No addirional revenue obligations payable from the Revenue Bond Debt Service Account shali be herea8er issued unless the same aze expressly made a second and subsequent lien upon the Net Revenues of the Water IItility; provide�l, however, that addirional obligations may be issued on a parity of lien with the 2005 Bonds, provided that the annual Net Revenues of said Water Utility for each of the two (2} completed fiscal years immediately preceding the issuance of such additional obligations shall have been one and one-haif {1.5} times the maximum annual principal and interest coming due thereafter on all outstanding revenue obligarions payable from and having a parity of lien upon the Net Revenues of the Water Utility Fund, including the additional obligations so to be issued; provided fiirther, however, that if the annual Net Revenues in either or both of the afaresaid two (2} completed fiscal years shall be insufficient to meet this test then any reasonably projected increase in Net Revenues for the fiscal yeaz immediately following such second completed fiscal year may be added to the Net Revenues for such completed fiscal yeazs ar either of them (but the total of such projected increase in Net Revenues may be added only once) in applying the foregoing test. For purposes of the foregoing limitations, when only bonds issued after the 1994 Bonds are outstanding, the "maximum annual principal and interest coming due thereafter" on variable rate bonds shall be calculated assuming the variable rate bonds bear fixed interest at the rates prevailing at the time of the calculation for utility revenue bonds of comparable quality, maturity (or remaining maturity) and taacable or tax-exempt status, provided that other or different assumptions may be used if necessary to obtain an inveshnent grade eredit rating for the variable rate bonds or to maintain the credit rating(s) then in effect for the bonds then outstanding. Such facts shall be shown by the Certificate of the General Manager of the Board of Water Conunissioners and shall be a finding of and recited in the resolution of the City authorizing any such additional series. In addirion, the foliowing conditions shall be met: 34 (a) The payments required to be made (at the time of the issuance of such 35 parity lien bonds) into the various funds and accounts provided for in this resolurion have 36 been made. 37 (b) All such parity lien bonds sha11 have a December 1 maturity or maturities 38 and shail have semiannual interest payments on 7une 1 and December 1 an each year; 39 provided that interest payments may be more frequent than semiannually or on dates 40 other than June 1 and December 1 if such interest is paid in full only if at the time of 41 payment the interest deposits into the Revenue Bond Debt Service Account for interest 42 payments on June 1 or December l, as appropriate, on other bonds are cunent, and any 173999Sv3 3'j �-�uG 1 iusufficiency of interest on all parity bonds is allocated proportionately in each si�c-month 2 period ending 7une 1 or December 1, as appropriate. 3 (c) The proceeds of such parity lien bonds shall be used only for the purpose 4 of (1) making improvements, additions, extensions, renewals or replacements to the 5 Water Utility, and capitalizing interest or establishing Reserves and paying the costs of 6 such financing, or (2) refundiug parity lien bonds (provided that bonds which refund 7 parity lien bonds may instead derive their parity lien status from para�aphs 19 or 25 as 8 applied in pazagraph 20). 9 19. Refunding Maturing Bonds. The City also reserves the right and privilege 10 of issuing additional revenue bonds if and to the extent needed to refund maturing bonds payable 11 from the moneys in the Water Utility Fund in case the moneys in the Revenue Bond Debt 12 Service Account are ansufficient to pay the same at maturity, which refiznding revenue bonds 13 may be on a parity with this issue as to interest payments even if such interest is in excess of the 14 interest on the refunded bonds, but shail mature subseqnent to all the revenue obligations which 15 are payable from the IVet Revenues of the Water Utility Fund and which are still outstanding 16 upon completion of such refunding. 17 20. Other Revenue Obli atg ions. Except as authorized in paragraphs 18, 19 18 and 25 hereof, the City covenants and agrees that it will issue or incur no obligations payable 19 from the Net Revenues of all or a part of said Water Urility or consrituting in any manner a lien 20 thereon, unless such obligations are expressly made junior and subordinate to the lien and charge 21 of the 2005 Bonds on said Net Revenues. If bonds which refund the 2005 Bonds are parity lien 22 bonds, they shall enjoy complete equality of lien with any portion of the 2005 Bonds not 23 refunded and any other then outstanding bonds payable from the Revenue Bond Debt Service 24 Account, if any there be, and such refunding bonds shall con6nue to have whatever priority of 25 lien over subsequent issues that the refunded bonds may have had. If only a portion of the 26 outstanding 2005 Bonds shall be refunded and if such 2005 Bonds shall be refunded in such 27 manner that the interest rate of any refunding bond shall be greater than the interest rate of the 28 corresponding refunded 2005 Bond (or the average net interest rate of the refunding bonds shall 29 be, or shall be reasonably estimated to be, higher than the average net interest rate of the 30 refunded 2005 Bonds), or that the maturity date of any refunding bond shall be earlier than the 31 maturity date of the corresponding refunded 2005 Bond (or the average maturity of the refunding 32 bonds shall be earlier than the average maturity of the refunded 2005 Bonds), then such 2005 33 Bonds may not be refunded without the consent of the holders of the unrefunded portion of the 34 2005 Bonds and any other bonds then outstanding payable $om the Revenue Bond Debt Service 35 Account unless the Net Revenues coverage test of paragraph 18 is met. 36 21. Insufficient Amounts. In the event that the moneys in the Revenue Bond 37 Debt Service Account and Reserve Account shall be insufficient at any particular time to pay the 38 principal then due and interest then accrued on all bonds payabie from the Revenue Bond Debt 39 Service Account, said moneys shall first be applied to the payment pro rata of the accrued 40 interest on all such bonds, payable over a period ending on June 1 or Aecember 1, as appropriate, 41 and any balance shali be applied in payment pro rata of the principal on all such bonds, provided 42 further that if it shall ever be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction while any such 43 bonds remain outstanding that the sums available and to become available for the payment of the 1739995v3 34 �5-a-a`f 1 principal thereof and interest thereon are insufficient whether or not then due, then the moneys in 2 the Revenue Bond Debt Service Account and Reserve Account shall be applied in payment of all 3 principal then outstanding whether or not then due and the interest accrued thereon to the date of 4 payment ratably according to the aggregate amount thereof without any preference or priority. 5 22. Suit bv Bondholders. The Hoiders of tv✓enty percent (20%) or more in 6 aggregate principal amount of bonds issued under this resolution and at any time outstanding 7 may, either at law or in equity, by suit, action, or other proceedings, protect and enforce the 8 rights of all Holders of the 2005 Bonds then outstanding or enforce or compel the pezformance of 9 auy and all of the covenants and duties specified in this resolution to be performed by the City or 10 Board or their officers and agents, including the fixing and maintaining of rates and charges and i l the collecrion and proper segregation of revenues and the applicafion and use thereof. 12 23.
