Section 10. Surplus Revenue Fund; Debt Service Account. In addition to the funds and accounts heretofore created by the resolutions providing for the issuance of the Electric Revenue Bonds, Issue of 1972, and Electric Revenue Bonds, Issue of 1976, which funds and accounts shall continue to be held and maintained in accordance with said resolutions, there is hereby created a special fund to be held by the Treasurer, called the Electric System Surplus Revenue Fund (the "Surplus Revenue Fund"). Within said fund there is hereby created an account called the Debt Service Account. The Treasurer shall deposit the surplus revenues as received in the Surplus Revenue Fund. On or before the twentieth day of each calendar month so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding, the Treasurer shall allocate to the Debt Service Account the following amounts: (1) One-sixth of the interest which will become due and payable on the outstanding Bonds within the next ensuing six months, except that for the first interest payment due after the issuance of the Bonds the monthly sum allocated shall be the interest which will become due and payable less the amount of any accrued interest placed in the Debt Service Account divided by the number of months remaining in said period; and (2) one-sixth of the principal amount which will mature and be payable on the outstanding Bonds within the next ensuing six months, except that for the first principal payment due after the issuance of the Bonds the monthly sum allocated shall be the principal amount which will be due and payable divided by the number of months remaining in said period. In the event that the allocations for each calendar month as aforesaid are less than the amounts required for that month because of lack of funds or for any other reason the deficiency shall be added to and become a part of the allocations required for the following calendar month. In any event, such sums shall be allocated so that the full amount required to pay, as they become due, the interest on said Bonds and any installment of principal on said Bonds shall be set aside in the Debt Service Account at least five days prior to the date the installment of interest or principal becomes due. Any moneys required to be set aside in the Debt Service Account may be prepaid in whole or in part by being earlier set aside therein, and in that event the monthly allocation which has been so prepaid need not be made at the time appointed therefor. Moneys in the Debt Service Account may be temporarily invested in any obligations in which the City may lawfully invest its funds, provided that the maturity or maturities thereof shall not be later than the date or dates on which money must be available in the Debt Service Account. 4 The Bonds and the interest coupons shall recite that they are payable from the Surplus Revenue Fund, but notwithstanding such recital shall be paid from the Debt Service Account. If after all of the Bonds and any parity bonds have been redeemed and cancelled or paid and cancelled (or provision is made therefor) there are moneys remaining in the Debt Service Account said moneys shall be transferred to the Surplus Revenue Fund. All moneys remaining in the Surplus Revenue Fund after all monthly allocations required hereunder have been made, and all covenants contained herein have been duly performed, may be: (1) invested in any obligations in which the City may lawfully invest its funds; (2) used for any purpose authorized by the resolutions providing for the issuance of senior lien bonds; or (3) used for any lawful purpose of the City, including but not limited to the security and payment of other indebtedness incurred in connection with the enterprise. Section 11. Investments. Obligations purchased as investments of moneys in the M & O Account, the Surplus Revenue Fund or the Debt Service Account shall be deemed at all times to be a part of such fund or account and any income realized from such investments shall be credited to such fund or account and any losses resulting from such investments shall be charged to such fund or account. The Treasurer shall sell at the best price obtainable or present for redemption any obligations so purchased whenever it may be necessary to do so in order to provide moneys to meet any payment or transfer from such fund or account. For the purpose of determining at any given time the balance in any such fund or account any such investments constituting a part of such fund or account shall be valued at the then estimated or appraised market value of such investments. Section 12. Warranty. The City shall preserve and protect the security of the Bonds and the rights of the bondholders and warrant and defend their rights against all claims and demands of all persons. Section 13. Covenants. So long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, the City makes the following covenants with the bondholders under the provisions of Section 1210 of the City Charter (to be performed by the City or its proper officers, agents or employees) which covenants are necessary, convenient and desirable to secure the Bonds and tend to make them more marketable; provided, however, that said covenants do not require the City to expend any moneys other than the revenues of the enterprise.

The City further covenants that the surplus revenues or any other funds pledged or otherwise made available to secure payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds shall not be mortgaged, encumbered, sold, leased, pledged, any charge placed thereon, or disposed of or used except as authorized by the terms of this Resolution and any resolution providing for the issuance of senior lien bonds. The City further covenants that it will not enter into any agreement which impairs the operation of the enterprise or any part of it necessary to secure adequate revenues to pay the principal and interest of the Bonds or which otherwise would impair the rights of the bond- holders with respect to the pledged revenues. If any substantial part of the enterprise is sold the payment therefor shall either be used for the acquisition and/or construction of improvements and extensions of the enterprise or shall be placed in the appropriate funds or accounts and shall be used to pay or call and redeem said Bonds, any parity bonds and any senior lien bonds in the manner provided in this Resolution, any resolution providing for the issuance of senior lien bonds, and any subsequent resolution. The City covenants that any amounts received as awards as a result of the taking of all or any part of the enterprise by the lawful exercise of eminent domain, if and to the extent that such right can be exercised against such property of the City, shall either be used for the acquisition and/or construction of improvements and extension of the enterprise or shall be placed in the appropriate funds or accounts and shall be used to pay or call and redeem said Bonds, any parity subordinated bonds and any senior lien bonds in the manner provided in this Resolution, any resolution providing for the issuance of senior lien bonds, and any subsequent resolution.

The money collected from insurance against accident, loss or damage shall be used for repairing or rebuilding the lost, damaged or destroyed works and properties, and to the extent not so applied, shall be applied to the retirement of said outstanding and unredeemed Bonds, any parity bonds and any senior lien bonds issued for the enterprise and for such purpose paid into the appropriate funds or accounts. The City shall also maintain with responsible insurers workmen's compensation insurance and insurance against public liability and property damage to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the City and the bondholders.

The City covenants that, except for refunding bonds, no additional indebtedness evidenced by revenue bonds, revenue notes or any other evidences of indebted- ness payable out of the revenues of the enterprise and ranking senior to or on a parity with the Bonds shall be created or incurred unless: First: The City is not in default under the terms of this Resolution. Second: The net revenues of the enterprise, calculated on sound accounting principles, as shown by the books of the City for each of the last two completed fiscal years prior to the adoption of the resolution of award of bids for such additional indebtedness as shown by an audit certificate or opinion of an independent certified public accountant or firm of certified public accountants employed by the City, plus, at the option of the City, the item hereinafter in this covenant desig- nated (a), shall have amounted to at least the amount of principal and interest which will become due and payable in the fiscal year next succeeding the fiscal year in which such additional indebted, ness is incurred on all indebtedness payable out of the revenues of the enterprise to be outstanding immediately subsequent to the incurring of such additional indebtedness. For said purposes, princi- FM pal requirements shall be construed to include mandatory annual sinking fund installments for any series of parity subordinated bonds issued or to be issued as term bonds. The item which may be added to such gross revenues for the purpose of applying the restriction contained in this covenant is the following: (a) An allowance for earnings arising from any increase in the charges made for service from the enterprise which has become effective prior to the incurring of such additional indebtedness but which, during all or any part of said last two completed fiscal years, was not in effect, in an amount equal to 95% of the amount by which the gross revenues would have been increased if such increase in charges had been in effect during the whole of said last two completed fiscal years, as shown by the certificate or opinion of independent certified public accountant or firm of certified public accountants employed by the City. The requirements of the foregoing covenant are in addition to the requirements of any prior covenant(s) heretofore made in connection with the issuance of senior lien bonds that may also be applicable to the issuance of additional indebtedness. Section 14. Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Bonds.

The City may authorize such new Bond or coupon or coupons to be signed and authenticated in such manner as it determines in said resolution. Section 15. Cancellation of Bonds. All Bonds and coupons surrendered to the Treasurer or any paying agent of the City for payment upon maturity or for redemption Shan upon payment therefor be cancelled immediately. Any Bonds purchased by the City as authorized herein together with all unpaid coupons pertaining thereto shall be cancelled forthwith and shall not be reissued. Section 16. Consent of Bondholders. The consents of bondholders provided for in this section shall relate solely to the amendment, waiver or modification of the covenants specified in Section 13 hereof and shall not be effective to waive or modify any other provisions of this Resolution or any other proceedings for the issuance of the Bonds.

(g) Written Consent of f Bondholders. If the City shall desire to obtain any such consent in writing, without a meeting of bondholders, the City Council may, by resolution, propose the action, to which consent is desired. A copy of such resolution, together with a request to bondholders for their consent to the action proposed therein, shall be published once in a financial newspaper or journal of national circulation published in the City of New York, New York. If any of the Bonds shall be so registered as to be payable otherwise than to bearer, the City Clerk of the City shall, on or before the publication of such resolution and request, mail a copy thereof to each registered owner at the address appearing on the bond registry books. The actual receipt by any bondholder of such resolution and request shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the obtaining of such consent. A certificate by said City Clerk, approved by resolution of the City Council, that said resolution and request has been published and mailed as herein provided shall be conclusive as against all parties, and it shall not be open to any bondholder to show that he failed to receive such resolution and consent. Each written consent shall be accompanied by proof of ownership of the Bonds for which such consent is given. Proof of ownership shall be made in such manner as shall be prescribed by the resolution proposing the action. Any such written consent shall be binding upon the holder of the Bonds giving such consent and on any subsequent holder (whether or not such subsequent holder has notice thereof) unless such consent is revoked in writing by the holder giving such consent or by the subsequent holder. To be effective, any revocation of consent must be filed before the adoption of the resolution accepting consents as hereinafter provided.

Said contract is made under and is to be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

Moneys so set aside may be invested in any direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the United States of America, or in obligations of any agency thereof, in which the City may lawfully invest its money and, to the extent not so invested, may be placed with banks as inactive deposits in the manner provided by law.
