It is hereby found and determined that: (A) For the benefit of its inhabitants, the Issuer presently owns and operates the Facilities, and the Project is necessary for the continued preservation of the health, welfare, convenience and safety of the Issuer and its inhabitants. (B) The Issuer has been advised by its consulting engi- neers and it is hereby found and determined that the estimated Cost of the Project is $1,200,000, which shall be financed ulti- mately with the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds and which shall be finanaced initially with the proceeds of the sale of the Notes. The balance of such Cost shall be paid from a federal grant in the amount of $500,000. -4- • \J (C) The revenues to be derived annually from the Rates and the Excise Taxes will be sufficient to pay, as the same shall become due and payable, the principal of and interest on the Prior Lien Obligations, the Parity Obligations and the Bonds and Operating Expenses. It is estimated that the period of use- fulness of the Facilities will exceed forty-one years. (D) It is deemed necessary and desirable to pledge the Pledged Funds to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and the Notes. No part of the Pledged Funds have been pledged or hypothecated except with respect to the Notes, the Bonds and the Parity Obligations, except that the Pledged Funds have been pledged first to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Prior Lien Obligations. The Original Instrument, in Section 3.04(J) thereof provides for the issuance of addi- tional parity obligations under the terms, limitations and con- ditions provided therein; and the Issuer will issue the Bonds as additional parity obligations pursuant to written consent of the Government, owner and holder of all of the Parity Obligations, and its waiver of the provisions of Section 3.04(J) of the Original Instrument which are not otherwise complied with. The Bonds shall be payable on a parity and rank equally as to lien on and source and security for payment from the Pledged Funds, and in all other respects, with the Farity Obligations. (E) This Instrument is declared to be and shall consti- tute a contract between the Issuer and the Holders; and the covenants and agreements herein set forth to be performed by the Issuer are and shall be for the equal benefit, protection and security of all of the Holders of any and all of the Bonds and the Notes, all of which shall be of equal rank and without pref- erence, priority or distinction of any of the Bonds or the Notes over any other, except as hereinafter provided. (F) The Issuer is not, under this Instrument, obligated to levy any ad valorem taxes on any real or personal property situated within its corporate territorial limits to pay the prin- cipal of or interest on the Bonds or the Notes or to pay Operating Expenses. Neither the Bonds nor the Plotes shall constitute a lien upon the Facilities or any other property of the Issuer or situated within its corporate territorial limits. The Bonds shall not be issued until the contract or contracts for the constuction of the Project shall have been finally let. (G) Pursuant to a loan agreement entered into by and between the Issuer and the Government, the Government has contracted to purchase the Bonds from the Issuer upon substantial completion of the Project. It is necessary and urgent that funds be made immediately available in order to provide money for the commencement of the Project at this time and for the continued construction of the Project until its substantial completion. -5- • The Issuer must therefore, anticipate the receipt by it of the proceeds to be derived from the sale of the Bonds, and the Issuer has determined that it is in the best interest of the Issuer and its residents and inhabitants that the Notes be issued pursuant to this Instrument in anticipation of the receipt by the Issuer of the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds. (H) In the event that the Issuer shall be unable to market the Notes in the private sector, the Government has agreed to purchase the Bonds in the form of the single bond instrument set out in Section 2.08 of this Instrument, the proceeds of which Bond shall be drawn down in installments, paid by the Government to the Issuer as the same shall be needed by the Issuer from time to time for the payment of items of the Cost of the Project. 1.04 Project Authorized. The Project is hereby authorized. ARTICLE II AUTHORIZATION, TERMS, EXECUTION AND REGISTRATION 2.01 Authorization of Bonds. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Instrument, obligations of the Issuer to be known as "Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1982," are hereby authorized to be issued in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000) for the purpose of providing funds to pay the principal of the Notes on the maturity date thereof and thereby provide the long-term financing of a part of the Cost of the Project, or for the pur- pose of providing funds directly to pay a part of the Cost of the Project in the event that the Issuer shall elect not to issue the Notes pursuant to Section 5.03 of this Instrument. 2.02 Description of Bonds. The Bonds shall be dated as of the date of their delivery; shall bear interest at a rate or rates not exceeding the maximum rate permitted by law, payable on September 1, 1982 and annually thereafter on September 1 of each year; and shall be issued as a single fully-registered Bond payable in installments in such amounts and on September 1 of such years, not exceeding 40 years from its date, or as coupon Bonds registrable as to both principal and interest, numbered consecutively from one upward in order of maturity, in the deno- mination of $1,000 each and maturing on September 1 in such years, not exceeding 40 years from their date, and amounts as the Issuer shall hereafter by resolution provide. 2.03 Places of Payment. The Bonds and the Notes shall be payable as to both principal and interest at such place or places as the Issuer shall hereafter by resolution designate, in -6- • • lawful money of the United States of America; provided, however, that Bonds held by the Government shall be payable at "Finance Office, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farmers Home Administration, 1520 Market Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63103," or at such other places as the Government shall from time to time in writing designate to the Issuer. The Bonds shall bear interest from the date of issue, and in the case of coupon Bonds in accordance with and upon surrender of the appurtenant interest coupons as they severally mature, unless registered. 2.04 Provisions for Redemption. In this section the word "Bonds" shall be deemed to include the respective installments of principal of the fully-registered single Bond corresponding to the serially maturing coupon Bonds. Bonds maturing on or before September 1, 1991 are not subject to redemption prior to their respective stated dates of maturity. Bonds maturing September 1, 1992 and thereafter shall be redeemable, at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, in inverse numerical and maturity order, on September 1, 1991 or on any interest payment date thereafter at par and accrued interest, plus the following premiums, expressed as percentages of the par value of the Bonds so redeemed, if redeemed in the following years: 5$, if redeemed on September 1, 1991 or thereafter, to and including September 1, 1993; 4$, if redeemed on September 1, 1994 or thereafter, to and including September 1, 1998; 3$, if redeemed on September 1, 1999 or thereafter, to and including September 1, 2002; 2~, if redeemed on September 1, 2003 or thereafter, to and including September 1, 2006; 1$, if redeemed on September 1, 2007 or thereafter, to and including September 1, 2010; Without premium, if redeemed on September 1, 2011 or thereafter, but prior to maturity; provided, however, that at least thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date written notice of such redemption shall be given to the paying agents for the Bonds and to each of the registered owners at their respective addresses as they appear upon the registration books of the Clerk and shall be published at least once in a financial newspaper published in the City of New York, New York. Bonds held by the Government may be redeemed by the Issuer on any interest payment date prior to maturity at the price of par and accrued interest, without premium. -7- • If the Bonds shall be issued on September 1, 1982 or thereafter each of the dates in this section shall be deferred by one year for each year or fraction of a year that the issuance of the Bonds shall be deferred beyond August 31, 1982 and all other dates in this Instrument shall be deferred correspondingly. 2.05 Execution of Bonds and Notes. The Bonds and the tJotes shall be executed in the name of the Issuer with the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor and the corporate seal of the Issuer shall be impressed or imprinted thereon, attested and countersigned with the manual or facsimile signature of the Clerk, provided that the signature of at least one of such offi- cers shall be manually executed thereon. In case any one or more of the officers who shall have signed or sealed any of the Bonds or Notes or whose facsimile signature shall appear thereon shall cease to be such officer of the Issuer before the Bonds or Notes so signed and sealed have been actually sold and delivered such Bonds or Notes may nevertheless be sold and delivered as herein provided and may be issued as if the person who signed or sealed such Bonds or Notes had not ceased to hold such office. Any Bond or Note may be signed and sealed on behalf of the Issuer by such person who at the actual time of the execution of such Bond or Note shall hold the proper office of the Issuer, although at the date of such Bonds or Notes such person may not have held such office or may not have been so authorized. Coupons attached to either the Bonds or the Notes shall be authenticated with the facsimile signatures of any present or future Mayor and Clerk. The Issuer may adopt and use for such purposes the facsimile signatures of any such persons who shall have held such offices at any time after the date of the adoption of this Instrument, notwithstanding that either or both shall have ceased to hold such office at the time the Bonds or the Notes shall be actually sold and delivered. 2.06 Negotiability, Registration and Exchange. The Bonds and the Notes shall be and shall have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under the law merchant and the Laws of the State of Florida, and each successive Holder, in accepting any of the Bonds or the tdotes shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the same shall be and have all of said qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments. The coupon Bonds may be registered, at the option of the Holder, as to both principal and interest upon the books kept for the registration and transfer of Bonds by the Clerk, as Bond Registrar, and endorsed upon the Bonds by the Bond Registrar in the space provided thereon. After such registration, no transfer of the Bonds shall be valid unless made at the office of the Bond Registrar by the registered owner or by his duly authorized agent or representative and similarly noted on the Bonds, but at the expense of the Holder the Bonds may be discharged from registra- -8- u • tion by being in like manner transferred to bearer, and thereupon transferability by delivery shall be restored. At the option and expense of the Holder, the Bonds may thereafter again from time to time be registered or transferred to bearer as before. The Bond Registrar shall not be required to make any such registra- tion or transfer of Bonds during fifteen (15) days next preceding an interest payment date on the Bonds, or in the case of any pro- posed redemption of Bonds, after such Bonds have been selected for redemption. The person in whose name any Bond shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of or on account of the principal of any Bond and the interest on any Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or his legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond including the interest thereon to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. If issued as registrable, the Notes may be registered at the option of the Holder as to principal only or as to both prin- cipal and interest at the office of the Clerk, as Registrar, or such other Registrar as may be hereafter duly appointed, such registration to be noted on the back of the dotes in the space provided therefor. After such registration as to principal only or as to both principal and interest, no transfer of the Notes shall be valid unless made at such office by written assignment of the registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney in a form satisfactory to the Registrar and similarly noted on the Notes, but the Notes may be discharged from registration by being in like manner transferred to bearer and thereupon trans- ferability by delivery shall be restored. At tl~e option of the Holder, the Notes may thereafter again from time to time be registered or transferred to bearer as before. Registration as to principal only shall not affect the negotiability of the coupons which shall continue to pass by delivery. At the expense of the Holder, the single fully- registered Bond may be exchanged by the Holder at any time, not more than ninety days after surrender of such Bond to the Bond Registrar, for an equal aggregate principal amount of coupon Bonds maturing in the years and amounts corresponding to the years and amounts of the unpaid installments of principal of the single fully-registered Bond and in the form prescribed for coupon Bonds in Section 2.08 of this Instrument; and if all of the coupon Bonds outstanding shall be owned and held by a single Holder such Bonds may, in like manner, be exchanged at the expense of such Holder at any time, not more than ninety days after surrender of such Bonds to the Bond Registrar, for a single fully-registered Bond in principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such coupon Bonds surrendered, maturing in installments in the years and amounts corresponding to the years -9- • • and amounts of the maturities of such coupon Bonds so surrendered and in the form prescribed for the single Bond in Section 2.08 of this Instrument. 2.07 Bonds and Notes Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost. In case any Bond or Note shall become mutilated, or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer may in its discretion issue and deliver a new Bond or Note of like tenor as the Bond or Note so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substi- tution for such mutilated Bond or Note, upon surrender and can- cellation of such mutilated Bond or Note, or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond or Note destroyed, stolen or lost, and upon the Holder furnishing the Issuer satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other reasonable regulations and conditions as the Issuer may prescribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer may incur. All Bonds or Notes so surrendered shall be cancelled by the Clerk. If any such Bonds or Notes shall have matured or be about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute Bond or Note the Issuer may pay the same, upon being indemnified as aforesaid, and if such Bond or Note be lost, stolen or destroyed, without surrender thereof. Any such duplicate Bonds or Notes issued pursuant to this section shall constitute original, additional contractual obliga- tions on the part of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Bonds or Notes be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate Bonds or Notes shall be entitled to equal and pro- portionate benefits and rights as to lien on and source and security for payment from the funds, as hereinafter pledged, to the same extent as all other Bonds or Notes issued hereunder. 2.08 Form of Bonds. The text of the Bonds shall be in substantially the following forms, with only such omissions, insertions and variations as may be necessary and/or desirable and approved by the Mayor or the Clerk prior to the issuance thereof (which necessity and/or desirability and approval shall be presumed by such officer's execution of the Bonds and the Issuer's delivery of the Bonds to the Government or other purchaser thereof}: -10- (FORM OF COUPON BOND) No. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA STATE OF FLORIDA COUNTY OF LAKE CITY OF CLERMONT WATER AND SEWER REVENUE BOND, SERIES 1982 $1,000 KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that the City of Clermont, a municipal corporation created and existing under and by virtue of the Laws of the State of Florida (the "Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the bearer, or if this Bond be registered to the registered holder as herein provided, on the first day of September, 19 solely from the special funds hereinafter mentioned, the principal sum of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS and to pay interest thereon, from the date of the delivery of this Bond to the purchaser hereof, solely from said special funds, at the rate of per centum ( ~) per annum, payable on September 1, 1982 and annually thereafter on the first day of September of each year upon the presentation and surrender of the annexed coupons as they severally fall due, unless registered. Both principal of and interest on this Bond are payable at , in lawful money of the United States of America. This Bond is one of an authorized issue of Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $700,000 of like date, tenor and effect, except as to number and date of maturity, issued to finance a part of the cost of acquiring, erecting and constructing extensions and improvements to the sewer facilities of the combined municipal water and sewer system of the Issuer (the "Facilities"), under the authority of and in full compliance with the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Florida, par- ticularly Part II, Chapter 166, Florida Statutes (1981), and a resolution duly adopted by the Issuer on May 27, 1975, as supple- mented by a resolution duly adopted by the Issuer on July 22, 1980, and particularly as supplemented by a resolution duly adopted by the Issuer on 1982, as further supple- mented (collectively, the "Resolution"), and is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Resolution. This Bond and the interest hereon are payable solely from and secured by a lien upon and a pledge of the revenues to be derived from the operation of the Facilities and certain municipal Excise Taxes (defined in the Resolution), in the manner described in the Resolution. It is expressly agreed by the -11- • • holder of this Bond that the full faith and credit of the Issuer are not pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on this Bond and that such holder shall never have the right to require or compel the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the Issuer to the payment of such principal and interest or the cost of maintaining, repairing and operating the Facilities. This Bond and the obligation evidenced hereby shall not consti- tute a lien upon the Facilities or any part thereof or upon any other property of the Issuer or situated within its corporate territorial limits, but shall constitute a lien only on the revenues to be derived from the operation of the Facilities and the Excise Taxes. The Bonds of this issue are payable on a parity, equally and ratably, from such revenues and Excise Taxes with the Issuer's outstanding Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1975, dated January 25, 1977 and Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1980, authorized to be issued pursuant to said resolution adopted by the Issuer on July 22, 1980 (jointly, the "parity obligations"). The lien in favor of the holders of the Bonds of the issue of which this Bond is one on the revenues of the Facilities and the Excise Taxes is junior, subordinate and inferior in every respect to the lien on such revenues and Excise Taxes in favor of the Issuer's outstanding Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds dated November 1, 1970 and eater and Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1972, dated November 1, 1972 (jointly, the "prior lien obligations"). The Issuer in the Resolution has covenanted and agreed with the holders of the Bonds of the issue of which this Bond is one that it will not hereafter issue any additional obli- gations payable from the revenues of the Facilities and the Excise Taxes on a parity with the prior lien obligations. In and by the Resolution, the Issuer has covenanted and agreed with the holders of the Bonds of this issue that it will fix, establish, revise from time to time whenever necessary, maintain and collect always such fees, rates, rentals and other charges for the use of the product, services and facilities of the Facilities which, together with the Excise Taxes, will always produce cash revenues sufficient to pay, and out of such funds pay, as the same shall become due, the principal of and interest on the parity obligations, the prior lien obligations and the Bonds, the necessary expenses of operating and maintaining the Facilities and all reserve, Sinking Fund or other payments required by the Resolution, and that such rates, rentals, fees and other charges will not be reduced so as to be insufficient to provide funds for such purposes, and that it will levy and collect the Excise Taxes at such rates, not exceeding the maximum rates permitted by law, as shall be necessary to provide funds which, together with the revenues of the Facilities, will be suf- -12- • • ficient to pay, and out of such funds pay, as the same shall become due, the principal of and interest on the parity obliga- tions, the prior lien obligations and the Bonds, the necessary expenses of operating and maintaining the Facilities and all reserve, Sinking Fund or other payments required by the Resolution, and that the rates of such Excise Taxes will not be reduced so as to be insufficient to provide funds for such pur- poses. As provided in the Resolution, this Bond and all of the Bonds then outstanding are exchangeable at the expense of the holder or registered owner hereof at any time, not less than ninety days after surrender of this Bond and all of the Bonds then outstanding to the Clerk hereinafter mentioned, as Bond Registrar, for a single fully-registered Bond in the denomination equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Bond plus all of the Bonds then outstanding and in the form of such single Bond as provided for in the Resolution. The Bonds of this issue maturing on or before September 1, 1991 are not subject to redemption prior to their respective stated dates of maturity. Bonds maturing September 1, 1992 and thereafter shall be redeemable, at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, in inverse numerical and maturity order, on September 1, 1991 or on any interest payment date thereafter at par and accrued interest, plus the following premiums, expressed as percentages of the par value of the Bonds so redeemed, if redeemed in the following years: 5~, if redeemed on September 1, 1991 or thereafter, to and including September 1, 1993; 4$, if redeemed on September 1, 1994 or thereafter, to and including September 1, 1998; 3~, if redeemed on September 1, 1999 or thereafter, to and including September 1, 2002; 2$, if redeemed on September 1, 2003 or thereafter, to and including September 1, 2006; 1$, if redeemed on September 1, 2007 or thereafter, to and including September 1, 2010; With out premium, if redeemed on September 1, 2011 or ther eafter, but prior to maturit y; provided, however, that notice of such redemption shall be given in the manner required by the Resolution. It is hereby certified and recited that all acts, con- ditions, and things required to exist, to happen and to be per- -13- A y formed precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond, exist, have happened and have been performed, in regular and due form and time as required by the Laws and Constitution of the State of Florida applicable thereto, and that the issuance of this Bond, and of the issue of Bonds of which this Bond is one, does not violate any constitutional, statutory or charter limitations or provisions. This Bond and the coupons appertaining hereto are and have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under the law merchant and the Laws of the State of Florida. This Bond may be registered as to both principal and interest in accordance with the provisions endorsed hereon.

No Holder shall ever have the right to compel the exercise of any ad valorem taxing power to pay any Bond or coupon or Note or Operating Expenses, or be entitled to payment of such Bond or coupon or Note from any moneys of the Issuer except from the Pledged Funds or, in the case of the Notes, the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds or the sale of bond anticipation notes issued to extend and renew the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, in the manner provided herein. 3.02 Security for Bonds and Notes.

The Reserve Account established by the Original Instrument shall be applicable pro rata to the Bonds in the same manner as applicable to the Parity Obligations.

(F) Arbitrage. The Issuer covenants that it will not make any investments or acquiese in the making of any investments by any depository pursuant to or under the provisions of this Instrument which could cause the Notes or the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 103(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and the applicable regulations issued thereunder.
