Section 5. The Bond Fund is hereby divided into two accounts, namely, a "Principal and Interest Account" and a "Reserve Account." So long as any Bonds are outstanding against the Bond Fund, the City Treasurer of the City of Kent shall set aside and pay into the Bond Fund a fixed amount without regard to any fixed proportion, as follows: (a) Into the Principal and Interest Account, out of the Sewer Revenue Fund monthly, on or before the 20th day of each month, beginning with the month of October, 1968, and continuing thereafter one-sixth of the next ensuing six months' interest requirements of the Bonds, and in addition one -twelfth of the next ensuing twelve months' requirements for principal of the Bonds; and (b) Into the Reserve Account, subject to section 10 from the first assessments received or installments thereof and interest and any penalties thereon in Utility Local Im- provement District No. 1, by October 1, 1973, a sum at least equal to the maximum annual amount required for debt service on any outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds, excluding the principal but including the interest payable in any Term Bond Maturity Year. In the event that assessment payments shall be inadequate to build up the required amount by the above date, the City shall deposit sufficient amounts from the Sewer Revenue Fund to meet the requirements of this paragraph. The Reserve Account may be accumulated from any other moneys which the City may have available for such purpose in addition to using assessments and revenues in the Sewer Revenue Fund therefor. The City covenants and agrees that when the required amounts have been deposited in the Reserve Account, it will at all times maintain those amounts therein until there is a sufficient amount in the Principal and Interest Account and Reserve Account to pay the principal of, call premium if any, and interest on all outstanding bonds payable out of the Bond Fund, at which time the money in the Reserve Account may be used to pay such principal, call premium if any, and interest; except that moneys in the Reserve Account may be withdrawn to pay the principal of all or a part of any maturity then due of the Bonds or Parity Bonds or the principal, call premium if any, and interest on all of the outstanding bonds of any single issue or series of revenue bonds payable out of the Bond Fund so long as the moneys thereafter remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account meet the requirements of the immediately preceding paragraph of this section for all remaining bonds then outstanding payable out of the Bond Fund. ac In the event there shall be a deficiency in the Principal and Interest Account to meet maturing installments of either interest on or principal of and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Bonds outstanding, such deficiency shall be made up from the Reserve Account by the withdrawal of cash therefrom. Any deficiency created in the Reserve Account by reason of any such withdrawal shall then be made up from the Gross Revenues of the System of Sewerage and from moneys collected on utility local improvement district assessments or installments thereof and interest and any penalties thereon pledged by this and other ordinances of the City to be paid into the Bond Fund, which shall be first available after making necessary provisions for other required payments into the Bond Fund. All moneys 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 department or agency of the United States Government, or may be invested in United States Government obligations maturing not later than five years from date of purchase and maturing not later than the last maturity of any outstanding bonds payable out of the Bond Fund. Interest earned on any such investments shall be deposited in and become a part of the Reserve Account until the total required reserve amount shall have been accumulated therein, after which such interest shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account. It is hereby declared that in creating the Bond Fund and in fixing the amounts to be paid into it, as aforesaid, the City Council has due regard for the cost of operation and maintenance of the System of Sewerage and the debt service requirements for all other outstanding sewer revenue bonds of the City and hereby declares that the City Council is not setting aside into the Bond Fund a greater amount than in its judgment will be available over and above such costs of operation and maintenance and such debt service requirements. If the City fails to set aside and pay into the Bond Fund the amounts above set forth, the holder of any of the outstanding bonds payable out of the Bond Fund may bring action against the City to compel such setting aside and payment. Section 6. The Gross Revenues of the System of Sewerage and all assessments and installments thereof, plus interest and any penalties thereon, levied and hereafter collected in Utility Local Improvement District No. 1 and in any utility local improvement districts which may be hereafter created, the assessments of which are pledged by the City to be paid into the Bond Fund, are hereby pledged for the payment of the Bonds and any Parity Bonds which may be issued. The Bonds and any Parity Bonds shall constitute a lien or charge upon the Net Revenues of the System of Sewerage and such utility local improvement district assessments and payments prior and superior to any other charges whatsoever, except that the lien or charge upon such revenues for such bonds shall be subordinate and inferior to the prior lien or charge upon the Gross Revenues of the System of Sewerage for the presently outstanding 1959 Bonds, 1964 Bonds and 1966 Bonds. Section 7. The City covenants and agrees with the owner and holder of each of the Bonds at any time outstanding, as follows: (a) All assessments and installments thereof in Utility Local Improvement District No. 1 heretofore created and in any utility local improvement district hereafter created to secure the payment of the princi- pal of and interest on any Parity Bonds which may be hereafter issued shall be paid into the Bond Fund and may be used to build up the required reserves in the Reserve Account and to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and/or such Parity Bonds, without those assessments or installments thereof or interest or penalties thereon being particularly allocated to the payment of the principal and interest of any particular issue of bonds. Nothing in this ordinance or this section shall be construed to prohibit the City from issuing sewer revenue bonds junior in lien to the Bonds and pledging as security for their payment assessments levied in any utility local improvement district which may have been specifically created to pay part of the cost of im- provements to the System of Sewerage for which those junior lien bonds were specifically issued. (b) It will establish, maintain and collect such rates and charges for sanitary sewage disposal service and for garbage and refuse collection and disposal service for so long as any of the Bonds and Parity Bonds are outstanding that will make available for the payment of the principal and interest of such bonds and the outstanding 1959 Bonds, 1964 Bonds and 1966 Bonds as the same shall become due Net Revenues of the System of Sewerage, together with all utility local improvement district assessments payable into the Bond Fund, an amount equal to at least 1.35 times the amount required in each calendar year to pay all of such principal and interest as the same become due that year, but excluding any Term Bond Maturity Year.

(d) It will at all times maintain and keep the System of Sewerage in good repair, working order and condition, and also, will at all times operate such system and the business in connection therewith in an efficient manner and at a reasonable cost. (e) It will not sell, lease, mortgage or in any manner encumber or dispose of all the property of the System of Sewerage unless provision is made for payment into the Bond Fund of a sum sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Bonds and Parity Bonds at any time out- standing, and that it will not sell, lease, mortgage or in any manner encumber or dispose of any part of the property of that 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 an amount which shall not be less than an amount which shall bear the same ratio to the amount of outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds as the revenue available for debt service for such outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds for the twelve months preceding such sale, lease, encumbrance or disposal from the portion of the system sold, leased, en- cumbered or disposed of bears to the revenue available for debt service for such Bonds and Parity Bonds from the entire system for the same period. Any such money so -10- paid into the Bond Fund shall be used to retire such out- standing Bonds at the earliest possible date. (f) It will while any of the Bonds or Parity 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 System of Sewerage, and it will furnish the original purchaser or purchasers of the Bonds and Parity Bonds, or any subsequent holder or holders thereof, at the written request of such holder or holders, complete operating and income statements of the System of Sewerage in reasonable detail covering any calendar year not more than ninety (90) days after the close of such calen- dar year, and it will grant any holder or holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds, the right at all reasonable times to inspect the entire system and all records, accounts and data of the City relating thereto. Upon request of any holder of any of the Bonds or Parity Bonds, it also will furnish such holder a copy of the most recently completed audit of the City's accounts by the State Auditor of Washington. (g) It will not furnish sanitary sewage disposal service or garbage and refuse collection and disposal service to any customer whatsoever free of charge, and it will promptly take legal action to enforce collection of delinquent accounts and assessments. (h) It will carry the types of insurance on its System of Sewerage properties in the amounts normally carried by private sewer companies engaged in the operation of sewer systems. The cost of such insurance shall be considered a part of operating and maintaining that system. If, as and when, the United States of America or some agency thereof shall provide for war risk insurance, the City fur- ther agrees to take out and maintain such insurance on all or such portions of the System of Sewerage on which such war risk insurance may be written in an amount or amounts to cover adequately the value thereof. (i) It will pay all costs of maintenance and operation of the System of Sewerage and the debt service requirements for the outstanding 1959 Bonds, 1964 Bonds and 1966 Bonds, and otherwise meet the obligations of the City, as herein set forth.

Section 10. The City covenants and agrees that for as long as any of the Bonds is outstanding it will not create any special fund or funds for the payment of the principal of and interest on any other sewer revenue bonds and shall not issue any such bonds which would rank on a parity with or have priority over the payments into the Bond Fund to be made out of the Gross Revenues of the System of Sewerage except that the City reserves the right for (1) the purpose of acquiring, constructing and installing additions to and betterments, improve- ments and extensions of, acquiring necessary equipment for or making necessary replacements of equipment or capital improvements to, the System of Sewerage, or (2) the purpose of exchanging or purchasing or refunding and retiring prior to or at maturity any outstanding sewer revenue bonds of the City, to issue additional and/or refunding Parity Bonds therefor, and to make payments into the Bond Fund from the Gross Revenues of the System of Sewerage, together with assessments or installments and interest and -Is- penalties thereon collected in any utility local improvement district to be paid into the Bond Fund, sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such Parity Bonds and to maintain a reserve therefor, as hereinafter required, which such payments may rank equally with the payments out of such Gross Revenues, assessments or installments thereof and interest thereon collected, required by this Ordinance to be made into the Bond Fund and Reserve Account created therein, in compliance with the following conditions: (a) All payments then required by this ordinance and all payments then required by any ordinance hereafter adopted pertaining to any Parity Bonds hereafter issued shall have been made into the Bond Fund and that there shall be no deficiency therein; and (b) The ordinance providing for the issuance of such additional Parity Bonds shall provide that all assessments and interest and penalties thereon, which may be levied in any utility local improvement districts hereafter created for the purpose of paying in whole or in part the principal of and interest on such additional Parity Bonds, shall be paid directly into the Bond Fund; and (c) The ordinance providing for the issuance of such additional bonds shall provide for the payment of the principal thereof and interest thereon out of the Bond Fund and shall further provide for the immediate payment into the Reserve Account in the Bond Fund out of such assessments levied and first collected for the payment of the principal of and interest on such additional Parity Bonds and, if necessary, out of any other moneys of the City available for such purpose, of an amount, in addition to the amounts required to be maintained in the Reserve Account for the then out- standing Bonds and any Parity Bonds theretofore issued, equal to the maximum annual principal and interest requirements of those additional Parity Bonds, including the interest on, but excluding the principal of, bonds payable within a Term Bond Maturity Year. In the event no assessments are levied for the payment of the principal of and interest on such additional reve- nue bonds, or insufficient assessments are collected to meet such requirements, then the City shall pay such amount into the Reserve Account within five years from the date of issuance of such bonds. In the case of refunding Parity Bonds, the ordinance authorizing the issuance of such refunding Parity Bonds shall pro- vide that the money in the Reserve Account for the bonds to be refunded shall be retained in the Bond Fund as a reserve for the refunding bonds, or the money in any other reserve account or fund for the bonds being refunded shall be transferred to the Reserve Account in the Bond Fund, but if such amount does not equal the above requirements of such bonds, such required re- serve for the refunding Parity Bonds shall be accumulated in the same manner and within the same time as set forth herein for additional Parity Bonds. -16- (d) There shall be on file with the City a certificate of a professional engineer experienced in municipal utilities and licensed to practice in the State of Washington, or a certified public accountant, to the effect that the Net Revenues of the System of Sewerage for any twelve consecutive calendar months out of the immediately preceding fifteen calendar months' period (if the System of Sewerage or portion thereof does not have an operating experience of at least twelve calen- dar months, then the Net Revenue shall be projected for a full twelve-month period) , together with assess- ments, both principal and interest, collected in Utility Local Improvement District No. 1 and in any other utility local improvement district hereafter created, the assess- ments in which are to be paid into the Bond Fund, to- gether with the additional Net Revenues reasonably anticipated to be received from the making of the im- provements in connection with which the additional Parity Bonds are proposed to be issued, together with the collection of assessments, both principal and in- terest, reasonably anticipated to be collected in any utility local improvement districts created to pay in whole or in part such additional Parity Bonds, together with revenues projected to twelve months from users of the System of Sewerage for less than twelve months, together with any increase in Net Revenues reasonably anticipated to result from any change in the schedule of charges for the System of Sewerage to be put into effect prior to the issuance of such additional bonds, and together with any increase or decrease in Net Reve- nues reasonably anticipated to result from a normal growth or shrinkage in the number of customers on the System of Sewerage, less additional maintenance and operation costs attributable to the improvements to be made from the proceeds of those additional Parity Bonds, to the effect that such Net Revenues, earnings, collec- tions and income are deemed sufficient to equal at least 1.35 times the principal and interest requirements during each calendar year of the outstanding Bonds and Parity Bonds, the additional Parity Bonds to be issued, and any outstanding 1959 Bonds, 1964 Bonds and 1966 Bonds up to the final maturity date thereof, excluding in both cases the principal requirements, but including the interest requirements, of bonds maturing in any Term Bond Maturity Year. If such additional Parity Bonds proposed to be so issued are for the sole purpose of refunding outstanding sewer (or water and sewer) revenue bonds, such certification of coverage shall not be required if the amount required for payment of the principal and interest in each year for the refunding Parity Bonds is not increased over the amount required for the bonds to be refunded thereby and the maturities of the refunding bonds are not extended beyond the maturities of the bonds to be refunded thereby. The right to issue hereafter any additional bonds on a parity of lien with the outstanding 1959 Bonds, 1964 Bonds and 1966 Bonds is cancelled and rescinded. Section 11. McLean & Company, Inc., of Tacoma, Washington, has offered to purchase the Bonds as evidenced by its written offer on file with the City Clerk.

The Bonds shall, therefore, immediately upon their execution and delivery to the City Treasurer be delivered to such purchaser upon payment therefor in accordance with such accepted offer. The City Treasurer is hereby authorised and requested to deposit in the Bond Fund the accrued interest received at the delivery of the Bonds and the principal proceeds received from the sale of the Bonds in the "Sewer Construction Fund, 19 67 " created and established in the office of the City Treasurer by Ordinance No. 1455. The moneys in that construction fund shall be used to pay the costs of carrying out the improvement ordered to be carried out by Ordinance No. 1455, as amended, and to redeem revenue warrants payable from the Fund. At the time of the delivery of the Bonds to the purchaser thereof, the City shall forthwith redeem Bonds Nos. 301 to 360, inclusive, by the payment of the principal thereof and accrued interest thereon from moneys in the Bond Fund derived from the prepayment of assessments in Utility Local Improvement District No. 1.
