WHEREAS, the City of Kent, Washington (the "City"), operates

WHEREAS, the City combined its storm and surface water utility
with its sanitary sewage collection and disposal system and its
garbage and refuse collection and disposal system, the combined
0075443.03
system to be referred to as the "system of sewerage," by Ordinance
No. 2547, passed on April 1, 1985; and
WHEREAS, by Ordinance No. 2665, passed on October 20, 1986,
the City removed its garbage and refuse collection and disposal
system from its system of sewerage; and
WHEREAS, the City by Ordinance No. 2547 adopted the "City of
Kent Surface Drainage Utility Master Plan," dated February 20,
1985, and by Resolution No. 1313 passed on May 5, 1992, adopted a

to and betterments of the storm and surface water utility
(collectively, the "Drainage Master Plan"), and by such Resolution
No. 1313 ordered the carrying out of portions of the Drainage
Master Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City has heretofore issued under date of
November 1, 1986, pursuant to Ordinance No. 2666, its Sewerage
System Revenue Bonds, 1986 (the 111986 Bonds"), in the principal
amount of $4,600,000, to provide the funds necessary to carry out
a portion of the Drainage Master Plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 of Ordinance
No. 2666, the City covenanted and agreed that it would not issue
any Future Parity Bonds (as therein defined) except upon compliance
with the following conditions:
"(a) At the time of the issuance of such Future
Parity Bonds, there shall be no deficiency in the Bond
Fund.
"(b) The ordinance providing for the issuance of
such Future Parity Bonds shall provide that all
assessments and interest thereon, except for prepaid
assessments used to pay costs of improvements, which may
0075443.03
-2-
be levied in any ULID hereafter created for the purpose
of paying, in whole or in part, the principal of and
interest on such Future Parity Bonds, shall be paid
directly into the Bond Fund.
"(c) The ordinance authorizing the issuance of such
Future Parity Bonds shall provide for the payment of
sinking fund requirements into the Bond Fund for any Term
Bonds to be issued and for regular payments to be made
for the payment of the principal of such Term Bonds on or
before their maturity, or, as an alternative, the
mandatory redemption of such Term Bonds prior to their
maturity date from money in the Principal and Interest
Account and Assessment Account.
"(d) The ordinance authorizing the issuance of any
Future Parity Bonds shall provide for the payment of the
principal of and interest thereon out of the Bond Fund.
"(e) The ordinance providing for the issuance of
such Future Parity Bonds shall provide for the payment of
an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement for those
Future Parity Bonds into the Reserve Account in the Bond
Fund from the Future Parity Bond proceeds and, to the
extent such Reserve Requirement is not funded from Future
Parity Bond proceeds, then from money in the Reserve
Account in excess of the Reserve Requirement of all bonds
then payable from the Bond Fund and from the Net Revenue
of the Sewerage System in sixty approximately equal
monthly payments. The requirement of this subsection is
subject to the City's right to fund all or a portion of
the Reserve Requirement with a Reserve Account
Instrument. In the event such Future Parity Bonds are
issued for the purpose of refunding outstanding Bonds
and/or Future Parity Bonds, the amount of such reserve
allocated to such bonds being so refunded shall be
retained or used as a reserve for such refunding Future
Parity Bonds or used to retire outstanding Bonds or
outstanding Future Parity Bonds pursuant to the refunding
plan, which reserve amount shall be replaced in the same
manner and within the same time as required for
additional Future Parity Bonds, or such reserve may
remain in the Reserve Account to be used as the reserve
for remaining bonds payable from the Bond Fund.
11(f) At the time of the issuance of such Future
Parity Bonds, the City shall have on file a certificate
from an independent, licensed professional engineer
experienced in the design, construction and operation of
municipal utilities, or a certified public accountant,
stating that in his or her professional opinion the Net
Revenue of the Sewerage System for any twelve consecutive
calendar months out of the immediately preceding
twenty-four calendar months, together with the projected
0075443.03
-3-
collections of ULID Assessments, shall be equal to the
Coverage Requirement for each year thereafter. However,
if Future Parity Bonds proposed to be so issued are for
the sole purpose of refunding outstanding bonds payable
from the Bond Fund, such certification of coverage shall
not be required if the Annual Debt Service in each year
for the refunding bonds is not increased over the amount
required for the bonds to be refunded thereby and the
maturities of those refunding bonds are not extended
beyond the maturities of the bonds to be refunded
thereby.
"The engineer's or accountant's certificate, in
estimating the Net Revenue of the Sewerage System
available for debt service, shall use the historical Net
Revenue of the Sewerage System for any twelve consecutive
months out of the twenty-four months immediately
preceding the month of delivery of the Future Parity
Bonds. Such Net Revenue may be adjusted to reflect:
"(1) Any changes in rates in effect and being
charged or expressly committed by ordinance of the
City Council to be made in the future;
11(2) Income derived from customers of the
Sewerage System that have become customers during
the twelve consecutive month period or thereafter
adjusted to reflect one year's net revenue from
such customers;
11(3) Revenues from any customers to be
connected to the Sewerage System who have paid the
required connection charges;
'1(4) The revenue to be deposited in the
Revenue Fund which is derived from any person,
firm, corporation or municipal corporation under
any executed contract for Sewerage System service,
which revenue was not included in the historical
Net Revenue of the Sewerage System; and
11(5) The engineer's or accountant's estimate
of the Net Revenue to be derived by the City from
customers with improved property available to
connect to any additions to and improvements and
extensions of the Sewerage System to be paid for
out of the proceeds of the sale of the additional
Future Parity Bonds or other additions to and
improvements and extensions of the Sewerage System
then under construction and not fully connected to
the facilities of the Sewerage System when such
additions, improvements and extensions are
completed.

"Actual or reasonably anticipated changes in the
Operating and Maintenance Expenses subsequent to such
twelve-month period shall be added or deducted, as is
applicable.
"The engineer's or accountant's certificate required
by this subparagraph (f) in setting forth the estimate of
ULID Assessments for ULID improvements being financed by
the proposed Future Parity Bonds shall be computed in
accordance with the following formula:
"(i) The amount of the ULID Assessments paid
within the 30 -day period permitted by law for the
payment of ULID Assessments without penalty or
interest shall be applied in the year of payment,
or, if that 30 -day period has not elapsed, 15% of
each total assessment roll shall be applied for the
year in which it is anticipated such prepayment
period will end as the estimated amount of the ULID
Assessments that will be paid within such 30 -day
period.
,,(ii) 10% of the balance of each such
assessment roll shall then be deducted for
estimated nonpayment of ULID Assessments.
"(iii) The balance remaining after the
deductions provided in subparagraphs (i) and (ii)
immediately above shall then be divided by the
number of years in which installments of such ULID
Assessments may be paid without becoming
delinquent, and there shall be added to each year
the interest that will be collected on such
installments.
"In computing the installments of ULID Assessments
previously levied that will be collected each year, the
following formula shall be used:
11(i) All delinquent ULID Assessments or
installments shall be deducted from each assessment
roll.
"(ii) The balance remaining after the
deductions provided in subparagraph (i) immediately
above shall then be divided by the number of years
in which installments of such ULID Assessments may
be paid without being delinquent and there shall be
added to each year the interest that will be
collected on such installments.
"No engineer's or accountant's certificate provided for
in this paragraph (f) shall be required in connection
with the issuance of a ULID Assessment Bond issue if the
0075443.03
-5-
amount of bonds proposed to be issued does not exceed the
ULID Assessments levied in support of such ULID
Assessment Bond Issue by more than $5, 000 plus any amount
of the proceeds of such bonds deposited in the Reserve
Account as capitalized reserve."
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Ordinance No. 2666, the City reserved the
right and option to redeem the 1986 Bonds maturing on or after
November 1, 1997, on November 1, 1996, and on any interest payment
date thereafter, at par plus accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption; and

1997 through 2001, inclusive, and in 2006, and bearing interest at
various rates from 7.00% to 7.40% (the "Refunded Bonds"); and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the
Refunded Bonds may be refunded by the issuance and sale of the
revenue bonds authorized herein (the "Bonds") so that a substantial
savings will be effected by the difference between the principal
and interest costs over the life of the Bonds and the principal and
interest costs over the life of the Refunded Bonds but for such
refunding, which refunding will be effected by
(a) The issuance of the Bonds;
(b) The payment of the interest on the Refunded
Bonds when due up to and including November 1, 1996, and,
on November 1, 1996, the call, payment and redemption of
all the outstanding Refunded Bonds at a price of par;
and
WHEREAS, to effect that refunding in the manner that will be
most advantageous to the City and its ratepayers, the City Council
finds it necessary and advisable that certain acquired obligations
0075443.03
(hereinafter defined) bearing interest and maturing at the time or
times necessary to accomplish the refunding as aforesaid be
purchased out of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is in the
City's best interest to issue and sell approximately $4,790,000 of
sewerage system revenue bonds to provide a portion of the funds
necessary to carry out various storm drainage and flood control
capital projects within the Drainage Master Plan, including but not
limited to construction of stormwater detention facilities,
construction of outfall treatment facilities and upgrading of a
stormwater pump station (the "Improvements"); and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is in the
City's best interest to prepay the sewerage system's assessment
within Local Improvement District ("LID") No. 330 of the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is necessary
to issue and sell $8,690,000 par value of Bonds to provide the
funds necessary to carry out the Improvements, to prepay the LID
No. 330 assessment, to refund the Refunded Bonds and to pay the
costs of the refunding and the issuance and sale of the Bonds; and
WHEREAS, AMBAC Indemnity Corporation, a Wisconsin -domiciled
stock insurance company ("AMBAC") (the "Bond Insurer"), has made a
commitment to issue an insurance policy (the "Municipal Bond
Insurance Policy") relative to the Bonds effective as of the date
of issuance of the Bonds, and the City Council deems that the

The new money and refunding portions of the Bonds are allocated to
the various maturities of the Bonds as set forth in Exhibit B
attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein. Such
allocation shall be applicable proportionately to each Bond within
a particular maturity of the Bonds, or may hereafter be allocated
by the City within a particular maturity in $5,000 increments of
Bonds selected by lot.
Section 4. Registration and Transfer of Bonds. The Bonds
shall be issued only in registered form as to both principal and
interest and recorded on the Bond Register. The Bond Register
shall contain the name and mailing address of the owner of each
Bond and the principal amount and number of each of the Bonds held
by each owner.
Bonds surrendered to the Bond Registrar may be exchanged for
Bonds in any authorized denomination of an equal aggregate
principal amount and of the same interest rate and maturity. Bonds
may be transferred only if endorsed in the manner provided thereon
and surrendered to the Bond Registrar. Any exchange or transfer
shall be without cost to the owner or transferee. The Bond
Registrar shall not be obligated to exchange or transfer any Bond
during the 15 days preceding any principal payment date.
Section 5. Payment of Bonds. Both principal of and interest
on the Bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States
0075443.03
-19-
of America. Interest on the Bonds shall be paid by checks or
drafts of the Bond Registrar mailed on the interest payment date to
the registered owners at the addresses appearing on the Bond
Register on the 15th day of the month preceding the interest
payment date or, if requested in writing by a registered owner of
$1,000,000 or more in principal amount of Bonds at least 10 days
before an interest payment date, by wire transfer on the interest
payment date. Principal of the Bonds shall be payable upon
presentation and surrender of the Bonds by the registered owners at
either of the principal offices of the Bond Registrar at the option
of the owners. The Bonds shall be payable solely out of the Bond
Fund and shall not be general obligations of the City.
Section 6. Optional and Mandatory Redemption and Open Market
Purchase of Bonds. Bonds maturing in the years 1993 through 2003,
inclusive, shall be issued without the right or option of the City
to redeem the same prior to their stated maturity dates. The City
reserves the right and option to redeem the Bonds maturing on and
after November 1, 2004, as a whole, or in part from maturities
selected by the City (and by lot within a maturity in such manner
as the Bond Registrar shall determine), on November 1, 2003, and on
any interest payment date thereafter, at par plus accrued interest
to the date of redemption.
Bonds maturing in 2013 are Term Bonds and, if not redeemed
under the optional redemption provisions set forth above or
purchased in the open market under the provisions set forth below,
shall be called for redemption by lot (in such manner as the Bond
0075443.03
-20-
Registrar shall determine) at par plus accrued interest on
November 1 in years and amounts as follows:
Mandatory Mandatory
Redemption Redemption
Years Amounts
2007 $275,000
2008 290,000
2009 305,000
2010 320,000
2011 340,000
2012 355,000
2013 (maturity) 375,000
In the event that the City shall redeem Term Bonds under the
optional redemption provisions set forth above or purchase Term
Bonds in the open market as set forth below, the Term Bonds so
redeemed or purchased (irrespective of their redemption or purchase
price) shall be credited at the par amount thereof against the next
mandatory redemption requirement for those Term Bonds which is at
least 60 days after the date of that redemption or purchase.
Portions of the principal amount of any Bond, in installments
of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, may be redeemed. If
less than all of the principal amount of any Bond is redeemed, upon
surrender of such Bond at the principal office of the Bond
Registrar, there shall be issued to the registered owner, without
charge therefor, a new Bond (or Bonds, at the option of the
registered owner) of like maturity and interest rate in any of the
denominations authorized by this ordinance in the aggregate total
principal amount remaining unredeemed.
The City further reserves the right and option to purchase any
or all of the Bonds in the open market at any time at any price,
plus accrued interest to the date of such purchase.
0075443.03
-21-
All Bonds purchased or redeemed under this section shall be
cancelled.
Section 7. Notice of Redemption. The City shall cause notice
of any intended redemption of Bonds to be given not less than 30
nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered owner of any
Bond to be redeemed at the address appearing on the Bond Register
at the time the Bond Registrar prepares the notice, and the
requirements of this sentence shall be deemed to have been
fulfilled when notice has been mailed as so provided, whether or
not it is actually received by the owner of any Bond. Interest on
Bonds called for redemption shall cease to accrue on the date fixed
for redemption unless the Bond or Bonds called are not redeemed
when presented pursuant to the call. In addition, the redemption
notice shall be mailed within the same period, postage prepaid, to
Moody's Investors Service, Inc., and Standard & Poor's Corporation
at their offices in New York, New York, or their successors, to
Lehman Brothers at its principal office in Seattle, Washington, or
its successor, to the Bond Insurer at its principal office in New
York, New York, or its successor, and to such other person and with
such additional information as the City Finance Director shall
determine, but these additional mailings shall not be a condition
precedent to the redemption of Bonds.
Section 8. Failure to Redeem Bonds. If any Bond is not
redeemed when properly presented at its maturity or call date, the
City shall be obligated to pay interest on that Bond at the same
rate provided in the Bond from and after its maturity or call date
0075443.03
-22-
until that Bond, both principal and interest, is paid in full or
until sufficient money for its payment in full is on deposit in the
Bond Fund and the Bond has been called for payment by giving notice
of that call to the registered owner of that unpaid Bond.
Section 9. Payments into Bond Fund. The Bond Fund was
created by Ordinance No. 2666 and has been divided into three
accounts, namely, a Principal and Interest Account, an Assessment
Account and a Reserve Account. So long as any Outstanding Parity
Bonds, Bonds or Future Parity Bonds are outstanding against the
Bond Fund, the City obligates and binds itself to set aside and pay
into the Bond Fund all ULID Assessments upon their collection and,
on or before the 20th day of each month, out of the Net Revenue of
the Sewerage System, in addition to the amounts required to be paid
and retained therein for the Outstanding Parity Bonds, certain
fixed amounts without regard to any fixed proportion, namely:
(a) Into the Principal and Interest Account,
beginning with the month of September, 1993, at least an
amount which, together with ULID Assessments and other
money on deposit therein, will equal 1/2 of the amount of
principal and interest to become due and payable on the
Bonds on November 1, 1993, and, commencing with the month
of November, 1993, and thereafter, at least an amount
which, together with ULID Assessments and other money on
deposit therein, will equal 1/6 of the next ensuing
requirements for interest and 1/12 of the principal to
become due and payable on the next principal payment date
on all of the Bonds then outstanding, on or before each
interest or principal and interest payment date of Future
Parity Bonds, at least an amount which, together with
ULID Assessments and other money on deposit therein, will
be sufficient to pay the interest or principal and
interest to become due and payable on Future Parity Bonds
outstanding on that next payment date, including any
Future Parity Bonds subject to mandatory redemption on
that date;
(b) Into the Assessment Account, all ULID
Assessments deposited into the Bond Fund in excess of the
amount of money deposited in the Principal and Interest
0075443.03
-23-
Account required to pay principal of and interest on
Outstanding Parity Bonds, Bonds and Future Parity Bonds,
and to be used for the purposes set forth below in this
section; and
(c) Into the Reserve Account, from the proceeds of
the Bonds and from money on deposit therein allocable to
the Refunded Bonds, an amount necessary to fund the
Reserve Requirement for the Bonds and, for Future Parity
Bonds, an amount necessary to fund the Reserve
Requirement within the time permitted by Ordinance No.
2666. For the Bonds, the Reserve Requirement shall be
fully funded by proceeds from the issuance and sale of
the Bonds and from money on deposit in the Reserve
Account allocable to the Refunded Bonds.
The City covenants and agrees that it will at all times
maintain in the Reserve Account an amount equal to the Reserve
Requirement, except for withdrawals therefrom as authorized herein,
at all times so long as any bonds payable from the Bond Fund are
outstanding. When the total amount in the Bond Fund shall equal
the total amount of principal and interest for all outstanding
bonds payable out of the Bond Fund to the last maturity thereof, no
further payment need be made into the Bond Fund.
In the event that there shall be a deficiency in the Principal
and Interest Account to meet maturing installments of either
principal or interest, as the case may be, to pay required
redemptions of the Outstanding Parity Bonds, Bonds or Future Parity
Bonds, or to meet sinking fund requirements, such deficiency shall
be made up from the Reserve Account by the withdrawal of cash
therefrom for that purpose to the extent such deficiency is not
made up from the Assessment Account. Any deficiency created in the
Reserve Account by reason of any such withdrawals shall then be
made up from the Net Revenue of the Sewerage System first available
after making necessary provisions for the required payments into
0075443.03
-24-
the Principal and Interest Account. The Reserve Requirement in the
Reserve Account shall otherwise be held intact and may be applied
against the last outstanding bonds payable out of the Bond Fund.
The City may provide for the purchase, redemption or
defeasance of bonds payable from the Bond Fund by the use of money
on deposit in any account in the Bond Fund as long as the money
remaining in those accounts is sufficient to satisfy the required
deposits in those accounts for the remaining bonds outstanding
payable from the Bond Fund.
Money in the Assessment Account shall be used with other
available money to pay and redeem outstanding Parity Bonds, Bonds
and Future Parity Bonds called for redemption prior to their
maturity, or, if insufficient money is deposited in the Principal
and Interest Account, then for deposit into that account to meet
the required payments therefrom.
All money in the Bond Fund may be kept in cash or invested in
Permitted Investments maturing not later than the date when the
funds are required for the payment of principal of or interest on
the outstanding bonds payable from the Bond Fund (for investments
in the Principal and Interest Account) or having a guaranteed
redemption price prior to maturity or maturing not later than
twelve years from the date of the investment and, in no event,
maturing later than the last maturity of any remaining outstanding
bonds payable from the Bond Fund, whichever is the lesser (for
investments in the Reserve Account). Income from investments in
the Principal and Interest Account shall be deposited in that
account. Income from investments in the Assessment Account shall
0075443.03
-25-
be deposited in the Assessment Account. Income from investments in
the Reserve Account shall be deposited in that account until the
amount therein is equal to the Reserve Requirements of all bonds
payable from the Bond Fund, and thereafter shall be deposited in
the Principal and Interest Account.
Notwithstanding the provisions for the deposit of earnings,
any earnings which are subject to a federal tax or rebate
requirement may be withdrawn from the Bond Fund for deposit into a
separate fund or account for that purpose.
In no event shall any money in the Bond Fund or any other
money reasonably expected to be used to pay principal of or
interest on the Bonds be invested at a yield which would cause the
Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148 of
the Code.
In addition, the City reserves the right to substitute for all
or for a portion of the Reserve Account a Reserve Account
Instrument which, when combined with any money or investments in
the Reserve Account, equals an amount not less than the Reserve
Requirement for all outstanding Outstanding Parity Bonds, Bonds and
Future Parity Bonds. The City covenants that, until the date that
the Bonds are no longer outstanding, any such substitution will be
subject to the prior approval by the Bond Insurer and any provider
of bond insurance for any then outstanding Future Parity Bonds and
written certificates from Moody's Investors Service, Inc., and
Standard & Poor's Corporation that such substitution will not
result in any change in the outstanding ratings of the Outstanding
0075443.03
-26-
Parity Bonds, the Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds and will not
impair the security thereof.
The City may create sinking fund accounts or other accounts in
the Bond Fund for the payment or securing the payment of bonds
payable from the Bond Fund as long as the maintenance of such
accounts does not conflict with the rights of the owners of bonds
payable from the Bond Fund.
If the City fails to set aside and pay into the Bond Fund the
amounts set forth above, the owner of any of the outstanding bonds
payable out of the Bond Fund may bring action against the City and
compel the setting aside and payment.
Section 10. Pledge of Revenue and Lien Position. The Gross
Revenue of the Sewerage System and ULID Assessments are pledged
irrevocably to the payments required by this ordinance, and the
Outstanding Parity Bonds, Bonds and Future Parity Bonds, if any,
shall constitute a charge or lien upon such Gross Revenue prior and
superior to any other charges whatsoever, except Operating and
Maintenance Expenses, and upon such ULID Assessments prior and
superior to any other charges whatsoever.
Section 11. Sufficiency of Gross Revenue. In the judgment of
the City Council, the Gross Revenue of the Sewerage System at the
rates to be charged for surface drainage and sewerage service will
be more than sufficient to meet all Operating and Maintenance
Expenses and debt service requirements on the Outstanding Parity
Bonds and to permit the setting aside into the Bond Fund out of the
Gross Revenue of the Sewerage System of amounts sufficient to pay
the interest on the Bonds as such interest becomes payable and to
0075443.03
-27-
pay and redeem all of the Bonds at maturity or earlier mandatory
redemption dates. The City Council and corporate authorities of
the City further declare that in fixing the amounts to be paid into
the Bond Fund as aforesaid they have exercised due regard for the
Operating and Maintenance Expenses, and the City has not bound and
obligated itself to set aside and pay into the Bond Fund a greater
amount or proportion of the Gross Revenue of the Sewerage System
than in the judgment of the City Council will be available over and
above such Operating and Maintenance Expenses and that no portion
of the Gross Revenue of the Sewerage System previously has been
pledged for any indebtedness other than the Outstanding 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, shall be
signed by the Mayor and City Clerk, either or both of whose
signatures shall be manual or facsimile, and the seal of the City
or a facsimile reproduction thereof shall be impressed or printed
thereon.
Only Bonds bearing a Certificate of Authentication in the
following form, manually signed by the Bond Registrar, shall be
valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the benefits of
this ordinance:

-28-
By
Bond Registrar
Authorized Signer
The authorized signing of a Certificate of Authentication shall be
conclusive evidence that the Bonds so authenticated have been duly
executed, authenticated and delivered and are entitled to the
benefits of this ordinance.
If any officer whose facsimile signature appears on the Bonds
ceases to be an officer of the City authorized to sign bonds before
the Bonds bearing his or her facsimile signature are authenticated
or delivered by the Bond Registrar or issued by the City, those
Bonds nevertheless may be authenticated, delivered and issued and,
when authenticated, issued and delivered, shall be as binding on
the City as though that person had continued to be an officer of
the City authorized to sign bonds. Any Bond also may be signed on
behalf of the City by any person who, on the actual date of signing
of the Bond, is an officer of the City authorized to sign bonds,
although he or she did not hold the required office on the date of
issuance of the Bonds.
Section 13. Bond Registrar. The Bond Registrar shall keep,
or cause to be kept, at its principal corporate trust office,
sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds
which shall be open to inspection by the City at all times. The
Bond Registrar is authorized, on behalf of the City, to
authenticate and deliver Bonds transferred or exchanged in
accordance with the provisions of the Bonds and this ordinance, to
serve as the City's paying agent for the Bonds and to carry out all
of the Bond Registrar's powers and duties under this ordinance and
0075443.03
-29-
City Ordinance No. 2418 establishing a system of registration for
the City's bonds and obligations.
The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its representa-
tions contained in the Bond Registrar's Certificate of
Authentication on the Bonds. The Bond Registrar may become the
owner of Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not
the Bond Registrar and, to the extent permitted by law, may act as
depository for and permit any of its officers or directors to act
as members of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any
committee formed to protect the rights of Bond owners.
Section 14. Construction Fund. The Construction Fund is
created in the office of the City Finance Director to be known as
the Sewerage System Construction Fund, 1993, into which fund shall
be deposited approximately $4,012,785.67 of principal proceeds of
the Bonds and out of which fund shall be paid the costs of carrying
out the Improvements. The City may use any money remaining in the
Construction Fund after the payment of all such costs to carry out
any other capital improvements to the Sewerage System. Bond
proceeds deposited in the Construction Fund may be invested
temporarily in any legal investment, and the investment earnings
may be retained in the Construction Fund and used for the purpose
of that fund.
Section 15. Disposition and Use of Bond Proceeds. The
accrued interest, if any, received from the sale of the Bonds shall
be paid into the Principal and Interest Account and used to pay
interest on the Bonds on their first interest payment date. An
amount of principal proceeds of the Bonds shall be deposited in the
0075443.03
-30-
Construction Fund in accordance with Section 14. $374,114 of
principal proceeds of the Bonds shall be deposited in the Local
Improvement Fund, District No. 330 of the City as prepayment of the
LID No. 330 Assessment. The remaining principal proceeds of the
Bonds shall be deposited and used in accordance with the provisions
of Section 16 of this ordinance.
Section 16. Refunding of the Refunded Bonds.
(a) Appointment of Refunding Trustee. West One Bank, Idaho,
N.A., is appointed the Refunding Trustee.
(b) Acquisition of Acquired Obligations. Immediately upon
the receipt of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, the City
shall deposit with the Refunding Trustee, together with other money
of the City, if necessary, an amount sufficient to discharge the
obligation of the City relating to the Refunded Bonds under
Ordinance No. 2666 by providing for the payment of the amounts
required to be paid by the Refunding Plan. To the extent
practicable, such obligations shall be discharged fully by the
Refunding Trustee's simultaneous purchase of the Acquired
Obligations, bearing such interest and maturing as to principal and
interest in such amounts and at such times so as to provide,
together with a beginning cash balance, if necessary, for the
payment of the amounts required to be paid by the Refunding Plan.
The Acquired Obligations are listed and more particularly described
in Schedule A attached to the Refunding Trust Agreement between the
City and the Refunding Trustee, but are subject to substitution as
set forth below.
0075443.03
-31-
(c) Substitution of Acauired Obligations. Prior to the
purchase of any such Acquired Obligations, the City reserves the
right to substitute other direct, noncallable Government
Obligations for any of the Acquired Obligations and to use any
savings created thereby for any lawful City purpose if, (a) in the
opinion of Foster Pepper & Shefelman, the City's bond counsel, the
interest on the Bonds will remain excluded from gross income for
federal income tax purposes under Sections 103, 148 and 149(d) of
the Code, and (b) such substitution shall not impair the timely
payment of the amounts required to be paid by the Refunding Plan,
so verified by a nationally recognized firm of certified public
accountants.
After the purchase of the Acquired Obligations by the
Refunding Trustee, the City reserves the right to substitute
therefor cash or Government Obligations subject to the conditions
that such money or securities held by the Refunding Trustee shall
be sufficient to carry out the Refunding Plan, that such
substitution will not cause the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within
the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and regulations thereunder
in effect on the date of such substitution and applicable to
obligations issued on the issue date of the Bonds, and that the
City obtain, at its expense: (1) verification by a nationally
recognized firm of certified public accountants acceptable to the
Refunding Trustee confirming that the payments of principal of and
interest on the substitute Acquired Obligations, if paid when due,
and any other money held by the Refunding Trustee will be
sufficient to carry out the Refunding Plan; and (2) an opinion from
0075443.03
-32-
Foster Pepper & Shefelman, bond counsel to the City, its successor,
or other nationally recognized bond counsel to the City, to the
effect that the disposition and substitution or purchase of such
securities, under the statutes, rules and regulations then in force
and applicable to the Bonds, will not cause the interest on the
Bonds or the Refunded Bonds to be included in gross income for
federal income tax purposes and that such disposition and
substitution or purchase is in compliance with the statutes and
regulations applicable to the Bonds. Any surplus money resulting
from the sale, transfer, other disposition or redemption of the
Acquired Obligations and the substitutions therefor shall be
released from the trust estate and transferred to the City to be
used for any lawful City purpose.
(d) Administration of Refunding Plan. The Refunding Trustee
is authorized and directed to purchase the Acquired Obligations (or
substitute obligations) and to make the payments required to be
made by the Refunding Plan from the Acquired Obligations (or
substitute obligations) and money deposited with the Refunding
Trustee pursuant to this ordinance. All Acquired Obligations (or
substitute obligations) and the money deposited with the Refunding
Trustee and any income therefrom shall be held irrevocably,
invested and applied in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance
No. 2666, this ordinance, Chapter 39.53 RCW and other applicable
statutes of the State of Washington, and the Refunding Trust
Agreement. All necessary and proper fees, compensation and
expenses of the Refunding Trustee for the Bonds and all other costs
incidental to establishing the escrow to accomplish the refunding
0075443.03
-33-
of the Refunded Bonds and costs related to the issuance and
delivery of the Bonds, including bond printing, rating service
fees, insurance premiums, verification fees, bond counsel's fees
and other related expenses, shall be paid out of the proceeds of
the Bonds.
(e) Authorization for Refunding Trust Agreement. To carry
out the Refunding Plan provided for by this ordinance, the Mayor or
Finance Director is authorized and directed to execute and deliver
to the Refunding Trustee a Refunding Trust Agreement substantially
in the form on file with the City Clerk and by this reference made
a part hereof, setting forth the duties, obligations and
responsibilities of the Refunding Trustee in connection with the
payment, redemption and retirement of the Refunded Bonds as
provided herein and stating that the provisions for payment of the
fees, compensation and expenses of the Refunding Trustee set forth
therein are satisfactory to it. Prior to executing the Refunding
Trust Agreement, the Mayor or Finance Director is authorized to
make changes therein that do not change the substance and purpose
thereof or which assure that the escrow provided therein and the
Bonds are in compliance with the requirements of federal law
governing the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income
for federal income tax purposes.
Section 17. Call for Redemption of the Refunded Bonds. The
City calls for redemption on November 1, 1996, all of the Refunded
Bonds at par plus accrued interest. Such call for redemption shall
be irrevocable after the delivery of the Bonds to the initial
purchaser thereof. The date on which the Refunded Bonds are called
0075443.03
-34-
for redemption is the earliest date on which those Refunded Bonds
may be called for redemption.
The proper City officials are authorized and directed to cause
the fiscal agencies to give such notice as required, at the times
and in the manner required by Ordinance No. 2666 to effect the
redemption prior to their maturities of the Refunded Bonds.
Section 18. City Findings with Respect to Refunding. The
City Council finds and determines that the issuance and sale of the
Bonds at this time will effect a savings to the City and its
ratepayers and is in the best interest of the City and in the
public interest. In making such finding and determination, the
City Council has given consideration to the fixed maturities of the
Bonds and the Refunded Bonds, the costs of issuance of the Bonds
and the known earned income from the investment of the proceeds of
the issuance and sale of the Bonds and other money of the City used
in the Refunding Plan pending payment and redemption of the
Refunded Bonds.
The City Council further finds and determines that the money
to be deposited with the Refunding Trustee for the Refunded Bonds
in accordance with Section 16 of this ordinance, together with
known earned income from the investments thereof, will be
sufficient to carry out the Refunding Plan and discharge and
satisfy the obligations of the City under Ordinance No. 2666 with
respect to the Refunded Bonds and the pledges, charges, trusts,
covenants and agreements of the City therein made or provided for
as to the Refunded Bonds and that the Refunded Bonds shall no
0075443.03
-35-
longer be deemed to be outstanding under such ordinance immediately
upon the deposit of such money with the Refunding Trustee.
Section 19. Covenants. The City covenants and agrees with
the owner of each Bond at any time outstanding, as follows:
(a) ULID Assessments. All ULID Assessments shall
be paid into the Bond Fund and may be used to pay the
principal of and interest on the Outstanding Parity
Bonds, Bonds and Future Parity Bonds without those
Assessments being particularly allocated to the payment
of the principal of and interest on any particular issue
of bonds. Nothing in this ordinance or this section
shall be construed to prohibit the City from issuing
sewerage revenue bonds having a subordinate lien to the
Outstanding Parity Bonds and the Bonds and pledging as
security for their payment assessments levied in any
ULIDs which may have been specifically created to pay
part of the cost of improvements to the Sewerage System
for which those subordinate lien bonds were specifically
issued.
(b) Rates and Charges. It will establish, maintain
and collect each year such rates and charges for drainage
and sewerage service (and for garbage and refuse
collection and disposal service should any system for
such service ever be combined with the Sewerage System)
and shall adjust such rates and charges from time to time
so that there will be made available for the payment of
the principal of and interest on the Outstanding Parity
Bonds, the Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds Net Revenue
of the Sewerage System, together with the collection of
ULID Assessments, in an amount equal to the Coverage
Requirement.
(c) Good Repair. It will at all times maintain and
keep the Sewerage System and all additions thereto and
betterments, replacements and extensions thereof in good
repair, working order and condition and also will at all
times operate the Sewerage System and the business in
connection therewith in an efficient manner and at a
reasonable cost.
(d) Limitation on Sale of Property. It will not
sell, lease, mortgage, or in any manner encumber or
dispose of all of the property of the Sewerage System
unless provision is made for payment into the Bond Fund
of an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and
interest on all Outstanding Parity Bonds, Bonds and
Future Parity Bonds at that time outstanding, and it will
not sell, lease, mortgage, or in any manner encumber or
dispose of any part of the property of the Sewerage
0075443.03
-36-
System that is used, useful and material to the operation
thereof, unless provision is made for replacement thereof
or for payment into the Bond Fund of the total amount of
revenue of the Sewerage System received, which shall not
be less than an amount which shall bear the same ratio to
the amount of outstanding Outstanding Parity Bonds, Bonds
and Future Parity Bonds as the Gross Revenue of the
Sewerage System available for debt service for those
outstanding bonds for the twelve months preceding such
sale, lease, mortgage, encumbrance or disposal from the
portion of the Sewerage System sold, leased, mortgaged,
encumbered or disposed of bears to the Gross Revenue of
the Sewerage System available for debt service for such
bonds from the entire Sewerage System for the same
period. Any money so paid into the Bond Fund shall be
used to retire all or part of such outstanding bonds not
later than the earliest par call date.
(e) Accounts and Records. It will, while any of
the Bonds remain outstanding, keep proper and separate
accounts and records in which complete and separate
entries shall be made of all transactions relating to its
Sewerage System and it will furnish to the owner or
owners thereof at the written request of such owner or
owners, complete operating and income statements of the
Sewerage System in reasonable detail covering any
calendar year not more than ninety days after the close
of such calendar year. It will grant any owner or owners
of at least twenty-five percent of the outstanding Bonds
the right at all reasonable times to inspect the Sewerage
System and all records, accounts and data of the City
relating thereto. Upon the request of any owner of any
of the Bonds, it will furnish to such owner a copy of the
most recently completed audit of the City's accounts by
the State Auditor of Washington, or such other audit as
is authorized by law in lieu thereof.
(f) No Free Service• Enforcement of Accounts and
ULID Assessments. It will not furnish any service of the
Sewerage System (or any garbage and refuse collection and
disposal service should any system for such service ever
be combined with the Sewerage System) to any customer
whatsoever free of charge, and it will promptly take
legal action to enforce the collection of all delinquent
accounts. In addition, if on the date specified by law
and in ordinances of the City in any year two
installments of any ULID Assessments have been delinquent
for more than one year, the City shall proceed with the
foreclosure of the delinquent assessments or delinquent
installments thereof in the manner required by law and
ordinances of the City.
(g) Self -Insurance and Insurance. It either will
at all times self -insure in such manner and to such
0075443.03
-37-
extent as the City shall determine to be necessary and
appropriate or, to the extent insurance coverage is
available at reasonable cost with responsible insurers,
will carry fire and such other forms of insurance on such
of the buildings, equipment, facilities and properties of
the Sewerage System as under good practice are ordinarily
carried on such buildings, equipment, facilities and
properties by utilities engaged in the operation of
drainage and sewerage systems to the full insurable value
thereof, and also will carry adequate public liability
insurance (and, until the date that the Nonrefunded 1986
Bonds are no longer outstanding, war risk insurance if
available at reasonable rates) at all times. The
premiums on such insurance policies are declared to be a
normal part of Operating and Maintenance Expenses.
(h) Payment of Obligations. It will pay all
Operating and Maintenance Expenses and the debt service
requirements for all outstanding Outstanding Parity
Bonds, Bonds and Future Parity Bonds and otherwise will
meet the obligations of the City as set forth in this
ordinance.
(i) Limitation on Substantial Reduction of Gross
Revenue. It will not change any rate or charge for
Sewerage System service as now established by the
existing rate ordinance or ordinances of the City that
will substantially reduce the annual Gross Revenue of the
Sewerage System below that which would have been obtained
before such change unless the City shall have on file a
certificate from a licensed professional engineer
experienced in the design, construction and operation of
municipal utilities, stating the rates and charges as so
changed will provide Gross Revenue of the Sewerage
System, together with ULID Assessments, sufficient to
comply with all the covenants and requirements of this
ordinance, including the Coverage Requirement.
(j) Preservation of Tax Exemption for Interest on
Bonds. It will take all actions necessary to prevent
interest on the Bonds from being included in gross income
for federal income tax purposes, and it will neither take
any action nor make or permit any use of proceeds of the
Bonds or other funds of the City treated as proceeds of
the Bonds at any time during the term of the Bonds which
will cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross
income for federal income tax purposes. The City also
covenants that it will, to the extent arbitrage rebate
requirements of Section 148 of the Code are applicable to
the Bonds, take all actions necessary to comply (or to be
treated as having complied) with those requirements in
connection with the Bonds, including the calculation and
payment of any penalties that the City has elected to pay
as an alternative to calculating rebatable arbitrage, and
0075443.03
-38-
the payment of any other penalties if required under
Section 148 of the Code to prevent interest on the Bonds
from being included in gross income for federal income
tax purposes.
The City further certifies 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 20. Future Parity Bonds. The City covenants and
agrees with the owner of each Bond at any time outstanding that it
will not issue any Future Parity Bonds unless it first shall
satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 12 of Ordinance No.
2666, 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 contained in the provisions for Future Parity Bonds
shall prevent the City from issuing revenue bonds having a
subordinate lien on the Gross Revenue of the Sewerage System or
from pledging the payment of assessments in any ULID (the
assessments in which are not pledged into the Bond Fund) into a
bond redemption fund or account created to pay and secure the
payment of the principal of and interest on such subordinate lien
bonds as long as such assessments are levied to pay part or all of
the cost of improvements being constructed out of the proceeds of
the sale of such subordinate lien bonds.
Section 21. Priority of Payments. All ULID Assessments shall
be paid into the Bond Fund as provided by Section 9. The Gross
Revenue of the Sewerage System, except for earnings in the Bond
Fund and funds other than the Revenue Fund, shall be credited to
0075443.03
-39-
the Revenue Fund of the City as it is collected. Such Fund shall
be held separate and apart from other funds and accounts of the
City. Money in the Revenue Fund shall be used for the following
purposes only and shall be applied in the following order of
priority:
(a) To pay the necessary Operating and Maintenance
Expenses;
(b) To make all required payments into the
Principal and Interest Account in the Bond Fund for all
bonds payable out of the Bond Fund, including all
payments required to be made for the payment of any Term
Bonds, including all mandatory redemption payments
required to be made;
(c) To make all required payments into the Reserve
Account and other accounts hereafter created in the Bond
Fund into which the Net Revenue of the Sewerage System is
to be deposited;
(d) To make all payments required to be made
pursuant to a reimbursement agreement in connection with
a Reserve Account Instrument, except that if there is not
sufficient money to make all payments under reimbursement
agreements the payments will be made on a pro rata basis;
(e) To make all required payments into the bond
redemption funds or reserve account for any junior lien
Sewerage System revenue bonds or short-term obligations
hereafter issued;
(f) To make necessary additions, betterments and
improvements and repairs to or extensions and
replacements of the Sewerage System, or for any other
proper purposes connected with the operation of the
Sewerage System for which such money may be lawfully
used; and
(g) To retire by redemption or to purchase in the
open market at a price not in excess of the redemption
price on the then or next applicable call date
outstanding Sewerage System revenue bonds or other
Sewerage System revenue obligations of the City then
outstanding.
The City may transfer from any funds or accounts of the City
legally available therefor, except bond redemption funds, refunding
0075443.03
-40-
escrow funds or defeasance funds, any money therein to meet the
required payments to be made into the Bond Fund.
Section 22. Bonds Negotiable. The Bonds shall be negotiable
instruments to the extent provided by RCW 62A.8-102 and 62A.8-105.
Section 23. Refunding or Defeasance of Bonds. The City may
issue refunding bonds pursuant to the laws of the State of
Washington and use money available from any other lawful source to
pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, or such portion
thereof included in a refunding or defeasance plan, as the same
become due and payable and to redeem and retire, release, refund or
defease all such then -outstanding Bonds (hereinafter collectively
called the "defeased Bonds") and to pay the costs of such refunding
or defeasance. In the event that money and/or Government
Obligations or other Permitted Investments sufficient in amount,
together with known earned income from the investments thereof, to
redeem and retire, release, refund or defease the defeased Bonds in
accordance with their terms, are set aside irrevocably in a special
fund for and pledged irrevocably to such redemption, retirement or
defeasance (hereinafter called the "trust account"), then all right
and interest of the owners of the defeased Bonds in the covenants
of this ordinance and, except as hereinafter provided, in the Gross
Revenue of the Sewerage System, ULID Assessments, funds and
accounts obligated to the payment of such defeased Bonds, other
than the right to receive the funds so set aside and pledged,
thereafter shall cease and become void. Such owners thereafter
shall have the right to receive payment of the principal of and
interest on the defeased Bonds from the trust account and, in the
0075443.03
-41-
event the funds in the trust account are not available for such
payment, shall have the residual right to receive payment of the
principal of and interest on the defeased Bonds from the Gross
Revenue of the Sewerage System and ULID Assessments without any
priority of lien or charge against that revenue, assessments or
covenants with respect thereto except to be paid therefrom.
After the establishing and full funding of such trust account,
the City then 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, subject only to the
rights of the owners of any other Bonds or bonds then outstanding.
In the event that the refunding plan provides that the
defeased Bonds or the refunding bonds to be issued be secured by
cash and/or Government Obligations or other Permitted Investments
pending the prior redemption of the defeased Bonds and if such
refunding plan also provides that certain cash and/or Government
Obligations or other Permitted Investments are pledged irrevocably
for the prior redemption of the defeased Bonds included in that
refunding plan, then only the debt service on the Bonds which are
not defeased Bonds and the refunding bonds, the payment of which is
not so secured by the refunding plan, shall be included in the
computation of the Coverage Requirement for the issuance of Future
Parity Bonds and the annual computation of coverage for determining
compliance with the rate covenants.
In the event that the principal of and/or interest due on the
Bonds is paid by the Bond Insurer pursuant to the Municipal Bond
Insurance Policy, the Bonds shall not be considered paid by the
0075443.03
-42-
City, and the covenants, agreements and other obligations of the
City to the registered owners of the Bonds shall continue to exist
and the Bond Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of the
registered owners.
Section 24. Approval of Bond Purchase Contract. Lehman
Brothers Inc. of Seattle, Washington, has presented a purchase
contract dated August 3, 1993 (the "Bond Purchase Contract"), to
the City offering to purchase the Bonds under the terms and
conditions provided in the Bond Purchase Contract, which written
Bond Purchase Contract is on file with the City Clerk and is
incorporated herein by this reference. The City Council finds that
entering into the Bond Purchase Contract is in the City's best
interest and therefore accepts the offer contained therein and
authorizes its execution by City officials.
The Bonds will be printed at City expense and will be
delivered to the purchaser in accordance with the Bond Purchase
Contract, with the approving legal opinion of Foster Pepper &
Shefelman, municipal bond counsel of Seattle, Washington, regarding
the Bonds printed on each Bond. Except as provided in the Bond
Purchase Contract, bond counsel shall not be required to review and
shall express no opinion concerning the completeness or accuracy of
any official statement, offering circular or other sales material
issued or used in connection with the Bonds, and bond counsel's
opinion shall so state.
The proper City officials are authorized and directed to do
everything necessary, including reviewing and executing the final
official statement, for the prompt delivery of the Bonds to the
0075443.03
-43-
purchaser and for the proper application and use of the proceeds of
the sale thereof.
Section 25. Preliminary Official Statement Deemed "Final".
The City Council has been provided with copies of a preliminary
official statement dated July 28, 1993 (the "Preliminary Official
Statement"), prepared in connection with the sale of the Bonds.
For the sole purpose of the purchaser's compliance with Securities
and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2 -12(b)(1), the City "deems final"
that Preliminary Official Statement as of its date, except for the
omission of information as to offering prices, interest rates,
selling compensation, aggregate principal amount, principal amount
per maturity, maturity dates, options of redemption, delivery
dates, ratings, and other terms of the Bonds dependent on such
matters.
Section 26. Temporary Bond. Pending the printing, execution
and delivery to the purchaser of the definitive Bonds, the City may
cause to be executed and delivered to such purchaser a single
temporary Bond in the total principal amount of the Bonds. Such
temporary Bond shall bear the same date of issuance, interest
rates, principal payment dates and terms and covenants as the
definitive Bonds, and shall be issued as a fully registered Bond in
the name of the purchaser, and shall be in a form acceptable to the
purchaser. The temporary Bond shall be exchanged for the
definitive Bonds as soon as they are printed, executed and
available for delivery.
Section 27. Bond Insurance. The City is authorized to
purchase from the Bond Insurer the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy
0075443.03
-44-
insuring the prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the
Bonds and agrees to the conditions for obtaining that policy,
including the payment of the premium therefor. Any notice required
to be given to the Bond Insurer shall be sent by certified or
registered mail to AMBAC Indemnity Corporation, One State Street
Plaza, New York, New York 10004.
While the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy is in effect, the
City or the Bond Registrar shall furnish to AMBAC:
(a) As soon as practicable after the filing thereof,
copies of any financial statements, audits and annual reports of
the City;
(b) copies of any notices given to the registered owners
of the Bonds, including, without limitation, notices of any
defeasance of Bonds, and any certificate rendered pursuant to this
ordinance relating to the security for the Bonds; and
(c) such additional information AMBAC may reasonably
request.
The Bond Registrar shall notify the Bond Insurer of any
failure of the City to provide relevant notices and certificates.
The City will permit the Bond Insurer to discuss the affairs,
finances and accounts of the City or any information the Bond
Insurer may reasonably request regarding the security for the Bonds
with appropriate officers of the City. The Bond Registrar and the
City will permit the Bond Insurer to have access to and make copies
of all books and records relating to the Bonds at any reasonable
time.
0075443.03
-45-
The Bond Insurer shall have the right to direct an accounting
at the City's expense, and the City's failure to comply with such
direction within 30 days after receipt of written notice of the
direction from the Bond Insurer shall be deemed a default hereunder
unless compliance cannot occur within such period. In that event
and only if an extension would not materially adversely affect the
interest of any registered owner of the Bonds, that 30 -day period
will be extended so long as compliance is begun within that period
and diligently pursued.
Section 28. Payment Procedures Under Bond Insurance. The
Bond Insurer requires that the following sections be included in
this ordinance:
"(a) At least one (1) day prior to all Interest
Payment Dates the Trustee or Paying Agent, if any, will
determine whether there will be sufficient funds in the
Funds and Accounts to pay the principal of or interest on
the Bonds on such Interest Payment Date. If the Trustee
or Paying Agent, if any, determines that there will be
insufficient funds in such Funds or Accounts, the Trustee
or Paying Agent, if any, shall so notify AMBAC Indemnity.
Such notice shall specify the amount of the anticipated
deficiency, the Bonds to which such deficiency is
applicable and whether such Bonds will be deficient as to
principal or interest, or both. If the Trustee or Paying
Agent, if any, has not so notified AMBAC Indemnity at
least one (1) day prior to an Interest Payment Date,
AMBAC Indemnity will make payments of principal or
interest due on the Bonds on or before the first (1st)
day next following the date on which AMBAC Indemnity
shall have received notice of nonpayment from the Trustee
or Paying Agent, if any.
"(b) the Trustee or Paying Agent, if any, shall,
after giving notice to AMBAC Indemnity as provided in (a)
above, make available to AMBAC Indemnity and, at AMBAC
Indemnity's direction, to the United States Trust Company
of New York, as insurance trustee (the "Insurance
Trustee"), the registration books of the Issuer
maintained by the Trustee or Paying Agent, if any, and
all records relating to the Funds and Accounts maintained
under this ordinance.
0075443.03
-46-
"(c) the Trustee or Paying Agent, if any, shall
provide AMBAC Indemnity and the Insurance Trustee with a
list of registered owners of Bonds entitled to receive
principal or interest payments from AMBAC Indemnity under
the terms of the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy, and
shall make arrangements with the Insurance Trustee (i) to
mail checks or drafts to the registered owners of Bonds
entitled to receive full or partial interest payments
from AMBAC Indemnity and (ii) to pay principal upon Bonds
surrendered to the Insurance Trustee by the registered
owners of Bonds entitled to receive full or partial
principal payments from AMBAC Indemnity.
"(d) the Trustee or Paying Agent, if any, shall, at
the time it provides notice to AMBAC Indemnity pursuant
to (a) above, notify registered owners of Bonds entitled
to receive the payment of principal or interest thereon
from AMBAC Indemnity (i) as to the fact of such
entitlement, (ii) that AMBAC Indemnity will remit to them
all or a part of the interest payments next coming due
upon proof of Bondholder entitlement to interest payments
and delivery to the Insurance Trustee, in form
satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee, of an appropriate
assignment of the registered owner's right to payment,
(iii) that should they be entitled to receive full
payment of principal from AMBAC Indemnity, they must
surrender their Bonds (along with an appropriate
instrument of assignment in form satisfactory to the
Insurance Trustee to permit ownership of such Bonds to be
registered in the name of AMBAC Indemnity) for payment to
the Insurance Trustee, and not the Trustee or Paying
Agent, if any, and (iv) that should they be entitled to
receive partial payment of principal from AMBAC
Indemnity, they must first surrender their Bonds for
payment thereon first to the Trustee or Paying Agent, if
any, who shall note on such Bonds the portion of the
principal paid by the Trustee or Paying Agent, if any,
and the, along with an appropriate instrument of
assignment in form satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee,
to the Insurance Trustee, which will then pay the unpaid
portion of principal.
"(e) in the event that the Trustee or Paying Agent,
if any, has notice that any payment of principal of or
interest on a Bond which has become Due for Payment and
which is made to a Bondholder by or on behalf of the
Issuer has been deemed a preferential transfer and
theretofore recovered from its registered owner pursuant
to the United States Bankruptcy Code by a trustee in
bankruptcy in accordance with the final, nonappealable
order of a court having competent jurisdiction, the
Trustee or Paying Agent, if any, shall, at the time AMBAC
Indemnity is notified pursuant to (a) above, notify all
registered owners that in the event that any registered
0075443.03
-47-
owner's payment is so recovered, such registered owner
will be entitled to payment from AMBAC Indemnity to the
extent of such recovery if sufficient funds are not
otherwise available, and the Trustee or Paying Agent, if
any, shall furnish to AMBAC Indemnity its records
evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on
the Bonds which have been made by the Trustee or Paying
Agent, if any, and subsequently recovered from registered
owners and the dates on which such payments were made.
"(f) in addition to those rights granted AMBAC
Indemnity under this ordinance, AMBAC Indemnity shall, to
the extent it makes payment of principal of or interest
on Bonds, become subrogated to the rights of the
recipients of such payments in accordance with the terms
of the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy, and to evidence
such subrogation (i) in the case of subrogation as to
claims for past due interest, the Trustee or Paying
Agent, if any, shall note AMBAC Indemnity's rights as
subrogee on the registration books of the Issuer
maintained by the Trustee or Paying Agent, if any, upon
receipt from AMBAC Indemnity of proof of the payment of
interest thereon to the registered owners of the Bonds,
and (ii) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past
due principal, the Trustee or Paying Agent, if any, shall
note AMBAC Indemnity's rights as subrogee on the
registration books of the Issuer maintained by the
Trustee or Paying Agent, if any, upon surrender of the
Bonds by the registered owners thereof together with the
proof of the payment of principal thereof."
