the market value of the gross plant of
the System, an Officer's Certificate of the Borrower shall determine that one or more of the
conditions for sale, lease or disposition of property provided for in the second paragraph of this
Section 5.19 have been met; or (2) if the amount to be received from such sale, lease or other
disposition of said property shall be in excess of five percent (5%) of the market value of the
gross plant of the System, (a) the Borrower and the Consulting Engineers shall each first make a
finding in writing determining that one or more of the conditions for sale, lease or other
disposition of property provided for in the second paragraph of this Section 5.19 have been met,
(b) the Governing Body shall, by resolution, duly adopt, approve and concur in the finding of the
Officer's Certificate and the Consulting Engineers, and (c) the Borrower shall obtain an opinion
of Bond Counsel to the effect that such sale, lease or other disposition is not in violation of the
Act and will not adversely affect the federal tax exempt status of interest on the Bonds (other
than the Series 2014B Bonds) or shall not otherwise affect the status of any Outstanding Bonds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.19, the Borrower shall have
the authority to sell for fair and reasonable consideration any land comprising a part of the
System which is no longer necessary or useful in the operation of the System.
The Borrower may make contracts or grant licenses for the operation of, or grant
easements or other rights with respect to, any part of the System if such contract, license,
easement or right does not, in the opinion of the Consulting Engineers, as evidenced by a
certificate to that effect filed with the Borrower, impede or restrict the operation by the Borrower
of the System, but any payments to the Borrower under or in connection with any such contract,
license, easement or right in respect of the System or any part thereof shall constitute Gross
Revenues.
SECTION 5.20. INSURANCE. The Borrower will carry such insurance as is
ordinarily carried by private or public entities owning and operating utilities similar to the
System with a reputable insurance carrier or carriers, in such amounts as the Borrower shall
determine to be sufficient, and such other insurance against loss or damage by fire, explosion,
hurricane, tornado or other hazards and risks, and said property loss or damage insurance shall at
all times be in an amount or amounts equal to the fair appraisal value of the buildings, properties,
furniture, fixtures and equipment of the System, or such other amount or amounts as the
Consulting Engineers or an insurance consultant who has a favorable reputation and experience
and is qualified to survey risks and to recommend insurance coverage for Persons engaged in
operations similar to the System, shall recommend or approve as sufficient.
The Borrower may establish certain levels of insurance for which the Borrower may self-
insure. Such levels of insurance shall be in amounts as recommended in writing by an insurance
16
consultant who has a favorable reputation and experience and is qualified to survey risks and to
recommend insurance coverage for Persons engaged in operations similar to the System.
The proceeds from property loss and casualty insurance shall, together with other
available funds of the Borrower, be used to repair or replace the damaged portion of the System;
provided, however, if the Issuer makes a determination in accordance with Section 5.19 hereof
that such portion of the System is no longer necessary or useful in the operation of the System,
such proceeds shall (1) if such proceeds equal or exceed $500,000, (a) be applied to the
redemption or purchase of Bonds or (b) be deposited in irrevocable trust for the payment of
Bonds in the manner set forth in the Bond Indenture, provided the Borrower has received an
opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such deposit shall not adversely affect the exclusion,
if any, from gross income of interest on the Outstanding Bonds for purposes of federal income
taxation (other than the Series 2014B Bonds) and will not otherwise affect the status of any
Outstanding Bonds, or (2) if such proceeds are less than $500,000, be used for lawful purposes
of the System.
SECTION 5.21. NO FREE SERVICE. The Borrower will not render or cause to
be rendered any free services of any nature by its System, nor will any preferential rates be
established for users of the same class; provided, however, the foregoing clause shall not be
construed to prevent the Borrower from establishing various classes of users based on any factors
deemed necessary or desirable by the Borrower. Different rates may be established for different
classes.
SECTION 5.22. NO IMPAIRMENT OF RIGHTS. The Borrower will not enter
into any contract or contracts, nor take any action, the results of which might impair the rights of
the Holders of the Bonds.
SECTION 5.23. ENFORCEMENT OF CHARGES. The Borrower shall compel
the prompt payment of rates, fees and charges imposed in connection with the System, and to
that end will vigorously enforce all of the provisions of any requirement of the Borrower having
to do with System connections and charges, and all of the rights and remedies permitted the
Borrower under law, including the requirement for the making of a reasonable deposit by each
user and the requirement for lawful disconnection of services for all premises delinquent in the
payment of any duly invoiced bill.
SECTION 5.24. CONSULTING ENGINEERS. The Borrower shall employ
Consulting Engineers, whose duties shall be to make any certificates and perform any other acts
required or permitted of the Consulting Engineers under this Loan Agreement, and also to review
the construction and operation of the System, to make an inspection of the System at least once
every three years, and to submit to the Borrower a report with recommendations as to the proper
maintenance, repair and operation of the System, including recommendations for expansion and
additions to the System to meet anticipated service demands, and an estimate of the amount of
money necessary for such purposes. Copies of such reports, recommendations and estimates
made as hereinabove provided shall be filed with the Borrower for inspection by Bondholders, if
such inspection is requested.

provided that, if such default cannot with due diligence and dispatch be wholly cured within 60
days but can be wholly cured, the failure of the Borrower to remedy such default within such 60-
day period shall not constitute a default hereunder if the Borrower shall immediately upon
receipt of such notice commence with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such default and,
having so commenced the curing of such default, shall thereafter prosecute and complete the
same with due diligence and dispatch; or
(c) if any representation or warranty made by the Borrower herein or in any statement
or certificate furnished to the Issuer, the Bond Trustee or the purchaser of any Bonds in
connection with the sale of the Bonds or furnished by the Borrower pursuant hereto proves

under any bankruptcy law or similar law for the relief of debtors under federal or State law are
instituted by or against the Borrower (other than bankruptcy proceedings instituted by the
Borrower against third parties) and, if instituted against the Borrower, are not dismissed, stayed
or otherwise nullified within 60 days after institution; or

Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

agreement or covenant of the Borrower under this Loan Agreement, or any other document to
which the Borrower is a party associated with the issuance of the Bonds, or (iii) to otherwise
enforce any of its rights.

impairs any rights or remedies consequent thereon.
The Borrower will give Immediate Notice to the Issuer and the Bond Trustee of any
event of default.

proceeds or avails resulting from the exercise of any such remedies, together with any other sums
