Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Kristin Donald, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Commission Resolution No. 5184 – Fixing Terms and Conditions Sewer System Revenue Bonds for funding the Front Street Interceptor MEETING DATE: June 15, 2020
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution No. 5184- Fixing Terms and Conditions Sewer System Revenue Bonds for funding the Front Street Interceptor
STRATEGIC PLAN: 4.3 Strategic Infrastructure Choices- b) Increase Capacity of Sewer Pipes to Accommodate Development Projects - Projects include: North Frontage Road sewer project, Front Street sewer project and Davis Lane.
BACKGROUND: The City has applied for and received a Loan Commitment from the State Revolving Loan Program to fund the construction and financing costs of the Front Street
Interceptor. The project has been planned for several fiscal years in the Capital Improvement Plan and then included in the FY20 budget.
The project consists of approximately 7,625 feet of 24, 21, and 18-inch diameter sewer main, associated manholes, two jack and bore installations (one at a railroad spur and one across East
Main), and all weather access roads and surface restoration of the areas affected by construction.
The mains will be replacing existing undersized main and are necessary to provide the capacity to allow for future development in the vicinity of the hospital and lands to the south. The project is in conformance with the City’s Wastewater Master Plan.
The next step is to formally adopt the bond resolution and close on the loan. This resolution will
allow the city to close on the loan in mid-July and draw-down our loan proceeds for project costs
related to the financing and constructing the system. The project will be financed with the loan proceeds and cash-on-hand in the Wastewater Impact Fee Fund.
281
Securing the Loan: The portion of the project being financed project was identified as 100%
capacity-adding, payable from Wastewater Impact Fees. However, because of the uncertainty of wastewater impact fee revenues, the City’s Wastewater Fund must secure the loan and have rates in place to make any debt service payments that the impact fee fund is unable to make. Annual Payments: The loan is to be repaid over 20 years with interest accruing at 2.5%. Loan
payments are planned to be made from the Wastewater Impact Fee fund. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS: The City will borrow up to $2,807,000 for the construction and financing of the Front Street Interceptor. Debt service payments are planned to come from the Wastewater Impact Fee Fund. Our current wastewater rates anticipated debt service payments and revenue coverage requirements for this borrowing. No rate increase is required for this borrowing.

(a) Authorization. Under the provisions of the Enabling Act, the Borrower is authorized
to issue and sell its revenue bonds payable during a term not exceeding forty years from their date
of issue, to provide funds for the reconstruction, improvement, betterment and extension of the
System or to refund its revenue bonds issued for such purpose; provided that the bonds and the
interest thereon are to be payable solely out of the net income and revenues to be derived from
rates, fees and charges for the services, facilities and commodities furnished by the undertaking,
and are not to create any obligation for the payment of which taxes may be levied except to pay
for services provided by the undertaking to the Borrower.
(b) The System. The Borrower, pursuant to the Enabling Act and other laws of the State,
has established and presently owns and operates the System.
(c) The 2020 Front Street Project. After investigation of the facts and as authorized by the
Enabling Act, this Commission has determined it to be necessary and desirable and in the best
interests of the Borrower to acquire and construct the 2020 Front Street Project.
293
12
(d) Outstanding Bonds. Pursuant to the Enabling Act and the Resolution, the Borrower
has issued, and has outstanding its Series 2010B Bond, Series 2010C Bond, Series 2010D Bond,
Series 2010F Bond, Series 2010G Bond, Series 2010H Bond, and Series 2020B Bond. The
Borrower also has authority to issue, but has not issued, its Series C Bond. The Series 2010B
Bond, the Series 2010C Bond, the Series 2010D Bond, the Series 2010F Bond, the Series 2010G
Bond, the Series 2010H Bond, and the Series 2020B Bond are parity bonds, and the Series C Bond,
when issued, will be a parity bond, payable from Net Revenues of the System. The Borrower also
has issued and has outstanding the Series 2020A Bond, which is a Subordinate Obligation. No
other bonds or indebtedness are outstanding that are payable from or secured by revenues of the
System.
(e) Additional Bonds. The Borrower reserved the right under Section 10.3 of the
Original Resolution, as amended, to issue additional Bonds payable from the Revenue Bond
Account of the Fund on a parity as to both principal and interest with the outstanding Bonds, if
the Net Revenues of the System for the last complete fiscal year preceding the date of issuance
of such additional Bonds have equaled at least 110% of the maximum amount of principal and
interest payable from the Revenue Bond Account in any subsequent fiscal year during the term
of the outstanding Bonds, on all Bonds then outstanding and on the additional Bonds proposed to
be issued. For the purpose of the foregoing computation, the Net Revenues for the fiscal year
preceding the issuance of the additional Bonds shall be those shown by the financial reports
caused to be prepared by the Borrower pursuant to the Original Resolution, except that if the
rates and charges for services provided by the System or finally authorized to go into effect
within 60 days after the issuance of the additional Bonds have been changed since the beginning
of such preceding fiscal year, then the rates and charges in effect at the time of issuance of the
additional Bonds shall be applied to the quantities of service actually rendered and made
available during such preceding fiscal year to ascertain the gross revenues, from which there
shall be deducted to determine the Net Revenues, the actual operation and maintenance cost plus
any additional annual costs of operation and maintenance the Consultant estimates will be
incurred because of the improvement or extension of the System to be constructed from the
proceeds of the additional Bonds proposed to be issued. In no event shall any additional Bonds
be issued and made payable from the Revenue Bond Account if the Borrower is then in default
294
13
in any payment of principal of or interest on any outstanding Bonds payable therefrom, or if
there then exists any deficiency in the balances required by the Original Resolution to be
maintained in any of the accounts of the Fund, which will not be cured or restored upon the
issuance of the additional Bonds. It is hereby determined that the Borrower is authorized to issue
$2,807,000 in aggregate principal amount of additional Bonds pursuant to Section 10.3 of the
Original Resolution, as amended, payable from and secured by the Net Revenues on a parity
with the outstanding Series 2010B Bond, Series 2010C Bond, Series 2010D Bond, Series 2010F

to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 147(a)(2) of the Code) shall, whether pursuant to
a formal or informal arrangement, acquire bonds issued by the State under the Indenture in an
amount related to the amount of the Series 2020D Bond.
Section 2.4 Covenants Relating to the Tax-Exempt Status of the State Bonds.
(a) The Borrower covenants and agrees that it will not use or permit to be used any of the
proceeds of the Series 2020D Bond or any other funds of the Borrower in respect of the 2020 Front
Street Project or the Series 2020D Bond, directly or indirectly, in a manner that would cause, or
take any other action that would cause, any State Bond to be an “arbitrage bond” within the
meaning of Section 148 of the Code or would otherwise cause the interest on the State Bonds to
be included in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.
(b) The Borrower agrees that it will not enter into, or allow any “related person” (as defined
in Section 147(a)(2) of the Code) to enter into, any arrangement, formal or informal, for the
purchase of the State Bonds or any other obligations of the DNRC in an amount related to the
amount of the 2020D Loan or the portion of the 2020D Loan derived directly or indirectly from
proceeds of the State Bonds or that would otherwise cause any State Bond to be an “arbitrage
bond” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.
(c) The Borrower shall not use or permit the use of the 2020 Front Street Project directly
or indirectly in any trade or business carried on by any Person who is not a Governmental Unit.
For the purpose of this subparagraph, use as a member of the general public (within the meaning
301
20
of the Regulations) shall not be taken into account and any activity carried on by a Person other

the Borrower and not by any other Person. Notwithstanding the previous two sentences, the
Borrower may transfer the 2020 Front Street Project or a portion thereof to another Governmental
Unit which is also a Public Entity if such transfer is otherwise permitted under the Resolution and
if such organization agrees with the DNRC to comply with Section 2.3(h), Section 2.3(i) and
Section 2.4 of this Supplemental Resolution and if the DNRC receives an Opinion of Bond
Counsel that such transfer will not violate the Act or the Clean Water Act or adversely affect the
exclusion of interest on the State Bonds from gross income or purposes of federal income taxation.
In addition, except as otherwise provided in the Resolution or in any Collateral Documents, the
Borrower may sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of the 2020 Front Street Project which has
become obsolete or outmoded or is being replaced or for other reasons is not needed by the
Borrower or beneficial to the general public or necessary to carry out the purposes of the Clean
Water Act.

of Bond Counsel described in Section 7.05(a) of the Indenture, deliver to the Borrower instructions
concerning compliance by the Borrower with the arbitrage rebate requirements of Section 148 of
the Code (the “Arbitrage Rebate Instructions”). The Borrower shall comply with the Arbitrage
Rebate Instructions, if any, delivered to it by the DNRC at Closing, as such Instructions may be
amended or replaced by the DNRC from time to time. The Arbitrage Rebate Instructions may be
amended or replaced by new Arbitrage Rebate Instructions delivered by the DNRC and
accompanied by an Opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the use of said amended or new
Arbitrage Rebate Instructions will not adversely affect the excludability of interest on the State
Bonds or any Additional State Bonds (except State Bonds the interest on which the State did not
intend to be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes) from gross income of
the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes.
302
21

or permit any Private Person to manage the 2020 Front Street Project or any portion thereof except
according to a written management contract and upon delivery to the DNRC of an Opinion of

violate the State Act or the Clean Water Act or adversely affect the exclusion of interest on State
Bonds from gross income or purposes of federal income taxation.
(g) The Borrower may not lease the 2020 Front Street Project or any portion thereof to any
Person other than a Nonexempt Person which agrees in writing with the Borrower and the State
not to cause any default to occur under the Resolution; provided the Borrower may lease all or any
portion of the 2020 Front Street Project to a Nonexempt Person pursuant to a lease which in the
Opinion of Bond Counsel delivered to the DNRC will not cause the interest on the State Bonds to
be included in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.
(h) The Borrower shall not change the use or nature of the 2020 Front Street Project if (i)
such change will violate the Clean Water Act, or (ii) so long as the State Bonds are outstanding
unless, in the Opinion of Bond Counsel delivered to the DNRC, such change will not result in the
inclusion in gross income of interest on the State Bonds for federal income tax purposes.
(i) In the event the State Bonds are refunded by bonds which are not State Bonds, all
references in this Supplemental Resolution to State Bonds shall be deemed to refer to such
refunding bonds (together, the “Refunding Bonds”) or, in the case of a crossover refunding, to the
State Bonds and the Refunding Bonds. In the event the State Bonds are refunded by an issue of
Additional State Bonds, all references in the Resolution to the State Bonds shall be deemed to refer
to such Additional State Bonds or, in the case of a crossover refunding, both the State Bonds and
such Additional State Bonds.
Section 2.5 Maintenance of System; Liens. The Borrower shall maintain the System,
including the 2020 Front Street Project, in good condition and make all necessary renewals,

the System, other than liens securing Debt where a parity or senior lien secures the Series 2020D
Bond; provided that this Section 2.5 shall not be deemed to be violated if a mechanic’s or
303

contractor’s lien is filed against any such property so long as the Borrower uses its best efforts to
obtain the discharge of such lien and promptly reports to the DNRC the filing of such lien and the
steps it plans to take and does take to discharge of such lien.
Section 2.6 Maintenance of Existence; Merger, Consolidation, Etc.; Disposition of
Assets. The Borrower shall maintain its corporate existence, except that it may consolidate with
or merge into another Governmental Unit or permit one or more Governmental Units to
consolidate with or merge into it or may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another
Governmental Unit and then dissolve if the surviving, resulting or transferee entity (if other than
the Borrower) (i) is a Public Entity and (ii) assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Borrower
under the Resolution, the Series 2020D Bond and the Collateral Documents, and (a) such action
does not result in any default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
agreements of the Borrower under the Resolution, the Series 2020D Bond and the Collateral
Documents, (b) such action does not violate the State Act or the Clean Water Act and does not
adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the Series 2020D Bond or the State Bonds from gross
income for federal income tax purposes and (c) the Borrower delivers to the DNRC on the date of
such action an Opinion of Bond Counsel that such action complies with this Section 2.6.
Other than pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Borrower shall not transfer the System
or any portion thereof to any other Person, except for property which is obsolete, outmoded, worn
out, is being replaced or otherwise is not needed for the operation of the System, unless the
provisions of (a) and (b) of the preceding paragraph are satisfied and the Borrower delivers to the
DNRC an Opinion of Bond Counsel to that effect and, in addition, the DNRC consents to such
transfer.

the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax or excludable from gross income for
purposes of federal income taxation unless the DNRC has received an Opinion of Bond Counsel,
satisfactory to it, to the effect that such refinancing will not adversely affect the exclusion of
interest on the State Bonds from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.

DNRC Officer; and
(c) An Opinion of Bond Counsel stating that the 2020 Front Street Project, as constituted

Bond Counsel shall not be required for amendments which do not affect the type of facility to be
constructed or activity to be financed.

covenants contained in this Supplemental Resolution as it may be so amended or supplemented
are true as of the date of closing of the additional loan and compliance with applicable tests for the
incurrence of such debt. No assurance can be given that any additional loan funds will be available
under the Program at the time of any such application. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that neither the DEQ, the DNRC, the Trustee nor any of their agents, employees or representatives
shall have any liability to the Borrower and have made no representations to the Borrower as to
the sufficiency of the 2020D Loan to pay costs of the 2020 Front Street Project or as to the
availability of additional funds under the Program to increase the principal amount of the 2020D
Loan.

of the issuance of the Series 2020D Bond by the Borrower, the DNRC shall make, or cause the
Trustee to make, a disbursement of all or a portion of the 2020D Loan upon receipt of the following
documents:
(1) an opinion of Bond Counsel as to the validity and enforceability of the Series
2020D Bond and the security therefor and stating in effect that interest on the Series
308
27
2020D Bond is not includable in gross income of the owner thereof for purposes of
federal income taxation, in form and substance satisfactory to the DNRC;
(2) the Series 2020D Bond, fully executed and authenticated;
(3) a certified copy of the Original Resolution and this Supplemental Resolution;

Borrower and (D) if such costs were paid before adoption of this Supplemental
Resolution that the Borrower has complied with Section 1.150-2 of the Regulations;
(6) the items required by the Indenture for the portion of the 2020D Loan to be

(7) such other certificates, documents and other information as the DNRC, the

(including any necessary arbitrage rebate instructions).

2020 Front Street Project, the Borrower shall submit to the DNRC and the Trustee a signed request
for disbursement on the form prescribed by the DNRC, with all attachments required by such form.

due and payable. All Loan disbursements will be made to the Borrower only upon proof that cost
was incurred.
309
28
(d) The Borrower shall not be entitled to, and the DNRC shall have no obligation to make,
any subsequent advance of any amounts under the 2020D Loan until such time as the Borrower
shall have funded the Reserve Account in an amount then required to satisfy the Reserve
Requirement.
(e) The Borrower shall submit the request for the advance of any amounts under the 2020D
Loan in the form required by the DNRC so that it is received in sufficient time for the DNRC to
process the information by the date desired by the Borrower for the making of the advance.
(f) If all or a portion of the 2020D Loan is made to reimburse a Borrower for Project costs
paid by it prior to Closing, the Borrower shall present at Closing the items required by Section
4.1(b) relating to such costs. The Trustee shall disburse such amounts to the Borrower pursuant
to a disbursement schedule complying with the requirements of the Clean Water Act established
by the DNRC and the Borrower at the Closing.
(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be obligated to
disburse the 2020D Loan any faster or to any greater extent than it has available EPA Capitalization
Grants, Bond proceeds and other amounts available therefor in the Revolving Fund. The DNRC
shall not be required to do “overmatching” pursuant to Section 5.04(b) of the Indenture, but may
do so in its discretion. The Borrower acknowledges that if Project costs are incurred faster than
the Borrower projected at Closing, there may be delays in making disbursements of the 2020D
Loan for such costs because of the schedule under which EPA makes EPA Capitalization Grant
money available to the DNRC. The DNRC will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain an
acceleration of such schedule if necessary.
(h) Upon making each 2020D Loan Disbursement, the Trustee shall note such
disbursement on Schedule A to the Series 2020D Bond.
(i) The Borrower agrees that it will deposit in the Reserve Account upon receipt thereof
of any proceeds of the 2020D Loan borrowed for the purpose of increasing the balance in the
Reserve Account to the Reserve Requirement. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees
that any portions of the 2020D Loan representing capitalized interest shall be advanced only on
Payment Dates and shall be transferred by the Trustee on the Payment Date directly to the Revenue
310
29
Bond Account. The amount of any such transfer shall be a credit against the interest payments
due on the Series 2020D Bond and interest thereon shall accrue only from the date of transfer.
(j) Compliance by the Borrower with its representations, covenants and agreements
contained in the Resolution, including this Supplemental Resolution and the Collateral Documents
shall be a further condition precedent to the disbursement of the 2020D Loan in whole or in part.
The DNRC and the Trustee, in their sole and absolute discretion, may make one or more
disbursements, in whole or in part, notwithstanding such noncompliance, and without liability to
make any subsequent disbursement of the 2020D Loan.
Section 4.2 Commencement of Loan Term. The Borrower’s obligations under this
Supplemental Resolution and the Collateral Documents shall commence on the date hereof unless

and the Series 2020D Bond shall never constitute an indebtedness of the Borrower within the
meaning of any State constitutional provision or statutory or charter limitation and shall never
constitute or give rise to a pecuniary liability of the Borrower or a charge against its general credit
or taxing power. The taxing powers of the Borrower may not be used to pay principal of or interest

agreement with any non-governmental person relating to the use of the 2020 Front Street Project
or the System or security for the payment of the Series 2020D Bond which might cause the Series
2020D Bond, or any one of them, to be considered a “private activity bond” or “private loan bond”
within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code.
Section 10.2 General Covenant. The Borrower covenants and agrees with the owners
from time to time of the Series 2020D Bond that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its
officers, employees or agents any action which would cause the interest on the Series 2020D Bond
to become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Code and the
Regulations, and covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest
on the Series 2020D Bond will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax
purposes under the Code and the Regulations.

Director are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the DNRC a certificate in accordance

that on the basis of facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery
of the Series 2020D Bond, it is reasonably expected that the proceeds of the Series 2020D Bond
will be used in a manner that would not cause the Series 2020D Bond to be an “arbitrage bond”
within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations.
Section 10.4 Arbitrage Rebate. The Borrower acknowledges that the Series 2020D Bond
is subject to the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The Borrower covenants and
agrees to retain such records, make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay
such amounts at such times as are required under said Section 148(f) and applicable Treasury
Regulations to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Series 2020D Bond from gross income for
federal income tax purposes, unless the Series 2020D Bond qualifies for the exception from the
319
38
rebate requirement under Section 148(f)(4)(B) of the Code and no “gross proceeds” of the Series
2020D Bond (other than amounts constituting a “bona fide debt service fund”) arise during or after
the expenditure of the original proceeds thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Mayor, the
City Manager, and the City Finance Director are hereby authorized and directed to execute a
Rebate Certificate, substantially in the form to be prepared by Bond Counsel, and the Borrower
hereby covenants and agrees to observe and perform the covenants and agreements contained
therein, unless amended or terminated in accordance with the provisions thereof.

for which they are customarily prepared by the Borrower, and, if for a fiscal year and so requested
by the DNRC, subject to an audit report and opinion of an accountant or government auditor, as
permitted or required by the laws of the State). The Borrower will also provide, with any
information so furnished to the DNRC, a certificate of the City Manager and the City Finance
Director of the Borrower to the effect that, to the best of their knowledge, such information does
320

maximum authorized principal amount of $2,807,000 (the “Series 2020D Bond”). The Series 2020D Bond is issued to finance a portion of the costs of the construction of certain improvements to the sewer system of the Borrower (the “System”), to fund deposits to the Reserve Account, and to pay costs of issuance of the Series 2020D Bond. The Series 2020D Bond is issued pursuant to
and in full conformity with the Constitution and laws of the State of Montana thereunto enabling,
including Montana Code Annotated, Title 7, Chapter 7, Part 44, as amended, and ordinances and resolutions duly adopted by the governing body of the Borrower, including Resolution No. 4220 of the Borrower adopted on November 16, 2009 (the “Original Resolution”), as amended and supplemented by Resolution Nos. 4234, 4245, 4254, 4299, 4462, , and , adopted on

Terms used with initial capital letters but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Resolution. The Series 2020D Bond is issuable only as a single, fully
registered bond. The Series 2020D Bond is issued on a parity with the Borrower’s Sewer System
Revenue Bond (DNRC Water Pollution Control State Revolving Loan Program), Series 2010B, its First Amended and Restated Sewer System Revenue Bond (DNRC Water Pollution Control State Revolving Loan Program), Series 2010C, its First Amended and Restated Sewer System Revenue Bond (DNRC Water Pollution Control State Revolving Loan Program), Series 2010D,

Water Pollution Control State Revolving Loan Program), Series 2020B (collectively the
“Outstanding Bonds”).
Reference is made to the Resolution for a more complete statement of the terms and conditions upon which the Series 2020D Bond has been issued, the Net Revenues of the System pledged and appropriated for the payment and security thereof, the conditions upon which
additional Bonds may be issued under the Resolution and made payable from such Net Revenues
on a parity with the Outstanding Bonds (collectively with the Series 2020D Bond, the “Bonds”) or otherwise, the conditions upon which the Resolution may be amended, the rights, duties and obligations of the Borrower, and the rights of the owners of the Series 2020D Bond.
The Borrower may prepay the principal of the Series 2020D Bond only if (i) it
obtains the prior written consent of the DNRC thereto, and (ii) no Loan Repayment or
Administrative Expense Surcharge or Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge is then delinquent. Any prepayment permitted by the DNRC must be accompanied by payment of accrued interest, and Administrative Expense Surcharge and Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge to the date of prepayment on the amount of principal prepaid. If the Series 2020D Bond is prepaid in part, such prepayments
shall be applied to principal payments in inverse order of maturity.

The Series 2020D Bond, including interest and premium, if any, is payable solely from the Net Revenues pledged for the payment thereof and does not constitute a debt of the Borrower within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or provision.
The Borrower may deem and treat the person in whose name this Series 2020D
Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof, whether this Series 2020D Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and the Borrower shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Series 2020D Bond may be transferred as hereinafter provided.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED that
the Borrower will prescribe and collect reasonable rates and charges for all services and facilities afforded by the System, including all additions thereto and replacements and improvements thereof, and has created a special Sewer System Fund into which the gross revenues of the System will be paid, and a separate and special Revenue Bond Account in that Sewer System Fund, into
which will be paid each month, from and as a first and prior lien on the Net Revenues then on hand, an amount equal to not less than the sum of one-sixth of the interest to become due within the next six months and one-twelfth of the principal to become due within the next twelve months with respect to all Bonds payable semiannually from the Revenue Bond Account; that the
Borrower has created a Reserve Account in the Sewer System Fund into which shall be paid
additional Net Revenues, after required credits to the Revenue Bond Account, sufficient to establish and maintain a reserve therein equal to, as of the date of calculation, the Reserve Requirement; that the Revenue Bond Account will be used only to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Bonds, the Series 2020D Bond, and any additional Bonds
issued pursuant to the Resolution on a parity therewith; that the rates and charges for the System
will from time to time be made and kept sufficient, to provide gross income and revenues adequate to pay promptly the reasonable and current expenses of operating and maintaining the System and to produce in each fiscal year Net Revenues equal to at least 110% of the maximum amount of principal and interest payable from the Revenue Bond Account in any subsequent fiscal year; that
additional Bonds may be issued and made payable from the Revenue Bond Account on a parity
with the Outstanding Bonds, the Series 2020D Bond, and other Bonds, upon certain conditions set forth in the Resolution, but no obligation will be otherwise incurred and made payable from the Net Revenues of the System, unless the lien thereof shall be expressly made subordinate to the lien of the Outstanding Bonds, the Series 2020D Bond, and additional Bonds on such Net Revenues
and such obligations are payable only from Surplus Net Revenues; that all provisions for the
security of the holder of this Series 2020D Bond set forth in the Resolution will be punctually and faithfully performed as therein stipulated; that all acts, conditions and things required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Montana and the ordinances and resolutions of the Borrower to be done, to exist, to happen and to be performed in order to make this Series 2020D Bond a
valid and binding special obligation of the Borrower according to its terms have been done, do
exist, have happened and have been performed as so required; and that this Series 2020D Bond and the interest hereon are payable solely from the Net Revenues of the System pledged and appropriated to the Revenue Bond Account and do not constitute a debt of the Borrower within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or provision and the issuance of the Series
2020D Bond does not cause either the general or the special indebtedness of the Borrower to
exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation.
