SECTION ~ For and in consideration of the purchase and acceptance of the bonds authorized by this ordinance and to facilitate their payment, with interest, the City agrees to the following terms: (a) None of the facilities or services afforded by the System shall be furnished without a reasonable charge being made therefor. In the event that the City or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof shall avail itself of the facilities or services afforded by the System, the reasonable value of the services and facilities so afforded shall be charged against the City or such department, agency, or instrumentality, and shall be paid for as the charges therefor accrue. The revenues so received from the City shall be deemed to be revenues derived from the operation of the System; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the City or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof to avail itself of the facilities or services afforded by the System.

In the event of loss, the proceeds of such insurance are to be applied solely toward the reconstruction, replacement, or repair of the System. In such event the City will, with reasonable promptness, cause to be commenced and completed the reconstruction, replacement and repairs. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the City to expend any funds for premiums on its insurance on the System which are derived from sources other than the operation of the System. (c) The City Treasurer shall be the custodian of the revues derived from the System, and shall give bond as such custodian. Such bond shall be in an amount not less than $ ~ DD D ~ and shall be approved by the Trustee.

(h) So long as any of the bonds are outstanding, the City will not mortgage, pledge, or otherwise encumber the System or any part thereof or any revenues therefrom, except as herein provided, and will not sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of any substantial portion of the same.

In the event that the City fails or refuses to make the audit, the Trustee may have the audit made, the cost thereof to be charged to the cost of operation. (j) If there be any default in the payment of either the principal of or the interest on any of the bonds, the holder or holders of any of the bonds may enforce any mortgage lien granted by statute and may by proper suit compel the performance of the duties of the officials of the City, as set forth in the statutes authorizing the bonds. If there be default in the payment of the principal of or interest on the bonds or if the City shall fail to keep any other obligation which it herein assumes, and such default shall continue for thirty days thereafter, any court having jurisdiction in any proper action, which may be instituted either by the Trustee on behalf of ail the bond- holders, or by the holder of a bond in default, may appoint a receiver to administer the System on behalf of the City, with power to charge and collect rates sufficient to provide for the expenses of the receivership, the payment of the bonds and interest thereon, and for the payment of the operating expenses, and to apply the income and revenues in conformity with said statutes and this ordinance providing for the issuance of said bonds, but when all defaults are cured, the receivership shall be ended and the management and control of the System restored to the City. (k) The City further covenants and agrees that if default is made in the payment of any bond or coupon, or i.f the City fails to meet any sinking fund requirements, the holder of such bond may declare that bond immediately due and payable and in default, and either the Trustee on behalf of all the bondholders or any bondholder for himself may institute suit to enforce the pledge lien herein granted.

All unpaid interest coupons maturing on or prior to the date of such payment or purchase shall continue to be payable to the respective bearers thereof. (o) It is hereby declared that the provisions of this ordinance are separable, and if any provision of this ordinance shall for any reason be held illegal or invalid, it shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the ordinance. (p) It is hereby declared that the provisions of this ordinance constitute a contract by and between the City and the holders of the bonds and interest coupons issued by authority hereof; and after the bonds have been issued and paid for, the terms of said provisions shall not be changed except with the written consent of the holders of all bonds and coupons then outstanding.
