The 2025A Bonds shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount specified in the Closing Certificate of the City, not to exceed $165,000,000. The principal amounts so specified in the Closing Certificate of the City are hereby incorporated by reference into this Sixth Supplemental Resolution, with the same force and effect as if set forth herein.
Terms of the 2025A Bonds. The 2025A Bonds shall be in registered form only in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiples thereof in excess thereof within a maturity, and shall be numbered in such manner as the Fiscal Agent determines. The 2025A Bonds shall be dated such date as shall be specified in the Closing Certificate of the City, shall bear interest from such dated date at the rates and shall mature on the date or dates and in the principal amount or amounts set forth in the Closing Certificate of the City.
The Closing Certificate of the City shall designate which, if any, of the 2025A Bonds shall be Term Bonds.
The designation of maturities, interest rates and Term Bonds specified in the Closing Certificate of the City are hereby incorporated by reference into this Sixth Supplemental Resolution with the same force and effect as if set forth herein.
Interest. The 2025A Bonds shall bear interest at the rates set forth in the Closing Certificate of the City (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30 day months), initially shall be payable on the date set forth in the Closing Certificate of the City and semiannually thereafter as set forth in the Closing Certificate of the City.

Such notice may provide that it will remain in effect for later interest payments until changed or revoked by another written notice. Payments of defaulted interest shall be paid by check to the Owners as of a special record date to be fixed by the Fiscal Agent, notice of which special record date shall be given to the Owners by the Fiscal Agent not less than ten (10) days prior thereto.

Mandatory Sinking Account Payments. The Outstanding Term Bonds, if any, as set forth in the Closing Certificate of the City, shall be called before maturity and redeemed at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof from Mandatory Sinking Account Payments which have been deposited in the Principal Account, in the amounts and upon the dates established for each such maturity, as set forth in the Closing Certificate of the City.

CUSIP Identification Numbers. CUSIP identification numbers shall be ordered by the Underwriter and caused by the City to be printed on the 2025A Bonds, but such numbers shall not be deemed a part of the 2025A Bonds or a part of the contract evidenced thereby and no liability shall attach to the City Council or to the City or its officers, employees or agents because or on account of such CUSIP identification numbers.
Book-Entry System.
General. The 2025A Bonds initially shall be issued in the form of a separate single fully registered 2025A Bond (which may be typewritten) for each of the maturities of the 2025A Bonds. The City shall cause the delivery of a separate single fully registered bond (which may be typewritten) for each maturity date of such 2025A Bonds in an authorized denomination corresponding to that total principal amount of the 2025A Bonds designated to mature on such date. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such 2025A Bond shall be registered in the Bond Register in the name of the Nominee, as nominee of the Securities Depository, and ownership of the Bonds, or any portion thereof may not thereafter be transferred except as provided in subsection (E) below.
With respect to book-entry 2025A Bonds, the City and the Fiscal Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any person on behalf of which such a Participant holds an interest in such book-entry 2025A Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the City and the Fiscal Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to: (i) the accuracy of the records of the Securities Depository, the Nominee, or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in book-entry 2025A Bonds; (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any other person, other than an Owner as shown in the Bond Register, of any notice with respect to book-entry 2025A Bonds, including any notice of redemption; (iii) the selection by the Securities Depository and its Participants of the beneficial interests in book-entry 2025A Bonds to be redeemed in the event that the City redeems the 2025A Bonds in part; or (iv) the payment by the Securities Depository or any Participant or any other person of any amount of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on book-entry 2025A Bonds. The City and the Fiscal Agent may treat and consider the person in whose name each book-entry 2025A Bond is registered in the Bond Register as the absolute Owner of such book-entry 2025A Bond for the purpose of payment of principal of, premium and interest on such Bond, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Fiscal Agent shall pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective Owner, as shown in the Bond Register, or his respective attorney duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City’s obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than an Owner, as shown in the Bond Register, shall receive a Bond evidencing the obligation to make payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds. Upon delivery by the Securities Depository to the City and the Fiscal Agent of written notice to the effect that the Securities Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of the Nominee, and subject to the provisions herein with respect to Record Dates, the word Nominee in the Indenture shall refer to such nominee of the Securities Depository.
Delivery of Representation Letter. In order to qualify the book-entry 2025A Bonds for the Securities Depository’s book-entry system, the City shall execute and deliver to the Securities Depository a Representation Letter. The execution and delivery of a Representation Letter shall not in any way impose upon the City or the Fiscal Agent any obligation whatsoever with respect to persons having interests in such book-entry 2025A Bonds other than the Owners, as shown on the Bond Register. In addition to the execution and delivery of a Representation Letter, the City and the Fiscal Agent, if necessary, shall take such other actions, not inconsistent with the Indenture, as are reasonably necessary to qualify book-entry 2025A Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry program.
Selection of Securities Depository. In the event that: (i) the Securities Depository determines not to continue to act as securities depository for book-entry 2025A Bonds; or (ii) the City determines that continuation of the book-entry system is not in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the 2025A Bonds or the City, then the City will discontinue the book-entry system with the Securities Depository. If the City determines to replace the Securities Depository with another qualified securities depository, the City shall prepare or direct the preparation of a new single, separate, fully registered 2025A Bond for each of the maturity dates of such book-entry 2025A Bonds, registered in the name of such successor or substitute qualified securities depository or its Nominee as provided in subsection (e) below. If the City fails to identify another qualified securities depository to replace the Securities Depository, then the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in such Bond Register in the name of the Nominee, but shall be registered in whatever name or names the Owners transferring or exchanging such Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.09 hereof.
Payments To Securities Depository. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sixth Supplemental Resolution or the Master Resolution to the contrary, so long as all Outstanding 2025A Bonds are held in book-entry form and registered in the name of the Nominee, all payments of principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on such 2025A Bonds and all notices with respect to such 2025A Bonds shall be made and given, respectively to the Nominee, as provided in the Representation Letter or as otherwise instructed by the Securities Depository and agreed to by the Fiscal Agent notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions herein.
Transfer of 2025A Bonds to Substitute Depository.
The 2025A Bonds shall be initially issued as provided in Section 2.01. Registered ownership of such 2025A Bonds, or any portions thereof, may not thereafter be transferred except:
to any successor of the Securities Depository or its Nominee, or of any substitute depository designated pursuant to clause (b) below (a “Substitute Depository”); provided that any successor of the Securities Depository or Substitute Depository shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the service proposed to be provided by it; to any Substitute Depository, upon: (1) the resignation of the Securities Depository or its successor (or any Substitute Depository or its successor) from its functions as depository; or (2) a determination by the City that the Securities Depository (or its successor) is no longer able to carry out its functions as depository; provided that any such Substitute Depository shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the services proposed to be provided by it; or to any person as provided below, upon: (1) the resignation of the Securities Depository or its successor (or any Substitute Depository or its successor) from its functions as depository; or (2) a determination by the City that the Securities Depository or its successor (or Substitute Depository or its successor) is no longer able to carry out its functions as depository.
In the case of any transfer pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) of subsection (i) of this Section 2.08(E), upon receipt of all Outstanding 2025A Bonds by the Fiscal Agent, together with a written request of the City to the Fiscal Agent designating the Substitute Depository, a single new 2025A Bond, which the City shall prepare or cause to be prepared, shall be issued for each maturity of 2025A Bonds then Outstanding, registered in the name of such successor or such Substitute Depository or their Nominees, as the case may be, all as specified in such written request of the City. In the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (C) of subsection (i) of this Section 2.08(E), upon receipt of all Outstanding 2025A Bonds by the Fiscal Agent, together with a written request of the City to the Fiscal Agent, new 2025A Bonds, which the City shall prepare or cause to be prepared, shall be issued in such denominations and registered in the names of such persons as are requested in such written request of the City, subject to the limitations of Section 2.01 hereof, provided that the Fiscal Agent shall not be required to deliver such new 2025A Bonds within a period of less than sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of such written request from the City.
In the case of a partial redemption or an advance refunding of any 2025A Bonds evidencing a portion of the principal maturing in a particular year, the Securities Depository or its successor (or any Substitute Depository or its successor) shall make an appropriate notation on such 2025A Bonds indicating the date and amounts of such reduction in principal, in form acceptable to the Fiscal Agent, all in accordance with the Representation Letter. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable for such Securities Depository’s failure to make such notations or errors in making such notations and the records of the Fiscal Agent as to the outstanding principal amount of such 2025A Bonds shall be controlling.
The City and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to treat the person in whose name any 2025A Bond is registered as the Owner thereof for all purposes of the Master Resolution and any applicable laws, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary received by the City or the Fiscal Agent; and the City and the Fiscal Agent shall not have responsibility for transmitting payments to, communicating with, notifying, or otherwise dealing with any beneficial owners of the 2025A Bonds. Neither the City nor the Fiscal Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation, legal or otherwise, to any such beneficial owners or to any other party, including the Securities Depository or its successor (or Substitute Depository or its successor), except to the Owner of any 2025A Bonds, and the Fiscal Agent may rely conclusively on its records as to the identity of the Owners of the 2025A Bonds.
Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. In the event that: (i) the Securities Depository determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the 2025A Bonds; or (ii) the City determines that the Securities Depository shall no longer so act and delivers a written certificate to the Fiscal Agent to that effect, then the City will discontinue the book-entry system with the Securities Depository. Thereafter, any Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred or exchanged in accordance with Sections 2.05 and 2.06, respectively, of the Master Resolution.
Payments and Notices to the Nominee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sixth Supplemental Resolution to the contrary, so long as any 2025A Bond is registered in the name of the Nominee, all payments with respect to principal of and interest on such 2025A Bond and all notices with respect to such 2025A Bond shall be made and given, respectively, as provided in the Representation Letter or as otherwise instructed by the Securities Depository.

If any sum shall remain unexpended after the six month anniversary of the issuance of the 2025A Bonds, it shall, at the direction of the Treasurer, be: (1) applied by the Fiscal Agent to the payment of interest on the 2025A Bonds on the next succeeding interest payment date therefor; or (2) applied for any lawful purposes with respect to the Sewer System upon such terms and conditions as shall not, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the 2025A Bonds.
Establishment, Pledge, Funding and Application of 2025A Reserve Account.
Pursuant to this Sixth Supplemental Resolution, the Fiscal Agent shall establish, maintain and hold in trust a single and separate fund designated as the “Refunding Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2025A, Reserve Account.” The 2025A Reserve Account shall be funded at the 2025A Bond Reserve Requirement and applied as set forth below. The 2025A Reserve Account is hereby pledged to secure the payment of the principal of and interest on the 2025A Bonds in accordance with their terms.
On the date of initial issuance of the 2025A Bonds, the Fiscal Agent shall deposit to the 2025A Reserve Account an amount provided by or on behalf of the City, which may be in money, Authorized Investments, a line of credit, letter of credit, insurance policy, surety bond or other credit source meeting the requirements of Section 3.03(E) hereof, or a combination thereof, equal to the 2025A Bond Reserve Requirement. The City shall at all times maintain an amount equal to the 2025A Bond Reserve Requirement in the 2025A Reserve Account until the 2025A Bonds are discharged in accordance with the provisions of Article IX of the Master Resolution. In the event of any deficiency in the 2025A Reserve Account, the Treasurer shall replenish such deficiency in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 of the Master Resolution.
All amounts in the 2025A Reserve Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Fiscal Agent, as hereinafter provided, solely for the purpose of: (i) paying principal of and interest on the 2025A Bonds in the event that moneys in the Principal Account and the Interest Account are insufficient; or (ii) for the payment of the final principal and interest payments on the 2025A Bonds. Any amounts in the 2025A Reserve Account in excess of the 2025A Bond Reserve Requirement (as certified by the City to the Fiscal Agent) shall be transferred to an account with the Fiscal Agent to be applied towards payment of interest and principal due on the 2025A Bonds.
All Authorized Investments credited to the 2025A Reserve Account shall be valued as of July 1 of each year (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) at the greater of the cost or accreted value thereof.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at the option of the City, the 2025A Bond Reserve Requirement may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by the deposit of a line of credit, letter of credit, insurance policy, surety bond, or other credit source in a stated amount equal to all or a portion of the 2025A Bond Reserve Requirement; provided, that if the 2025A Bond Reserve Requirement is initially satisfied with a cash deposit, then prior to the substitution, in whole or in part, of such line of credit, letter of credit, insurance policy, surety bond or other credit source, the Rating Agencies shall be notified of such proposed substitution and the substitution shall not result in a withdrawal or downgrading of any rating of the 2025A Bonds then in effect by the Rating Agencies. Any moneys substituted by the deposit of a line of credit, letter of credit, insurance policy, surety bond, or other credit source shall be transferred, at the election of the Treasurer, to the 2025A Costs of Issuance Fund, to the Bond Service Account or to a special account to be established for the payment of any fees in connection with obtaining such line of credit, letter of credit, insurance policy, surety bond or other credit source or shall be applied for such other lawful purpose as shall not, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the 2025A Bonds.
Establishment and Application of 2025A Rebate Account.
Establishment. Pursuant to this Sixth Supplemental Resolution, the Fiscal Agent shall establish when required, maintain and hold in trust a separate account designated as the “Refunding Sewer Revenue Bonds, Issue of 2025A, Rebate Account.” Absent an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the 2025A Bonds will not be adversely affected, the City shall cause to be deposited in the 2025A Rebate Account such amounts as are required to be deposited therein pursuant to this Section and the Tax Certificate. All money at any time deposited in the 2025A Rebate Account shall be held by the Fiscal Agent in trust for payment to the United States Treasury. All amounts on deposit in the 2025A Rebate Account for the 2025A Bonds shall be governed by this Section and the Tax Certificate for the 2025A Bonds, unless and to the extent that the City delivers to the Fiscal Agent an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest with respect to the 2025A Bonds will not be adversely affected, if such requirements are not satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Tax Certificate, the Fiscal Agent: (i) shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with the provisions thereof if it follows all Requests of the City; (ii) shall have no liability or responsibility to enforce compliance by the City with the terms of the Tax Certificate; (iii) may rely conclusively on the City’s calculations and determinations and certifications relating to rebate matters; and (iv) shall have no responsibility to independently make any calculations or determinations or to review the City’s calculations or determinations thereunder.
Annual Computation. Within 55 days of the end of each Bond Year (as such term is defined in the Tax Certificate), the City shall calculate or cause to be calculated the amount of rebatable arbitrage, in accordance with Section 148(f)(2) of the Code and Section 1.1483 of the Treasury Regulations (taking into account any applicable exceptions with respect to the computation of the rebatable arbitrage, described, if applicable, in the Tax Certificate (e.g., the temporary investments exceptions of Section 148(f)(4)(B) and the construction expenditures exception of Section 148(f)(4)(C) of the Code), and taking into account whether the election pursuant to Section 148(f)(4)(C)(vii) of the Code (the “1½% Penalty”) has been made), for this purpose treating the last day of the applicable Bond Year as a computation date, within the meaning of Section 1.1481(b) of the Treasury Regulations (the “Rebatable Arbitrage”). The City shall obtain expert advice as to the amount of the Rebatable Arbitrage to comply with this Section.
Annual Transfer. Within 55 days of the end of each Bond Year, upon the written Request of the City, an amount shall be deposited to the 2025A Rebate Account by the Fiscal Agent from any Net Operating Revenues legally available for such purpose (as specified by the City in the aforesaid written Request), if and to the extent required so that the balance in the 2025A Rebate Account shall equal the amount of Rebatable Arbitrage so calculated in accordance with clause (i) of this subsection (A). In the event that immediately following the transfer required by the previous sentence, the amount then on deposit to the credit of the 2025A Rebate Account exceeds the amount required to be on deposit therein, upon written Request of the City, the Fiscal Agent shall withdraw the excess from the 2025A Rebate Account and then credit the excess to the Bond Service Account.
Payment to the Treasury. The Fiscal Agent shall pay, as directed by Request of the City, to the United States Treasury, out of amounts in the 2025A Rebate Account:
Not later than 60 days after the end of: (X) the fifth Bond Year; and (Y) each applicable fifth Bond Year thereafter, an amount equal to at least 90% of the Rebatable Arbitrage calculated as of the end of such Bond Year; and Not later than 60 days after the payment of all of the 2025A Bonds, an amount equal to 100% of the Rebatable Arbitrage calculated as of the end of such applicable Bond Year, and any income attributable to the Rebatable Arbitrage, computed in accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code and Section 1.1483 of the Treasury Regulations.
In the event that, prior to the time of any payment required to be made from the 2025A Rebate Account, the amount in the 2025A Rebate Account is not sufficient to make such payment when such payment is due, the City shall calculate or cause to be calculated the amount of such deficiency and deposit an amount received from any legally available source equal to such deficiency prior to the time such payment is due. Each payment required to be made pursuant to this subsection (A) shall be made to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Ogden, Utah 84201 on or before the date on which such payment is due, and shall be accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form 8038T (prepared by the City), or shall be made in such other manner as provided under the Code.
Disposition of Unexpended Funds. Any funds remaining in the 2025A Rebate Account after redemption and payment of the 2025A Bonds and the payments described in subsection (A) above being made may be withdrawn by the City and utilized in any manner by the City.
Survival of Defeasance. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the obligation to comply with the requirements of this Section shall survive the defeasance or payment in full of the 2025A Bonds.
Tax Covenants related to the 2025A Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sixth Supplemental Resolution or the Master Resolution, absent an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the 2025A Bonds will not be adversely affected for federal income tax purposes, the City covenants to comply with all applicable requirements of the Code that are necessary to preserve such exclusion from gross income with respect to the 2025A Bonds and specifically covenants, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as follows:
Private Activity. The City will take no action or refrain from taking any action, and the City will make no use of the proceeds of the 2025A Bonds or of any other moneys or property, which would cause the 2025A Bonds to be “private activity bonds” within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code; Arbitrage. The City will make no use of the proceeds of the 2025A Bonds or of any other amounts or property, regardless of the source, and the City will not take any action or refrain from taking any action, which will cause the 2025A Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code; Federal Guarantee. The City will make no use of the proceeds of the 2025A Bonds, and the City will not take or omit to take any action, that would cause the 2025A Bonds to be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code; Information Reporting. The City will take or cause to be taken all necessary action to comply with the informational reporting requirement of Section 149(e) of the Code which is necessary to preserve the exclusion of interest on the 2025A Bonds pursuant to Section 103(a) of the Code; Hedge Bonds. The City will make no use of the proceeds of the 2025A Bonds or any other amounts or property, regardless of the source, and the City will not take any action or refrain from taking any action, that would cause the 2025A Bonds to be considered “hedge bonds” within the meaning of Section 149(g) of the Code unless the City takes all necessary action to assure compliance with the requirements of Section 149(g) of the Code to maintain the exclusion from gross income of interest on the 2025A Bonds for federal income tax purposes; and Miscellaneous. The City will not take any action or refrain from taking any action which is inconsistent with its expectations stated in the Tax Certificate executed by the City in connection with the issuance of the 2025A Bonds and will comply with the covenants and requirements that are stated therein and incorporated by reference herein.
No Effect on Taxable Bonds. This Section and the covenants that are set forth herein shall not be applicable to, and nothing that is contained herein shall be deemed to prevent the City from issuing revenue bonds or executing and delivering contracts that are payable on a parity with the 2025A Bonds, the interest with respect to which has been determined to be subject to federal income taxation.
Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes the Treasurer (or any duly authorized designee thereof) to make elections permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Code or the Treasury Regulations, as the Treasurer or such designee (after consultation with Bond Counsel) deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the 2025A Bonds, in the Tax Certificate relating to the 2025A Bonds, or similar or other appropriate certificate, form or document.
Tax Certificate. The City covenants that in connection with the delivery of the 2025A Bonds it will execute and deliver the Tax Certificate, in such form and substance as is provided and accepted by Bond Counsel. All representations, warranties and covenants made by the City in the Tax Certificate, as the same may be amended or supplemented in accordance with its terms, are incorporated into and made a part of this Sixth Supplemental Resolution as though the same had been fully set forth herein.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Master Resolution (including this Sixth Supplemental Resolution) to the contrary, upon the City’s failure to observe, or refusal to comply with, any of the foregoing covenants in this Section 3.05, no Person other than the Owners of the 2025A Bonds shall be entitled to exercise any right or remedy provided to the Owners under the Master Resolution (including this Sixth Supplemental Resolution) on the basis of the City’s failure to observe, or refusal to comply with, such covenant.
Continuing Disclosure. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of its obligations under the Continuing Disclosure Certificate to be delivered by the City in connection with the issuance of the 2025A Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Master Resolution (including this Sixth Supplemental Resolution), failure of the City to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not be considered an Event of Default under the Master Resolution (including this Sixth Supplemental Resolution).
FISCAL AGENT
Fiscal Agent. The Treasurer (or the Treasurer’s designee) is hereby authorized, empowered and directed to appoint a Fiscal Agent with respect to the 2025A Bonds. The Fiscal Agent shall signify its acceptance of the duties and obligations hereunder by executing and delivering to the City a written acceptance in which the Fiscal Agent agrees to perform said duties and obligations as set forth in the Master Resolution and this Sixth Supplemental Resolution.
The City agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and save the Fiscal Agent, its officers, employees, directors and agents harmless against any liabilities it may incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties under the Master Resolution and this Sixth Supplemental Resolution which are not due to its negligence or willful misconduct.

The Fiscal Agent will furnish with the City periodic transaction statements which include detail for all investment transactions made by the Fiscal Agent hereunder; provided that the Fiscal Agent is not obligated to provide an accounting for any fund or account that (a) has a balance of $0.00 and (b) has not had any activity since the last reporting date.
The obligation of the City under this Section shall survive resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent under this Sixth Supplemental Resolution and payment of the 2025A Bonds and discharge of this Sixth Supplemental Resolution.
Retention and Dissemination of Available Information. The Fiscal Agent for the 2025A Bonds shall retain in its possession all reports, certificates and other documents received by it with respect to the 2025A Bonds, all of which shall be subject at all reasonable times during regular business hours with reasonable prior notice to inspection by the City, the Securities Depository with respect to the 2025A Bonds and any other Person that the City reasonably determines to be a beneficial owner of 2025A Bonds held by such Securities Depository, and the agents and representatives of any thereof.
