thereof for federal income tax purposes. In addition, the Borrower agrees that it will not enter

System and the cost of maintaining and operating it, and the amounts necessary for the payment
of all Bonds and the interest accruing thereon, and the proper and necessary allowances for the
depreciation of the System, and no free service shall be provided to Person. It is covenanted and
agreed that the rates, charges and rentals to be charged to all recipients of water services shall be
maintained and shall be revised, whenever and as often as may be necessary, according to
schedules such that the revenues for each fiscal year will be at least sufficient to pay the
Operating Expenses, to maintain the balance in the Reserve Account at the Reserve
Requirement, to provide reserves for the replacement and depreciation of the System, to maintain
the Operating Reserve, to produce Net Revenues during each fiscal year commencing with the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, 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 pay any
Subordinate Obligations as and when due.

actually received during such year have been less than required hereby, the Borrower will
forthwith prepare a schedule of altered rates, charges and rentals which are just and equitable and
sufficient to produce Net Revenues and Surplus Net Revenues in such amounts, and place such
schedule in operation at the earliest possible date.
The establishment of tile above ratio of Net Revenues to principal and interest on
the Bonds is deemed necessary for the D RC to make the 2011 Loans to the Borrower. Net
Revenues in excess of the requirements of this Section 6.7 may be used as authorized in Article
XI of this Resolution.

of the Borrower in the payment of principal of or interest on any Bond promptly as each falls
due, or in the keeping of any covenants herein contained, and if such default shall continue for a

27
the System, with the power and responsibility to operate the System for the Borrower, and to
recommend to the governing body of the Borrower such revisions of the rates and charges and
operating policies as may be necessary to comply with this Resolution, and to assure that the Net
Revenues will be sufficient to pay all principal of and interest on Bonds, and he shall in all things
so operate the System as to comply fully with all the requirements and provisions of this
Resolution. The right of the owners of the Bonds to require appointment of such a
superintendent shall not be exclusive, and in the event of default hereunder, such owner or
owners shall have the right to proceed at law or in equity, in any form of action which shall to
them seem appropriate.

premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall be payable solely from Net Revenues (other
than to the extent payable out of proceeds of the Bonds). The Bonds shall not be or constitute a.
pledge of the general credit or taxing powers of the Borrower of any kind whatsoever. Neither
the Bonds nor any of the agreements or obligations of the Borrower contained herein shall be
construed to constitute an indebtedness of the State or the Borrower within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory provisions whatsoever.
Each and all of the Bonds shall be equally and ratably secured without preference
or priority of any one Bond over any other by reason of serial number, date of issue, or
otherwise.
Each series of Bonds (except the Series 2011 Bonds, which is created by Article
IX) shall be created by a Supplemental Resolution. The Bonds of each series (other than the
Series 2011 Bonds, as to which specific provision is made in this Resolution) shall bear such
date or dates, shall be payable at such place or places, shall have such stated maturities and
redemption dates, shall bear interest at such rate or rates, from such date or dates, shall be
payable in such installments and on such dates and at such place or places, and may be
redeemable at such price or prices and upon such terms (in addition to the prices and terms
herein specified for redemption of all Bonds) as shall be provided in the Supplemental
Resolution creating that series, all upon such terms as the Borrower may determine. The
Borrower may, at the time of the creation of any series of Bonds or at any time thereafter, make,
and the Bonds of that series may contain provision for:
(a) a sinking, amortization, improvement or other analogous fund;
(b) limiting the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of that series and of
additional Bonds thereafter to be issued;
(c) exchanging Bonds of that series, at the option of the holders thereof, for
other Bonds of the same series of the same aggregate principal amount of a different
authorized kind or authorized denomination or denominations; or
(d) registration, transfer and delivery.
Section 10.2. Refunding Revenue Bonds The Borrower reserves the right and
privilege of refunding any or all of the Bonds subject to the following terms and conditions:
31
(a) Any matured Bonds may be refunded if moneys available for the
payment thereof at maturity, within the limitation prescribed in Section 10.0 1, should at
any time be insufficient to make such payment in full.
(b) Any Bonds may be refunded prior to maturity as and when they
become prepayable according to their terms.
(c) Provision may be made for the payment and refunding of any
unmatured Bonds by the deposit with a duly qualified depository bank, as escrow agent,
of cash sufficient, or of securities of the kinds authorized by law, the payments of interest
on and principal of which are sufficient, to pay the principal amount of and premium, if
any, on such Bonds with interest to maturity or to any prior date or dates on which they
are prepayable, and have been called for redemption or provision has been irrevocably
made for their redemption, on such date or dates.
(d) Any refunding; revenue Bonds issued for the above purposes may
be made payable from the Net Revenues on a parity as to interest with all then
outstanding Bonds; provided that (1) if not all of the Bonds of a series are refunded, the
maturity of each refunding revenue Bond shall be subsequent to the last maturity of any
then outstanding Bonds of such series which are not refunded or to be refunded out of
moneys on deposit with such escrow agent, and (2) no Bondowner shall be required to
accept a refunding revenue Bond in exchange for any Bond owned by him.
Section 10.3. Other Parity Bonds The Borrower reserves the right to issue
additional Bonds payable from the Revenue Bond Account, on a parity as to both principal and
interest with the Series 2011 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 said 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, and so long as the DNRC is the holder of any
Bonds, the written consent of the DNRC shall be obtained prior to the issuance of such
additional Bonds. For the purpose of the foregoing computation, the Net Revenues for the fiscal
year preceding the issuance of additional Bonds shall be those shown by the financial reports
caused to be prepared by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(e), except that if the rates and
charges for services provided by the System 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 or finally authorized to go into effect within 60 days thereafter shall be applied to the
quantities of service actually rendered and made available during such preceding fiscal year to
ascertain the gross revenues, fi which there shall be deducted to detennine the Net Revenues,
the actual operation and maintenance cost plus any additional annual costs of operation and
maintenance which 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 this Resolution to be maintained in any of the accounts of the Water System Fund,
which will not be cured or restored upon the issuance of the additional Bonds. In connection
32
with the issuance of a series of additional Bonds, the Borrower shall cause amounts in the
Reserve Account to be increased, from the proceeds of the additional Bonds or from surplus Net
Revenues, to an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement during the term of the outstanding
Bonds or so much thereof as will not cause the Borrower to violate the provisions of Section 12.2
hereof.
Section 10.4. Subordinate Bonds. Nothing in this Resolution shall preclude the
Borrower from issuing additional bonds, notes or other obligations which are expressly made a
charge on only the Surplus Net Revenues of the System subordinate to the pledge of Net
Revenues to the Revenue Bond Account and the Reserve Account (such additional obligations,
the "Subordinate Obligations"); provided, however, no obligations may be issued pursuant to this
Section 10.4 if a deficiency exists in the Revenue Bond Account or the Reserve Account which
is not to be restored by the issuance of the subordinate obligations. Any Surplus Net Revenues
segregated to pay such subordinate lien obligations in the Water System Fund are subject to the
prior appropriation thereof to the Operating Account, the Revenue Bond Account or the Reserve
Account if necessary to meet the requirements thereof.
FRIANOTWON
WATER SYSTEM FUND
Section 11.1. Bond Proceeds and Revenues Pledged and Appropriated. A
special Water System Fund is hereby created and shall be maintained as a separate and special
bookkeeping account on the official books of the Borrower until all Bonds and interest and
redemption premiums due thereon have been fully paid, or the Borrower's obligations with
reference to such Bonds have been discharged as provided in this Resolution, All proceeds of
Bonds issued hereunder and all other funds presently on hand derived from the operation of the
System are irrevocably pledged and appropriated to the Water System Fund. In addition, there is
hereby irrevocably pledged and appropriated to the Water System Fund all gross revenues and
receipts from rates, fees, charges and rentals imposed for connections with and for the
availability, benefit and use of the System and from any sales of property acquired for the
System and all income received from the investment of such gross revenues, including
investment of the reserve established in the Reserve Account and the Operating Reserve
established in the Operating Account, but excluding any special assessments or taxes levied for
construction of any part of the System and the proceeds of any grant or loan from the State or the
United States, and any investment income thereon, to the extent such exclusion is a condition to
such grant or loan. The Water System Fund shall be subdivided into separate accounts as
designated and described in Sections 11,2 through 11.7, to segregate income and expenses
received, paid and accrued for the respective purposes described in those sections. The gross
revenues received in the Water System Fund shall be apportioned monthly, commencing as of
the first day of the calendar month immediately following the Closing.
Section 11.2. Acquisition and Construction Account. The Acquisition and
Construction Account shall be used only to pay as incurred and allowed costs which under
accepted accounting practice are capital costs of the 2011 Project and of such future
reconstructions, improvements, betterments or extensions of the System as may be authorized in
accordance with law, including but not limited to payments due for work and materials
IN
performed and delivered under construction contracts, architectural, engineering, inspection,
supervision, fiscal and legal expenses, the cost of lands and easements, reimbursement of any
advances made fiom other Borrower funds, and all other expenses incurred in connection with
the acquisition, construction and financing of any such undertaking. To the Acquisition and
Construction Account shall be credited as received all proceeds of Bonds issued hereunder
(except proceeds of refunding bonds appropriated to the payment of outstanding Bonds and
amounts required to be credited to the Revenue Bond Account) and all other funds appropriated
by the Borrower for the System and any other funds appropriated by the Borrower for the
System, and all income received from the investment of the Acquisition and Construction
Account. Upon completion of a capital improvement or program of capital improvements for the
System, the balance remaining in the Acquisition and Construction Account shall be credited
first to the Revenue Bond Account and then to Reserve Account to the extent required to
establish the required balance therein and, to the extent not so required, to the Replacement and
Depreciation Account.
Section 11.3. Operating Account Upon each monthly apportionment there shall
first be set aside and credited to the Operating Account, as a first charge on the gross revenues,
such amount as may be required over and above the balance then held in the account to pay the
reasonable and necessary Operating Expenses of the System which are then due and payable, or
are to be paid prior to the next monthly apportionment. The term "Operating Expenses" shall
mean the current expenses, paid or accrued, of operation, maintenance and repair of the System
and its facilities, as calculated in accordance with sound accounting practices, and shall include,
without limitation, administrative expenses of the Borrower relating solely to the System,
premiums for insurance on the properties thereof, labor and the cost of materials and supplies
used for current operation, maintenance and repair. Such expenses shall not include any
allowance for interest expense or depreciation, renewals or replacements of capital assets of the
System and shall not include any portion of the salaries or wages paid to any officer or employee
of the Borrower, except such portion as shall represent reasonable compensation for the
performance of duties necessary to the operation of the System.. There shall also be credited to
this account a sum equal to the estimated average monthly Operating Expenses to establish
appropriate reserves for current expenses which are not recurrent monthly but may reasonably be
expected to be incurred in accordance with sound accounting practices ( "Operating Reserve "),
which suer► shall be maintained by additional transfers upon each monthly apportionment .
whenever necessary, or may be augmented by transfers of additional aniounts from the Surplus
Account described below if determined by the governing body of the Borrower to be necessary
to meet contingencies arising in the operation, maintenance and repair of the System. Money in
the Operating Account shall be used solely for the payment of Operating Expenses.
Section 11.4. Revenue Bond Account Upon each monthly apportionment there
shall be set aside and credited to the Revenue Bond Account out of the Net Revenues an amount
equal to not less than one- sixth of the interest to become dine within the next six months and one -
twelfth of the principal to become due within the next twelve months with respect to outstanding
Bonds payable from the Revenue Bond Account; provided that the Borrower shall be entitled to
reduce a monthly credit by the amount previously credited to and then on deposit in the Revenue
Bond Account. Money from time to time held in the Revenue Bond Account shall be disbursed
only to meet payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds payable
therefrom as such payments become due. If any payment of principal or interest becomes due
34
when moneys in the Revenue Bond Account are temporarily insufficient therefor, such payment
shall be advanced out of any Net Revenues theretofore segregated and then on hand in the
Reserve Account, the Replacement and Depreciation Account or the Surplus Account.
Section 11.5. Reserve Account. On the date of Closing and on each date of
disbursement of proceeds of the Series 2011A Bond thereafter until the final disbursement of
such proceeds, the Borrower shall deposit in the Reserve Account, from proceeds of the Series
2011A Bond or, to the extent necessary, from other available funds of the Borrower, an amount
equal to the product of (i) the initial Reserve Requirement based on the Committed Amount of
the 2011 A Loan, times (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of proceeds of the
Series 2011A Bond to be disbursed on said date and the denominator of which is the Committed
Amount of the 2011 A Loan. Upon the 2011 B First Advance and on each date of disbursement
of proceeds of the Series 2011 B Bond thereafter until the final disbursement of such proceeds,
the Borrower shall deposit in the Reserve Account, from proceeds of the Series 201.18 Bond or,
to the extent necessary, from other available funds of the Borrower, an amount equal to the
product of (i) the initial Reserve Requirement based on the Committed Amount of the 2011 B
Loan, times (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of proceeds of the Series 2011 B
Bond to be disbursed on said date and the denominator of which is the Committed Amount of the
2011B Loan. On the date of the final disbursement of proceeds of the Series 2011 Bonds, if the
amount in the Reserve Account is less than the Reserve Requirement, the Borrower shall deposit
in file Reserve Account from other available funds of the Borrower an amount necessary to cause
the balance in the Reserve Account to equal the Reserve Requirement, calculated as of that date
and based on the actual principal amount of the Series 2011 Bonds. Thereafter, upon each
monthly apportionment, from the Net Revenues remaining after the apportionment to the
Revenue Bond Account, the Borrower shall credit to the Reserve Account such additional Net
Revenues as may be required to establish and thereafter maintain the balance in an amount equal,
as of the date of calculation, to the Reserve Requirement. Money in the Reserve Account shall
be used only to pay maturing principal, premium and interest when money within the Revenue
Bond Account is insufficient therefor; provided that on any date when all outstanding Bonds of a
series are due or prepayable by their terms, if the amount then on hand in the Reserve Account
allocable to such Bonds and available for such appropriation is sufficient with money available
for the purpose to pay all such Bonds and the interest accrued thereon in full, it may be used for
that purpose; and provided, further, that so long as the amount on hand in the Reserve Account is
not less than the Reserve Requirement, the Borrower may credit earnings on investment of the
Reserve Account to the Replacement and Depreciation Account.
Section 11.6. Replacement and Depreciation Account. There shall next be set
aside and credited, - upon each monthly apportionment, to the Replacement and Depreciation
Account Surplus Net Revenues of the System, as the governing body of the Borrower shall
determine to be required for the accumulation of a reasonable allowance for depreciation of the
System and for replacement or renewal of worn out, obsolete or damaged properties and
equipment thereof. Money in this account shall be used only for the purposes above stated or, if
so directed by the governing body of the Borrower, to redeem Bonds which are prepayable
according to their terms, to pay principal or interest when due thereon as required in Section
11.4, or to pay the cost of improvements to the System; provided that in the event construction
and installation of additional improvements or additions to the System are financed other than
from proceeds of Bonds payable from the Revenue Bond Account, Surplus Net Revenues from
35
time to time received may be segregated and paid into one or more separate and additional
accounts for the repayment of such indebtedness and interest thereon, in advance of payments
required to be made into the Replacement and Depreciation Account.
Section 11.7. Surplus Account. Any amount of the Surplus Net Revenues from
time to time remaining after the above required applications thereof shall be credited to the
Surplus Account (or such other account in the Water System Fund as the Borrower may establish
for bookkeeping purposes to account for surplus money in accordance with the purposes of this
Resolution), and the money from time to time in that account, when not required to restore a
current deficiency in the Revenue Bond Account as provided in Section 11.4 or the Reserve
Account as provided in Section 11.5, may be used for any of the following purposes and not
otherwise:
(a) To redeem bonds payable from the Net Revenues when and as
such bonds become prepayable according to their terms; or
(b) To purchase bonds on the open market, whether or not the bonds
or other such bonds may then be prepayable according to their terms; or
(c) To be held as a reserve for redemption of bonds payable from the
Net Revenues which are not then but will later be prepayable according to their terms; or
(d) To pay for repairs of or for the construction and installation of
improvements or additions to the System; or
(e) To pay Operating Expenses or to restore the Operating Reserve or
increase the same when determined to be necessary by the governing body of the
Borrower; or
(f) To pay Subordinate Obligations issued under Section 10.4 above.
No money shall at any time be transferred fi the Surplus Account or any other account of the
Fund to any other fund of the Borrower, nor shall such moneys at any time be loaned to other
municipal funds or invested in warrants, special improvement bonds or other obligations payable
from other funds, except as provided in Section 11.9.
Section 11.8. Rebate Account. The Rebate Account is hereby established as a
separate account within the Fund. The Borrower shall make deposits to and disbursements from
the Rebate Account pursuant to one or more rebate certificates executed and delivered by the
Borrower in connection with the issuance of Bonds, and for such purposes may make transfers,
in the following order of priority, from the Surplus Account, the Replacement and Depreciation
Account and the Reserve Account, as necessary, to meet the requirements of the Rebate
Account. The City shall invest the Rebate Account in accordance with the provisions of the
rebate certificates and shall deposit income from such investments immediately upon receipt
thereof in the Rebate Account.
Section 11.9. Doosit and Investment of Funds. The finance officer of the
Borrower shall cause all money appropriated to the Water System Fund to be deposited as
36
received with one or more depository banks duly qualified in accordance with the provisions of
Montana Code Annotated, Section 7 -6 -201, in a deposit account or accounts. The balance in
such accounts, except such portion thereof as shall be guaranteed by federal deposit insurance,
shall at all times be secured to its full amount by bonds or securities of the types set forth in
Montana Code Annotated, Section 7 -6 -201. Any of such moneys not necessary for immediate
use may be deposited with such depository banks in savings or time deposits. No money shall at
any time be withdrawn from such deposit accounts except for the purposes of the Water System
Fund as defined and authorized in this Resolution; except that money from time to time on hand
in the Water System Fund may at any time, in the discretion of the ,governing body of the
Borrower, be invested in securities which are direct, general obligations of, or obligations the
prompt payment of the principal of and the interest on which is fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by, the United States of America, bank repurchase agreements with respect to such
obligations, certificates of deposits of national banks having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $ 1,000,000 or in the Montana short-teen investment program administered by the Board of
Investments, which investments mature and bear interest at the tines and in the amounts
estimated to be required to provide cash when needed for the purposes of the respective
accounts, provided that funds on hand in the Reserve Account, the Replacement and
Depreciation Account and the Surplus Account may be invested in said securities maturing not
later than five years from the date of the investment; and provided, further, that money on hand
in the Surplus Account of the Water System Fund may, in the discretion of the governing body
of the Borrower, be invested in any securities which are direct, general obligations of the
Borrower. Income received from the deposit or investment of moneys in said accounts shall be
credited to the account from whose moneys the deposit was made or the investment was
purchased, and handled and accounted for in the same manner as other moneys in that account.

TAX MATTERS
Section 12.1. Use of 2011 Project The 2011 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 2011 Project or security for the payment of the
Series 2011 Bonds which might cause the Series 2011 Bonds to be considered a "private activity
bond" or "private loan bond" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code.
Section 12.2. General Covenant The Borrower covenants and agrees with the
owners from time to time of the Series 2011 Bonds 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
2011 Bonds 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 2011 Bonds will not become includable in gross income for federal
income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations.

Section 148 of the Code, and Section 1.148 -2(b) of the Regulations, stating that on the basis of
facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Series
2011 Bonds, it is reasonably expected that the proceeds of the Series 201.1 Bonds will be used in

of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations.
Section 12.4. Arbitrage Rebate, The Borrower acknowledges that the Series
2011 Bonds are subject to the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The Borrower

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 2011 Bonds
from gross income for federal income tax purposes, unless the Series 2011 Bonds qualify for the
exception from the rebate requirement under the Code and no "'gross proceeds" of the Series
2011 Bonds (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
