Section 4. Completion of Project. The Participant covenants and agrees (i)to exercise its
best efforts in accordance with prudent wastewater treatment utility practices to complete the
Project; and (ii) to provide from its own fiscal resources all monies, in excess of the total amount
of Loan proceeds it receives under the Agreement, required to complete the Project.
Section 5. Repayment of Loan; Issuance of Revenue Bonds. The Participant's obligation
to repay the Loan and interest thereon shall be evidenced by the Revenue Bond in the principal
amount of the Loan, complying in all material respects with the Regulations and being in
substantially the form set forth in the Resolution. The Revenue Bond shall be delivered to the
Issuer as the original purchaser and registered holder thereof at the closing of the Loan. The
Revenue Bond shall be accompanied by a legal opinion of bond counsel, in form satisfactory to
the Issuer, to evidence the legality, security position and tax-exempt status of interest on the
Revenue Bond. The parties agree that a payment of principal of or interest on the Revenue Bond
shall be deemed to be a payment of the same on the Loan and a payment of principal of or
interest on the Loan shall be deemed to be a payment of the same on the Revenue Bond. Unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by the Issuer, all payments of principal and interest due under the
Loan shall be made via automated clearinghouse transfer, from an account specified by the
Participant.
The Revenue Bond shall be dated the date of delivery to the Issuer, with interest and the
Servicing Fee (together, the "Interest Rate" as set forth in Section 6 hereof) payable
semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year (unless the resolution authorizing a
previous series of outstanding bonds on a parity with the Revenue Bond requires interest to be
paid on other interest payment dates, in which case such other dates shall apply)from the date of
each disbursement of a part of the Loan from the Issuer to the Participant (which are initially
expected to be on approximately the dates set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein). The first repayment of principal of the Loan shall be due and payable not
later than one year after substantial completion of the Project and payments of principal, interest
and the Servicing Fee shall continue thereafter until the Loan is paid in full. Following the final
disbursement of Loan proceeds to the Participant, Exhibit A shall be adjusted by the Issuer, with
the approval of the Participant, based upon actual disbursements to the Participant under the
Agreement. Such revised Exhibit A thereafter shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by
reference and made a part hereof and shall supersede and replace that initially attached hereto
and to the Revenue Bond.
The Revenue Bond shall be subject to optional redemption by the Participant at a price of
par plus accrued interest (i) on any date upon receipt of written consent by the Issuer, or (ii) in
the event that all or substantially all of the Project is damaged or destroyed. Any such optional
redemption of the Revenue Bond by the Participant may be made from any funds regardless of
source, in whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than thirty (30) days notice of
redemption by e-mail, facsimile, certified or registered mail to the Issuer (or any other registered
owner of the Revenue Bond). The Revenue Bond is also subject to mandatory redemption in the
event the costs of the Project are less than initially projected, in which case the amount of the
Loan shall be reduced to an amount equal to the actual Project costs disbursed. The Participant
3
and the Issuer agree that following such adjustment, the principal amount due under the Revenue
Bond shall be automatically reduced to equal the principal amount of the adjusted Loan.
The Revenue Bond and the interest thereon and any additional obligations as may be
hereafter issued and outstanding from time to time under the conditions set forth in the
Resolution shall be payable solely and only from the Net Revenues (as defined in the Resolution)
of the Wastewater Treatment System of the Participant, a sufficient portion of which has been
and shall be ordered set aside and pledged for such purpose under the provisions of the
Resolution. Neither this Agreement nor the Revenue Bond is a general obligation of the
Participant, and under no circumstance shall the Participant be in any manner liable by reason of
the failure of the aforesaid Net Revenues to be sufficient to pay the Revenue Bond and the
interest thereon or to otherwise discharge the Participant's obligation hereunder.
Section 6. Interest Rate Initiation Fee and Servicing Fees. (a) The Participant agrees
to pay to the Issuer, as additional consideration for the Loan, a loan initiation fee (the "Initiation
Fee") equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the amount of the Loan ($3,985), which shall
be due and payable on the date of this Agreement. Unless the Issuer shall be otherwise notified
by the Participant that the Participant intends to pay such Initiation Fee from other funds, and has
received such other funds from the Participant on the date hereof, the Issuer shall be authorized
to deduct the full amount of the Initiation Fee from the proceeds of the Loan being made
hereunder, and such deduction by the Issuer shall be deemed to be an expenditure by the
Participant of the Loan proceeds.
(b) The Participant agrees to pay a Loan servicing fee (the "Servicing Fee") to.the Issuer
in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Loan outstanding. The
Servicing Fee shall be paid as described in Section 5 and Section 6(c) hereof.
(c) The Loan shall bear interest at 1.75% per annum (the "Rate"). As described in
Section 5, payments hereunder shall be calculated based on the Rate plus the Servicing Fee (such
2.00%, the "Interest Rate").

Rates. The Participant covenants and agrees (i) to comply with all applicable State of Iowa and
federal laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to the Regulations), judicial

System; (ii) to maintain its Wastewater Treatment System in good repair, working order and

Bond and any other obligations secured by a pledge of the Net Revenues falling due in the same
4
year, (C) to comply with all covenants pertaining thereto contained in, and all other provisions
of, any bond resolution, trust indenture or other security agreement, if any, relating to any bonds
or other evidences of indebtedness issued or to be issued by the Participant, (D) to pay the debt
service requirements on any bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness, whether now
outstanding or incurred in the future, secured by such revenues or other receipts and issued to
finance improvements to the Wastewater Treatment System and to make any other payments

independent auditor or the State Auditor (i) at such times and for such periods as may be
required by the federal Single Audit Act of 1984, OMB Circular A-133 or State law, and (ii) at
such other times and for such other periods as may be requested at any time and from time to
time by the Issuer (which requests may require an audit to be performed for a period that would
not otherwise be required to be audited under State law), and (c) not to sell, lease or in any
manner dispose of the Wastewater Treatment System, or any capital part thereof, including any
and all extensions and additions which may be made thereto, until the Revenue Bond shall have
been paid in full or otherwise discharged as provided in the Resolution; provided, however, that
the Participant may dispose of any property which in the judgment of its governing body is no
longer useful or profitable to use in connection with the operation of the Wastewater Treatment
System or essential to the continued operation thereof.

its project accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as

relating to the reporting of infrastructure assets.
The Participant agrees to permit the Issuer or its duly authorized representative access to
all files and documents relating to the Project for purposes of conducting audits and reviews in
accordance with any of the Regulations.

the "continuing disclosure" requirements set forth in Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule") of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, the Participant agrees, during the term of the Loan, to provide the
Issuer with (i) the comprehensive audit report of the Participant, prepared and certified by an

agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, reasonable costs and
expenses whatsoever (including attorney fees) which such indemnified party may incur by
reason of or in connection with the disclosure of information permitted under this Section;
provided that no such indemnification shall be required for any claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer in the disclosure of such information.

hereby defined as and declared to constitute an "Event of Default"under this Agreement:

obligation or agreement on its part to be observed or performed under the Agreement or

requesting that it be remedied, is given to the Participant by the Issuer, unless the Issuer
shall agree in writing to an extension of such time prior to its expiration or the failure
stated in such notice is correctable but cannot be corrected in the applicable period, in
which case the Issuer may not unreasonably withhold its consent to an extension of such
time up to one hundred twenty (120) days from the delivery of the written notice referred
