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 its Issue Date. (b) Authentication. Only a Bond bearing a Certificate of Authentication in substantially 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: "Certificate Of Authentication. This Bond is one of the fully registered City of Pasco, Washington, [Name of Series] described in the Bond Ordinance." The authorized signing of a Certificate of Authentication shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so authenticated has been duly executed, authenticated and delivered and is entitled to the benefits of this ordinance. Section 8. Payment of Bonds. Principal of and interest on each Bond shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America. Principal of and interest on each Bond registered in the name of the Securities Depository is payable in the manner set forth in the Letter of Representations. Interest on each Bond not registered in the name of the Securities Depository is payable by electronic transfer on the interest payment date, or by check or draft of the Bond Registrar mailed on the interest payment date to the Registered Owner at the address appearing on the Bond Register on the Record Date. However, the City is not required to make electronic transfers except pursuant to a request by a Registered Owner in writing received on or prior to the Record Date and at the sole expense of the Registered Owner. Principal of each Bond not registered in the name of the Securities Depository is payable upon presentation and surrender of the Bond by the Registered Owner to the Bond Registrar. The Bonds are not subject to acceleration under any circumstances. Section 9. Redemption Provisions and Purchase of Bonds. (a) Optional Redemption. The Bonds shall be subject to redemption at the option of the City on terms acceptable to the Designated Representative, as set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement, consistent with the parameters set forth in Exhibit A. -12- 51476003.3 (b) Mandatory Redemption. Each Bond that is designated as a Term Bond in the Bond Purchase Agreement, consistent with the parameters set forth in Exhibit A and except as set forth below, shall be called for redemption at a price equal to the stated principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, on the dates and in the amounts as set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement. If a Term Bond is redeemed under the optional redemption provisions, defeased or purchased by the City and surrendered for cancellation, the principal amount of the Term Bond so redeemed, defeased or purchased (irrespective of its actual redemption or purchase prices) shall be credited against one or more scheduled mandatory redemption installments for that Term Bond. The City shall determine the manner in which the credit is to be allocated and shall notify the Bond Registrar in writing of its allocation prior to the earliest mandatory redemption date for that Term Bond for which notice of redemption has not already been given. (c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption; Partial Redemption. If fewer than all of the outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed at the option of the City, the City shall select the Series and maturities to be redeemed. If fewer than all of the outstanding Bonds of a maturity of a Series are to be redeemed, the Securities Depository shall select Bonds registered in the name of the Securities Depository to be redeemed in accordance with the Letter of Representations, and the Bond Registrar shall select all other Bonds to be redeemed randomly in such manner as the Bond Registrar shall determine. All or a portion of the principal amount of any Bond that is to be redeemed may be redeemed in any Authorized Denomination. If less than all of the outstanding principal amount of any Bond is redeemed, upon surrender of that Bond to the Bond Registrar, there shall be issued to the Registered Owner, without charge, a new Bond (or Bonds, at the option of the Registered Owner) of the same Series, maturity and interest rate in any Authorized Denomination in the aggregate principal amount to remain outstanding. (d) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption of each Bond registered in the name of the Securities Depository shall be given in accordance with the Letter of Representations. Notice of redemption of each other Bond,unless waived by the Registered Owner, shall be given by the Bond Registrar not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption by first-class mail,postage prepaid, to the Registered Owner at the address appearing on the Bond Register on the Record Date. The requirements of the preceding sentence shall be satisfied when notice has been mailed as so provided, whether or not it is actually received by an Owner. In addition, the redemption notice shall be mailed or sent electronically within the same period to the MSRB (if required under the Undertaking), to each Rating Agency, and to such other persons and with such additional information as the Finance Manager shall determine, but these additional mailings shall not be a condition precedent to the redemption of any Bond. (e) Rescission of Optional Redemption Notice. In the case of an optional redemption, the notice of redemption may state that the City retains the right to rescind the redemption notice and the redemption by giving a notice of rescission to the affected Registered Owners at any time on or prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice of optional redemption that is so rescinded shall be of no effect, and each Bond for which a notice of redemption has been rescinded shall remain outstanding. (0 Effect of Redemption. Interest on each Bond called for redemption shall cease to accrue on the date fixed for redemption, unless either the notice of optional redemption is -13- 51476003.3 rescinded as set forth above, or money sufficient to effect such redemption is not on deposit in the Bond Fund or in a trust account established to refund or defease the Bond. (g) Purchase of Bonds. The City reserves the right to purchase any or all of the Bonds offered to the City at any time at any price acceptable to the City plus accrued interest to the date of purchase. Section 10. Failure to Pay Bonds. If the principal of any Bond is not paid when the Bond is properly presented at its maturity date or date fixed for redemption, 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 date fixed for redemption 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, or in a trust account established to refund or defease the Bond, and the Bond has been called for payment by giving notice of that call to the Registered Owner. Section 11. Bond Fund; Payments into Bond Fund. The Bond Fund has been previously created and established as a special fund of the City known and designated as the Water and Sewer Revenue and Refunding Bond Redemption Fund, 1991, which fund has been divided into two accounts, namely, the Principal and Interest Account and the Reserve Account. So long as any Parity Bonds are outstanding against the Bond Fund, the Finance Manager shall set aside and pay into the Bond Fund all ULID Assessments upon their collection and, out of the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility, certain fixed amounts without regard to any fixed proportion, namely, amounts, together with any ULID Assessments collected by the City and deposited into the applicable account in the Bond Fund and investment earnings in that account, as follows: (a) Into the Principal and Interest Account, on or before each interest or principal and interest payment date, an amount equal to the interest or the principal and interest to become due and payable on that interest or principal and interest payment date of all Parity Bonds; and (b) Into the Reserve Account, on the Issue Date of the Bonds, an amount sufficient, together with the Reserve Insurance, to fully fund the Reserve Requirement for all Parity Bonds. Money deposited in the Reserve Account for the Reserve Requirement for all Parity Bonds may be decreased for any issue of Parity Bonds when and to the extent the City has provided for an Alternate Security or Reserve Insurance for those bonds. When the Outstanding Parity Bonds are no longer outstanding, the following paragraph shall become effective: The City may establish,for one or more series of Future Parity Bonds, a separate reserve requirement (which may be zero), to be held in a separate reserve account,for the purpose of securing those Future Parity Bonds, and those Future Parity Bonds shall not be secured by amounts in the Reserve Account or by any Reserve Insurance credited to the Reserve Account. The City may establish additional accounts in the Bond Fund for the deposit of ULID Assessments after the deposit of the required amount in the other funds. -14- 51476003.3 The Reserve Account for any Future Parity Bonds may be accumulated from any other funds which the City legally may have available for such purpose in addition to using ULID Assessments and Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility. The City further agrees that when the required amounts have been paid into the Reserve Account in the Bond Fund, the City will maintain those amounts therein at all times, except for withdrawals therefrom as authorized herein, until there is sufficient money in the Bond Fund, including the Reserve Account therein, to pay the principal of and interest to maturity on all outstanding bonds payable from the Bond Fund, at which time no further payments need be made into the Bond Fund, and the money in the Bond Fund, including the Reserve Account, may be used to pay that principal and interest. If 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 the Bonds, the deficiency shall be made up from the Reserve Account by first the withdrawal of cash and investments therefrom and after all cash and investments have been depleted, then by the draws on the Reserve Insurance for that purpose on a pro rata basis. Any deficiency created in the Reserve Account by reason of any withdrawal shall then be made up from the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility first available after making necessary provisions for the required payments into the Principal and Interest Account. The Reserve Insurer shall be reimbursed first, within one year, to reinstate the Reserve Insurance,before the balance of the Reserve Requirement is restored. All money in the Reserve Account not needed to meet the payments of principal and interest when due may be kept on deposit in the official bank depository of the City or in any national bank or may be invested in any legal investment for City funds maturing not later than the interest or principal and interest payment date when the money will be needed. Interest on any of those investments or on that bank account shall be deposited in and become a part of the Reserve Account until the Reserve Requirement shall have been accumulated therein, after which time the interest shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account. Notwithstanding the provisions for the deposit or maintenance of earnings in accounts of the Bond Fund, 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. If the City shall fail to set aside and pay into the Bond Fund the amounts which it has obligated itself by this section to set aside and pay therein, the Owner of any Bond may bring suit against the City to compel it to do so. Section 12. Pledge, Lien and Charge for Payment of the Bonds. The Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility and ULID Assessments are pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due and shall constitute a lien and charge upon that Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility and ULID Assessments prior and superior to any other charges whatsoever, except that the lien and charge upon such Net Revenue and ULID Assessments for the Bonds shall be on a parity with the lien and charge thereon for any outstanding Parity Bonds. -15- 51476003.3 Section 13. Flow of Funds. Funds in the Water and Sewer Revenue Fund shall be used in the following order of priority: (1) To pay Operating and Maintenance Expenses; (2) To make all payments required to be made into the Bond Fund to pay and secure the payment of the Annual Debt Service on all outstanding Parity Bonds; (3) To make all payments required to be made into the Reserve Account and to make all payments (principal and interest) required to be made in connection with Reserve Insurance and any Alternate Security, except if there is not sufficient money to make all payments for Reserve Insurance and any Alternate Security, the payments shall be made on a pro rata basis with deposits in the Reserve Account. (4) To make all payments required to be made into the loan redemption funds or accounts, and other revenue bond redemption funds created to pay the debt service on any revenue obligation having a lien upon the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility subordinate to the lien of the Bonds; and (5) To make necessary additions, betterments, improvements or repairs to the Waterworks Utility, and to retire by redemption or purchase any outstanding Parity Bonds, or for any other lawful purpose. Section 14. Covenants. The City covenants and agrees with the owner of each of the Bonds as follows: (a) It will not sell, lease, mortgage, or in any manner encumber or dispose of all the properties of the Waterworks Utility unless provision is made for payment into the Bond Fund of an amount sufficient either to defease all outstanding Parity Bonds or to pay the principal of and interest on all the outstanding Parity Bonds in accordance with the terms thereof'; and further binds itself irrevocably not to mortgage, sell, lease or in any manner dispose of any part of the Waterworks Utility that is used, useful and material to the operation of such utility unless provision is made for replacement thereof or for payment into the Bond Fund of an amount which shall bear the same ratio to the amount of outstanding Parity Bonds as the Net Revenue available for debt service for such bonds for the twelve months preceding such sale, lease, encumbrance or disposal from the portion of the Waterworks Utility so leased, encumbered or disposed of bears to the Net Revenue available for debt service for such bonds from the entire Waterworks Utility for the same period. Any such money so paid into the Bond Fund shall be used to retire outstanding Parity Bonds at the earliest possible date. (b) It will maintain and keep the Waterworks Utility in good repair, working order and condition and to operate such utility and the business in connection therewith in an efficient manner and at a reasonable cost. (c) It will maintain and collect such rates as will produce sufficient Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility, together with ULID Assessment collections, as will make available for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Parity Bonds as they come due and for -16- 51476003.3 payments as required to be made into the Reserve Account therein an amount at least equal to the Coverage Requirement and, in addition thereto, that it will pay all Operating and Maintenance Expenses and otherwise meet the obligations of the City as herein set forth. (d) It will keep proper books of accounts and records separate and apart from other accounts and records, in which complete and correct entries will be made of all transactions relating to the Waterworks Utility of the City, and it will make available to any Owner on written request the annual operating and income statements of the Waterworks Utility. (e) Except to aid the poor or infirm, to provide for resource conservation or to provide for the proper handling of hazardous materials, it will not furnish water or sewerage service to any customer whatsoever free of charge and it shall, not later than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, take such legal action as may be feasible to enforce collection of all collectible delinquent accounts and, in addition thereto, shall promptly avail itself of its utility lien rights, as set forth in applicable statutes. (f) It will carry the types of insurance on its Waterworks Utility properties in the amounts normally carried by private water and sewer companies engaged in the operation of water and sewerage systems, and the cost of such insurance shall be considered a part of Operating and Maintenance Expenses, or it will implement and maintain a self-insurance program or an insurance pool program with reserves adequate, in the judgment of the City Council,to protect the owners of the Parity Bonds against loss. (g) To the extent permitted by State law, it will maintain its corporate identity and existence so long as any Bonds remain outstanding. (h) It will not grant any competing utility service franchise and will use all legal means to prevent competition with the Waterworks Utility. (i) If on the first day of January in any year, two installments of any ULID Assessment are delinquent, or the final installment of any ULID Assessment has been delinquent for more than one year, the City shall proceed with the foreclosure of the delinquent assessment or delinquent installments thereof in the manner provided by law. Section 15. Provisions for Future Parity Bonds. The City reserves the right to issue Future Parity Bonds if the Parity Conditions set forth in Exhibit B are met and complied with at the time of the issuance of those Future Parity Bonds. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the City from issuing Future Parity Bonds to refund any maturing Parity Bonds then outstanding, money for the payment of which is not otherwise available. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the City from issuing revenue bonds or incurring other obligations that are a charge upon the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility of the City subordinate or inferior to the payments required to be made therefrom into the Bond Fund for the payment of Parity Bonds or from pledging the payment of utility local improvement district assessments into a redemption fund created for the payment of the principal of and interest on those subordinate lien bonds or obligations as long as such utility local improvement district -17- 51476003.3 assessments are levied for improvements constructed from the proceeds of those subordinate lien bonds or obligations. Section 16. Tax Covenants. (a) Preservation of Tax Exemption for Interest on Bonds. The City covenants that 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 that 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 the 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. (b) Post-Issuance Compliance. The Finance Manager is authorized and directed to review and update the City's written procedures to facilitate compliance by the City with the covenants in this ordinance and the applicable requirements of the Code that must be satisfied after the Issue Date to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included in gross income for federal tax purposes. Section 17. Refunding or Defeasance of Bonds. The City may issue refunding bonds pursuant to State law or use money available from other lawful sources to carry out a refunding or defeasance plan, which may include (a) paying when due the principal of and interest on any or all of the Bonds (the "defeased Bonds"); (b) redeeming the defeased Bonds prior to their maturity; and (c) paying the costs of the refunding or defeasance. If the City sets aside special trust fund or escrow account irrevocably pledged to that redemption or defeasance (the "trust account"), money and/or Government Obligations maturing at a time or times and bearing interest in amounts sufficient to redeem, refund or defease the defeased Bonds in accordance with their terms, then all right and interest of the Owners of the defeased Bonds in the covenants of this ordinance and in the Gross Revenue of the Waterworks Utility, ULID Assessments, funds and accounts obligated to the payment of the defeased Bonds, other than the right to receive the funds so set aside and pledged, shall cease and become void. Thereafter, the Owners of defeased Bonds shall have the right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the defeased Bonds solely from the trust account and the defeased Bonds shall be deemed no longer outstanding. In that event, the City may apply money remaining in any fund or account (other than the trust account) established for the payment or redemption of the defeased Bonds to any lawful purpose, subject only to the rights of the Owners of any other Parity Bonds then outstanding. If the refunding plan provides that the defeased Bonds or the refunding bonds to be issued be secured by money and/or Government Obligations pending the prior redemption of the defeased Bonds and if such refunding plan also provides that certain money and/or Government Obligations 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. -18- 51476003.3 • Section 18. Deposit of Bond Proceeds; Creation of Construction Accounts. Immediately upon the issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the City shall cause the following to occur: (a) Reserve Account.

(b) Refunding Plan. The remaining proceeds of the Refunding Bonds shall be deposited with the Refunding Trustee as set forth in Section 19. (c) Construction Accounts. The Finance Manager is authorized to establish one or more special accounts within the Water/Sewer Fund, designated as the Construction Accounts. The remaining proceeds of the Project Bonds shall be paid into the Construction Accounts and used to pay the costs of the Plan of Additions and the costs of issuing the Project Bonds (if not included in the Refunding Plan). Until needed to pay those costs, the City may invest principal proceeds deposited in the Construction Accounts temporarily in any legal investment, and the investment earnings may be retained in such accounts and be spent for the purposes of those accounts, except that earnings subject to a federal tax or rebate requirement may be withdrawn therefrom and used for those tax or rebate purposes.

On the Issue Date, sufficient proceeds of the sale of the Refunding Bonds, together with any City Contribution, shall be deposited with the Refunding Trustee and used to discharge the obligations of the City relating to the Refunded Bonds under the applicable Parity Bond Ordinances 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 amount required to be paid by the Refunding Plan. The Acquired Obligations shall be listed and more particularly described in a schedule attached to the Refunding Trust Agreement, but are subject to substitution as set forth below. The Designated Representative is authorized and directed to approve the Acquired Obligations, if any, to be purchased. -19- 51476003.3 Any Project Bond proceeds deposited with the Refunding Trustee and not used to pay the costs of issuance of the Project Bonds shall be returned to the City for deposit in the Construction Accounts.

(d) Substitution of Acquired Obligations. The City reserves the right at any time to substitute cash or other direct, noncallable obligations of the United States of America ("Substitute Obligations") for any of the Acquired Obligations if the City obtains (1) an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the interest on the Refunding Bonds and the Refunded Bonds will remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Sections 103, 148 and 149(d) of the Code, and (2) a verification by a nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm that such substitution will not impair the timely payment of the amounts required to be paid by the Refunding Plan.
