the Revenue Fund to the Operation and Maintenance Fund, the Special Redemption
Fund, the Reserve Fund, the Depreciation Fund and the Surplus Fund shall be made
monthly not later than the last day of each month, and such transfer shall be applicable

Bonds, the Series 2000 Bonds, the Bonds and any Parity Bonds as the same accrues
and the principal thereof as the same matures.
Section 8. Deposits and Investments. The Debt Service Fund shall be kept
apart from monies in the other Funds and Accounts and the same shall be used for no
purpose other than the prompt payment of principal of and interest on the Series 1998

special and segregated accounts in a public depository selected under Chapter 34 of

The other funds herein created (except the Water System SDWLP Project Fund) may
be combined in a single account in a public depository selected in the manner set forth
above and may be temporarily invested until needed in legal investments subject to the
provisions of Section 66.04(2) of the Wisconsin Statutes.
Section 9. Service to the Municipality. The reasonable cost and value of
services rendered to the Municipality by the System by furnishing water services for
public purposes shall be charged against the Municipality and shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be paid in monthly installments as the service accrues, out of the
current revenues of the Municipality collected or in the process of collection, exclusive
of the revenues derived from the System; that is to say, out of the tax levy of the
Municipality made by it to raise money to meet its necessary current expenses. The
reasonable cost and value of such service to the Municipality in each year shall be
equal to an amount which, together with other revenues of the System, will produce in
each Bond Year Net Revenues equivalent to not less than the annual principal and
interest requirements on the Senior Bonds, any Additional Senior Bonds, the Prior
Bonds, the Series 1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds, the Series 2000 Bonds, the
Bonds, any Parity Bonds, and any other debt obligations payable from the revenues of
the System then outstanding, times the greater of (i) 120%, as long as the Senior Bonds
or any Additional Senior Bonds are outstanding; 110% after the Senior Bonds and any
Additional Senior Bonds have been discharged, or (ii) the highest debt service coverage
ratio required with respect to any debt obligations payable from the revenues of the
System then outstanding. However, such payment out of the tax levy shall be subject to
(a) approval of the Public Service Commission, or successors to its function, if
applicable, (b) yearly appropriations therefor, and (c) applicable levy limitations, if any;
but neither this Resolution nor such payment shall be construed as constituting an
obligation of the Municipality to make any such appropriation over and above the
reasonable cost and value of the services rendered to the Municipality and its
inhabitants or to make any subsequent payment over and above such reasonable cost
and value.
Section 10. Operation of System; Municipality Covenants. It is covenanted and
agreed by the Municipality with the owner or owners of the Bonds, and each of them,
that the Municipality will perform all of the obligations as set forth in the Financial
Assistance Agreement.
Section 11. Additional Bonds.
(a) General. The Bonds are junior and subordinate to the Senior Bonds, any
Additional Senior Bonds and the Prior Bonds. The Bonds are issued on a parity with
the Series 1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds and the Series 2000 Bonds. No bonds
or obligations payable out of the revenues of the System may be issued in such manner
as to enjoy priority over the Bonds, except as hereinafter provided. Additional
obligations may be issued if the lien and pledge is junior and subordinate to that of the
Bonds.
(b) Additional Senior Bonds. The Municipality may issue obligations payable
from the revenues of the System in such a manner as to enjoy priority over the Bonds or
any Parity Bonds (the "Additional Senior Bonds'l, subject to the Senior Resolution,
provided that all of the following conditions are met:
(1) The Net Revenues of the System for the Fiscal Year immediately
preceding the issuance of such Additional Senior Bonds must have been in an
amount at least equal to the maximum annual interest and principal requirements
on all obligations outstanding payable from the revenues of the System, and on
the Additional Senior Bonds then to be issued, times the greater of (i) 110%, or
(ii) the highest debt service coverage ratio required with respect to any of the
Municipality's obligations payable from the revenues of the System. Should an
increase in permanent rates and charges, including those made to the
Municipality, be properly ordered and made effective during the Fiscal Year
immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Senior Bonds or during that
part of the Fiscal Year of issuance prior to such issuance, then Net Revenues for
purposes of such computation shall include such additional revenues as an
independent certified public accountant, consulting professional engineer or the
Wisconsin Public Service Commission may certify would have accrued during the
prior Fiscal Year had the new rates been in effect during that entire prior Fiscal
Year.
(2) Upon such issuance, the rating classification of the Additional
Senior Bonds would be confirmed by a publicly released municipal rating (without
regard to municipal bond insurance or other credit enhancement) of the "A"
quality investment group, or better, as assigned by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc., or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a Division of The McGraw-Hill
Companies, Inc., or a similar nationally recognized rating agency.
(3) The payments required to be made into the funds enumerated in
Section 6 of this Resolution must have been made in full.
(4) The proceeds of the Additional Senior Bonds must be used only for
the purpose of providing extensions or improvements to the System, or to refund
obligations issued for such purpose.
If at any time any of the foregoing conditions is not satisfied, then no obligations
payable from revenues of the System may be issued in such a manner as to enjoy
priority over the Series 1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds, the Series 2000 Bonds, the
Bonds or any Parity Bonds, until such conditions are again satisfied.
(c) Parity Bonds. Parity Bonds may be issued only under the following
circumstances:
(1) Additional Parity Bonds may be issued for the purpose of
completing the Project and for the purpose of financing costs of the Project which
are ineligible for payment under the State of Wisconsin Safe Drinking Water Loan
Program. However, such additional Parity Bonds shall be in an aggregate
amount not to exceed 20% of the face amount of the Bonds; or
(2) Additional Parity Bonds may also be issued if all of the following
conditions are met:
(A) The Net Revenues of the System for the Fiscal Year
immediately preceding the issuance of such additional bonds must have
been in an amount at least equal to the maximum annual interest and
principal requirements on all bonds outstanding payable from the
revenues of the System, and on the bonds then to be issued, times the
greater of (i) 1.20 as along as any Senior Bonds or any Additional Senior
Bonds, or 1.10 after the Senior Bonds and any Additional Senior Bonds
have been discharged, or (ii) the highest debt service coverage ratio to be
required with respect to the additional Parity Bonds then to be issued or
on any debt obligations payable from the revenues of the System then
outstanding. Should an increase in permanent rates and charges,
including those made to the Municipality, be properly ordered and made
effective during the Fiscal Year immediately prior to the issuance of such
additional Parity Bonds or during that part of the Fiscal Year of issuance
prior to such issuance, then Net Revenues for purposes of such
computation shall include such additional revenues as an independent
certified public accountant, consulting professional engineer or the
Wisconsin Public Service Commission may certify would have accrued
during the prior Fiscal Year had the new rates been in effect during that
entire immediately prior Fiscal Year.
(B) The payments required to be made into the Funds and
Accounts enumerated in Section 6 of this Resolution must have been
made in full.
(C) The additional Parity Bonds must have principal maturing on
May 1 of each year and interest falling due on May 1 and November 1 of
each year.
(D) The proceeds of the additional Parity Bonds must be used
only for the purpose of providing extensions or improvements to the
System, or to refund obligations issued for such purpose.
Section 12. Sale of Bonds. The sale of the Bonds to the State of Wisconsin Safe
Drinking Water Loan Program for the purchase price of up to $4,567,548, and at par, is
ratified and confirmed; and the officers of the Municipality are authorized and directed to
do any and all acts, including executing the Financial Assistance Agreement and the
Bonds as herein above provided, necessary to conclude delivery of the Bonds to said
purchaser, as soon after adoption of this Resolution as is convenient. The purchase
price for the Bonds shall be paid upon requisition therefor as provided in the Financial
Assistance Agreement.
Section 13. Application of Bond Proceeds; Arbitrage; Registered Form. The
proceeds of the sale of the Bonds shall be deposited by the Municipality into a special
fund designated as "Water System SDWLP Project Fund." The Water System SDWLP
Project Fund shall be used solely for the purpose of refunding a portion of the Prior
Bonds as more fully described in the preamble hereof and in the Financial Assistance
Agreement. Moneys in the Water System SDWLP Project Fund shall be disbursed
within three (3) business days of their receipt from the State of Wisconsin and shall not
be invested in any interest-bearing account.
The Municipality recognizes that the purchasers and owners of the Bonds will
have accepted them on, and paid therefor a price which reflects, the understanding that
interest thereon is exempt from Federal income taxation under laws in force at the time
the Bonds shall have been delivered. In that connection the Municipality agrees that it
shall take no action which may render the interest on any of the Bonds subject to
Federal income taxation. The City Manager, the City Clerk or the Finance Director of
the Municipality, or any of them, are hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the
purchasers and owners of the Bonds or certificate and agreement with respect to
arbitrage (the "No Arbitrage Certificate'~ to assure the purchasers and owners of the
Bonds that the proceeds of the Bonds are not expected to be used in a manner which
would or might result in the Bonds being "arbitrage bonds" under Section 148 of the
Code or the regulations of the United States Treasury Department with respect thereto
currently in effect or proposed. Such No Arbitrage Certificate shall constitute a
representation and certification of the Municipality and no investment of Bond proceeds
or of moneys accumulated to pay the Bonds herein authorized shall be made in
violation of the expectations prescribed by the No Arbitrage Certificate.
The Municipality further recognizes that the Code currently requires the Bonds to
be issued and to remain in fully registered form in order that interest thereon is exempt
from Federal income taxation under laws in force at the time the Bonds are delivered.
In this connection, the Municipality agrees that it will not take any action to permit the
Bonds to be issued in, or converted into, bearer or coupon form unless the Code is
modified to permit such action.
Section 14. Amendment to Resolution. After the issuance of any of the Bonds,
no change or alteration of any kind in the provisions of this Resolution may be made
until all of the Bonds have been paid in full as to both principal and interest, or
discharged as herein provided, except: (a) the Municipality may, from to time, amend
this Resolution without the consent of any of the owners of the Bonds, but only to cure
any ambiguity, administrative conflict, formal defect, or omission or procedural
inconsistency of this Resolution; and (b) this Resolution may be amended, in any
respect, with a written consent of the owners of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the
principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, exclusive of Bonds held by the
Municipality; provided, however, that no amendment shall permit any change in the
pledge of revenues derived from the System or the maturity of any Bond issued
hereunder, or a reduction in the rate of interest on any Bond, or in the amount of the
principal obligation thereof, or in the amount of the redemption premium payable in the
case of redemption thereof, or change the terms upon which the Bonds may be
redeemed or make any other modification in the terms of the payment of such principal
or interest without the written consent of the owner of each such Bond to which the
change is applicable.
Section 15. Defeasance. When all Bonds have been discharged, all pledges,
covenants and other rights granted to the owners thereof by this Resolution shall cease.
The Municipality may discharge all Bonds due on any date by irrevocably depositing in
escrow with a suitable bank or trust company a sum of cash and/or bonds or securities
issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, or by a
commission, board or other instrumentality of the U.S. Government, maturing on the
dates and bearing interest at the rates required to provide funds sufficient to pay when
due the interest to accrue on each of said Bonds to its maturity or, at the Municipality's
option, if said Bond is prepayable to any prior date upon which it may be called for
redemption, and to pay and redeem the principal amount of each such Bond at maturity,
or at the Municipality's option, if said Bond is prepayable, at its earliest redemption date,
with the premium required for such redemption, if any, provided that notice of the
redemption of all prepayable Bonds on such date has been duly given or provided for.
Section 16. Rebate Fund. The Municipality shall establish and maintain, so long
as the Series 1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds, the Series 2000 Bonds, the Bonds
and any Parity Bonds are outstanding, a separate account to be known as the "Rebate
Fund." The Rebate Fund is for the sole purpose of paying rebate to the United States of
America, if any, on amounts of Bond proceeds held by the Municipality. The
Municipality hereby covenants and agrees that it shall pay from the Rebate Fund the
rebate amounts as determined herein to the United States of America.
The Municipality may engage the services of accountants, attorneys or other
consultants necessary to assist it in determining rebate amounts.
The rebate amounts are equal to the sum of the following, calculated solely with
respect to amounts of the Bonds held by the Municipality:
(i) The excess of
(a) the aggregate amounts earned from the date of issuance and
delivery of the Series 1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds, the Series 2000
Bonds, the Bonds and any Parity Bonds on all nonpurpose obligations in which
gross proceeds of the Series 1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds, the
Series 2000 Bonds, the Bonds and any Parity Bonds have been invested (other
than nonpurpose obligations attributable to an excess described herein) over
(b) the aggregate amounts which would have been earned if the yield
on such nonpurpose obligations (other than nonpurpose obligations attributable
to an excess described herein) had been equal to the yield on the Series 1998
Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds, the Series 2000 Bonds, the Bonds and any Parity
Bonds, plus
(ii) any income attributable to the excess described in clause (i) above.
The rebate amounts payable to the United States shall be determined on or prior
to the end of the fifth (5th) Bond Year of the Series 1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds,
the Series 2000 Bonds, the Bonds or any Parity Bonds and the fifth (5th) anniversary of
such date by the Municipality for each Bond Year during which the Series 1998 Bonds,
the Series 1999 Bonds, the Bonds and any Parity Bonds remain outstanding and upon
retirement of the Series 1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds, the Series 2000 Bonds,
the Bonds and any Parity Bonds. Such rebate amounts shall be deposited in the
Rebate Fund. The rebate amounts shall be paid to the United States in installments, as
follows:
(I) subject to clause (111) below, the first such installment shall be paid
no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the fifth (5th) Bond Year of the
Series 1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds, the Series 2000 Bonds, the Bonds
and any Parity Bonds;
(11) subject to clause (111) below, an additional installment shall be paid
on or prior to the last day of each additional installment payment period during
which the Series 1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds, the Series 2000 Bonds,
the Bonds and any Parity Bonds remain outstanding. For purposes of this clause
(11), an installment payment period shall commence on the last day on which a
preceding installment of the rebate amount was required to be paid, and shall
end on the day preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary of such payment date;
(111) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the last installment
shall be paid no later than sixty (60) days after the Series 1998 Bonds, the Series
1999 Bonds, the Series 2000 Bonds, the Bonds and any Parity Bonds have been
retired and
IV) each installment shall be in an amount which, when aggregated
with the amount of any prior installments paid to the United States hereunder, will
equal at least ninety percent (90%) of the total rebate amount payable to the
United States hereunder as of the date such installment is paid; provided,
however, that the last installment shall be in an amount equal to the entire
remaining balance of the rebate amount payable to the United States hereunder.
Amounts held in the Rebate Fund and the investment income therefrom are not
pledged as security for the Series 1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds, the Series 2000
Bonds, the Bonds and any Parity Bonds and may only be used to pay amounts to the
United States.
The Municipality shall maintain or cause to be maintained records of such
determinations for each Bond Year until six (6) years after payment in full of the Series
1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds, the Series 2000 Bonds, the Bonds and any Parity
Bonds and shall make such records available upon reasonable request therefor.
The Municipality hereby agrees it will disburse all monies in the Rebate Fund to
the United States of America at the times and in the manner set forth in the applicable
income tax regulations.
Section 17. Resolution a Contract. The provisions of this Resolution shall
constitute a contract between the Municipality and the owner or owners of the Bonds,
and after issuance of any of the Bonds no change or alteration of any kind in the
provisions of this Resolution may be made, except as provided in Section 14 hereof,
until all of the Bonds have been paid in full as to both principal and interest. The owner
or owners of any of the Bonds shall have the right in addition to all other rights, by
mandamus or other suit or action in any court of competent jurisdiction, to enforce such
owner's or owners' rights against the Municipality, the Governing Body, and any and all
officers and agents thereof including, but without limitation, the right to require the
Municipality, its Governing Body and any other authorized body, to fix and collect rates
and charges fully adequate to carry out all of the provisions and agreements contained
in this Resolution.
Section ~8. Continuing Disclosure. The officers of the Municipality are hereby
authorized and directed, if requested by the State, to provide to the State of Wisconsin
Safe Drinking Water Loan Program (the "SDWLP') and to such other persons or entities
as directed by the SDWLP such ongoing disclosure regarding the Municipality's
financial condition and other matters, at such times and in such manner as the SDWLP
may require, in order that securities issued by the Municipality and the SDWLP satisfy
rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or may be amended from time to
time, imposed on brokers and dealers of municipal securities before the brokers and
dealers may buy, sell, or recommend the purchase of such securities.
Section 19. Conflicting Resolutions. All ordinances, resolutions (other than the
Senior Resolution, the Prior Bond Resolution, the Series 1998 Resolution, the
Series 1999 Resolution and the Series 2000 Bonds), or orders, or parts thereof
heretofore enacted, adopted or entered, in conflict with the provisions of this Resolution,
are hereby repealed, and this Resolution shall be in effect from and after its passage.
In case of any conflict between this Resolution and the Senior Resolution, the
Prior Bond Resolution, the Series 1998 Resolution, the Series 1999 Resolution or the
Series 2000 Resolution, the Senior Resolution, the Prior Bond Resolution or, on a
subordinate basis, the Series 1998 Resolution, the Series 1999 Resolution or the
Series 2000 Resolution shall control as long as the Senior Bonds, any Additional Senior
Bonds, the Prior Bonds, the Series 1998 Bonds, the Series 1999 Bonds and the
Series 2000 Bonds are outstanding.
Section 20. Carl of Prior Bonds. The officers of the Municipality are authorized
and directed to call the portion of the Prior Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of
$4,567,548 (when additional advances on the Bonds are made) for prior payment on
the earliest date(s) on which they can be redeemed and refunded with proceeds of the
