Bonds ("Registrar" or "Paying Agent"). The Registrar is hereby charged with the responsibility of
authenticating the Refunding Bonds. The Controller is hereby authorized to enter into such agreements or
understandings with the Registrar as will enable the institution to perform the services required of a registrar
and paying agent. The Controller is further authorized to pay such fees as the Registrar may charge for the
services it provides as Registrar and Paying Agent, and such fees may be paid from the Sewage Works
Sinking Fund established to pay the principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds as fiscal agency
charges.
The principal of the Refunding Bonds shall be payable at the principal corporate trust office of the
Paying Agent. All payments of interest on the Refunding Bonds shall be paid by check, mailed one business
day prior to the interest payment date to the registered owners thereof as the names appear as of the fifteenth
day of the month preceding the interest payment date ("Record Date") and at the addresses as they appear
on the registration books kept by the 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 made by wire transfer on the payment date in same-day funds. If the payment date occurs on a date when
financial institutions are not open for business, the wire transfer shall be made on the next succeeding
business day. The Paying Agent shall be instructed to wire transfer payments by 1:00 p.m. (New York City
time) so that such payments are received at the depository by 2:30 p.m. (New York City time). All payments
5
on the Refunding Bonds shall be made in any coin or currency of the United States of America, which on
the date of such payment, shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
Each Refunding Bond shall be transferable or exchangeable only upon the books of the City kept
for that purpose at the principal corporate trust office of the Registrar by the registered owner in person, or
by its attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender of such Refunding Bond together with a written
instrument of transfer or exchange satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the registered owner, or its
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new fully registered Refunding Bond or Refunding
Bonds in an authorized aggregate principal amount and of the same maturity and series 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 Refunding Bonds may treat and consider the person in whose name such
Refunding Bonds are registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes including for the purpose of
receiving payment of, or on account of,the principal thereof and interest due thereon.
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 required of a registrar and paying agent
6
for the Refunding Bonds. The Controller is further authorized to pay such fees as the successor registrar and
paying agent may charge for the services it provides as registrar and paying agent, and such fees may be
paid from the Sewage 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 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 of a series. 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
7
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) 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 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
8
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.
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
9
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 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 of a series shall be subject to
optional redemption prior to maturity as determined by the City Controller prior to the sale of the Refunding
Bonds.
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
10
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, that the Paying Agent shall credit such Refunding Bonds
maturing as term bonds only 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 or optional redemption. If less than an entire maturity of a series is called for
redemption,the Refunding Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Registrar.
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,and 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.
11
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.

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
14
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 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% of the par value of the Refunding Bonds will be
considered. The opinion of Barnes & Thornburg 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 2009 Refunded Bonds and to effect a cross-over refunding of(but not legally defease)
the 201013 Refunded Bonds, all as set forth in the Escrow Agreement. In order to refund the 2009 Refunded
Bonds and to effect a cross-over refunding of the 2010B Refunded Bonds, the Controller shall deposit
Government Obligations and/or certain cash with the Escrow Trustee under the Escrow Agreement in an
15
amount sufficient to provide money for the refunding of the 2009 Refunded Bonds and the cross-over
refunding of the 2010B Refunded Bonds.
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 the refunding and legal
defeasance of the 2009 Refunded Bonds and the cross-over refunding of the 2010B Refunded Bonds.
Section 9. Accrued Interest. The accrued interest received at the time of delivery of the Refunding
Bonds of a series, if any, shall be deposited into the Sewage Works Sinking Fund continued in Section 14
and used to pay interest on the Refunding Bonds of such series on the first interest payment date for such
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 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 into the Revenue Fund
("Revenue Fund") hereby continued. The Revenue Fund shall be maintained separate and apart from all
16
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.
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 into 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 payable from the Net Revenues to the final maturity thereof.
(b) Bond and Interest Account. There shall be credited on the last day of each calendar month
17
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 into the Sinking Fund and credited to the Bond and Interest Account,
remit promptly to 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"). There is hereby created in the Reserve Account two
separate reserve subaccounts hereby designated as the "Cash Reserve Subaccount" and the "Surety Reserve
Subaccount." All funds on deposit in the Reserve Subaccount as of the date of issuance of the Refunding
Obligations shall be transferred to the Cash Reserve Subaccount.
The Cash Reserve Subaccount shall secure all outstanding bonds payable from the Net Revenues
(other than Surety Reserve Obligations, as defined below), including without limitation (A)(i) principal and
interest on the 2010B Bonds through and including January 1, 2019; (ii) interest on the 2010B Bonds due on
January 1, 2020; (ii) any portion of the principal of the 2010B Bonds maturing on January 1, 2020, that is
not cross-over refunded by the 2017A Bonds; and (iii) any bonds issued in the future by the City that are
payable from the Net Revenues of the Sewage Works and that rank on a parity with any outstanding bonds
payable from the Net Revenues of the Sewage Works("Parity Bonds")that are secured by the Cash Reserve
Subaccount; but excluding (B)(i) the 2017A Bonds; (ii) 2017B Bonds; and (iii) any portion of the principal
of the 2010B Bonds maturing on January 1, 2020, that is cross-over refunded by the 2017A Bonds (such
obligations secured by the Cash Reserve Account being referred to collectively herein as the "Cash Reserve
Obligations"). The City shall deposit Net Revenues into the Cash Reserve Account on the last day of each
18
calendar month until the balance in the Cash Reserve Account equals but not exceed the least of (i)
maximum annual debt service on the Cash Reserve Obligations; (ii) 125%of average annual debt service on
the Cash Reserve Obligations; or(iii) 10% of the proceeds of the Cash Reserve Obligations("Cash Reserve
Subaccount Reserve Requirement"); provided that, for so long as any Outstanding Bonds are owned by the
Authority,the Cash Reserve Subaccount Reserve Requirement shall equal the maximum annual debt service
on the Cash Reserve Obligations.
The Cash Reserve Subaccount shall constitute the margin for safety and protection against default
in the payment of principal of and interest on the Cash Reserve Obligations, and the moneys in the Cash
Reserve Subaccount shall be used to pay current principal and interest on the Cash Reserve Obligations to
the extent that moneys in the Bond and Interest Account are insufficient for that purpose.
The City shall deposit into the Surety Reserve Subaccount on the date of issuance of the Refunding
Bonds either cash or one or more surety bonds equal in the aggregate to the least of (i)the maximum annual
debt service on (A) the 2017A Refunding Bonds coming due after January 1, 2020 (but excluding any
principal and interest on the 2017B Bonds payable through January 1, 2020), (B)the 2017B Bonds, and (C)
any Parity Bonds issued in the future by the City that are secured by the Surety Reserve Subaccount
(collectively, the "Surety Reserve Obligations"); (ii) 125% of average annual debt service on the Surety
Reserve Obligations; or (iii) 10% of the proceeds of the Surety Reserve Obligations ("Surety Reserve
Subaccount Reserve Requirement"); provided, however, that for so long as any Outstanding Bonds are
owned by the Authority, the Surety Reserve Subaccount Reserve Requirement shall equal the maximum
annual debt service on the Surety Reserve Obligations. Such surety bond or bonds must be issued by an
insurance company rated in one of the two highest rating categories by either Standard& Poor's Corporation
or Moody's Investors Service. The Surety Reserve Subaccount shall secure only the Surety Reserve
Obligations.
The Surety Reserve Subaccount shall constitute the margin for safety and protection against default
in the payment of principal of and interest on the Surety Reserve Obligations, and the moneys in the Surety
Reserve Subaccount shall be used to pay current principal and interest on the Surety Reserve Obligations,to
19
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 (subject to the terms of any
surety bond in the case of the Surety Reserve Subaccount)promptly be made up from the next available Net
Revenues remaining after credits into the Bond and Interest Account. Any moneys in the Cash Reserve
Subaccount in excess of the Cash Reserve Subaccount Reserve Requirement shall (unless otherwise
required pursuant to the terms of any surety bond) either be transferred to the Sewage Works Improvement
Fund or be used for the purchase of outstanding Cash Reserve Obligations or installments of principal of
Cash Reserve Obligations. Any moneys in the Surety Reserve Subaccount in excess of the Surety Reserve
Subaccount Reserve Requirement shall either be transferred to the Sewage Works Improvement Fund or be
used for the purchase of outstanding Surety Reserve Obligations or installments of principal of Surety
Reserve Obligations.
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 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
20
account or accounts and subaccounts from all other accounts or subaccounts 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 or subaccounts. All moneys deposited into said accounts or
subaccounts 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 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,
21
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:
(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. In the case of additional
Parity Bonds that the City elects at the time of the sale thereof to be secured by the Cash Reserve
Subaccount of the Reserve Account, the Cash Reserve Subaccount 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. In the case of additional Parity Bonds that the City elects at the time of the sale thereof
(subject to the prior written consent of the Authority)to be secured by the Surety Reserve Subaccount of the
Reserve Account, the Surety Reserve Subaccount Reserve Requirement shall be satisfied for the additional
Parity Bonds at the time of delivery of the additional Parity Bonds, 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
22
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.
(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 (including specifically the Authority's
additional consent for any additional Parity Bonds to be secured by the Surety Reserve Subaccount), (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:
(a) So long as any of the Refunding Bonds are outstanding, the City shall at all times maintain
the sewage works system in good condition, and operate the same in an efficient manner and at a reasonable
23
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 any of the Outstanding Bonds are owned by the Authority as part of its SRF
Program,the Authority consents to a different use.
(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, that 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.
(f) The City shall take all action or proceedings necessary and proper, to the extent permitted
24
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 set forth, and the owners of
the Refunding Bonds shall retain a lien on such proceeds until the 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 the Refunding 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
25
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
(f) A reduction in either the Cash Reserve Subaccount Reserve Requirement or the Surety
Reserve Subaccount 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 of a series 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 of such series 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
26
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 of such series 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 as an inducement to purchasers of the
Refunding Bonds, the City represents, covenants and agrees, with respect to the 2017A Refunding Bonds
and the 2010B Refunded Bonds, and with respect to the 2017B Refunding Bonds and the 2009 Refunded
Bonds, as applicable,and, as follows:
(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
27
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 2017-13, 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.
(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
28
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).
(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

refunding revenue bonds for such purpose; providing for the collection, segregation and
distribution of the revenues of the sewage works and the safeguarding of the interests of the
owners of the sewage works refunding revenue bonds 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

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

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.

or after at a redemption price equal to % of the par amount thereof[plus a
premium of %].
