Bond Reserve Requirement, prepare and submit to the Town Council a request for an
appropriation of a sufficient amount to replenish the Bond Reserve Fund to the Bond Reserve
Requirement. It is the present intention and expectation of the Town Council to appropriate such
funds as requested, within the limits of available funds and revenues, but this declaration of
intent shall not be binding upon the Town Council or any future Town Council in any future
fiscal year. The Town Council may determine in its sole discretion, but shall never be required,
to make the appropriations so requested. All sums appropriated by the Town Council for such
purpose shall be deposited by the Authority in the Bond Reserve Fund. Nothing provided in this
Section 1 shall create or constitute a debt, liability or multiple fiscal year financial obligation of
the Town.
Section 2. Repayment of Amounts Appropriated. In the event that the Town
Council appropriates funds as contemplated by Section 1 hereof, any amounts actually advanced
shall be treated as an obligation under the 2008 Cooperation Agreement and shall be repaid by
the Authority, with interest thereon as provided in the 2008 Cooperation Agreement, but shall be
payable from and secured solely by the Pledged Revenues of the Authority, as provided in the
2008 Cooperation Agreement, on a basis expressly subordinate and junior to that of the 2008
Bonds and any obligations secured under the Indenture, including, without limitation, Bank
Bonds (as defined in the Indenture), Reimbursement Obligations (as defined in the Indenture)
and all other obligations owed to the Bank under the Reimbursement Agreement.
Section 3. Limitation to 2008 Bonds and Other Obligations Originally
Secured by Indenture. Unless otherwise expressly provided by a subsequent resolution of the
2
® Town Council, the provisions of this Resolution shall apply only to the Bond Reserve Fund
originally established in connection with the 2008 Bonds and any obligations secured on a parity
with the 2008 Bonds, and shall not apply to any other additional obligations issued under the
Indenture.
Section 4. Termination of Original Cooperation Agreement. The Town
hereby terminates the Original Cooperation Agreement effective upon the issuance of the 2008
Bonds and hereby approves the form of the 2008 Cooperation Agreement as described in Section
5 below.
Section 5. Approval and Authorization of the 2008 Cooperation Agreement
and Reimbursement Agreement. The forms of the 2008 Cooperation Agreement and
Reimbursement Agreement are hereby approved. The Town shall enter into and perform its
obligations under the 2008 Cooperation Agreement and Reimbursement Agreement, in the form
of such documents as are on file with the Town Clerk, with only such changes therein as are not
inconsistent herewith. The Town Manager is hereby authorized and directed to execute the 2008
Cooperation Agreement and Reimbursement Agreement on behalf of the Town, and the Town
Clerk is hereby authorized to attest to the 2008 Cooperation Agreement and Reimbursement
Agreement.
Section 6. General Repealer. All prior resolutions, or parts thereof,
