sufficient amount in the Principal and Interest Account and the Reserve Account to pay the
principal of and interest on the Outstanding Parity Bonds, the Bonds and any Future Parity
Bonds to the final maturity thereof, at which time no further payments need be made into the
Bond Fund. The City may at any time substitute an Alternate Security in lieu of all or any part
of the cash deposit in the amount of the required reserve in the Reserve Account.
If there shall be a deficiency in the Principal and Interest Account to meet maturing
installments of either principal of or interest on bonds payable from the Bond Fund, such
deficiency shall be made up from the Reserve Account by the withdrawal of cash therefrom for
that purpose. Any deficiency created in the Reserve Account by reason of any such withdrawal
then shall be made up from the gross revenue of the Waterworks Utility which shall be first
available after required payments into the Principal and Interest Account.
The Reserve Account may be accumulated from any other money of the City available
therefor in addition to the gross revenue of the Waterworks Utility.
All money in the Reserve Account may be kept on deposit in the official bank depository
of the City or may be invested and reinvested in Permitted Investments at a fixed price and
maturing no later than one month prior to the final maturity date of the last outstanding bonds
payable out of the Bond Fund. In no event shall any money in the Bond Fund or any other
money reasonably expected to be used to pay principal of and /or interest on the Bonds be
invested in other than Permitted Investments or at a yield which would cause the Bonds to be
arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. If the required reserve is
deposited in the Reserve Account, interest earned on any such investment or on such bank
deposit in the Reserve Account attributable to the Bonds or Future Parity Bonds shall be
deposited into the Principal and Interest Account and used to pay the next interest or principal
coming due on bonds payable from the Bond Fund.
If the City fails to set aside and pay into the Bond Fund the amounts above set forth, the
owner of any of the outstanding bonds payable out of the Bond Fund may bring action against
the City to compel such setting aside and payment.
Section 11. Pledge of Gross Revenue and Lien Position. The gross revenue of the
Waterworks Utility is pledged to the payments required by this ordinance, and the Bonds
constitute a charge and lien upon the gross revenue of the Waterworks Utility prior and superior
to all other charges of any kind or nature, excluding charges for operation and maintenance,
except that the charge and lien on the gross revenue of the Waterworks Utility for the Bonds
shall be on a parity with the charge and lien thereon for the Outstanding Parity Bonds and any
Future Parity Bonds.
Section 12. Form and Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be printed or lithographed
on good bond paper in a form consistent with the provisions of this ordinance and state law and
shall be signed by the Mayor and City Clerk, either or both of whose signatures may be manual

2. It will at all times maintain and keep the Waterworks Utility in good repair,
working order and condition, and will at all times operate such Waterworks Utility and the
business in connection therewith in an efficient manner and at a reasonable cost.

any time outstanding, and it will not sell, lease, mortgage or in any manner encumber or dispose
of any part of the property of the Waterworks Utility that is used, useful and material to the
operation thereof, unless provision is made for the replacement thereof, or for payment into the
Bond Fund of the total amount of gross revenues received, which shall not be less than an
amount which shall bear the same ratio to the amount of outstanding bonds payable out of the
Bond Fund as the revenue of the Waterworks Utility available for debt service for such
outstanding bonds for the twelve months preceding such sale, lease, encumbrance or disposal
from the portion of the Waterworks Utility sold, leased, encumbered or disposed of bears to the
revenues available for debt service for such bonds from the entire Waterworks Utility for the
same period. Any such money so paid into the Bond Fund shall be used to retire such

accounts and records in which complete and separate entries shall be made of all transactions
relating to the Waterworks Utility, and it will furnish the original purchaser of the bonds or any

insurance on all or such portions of such utility on which such war risk insurance may be written
in an amount or amounts to cover adequately the value thereof.
7. It will pay all costs of operation and maintenance of the Waterworks Utility and
the debt service requirements for the Outstanding Parity Bonds and otherwise meet the
obligations of the City as herein set forth.
8. It will take all actions necessary to prevent the interest on the Bonds from being
included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, and it will neither take any actions nor
make or permit any use of proceeds of the Bonds or other funds of the Waterworks Utility
treated as proceeds of the Bonds at any time during the term of the Bonds which will cause the
interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
The City further covenants that it has not been notified of any listing or proposed listing by
the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it is a bond issuer whose arbitrage certifications
may not be relied upon.
Section 15. Small Governmental Issuer Arbitrage Rebate Exception and Designation
of Bonds as "Qualified Tax Exempt Obligations." The City finds and declares that (a) it is a
duly organized and existing governmental unit of the state of Washington and has general taxing
power; (b) no Bond which is part of this issue of Bonds is a "private activity bond" within the
meaning of Section 141 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code (c) at least 95% of the net proceeds of the Bonds will be used for local governmental
activities of the City (or of a governmental unit the jurisdiction of which is entirely within the
jurisdiction of the City); (d) the aggregate face amount of all tax exempt obligations (other than
private activity bonds and other obligations not required to be included in such calculation)
issued by the City and all entities subordinate to the City (including any entity that the City
controls, that derives its authority to issue tax exempt obligations from the City, or that issues
tax exempt obligations on behalf of the City) during the calendar year in which the Bonds are
issued is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000; and (e) the amount of tax exempt
obligations, including the Bonds, designated by the City as "qualified tax exempt obligations"
for the purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code during the calendar year in which the Bonds
are issued does not exceed $10,000,000. The City therefore certifies that the Bonds are eligible
for the arbitrage rebate exception under Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code and designates the
Bonds as "qualified tax exempt obligations" for the purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
Section 16. Parity Provisions. The City covenants and agrees with the owner of each
Bond payable from the Bond Fund at that time outstanding that it will not issue any Future Parity
Bonds unless it shall first satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 19 of Ordinance No. 1676,
which section is by reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof and shall be applicable
to the Bonds so long as any of the same are outstanding. Nothing herein contained shall prevent
the City from issuing water and sewer revenue bonds or other obligations which are a charge
upon the gross revenue of the Waterworks Utility junior or inferior to the payments required to
be made therefrom into the Bond Fund for the payment of the Outstanding Parity Bonds, the
Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds.
Section 17. Refunding or Defeasance of Bonds. The City may issue refunding bonds
pursuant to the laws of the state of Washington or use money available from any other lawful
source to pay when due or callable the principal of and interest on the Bonds, or any portion
thereof included in a refunding or defeasance plan, and to redeem and retire, refund or defease all
such then outstanding Bonds (hereinafter collectively called the "defeased Bonds and to pay
the costs of the refunding or defeasance. If money and /or direct obligations of the United States
of America maturing at a time or times and bearing interest in amounts (together with money, if
necessary) sufficient to redeem and retire, refund or defease the defeased Bonds in accordance
with their terms are set aside in a special trust fund or escrow account irrevocably pledged to that
redemption, retirement or defeasance of defeased Bonds (hereinafter called the "trust account

then all right and interest of the owners of the defeased Bonds in the covenants of this ordinance
and in the funds and accounts obligated to the payment of the defeased Bonds shall cease and
become void. The owners of defeased Bonds shall have the right to receive payment of the
principal of and interest on the defeased Bonds from the trust account. The City shall include in
the refunding or defeasance plan such provisions as the City deems necessary for the random
selection of any defeased Bonds that constitute less than all of a particular maturity of the Bonds,
for notice of the defeasance to be given to the owners of the defeased Bonds and to such other
persons as the City shall determine, and for any required replacement of Bond certificates for
defeased Bonds. The defeased Bonds shall be deemed no longer outstanding, and the City may
apply any money in any other fund or account established for the payment or redemption of the
defeased Bonds to any lawful purposes as it shall determine.
If the Bonds are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, notice of any defeasance of
Bonds shall be given to DTC in the manner prescribed in the Letter of Representations for
notices of redemption of Bonds.
Section 18. Deposit of Bond Proceeds. The principal proceeds received from the sale
and delivery of the Bonds shall be paid into the appropriate funds and accounts of the

needed to pay the costs of the Plan of Additions and costs of issuance of the Bonds, the City may
invest principal proceeds temporarily in any legal investment, and the investment earnings may
be retained in the Construction Fund and be spent for the purposes of that fund except that
earnings subject to a federal tax or rebate requirement may be withdrawn from the Construction
Fund and used for those tax or rebate purposes.
Section 19. Approval of Bond Purchase Contract and Delivery of Bonds. The City
Council finds that entering into the Bond Purchase Contract with the Underwriter is in the City's
best interest and, therefore, approves and accepts the offer contained therein and authorizes its
execution and delivery by City officials.
The Bonds will be printed at City expense and will be delivered to the Purchaser in
accordance with the terms of the Bond Purchase Contract with the approving legal opinion of
Foster Pepper PLLC, municipal bond counsel of Seattle, Washington, regarding the Bonds.
The proper City officials are authorized and directed to do everything necessary for the
