and sanitary sewage disposal, combined pursuant to RCW 35.67.320, and any

purpose of carrying out a system or plan of additions to and betterments and extension
of the Waterworks Utility, and reserved the right to (1) redeem the 2006 Bonds maturing
on December 1, 2026, prior to their stated maturity date at any time on or after

City), at par plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, and (2) defease the
2006 Bonds.

obligations of the City under the 2006 Bond Ordinance.

of a portion of the proceeds of the Bond and other money of the City.

the Bond to pay part of the cost of carrying out the Refunding Plan.

authenticated, issued and delivered and, when authenticated, issued and delivered,

PM:bjs Page 8 of 21
126
subaccounts in the Bond Fund, including a principal and interest account and one or
more reserve accounts, as may be convenient for the payment of the Parity Bonds, so

rights of the Registered Owners. The City shall set aside and pay into the Bond Fund
all ULID Assessments and Tax Credit Subsidy Payments upon their receipt and, out of
the Net Revenue, certain fixed amounts without regard to any proportion, namely, on or
prior to each date on which principal of or interest on the Parity Bonds is due, the
amount required, after taking into account the amount then on deposit therein and to be
used therefor, to pay such principal and interest on such date. When the amount on
deposit in the Bond Fund equals the principal of and interest on all Parity Bonds then

accordance with the Refunding Trust Agreement. Such obligations shall be discharged
fully by the Refunding Trustee's simultaneous purchase of the Acquired Obligations,

the amounts required to be paid by the Refunding Plan. The Acquired Obligations shall
be listed and more particularly described in a schedule attached to the Refunding Trust

principal of the Bond so prepaid shall cease to accrue on the prepayment date.
Section 11. Failure To Pay Bond. If any principal of the Bond is not paid when
due, the City shall be obligated to pay interest on such principal at the Default Rate
indicated on Exhibit A from and after the date such principal payment is due until such

all Tax Credit Subsidy Payments and all money and investments held in the Bond Fund

the Bond Fund (other than money held in any reserve account created to secure the
payment of Future Parity Bonds) on a parity with the pledge that secures payment of

Fund (other than money held in any reserve account created to secure the payment of
Future Parity Bonds). The Bond shall not be a general obligation of the City. This

(a) Operation and Maintenance. The City will at all times maintain, preserve and
keep the properties of the Waterworks Utility in good repair, working order and

market value" means the most probable price that a property should bring in a
competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the willing
buyer and willing seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably and assuming that the
price is not affected by coercion or undue stimulus.
In the case of a transfer under paragraph (3): (A) the proceeds of the transfer shall be

fiscal year in which the transfer is to occur, taking into account (i) the reduction in Gross
Revenue resulting from the transfer; (ii) the use of any proceeds of the transfer for the
redemption of Parity Bonds, (iii) the Independent Consultant's estimate of Gross
Revenue allocable to customers anticipated to be served by any additions to and

secures payment of the Parity Bonds and all payments required to be made into the
Bond Fund, and will pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, any and all
lawful claims for labor, materials or supplies which, if unpaid, might become a lien,
charge or other encumbrance on the Net Revenue, ULID Assessments or Tax Credit
Subsidy Payments or any part thereof, prior or superior to, or on a parity with, the lien
and charge that secures payment of the Parity Bonds and all payments required to be
made into the Bond Fund, or that might materially adversely affect the security of the
Registered Owners.
(e) Books and Accounts. The City will keep proper books, records and accounts
with respect to the operations, income and expenditures of the Waterworks Utility in
accordance with generally accepted accounting practices relating to municipal utilities
and any applicable rules and regulations prescribed by the State, and will cause those

PM:bjs Page 14 of 21
133

any other Parity Bond Authorizing Ordinance, nor any event or condition which with
notice and /or the passage of time would constitute such a default, shall have occurred

W: Word Processing \Ordinances \Bonds related to water -sewer utility Columbia Bank 11 -25 -15
PM:bjs Page 16 of 21
135
Nothing contained herein shall prevent the City from issuing (i) Future Parity Bonds

available, or (ii) revenue obligations secured by a charge on the Net Revenue
subordinate to the charge that secures payment of the Parity Bonds and all payments
required to be made into the Bond Fund, and then only if the remedy of acceleration is
expressly denied to the owners of those subordinate bonds under all circumstances.
Section 18. Separate Utility Systems. The City may create, acquire, construct,
finance, own and operate one or more additional systems for water supply or
distribution, surface water or sewage collection, treatment or disposal or other utility
service or facilities. The revenue of that Separate Utility System shall not be included in
the Gross Revenue and may be pledged to the payment of revenue obligations issued
to purchase, construct, condemn or otherwise acquire or expand that Separate Utility
System. Neither the Gross Revenue nor the Net Revenue, ULID Assessments or Tax
Credit Subsidy Payments shall be pledged by the City to the payment of any obligations
of a Separate Utility System, except that the Net Revenue may be pledged on a basis
subordinate to the pledge that secures payment of the Parity Bonds and all payments
required to be made into the Bond Fund.

under a Contract Resource Obligation to provide that, all payments under the Contract
Resource Obligation (including payments prior to the time that the facilities,

Contract Resource Obligation is entered into:
(a) No default under this ordinance or any other Parity Bond Authorizing Ordinance
has occurred and is continuing.
(b) There shall be on file a certificate of an Independent Consultant stating that
(1) the payments to be made by the City in connection with the Contract Resource
Obligation are reasonable for the facilities, commodities or services to be provided; (2)
the facilities, commodities or services to be provided are sound from a supply or
transmission planning standpoint, are technically and economically feasible in
accordance with prudent utility practice and are likely to provide supply or transmission
no later than a date to be set forth in the certificate; and (3) the Coverage Requirement
(as estimated by the Independent Consultant in accordance with the provisions of and
adjustments permitted in Section 17 of this ordinance) will be satisfied in each of the five
fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the Contract Resource Obligation is
incurred.
W: Word Processing \Ordinances \Bonds related to water -sewer utility Columbia Bank 11 -25 -15
PM:bjs Page 17 of 21
136
Payments required to be made under a Contract Resource Obligation shall not be
subject to acceleration under any circumstances. Nothing in this Section shall be
deemed to prevent the City from entering into other agreements for the acquisition of
facilities for water supply or distribution or surface water or sewage collection, treatment
or disposal or other utility service or other commodities or services relating to the
Waterworks Utility and from treating those payments as Operation and Maintenance
Expenses or from securing payments with respect thereto by a charge on Net Revenue

due the principal of and interest on any portion of the Bond (the "defeased portion ");
(b) prepaying the defeased portion prior to maturity; and (c) paying the costs of the
refunding or defeasance. If the City sets aside in a trust fund or escrow account
irrevocably pledged to that prepayment or defeasance (the "trust account "), money
and /or Government Obligations maturing at a time or times and bearing interest in
amounts sufficient to redeem, refund or defease the defeased portion in accordance
with the terms of this ordinance and the Bond, then all right and interest of the
Registered Owner in the covenants of this ordinance and in the funds and accounts
obligated to the payment of the defeased portion shall cease and become void.
Thereafter, the Registered Owner shall have the right to receive payment of the
principal of and interest on the defeased portion solely from the trust account and the
defeased portion shall be deemed no longer outstanding.
Section 29. Sale and Delivery of the Bond.
(a) Approval of Bank Proposal; Delivery of Bond. The Bank has presented the
Bank Proposal to the City proposing to purchase the Bond, which written Bank Proposal

offer with substantially the same terms as the Bank Proposal. The Designated
Representative is authorized to execute the Bank Proposal on behalf of the City, so long
as the terms provided therein are consistent with the terms of this ordinance.

prepared at City expense and will be delivered to the Bank in accordance with the Bank
Proposal, together with the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel regarding the
