THE CITY OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, a city and political subdivision of the State of Missouri (the "City"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Owner shown above, or registered assigns, the Principal Amount shown above in installments in the amounts and on the Maturity Dates referenced above, and to pay interest thereon at the annual Interest Rates referenced above (computed on the basis of a 360day year of twelve 30day months), payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1 in each year, commencing July 1, 2005 (each an "Interest Payment Date"), from the Dated Date shown above or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for until the Principal Amount has been paid.

 

The principal of and redemption premium, if any, on this Bond will be paid at maturity or upon earlier redemption to the person in whose name this Bond is registered at the maturity or redemption date, upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the principal payment office of UMB BANK, N.A. in the City of St. Louis, Missouri (the "Paying Agent"). The interest payable on this Bond on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Bond is registered on the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent at the close of business on the Record Date. The Record Date is the fifteenth day (whether or not a business day) of the calendar month next preceding the Interest Payment Date. The principal of and redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds is payable by electronic transfer in immediately available federal funds to a bank in the continental United States of America pursuant to instructions from the Owner received by the Paying Agent prior to the Record Date. The principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on this Bond is payable in lawful money of the United States of America.

 

This Bond is one of a duly authorized series of bonds of the City designated "Sanitary Sewer System Revenue Bonds (State Revolving Fund Program) Series 2004H" aggregating the principal amount of $10,500,000 (the "Bonds"), issued by the City for the purpose of extending and improving the City's Sanitary Sewer System (the "Sanitary Sewer System"), under the authority of and in full compliance with Chapter 250 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri and pursuant to an election duly held in the City and Ordinance No. ______ and Ordinance No. __________ adopted by the governing body of the City (the "Ordinance").

 

Certain Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption and payment prior to maturity pursuant to the mandatory redemption requirements of the Ordinance, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

 

At the option of the City, certain Bonds may be called for redemption and payment prior to maturity in whole or in part on any date with the consent of the Bondowner, as provided in the Ordinance.

 

Bonds will be optionally redeemed in part in integral multiples of $5,000 (unless otherwise approved in writing by the Bondowner) from the maturities selected by the City with the prior written consent of the Bondowner. Upon redemption, the sinking fund redemption amounts for each maturity will be proportionately reduced, subject to rounding to integral multiples of $5,000 (unless otherwise approved in writing by the Bondowner). The City will give written notice to the Paying Agent, as trustee (the "Trustee"), designating the amount of each maturity redeemed and the reduction in each sinking fund installment, subject to verification by the Trustee. In exercising its option to redeem the Bonds, the City will deposit with the Paying Agent, in addition to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, an additional premium equal to 30days' interest on the Bonds to be redeemed for an additional 30day period.

 

If all of the Bonds are held by the Bondowner, no notice of the mandatory sinking fund redemption of Bonds is required to be given. If the Bonds are held by any Owner other than the Bondowner or if Bonds are being optionally redeemed, notice of redemption will be given, unless waived, by mailing a redemption notice by registered or certified mail at least 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the Owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond Register. If notice of redemption has been given or waived, the Bonds or portions of Bonds called for redemption will become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price specified in the notice. From and after the redemption date the Bonds called for redemption will cease to bear interest date unless the City defaults in the payment of the redemption price.

 

The Bonds are limited obligations of the City payable solely from, and secured as to the payment of principal and interest by a pledge of, the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues (as defined in the Ordinance). The taxing power of the City is not pledged to the payment of the Bonds either as to principal or interest. The Bonds do not constitute a general obligation of the City or an indebtedness of the City within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision, limitation or restriction. Under the conditions set forth in the Ordinance, the City has the right to issue additional parity bonds payable from, and secured by, the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues.

 

The Bonds are junior and subordinate to the Outstanding Senior Bonds with respect to payment of principal and interest from the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues. The Bonds are not payable from the stormwater portion of the Combined System Revenues (as defined in the Ordinance). In the event of any default in the payment of the Outstanding Senior Bonds, the Combined System Revenues will be applied solely to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Outstanding Senior Bonds until the default is cured. The Bonds are issued on a parity with respect to payment of principal and interest from the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues and in all other respects with the Outstanding Parity Bonds (as defined in the Ordinance).

 

The City covenants with the Owner of this Bond to keep and perform all covenants and agreements contained in the Ordinance, and the City will fix, establish, maintain and collect rates, fees and charges for the use and services furnished by or through the Sanitary Sewer System to produce Sanitary Sewer Revenues sufficient to pay the operation and maintenance costs of the Sanitary Sewer System, pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and provide reasonable and adequate reserve funds. Reference is made to the Ordinance for a description of the agreements made by the City with respect to the collection, segregation and application of the Sanitary Sewer Revenues, the nature and extent of the security for the Bonds, the rights, duties and obligations of the City with respect to the Bonds, and the rights of the Owners.

 

The Bonds are issuable in the form of fully registered Bonds without coupons in the denomination of $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000.

 

This Bond may be transferred or exchanged, as provided in the Ordinance, only upon the registration books kept for that purpose at the abovementioned office of the Paying Agent. Upon surrender of any Bond at the principal payment office of the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent will transfer or exchange the Bond for a new Bond or Bonds in any authorized denomination of the same maturity and in the same aggregate principal amount as the Bond which was presented for transfer or exchange. All Bonds presented for transfer or exchange must be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer or authorization for exchange, in a form and with guarantee of signature satisfactory to the Paying Agent, duly executed by the Owner or by the Owner's authorized agent. All Bonds presented for transfer or exchange must be surrendered to the Paying Agent for cancellation. For every exchange or transfer of Bonds the City or the Paying Agent may levy a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid for the exchange or transfer. The charge must be paid by the person requesting the exchange or transfer. Payment of the charge is a condition precedent to the exchange or transfer.

 

This Bond will not be valid or be entitled to any security or benefit under the Ordinance until the Certificate of Authentication has been executed by the Paying Agent.

 

IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND DECLARED that all acts, conditions and things required to exist, happen and be performed precedent to the issuance of the Bonds have existed, happened and been performed in due time, form and manner as required by law, and that before the issuance of the Bonds, provision has been duly made for the collection, segregation and application of the income and revenues of the Sanitary Sewer System as provided in the Ordinance.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City of Kansas City, Missouri, has executed this Bond by causing it to be signed by the manual or facsimile signature of its Mayor, attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its City Clerk, and countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of its Director of Finance, with its official seal affixed or imprinted and has caused this Bond to be dated the Dated Date shown above.

Section 807. Tax Covenants.

The City will not use or permit the use of any proceeds of the Bonds or any other funds of the City, nor take or permit any other action, or fail to take any action, which would adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the Authority Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

(c) The City will not use any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, including any investment income earned on the proceeds, directly or indirectly, (1) in a manner that would cause any Bond to be a "private activity bond" within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the Code, or (2) to make or finance a loan to any person.

(d) The City will pay to the Trustee, for deposit to the Interest Account and subsequent transfer as provided in the Indenture, an amount equal to arbitrage rebate and the costs incurred in connection with determining arbitrage rebate, at the times required by the Arbitrage Instructions.

ARTICLE IX

aDDITIONAL BONDS

Section 901. Prior Lien Bonds. Except as provided in Section 904, the City will not issue any debt obligations payable out of the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues which are superior in lien, security or otherwise to the Bonds.

Section 902. Parity Lien Bonds or Obligations.

(a) The City will not issue any additional bonds or other longterm obligations payable out of the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues which stand on a parity or equality with the Bonds unless the following conditions are met:

(1) the City is not in default in the payment of principal or interest on the Bonds or any Parity Bonds or in making any deposit into the funds and accounts under this Ordinance or any Parity Ordinance; and

(2) the City provides to the Bondowner and the Trustee a certificate showing either of the following:

(A) the average annual Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service plus Administrative Service Fees as set forth in the two most recent annual audits for Fiscal Years preceding the issuance of additional bonds, are at least 110% of the average annual debt service on the Sanitary Sewer System Revenue Bonds (excluding subordinate revenue bonds or obligations), including the additional bonds proposed to be issued, to be paid out of the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues in all succeeding Fiscal Years. Interest to be paid on any SRF Program Bonds may be reduced by the SRF Subsidy, if any. In determining Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service, the City may rely on a certificate of the Consultant to add the additional Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service which would have resulted if the rate increase had been in effect for the entire period to the audited Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service if the City has made any increase in rates for the use and services of the Sanitary Sewer System and the increase has not been in effect during all of the two Fiscal Years for which annual audits are available; or

(B) the estimated average annual Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service plus Administrative Service Fees for the two Fiscal Years immediately following the Fiscal Year in which the improvements to the Sanitary Sewer System being financed by the additional bonds are to be in commercial operation, as certified by the Consultant, is at least 110% of the average annual debt service on the Sanitary Sewer System Revenue Bonds (excluding subordinate revenue bonds or obligations), including the additional bonds proposed to be issued, to be paid out of the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service in succeeding Fiscal Years following the commencement of commercial operation of the improvements. Interest to be paid on any SRF Program Bonds may be reduced by the SRF Subsidy, if any. In determining the amount of estimated Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service for the purpose of this subsection, the Consultant may adjust the estimated net income and revenues by adding the estimated increase in Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service resulting from any increase in rates for the use and services of the Sanitary Sewer System approved by the City.

(b) If the conditions set forth in this Section are satisfied, the City (i) may issue additional revenue bonds or other obligations of the City on a parity with the Bonds and that enjoy complete equality of the lien on the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues with the Bonds, (ii) may make equal provision for paying the additional revenue bonds or other obligations from the Sewer Fund, and (iii) may secure the additional revenue bonds or other obligations by funding reasonable Sanitary Sewer System debt service accounts and debt service reserve accounts from the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues.

Section 903. Junior Lien Bonds. Nothing in this Article prohibits or restricts the right of the City to issue additional revenue obligations, including revenue bonds, for the purpose of extending, improving, enlarging, repairing or altering the Sanitary Sewer System, or refunding obligations issued for such purpose, that are subordinate to the Bonds if at the time of the issuance of the additional revenue obligations the City is not in default in the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Ordinance. If the City is in default in paying either interest on or principal of the Bonds, or if the Reserve Account is not fully funded pursuant to the Indenture, the City shall not make any payments on the subordinate revenue obligations until the default is cured. Subject to the limitations in this Section, the City may make provision for paying the principal of and interest on the subordinate revenue bonds or obligations from moneys in the Sewer Fund.

Section 904. Refunding Bonds.

(a) The City may, without complying with the provisions of Section 902, refund any of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds in a manner which provides debt service savings to the City, and the refunding bonds so issued will be on a parity with any of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds that are not refunded. If the Bonds are refunded in part and the refunding bonds bear a higher average rate of interest or become due on a date earlier than that of the Bonds which are refunded, the City must obtain the prior written consent of the Bondowner and DNR to the issuance of the refunding bonds.

(b) The Citymay refund any of the Outstanding Senior Bonds in a manner which provides debt service savings to the City in each subsequent Fiscal Year, and the refunding bonds so issued may have a priority lien on the Net Sanitary Sewer System Revenues.

ARTICLE X

dEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 1001. Event of Default. If (i) the City defaults in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Bonds, or (ii) the City or its Governing Body or any of its officers, agents or employees fails or refuses to comply with any provision of this Ordinance, the Constitution or statutes of the State, the Purchase Agreement or the Revolving Fund Agreement and default continues for a period of 60 days after written notice specifying the nonpayment default has been given to the City by the Trustee, the Authority, DNR or the Owner of any Bond then Outstanding, at any time thereafter and while the default continues, the City shall pay to DNR the penalties assessed by DNR in accordance with the Regulations. The penalties will be assessed as a reduction in the credit provided in Section 602(a)(2)(A).

Section 1002. Remedies.

(a) The provisions of this Ordinance constitute a contract between the City and the Owners of the Bonds. The Owner or Owners of not less than 10% in principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding have the right for the equal benefit and protection of all Owners of Bonds similarly situated:

(1) by any proceeding at law or in equity to enforce the rights of the Owner or Owners against the City and its officers, agents and employees, and to compel the performance by the City of its duties and obligations under this Ordinance, the Constitution and the laws of the State;

(2) by any proceeding at law or in equity to require the City, its officers, agents and employees to account as if they were the trustees of an express trust; and

(3) by any proceeding at law or in equity to enjoin any act or thing which is unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Owners of the Bonds.

(b) Any amounts paid on the Bonds to the Owners will be applied first to interest and second to principal, to the extent due and payable.

Section 1003. Limitation on Rights of Bondowners. No Owner has any right in any manner whatever by the Owner's action to affect, disturb or prejudice the security granted and provided for in, or enforce any right under, this Ordinance, except in the manner provided in this Ordinance. All proceedings at law or in equity will be for the equal benefit of all Owners.

Section 1004. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy conferred upon the Owners is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy. Each remedy is in addition to every other remedy and may be exercised without exhausting any other remedy conferred under this Ordinance. No waiver by any Owner of any default or breach of duty or contract of the City under this Ordinance will affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract by the City or impair any rights or remedies thereon. No delay or omission of any Owner to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default will impair any right or power or will be construed to be a waiver of any default. Every substantive right and every remedy conferred upon the Owners of the Bonds by this Ordinance may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as may be expedient. If any Owner discontinues any proceeding or the decision in the proceeding is against the Owner, the City and the Owners of the Bonds will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Ordinance.

Section 1005. No Obligation to Levy Taxes. Nothing in this Ordinance imposes any duty or obligation on the City to levy any taxes either to meet any obligation incurred under this Ordinance or to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds.

ARTICLE XI

DEFEASANCE

Section 1101. Defeasance. When all of the Bonds have been paid and discharged, the provisions of this Ordinance (other than Section 807) will terminate. Bonds will be treated as paid and discharged within the meaning of this Ordinance if the City has deposited with the Paying Agent, or other bank or trust company authorized to do business in the State, having full trust powers and meeting the requirements of a successor Trustee under the Indenture, (i) moneys and noncallable Defeasance Securities which, together with interest to be earned, as evidenced by the written report of an independent certified public accountant, will be sufficient for the payment of the principal and redemption premium, if any, of and interest to accrue on the Bonds to the date of maturity or redemption, plus an additional premium on Bonds being optionally redeemed equal to interest that would otherwise accrue on the Bonds for an additional 30day period, and (ii) an opinion of Bond Counsel, addressed to the Authority and the Trustee, that providing for the payment of the Bonds by depositing moneys or Defeasance Securities with the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section will not cause the interest on the Authority Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. If any Bonds will be redeemed prior to maturity, the City must have given irrevocable instructions to the Paying Agent to redeem the Bonds. Any moneys and obligations which at any time are deposited with the Paying Agent or other bank by or on behalf of the City, for the purpose of paying and discharging any of the Bonds, are assigned, transferred and set over in trust for the applicable Owners, and the moneys and obligations are irrevocably appropriated to the payment and discharge of the applicable Bonds.
