any, on each Series 2005-C Bond shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of
such Series 2005-C Bond at the designated office of the Paying Agent in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.
Section 6.Prior Redemption of Series 2005-C Bonds. The Series 2005-C Bonds
coming due on and after May 1, 2016, shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the
option of the Municipality, from any available funds, in whole or in part, on May 1, 2015, and
on any date thereafter, and if in part in such order as the Municipality may determine and, if
less than a single maturity is redeemed, in integral multiples of $5,000, selected by lot by
the Bond Registrar as hereinafter provided, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal
amount thereof being redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.
Section 7.Redemption Procedure. For redemptions at the option of the
Municipality, the Municipality shall, at least forty-five (45) days prior to the date fixed for
redemption (unless a shorter time period shall be satisfactory to the Bond Registrar), notify
the Bond Registrar of such date fixed for redemption and of the principal amount of the
Series 2005-C Bonds to be redeemed. For purposes of any redemption of less than all of
the Series 2005-C Bonds of a single maturity, if the Series 2005-C Bonds are not held by a
single registered owner, the particular Series 2005-C Bonds or portions of Series 2005-C
Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by such method as the Bond Registrar shall deem
fair and appropriate, and which shall provide for the selection for redemption of Series
2005-C Bonds or portions thereof in principal amounts of $5,000 and integral multiples
thereof.
The Bond Registrar shall promptly notify the Municipality in writing of the Series
2005-C Bonds or portions of Series 2005-C Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case
of any Series 2005-C Bond selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to
be redeemed.
Unless waived by the registered owner of the Series 2005-C Bonds to be redeemed,
official notice of any such redemption shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of the
Municipality by mailing the redemption notice by first class mail not less than thirty (30) days
prior to the date fixed for redemption to each registered owner of the Series 2005-C Bond or
Series 2005-C Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond Register or at
such other address as is furnished in writing by such registered owner to the Bond
Registrar. Failure to give such notice by mailing to any owner of any Series 2005-C Bond,
or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of
any other Series 2005-C Bonds.
All official notices of redemption shall include the name of the Series 2005-C Bonds
to be redeemed and include at least the information as follows:
(1)the dated fixed for redemption;
(2)the redemption price;
(3)if less than all of the Series 2005-C Bonds of a single maturity are to be
redeemed, the identification, including CUSIP numbers (and, in the case of partial
redemption of any Series 2005-C Bonds, the respective principal amounts) of the
Series 2005-C Bonds to be redeemed;
(4)a statement that on the date fixed for redemption the redemption price
will become due and payable upon each such Series 2005-C Bond or portion thereof
called for redemption and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after
said date; and
(5)the place where such Series 2005-C Bonds are to be surrendered for
payment of the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the principal
corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar.
Prior to any dated fixed for redemption, the Municipality shall have on deposit with
the Bond Registrar an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the
Series 2005-C Bonds or portions of Series 2005-C Bonds which are to be redeemed on that
date. With respect to an optional redemption of any Series 2005-C Bonds, unless moneys
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Series 2005-C Bonds to be redeemed
shall have been received by the Paying Agent prior to the giving of such notice of
redemption, such notice may, at the option of the Municipality, state that said redemption
shall be conditional upon the receipt of such moneys by the Registrar on or prior to the date
fixed for redemption. If such moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force and
effect, the Municipality shall not redeem such Series 2005-C Bonds and the Bond Registrar
shall give notice, in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such
moneys were not so received and that such Series 2005-C Bonds will not be redeemed.
Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Series 2005-C Bonds or
portions of Series 2005-C Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the date fixed for redemption,
become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from and after such
date (unless the Municipality shall default in the payment of the redemption price), such
Series 2005-C Bonds or portions of Series 2005-C Bonds shall cease to bear interest.
Neither the failure to mail such redemption notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to
any particular registered owner, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to the
other Series 2005-C Bonds to be redeemed. Notice having been properly given, failure of a
registered owner to receive such notice shall not be deemed to invalidate, limit or delay the
effect of the notice or redemption action described in the notice. Such notice may be
waived in writing by the registered owner entitled to receive such notice, either before or
after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by
registered owners shall be filed with the Bond Registrar, but such filing shall not be a
condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
Upon surrender of such Series 2005-C Bonds for redemption in accordance with said
notice, such Series 2005-C Bonds shall be paid by the Bond Registrar at the redemption
price. The procedure for the payment of the interest due on or prior to the date fixed for
redemption shall be as herein provided for the payment of interest otherwise due. Upon
surrender for any partial redemption of any Series 2005-C Bond, there shall be prepared for
the registered owner a new Series 2005-C Bond or Series 2005-C Bonds of like tenor, of
authorized denominations, of the same maturity and bearing the same rate of interest in the
amount of the unpaid principal. If any Series 2005-C Bond or portion of a Series 2005-C
Bond called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the
principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for
redemption at the rate borne by the Series 2005-C Bond or portion of a Series 2005-C Bond
so called for redemption. All Series 2005-C Bonds which have been redeemed shall be
cancelled and destroyed by the Bond Registrar, and shall not be reissued.
In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice of redemption (the “Additional
Redemption Notice”) shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of the Municipality as
set out below, but no defect in said Additional Redemption Notice nor any failure to give all
or any portion of such Additional Redemption Notice shall in any manner invalidate, limit or
delay the redemption action if notice thereof is given as above prescribed.
Each Additional Redemption Notice given hereunder shall contain the information
required above for an official notice of redemption plus (i) the CUSIP numbers of all Series
2005-C Bonds being redeemed; (ii) the date of issuance of the Series 2005-C Bonds as
originally issued; (iii) the rate of interest borne by each Series 2005-C Bond being
redeemed; (iv) the maturity date of each Series 2005-C Bond being redeemed; and (v) any
other descriptive information needed to identify accurately the Series 2005-C Bonds being
redeemed.
Each Additional Redemption Notice shall be sent at least thirty-five (35) days before
the date fixed for redemption by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or overnight
delivery service to all registered securities depositories then in the business of holding
substantial amounts of obligations of the types comprising the Series 2005-C Bonds
(including The Depository Trust Company of New York, New York) and to at least two (2)
national information services, chosen in the discretion of the Bond Registrar, that
disseminate notice of redemption of obligations such as the Series 2005-C Bonds.
Each such further notice may be published one time in a financial newspaper or
journal which regularly carries notices of redemption of other obligations similar to the
Series 2005-C Bonds, such publication to be made at least thirty (30) days prior to the date
fixed for redemption.
Upon the payment of the redemption price of the Series 2005-C Bonds being
redeemed, each check or other transfer of funds issued for such purpose shall bear the
CUSIP number identifying, by issue and maturity, the Series 2005-C Bonds being redeemed
with the proceeds of such check or other transfer.
Section 8.Execution; Authentication. The Series 2005-C Bonds shall be executed
on behalf of the Municipality with the manual or facsimile signature of its City Manager and
attested with the manual or facsimile signature of its City Clerk, and shall have impressed or
imprinted thereon the official seal of the Municipality or a facsimile thereof. In case any
officer whose signature shall appear on any Series 2005-C Bond shall cease to be such
officer before the delivery of such Series 2005-C Bond, such signature shall nevertheless be
valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until
delivery.
All Series 2005-C Bonds shall have thereon a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form hereinafter set forth duly executed by the Bond Registrar as
authenticating agent of the Municipality and showing the date of authentication. No Series
2005-C Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or
benefit under this Resolution unless and until such certificate of authentication shall have
been duly executed by the Bond Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication upon any such Series 2005-C Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such
Series 2005-C Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. The
certificate of authentication on any Series 2005-C Bond shall be deemed to have been duly
executed if signed by an authorized officer of the Bond Registrar, but it shall not be
necessary that the same officer sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Series
2005-C Bonds issued under this Resolution.
Section 9.Registration of Series 2005-C Bonds; Persons Treated as Owners. The
Municipality shall cause the Bond Register for the registration and for the transfer of the
Series 2005-C Bonds as provided in this Resolution to be kept at the designated office of
the Bond Registrar, which is hereby constituted and appointed the registrar and paying
agent of the Municipality, and the Bond Registrar shall agree to so act. The Municipality is
authorized to prepare, and the Bond Registrar shall keep custody of, multiple Series 2005-C
Bond blanks executed by the Municipality for use in the transfer and exchange of the Series
2005-C Bonds.
Upon surrender for transfer of any Series 2005-C Bond at the designated office of the
Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar and duly executed by, the Registered
Owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing, the Municipality shall execute and the Bond
Registrar shall authenticate, date and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a
new fully registered Series 2005-C Bond or Series 2005-C Bonds of the same series,
maturity and interest rate of authorized denominations, for a like aggregate principal
amount. Any fully registered Series 2005-C Bond or Series 2005-C Bonds may be
exchanged at said office of the Bond Registrar for a like aggregate principal amount of
Series 2005-C Bonds of the same series, maturity and interest rate of other authorized
denominations. The execution by the Municipality of any fully registered Series 2005-C
Bond shall constitute full and due authorization of such Series 2005-C Bond, and the Bond
Registrar shall thereby be authorized to authenticate, date and deliver such Series 2005-C
Bond; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Series 2005-C
Bonds of each maturity authenticated by the Bond Registrar shall not exceed the authorized
aggregate principal amount of Series 2005-C Bonds for such maturity, less previous
retirements.
The Bond Registrar may transfer or exchange, but shall not be required to transfer or
exchange, any Series 2005-C Bond during the period of fifteen (15) days next preceding
any interest payment date on the Series 2005-C Bonds, nor to transfer or exchange any
Series 2005-C Bond after notice calling such Series 2005-C Bond for redemption prior to
maturity has been mailed nor during the period of fifteen (15) days next preceding the
mailing of a notice of the redemption of any Series 2005-C Bonds.
The person in whose name any Series 2005-C Bond shall be registered shall be
deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and the payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Series 2005-C Bond shall be made only
to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or his legal representative. All such
payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Series
2005-C Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of the Series 2005-C
Bonds, but the Municipality or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of the Series 2005-C Bonds, except in the case of the issuance of a
Series 2005-C Bond or Series 2005-C Bonds for the unredeemed portion of a Series
2005-C Bond surrendered for redemption.
Section 10.Bonds Payable Solely from Revenues. The Bonds, together with the
premium, if any, interest thereon, shall be special, limited obligations of the Municipality,
payable only out of Revenues deposited into the Special Redemption Fund hereinafter
created, and shall be a valid claim of the owners thereof only against the Special
Redemption Fund and from the Revenues pledged to the Special Redemption Fund, and
sufficient Revenues are hereby pledged to the Special Redemption Fund, and shall be used
for no purpose other than to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
as the same fall due.
Section 11.Form of Series 2005-C Bonds. The Series 2005-C Bonds, the certificate
of authentication to be endorsed thereon and the form of assignment are all to be in
substantially the following forms with necessary and appropriate variations, omissions and
insertions as permitted or required by this Resolution:

TORM ATER TILITY EVENUE ONDERIES
This Bond is one of an authorized issue of Storm Water Utility Revenue Bonds,
Series 2005-C, aggregating the principal amount of $4,820,000 (the “Series 2005-C
Bonds”), and has been issued under Section 66.0621, Wisconsin Statutes, as
supplemented and amended (the “Act”), for the purpose of paying a portion of the cost of
financing certain improvements to the storm water facilities of the Municipality (the “Utility”),
and is payable only from the revenues to be derived from the operation of the storm water
utility of the Municipality (the “Utility”), which revenues have been set aside as a special fund
for that purpose and identified as the “Special Redemption Fund.” This Bond is issued
pursuant to the Act and a resolution adopted by the City Council of the Municipality on April
12, 2005 (the “Bond Resolution”), is payable solely from the Special Redemption Fund, and
does not constitute an indebtedness of the Municipality within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory limitation or provision. Under the Bond Resolution, additional
bonds may be issued by the Issuer on a parity with the Series 2005-C Bonds (the “Parity
Bonds”) and, together with the Series 2005-C Bonds, the “Bonds”) having a lien on said
revenues equal to the lien with respect to the Series 2005-C Bonds, and rank pari passu
with the Series 2005-C Bonds. Reference is hereby made to the Bond Resolution for a
more complete statement of the revenues from which and conditions under which this Bond
is payable, a statement of the conditions on which obligations may hereafter be issued on a
parity with this Bond, the general covenants and provisions pursuant to which this Bond has
been issued, and the manner in which the Bond Resolution may be modified.
This Bond is transferable by the Registered Owner hereof in person or by his
attorney duly authorized in writing at the designated office of the Bond Registrar in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment
of the charges provided in the Bond Resolution, and upon surrender and cancellation of this
Bond. Upon such transfer a new Series 2005-C Bond or Series 2005-C Bonds of
authorized denominations of the same series, maturity and interest rate, and for the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange for this Bond.
The Series 2005-C Bonds of the issue of which this Bond is one are issued in fully
registered form in the denomination of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof. This
Bond may be exchanged at the designated office of the Bond Registrar for a like aggregate
principal amount of Series 2005-C Bonds of the same series, maturity and interest rate of
other authorized denominations, upon the terms set forth in the Bond Resolution.
The Municipality and the Bond Registrar may deem and treat the Registered Owner
hereof as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account
of the principal hereof and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the
Municipality nor the Bond Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Series 2005-C Bonds of the issue of which this Bond is one maturing on and
after May 1, 2016, are subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the
Municipality, from any available funds, as a whole or in part, on May 1, 2015, and on any
date thereafter, and if in part in such order of maturity as the Municipality may determine,
and if less than an entire maturity is redeemed, in integral multiples of $5,000, selected by
the Bond Registrar, as provided in the Bond Resolution, in such manner as it shall deem fair
and appropriate, at the redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof being
redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.
The Series 2005-C Bonds are also subject to extraordinary optional redemption by
the Municipality, from the proceeds of the sale of the Utility, together with all other Bonds
then outstanding, as a whole, on any date, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof being redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption.
Notice of any intended redemption shall be sent by first class mail, postage prepaid,
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the registered owner of
each Series 2005-C Bond to be redeemed (in whole or in part) at the address shown on the
registration books of the Municipality maintained by the Bond Registrar or at such other
address as is furnished in writing by such registered owner to the Bond Registrar. Such
notice of redemption may be conditional as provided in the Bond Resolution. When so
called for redemption, this Bond, or the portion hereof being so called for redemption, will
cease to bear interest on the specified redemption date, provided funds for redemption are
on deposit at the place of payment on that date, and shall not be deemed to be outstanding.

(a)the Storm Water Utility Revenue Fund (the “Revenue Fund”), into which
the Revenues of the Utility shall be deposited, as received;
(b)the Storm Water Utility Operation and Maintenance Fund (the “Operation
and Maintenance Fund”), which shall be used for the payment of the Operation and
Maintenance Expenses. Balances in the Operation and Maintenance Fund shall also
be used whenever necessary for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds at any time when there shall be insufficient money for such
purposes in the Special Redemption Fund.
(c)the Storm Water Utility Special Redemption Fund (the “Special
Redemption Fund”) which shall be divided into two accounts to be known as the
“Interest and Principal Account” and the “Reserve Account”:
(i)the Interest and Principal Account, which shall be considered a
sinking fund, shall be used solely for the purpose of paying the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds at maturity or upon mandatory
sinking fund redemption, if any, in accordance with the provisions of this
Resolution.
(ii)the Reserve Account, which shall be used for the purpose of paying
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, at maturity or upon
mandatory sinking fund redemption, if any, at any time when there shall be
insufficient money for such purpose in the Interest and Principal Account.
(d)the Storm Water Utility Renewal and Replacement Fund (the “Renewal
and Replacement Fund”), which shall be used in the following manner and order of
priority to pay:
(i)the construction or acquisition of renewals, replacements and
improvements to the Utility, the costs of extraordinary maintenance, necessary
repairs and replacements and expansion for which no other moneys of the
Utility are available in order that the Utility at all times is able to serve the
needs of the Municipality;
(ii)the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds in the
event other legally available moneys of the Utility are insufficient therefor;
(iii)maintenance of the required balance in the Reserve Account; and
(iv)extraordinary casualty claims against the Utility;
(v)the Operation and Maintenance Expenses of the Utility.
(e)the Storm Water Utility Surplus Fund (“Surplus Fund”) to which all
moneys remaining in the Revenue Fund after the monthly requirements hereinafter
set forth have been satisfied may be deposited. Moneys in the Surplus Fund shall be
applied in the following order of priority for:
(i)the elimination at any time of any deficiency in the funds and
accounts listed above;
(ii)the payment of subordinated debt (in which case appropriate sub-
accounts shall be created in the Surplus Fund for the payment of principal,
premium, if any, interest and debt service reserves);
(iii)payments to the Municipality in lieu of the payment of property
taxes;
(iv)the transfer of additional amounts to any of the accounts listed
above;
(v)solely at the option of the Municipality, the purchase of Bonds in the
open market at a price not exceeding the then applicable redemption price of
such Bonds; and
(vi)transfer to any other fund or account of the Municipality to be
applied to any lawful corporate purpose.
(b)Uninvested money in the Revenue Fund and the various funds and accounts
hereinabove created may be kept as demand deposits with such bank or banks as may be
designated from time to time by the Municipality as public depositories under the laws of the
State of Wisconsin. The Special Redemption Fund shall be deposited in a separate bank
account, but the other funds and accounts herein created may be combined in a single bank
account with the Revenue Fund. All of said deposits shall be secured to the fullest extent
required by any appropriate resolution adopted by the City Council of the Municipality or
permitted by the laws of the State of Wisconsin. Deposits in excess of the amount insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation shall be secured by a surety bond written by
a solvent surety or by pledge of direct obligations of the United States of America.
Money in the Revenue Fund, the Operation and Maintenance Fund, the Special
Redemption Fund, the Renewal and Replacement Fund and the Surplus Fund shall be
invested, to the extent permitted by Wisconsin law, only in (i) direct obligations of the United
States of America, (ii) obligations guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States
of America, (iii) the Wisconsin local government pooled investment fund, or (iv) any other
investment permitted by the laws of the State of Wisconsin. All of such investments shall
mature at such time or times as it is determined that funds will be needed to make the
payments and deposits required by this Resolution or to provide for the current expenses of
operating and maintaining the Utility, but in no event not later than five (5) years from the
date of such investment.
All income from investments of moneys in the Reserve Account shall be retained in
the Reserve Account until the balance on deposit therein is equal to the Debt Service
Reserve Requirement, as hereinafter provided. All income from investments of money in all
other funds and accounts and from investments of the Reserve Account after the balance
therein is equal to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement, shall be deposited in the
Revenue Fund. Investment income earned on the funds and accounts created herein shall
be included in the Revenues of the Utility. Investments in all funds and accounts shall be
liquidated at any time when it shall be necessary to do so to provide money for any of the
purposes for which such funds and accounts were created.
Section 13.Application of Revenue. From and after the delivery of the Series
2005-C Bonds and while any of the Bonds shall be outstanding or until there shall be on
deposit in the Special Redemption Fund, or there has been deposited in an irrevocable
trust, an amount sufficient to provide for the payment of the principal of all such outstanding
Bonds, premium, if any, and interest thereon to maturity or the date fixed for redemption, the
Revenues of the Utility shall be deposited as collected in the Revenue Fund, and applied
only for the purposes set out in this Resolution.
Transfers from the Revenue Fund to the various funds and accounts herein created
shall be made in the order of the funds and accounts listed in Section 12 hereof on or before
the twentieth (20th) day of each calendar month or, if the twentieth (20th) day of the
calendar month shall not be a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day,
and such transfers shall be determined with respect to money on deposit in the Revenue
Fund as of the last day of the preceding month.
It is the express intent and determination of the City Council of the Municipality that
the amount of money to be deposited in the Special Redemption Fund shall in all events be
sufficient to pay the interest on the Bonds as the same accrues and to retire the Bonds at
maturity or upon redemption prior to maturity, and to provide the monthly amounts payable
into the various accounts created in this Resolution.
Moneys deposited in the various accounts herein created shall be applied only as
follows:
(a)Operation and Maintenance Fund
(i)There shall be transferred each calendar month, commencing in
June, 2005, to the Operation and Maintenance Fund a sum equal to one-
twelfth (1/12) of the amount budgeted or estimated to be the expenses of
operating and maintaining the Utility for the current fiscal year. Any balance of
the amount transferred monthly to the Operation and Maintenance Fund
remaining unspent on the last Business Day of the calendar month and
determined not to be needed may be credited against the amount otherwise
required to be deposited to the Operation and Maintenance Fund on such day.
(ii)Amounts in the Surplus Fund may be transferred to the Operation
and Maintenance Fund at any time if the amounts therein are insufficient to
permit the payment of the Operation and Maintenance Expenses in the current
month.
(iii)Money in the Operation and Maintenance Fund not immediately
required for current Operations and Maintenance Expenses shall be used to
remedy any deficiency in the Special Redemption Fund.
(b)Special Redemption Fund
(i)There shall be transferred to the Special Redemption Fund the
amounts necessary to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal
of the Bonds as the same becomes due and to create a Reserve Account as
required by this or any subsequent Resolution. On the date of issuance of the
Series 2005-C Bonds, the Issuer shall deposit $30,686.36 from available funds
in the Interest and Principal Account. Commencing in June, 2005, and in each
calendar month thereafter, an amount equal to one-sixth (1/6) of the next
installment of interest on the Bonds then outstanding until the full amount of
such installments shall be on deposit in the Interest and Principal Account,
plus an amount equal to one-sixth of the next installment of interest on the
Bonds then outstanding, shall be deposited into the Interest and Principal
Account. Commencing in June, 2005, and in each calendar month thereafter,
an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the installment of principal of the
Bonds coming due by reason of maturity or mandatory sinking fund
redemption on the May 1 next succeeding, shall be deposited in the Interest
and Principal Account until the full amount of such installments, plus an
amount equal to one-twelfth of the immediately following installment of
principal of the Bonds then outstanding shall be on deposit in the Interest and
Principal Account. To the extent that Bonds are to be called pursuant to
mandatory sinking fund payments on May 1 of any year, such payments shall
be considered installments of principal for which moneys in the Special
Redemption Fund shall be applied monthly and annually as herein provided.
Five (5) business days (or such other number of business days as shall be
agreed upon between the Municipality and the Paying Agent) prior to each
semi-annual interest payment date there shall be transferred to the Paying
Agent from the Interest and Principal Account or the Reserve Account an
amount sufficient to pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds coming due on the next interest payment date. Amounts transferred to
the Paying Agent shall be invested by the Paying Agent for the account of the
Municipality.
(ii)Upon the delivery of the Series 2005-C Bonds there shall be
deposited to the Reserve Account from the proceeds of the Series 2005-C
Bonds the sum of the Debt Service Reserve Requirement. In the event the
amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is less than the Debt Service
Reserve Requirement, the next available money in the Revenue Fund shall be
used to make monthly transfers to the Reserve Account equal to at least one-
twelfth (1/12) of the difference between the amount on deposit in the Reserve
Account and the Debt Service Reserve Requirement.
The Debt Service Reserve Requirement may be satisfied in whole or in part
with an insurance policy, Letter of Credit or other credit enhancement device, in
which event any payments to reimburse the provider of the insurance policy, Letter of
Credit or other credit enhancement device shall be paid from moneys that otherwise
would have been deposited in the Reserve Fund.
Investments on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be valued at the
amortized cost thereof, exclusive of accrued interest thereon. No moneys shall be
withdrawn from the Reserve Account, except for the purposes of this Section 13(b),
unless the amount on deposit therein is in excess of the Debt Service Reserve
Requirement for the Bonds then outstanding.
Whenever there is on deposit in the Reserve Account an amount in excess of
the Debt Service Reserve Requirement, the amount of such excess shall be
deposited in the Revenue Fund and used for the purposes thereof, unless such
income and earnings are required to satisfy the Debt Service Reserve Requirement.
(c)Renewal and Replacement Fund
(i)At or before the beginning of each Fiscal Year, commencing with
Fiscal Year 2005, the Finance Director of the Municipality shall recommend an
amount to be budgeted for the ensuing Fiscal Year as an amount necessary to
be used for the purposes for which the Renewal and Replacement Fund was
established, which budgeted amount will take into account any balances then
remaining in the Renewal and Replacement Fund at the beginning of such
Fiscal Year. Such budgeted amount may increase or differ from year to year.
(ii)From the Revenue Fund there shall be deposited in the Renewal
and Replacement Fund each month an amount which, together with amounts
on deposit therein will aggregate over the course of such Fiscal Year the
amount budgeted annually, as aforesaid.
(d)Surplus Fund. Amounts on deposit in the Surplus Fund may be used for
the purposes set forth in Section 12(e) of this Resolution.
Section 14.Covenants Regarding Operation of the Utility. The Municipality hereby
covenants and agrees with each and every owner of the Bonds, as follows:
(a)The Municipality will faithfully and punctually perform all duties with reference to
the Utility required by the Constitution and the laws of the State of Wisconsin, and will
continue collecting and charging appropriate rates for the use of the System, all in amounts
sufficient to provide for the segregation of the Revenues of the Utility and the application
thereof to the respective funds and accounts hereinabove created.
(b)The Municipality will not sell, lease or in any manner dispose of the Utility,
including without limitation any part thereof or any additions, extensions or improvements
that may be made thereto, until all of the Bonds shall have been paid in full, both principal
and interest, or until provision shall have been made for the payment of the Bonds and the
premium, if any, and the interest thereon in full in accordance with the provisions of Sections
2 and 23 hereof; provided, however, that the Utility may be transferred as a whole to
another municipal agency or public body, if permitted by Wisconsin law, provided, that the
transferee shall covenant to continue paying all Bonds payable from the Revenues of the
Utility as it exists on the date of such transfer, and provided further, that an independent
engineer or independent certified public accountant or both working together shall
demonstrate to the Municipality not less than sixty (60) days prior to such transfer that the
Net Revenues available in the ensuing two Fiscal Years are estimated to cover Maximum
Annual Debt Service not less than 1.20 times in each of such Fiscal Years.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the Municipality shall have the right to sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of any property of the Utility found by the Municipality not to be
necessary or not to be useful in the operation of the Utility. The proceeds received from the
sale, lease or disposal of said property may be used to purchase Bonds on the open market
or by request for tenders at a price not to exceed the then applicable redemption price, if
any, therefore or to redeem Bonds which are redeemable in advance of maturity and, to the
extent not so used, shall be paid into the Renewal and Replacement Fund, but such
deposits shall not reduce the amount otherwise required to be deposited therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Municipality may sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of the Utility as a whole, provided, that the proceeds of such sale or
disposition, together with any other available moneys, are sufficient to pay the principal of
premium, if any, and interest on all of the Bonds when due or upon extraordinary optional
redemption prior to maturity, in which case the proceeds of such sale shall become
Revenues, and shall not be used for any other purpose until the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on all of the Bonds shall have been paid or duly provided for as aforesaid.
(c)The Municipality will operate and maintain the Utility in good condition, and will
charge and collect such lawfully established rates and charges for the service rendered by
the Utility, so that the Revenues of the Utility will be sufficient to make the payments into the
funds and accounts created by this Resolution and to provide for the retirement of the
Bonds and the payment of the premium, if any, the interest thereon as the same become
due and which shall be sufficient to produce annual Net Revenues in each Fiscal Year
which, in the aggregate, will amount to 1.20 times Maximum Annual Debt Service, and will
promptly take all requisite actions necessary to fulfill any covenant of this Resolution.
(d)The Municipality will prepare annual budgets for the Utility taking into account
the rates then in effect and estimates of income based thereon and estimating Operation
and Maintenance Expenses of the Utility for each Fiscal Year. Such budgets will be
modified as needed to reflect rate charges as well as anticipated changes in expenses.
(e)The Municipality will keep proper books and accounts separate from all other
records of the Municipality relative to the Utility, and will cause such books and accounts to
be audited annually not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the close of each
Fiscal Year by a recognized independent firm of certified public accountants, and will make
available to the owners of at least ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the
Bonds then outstanding, the latest balance sheet and the profit and loss statement of the
Utility as certified by such accountants. A summary of such audit shall be mailed to any
owner of at least ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then
outstanding, requesting the same. The owner of at least ten percent (10%) in aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding shall have at all reasonable times the right
to inspect the Utility and the records, accounts and data relating thereto. Each such audit,
in addition to whatever matters may be thought proper by said accountants to be included
therein, shall include the following:
(i)a statement in detail of the Revenues and expenditures of the Utility for
the Fiscal Year;
(ii)a statement of the Net Revenues as herein defined for such Fiscal Year;
(iii)a balance sheet as of the end of such Fiscal Year; and
(iv)a table indicating the annual principal maturities, semiannual interest
payments and total annual debt service requirements of all Bonds and subordinated
debt outstanding on the last day of each fiscal year.
(f)The Municipality will carry, for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds, insurance
of a kind and in such amounts as would usually be carried by private companies or other
public bodies engaged in operating a similar utility. Such insurance policies may have
deductible amounts or self-insurance clauses in commercially reasonable amounts which, at
the date hereof, are determined to be $5,000,000 per occurrence. In addition, the
Municipality may elect to self-insure with respect to property damage or liability for bodily
injury or other casualties as permitted by Wisconsin law. All money received for losses
under any of such insurance policies, except public liability, shall be used in repairing the
damage or in replacing the property destroyed, but in the event that the Municipality shall
find it inadvisable to repair such damage or replace such property, and that the operation of
the Utility shall not have been impaired thereby, such money may be used to purchase
Bonds on the open market or by request for tenders at a price not to exceed the next
applicable redemption price, if any, therefore or to redeem Bonds which by their terms are
redeemable in advance of maturity and, to the extent not so used, shall be deposited in the
Renewal and Replacement Fund, in which event such payments shall not reduce the
amounts otherwise required to be deposited therein.
(g)The Municipality will grant no franchise for the operation of another storm water
system within the Municipality.
(h)The reasonable cost and value of any use of the Utility by the Municipality, if
any, shall be charged against the Municipality, and shall be by it paid as the use occurs, out
of the current revenues of the Municipality collected or in the process of collection, exclusive
of the Revenues derived from the Utility, and out of the tax levy of the Municipality made by
it to raise money to meet its necessary current expenses; provided, that, for purposes of this
Resolution, and subject to annual appropriation, the value of such service to the Municipality
shall be deemed to be the difference, if any, between the Revenues and the amount
necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and to replenish any deficiency
in the Reserve Account. Such compensation for such service rendered to the Municipality
shall be considered a portion of the Revenues.
Section 15.Parity Bonds. The Municipality will issue no other bonds or obligations of
any kind or nature payable from or enjoying a lien on the Revenues or the properties of the
Utility having a priority over the Series 2005-C Bonds. Bonds may hereafter be issued on a
parity with the Series 2005-C Bonds if all of the following conditions shall be met, but not
otherwise:
(i)The Net Revenues (adjusted as hereinafter provided) of the Utility for the
last completed Fiscal Year must have been at least equal to 1.20 times Maximum
Annual Debt Service (determined at the maximum rate which may be borne by
variable rate bonds) on all Bonds then outstanding and the Parity Bonds then to be
issued; provided, however, that if prior to the authorization of such Parity Bonds the
Municipality shall have adopted and put into effect a revised schedule of fees for the
use of the Utility then the Net Revenues of the Utility for the last completed Fiscal
Year which, in the written opinion of an independent consulting engineer or certified
public accountant employed for that purpose, would have resulted from such rates
had they been in effect for such period, may be used in lieu of the actual Net
Revenues for the last completed Fiscal Year.
(ii)The payments required to be made into the various funds and accounts
provided in Sections 12 and 13 of this Resolution, together with any required
balances, must be certified as current by the Finance Director of the Municipality;
(iii)The Parity Bonds must be payable as to principal on May 1 of each year
in which principal falls due and as to interest on May 1 and November 1 of each year,
and the rate of interest borne by the Parity Bonds may be fixed or variable;
(iv)The proceeds of the Parity Bonds must be used solely to refund Bonds or
for purchasing, acquiring, constructing, extending, adding to, improving, conducting,
controlling, operating or managing the Utility; and
(v)There shall be on deposit in the Reserve Account the Debt Service
Reserve Requirement on the Bonds then outstanding and the Parity Bonds then
being issued.
Section 16.Equality of Lien. All of the Bonds, regardless of the installment of which
they are a part and regardless of the dates of their issuance or delivery shall be secured
equally by a pledge of the Special Redemption Fund and the Revenues allocated to such
fund.
Section 17.Modification of Resolution. The owners of two-thirds in aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds at any time outstanding (not including in any case any Bonds
which may then be held or owned by or for the account of the Municipality shall have the
right from time to time to consent to and approve the adoption by the City Council of the
Municipality of a resolution or resolutions modifying or amending any of the terms or
provisions contained in this Resolution; provided, however, that this Resolution may not be
so modified or amended in such manner as to:
(a)make any change in the maturity of any Bonds;
(b)make any change in the rate of interest borne by any Bonds;
(c)reduce the amount of the principal or redemption premium payable on
any Bonds;
(d)modify the terms of payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if
any, on, any Bonds, or impose any conditions with respect to such payment;
(e)materially affect the rights of the owners of less than all of such Bonds
then outstanding;
(f)reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds, the
consent of the owners of which is required to effect a further modification.
Whenever the Municipality shall propose to amend or modify this Resolution under
the provisions of this Section, it shall cause notice of the proposed amendment or
modification to be filed with the Original Purchaser, the owners of all of the Bonds then
outstanding and the Paying Agent. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the
proposed amendment or modification, and shall state that a copy of the proposed
amendatory resolution is on file in the office of the City Clerk of the Municipality for public
inspection.
Whenever at any time within one (1) year from the date of the filing of said notice
there shall be filed with the City Clerk of the Municipality an instrument or instruments
executed by the owners of at least two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds
then outstanding, which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed amendatory
resolution described in said notice, and shall specifically consent to and approve the
adoption thereof, thereupon, but not otherwise, the City Council of the Municipality may
adopt such amendatory resolution and such resolution shall become effective.
If the owners of at least two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then
outstanding, at the time of the adoption of such amendatory resolution, or the predecessors
in title of such owners, shall have consented to and approved the adoption thereof as herein
provided, no owner of any Bond, whether or not such owner shall have consented to or shall
have revoked any consent as in this Section provided, shall have any right or interest to
object to the adoption of such amendatory resolution or to object to any of the terms or
provisions therein contained or to the operation thereof or to enjoin or restrain the
Municipality from taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof.
Any consent given by the owner of a Bond pursuant to the provisions of this
Section shall be irrevocable for a period of one (1) year from its date, and shall be
conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Bond during such period. Such
consent may be revoked at any time after one (1) year from its date by the owner who gave
such consent or by a successor in title by filing notice of such revocation with the City Clerk
of the Municipality, but such revocation shall not be effective if the owners of two-thirds in
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding shall have, prior to the attempted
revocation, consented to and approved the amendatory resolution referred to in such
revocation.
The fact and date of the execution of any instrument under the provisions of this
Section may be proved by the certificate of any officer in any jurisdiction, who by the laws
thereof is authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds within such jurisdiction, that the
person signing such instrument acknowledged before him the execution thereof, or may be
proved by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before such officer. The
amount and number of the Bonds held by any person executing such instrument and the
date of his owning the same may be proved by an affidavit by such person or by a certificate
executed by any responsible bank or trust company showing that on the date therein
mentioned such person had on deposit with such bank or trust company the Bonds
described in such certificate.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, this Resolution may be
amended without the consent of the owners of the Bonds in order to provide for the addition

The Municipality recognizes that the purchasers and owners of the Series 2005-C
Bonds will have accepted them on, and paid therefor a price which reflects, the
understanding that the interest thereon is excludible from Federal gross income of the
owners thereof under laws in force at the time the Series 2005-C Bonds shall have been
delivered. In this connection, the Municipality agrees that it shall take no action which may
render the interest on any of the Series 2005-C Bonds includible in Federal gross income of
the owners thereof and that the principal proceeds of the sale of the Series 2005-C Bonds
shall be devoted to and used with due diligence for the purposes for which the Series
2005-C Bonds are hereby authorized to be issued. The Municipality agrees that, to the
extent possible under state law, it will comply with whatever Federal law is adopted in the
future which applies to the Series 2005-C Bonds and affects the tax-exempt status of the
interest on the Series 2005-C Bonds.
(b)The City Manager, the City Clerk, the City Treasurer/Finance Director, or any of
them, are hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the Municipality a Tax Exemption
Certificate and Agreement to assure the purchasers and owners of the Series 2005-C
Bonds that the proceeds of the Series 2005-C Bonds are not expected to be used in a
manner which would or might result in the Series 2005-C Bonds being “reimbursement
bonds” issued in contravention of Section 1.103-18 of the United States Treasury
Department Regulations (the “Regulations”) or “arbitrage bonds” under Section 148 of the
Code or the Regulations currently in effect or proposed. Such Tax Exemption Certificate
and Agreement shall constitute a representation, certification and covenant of the
Municipality, and shall be incorporated herein by reference, and no use or investment of
Bond proceeds or of moneys accumulated to pay the 2005-C Bonds herein authorized shall
be made in violation of the expectations prescribed by said Tax Exemption Certificate and
Agreement. Such Tax Exemption Certificate and Agreement shall constitute an agreement
of the Municipality to follow certain covenants which may require the Municipality to take
certain actions (including the payment of certain amounts to the United States Treasury) or
which may prohibit certain actions (including the establishment of certain funds) under
certain conditions as specified in such Tax Exemption Certificate and Agreement.
The Municipality further recognizes that Section 149(a) of the Code requires the
Series 2005-C Bonds to be issued and to remain in fully registered form in order that the
interest thereon is excludible from Federal gross income of the owners thereof under laws in
force at the time the Series 2005-C Bonds are delivered. In this connection, the Municipality
agrees that it will not take any action to permit the Series 2005-C Bonds to be issued in, or
converted into, bearer or coupon form.
