(2) Whenever Gross Revenues are less in any Fiscal Year
than the amount required in Subsection G( 1) above, the Issuer will promptly retain a Rate
Consultant to prepare and present to the governing body of the Issuer a rate study

facilities of the System as will, in the opinion of the Rate Consultant, generate Gross
Revenues sufficient to meet such requirements in each of the next five (5) full Fiscal
Years. The Issuer will implement the recommendations of the Rate Consultant or, with
the concurrence of the Rate Consultants, such other rate revisions as the Issuer may find
will generate such Gross Revenues.

System which the Issuer shall hereafter determine, in the manner provided herein, to be
no longer necessary, useful or profitable in the operation of the System.

City Manager of the Issuer or other duly authorized officer in charge thereof shall make a
finding in writing determining that such property comprising a part of the System is no

lease or other disposition of said property shall be in excess of $50,000 but not in excess
of $100,000 such City Manager or other officer shall first make a finding in writing
determining that such property comprising a part of the System is no longer necessary,
useful or profitable in the operation thereof, and the governing body of the Issuer shall,
by resolution duly adopted, approve and concur in the finding of the City Manager or
other officer, and authorize such sale, lease or other disposition of said property.
(d) If the amount to be received from such sale,
lease or other disposition of said property shall be in excess of $100,000, the City
Manager or other officer shall first make a finding in writing determining that such
property comprising a part of the System is no longer necessary, useful or profitable in
the operation thereof, and the Consulting Engineer shall make a finding that it is in the
best interest of the System that such property be disposed of, and the governing body of
the Issuer shall by resolution, duly adopted, approve and concur in the findings of the

disposition of the property of the System are in excess of 10% of the value of the fixed
assets of the System according to the most recent annual audit, such proceeds shall be
used for the retirement of Outstanding Bonds. If the proceeds derived from any such sale
or other disposition of property are less than 10% of the value of the fixed assets of the
System according to the most recent annual audit, such proceeds shall be placed in the
Renewal and Replacement Fund or used for the retirement of outstanding Bonds, in such
proportions as are determined by the governing body of the Issuer upon the
recommendations of the City Manager. The payment of such proceeds into the Renewal
and Replacement Fund shall not reduce the amounts required to be paid into such Fund
by Section 15.C.(l0) herein.

insurance on all buildings and structures of the works and properties of the System which
are subject to loss through fire or windstorm, and will otherwise carry insurance of all
kinds and in the amounts normally carried in the operation of similar facilities and
properties in Florida; provided, however, that in lieu of such insurance the Issuer may
establish a qualified plan of self-insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of
Florida. Any such insurance shall be carried for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds.
All moneys received for losses under any of such insurance, except public liability, are
hereby pledged by the Issuer as security for the Bonds and Notes, until and unless such

either by repairing the property damaged or replacing the property destroyed as soon as
practicable. Any such proceeds not used for repair or replacement shall be used for the
retirement of outstanding Bonds or Notes.
L. No Free Service. The Issuer will not render or cause to be
rendered any free services of any nature by its System, nor will any preferential rates be

the Issuer and any such department, agency or instrumentality. Such charges shall be
paid as they accrue, and the Issuer shall transfer from its general funds to the Revenue
Fund sufficient sums to pay such charges. The revenues so received shall be deemed to
be Gross Revenues derived from the operation of the System, and shall be deposited and
accounted for in the same manner as other Gross Revenues derived from such operation
of the System.
M. Mandatory Cut Off. To the extent permitted by law, upon
failure of any user to pay for services rendered by the System within not more than sixty
(60) days, the Issuer shall shut off the connection of such user and shall not furnish him
or permit him to receive from the System further service until all obligations owed by
him to the Issuer on account of services shall have been paid in full. This covenant shall
not, however, prevent the Issuer from causing the System connection to be shut off
sooner.

enforce and collect the rates, fees and other charges for the services and facilities of the
System herein pledged: will take all steps, actions and proceedings for the enforcement
and collection of such rates, charges and fees as shall become delinquent to the full extent

of Florida, or granted and contained herein, and may enforce and compel the performance
of all duties required herein or by any applicable statutes relating to the System or the
Bonds to be performed by the Issuer or by any officer thereof and shall have such
additional rights and remedies as may be set forth in the applicable Supplemental

anyone or more of the covenants, agreements, or provisions herein contained shall be
held contrary to any express provision of law or contrary to the policy of express law,
