This requirement applies to Recipients that are public agencies. (b) Pledge of Net Revenues. The Obligation hereunder shall be secured by a lien on and pledge of Net Revenues in priority as specified in Exhibit F. The Recipient hereby pledges and grants such lien on and pledge of Net Revenues to secure the Obligation, including payment of Installment Payments and Additional Payments hereunder. The Net Revenues in the Enterprise Fund shall be subject to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and the lien of such pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the Recipient. (c) Application and Purpose of the Enterprise Fund. Subject to the provisions of any outstanding System Obligations, money on deposit in the Enterprise Fund shall be applied and used first, to pay Operations and Maintenance Costs, and thereafter, all amounts due and payable with respect to the System Obligations.

This requirement applies to Recipients that are public agencies. (d) Rates, Fees and Charges. The Recipient agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to fix, prescribe and collect rates, fees and charges for the System during each Fiscal Year which are reasonable, fair and nondiscriminatory and which will be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year Net Revenues equal to the debt service on System Obligations, including the Obligation, for such Fiscal Year. The Recipient may make adjustments from time to time in such fees and charges and may make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but shall not reduce the rates,fees and charges then in effect unless the Net Revenues from such reduced rates, fees and charges will at all times be sufficient to meet the requirements of this section. The Recipient agrees to promptly challenge any initiative that would impair the Obligation and publicly state its opposition to any rate challenges.

To the extent allowed by requirements of other funding sources, any funding received in excess of the Recipients local share, not to exceed the total • • amount of the CWSRF financing assistance, shall be remitted to the State Water Board to be applied to Installment Payments due hereunder. ARTICLE IV TAX COVENANTS 4.1 Governmental Unit.• • The Recipient is a state or local governmental unit as defined in Section 1.103-1 of the Treasury Regulations or an instrumentality thereof(a"Governmental Unit")and is not the federal government or any agency or instrumentality thereof. The Recipient exclusively owns and, except as provided in Section 4.7 hereof, operates the Project. 4.2 Temporary Period. • The Recipient reasonably expects that at least eighty-five percent(85%) of the Project Funds will be allocated to expenditures for the Project within three (3)years of the earlier of the effective date of this Agreement or the date the Bonds are issued("Applicable Date"). The Recipient has incurred, or • reasonably expects that it will incur within six(6) months of the Applicable Date, a substantial binding obligation (i.e., not subject to contingencies within the control of the Recipient or a related party) to a third party to expend at least five percent(5%)of the Project Funds on the costs of the Project. The completion of acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of the Project and the allocation of Project Funds to expenditures for the Project will proceed with due diligence. 4.3 Working Capital. • No operational expenditures of the Recipient or any related entity are being, have been or will be financed or refinanced with Project Funds. 4.4 Expenditure of Proceeds. Project Funds shall be used exclusively for the following purposes: (i)architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing, and similar costs paid with respect to the Project incurred prior to the commencement of construction and in an aggregate amount not exceeding twenty percent(20%)of • the Project Funds, (ii)capital expenditures relating to the Project originally paid by the Recipient on or after the date hereof, (iii) interest on the Obligation through the later of three(3)years after the Applicable Date or one (1)year after the Project is placed in service, and(iv) initial operating expenses directly associated with the Project in the aggregate amount not more than five percent (5%)of the.Project Funds. 4.5 Private Use and Private Payments. • None of the Project Funds or the Project are, have been or will be used in the aggregate for any activities that constitute a Private Use(as defined below). None of the principal of or interest with respect to the Installment Payments will be secured by any interest in property(whether or not the Project) used for a Private Use or in payments in respect of property used for a Private Use, or will be • derived from payments in respect of property used for a Private Use. "Private Use"means any activity that constitutes a trade or business that is carried on by persons or entities, other than a Governmental Unit. The leasing of the Project or the access by or the use of a person or entity other 14 • • - -- City of Seal Beach • Agreement No.: 10-838-550 Project No.: C-06-5310-110 than a Governmental Unit on a basis other than as a member of the general public shall constitute a Private Use. 4.6 No Disproportionate or Unrelated Use. None of the Project Funds or the Project are, have been or will be used for a Private Use that is unrelated or disproportionate to the governmental use of the Project Funds. 4.7 Management and Service Contracts. With respect to management and service contracts, the determination of whether a particular use constitutes Private Use shall be determined on the basis of applying Section 1.141-3(b)(4)of the Treasury Regulations and Revenue Procedure 97-13 and other applicable rules and regulations. As of the date hereof, none of the Project Funds or the Project are being used to provide property • subject to contracts or other arrangements with persons or entities engaged in a trade or business (other than Governmental Units) that involve the management of property or the provision of services that do not comply with the standards of the Treasury Regulations and Revenue Procedure 97-13. Except to the extent the Recipient has received an opinion of counsel expert in the issuance of state and local government bonds the interest on which is excluded from gross income under Section 103 of the Code("Nationally-Recognized Bond Counsel") and satisfactory to the State Water Board and the Bank to the contrary, the Recipient will not enter into any management or service contracts with any person or entity that is not a Governmental Unit for services to be provided with respect to the Project except with respect to contracts where the following requirements are complied with: (i)the compensation is reasonable for the services rendered; (ii)the compensation is not based, in whole or in part, on a share of net profits from the operation of the Project (iii) not more than twenty percent (20%)of the voting power of the Recipient in the aggregate may be vested in the service.provider and its directors, officers, shareholders and employees and vice versa; (iv) any overlapping board members between the Recipient and the service provider must not include the chief executive officer or executive director of either, or their respective governing bodies; and (v): (a) At least ninety-five percent(95%)of the compensation for services for each annual period during the term of the contract is based on a periodic fixed fee which is a stated dollar amount for services rendered for a specified period of time. The stated dollar amount may automatically increase according to a specified objective external standard that is not linked to the output or efficiency of a facility, e.g., the Consumer Price Index and similar external indices that track increases in prices in an area or increases in revenues or costs in an industry are objective . external standards. A fee shall not fail to qualify as a periodic fixed fee as a result of a one(1) time incentive award during the term of the contract under which compensation automatically increases when a gross revenue or expense target(but not both) is reached if that award is a single stated dollar amount. The term of the contract, including all renewal options, must not . exceed the lesser of eighty percent(80%)of the reasonably expected useful life of the financed property and fifteen (15)years(twenty(20)years for"public utility property"within the meaning of • Section 168(i)(10)of the Code); . (b) At least eighty percent(80%) of the compensation for services for each annual period during the term of the contract is based on a periodic fixed fee. The term of the contract, including all renewal options, must not exceed the lesser of eighty percent(80%)of the reasonably expected • useful life of the financed property and ten(10)years. A one (1)time incentive award during the term of the contract similar to the award described in subsection (a) above is permitted under this option as well; (c) At least fifty percent(50%) of the compensation for services for each annual period during the term of the contract is based on a periodic fixed fee or all of the compensation for services is based on a capitation fee or combination of a periodic fixed fee and a capitation fee. A capitation 15 - r:om,«,a • • City of Seal Beach Agreement No.: 10-838-550 Project No.: C-06-5310-110 • fee is a fixed periodic amount for each person lot whom the service provider or the Recipient assumes the responsibility to provide all needed services for a specified period so long as the quantity and type of services actually provided to covered persons vary substantially; e.g., a fixed dollar amount payable per month to a service provider for each member of a plan for whom the • provider agrees to provide all needed services for a specified period. A capitation fee may include a variable component of up to twenty percent(20%) of the total capitation fee designed to protect the service provider against risks such as catastrophic loss. •The term of the contract, including all renewal options, must not exceed five(5)years. The contract must be terminable by the Recipient on reasonable notice without penalty or cause, at the end of the third year of the contract; (d) All of the compensation for services is based on a per-unit fee or a combination of a per-unit fee and a periodic fee. A per-unit fee is defined to mean a fee based on a unit of service provided as specified in the contract or otherwise specifically determined by an independent third party, such as the administrator of the program or the Recipient; e.g., a stated dollar amount for each specified procedure performed, car parked or passenger mile is a per-unit fee. The term of the contract, including all renewal options, must not exceed three (3)years. The contract must be terminable by the Recipient on reasonable notice, without penalty or cause, at the end of the second year of the contract term; or (e) All of the compensation for services is based on a percentage of fees charged or a combination of a per-unit fee and a percentage of revenue or expense fee. During the start up period, however, compensation may be based on a percentage of either gross revenues, adjusted gross revenues or expenses of a facility. The term of the contract, including renewal options, must not exceed two(2)years. The contract must be terminable by the Recipient on reasonable notice without penalty or cause, at the end of the first year. This type of contract is permissible only with respect to contracts under which the service provider primarily provides services to third parties, and management contracts involving a facility during an initial start-up period for which there have been insufficient operations to establish a reasonable estimate of the amount of the annual gross revenues and expenses(e.g., a contract for general management services for the first year of the operations). • If the compensation terms of a management or service contract are materially revised, the requirements for compensation terms must be retested as of the date of the material revision and the management or service contract is treated as one that was newly entered into as of the date of the material revision. A renewal option, for purposes of the foregoing, is defined to mean a provision under which the service provider has a legally enforceable right to renew the contract. Thus, for example, a -provision under which a contract is automatically renewed for one(1)year periods absent cancellation by either party is not a renewal option, even if it is expected to be renewed. A cancellation penalty is defined to include a limitation on the Recipient's ability to compete with the service provider, a requirement that the Recipient purchase equipment, goods or services from the service provider, and a requirement that the Recipient pay liquidated damages for cancellation of the contract; in comparison, a requirement effective on cancellation that the Recipient reimburse the service provider for ordinary and necessary expenses or a restriction against the Recipient hiring key personnel of the service provider is generally not a contract termination penalty. Another contract between the service provider and the Recipient, such as • an Installment Sale Agreement or guarantee by the service provider, is treated as creating a contract termination penalty if that contract contains terms that are not customary or arm's length,that could operate to prevent the Recipient from terminating the contract(e.g., provisions under which the contract terminates if the management contract is terminated or that places substantial restrictions on the selection of a substitute service provider). • • - 16 xrorm,m,o .. ._. _ ....-_.. _.... .. . u ....w.....:rv. ).-:- . i•• Cx.d.

The Recipient does not expect to sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Project, in whole or in part, prior to the final maturity date of the Obligation. 4.9 Useful Life of Project. The economic useful life of the Project, commencing at Project Completion, is at least equal to the term of this Agreement, as set forth on Exhibit B hereto. 4.10 Installment Payments. Installment Payments generally are expected to be derived from current revenues of the Recipient in each year, and current revenues are expected to equal or exceed debt service on the Obligation during each payment period. 4.11 No Other Replacement Proceeds.
