15 EL185-68-707442.v4 Section 10. Additional Bonds. Additional Bonds shall be issued and made payable from the Net Revenues of the Electric System only as provided in this section. One or more series of Additional Bonds may be issued on a parity of lien with the Outstanding Bonds, if (except as otherwise provided in this Section 10) the Net Revenues of the Electric System for the Audited Fiscal Year immediately preceding the issuance of such Additional Bonds, adjusted as hereinafter provided, were not less than 125% of the average annual principal and interest due on all Outstanding Bonds and on the Additional Bonds to be issued, during the remaining term of the Outstanding Bonds. No Additional Bonds shall be issued unless each of the following conditions is satisfied prior to the issuance thereof, such satisfaction to be shown by a certificate of the President of the Commission and the resolution authorizing the issuance thereof: (a) The payments required to be made (at the time of the issuance of such Additional Bonds) into the various accounts provided for in this Resolution have been made. (b) The resolution authorizing such Additional Bonds provides for payment to the Reserve Account upon delivery of such Additional Bonds, from the proceeds thereof or any other source, of an amount necessary to cause the aggregate balance in the Reserve Account to equal the Reserve Requirement. (c) The proceeds of such Additional Bonds shall be used only for the purpose of making improvements, additions, extensions, renewals or replacements to the Electric System, or refunding bonds payable from the Debt Service Account. For purposes of the coverage test set forth above, the Net Revenues for the last Audited Fiscal Year immediately preceding the issuance of such Additional Bonds, may be adjusted for such Fiscal Year as follows: (1) the Gross Revenues for such Audited Fiscal Year may be increased to reflect the Gross Revenues which would have been received had any rate increase placed in effect after the commencement of the Audited Fiscal Year been in effect for the entire Audited Fiscal Year; and (2) by including the additional revenues reasonably determined by the Commission to be likely to result from the acquisition and construction of the facilities to be financed by such Additional Bonds, provided that the debt service on the proposed Additional Bonds is funded until the estimated date of completion of such facilities. The Commission also reserves the right to cause the issuance of Additional Bonds if and to the extent needed to refund maturing Series 2021B Bonds payable from the Debt Service Account in case the money on hand therein is insufficient to pay the same at maturity, which refunding revenue bonds may be on a parity with the Outstanding Bonds, but shall mature subsequent to all Outstanding Bonds which are not to be refunded by such Additional Bonds. The Commission also reserves the right to cause the issuance of Additional Bonds payable on a parity as to both principal and interest with the Outstanding Bonds to refund Series 2021 Bonds if the maximum amount of principal and interest payable on the Outstanding Bonds and such Additional Bonds in the then current or any future calendar year is not increased by more than 5%. 76
