Any deficiency in the balance maintained in the Reserve Account shall be promptly made up from the next available Net Revenues remaining after credits into the Bond and Interest Account. Any moneys in the Reserve Account in excess of the Reserve Requirement shall either be transferred to the Sewage Works Improvement Fund or be used for the purchase of outstanding bonds or installments of principal of fully registered bonds. (d) The Sinking Fund (containing the Bond and Interest Account and the Reserve Account) and the Construction Account, may be held by a financial institution acceptable to the Authority as part of its SRF Program, pursuant to terms acceptable to the Authority.

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works, the terms of the contract will comply with IRS Revenue Procedure 97 -13, as it may be amended, supplemented or superseded for time to time, so that the contract will not give rise to private business use under -47- I/2828366.2 { the Code and the Regulations, unless such use in aggregate relates to no more than 10% of the proceeds of the Bonds or BANs, as the case may be.

The Common Council hereby authorizes the issuance and execution of the BAN or BANs in lieu of - 49 - 112828366.2 EF' 1 initially issuing the Bonds to provide interim financing for the Projects until permanent financing becomes available. It shall not be necessary for the City to repeat the procedures for the issuance of its Bonds, as the procedures followed before the issuance of the BAN or BANs are for all purposes sufficient to authorize the issuance of the Bonds and the use of the proceeds to repay the BAN or BANs. (b) The Mayor and the Controller are hereby authorized and directed to execute a Purchase Agreement in such form or substance as they shall approve acting upon the advice of counsel.
