One Bond certificate with respect to each date on which the Bonds are stated to mature, registered in the nominee name of the Securities Depository, is being issued and required to be deposited with the Securities Depository and immobilized in its custody or delivered to the Paying Agent as the Securities Depository’s “FAST Agent.” The book-entry system will evidence positions held in the Bonds by the Securities Depository’s Participants, beneficial ownership of the Bonds in authorized denominations being evidenced in the records of such Participants. Transfer of ownership shall be affected on the records of the Securities Depository and its Participants pursuant to rules and procedures established by the Securities Depository and its Participants. The City, the bond registrar and the Paying Agent will recognize the Securities Depository nominee, while the Registered Owner of this Bond, as the Owner of this Bond for all purposes, including (i) payments of principal of, and redemption premium, if any, and interest on this Bond (ii) notices, and (iii) voting. Transfers of principal, interest and any redemption premium payments to beneficial owners of the Bonds by Participants of the Securities Depository will be the responsibility of such Participants and other nominees of such beneficial owners. The City, the bond registrar and the Paying Agent will not be responsible or liable for such transfers of payments or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by the Securities Depository, the Securities Depository nominee, its Participants or persons acting through such Participants. While the Securities Depository nominee is the owner of this Bond, notwithstanding the provisions hereinabove contained payments of principal of and interest on this Bond shall be made in accordance with existing arrangements among the City, the Paying Agent and the Securities Depository.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE ORDINANCE THE GLOBAL BOND MAY BE TRANSFERRED, IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART, ONLY TO ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE SECURITIES DEPOSITORY OR TO A SUCCESSOR SECURITIES DEPOSITORY OR TO A NOMINEE OF A SUCCESSOR SECURITIES DEPOSITORY.

The City hereby covenants with the Registered Owner of this Bond that it will keep and perform all covenants and agreements contained in the Ordinance, and will fix, establish, maintain and collect such rates, fees and charges for the use and services furnished by or through the System, as will produce revenues sufficient to pay the costs of operation and maintenance of the System, pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as and when the same become due and provide reasonable and adequate reserve funds. Reference is made to the Ordinance for a description of the covenants and agreements made by the City with respect to the collection, segregation and application of the revenues of the System, the nature and extent of the security for the Bonds, the rights, duties and obligations of the City with respect thereto, and the rights of the Registered Owners thereof.

At the option of the City, Bonds or portions thereof maturing on [January 1, 20___], and thereafter may be called for redemption and payment prior to their Stated Maturity on [January 1, 20___], and thereafter in whole or in part at any time in such amounts for each Stated Maturity as shall be determined by the City at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

[Bonds maturing on [January 1, 20___], are subject to mandatory redemption and payment prior to maturity pursuant to the mandatory redemption requirements of the Ordinance on [January 1, _____], and on each January 1 thereafter prior to maturity, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date.]

The Series 2023A Bonds will be optionally redeemed in part in integral multiples of $5,000.00 from the maturities selected by the City. Upon redemption, the sinking fund redemption amounts for each maturity will be proportionately reduced, subject to rounding to integral multiples of $5,000.00. The City will give written notice to the Paying Agent, designating the amount of each maturity redeemed and the reduction in each sinking fund installment, subject to verification by the Paying Agent.

The Paying Agent will give notice of redemption, unless waived, by mailing a redemption notice by first class mail, postage prepaid at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the Owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond Register. If notice of redemption has been given or waived, the Bonds or portions of Bonds called for redemption will become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price specified in the notice. From and after the redemption date the Bonds called for redemption will cease to bear interest unless the City defaults in the payment of the redemption price.

The Bonds are limited obligations of the City payable solely from, and secured as to the payment of principal and interest by a pledge of, the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues (as defined in the Ordinance). The taxing power of the City is not pledged to the payment of the Bonds either as to principal or interest. The Bonds do not constitute a general obligation of the City or an indebtedness of the City within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter provision, limitation or restriction. Under the conditions set forth in the Ordinance, the City has the right to issue additional parity bonds payable from, and secured by, the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues. The Bonds are issued on a parity with respect to payment of principal and interest from the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues and in all other respects with the Outstanding Parity Bonds (as defined in the Ordinance).

The City covenants with the Owner of this Bond to keep and perform all covenants and agreements contained in the Ordinance, and the City will fix, establish, maintain and collect rates, fees and charges for the use and services furnished by or through the Sanitary Sewer System to produce Sanitary Sewer Revenues sufficient to pay the operation and maintenance costs of the Sanitary Sewer System, pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and provide reasonable and adequate reserve funds. Reference is made to the Ordinance for a description of the agreements made by the City with respect to the collection, segregation and application of the Sanitary Sewer Revenues, the nature and extent of the security for the Bonds, the rights, duties and obligations of the City with respect to the Bonds, and the rights of the Owners.

This Bond may be transferred or exchanged, as provided in the Ordinance, only upon the registration books kept for that purpose at the above-mentioned office of the Paying Agent. Upon surrender of any Bond at the principal office of the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent will transfer or exchange the Bond for a new Bond or Bonds in any authorized denomination of the same maturity and in the same aggregate principal amount as the Bond which was presented for transfer or exchange. All Bonds presented for transfer or exchange must be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer or authorization for exchange, in a form and with guarantee of signature satisfactory to the Paying Agent, duly executed by the Owner or by the Owner’s authorized agent. All Bonds presented for transfer or exchange must be surrendered to the Paying Agent for cancellation. For every exchange or transfer of Bonds the City or the Paying Agent may levy a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid for the exchange or transfer. The charge must be paid by the person requesting the exchange or transfer. Payment of the charge is a condition precedent to the exchange or transfer.

This Bond will not be valid or be entitled to any security or benefit under the Ordinance until the Certificate of Authentication has been executed by the Paying Agent.

IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND DECLARED that all acts, conditions and things required to exist, happen and be performed precedent to the issuance of the Bonds have existed, happened and been performed in due time, form and manner as required by law, and that before the issuance of the Bonds, provision has been duly made for the collection, segregation and application of the income and revenues of the Sanitary Sewer System as provided in the Ordinance.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City of Kansas City, Missouri, has executed this Bond by causing it to be signed by the manual or facsimile signature of its Mayor, attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its City Clerk, with its official seal affixed or imprinted.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, upon initial issuance of the Bonds, the Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (the “Securities Depository”). Except as provided in this Section 214, all of the Outstanding Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for the Securities Depository. The definitive Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of one typewritten certificate for each stated maturity of the Bonds.

(b) With respect to the Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for the Securities Depository, the City and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any person on behalf of whom such a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the City and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the Securities Depository, Cede & Co. or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any other person, other than a Registered Owner, as shown on the Bond Register maintained by the Paying Agent, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any Participant or any other person, other than a Registered Owner, as shown in the Bond Register maintained by the Paying Agent, of the principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to the Bonds.

The Paying Agent shall pay the principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to the Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective Owners, as shown in the Bond Register maintained by the Paying Agent, as provided in this Ordinance, or their representative duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City’s obligations with respect to payment of the principal, interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

(c) Successor Securities Depository: Transfer Outside Book-Entry Only System. In the event that (i) the City (or Participants owning at least fifty percent (50%) of the Outstanding Bonds based on current records of the Securities Depository) determines that the Securities Depository is incapable of discharging its responsibilities described herein and in any representation letter (“Letter of Representations”) of the City and the Paying Agent to the Securities Depository, (ii) the agreement among the City, the Paying Agent and the Securities Depository evidenced by any such Letter of Representations, or (iii) the City (or Participants owning at least fifty percent (50%) of the Outstanding Bonds based on current records of the Securities Depository) determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds, the City shall (A) appoint a successor securities depository, qualified to act as such under Section 17(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, notify the Securities Depository and Participants of the appointment of such successor securities depository and transfer one or more Bonds to such successor securities depository, in which event the Bonds shall be registered in the name of the successor securities depository or its nominee, or (B) notify the Securities Depository and Participants of the availability through the Securities Depository of certificated Bonds and transfer one or more separate Bonds to Participants having Bonds credited to their Securities Depository accounts, in which event the Bonds shall be registered in whatever name or names Registered Owners transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance. In connection therewith, the Paying Agent may rely conclusively upon information provided by the Securities Depository with respect to the identity and interests of the Participants and upon information provided by said Participants with respect to the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds. The City under such circumstances agrees to provide to the Paying Agent a sufficient supply of Bond certificates to meet the Paying Agent’s requirements, including without limitation Bond certificates for use in the case of transfers and exchanges of Bonds.

(d) Payments to Cede & Co.

Section 215. Persons Deemed Owners of Bonds. The Person in whose name any Bond shall be registered in the Bond Register shall be deemed and regarded by the City, the bond registrar and the Paying Agent as the absolute owner thereof, whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment therefore or on account thereof and for all purposes, and neither the City, the bond registrar nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the Owner thereof or agent duly authorized in writing. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond, including the interest thereon, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION OF BONDS

Section 301. Redemption of Bonds. The Bonds shall be subject to redemption and payment prior to their Stated Maturities as follows:

(a) Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. In the event one or more term Series 2023A Bonds are issued as provided in Section 203 of this Ordinance and as more specifically described in the Certificate of Final Terms, such Series 2023A Bonds shall be subject to mandatory redemption and payment prior to their Stated Maturity pursuant to the mandatory redemption requirements of this Section 301(a) on the dates of the Stated Maturities for serial Series 2023A Bonds at the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the Redemption Dates, without premium. The City shall redeem on such dates the principal amounts set forth as serial maturities by this Ordinance and the remaining principal amount of Series 2023A Bonds maturing on the Stated Maturity of the respective term bond, shall be paid at their Stated Maturity.

The Paying Agent shall each year in which Bonds maturing on the Stated Maturity of the respective term bonds, are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 301(a) make timely selection of such Bonds or portion of such Bonds to be so redeemed and shall give notice thereof as hereinafter provided. Upon instructions duly given by the City, moneys deposited in the Series 2023A Debt Service Account may be used at any time after January 1, in the year next preceding the first of such mandatory redemption to purchase term Bonds maturing on the Stated Maturity of the respective term bond, in the open market at a price not in excess of their principal amount and moneys deposited in the Series 2023A Debt Service Account may be used for the purpose of paying interest on the Bonds so purchased at the rate specified thereon to the date of purchase. Each bond so purchased shall be credited at 100% of the principal amount thereof on the obligation of the City to redeem Bonds on the next mandatory redemption date applicable to Bonds of such Stated Maturity, and the principal amount of Bonds of such Stated Maturity to be redeemed by operation of the preceding paragraph shall be reduced accordingly.

(b) Optional Redemption. At the option of the City, the Series 2023A Bonds or portions thereof may be called for redemption and payment prior to their Stated Maturities in whole or in part at any time in such amounts for each Stated Maturity as shall be determined by the City at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series 2023A Bonds, plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date, as set forth in the Certificate of Final Terms.

Section 302. Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed.

(a) The Paying Agent shall call Bonds for redemption and payment as herein provided upon receipt at least forty-five (45) days prior to the Redemption Date of a written request of the City; provided, however, that no such request shall be required for mandatory redemption of Bonds pursuant to Section 301(a) hereof. Such request shall specify the principal amount of the Bonds to be called for redemption, the Redemption Price or Price(s) and the Redemption Date.

(b) Bonds shall be redeemed in the principal amount of $5,000.00 or an integral multiple thereof. In the case of a partial redemption of Bonds of the same Stated Maturity, the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the Paying Agent from the Outstanding Bonds of that Stated Maturity by such methods as the Paying Agent shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal of Outstanding Bonds of that Stated Maturity that have been issued in a denomination larger than $5,000.00. The portions of the principal of Outstanding Bonds so selected for partial redemption shall be equal to $5,000.00 or integral multiples thereof. Any Bond which is to be redeemed only in part shall be submitted to the Paying Agent and delivered to the bond registrar, who shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner of such Bond, without service charge, a new Bond or Bonds, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Owner in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Bond so surrendered. If the Owner of any such Bond of a denomination greater than $5,000.00 shall fail to present such Bond to the Paying Agent for payment and exchange as aforesaid, such Bond shall, nevertheless, become due and payable on the Redemption Date to the extent of the principal amount of such Bond called for redemption (and to that extent only).

Section 303. Notice and Effect of Call for Redemption.

(a) The Paying Agent shall give written notice in the name of the City of its intention to redeem and pay Bonds at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent or such other office as the Paying Agent may designate. Notice of redemption shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Owner of Bonds to be redeemed, at such Owner’s address appearing in the Bond Register. All notices of redemption shall state:

(1) The Redemption Date;

(2) The Redemption Price;

(3) If less than all Outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed;

(4) That on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Bond, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date;

(5) The place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and

(6) The Bond Number and CUSIP number, if any.

(b) With respect to optional redemptions, such notice may be conditioned upon moneys being on deposit with the Paying Agent on or prior to the Redemption Date in an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date. If such notice is conditional and either the Paying Agent receives written notice from the City that moneys sufficient to pay the Redemption Price will not be on deposit on the Redemption Date, or such moneys are not received on the Redemption Date, then such notice shall be of no force and effect, the Paying Agent shall not redeem such Bonds and the Paying Agent shall give notice, in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not or will not be so received and that such Bonds will not be redeemed.

(c) The failure of the Owner of any Bond to be redeemed to receive written notice mailed as hereinabove provided shall not affect or invalidate the redemption of said Bond. If any Bond is called for redemption and payment as aforesaid, all interest on such Bond shall cease from and after the date for which such call is made, provided funds are made available to the Paying Agent for its payment on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price.

(d) The Paying Agent is also directed to comply with any mandatory or voluntary standards then in effect for processing redemptions of municipal securities established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Failure to comply with such standards shall not affect or invalidate the redemption of any Bond to be redeemed.

Upon the occurrence of a Bond Reserve Requirement Funding Commencement Date, the City shall, pursuant to the provisions of Section 602 hereof, make equal monthly deposits as provided in the Certificate of Final Terms until the Bond Reserve Requirement is satisfied.

(b) In lieu of making cash deposits to the Series 2023A Reserve Account, the Bond Reserve Requirement may be satisfied by a surety bond, subject to the following requirements: (1) the provider of the surety bond must, at the time of issuance, have a Rating of one of the two highest rating categories by a Rating Agency; (2) the City shall not secure any obligation to the provider of a surety bond by a lien equal to or superior to the lien granted to the Bonds; (3) the surety bond shall have a term of at least one year (or, if less, the remaining term of the Bonds) and shall entitle the City to draw upon or demand payment and receive the amount so requested in immediately available funds on the date of such draw or demand; (4) the surety bond shall permit a drawing by the City for the full stated amount in the event (i) the surety bond expires or terminates for any reason prior to the final maturity of the Bonds, and (ii) the City fails to satisfy the Bond Reserve Requirement by the deposit to the Series 2023A Reserve Account of either (A) cash or Permitted Investments or (B) a letter of credit or a substitute surety bond (“Substitute Surety Bond”), or (C) any combination thereof, on or before the date of such expiration or termination; and (5) if the provider of the surety bond commences any insolvency proceedings or is determined to be insolvent or fails to make payments when due on its obligations, the City shall provide a Substitute Surety Bond within sixty (60) days thereafter, and, if no Substitute Surety Bond is obtained by such date, shall fund the Bond Reserve Requirement in equal monthly deposits as described in the Certificate of Final Terms commencing not later than the first day of the month immediately succeeding the date representing the end of such sixty (60) day period. If the event described in clause (5) above occurs, the City shall not relinquish the surety bond at issue until after the Bond Reserve Requirement is fully satisfied by the provision of cash, obligations, or a Substitute Surety Bond or any combination thereof. Any amount received from a draw on the surety bond shall be deposited directly into the Series 2023A Debt Service Account, and such deposit shall constitute the application of amounts in the Series 2023A Reserve Account. Repayment of any draw-down on the surety bond (other than repayments which reinstate the surety bond) and any interest or fees due the provider of the surety bond under such surety bond shall be secured by a lien on the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues subordinate to payments into the Series 2023A Debt Service Account securing the Bonds.

(c) If the City elects to deposit a Substitute Surety Bond in the Series 2023A Reserve Account in lieu of moneys on deposit therein, then, upon any such deposit, the cash in an amount equal to, or Permitted Investments held therein having a market value equal to, the face amount of the Substitute Surety Bond then being deposited, shall be returned to the City, except that moneys on deposit in such fund which were originally proceeds of any Bonds shall be either transferred to the Series 2023A Debt Service Account or applied for any other use specified by the City if there shall be delivered to the Paying Agent an Opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such other use will not adversely affect the excludability of the interest on the Series 2023A Bonds from the gross income of the Owners thereof for purposes of Federal income taxation and is permitted by the Outstanding Parity Bond Ordinance and the 2022 Election.

(d) The Director of Finance is hereby authorized to execute any and all agreements with a bond surety company (the “Indemnitor”) in order to effectuate the issuance of the surety bond, specifically including, but not limited to, any agreement necessary in order to reimburse the Indemnitor for moneys advanced under the surety bond. In the event moneys are advanced by the Indemnitor, the City shall reimburse the Indemnitor from all funds legally available in the Sewer Fund, subject only to the payments required by Section 602(a) (1) and (2) hereof.

(e) All moneys in any Outstanding Parity Bond Reserve Account shall be used for the payment of principal of and interest on the related series of bonds for which funds might not otherwise be available, or to pay a like amount of the last maturing bonds of such series.

(f) Should the City expend any portion of the Series 2023A Reserve Account and thereby reduce the amount therein below the Bond Reserve Requirement, except for the purpose for retiring all Outstanding Bonds, or should a valuation of the 2023A Reserve Account indicate that it is below the Bond Reserve Requirement, the City shall, subject to the provisions of subsection (g) of this Section 403, transfer monthly to such Series 2023A Reserve Account, all available funds after providing for the payments and transfers set forth in Sections 602(a)(1) and (2) hereof, until such Series 2023A Reserve Account shall have again satisfied the Bond Reserve Requirement. Any amounts in the Series 2023A Reserve Account in excess of the Bond Reserve Requirement on any Valuation Date shall be transferred by the City to the Sewer Fund or to such other fund or account described in this Article IV.

(g) If at any time the moneys in the Sewer Fund shall be insufficient to make in full any payments and credits at the time required to be made by the City to the bond reserve accounts established by the City to protect the payment of the outstanding Sanitary Sewer System Revenue Bonds of the City including only the Bonds, the Outstanding Parity Bonds and other sanitary system revenue bonds of the City hereafter issued and standing on a parity with the Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds, the available moneys in the Sewer Fund shall be divided among such bond reserve accounts in proportion to the respective principal amounts of said series of Sanitary Sewer System Revenue Bonds of the City at the time outstanding which are payable from the moneys in such bond reserve accounts.

The balance transferred to the Series 2023A Debt Service Account may first be used to pay any principal payment on the Bonds coming due in that current bond year. If the balance transferred is greater than the current bond year principal payment, the excess shall be used to call Bonds for redemption in accordance with Section 301(b) hereof. Any Bonds purchased by the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 501 with moneys from the Series 2023A Debt Service Account will be deemed cancelled.

(b) If the amount in the Sewer Fund is not sufficient to make the payments at the time required to be made by the City to the Series 2023A Reserve Account (if required pursuant to Section 402 hereof) and to the Outstanding Parity Bond Debt Service Reserve Account, the City will divide the balance in the Sewer Fund between the Series 2023A Reserve Account and the Outstanding Parity Bond Debt Service Reserve Account on a proportionate basis (based upon the outstanding principal amounts of the Series 2023A Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds).

The City will require the prompt payment of accounts for service rendered by or through the Sanitary Sewer System and will promptly take whatever action is legally permissible to enforce and collect delinquent charges.

(b) The City has covenanted in the ordinances applicable to the Outstanding Parity Bonds to comply with the rate covenant set forth in the applicable ordinance so long as such bonds are outstanding.

Section 803. Reasonable Charges for all Services. None of the facilities or services provided by the Sanitary Sewer System will be furnished to any user without a reasonable charge being made therefore.

Section 804. Performance of Duties. The City will faithfully and punctually perform all duties and obligations with respect to the operation of the Sanitary Sewer System now or hereafter imposed upon the City by any applicable laws, including the constitution and laws of the State and the provisions of this Ordinance.

Section 805. Tax Covenants.

(a) The City covenants and agrees that (1) it will comply with all applicable provisions of the Code necessary to maintain the exclusion from federal gross income of the interest on the Bonds and (2) comply with all provisions and requirements of the Federal Tax Certificate. The Director of Finance is hereby authorized to execute the Federal Tax Certificate in a form approved by Bond Counsel, for and on behalf of and as the act and deed of the City. The City will also pass such other ordinances or resolutions and take such other actions as may be necessary to comply with the Code and with all other applicable future laws, regulations, published rulings and judicial decisions in order to ensure that the interest on the Bonds will remain excluded from federal gross income, to the extent any such actions can be taken by the City.

The Director of Finance is hereby authorized to execute and deliver the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking for and on behalf of the City, with such changes therein as he deems necessary or desirable.

ARTICLE IX

ADDITIONAL BONDS

Section 901. Prior Lien Bonds. Except as provided in Section 904 hereof, the City will not issue any debt obligations payable out of the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues which are superior in lien, security or otherwise to the Bonds.

Section 902. Parity Lien Bonds or Obligations.

(a) Except as provided in Section 904 hereof, the City will not issue any additional bonds or other long-term obligations payable out of the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues which stand on a parity or equality with the Bonds unless the following conditions are met:

(1) The City is not in default in the payment of principal or interest on the Bonds or the Parity Bonds or in making any deposit into the funds and accounts under this Ordinance or any Parity Ordinance; and

(2) For so long as any of the Series 2023A Bonds remain Outstanding, the City provides to the Paying Agent a certificate showing either of the following:

(i) The average annual Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service plus Administrative Service Fees as set forth in the two most recent annual audits for Fiscal Years preceding the issuance of additional bonds, are at least 110% of the average annual debt service on the Sanitary Sewer System Revenue Bonds (excluding subordinate revenue bonds or obligations), including the additional bonds proposed to be issued, to be paid out of the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service in all succeeding Fiscal Years. Interest to be paid on any SRF Program Bonds may be reduced by the SRF Subsidy, if any. In determining Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service, the City may rely on a certificate of the Consultant to add the additional Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service which would have resulted if the rate increase had been in effect for the entire period to the audited Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues if the City has made any increase in rates for the use and services of the Sanitary Sewer System and the increase has not been in effect during all of the two Fiscal Years for which annual audits are available; or

(ii) The estimated average annual Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service plus Administrative Service Fees for the two Fiscal Years immediately following the Fiscal Year in which the improvements to the Sanitary Sewer System being financed by the additional bonds are to be in commercial operation, as certified by the Consultant, is at least 110% of the average annual debt service on the Sanitary Sewer System Revenue Bonds (excluding subordinate revenue bonds or obligations), including the additional bonds proposed to be issued, to be paid out of the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service in succeeding Fiscal Years following the commencement of commercial operation of the improvements. Interest to be paid on any SRF Program Bonds may be reduced by the SRF Subsidy, if any. In determining the amount of estimated Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service for the purpose of this subsection, the Consultant may adjust the estimated net income and revenues by adding the estimated increase in Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service resulting from any increase in rates for the use and services of the Sanitary Sewer System approved by the City.

(b) If the conditions set forth in this Section 902 are satisfied, the City (1) may issue additional revenue bonds or other obligations of the City on a parity with the Bonds and that enjoy complete equality of the lien on the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues with the Bonds, (2) may make equal provision for paying the additional revenue bonds or other obligations from the Sewer Fund, and (3) may secure the additional revenue bonds or other obligations by funding reasonable debt service accounts and debt service reserve accounts from the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues.

(c) The City has covenanted in the ordinances applicable to the Outstanding Parity Bonds to comply with the additional bonds test set forth in the applicable ordinance so long as such bonds are outstanding.

Section 903. Junior Lien Bonds. Nothing in this Article IX prohibits or restricts the right of the City to issue additional revenue obligations, including revenue bonds, for the purpose of extending, improving, enlarging, repairing or altering the Sanitary Sewer System, that are subordinate to the Bonds if at the time of the issuance of the additional revenue obligations the City is not in default in the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Ordinance. If the City is in default in paying either interest on or principal of the Bonds, or if the Series 2023A Reserve Account is not fully funded to the extent required by Section 403 hereof, the City shall not make any payments on the subordinate revenue obligations until the default is cured. Subject to the limitations in this Section 903, the City may make provision for paying the principal of and interest on the subordinate revenue bonds or obligations from moneys in the Sewer Fund.

Section 904. Refunding Bonds. The City may, without complying with the provisions of Section 902 hereof, refund any of the Bonds in a manner which provides debt service savings to the City, and the refunding bonds so issued will be on a parity with any of the Bonds that are not refunded and any Outstanding Parity Bonds.

ARTICLE X

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 1001. Acceleration of Maturity in Event of Default. The City covenants and agrees that if it shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Bonds as the same shall become due on any bond payment date, or if the City or the Council of the City or any of the officers, agents, or employees thereof shall fail or refuse to comply with any of the provisions of this Ordinance or of the constitution or statutes of the State, and such default continues for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice specifying such default has been given to the City by the Registered Owner of any Bond then Outstanding, then, at any time thereafter and while such default continues, the Registered Owners of twenty-five percent (25%) in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding may, by written notice to the City filed in the office of the City Clerk or delivered in person to the City Clerk, declare the principal of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration given as aforesaid, all of the Bonds shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in this Ordinance or in the Bonds contained to the contrary notwithstanding. This provision, however, is subject to the condition that if at any time after the principal of the Outstanding Bonds has been so declared to be due and payable, all arrears of interest upon all Outstanding Bonds, except interest accrued but not yet due on such Bonds, and all arrears of principal upon all of said Bonds shall have been paid in full, and all other defaults, if any, by the City under the provisions of this Ordinance and under the provisions of the constitution or statutes of the State shall have been cured, then and in every such case, the Registered Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, by written notice to the City given as hereinbefore specified, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any rights consequent thereon.

Section 1002. Remedies.

(a) The provisions of this Ordinance constitute a contract between the City and the Owners of the Bonds. The Owner or Owners of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding have the right for the equal benefit and protection of all Owners of Bonds similarly situated:

(1) by any proceeding at law or in equity to enforce the rights of the Owner or Owners against the City and its officers, agents and employees, and to compel the performance by the City of its duties and obligations under this Ordinance, the Constitution and the laws of the State;

(2) by any proceeding at law or in equity to require the City, its officers, agents and employees to account as if they were the Paying Agents of an express trust; and

(3) by any proceeding at law or in equity to enjoin any act or thing which is unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Owners of the Bonds.

(b) Any amounts paid on the Bonds to the Owners will be applied first to interest and second to principal, to the extent due and payable.

Section 1003. Limitation on Rights of Bondowners. No Owner has any right in any manner whatever by the Owner’s action to affect, disturb or prejudice the security granted and provided for in, or enforce any right under, this Ordinance, except in the manner provided in this Ordinance. All proceedings at law or in equity will be for the equal benefit of all Owners.

Section 1004. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy conferred upon the Owners is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy. Each remedy is in addition to every other remedy and may be exercised without exhausting any other remedy conferred under this Ordinance. No waiver by any Owner of any default or breach of duty or contract of the City under this Ordinance will affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract by the City or impair any rights or remedies thereon. No delay or omission of any Owner to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default will impair any right or power or will be construed to be a waiver of any default. Every substantive right and every remedy conferred upon the Owners of the Bonds by this Ordinance may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as may be expedient.

DEFEASANCE

Bonds will be treated as paid and discharged within the meaning of this Ordinance if the City has deposited with the Paying Agent, or other bank or trust company located in the State, having full trust powers and meeting the requirements of a successor paying agent, (i) moneys and non-callable Defeasance Securities which, together with interest to be earned, as evidenced by the written report of an independent certified public accountant, will be sufficient for the payment of the principal and redemption premium, if any, of and interest to accrue on the Bonds to the date of maturity or redemption, and (ii) an opinion of Bond Counsel, addressed to the Paying Agent, that providing for the payment of the Bonds by depositing moneys or Defeasance Securities with the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 1101 will not cause the interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. If any Bonds will be redeemed prior to maturity, the City must have given irrevocable instructions to the Paying Agent to redeem the Bonds. Any moneys and obligations which at any time are deposited with the Paying Agent or other bank by or on behalf of the City, for the purpose of paying and discharging any of the Bonds, are assigned, transferred and set over in trust for the applicable Owners, and the moneys and obligations are irrevocably appropriated to the payment and discharge of the applicable Bonds.
