such purpose pursuant to Section 4.06(B)(4) hereof, shall be inadequate to fully provide for
such insufficiency; provided moneys shall be transferred to the aforementioned Accounts from
the Sewer Connection Fees Fund and the Water Connection Fees Fund on a pro-rata basis or
such other basis as the Issuer deems appropriate in relation to the amount of moneys in each
Fund at the time of transfer. Any moneys transferred to the aforementioned Accounts described
above shall be treated as an interfund loan and shall be repaid, together with reasonable interest
thereon, from Gross Revenues as described in Section 4.06(B)(8) hereof on or prior to the date
such amounts are needed for the purposes described in Sections 4.08(B) and (C) hereof, but in no
event later than one year from the date of such transfer, unless the Issuer shall determine that
such transfer constitutes a lawful use of such Sewer Connection Fees.
(B) To the extent permitted by law, to pay or reimburse the capital cost of acquiring
and/or constructing such improvements or additions to the sewer facilities of the System for
which the Sewer Connection Fees were imposed in accordance with the requisitions for
disbursement of moneys provided by the Issuer.
(C) To be used for any other lawful purpose relating to the System.
SECTION 4.09. REBATE FUND. Amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall
be held in trust by the Issuer and used solely to make required rebates to the United States
(except to the extent the same may be transferred to the Revenue Fund) and the Bondholders
shall have no right to have the same applied for debt service on the Bonds. For any Series of
Bonds for which the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code are applicable, the Issuer
agrees to undertake all actions required of it in its arbitrage certificate relating to such Series of
Bonds, including, but not limited to:
(A) making a determination in accordance with the Code of the amount required to be
deposited in the Rebate Fund;
(B) depositing the amount determined in clause (A) above into the Rebate Fund;
(C) paying on the dates and in the manner required by the Code to the United States
Treasury from the Rebate Fund and any other legally available moneys of the Issuer such
amounts as shall be required by the Code to be rebated to the United States Treasury; and
(D) keeping such records of the determinations made pursuant to this Section 4.09 as
shall be required by the Code, as well as evidence of the fair market value of any investments
purchased with proceeds of the Bonds.
The provisions of the above-described arbitrage certificates may be amended without the
consent of any Holder, Credit Bank or Insurer from time to time as shall be necessary, in the
opinion of Bond Counsel, to comply with the provisions of the Code.
SECTION 4.10. RATE STABILIZATION FUND. The Issuer may transfer into
the Rate Stabilization Fund such moneys which are on deposit in the Utility Reserve Fund as it
deems appropriate. The Issuer may transfer such amount of moneys from the Rate Stabilization
Fund to the Revenue Fund as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that on or prior to each
principal and interest payment date for the Bonds (in no event earlier than the 25th day of the
41
month next preceding such payment date), moneys in the Rate Stabilization Fund shall be
applied for the payment into the Interest Account, the Principal Account and the Term Bonds
Redemption Account when the moneys therein are insufficient to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds coming due, but only to the extent moneys transferred from the Utility
Reserve Fund and Renewal and Replacement Fund for such purposes pursuant to Sections
4.06(B)(8) and 4.06(B)(5) hereof, together with moneys available in the Reserve Account for
such purpose pursuant to Section 4.06(B)(4) hereof, shall be inadequate to fully provide for such
insufficiency.

Construction Fund, the Sinking Fund, the Water Connection Fees Fund, the Sewer Connection
Fees Fund, the Operation and Maintenance Fund, the Special Assessments Fund, the Utility
Reserve Fund, the Rate Stabilization Fund and the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall be
continuously secured in the manner by which the deposit of public funds are authorized to be
secured by the laws of the State. Moneys on deposit in the Construction Fund, the Revenue
Fund, the Operation and Maintenance Fund, the Special Assessments Fund, the Principal
Account, the Interest Account, the Term Bonds Redemption Account, the Renewal and
Replacement Fund, the Water Connection Fees Fund, the Sewer Connection Fees Fund, the Rate

invested in Authorized Investments, maturing no later than ten years from the date of investment.
All investments shall be valued at cost; provided, however, that the amounts on deposit in the
Reserve Account shall be valued at the market price thereof. Investments in the Reserve
Account shall be valued by the Issuer on an annual basis as of April 1 of each year.
Any and all income received from the investment of moneys in each separate account of
the Revenue Fund, the Construction Fund, the Interest Account, the Principal Account, the Term
Bonds Redemption Account, the Utility Reserve Fund, the Renewal and Replacement Fund (to
the extent such income and other amounts in such Fund do not exceed the Renewal and
Replacement Fund Requirement), the Water Connection Fees Fund, the Sewer Connection Fees
Fund, the Utility Reserve Fund, the Rate Stabilization Fund and the Reserve Account (to the
extent such income and the other amounts in the Reserve Account does not exceed the Reserve
Account Requirement), shall be retained in such respective Fund or Account.
Any and all income received from the investment of moneys in the Renewal and

such income and the other amounts in the Reserve Account exceeds the Reserve Account
Requirement), shall be deposited upon receipt thereof in the Revenue Fund. Any and all income
received from the investment of moneys in the Special Assessments Fund shall be deposited
upon receipt thereof into the Interest Account.
Nothing in this Resolution shall prevent any Authorized Investments acquired as
investments of or security for funds held under this Resolution from being issued or held in
book-entry form on the books of the Department of the Treasury of the United States.

SECTION 5.02. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. The Issuer will maintain
or cause to be maintained the System and all portions thereof in good condition and will operate
or cause to be operated the same in an efficient and economical manner, making or causing to be
made such expenditures for equipment and for renewals, repairs and replacements as may be
proper for the economical operation and maintenance thereof. The Issuer may contract with a

SECTION 5.03. ANNUAL BUDGET. The Issuer shall annually prepare and
adopt, prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year, an Annual Budget in accordance with
applicable law. No expenditure for Operating Expenses shall be made in any Fiscal Year in
excess of the aggregate amount provided for Operating Expenses in the Annual Budget until the
Governing Body shall have approved the increased expenditures by resolution or ordinance.
If for any reason the Issuer shall not have adopted the Annual Budget before the first day
of any Fiscal Year, other than the first Fiscal Year, the preliminary budget for such year, if it be
approved by the Consulting Engineers or Rate Consultant, or otherwise the Annual Budget for
the preceding Fiscal Year, shall be deemed to be in effect for such Fiscal Year until the Annual
Budget for such Fiscal Year is adopted.
The Issuer shall mail copies of such Annual Budgets and amended Annual Budgets and

SECTION 5.04 RATES. The Issuer shall fix, establish, maintain and collect such
rates, fees and charges for the product, services and facilities of the System, and revise the same

Year equal to at least 110% of the Annual Debt Service becoming due in such Fiscal Year, plus
100% of (A) any amounts required by the terms hereof to be deposited in the Reserve Account or
with any issuer of a Reserve Account Letter of Credit or Reserve Account Insurance Policy in
such Fiscal Year to pay Policy Costs, and (B) any amounts required by the terms of Sections
4.07(A) and 4.08(A) hereof to be repaid to the Water Connection Fees Fund and Sewer

this Section 5.04, it shall promptly cause the Rate Consultant to review its rates, fees, charges,
income, Gross Revenues, Operating Expenses, Connection Fees and methods of operation and to
make written recommendations as to the methods by which the Issuer may seek to comply with
the requirements set forth in this Section 5.04. The Issuer shall forthwith commence to
implement such recommendations to the extent required so as to cause it to thereafter comply
with said requirements. So long as the Issuer implements such recommendations within 120
