No person other than the Depository Trust Company shall receive an authenticated Refunding Bond evidencing an obligation of the City to make payments of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Refunding Bonds pursuant to this ordinance. The City and the Registrar and Paying Agent may treat as and deem the Depository Trust Company or CEDE & CO. to be the absolute bondholder of each of the Refunding Bonds for the purpose of (1) payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Refunding Bonds; (ii) giving notices of redemption and other notices permitted to be given to bondholders with respect to such Refunding Bonds; (iii) registering transfers with respect to such Refunding Bonds; (iv) obtaining any consent or other action required or permitted to be taken of or by bondholders; (v) voting; and (vi) for all other purposes whatsoever.

Upon receipt by the City of written notice from the Depository Trust Company to the effect that the Depository Trust Company is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities and no substitute depository willing to undertake the functions of the Depository Trust Company hereunder can be found which is willing and able to undertake such functions upon reasonable and customary terms, then the Refunding Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the register of the City kept by the Registrar in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company, but may be registered in whatever name or names the bondholders transferring or exchanging the Refunding Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance. -9- 1/2795517.1 If the City determines that it is in the best interest of the bondholders that they be able to obtain certificates for the fully registered Refunding Bonds, the City may notify the Depository Trust Company and the Registrar, whereupon the Depository Trust Company will notify the Beneficial Owners of the availability through the Depository Trust Company of certificates for the Refunding Bonds. In such event, the Registrar shall prepare, authenticate, transfer and exchange certificates for the Refunding Bonds as requested by the Depository Trust Company and any Beneficial Owners in appropriate amounts, and whenever the Depository Trust Company requests the City and the Registrar to do so, the Registrar and the City will cooperate with the Depository Trust Company by taking appropriate action after reasonable notice (i) to make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the fully registered Refunding Bonds of any Beneficial Owner's Depository Trust Company account or (ii) to arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates for and evidencing the Refunding Bonds. If the Refunding Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of a Depository Trust Company, the Registrar shall cause the Refunding Bonds to be printed in blank in such number as the Registrar shall determine to be necessary or customary; provided, however, that the Registrar shall not be required to have such Refunding Bonds printed until it shall have received from the City indemnification for all costs and expenses associated with such printing. In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to bondholders by the City or the Registrar with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by bondholders, the City or the Registrar, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for such consent or other action and give the Depository Trust Company notice of such record date not less than fifteen (15) calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible. -10- So long as the Refunding Bonds are registered in the name of the Depository Trust Company or CEDE & CO. or any substitute nominee, the City and the Registrar and Paying Agent shall be entitled to request and to rely upon a certificate or other written representation from the Beneficial Owners of the Refunding Bonds or from the Depository Trust Company on behalf of such Beneficial Owners stating the amount of their respective beneficial ownership interests in the Refunding Bonds and setting forth the consent, advice, direction, demand or vote of the Beneficial Owners as of a record date selected by the Registrar and the Depository Trust Company, to the same extent as if such consent, advice, direction, demand or vote were made by the bondholders for purposes of this ordinance and the City and the Registrar and Paying Agent shall for such purposes treat the Beneficial Owners as the bondholders. Along with any such certificate or representation, the Registrar may request the Depository Trust Company to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Registrar a list of all Beneficial Owners of the Refunding Bonds, together with the dollar amount of each Beneficial Owner's interest in the Refunding Bonds and the current addresses of such Beneficial Owners.

The exact redemption dates and premiums, if any, will be established by the Mayor, with the advice of the City's financial advisor, prior to the sale of the Refunding Bonds. (b) If any Refunding Bond is issued as a term bond, the Paying Agent shall credit against the mandatory sinking fund requirement for the Refunding Bonds maturing as term 1/2795517.1 bonds, and corresponding mandatory redemption obligation, in the order determined by the City, any Refunding Bonds maturing as term bonds which have previously been redeemed (otherwise than as a result of a previous mandatory redemption requirement) or delivered to the Registrar for cancellation or purchased for cancellation by the Paying Agent and not theretofore applied as a credit against any redemption obligation. Each Refunding Bond maturing as a term bond so delivered or canceled shall be credited by the Paying Agent at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the mandatory sinking fund obligation on such mandatory sinking fiend date, and any excess of such amount shall be credited on future redemption obligations, and the principal amount of the Refunding Bonds to be redeemed by operation of the mandatory sinking fund requirement shall be accordingly reduced; provided, however, the Paying Agent shall credit only such Refunding Bonds maturing as term bonds to the extent received on or before forty -five (45) days preceding the applicable mandatory redemption date as stated above. Each Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) principal amount shall be considered a separate bond for purposes of optional and mandatory redemption. If less than an entire maturity is called for redemption, the Refunding Bonds to be called shall be selected by lot by the Registrar. If some Refunding Bonds are to be redeemed by optional redemption and mandatory sinking fiend redemption on the same date, the Registrar shall select by lot the Refunding Bonds for optional redemption before selecting the Refunding Bonds by lot for the mandatory sinking fund redemption. (c) In either case, notice of such redemption shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption by mail unless the notice is waived by the registered owner of a Refunding Bond. Such notice shall be mailed to the address of the registered owners as shown on the registration records of the City as of the date which is forty -five (45) days prior to -12- 1/2795517.1 such redemption date.

Section 11. Revenue Fund All revenues derived from the operation of the sewage works and from the collection of sewer rates and charges shall be deposited in the Revenue Fund hereby continued, and segregated and deposited as set forth in this ordinance. Of these revenues the proper and reasonable expenses of operation, repair and maintenance of the works shall be paid, the principal and interest of all bonds and fiscal agency charges of registrars or paying agents shall be paid, the reserve shall be funded, and the costs of replacements, extensions, additions and improvements shall be paid. No moneys derived from the revenues of the sewage works shall be transferred to the general fund of the City or to be used for any purpose not connected with the sewage works so long as any bonds payable from the revenues of the sewage works are outstanding. Section 12. Operation and Maintenance Fund There is hereby continued a fund known as the Operation and Maintenance Fund ( "O &M Fund "). On the last day of each calendar month there shall be credited from the Revenue Fund to the O &M Fund a sufficient amount of the revenues of the sewage works so the balance in said fund shall be sufficient to pay the expenses of operation, repair and maintenance for the then next succeeding two calendar months. The moneys credited to this Fund shall be used for the payment of the reasonable and proper operation, repair and maintenance expenses of the sewage works on a day -to -day basis, but none -22- 1/2795517.1 of the monies in such fund shall be used for depreciation, replacements, improvements, extensions or additions. Any balance in said Fund in excess of the expected expenses of operation, replacements and maintenance for the next succeeding month may be transferred to the Sewage Works Sinking Fund if necessary to prevent a default in the payment of principal of or interest on the outstanding bonds. Section 13. Sewa Works Sinking Fund (a) There is hereby continued a special fund designated the Sewage Works Sinking Fund ( "Sinking Fund "). There shall be deposited from the Revenue Fund into said Sinking Fund for the payment of the principal of and interest on revenue bonds which by their terms are payable from the Net Revenues of the sewage works and the payment of any fiscal agency charges in connection with the payment of the bonds and interest thereon a sufficient amount of the Net Revenues of said sewage works to meet the requirements of the Bond and Interest Account and Debt Service Reserve Account hereby continued in the Sinking Fund. Such payments shall continue until the balance in the Bond and Interest Account, plus the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account equal the principal of and interest on all of the then outstanding bonds of the sewage works to their final maturity. (b) Bond and Interest Account The Bond and Interest Account is hereby continued. Any moneys heretofore accumulated to pay principal and interest for the Refunded Bonds shall be credited to and become a part of the Trust Account under the Escrow Agreement and shall be applied on the first payments made from the Trust Account. There shall be credited on the last day of each calendar month from the Revenue Fund to the Bond and Interest Account an amount of the Net Revenues equal to at least one - twelfth (1/12) of the principal of and at least one -sixth (1/6) of the interest on all then outstanding bonds payable on the then next succeeding principal and interest payment dates until the amount of principal and interest payable on the then next -23- succeeding principal and interest payment dates shall have been so credited.

(c) Debt Service Reserve Account The Debt Service Reserve Account ( "Reserve Account ") is hereby continued. On the date of delivery of the Refunding Bonds, funds on hand of the sewage works, Bond proceeds or a combination thereof may be deposited into the Reserve Account. The balance to be maintained in the Reserve Account shall equal the maximum annual debt service on the Refunding Bonds, the Outstanding Bonds and any additional parity bonds ( "Reserve Requirement "). If the initial deposit into the Reserve Account does not cause the balance therein to equal the Reserve Requirement or if no deposit is made, a sum of Net Revenues shall be credited to the Reserve Account on the last day of each calendar month until the balance therein equals the Reserve Requirement. The monthly deposits of Net Revenues shall be equal in amount and sufficient to accumulate the Reserve Requirement within five years of the date of delivery of the Refunding Bonds. The Reserve Account shall constitute the margin for safety and protection against default in the payment of principal of and interest on the Outstanding Bonds, the Refunding Bonds and any additional parity bonds, and the moneys in the Reserve Account shall be used to pay current principal and interest on the Outstanding Bonds, the Refunding Bonds and any additional parity bonds to the extent that moneys in the Bond and Interest Account are insufficient for that -24- 1/2795517.1 purpose. Any deficiency in the balance maintained in the Reserve Account shall be made up from the next available Net Revenues remaining after credits into the Bond and Interest Account. In the event moneys in the Reserve Account are transferred to the Bond and Interest Account to pay principal and interest on the Refunding Bonds, the Outstanding Bonds or any additional parity bonds, then such depletion of the balance in the Reserve Account shall be made up from the next available Net Revenues after the credits into the Bond and Interest Account hereinbefore provided for. Any moneys in the Reserve Account in excess of the Reserve Requirement shall be transferred to the Sewage Works Improvement Fund and in no event shall excess moneys be held in the Reserve Account. Section 14. Sewage Works Improvement Fund There is hereby continued a special fund designated the Sewage Works Improvement Fund ( "Improvement Fund "). On the last day of each calendar month, after meeting requirements for the O &M Fund, and the Sinking Fund, all available revenues shall be credited to the Improvement Fund. Said Fund shall be used for improvements, replacements, additions and extensions of the sewage works. Moneys in the Improvement Fund shall be transferred to the Sinking Fund if necessary to prevent a default in the payment of principal and interest on the then outstanding Refunding Bonds or Outstanding Bonds, or, if necessary to eliminate any deficiencies in credits to or minimum balance in the Reserve Account of the Sinking Fund or may be transferred to the O &M Fund to meet unforeseen contingencies in the operation, repair and maintenance of the sewage works. Section 15. Maintenance of Funds The Sinking Fund shall be deposited in and maintained as a separate account or accounts from all other accounts of the City. The O &M Fund and the Improvement Fund may be maintained in a single account, or accounts, but such account, or accounts, shall likewise be maintained separate and apart from all other accounts of -25- 1 f' Y7 n G G 1 '7 1 the City and apart from the Sinking Fund account or accounts. All moneys deposited in the accounts shall be deposited, held and secured as public funds in accordance with the public depository laws of the State of Indiana; provided that moneys therein may be invested in obligations in accordance with the applicable laws, including particularly Indiana Code, Title 5, Article 13, as amended or supplemented, and in the event of such investment the income therefrom shall become a part of the funds invested and shall be used only as provided in this ordinance. Nothing in this section or elsewhere in this ordinance shall be construed to require that separate bank accounts be established and maintained for the Funds and Accounts continued by this ordinance. Section 16. Defeasance of the Refunding Bonds If, when the Refunding Bonds or a portion thereof shall have become due and payable in accordance with their terms or shall have been duly called for redemption or irrevocable instructions to call the Refunding Bonds or a portion thereof for redemption shall have been given, and the whole amount of the principal and the interest and the premium, if any, so due and payable upon all of the Refunding Bonds or a portion thereof then outstanding shall be paid; or (1) cash (insured at all times by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or otherwise collateralized with obligations described in (ii) below), or (ii) direct obligations of (including obligations issued or held in book entry form on the books of) the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America, the principal of and the interest on which when due will provide sufficient moneys for such purpose, shall be held in trust for such purpose, and provision shall also be made for paying all fees and expenses for the redemption, then and in that case the Refunding Bonds or any designated portion thereof issued hereunder shall no longer be deemed outstanding or entitled to the pledge of the Net Revenues of the City's sewage works. -26- Section 17. Rate Covenant The City covenants and agrees that it will establish and maintain just and equitable rates or charges for the use of and the service rendered by the works, to be paid by the owner of each and every lot, parcel of real estate or building that is connected with and uses said sewage works by or through any part of the sewage system of the City, or that in any way uses or is served by such works, at a level adequate to produce and maintain sufficient revenue (including user and other charges, fees, income, or revenues available to the City) to provide for the proper Operation and Maintenance (as defined in the Financial Assistance Agreement) of the works, to comply with and satisfy all covenants contained in this ordinance and the Financial Assistance Agreement and for the payment of the sums required to be paid into the Sinking Fund by the Act and this ordinance. Such rates or charges shall, if necessary, be changed and readjusted from time to time so the revenues therefrom shall always be sufficient to meet the expenses of Operation and Maintenance of the sewage works and the requirements of the Sinking Fund. The rates and charges so established shall apply to any and all use of such works by and service rendered to the City and all departments thereof, and shall be paid by the City or the various departments thereof as the charges accrue. Section 18.

For purposes of this subsection, the records of the sewage works shall be analyzed and all showings prepared by a certified public accountant or nationally recognized firm of professionals experienced in analyzing financial records of municipal utilities employed by the City for that purpose.

(b) So long as any of the Refunding Bonds herein authorized are outstanding, the City shall maintain insurance on the insurable parts of the works of a kind and in an amount such as is usually carried by private companies engaged in similar types of business, to protect the sewage works and its operations, and which insurance coverage shall be acceptable to the Authority so long as the Outstanding Bonds are owned by the Authority as part of its SRF Program. All insurance shall be placed with responsible insurance companies qualified to do business under the laws of the State of Indiana. Insurance proceeds and condemnation awards shall be used to replace or repair the sewage works unless the Authority consents to a different use of such proceeds or awards. (c) So long as any of the Refunding Bonds are outstanding, the City shall not mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber the property and plant of its sewage works system, or any part thereof, and shall not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any part of the same, excepting only such machinery, equipment or other property as may be replaced, or shall no longer be necessary for use in connection with said utility, provided however, only with the prior written -29- consent of the Authority so long as the Outstanding Bonds are owned by the Authority as part of its SRF Program. (d) So long as the Outstanding Bonds are outstanding and owned by the Authority as part of the SRF Program, the City shall not borrow any money, enter into any contract or agreement or incur any other liabilities in connection with the sewage works, other than for normal operating expenditures, without the prior written consent of the Authority if such undertaking would involve, commit or use the revenues of the sewage works. (e) Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 18 of this ordinance, so long as any of the Refunding Bonds are outstanding, no additional bonds or other obligations pledging any portion of the revenues of the system shall be authorized, issued or executed by the City, except such as shall be made junior and subordinate in all respects to the Refunding Bonds, unless all of the Refunding Bonds are redeemed or defeased coincidentally with the delivery of such additional bonds or other obligations.

If the owners of not less than sixty -six and two - thirds percent (66 2/3 %) in aggregate principal amount of the Refunding Bonds outstanding at the time of adoption of such supplemental ordinance shall have consented to and approved the adoption thereof by written instrument to be maintained on file in the office of the Clerk- Treasurer of the City, no owner of any Refunding Bond issued pursuant to this ordinance shall have any right to object to the adoption of such supplemental ordinance or to object to any of the terms and provisions contained therein or the operation thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the -32- 1/2795517.1 adoption thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the Common Council of the City from adopting the same, or from taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this ordinance, the rights and obligations of the City and of the owners of the Refunding Bonds authorized by this ordinance, and the terms and provisions of the Refunding Bonds and this ordinance, or any supplemental or amendatory ordinance, may be modified or altered in any respect with the consent of the City and the consent of the owners of all the Refunding Bonds then outstanding. Section 21. Investment of Funds (a) The Clerk- Treasurer is hereby authorized to invest moneys pursuant to the provisions of this ordinance and IC 5- 1 -14 -3 (subject to applicable requirements of federal law to insure such yield is then current market rate) to the extent necessary or advisable to preserve the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Refunding Bonds under federal law. (a) The Clerk- Treasurer shall keep full and accurate records of investment earnings and income from moneys held in the funds and accounts created or referenced herein. In order to comply with the provisions of the ordinance, the Clerk- Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to employ consultants or attorneys from time to time to advise the City as to requirements of federal law to preserve the tax exclusion. The Clerk - Treasurer may pay any fees as operation expenses of the sewage works. -33- Section 22. Tax Covenants In order to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Refunding Bonds from gross income for federal tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as existing on the date of issuance of the Refunding Bonds ( "Code "), and as an inducement to purchasers of the Refunding Bonds, the City represents, covenants and agrees that: (a) Since the date of issuance of the Refunded Bonds and until the earlier of the last date of the reasonably expected economic life of the project constructed with funds from the Refunded Bonds or the latest maturity date of the Refunding Bonds ( "Combined Measurement Period "), the sewage works will be available for use by members of the general public. Use by a member of the general public means use by natural persons not engaged in a trade or business. During the Combined Measurement Period, no person or entity other than the City or another state or local governmental unit will use more than 10% of the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds or property financed by the Refunded Bond proceeds other than as a member of the general public. During the Combined Measurement Period, no person or entity other than the City or another state or local governmental unit will own property financed by Refunding Bond proceeds or will have any actual or beneficial use of such property pursuant to a lease, a management or incentive payment contract, arrangements such as take -or -pay or output contracts or any other type of arrangement that conveys other special legal entitlements and differentiates that person's or entity's use of such property from use by the general public, unless such uses in the aggregate relate to no more than 10% of the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds. If the City enters into a management contract for the sewage works, the terms of the contract will comply with IRS Revenue Procedure 97 -13, as it may be amended, supplemented or superseded for time to time, so that the contract will not give rise to private business use under the Code and the Regulations, -34- unless such use in aggregate relates to no more than 10% of the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds. (b) During the Combined Measurement Period, no more than 10% of the principal of or interest on the Refunding Bonds is (under the terms of the Refunding Bonds, this ordinance or any underlying arrangement), directly or indirectly, secured by an interest in property used or to be used for any private business use or payments in respect of any private business use or payments in respect of such property or to be derived from payments (whether or not to the City) in respect of such property or borrowed money used or to be used for a private business use. (c) No more than 5% of the Refunding Bond proceeds will be loaned to any person or entity other than another state or local governmental unit. No more than 5% of the Refunding Bond proceeds will be transferred, directly or indirectly, or deemed transferred to a nongovernmental person in any manner that would in substance constitute a loan of the Refunding Bond proceeds. (d) The City reasonably expects, as of the date hereof, that the Refunding Bonds will not meet either the private business use test described in paragraph (a) and (b) above or the private loan test described in paragraph (c) above for the Combined Measurement Period. (e) During the Combined Measurement Period, no more than 5% of the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds will be attributable to private business use as described in (a) and private security or payments described in (b) attributable to unrelated or disproportionate private business use. For this purpose, the private business use test is applied by taking into account only use that is not related to any government use of proceeds of the issue (Unrelated Use) and use that is related but disproportionate to any governmental use of those proceeds (Disproportionate Use). -35- 1/2795517.1 (f) The City will not take any action nor fail to take any action with respect to the Refunding Bonds that would result in the loss of the exclusion from gross income for federal tax purposes on the Refunding Bonds pursuant to Section 103 of the Code, nor will the City act in any other manner which would adversely affect such exclusion. The City covenants and agrees not to enter into any contracts or arrangements which would cause the Refunding Bonds to be treated as private activity bonds under Section 141 of the Code. (g) It shall be not an event of default under this ordinance if the interest on any Refunding Bond is not excludable from gross income for federal tax purposes or otherwise pursuant to any provision of the Code which is not currently in effect and in existence on the date of issuance of the Refunding Bonds. (h) The City represents that: (1) The City is a governmental unit with general taxing powers, which powers include the power to impose taxes of general applicability that, when collected, may be used for the general purposes of the City; (2) The Refunding Bonds are not private activity bonds as defined in Section 141 of the Code; (3) At least 95% of the net proceeds of the Refunding Bonds will be used for local governmental activities of the City or of a governmental unit, the jurisdiction of which is entirely within the jurisdiction of the City; (4) The aggregate face amount of all tax - exempt bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by the City and all units subordinate to the City, including on- behalf -of issuers and subordinate entities as those terms are defined -36- in Regulations Section 1.148- 8(c)(2), is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000 in calendar year 2012; and (5) The City has not been formed or availed of to otherwise avoid the purposes of the $5,000,000 size limitation. Therefore, the City may meet the requirements of Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code and in that case, will not have to rebate any arbitrage profits to the United States. The City's rebate obligation, if any, will be determined and set forth in the closing certificates of the City delivered at the time of the delivery of the Refunding Bonds. (i) The City represents that: (1) The Refunding Bonds are not private activity bonds as defined in Section 141 of the Code; (2) The City hereby designates the Refunding Bonds, to the extent such Refunding Bonds are not deemed designated, as qualified tax - exempt obligations for purposes of Section 265(b) of the Code; (3) The reasonably anticipated amount of qualified tax - exempt obligations (including qualified 501(c)(3) obligations and tax- exempt leases but excluding other private activity bonds) which will be issued by the City, and all entities subordinate to the City during 2012 does not exceed $10,000,000; and (4) The City will not designate more than $10,000,000 of qualified tax - exempt obligations during 2012. Therefore, the Refunding Bonds qualify for the exception in the Code from the disallowance of 100% of the deduction by financial institutions of interest expense allocable to newly acquired tax - exempt obligations. -37- (j) These covenants are based solely on current law in effect and in existence on the date of delivery of such Refunding Bonds. Section 23.
