19.06
REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER
Any
Bond may be transferred upon the books required
to be kept pursuant to this section by the person
in whose name it is registered, in person or by
the registered owner's duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of the Bond for cancellation, accompanied
by delivery of a duly executed written instrument
of transfer in a form approved by the transfer agent.
Whenever any Bond or Bonds shall be surrendered
for transfer, the Issuer shall execute and the transfer
agent shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond
or Bonds, for like aggregate principal amount. The
transfer agent shall require payment by the bondholder
requesting the transfer of any tax or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer.
The transfer agent shall not be required (i) to
issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
Bond during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the giving of
a notice of redemption of Bonds selected for redemption
as described in the form of the Series 2004 Bond
contained in Section 18 of this Ordinance and ending
at the close of business on the day of that giving
of notice, or (ii) to register the transfer of or
exchange of any Bond so selected for redemption
in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion
of Bonds being redeemed in part. The Issuer shall
give the transfer agent notice of call for redemption
at least 20 days prior to the date notice of redemption
is to be given.
The
transfer agent shall keep or cause to be kept, at
its principal office, sufficient books for the registration
and transfer of the Bonds, which shall at all times
be open to inspection by the Issuer; and, upon presentation
for such purpose, the transfer agent shall, under

Bonds as hereinbefore provided.
If
any Bond shall become mutilated, the Issuer, at
the expense of the holder of the Bond, shall execute,
and the transfer agent shall authenticate and deliver,
a new Bond of like tenor in exchange and substitution
for the mutilated Bond, upon surrender to the transfer
agent of the mutilated Bond. If any Bond issued
under this Ordinance shall be lost, destroyed or
stolen, evidence of the loss, destruction or theft
may be submitted to the transfer agent and, if this
evidence is satisfactory to both and indemnity satisfactory
to the transfer agent shall be given, and if all
requirements of any applicable law including Act

Issuer, at the expense of the owner, shall execute,
and the transfer agent shall thereupon authenticate
and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor and bearing
the statement required by Act 354, or any applicable
law hereafter enacted, in lieu of and in substitution
for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen. If any
such Bond shall have matured or shall be about to
mature, instead of issuing a substitute Bond the
transfer agent may pay the same without surrender
thereof.
19.07
PAYMENT OF BONDS; SECURITY
The
Series 2004 Bonds and the interest thereon shall
be payable from the Net Revenues, and to secure
such payment, there is hereby created a statutory
lien upon the whole of the Net Revenues which shall
be a first lien to continue until payment in full
of the principal of and interest on the Series 2004
Bonds payable from the Net Revenues, or, until sufficient
cash or Sufficient Government Obligations have been
deposited in trust for payment in full of the Series
2004 Bonds then outstanding, principal and interest
on such Series 2004 Bonds to maturity, or, if called
for redemption, to the date fixed for redemption
together with the amount of the redemption premium,
if any. Upon deposit of cash or Sufficient Government
Obligations, as provided in the previous sentence,
the statutory lien shall be terminated with respect
to the Series 2004 Bonds, the holders of the Series
2004 Bonds shall have no further rights under this
Ordinance except for payment from the deposited
funds, and the Series 2004 Bonds shall no longer
be considered to be outstanding under this Ordinance.
As
additional security for the Series 2004 Bonds sold
to the Authority, the Issuer hereby pledges its
revenue sharing payments from the State of Michigan
for the payment of the principal of and interest
on the Series 2004 Bonds. Should the Net Revenues
at any time be insufficient to pay the principal
of and interest on the Series 2004 Bonds as the
same become due, then the Issuer shall advance funds
which it receives from the State of Michigan as
revenue sharing payments as shall be necessary to
pay said principal and interest. The Issuer shall
be reimbursed for any such advance from the Net
Revenues subsequently received which are not otherwise
pledged or encumbered by this Ordinance.
19.08
BONDHOLDERS' RIGHTS; RECEIVER
The
holder or holders of the Bonds representing in the
aggregate not less than twenty percent (20%) of
the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding,
may, by suit, action, mandamus or other proceedings,
protect and enforce the statutory lien upon the
Net Revenues of the System, and may, by suit, action,
mandamus or other proceedings, enforce and compel
performance of all duties of the officers of the
Issuer, including the fixing of sufficient rates,
the collection of Revenues, the proper segregation
of the Revenues of the System and the proper application
thereof. The statutory lien upon the Net Revenues,
however, shall not be construed as to compel the
sale of the System or any part thereof.
If
there is a default in the payment of the principal
of or interest on the Bonds, any court having jurisdiction
in any proper action may appoint a receiver to administer
and operate the System on behalf of the Issuer and
under the direction of the court, and by and with
the approval of the court to perform all of the
duties of the officers of the Issuer more particularly
set forth herein and in Act 94.
The
holder or holders of the Bonds shall have all other
rights and remedies given by Act 94 and law, for
the payment and enforcement of the Bonds and the
security therefor.
19.09
MANAGEMENT, FISCAL YEAR
The
operation, repair and management of the System and
the acquiring of the Project shall continue to be
under the supervision and control of the Village
Council. The Village Council may employ such person
or persons in such capacity or capacities, as it
deems advisable to carry on the efficient management
and operation of the System. The Village Council
may make such rules and regulations as it deems
advisable and necessary to assure the efficient
management and operation of the System. The System
shall be operated on the basis of an operating year
which shall coincide with the Village's fiscal year.
19.10
RATES AND CHARGES
The
rates and charges for service furnished by and the
use of the System and the methods of collection
and enforcement of the collection of the rates shall
be those in effect on the date of adoption of this
Ordinance.
19.11
NO FREE SERVICE OR USE
No
free service or use of the System, or service or
use of the System at less than cost, shall be furnished
by the System to any person, firm or corporation,
public or private, or to any public agency or instrumentality,
including the Issuer.
19.12
FIXING AND REVISING RATES; RATE COVENANT
The
rates now in effect and the rate increases to be
placed into effect, if any, are estimated to be
sufficient to provide for the payment of the expenses
of administration and operation and such expenses
for maintenance of the System as are necessary to
preserve the System in good repair and working order,
to provide for the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Bonds as the same become due and
payable, and the maintenance of the reserve therefor
and to provide for all other obligations, expenditures
and funds for the System required by law and this
Ordinance. The rates shall be fixed and revised
from time to time as may be necessary to produce
these amounts, and it is hereby covenanted and agreed
to fix and maintain rates for services furnished
by the System at all times sufficient to provide
for the foregoing.
19.13
FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS; FLOW OF FUNDS
Commencing
upon the adoption of this Ordinance, all funds belonging
to the System shall be transferred as herein indicated
and all Revenues of the System shall be set aside
as collected and credited to a fund to be designated
WATER SUPPLY AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM RECEIVING
FUND (the "Receiving Fund"). In addition,
all Revenues in any accounts of the System shall
be transferred to the Receiving Fund and credited
to the funds and accounts as provided in this section.
The Revenues credited to the Receiving Fund are
pledged for the purpose of the following accounts
and shall be transferred or debited from the Receiving
Fund periodically in the manner and at the times
and in the order of priority hereinafter specified:
A.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT: Out of the Revenues
credited to the Receiving Fund there shall be first
set aside in, or credited to, a fund designated
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT (the "Operation
and Maintenance Account"), monthly a sum sufficient
to provide for the payment of the next month's expenses
of administration and operation of the System and
such current expenses for the maintenance thereof
as may be necessary to preserve the same in good
repair and working order.
A
budget, showing in detail the estimated costs of
administration, operation and maintenance of the
System for the next ensuing operating year, shall
be prepared by the Village Council at least 30 days
prior to the commencement of each ensuing operating
year. No payments shall be made to the Issuer from
moneys credited to the Operation and Maintenance
Account except for services directly rendered to
the System by the Issuer or its personnel.
B.
BOND AND INTEREST REDEMPTION ACCOUNT: There shall
be established and maintained a separate depositary
account designated BOND AND INTEREST REDEMPTION
ACCOUNT (the "Redemption Account"), the
moneys on deposit therein from time to time to be
used solely for the purpose of paying the principal
of, redemption premiums (if any) and interest on
the Bonds. The moneys in the Redemption Account
shall be kept on deposit with the bank or trust
company where the principal of and interest on the
Bonds, or any series thereof, are payable.
Out
of the Revenues remaining in the Receiving Fund,
after provision for the Operation and Maintenance
Fund, there shall be set aside each month commencing
April 1, 2004 in the Redemption Account a sum proportionately
sufficient to provide for the payment when due of
the current principal of and interest on the Bonds,
less any amount in the Redemption Account representing
accrued interest on the Bonds or investment income
on amounts on deposit in the Redemption Account,
(including investment income on amounts held as
part of the Bond Reserve Account). Commencing April
1, 2004, the amount set aside each month for interest
on the Bonds shall be equal to a fraction derived
from the number of months from April 1, 2004 to
the first interest payment date of the total amount
of interest on the Bonds next coming due. Commencing
on the first interest payment date, the amount set
aside each month for interest on the Bonds shall
be 1/6 of the total amount of interest on the Bonds
next coming due. The amount set aside each month
for principal, commencing April 1, 2004, shall be
equal to that amount which is that fraction derived
from the number of months from April 1, 2004 to
the first principal payment date of the amount of
principal next coming due by maturity and the amount
set aside each month for principal payment commencing
on the first principal payment date, shall be 1/12
of the amount of principal next coming due by maturity.
If there is any deficiency in the amount previously
set aside, that deficiency shall be added to the
next succeeding monthly requirements. The amount
to be set aside for the payment of principal and
interest on any date shall not exceed the amount
which, when added to the money on deposit in the
Redemption Account, including investment income
thereon, is necessary to pay principal and interest
due on the Bonds on the next succeeding principal
payment date.
There
is hereby established a separate account in the
Redemption Account designated BOND RESERVE ACCOUNT
(the "Bond Reserve Account"). Any ordinance
authorizing the issuance of a subsequent series
of Bonds may provide for deposits to the Bond Reserve
Account to be made from the proceeds of such series
of Bonds or from some other source in an amount
that will result in the funds or other assets on
deposit in the Bond Reserve Account being equal
to the Reserve Amount for the Bonds.
Except as otherwise provided in this section, the
moneys or other funding sources credited to the
Bond Reserve Account shall be used solely for the
payment of the principal and redemption price (if
any) of and interest on the Bonds as to which there
would otherwise be a default or on the final maturity
date for the Bonds of the series to which moneys
in the Bond Reserve Account relate. If at any time
it shall be necessary to use moneys credited to
the Bond Reserve Account for such payment, then
the moneys so used shall be replaced from the Revenues
first received thereafter in the Receiving Fund
which are not required to be deposited in the Operation
and Maintenance Account or the Redemption Account.
C.
REPLACEMENT ACCOUNT: There shall next be established
and maintained an account designated REPLACEMENT
ACCOUNT (the "Replacement Account"), the
money credited thereto to be used solely for the
purpose of making repairs and replacements to the
System. Out of the Revenues and moneys of the System
remaining in the Receiving Fund each month after
provision has been made for the deposit of moneys
in the Operation and Maintenance Account and the
Redemption Account (including the Bond Reserve Account),
there may be deposited in the Replacement Account
such additional funds as the Village Council may
deem advisable. If at any time it shall be necessary
to use moneys in the Replacement Account for the
purpose for which the Replacement Account was established,
the moneys so used shall be replaced from any moneys
in the Receiving Fund which are not required by
this Ordinance to be used for the Operation and
Maintenance Account or the Redemption Account (including
the Bond Reserve Account).
D.
IMPROVEMENT ACCOUNT: Out of the remaining Revenues
in the Receiving Fund, after meeting the requirements
of the Operation and Maintenance Account, the Redemption
Account (including the Bond Reserve Account) and
the Replacement Account, there may be next set aside
in or credited to a fund to be designated IMPROVEMENT
ACCOUNT (the "Improvement Account"), which
Improvement Account may have several subaccounts
therein, such sums monthly as the Issuer may deem
advisable to be used for additions, improvements,
enlargements or extensions to the System, including
the planning thereof.
E.
GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT ACCOUNT: There is hereby
established a separate account known as the GENERAL
OBLIGATION DEBT ACCOUNT (the "G.O. Debt Account").
Out of the remaining Revenues in the Receiving Fund,
there may be next set aside in or credited to monthly
after meeting the requirements of the foregoing
Accounts, to the G.O. Debt Account, or from other
available moneys such sums as shall be necessary
to pay debt service on presently existing or future
general obligation bond issues of the Issuer or
general obligations or contractual obligations of
the Issuer incurred or to be incurred for System
purposes.
F.
SURPLUS MONEYS: Thereafter, any Revenues in the
Receiving Fund after satisfying all the foregoing
requirements of this Section may, at the discretion
of the Issuer, be used for any of the following
purposes:
1. Transferred to the Replacement Account, the Improvement
Account or both, or
2. Transferred to the Redemption Account and used
for the purchase of Bonds on the open market at
not more than the fair market value thereof or used
to redeem Bonds prior to maturity pursuant to Section
5 of this Ordinance.
19.14
PRIORITY OF FUNDS
In
the event the moneys in the Receiving Fund are insufficient
to provide for the current requirements of the Operation
and Maintenance Account or the Redemption Account,
any moneys or securities in other accounts of the
System, except the proceeds of sale of the Bonds,
shall be credited or transferred, first, to the
Operation and Maintenance Account, and second to
the Redemption Account.
19.15
DEPOSITARY AND FUNDS ON HAND
Moneys
in the several funds and the accounts established
pursuant to this Ordinance, except moneys in the
Redemption Account (including the Bond Reserve Account)
and moneys derived from the proceeds of sale of
the Bonds, may be kept in one or more bank accounts
at a bank or banks designated by resolution of the
Issuer, and if kept in one bank account the moneys
shall be allocated on the books and records of the
Issuer in the manner and at the times provided in
this Ordinance.
19.16
INVESTMENTS
Moneys
in the funds and accounts established herein and
moneys derived from the proceeds of sale of the
Bonds, may be invested by the Issuer in United States
of America obligations or in obligations the principal
of and interest on which is fully guaranteed by
the United States of America and any investments
hereafter permitted by law, and moneys derived from
the proceeds of sale of the Bonds may also be invested
in certificates of deposit of any bank whose deposits
are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Investment of moneys in the Redemption Account being
accumulated for payment of the next maturing principal
or interest payment of the Bonds shall be limited
to obligations bearing maturity dates prior to the
date of the next maturing principal or interest
payment on the Bonds. Investment of moneys in the
Bond Reserve Account shall be limited to obligations
bearing maturity dates or subject to redemption,
at the option of the holder thereof, not later than
five years from the date of the investment. In the
event investments are made, any securities representing
the same shall be kept on deposit with the bank
or trust company having on deposit the fund or funds
or account from which the purchase was made. Profit
realized or interest income earned on investment
of funds in the Receiving Fund, Operation and Maintenance
Account and Improvement Account shall be deposited
in or credited to the Receiving Fund at the end
of each fiscal year. Profit realized on interest
income earned on investment of moneys in the Redemption
Fund including income derived from the Bond Reserve
Account shall be credited as received to the Redemption
Account.
19.17
BOND PROCEEDS
From
the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds there shall
be immediately deposited in the Redemption Account
an amount equal to the accrued interest and premium,
if any, received on the delivery of the Bonds. The
balance of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds
when received from the Authority shall be deposited
in a bank or banks, designated by the Village Council,
qualified to act as depository of the proceeds of
sale under the provisions of Section 15 of Act 94,
in an account designated CONSTRUCTION FUND (the
"Construction Fund"). Moneys in the Construction
Fund shall be applied solely in payment of the costs
of the Project, including any engineering, legal
and other expenses incident thereto and to the financing
thereof. Payments for construction, either on account
or otherwise, shall not be made unless the registered
engineer in charge of such work shall file with
the Village Council a signed statement to the effect
that the work has been completed in accordance with
the plans and specifications therefor; that it was
done pursuant to and in accordance with the contract
therefor (including properly authorized change orders),
that such work is satisfactory and that such work
has not been previously paid for.
Any
unexpended balance of the proceeds of sale of the
Bonds remaining after completion of the Project
in the Construction Fund may, at the discretion
of the Issuer, be used for further improvements,
enlargements and extension to the System, if, at
the time of such expenditures, such use is approved
by the Michigan Department of Treasury, if such
permission is then required by law. Any remaining
balance after such expenditure shall be paid to
the Redemption Account and may be used for the purpose
of purchasing Bonds on the open market at not more
than the fair market value thereof, but not more
than the price at which the Bonds may next be called
for redemption, or used for the purpose of paying
principal of the Bonds upon maturity or calling
Bonds for redemption.
19.18

The
Bonds shall be in substantially the following form:

respect thereto in accordance with the terms of
this bond.
The
Principal Amount shall be payable on the dates and
in the annual principal installment amounts set
forth in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part
hereof, as such Schedule may be adjusted if less
than $3,690,000 is disbursed to the Village or if
a portion of the Principal Amount is prepaid as
provided below, with interest on said principal
installments from the date each said installment
is delivered to the holder hereof until paid at
the rate of two and one-half percent (2.5%) per
annum. Interest is first payable on October 1, 2004,
and semiannually thereafter and principal is payable
on the first day of October commencing October 1,
2005 (as set forth in the Purchase Contract) and
annually thereafter.
The
Bonds may be subject to redemption prior to maturity
by the Issuer only with the prior written consent
of the Authority and on such terms as may be required
by the Authority.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this bond, as long as the
Authority is the owner of this bond, (a) this bond
is payable as to principal, premium, if any, and
interest at the designated office of Bank One Trust
Company, National Association, or at such other
place as shall be designated in writing to the Village
by the Authority (the "Authority's Depository");
(b) the Village agrees that it will deposit with
the Authority's Depository payments of the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on this bond in
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon at least
five business days prior to the date on which any
such payment is due whether by maturity, redemption
or otherwise; in the event that the Authority's
Depository has not received the Village's deposit
by 12:00 noon on the scheduled day, the Village
shall immediately pay to the Authority as invoiced
by the Authority an amount to recover the Authority's
administrative cost and lost investment earnings
attributable to that late payment; and (c) written
notice of any redemption of this bond shall be given
by the Village and received by the Authority's Depository
at least 40 days prior to the date on which such
redemption is to be made.
Additional Interest
In the event of a default in the payment of principal
or interest hereon when due, whether at maturity,
by redemption or otherwise, the amount of such default
shall bear interest (the "additional interest")
at a rate equal to the rate of interest which is
two percent above the Authority's cost of providing
funds (as determined by the Authority) to make payment
on the bonds of the Authority issued to provide
funds to purchase this bond but in no event in excess
of the maximum rate of interest permitted by law.
The additional interest shall continue to accrue
until the Authority has been fully reimbursed for
all costs incurred by the Authority (as determined
by the Authority) as a consequence of the Village's
default. Such additional interest shall be payable
on the interest payment date following demand of
the Authority. In the event that (for reasons other
than the default in the payment of any municipal
obligation purchased by the Authority) the investment
of amounts in the reserve account established by
the Authority for the bonds of the Authority issued
to provide funds to purchase this bond fails to
provide sufficient available funds (together with
any other funds which may be made available for
such purpose) to pay the interest on outstanding
bonds of the Authority issued to fund such account,
the Village shall and hereby agrees to pay on demand
only the Village's pro rata share (as determined
by the Authority) of such deficiency as additional
interest on this bond.
For
prompt payment of principal and interest on this
bond, the Village has irrevocably pledged the revenues
of the Water Supply and Sewage Disposal System of
the Village, including all appurtenances, extensions
and improvements thereto (the "System"),
after provision has been made for reasonable and
necessary expenses of operation, maintenance and
administration (the "Net Revenues"), and
a statutory lien thereon is hereby recognized and
created.
This
bond is a single, fully-registered, non-convertible
bond in the principal sum indicated above issued
pursuant to Ordinance No. 317 duly adopted by the
Village Council of the Village, and under and in
full compliance with the Constitution and statutes
of the State of Michigan, including specifically
Act 94, Public Acts of Michigan, 1933, as amended,
for the purpose of paying part of the cost of acquiring
and constructing additions, extensions and improvements
to the System.
For
a complete statement of the revenues from which
and the conditions under which this bond is payable,
a statement of the conditions under which additional
bonds of superior and equal standing may hereafter
be issued and the general covenants and provisions
pursuant to which this bond is issued, reference
is made to the above-described Ordinance.
This
bond is a self-liquidating bond, payable, both as
to principal and interest, primarily from the Net
Revenues of the Water Supply and Sewage Disposal
System. The principal of and interest on this bond
are secured by the statutory lien hereinbefore mentioned.
The
Village has covenanted and agreed, and does hereby
covenant and agree, to fix and maintain at all times
while any bonds payable from the Net Revenues of
the System shall be outstanding, such rates for
service furnished by the System as shall be sufficient
to provide for payment of the interest upon and
the principal of the bonds of this issue, as and
when the same shall become due and payable, and
to maintain a bond redemption account (including
a bond reserve account) therefor, to provide for
the payment of expenses of administration and operation
and such expenses for maintenance of the System
as are necessary to preserve the same in good repair
and working order, and to provide for such other
expenditures and funds for the System as are required
by said Ordinance.
This
bond is transferable only upon the books of the
Village by the registered owner in person or the
registered owner's attorney duly authorized in writing,
upon the surrender of this bond together with a
written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the
transfer agent, duly executed by the registered
owner or the registered owner's attorney duly authorized
in writing, and thereupon a new bond or bonds in
the same aggregate principal amount and of the same
maturity shall be issued to the transferee in exchange
therefor as provided in the Ordinance authorizing
the bonds, and upon payment of the charges, if any,
therein prescribed.
It
is hereby certified and recited that all acts, conditions
and things required by law to be done precedent
to and in the issuance of this bond and the series
of bonds of which this is one have been done and
performed in regular and due time and form as required
by law.

The
Issuer covenants and agrees with the holders of
the Bonds that so long as any of the Bonds remain
outstanding and unpaid as to either principal or
interest:
(a)
The Issuer will maintain the System in good repair
and working order and will operate the same efficiently
and will faithfully and punctually perform all duties
with reference to the System required by the Constitution
and laws of the State of Michigan, and this Ordinance.
(b)
The Issuer will keep proper books of record and
account separate from all other records and accounts
of the Issuer, in which shall be made full and correct
entries of all transactions relating to the System.
The Issuer shall have an annual audit of the books
of record and account of the System for the preceding
operating year made each year by an independent
certified public accountant, and a copy of the audit
shall be mailed to the manager of each syndicate
or account originally purchasing any issue of the
Bonds. The auditor shall comment on the manner in
which the Issuer is complying with the requirements
of the Ordinance with respect to setting aside and
investing moneys and meeting the requirements for
acquiring and maintaining insurance. The audit shall
be completed and so made available not later than
six (6) months after the close of each operating
year.
(c)
The Issuer will maintain and carry, for the benefit
of the holders of the Bonds, insurance on all physical
properties of the System and liability insurance,
of the kinds and in the amounts normally carried
by municipalities engaged in the operation of water
supply and sewage disposal systems, including self-insurance.
All moneys received for losses under any such insurance
policies shall be applied solely to the replacement
and restoration of the property damaged or destroyed,
and to the extent not so used, shall be used for
the purpose of redeeming or purchasing Bonds.
(d)
The Issuer will not sell, lease or dispose of the
System, or any substantial part, until all of the
Bonds have been paid in full, both as to principal
and interest or provision made thereof as herein
provided. The Issuer will operate the System as
economically as possible, will make all repairs

good repair and working order, and will not do or
suffer to be done any act which would affect the
System in such a way as to have a material adverse
effect on the security for the Bonds.
(e)

rights to any person, firm or corporation to operate
a System that will compete with the System and the
Issuer will not operate a system that will compete
with the System.

The Issuer will cause the Project to be acquired
and constructed promptly and in accordance with
the plans and specification therefor.
19.20
ADDITIONAL BONDS
Except
as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall not issue
additional Bonds of equal or prior standing with
the Series 2004 Bonds.
The
right is reserved in accordance with the provisions
of Act 94, to issue additional Bonds payable from
the Revenues of the System which shall be of equal
standing and priority of lien on the Net Revenues
of the System with the Series 2004 Bonds but only
for the following purposes and under the following
terms and conditions:
(a)
To complete the Project in accordance with the plans
and specifications therefor. Such bonds shall not
be authorized unless the engineers in charge of
construction shall execute a certificate evidencing
the fact that additional funds are needed to complete
the Project in accordance with the plans and specifications
therefor and stating the amount that will be required
to complete the Project. If such certificate shall
be so executed and filed with the Issuer, it shall
be the duty of the Issuer to provide for and issue
additional revenue bonds in the amount stated in
said certificate to be necessary to complete the
Project in accordance with the plans and specifications
plus an amount necessary to issue such bonds or
to provide for part or all of such amount from other
sources.
(b)
For subsequent repairs, extensions, enlargements
and improvements to the System or for the purpose
of refunding part of any Bonds then outstanding
and paying costs of issuing such additional Bonds
including deposits which may be required to be made
to the Bond Reserve Account. Bonds for such purposes
shall not be issued pursuant to this subparagraph
(b) unless the Adjusted Net Revenues of the System
for the preceding twelve-month operating year shall
be equal to at least one hundred percent (100%)
of the maximum amount of principal and interest
thereafter maturing in any operating year on the
then outstanding Bonds and on the additional Bonds
then being issued. If the additional Bonds are to
be issued in whole or in part for refunding outstanding
Bonds, the annual principal and interest requirements
shall be determined by deducting from the principal
and interest requirements for each operating year
the annual principal and interest requirements of
any Bonds to be refunded from the proceeds of the
additional Bonds. For purposes of this subparagraph
(b) the Issuer may elect to use as the last preceding
operating year any operating year ending not more
than sixteen months prior to the date of delivery
of the additional Bonds. Determination by the Issuer
as to existence of conditions permitting the issuance
of additional Bonds shall be conclusive. No additional
Bonds of equal standing as to the Net Revenues of
the System shall be issued pursuant to the authorization
contained in this subparagraph if the Issuer shall
then be in default in making its required payments
to the Operation and Maintenance Account or the
Redemption Account.
(c)
For refunding a part of the outstanding Bonds and
paying costs of issuing such additional Bonds including
deposits which may be required to be made to the
Bond Reserve Account. No additional Bonds shall
be issued pursuant to this subsection unless the
maximum amount of principal and interest maturing
in any operating year after giving effect to the
refunding shall be less than the maximum amount
of principal and interest maturing in any operating
year prior to giving effect to the refunding.
