established in the office of the Finance Director as a special fund known and designated as the

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 Director 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 bonds payable from the Bond Fund, and

Insurance in an amount no less than the Reserve Requirement for the 1991 Bonds,
the State SRF Loan, the Series 1998A Bonds and the Series 1998B 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
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
-27-

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 Insurers shall be reimbursed first on a pro rata basis, 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
-28-
50034587 04
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

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

agrees that all ULID Assessments levied in ULIDs Nos 130 and 131 of the City shall be
deposited in the Bond Fund

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

outstanding Panty 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

Waterworks Utility for the same period Any such money so paid into the Bond
