Background/Discussion (?) In accordance with provisions of the Local Government Bonding Act, the City is required to hold a public a hearing to receive input from the public for all new money bond issues with respect to: a) the issuance of our revenue bonds; and b) the potential economic impact that the water and sewer infrastructure improvements will have on the private sector.

The Series 2025 Bond will finance a portion of the capital improvements for water and sewer utilities, mainly related to the planned repair and replacement of aging infrastructure and to meet regulatory requirements.

Section 2. Description and Purpose of the Bonds. The Bonds will be dated the date of Closing (as hereinafter defined) and will be executed by the City and will be authenticated and delivered by U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (formerly known as U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), pursuant to the Master Trust Indenture dated as of January 1, 2004, as heretofore amended and supplemented (the “Master Trust Indenture”), and as further supplemented by the __________ Supplemental Trust Indenture, dated as of [February 1], 2025 (the “__________ Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Master Trust Indenture, the “Indenture”), each between the City and the Trustee.

Section 3. Public Offering. The Underwriter[s] agree[s] to make an initial public offering of all the Bonds at the public offering prices (or yields) set forth in the Official Statement. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the Underwriter[s] reserve[s] the right to change the public offering prices (or yields) as [it][they] deem necessary in connection with the marketing of the Bonds, provided that the Underwriter[s] shall not change the interest rates set forth on Exhibit A. The Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers at prices lower than such initial public offering price or prices set forth in the Official Statement. The Underwriter[s] also reserve[s] the right (i) to engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Bonds at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and (ii) to discontinue such transactions, if commenced, at any time. Section 4. Establishment of Issue Price. (a) The [Representative][Underwriter][, on behalf of the Underwriter[s],] agrees to assist the City in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the City at Closing an “issue price” or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the [Representative][Underwriter], the City and Bond Counsel (as hereinafter defined), to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds. (b) Except for any Hold-the-Price Maturities described in subsection (c) below and Exhibit A attached hereto, the City will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the “10% test”) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity (if different interest rates apply within a maturity, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be subject to the 10% test). Exhibit A attached hereto sets forth the maturities of the Bonds for which the 10% test has been satisfied as of the date of this Purchase Contract (the “10% Test Maturities”) and the prices at which the Underwriter[s] [has][have] sold such 10% Test Maturities to the public. (c) With respect to any maturities of the Bonds that are not 10% Test Maturities, as described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Hold-the-Price Maturities”), the [Representative][Underwriter] confirms that the Underwriter[s] [has][have] offered such maturities of the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Purchase Contract at the offering price or prices (the “initial offering price”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.

So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Hold-the-Price Maturities, - 3 - the [Representative][Underwriter] will neither offer nor sell unsold bonds of such maturity of the Hold-the-Price Maturities to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following: (i) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or (ii) the date on which the [Representative][Underwriter] has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Hold-the-Price Maturities to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.

(e) The City acknowledges that, in making the representations set forth in this subsection, the [Representative][Underwriter] will rely on (i) the agreement of each underwriter to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in an agreement among underwriters and the related pricing wires, (ii) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (iii) in the event that an underwriter or dealer who is a member of the selling group is a party to a third-party distribution agreement that was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in the third-party distribution agreement and the related pricing wires.

(f) The Underwriter[s] acknowledge[s] that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below) shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section.

Bonds with different maturity dates, or Bonds with the same maturity date but different stated interest rates, are treated as separate maturities. “Public” means any person (including an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation) other than an Underwriter or a Related Party to an Underwriting Firm. A person is a “Related Party” to an Underwriter if the Underwriter and the person are subject, directly or indirectly, to (a) more than 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (b) more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of another), or (c) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other). “Underwriter” means (a) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Issuer (or with the [Purchaser][Representative] to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public, and (b) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (a) of this definition to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third-party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public). B-3 All terms not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Tax Exemption Certificate and Agreement with respect to the Bonds, to which this Certificate is attached. The representations set forth in this certificate are limited to factual matters only. Nothing in this certificate represents the Purchaser’s interpretation of any laws, including specifically Sections 103 and 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The undersigned understands that the foregoing information will be relied upon by the Issuer with respect to certain of the representations set forth in its documents and with respect to compliance with the federal income tax rules affecting the Bonds, and by Chapman and Cutler LLP in connection with rendering its opinion that the interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, the preparation of Internal Revenue Service Form 8038-G, and other federal income tax advice it may give to the Issuer from time to time relating to the Bonds. _______________[, as Representative of the Original Purchaser Group] By: ____________________________________ Managing Director _______________[, as representative of the Dated: __________, 2025.

(Source: The Municipal Advisor.) -13- SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS GENERAL The Series 2025 Bonds and all other Bonds issued under the Master Indenture will be secured equally and ratably by the Net Revenues and funds pledged therefor pursuant to the Master Indenture. The Series 2025 Bonds are special obligations of the City, payable exclusively from the Revenues, moneys, securities and funds pledged therefor in the Indenture, after the payment from such Revenues of Operation and Maintenance Costs of the System. “Revenues” means all revenues, connection fees, income, rents and receipts derived by the City from or attributable to the System, including all interest, profits or other income derived from the investment of any moneys held pursuant to the Indenture and the proceeds of any interest subsidy with respect to the Bonds. Revenues do not include proceeds received on insurance resulting from casualty damage to assets of the System or the proceeds of sale of bonds, notes or other obligations issued for System purposes. “Net Revenues” means, for any period, the Revenues for such period less the Operation and Maintenance Costs (as defined in APPENDIX B). In the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Series 2025 Bonds are not subject to acceleration. NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY IS PLEDGED AS SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2025 BONDS, AND THE SERIES 2025 BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITY OR OF ANY OTHER ENTITY OR BODY, MUNICIPAL, STATE OR OTHERWISE. THE INDENTURE DOES NOT MORTGAGE OR OTHERWISE PLEDGE ANY SYSTEM PROPERTIES. NO DEBT SERVICE RESERVE REQUIREMENT The [Thirteenth] Supplemental Indenture provides that there will be no Debt Service Reserve Requirement for the Series 2025 Bonds. Certain of the Outstanding Parity Bonds have a covenant to fund a debt service reserve fund for the related bonds under certain circumstances. However, if funded, such debt service reserves will not secure the Series 2025 Bonds. FLOW OF FUNDS The Revenues are to be deposited by the City in the Revenue Fund. On or before the fourth Business Day prior to the end of each month, after the payment of unpaid Operation and Maintenance Costs then due, the City will transfer from the Revenue Fund, to the extent of money available therein, and deposit into the following Fund and Accounts the amounts set forth below: (a) in the Principal and Interest Fund (i) for credit to the Bond Service Account, the amount, if any, required so that the balance therein meets the Debt Service requirements on any outstanding Bonds (provided that if there are not sufficient moneys in the Revenue Fund to satisfy the requirements of this provision (i) with respect to all Series Subaccounts in the Bond Service Account, all moneys available for distribution among such Series Subaccounts will be deposited into the Bond Service Account and distributed pro rata based on the amount of the deficiencies to the deficient Series Subaccounts in the Bond Service -14- Account, and provided further, there shall be allowances for amounts transferred from the Construction Fund to pay capitalized interest); and (ii) for credit to the Debt Service Reserve Account, such amounts as are required by the Master Indenture and any Supplemental Indenture for each Series of Bonds (provided that if there are not sufficient moneys in the Revenue Fund to satisfy the requirements of this provision (ii) all moneys available for distribution among the Series Subaccounts in the Debt Service Reserve Account will be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account and distributed pro rata based on the amount of deficiencies to the deficient Series Subaccounts in the Debt Service Reserve Account) (see “APPENDIX B—Flow of Funds”); and (b) in the Renewal and Replacement Fund the amounts necessary to fund the Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement. The Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement currently is $0. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no deposits will be required into the Principal and Interest Fund so long as there is held in the Principal and Interest Fund an amount sufficient to pay in full all outstanding Bonds in accordance with their terms. Amounts remaining in the Revenue Fund at the end of each month after payment of the amounts set forth above may be applied by the City, free and clear of the lien of the Indenture, to any lawful purpose of the City. It has been the City Council’s practice to keep such amounts for use within the System. For a more detailed discussion of the flow of funds under the Indenture, please see “Flow of Funds” in APPENDIX B. RATE COVENANT The City covenants in the Master Indenture that for so long as any Bonds remain outstanding the City will establish and collect rates and charges for System services that, together with other available income from the System, are reasonably expected to produce Net Revenues for the forthcoming Fiscal Year (i) equal to at least (a) 1.25 times the Aggregate Debt Service for such forthcoming Fiscal Year on all Bonds outstanding and (b) the Repayment Obligations, if any, that are due and payable during the forthcoming Fiscal Year and (ii) sufficient to fund the Debt Service Reserve Account at the times, rates and in the manner specified in the Master Indenture (collectively, the “Rate Covenant Requirement”). See “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES” herein. OUTSTANDING PARITY BONDS The Outstanding Parity Bonds are outstanding under the Master Indenture in the total aggregate principal amount of $899,910,000, which includes $__________ of the total $348.635 million WIFIA Loan (Series 2020B Bonds) which has been drawn to date. The Series 2025 Bonds, the Outstanding Parity Bonds, and any Additional Bonds hereafter issued pursuant to the provisions of the Master Indenture are equally and ratably secured under the terms of the Master Indenture. -15- ADDITIONAL BONDS Additional Bonds may be issued under the Master Indenture by the City only upon the satisfaction of various conditions specified in the Master Indenture. The amount of Additional Bonds that may be issued under the Master Indenture is not limited by law or the Master Indenture.

Each Supplemental Indenture authorizing the issuance of a Series of Bond Anticipation Notes (i) shall specify the Project for which the proceeds of such Series of Bond Anticipation Notes will be applied, and (ii) may require the City to deposit a specified amount of money from the proceeds of the sale of such Series of Bond Anticipation Notes into a Project Account in the Construction Fund to pay when due all or a portion of the interest on such Series of Bond Anticipation Notes accrued and to accrue to the Estimated Completion, plus interest to accrue on such Series of Bond Anticipation Notes after the Estimated Completion Date for up to one Year (or such different period as may then be permitted by law. If so provided in the Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of any Series of Bond Anticipation Notes, the payment of the Principal Installments on such Bond Anticipation Notes shall be subject to the prior lien and charge created in the Indenture for the payment of the Bonds out of the Principal and Interest Fund. As of the date of issuance of any Series of Bond Anticipation Notes, the aggregate Principal amount of all outstanding Bond Anticipation Notes (including such Series) shall never exceed the Principal amount of a hypothetical Series of Bonds which could be issued by the City on such date in compliance with the provisions described above for construction Bonds, having an assumed final maturity of 30 years, bearing an assumed rate of interest equal to the highest rate then borne by any outstanding Bond Anticipation Notes and having Debt Service due in each Fiscal Year in approximately equal amounts; provided that if no Series of Bond Anticipation Notes are then Outstanding under the Indenture, the interest rate used for purposes of the calculation shall be the interest rate borne by the Series of Bond Anticipation Notes to be issued. For a discussion on plans for the issuance of Additional Bonds, please see “THE CITY – Future Debt Plans” herein. THE SYSTEM THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC UTILITIES General. The Department of Public Utilities of the City (the “Department”) is responsible for the administration and maintenance of the System, which, for purposes of the Indenture, consists of the following utilities and their separate systems: water, sewer, stormwater, and street lighting. Each utility serves as a separate enterprise fund; provided, however, under the Indenture the combined revenues of each of the utilities have been pledged for the payment of the Bonds. -18- The Department is under the administration of the Mayor, who receives input from the Public Utilities Advisory Committee. PUBLIC UTILITIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE Policy input is provided to the Mayor by a nine-member Public Utilities Advisory Committee (“PUAC”), which was formed in 1980. Committee members represent City and County customers with regard to rate structures, annual budgets, capital improvements and watershed protection.

The Department plans System rates on a five-year rolling basis after evaluating projected Revenues, long-term capital improvement plans, and other factors. Proposed rate increases are developed during the annual budget process in consultation with PUAC. Upon recommendation by PUAC, the annual budget including proposed rate increases is submitted to the Mayor for review and subsequent recommendation to the City Council for its approval. The Department solicits feedback from System customers regarding proposed rate increases and shares responses with the City Council. The Department’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2025 included a __% rate increase for the Water, Sewer, and Stormwater Utilities, which was approved by the City Council and became effective on July 1, 2024. For historical and projected rate adjustments, see “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.” The City Council has generally been supportive of previous System rate increases. However, the City cannot predict how the City Council will vote on future rate increases. -20- BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCEDURES The Department bills for all services provided by the System in one combined, monthly bill. Also included in the monthly bill are other City services, such as garbage collection, recycling, and transit passes. All payments from customers are allocated based on percentage of charges and customers cannot choose to pay one charge for any particular utility over another. By City ordinance, outstanding or delinquent customer accounts are considered water fees and as such, water service would be denied until delinquent customers bring their account balance current or fully paid. Historically, delinquent accounts (defined as outstanding balances greater than 90 days) have averaged less than 1% of outstanding accounts receivable. WATER UTILITY General. In the 2023 calendar year, the Water Utility provided water to a population of more than ________ people through more than ________ connections with an approximate per capita consumption in the 2023 calendar year of ____ gallons per day. Unlike other parts of the System which only service the City, the Water Utility service area includes the corporate limits of the City and other portions of Salt Lake County covering an area of over ____ square miles. The service area outside the City begins at the southern corporate limits of the City and extends to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon on the south and is bounded by the Wasatch Mountains on the east and approximately 1300 East Street on the west. The Water Utility includes three primary water sources (some with multiple subsources, including 26 deep wells, several streams, and reservoirs), three water treatment plants, seven raw water storage reservoirs with a collective capacity of approximately 22,100 acre-feet (“AF”), 22 distribution reservoirs with a collective capacity of approximately 96 million gallons (“MG”), 10 storage tanks which have a collective capacity of 7.6 MG, and an interconnecting network of approximately [1,320] miles of distribution and transmission lines to link the numerous facilities with the customers. The City estimates that the weighted average age of the water lines is about 58 years. Sources and Supplies of Water. The City obtains the principal portion of its water supply from (a) direct stream flows (Big Cottonwood Creek, Little Cottonwood Creek, Parley’s Creek and City Creek located adjacent or in close proximity to the City) and (b) reservoir storage in Deer Creek Reservoir on the Provo River in Wasatch County and Mountain Dell and Little Dell Reservoirs located in Parley’s Canyon in Salt Lake County. All the reservoirs store water collected from the watersheds and annual snowfall in the Wasatch Mountains directly east of the City. The Department also has ownership in wells and springs and other water rights and contracts such as the contract with Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy (“MWD”) pursuant to which MWD provides water for purchase to both the City and Sandy City, Utah (“Sandy”). The Central Utah Project (“CUP”), which is managed by the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, allows MWD to provide 20,000 AF each year to both the City and Sandy. Sandy can purchase up to 7,940 AF through MWD of the allotment. Direct Appropriations. The City has direct appropriation rights for water delivered out of City Creek, Red Butte, Emigration, Parleys, Mill Creek, Big Cottonwood, and Little Cottonwood Creeks and filings to 108 cubic feet per second of ground water in Salt Lake Valley (which is equal -21- to a withdrawal rate of 18,000 AF per year). Approximately 9 to 15% of the City’s water comes from wells and springs depending on natural variability of stream flows, climate, and water demand each year. Water Right Purchases and Exchange Contracts. The City has acquired significant water rights to the following streams through water rights purchases and water exchange contracts: Big Cottonwood Creek, Little Cottonwood Creek, Mill Creek, and Parley’s Creek. The exchange contracts convey the water rights of these streams to the City in exchange for providing irrigation water during the irrigation season from water held by the City in Utah Lake and other sources. The City entered into the first exchange agreement in 1888 with owners of Parley’s Creek, providing non-culinary Utah Lake and other water through the Jordan and Salt Lake City Canal for the high-quality mountain water. Subsequently, similar exchanges were made with the previous water right holders of Mill Creek, Big Cottonwood Creek and Little Cottonwood Creek. The duration of each of these contracts is in perpetuity as long as the specified quantity of irrigation water is supplied during the irrigation season. Over time the City, through policy, has purchased irrigation companies or become the majority shareholder, which has reduced the City’s exchange contract obligations. The City continues to implement this policy. MWD Contracts. MWD was organized and functions as a wholesale provider of water to the City and Sandy. Accordingly, the City obtains treated water from MWD for distribution in the City’s service area. For more information regarding MWD, see “Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy” below. MWD’s primary sources of water are the Provo River Project (the “PRP”), the CUP, and the Little Dell Reservoir, each as more fully discussed below. MWD’s Little Cottonwood Treatment Plant also treats the City’s Little Cottonwood Creek water. MWD owns 61.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Provo River Water Users Association (“PRWUA”) stock, which entitles it to 61.7% (approximately 61,700 AF) of the water available for allotment each water year to PRWUA shareholders from the PRP, a federal reclamation project. PRWUA shares are fully assessable and such assessments to the PRWUA shareholders are expected to increase in the future because of several significant PRWUA capital improvement projects. The projected PRWUA assessments were taken into account in projecting future MWD water rates, as described below. Sandy has the preferential right to purchase up to 7,940 AF of the water available to MWD under existing MWD rights to PRP and CUP water. The City has the preferential right to purchase all PRP and CUP water available under existing MWD rights that has not been allocated to Sandy. To the extent that either the City or Sandy does not exercise its preferential right to purchase MWD water, the other city has the right to do so in preference to all others. MWD may sell any surplus water to others. The City and MWD each own interests in water rights that allow water to be stored in the Little Dell Reservoir. The City treats and is entitled to all City and MWD water from Little Dell Reservoir. Existing Water Sources. The City’s existing water supply comes from a number of different sources. For planning purposes, the City’s sources have been grouped into two primary categories: (a) Surface Water Sources and (b) Ground Water Sources. -22- Surface Water Sources. The City owns or controls water rights in several surface water sources. This includes surface water treated at the following City-owned and operated treatment plants: Big Cottonwood Water Treatment Plant (“BCWTP”), Parleys Water Treatment Plant (“Parleys WTP”), and City Creek Water Treatment Plant (“CCWTP”). The City also owns most of the water rights in Little Cottonwood Creek, which is treated at the MWD’s Little Cottonwood Water Treatment Plant (“LCWTP”). Based on the City’s current 40-year water supply and demand plan, the combined projected annual yield of these sources is [40,820] AF (dry year) and [59,500] AF (average year). The City also holds surface water rights in Red Butte, Emigration, and Mill Creeks, Utah Lake, and the Jordan River. Those water rights are put to beneficial use to meet exchange contract deliveries for irrigation water. Mill Creek water rights are also held for future culinary water sources, as described below. Finally, the City has substantial interest in surface water sources via PRP and CUP through its contractual relationship with MWD. The yield of water stores in PRP is estimated to be 53,760 AF (average year) and [18,900] AF (dry year). The available CUP supply is 20,000 acre-feet in both average and dry years, which is contractually defined. [The City also recently petitioned CUCWD for CUP water through the Utah Lake System (“ULS”) through MWD and began receiving 3,100 acre-feet of ULS water in 2021.] City Groundwater Sources. The City owns water rights for a number of groundwater sources. For evaluation purposes, these sources have been broken into two categories: Base Wells and Springs – The City has a number of springs and artesian wells that require little or no pumping. Water from these sources is used year-round by the City. The estimated average annual production of these sources is [7,500] AF. That figure is for both average and dry water years. Peaking Wells – All remaining groundwater sources owned by the City are generally used only during the summer months to meet peak demands. Annual production from these wells will vary significantly based on needs. [In average years, the estimated yield of these wells is 4,400 AF. The estimated maximum of the wells in dry years is 10,400 AF]. [Combining both categories of groundwater sources results in an average year yield of 11,900 AF and a maximum dry year yield of 17,900 AF.] Potential New Water Sources. In 2019, the City completed an updated water supply and demand plan through the year 2060. The City is currently considering the following potential new sources: new well development, additional surface water development, wastewater reuse, and additional Little Dell water rights. The City has also included more aggressive water conservation goals and impacts of climate change to water supply and demand when considering both existing and new sources of water. -23- New Groundwater Development. To meet future demands, the City has planned for the development of additional wells at various locations throughout its System and the rehabilitation of existing wells at higher capacities. [The City estimates development of new groundwater sources will yield up to 12,000 AF annually of additional ground water in dry years. In average years, it has been assumed that yields would be limited to 3,000 AF.] Additional Surface Water Development. Another potential new supply the City is exploring is development of additional surface water sources. This could include construction of a treatment plant to treat water from Millcreek Canyon. The City would like to develop additional surface water sufficient to produce at least 3,300 AF during dry years. Based on historical flow records for Millcreek, that development would equate to an estimated average year yield of 3,967 AF. Wastewater Reuse. The City has an interest in pursuing opportunities for wastewater reuse. Probable reuse opportunities currently being studied include irrigation of two large golf courses and a park area near the City’s wastewater treatment plant. Alternatively, wastewater may also be reused to improve inflows to Great Salt Lake, which has been impacted by diversions and drought. Initial City plans for wastewater reuse for irrigation purposes would produce approximately 4,200 AF annually and production would be constant in both dry and average water years. Aquifer Storage and Recovery (“ASR”). The City, in conjunction with Sandy and MWD, is investigating the use of ASR. This option would use high spring runoff in the City’s water sources that currently arrives during a period when supply is in excess of demand (early spring). The water would be stored in the aquifer for use during dry years. The projected annual volume available to the City would be 5,900 AF in dry years. Estimated Total Dry Year Yield. The City estimates water yield based on conservatively calculated dry year production of each of its water sources, taking into account historic flows, available storage, and available treatment capacity for each of the water treatment plants. For current water sources, the estimated annual dry year yield is 97,620 AF. The estimated annual dry year yield by 2050 of current and future water sources is estimated to be over 126,120 AF. City water supplies have exceeded customer demands in the past and water supply is expected to meet the anticipated demands for future years. -24- The table below summarizes the various sources of water used by the City for the last five fiscal years in acre feet (AF).

Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy. MWD is a metropolitan water district formed in 1935 under the Metropolitan Water District Act, Title 17B, Chapter 2a, Part 6, Utah Code, to provide supplemental wholesale water to the City and Sandy. The City was the sole member of MWD until Sandy became a part of MWD in 1990. MWD is governed by an independent, seven-person Board of Trustees, five of whom are appointed by the Salt Lake City Council and two of whom are appointed by Sandy. MWD owns and operates, or has capacity rights in, water treatment plants, aqueducts, a water reservoir and other facilities. MWD’s mission is to acquire water rights or acquire, construct or operate, control and use various facilities (each, a “MWD Project”) for the transportation or treatment of water for the benefit of the City and Sandy. The Board of Trustees of MWD, after consultation with the City and Sandy, determines the scope of any MWD Project, the costs of such MWD Project, and whether or not to proceed with an MWD Project. Depending on the nature of the MWD Project and subject to the 2001 Interlocal Agreement (as defined below), the costs of such MWD Project are recovered by MWD through (a) annual assessments charged to the City and Sandy or (b) from (i) the ad valorem property tax MWD is authorized to levy, (ii) the rates MWD charges the City and Sandy for the purchase of water, or (iii) any combination of (i) or (ii). Annual assessments are charged in proportion to the supply, treatment and/or conveyance capacities from an MWD Project that are committed on a preferential basis to the City and Sandy. -25- Pursuant to an Interlocal Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2001 (the “2001 Interlocal Agreement”), among MWD, the City and Sandy have the first right to determine the allocation of the preferential rights to capacity or supply from an MWD Project. However, in the event that the City and Sandy cannot agree to such allocation, MWD will allocate the preferential rights from an MWD Project to the City and Sandy. The MWD Board of Trustees sets MWD water rates, after consultation with the City and Sandy. Preliminary projections of MWD’s water rates are based upon a number of assumptions regarding future contingencies, including assumptions regarding PRWUA assessments, MWD water sales, MWD tax revenues and costs of labor and supplies. The preliminary projections of MWD water rates have been included in the City’s estimated costs of sales and services contained under the caption “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.” For further discussion of MWD’s water rights, certain proposed MWD Projects and currently anticipated annual assessments, see “Sources and Supplies of Water” above and “Water Treatment Capacity” below. Water Treatment Capacity. The following table shows the treatment capacity in million gallons per day (“MGD”) available to the City through its three water treatment plants (at City Creek, Parley’s Canyon, and Big Cottonwood Canyon), LCWTP, the City’s share of MWD’s Point of the Mountain Water Treatment Plant (“POMWTP”), MWD’s share of the capacity of the Jordan Valley Water Treatment Plant (“JVWTP”), which is operated by Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, and wells and springs: WATER TREATMENT CAPACITY Treatment Plant Treatment Capacity (MGD) City Creek Parley’s Big Cottonwood MWD: LCWTP(1) POMWTP(1) JVWTP(1) Wells/Springs(2) Total City Portion _______________ (1) Amounts shown are total plant capacity and City portion of such total plant capacity (e.g. 150 MGD total treatment capacity, of which 125 MGD is available to the City), if such capacity is available. (2) Amount shown for wells/springs represents the amount of potable water available to the City from its wells and springs and does not require treatment. [In 2007, MWD enlarged the water treatment capacity of LCWTP to approximately 150 MGD and finished construction of the POMWTP (70 MGD capacity). Pursuant to the 2001 Interlocal Agreement, the costs of enlarging the LCWTP were recovered by MWD through the ad -26- valorem property tax that MWD levies and through charges (based on water rates) to the City and Sandy.] [Also] pursuant to the 2001 Interlocal Agreement, MWD charges the City and Sandy an annual assessment for certain new capital improvements, including POMWTP, the Point of the Mountain Aqueduct (“POMA”) which connects LCWTP and POMWTP, and certain other improvements. The capacities committed to the City and Sandy are preferential rights. Neither the City nor Sandy has an ownership interest in the facilities providing such capacities. The projected charges have been incorporated in the System’s estimated operating expenses shown in the table under the caption “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.” The City has a preferential right to 62.5% of POMWTP’s capacity and is responsible for 62.5% of the total annual assessment relating to such facility. The preferential capacity rights of each city in each section of POMA are described in the 2001 Interlocal Agreement. Currently, the City is being charged an annual assessment of approximately $7.1 million each year until 2034 for such capacity rights in POMWTP and POMA. The projected annual assessments have been incorporated in the System’s estimated operating expenses shown in the table under the caption “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.” It is anticipated that annual assessments for POMWTP and POMA will be charged to the City regardless of the quantity of water purchased from MWD or the actual amount of capacity provided by POMWTP and POMA; provided, however, to the extent that MWD uses any of the excess capacity from POMWTP or POMA to provide water to others, the City will be credited for a portion of its annual assessment. Pursuant to the Indenture, any annual assessment charged to the City under the 2001 Interlocal Agreement will be treated as an Operations and Maintenance Cost. City Water Supply and Demand. The City projects culinary water demand based on a drought condition scenario and includes growth projections from the City and other governmental agencies as well as other factors such as climate change. The City has projected culinary water production versus supply out to the year 2060. The City’s existing water resources, together with the potential new water sources discussed above will be sufficient to meet future demand scenarios. City Water Consumption. The following table summarizes City water demand for the last five fiscal years in terms of water consumption in millions of gallons (MG) and in acre-feet (AF), estimated equivalent population served, and the corresponding estimated per capita water consumption in gallons per day. Fiscal Year Total Consumption (MG/AF)(1) Estimated Equivalent Population Served Per Capita Consumption (Gallons Per Day) 2019 23,954/73,512 356,677 184 2020 24,425/74,956 360,654 186 2021 25,128/77,116 364,982 188 2022 2023 (1) One million gallons is equivalent to 3.069 acre-feet. -27- Major Water Facility Users.

Created by the City in 1979 to meet EPA regulations and address infrastructure needs, the Sewer Utility serves approximately [110] square miles of the City. The Sewer Utility presently contains over [656] miles of sanitary sewer pipe, various sewage lift stations and a pretreatment and biological treatment plant. The City estimates that the weighted average age of the sewer lines in the Sewer Utility is over 65 years. The SLCWRF, portions of which are over 60 years old, was constructed with a capacity of 45 MGD and was upgraded to 56 MGD in 1986. The SLCWRF currently provides wastewater treatment to EPA secondary effluent standards by incorporating a “Trickling Filter/Activated Sludge” process and chlorine disinfection. Following treatment, water is discharged into the City’s Northwest Drain Canal and flows directly to Farmington Bay of the Great Salt Lake. At the 2021 National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) Utility Leadership Conference, the SLCWRF was recognized for 28 years of complete and consistent National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit compliance. The Sewer Utility serves an estimated population of approximately 209,593 within the municipal corporate limits of the City through approximately [50,310] connections. The daytime population increases significantly to over [300,000]. By industry standards, the calculated population equivalent served by the Sewer Utility and SLCWRF is more than [340,000]. The SLCWRF treated a monthly average flow of 28.75 MGD and a monthly peak flow of 30.81 MGD in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 and is currently in compliance with its NPDES Permit. The SLCWRF currently has a [56] MGD capacity. The City believes that the SLCWRF has adequate capacity to meet the City’s present needs and is planning to meet future demand. See “System Capital Financing Programs–Sewer Capital Financing Program” herein. City Wastewater Treatment. The following chart shows the wastewater treatment at the Treatment Plant for each of the past five fiscal years: Fiscal Year Flow Average (MGD) TBOD (1) (mg per liter) TSS (2) (mg per liter) 2023 2022 2021 28.78 7.7 10.8 2020 32.38 11.1 11.3 2019 34.13 13.2 13.9 (1) Total Biochemical Oxygen Demand (“TBOD”) represents the amount of oxygen used by microorganisms in the aerobic biological process as they consume organic material. The TBOD test measures the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic decomposers to break down the organic materials in each volume of wastewater over a period of five days. The City’s current effluent permit limit for TBOD is 25 milligrams per liter (“mg/L”). (2) The City’s current effluent permit limit for Total Suspended Solids (“TSS”) is 25 mg/L. -30- Major Sewer Facility Users. The following table summarizes the City’s top ten Sewer Utility users for fiscal year 2024 in terms of sewer charges and percentage of total sewer sales: {To be updated by the City.} User Type Annual Billing % of Total Annual Billing Tesoro Petroleum Industrial $3,091,127 6.05% University of Utah School, Charity, Hospital 2,802,386 5.48 Meadow Gold Dairies Business 1,130,780 2.21 WWF Operating Company Business 829,731 1.62 Sweet Candy Company Business 771,622 1.51 The Sun Products Corp Industrial 740,679 1.45 Grand America Hotel Hotel 555,725 1.09 Thatcher Company Business 359,892 0.70 SLC Dept of Airports Business 357,590 0.70 VA Medical Center Hospital 339,066 0.66 Total $10,978,598 21.47% Sewer Rates. The City’s current sewer rates, which have been in effect since July 2024, are summarized below. For historical and projected rate adjustments, see “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.” (a) Minimum charge per month: $14.12 per residential unit, or $7.06 per ccf of average monthly water meter reading of those using solely City water during the consecutive months of November through March inclusive each year (average winter usage), whichever is higher. (b) Commercial customers discharging waste strength between 300 mg/l and 1,800 mg/l of biological demand or total suspended solids will be charged $9.17 per ccf to $21.81 per ccf depending on strength of waste. Customers discharging greater than 1,800 mg/l of biological oxygen demand or total suspended solids will be charged based on actual pounds of chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, and/or total suspended solids. (c) Users having more than one water meter, one or more of which measures water eventually discharged into the Sewer Facility and one or more other meters measuring water not entering the Sewer Facility, will be charged $7.06 per ccf for all water used which may enter the sewer, but will not be assessed a sewer charge on water meter(s) which measure water, no part of which flows into the sewer system. (d) For those not using City water or using some City water, the City may require a City- approved meter, at the sewer user’s expense, on the well(s) or other source(s) of water supply for measurement by the City during said months, the average of which shall become the basis for sewer billings for said period. Sewer Utility Connection Fees. The City charges a fee to connect to the Sewer Facilities. A schedule of such fees is shown below. These charges may change from time to time as capital improvement or other programs are implemented at the various entities. {To be updated by the City.} -31- Sewer Utility – Connection Fees Type Fee Residential single dwelling, and condominium, per connection or unit $545 Multi-family dwellings: Duplex 818 Triplex 1,226 Townhouse (apartment) per unit 409 Hotels and motels Per dwelling unit without kitchen or restaurant 273 Per dwelling unit with a kitchen and/or restaurant 363 General commercial and industrial uses, per each equivalent fixture unit 27 Trailer parks, per equivalent fixture unit (3 trailer spaces equal 1 equivalent fixture unit) 545 Recreation parks, per equivalent fixture unit (6 trailer spaces equal 1 equivalent fixture unit) 545 Special industrial and commercial uses (including car washes, laundromats, etc.), per equivalent fixture unit, as specified in the Uniform Plumbing Code 27 STORMWATER UTILITY General. In June 1991, the City Council created the Stormwater Utility to improve drainage and to meet EPA rules and regulations. The Stormwater Utility is a drainage system physically separate and distinct from the Sewer Utility. The Stormwater Utility includes approximately [350] miles of storm drain pipe, [45] miles of open channel ditches and [26] pump stations. The Department has completed Part 1 and Part 2 of the Utah Pollution Discharge Elimination System (MS4) permit application for discharges from municipal separate storm sewer systems in accordance with EPA regulations 40 CFR Section 122.21 and 122.26. Major Stormwater Facility Users. The following table summarizes the City’s top ten Stormwater Facility users for fiscal year 2024 in terms of stormwater charges and percentage of total stormwater sales: {To be updated by the City.} User Type Annual Billing % of Total Annual Billing University of Utah School, Hospital $344,014 3.21% City Department of Airports Municipal Business 195,631 1.82 Utah Power Business 55,879 0.52 VA Medical Center Hospital 52,640 0.49 Union Pacific Railroad Business 52,630 0.49 Utah State Fair Corp Business 48,170 0.45 SLCWRF Municipal Business 34,946 0.33 Woodman, Ron Industrial 34,855 0.32 Bay Bridge/Corporate LLC Business 32,572 0.30 AFRC Business 31,129 0.29 Total $882,466 8.22% -32- Stormwater Rates. Single family homes provide the basis for the rate in that the average amount of impervious area on a single-family residence is 2,500 square feet or 1 equivalent service unit. The City’s current stormwater rate, in effect since July 2024, charges single-family homes a rate of $8.33 per month. All non-single-family parcels pay a multiple of this base rate according to their measured impervious area. Businesses, industrial, commercial and tax-exempt properties pay a multiple of the single-family fee. The amount depends upon the impervious area (such as parking lots, roofs and pavement). The City also charges $[374] per 1/4 acre for connection to the Stormwater Utility on all new development within City boundaries. This connection fee must be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. STREET LIGHTING UTILITY The Street Lighting Utility consists of approximately [15,840] street lights. The City provides a “base level” of lighting, which includes standard light poles placed at the end of each block and mid-block section. This is funded through a fee (the “Basic Service Fee”) charged to properties on City utility bills. The Basic Service Fee is assessed monthly to each property and is based on the number of Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs) for each property. Based on the average residential street frontage of 75 feet, all residential, duplex, and triplex properties are assessed one ERU. Commercial and institutional properties are assessed one ERU for every 75 feet of street frontage. As of June 30, 2024, there are approximately [74,000] ERUs in the City subject to the Basic Service Fee. In addition to the Basic Service Fee, some areas of the City, such as the Central Business District, have a higher level of service. These areas are considered to have an “enhanced” level of service and this higher level of service is paid for by the property owners who are benefitted by it. “Enhanced Lighting Fees” were established July 1, 2016. As of June 30, 2024, there were approximately [3,780] Enhanced Lighting Fee accounts and approximately [4,785] enhanced service ERUs. As of July 1, 2024, the average monthly charge for an Enhanced Lighting customer is $26.39. The Enhanced Lighting Fee ensures that decorative lights are properly and regularly maintained, that they are upgraded for energy efficiency, and that costs are paid for by the property owners in those areas. The Enhanced Lighting Fee includes three types of service groups based on type of light and anticipated needed capital expenditures as shown below. -33- Street Lighting Rates Service Fee Note Basic Service Fee City-wide $4.51 Per ERU Per month. No bills shall be less than 1 ERU Enhanced Lighting Fees Group 1 Decorative Lights – High Efficiency(1) $6.68 per ERU Per month – residential Group 2 Decorative Lights(2) $19.28 per ERU Per month – residential Group 3 Decorative Multi-Head Lights(3) $53.02 per ERU Per month – commercial (1) Group 1 rates apply to the existing, predominantly residential properties with more closely spaced enhanced decorative lights; lights are generally energy efficient and large capital expenditures are not expected within the next three fiscal years. (2) Group 2 rates apply to the existing, predominantly residential properties with a number of enhanced decorate lights; many lights require energy efficiency upgrades and wiring projects. (3) Group 3 rates apply to the existing properties in the predominantly commercial areas with a number of enhanced decorative lights. SYSTEM CAPITAL FINANCING PROGRAMS {TO BE UPDATED BY THE CITY.} Water Capital Financing Program. The water capital financing program has funded more than $336 million in improvements since 2001, primarily on a pay-as-you-go basis. Major capital improvements have included waterline replacements, groundwater well rehabilitation, upgrades to existing treatment plants, and upgrading existing reservoirs and storage tanks to meet current seismic standards. As a result of these ongoing capital investments, the City has been able to accommodate continuous growth, address aging and new infrastructure needs, and manage its water resources effectively. In addition, these improvements help the City to continue to exceed all Safe Drinking Act requirements from the source water to the distribution system. The City plans to continue a robust capital improvement program for the Water Utility funded primarily by proceeds from rate increases. The Series 2025 Project includes upgrades to the distribution system, a portion of which supports the City’s road reconstruction program, water treatment plant projects, storage facilities, and master plan projects. See “THE SERIES 2025 PROJECT” herein. Sewer Capital Financing Program. In 2001, the City Council adopted a six-year, $57 million capital improvement program to upgrade the SLCWRF and sewage collection system. The projects were initially funded with approximately $22 million of bonds in 2004 (which were refunded by the Series 2012 Bonds) with additional funding coming from cash reserves and approved sewer rate increases on a pay-as- you-go basis. Improvements exceeding $214 million have been funded on a pay-as-you go-basis since 2001. The Series 2009 Bonds were issued as part of economic stimulus funding by the State which funded the replacement of the digester cover and walls at the SLCWRF. In addition to refunding certain outstanding bonds, the Series 2012 Bonds also funded over $6.0 million in improvements to the reclamation facility and the collections system. In December 2016, final review was completed of an extensive water reclamation facility master plan update. Due to the new State nutrient treatment requirements and the age of the existing facility, the master plan developed a path forward to comply with the new requirements while replacing much of the almost 60-year old SLCWRF with an updated treatment process. The Series 2017 Bonds were used to facilitate the expansion of the capacity of the sewer -34- collection system by allowing flow balancing within the system and construction of master planned projects. The Series 2020, Series 2022 Bonds and the Series 2025 Bonds are funding a portion of the SLCWRF master plan implementation. Approximately 49% of the improvements to the SLCWRF are being funded from the WIFIA Loan (Series 2020B Bonds). Stormwater Capital Financing Program. The stormwater capital program has funded over $81 million in capital improvements since 2002. Most of these improvements have been funded on a pay-as-you-go basis; however, bonds issued in 2004 (refunded by the Series 2012 Bonds) were issued to fund a new stormwater trunk line, and the Series 2011 Bonds funded the Folsom Avenue stormwater project and other various stormwater improvements. Proceeds of the Series 2020 Bonds financed the City’s road reconstruction program including investment in green infrastructure and stormwater improvements. Street Lighting Capital Financing Program. Accounting for City street lighting was removed from the City’s general fund and established as a separate enterprise fund in January 2013. This restructuring provides reliable funding for the Street Lighting Utility. Since becoming an enterprise fund the Department has improved the overall condition of this Utility. More than 60% of the City streetlights are now considered energy efficient. A Street Lighting Master Plan was completed and adopted by the City Council in December 2021. It provides guidance for future streetlight installations based on street type and locations in the City. Improvements exceeding $8 million have been funded since 2013. The Series 2017 Bonds financed wiring replacements and upgrades to high efficiency lamps in the enhanced service areas. No new bond monies are requested for this utility at this time. The Department will continue system improvements from pay-as-you-go rate revenues with plans to spend about $2.2 million annually on Street Lighting improvements to enhance service and energy savings over the next four fiscal years beginning in fiscal year 2025. A rate study is planned to address additional funding needs to implement some master plan elements. Historical and Projected Capital Project Expenditures.

EMPLOYEE WORKFORCE AND RETIREMENT SYSTEM {TO BE UPDATED BY THE CITY.} The City currently employs approximately [3,150 ] full-time employees and approximately [462] hourly and part-time employees for a total employment of approximately [3,612] employees. Through the Utah Retirement System (“URS”), the City participates in six separate pension trust funds consisting of (a) three multiple employer public employees retirement systems or funds, (b) one multiple-employer agent system or fund and (c) two multiple employer cost sharing public employees retirement systems or funds, each of which is a defined benefit retirement plan covering public employees of the State and employees of participating local governmental entities (the “Funds”). The Funds are administered under the direction of the Utah State Retirement Board whose members are appointed by the Governor of the State. The City also participates in four defined contribution savings plans with URS, including a 401(k) plan, a 457(b) plan, a Roth IRA plan and a traditional IRA plan. RETIREMENT LIABILITY URS is funded and administered by the State. Each year, as approved by the State Legislature, URS sets rates, enacts rules, and implements policies related to the pensions and benefits the City retirees receive through each of the Funds. Starting in Fiscal Year 2015, GASB Statement Number 68 requires URS to pass on pension and retirement liability to public entities it serves, including the City. Working with the City’s independent auditors and State specialists, the City’s financial statements for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2024 show a net pension liability in the amount of $__________ for one of the Funds and total net pension assets in the other five -43- Funds of $__________. As each Fund is a separate trust fund, the assets in one Fund cannot be used to cover the liabilities in another. Additional information regarding the City’s retirement system can be found in the City’s financial statements, which are available on the City’s website. NO OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS The City does not offer post-employment benefits; however, the City’s library system (the “Library”) provides certain employees with post-employment health care benefits through a single employer defined benefit plan. The benefits are paid on a “pay-as-you-go” basis from the Library’s general fund and can be amended or terminated at any time. -44- DEBT STRUCTURE OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH OUTSTANDING DEBT ISSUES (EXPECTED AS OF CLOSING DATE OF THE BONDS) (1) AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL ISSUE FINAL MATURITY DATE PRINCIPAL OUTSTANDING General Obligation Bonds: Series 2010B (Public Safety Facilities) $100,000,000 6/15/2031 $ 39,915,000 Series 2015A Refunding (Federally Taxable Sports Complex) 14,615,000 6/15/2028 4,655,000 Series 2017B Refunding (Refunded portion of Series 2010A) 12,920,000 6/15/2030 8,410,000 Series 2019 Improvement and Refunding (Refunded a portion of Series 2017A) 22,840,000 6/15/2039 13,475,000 Series 2020 (Streets) 17,745,000 6/15/2040 11,700,000 Series 2021 (Streets) 20,660,000 6/15/2041 15,620,000 Series 2022 (Streets) 21,785,000 6/15/2042 18,715,000 Series 2023 (Federally Taxable) (2) 24,765,000 6/15/2043 23,850,000 Total $136,340,000 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds: Series 2009 (Federally Taxable) $ 6,300,000 2/1/2031 $ 1,890,000 Series 2010 Revenue Bonds 12,000,000 2/1/2031 4,135,000 Series 2011 Revenue Bonds 8,000,000 2/1/2027 1,150,000 Series 2012 Improvement and Refunding Bonds 28,565,000 2/1/2027 1,170,000 Series 2017 Improvement and Refunding Bonds 72,185,000 2/1/2037 51,255,000 Series 2020 Improvement Bonds 157,390,000 2/1/2050 154,215,000 Series 2020B Improvement Bonds (WIFIA loan) (3) 348,635,000 8/1/2058 13,112,999 Series 2022A Improvement Bonds 329,025,000 2/1/2052 323,195,000 Series 2024A Improvement Bonds 39,525,000 2/1/2064 39,525,000 Series 2025 Improvement Bonds 329,025,000* 2/1/2052 180,315,000* Total $769,962,999* Sales and Excise Tax Revenue Bonds: Series 2014B $10,935,000 10/1/2034 $ 6,410,000 Series 2016A 21,715,000 10/1/2028 9,565,000 Series 2019A 2,620,000 4/1/2027 975,000 Series 2019B (Federally Taxable) 58,540,000 4/1/2038 56,300,000 Series 2021 (Federally Taxable) 15,045,000 10/1/2034 13,065,000 Series 2022A 8,900,000 10/1/2032 7,050,000 Series 2022B 40,015,000 10/1/2042 40,015,000 Series 2022C (Federally Taxable) 24,240,000 10/1/2032 20,295,000 Total $153,675,000 Airport Revenue Bonds: Series 2017A $826,210,000 7/1/2047 $ 801,860,000 Series 2017B 173,790,000 7/1/2047 168,635,000 Series 2018A 753,855,000 7/1/2048 721,855,000 Series 2018B 96,695,000 7/1/2048 96,695,000 Series 2021A 776,925,000 7/1/2051 776,080,000 Series 2021B 127,645,000 7/1/2051 126,055,000 Series 2023(4) 600,000,000 7/1/2053 600,000,000 Total $3,291,180,000 Local Building Authority Lease Revenue Bonds(5): Series 2016A $6,755,000 4/15/2037 $ 4,940,000 Series 2017A 8,115,000 4/15/2038 6,630,000 Total $11,570,000 ______________________________ * Preliminary; subject to change. (1) The Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City, a separate entity, has issued bonds, but such bonds are not obligations of the City and are therefore not included in this table. See “APPENDIX B—SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022—Notes to the Financial Statements—Note 6–Long-Term Obligations.” (2) For the purposes of this Official Statement, the Series 2023 Bonds are considered issued and outstanding. (3) Amount shown is the amount drawn down from the WIFIA Loan as of the date of this Official Statement. (4) These bonds were issued on August 2, 2023. (5) The Local Building Authority of Salt Lake City is a separate entity. Lease Revenue Bonds are not obligations of the City, but are paid from annually appropriated rental payments made by the City. -45- FUTURE DEBT PLANS System Debt. Additional Bonds in the amount of approximately $304 million are expected to be issued over the next five years to fund the Department’s capital improvement program. A major focus of the Department’s budget is the rehabilitation and replacement of aging infrastructure. In addition to the Series 2025 Project, the Additional Bonds will fund improvements to three water treatment plants, phased construction of a new water conveyance line to expand service and provide redundancy, and water, sewer and stormwater utility infrastructure work necessitated by street improvement projects. As discussed herein, any Additional Bonds are secured by and payable from Net Revenues on a parity with the Series 2025 Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds. Other City Debt. A special bond election held on November 8, 2022 gave voter authorization to the City to issue up to $85 million in general obligation bonds to fund all or a portion of the costs of improving, renovating and upgrading various parks, trails, open space and related facilities and recreational amenities. The City has issued 24.765 million par amount of bonds from such authorization. The City anticipates issuing the remaining authorization within the next 12 months. The City is considering issuing sales and excise tax bonds to pay for various capital improvement projects. The par amount is estimated at $63 million. Such bonds will be secured by and payable from sales and excise tax revenues and not Net Revenues. The City analyzes the potential value of refunding bond issues, particularly during periods when debt service savings can be realized or on an as needed basis. The City plans to issue approximately $506 million in additional general airport revenue bonds in the future to complete the $4.1 billion airport reconstruction program. The reconstruction program is currently expected to be completed by 2025. Such bonds will be secured by and payable from revenues of the City’s airport system and not Net Revenues. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS General. {To be provided by the City.} NO DEFAULTED OBLIGATIONS The City has never failed to pay principal and interest when due on any of its bonds, notes or other financial obligations. -46- FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE CITY FUND STRUCTURE (ACCOUNTING BASIS) The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balance or net assets, revenues, and expenditures or expenses. The various funds are grouped by type in the basic financial statements. Revenues and expenditures are recognized using the modified accrual basis of accounting in all governmental funds. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available. “Measurable” means that amounts can be reasonably determined within the current period. “Available” means that amounts are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City uses 60 days as a cutoff for meeting the available criterion. Property taxes are considered “measurable” when levied and available when collected and held by Salt Lake County. Any amounts not available are recorded as delayed revenue. Franchise taxes are considered “measurable” when collected and held by the utility company and are recognized as revenue at that time. Other revenues that are determined to be susceptible to accrual include grants-in-aid earned and other intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, interest, assessments, interfund service charges, and proceeds of the sale of property. Property taxes and assessments are recorded as receivables when assessed; however, they are reported as delayed revenue until the “available” criterion has been met. Sales and use taxes collected by the State and remitted to the City within the “available” time period are recognized as revenue. Revenues collected in advance are delayed and recognized in the period to which they apply. In proprietary funds, revenues and expenses are recognized using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned and become measurable and expenses are recognized in the period incurred. FINANCIAL CONTROLS The City utilizes a computerized financial accounting system, which includes a system of budgetary controls. State law requires budgets to be controlled by individual departments, but the City also maintains computerized control by major categories within departments. These computerized controls are such that a requisition cannot be entered into the purchasing system unless the appropriated funds are available. The system checks for sufficient funds again, prior to the purchase order being issued, and again before the payment check is issued. Voucher payments are also controlled by the computer for sufficient appropriations. BUDGET AND APPROPRIATION PROCESS The budget and appropriation process of the City is governed by the Uniform Fiscal Procedures Act for Utah Cities, Title 10, Chapter 6, of the Utah Code (the “Fiscal Procedures -47- Act”). Pursuant to the Fiscal Procedures Act, the budget officer of the City is required to prepare budgets for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds and Capital Improvement Fund. These budgets are to provide a complete financial plan for the budget (ensuing fiscal) year. Each budget is required to specify, in tabular form, estimates of anticipated revenues and appropriations for expenditures. Under the Fiscal Procedures Act, the total of anticipated revenues must equal the total of appropriated expenditures. On or before the first regular meeting of the City Council in May of each year, the budget officer is required to submit to the City Council tentative budgets for all funds for the fiscal year commencing July 1. Various actual and estimated budget data are required to be set forth in the tentative budgets. The budget officer may revise the budget request submitted by the heads of City departments but must file these submissions with the City Council together with the tentative budget. The budget officer is required to estimate in the tentative budget the revenue from nonproperty tax sources available for each fund and the revenue from general property taxes required by each fund. The tentative budget is then provisionally adopted by the City Council, with any amendments or revisions that the City Council deems advisable prior to the public hearings on the tentative budget. After public notice and hearing, the tentative budget is adopted by the City Council, subject to further amendment or revisions by the City Council prior to adoption of the final budget. Prior to June 30th of each year, the final budgets for all funds are adopted by the City Council. The Fiscal Procedures Act prohibits the City Council from making any appropriation in the final budget of any fund in excess of the estimated expendable revenue of such fund. The adopted final budget is subject to amendment by the City Council during the fiscal year. However, in order to increase the budget total of any fund, public notice and hearing must be provided. Intra- and inter-department transfers of appropriation balances are permitted upon compliance with the Fiscal Procedures Act. The amount set forth in the final budget as the total amount of estimated revenue from property taxes constitutes the basis for determining the property tax levy to be set by the City Council for the succeeding tax year. INSURANCE COVERAGE The City is largely self-insured for general liability exposures, except for liability incurred on premises owned, rented, or occupied by the Department of Airports (the “Airport”) and cyber liability insurance. The Airport carries commercial general liability insurance with a $500,000,000 policy limit and no deductible. The Governmental Immunity Fund (an internal service fund) has been established to pay liability claims other than those covered by the Airport policy, along with certain litigation expenses. The City carries an all risk property insurance policy (the “Policy”) with a $500,000,000 aggregate limit and a $100,000 deductible, except for earthquake, which carries a 1% deductible per location; and flood, which carries a $250,000 or $500,000 deductible, depending on location. Sub-limits include: (1) earthquake limit of $125,000,000 aggregate; (2) flood limit of $100,000,000 aggregate; (3) dams and appurtenant structures limit of $30,000,000 aggregate -48- except for Mountain Dell, which carries a $60,000,000 aggregate limit; (4) business interruption and extra expense are covered at $10,000,000; and (5) terrorism loss is covered at $5,000,000. The City is self-insured for property loss above the limits and below the deductibles. The operating departments of the General Fund or proprietary funds assume financial responsibility for risk retained by the City for property damage. The Airport is covered by a separate all risk property insurance policy with a $1,000,000,000 limit, subject to sub-limits and a $100,000 deductible. Locations covered include Salt Lake City International Airport, South Valley Regional Airport, and Tooele Valley Airport. Equipment breakdown carries a deductible of $100,000. Flood carries a sub-limit of $150,000,000 and Earth movement carries sub-limit of $100,000,000 with a 1% deductible per unit, subject to a $100,000 minimum and $5,000,000 maximum in any one occurrence. Windstorm or hail carries a $1,000,000,000 limit, subject to a minimum $100,000 deductible per occurrence. Time element including business interruption, extra expense, rental value, and rental income is covered at $200,000,000 with a $100,000 deductible. Sub-limits apply for debris removal ($25,000,000), valuable papers and records ($25,000,000), errors and omissions ($10,000,000), and named storm ($1,000,000,000). The Treasurer, Deputy Treasurer, and Chief Financial Officer are each covered under $10,000,000 public official bonds. The City also has a government crime policy covering (1) employee theft with a $1,000,000 limit and $20,000 deductible; (2) forgery or alteration with a $25,000 limit and $1,000 deductible; (3) theft of money and securities with a $50,000 limit and $2,500 deductible; (4) robbery or safe burglary with a $50,000 limit and $2,500 deductible; (5) money orders and counterfeit money with a $50,000 limit and $2,500 deductible; and (6) computer fraud and funds transfer fraud, each carrying $1,000,000 limits and $20,000 deductibles. The City purchases excess workers’ compensation insurance with a $30,000,000 limit and $1,000,000 self-insured retention per occurrence for Fire and Police employees and $750,000 self- insured retention per occurrence for all other employee classifications. The City is self-insured for losses above the limits and below the deductibles. Further, the City is self-insured for unemployment. The Risk Management Fund (an internal service fund) has been established to pay these claims along with health insurance premiums and certain administrative expenses. During the past three fiscal years, there have been no settlements that exceeded the self-insured retentions. INVESTMENT POLICY City Policy. It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in accordance with the principles of sound treasury management and in compliance with State and local laws, regulations, and other policies governing the investment of public funds, specifically, according to the terms and conditions of the State Money Management Act, Title 51, Chapter 7 of the Utah Code (the “Money Management Act”) and Rules of the State Money Management Council as currently amended, and the City’s own written investment policy. The following investment objectives, in order of priority, are met when investing public funds: safety of principal, need for liquidity, and maximum yield on investments consistent with the first two objectives. -49- The City may use investment advisers to conduct investment transactions on its behalf as permitted by the Money Management Act and local ordinance or policy. Investment advisers must be certified by the Director of the Utah State Division of Securities of the Department of Commerce (the “Director”). Broker/dealers and agents who desire to become certified dealers must be certified by the Director and meet the requirements of the Money Management Act. Only qualified depositories as certified by Utah’s Commissioner of Financial Institutions are eligible to receive and hold deposits of public funds. The State Money Management Council issues a quarterly list of certified investment advisers, certified dealers, and qualified depositories authorized by State statute to conduct transactions with public treasurers. Transactions involving authorized deposits or investments of public funds may be conducted only through issuers of securities authorized by Section 51-7-11(3) of the Utah Code, qualified depositories included in the current State list, and certified dealers included in the current State list. The City Treasurer must take delivery of all investments purchased, including those purchased through a certified investment adviser. This may be accomplished by the City Treasurer taking physical delivery of the security or delivering the security to a bank or trust company designated by the City Treasurer for safekeeping. The City Treasurer may use a qualified depository bank for safekeeping securities or maintain an account with a money center bank for the purpose of settling investment transactions and safekeeping and collecting those investments. City policy provides that not more than 25% of total City funds or 25% of the qualified depository’s allotment, whichever is less, can be invested in any one qualified depository. Not more than 20% of total City funds may be invested in any one certified out-of-state depository institution. However, there is no limitation placed on the amount invested with the Utah Public Treasurer’s Investment Fund (“PTIF”) and other money market mutual funds, provided that the overall standards of investments achieve the City’s policy objectives. All funds pledged or otherwise dedicated to the payment of interest on and principal of bonds or notes issued by the City are invested in accordance with the terms and borrowing instruments applicable to such bonds or notes. City policy also provides that the remaining term to maturity of an investment may not exceed the period of availability of the funds invested. The investment of City funds cannot be of a speculative nature. The City’s entire portfolio is currently in compliance with all of the provisions of the Money Management Act. The Utah Public Treasurers’ Investment Fund. The PTIF is a local government investment fund, established in 1981, and managed by the State Treasurer. Generally, a substantial portion of the City’s funds are on deposit in the PTIF (currently approximately $___ billion). All investments in the PTIF must comply with the Money Management Act and rules of the State Money Management Council. The PTIF invests primarily in money market securities. Securities in the PTIF include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, short-term corporate notes, obligations of the U.S. Treasury and securities of certain agencies of the federal government. By policy, the maximum weighted average adjusted life of the portfolio is not to exceed 90 days and the maximum final maturity of any security purchased by the PTIF is limited to five years. Safekeeping and audit controls for all investments owned by the PTIF must comply with the Money Management Act. -50- All securities purchased are delivered versus payment to the custody of the State Treasurer or the State Treasurer’s safekeeping bank, assuring a perfected interest in the securities. Securities owned by the PTIF are completely segregated from securities owned by the State. The State has no claim on assets owned by the PTIF except for any investment of State moneys in the PTIF. Deposits are not insured or otherwise guaranteed by the State. Investment activity of the State Treasurer in the management of the PTIF is reviewed monthly by the State Money Management Council and is audited by the State Auditor. The information in this section concerning the current status of the PTIF has been obtained from sources the City believes to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS SERIES 2025 BONDS ARE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS The Series 2025 Bonds are special limited obligations of the City, payable solely from the Revenues, moneys, securities and funds pledged therefor in the Indenture. The Revenues consist of the revenues, fees and other income received by the City from the operation of the System. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS—General” herein. The Series 2025 Bonds do not constitute a general obligation indebtedness nor are they secured by a pledge of the ad valorem taxing power or the full faith and credit of the City and are not obligations of the State or any other agency or other political subdivision or entity of the State. The City will not mortgage or grant any security interest in the improvements financed with the proceeds of the Series 2025 Bonds or any portion thereof to secure payment of the Series 2025 Bonds. CLIMATE CHANGE{TO BE VERIFIED AND/OR UPDATED BY THE CITY.} Climate change caused by human activities may have adverse effects on the System, including on each of the wet utilities the Department manages. As greenhouse gas emissions continue to accumulate in the atmosphere as a result of economic activity, climate change is expected to intensify, increasing the frequency, severity and timing of extreme weather events such as coastal storm surges, drought, wildfires, floods and heat waves, and rising sea levels. The future fiscal impact of climate change on the System is difficult to predict, but it could be significant, and it could have a material adverse effect on the City’s finances by requiring greater expenditures to counteract the effects of climate change or by changing the business and activities of City customers. The City considers the potential effects of climate change in its planning. The Department anticipates and plans for climate change impacts in several ways. The most recent water supply and demand plan includes consideration of impacts to water supply availability and water demand changes in the long-range projections. This informs water resource management, including water conservation goals. A watershed management plan is being updated to include climate change impacts to water quality, vegetation and wildfire risk in source water areas. An update to the Department’s stormwater management plan is also ongoing, including -51- consideration of storm intensification impacts to flood risk. The Department has also contracted with the University of Utah to conduct an iterative assessment of localized climate data, projected impacts, and adaptation measures. This information is used to guide short- and long-term decisions regarding water resources, capital investments, and planning. The Department is additionally addressing its role in greenhouse gas mitigation. A renewable energy plan and wire to water efficiency study were developed to inform capital and operational decisions to reduce the Department’s own operational greenhouse gas emissions. CYBERSECURITY {TO BE VERIFIED AND/OR UPDATED BY THE CITY.} The risk of cyberattacks against enterprises, including those operated for a governmental purpose, has become more prevalent in recent years. At least one of the rating agencies factors the risk of such an attack into its ratings analysis, recognizing that a cyberattack could affect liquidity, public policy and constituent confidence, and ultimately credit quality. A cyberattack could cause the informational systems of the Department and the City to be compromised and could limit operational capacity, for short or extended lengths of time and could bring about the release of sensitive and private information. Additionally, other potential negative consequences include data loss or compromise, diversion of resources to prevent future incidences and reputational damage. To date, the City has not been the subject of a successful cyberattack. The City believes it has made all reasonable efforts to ensure that any such attack is not successful and that the information systems of the City are secure. The Department closely watches for events that can increase cyberthreat activity through WaterISAC, intelligence briefings, and industry collaborations. For instance, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has resulted in increased national and statewide cyberthreat monitoring. The Department and the City routinely check system security and conduct regular employee training to help protect against cyberattacks. However, there can be no assurance that a cyberattack will not occur in a manner resulting in damage to the City’s information systems or other challenges. The City has insurance coverage for cyber liability. TAX MATTERS FEDERAL Federal tax law contains a number of requirements and restrictions which apply to the Series 2025 Bonds, including investment restrictions, periodic payments of arbitrage profits to the United States, requirements regarding the proper use of bond proceeds and the facilities financed therewith, and certain other matters. The City has covenanted to comply with all requirements that must be satisfied in order for the interest on the Series 2025 Bonds to be excludible from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with certain of such covenants could cause interest on the Series 2025 Bonds to become includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Series 2025 Bonds. Subject to City’s compliance with the above-referenced covenants, under present law, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Series 2025 Bonds is excludible from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes and is not includible as an item of tax preference in computing the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals under the Internal -52- Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Interest on the Series 2025 Bonds may affect the corporate alternative minimum tax for certain corporations. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel will rely upon certifications of the City with respect to certain material facts solely within the City’s knowledge. Bond Counsel’s opinion represents its legal judgment based upon its review of the law and the facts that it deems relevant to render such opinion and is not a guarantee of a result. Ownership of the Series 2025 Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including, without limitation, corporations subject to the branch profits tax, financial institutions, certain insurance companies, certain S corporations, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred (or continued) indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations. Prospective purchasers of the Series 2025 Bonds should consult their tax advisors as to applicability of any such collateral consequences. The issue price for original issue discount (as further discussed below) and market discount purposes (the “OID Issue Price”) for each maturity of the Series 2025 Bonds is the price at which a substantial amount of such maturity of the Series 2025 Bonds is first sold to the public (excluding bond houses and brokers and similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers). The OID Issue Price of a maturity of the Series 2025 Bonds may be different from the price set forth, or the price corresponding to the yield set forth, on the cover page hereof. If the OID Issue Price of a maturity of the Series 2025 Bonds is less than the principal amount payable at maturity, the difference between the OID Issue Price of each such maturity, if any, of the Bonds (the “OID Bonds”) and the principal amount payable at maturity is original issue discount. For an investor who purchases an OID Bond in the initial public offering at the OID Issue Price for such maturity and who holds such OID Bond to its stated maturity, subject to the condition that the Issuer and the Board of Education comply with the covenants discussed above, (a) the full amount of original issue discount with respect to such OID Bond constitutes interest which is excludible from the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes; (b) such owner will not realize taxable capital gain or market discount upon payment of such OID Bond at its stated maturity; (c) such original issue discount is not included as an item of tax preference in computing the alternative minimum tax for individuals under the Code; and (d) the accretion of original issue discount in each year may result in certain collateral federal income tax consequences in each year even though a corresponding cash payment may not be received until a later year. Owners of OID Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the state and local tax consequences of original issue discount on such OID Bonds. Owners of Series 2025 Bonds who dispose of Series 2025 Bonds prior to the stated maturity (whether by sale, redemption or otherwise), purchase Series 2025 Bonds in the initial public offering, but at a price different from the OID Issue Price or purchase Series 2025 Bonds subsequent to the initial public offering should consult their own tax advisors. -53- If a Series 2025 Bond is purchased at any time for a price that is less than the Series 2025 Bond’s stated redemption price at maturity or, in the case of an OID Bond, its OID Issue Price plus accreted original issue discount (the “Revised Issue Price”), the purchaser will be treated as having purchased a Series 2025 Bond with market discount subject to the market discount rules of the Code (unless a statutory de minimis rule applies). Accrued market discount is treated as taxable ordinary income and is recognized when a Series 2025 Bond is disposed of (to the extent such accrued discount does not exceed gain realized) or, at the purchaser’s election, as it accrues. The applicability of the market discount rules may adversely affect the liquidity or secondary market price of such Series 2025 Bond. Purchasers should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential implications of market discount with respect to the Series 2025 Bonds. An investor may purchase a Series 2025 Bond at a price in excess of its stated principal amount. Such excess is characterized for federal income tax purposes as “bond premium” and must be amortized by an investor on a constant yield basis over the remaining term of the Series 2025 Bond in a manner that takes into account potential call dates and call prices. An investor cannot deduct amortized bond premium relating to a tax-exempt bond. The amortized bond premium is treated as a reduction in the tax-exempt interest received. As bond premium is amortized, it reduces the investor’s basis in the Series 2025 Bond. Investors who purchase a Series 2025 Bond at a premium should consult their own tax advisors regarding the amortization of bond premium and its effect on the Series 2025 Bond’s basis for purposes of computing gain or loss in connection with the sale, exchange, redemption or early retirement of the Series 2025 Bond. There are or may be pending in the Congress of the United States legislative proposals, including some that carry retroactive effective dates, that, if enacted, could alter or amend the federal tax matters referred to above or adversely affect the market value of the Series 2025 Bonds. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such proposal might be enacted or whether, if enacted, it would apply to Series 2025 Bonds issued prior to enactment. Prospective purchasers of the Series 2025 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed federal tax legislation. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any pending or proposed federal tax legislation. The Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) has an ongoing program of auditing tax-exempt obligations to determine whether, in the view of the Service, interest on such tax-exempt obligations is includible in the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. It cannot be predicted whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Series 2025 Bonds. If an audit is commenced, under current procedures the Service may treat the Issuer as a taxpayer and the Bondholders may have no right to participate in such procedure. The commencement of an audit could adversely affect the market value and liquidity of the Series 2025 Bonds until the audit is concluded, regardless of the ultimate outcome. Payments of interest on, and proceeds of the sale, redemption or maturity of, tax-exempt obligations, including the Series 2025 Bonds, are in certain cases required to be reported to the Service. Additionally, backup withholding may apply to any such payments to any Bond owner who fails to provide an accurate Form W-9 Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, or a substantially identical form, or to any Series 2025 Bond owner who is notified by the Service of a failure to report any interest or dividends required to be shown on federal -54- income tax returns. The reporting and backup withholding requirements do not affect the excludability of such interest from gross income for federal tax purposes. STATE OF UTAH In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under the laws of the State of Utah, as presently enacted and construed, interest on the Series 2025 Bonds is exempt from taxes imposed by the Utah Individual Income Tax Act. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion with respect to any other taxes imposed by the State of Utah or any political subdivision thereof. Ownership of the Series 2025 Bonds may result in other state and local tax consequences to certain taxpayers. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such collateral consequences arising with respect to the Series 2025 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Series 2025 Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any such state and local taxes. LEGAL MATTERS LITIGATION The City Attorney reports the following matters involving potential financial liability of the City: Lawsuits are periodically filed against the City and/or its employees, involving tort and civil rights matters. The City has a statutory obligation to defend and indemnify its officers and employees in relation to lawsuits arising from acts or failures to act of the officers or employees while in the scope and course of employment. The City maintains a governmental immunity fund for claims against the City. In the event the fund is not sufficient to pay any outstanding judgment or judgments, the City has the ability under State law to levy a limited ad valorem tax to pay such judgments. This tax levy is separate and apart from the other taxing powers of the City. The City also has contract claims, condemnation proceedings and environmental matters, none of which is expected to materially adversely affect the City’s financial condition. A non-litigation certificate or opinion executed by the City Attorney, dated the date of closing, will be provided stating, among other things, that to the best of her knowledge, after due inquiry, no litigation, with merit, in the State or federal court has been served on the City or is, to the best of her knowledge, threatened, challenging the creation, organization or existence of the City, or the titles of its officers to their respective offices, or seeking to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale or delivery of the Series 2025 Bonds, or for the purpose of restraining or enjoining the levy and collection of taxes or assessments by the City, or directly or indirectly contesting or affecting the proceedings or the authority by which the Series 2025 Bonds are issued, the legality of the purpose for which the Series 2025 Bonds are issued, or the validity of the Series 2025 Bonds, or the issuance thereof. -55- APPROVAL OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The authorization and issuance of the Series 2025 Bonds are subject to the approval of Chapman and Cutler LLP, Bond Counsel. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the City by the City Attorney. The approving opinion of Bond Counsel will be delivered with the Series 2025 Bonds. A copy of the opinion of Bond Counsel in substantially the form set forth in APPENDIX D of this Official Statement will be made available upon request from the contact persons as indicated under “INTRODUCTION—Contact Persons.” CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING The City will undertake for the benefit of the Bondholders and the beneficial owners of the Series 2025 Bonds to provide certain annual financial information and operating data and notice of certain material events to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, all in order to assist the Underwriter[s] in complying with Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) of the Securities and Exchange Commission. See “APPENDIX F” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference for a form of the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the “Disclosure Agreement”) that will be executed and delivered by the City. The City has entered into a number of Continuing Disclosure Undertakings pursuant to the Rule with respect to the bonds it has issued and has contracted with a number of dissemination agents to file annual information and notices of certain events on behalf of the City. In the previous five years the City provided its annual financial information and audited financial statements to the applicable dissemination agent in advance of the deadline specified in the applicable Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. Dissemination agents for certain of the City’s bonds filed such information late; however, the information was filed within 10 days of the deadline. Additionally, with respect to certain of the Bonds, during the previous five years the City filed the audited financial statements of the City’s utilities system, but did not include the audited financial statements of the City. Corrective filings have been made and the City has taken steps to ensure that in the future the City’s audited financial statements will be filed for such Bonds as required. At the time of the initial corrective filings the City determined that such filings were immaterial with respect to certain maturities of the Bonds that had already matured, and corrective filing were not made for such maturities. In connection with a prior purchase of certain of the City’s general obligation bonds, the purchaser requested that corrective filings be made for such previously matured Bonds. The City complied with such request despite having determined that such filings were not material. A failure by the City to comply with the Disclosure Agreement will not constitute a default under the Indenture and Beneficial Owners of the Series 2025 Bonds are limited to the remedies described in the Disclosure Agreement. A failure by the City to comply with the Disclosure Agreement must be reported in accordance with the Rule and must be considered by any broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer before recommending the purchase or sale of the Series 2025 Bonds in the secondary market. Consequently, such a failure may adversely affect the transferability and liquidity of the Series 2025 Bonds and their market price. See the FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING attached hereto as APPENDIX F for the information to be -56- provided, the events which will be noticed on an occurrence basis and the other terms of the Disclosure Agreement, including termination, amendment and remedies. UNDERWRITING The Underwriter[s] have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase all of the Series 2025 Bonds from the City at an aggregate price of $__________ (which consists of the principal amount of the Series 2025 Bonds, plus net original issue premium of $__________ and less an Underwriter[s]’[s] discount of $__________). The Underwriter[s] have advised the City that the Series 2025 Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including dealers depositing the Series 2025 Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than the initial public offering prices set forth on the inside front cover page of the Official Statement and that such public offering prices may be changed from time to time. The Underwriter[s] and their respective affiliates are full-service financial institutions engaged in various activities that may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, municipal advisory, brokerage, and asset management. In the ordinary course of business, the Underwriter and its respective affiliates may actively trade debt and, if applicable, equity securities (or related derivative securities) and provide financial instruments (which may include bank loans, credit support or interest rate swaps). The Underwriter[s] and their respective affiliates may engage in transactions for their own accounts involving the securities and instruments made the subject of this securities offering or other offering of the City. The Underwriter[s] and their respective affiliates may make a market in credit default swaps with respect to municipal securities in the future. The Underwriter[s] and their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and publish independent research views in respect of this securities offering or other offerings of the City. BOND RATINGS S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) have assigned municipal bond ratings of “____” and “____,” respectively, to the Series 2025 Bonds. Any explanation of the significance of such ratings may only be obtained from the rating service furnishing the same. There is no assurance that the ratings given will be maintained for any period of time or that the ratings will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of such outstanding obligations. MUNICIPAL ADVISOR The City has entered into an agreement with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Municipal Advisor”) whereunder the Municipal Advisor provides financial recommendations and guidance to the City with respect to preparation for sale of the Series 2025 -57- Bonds, timing of the sale, bond market conditions, costs of issuance and other factors related to the sale of the Series 2025 Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has participated in the preparation of and provided information for certain portions of the Official Statement, but has not audited, authenticated or otherwise verified the information set forth in the Official Statement, or any other related information available to the City, with respect to accuracy and completeness of disclosure of such information, and the Municipal Advisor makes no guaranty, warranty or other representation respecting accuracy and completeness of the Official Statement or any other matter related to the Official Statement. The Municipal Advisor fees are contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Series 2025 Bonds.

All expenses in connection with the purchase or redemption of Bonds shall be paid by the City as an Operation and Maintenance Cost. PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST FUND - DEBT SERVICE RESERVE ACCOUNT (a) Each Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of a Series of Bonds may establish in the Debt Service Reserve Account a separate Series Subaccount for each such Series of Bonds issued and, if established, shall specify the Debt Service Reserve Requirement to be on deposit in such Series Subaccount. (b) If on the third Business Day prior to the end of any month, after the deposit of moneys required by the Indenture the amount in any Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account shall be less than the amount required to be in such Series Subaccount, the Trustee shall (1) apply amounts from the corresponding Series Subaccount, if any, in the Debt Service Reserve Account to the extent necessary to make good the deficiency; and (2) to the extent that moneys and investments available in the corresponding Series Subaccount, if any, in the Debt Service Reserve Account are not sufficient to eliminate the deficiency in the Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account and Reserve Instruments are in effect for the corresponding Series of Bonds, immediately make a demand for payment on all such Reserve Instruments, to the maximum extent authorized by such Reserve Instruments, in the amount necessary to make up such deficiency, and B-26 immediately deposit such payment upon receipt thereof in the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account. (c) Whenever the moneys on deposit in a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account, including investment earnings and Reserve Instrument Coverage with respect thereto, shall exceed the Debt Service Reserve Requirement for such Series Subaccount, such excess shall be transferred by the Trustee to the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account and shall be used to pay Debt Service on the related Bonds, subject to any limitations contained in the Tax Certificate relating to such Bonds. (d) Whenever the amount in a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account, excluding any Reserve Instrument Coverage, together with the amount in the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account for a Series of Bonds, is sufficient to pay in full all Outstanding Bonds of such Series and related Repayment Obligations in accordance with their terms (including Principal or applicable sinking fund Redemption Price and interest thereon), the funds on deposit in such Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be transferred to the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account and no deposits shall be required to be made into such Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account. (e) Unless otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds, in calculating the amount on deposit in a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account, the amount of the Reserve Instrument Coverage for the corresponding Series of Bonds will be treated as an amount on deposit in such Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account. So long as any Series of Bonds rated by a Rating Agency is Outstanding, the City agrees that it will not invest moneys held in a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account in a Reserve Instrument without providing notice of such investment to such Rating Agency. (f) Unless otherwise specified in the Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds, no Reserve Instrument for such Series of Bonds shall be allowed to expire unless and until cash has been deposited into the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account, or a new Reserve Instrument has been issued in place of the expiring Reserve Instrument, in an amount or to provide coverage at least equal to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement for the corresponding Series of Bonds. RENEWAL AND REPLACEMENT FUND (a) The amounts in the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall, from time to time, be applied by the City to the payment of extraordinary Operation and Maintenance Costs, and contingencies, including the prevention or correction of any unusual loss or damage to the System to the extent not covered by the proceeds of insurance or other moneys recoverable as a result thereof. (b) If on the third Business Day prior to the end of any month the amount in any Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account shall be less than the amount required to be in such Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account pursuant to the Indenture, and there shall not be on deposit in the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account sufficient B-27 moneys to cure such deficiency, the Trustee shall request that the City transfer from the Renewal and Replacement Fund and deposit into such Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account the amount necessary (or all the moneys in the Renewal and Replacement Fund, if less than the amount necessary) to make up such deficiency; provided that to the extent that such deficiencies occur in more than one Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account and there are insufficient moneys available in the Renewal and Replacement Fund to make up such deficiencies, the amount transferred and deposited from the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall be distributed on a pro rata basis to the deficient Series Subaccounts in the Bond Service Account based on the proportion that the total funds available to remedy the total deficiency bears to the deficiency for each Series of Bonds. (c) At the end of each Fiscal Year any balance of moneys or Investment Securities in the Renewal and Replacement Fund in excess of the Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement and not required to meet any deficiency in the Bond Service Account or needed for any of the purposes for which the Renewal and Replacement Fund was established, shall be transferred by the City and deposited into the Revenue Fund. Purchase of Bonds The City may, to the extent permitted under applicable law and covenants, including any covenants contained in any Tax Certificate, purchase Bonds of any Series from any available funds at public or private sale, as and when and at such prices as the City may in its discretion determine. All Bonds so purchased shall at such times as shall be selected by the City be delivered to and cancelled by the Trustee or any Registrar and shall thereafter be delivered to, or upon the order of, the City, and no Bonds shall be issued in place thereof. In the case of the purchase of Bonds of a Series and maturity for which Sinking Fund Installments shall have been established, the City shall, by a Written Request of the City delivered to the Trustee, elect the manner in which the Principal amount of such Bonds shall be credited toward Sinking Fund Installments, consistent with the procedures specified in the use of the Bond Service Account. COVENANTS OF THE CITY PUNCTUAL PAYMENT OF BONDS The City will punctually pay or cause to be paid the Principal, Redemption Price and interest on the Bonds and any Repayment Obligations in strict conformity with the terms of the Bonds, any Security Instrument Agreement, any Reserve Instrument Agreement and the Indenture, and the City will punctually pay or cause to be paid all Sinking Fund Installments which may be established for any Series of Bonds. CONSTRUCTION OF PROJECTS If the City undertakes the acquisition or construction of a Project, the City shall cause the acquisition or construction to be accomplished in a sound and economic manner and as expeditiously as is practicable. B-28 AGAINST ENCUMBRANCES The City will not create, and will use its good faith efforts to prevent the creation of, any mortgage or lien upon the System or any property essential to the proper operation of the System or to the maintenance of the Revenues. The City will not create, or permit the creation of, any pledge, lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Revenues except only as provided in or permitted by the Indenture. AGAINST SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY EXCEPT UNDER CONDITIONS The City will not sell or otherwise dispose of any property essential to the proper operation of the System or the maintenance of the Revenues, provided that this covenant shall not be construed to prevent the disposal by the City of property which in its judgment has become inexpedient to use in connection with the System when other property of equal value is substituted therefor. The City will not enter into any lease or other agreement which impairs or impedes the operation of the System or which impairs or impedes the rights of the Bondholders with respect to the Revenues. The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any such leases or agreements entered into by the City. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The City will cause the System to be operated continuously, to the extent practicable under conditions as they may from time to time exist, in an efficient and economical manner, and will at all times cause to be maintained, preserved and kept, the System, including all parts thereof and appurtenances thereto, in good repair, working order and condition, and in such manner that the operating efficiency thereof will be of high character, and the City will from time to time cause to be made all necessary and proper repairs and replacements so that the rights and security of the Holders of the Bonds may be fully protected and preserved. QUALIFIED ENGINEER The City will at all times have under engagement a Qualified Engineer to assist it as appropriate, who shall advise the City concerning matters affecting the general operation of the System and make recommendations regarding said operations and construction of improvements and extensions thereto. POWER TO OWN THE SYSTEM AND COLLECT RATES AND FEES The City has, and will have so long as any Bonds are Outstanding or Repayment Obligations are outstanding, good, right and lawful power to own the System and to fix and collect rates, fees and other charges in connection with the System. MAINTENANCE OF REVENUES (a) The City will at all times: B-29 (1) faithfully and punctually perform all duties with reference to the System required by the Constitution and laws of the State; and (2) comply with all terms, covenants and provisions, express and implied, of all contracts and agreements entered into by it for System use and services and all other contracts or agreements affecting or involving the System or the business of the City with respect thereto. The City shall promptly collect all charges due for System use and service supplied by it as the same become due, and shall at all times maintain and enforce its rights against any person who does not pay such charges. To the extent permitted by law the City will bill each customer receiving water, sewer, stormwater, street lighting and other public utilities services included in the System in a single bill, will refuse to accept payment for any of such services unless payment for the other services is also made, and if payment for any of such service is permitted to become delinquent and remain so for the period established by the City, will, if practicable, discontinue the service of water to any premises the owner, tenant or occupant of which shall be so delinquent, and will not recommence the supply of water to such premises until all delinquent charges with penalties shall have been paid in full. This paragraph shall not be construed as requiring the City to refuse partial payment of any bill for services of the System, so long as such payment is applied proportionately to charges for each of such services. (b) The City will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such Supplemental Indentures and such further accounts, instruments and transfers as the Trustee may reasonably require for the better assuring, pledging and confirming to the Trustee all and singular the Revenues and the other amounts pledged hereby to the payment of the principal of, Redemption Price and interest on the Bonds. The City will not sell, convey, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of any part of the Revenues, except as otherwise permitted hereunder. (c) Except under contractual arrangements in effect on the date of the execution and delivery of the Indenture, the City will not permit service to be supplied by the System to the City or any department thereof, or to any person, firm, corporation, public or private, or to any public agency or instrumentality without due consideration to be received in exchange. All payments so made shall be considered Revenues and shall be applied in the manner hereinabove provided for the application of the other Revenues. (d) The City, so far as it legally may, covenants and agrees for the protection and security of the Bonds and the Bondholders from time to time that it will not grant a franchise for the operation of any competing System in the boundaries of the City until all the Bonds shall have been retired. OBSERVANCE OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS The City will well and truly keep, observe and perform all valid and lawful obligations or orders or regulations now or hereafter imposed on it by contract, or prescribed by any law of the United States of America or of the State, or by any officer, board or commission having jurisdiction B-30 or control, as a condition of the continued enjoyment of any and every right, privilege, license or franchise now owned or hereafter acquired by the City, including its right to exist and carry on business, to the end that such rights, privileges, licenses and franchises shall be maintained and preserved, and shall not become abandoned, forfeited or in any manner impaired; provided, however, that the City shall not be required to comply with any such orders so long as the validity or application thereof shall be contested in good faith. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND CLAIMS The City will, from time to time, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, any taxes, assessments or other governmental charges lawfully imposed upon any of the properties of the System or upon the Revenues, when the same shall become due, and will duly observe and conform to all valid requirements of any governmental authority relative to any such properties. The City will keep the System and all parts thereof free from judgments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (except those arising by mere operation of law from the construction of any Project and other improvements of the System which are paid in due course) and free from all other liens, claims, demands and encumbrances of whatsoever prior nature or character, to the end that the priority of the lien of the Indenture on the Revenues may at all times be maintained and preserved, and be free from any claim or liability which might embarrass or hamper the City in conducting its business. INSURANCE Subject in each case to the condition that insurance is obtainable at reasonable rates and upon reasonable terms and conditions: (a) The City will procure and maintain, or cause to be procured and maintained, at all times while any Bonds shall be Outstanding, insurance on the System and public liability insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are usually insurable in connection with similar facilities and are normally carried by municipalities engaged in the operation of similar properties, such insurance shall be maintained with responsible insurers or shall be self-insurance in the manner and to the extent authorized or permitted by law; and (b) The City will secure and maintain adequate fidelity insurance or bonds on all officers and employees handling or responsible for funds of the City related to the System. provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall be construed in such manner as to result in making the Bonds an indebtedness of the City, and if it shall ever be held by any court of competent jurisdiction that any or all of the provisions of this Section are invalid or that the enforcement of the provisions of this Section would make the Bonds invalid or unenforceable, said provisions of this Section shall be considered to be null and void. The Trustee shall have no duty to verify the insurance or to determine if such insurance is sufficient for purposes of this Section. B-31 ACCOUNTS AND REPORTS (a) The City will at all times keep, or cause to be kept, proper books of record and accounts, separate and apart from all other records and accounts of the City, in which complete and accurate entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the System and the Revenues. Such books of record and accounts shall at all times during business hours be subject to the inspection of the Trustee, any Security Instrument Issuer or the Holders of not less than five percent (5%) of the Bonds then Outstanding, or their representatives authorized in writing. (b) The City will place on file with the Trustee and with any Security Instrument Issuer annually within two hundred ten (210) days after the close of each Fiscal Year, so long as any Bonds are Outstanding, a financial statement in reasonable detail for the preceding Fiscal Year showing the Revenues, all expenditures from the Revenues for Operation and Maintenance Costs and other expenditures from the Revenues applicable to the System and the resulting Net Revenues available for Debt Service, together with a balance sheet in reasonable detail reflecting the financial condition of the System, including the balances of all Funds relating to the System as of the end of each Fiscal Year, which financial statement and balance sheet shall be accompanied by an Accountant’s Certificate. Each such audit, in addition to whatever matters may be thought proper by the Qualified Public Accountant to be included therein, shall include the following: (1) Comments regarding the manner in which the City has carried out the requirements of this Indenture and recommendations for any change or improvement in the accounting operations of the System. (2) A statement as to whether or not the Net Revenues for such Fiscal Year were equal to at least 1.25 times the aggregate Debt Service for such Fiscal Year. Simultaneously with the filing of such financial statement, there shall be filed with the Trustee and with any Security Instrument Issuer whose Security Instrument is in full force and effect with respect to any Series of Bonds Outstanding a report of indenture compliance conducted by the firm of Qualified Public Accountants which signed the Accountants’ Certificate attached to such financial statement. (c) The reports, statements and other documents required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provisions of the Indenture shall be available for inspection by Bondholders at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee and shall be mailed to each Bondholder, investment banker, security dealer or other person interested in the Bonds, at their cost, who shall file a Written request therefor with the City. (d) The City shall file with the Trustee and with any Security Instrument Issuer: (i) forthwith upon becoming aware of any event of default under the Indenture or other default in the performance by the City of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in the Indenture, a Written Certificate of the City specifying such default; and (ii) not later than two hundred ten (210) days following the end of each Fiscal Year a Written Certificate of the City stating that, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Authorized Officer of the City executing such Written Certificate, except for any default then existing which shall have been specified in the Written B-32 Certificate of the City referred to in (i) above, the City has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every one of its covenants and obligations contained in the Indenture and there does not exist at the date of such Written Certificate any default by the City under the Indenture or other event which, with the lapse of time specified in the Indenture, would become an event of default under the Indenture, or, if any such default or event of default under the Indenture or other event shall so exist, specifying the same and the nature and status thereof. RATES AND CHARGES (a) In order to assure full and continuous performance of the covenants contained in the Indenture with a margin for contingencies and temporary unanticipated reduction in Revenues, the City covenants and agrees to establish, fix, prescribe, continue and collect (directly or through leases, use agreements or other agreements, or licenses or ordinances) rates and charges for the sale or use of the System services furnished by the City which, together with other income, are reasonably expected to yield Net Revenues at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement for the forthcoming Fiscal Year. The term “Rate Covenant Requirement” shall mean an amount equal to at least (1) 125% of the Aggregate Debt Service excluding amounts payable on Repayment Obligations for the Fiscal Year, (2) 100% of the Repayment Obligations, if any, which will be due and payable during the forthcoming Fiscal Year and (3) 100% of the amounts, if any, then required by the Indenture to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account during the forthcoming Fiscal Year. (b) If the annual financial statement made in accordance with the Indenture relating to Revenues discloses that during the period covered by such financial statement the Net Revenues were not at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement, the City shall not be in default under this Section if, within 60 days after the date of such financial statement (1) the City obtains recommendations from a Qualified Engineer as to the revision of the rates, charges and fees necessary to produce Net Revenues at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement and (2) the City, on the basis of such recommendations, revises the schedule of rates, charges and fees insofar as is practicable and revises Operation and Maintenance Costs so as to produce Net Revenues at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement. MAINTENANCE OF PAYING AGENTS The City shall cause the Trustee to pay to the Paying Agents, to the extent of the moneys held by the Trustee for such payment, funds for the prompt payment of any Principal, Redemption Price and interest on the Bonds to be paid by such Paying Agents. EMINENT DOMAIN If all or any part of the System shall be taken by eminent domain proceedings or conveyance in lieu thereof, the net proceeds realized by the City therefrom shall be deposited with the Trustee in a special fund in trust and shall be applied and disbursed by the Trustee subject to the following conditions: B-33 (a) If such funds are sufficient to provide for the payment of the entire amount of Principal due or to become due upon all of the Outstanding Bonds and outstanding Repayment Obligations, together with all of the interest due or to become due thereon and any redemption premiums thereon, so as to enable the City to retire all of the Bonds then Outstanding, either by call and redemption at the then current Redemption Prices or by payment at maturity or partly by redemption prior to maturity and partly by payment at maturity, and to pay all Repayment Obligations, the Trustee shall apply such moneys to such retirement or payment, as appropriate, and to the payment of such interest. Pending the application of such proceeds for such purpose, such moneys shall be invested by the Trustee, at the Written Request of the City, in Government Obligations. The balance of such moneys, if any, shall be transferred to the City. (b) If such proceeds are insufficient to provide the moneys required for the purposes set forth in subsection (a) of this Section, the City shall file with the Trustee a Written Request of the City requesting the Trustee to apply such proceeds for one of the following purposes: (1) If such Written Request requests the Trustee to apply such proceeds to the purchase, redemption or retirement of Bonds, the Trustee shall apply such proceeds to the purchase, redemption or retirement of Bonds then Outstanding and Repayment Obligations then outstanding. If more than one Series of Bonds is then Outstanding, such proceeds shall be applied pro rata among each such Series to the purchase, redemption or retirement of the Bonds of each such Series and the payment of Repayment Obligations in the proportion which the Principal amount of Bonds of each such Series then Outstanding and Repayment Obligations then outstanding bears to the aggregate Principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding and Repayment Obligations then outstanding. Pending the application of such proceeds for such purpose, such moneys shall be invested by the Trustee, at the Written Request of the City, in Government Obligations. (2) If such Written Request requests the Trustee to deliver such proceeds to the City to apply to the cost of additions, improvements or extensions to the System, the City shall also file with the Trustee an Engineer’s Certificate showing the loss in annual Revenues if any, suffered, or to be suffered, by the City by reason of such eminent domain proceedings, together with a general description of the additions, improvements or extensions to the System then proposed to be acquired or constructed by the City from such proceeds. If, in the opinion of the City (evidenced by a Written Certificate of the City filed with the Trustee), which shall be final, the additional Revenues to be derived from such additions or improvements will sufficiently offset the loss of Revenues resulting from such eminent domain proceedings so that the ability of the City to meet its obligations hereunder will not be substantially impaired, the Trustee shall pay such proceeds to the City. The City, in reaching such determination, may rely upon the Engineer’s Certificate. The City shall hold such proceeds in trust and apply them to the acquisition or construction of the additions, improvements or extensions substantially in accordance with such Engineer’s Certificate. The City shall acquire or construct such additions or improvements in a sound and economic manner and as expeditiously as is practicable. Any balance of such proceeds not required by the City for such additions, improvements or extensions shall be deposited into the Revenue Fund. B-34 (3) If such Written Request requests the Trustee to transfer such proceeds to the City for deposit into the Revenue Fund upon the basis that such eminent domain proceedings have had no effect, or at the most a relatively immaterial effect, upon the security of the Bonds, the City shall also file with the Trustee an Engineer’s Certificate stating that such eminent domain proceedings have not substantially impaired or affected the operation of the System or the ability of the System to produce Net Revenues at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement. Upon receipt of such Written Request and such Engineer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall transfer such proceeds to the City for deposit into the Revenue Fund. RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SYSTEM; APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS If any useful portion of the System shall be damaged or destroyed, the City shall, as expeditiously as is practicable, continuously and diligently prosecute or cause to be prosecuted the reconstruction or replacement thereof, unless the City shall file with the Trustee an Engineer’s Certificate to the effect that such reconstruction or replacement is not in the interests of the City and the Bondholders. The proceeds of any insurance paid on account of such damage or destruction, other than business interruption loss insurance or public liability insurance, shall, if the appropriate Project Account in the Construction Fund has not been closed, be paid into the Construction Fund as provided in the Indenture, or if the Construction Fund has been closed, shall be held by the Trustee in a special account and made available for, and to the extent necessary applied to, the cost of such reconstruction or replacement, if any. Pending such application, which shall be made in accordance with the Indenture, such proceeds may be invested by the Trustee at the Written Request of the City in Investment Securities which mature not later than such times as shall be necessary to provide moneys when needed to pay such cost of reconstruction or replacement. Subject to the provisions of the Prior Lien Resolution, any balance of such proceeds of insurance not needed to pay such cost of reconstruction or replacement shall be applied in the same manner as provided in the Indenture. COMPLIANCE WITH INDENTURE The City will not issue, or permit to be issued, any Bonds in any manner other than in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and will not suffer or permit any default to occur under the Indenture, but will faithfully observe and perform all the covenants, conditions and requirements of the Indenture. The City will make, execute and deliver any and all such further indentures, resolutions, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of the Indenture, and for the better assuring and confirming unto the Holders of the Bonds, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers of the rights, benefits and security provided in the Indenture. The City for itself, its successors and assigns, represents, covenants and agrees with the Holders of the Bonds, as a material inducement to the purchase of the Bonds, and with the Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers as a material inducement to the issuance of Security Instruments and Reserve Instruments, that it will faithfully perform all of the covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture and the Bonds. B-35 POWER TO ISSUE BONDS AND PLEDGE REVENUES AND OTHER FUNDS The City is duly authorized under all applicable laws to create and issue the Bonds and to execute and deliver the Indenture and to pledge the Revenues and other moneys, securities and funds purported to be pledged by the Indenture in the manner and to the extent provided in the Indenture. The Bonds and the provisions of the Indenture are and will be the valid and legally enforceable obligations of the City in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture. The City shall at all times, to the extent permitted by law, defend, preserve and protect the pledge of the Revenues and other moneys, securities and Funds pledged under the Indenture and all the rights of the Bondholders, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers under the Indenture against all claims and demands of all persons whomsoever. EXISTENCE OF CITY The City will maintain its corporate identity and shall make no attempt to cause its corporate existence to be abolished and shall resist all attempts by other municipalities to annex all or any part of the territory now or hereafter in the City. GENERAL (a) The City shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed all acts and things required to be done or performed by or on behalf of the City under the provisions of the Act and the Indenture. (b) Upon the date of issuance and delivery of any of the Bonds, all acts, conditions and things required by law and the Indenture to exist, to have happened and to have been performed precedent to and in connection with the issuance of such Bonds shall exist, have happened and have been performed in regular and in due time, form and manner as required by law and the City will have duly and regularly complied with all applicable provisions of law and will be duly authorized to issue the Bonds under the Act in the manner and upon the terms as in the Indenture provided.

The Trustee accepts and agrees to execute the trusts created by the Indenture upon the terms set forth therein. The Trustee shall act as the legal depositary of the City for the purpose of receiving all moneys which the City is required to pay to the Trustee under the Indenture, and to hold, allocate, use and apply the same as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee shall also act as registrar and Transfer Agent for the Bonds, with the duties provided in the Indenture, and shall also act in accordance with the duties specified B-36 elsewhere in the Indenture. In acting as registrar and Transfer Agent, the Trustee shall be the agent of the City. (b) The Trustee may at any time resign or be discharged of its duties and obligations created by the Indenture by giving not less than 60 days’ written notice to the City, specifying the date when such resignation shall take effect, and mailing notice thereof, to the Holders of all Bonds then Outstanding, and such resignation shall take effect on the day specified in such notice unless previously a successor shall have been appointed as hereinafter provided, in which event such resignation shall take effect immediately upon the appointment of such successor; provided, however, that such resignation of the Trustee shall in no event take effect until such successor shall have been appointed and accepted the duties of Trustee. (c) The City may at any time remove the Trustee initially appointed or any successor thereto by a written direction providing for such removal, for the appointment of a successor, and for the effective date of the change of Trustee; provided, however, that such removal of the Trustee shall in no event take effect until such successor shall have been appointed and accepted the duties of Trustee by the execution of a Supplemental Indenture. A copy of such resolution shall be mailed by first class mail to the Trustee. (d) Notice of the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor shall be mailed by first class mail to the registered Holders of all Bonds then Outstanding, the Information Services, the NRMSIRs and to each Security Instrument Issuer and Reserve Instrument Issuer then having a Security Instrument or Reserve Instrument outstanding, within 30 days after adoption by the Council of the resolution providing for such appointment. Any successor Trustee appointed by resolution adopted subsequent to the issuance of the first Series of Bonds issued hereunder shall be a bank or trust company with a capital, undivided profits and surplus of not less than $50,000,000. (e) If no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 45 days of giving notice of the resignation or removal of the Trustee as aforesaid, the Trustee or any Bondholder (on behalf of himself and all other Bondholders) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, and such court may thereupon, after such notice (if any) as it may deem proper, appoint such successor Trustee. PAYING AGENTS; APPOINTMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF DUTIES; REMOVAL The City shall appoint Paying Agents for the Bonds of each Series pursuant to Supplemental Indentures. Each Paying Agent shall signify its acceptance of the duties and obligations imposed upon it by the Indenture by executing and delivering to the City and to the Trustee a written acceptance thereof. The City may remove any Paying Agent and any successor thereto, and appoint a successor or successors thereto; provided, however, that any such Paying Agent designated by the City shall continue to be a Paying Agent of the City for the purpose of paying the Principal and Redemption Price of and interest on the Bonds until the designation of a successor as such Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent is authorized by the Indenture to redeem B-37 Bonds when duly presented to it for payment or redemption, which Bonds shall thereafter be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE TRUSTS Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee shall, prior to an Event of Default, and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations of the Trustee shall be read into the Indenture. Subject to the Indenture provisions described under the heading “EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES OF BONDHOLDERS” and paragraph (l) below, the Trustee shall, during the existence of any Event of Default (which has not been cured), exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. The Trustee shall perform such duties, rights and powers only upon and subject to the following express terms and conditions: (a) The Trustee shall perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture. The duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee. (b) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any of its duties by or through attorneys, agents, receivers or employees but shall not be answerable for the conduct of any of the same who have been selected by it with ordinary care in accordance with the standard specified above, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trusts of the Indenture and the duties thereunder, and may in all cases pay such reasonable compensation to all such attorneys, agents, receivers and employees as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trusts of the Indenture. The Trustee may act upon the opinion or advice of any attorney for the City or any other attorneys, if, in the case of such other attorneys, they are approved by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from any action or non-action in good faith in reliance upon such opinion or advice. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by any of its officers or employees unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining pertinent facts. (c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital in the Indenture, or in the Bonds (except in respect to the certificate of authentication of the Trustee endorsed on the Bonds), or for the sufficiency of the security for the Bonds issued under the Indenture or intended to be secured by the Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of the City set forth in the Indenture; but the Trustee may require of the City full information and advice as to the performance of the covenants, conditions and agreements aforesaid.

B-38 (d) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any Bonds authenticated or delivered under the Indenture. The Trustee may become the owner or pledgee of Bonds secured by the Indenture with the same rights which it would have if not Trustee. To the extent permitted by law, the Trustee may also receive tenders and purchase in good faith Bonds from itself, including any department, affiliate or subsidiary, with like effect as if it were not Trustee. (e) The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, upon the request or authority or consent of any person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of any Bond, shall be conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Bond and upon Bonds issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof. The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under the Indenture. (f) As to the existence or non-existence of any fact or as to the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, paper or proceeding, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a Written Certificate of the City as sufficient evidence of the facts therein contained and shall also be at liberty to accept a similar Written Certificate to the effect that any particular dealing, transaction or action is necessary or expedient, but may at its discretion secure such further evidence deemed necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same. The Trustee may accept a certificate of the City Recorder to the effect that a resolution in the form therein set forth has been adopted by the City as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted, and is in full force and effect. (g) The permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in the Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and it shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful default. (h) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default under the Indenture except: (1) Failure by the City to cause to be made any of the payments to the Trustee required to be made pursuant to the Indenture; (2) Failure of the City to file with the Trustee any document required by the Indenture to be so filed prior to or subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds; or (3)Any default with respect to a Security Instrument Agreement or a Reserve Instrument Agreement as to which any of the parties thereto has notified the Trustee in writing; provided that the Trustee shall be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default hereunder if specifically notified in writing of such default by the Holders of not less than 10% in B-39 aggregate Principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, by any Security Instrument Issuer or by any Reserve Instrument Issuer, and all notices or other instruments required by the Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee must, in order to be effective, be delivered at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee and in the absence of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no default except as aforesaid. (i) At any and all reasonable times the Trustee, and its duly authorized agents, attorneys, experts, engineers, accountants and representatives, shall have the right fully to inspect any and all books, papers and records of the City pertaining to the System and the Bonds, and to take such memoranda from and in regard thereto as may be desired. (j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the said trusts and powers or otherwise in respect of the premises. (k) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in the Indenture contained, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be required, to demand, in respect of the authentication of any Bonds or any action whatsoever within the purview of the Indenture, any showings, certificates, opinions, appraisals or other information, or corporate action or evidence thereof, in addition to that required by the terms of the Indenture, as a condition of such action by the Trustee reasonably deemed desirable by it for the purpose of establishing the right of the City to the authentication of any Bonds or the taking of any other action by the Trustee. (l) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Bondholders, Security Instrument Issuers or Reserve Instrument Issuers pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, unless such Bondholders, Security Instrument Issuers or Reserve Instrument Issuers shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby. (m) All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied or invested as provided in the Indenture, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law. (n) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, Bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by (i) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, (ii) any Security Instrument Issuer of a Security Instrument then in full force and effect and not in default on a payment obligation or (iii) any Reserve Instrument Issuer of a Reserve Instrument then in full force and effect and not in default on a payment obligation; provided, that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of the Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such inquiry or examination shall be paid by the City or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the City. B-40 (o) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by the Indenture. (p) None of the provisions contained in the Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it. (q) The Trustee shall not be obligated to take or omit to take any action under the Indenture if, upon the basis of advice of counsel selected by it, the Trustee determines it would be unlawful to take or omit to take such action. (r) The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any information, statement or recital in any offering memorandum or other disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to any Series of Bonds. (s) The Trustee shall not be liable for actions taken at the direction of Bondholders or Security Instrument Issuer pursuant to the provisions relating to Events of Default and Remedies of Bondholders in the Indenture. INTERVENTION BY THE TRUSTEE In any judicial proceeding to which the City is a party and which in the opinion of the Trustee has a substantial bearing on the interests of Holders of the Bonds, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of Bondholders and shall do so if requested in writing by (i) the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding or (ii) any Security Instrument Issuer of a Security Instrument then in full force and effect and not in default on a payment obligation. The rights and obligations of the Trustee under this Section are subject to the approval of a court of competent jurisdiction. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust business or assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party, shall be and become a successor Trustee under the Indenture and vested with all the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of the Trustee or the City, anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding. B-41 CONCERNING ANY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE Every successor Trustee appointed under the Indenture shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its or his predecessor and also to the City a Supplemental Indenture accepting such appointment and thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the Written Request of the City, or of its successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor under the Indenture; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it as Trustee under the Indenture to its or his successor. Should any instrument in writing from the City be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations by the Indenture vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the City. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture. COMPENSATION OF THE TRUSTEE AND ITS LIEN The City covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation and, except as otherwise expressly provided, the City covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of the Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ including but not limited to any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Depository) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The City also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the City under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness under the Indenture and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Bonds upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Bonds. APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE It is the purpose of the Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the law of the State) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as Trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under the Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies granted to the Trustee in the B-42 Indenture or hold title to the properties, in trust, as granted in the Indenture, or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section are adapted to these ends. In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by the Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. Should any instrument in writing from the City be required by the separate trustee or co- trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the City. In case any separate trustee or co-trustee, or a successor to either of them shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee. APPOINTMENT, DUTIES AND TERM OF REMARKETING AGENT The City may pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture appoint one or more Remarketing Agents from time to time to purchase or remarket Put Bonds. APPOINTMENT, DUTIES AND TERM OF ADDITIONAL TRANSFER AGENTS The City may appoint one or more Transfer Agents from time to time in addition to the Trustee to transfer and authenticate Bonds. Each appointment of a Transfer Agent other than the Trustee shall be made by a Supplemental Indenture which shall, among other things, specify the duties, qualifications and term of such Transfer Agent and the conditions under which such Transfer Agent may resign, be removed or be replaced. Each Transfer Agent other than the Trustee shall signify its acceptance of the duties imposed upon it pursuant to the Indenture by depositing with the City and the Trustee a written acceptance of such duties, together with a certificate stating that the Transfer Agent is duly qualified to perform such duties under the terms of the Indenture and under all applicable local, state and federal laws. B-43 MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENT OF INDENTURE AMENDMENTS PERMITTED (a) The Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture and the rights and obligations of the City and of the Holders of the Bonds may be modified or amended at any time by a Supplemental Indenture and pursuant to the affirmative vote at a meeting of Bondholders, or with the written consent without a meeting, (1) of the Holders of at least a majority in Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, and (2) in case less than all of the several Series of Bonds then Outstanding are affected by the modification or amendment, of the Holders of at least a majority in Principal amount of the Bonds of each Series so affected and then Outstanding, and (3) in case the modification or amendment changes the terms of any Sinking Fund Installment, of the Holders of at least a majority in Principal amount of the Bonds of the particular Series and maturity entitled to such Sinking Fund Installment and then Outstanding; provided, however, that if such modification or amendment will, by its terms, not take effect so long as any Bonds of any specified Series remain Outstanding, the consent of the Holders of Bonds of such Series shall not be required and Bonds of such Series shall not be deemed to be Outstanding for the purpose of any calculation of Outstanding Bonds under this Section. (b) The Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture and the rights and obligations of the City, the Holders of the Bonds, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers may also be modified or amended at any time by a Supplemental Indenture, without the consent of any Bondholders for any of the following purposes: (1) to add to the covenants and agreements of the City contained in the Indenture, to add other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, to pledge or provide additional security hereunder or to surrender any right or power reserved to or conferred upon the City by the Indenture; (2) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing or correcting any defective provision contained in the Indenture or in regard to questions arising under the Indenture, as the City may deem necessary or desirable, and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Bonds;

provided, however, that any such modification, alteration, amendment or supplement pursuant to this Section shall not take effect until the Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation thereunder shall have consented in writing to such modification, alteration, amendment or supplement; provided further that in determining whether any such modification, alteration, amendment or supplement is materially adverse to the Holders of the Bonds, the Trustee shall consider the effect on the Holders as if there were no Security Instrument with respect to the Bonds; (8) to make any change which in the judgment of the Trustee shall not materially adversely affect the rights or interests of the Holders of any Outstanding Bonds requested by a Rating Agency in order to obtain or maintain any rating on the Bonds or by a Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer in order to insure or provide other security for any Bonds; (9) to make any change necessary (A) to establish or maintain the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on any Series of Bonds as a result of any modifications or amendments to Section 148 of the Code (or any successor provision of law) or interpretations thereof by the Internal Revenue Service, or (B) to comply with the provisions of Section 148(f) of the Code (or any successor provision of law), including provisions for the payment of all or a portion of the investment earnings of any of the Funds established hereunder to the United States of America; (10) if the Bonds affected by such change are rated by a Rating Agency, to make any change which does not result in a reduction of the rating applicable to any of the Bonds so affected, provided that if any of the Bonds so affected are secured by a Security Instrument, such change must be approved in writing by the related Security Instrument Issuer; (11) if the Bonds affected by such change are secured by a Security Instrument, to make any change approved in writing by the related Security Instrument Issuer, provided that if any of the Bonds so affected are rated by a Rating Agency, such change shall not result in a reduction of the rating applicable to any of the Bonds so affected; (12) to the extent permitted by a Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Construction Bonds (or Bond Anticipation Notes), the designation of additions, improvements and extensions to the System as a Project by such Supplemental Indenture may be modified or amended if the City delivers to the Trustee an (a) an Accountant’s Certificate, (b) an Engineer’s Certificate or (c) any combination of (a) and (b) to the effect that such modification or amendment will not adversely impact the City’s ability to perform the covenants contained in the Indenture; B-45 (13) to provide for the appointment of a successor Trustee, a Paying Agent, a separate or co-trustee pursuant to the Indenture, a Remarketing Agent or a Transfer Agent; (14) to specify a schedule of monthly deposits into the Renewal and Replacement Fund pursuant to the Indenture; (15) to provide for uncertificated Bonds or for the issuance of coupons and bearer Bonds or Bonds registered only as to principal, but only to the extent that such would not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds; (16) to provide the procedures required to permit any Holder to separate the right to receive interest on the Bonds from the right to receive principal thereof and to sell or dispose of such right as contemplated by Section 1286 of the Code; and (17) to provide for the appointment or replacement of a Security Instrument Issuer or a Reserve Instrument Issuer or for an additional Security Instrument Issuer or an additional Reserve Instrument Issuer following the occurrence of an event of default under the respective Security Instrument or Reserve Instrument, as applicable, or to provide for an additional Security Instrument Issuer following the withdrawal or suspension or reduction below the Rating Category of AAA, Aaa or any equivalent rating by any rating agency of the long-term ratings of the Security Instrument Issuer provided that the Security Instrument provided by the replacement or additional Security Instrument Issuer would result in a long-term rating on the Bonds equal to the Rating Category of AAA, Aaa or any equivalent rating by any Rating Agency. No modification or amendment shall be permitted pursuant to subparagraph (1), (7), (8), (10), (11), (12) or (16) unless the City delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of nationally recognized standing in the field of law relating to municipal bonds to the effect that such modification or amendment will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status or validity of any Bonds affected by such modification or amendment. (c) No modification or amendment permitted by this Section shall (1) extend the fixed maturity of any Bond, or reduce the Principal amount or Redemption Price thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, without the consent of the Holder of each Bond so affected, or (2) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Bonds required for the affirmative vote or written consent to an amendment or modification of the Indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (3) without its written consent thereto, modify any of the rights or obligations of the Trustee. (d) Each Supplemental Indenture authorized by this Section shall become effective as of the date of its execution and delivery or such other date as shall be specified in such Supplemental Indenture. (e) No amendment shall be permitted pursuant to the Indenture which shall affect (1) the rights or duties of a Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer of a Security Instrument or a Reserve Instrument as the case may be, then in full force and effect and not in B-46 default on a payment obligation, or (2) the Series of Bonds for which a Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer provides security, without the consent of such Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer as the case may be. (f) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture to the contrary, a Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance by a Security Instrument Issuer of a Security Instrument in connection with a Series of Bonds issued under the Indenture may provide, among other provisions, that the Security Instrument Issuer shall at all times, so long as the Series of Bonds remains Outstanding, be deemed to be the exclusive owner of all of the Bonds of such Series for the purpose of consenting to the execution and delivery of a Supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions of (a) above. BONDHOLDERS’ MEETINGS (a) The Trustee may, and upon the Written Request of the City shall, at any time, call a meeting of the Holders of Bonds, to be held at such place as may be selected by the Trustee and specified in the notice calling such meeting. Written notice of such meeting, stating the time and place of the meeting and in general terms the business to be submitted, shall be mailed by the Trustee, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days before such meeting, to any Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer that is in full force and effect with respect to any Series of Bonds Outstanding and to each registered owner of Bonds then Outstanding at his address, if any, appearing upon the Bond register of the City. The cost and expense of the giving of such notice shall be borne by the City, and the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the City for any expense incurred by it. (b) Prior to calling any meeting of the Holders of Bonds, the Trustee shall adopt regulations for the holding and conduct of such meeting, and copies of such regulations shall be filed at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee and at the office of the City and shall be open to the inspection of all Bondholders. The regulations shall include such provisions as the Trustee may deem advisable for evidencing the ownership of Bonds, for voting in person or by proxy, for the selection of temporary and permanent officers to conduct the meeting and inspectors to tabulate and canvass the votes cast thereat, the adjournment of any meeting and the records to be kept of the proceedings of such meeting, including rules of order for the conduct of such meeting and such other regulations as, in the opinion of the Trustee, may be necessary or desirable. (c) No resolution adopted by such meeting of Bondholders shall be binding unless and until a valid Supplemental Indenture has been executed and delivered containing the modifications or amendments authorized by the resolution adopted at such meeting. Such Supplemental Indenture shall become effective upon the filing with the Trustee of the resolution adopted at such meeting and such Supplemental Indenture. AMENDMENT BY WRITTEN CONSENT The City may at any time execute and deliver a valid Supplemental Indenture amending the provisions of the Bonds or of the Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture, to the extent that such an amendment is permitted by the Indenture, to become effective when and as approved by B-47 written consent of the Bondholders, and any necessary Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers, and as provided in this Section. Such Supplemental Indenture shall not be effective unless there shall have been filed with the City or the Trustee the written consents of the necessary number of Holders of the Bonds then Outstanding and the consents of any necessary Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers, and a notice shall have been published as hereinafter in this Section provided. It shall not be necessary for any consent under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed Supplemental Indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. Each consent of a Bondholder shall be effective only if accompanied by proof of ownership of the Bonds for which such consent is given, which proof shall be such as is permitted by the Indenture. Any such consent shall be binding upon the Holder of the Bonds giving such consent and on any subsequent Holder thereof (whether or not such subsequent Holder has notice thereof) unless such consent is revoked in writing by the Holder of the Bonds giving such consent or a subsequent Holder thereof by filing such revocation with the City and the Trustee prior to the date when the notice hereinafter in this Section provided for has been mailed. Notice of the execution and delivery of such Supplemental Indenture shall be mailed by the City to Bondholders (but failure to mail copies of such notice shall not affect the validity of the Supplemental Indenture when assented to by the requisite percentage of the Holders of the Bonds as aforesaid) and to each Security Instrument Issuer and Reserve Instrument Issuer of a Security Instrument or a Reserve Instrument as the case may be, then in full force and effect and not in default in a payment obligation. DISQUALIFIED BONDS Bonds owned or held by or for the account of the City shall not be deemed Outstanding for the purpose of any vote, consent or other action or any calculation of Outstanding Bonds provided for in the Indenture, and neither the City nor any owner or Holder of such Bonds shall be entitled to vote or consent to, or to take, any other action provided for in the Indenture. Any Pledged Bonds shall be deemed Outstanding and, for the purposes of any vote, shall be considered to be owned by the appropriate Security Instrument Issuer. EFFECT OF MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENT When any Supplemental Indenture modifying or amending the provisions of the Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture shall become effective, as provided in the Indenture, the Indenture or such Supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, duties and obligations under the Indenture or such Supplemental Indenture of the City, the Trustee, any Security Instrument Issuer, any Reserve Instrument Issuer, and all Holders of Bonds Outstanding hereunder shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced under the Indenture subject in all respects to such modification and amendment, and all the terms and conditions of any such Supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of the Indenture or the modified or amended Supplemental Indenture for any and all purposes. B-48 ENDORSEMENT OR REPLACEMENT OF BONDS ISSUED AFTER AMENDMENTS The City or the Trustee may determine that Bonds executed and delivered after the effective date of a Supplemental Indenture executed and delivered as provided in the Indenture shall bear a notation, by endorsement or otherwise, in form approved by the City, as to the modification or amendment provided for by such Supplemental Indenture. In that case, upon demand of the Holder of any Bond Outstanding at such effective date and presentation of his Bond for the purpose at the principal corporate trust operations office of the Trustee or at such other office as the Trustee may select and designate for that purpose, a suitable notation shall be made on such Bond. The City may determine that new Bonds, so modified as in the opinion of the City is necessary to conform to such Supplemental Indenture, shall be prepared, executed and delivered. In that case, upon demand of the Holder of any Bond then Outstanding, such new Bonds shall be exchanged at the principal corporate trust operations office of the Trustee without cost to any Bondholder, for Bonds then Outstanding, upon surrender of such Bonds. IRREVOCABLE CONSENT Subject to the Indenture provisions relating to amendments by written consent, any consent pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture by any Holder of a Bond shall be irrevocable, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of the same Bond delivered on transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in replacement thereof. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES OF BONDHOLDERS EVENTS OF DEFAULT The occurrence of one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”: (a) failure by the City to make the due and punctual payment of the Principal or Redemption Price of any Bond when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity as therein expressed, by proceedings for redemption or otherwise; (b) failure by the City to make the due and punctual payment of any installment of interest on any Bond or any Sinking Fund Installment when and as such interest installment or Sinking Fund Installment shall become due and payable; (c) failure by the City to observe any of the covenants, agreements or conditions on its part contained in the Indenture or in the Bonds contained, and failure to remedy the same for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof, specifying such failure and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the City by the Trustee, or to the City and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding; (d) bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, including without limitation proceedings under Chapter 9 of Title 11, United States Code (as the B-49 same may from time to time be hereafter amended), or other proceedings for relief under any federal or state bankruptcy law or similar law for the relief of debtors are instituted by or against the City and, if instituted against the City, said proceedings are consented to or are not dismissed within 30 days after such institution; or (e) any event specified in a Supplemental Indenture as constituting an Event of Default under the Indenture; provided that any failure by the City to make payment as described in subparagraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall not constitute an Event of Default with respect to any Bond if the Supplemental Indenture authorizing the issuance of such Bond provides that due and punctual payment by a Security Instrument Issuer or a Reserve Instrument Issuer shall not give rise to an Event of Default and such payment is, in fact, duly and punctually made. The Trustee shall give notice to any Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer of any Event of Default known to the Trustee within 30 days after it has knowledge thereof. REMEDIES (a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default: (i) the Trustee may proceed, and (ii) upon the written request of (x) the Holders of a majority of the Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (y) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (z) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described under clauses (x) and (y) representing a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, shall proceed, to protect and enforce its rights and the rights under the Indenture of the Bondholders, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers forthwith by any available remedy, including, without limitation, suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for the payment of any amount due under the Indenture or on the Bonds, or for the specific performance of any covenant contained in the Indenture, or in aid of the execution of any power granted in the Indenture or any remedy granted under the Act, or for an accounting against the City, as if the City were the trustee of an express trust, or in the enforcement of any other legal or equitable right, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to enforce any of its rights or to perform any of its duties under the Indenture. (b) All rights of action under the Indenture or under any of the Bonds may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or other proceeding relating thereto. Any suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name as Trustee without the necessity of joining any Holders or other parties as plaintiffs or defendants. B-50 (c) No delay in exercising or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair that remedy, right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any default or Event of Default or acquiescence therein. Every remedy, right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed to be expedient. (d) In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any remedy, right or power under the Indenture in any suit, action or proceedings, and the suit, action or proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then the Issuer, the Trustee, the Bondholders, the Security Instruments Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers shall be restored to their former positions and rights under the Indenture, respectively, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no suit, action or proceedings had been taken. APPLICATION OF REVENUES AND OTHER MONEYS AFTER DEFAULT (a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall apply Revenues and such moneys, securities and funds and the income therefrom as follows and in the following order, provided that moneys held in any Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account or in the Debt Service Reserve Account or received under any Security Instrument shall not be used for purposes other than payment of the interest and Principal or Redemption Price then due on the Series of Bonds corresponding to such Series Subaccount or such Security Instrument in accordance with paragraph (3) of this Section : (1) to the payment of the reasonable and proper charges and expenses of the Trustee and the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel; (2) to the payment of the Operation and Maintenance Costs, as certified by the City as due and payable; (3) to the payment of the interest and Principal or Redemption Price then due on the Bonds and Security Instrument Repayment Obligations, as follows: FIRST: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest then due on the Bonds and the Security Instrument Repayment Obligations in the order of the maturity of such installments, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any installment or installments maturing on the same date, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts due thereon, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference; and SECOND: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid Principal or Redemption Price of any Bonds and Security Instrument Repayment Obligations which shall have become due, whether at maturity or by call for redemption, in the order of their due dates, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full all the Bonds and Security Instrument Repayment Obligations due on any date, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts of Principal, Redemption Price or Security B-51 Instrument Repayment Obligations due on such date, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference; and (4) to the payment of all obligations owed to all Reserve Instrument Issuers according to the amounts due without any discrimination or preference. (b) If and whenever all overdue installments of interest on all Bonds and Repayment Obligations, together with the reasonable and proper charges and expenses of the Trustee, and all other sums payable by the City under the Indenture, including the Principal and Redemption Price of and accrued unpaid interest on all Bonds and Repayment Obligations which shall then be payable, shall either be paid by or for the account of the City, or provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall be made for such payment, and all defaults under the Indenture or the Bonds shall be made good or secured to the satisfaction of the Trustee and the Repayment Obligations shall be made good or secured to the satisfaction of the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers as appropriate, or provision deemed by the Trustee and, in the case of Repayment Obligations, to the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers, as appropriate, to be adequate shall be made therefor, the Trustee shall pay over to the City all such Revenues then remaining unexpended in the hands of the Trustee (except Revenues deposited or pledged, or required by the terms of the Indenture to be deposited or pledged, with the Trustee), and thereupon the City and the Trustee shall be restored, respectively, to their former positions and rights under the Indenture, and all Revenues shall thereafter be applied as provided in the Indenture. No such payment over to the City by the Trustee or resumption of the application of Revenues as provided in the Indenture shall extend to or affect any subsequent default under the Indenture or impair any right consequent thereon. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF BONDHOLDERS (a) No Holder of any Bond, any Security Instrument Issuer or any Reserve Instrument Issuer shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: (1) such Holder, Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; (2) either (x) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (y) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure 25% in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, or (z) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described in clauses (x) and (y) representing not less than 25% in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; B-52 (3) such Holders or Security Instrument Issuers have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceedings; and (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60 day period by (1) the Holders of a majority in Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (2) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (3) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described in clauses (1) and (2) representing a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Bonds, Security Instrument Issuers or Reserve Instrument Issuers shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such parties, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such parties or to enforce arty right under the Indenture, except in the manner provided in the Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such parties in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, the Holder of any Bond shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the Principal of, Redemption Price and interest on such Bond on the respective stated maturities expressed in such Bond (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date of such Bond) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, subject only to any conditions of any Security Instrument Issuer providing a Security Instrument securing such Bond. Such right to receive payment shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. (c) (i) The Holders of a majority of the Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (ii) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (iii) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described under clauses (i) and (ii) representing a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that: (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or the Indenture, (2) the Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders and Security Instrument Issuers not taking part in such direction, and B-53 (3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and upon the filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce the rights of the Trustee and of the Bondholders, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers, the Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the trust estate created by the Indenture, including, without limitation, the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, the Revenues and the Funds, including the investments, if any, thereof, pending such proceedings, with such powers as a court making such appointments shall confer. NON-WAIVER Nothing in the Indenture or in the Bonds shall affect or impair the obligation of the City, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Principal and Redemption Price of and interest on the Bonds and the Repayment Obligations to the respective Holders of the Bonds, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers, as appropriate, at the respective dates of maturity, or upon call for redemption, as provided in the Indenture, out of the Revenues, Funds and other moneys, securities and funds pledged in the Indenture for such payment, or affect or impair the right of action, which is also absolute and unconditional, of such Holders, Security Instrument Issuers or Reserve Instrument Issuers, as appropriate, to institute suit to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in the Bonds and Repayment Obligations. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of the Bonds or, with respect to Repayment Obligations, of any Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer as appropriate, to exercise any right or power arising upon the happening of any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and every power and remedy given by the Indenture to the Trustee or to the Holders of Bonds or, with respect to Repayment Obligations, to Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers, as appropriate, may be exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Trustee, the Holders of the Bonds, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers. REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE No remedy in the Indenture conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Bonds or, with respect to Repayment Obligations, to Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers, as appropriate, is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under the Indenture or now or hereafter existing, at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and may be exercised at any time or from time to time, and as often as may be necessary, by the Trustee, the Holder of any one or more of the Bonds or, with respect to Repayment Obligations, by Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers, as appropriate. Nothing contained in the Indenture shall permit the levy of any attachment or execution upon any of the properties of the B-54 City, nor shall any properties of the City be subject to forfeiture by reason of any default under the Indenture, it being expressly understood and agreed by each and every Bondholder by the acceptance of any Bond and by each and every Security Instrument Issuer and Reserve Instrument Issuer by entering into Security Instrument Agreements and Reserve Instrument Agreements, as appropriate, that the rights of all such Bondholders, Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers are limited and restricted to the use and application of Revenues, Funds and other moneys, securities and funds pledged under the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. WAIVERS OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT The Trustee may waive, and upon the written direction of (x) the Holders of a majority of the Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (y) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (z) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described under clauses (x) and (y) representing a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, shall waive, any Event of Default hereunder and its consequences; provided, however, that (x) there shall not be waived any Event of Default specified under (a) or (b) of “Events of Default” above unless prior to such waiver the City shall have caused to be deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all Bonds and the Principal of any and all Bonds which shall have become due (with interest upon such Principal and, to the extent permissible by law, on overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum specified in the Bonds) and (y) no Event of Default shall be waived unless (in addition to the applicable conditions as aforesaid) there shall have been deposited with the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses payable to the Trustee. No such waiver shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or shall impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. INVESTMENT FUNDS INVESTMENT OF FUNDS (a) Moneys held in any Fund or account shall be invested and reinvested by the City or the Trustee to the fullest extent practicable in Investment Securities which mature not later than such times as shall be necessary to provide moneys when needed for payments to be made from such Fund or account, subject to the following: (1) the Trustee shall make such investments only in accordance with written instructions received from an Authorized Officer of the City; (2) any Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds may impose additional restrictions on moneys held in any Fund or account; and B-55 (3) any Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds may authorize the investment of moneys to be held in any Project Account, Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account or Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Account created by such Supplemental Indenture and relating to such Series of Bonds in such other investments as may be specified by the Supplemental Indenture. (b) Subject to any required rebate of earnings on investments in any Fund or account to the United States of America pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code and except as otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture establishing a Project Account or a Series Subaccount: (i) all moneys earned as an investment of moneys in the Construction Fund shall be retained therein; (ii) net income earned on any moneys or investments in the Revenue Fund , the Bond Service Account and the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall remain in or be transferred to the Revenue Fund; (iii) whenever a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account is in its full required amount, net income earned on any moneys or investments in such Series Subaccount shall be transferred to the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account as provided in the Indenture, otherwise, to be retained therein. (c) The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any loss or for failure to maximize earnings resulting from any investment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The Trustee shall be entitled to assume, absent receipt by the Trustee of written notice to the contrary, that any investment, which at the time of purchase is an Investment Security, remains an Investment Security thereafter. (d) The Trustee may make any and all investments permitted by the provisions of the Indenture through its own investment department or that of its affiliates. As and when any amount invested pursuant to the Indenture may be needed for disbursement, the Trustee may cause a sufficient amount of such investments to be sold and reduced to cash to the credit of such funds. The City acknowledges that to the extent that regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory agency grant the City the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions, the City waives receipt of such confirmations. The Trustee shall furnish to the City periodic statements, which include detail of all investment transactions, made by the Trustee. ARBITRAGE COVENANT The City covenants that moneys on deposit in any Fund, whether or not such moneys were derived from proceeds of sales of Bonds or from any other sources, will not be used in a manner which will cause any Bonds, the interest on which is to be exempt from federal income taxation under the Code, to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code; provided, however, that this covenant shall not prevent the issuance of a Series of Bonds the interest on which is subject to Federal income taxation under the Code. B-56 DEFEASANCE DISCHARGE OF INDEBTEDNESS If the City shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be paid, subject to any limitations contained in a Supplemental Indenture with respect to a Series of Bonds, to the Holders of all Bonds the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due or to become due thereon, at the times and in the manner stipulated therein and in the Indenture and if all Repayment Obligations owed to Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers shall have been paid in full, then the pledge of any Revenues and other moneys, securities and Funds pledged under the Indenture and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the City to the Bondholders, Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied. In such event, the Trustee shall cause an accounting for such period or periods as shall be requested by the City to be prepared and filed with the City and, upon the request of the City, shall execute and deliver to the City all such instruments as may be desirable to evidence such discharge and satisfaction, and the Agents shall pay over or deliver to the City all moneys or securities held by them pursuant to the Indenture which are not required for the payment of Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest on Bonds not theretofore surrendered for such payment or redemption. If the City shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be paid, to the Holders of any Outstanding Bonds the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due or to become due thereon, at the times and in the manner stipulated therein and in the Indenture, such Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under the Indenture, and all covenants, agreements and obligations of the City to the Holders of such Bonds shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied. Bonds or interest installments for the payment or redemption of which moneys shall have been set aside and shall be held in trust by the Trustee (through deposit by the City of funds for such payment or redemption or otherwise) at the maturity or redemption date thereof shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the effect expressed in subsection (a) of this Section, unless otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture with respect to a Series of Bonds. Subject to any further conditions in a Supplemental Indenture with respect to a Series of Bonds, all Outstanding Bonds of any Series shall prior to the maturity or redemption date thereof be deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the effect expressed in subsection (a) of this Section if (1) in case any of said Bonds are to be redeemed on any date prior to their maturity, the City shall have given to the Trustee in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to mail as provided in the Indenture notice of redemption of such Bonds on said date, (2) there shall have been deposited with the Trustee either moneys in an amount which shall be sufficient, or noncallable Government Obligations (including any Government Obligations issued or held in book-entry form on the books of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America) the principal of and the interest on which when due will provide moneys which, together with the moneys, if any, deposited with the Trustee at the same time, shall be sufficient, to pay when due the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due and to become due on said Bonds on and prior to the redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be, and (3) in the event said Bonds are not by their terms subject to redemption within the next succeeding 60 days, the City shall have given the Trustee in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to mail, first B-57 class postage prepaid, a notice to the Holders of such Bonds that the deposit required by (2) above has been made with the Trustee and that said Bonds are deemed to have been paid in accordance with this Section and stating such maturity or redemption date upon which moneys are to be available for the payment of the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, on said Bonds. Neither Government Obligations nor moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section nor principal or interest payments on any such Government Obligations shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be held in trust for, the payment of the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest on said Bonds; provided that any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee, if not then needed for such purpose, shall, to the extent practicable, be reinvested in Government Obligations maturing at times and in amounts sufficient to pay when due the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest to become due on said Bonds on and prior to such redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be, and interest earned from such reinvestments shall be paid over to the City, as received by the Trustee, free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge. UNCLAIMED MONEYS Anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, any moneys held by an Agent in trust for the payment and discharge of any of the Bonds which remain unclaimed for four years after the date when such Bonds have become due and payable, either at their stated maturity dates or by call for earlier redemption, if such moneys were held by the Agent at such date, or for four years after the date of deposit of such moneys if deposited with the Agent after the said date when such Bonds become due and payable, shall, at the Written Request of the City, be repaid by the Agent to the City, as its absolute property and free from trust, and the Agent shall thereupon be released and discharged with respect thereto and the Bondholders shall look only to the City for the payment of such Bonds.

As of October 2023.) D-1 APPENDIX D PROPOSED FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL Upon the delivery of the Bonds, Chapman and Cutler LLP, Bond Counsel, proposes to issue their final approving opinion in substantially the following form: [To come.] E-1 APPENDIX E PROVISIONS REGARDING BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM DTC will act as securities depository for the Series 2025 Bonds. The Series 2025 Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Series 2025 Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world’s largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. Purchases of Series 2025 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Series 2025 Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2025 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Series 2025 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Series 2025 Bonds is discontinued. E-2 To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2025 Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Series 2025 Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Series 2025 Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2025 Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Series 2025 Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Series 2025 Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Series 2025 Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Series 2025 Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Series 2025 Bonds are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Series 2025 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Series 2025 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Series 2025 Bonds will be made to Cede & Co, or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the City or the Paying Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Paying Agent, or the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the City or the Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the E-3 responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Series 2025 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the City or the Paying Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the City believes to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

F-4 6. CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE OF THE CITY TO PROVIDE INFORMATION.

The beneficial owners of 25% or more in principal amount of the applicable series of the Series 2025 Bonds outstanding may challenge the adequacy of the information provided under this Agreement and seek specific performance by court order to cause the City to provide the information as required by this Agreement. A default under this Agreement shall not be deemed a default under the Indenture, and the sole remedy under this Agreement in the event of any failure of the City to comply with this Agreement shall be an action to compel performance. 7. AMENDMENTS; WAIVER. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the City by resolution or ordinance authorizing such amendment or waiver, may amend this Agreement, and any provision of this Agreement may be waived, if: (a) (i) the amendment or waiver is made in connection with a change in circumstances that arises from a change in legal requirements, including without limitation, pursuant to a “no-action” letter issued by the Commission, a change in law, or a change in the identity, nature, or status of the City, or type of business conducted; or (ii) this Agreement, as amended, or the provision, as waived, would have complied with the requirements of the Rule at the time of the primary offering, after taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule, as well as any change in circumstances; and (b) the amendment or waiver does not materially impair the interests of the beneficial owners of the Series 2025 Bonds, as determined by parties unaffiliated with the City (such as bond counsel).

TERMINATION OF UNDERTAKING. The Undertaking of the City with respect to the Series 2025 Bonds shall be terminated hereunder if the City shall no longer have any legal liability for any obligation on or relating to repayment of the applicable Series 2025 Bonds under the Indenture. The City shall give notice in a timely manner if this Section is applicable. 9. DISSEMINATION AGENT. The City may, from time to time, appoint or engage a Dissemination Agent to assist it in carrying out its obligations under this Agreement, and may F-5 discharge any such Dissemination Agent, with or without appointing a successor Dissemination Agent. 10.

If the City chooses to include any information from any document or notice of occurrence of a Reportable Event in addition to that which is specifically required by this Agreement, the City shall have no obligation under this Agreement to update such information or include it in any future disclosure or notice of occurrence of a Reportable Event. 11. BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement has been executed in order to assist the Participating Underwriter in complying with the Rule; however, this Agreement shall inure solely to the benefit of the City, the Dissemination Agent, if any, and the beneficial owners of the Series 2025 Bonds, and shall create no rights in any other person or entity. 12.
