The Original Bond was issued on May 15, 1991 and was purchased and is currently held by the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation of the State of Montana (the "DNRC"). There are no other bonds or indebtedness of the Issuer that are outstanding and payable from revenues of the System, except the Issuer's Water System Revenue Bond, Series 1989B and Water System Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1995. 1.02. Issuance of DNRC Bonds. Pursuant to a General Resolution, adopted September 30, 1985 and as thereafter amended (the "General Resolution"), and a Supplemental Resolution thereto, the Board of Examiners of the State of Montana (the "Board of Examiners") authorized the issuance by the State of Montana (the "State"), of its Coal Severance Tax Bonds, Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, Water Development Program, 1989 Series A, in the original principal amount of $6,000,000 (the "Series 1989A Bonds").

The purpose of the refunding is to permit the DNRC to reduce the rate of interest, during the portion of the term of the loan when the interest rate thereon is not subsidized by the State, on loans made by the DNRC from proceeds of the Series 1989A Bonds and other State Bonds, including the loan evidenced by the Original Bond. 1.04. Increase in Principal Amount and Reduction in Interest Rate on Original Bond.
