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, on, or the
mandatory redemption requirements of, any bonds payable out of
the Bond Fund, such deficiency shall be made up from the Reserve
Account by withdrawal of cash therefrom for that purpose. Any
deficiency created in the Reserve Account by reason of any such
withdrawals shall then be made up from the money from the
revenues of the Water System first available after making
- 15 -
necessary provisions for the required payments into the Princi-
pal and Interest Account.
All money in the Reserve Account may be kept in cash or
deposited in institutions permitted by law in an amount in each
institution not greater than the amount insured by any depart-
ment or agency of the United States Government, or may be
invested in any of the following investments, or in other legal
investments permitted to the City and approved by the Bond
Insurer, having a guaranteed redemption price prior to maturity
or maturing not later than twelve years from the date of pur-

Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or AA or better
by Standard & Poor's Corporation; or
(ii) is the lead bank of a parent holding

earned on any such investment or on such bank deposit shall
accrue to the Principal and Interest Account.
In no event shall any money in the Bond Fund or any other
money reasonably expected to be used to pay principal and/or
interest on the Bonds be invested at a yield which would cause
the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section
103(c) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
amended, and applicable regulations thereunder.

Section 6. The gross revenues of the Water System of the
City are pledged to the payments as are required by this
ordinance, and the Bonds shall constitute a charge or lien upon
such revenues prior and superior to any other charges whatso-
ever, excluding charges for operation and maintenance, except
that the charge or lien upon such gross revenues for the Bonds
shall be on a parity with the charge or lien upon such gross
revenues for the Outstanding Parity Bonds and for any Future
Parity Bonds.
Section 7. In the judgment of the City Council the gross
revenues and benefits to be derived from the operation and
maintenance of the Water System at the rates to be charged for
water furnished on the entire utility will be more than suffi-
cient to meet all expenses of operation and maintenance thereof
and the debt service on the Outstanding Parity Bonds, and to
permit the setting aside into the Bond Fund out of the gross
revenues of the Water System of amounts sufficient to pay the
Interest on the Bonds as such interest becomes payable and to
pay and redeem all of the Bonds at maturity or on their manda-
tory redemption dates. The City Council and corporate authori-
ties of the City further declare that in creating the Bond Fund
and in fixing the amounts to be paid into the same as aforesaid
they have exercised due regard for the cost of operation and
maintenance of the Water System and the debt service require-
ments of the presently outstanding bonds above referred to, 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
revenues of the Water System than in the judgment of the City
Council will be available over and above such costs of operation
and maintenance and debt service and mandatory redemption
requirements of such outstanding bonds and that no portion of
the gross revenues of the Water System have been previously
pledged for any indebtedness other than the outstanding bond
issues above referred to.
Section 8. The accrued interest received from the pur-
chaser of the Bonds shall be deposited in the Bond Fund. The
City shall use the proceeds of the Bonds immediately upon their
receipt to discharge the obligations of the City under Ordinance
No. 2382 authorizing the issuance of the 1982 Bonds by provid-
ing for the payment of the principal of and interest on the
1982 Bonds as the same shall become due up to and including
December 1, 1992, and, on December 1, 1992, for the call,
payment and redemption of all of the outstanding 1982 Bonds
maturing on December 1 of each the years 1993 through 2002,
inclusive, at a price of 102% of par. The City shall discharge
fully such obligations by the purchase of the Acquired Obliga-
tions, bearing such interest and maturing as to principal and
interest in such amounts and at such times so as to provide,
together with the beginning cash balance, for such payments.
The Acquired Obligations are more particularly described and are
set forth in Schedule A attached to the Refunding Trust Agree-
ment, but are subject to substitution as set forth below.
The Acquired Obligations and a beginning cash balance of
$78.14 (which amount may be increased or decreased as required
when the exact purchase price of the Acquired Obligations is
ascertained) shall be deposited irrevocably with the Refunding
Trustee. The City reserves the right to substitute other
Government Obligations for any of the Acquired Obligations and
to use any savings created thereby for any lawful Water System
purpose if the City has obtained at its expense: (1) an
independent verification by a nationally recognized independent
certified public accounting firm acceptable to the Refunding
Trustee concerning the adequacy of such substituted securities
with respect to the principal of and the interest thereon and
- 19 -
any other money or securities held for such purpose to pay the
principal and interest on the outstanding 1982 Bonds, whether at
maturity or upon the redemption thereof; and (2) an opinion of
Roberts & Shefelman, the City's bond counsel, the interest on
the Bonds will remain exempt from federal income taxation under
Section 103(c) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of
1954, as amended. and applicable regulations thereunder, and if
such substitution shall not impair the timely payment of the
principal of or interest on the 1982 Bonds or the call, payment
and redemption of the 1982 Bonds on December 1, 1992.
Section 9. The City calls for redemption on December 1,
1992, all of the outstanding 1982 Bonds maturing on December 1
of each of the years 1993 through 2002, inclusive, at a price of
102% of par, plus accrued interest to the date of such redemp-
tion. Such call for redemption shall be irrevocable after the
delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser thereof.
The City Treasurer and the Refunding Trustee are authorized
and directed to give notice of the redemption of the 1982 Bonds
in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No. 2382.
The Refunding Trustee is authorized and directed to pay the
principal of and interest on the 1982 Bonds as the same shall
become due in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No.
2382 and the 1982 Bonds from the Acquired Obligations and money
deposited with the Refunding Trustee pursuant to Section 8 of
this ordinance. All Acquired Obligations and the beginning cash
balance deposited with the Refunding Trustee and any income
therefrom shall be held, invested and applied in accordance with
the provisions of Ordinance No. 2382, this ordinance, Chapter
39.53 RCW and other applicable statutes of the State of
Washington.
All necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of
the Refunding Trustee for the 1982 Bonds and all other costs
- 20 -
incidental to the establishment of the escrow to accomplish the
refunding of the 1982 Bonds and costs related to the issuance
and delivery of the Bonds including bond printing, rating
service fees, bond insurance premium, bond counsel's fees and
other related expenses shall be paid out of the proceeds of the
Bonds.
The Mayor and City Clerk are directed to obtain from the
Refunding Trustee the Refunding Trust Agreement setting forth
the duties, obligations and responsibilities of the Refunding
Trustee in connection with the payment, redemption and retire-
ment of the 1982 Bonds as provided herein and stating that such
provisions for the payment of the fees, compensation and
expenses of such Refunding Trustee are satisfactory to it.
In order to carry out the purposes of the preceding section
of this ordinance the Mayor and City Clerk are authorized and
directed to execute the Refunding Trust Agreement.
Section 10. The City covenants and agrees with the owner
and holder of each Bond at any time outstanding, as follows:
(a) It will establish, maintain and collect
such rates and charges for water service (and for
sanitary sewage disposal service should the sanitary
sewerage system of the City ever be combined with the
Water System) so long as any Bonds are outstanding as
will make available (1) for the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Outstanding Parity
Bonds, the Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds as the
same shall become due an amount equal to at least
1.35 times the average annual amount required for the
payment of all principal of and interest on such
bonds, for mandatory sinking fund payments, and for
mandatory bond redemptions prior to maturity,
exclusive of the principal requirement in any Term
Bond Maturity Year (unless the ordinance authorizing
the issuance of any such bonds requires that the rate
coverage obligation apply to the principal amount in
a Term Bond Maturity Year), after necessary costs of
operation and maintenance of the Water System shall
have been paid, but before depreciation, until the
outstanding 1970 Bonds are paid and retired on
December 1, 1985, and (2) thereafter for the payment
of the principal of and interest on the Outstanding
Parity Bonds, the Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds
an amount equivalent to at least 1.35 times the
average annual amount required for the payment of all
-- 21 -
principal of and interest on such bonds, for manda-
tory sinking fund payments, and for mandatory bond
redemptions prior to maturity, exclusive of the
principal requirement in any Term Bond Maturity Year
(unless the ordinance authorizing the issuance of any
such bonds requires that the rate coverage obligation
apply to the principal amount in a Term Bond Maturity
Year), after necessary costs of operation and
maintenance of the Water System shall have been paid,
but before depreciation.
(b) It will at all times maintain and keep the
Water System and all additions thereto and better-
ments, replacements and extensions thereof in good
repair, working order and condition and also will at
all times operate the Water System and the business
in connection therewith in an efficient manner and at
a reasonable cost.
(c) It will not sell, lease, mortgage, or in
any manner encumber or dispose of all of the property
of the Water System unless provision is made for
payment into the Bond Fund of a sum sufficient to pay
the principal of and interest on all bonds payable
from the Bond Fund 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 Water System unless provision is made for
replacement thereof or for payment into the Bond Fund
of the total amount of revenue received, which shall
not be less than an amount which shall bear the same
ratio to the amount of outstanding bonds payable from
the Bond Fund as the revenue 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 Water
System sold, leased, mortgaged, encumbered or
disposed of bears to the revenue available for debt
service for such bonds from the entire Water System
for the same period. Any money so paid into the Bond
Fund shall be used to retire such outstanding bonds
at the earliest possible date.
(d) 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 Water
System and it will furnish the original purchaser or
purchasers of the Bonds or any subsequent owner or
owners thereof at the written request of such owner
or owners, complete operating and income statements
of the Water 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 Water 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 such owner a copy of the most recently
completed audit of the City's accounts by the State
Auditor of Washington.
- 22 -
(e) It will not furnish any water (or any
sanitary sewage disposal service should the sanitary
sewerage system ever be combined with the Water
System) to any customer whatsoever free of charge,
and it will promptly take legal action to enforce the
collection of all delinquent accounts.
(f) It will carry the types of insurance on its
Water System properties in the amounts normally
carried by private water companies engaged in the
operation of water systems, and the cost of such
insurance shall be considered a part of operating and
maintaining the Water System. If, as, and when the
United States of America or some agency thereof shall
provide for war risk insurance, the City further
agrees to take out and maintain such insurance on all
or such portions of the Water System on which such
war risk insurance may be written in an amount or
amounts to cover adequately the value thereof.
(g) It will pay all costs of operation and
maintenance of the Water System and the debt service
requirements for the Outstanding Parity Bonds, the
Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds and otherwise meet
the obligations of the City as herein set forth.
(h) It will not take or permit to be taken on
its behalf any action which would adversely affect
the exemption from federal income taxation of the
interest on the Bonds and will take or require to be
taken such acts as may reasonably be within its
ability and as may from time to time be required
under applicable law to continue the exemption from
federal income taxation of the interest on the Bonds.
It has not been notified of any listing or
proposed listing by the Internal Revenue Service to
the effect that the City is a bond issuer whose
arbitrage certifications may not be relied upon.
Section 11. 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 9 of Ordinance
No. 1178, as amended by Section 10 of Ordinance No. 2118, which
sections are 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 this section shall prevent the City
from issuing revenue bonds or warrants, the payment of the
principal of and interest on which is a charge upon the gross
revenues of the Water System junior and inferior to the payments
- 23 -
required to be made out of such gross revenues into the Bond
Fund.
Section 12. The gross revenues from the operation of the
Water System shall be allocated as follows:
(a) To pay the necessary costs of operation and
maintenance of the Water System;
(b) To make all required payments into the Bond
Fund in amounts sufficient to pay principal and
interest as the same shall become due on all bonds
payable out of the Bond Fund;
(c) To make all payments required to be made
into the Reserve Account in the Bond Fund;
(d) To make all payments required to be made
into the bond redemption funds for any junior lien
water revenue bonds hereafter issued;

and improvements and repairs to or extensions and

proper purposes connected with the operation of the
Water System for which such money may be lawfully
used; and
(f) To retire by redemption or purchase water
revenue bonds of the City outstanding as authorized
in various bond ordinances of the City.

WASHINGTON STATE FISCAL AGENCY
Bond Registrar
By
Authorized Officer
Such Certificate of Authentication shall be conclusive evidence
that the Bonds so authenticated have been duly executed,
authenticated and delivered hereunder and are entitled to the
benefits of this ordinance.
In case either or both of the officers who shall have
executed the Bonds shall cease to be such officer or officers of
the City before the Bonds so signed shall have been authenti-
cated or delivered by the Bond Registrar or issued by the City,
such Bonds nevertheless may be authenticated, delivered and
issued and upon such authentication, delivery and issue, shall
be as binding upon the City as though those whose facsimile
signatures appear on the Bonds had continued to be such officers
of the City. Any Bond also may be signed on behalf of the City
by such persons as at the actual date of execution of such Bond
shall be proper officers of the City authorized to execute Bonds
although on the original date of such Bond such persons were not
such officers of the City.
Section 14. 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 at
all times be open to inspection by the City.
The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its
representations 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 a member of, or in any other capacity with respect to,
any committee formed to protect the rights of Bond owners.
- 25 -
Upon the occurrence of an event of default which requires
the Bond Insurer to make payments under the Bond Insurance
Policy, the Bond Insurer shall be provided with access to the
registration books of the City maintained by the Bond Registrar.
Section 15. The Bonds shall be negotiable instruments to
the extent provided by RCW 62A.8-102 and 62A.8-105.
Section 16. In the event the City shall issue advance
refunding bonds pursuant to the laws of the State of Washington,
or have money available from any other lawful source, to pay the
principal of and interest on the Bonds or such portion thereof
included in that refunding plan as the same become due and
payable and to refund all such then outstanding Bonds and to pay
the costs of refunding, and shall have set aside irrevocably in
a special fund for and pledged to such payment and refunding,
money and/or Government Obligations or other legal investments
sufficient in amount, together with known earned income from the
investments thereof, to make such payments and to accomplish the
refunding as scheduled (hereinafter called the "trust account"),
and irrevocably shall make provision for redemption of such
Bonds, then in that case all right and interest of the owners of
the Bonds to be so retired or refunded (hereinafter collectively
called the "defeased Bonds") in the covenants of this ordinance,
in the gross revenues of the Water System and in funds and
accounts obligated to the payment of such Bonds, other than the
right to receive the funds so set aside and pledged, thereupon
shall cease and become void, except such owners shall have the
right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the
defeased Bonds from the trust account and, in the 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
revenues of the Water System without any priority of lien or
- 26 -
charge against such revenue 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 then
outstanding.
In the event that the refunding plan provides that the
Bonds being refunded or the refunding bonds to be issued be
secured by cash and/or Government Obligations or other legal
investments pending the prior redemption of those Bonds being
refunded and if such refunding plan also provides that certain
cash and/or Government Obligations or other legal investments
are pledged irrevocably for the prior redemption of those 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 coverage for the
issuance of Future Parity Bonds and the annual computation of
coverage for determining compliance with the rate covenants.
Amounts paid by the Bond Insurer under its Bond Insurance
Policy shall not be deemed paid pursuant to this section and
shall continue to be due and owing hereunder until paid by the
City in accordance with this ordinance.
Section 17. The Bond Insurer has offered to insure the
payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds in accordance
with the Bond Insurance Policy it has offered to the City and
for an aggregate premium of $96,231.83. The City Council has
been advised by the purchaser of the Bonds that the amount of
the premium it will be required to pay for the Bond Insurance
Policy is less than the present value of the difference between
- 27 -
the yield the Bonds will bear if they are not insured and the
yield they will bear if they are insured. Accordingly, the City
Council finds that the purchase from the Bond Insurer of the
Bond Insurance Policy insuring the payment of principal of and
interest on the Bonds pursuant to the terms of the Bond Insur-
ance Policy. for a premium of $96,056.27 plus $175.56 (to be
paid by the purchaser of the Bonds), is in the City's best
interest and therefore authorizes and directs the purchase of
the Bond Insurance Policy and the execution of all documents
necessary to accomplish that purchase.
To comply with the conditions to issuance of the Bond
Insurance Policy contained in the Bond Insurer's Commitment for
Municipal Bond Insurance dated June 13, 1985, the City covenants
for so long as the Bonds remain outstanding as follows:
(a) It will provide to the Bond Insurer a copy
of each of the annual audits of the City's accounts
by the State Auditor of Washington.
(b) The consent of the Bond Insurer shall be
obtained for modifications of or amendments to this
ordinance.
(c) The Bond Insurer shall have the right to
enforce the provisions of this ordinance.
(d) The Bond Insurer shall be furnished with
written notice of the resignation or removal of the
Bond Registrar and the appointment of a successor
thereto.
Section 18. Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc.. Foster &
Marshall Division, of Seattle, Washington. has presented a
purchase contract dated July 17, 1985 (the "Purchase Contract")
to the City offering to purchase the Bonds under the terms and
conditions provided in the Purchase Contract and to purchase on
behalf of the City the Acquired Obligations at the prices speci-
fied in Schedule A of the Refunding Trust Agreement (subject to
substitution), which written Purchase Contract is on file with
the City Clerk and is incorporated herein by this reference.
- 28 -
The City Council, finding that entering into the Purchase Con-
tract was in the City's best interest, accepted the offer con-
tained in the Purchase Contract and authorized the execution of
the Purchase Contract by City officials on June 17, 1985, and
such acceptance is ratified and confirmed.
The Bonds will be printed at City expense and will be
delivered to the purchaser in accordance with the Purchase
Contract, with the approving legal opinion of Roberts &
Shefelman, municipal bond counsel of Seattle, Washington,
relative to the issuance of the Bonds, printed on each Bond.
Bond counsel shall not be required to review or express any
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 for the prompt delivery of the Bonds to the
purchaser and for the proper application and use of the proceeds
of the sale thereof.
Section 19. This ordinance shall take effect and be in
force five (5) days from and after its passage, approval and
publication as provided by law.

REFUNDING TRUST AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into as of the day of
July, 1985, by and between the CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON (the
"City"), and RAINIER NATIONAL BANK, Seattle, Washington (the
'Refunding Trustee');
W I T N E S S E T H:
SECTION 1. Recitals. The City has outstanding $4,800,000
of Water Revenue Bonds, 1982 (the 01982 Bonds'), dated December
1, 1982, maturing serially on December 1 of each of the years
1985 through 2002, and bearing various interest rates from 8.25%
to 11.00% per annum, and, pursuant to Ordinance No. (the
'Refunding Bond Ordinance'), the City has determined to pay the
principal of and interest on the 1982 Bonds as the same shall
become due up to and including December 1, 1992, and, on
December 1, 1992, to call, pay and redeem all outstanding 1982
Bonds maturing on December 1 of each of the years 1993 through
2002 out of the proceeds of the sale of its Water Revenue
Refunding Bonds, 1985 (the 'Refunding Bonds').
SECTION 2. Provisions for Refunding the 1981 Bonds. To
accomplish the refunding of the 1982 Bonds as afozesaid, the
City, simultaneously with the delivery of the Refunding Bonds
issued pursuant to the Refunding Bond Ordinance, agrees to
deposit irrevocably with the Refunding Trustee in trust for the
security and benefit of the owners of the 1982 Bonds and the
Refunding Bonds, the sum of $78.14 in cash and certain Acquired
Obligations with amounts, interest rates and maturities as more
particularly set forth in Schedule A attached to this Agreement
and by this reference incorporated herein, which securities
hereinafter are referred to as Acquired Obligations. Such cash
and Acquired Obligations, with the investment income therefrom,
will be sufficient to provide the funds required to pay the
principal of and interest on the 1982 Bonds as the same shall
become due up to and including December 1, 1992, and, on
December 1, 1992, to call, redeem and retire all outstanding
1982 Bonds maturing on December 1 of each of the years 1993
through 2002.
The City reserves the right to substitute other direct
United States obligations for any of the Acquired Obligations
if, in the opinion of Roberts & Shefelman, the interest on the
Refunding Bonds will remain exempt from federal income taxation
under Section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
amended, and applicable regulations thereunder, and if such
substitution shall not impair the timely payment of principal of
or interest on the 1982 Bonds up through December 1, 1992, and
the amount of principal and call premium required to pay and
redeem the 1982 Bonds to be called prior to maturity on their
call date.
SECTION 3. Provisions Applicable to Refunding. On or
before the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, the City agrees that
- 2 -
it will cause to be delivered to the Refunding Trustee a state-
ment setting forth the amount of interest and principal to be
paid on each semiannual interest payment date on the 1982 Bonds
up through December 1, 1992, and the amount of principal and
call premium required to pay and redeem the 1982 Bonds to be
called prior to maturity on their call date.
In the Refunding Bond Ordinance, the City has called for
redemption or prepayment all of the 1982 Bonds to be called as
above set forth on their call date. Such call for redemption or
prepayment shall be irrevocable upon the delivery of the Refund-
ing Bonds. The Refunding Trustee, in conjunction with the City
Treasurer, shall provide for publication and mailing of the
proper notices of such redemption or prepayments in accordance
with the applicable provisions of Ordinance No. 2382 pertaining
to the 1982 Bonds.
Irrevocable provision for the giving of such notices of
redemption or prepayment has been made by the City.
SECTION 4. Disbursements by Refunding Trustee. The
Refunding Trustee shall present for payment on the due date
thereof the Acquired Obligations so deposited and shall apply
the proceeds derived therefrom in accordance with the provisions
of this section.
