected.
After the delivery of the Reserve Fund Policy, all cash
and Permitted Investments held in the Debt Service Reserve Fund
shall be transferred to the Principal and Interest Fund.
Thereafter, any Policy Costs incurred by the City shall be paid by
the City to the Bond Insurer as provided in the Policy Agreement.
The obligation of the City make such payments shall have the same
priority as its obligation to make payments to and replenishments
of the Debt Service Reserve Fund as provided in this Section 5F.
The Reserve Fund Policy shall be held in the custody of the Paying
Agent. The Paying Agent shall prior to each Interest Payment Date
ascertain whether a claim must be made on the Reserve Fund Policy.
If such a claim must be made, the Paying Agent shall provide notice
to the Bond Insurer in accordance with the terms of the Reserve
Fund Policy at least two (2) days prior to the Interest Payment
Date. If and to the extent that cash or Permitted Investments are
deposited in the Debt Service Reserve Fund after the delivery of
the Reserve Fund Policy, all such cash shall be used, and all such
Permitted Investments shall be sold and the proceeds thereof shall
be applied, for the purposes of the Debt Service Reserve Fund
before the Paying Agent may make a claim on the Reserve Fund
Policy, and payment of any Policy costs incurred by the City shall
be paid by the City to the Bond Insurer before any such cash or
Permitted Investments are replenished to the Debt Service Reserve
Fund. If any additional undertakings described herein are
20
delivered to the City, any claims against the Reserve Fund Policy
and such additional undertaking shall be made in the manner
specified herein on a pro rate basis (calculated with reference to
the maximum amounts available thereunder) , and any payments of
Policy Costs or costs incurred by the City under any such
additional undertaking shall be made in the manner specified herein
on a pro rate basis (calculated as provided above) .
G. Termination of Deposits. No payment need be made
into the Principal and Interest Fund or the Debt Service Reserve
Fund if the amount of cash and Permitted Investments in the
Principal and Interest Fund and the in the Debt Service
Reserve Fund `-teem is at least equal to the entire amount of
the Outstanding Bonds and any Outstanding Additional Parity Bonds
and Parity Securities, as to all Debt Service Requirements, to
their respective maturity dates or to any 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 5G, there shall be deemed to
be a credit to the Debt Service Reserve Fund moneys. Federal

Permitted Investments in the Principal and Interest Fund and the
Debt Service Reserve Fund 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 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, and any me - -9 thereof- In the Prinelpal and interest-
Fund and the -Dp--N*-: Geykvipp Reserve Fund and any ether faeneys derived
may be used in any lawful manner determined by the Gity.
H. Payment of Additional Subordinate Securities. After
there has been deposited to the Principal and Interest Fund an
amount sufficient to pay all the Debt Service Requirements due or
to become 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
Fund and other payments required by section 5F hereof to be made in
the current Bond Year have been made, any moneys remaining in the
Sewer Fund in any Bond Year may be used by the City for the payment
21
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.
After the payments required by Sections SE and 5F hereof
and those required above in this Section SH for the current Bond
Year have been made, all Net Pledged Revenues not exceeding the
lesser of $2,900,000 and the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds
due in the next succeeding Bond Year shall be transferred to the
Principal and Interest Fund and used for the purposes thereof in
the next succeeding Bond Year.
Section 7. Priorities: Liens; Issuance of Additional
Bonds.
A. First Lien on Net Pledged Revenues; Eauality of
Bonds. Except as expressly provided in this Ordinance with respect
to Additional Parity Bonds, 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 (including any Policy Costs incurred by
the City) .
The Bonds (including any Policy Costs incurred by the
City) constitute an irrevocable and first lien (but not necessarily
an exclusive first lien) upon the Net Pledged Revenues (provided,
however, that the City shall not pay any Policy Costs unless all
the payments then due under Sections 5D and 5E hereof have been
made) .
The Bonds, any Additional Parity Bonds and any other
Parity Securities hereafter authorized to be 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, subject to 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
22
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:
(2) Historic Revenues Tests. Except as hereinafter
provided 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,
(a) Ass certified by the Consulting Engineer
for the Improvement, the Net Pledged Revenues for any
consecutive twelve (12) month period during the preceding
twenty-four (24) months 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 plus the estimated Average Annual Debt Service
Requirements of any Additional Parity Bonds expected to
be needed to complete the Improvement plus at least one
hundred percent (100%) of all Policy Costs scheduled for
payment under the Policy Agreement during said period.
If any adjustment in rates, fees, tolls or charges or tap
fees or plant investment fees, or any combination
thereof, for the direct or indirect connection with, or
use of, the Sewerage Facilities is made by the City
during such twelve (12) month period, the Consulting
Engineer 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 twelve (12) month period; and
(b) Ass certified by the Consulting Engineer
for the Improvement, the Net Pledged Revenues
(considering as Income for the purpose of this Section
7B(2) (b) only revenues derived from the imposition of
rates, fees, tolls and charges, including supplemental
user fees, for service rendered) for any consecutive
twelve (12) month period during the preceding twenty-four
(24) months must have been equal to at least one hundred
percent (100%) 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 plus the
estimated Average Annual Debt Service Requirements of any
Additional Parity Bonds expected to be needed to complete
the Improvement plus at least one hundred percent (100%)
of all Policy Costs scheduled for payment under the
Policy Agreement during said period. If any adjustment
23
in rates, fees, tolls or charges, including supplemental
user fees, for service rendered is made by the City
during such twelve (12) month period, the Consulting
Engineer shall adjust the calculation of the Net Pledged
Revenues as herein modified to reflect the amount thereof
that would have been received if such adjustment had been
in effect throughout such twelve (12) month period.
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 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 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
Parity Securities Outstanding prior to the issuance of such
Additional Parity Bonds on such Interest Payment Dates.
(4) Consent of the Bond Insurer. No Additional
Parity Bonds may be issued without the prior written consent
of the Bond Insurer if the City is delinquent in the payment
of any Policy Costs due under the Policy Agreement.
24
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. The City shall prescribe, revise,
and collect rates, fees, tolls, and charges and tap fees and plant
investment fees, or any combination thereof, which may be imposed
by the City whether for the direct or indirect connection with or
the use of the Sewerage Facilities and reasonable penalties for any
delinquencies, which shall produce Income sufficient, together with
any other moneys legally available therefor and credited to the
Sewer Fund, to make the payments and accumulations required by this
Ordinance, and which shall produce Net Pledged Revenues in each
Fiscal Year sufficient, together with all other moneys legally
available therefor and credited to the Sewer Fund after payment of
Operation and Maintenance Expenses, to pay an amount at least equal
to 125% of the Combined Average Annual Debt Service Requirements of
the Outstanding Bonds and every other issue of Outstanding
Additional Parity Bonds and Outstanding Parity Securities plus any
amounts required to meet then existing deficiencies pertaining to
any fund relating to the Net Pledged Revenues or any securities
payable therefrom plus at least one hundred percent (100%) of all
Policy Costs scheduled for payment under the Policy Agreement in
such Fiscal Year. 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 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 or mandatory
redemption dates.
25
In the event that such rates, fees, tolls, and charges
and tap fees and plant investment fees at any time should not be
sufficient to make all of the payments and accumulations required
by this Ordinance, the Council shall increase its rates, fees,
tolls, and charges and tap fees and plant investment fees to such
extent as to insure the payments and accumulations required by the
provisions of this Ordinance.
P. Use of Principal and Interest and Debt Service
Reserve Funds. The Principal and Interest Fund and the Debt
Service Reserve Fund shall be used solely and only, and the moneys
credited to such funds are hereby pledged, for the purpose of
paying the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds, Additional
Parity Bonds and any other Parity Securities (including Policy
Costs) at maturity, e* upon prior redemption or otherwise, subject
to Section 9 hereof.
Section 9 . Defeasance.
When all Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds have been
duly paid and all Policy Costs incurred by the City have been 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 of the Bonds 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 : ield 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 at their maturity date or upon any
Redemption Date as of which the City shall have exercised or shall
have obligated itself to exercise its option to call Bonds for
prior redemption. The Federal Securities shall be non-callable and
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. Any Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds paid by the
Bond Insurer shall not be deemed paid pursuant to this Ordinance
until paid by the City in accordance herewith. Nothing herein
shall be construed to prohibit a partial defeasance of the
Outstanding Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 9.
26
Section 10. Default Provisions and Remedies of Bond
Owners.
B. Remedies for Defaults. Upon the happening and
continuance of any Event of Default, provided that the Bond Insurer
has made all payments of principal and interest on the Bonds as
required by the Bond Insurance Policy, the Bond Insurer, acting
alone, shall have the right to direct all remedies against the City
with respect to the Bonds, and no such remedies shall be exercised
without the consent of the Bond Insurer. Subject to the foregoing,
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, 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other applicable provision of
law, no Event of Default shall result in acceleration of any
obligation of the City represented by the Bonds. Upon a failure of
the City to reimburse the Bond Insurer for any Policy Costs
incurred by the City, the Bond Insurer shall be entitled to
exercise any and all remedies available at law or hereunder other
than remedies which might adversely affect the Owners of the Bonds.
Section 11. Amendment of Ordinance.
A. Amendment of Ordinance Not Requiring Consent of Bond
Owners and Bond Insurer. Except as hereinafter provided, Tthe City
may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Owners of the Bonds
or the Bond Insurer, adopt such ordinances supplemental hereto
27
(which amendments shall thereafter form a part hereof) for any one
or more or all of the following purposes:
(1) To cure or correct any formal defect, ambiguity
or inconsistent provision contained in this Ordinance;
(2) To appoint successors to the Paying Agent,
Registrar, Transfer Agent or Escrow Bank;
(3) To designate a trustee for the Owners of the
Bonds, to transfer custody and control of the Income to such

herein;
(5) To pledge additional revenues, properties or
collateral to the payment of the Bonds;

Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended from time to time; or
(7) To effect any such other changes hereto which
do not in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel
materially adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the
Bonds.
After the delivery of the Reserve Fund Policy, this Ordinance shall
not be amended pursuant to Section 11A(7)without the prior written
consent of the Bond Insurer (as issuer of the Reserve Fund Policy) .
Section 12 . Miscellaneous.
D. Delegated Duties. The officers of the City are
hereby authorized and directed to enter into such agreements and
take all action necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
provisions of this Ordinance and to comply with the requirements of
law, including, without limitation:
