Section 2.01 of Resolution No. 2932 is hereby amended to read July 1 .

RESOLUTION NO. 2932
RESOLUTION RELATING TO $392,000 SPECIAL
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 656 BONDS; FIXING
THE FORM AND DETAILS, PROVIDING SECURITY
THEREFOR, PROVIDING FOR THE EXECUTION AND
DELIVERY THEREOF AND AMENDING AND
SUPPLEMENTING RESOLUTION NO. 2745
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of the City of Bozeman,
Montana (the "City"), as follows:
Section 1. Recitals. It is hereby found, determined and declared as
follows:
1.01. Resolution of Intention. By Resolution No. 2898, adopted
December 14, 1992 (the "Resolution of Intention"), this Commission declared its
intention to create Special Improvement District No. 656 (the "District"), for the
purpose of making special improvements for the special benefit of the District. The
Resolution of Intention designated the number of the District, described the
boundaries thereof and stated the general character of the improvements to be made
(the "Improvements") and an approximate estimate of the costs thereof, in
accordance with the provisions of Montana Code Annotated, Title 7, Chapter 12,
Parts 41 and 42, as amended (the "Act"). By the Resolution of Intention this
Commission also declared its intention to cause the cost and expense of making the
improvements specially benefiting the District to be assessed against the properties
included within the boundaries thereof in accordance with one or more methods of
assessment authorized in Montana Code Annotated, Sections 7-12-4161 to 7-12-4165
and as set forth in the Resolution of Intention.
1.02. Notices. Notice of the passage of the Resolution of Intention was
given by two publications in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, a weekly newspaper
published within the City. Notice of the passage of the Resolution of Intention was
also mailed the same day the notice was first published to all persons, firms or
corporations or the agents thereof having real property within the District listed in
their names upon the last completed assessment roll for state, county and school
district taxes, at their last known addresses. The notice described the general
character of the Improvements, stated the estimated cost of the Improvements and
the method or methods of assessment of such costs against properties in the District,
-1-
the method or methods of assessment of such costs against properties in the District,
specified the time when and the place where the Commission would hear and pass
upon all protests made against the making of the Improvements or the creation or
extension of the District, and referred to the Resolution of Intention as being on file
in the office of the Clerk of the Commission for a description of the boundaries of
the District, all in accordance with the provisions of the Resolution of Intention.
1.03. Creation of District. At the time and place specified in the notice
hereinabove described, this Commission met to hear, consider and pass upon all
protests made against the making of the Improvements and the creation of the
District, and, after consideration thereof, it was determined and declared that
insufficient protests against the creation or extension of the District or the proposed
work had been filed in the time and manner provided by law by the owners of the
property to be assessed for the Improvements in the District, and this Commission
did therefore by Resolution No. 2903, adopted January 19, 1993, create the District
and order the proposed Improvements in accordance with the Resolution of
Intention.
1.04. Construction Contracts. Plans, specifications, maps, profiles and
surveys for construction of the Improvements were prepared by the engineers acting
for the City, and were thereupon examined and approved by this Commission. An
advertisement for bids for construction of the Improvements was published in the
official newspaper of the City in accordance with the provisions of Montana Code
Annotated, Section 7-12-4141, after which the bids theretofore received were opened
and examined. After referring the bids to the engineers for the City it was
determined that the lowest regular proposals for the furnishing of all work and
materials required for constructing the Improvements in accordance with the
approved plans and specifications were the following:
Work Bidder Contract Price
Constructing and installing Van Dyke Construction $331,143.50
water improvements
A contract for the construction of the Improvements was therefore awarded to said
bidder, subject to the right of owners of property liable to be assessed for the costs
thereof to elect to take the work and enter into a written contract therefor in the
manner provided by Montana Code Annotated, Section 7-12-4147, which election
the property owners failed to make, whereupon the City and the successful bidder
entered into a written contract for construction of the Improvements upon the
bidder having executed and filed a bond satisfactory to this Commission and in the
form and manner provided by Montana Code Annotated, Title 18, Chapter 2, Part 2,
as amended.
-2-
1.05. Costs. It is currently estimated that the costs and expenses
connected with and incidental to the formation of the District to the City, including
costs of preparation of plans, specifications, maps, profiles, engineering
superintendence and inspection, preparation of assessment rolls, expenses of
making the assessments, the cost of work and materials under the construction
contract and all other costs and expenses, are $392,000. Such amount will be levied
and assessed upon the assessable real property within the District on the bases
described in the Resolution of Intention. This Commission has jurisdiction and is
required by law to levy and assess such amount, to collect such special assessments
and credit the same to the special improvement district fund created for the District,
which fund is to be maintained on the official books and records of the City separate
from all other City funds, for the payment of principal and interest when due on the
bonds herein authorized.
1.06. Sale and Issuance of Bonds. For the purpose of financing the costs
and expenses of making the Improvements, which are to be assessed against the
property within the District as provided in the Resolution of Intention, this
Commission by Resolution No. 2920, adopted June 21, 1993, called for the public sale
of bonds in the total aggregate amount of $392,000 (the "Bonds"). Advertisements
for bids for the purchase of the Bonds were published in accordance with the
provisions of Montana Code Annotated, Sections 7-12-4204, 7-7-4252 and 17-5-106.
On July 12, 1993, this Commission awarded the sale of the Bonds to D. A. Davidson
& Co., of Great Falls, Montana (the "Purchaser"), as the lowest responsible bidder.
The Purchaser agreed to purchase from the City the Bonds at a purchase price of
$392,000 plus interest accrued thereon from the date of original issue of the Bonds, at
a net effective interest rate of 7.239% per annum and upon the further terms set
forth in this resolution.
1.07. Recitals. All acts, conditions and things required by the
Constitution and laws of the State of Montana, including Montana Code Annotated,
Title 7, Chapter 12, Parts 41 and 42, as amended, in order to make the Bonds valid
and binding special obligations in accordance with their terms and in accordance
with the terms of this resolution have been done, do exist, have happened and have
been performed in regular and due form, time and manner as so required.
Section 2. The Bonds.
2.01. Principal Amount, Maturities, Denominations, Date, Basic
Interest Rates. For the purpose of paying the costs and expenses incurred in
construction of the Improvements, and in anticipation of the collection of special
assessments to be levied therefor, and in accordance with the proposal described in
Section 1.06, the City shall forthwith issue and deliver to the Purchaser the Bonds
payable solely from the Special Improvement District No. 656 Fund (the "District
Fund") and denominated "Special Improvement District No. 656 Bonds." The
-3-
Bonds shall be dated, as originally issued, and be registered as of August 1, 1993, shall
each be in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof of single
maturities; provided that the Bond representing principal installment no. 1 shall be
in the amount of $7,000, shall mature on January 1 in the years and principal
amounts set forth below, and Bonds maturing in such years and principal amounts
shall bear basic interest from the date of original registration until paid or duly
called for redemption at the rates per annum set forth opposite such years and
amounts, respectively:
Principal Basic Principal Basic
Year Amount Rate Year Amount Rate
1994 $ 7,000 4.00% 2004 $20,000 6.70%
1995 20,000 4.50 2005 20,000 6.80
1996 20,000 5.00 2006 20,000 6.90
1997 20,000 5.50 2007 20,000 7.00
1998 20,000 5.75 2008 25,000 7.10

2002 20,000 6.50 2012 25,000 7.25
2003 20,000 6.60
Each of the Bonds shall represent one or more principal installments of the issue of
the same maturity. Principal installments of the issue are numbered from 1
through 78, each in the amount of $5,000, except installment no. 1 shall be in the
amount of $7,000.
2.02. Additional Interest; Certificates. All Bonds shall bear additional
interest at the rate of two and fifty hundredths percent (2.50%) per annum for the
period from September 1, 1993 to and including July 1, 1994, payable on July 1, 1994,
and Bonds with stated maturities in 1995 and later years shall bear additional
interest at the rate of three percent (3.00%) per annum for the period from July 1,
1994, to and including January 1, 1995, payable on January 1, 1995. Additional
interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year composed of twelve 30-day
months.
The additional interest on such Bonds shall be represented by separate
additional interest certificates (the "Certificates"). One or more Certificates shall be
issued to represent all additional interest to be paid on all Bonds on each additional
interest payment date; provided that all such Certificates shall represent an integral
multiple of five hundredths of one percent (0.05%) of the additional interest payable
on an additional interest payment date.
-4-
2.03. Interest Payment Dates. Basic interest on the Bonds shall be
payable on each January 1 and July 1, commencing January 1, 1994, to the owners of
record thereof as such appear on the bond registrar at the close of business on the
fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month, whether or not such day is a
business day. Upon the original delivery of the Bonds to the Purchaser and upon
each subsequent transfer or exchange of a Bond pursuant to Section 2.04, the
Registrar shall date each Bond as of the date of its authentication.
2.04. Method of Payment. The Bonds and the Certificates shall be
issued only in fully registered form. The interest on and, upon surrender thereof at
the principal office of the Registrar (as hereinafter defined), the principal of each
Bond and, upon presentation and surrender of any Certificate, the amount payable
with respect thereto, shall be payable by check or draft drawn on the Registrar.
2.05. Registration. The Director of Finance of the City of Bozeman will
act as registrar, transfer agent and paying agent (the "Registrar"). The City reserves
the right to appoint a successor bond registrar, transfer agent or paying agent, as
authorized by the Model Public Obligations Registration Act of Montana, Montana
Code Annotated, Title 17, Chapter 5, Part 11, as amended (the "Registration Act"),
but the City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for
the services performed. This Section 2.04 shall establish a system of registration for
the Bonds and the Certificates as defined in the Registration Act.
The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the
Registrar with respect thereto shall be as follows:
(a) Bond Register. The Registrar shall keep at its principal office a bond
register in which the Registrar shall provide for the registration of ownership
of the Bonds and Certificates and the registration of transfers and exchanges of
the Bonds and Certificates entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged.
(b) Transfer. Upon surrender to the Registrar for transfer of any Bond
duly endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by
the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the
registered owner in writing, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds
of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, or one or more new
Certificates of like aggregate amount and payment date and representing the
same additional interest period, as the case may be, as requested by the
transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for registration of
any transfer of any Bond or principal installment thereof selected or called for
redemption. No transfer or exchange of a Bond shall affect its order of
registration for purposes of redemption pursuant to Section 2.06.
-5-
(c) Exchange of Bonds and Certificates. Whenever any Bonds or
Certificates are surrendered by the registered owner for exchange, the
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like
aggregate principal amount and maturity, or one or more new Certificates of
like aggregate amount and payment date and representing the same
additional interest period, as the case may be, as requested by the registered
owner or the owner's attorney in writing.
(d) Cancellation. All Bonds and Certificates surrendered upon any
transfer or exchange shall be promptly canceled by the Registrar and thereafter
disposed of as directed by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When any Bond or Certificate
is presented to the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer
the same until it is satisfied that the endorsement on such Bond, Certificate or
separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested
transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar shall incur no liability for the
refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems
improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the
person in whose name any Bond or Certificate is at any time registered in the
bond register as the absolute owner of such Bond or Certificate, whether such
Bond or Certificate shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving
payment of, or on account of, the principal of, premium, if any, and basic
interest on such Bond or the amount of such Certificate and for all other
purposes, and all such payments so made to any such registered owner or
upon the owner's order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge
the liability of the City upon such Bond or Certificate to the extent of the sum
or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For every transfer of Bonds or exchange of
a Bond or Certificate (except an exchange upon a partial redemption of a
Bond), the Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof sufficient
to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge
required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds or Certificates. In case
any Bond or Certificate shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost,
the Registrar shall deliver a new Bond or Certificate of like amount, number,
maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation of any such mutilated Bond or Certificate or in lieu of and in
substitution for any such Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of
-6-
the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith;
and, in the case of a Bond or Certificate destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing
with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that such Bond or Certificate
was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon
furnishing to the Registrar an appropriate bond or indemnity in form,
substance and amount satisfactory to it, in which both the City and the
Registrar shall be named as obligees. All Bonds or Certificates so surrendered
to the Registrar shall be canceled by it and evidence of such cancellation shall
be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond or
Certificate has already matured or such Bond has been called for redemption
in accordance with its terms, it shall not be necessary to issue a new Bond or
Certificate prior to payment.
2.06. Redemption. If on any interest payment date there will be a
balance in the District Fund after payment of the principal and interest due on all
Bonds drawn against it, either from the prepayment of special assessments levied in
the Districts or from the transfer of surplus money from the Construction Account
to the Principal Account as provided in Section 3.02 or otherwise, the Director of
Finance shall call for redemption on the interest payment date outstanding Bonds,
or principal installments thereof, in the order of their registration in an amount
which, together with the interest thereon to the interest payment date, will equal
the amount of the District Fund on that date. For purposes of redemption, the order
of registration of the Bonds shall correspond to the order of the numbers of the
principal installments represented by the Bonds. Bonds representing more than one
principal installment may be redeemed in part, in one or more whole principal
installments and, upon such partial redemption, a new Bond or Bonds will be
delivered to the registered owner without charge, representing the remaining
principal installments outstanding. The Bonds are subject to redemption at the
option of the City from other sources of funds available therefor on any interest
payment date. The redemption price shall equal the amount of the principal
installment or installments of the Bonds to be redeemed plus interest accrued
thereon to the date of redemption. The date of redemption shall be fixed by the
Director of Finance, who shall give notice, by first class mail, postage prepaid to the
owner or owners of such Bonds at their addresses appearing in the bond register, of
the numbers of the principal installments and Bonds to be redeemed and the date
on which payment will be made, which date shall be not less than ten days after the
date of mailing notice. The Director of Finance shall at the same time mail notice of
the redemption to the Purchaser. On the date so fixed interest on the Bonds or
principal installments thereof so redeemed shall cease. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the Bonds shall not be called for redemption from
the proceeds of refunding special improvement district bonds or warrants before
July 1, 2000.
-7-
In addition to the notice prescribed by the preceding paragraph, the
Director of Finance shall also give, or cause to be given, notice of the redemption of
any Bond or Bonds or principal installments thereof at least 10 days before the
redemption date by deposit of notice, properly addressed in the United States mail
with postage paid at the first class rate or telecopy to the Purchaser and all registered
securities depositories then in the business of holding substantial amounts of
obligations of the character of the Bonds (such depositories now being The
Depository Trust Company, of Garden City, New York; Midwest Securities Trust
Company, of Chicago, Illinois; and Philadelphia Depository Trust Company, of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) and one or more national information services that
disseminate information regarding municipal bond redemptions; provided that any
defect in or any failure to give any notice of redemption prescribed by this paragraph
shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Bond or
portion thereof.
2.07. Form of Bonds and Certificates. The Bonds and the Certificates
• shall be drawn in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibits A and B hereto,
respectively, and by this reference made a part hereof, with such modifications as are
permitted by the Act.
2.08. Execution, Registration and Delivery. The Bonds and the
Certificates shall be prepared under the direction of the Clerk of the Commission
and shall be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Commission and sealed with the official seal of the City; provided
that the signatures and the corporate seal may be printed, engraved or lithographed
facsimiles of the originals. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of
whose signature shall appear on the Bonds or the Certificates shall cease to be such
officer before the delivery of any Bond or Certificate, such signature or facsimile
shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer
had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, no Bond or
Certificate shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or
benefit under this resolution unless a certificate of authentication and registration
on such Bond or Certificate has been duly executed by the manual signature of an
authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication and
registration on different Bonds or Certificates need not be signed by the same
representative. The executed certificate of authentication and registration on each
Bond or Certificate shall be conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and
delivered under this resolution. The Bonds and the Certificates shall be registered
in order of their serial numbers by the Registrar, as attested by the Certificate of
Authentication and Registration, as of August 1, 1993. When the Bonds and the
Certificates have been so executed, authenticated and registered, they shall be
delivered by the Registrar to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in
accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed. The Purchaser
shall not be obligated to see to the application of the purchase price, but from the
-8-
proceeds of the Bonds the Director of Finance shall credit forthwith any accrued
interest to the Interest Account in the District Fund, and the balance of such
proceeds to the Construction Account in the District Fund.
Section 3. District Fund; Assessments.
3.01. District Fund. There is hereby created and established the District
Fund designated as the "Special Improvement District No. 656 Fund," which shall
be maintained by the Director of Finance on the books and records of the City
separate and apart from all other funds of the City. Within the District Fund there
shall be maintained three separate accounts, designated as the "Construction
Account," "Principal Account" and "Interest Account," respectively.
3.02. Construction Account. There shall be credited to the
Construction Account certain proceeds of the sale of the Bonds as provided in
Section 2.07. Any earnings on investment of money in the Construction Account
shall be retained therein. All costs and expenses of constructing the Improvements
to be paid from proceeds of the Bonds shall be paid from time to time as incurred
and allowed from the Construction Account in accordance with the provisions of
applicable law, and money in the Construction Account shall be used for no other
purpose; provided that upon completion of the Improvements and after all claims
and expenses with respect to the Improvements have been fully paid and satisfied,
any money remaining in the Construction Account shall be transferred to the
Principal Account and used to redeem Bonds as provided in Section 3.03.
3.03. Principal Account and Interest Account. Money in the Principal
Account and the Interest Account shall be used only for payment of the principal of
and interest on the Bonds as such payments become due or to redeem Bonds. From
the proceeds of the Bonds, there shall be deposited in the Interest Account any
interest on the Bonds accrued to the date of their delivery.
Upon collection of the installment of principal and interest due on
November 30 and May 31 of each fiscal year on the special assessments to be levied
with respect to the Improvements, the Director of Finance shall credit to the Interest
Account so much of said special assessments as is collected as interest payment and
the balance thereof to the Principal Account. Any installment of any special
assessment paid prior to its due date with interest accrued thereon to the next
succeeding interest payment date shall be credited with respect to principal and
interest payments in the same manner as other assessments are credited to the
District Fund. All money in the Interest Account and the Principal Account shall be
used first to pay interest due, and any remaining money shall be used to pay Bonds
then due and, if money is available, to redeem Bonds or principal installments
thereof in accordance with Section 2.06; provided that any money transferred to a
Principal Account from the Construction Account pursuant to Section 3.02 shall be
-9-
applied to redeem Bonds or principal installments thereof to the extent possible on
the next interest payment date for which notice of redemption may properly be
given pursuant to Section 2.06. Redemption of Bonds shall be in order of the
principal installments they represent as provided in Section 2.06, and interest shall
be paid as accrued thereon to the date of redemption, in accordance with the
provisions of Montana Code Annotated, Section 7-12-4206.
3.04. Loans from Revolving Fund. The Commission shall annually or
more often if necessary issue an order authorizing a loan or advance from the
Special Improvement District Revolving Fund of the City (the "Revolving Fund")
to the District Fund in an amount sufficient to make good any deficiency then
existing in the Interest Account and shall issue an order authorizing a loan or
advance from the Revolving Fund to the District Fund in an amount sufficient to
make good any deficiency then existing in the Principal Account in such order and
in each case to the extent that money is available in the Revolving Fund. A
deficiency shall be deemed to exist in the Principal Account or the Interest Account
if the money on deposit therein on any December 15 or June 15 (excluding amounts
in the Principal Account representing prepaid special assessments) is less than the
amount necessary to pay Bonds due (other than upon redemption), and interest on
all Bonds payable, on the next succeeding interest payment date.
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 612, the City has undertaken and agreed to
provide funds for the Revolving Fund by levying such tax or making such loan
from the General Fund as authorized by Montana Code Annotated, Section
7-12-4222. In the event that the balance on hand in the Revolving Fund fifteen days
prior to any date when interest is due on special improvement district bonds or
warrants of the City is not sufficient to make good all deficiencies then existing in
the special improvement district funds for which the City has covenanted to make
loans from the Revolving Fund, the balance on hand in the Revolving Fund shall
be allocated to the funds of the special improvement districts in which such
deficiencies then exist in proportion to the amounts of the deficiencies on the
respective dates of receipt of such money, until all interest accrued on such special
improvement district bonds or warrants of the City has been paid. On any date
when all accrued interest on special improvement district bonds and warrants of the
City payable from funds for which the City has covenanted to make loans from the
Revolving Fund has been paid, any balance remaining in the Revolving Fund shall
be lent or advanced to the special improvement district funds for payment and
redemption of bonds to the extent the special improvement district funds are
deficient for such purpose, and, if money in the Revolving Fund is insufficient
therefor, pro rata, in an amount proportionate to the amount of such deficiency.

Section 4. Pledge of Water System Revenues.
4.01. Authorization. Section 6.04 of Resolution No. 2745, adopted
April 10, 1989, as amended and supplemented by Resolution No. 2749, adopted April
10, 1989 and Resolution No. 2829, adopted April 15, 1991 collectively (the Water
Bond Resolution), authorizes the City to issue bonds which are expressly made a
charge on only the "surplus net revenues" of the City's Water System (the
"System"), and subordinate to the pledge of the "net revenues" of the System to the
Revenue Bond Account (as defined in the Water Bond Resolution). Section 5.05 of
the Water Bond Resolution authorizes surplus Net Revenues to be segregated and
paid into one or more separate or additional accounts for the payment of principal
of and interest on subordinate indebtedness incurred for improvements to the
System in advance of payments required to be made into the Replacement and
Depreciation Account (as defined in the Water Bond Resolution).
4.02. Amendment of Water Bond Resolution. The Water Bond
Resolution is hereby amended as follows: "There is hereby created a Subordinate
Lien Bond Account, into which the City shall credit, upon each monthly
apportionment, such portion of the net revenues of the System, in excess of the
current requirements of the Operating Account and the Revenue Bond Account,
including the Reserve therein, and prior to the funding of the Replacement and
Depreciation Account, as may be necessary to pay, as due, the principal of and
interest on any obligation payable from the Subordinate Lien Bond Account."
4.03. Bonds Payable From Subordinate Lien Bond Account. (A) The
Bonds are issued to fund improvements to the System and are payable from the
Subordinate Lien Bond Account.
(B) For purposes of determining whether an allocation shall be made
to the Subordinate Lien Bond Account for the benefit of the Bonds under Section
4.02 hereof, the City Treasurer shall determine each month whether the amounts
on deposit in the District Fund (taking into consideration special assessments on
hand and anticipated to be on hand, amounts available in the Revolving Fund for
making loans to the District Fund and other available funds) will be sufficient to pay
the principal of and interest on the Bonds on the next payment date. If such
amounts are deficient or are anticipated to be deficient the City shall make a
monthly allocation of amounts sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the
Bonds on the next payment date.
4.04. Rate Covenant as to Subordinate Lien Bonds. While any Bonds
payable from the Subordinate Lien Account are outstanding and unpaid, the net
revenues of the System (as defined in the Water Bond Resolution) for each fiscal
year shall not be less than 100% of the maximum annual principal and interest
-11-
payable from the Revenue Bond Account (as defined in the Water Bond
Resolution) and the Subordinate Lien Bond Account.
4.05. Water Bond Covenants. The City hereby agrees to observe the
covenants and agreements contained in the Water Bond Resolution for the benefit
of the owner of the Bonds so long as the Bonds are outstanding, notwithstanding
whether any parity bonds are outstanding and payable thereunder.
Section 5. Covenants. The City covenants and agrees with the owners
from time to time of each of the Bonds that until all the Bonds and interest thereon
are fully paid:
5.01. Compliance with Resolution. The City will hold the District
Fund and the Revolving Fund as trust funds, separate and apart from all of its other
funds, and the City, its officers and agents, will comply with all covenants and
agreements contained in this resolution. The provisions hereinabove made with
respect to the District Fund and the Revolving Fund are in accordance with the
undertaking and agreement of the City made in connection with the public offering
of the Bonds and the sale of the Bonds as set forth in Section 1.06.
5.02. Construction of Improvements. The City will do all acts and
things necessary to enforce the provisions of the construction contracts and bonds
referred to in Section 1.04 and to ensure the completion of the Improvements for
the benefit of the District in accordance with the plans and specifications and within
the time therein provided, and will pay all costs thereof promptly as incurred and
allowed, out of the District Fund and within the amount of the proceeds of the
Bonds appropriated thereto.
5.03. Levy of Assessments.
The City will do all acts and things necessary for the final and valid
levy of special assessments upon all assessable real property within the boundaries
of the District in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the State of Montana
and the Constitution of the United States, in an aggregate principal amount not less
than $392,000. Such special assessments shall be levied on the basis or bases
prescribed in the Resolution of Intention, and shall be payable in semiannual
installments over a period of 19 years, each installment being due in an amount
equal to one-thirty-eighth of the principal amount of each assessment, with interest
on the whole amount remaining unpaid at the average annual interest rate borne
by the Bonds, plus one-half of one percent per annum, interest being payable with
principal installments. The assessments to be levied will be payable on the 30th day
of November in each of the years 1993 through 2011, and on the 31st day of May in
the years 1994 through 2012, inclusive, if not theretofore paid, and shall become
delinquent on such date unless paid in full. The first partial payment of each
-12-
assessment shall include interest on the entire assessment from the date of original
registration of the Bonds to January 1, 1994, and each subsequent partial payment
shall include interest for six months on that payment and the then remaining
balance of the special assessment. The assessments shall constitute a lien upon and
against the property against which they are made and levied, which lien may be
extinguished only by payment of the assessment with all penalties, cost and interest
as provided in Montana Code Annotated, Section 7-12-4191. No tax deed issued
with respect to any lot or parcel of land shall operate as payment of any installment
of the assessment thereon which is payable after the execution of such deed, and any
tax deed so issued shall convey title subject only to the lien of said future
installments, as provided in Montana Code Annotated, Section 15-18-214.
5.04. Reassessment. If at any time and for whatever reason any special
assessment or tax herein agreed to be levied is held invalid, the City and this
Commission, its officers and employees, will take all steps necessary to correct the
same and to reassess and re-levy the same, including the ordering of work, with the
same force and effect as if made at the time provided by law, ordinance or resolution
relating thereto, and will reassess and re-levy the same with the same force and
effect as an original levy thereof, as authorized in Montana Code Annotated, Section
7-12-4186. Any special assessment, or reassessment or re-levy shall, so far as is
practicable, be levied and collected as it would have been if the first levy had been
enforced including the levy and collection of any interest accrued on the first levy.
If proceeds of the Bonds, including investment income thereon, are
applied to the redemption of such Bonds, as provided in Montana Code Annotated,
Sections 7-12-4205 and 7-12-4206, or if refunding bonds are issued and the principal
amount of the outstanding Bonds of the District is decreased or increased, the City
will reduce or increase, respectively, the assessments levied in the District and then
outstanding pro rata by the principal amount of such prepayment or the increment
above or below the outstanding principal amount of bonds represented by the
refunding bonds. The City and this Commission, its officers and employees will
reassess and re-levy such assessments, with the same effect as an original levy, in
such reduced or increased amounts in accordance with the provisions of Montana
Code Annotated, Sections 7-12-4176 through 7-12-4178.
5.05. Absence of Litigation. There is now no litigation pending or, to
the best knowledge of the City, threatened questioning the validity or regularity of
the creation of the District, the contracts for construction of the Improvements or
the undertaking and agreement of the City to levy special assessments therefor and
to make good any deficiency in the collection thereof through the levy of taxes for
and the making of advances from the Revolving Fund, or the right and power of
the City to issue the Bonds or in any manner questioning the existence of any
condition precedent to the exercise of the City's powers in these matters except as
has been disclosed to the Purchaser in a letter from the City dated as of August 12,
-13-
1993. If any such litigation should be initiated or threatened, the City will forthwith
notify in writing the Purchaser, and will furnish the Purchaser a copy of all
documents, including pleadings, in connection with such litigation.
5.06. Waiver of Penalty and Interest. The City covenants not to waive
the payment of penalty or interest on delinquent assessments levied on property in
the District for costs of the Improvements, unless the City determines, by resolution
of the City Commission, that such waiver is in the best interest of the owners of the
outstanding Bonds.
Section 6. Tax Matters.
6.01. Use of Improvements. The Improvements will be owned and
operated by the City and available for use by members of the general public on a
substantially equal basis. The City shall not enter into any lease, use or other
agreement with any non-governmental person relating to the use of the
Improvements or security for the payment of the Bonds which might cause the
Bonds to be considered "private activity bonds" or "private loan bonds" within the
meaning of Section 141 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").
6.02. General Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the
owners from time to time of the 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 Bonds to become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes
under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations"), and
covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on
the Bonds will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax
purposes under the Code and the Regulations.
6.03. Arbitrage Certification. The City Manager and the Clerk of the
Commission, being the officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing
the Bonds pursuant to this resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and
deliver to the Purchaser a certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 148
of the Code, and Sections 1.103-13, 1.103-14 and 1.103-15 of the Regulations, stating
that on the basis of facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of
issue and delivery of the Bonds, it is reasonably expected that the proceeds of the
Bonds will be used in a manner that would not cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage
bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations.
-14-
6.04. Arbitrage Rebate Exemption.
(a) The City hereby represents that the Bonds qualify for the exception
for small governmental units to the arbitrage rebate provisions contained in Section
148(f) of the Code. Specifically, the City represents:
(1) Substantially all (not less than 95%) of the proceeds of the Bonds
(except for amounts to be applied to the payment of costs of issuance and
amounts to be deposited in the Interest Account pursuant to Section 3.03) will
be used for local governmental activities of the City.
(2) The aggregate face amount of all "tax-exempt bonds" (including
warrants, contracts, leases and other indebtedness, but excluding private
activity bonds) issued by or on behalf of the City and all subordinate entities
thereof during 1993 is reasonably expected not to exceed $5,000,000. To date in
1993, the City has issued no such tax-exempt bonds, and in the calendar years
1988 through 1992 the average principal amount of such tax-exempt bonds
issued by the City in a single calendar year was $780,820.
(b) If notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section
6.04, the arbitrage rebate provisions of Section 148(f) of the Code apply to the Bonds,
the City hereby covenants and agrees to make the determinations, retain records and
rebate to the United States the amounts at the times and in the manner required by
said Section 148(f).
6.05. Information Reporting. The City shall file with the Secretary of
the Treasury, not later than November 15, 1993, a statement concerning the Bonds
containing the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code.
6.06. "Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations." Pursuant to Section
265(b)(3)(B)(ii) of the Code, the City hereby designates the Bonds as "qualified
tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The City has
not designated any obligations in 1993 other than the Bonds under Section 265(b)(3).
The City 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 City and all "subordinate entities" of the City in 1993 in
an amount greater than $10,000,000.
Section 7. Authentication of Transcript. The officers of the City are
hereby authorized and directed to furnish to the Purchaser and to bond counsel
certified copies of all proceedings relating to the issuance of the Bonds and the
-15-
Certificates and such other certificates and affidavits as may be required to show the
right, power and authority of the City to issue the Bonds and the Certificates, and all
statements contained in and shown by such instruments, including any heretofore
furnished, shall constitute representations of the City as to the truth of the
statements purported to be shown thereby.
Section 8. Discharge.
8.01. General. When the liability of the City on all Bonds issued under
and secured by this resolution has been discharged as provided in this Section 8, all
pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the owners of such
obligations shall cease.
8.02. Payment. The City may discharge its liability with reference to
any Bond or installment of interest thereon which is due on any date by on or before
that date depositing with the Registrar funds sufficient, or, if a City officer is the
Registrar, mailing to the registered owner of such Bond a check or draft in a sum
sufficient and providing proceeds available, for the payment thereof in full; or if any
Bond or installment of interest thereon shall not be paid when due, the City may
nevertheless discharge its liability with reference thereto by depositing with the
Registrar funds sufficient, or, if a City officer is the Registrar, by mailing to the
registered owner thereof a check or draft in a sum sufficient and providing proceeds
available, for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such
deposit or mailing.
8.03. Prepayment. The City may also discharge its obligations with
respect to any Bonds called for redemption on any date when they are prepayable
according to their terms, by on or before that date depositing with the Registrar
funds sufficient, or, if a City officer is the Registrar, mailing to the registered owner
of such Bond a check or a draft in a sum sufficient and providing proceeds available,
for the payment of the principal, interest and redemption premium, if any, which
are then due; provided that notice of such redemption has been duly given as
provided herein or irrevocably provided for.
8.04. Escrow. The City may also at any time discharge its liability in its
entirety with reference to the Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or
hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in
escrow, with a bank qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or
securities which are authorized by law to be so deposited, bearing interest payable at
such times and at such rates and maturing on such dates as shall be required,
without reinvestment, to provide funds sufficient to pay all principal and interest to
become due on all Bonds on or before maturity or, if any Bond has been duly called
for redemption or notice of such redemption has been irrevocably provided for, on
or before the designated redemption date.

[Reverse of the Bonds]
This Bond is one of an issue in the aggregate principal amount of
$392,000 (the "Bonds"), all of like date of original issue and tenor, except as to serial
number, denomination, date, basic interest rate and maturity date. The Bonds are
issued pursuant to and in full conformity with the Constitution and laws of the
State of Montana thereunto enabling, including Montana Code Annotated, Title 7,
Chapter 12, Parts 41 and 42, as amended, to finance the costs of certain local
improvements (the "Improvements") for the special benefit of property located in
Special Improvement District No. 656 of the City (the "District"). The Bonds are
issuable only as fully registered bonds of single maturities in denominations of
A-3
$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, provided that the Bond representing
principal installment no. 1 shall be in the denomination of $7,000. This Bond
represents one or more principal installments of an issue of Bonds of the City
numbered as set forth above. The principal installments for the issue are in the
aggregate amount of $392,000, and are numbered from 1 though 78, each in the
amount of $5,000 except installment no. 1 which is in the amount of $7,000.
This Bond is payable from the collection of a special tax or assessment
levied upon all assessable real property within the boundaries of the District, in an
aggregate principal amount of not less than $392,000, except as such amount may be
reduced or increased in accordance with provisions of Montana law. Such
assessments constitute a lien against the assessable real estate within the District,
and the Bonds are not general obligations of the City. The Bonds are also secured by
a pledge of net revenues of the City's water system subordinate only to the lien of
the City's Water System Revenue Bonds payable solely from such net revenues.
The principal installments of the Bonds are subject to mandatory
redemption in order of registration on any interest payment date if, after paying all
principal and interest then due on the Bonds, there are funds to the credit of the
Special Improvement District No. 656 Fund of the City, from the prepayment of
assessments levied in the District or from surplus proceeds of the Bonds not
required to pay costs of the Improvements, for the redemption thereof, and in the
manner provided for the redemption of the same. The Bonds are subject to
redemption at the option of the City from other sources of funds available therefor
on any interest payment date; provided, however, that the City hereby agrees that
the Bonds are not to be called for redemption from the proceeds of refunding special
improvement district bonds or warrants before July 1, 2000. The redemption price is
equal to the amount of the principal installment or installments of the Bonds to be
redeemed plus interest accrued thereon to the date of redemption. The date of
redemption shall be fixed by the Director of Finance, who shall give notice by first
class mail, postage prepaid, to the owner or owners of such Bonds at their addresses
shown on the bond register, of the numbers of the principal installments and Bonds
to be redeemed and the date on which payment will be made, which date shall not
be less than ten days after the date of mailing of notice, on which date so fixed
interest shall cease. On the date so fixed interest on the Bonds or principal
installments thereof so redeemed shall cease to accrue. Upon partial redemption of
any Bond, a new Bond or Bonds will be delivered to the registered owner without
charge, representing the remaining principal installments outstanding.
As provided in the Resolution and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Bond is transferable upon the books of the City at the principal
office of the Registrar, by the registered owner hereof in person or by his attorney
duly authorized in writing upon surrender hereof together with a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered
A-4
owner or his attorney; and may also be surrendered in exchange for Bonds of other
authorized denominations. Upon such transfer or exchange, the City will cause a
new Bond or Bonds to be issued in the name of the transferee or registered owner,
of the same aggregate principal amount, representing the same principal
installments, bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date,
subject to reimbursement for any tax, fee or governmental charge required to be paid
with respect to such transfer or exchange.
The City and the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose
name this Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof, whether this Bond is
overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes,
and neither the City nor the Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED
that all things required to be done precedent to the issuance of this Bond have been
properly done, happened and been performed in the manner prescribed by the laws
of the State of Montana and the resolutions and ordinances of the City of Bozeman,
