(2) From the moneys remaining in the Revenue Fund, the Issuer shall next deposit into a separate fund, which is hereby created and designated Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds Sinking Fund (hereinafter called "Sinking Fund"), such sums as will be sufficient to pay (a) one-sixth (1/6) of all interest becoming due on the Bonds on the next semi-annual interest payment date; (b) commencing in the first month which is twelve (12) months or six (6) months prior to the first annual or semi-annual maturity date, respectively, of any Serial Bonds, one -twelfth (1/12) or one-sixth (1/6), respectively, of the amount of Serial Bonds which will become due and payable on the next annual or semi-annual principal maturity date, respectively, and (c) one -twelfth (1/12) of the . Amortization Installment required to be made on the next annual payment date or one- LKL-01/16/87-94A-2547 -14- sixth (11/6) of the Amortization Installment required to be made on the next semi-annual payment date into a "Bond Amortization Account", which is hereby created and established in the Sinking Fund. Such payments shall be credited to a separate special Aft account for each series of Term Bonds outstanding, and if there shall be more than one MW stated maturity for Term Bonds of a series, then into a separate special account in the Sinking Fund for each such separate maturity of Term Bonds. The funds and investments in each such separate account shall be pledged solely to the payment of principal of the Term Bonds of the series or maturity within a series for which it is established and shall not be available for payment, purchase or redemption of Term Bonds of any other series or within a series, or for transfer to the Sinking Fund to make up any deficiencies in required payments therein. The Amortization Installments may be due either annually or semi-annually, but in any event, the required payments as set forth above shall be made monthly commencing in the first month which is six (6) months or twelve (12) months, as the case may be, prior to the date on which the Amortization Installment is required to be made pursuant to (c) above. Upon the sale of any series of Term Bonds, the Issuer shall by resolution, establish the amounts and maturities of such Amortization Installments for each series, and if there shall be more than one maturity of Term Bonds within a series, the Amortization Installments for the Term Bonds of each maturity. In the event the moneys deposited for retirement of a maturity of Term Bonds are required to be invested, in the manner provided below,. the Amortization Installments may be stated in terms of either the principal amount of the investments to be purchased on, or the cumulative amounts of the principal amount of investments required to have been purchased by, the payment date of such Amortization Installment. Moneys on deposit in each of the separate special accounts in the Bond Amortization Account shall be used for the open market purchase or the redemption of Term Bonds of the series or maturity of Term Bonds within a series for which such separate special account is established or may remain in said separate special account and be invested until the stated date of maturity of the Term Bonds. The resolution establishing the Amortization Installments for any series or maturity of Term Bonds may limit the use of moneys to any one or more of the uses set forth in the preceding sentence and may specify the type or types of investments permitted hereunder to be purchased. (3) Moneys remaining in the Revenue Fund shall next be applied by the Issuer to maintain a Reserve Account, which Reserve Account is hereby created and • established, in a sum equal to and sufficient to pay the Maximum Bond Service LKL-01/16/87-94A-2547 -15- Requirement on all outstanding Bonds becoming due in any ensuing Fiscal Year, all or a portion of which such sum may be initially provided from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds and/or other moneys of the Issuer. The Issuer shall thereafter deposit into said Reserve Account an amount equal to one -twelfth (1/12) of twenty per cent (20%) of the difference between the amount, if any, so deposited upon the delivery of the Bonds and the amount of the :Maximum Bond Service Requirement on all outstanding Bonds becoming due in any ensuing Fiscal Year. No further payments shall be required to be made into such Reserve Account when there has been deposited therein and as long as there shall remain on deposit therein a sum equal to the Maximum Bond Service Requirement on all outstanding Bonds becoming due in any ensuing Fiscal Year. Any withdrawals from the Reserve Account shall be subsequently restored from the first moneys available in the Revenue Fund after all required current payments into the Sinking Fund and into the Reserve Account, including all deficiencies for prior payments, have been made in full. Moneys in the Reserve Account shall be used only for the purpose of the payment of maturing principal (including Amortization Installments) of or interest on the Bonds when the moneys in the Sinking Fund are insufficient therefor, and for no other purpose. Upon the issuance by the Issuer of any Additional Bonds under the terms, limitations and conditions provided in this Resolution, the payments into the Reserve Account shall be increased so that the amount on deposit therein shall be equal to the Maximum Bond Service -Requirement on all Bonds outstanding and to be outstanding. Whenever the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account exceeds the Maximum Bond Service Requirement on all Bonds then outstanding, the excess may be withdrawn and deposited into the Sinking Fund. The Issuer shall not be required to make any further payments into the Sinking Fund or into the Reserve Account when the aggregate amount of moneys in the Sinking Fund and the Reserve Account are at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding, plus the amount of interest then due or thereafter to become due on the Bonds then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu of the required deposits of Revenues into the Reserve Account, the Issuer may cause to be deposited into the Reserve Account a surety bond or an insurance policy issued by a reputable and recognized insurer for the benefit of the Bondholders in an amount equal to the difference between the Maximum Bond Service Requirement and the sums then on deposit in the . Reserve Account, if any, which surety bond or insurance policy shall be payable (upon the LKL-01/16/87-94A-2547 -16- giving of notice as required thereunder) on any interest payment date on which a deficiency exists which cannot be cured by funds in any other account held pursuant to this Resolution and available for such purpose. The insurer providing such surety bond or insurance policy shall be an insurer whose municipal bond insurance policies insuring the • payment, when due, of the principal of and interest on municipal bond issues results in such issues being rated in the highest rating category by either Standard be Poor's Corporation or Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or their successors or any insurer who holds the highest policyholder rating accorded insurers by A.M. Best do Co. or any comparable service. If a disbursement is made from a surety bond or an insurance policy provided pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall be obligated to either reinstate the maximum limits of such surety bond or insurance policy immediately following such disbursement or to deposit into the Reserve Account, as herein provided in this paragraph for restoration of withdrawals from the Reserve Account, funds in the amount of the disbursement made under such policy, or a combination of such alternatives. (4) The Issuer shall next apply and deposit the moneys in the Revenue Fund into the Rebate Fund to pay the Rebate Amount, in accordance with Section 16C of this Resolution. (5) The Issuer shall next apply and deposit the moneys in the Revenue Fund into a special account to be known as the "Renewal and Replacement Fund", which fund is hereby created. The Issuer shall deposit into such Renewal and Replacement Fund an amount equal to one -twelfth (1/12) of five per centum (5%) of the Gross Revenues of the System for the previous Fiscal Year, or such other amount as is certified as necessary for the purposes of the Renewal and Replacement Fund by the Consulting Engineer and as approved by the City Council. The moneys in said Renewal and Replacement Fund shall be used only for the purpose of paying the cost of extensions, enlargements or additions to or the replacement of capital assets of the system and emergency repairs thereto. Such moneys on deposit in such Fund shall also be used to supplement the Reserve Account if necessary in order to prevent a default in the payment of the principal of and interest on the obligations. (6) To the extent junior lien bonds are issued and outstanding (which subordinated bonds the Issuer reserves the right to issue), the Issuer shall next apply moneys in the Revenue Fund to the payment of principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on such subordinated debt of the Issuer. (7) The balance of any moneys remaining in the Revenue Fund after is the above required payments have been made may either be deposited into either the LKL-01/16/87-94A-2547 -17- Renewal and Replacement Fund or the Sinking Fund, or may be used for the purchase or redemption of Bonds, or may be used by the Issuer for any lawful purpose of the Issuer.

There shall be deposited into the Rebate Fund the Rebate Amount (as set forth in the certificate of the certified public accountant described herein) from the Revenue Fund or from other funds of the Issuer, within five days following receipt of the certificate mentioned herein. Funds on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be used only to pay the Rebate Amount and for no other purpose (except as provided in subsection 16C(2)(A) hereof) until the Last Rebate Payment (hereinafter defined). Any deficiency in the Rebate Fund, as determined by the Rebate Administrator, hereinafter designated, upon consultation with a certified public accountant, Bond Counsel or such other consultant as deemed appropriate by the Rebate Administrator to assure compliance with applicable provisions of the Code, U.S. Treasury Regulations and any promulgations of the Internal Revenue Service, shall be payable from the following sources in the order listed, or at the option of the Issuer, from the source designated in writing by the Issuer to the Rebate Administrator: (i) moneys on deposit in the Construction Fund; (ii) moneys on deposit in the Revenue Fund; or (iii) from other lawfully available funds of the Issuer paid pursuant to this subsection. Such amounts shall be deposited to the Rebate Fund within five days of notice from the Rebate Administrator to the Issuer stating the amount of such deficiency and requesting the Issuer to designate the source of payment as aforesaid. All earnings from sums on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be retained therein and shall be applied as described below. (2) Funds on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be applied as follows: (A) If (I) the gross proceeds of the Bonds (excluding any amounts on deposit in a bona fide debt service fund) are fully spent for the governmental purpose for which the Bonds were issued within six months from the date of issuance of the Bonds, or if (II) the Issuer is a small governmental unit as provided in Section 148(f)(4)(C) the Code, then the Rebate Amount may be applied to pay qualified Costs of the Project, provided such amounts are applied for such purpose within the six month period mentioned herein (to the extent attributable to Section 16C(2)(A)(I), or (B) If the condition set forth in the above paragraph is not met, the Rebate Administrator shall give the Issuer written direction to withdraw an amount from the Rebate Fund and pay such amount, as follows: (I) The amount which the Rebate Administrator shall • direct to be withdrawn from the Rebate Fund shall be (i) in the case of any rebate LKL-01/16/87-94A-2547 -18- payment other than the Last Rebate Payment, an amount equal to 90 percent of the Rebate Amount with respect to the Bonds at the time of such payment, and (ii) in the case of the Last Rebate Payment, an amount sufficient to pay the remaining balance of the Rebate Amount, including such amounts, if any, not previously paid together with earnings • thereon. (II) The Rebate Administrator shall give the Issuer written direction to pay the amount specified in the preceeding paragraph to the United States Treasury as follows: (1) The first rebate payment shall be paid on the i earlier of (A) the date not later than 60 days after the date on which the last bond of the Bonds is redeemed, or (B) the date not later than 30 days after the expiration date of the fifth Bond Year. (2) Subsequent rebate payments shall be made no later than 30 days after the expiration date of the fifth Bond Year, and thereafter no later than 30 days after each fifth anniversary of such date. (3) The last rebate payment shall be made no later than 60 days after the date on which the last bond of the Bonds is redeemed (the "Last Rebate Payment"). The Rebate Administrator may in its sole discretion make rebate payments earlier or more frequently or in greater amounts (not to exceed the Rebate Amount as of the date of payment, unless the Issuer consents thereto in writing) than as herein provided. The Rebate Administrator shall make the rebate payments in the amounts, at the times and to the address, all as specified in Section 148(f) of the Code and in Section 1.103-15AT, Temporary U.S. Treasury Regulations, to the extent applicable, and in accordance with any promulgation in regard thereto by the Internal Revenue Service. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 16C of the Resolution to the contrary, the Issuer and Rebate Administrator shall not be required to comply with any of the requirements hereof for which an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel states that the failure to so comply will not cause the interest on the Bonds, or a particular series thereof, to be includable in gross income of the Bondholders. (3) The Issuer shall by resolution designate to act as Rebate Administrator for the Bonds a certified public accountant, a bank or trust company, or any other agent of the Issuer sufficiently knowledgeable in financial calculations to perform the obligations of the Rebate Administrator hereunder. The Rebate • Administrator is hereby authorized to hire counsel, accountants or experts which the LKL-01/16/87-94A-2547 -19- Rebate Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines advisable to determine the amount, due dates and any other requirements pertaining to the Rebate Fund. The Rebate Administrator will not be liable for any loss occasioned by its reliance on the instructions • of such experts. The duties and responsibilities of the Rebate Administrator may be performed by more than one party. (4) The Rebate Administrator shall obtain or provide: (1) The first rebate certificate of a certified public accountant as required herein, on the date which is the earlier of (A) the date 20 days after the date on which the last bond of the Bonds is redeemed, or (B) the date 20 days after the expiration date of the fifth Bond Year. (2) Subsequent rebate certificates of a certified public accountant as required herein, on the date 20 days after the expiration date of the fifth Bond Year, and thereafter on the date 20 days after each fifth anniversary of such date. (3) The last rebate certificate of a certified public accountant as required herein, on the date 20 days after the date on which the last bond of the Bonds is redeemed. The certificate of certified public accountant shall establish compliance with this subsection 16C during the applicable Bond Year. Such certificate may be based upon the Rebate Administrator's provision to the certified public accountant of a statement setting forth the aggregate amount earned on all Nonpurpose Investments in which gross proceeds of the Bonds are invested. Such certificate of a certified public accountant shall be in a form acceptable to the Rebate Administrator and shall set forth the Rebate Amount, calculated in accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code, Temporary U.S. Treasury Regulations, Section 1.103-15AT, and in accordance with any promulgation in regard thereto by the Internal Revenue Service. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 16C of the Resolution to the contrary, the rebate certificate may be provided by a certified public accountant, by an accounting firm, or by any other agent of the Issuer sufficiently knowledgeable in financial calculations to provide such certificate. (c) The Rebate Administrator shall provide the Issuer written investment instructions such that the Issuer will not make or direct any Person to make on its behalf a Prohibited Payment, as defined in Temporary U.S. Treasury Regulations, Section 1.103- 15AT(d)(6). As set forth therein, a Prohibited Payment is the payment, or agreement to pay, to a party other than the United States an amount that is required to be paid to the United States by entering into a transaction that reduces the Rebate Amount because 0 such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the LKL-01/16/87-94A-2547 -20- transaction had been at arms length and had the yield on the Bonds not been relevant to either party. (d) The Issuer shall provide the Rebate Administrator all such certifications, instructions or consents as may be required for the Rebate Administrator to administer • the Rebate Fund in accordance with this subsection 16C. D. INVESTMENT OF FUNDS. The Operation and Maintenance Fund, the Sinking Fund, the Reserve Account, the Renewal and Replacement Fund, the Revenue Fund, the Construction Fund, the Rebate Fund, the Excise Revenues Fund and any other special funds herein established and created shall constitute trust funds for the purposes provided herein for such funds. All such funds shall be continuously secured in the same manner as state and municipal deposits are required to be secured by the laws of the State of Florida. Moneys on deposit in any of such funds and accounts may be invested and reinvested in Authorized Investments. Investments made with moneys in the Construction Fund, the Revenue Fund, the Operation and Maintenance Fund, the Sinking Fund (except the Bond Amortization Account therein), the Rebate Fund, the Excise Revenues Fund must mature not later than the date that such moneys will be needed. Investments made with moneys in the accounts in the Bond Amortization Account, in the Reserve Account and in the Renewal and Replacement Fund must mature, in the case of the accounts in the Bond Amortization Account not later than the stated date of maturity of the Term Bonds to be retired from the sub -accounts in the Bond Amortization Account from which the investment is made, in the case of the Reserve Account not later than the final maturity of any Bonds then outstanding; and in the case of the Renewal and Replacement Fund, not later than such date as shall be determined by the Issuer. Any and all income received by the Issuer from all such investments shall be deposited into the Revenue Fund, except however, that investment income earned in the Bond Amortization Account may be retained thereon or deposited into the Sinking Fund and used to pay maturing principal of and interest on the Bonds, at the option of the Issuer. The Rebate Fund shall be invested in accordance with Section 16C of this Resolution and the earnings thereon shall be retained therein and used for the purposes designated in such section. The cash required to be accounted for in each of the foregoing funds and accounts established herein may be deposited in a single bank account, and funds allocated to the various accounts established herein may be invested in a common investment pool, . provided that adequate accounting records are maintained to reflect and control the LKL-01/16/87-94A-2547 -21- restricted allocation of the cash on deposit therein and such investments for the various purposes of such funds and accounts as herein provided. The designation and establishment of the various funds in and by this • Resolution shall not be construed to require the establishment of any completely independent, self -balancing funds as such term is commonly defined and used in governmental accounting, but rather is intended solely to constitute an earmarking of certain revenues and assets of the System for certain purposes and to establish certain priorities for application of such revenues and assets as herein provided. E. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. The Issuer will maintain the System and all parts thereof in good condition and will operate the same in an efficient and economical manner, making such expenditures for equipment and for renewals, repairs and replacements as may be proper for the economical operation and maintenance thereof. F. RATE ORDINANCE. The Issuer has enacted or will enact a rate ordinance and thereby will fix, establish and maintain such rates and will collect such fees, rentals and other charges for the services and facilities of the System and revise the same from time to time whenever necessary, as will always provide Gross Revenues in each Fiscal Year sufficient to pay one hundred per centum (100%) of the Cost of Operation and Maintenance of the System in such Fiscal Year, one hundred twenty-five (125%) of the Bond Service Requirement becoming due in such Fiscal Year on the outstanding Series 1987 Bonds and on all outstanding Additional Bonds, including all Pledged Revenues not released under Section 16U of this Resolution, plus one hundred per centum (100%) of all reserve and other payments required to be made pursuant to this Resolution, including all Pledged Revenues not released under Section 16U of this Resolution. Such rates, fees, rentals and other charges shall not be reduced so as to be insufficient to provide Gross Revenues for such purposes. G. BOOKS AND RECORDS. The Issuer shall keep books and records of the System, which such books and records shall be kept separate and apart from all other books, records and accounts of the Issuer, and Bondholders shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect all records, accounts and data of the Issuer relating thereto. H. ANNUAL AUDIT. The Issuer shall also, at least once a year, cause the books, records and accounts relating to the System to be properly audited by a recognized independent firm of certified public accountants and shall make generally available the report of such audits to any Bondholder. LKL-01/16/87-94A-2547 -22- 1. NO MORTGAGE OR SALE OF THE SYSTEM. The Issuer irrevocably covenants, binds and obligates itself not to sell, lease, encumber or in any manner dispose of the System as a whole until all of the Bonds shall have been paid in full as to both principal and interest, or payment shall have been duly provided for under this Resolution. • The foregoing provision notwithstanding, the Issuer may sell or dispose of, for fair market value, any properties or parts of the System which the Consulting Engineer shall certify in writing are not necessary for the continued operation of the System and that the sale or disposal of which will not adversely affect the Gross Revenues to be derived from the System to such an extent that the Issuer will fail to comply with the covenants contained herein, including Section 16F hereof. The proceeds derived from any sale or disposal of any properties or parts of the System as provided for in the above paragraph shall, in the discretion of the Issuer, be (1) deposited in the Renewal and Replacement Fund and used exclusively for the purpose of paying the cost of extensions, enlargements or additions to, or the replacement of capital assets of the System and for unusual or extraordinary repairs thereto, or for the construction or acquisition of additions, extensions and improvements to the System, or (2) for the purchase or retirement of the Bonds then outstanding. However, if the Consulting Engineer certifies that proceeds are necessary for the purposes stated in part (1) above, such proceeds shall remain in the Renewal and Replacement Fund until such certified requirements are satisfied, and the proceeds shall not be used for any other purpose allowed by this Resolution. J. INSURANCE. The Issuer will make adequate provision to maintain fire and windstorm insurance on all buildings and structures and properties of the System which are subject to loss through fire or windstorm, public liability insurance, and other insurance of such types and in such amounts as are normally carried in the operation of similar public and private utility systems within the State of Florida. Any such insurance shall be placed with nationally recognized and reputable insurors or under State approved and authorized self insurance programs or any combination of both and shall be carried for the benefit of the Bondholders. All monies received for losses under any such insurance, except public liability, are hereby pledged by the Issuer as security for the Bonds, until and unless such proceeds are used to remedy the loss or damage for which such proceeds are received, either by repairing the property damaged or replacing the property destroyed within ninety (90) days from the receipt of such proceeds. K. NO FREE SERVICE. The Issuer will not render or cause to be rendered . any free services of any nature by its System, nor will any preferential rates be LKL-01/16/87-94A-2547 -23- established for users of the same class. This covenant shall not prevent individual contracts with other governmental entities for the wholesale delivery of services of the System. The Issuer, including its departments, agencies and instrumentalities, shall avail • itself of the facilities or services provided by the System or any part thereof, and the same rates, fees or charges applicable to other customers receiving like services under similar circumstances shall be charged to the Issuer and any such department, agency or instrumentality. Such charges shall be paid as they accrue, and the Issuer shall transfer from its general funds sufficient sums to pay such charges. The revenues so received shall be deemed to be Gross Revenues derived from the operation of the System and shall be deposited and accounted for in the same manner as other Gross Revenues derived from such operation of the System. L. MANDATORY CONNECTION. To the full extent permitted by law the Issuer will adopt and keep in force and effect an ordinance requiring that all improved premises with respect to which water or sewer services from the System are available shall connect such premises to the System and shall obtain available water and sewer services only from the System. M. ENFORCEMENT OF COLLECTIONS. The Issuer will diligently enforce and collect all fees, rentals or other charges for the services and facilities of the System and take all steps, actions and proceedings for the enforcement and collection of such fees, rentals or other charges which shall become delinquent to the full extent permitted or authorized by the Act and by the laws of the State of Florida. The Issuer will, under reasonable rules and regulations, shut off and discon- tinue the supplying of the water service and the sewer service of the System for the non- payment of fees, rentals or other charges for said water service or said sewer service, or either of them, and will not restore said water service or sewer service, or either of them, until all delinquent charges for both water service and sewer service, together with interest and reasonable penalties, have been paid in full. N. REMEDIES. Any Bondholder, or any trustee acting for the Bondholders may, either at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus or other proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction, protect and enforce any and all rights, including the right to the appointment of a receiver, existing under the laws of the State of Florida, or granted and contained herein, and may enforce and compel the performance of all duties herein required or by any applicable statutes to be performed by the Issuer or by any officer thereof. LKL-01/16/87-94A-2547 -24- Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to grant to any Bondholders any Lien on any real property of the Issuer. O. CONSULTING ENGINEERS. The Issuer will retain an independent • consulting engineer or engineering firm having a favorable reputation for skill and experience for the design, construction and operation of systems of comparable size and character as the System, for the purpose of providing the Issuer competent engineering counsel in connection with the making of the capital improvements. The Issuer may, however, employ additional engineers at any time with relation to specific engineering and operation problems arising in connection with the System. P. NO COMPETING SYSTEM. To the full extent permitted by law the Issuer will not grant or cause, consent to, or allow the granting of any franchise or permit to any person, firm, corporation or body or agency or instrumentality whatsoever for the furnishing of water or sanitary sewerage services to or within the service area of the System, if determined by the Consulting Engineers to be materially competitive with the System and adversely affecting the Gross Revenues derived from the operation thereof. Q. ISSUANCE OF OTHER OBLIGATIONS. The Issuer will not issue any other obligations, except under the conditions and in the manner provided herein, payable from the Pledged Revenues, nor voluntarily create or cause to be created any debt, lien, pledge, assignment, encumbrance or other charge having priority to or being on a parity with the lien of the Series 1987 Bonds and the interest thereon upon the Pledged Revenues. Any other obligations issued by the Issuer in addition to the Series 1987 Bonds or Additional Bonds provided for in subsection 16R below, payable from the Pledged Revenues shall contain an express statement that such obligations are junior and subordinate in all respects to the Bonds as to lien on and source and security for payment from the Pledged Revenues.
