Ordinance No. 1733 Page 3 of 6 The City may make incremental draws upon the Note (the "Loan Draws") on any business day during the term of the Note. No Loan Draw may exceed the total amount of the costs to be paid from such draw, and the proceeds of each Loan Draw shall be used immediately to pay those costs. Loan Draws on the Note shall be recorded on the Loan Draw Record attached to the Note, or in such other form as the City and the Bank may agree. Loan Draws shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of $3,300,000. Loan Draws are not subject to approval by the Bank. SECTION 5. Computation of Interest on the Note. Each Loan Draw shall bear interest at the rate of 55% (calculated on an actual 365/day basis) of the rate of interest designated and published by the Bank as its reference rate, as such reference rate may change from time to time (the "Reference Rate").

If any principal bearing interest at a fixed rate is repaid prior to the expiration of such fixed rate, such prepayment shall be subject to a prepayment fee determined in accordance with Exhibit 1 attached to this ordinance. Interest on each Loan Draw shall accrue from the date of that Loan Draw and shall be computed on the principal amount of the Loan Draw outstanding for the actual number of days the principal amount of the Loan Draw is outstanding. If the Note is not redeemed when properly presented at its maturity or call date, the City shall be obligated to pay interest on the Note at the rate specified above until the Note, both principal and interest, is paid in full or until sufficient money for that payment in full is on deposit in the Note Fund. The City Council finds that the fixing of the above interest rates and rate indices is in the best interest of the City. SECTION 6. Designation of Officers to Make Loan Draws. The City Council has determined it to be in the best interest of the City that the City Treasurer or such other person as the City Treasurer may designate, is authorized to make Loan Draws against the Note in the amounts and at the times as the City Treasurer may determine, those Loan Draws to be made in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth herein. SECTION 7. Creation of Note Fund; Payment of the Note.

SECTION 13. Designation of Note as "Qualified Tax -Exempt Obligations". The City finds and declares that (a) it is a duly organized and existing governmental unit of the State of Washington and has general taxing power; (b) the Note is not a "private activity bond" within the meaning of Section 141 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); (c) at least 95% of the net proceeds of the Note will be used for local governmental activities of the City (or of a governmental unit the jurisdiction of which is entirely within the jurisdiction of the City); (d) the aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds and other obligations not required to be included in such calculation) issued by the City and all entities subordinate to the City (including any entity which the City controls, which derives its authority to issue tax-exempt obligations from the City or which issues tax-exempt obligations on behalf of the City) during the calendar year in which the Note is issued is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000; and (e) the amount of tax-exempt obligations, including the Note, designated by the City as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for the purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code during the calendar year in which the Note is issued does not exceed $10,000,000. The City therefore certifies that the Note is eligible for the arbitrage rebate exception under Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code and designates the Note as "qualified tax-exempt obligation" for the purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. SECTION 14 . Sale and Delivery of the Note. The Bank has submitted an offer to purchase the Note under the terms and conditions of its Offer, which Offer is on file with the City Treasurer.

SECTION 15. Representation Concerning the Year 2000. The City has conducted a review and assessment of the City's computer applications and made inquiry of the City's key suppliers, vendors, and customers with respect to the "year 2000 problem" (that is, the risk that computer applications may not be able to properly perform date -sensitive functions after December 31, 1999) and, based on that review and inquiry, the City does not believe the year 2000 problem will result in a material adverse change in the City's business conditions (financial or otherwise), operations, properties or prospects, or ability to repay the credit.

ATTEST: Patricia Parks, City Cferrk APPROVED AS TO FORM: ZAt"6�;� LESLIE J. WEATHERILL, MAYOR Sponsored by: Foster Pepper & Shefel an PLLC Councilman Geiger Special Counsel and Bond Counsel to the City Exhibit 1 — PREPAYMENT FL�S If the principal balance of the Note is prepaid in whole or in part, whether by voluntary prepayment, operation of law, acceleration or otherwise, a prepayment fee, in addition to any interest earned, will be immediately payable to the holder of the Note. The amount of the prepayment fee depends on the following: (1) The amount by which interest reference rates as defined below have changed between the time the loan is prepaid and either a) the time the loan was made for fixed rate loans, or b) the time the interest rate last changed (repriced) for variable rate loans. (2) A prepayment fee factor (see "Prepayment Fee Factor Schedule" following), (3) The amount of principal prepaid. Definition of Prepayment Reference Rate for Variable Rate Loans The 'Prepayment Reference Rate" used to represent interest rate levels for variable rate loans shall be the index rate used to determine the rate on this loan having maturities equivalent to the remaining period to interest rate change date (repricing) of this loan rounded upward to the nearest month. The "Initial Prepayment Reference Rate" shall be the Prepayment Reference Rate at the time of last repricing and a new Initial Prepayment Reference Rate shall be assigned at each subsequent repricing. The "Final Prepayment Reference Rate' shall be the Prepayment Reference Rate at the time of prepayment. Definition of Prepayment Reference Rate for Fixed Rate Loans The 'Prepayment Reference Rate" used to represent interest rate levels on fixed rate loans shall be the bond equivalent yield of the average U.S. Treasury rate having maturities equivalent to the remaining period to maturity of this loan rounded upward to the nearest month. The "Initial Prepayment Reference Rate" shall be the Prepayment Reference Rate at the time the loan was made. The "Final Prepayment Reference Rate" shall be the Prepayment Reference Rate at time of prepayment. The Prepayment Reference Rate shall be interpolated from the yields as displayed on Page 119 of the Dow JonesTelerate Service (or such other page or service as may replace that page or service for the purpose of displaying rates comparable to said U.S. Treasury rates) on the day the loan was made (Initial Prepayment Reference Rate) or the day of prepayment (Final Prepayment Reference Rate). Calculation Of Prepayment Fee If the Initial Prepayment Reference Rate is less than or equal to the Final Prepayment Reference Rate, there is no prepayment fee. If the Initial Prepayment Reference Rate is greater than the Final Prepayment Reference Rate, the prepayment fee shall be equal to the difference between the Initial and Final Prepayment Reference Rates (expressed as a decimal), multiplied by the appropriate factor from the Prepayment Fee Factor Schedule, multiplied by the principal amount of the loan being prepaid. Example of Prepayment Fee Calculation Variable Rate Loan: A non -amortizing 6-month LIBOR based loan with principal of $250,000 is fully prepaid with 3 months remaining until next interest rate change date (repricing). An Initial Prepayment Reference Rate of 7.0% was assigned to the loan at last repricing. The Final Prepayment Reference Rate (as determined by the 3-month LIBOR index) is 6.5%. Rates therefore have dropped 0.5% since last repricing and a prepayment fee applies. A prepayment fee factor of 0.31 is determined from Table 3 below and the prepayment fee is computed as follows: Prepayment Fee = (0.07 - 0.065) x (0.31) x ($250,000) = $387.50 Fixed Rate Loan: An amortizing loan with remaining principal of $250,000 is fully prepaid with 24 month remaining until maturity. An Initial Prepayment Reference Rate is 9.0% was assigned to the loan when the loan was made. The Final Prepayment Reference Rate (as determined by the current 24-month U.S. Treasury rate on Page 119 of Telerate) is 7.5%. Rates therefore have dropped 1.5% since the loan was made and a prepayment fee applies. A prepayment fee factor of 1.3 is determined from Table 1 below and the prepayment foe is computed as follows: Prepayment Fee = (0.09 - 0.075) x (1.3) x ($250,000) = $4,875.
