Registrar or at such other address as is provided to the Paying Agent in writing by such
registered owner. If payment of principal or interest is made to a depository, payment shall be

fully registered Refunding Bond or Refunding Bonds in an authorized aggregate principal
amount and of the same maturity, shall be executed and delivered in the name of the transferee or
transferees or the registered owner, as the case may be, in exchange therefor. The costs of such
transfer or exchange shall be borne by the City. The City, the Registrar and Paying Agent for the

I/3184021.1
The Registrar and Paying Agent may at any time resign as Registrar and Paying Agent
upon giving 30 days' notice in writing to the City and by first class mail to each registered owner
of the Refunding Bonds then outstanding, and such resignation will take effect at the end of such
30 day period or upon the earlier appointment of a successor registrar and paying agent by the
City. Any such notice to the City may be served personally or sent by registered mail. The
Registrar and Paying Agent may be removed at any time as Registrar and Paying Agent by the
City, in which event the City may appoint a successor registrar and paying agent. The City shall
notify each registered owner of the Refunding Bonds then outstanding by first class mail of the
removal of the Registrar and Paying Agent. Notices to the registered owners of the Refunding
Bonds shall be deemed to be given when mailed by first class mail to the addresses of such
registered owners as they appear on the registration books kept by the Registrar.
Upon the appointment of any successor registrar and paying agent by the City, the
Controller is authorized and directed to enter into such agreements and understandings with such
successor registrar and paying agent as will enable the institution to perform the services

Works Sinking Fund continued in Section 14 hereof.
Any predecessor registrar and paying agent shall deliver all of the Refunding Bonds and
any cash or investments in its possession with respect thereto, together with the registration
books, to the successor registrar and paying agent.
The City has determined that it may be beneficial to the City to have the Refunding
Bonds held by a central depository system pursuant to an agreement between the City and The
-8-
I/3184021.1
Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("Depository Trust Company") and have
transfers of the Refunding Bonds effected by book -entry on the books of the central depository
system ("Book Entry System"). The Refunding Bonds may be initially issued in the form of a
separate single authenticated fully registered Refunding Bond for the aggregate principal amount
of each separate maturity of the Refunding Bonds. In such case, upon initial issuance, the
ownership of such Refunding Bonds shall be registered in the register kept by the Registrar in the
name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company.
With respect to the Refunding Bonds registered in the register kept by the Registrar in the
name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company, the City and the Paying
Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any other holders or owners (including any
beneficial owner ("Beneficial Owner")) of the Refunding Bonds with respect to (i) the accuracy
of the records of the Depository Trust Company, CEDE & CO., or any Beneficial Owner with
respect to ownership questions, (ii) the delivery to any bondholder (including any Beneficial
Owner) or any other person, other than the Depository Trust Company, of any notice with
respect to the Refunding Bonds including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any
bondholder (including any Beneficial Owner) or any other person, other than the Depository
Trust Company, of any amount with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on
the Refunding Bonds except as otherwise provided herein.
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 (i)
-9-
1/3184021.1
9-
1/3184021.1
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. The Paying Agent shall pay all principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on the Refunding Bonds only to or upon the order of the
Depository Trust Company, and all such payments shall be valid and effective fully to satisfy
and discharge the City's and the Paying Agent's obligations with respect to principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on the Refunding Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Upon delivery by the Depository Trust Company to the City of written notice to the effect that
the Depository Trust Company has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of CEDE &
CO., and subject to the provisions herein with respect to consents, the words "CEDE & CO." in
this ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of the Depository Trust Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, so long as any Refunding Bond is
registered in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company, all
payments with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Refunding
Bonds and all notices with respect to such Refunding Bonds shall be made and given,
respectively, to the Depository Trust Company as provided in a representation letter from the
City to the Depository Trust Company.
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
-10-
1/3184021.1
-
1/3184021.1
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.
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 the
Depository Trust Company, the Registrar shall cause said 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.
-11-
I/3184021.1
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.
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.
Interest on the Refunding Bonds shall be payable from the interest payment date to which
interest has been paid next preceding the authentication date of the Refunding Bonds unless the
Refunding Bonds are authenticated after the Record Date and on or before such interest payment
date in which case they shall bear interest from such interest payment date, or unless the
-12-
I/3184021.1
Refunding Bonds are authenticated on or before the Record Date preceding the first interest
payment date, in which case they shall bear interest from the original date of the Refunding
Bonds until the principal shall be fully paid.
Section 3. Redemption of Refunding Bonds. The Refunding Bonds are not subject to
optional redemption prior to maturity.
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 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 fund 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.
Each Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) principal amount shall be considered a separate
bond for purposes of mandatory redemption. If less than an entire maturity is called for
redemption, the Refunding Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Registrar.
-13-
I/3184021.1
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 such redemption date.
The notice shall specify the date and place of redemption and sufficient identification of the
Refunding Bonds called for redemption. The place of redemption shall be determined by the
City. Interest on the Refunding Bonds so called for redemption shall cease on the redemption
date fixed in such notice if sufficient funds are available at the principal office of the Paying
Agent to pay the redemption price on the date so named. Coincidentally with the payment of the
redemption price, the Refunding Bonds so called for redemption shall be surrendered for
cancellation.
Section 4. Execution and Negotiability. Each of the Refunding Bonds shall be
executed in the name of the City by the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor,
countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Controller, attested by the manual or
facsimile signature of the Clerk and the seal of the City shall be affixed, imprinted or impressed
to or on each of the Refunding Bonds manually, by facsimile or any other means; and these
officials, by the execution of a Signature and No Litigation Certificate, shall adopt as and for
their own proper signatures the facsimile signatures appearing on the Refunding Bonds. In case
any officer whose signature or facsimile signature appears on the Refunding Bonds shall cease to
be such officer before the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, the signature of such officer shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in
office until such delivery.
-14-
I/3184021.1
The Refunding Bonds shall have all of the qualities and incidents of negotiable
instruments under the laws of the State of Indiana, subject to the provisions for registration
herein.
The Refunding Bonds shall also be authenticated by the manual signature of the Registrar
and no Refunding Bond shall be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate
of authentication thereon has been so executed.
Section 5. Form of Bonds. The form and tenor of the Refunding Bonds shall be
substantially as follows, all blanks to be filled in properly prior to delivery:
[Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The
Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the City of

safeguarding of the interests of the owners of the sewage works refunding revenue bonds
-16-
I/3184021.1
authorized herein; other matters connected therewith; and repealing ordinances inconsistent
herewith" ("Ordinance"), and in accordance with the provisions of Indiana law, including
without limitation Indiana Code 5-1-5 and Indiana Code 36-9-23, each as in effect on the date of
delivery of the bonds (collectively, "Act"), the proceeds of which bonds are to be applied solely
to the refunding of the Refunded Bonds, including the incidental expenses incurred in connection
therewith[, and premiums for municipal bond insurance and a debt service reserve surety].
Pursuant to the provisions of the Act and the Ordinance, the principal of and interest on
this bond and all other bonds of said issue, and any bonds hereafter issued on a parity therewith
are payable solely from the Sewage Works Sinking Fund continued by the Ordinance ("Sinking
Fund") to be provided from the Net Revenues (defined as the gross revenues after deduction only
for the payment of the reasonable expenses of operation, repair and maintenance, excluding
transfers for payments in lieu of property taxes) of the sewage works of the City. This bond and
the issue of which it is a part shall rank on a parity with the Outstanding Bonds (as defined in the
Ordinance).
Pursuant to the Ordinance and the Escrow Agreement defined therein, the City has set
aside securities (purchased from the proceeds of the bonds of this issue and funds on hand of the
City) and certain cash in a Trust Account to provide payment of principal of and interest on the
Refunded Bonds by the purchase of obligations of the United States of America.
The City irrevocably pledges the entire Net Revenues of the sewage works to the prompt
payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds authorized by the Ordinance, of which this
is one, and any bonds ranking on a parity therewith, including the Outstanding Bonds, to the
extent necessary for that purpose, and covenants that it will cause to be fixed, maintained and
collected such rates and charges for services rendered by the utility as are sufficient in each year
for the payment of the proper and reasonable expenses of Operation and Maintenance (as defined
in the Financial Assistance Agreement (as defined in the Ordinance)), of the sewage works and
for the payment of the sums required to be paid into the Sinking Fund under the provisions of the
Act and the Ordinance. If the City or the proper officers thereof shall fail or refuse to so fix,
maintain and collect such rates or charges, or if there be a default in the payment of the interest
on or principal of this bond, the owner of this bond shall have all of the rights and remedies
provided for in the Act, including the right to have a receiver appointed to administer the works
and to charge and collect rates sufficient to provide for the payment of this bond and the interest
hereon.
The City further covenants that it will set aside and pay into its Sinking Fund monthly, as
available, or more often if necessary, a sufficient amount of the Net Revenues of the sewage
works for payment of (a) the interest on all bonds which by their terms are payable from the
revenues of the sewage works, as such interest shall fall due, (b) the necessary fiscal agency
charges for paying bonds and interest, (c) the principal of all bonds which by their terms are
payable from the revenues of the sewage works, as such principal shall fall due, and (d) an
additional amount as a margin of safety to [create and] maintain the debt service reserve required
by the Ordinance. Such required payments shall constitute a first charge upon all the Net
Revenues of the sewage works, on a parity with the aforementioned Outstanding Bonds.
The bonds of this issue are not subject to optional redemption prior to maturity.

Statement; Continuing Disclosure; Bond Insurance. (a) The Controller is hereby authorized and
directed to have the Refunding Bonds prepared, and the Mayor and Controller are hereby
authorized and directed to execute and attest the Refunding Bonds in the form and manner
provided herein. The Controller is hereby authorized and directed to deliver the Refunding
Bonds to the purchaser thereof after sale made in accordance with the provisions of this
ordinance, provided that at the time of said delivery the Controller shall collect the full amount
which the purchaser has agreed to pay therefor, which shall not be less than 99.5% of the par
value of the Refunding Bonds, plus accrued interest to the date of delivery, if any.
(b) The Refunding Bonds may, as determined by the Common Council, be sold at a
competitive sale as provided in Section 7 or negotiated to a purchaser pursuant to the provisions
-20-
I/3184021.1
hereof. If negotiated, the Controller is authorized to deliver the Refunding Bonds to a purchaser
to be selected by either the Mayor, the Controller, or both, with the advice of the City's financial
advisor in accordance with a Purchase Contract ("Purchase Contract"), between the City and the
purchaser of the Refunding Bonds. The Mayor and the Controller are authorized to execute the
Purchase Contract and deliver the Refunding Bonds to the purchaser so long as their terms are
consistent with this ordinance. Such Purchase Contract shall establish a final principal amount,
interest rate or rates, maturity schedule, and term bond mandatory redemptions, if any.
(c) The Controller is hereby authorized to appoint a financial institution to serve as
escrow trustee ("Escrow Trustee") for the Refunded Bonds in accordance with the terms of the
Escrow Agreement between the City and the Escrow Trustee ("Escrow Agreement"). Execution
of the Escrow Agreement is hereby approved by the Common Council, and the Mayor and the
Controller are hereby authorized and directed to complete, execute and attest the same on behalf
of the City so long as its provisions are consistent with this ordinance and the Purchase Contract.
(d) The Refunding Bonds when fully paid for and delivered to the purchaser thereof,
shall be the binding special revenue obligations of the City, payable out of the Net Revenues
(herein defined as gross revenues after deduction only for the payment of the reasonable
expenses of operation, repair and maintenance, excluding transfers for payments in lieu of
property taxes) of the sewage works, to be set aside into the Sewage Works Sinking Fund
continued in Section 14. The proper officers of the City are hereby directed to sell the Refunding
Bonds to the purchaser, to draw all proper and necessary warrants, and to do whatever acts and
things which may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this ordinance.
(e) The execution, by either the Mayor, the Controller, the purchaser, or the City's
financial advisor, of a subscription for United States Treasury Obligations -- State and Local
-21-
I/3184021.1
Government Series for investments of proceeds of the Refunding Bonds to be held under the
Escrow Agreement in a manner consistent with this ordinance is hereby approved.
(f) Distribution of an Official Statement (preliminary and final) prepared by H.J.
Umbaugh & Associates, Certified Public Accountants, LLP, on behalf of the City, is hereby
authorized and approved and the Mayor and Controller are authorized and directed to execute the
Official Statement on behalf of the City in a form consistent with this ordinance. The Mayor or
the Controller is authorized to designate the preliminary Official Statement as "nearly final" for
purposes of Rule 15c2-12 as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Rule").
(g) If the Refunding Bonds are subject to the Rule, a Continuing Disclosure
Undertaking ("Undertaking") for the Refunding Bonds is hereby authorized and approved by the
Common Council, and the Mayor and Controller are hereby authorized and directed to complete,
execute and attest the same on behalf of the City. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
ordinance, failure of the City to comply with the Undertaking shall not be considered an event of
default under the Refunding Bonds or this ordinance.
(h) In the event the financial advisor to the City certifies to the City that it would be
economically advantageous for the City to obtain a municipal bond insurance policy for the
Refunding Bonds issued hereunder, the City hereby authorizes the purchase of such an insurance
policy. The acquisition of a municipal bond insurance policy is hereby deemed economically
advantageous in the event the difference between the present value cost of (a) the total debt
service on the Refunding Bonds if issued without municipal bond insurance and (b) the total debt
service on the Refunding Bonds if issued with municipal bond insurance, is greater than the cost
of the premium on the municipal bond insurance policy. If such an insurance policy is
purchased, the Mayor and the Controller are hereby authorized to execute and deliver all
-22-
I/3184021.1
agreements with the provider of the policy to the extent necessary to comply with the terms of
such insurance policy and the commitment to issue such policy and such agreements shall be
deemed a part of this ordinance.
Section 7. Bond Sale. If the Refunding Bonds will be sold at a competitive sale,
prior to the sale of the Refunding Bonds, the Controller may cause to be published a notice of
such sale in The Evening News, the only newspaper published in the City. A notice or summary
notice of sale may also be published in the Court & Commercial Record or in The Bond Buyer in
New York, New York. The notice shall state the character and amount of the Refunding Bonds,
the maximum rates of interest thereon, the terms and conditions upon which bids will be received
and the sale made, and such other information as the Controller and the attorneys employed by
the City shall deem advisable, and any summary notice may contain any information deemed so
advisable. The notice may provide that the City reserves the right to adjust principal amounts
and maturities (an increase or a decrease) based upon interest rates and the cost of funding the
escrow. Said notice shall provide, among other things, that bidders for the Refunding Bonds will
be required to name the rate or rates of interest which the Refunding Bonds are to bear, not
exceeding the maximum rate hereinbefore fixed, and that such interest rate or rates shall be in
multiples of one-eighth (1/8), one -twentieth (1/20) or one one-hundredth (1/100) of one percent
(1%). The rate bid on a maturity shall be equal to or greater than the rate bid on the immediately
preceding maturity. The notice may provide, among other things, that the successful bidder shall
be required to submit a certified or cashier's check or a wire transfer in an amount equal to 1% of
the principal amount of the Refunding Bonds described in the notice to guarantee performance
on the part of the bidder not later than 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the next business day
following the award. In the event the successful bidder shall fail or refuse to accept delivery of
-23-
I/3184021.1
the Refunding Bonds and pay for the same as soon as the Refunding Bonds are ready for
delivery, or at the time fixed in the notice of sale, then said check and the proceeds thereof shall
be the property of the City and shall be considered as its liquidated damages on account of such
default. No conditional bids or bids for less than 99.5% of the par value of the Refunding Bonds
will be considered. The opinion of Ice Miller LLP, bond counsel of Indianapolis, Indiana,
approving the legality of the Refunding Bonds will be furnished to the purchaser at the expense
of the City.
The Refunding Bonds shall be awarded by the Controller to the best bidder who has
submitted its bid in accordance with the terms of this ordinance and the notice. The best bidder
will be the one who offers the lowest net interest cost to the City to be determined by computing
the total interest on all of the Refunding Bonds to their maturities, adding thereto the discount
bid, if any, and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any. The right to reject any and all bids
is hereby reserved. If an acceptable bid is not received on the date of sale, the sale may be
continued from day to day thereafter.
Section 8. Refunding of the Refunded Bonds and Costs of Issuance. Concurrently
with the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, the Controller shall acquire, with the proceeds of the
Refunding Bonds and cash on hand, direct obligations of or obligations the principal and interest
on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America ("Government
Obligations") to be used, together with certain cash from the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds
and cash on hand as set forth in the Escrow Agreement, to refund and legally defease the
Refunded Bonds all as set forth in the Escrow Agreement. In order to refund the Refunded
Bonds, the Controller shall deposit Government Obligations and certain cash with the Escrow
Trustee under the Escrow Agreement in an amount sufficient to provide money for payment of
-24-
I/3184021.1
the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds until the earliest date upon which the
Refunded Bonds may be called for redemption.
Costs of issuance of the Refunding Bonds not otherwise paid shall be paid from the
remaining proceeds by the Controller. When all the costs of issuance of the Refunding Bonds
have been paid, the Controller shall then transfer any amount then remaining from the proceeds
of the Refunding Bonds to the Sewage Works Sinking Fund as herein provided.
The Controller shall obtain a verification of an accountant as to the sufficiency of the
funds deposited in the Trust Account under the Escrow Agreement to accomplish said refunding
and legal defeasance of the Refunded Bonds.
Section 9. Accrued Interest. The accrued interest received at the time of delivery of
the Refunding Bonds, if any, shall be deposited in the Sewage Works Sinking Fund continued in
Section 14 and used to pay interest on the Refunding Bonds on the first interest payment date for
the Refunding Bonds.
Section 10. Financial Records and Accounts. The City shall keep proper records and
books of account, separate from all of its other records and accounts, in which complete and
correct entries shall be made showing all revenues received on account of the operation of the
sewage works and all disbursements made therefrom and all transactions relating to the utility.
Copies of all such statements and reports shall be kept on file in the office of the Controller.
Section 11. Pledge of Net Revenues. The interest on and the principal of the
Refunding Bonds issued pursuant to the provisions of this ordinance, and any bonds hereafter
issued on a parity therewith, shall constitute a first charge on all the Net Revenues, on a parity
with the Outstanding Bonds, and such Net Revenues are hereby irrevocably pledged to the
-25-
I/3184021.1
payment of the interest on and principal of such Refunding Bonds, to the extent necessary for
that purpose.
Section 12. Revenue Fund. All revenues derived from the operation of the sewage
works and from the collection of sewer and storm water rates and charges shall be deposited in
the Revenue Fund hereby ("Revenue Fund") continued. The Revenue Fund shall be maintained
separate and apart from all other accounts of the City. Out of the Revenue Fund, 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 to the works shall be paid. No moneys derived from the revenues of the sewage
works shall be transferred to any other fund of the City or be used for any purposes not
connected with the sewage works.
Section 13. Operation and Maintenance Fund. The Operation and Maintenance Fund
("O&M Fund") is hereby continued. On the last day of each calendar month, a sufficient amount
of revenues of the sewage works shall be transferred from the Revenue Fund to the O&M Fund.
The balance maintained in this Fund shall be sufficient to pay the expenses of operation, repair
and maintenance of the works for the then next succeeding two (2) 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
of the moneys in the O&M Fund shall be used for payments in lieu of property taxes
("PILOTs"), depreciation, replacements, improvements, extensions or additions. Any monies in
said Fund 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 of the sewage works.
-26-
I/3184021.1
Section 14. Sewage Works Sinking Fund. (a) The Sewage Works Sinking Fund
("Sinking Fund") is hereby continued 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 bonds. There shall be
set aside and deposited in the Sinking Fund, as available, and as hereinafter provided, a sufficient
amount of the Net Revenues of said sewage works to meet the requirements of the Bond and
Interest Account and the Debt Service Reserve Account hereby continued in the Sinking Fund.
Such payments shall continue until the balances in the Bond and Interest Account and the Debt
Service Reserve Account equal the principal of and interest on all of the then outstanding bonds
to the final maturity thereof.
(b) Bond and Interest Account. 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 of the Sinking Fund, hereby continued, an amount of the Net
Revenues equal to the sum of at least one-sixth (1/6) of the interest of all then outstanding bonds
payable on the next succeeding interest payment date, and (ii) at least one -twelfth (1/12) of the
principal on all then outstanding bonds payable on the then next succeeding principal payment
date, until the amount of interest and principal payable on the then next succeeding respective
interest and principal payment dates shall have been so credited. There shall similarly be
credited to the account any amount necessary to pay the bank fiscal agency charges for paying
principal and interest on the bonds as the same become payable. The City shall, from the sums
deposited in the Sinking Fund and credited to the Bond and Interest Account, remit promptly to
-27-
I/3184021.1
the registered owner or to the bank fiscal agency sufficient moneys to pay the interest and
principal on the due dates thereof together with the amount of bank fiscal agency charges.
(c) Debt Service Reserve Account. There is hereby continued, within the Sinking
Fund, the Debt Service Reserve Account ("Reserve Account"). On the date of delivery of the
Refunding Bonds, funds on hand of the sewage works, Refunding Bond proceeds or a
combination thereof may be deposited into the Reserve Account. If no deposit is made or if the
initial deposit does not cause the balance therein to equal the hereinafter defined Reserve
Requirement, the City shall deposit Net Revenues into the Reserve Account on the last day of
each calendar month until the balance in the Reserve Account equals but not exceed the least of
(i) maximum annual debt service on the Refunding Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds; (ii) 125%
of average annual debt service on the Refunding Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds; or (iii) 10%
of the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds ("Reserve Requirement");
provided that, for so long as any Outstanding Bonds are owned by the Authority, the Reserve
Requirement shall equal the maximum annual debt service on the Refunding Bonds and the
Outstanding Bonds and any bonds issued in the future by the City which are payable from the
Net Revenues of the sewage works and which rank on a parity with the Refunding Bonds
("Parity Bonds"). 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.
If all the 1999 Bonds have been defeased, the City may fund all or part of the Reserve
Account with a debt service reserve surety bond. The surety bond must be issued by an
insurance company rated in the highest rating category by Standard & Poor's Corporation and
Moody's Investors Service. For so long as any Outstanding Bonds are owned by the Authority as
-28-
I/3184021.1
part of the State Revolving Loan Fund program ("SRF Program"), the City shall receive the
written consent of the Authority before funding the Reserve Account with such a surety bond.
The Reserve Account shall constitute the margin for safety and protection against default in the
payment of principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds, the Outstanding Bonds and any
Parity Bonds, and the moneys in the Reserve Account shall be used to pay current principal and
interest on the Refunding Bonds, the Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Bonds to the extent that
moneys in the Bond and Interest Account are insufficient for that purpose. 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.
Section 15. Sewage Works Improvement Fund. The Sewage Works Improvement
Fund ("Improvement Fund") is hereby continued. Any excess revenues over and above the
requirements of the O&M Fund and Sinking Fund may be transferred or credited from the
Revenue Fund to the Improvement Fund, and said Fund shall be used for improvements,
replacements, additions and extensions of the sewage works and to make payments representing
PILOTs. The City reserves the right to transfer PILOTs from the Improvement Fund no more
frequently than semiannually in accordance with the Act, and only if all required transfers have
been made to the Sinking Fund and the accounts of the Sinking Fund contain the required
balances as of the date the PILOTs are paid. In no event shall any PILOTs be treated as an
expense of operation and maintenance, nor in any case shall it be payable from the O&M Fund
or the Sinking Fund. Moneys in the Improvement Fund shall be transferred to the Sinking Fund
-29-
I/3184021.1
if necessary to prevent a default in the payment of principal and interest on the then 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 16. Investments. 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 the City and
apart from the Sinking Fund account or accounts. All moneys deposited in said 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 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.
Section 17. 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 (i) sufficient moneys or (ii) direct obligations of
(including obligations issued or held in book entry form on the books of) the Department of the
Treasury, 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
-30-
I/3184021.1
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.
Section 18. Rate Covenant. The City covenants and agrees that, by ordinance of the
Council, it will establish just and equitable rates or charges for the use of and the service
rendered by said 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; that such rates or charges
shall be sufficient in each year to provide for the payment of the proper and reasonable expenses
of Operation and Repair, as defined in 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 and to
comply with and satisfy all covenants contained in this ordinance and the Financial Assistance
Agreement. Such rates and charges shall, if necessary, be changed and readjusted from time to
time so that 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 19. Additional Bond Provisions. The City reserves the right to authorize and
issue additional Parity Bonds payable out of the Net Revenues of its sewage works ranking on a
parity with the Refunding Bonds for the purpose of financing the cost of future additions,
extensions and improvements to the sewage works, or to refund obligations, subject to the
following conditions:
-31-

(a) All required payments into the Sinking Fund shall have been made in accordance
with the provisions of this ordinance, and the interest on and principal of all bonds payable from
the Net Revenues of the sewage works shall have been paid to date in accordance with their
terms. The Reserve Requirement shall be satisfied for the additional Parity Bonds either at the
time of delivery of the additional Parity Bonds or over a five year or shorter period, in a manner
which is commensurate with the requirements established in Section 14 of this ordinance.
(b) The Net Revenues of the sewage works in the fiscal year immediately preceding
the issuance of any such Parity Bonds shall be not less than one hundred twenty-five percent
(125%) of the maximum annual interest and principal requirements of the then outstanding
bonds and the additional Parity Bonds proposed to be issued; or, prior to the issuance of the
Parity Bonds, the sewage rates and charges shall be increased sufficiently so that said increased
rates and charges applied to the previous fiscal year's operations would have produced Net
Revenues for said year equal to not less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the
maximum annual interest and principal requirements of all bonds payable from the revenues of
the sewage works, including the additional Parity Bonds proposed to be issued.
For purposes of this subsection, the records of the sewage works shall be analyzed and all
showings prepared and certified by a certified public accountant employed by the City for that
purpose, who shall certify that he has no pecuniary interest in said additions, extensions, and
improvements or the financing thereof in any way whatsoever other than to analyze the records
of said sewage works and to prepare said showings.
(c) The interest on the additional Parity Bonds shall be payable semiannually on the
first days of January and July and the principal of, or mandatory sinking fund redemption dates
for, the additional Parity Bonds shall be payable annually on January 1.
-32-
I/3184021.1
(d) So long as any Outstanding Bonds are outstanding and owned by the Authority as
part of the SRF Program, (i) the City obtains the consent of the Authority, (ii) the City has
faithfully performed and is in compliance with each of its obligations, agreements and covenants
contained in the Financial Assistance Agreement and this ordinance, and (iii) the City is in
compliance with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits, except for non-
compliance for which purpose the Parity Bonds are issued, including refunding bonds issued
prior to, but part of the overall plan to eliminate such non-compliance.
Section 20. Further Covenants of the City; Maintenance, Insurance, Pledge Not To
Encumber, Subordinate Indebtedness, and Contract with Bondholders. For the purpose of
further safeguarding the interests of the owners of the Refunding Bonds, it is hereby specifically
provided as follows:

maintain the sewage works system in good condition, and operate the same in an efficient
manner and at a reasonable cost.
(b) So long as any of the Refunding Bonds are outstanding, the City shall maintain
insurance on the insurable parts of said works, of a kind and in an amount, including fidelity
bonds, such as would normally be carried by private corporations engaged in a similar type of
business and, so long as any Outstanding Bonds are owned by the Authority as part of its SRF
Program, acceptable to the Authority. All insurance shall be placed with responsible insurance
companies qualified to do business under the laws of the State of Indiana. All insurance
proceeds shall be used in replacing or repairing the property destroyed or damaged, unless, so
long as the Outstanding Bonds are owned by the Authority as part of its SRF Program, the
Authority consents to a different use.

I/3184021.1
(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, nor shall it 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, the City shall obtain the
prior written consent of the Authority so long as any Outstanding Bonds are owned by the
Authority as part of its SRF Program.
(d) For so long as any 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 19 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 said sewage works 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.
(fl The City shall take all action or proceedings necessary and proper, to the extent
permitted by law, to require connection of all property where liquid and solid waste, sewage,
night soil or industrial waste is produced with available sanitary sewers. The City shall, insofar
as possible, and to the extent permitted by law, cause all such sanitary sewers to be connected
with said sewage works.

(g) The provisions of this ordinance shall constitute a contract by and between the
City and the owners of the Refunding Bonds herein authorized, and after the issuance of the
Refunding Bonds, this ordinance shall not be repealed or amended in any respect which will
adversely affect the rights or interests of the owners of the Refunding Bonds, nor shall the
Common Council adopt any law, ordinance or resolution which in any way adversely affects the
rights of the bondholders so long as any of the Refunding Bonds, or the interest thereon, remain
unpaid. Except in the case of changes described in Section 21(a) -(f), this ordinance may be
amended, however, without the consent of Bondowners, if the Common Council determines, in
its sole discretion, that such amendment would not adversely affect the owners of the Refunding
Bonds.
(h) The provisions of this ordinance shall be construed to create a trust in the
proceeds of the sale of the Refunding Bonds herein authorized for the uses and purposes herein

same are applied in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance and of the governing Act.
The provisions of this ordinance shall also be construed to create a trust in the Net Revenues
herein directed to be set apart and paid into the Sinking Fund for the uses and purposes of that
Fund as in this ordinance set forth. The owners of the Refunding Bonds shall have all the rights,
remedies and privileges set forth in the provisions of the governing Act hereinbefore referred to,
including the right to have a receiver appointed to administer said sewage works, in the event the
City shall fail or refuse to fix and collect sufficient rates and charges for those purposes, or shall
fail or refuse to operate and maintain said system and to apply the revenues derived from the
operation thereof, or if there be a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of
-35-

the Bonds or in the event of default in respect to any of the provisions of this ordinance or the
governing Act.
Section 21. Amendments with Consent of Bondholders. Subject to the terms and
provisions contained in this section, and not otherwise, the owners of not less than sixty-six and
two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) in aggregate principal amount of the Refunding Bonds issued
pursuant to this ordinance and then outstanding shall have the right from time to time, anything
contained in this ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding, to consent to and approve the
adoption by the Common Council of the City of such ordinance or ordinances supplemental
hereto or amendatory hereof, as shall be deemed necessary or desirable by the City for the
purpose of modifying, altering, amending, adding to or rescinding in any particular manner any
of the terms or provisions contained in this ordinance, or in any supplemental ordinance;
provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall permit or be construed as permitting:
(a) An extension of the maturity of the principal of or interest on, or any mandatory
sinking fund redemption date for, any Refunding Bond issued pursuant to this ordinance; or
(b) A reduction in the principal amount of any Refunding Bond or the rate of interest
thereon; or
(c) The creation of a lien upon or a pledge of the revenues or Net Revenues of the
sewage works ranking prior to the pledge thereof created by this ordinance; or
(d) A preference or priority of any Refunding Bond or Refunding Bonds issued
pursuant to this ordinance over any other Refunding Bond or Refunding Bonds issued pursuant
to the provisions of this ordinance; or
(e) A reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Refunding Bonds required
for consent to such supplemental ordinance; or
-36-
I/3184021.1
(f) A reduction in the Reserve Requirement.
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 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 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. Upon the adoption of any supplemental ordinance
pursuant to the provisions of this section, this ordinance shall be, and shall be deemed, modified
and amended in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, duties and obligations under this
ordinance of the City and all owners of Refunding Bonds then outstanding, shall thereafter be
determined, exercised and enforced in accordance with this ordinance, subject in all respects to
such modifications and amendments. 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 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
-37-
I/3184021.1
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 sewage works projects funded with 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 Refunded 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 from time to time,
so that the contract will not give rise to private business use under the Code and the Regulations,
unless such use in aggregate relates to no more than 10% of the proceeds of the Refunding
Bonds.
-38-
I/3184021.1
(b) No more than 10% of the principal of or interest on the Refunding Bonds over the
Combined Measurement Period, will be or 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 during 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).
-39-
I/3184021.1
(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 not be 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) These covenants are based solely on current law in effect and in existence on the
date of delivery of such Refunding Bonds.
(i)
The City covenants that it will rebate any arbitrage profits to the United States to
the extent required by the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Section 23. Noncompliance with Tax Covenants. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this ordinance, the covenants and authorizations contained in this ordinance ("Tax
Sections") which are designed to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Refunding Bonds from
gross income under federal law ("Tax Exemption") need not be complied with if the City
receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that any Tax Section is unnecessary to
preserve the Tax Exemption.
Section 24. Conflicting Ordinances. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict
herewith are hereby repealed; provided, however, that this ordinance shall not be deemed as (i)
-40-
I/3184021.1
amending or repealing the ordinances authorizing the Outstanding Bonds or (ii) adversely
affecting the rights of the owners of the Refunded Bonds or the Outstanding Bonds.
Section 25. Headings. The headings or titles of the several sections shall be solely for
convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning, construction or effect of this
ordinance.
Section 26. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and
after its passage and execution by the Mayor.
