Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including without limitation The
Depository Trust Company, which is the record owner of the Bonds, to establish
procedures with respect to the Series 2010G Bonds owned by such depository. Such
agreement may impose additional requirements on the Bond Registrar with respect to
the Series 2010G Bonds.
Section 5. Interest; Payment Provisions. The Series 2010G Bonds shall bear
interest from the later of their dated date or from the most recent interest payment date
to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at the above stated rates per
annum, calculated on the basis of a 360 -day year of twelve 30 -day months, and shall be
payable on May 1, 2011, and semiannually thereafter on May 1 and November 1 of
each year. Interest on each Series 2010G Bond shall be paid on the due date by check
or draft of the Paying Agent in lawful money of the United States of America to the
registered owner in whose name such Series 2010G Bond is registered at the close of
business on the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month immediately preceding the
interest payment date (the "Record Date'). The principal of the Series 2010G Bonds
shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the designated
office of the Paying Agent in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, upon presentation and surrender of
so
the Series 2010G Bond. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on any Series 2010G Bond shall be payable by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to such wire transfer address within the continental United
States of America as shall be requested by any owner of the Series 2010G Bonds in an
aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000, if such owner shall have requested
payment by such method in writing, and shall have provided the Paying Agent with an
account number and other necessary information for such purpose by the applicable
Record Date; provided, that the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on
each Series 2010G Bond shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such
Series 2010G Bond at the designated office of the Paying Agent in Oshkosh,
Wisconsin.
Section 6. Prior Redemption of Series 201OG Bonds. The Series 2010G Bonds
coming due on and after May 1, 2021, 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,
2020, 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.
The Bonds are subject to extraordinary optional redemption prior to maturity at
the option of the City, as a whole or in part in any such order as the City may determine
(less than all of the Bonds of a single maturity to be selected by the Registrar as
hereinafter provided), on any date, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal
amount thereof being redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption,
-12-
in the event that either (i) Section 54AA or 6431 of the Code is repealed, amended or
modified in a manner which results in a reduction or elimination of the cash subsidy
payment to the City from the United States Treasury with respect to the Bonds, or
(ii) the United States Treasury fails to make a cash subsidy payment to which the City is
entitled with respect to the Bonds and such failure is not caused by any action or
inaction by the City.
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 201OG Bonds to be redeemed. For purposes of any redemption of less
than all of the Series 2010G Bonds of a single maturity, if the Series 2010G Bonds are
not held by a single registered owner, the particular Series 201OG Bonds or portions of
Series 2010G 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 201OG 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 201OG Bonds or portions of Series 201OG Bonds selected for redemption and, in
the case of any Series 201OG Bond selected for partial redemption, the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed.
Unless waived by the registered owner of the Series 201OG 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
-13-
than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for
redemption to each registered owner of the Series 2010G Bond or Series 2010G 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 201OG Bond, or any defect therein,
shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of any other
Series 201OG Bonds.
All official notices of redemption shall include the name of the Series 2010G
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 2010G Bonds of a single maturity are to
be redeemed, the identification, including CUSIP numbers (and, in the case of
partial redemption of any Series 2010G Bonds, the respective principal amounts)
of the Series 2010G 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 201OG 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 2010G 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
-14-
the Series 201OG Bonds or portions of Series 201OG Bonds which are to be redeemed
on that date. With respect to an optional redemption of any Series 2010G Bonds,
unless moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Series 2010G 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 201OG 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 201OG Bonds will not be redeemed.
Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Series 201OG Bonds or
portions of Series 201OG 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 2010G Bonds or portions of Series 2010G 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 201OG 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
-15-
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 201OG Bonds for redemption in accordance with
said notice, such Series 2010G 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 201OG Bond,
there shall be prepared for the registered owner a new Series 201OG Bond or
Series 2010G 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 2010G Bond or portion of a Series 2010G 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 2010G Bond or portion of a Series 2010G Bond so called for redemption. All
Series 201OG 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
-16-
Series 2010G Bonds being redeemed; (ii) the date of issuance of the Series 2010G
Bonds as originally issued; (iii) the rate of interest borne by each Series 2010G Bond
being redeemed; (iv) the maturity date of each Series 2010G Bond being redeemed;
and (v) any other descriptive information needed to identify accurately the Series 2010G
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 2010G
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 2010G 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 201OG 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 201OG 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 201OG Bonds being
redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer.
Section 8. Execution; Authentication. The Series 2010G 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 2010G Bond
shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Series 2010G 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 201 OG 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 2010G 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 2010G Bond
shall be conclusive evidence that such Series 2010G Bond has been authenticated and
delivered under this Resolution. The certificate of authentication on any Series 2010G
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 2010G Bonds issued under this Resolution.
Section 9. Registration of Series 2010G Bonds; Persons Treated as Owners.
The Municipality shall cause the Bond Register for the registration and for the transfer of
the Series 2010G 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,
-18-
multiple Series 2010G Bond blanks executed by the Municipality for use in the transfer
and exchange of the Series 2010G Bonds.
Upon surrender for transfer of any Series 2010G 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 2010G Bond or Series 2010G
Bonds of the same series, maturity and interest rate of authorized denominations, for a
like aggregate principal amount. Any fully registered Series 2010G Bond or
Series 2010G Bonds may be exchanged at said office of the Bond Registrar for a like
aggregate principal amount of Series 2010G Bonds of the same series, maturity and
interest rate of other authorized denominations. The execution by the Municipality of
any fully registered Series 2010G Bond shall constitute full and due authorization of
such Series 2010G Bond, and the Bond Registrar shall thereby be authorized to
authenticate, date and deliver such Series 2010G Bond; provided, however, that the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Series 2010G Bonds of each maturity
authenticated by the Bond Registrar shall not exceed the authorized aggregate principal
amount of Series 2010G 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 2010G Bond during the period of fifteen (15) days next
preceding any interest payment date on the Series 2010G Bonds, nor to transfer or
exchange any Series 2010G Bond after notice calling such Series 2010G Bond for
-19-
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 2010G Bonds.
The person in whose name any Series 201OG 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 2010G Bond shall be made

TAXABLE SEWER SYSTEM REVENUE BOND, SERIES 20106
This Bond is one of an authorized issue of Taxable Sewer System Revenue
Bonds, Series 2010G, aggregating the principal amount of $4,890,000 (the
"Series 2010G 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 sewerage facilities of the
Municipality (the "System'), and is payable only from the revenues to be derived from
the operation of the System, 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
September 28, 2010 (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, the Series 201OG Bonds are being issued on a parity with certain
outstanding sewerage system revenue bonds previously issued by the Municipality (the
"Prior Bonds'), additional bonds may be issued by the Issuer on a parity with the
Series 201OG Bonds and the Prior Bonds (the "Parity Bonds ") and, together with the
Series 201OG Bonds and the Prior Bonds, the `Bonds') having a lien on said revenues
equal to the lien with respect to the Series 2010G Bonds and the Prior Bonds, and rank
pari passu with the Series 201OG Bonds and the Prior 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
-25-
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
Oshkosh, 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 2010G Bond or
Series 2010G 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 2010G 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 2010G 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 2010G Bonds of the issue of which this Bond is one maturing on and
after May 1, 2021, 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, 2020, and on
-26-
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 Bonds, are subject to extraordinary optional redemption prior to maturity at
the option of the City, as a whole or in part in any such order as the City may determine,

provided in the authorizing resolution, on any date, at a redemption price of 100% of the
principal amount thereof being redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption, upon the occurrence of an event described in the authorizing resolution
relating to the cash subsidy payments to be made to the City by the United States
Treasury.
Notice of any intended redemption shall be sent by first class mail, postage
prepaid, not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date
fixed for redemption to the registered owner of each Series 201OG Bond to be
redeemed (in whole or in part) at the address shown on the registration books of the

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,

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.

Section 12. Creation of Funds and Accounts. (a) For the purpose of the
allocation and proper application of the Revenues of the System and to secure the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, certain funds
and accounts of the System are hereby created or continued and shall be used solely
for the following respective purposes:

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
-29-
provisions of this Resolution. The Interest and Principal Account shall be
the same fund known as the "Debt Service Fund" under the Prior Bond
Resolutions.
(ii) the Reserve Account, which shall be used for the purpose of
paying the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Series 201OG
Bonds and any Parity Bonds (but not the Prior 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.
Unless otherwise hereafter determined, the Prior Bonds currently
outstanding or hereafter issued shall not be payable from or secured by
the Reserve Account.
(d) the Sewerage System 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 System, the costs of extraordinary maintenance,
necessary repairs and replacements and expansion for which no other
moneys of the System are available in order that the System 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 System are insufficient
therefor;
(iii) maintenance of the required balance in the Reserve Account;
and
-30-
(iv) extraordinary casualty claims against the System;
(v) the Operation and Maintenance Expenses of the System.
The Renewal and Replacement Fund is the same fund known as the
"Replacement Fund" under the Prior Bond Resolutions.
(e) the Sewerage System 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
-31-
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 System, 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
-32-
in the Revenue Fund. Investment income earned on the funds and accounts created
herein shall be included in the Revenues of the System. 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 201 OG 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 System 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.
-33-
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 October, 2010, 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 System 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) Moneys on deposit 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. Commencing
-34-
in October, 2010, 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
October, 2010, 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
-35-
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 2010G Bonds there shall be
deposited to the Reserve Account from the proceeds of the Series 201OG
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 Series 201OG Bonds and any Parity 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
-36-
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.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, under no circumstance
shall moneys on deposit in the Reserve Account be used to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Prior Bonds or in any way secure the Prior
Bonds.
(c) Renewal and Replacement Fund
(i) At or before the beginning of each Fiscal Year, commencing
with Fiscal Year 2010, and subject to the terms and provisions of the Prior
Resolutions, the Director of Finance 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, subject to the terms and provisions of
the Prior Resolutions.
(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.
-37-
Section 14. Covenants Regarding Operation of the System. 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 System 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 System 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
System, 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 System 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 System 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 1.10 times in each of such Fiscal Years.
-38-
Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the Municipality shall have the
right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any property of the System found by
the Municipality not to be necessary or not to be useful in the operation of the
System. 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 System 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 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 System in good
condition, and will charge and collect such lawfully established rates and charges
for the service rendered by the System, so that the Revenues of the System 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
-39-
aggregate, will amount to 1.10 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 System taking
into account the rates then in effect and estimates of income based thereon and
estimating Operation and Maintenance Expenses of the System 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 System, 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 System 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 owners 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 System 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:
-40-
(i) a statement in detail of the Revenues and expenditures of the
System 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 $ 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 insurance policies, 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 System 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
-41-
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
sewerage system within the Municipality.
(h) The reasonable cost and value of any use of the System 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
System, 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

obligations of any kind or nature payable from or enjoying a lien on the Revenues or the

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 System then the Net Revenues of the
System 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.

accounts provided in Sections 12 and 13 of this Resolution, together with any
required balances, must be certified as current by the Director of Finance 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 System; 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.

secured equally by a pledge of the Interest and Principal Account of the Special
Redemption Fund and the Revenues allocated to such account; and the Bonds (other
than the Prior Bonds), regardless of the installment of which they are a part and
regardless of the dates of their issuance or delivery, other than the Prior Bonds, shall be
secured equally by a pledge of the Reserve Account of the Special Redemption Fund
and the Revenues allocated to such account.

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

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

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

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
-46-
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.

amended without the consent of the owners of the Bonds in order to provide for the
