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.

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.

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.
