SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 4254 - RESOLUTION RELATING TO $5,103,000
SEWER SYSTEM REVENUE BONDS (DNRC WATER POLLUTION CONTROL STATE
REVOLVING LOAN PROGRAM), CONSISTING OF $384,000 SUBORDINATE LIEN
TAXABLE SERIES 2010E BOND, $816,000 SERIES 2010F BOND, AND $3,903,000 SERIES
2010G BOND; AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND FIXING THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS THEREOF.
MEETING DATE: May 3, 2010
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 4254
BACKGROUND: Earlier this year, the City awarded construction of the Water Reclamation
Facility (WRF) Digester Project to McAlvin Construction. The project is to be funded by a
Treasure State Endowment Program (TSEP) grant, State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG),
and borrowing from the State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan program, totaling $6,088,000.
We were also recently informed that, through the course of our SRF Loan we would be receiving
$384,000 in loan “forgiveness.” This loan forgiveness is dependent upon our successful
completion of the construction project.
45
Details of the SRF Loan & Loan Forgiveness:
o 20 year loan, evidenced by one bond issued to the DNRC.
o Tax-Exempt Status.
o Forgiveness of $384,000 in loan principal, once construction is complete.
o 3.75% fixed rate of interest on $4,719,000.
o First payment due-date of January 1, 2010.
o Payments averaging $370,000/year.
o Required Debt Service Reserve: approx $370,000.
o Pledging of Net Revenues of the Wastewater Fund; no free services, and commitment
to charge a sufficient amount to system users.
o Prepayment of the Bonds is allowed, if prior approval is granted by DNRC.
o Arbitrage Rebate Requirements will be an ongoing compliance issue, handled by the
Finance Department.
Bond Coverage: The bond requires that “Net Revenues of the Wastewater Fund be equal to a
minimum of 125% of the Required Annual Debt Service” amount ($1,157,229 x 125%), or
$1,446,536. Our projected net revenues for the coming year are $2,322,069, $875,000 higher
than the minimum requirements of the bond.
Once this resolution is adopted, the bond will be executed and the loan closed by the Mayor, the
City Manager, and the Finance Director on June 3, 2010.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The effect of this bond resolution is to allow the City to borrow
$4,719,000 and receive $384,000 in additional “loan forgiveness/grant” for construction of the
Digester Complex at the WRF. Actual funding is scheduled to occur on June 3, 2010. The loan
will obligate the Wastewater Fund to make annual payments of approximately $370,000 each
year for the next 20 years. These payments will come from the wastewater rates that customers
pay each month.
Bond documents and Bond Counsel fees are estimated at $15,000, and will be paid from the
proceeds of the loan.

AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS, REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS
Section 2.1 Authorization and Findings.
(a) Authorization. Under the provisions of the 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 Act and other laws of the State, has
established and presently owns and operates the System.
(c) The 2010 Digester Project. After investigation of the facts and as authorized by the
Act, this Commission has determined it to be necessary and desirable and in the best interests of
the Borrower to acquire and construct the 2010 Digester Project.
(d) Outstanding Bonds. Pursuant to the Enabling Act and the Resolution, the Borrower
has issued its Series 2010 ARRA Project Bonds to finance the 2010 ARRA Project and its Series
2010D Bond to finance a water reclamation facility project. The Series 2010B Bond, the Series
2010C Bond, and the Series 2010D Bond are parity bonds payable from Net Revenues of the
System. The Series 2010A Bond is a Subordinate Obligation payable, if at all, from Surplus Net
Revenues. No other bonds or indebtedness are outstanding that are payable from revenues of the
System.
(e) Series 2010EFG Bonds. Based on a certificate executed or to be executed by the
Mayor, the Director of Finance, and the Clerk of the Commission, or any of them, it is hereby
determined that the Borrower is authorized to issue the Series 2010E Bond in the maximum
61
principal amount of $384,000, the Series 2010F Bond in the maximum principal amount of
$816,000, and the Series 2010G Bond in the maximum principal amount of $3,903,000, with the
Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond payable from and secured by the Net Revenues.
For purposes of the foregoing certificate, principal of and interest on the 2010E Loan are
disregarded. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if it fails to deliver timely an
acceptable Forgiveness Certificate as provided in Section 5.1 of this Supplemental Resolution as
determined in the sole and complete discretion of the DNRC, then principal and interest and
surcharges will become due and owing on the Series 2010E Bond as provided in Section 5.1 of
this Supplemental Resolution, and the Borrower shall thereupon, and in any event no later than
three (3) months after delivery of a Noncompliance Statement, to the extent required by Section
6.7 of the Original Resolution adjust its schedule of fees, rates, and charges applicable to the
System to cause Net Revenues and Surplus Net Revenues to be produced in an amount at least
equal to that required by the Resolution.
10
(f) Additional Parity Bonds. The Borrower reserved the right under Section 10.3 of the
Original Resolution 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 125% 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 Section 2.2(f) of Resolution No. 4220, 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
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. Based on a certificate executed or to be executed by the
Mayor, the Director of Finance, and the Clerk of the Commission, or any of them, it is hereby
determined that the Borrower is authorized to issue $4,719,000 in aggregate principal amount of
additional Bonds pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Original Resolution payable from and secured
by the Net Revenues on a parity with the outstanding Series 2010B Bond, Series 2010C Bond,
and Series 2010D Bond.

than the Resolution and any Collateral Documents) to which the Borrower is a party or
by which the Borrower or its property may be bound, nor will such action result in any
violation of the provisions of any laws, ordinances, governmental rules or regulations or
63
12
court or other governmental orders to which the Borrower, its properties or operations are
subject.
(d) No Defaults. No event has occurred and no condition exists that, upon execution and
delivery of the Series 2010EFG Bonds and the Collateral Documents, would constitute a default
under the Resolution or the Collateral Documents. The Borrower is not in violation of any term
of any agreement, bond resolution, trust indenture, charter or other instrument to which it is a

Supplemental Resolution, the Series 2010EFG Bonds and the Collateral Documents (including
any necessary water rate increase) or for the 2010 Digester Project, the financing or refinancing
thereof or the reimbursement of the Borrower for the costs thereof. No consent, approval or
authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any governmental authority (other

Document to which the Borrower is a party are the valid and binding special, limited obligations
and agreements of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their
terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by laws relating to
bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
and general principles of equity.

facilities, improvements and activities described in Appendix A, as such Appendix A may be
amended from time to time in accordance with the provision of Article III of this Supplemental

writing to the DNRC that materially and adversely affects or (so far as the Borrower can now
foresee), except for pending or proposed legislation or regulations that are a matter of general
public information, that will materially and adversely affect the properties, operations and
finances of the System, the Borrower’s status as a Public Entity and Governmental Unit, its
ability to own and operate the System in the manner it is currently operated or the Borrower’s
ability to perform its obligations under the Resolution, the Series 2010EFG Bonds and the

proceeds of the Series 2010EFG Bonds or any other funds of the Borrower in respect of the 2010
Digester Project or the Series 2010EFG Bonds, 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 Loan or the portion of the 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 2010 Digester 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 of
the Regulations) shall not be taken into account and any activity carried on by a Person other
than a natural person shall be treated as a trade or business.
(d) Any portion of the 2010 Digester Project being refinanced or the cost of which is
being reimbursed was acquired by and is now and shall, during the term of the Loan, be owned
by the Borrower and not by any other Person. Any portion of the 2010 Digester Project being
financed shall be acquired by and shall, during the term of the Loan, be owned by the Borrower
and not by any other Person. Notwithstanding the previous two sentences, the Borrower may
transfer the 2010 Digester 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 State 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
67
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 2010 Digester
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.
16
(e) At the Closing of the 2010EFG Loans, the DNRC will, if necessary to obtain the
Opinion 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.
(f) The Borrower agrees that during the term of the 2010EFG Loans it will not contract
with or permit any Private Person to manage the 2010 Digester Project or any portion thereof
except according to a written management contract and upon delivery to the DNRC of an
opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the execution and delivery of such management
contract will not 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 2010 Digester 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 2010 Digester 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 2010 Digester 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.
Section 2.5 Maintenance of System; Liens. The Borrower shall maintain the System,
including the 2010 Digester Project, in good condition and make all necessary renewals,
replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto. The Borrower shall not grant or
permit to exist any lien on the 2010 Digester Project or any other property making up part of the
System, other than liens securing Debt where a parity or senior lien secures the Series 2010EFG
Bonds; provided that this Section 2.5 shall not be deemed to be violated if a mechanic’s or
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.
68
17
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 2010EFG Bonds 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 2010EFG
Bonds 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 2010EFG Bonds
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.
ARTICLE III
USE OF PROCEEDS; THE 2010 DIGESTER PROJECT
Section 3.1 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of the 2010EFG
Loans from the DNRC solely as follows:
(a) The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of the 2010EFG Loans solely to the financing,
refinancing or reimbursement of the costs of the 2010 Digester Project as set forth in Appendix
A hereto and this Section 3.1. The 2010EFG Loans will be disbursed in accordance with
ARTICLE IV hereof and Article VII of the Indenture. If the 2010 Digester Project has not been

2010 Digester Project and expend proceeds of the 2010EFG Loans to pay the costs of
completing the 2010 Digester Project.
(b) No portion of the proceeds of the 2010EFG Loans shall be used to reimburse the
Borrower for costs paid prior to the date of adoption of this Supplemental Resolution of a Project
the construction or acquisition of which occurred or began earlier than March 7, 1985. In
addition, if any proceeds of the Loan are to be used to reimburse the Borrower for 2010 Digester
Project costs paid prior to the date of adoption of this Supplemental Resolution, the Borrower
shall have complied with Section 1.150-2 of the Regulations in respect of such costs.
(c) Any Debt to be refinanced with proceeds of the Loan was incurred after March 7,
1985 for a Project the construction or acquisition of which began after March 7, 1985. No
proceeds of the Loan shall be used for the purpose of refinancing an obligation the interest on
69
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.
18
Section 3.2 The 2010 Digester Project. Set forth in Appendix A to this Supplemental
Resolution is a description of the 2010 Digester Project, which describes the property which has

activity), and an estimated budget relating to the 2010 Digester Project. The 2010 Digester
Project may be changed and the description thereof in Appendix A may be amended from time to
time by the Borrower but only after delivery to the DNRC of the following:
(a) A certificate of the Borrower setting forth the amendment to Appendix A and stating
the reason therefor, including statements whether the amendment would cause an increase or
decrease in the cost of the 2010 Digester Project, an increase or decrease in the amount of Loan
proceeds which will be required to complete the 2010 Digester Project and whether the change
will materially accelerate or delay the construction schedule for the 2010 Digester Project;
(b) A written consent to such change in the 2010 Digester Project by an Authorized
DNRC Officer;
(c) An Opinion or Opinions of Bond Counsel stating that the 2010 Digester Project, as
constituted after such amendment, is, and was at the time the State Bonds were issued, eligible
for financing under the State Act and is, and was at the time the Series 2010EFG Bonds was
issued, eligible for financing under the Act, such amendment will not violate the State Act or the
Act and such amendment will not adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the State Bonds or
the Series 2010EFG Bonds from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. Such an
Opinion of Bond Counsel shall not be required for amendments which do not affect the type of
facility to be constructed or activity to be financed.
The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that an increase in the principal amount of the
2010EFG Loans may be made only upon an application to the DEQ, the DNRC and the Trustee,
in such form as the DEQ shall specify, which is approved by the DEQ and the DNRC, in their
sole and absolute discretion, and adoption by the governing body of the Borrower of a resolution
amendatory of or supplementary to the Resolution authorizing the additional loan and delivery of
written certifications by officers of the Borrower to the DEQ, the DNRC and the Trustee to the
effect that all representations and covenants contained in the 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 or thereafter.
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 2010EFG Loans to pay costs of
the 2010 Digester Project or as to the availability of additional funds under the Program to
increase the principal amount of the Loan.

ARTICLE IV
THE LOAN
Section 4.1 The Loan; Disbursement of Loan.
(a) The DNRC has agreed to lend to the Borrower, from time to time as the requirements
of this Section 4.1 are met, an amount up to (i) $384,000 (the “2010E Committed Amount”), (ii)
$816,000 (the “2010F Committed Amount”), and (iii) $3,903,000 (the “2010G Committed
Amount”) for the purposes of financing, refinancing or reimbursing the Borrower for a portion of
the costs of the 2010 Digester Project; provided the DNRC shall not be required to loan any
proceeds of the State Bonds to the Borrower after the Estimated Completion Date. The
Committed Amount may be reduced as provided in Section 3.2 and Section 3.4 of this
Supplemental Resolution and subject to the operation of Section 5.6
(b) The DNRC intends to disburse the 2010EFG Loans through the Trustee. In
consideration of the issuance of the Series 2010EFG Bonds by the Borrower, the DNRC shall
make, or cause the Trustee to make, a disbursement of all or a portion of the 2010EFG Loans
upon receipt of the following documents:
(1) an Opinion of Bond Counsel as to the Series 2010E Bond and an opinion of
Bond Counsel as to the validity and enforceability of the Series 2010F Bond and 2010G
Bond and the security therefor and stating in effect that interest on the Series 2010F Bond
and the Series 2010G 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 2010E Bond, the Series 2010F Bond, and the Series 2010G Bond,
fully executed and authenticated;
(3) a certified copy of the Original Resolution and this Supplemental Resolution;
(4) any other security instruments or documents required by the DNRC or DEQ
as a condition to their approval of the 2010EFG Loans;
(5) if all or part of a Loan is being made to refinance a Project or reimburse the
Borrower for the costs of a Project paid prior to the Closing, evidence, satisfactory to the
DNRC and the Bond Counsel referred to in (1) above, (A) that the acquisition or
construction of the Project was begun no earlier than March 7, 1985 or the debt was
incurred no earlier than March 7, 1985, (B) of the Borrower’s title to the Project, (C) of
the costs of such Project and that such costs have been paid by the 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 2010EFG Loans to
be disbursed at Closing; and
72
21
(7) such other certificates, documents and other information as the DNRC, the
DEQ or the Bond Counsel giving the opinion referred to in subparagraph (1) may require
(including any necessary arbitrage rebate instructions).
(c) In order to obtain a disbursement of a portion of the 2010EFG Loans to pay costs of
the 2010 Digester 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. The Borrower may obtain disbursements only for costs which have been legally
incurred and are due and payable. All Loan disbursements will be made to the Borrower only
upon proof that cost was incurred.
(d) Provided that the 2010 EPA Capitalization Grant is available to the Program, from
and after the 2010F First Advance, the 2010EFG Loans shall be disbursed, subject to the other
terms and conditions of this Supplemental Resolution, in the following order:
(1) First, at the Closing, the 2010F First Advance will be advanced
from the 2010F Loan.
(2) Second, after the 2010F First Advance has been disbursed to
the Borrower, the entire amount of the 2010E Loan may then be disbursed to the
Borrower as and when needed. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts of the
2010EFG Loans to be disbursed at Closing in excess of the 2010F First Advance
will be disbursed as proceeds of the 2010E Loan to the extent of the 2010E
Committed Amount.
(3) Third, after the entire principal amount of the 2010E Loan has
been disbursed to the Borrower, the Borrower shall draw the remaining amounts
under the 2010F Loan and, after the 2010F Loan has been disbursed in full, the
Borrower will then draw amounts under the 2010G Loan, which will be disbursed
to the Borrower, starting with the 2010G First Advance, as and when needed.
(e) The Borrower shall submit the request for the 2010F First Advance and the 2010G
First Advance 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
2010F First Advance and the 2010G First Advance, respectively. The Borrower shall not be
entitled to, and the DNRC shall have no obligation to make, the 2010F First Advance or the
2010G First Advance or any subsequent advance of amounts under the 2010F Loan or the 2010G
Loan until such time as the Borrower shall have set aside and funded the Reserve Account in an
amount then required to satisfy the Reserve Requirement.
(f) For refinancings, a disbursement schedule complying with the requirements of the
Clean Water Act shall be established by the DNRC and the Borrower at Closing.
(g) If all or a portion of the 2010EFG Loans 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
73
pursuant to a disbursement schedule complying with the requirements of the Clean Water Act
established by the DNRC and the Borrower at the Closing.
22
(h) Notwithstanding anything else provided herein, the Trustee shall not be obligated to
disburse the 2010EFG Loans 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 Loan
disbursements 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.
(i) Upon making each 2010E Loan disbursement, 2010F Loan disbursement, and 2010G
Loan Disbursement, the Trustee shall note such disbursement on Schedule A to the Series 2010E
Bond, Series 2010F Bond, and the Series 2010G Bond, respectively. A Schedule A reflecting
the amount of the 2010F First Advance will first be attached to the Series 2010F Bond at
Closing.
(j) The Borrower agrees that it will deposit in the Reserve Account upon receipt thereof,
on the date of the 2010F First Advance and any subsequent disbursement dates, any proceeds of
the 2010F Loan and the 2010G 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 2010EFG Loans 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 Bond Account. The amount of any such transfer shall be a credit against the interest
payments due on the Series 2010EFG Bonds and interest thereon shall accrue only from the date
of transfer.
(k) Compliance by the Borrower with its representations, covenants and agreements
contained in the Original Resolution, this Supplemental Resolution and the Collateral Documents
shall be a further condition precedent to the disbursement of the 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 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 otherwise provided in this Supplemental Resolution. However, the obligation to make
payments under ARTICLE V hereof shall commence only upon the first disbursement by the
Trustee of the 2010F Loan proceeds.
Section 4.3 Termination of Loan Term. The Borrower’s obligations under the
Resolution and the Collateral Documents in respect of the Series 2010EFG Bonds shall terminate
upon payment in full of all amounts due under the Series 2010EFG Bonds and the Resolution in
respect thereof; provided, however, that the covenants and obligations provided in ARTICLE VI
and Section 10.3 of this Supplemental Resolution shall survive the termination of the Resolution.
74
23
Section 4.4 Loan Closing Submissions. On or prior to the Closing, the Borrower will
have delivered to the DNRC and the Trustee the closing submissions required by Section 7.05 of
the Indenture.

Borrower’s obligation to repay the principal of the 2010E Loan is forgiven as provided in
Section 5.1.2 below, amounts disbursed by the DNRC under Section 4.1 hereof that are
evidenced by the Series 2010E Bond bear interest at the rate of zero percent (0.00%) per annum
from the date of each advance; provided, however, if the DNRC delivers to the Borrower a
Noncompliance Statement, then all principal of the Series 2010E Bond advanced by the DNRC
shall be payable and amounts disbursed by the DNRC under Section 4.1 hereof that are
evidenced by the Series 2010E Bond shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2.00%) per
annum and in addition the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Expense Surcharge and the
Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge from the date of each advance under the Series 2010E Bond. The
2010F Loan and the 2010G Loan shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2.00%) per annum
and the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Expense Surcharge and Loan Loss Reserve
Surcharge on the outstanding principal amounts of the 2010F Loan and the 2010G Loan. For
purposes of this Resolution and the Program, with respect to the 2010E Loan, the 2010F Loan,
and the 2010G Loan, the term “interest on the 2010EFG Loans” or “interest on the 2010E Loan”
or “interest on the Series 2010F Loan” or “interest on the Series 2010G Loan” when not used in
conjunction with a reference to any surcharges, shall include the Administrative Expense
Surcharge and the Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge. The Borrower shall pay all Loan Repayments
and surcharges in lawful money of the United States of America to the DNRC. Interest,
Administrative Expense Surcharge, and Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge shall be calculated on the
basis of a year of 360 days comprising 12 months of 30 days each.
5.1.2. Repayment of 2010E Loan; Principal Forgiveness.
(a) The Borrower is obligated to repay the principal of and interest and Administrative
Expense Surcharge and Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge on the 2010E Loan, unless the DNRC
forgives the Borrower’s obligation to repay the principal of the 2010E Loan as provided in
Section 5.1.2(b). Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1.2(b), the Loan Repayments and the
Administrative Expense Surcharge and Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge on the 2010E Loan shall
be due on each Payment Date, as follows:
(1) interest and the Administrative Expense Surcharge and the Loan Loss
Reserve Surcharge on the outstanding principal balance of the 2010E Loan
shall be payable from and after the date of each advance of principal of the
2010E Loan on each Payment Date at the rate of 3.75% per annum,
75

beginning on the first Payment Date following the date of delivery by the
DNRC of a Noncompliance Statement and concluding on July 1, 2030;
and
(2) the principal of the 2010E Loan shall be repayable on each Payment Date,
beginning on the Payment Date that is the first to occur following delivery
by the DNRC of a Noncompliance Statement, and concluding on July 1,
2030, and the amount of each principal payment shall be calculated on the
basis of a substantially level debt service at the rate of 3.75% per annum.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.1.2(a), so long as the Borrower is proceeding diligently to
completion of the 2010 Digester Project and the Borrower has executed and delivered the
Forgiveness Certificate to the DNRC in form and substance satisfactory to the DNRC and the
DEQ within thirty (30) days after the date that the Forgiveness Certificate is provided to the
Borrower by the DNRC, the DNRC will, following review and approval of the Forgiveness
Certificate, deliver to the Borrower a Forgiveness Statement and the Borrower will thereafter
have no obligation to repay amounts advanced under the Series 2010E Bond or interest or
surcharges thereon and the Series 2010E Bond will be marked “CANCELLED” and returned by
the DNRC to the Borrower. However, in the event the Borrower fails to deliver timely the
Forgiveness Certificate, or the Borrower cannot submit the Forgiveness Certificate because it
cannot make the certifications required therein, or the Forgiveness Certificate is delivered in a
form that deviates materially from that attached hereto as Appendix D as determined in the sole
and complete discretion of the DNRC or the DEQ, or the DNRC or the DEQ determine at any
time that the 2010 Digester Project or any portion thereof or of the work relating thereto fails to
comply with Program requirements, then the DNRC will deliver to the Borrower a
Noncompliance Statement. Upon delivery of a Noncompliance Statement by the DNRC to the
Borrower, all principal advanced or to be advanced under the Series 2010E Bond, together with
interest, Administrative Expense Surcharge, and Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge thereon from the
date of each advance, shall be payable as provided in Section 5.1.2 (a).
(c) In addition, in the event the DNRC delivers a Noncompliance Statement (i) the Series
2010E Bond will continue in effect as a Subordinate Obligation, and (ii) the Borrower will
forthwith comply with the rate covenant set forth in Section 6.7 of the Original Resolution, as
implemented as described in Section 12.2 below, and, if necessary, increase the rates and charges
of the System to satisfy such rate covenant as soon as practicable and in any event no later than
three (3) months after the date of delivery to the Borrower by the DNRC of a Noncompliance
Statement.
5.1.3. Repayment of 2010F Loan. The Loan Repayments on the 2010F Loan
required by this Section 5.1 shall be due on each Payment Date, as follows:
(1) interest and Administrative Expense Surcharge and Loan Loss Reserve
Surcharge on the outstanding principal balance of the 2010F Loan shall be
payable on each January 1 and July 1, beginning on January 1, 2011 and
concluding on July 1, 2030; and
76
25
(2) the principal of the 2010F Loan shall be repayable on January 1, 2011, and
concluding on July 1, 2030, and the amount of each principal payment
shall be calculated on the basis of a substantially level debt service at a
rate of 3.75% per annum; provided that principal of the 2010F Loan is
payable only in amounts that are multiples of $1,000.
5.1.4. Repayment of 2010G Loan. The Loan Repayments on the 2010G Loan
required by this Section 5.1 shall be due on each Payment Date, as follows:

Surcharge on the outstanding principal balance of the 2010G Loan shall
be payable on each January 1 and July 1, beginning on the first to occur of
either of such dates following the date of the 2010G First Advance, which
is the first Payment Date after the 2010G First Advance, but in any event
no earlier than January 1, 2011 and concluding on July 1, 2030; and
(2) the principal of the 2010G Loan shall be repayable on each Payment Date,
beginning on the January 1 or July 1 that is the first to occur following the
date of the 2010G First Advance, but in any event no earlier than January
1, 2011, and concluding July 1, 2030, and the amount of each principal
payment shall be calculated on the basis of a substantially level debt
service at a rate of 3.75% per annum; provided that principal of the 2010G
Loan is payable only in amounts that are multiples of $1,000.
5.1.5. Details Regarding 2010 Loan Repayments. Loan Repayments and
the Administrative Expense Surcharge and the Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge on the 2010F Loan
and the 2010G Loan and, if applicable, on the 2010E Loan, shall be due on the dates specified
above and on the dates and in the amounts shown in Schedule B to the Series 2010E Bond, the
Series 2010F Bond, and the Series 2010G Bond, as such Schedule B shall be modified from time
to time as provided in Section 5.1.2 and below. Schedule B will first be attached to the Series
2010F Bond and, as appropriate, the Series 2010E Bond, at Closing. The portion of each such
Loan Repayment consisting of principal and the portion consisting of interest and the amount of
each Administrative Expense Surcharge and the amount of each Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge
shall be set forth in Schedule B to the Series 2010E Bond and the Series 2010F Bond at Closing
and in Schedule B to the Series 2010G Bond on the date of the 2010G First Advance. Upon each
disbursement of 2010EFG Loan amounts to the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, the
Trustee shall enter or cause to be entered the amount advanced on Schedule A to the applicable
Series 2010E Bond, the Series 2010F Bond, and the Series 2010G Bond under “Advances” and
the total amount advanced under Section 4.1, including such disbursement, under “Total Amount
Advanced.”
If the DNRC shall have delivered an Noncompliance Statement, then
Schedule B to the Series 2010E Bond shall continue to reflect interest and surcharges on
amounts advanced under the Series 2010E Bond at 3.75% per annum, as may be revised to
reflect the full principal amount advanced under the Series 2010E Bond, the initial Payment
Date, and the periodic total loan payment, and the Trustee shall send a copy of such schedules to
the Borrower within one month after delivery by the DNRC of the Noncompliance Statement. If
77
the DNRC delivers an Forgiveness Statement, Schedule B to the Series 2010E Bond will be
disregarded and of no effect.
26
The payments of principal of and interest and Administrative Expense
Surcharge and Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge on the 2010F Loan and 2010G Loan shall be due
on the dates and in the amounts shown in Schedule B to the Series 2010F Bond and the Series
2010G Bond, as such Schedule B shall be modified from time to time as provided below. The
portion of each such Loan Repayment consisting of principal and the portion consisting of
interest and the amount of each Administrative Expense Surcharge and the amount of each Loan
Loss Reserve Surcharge shall be set forth in Schedule B to the Series 2010F Bond and the Series
2010G Bond. Upon each disbursement of 2010F Loan and 2010G Loan amounts to the
Borrower pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, the Trustee shall enter or cause to be entered the
amount advanced on Schedule A to the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond under
“Advances” and the total amount advanced under Section 4.1, including such disbursement,
“Total Amount Advanced.” Interest and Administrative Expense Surcharge and Loan Loss
Reserve Surcharge on such advance shall accrue from the date the advance is made and shall be
payable on each Payment Date thereafter. Once the completion certificate for a Project has been
delivered to the DNRC, the Trustee shall revise Schedule B to the Series 2010F Bond and the
Series 2010G Bond in accordance with this Section 5.1 and the Trustee shall send a copy of such
Schedule B to the Borrower within one month after delivery of the completion certificate.
Past-due Loan Repayments and the Administrative Expense Surcharge and
the Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10.00%) per
annum, until paid.
Any payment of principal and interest as to the Series 2010F Bond and the
Series 2010G Bond and, if applicable, the Series 2010E Bond, and the Administrative Expense
Surcharge and the Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge as to the Series 2010G Bond and the Series
2010F Bond, and, if applicable, the Series 2010E Bond under this Section 5.1 shall be credited
against the same payment obligation under each of the Series 2010G Bond, the Series 2010F
Bond and, as applicable, the Series 2010E Bond.
Section 5.2 Additional Payments. The Borrower shall also pay, within 30 days after
receipt of a bill therefor, from any legally available funds therefor, including proceeds of the
Loan, if the Borrower so chooses, all reasonable expenses of the DNRC and the Trustee in
connection with the 2010EFG Loans, the Collateral Documents and the Series 2010EFG Bonds,
including, but not limited to:
(a) the cost of reproducing this Supplemental Resolution, the Collateral
Documents and the Series 2010EFG Bonds;
(b) the fees and disbursements of bond counsel and other Counsel utilized by
the DNRC and the Trustee in connection with the Loan, the Resolution, the Collateral
Documents and the Series 2010EFG Bonds and the enforcement thereof; and
(c) all taxes and other governmental charges in connection with the execution
and delivery of the Collateral Documents or the Series 2010EFG Bonds, whether or not the
78
Series 2010EFG Bonds are then outstanding, including all recording and filing fees relating to
the Collateral Documents and the pledge of the State’s right, title and interest in and to the Series
2010EFG Bonds, the Collateral Documents and the Resolution under the Resolution (and with
the exceptions noted therein) and all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, relating to any
amendments, waivers, consents or collection or enforcement proceedings pursuant to the
provisions hereof or thereof.
27
Section 5.3 Prepayments. The Borrower may not prepay all or any part of the
outstanding principal amount of the Series 2010F Bond, the Series 2010G Bond, and, if
applicable, the Series 2010E Bond, unless (i) a Forgiveness Statement has been delivered, (ii) it
obtains the prior written consent of the DNRC thereto, and (iii) 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, if
applicable, Administrative Expense Surcharge and Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge to the date of
prepayment on the amount of principal prepaid. If the Series 2010EFG Bonds are prepaid in part
pursuant to this Section 5.3, such prepayments shall be applied to principal payments in inverse
order of maturity.
Section 5.4 Obligations of Borrower Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower
to make the payments required by the Resolution and the Series 2010EFG Bonds and to perform
its other agreements contained in the Resolution, the Series 2010EFG Bonds and Collateral
Documents shall be absolute and unconditional, except as otherwise provided herein or in such
documents. The Borrower (a) shall not suspend or discontinue any payments provided for in the
Resolution and the Series 2010EFG Bonds, (b) shall perform all its other agreements in the
Resolution, the Series 2010EFG Bonds and the Collateral Documents and (c) shall not terminate
the Resolution, the Series 2010EFG Bonds or the Collateral Documents for any cause, including
any acts or circumstances that may constitute failure of consideration, destruction of or damage
to the 2010 Digester Project or the System, commercial frustration of purpose, any dispute with
the DNRC or the EPA, any change in the laws of the United States or of the State or any political
subdivision of either or any failure of the DNRC to perform any of its agreements, whether
express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising from or connected with the
Resolution.
Section 5.5 Limited Liability. All payments of principal of and interest on the
2010EFG Loans and other payment obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the Series
2010EFG Bonds shall be special, limited obligations of the Borrower payable solely out of the
Net Revenues or, as appropriate, Surplus Net Revenues, and shall not, except at the option of the
Borrower and as permitted by law, be payable out of any other revenues of the Borrower. The
obligations of the Borrower under the Resolution and the Series 2010EFG Bonds 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 on the Series 2010EFG
Bonds, and no funds or property of the Borrower other than the Net Revenues or, as appropriate,
Surplus Net Revenues may be required to be used to pay principal of or interest on the Series
2010EFG Bonds.

The Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and save harmless the
DNRC and the DEQ and their officers, employees and agents (each an "Indemnified Party" or,
collectively, the “Indemnified Parties") against and from any and all claims, damages, demands,
expenses, liabilities and losses of every kind asserted by or on behalf of any Person arising out of
the acts or omissions of the Borrower or its employees, officers, agents, contractors,
subcontractors, or consultants in connection with or with regard or in any way relating to the
condition, use, possession, conduct, management, planning, design, acquisition, construction,
installation or financing of the 2010 Digester Project. The Borrower shall also, to the extent
permitted by law, indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Parties against and from all
costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in any action or proceeding

ARTICLE VII
ASSIGNMENT
Section 7.1 Assignment by Borrower. The Borrower may not assign its rights and
obligations under the Resolution or the Series 2010EFG Bonds.
Section 7.2 Assignment by DNRC. The DNRC will pledge its rights under and
interest in the Resolution, the Series 2010EFG Bonds and the Collateral Documents (except to
the extent otherwise provided in the Indenture) as security for the payment of the State Bonds
and may further assign such interests to the extent permitted by the Indenture, without the
consent of the Borrower.
Section 7.3 State Refunding Bonds. In the event the State Bonds and Additional State
Bonds are refunded by bonds which are not Additional State Bonds, all references in the
Resolution to State Bonds and Additional State Bonds shall be deemed to refer to the refunding
bonds and any bonds of the State on a parity with such refunding bonds (together, the
“Refunding Bonds”) or, in the case of a crossover refunding, to the State Bonds and Additional
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.
ARTICLE VIII
THE SERIES 2010EFG BONDS
Section 8.1 Net Revenues Available. The Borrower is authorized to charge just and
equitable rates, charges and rentals for all services directly or indirectly furnished by the System,
80
and to pledge and appropriate to the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond the Net
Revenues (and in respect of the Series 2010E Bond, if necessary, the Surplus Net Revenues) to
be derived from the operation of the System, including improvements, betterments or extensions
thereof hereafter constructed or acquired. The Net Revenues to be produced by such rates,
charges and rentals during the term of the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond are
expected to be more than sufficient to pay the principal and interest when due on the Series
2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond, and to create and maintain reasonable reserves therefor
and to provide an adequate allowance for replacement and depreciation, as prescribed herein.
For purposes of the foregoing statement, principal of and interest on the 2010E Loan are
disregarded. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if the DNRC delivers a
Noncompliance Statement to the Borrower as provided in Section 5.1.2 as determined in the sole
and complete discretion of the DNRC, then principal and interest and surcharges will become
due and owing on the 2010E Loan evidenced by the Series 2010E Bond as provided in Section
5.1 and the Borrower shall thereupon, and no later than three months after delivery of such a
statement, to the extent required by Section 6.7 of the Original Resolution, as implemented as
described in Section 12.2 below, adjust its schedule of fees, rates, and charges applicable to the
System to cause Net Revenues and Surplus Net Revenues to be produced in an amount at least
equal to that required by the Resolution.
29
Section 8.2 Issuance and Sale of the Series 2010EFG Bonds. The Commission has
investigated the facts necessary and hereby finds, determines and declares it to be necessary and
desirable for the Borrower to issue the Series 2010EFG Bonds to evidence the 2010EFG Loans.
The Series 2010EFG Bonds are issued to the DNRC without public sale pursuant to Montana
Code Annotated, Section 7-7-4433(2)(a).
Section 8.3 Terms. The Series 2010E Bond, the Series 2010F Bond, and the Series
2010G Bond shall be in the maximum principal amount equal to the original 2010E Committed
Amount, 2010F Committed Amount, and 2010G Committed Amount, respectively, shall each be
issued as a single, fully registered bond numbered R-1, shall be dated as of the date of delivery to
the DNRC, and shall bear interest at the rate charged by the DNRC on the 2010E Loan, 2010F
Loan, and 2010G Loan, respectively. The principal of and interest on the Series 2010F Bond
and the Series 2010G Bond, and, if applicable, the principal of and interest on the Series 2010E
Bond and any Administrative Expense Surcharge and Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge shall be
payable on the same dates and in the same amounts on which principal and interest of the Loan
Repayments are payable. Advances of principal of the Series 2010E Bond or Series 2010F Bond
or Series 2010G Bond shall be deemed made when advances of the 2010E Loan or 2010F Loan
or 2010G Loan, respectively, are made under Section 4.1, and such advances shall be payable in
accordance with Schedule B to the Series 2010F Bond, the Series 2010G Bond, and, if
applicable, the Series 2010E Bond, as the case may be, as it may be revised by the DNRC from
time to time in accordance with Section 5.1. The Series 2010E Bond is a Subordinate Obligation
payable only from the Surplus Net Revenues available in the Fund. The Series 2010F Bond and
the Series 2010G Bond are Bonds.
The Borrower may prepay the Series 2010EFG Bonds, in whole or in part, only upon the
terms and conditions under which it can prepay the 2010EFG Loans under Section 5.3.
81
30
Section 8.4 Negotiability, Transfer and Registration. The Series 2010EFG Bonds
shall be fully registered as to both principal and interest, and shall be initially registered in the
name of and payable to the DNRC. While so registered, principal of and interest on the Series
2010EFG Bonds shall be payable to the DNRC at the Office of the Department of Natural
Resources and Conservation, 1625 Eleventh Avenue, Helena, Montana 59620-1601 or such other
place as may be designated by the DNRC in writing and delivered to the Borrower. The Series
2010EFG Bonds shall be negotiable, subject to the provisions for registration and transfer
contained in this Section. No transfer of the Series 2010EFG Bonds shall be valid unless and
until (1) the holder, or his duly authorized attorney or legal representative, has executed the form
of assignment appearing on the Series 2010EFG Bonds, and (2) the Director of Finance of the
Borrower (or successors, the “Registrar”), as Bond Registrar, has duly noted the transfer on the
Series 2010EFG Bonds and recorded the transfer on the registration books of the Registrar. The
Registrar may, prior to noting and recording the transfer, require appropriate proof of the
transferor’s authority and the genuineness of the transferor’s signature. The Borrower shall be
entitled to deem and treat the Person in whose name the Series 2010EFG Bonds is registered as
the absolute owner of the Series 2010EFG Bonds for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary, and all payments to the registered holder shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the Borrower’s liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Section 8.5 Execution and Delivery. The Series 2010EFG Bonds shall be executed on
behalf of the Borrower by the manual signatures of the Mayor, the Director of Finance, and the
Clerk of the Commission. Any or all of such signatures may be affixed at or prior to the date of
delivery of the Series 2010EFG Bonds. The Series 2010EFG Bonds shall be sealed with the
corporate seal of the Borrower. In the event that any of the officers who shall have signed the
Series 2010EFG Bonds shall cease to be officers of the Borrower before the Series 2010EFG
Bonds are issued or delivered, their signatures shall remain binding upon the Borrower.
Conversely, the Series 2010EFG Bonds may be signed by an authorized official who did not
hold such office on the date of adoption of this Supplemental Resolution. The Series 2010EFG
Bonds shall be delivered to the DNRC, or its attorney or legal representative.
Section 8.6 Form. The Series 2010E Bond shall be prepared in substantially the form
attached as Appendix B-1, the Series 2010F Bond shall be prepared in substantially the form
attached as Appendix B-2, and the Series 2010G Bond shall be prepared in substantially the form
attached as Appendix B-3.
ARTICLE IX
SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2010EFG BONDS
The Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond are issued as Bonds under the
Original Resolution, as implemented as described in this Supplemental Resolution, and shall,
with any other Additional Bonds issued under the provisions of Article 10 of the Original
Resolution be equally and ratably secured by the provisions of the Resolution and payable out of
the Net Revenues appropriated to the Revenue Bond Account of the Sewer System Fund,
without preference or priority, all as provided in the Resolution, and secured by the Reserve
Account, as further provided in Section 11.5 of the Original Resolution and in the following
sentence. Upon advancement of principal of the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond,
82
the Director of Finance of the Borrower shall transfer from proceeds of the Series 2010F Bond
and the Series 2010G Bond such amount or amounts to the Reserve Account to cause the balance
therein to equal the Reserve Requirement, treating such principal amount as outstanding. Upon
the each advance of the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond, the deposit to the
Reserve Account shall be sufficient to cause the balance in the Reserve Account to equal the
Reserve Requirement in respect of the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond so
advanced. The Series 2010E Bond is a Subordinate Obligation issued under Section 10.4 of the
Original Resolution and payable from the Surplus Net Revenues that are available after required
credits to the Operating Account, the Revenue Bond Account, and the Reserve Account. No
payment of principal or interest shall be made on any Subordinate Bond, including the Series
2010E Bond, if the City is then in default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Bond
or if there is a deficiency in the Operating Account or the Revenue Bond Account or the balance
in the Reserve Account is less than the Reserve Requirement. In the event the principal of and
interest and Administrative Expense Surcharge and Loan Loss Reserve Surcharge become
payable under the Series 2010E Bond, the Borrower shall cause rates and charges to be increased
to produce Net Revenues at least equal to the amount required under Section 6.7 of the Original
Resolution, as implemented by Section 12.2 below, within three (3) months following delivery of
a Noncompliance Statement. The Borrower shall keep, perform and observe each and every one
of its covenants and undertakings set forth in the Resolution for the benefit of the registered
owners from time to time of the Series 2010EFG Bonds.
31
ARTICLE X
TAX MATTERS
Section 10.1 Use of 2010 Digester Project. The 2010 Digester Project will be owned
and operated by the Borrower and available for use by members of the general public on a
substantially equal basis. The Borrower shall not enter into any lease, use or other agreement
with any non-governmental person relating to the use of the 2010 Digester Project or the System
or security for the payment of the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond which might
cause the Series 2010F Bond or the Series 2010G 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 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G 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 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G 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 2010F Bond
and the Series 2010G Bond will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax
purposes under the Code and the Regulations.
Section 10.3 Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor, the Director of Finance, and the
Clerk of the Commission, being the officers of the Borrower charged with the responsibility for
issuing the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond pursuant to this Supplemental
Resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the DNRC a certificate in
accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and Section 1.148-2(b) of the
83
Regulations, stating that on the basis of facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the
date of issue and delivery of the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond, it is reasonably
expected that the proceeds of the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond will be used in
a manner that would not cause the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond to be an
“arbitrage bond” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations.
32
Section 10.4 Arbitrage Rebate. The Borrower acknowledges that the Series 2010F
Bond and the Series 2010G Bond are 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 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond from gross income for federal income tax
purposes, unless the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond qualify for the exception
from the rebate requirement under Section 148(f)(4)(B) of the Code and no “gross proceeds” of
the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G 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 Director of Finance, and the Clerk of the
Commission 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.
Section 10.5 Information Reporting. The Borrower shall file with the Secretary of the
Treasury, not later than August 15, 2010, a statement concerning the Series 2010F Bond and the
Series 2010G Bond containing the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code.
Section 10.6 “Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations.” Pursuant to Section 265(b)(3)(B)(ii)
of the Code, the Borrower hereby designates the Series 2010F Bond and the Series 2010G Bond
as a “qualified tax-exempt obligation” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The
Borrower has not designated any obligations in 2010 other than the Series 2010F Bond and the
Series 2010G Bond under Section 265(b)(3). The Borrower hereby represents that it does not
anticipate that obligations bearing interest not includable in gross income for purposes of federal
income taxation under Section 103 of the Code (including refunding obligations as provided in
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code and including “qualified 501(c)(3) bonds” but excluding other
“private activity bonds,” as defined in Sections 141(a) and 145(a) of the Code) will be issued by
or on behalf of the Borrower and all “subordinate entities” of the Borrower in 2010 in an amount
greater than $30,000,000.
ARTICLE XI
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The Borrower understands and acknowledges that the DNRC is acquiring the Series
2010EFG Bonds under the Program pursuant to which the State issues from time to time State
Bonds to provide funds therefor. The Borrower covenants and agrees that, upon written request
of the DNRC from time to time, the Borrower will promptly provide to the DNRC all
information that the DNRC reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate to offer and sell
84
State Bonds or to provide continuing disclosure in respect of State Bonds, whether under Rule
15c2-12 (17 C.F.R. § 240.15c2-12) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise. Such information shall
include, among other things and if so requested, financial statements of the Borrower prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board as modified in accordance with the governmental accounting
standards promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board or as otherwise
provided under Montana law, as in effect from time to time (such financial statements to relate to
a fiscal year or any period therein 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
Mayor and the Director of Finance of the Borrower to the effect that, to the best of their
knowledge, such information does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

IMPLEMENTATION
This Article XII describes the implementation of the provisions of the Original
Resolution as they apply to the Series 2009 Bonds.
Section 12.1 Implementation of Original Resolution Section 6.7. For purposes of
construing Section 6.7 of the Original Resolution, principal of and interest on the Series 2010E
Bond shall initially be disregarded. However, in the event the Borrower’s obligation to repay the
principal of the Series 2010E Bond is not forgiven as described in Section 5.1.2 of this

months after delivery of a Noncompliance Statement, cause the rates, charges and rentals to be
charged to all recipients of sewer services to be maintained and to be revised whenever and as
often as may be necessary, according to schedules such that gross revenues for each fiscal year
will be at least sufficient to pay the current expenses of operation and maintenance as defined in
the Original Resolution, to maintain the Operating Reserve herein established, to maintain the
amounts in the Reserve Account at the Reserve Requirement, to produce Net Revenues during
each fiscal year, not less than 125% of the maximum annual principal and interest payable on
any outstanding Bonds in the current or any future fiscal year, and to produce sufficient Surplus
Net Revenues to pay Subordinate Obligations (including, without limitation, the Series 2010A
Bond and the Series 2010E Bond with interest at 3.75% per annum) as and when due.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA (the “Borrower”),
a duly organized municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Montana,
acknowledges itself to be specially indebted and hereby promises to pay to the Department of
Natural Resources and Conservation of the State of Montana (the “DNRC”), or its registered

Borrower of a statement that the Borrower’s obligation to repay the principal amount of the

This Series 2010E Bond, including interest and any premium for the redemption thereof,
are payable solely from the Surplus Net Revenues available for the payment hereof and do not
constitute a debt of the Borrower within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation
or provision.

registered as the absolute owner hereof, whether this Series 2010E 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 2010E Bond may be transferred as hereinafter
provided.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED that the
Borrower will forthwith construct and complete the improvements to the System hereinabove
described; that it will prescribe and collect reasonable rates and charges for all services and
facilities afforded by the System, including all additions thereto and replacements and

sufficient, to provide gross income and revenues adequate to pay promptly the reasonable and
current expenses of operating and maintaining the System, to produce in each fiscal year Net
Revenues in excess of such current expenses, equal to at least 125% of the maximum amount of
principal and interest payable from the Revenue Bond Account in any subsequent fiscal year and
to produce in each fiscal year adequate Surplus Net Revenues to pay the principal of and interest

issued on a parity with the Outstanding Bonds (such bonds, the “Bonds”) and refunding Bonds
may be issued and made payable from the Revenue Bond Account on a parity with the
Outstanding Bonds and other parity 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 and any additional parity Bonds on such Net Revenues (such as is the case with this
Series 2010E Bond); that all provisions for the security of the holder of this Series 2010E 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
