Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account.
There may be established by any ordinances authorizing the issuance of any series of Senior Lien Parity Bonds one or more other Subaccounts in the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account with respect to one or more series of Senior Lien Parity Bonds.

principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Lien Bonds to which those various Subaccounts relate) as the same become due at any time when there are insufficient funds available for such purpose in the Senior Lien Principal and Interest Account (after any available amounts in the Water Rate Stabilization Account have first been applied to that purpose).
(iii) All or any part of the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Requirement for any series of Senior Lien Bonds may be met by deposit with the City of one or more Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instruments. A Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument shall, for purposes of determining the value of the amounts on deposit in the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account and the Subaccount or Subaccounts to which it relates, be valued at the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument Coverage for such Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument except as provided in the next sentence. If a Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument is to terminate (or is subject to termination) prior to the last principal payment date on any Outstanding Senior Lien Bond of the series of Senior Lien Bonds to which it relates, then the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument Coverage of that Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument shall be reduced each year, beginning on the date which is four years prior to the first date on which the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument is to terminate (or is subject to termination), by 25 percent of the coverage in each of the years remaining prior to such date, provided that if by the terms of the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument and the terms of the related Senior Lien Bond ordinance, the City has the right and duty to draw upon such Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument prior to its termination for deposit in the related Subaccount of the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account (if and to the extent a substitute Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument is not deposited in that related Subaccount) all or part of its Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument Coverage, then the reduction shall be in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Requirement for that series of Senior Lien Bonds and (B) the sum of the amounts on deposit in the related Subaccount of the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account and the amount which the City may draw under the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument prior to its termination for deposit in the related Subaccount of the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account. Any amounts in any Subaccount of the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account which are not required to be transferred to the Senior Lien Principal and Interest Account may, from time to time, be used to pay costs of acquiring a Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument for that Subaccount or to make payments due under a Senior Lien Bond Reimbursement Agreement with respect to such Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument, but only if after such payment, the value of the amounts on deposit in such Subaccount of the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account shall not be less than the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Requirement for that series of Senior Lien Bonds. The City pledges and grants a lien on and security interest in the amounts on deposit in the Subaccounts of the Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account to any Senior Lien Bond Provider with respect to the particular Subaccount corresponding to such Senior Lien Bond Provider's Senior Lien Debt Service Reserve Account Credit Instrument, provided

In the event any such Series 2016A Bond has matured, instead of issuing a substitute Series 2016A Bond the City may pay the same without surrender of such Series 2016A Bond. The City and the Trustee may charge the Registered Owner of such Series 2016A Bond with their reasonable fees and expenses in this connection. All Series 2016A Bonds so surrendered to the Trustee shall be canceled and destroyed, and evidence of such destruction shall be given to the City. Upon the date of final maturity or redemption of all of the Series 2016A Bonds, the Trustee shall destroy any inventory of unissued certificates.
All duplicate Series 2016A Bonds issued and authenticated pursuant to this Section shall constitute original, contractual obligations of the City (whether or not, in the case of the first paragraph of this Section, lost, stolen or destroyed Series 2016A Bonds be at any time found by' anyone), and shall be entitled to equal and proportionate rights and benefits under this Ninth Supplemental Indenture as all other Outstanding Series 2016A Bonds issued under this Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

Transfer and Exchange of Series 2016A Bonds; Persons Treated as Owners, (a) Subject to the limitations contained in subsection (c) of this Section, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Series 2016A Bond at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the Bondholder or such Bondholder's attorney duly authorized in writing, the City shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Series 2016A Bond or Bonds of like date and tenor in Authorized Denominations of the same Maturity Date and interest rate for the aggregate principal amount which the Registered Owner is entitled to receive bearing numbers not contemporaneously Outstanding. Subject to the limitations contained in subsection (c) of this Section, Series 2016A Bonds may be exchanged at such times at such designated corporate trust office of the Trustee upon surrender of such Series 2016A Bond together with an assignment duly executed by the Registered Owner of such Series 2016A Bonds or such Registered Owner's attorney in such form and with guarantee of signature as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee for an equal aggregate principal amount of Series 2016A Bonds of like date and tenor of any Authorized Denomination as the Series 2016A Bonds surrendered for exchange bearing numbers not contemporaneously Outstanding. The execution by the City of any Series 2016A Bond of any Authorized Denomination shall constitute full and due authorization of such Authorized Denomination, and the Trustee shall thereby be authorized to authenticate and deliver such registered Series 2016A Bond.
No service charge shall be imposed upon the Registered Owners for any exchange or transfer of Series 2016A Bonds. The City and the Trustee may, however, require payment by the person requesting an exchange or transfer of Series 2016A Bonds of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to such exchange or transfer, except in the case of the issuance of one or more Series 2016A Bonds for the unredeemed portion of a Series 2016A Bond surrendered for redemption in part.
The Trustee shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Series 2016A Bond during the period commencing on the Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date of such Series 2016A Bond and ending on such Interest Payment Date, or to transfer or exchange such Series 2016A Bond after the mailing of notice calling such Series 2016A Bond for redemption has been made as provided in this Ninth Supplemental Indenture or during the period of 15 days next preceding the giving of notice of redemption of Series 2016A Bonds of the same Maturity Date and interest rate.
Series 2016A Bonds delivered upon any registration of transfer or exchange as provided in this Section 2.07 or as provided in Section 2.08 hereof shall be valid limited obligations of the City, evidencing the same debt as the Series 2016A Bonds surrendered, shall be secured by the Indenture and shall be entitled to all of the security and benefits of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture to the same extent as the Series 2016A Bond surrendered.
The City, the Trustee and any Paying Agent may treat the Registered Owner of any Series 2016A Bond as the absolute owner of such Series 2016A Bond for all purposes, whether or not such Series 2016A Bond shall be overdue, and shall not be bound by any notice to the contrary. All payments of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any such Series 2016A Bond as provided in this Ninth Supplemental Indenture shall be made only to or upon the written order of the Registered Owner of such Series 2016A Bond or such Registered Owner's legal representative, but such registration may be changed as provided in this Ninth Supplemental Indenture. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to
15
satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Series 2016A Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Section 2.08. Cancellation. Any Series 2016A Bond surrendered for the purpose of payment or retirement, or for exchange, transfer or replacement, shall be canceled upon surrender of such Series 2016A Bond to the Trustee or any Paying Agent. If the City shall acquire any of the Series 2016A Bonds, the City shall deliver such Series 2016A Bonds to the Trustee for cancellation and the Trustee shall cancel the same. Any such Series 2016A Bonds canceled by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall be promptly transmitted by such Paying Agent to the Trustee. Certification of Series 2016A Bonds canceled by the Trustee and Series 2016A Bonds canceled by a Paying Agent other than the Trustee which are transmitted to the Trustee shall be made to the City. Canceled Series 2016A Bonds may be destroyed by the Trustee unless instructions to the contrary are received from the City. Upon the date of final maturity or redemption of all Series 2016A Bonds, the Trustee shall destroy any inventory of unissued certificates.
Section 2.09. Book-Entry Provisions. The provisions of this Section shall apply as long as the Series 2016A Bonds are maintained in book-entry form with DTC or another Securities Depository, any provisions of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding.
Payments of the principal of and interest on the Series 2016A Bonds shall be made to the Securities Depository, or its nominee, as the Registered Owner of the Series 2016A Bonds, in same day funds on each date on which the principal of, premium; if any, and interest on the Series 2016A Bonds is due as set forth in this Ninth Supplemental Indenture and the Series 2016A Bonds. Such payments shall be made to the offices of the Securities Depository specified by the Securities Depository to the City and the Trustee in writing. Without notice to or the consent of the beneficial owners of the Series 2016A Bonds, the City and the Securities Depository may agree in writing to make payments of principal and interest in a manner different from that set forth herein. If such different manner of payment is agreed upon, the City shall give the Trustee written notice thereof, and the Trustee shall make payments with respect to the Series 2016A Bonds in the manner specified in such notice as set forth herein. Neither the City nor the Trustee shall have any obligation with respect to the transfer or crediting of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2016A Bonds to Participants or the beneficial owners of the Series 2016A Bonds or their nominees.
The Registered Owners of the Series 2016A Bonds have no right to the appointment or retention of a Securities Depository for the Series 2016A Bonds. If (i) the City determines, or (ii) the City receives notice that the Securities Depository has received notice from its Participants having interests in at least 50 percent in principal amount of the Series 2016A Bonds that the Securities Depository or its successor is incapable of discharging its responsibilities as a securities depository, or that it is in the best interests of the beneficial owners that they obtain certificated Series 2016A Bonds, the City may (or, in the case of clause (ii) above, the City shall) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver Series 2016A Bond certificates. The City shall have no obligation to make any investigation to determine the occurrence of any events that would permit the City to make any determination described in this paragraph.
If, following a determination or event specified in paragraph (b) above, the City discontinues the maintenance of the Series 2016A Bonds in book-entry form with the then current Securities Depository, the City will issue replacement Series 2016A Bonds to the
16
replacement Securities Depository, if any, or, if no replacement Securities Depository is selected for the Series 2016A Bonds, directly to the Participants as shown on the records of the former Securities Depository or, to the extent requested by any Participant, to the beneficial owners of the Series 2016A Bonds shown on the records of such Participant. Replacement Series 2016A Bonds shall be in fully registered form and in Authorized Denominations, be payable as to interest on the Interest Payment Dates of such Series 2016A Bonds by check mailed to each Registered Owner at the address of such Registered Owner as it appears on the Bond Register or, at the option of any Registered Owner of not less than $1,000,000 principal amount of Series 2016A Bonds, by wire transfer to any address in the United States of America on such Interest Payment Date to such Registered Owner as of such Record Date, if such Registered Owner provides the Trustee with written notice of such wire transfer address not later than the Record Date (which notice may provide that it will remain in effect with respect to subsequent Interest Payment Dates unless and until changed or revoked by subsequent notice). Principal and premium, if any, on the replacement Series 2016A Bonds are payable only upon presentation and surrender of such replacement Series 2016A Bond or Bonds at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee.
The Securities Depository and its Participants, and the beneficial owners of the Series 2016A Bonds, by their acceptance of the Series 2016A Bonds, agree that the City and the Trustee shall not have liability for the failure of such Securities Depository to perform its obligations to the Participants and the beneficial owners of the Series 2016A Bonds, nor shall the City or the Trustee be liable for the failure of any Participant or other nominee of the beneficial owners to perform any obligation of the Participant to a beneficial owner of the Series 2016A Bonds.
As long as Cede & Co. is the Registered Owner of the Series 2016A Bonds, as nominee of DTC, references herein to the Registered Owners of the Series 2016A Bonds shall mean Cede & Co. and shall not mean the beneficial owners of the Series 2016A Bonds.
As long as Cede & Co. is the Registered Owner of the Series 2016A Bonds:
selection of Series 2016A Bonds to be redeemed upon partial redemption or presentation of such Series 2016A Bonds to the Trustee upon partial redemption shall be deemed made when the right to exercise ownership rights in such Series 2016A Bonds through DTC or DTC's Participants is transferred by DTC on its books; and
DTC may present notices, approvals, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be made by Registered Owners under this Ninth Supplemental Indenture on a fractionalized basis on behalf of some or all of those persons entitled to exercise ownership rights in the Series 2016A Bonds through DTC or its Participants.

whole or in part, on any date on or after [ 1, 20 ], and if in part, in such

[ 1, 20 ] (collectively, the "Term Bonds') are subject to mandatory sinking
fund redemption prior to maturity in part, selected as provided in Section 3.05, at a redemption price of [100 percent] of the outstanding principal amount of such Series 2016A Bonds to be so
redeemed, on [ 1] of the years and in the amounts shown below, plus accrued

(b) In lieu of redeeming the Term Bonds pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund redemption provisions described above, on or before the 60th day next preceding any mandatory sinking fund redemption date for such Term Bonds, the Trustee may, at the written direction of the Chief Financial Officer, use such funds available under the Indenture to purchase Term Bonds in the open market at a price not exceeding par plus accrued interest.
On or before the 60th day next preceding any mandatory sinking fund redemption date for the Term Bonds (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the City may, at its option, (i) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation, Term Bonds or portions thereof in Authorized Denominations subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption or (ii) receive a credit in respect of its mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation for Term Bonds or portions thereof in Authorized Denominations which prior to said date have been redeemed (otherwise than through the operation of such mandatory sinking fund redemption) and canceled by the Trustee and not theretofore applied as a credit against any mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation. Each Term Bond or portion thereof subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption so delivered or previously redeemed will be credited against future mandatory sinking fund redemption obligations on Term Bonds in such order as the City designates, or if no such designation is made, in chronological order, the principal amount of such Term Bonds to be redeemed by operation of such mandatory redemption to be accordingly reduced.]
Section 3.03. Make-Whole Optional Redemption.
[Series 2016A Bonds of each maturity are subject to redemption at the option of the City in whole or in part at any time at the redemption price that is the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount of the Series 2016A Bonds to be redeemed and (B) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest to the maturity date of the Series 2016A Bonds to be redeemed, not including any portion of those payments of interest
18
accrued and unpaid as of the date on which the Series 2016A Bonds are to be redeemed, discounted to the date on which the Series 2016A Bonds are to be redeemed on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate (as
defined below) plus [ ] basis points plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Series 2016A
Bonds to be redeemed on the redemption date.
"Treasury Rate" means, as of any redemption date, the yield to maturity as of such redemption date of United States Treasury Securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical H.15 (519)) that has become publicly available not more than 45 days and not less than four Business Days prior to the redemption date (excluding inflation-indexed securities) (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to the maturity date of the Series 2016A Bonds to be redeemed; provided however, that if the period from the redemption date to such maturity date is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used.
The redemption price of the Series 2016A Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to the Make-Whole Optional Redemption provision described above will be determined by an independent accounting firm, investment banking form or financial advisor retained by the City at the City's expense to calculate such redemption price. The Trustee and the City may conclusively rely on such determination of redemption price by such independent accounting firm, investment banking firm or financial advisor and will not be liable for such reliance.]
Section 3.04. Redemption Terms; Notice of Redemption.
Series 2016A Bonds may be called for redemption by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof upon receipt by the Trustee at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) of a written request of the City requesting such redemption. [Term Bonds shall be called for redemption by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof without further request or direction from the City or any other party.] [Series 2016A Bonds may be called for redemption by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof upon receipt by the Trustee at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) of a written request of the City requesting such redemption.]
Unless waived by any owner of Series 2016A Bonds to be redeemed, notice of the call for any [optional, mandatory redemption or optional make-whole redemption pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02 or Section 3.03 hereof] shall be given by the Trustee on behalf of the City by mailing the redemption notice by first class mail at least 30 days and not more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Registered Owner of the Series 2016A Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such Registered Owner to the Trustee, but the failure to mail any such notice or any defect therein as to any Series 2016A Bond to be redeemed shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Series 2016A Bond to be redeemed. Any notice of redemption mailed as provided in this Section shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not actually received by the addressee.
All notices of redemption shall specify, at a minimum: (i) the series name and designation and certificate numbers of Series 2016A Bonds being redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP numbers of the Series 2016A Bonds being redeemed, (iii) the principal amount of Series 2016A

With respect to an optional redemption of any Series 2016A Bonds, such notice may state that said redemption is conditioned upon the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for redemption of moneys sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Series 2016A Bonds being redeemed. If such moneys are not so received, such redemption notice shall be of no force and effect, the City shall not redeem such Series 2016A Bonds and the Trustee shall give notice, in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received and that such Series 2016A Bonds will not be redeemed. Unless the notice of redemption shall be made conditional as provided above, on or prior to any redemption date for Series 2016A Bonds, the City shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Series 2016A Bonds or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.
(d) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Series 2016A Bonds, or portions thereof, so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date (unless the redemption has been canceled as described in Section 3.04(c) hereof), become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the City shall default in the payment of the redemption price) such Series 2016A Bonds, or portions thereof, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Series 2016A Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Series 2016A Bonds shall be paid by the Trustee at the redemption price. Installments of interest due on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable as herein provided for payment of interest. Upon surrender for any partial redemption of any Series 2016A Bond, there shall be prepared for the Registered Owner a new Series 2016A Bond or Bonds of the same interest rate and maturity in the amount of the unpaid principal. If any Series 2016A Bond, or portion thereof, called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the redemption date at the rate borne by such Bond, or portion thereof, so called for redemption.
Section 3.05. Selection of Series 2016A Bonds for Redemption. In the event of the redemption of fewer than all the Series 2016A Bonds of the same interest rate and maturity, the aggregate principal amount thereof to be redeemed shall be in an Authorized Denomination, and the Trustee shall assign to each Series 2016A Bond of such interest rate and maturity a distinctive number for each minimum Authorized Denomination of such Bond and shall select by lot from the numbers so assigned as many numbers as, at such minimum Authorized Denomination for each number, shall equal the principal amount of such Series 2016A Bonds to be redeemed. The Series 2016A Bonds to be redeemed shall be those to which were assigned numbers so selected; provided that only so much of the principal amount of each Series 2016A Bond shall be redeemed as shall equal such minimum Authorized Denomination for each number assigned to it and so selected. For purposes of any redemption of fewer than all of the outstanding Series 2016A Bonds of a single interest rate and maturity, the particular Series 2016A Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee.
