Authorization of the Notes; Payment, Registration and Transfer. In order to repay the 2022 Note, finance capital expenditures and general City liquidity needs, the City shall establish a revolving line of credit in the principal amount of not to exceed $7,000,000 and issue and sell a tax-exempt limited tax general obligation bond anticipation (the "Tax-Exempt Note") and a taxable limited tax general obligation bond anticipation note (the "Taxable Note," and together with the Tax-Exempt Note, the "Notes") to evidence such line of credit. The Tax-Exempt Note shall be designated the "City of Camas, Washington Limited Tax General Obligation Bond Anticipation Note, 2024 (Tax-Exempt)" and the Taxable Note shall be designated the "City of Camas, Washington Limited Tax General Obligation Bond Anticipation Note, 2024 (Taxable)." The aggregate principal amount drawn under both Notes shall not exceed $7,000,000. The Notes shall be dated the date of delivery to the Purchaser (the "Date of Delivery"). Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes, if any, shall be payable on the first day of each month, commencing November 1, 2024. The Notes mature on, and all outstanding principal and interest on the Notes must be paid by, a date that is two years from the dated date of the Notes (the "Maturity Date"). The Notes are a revolving line of credit, so that principal amounts previously advanced and repaid may be drawn again; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all draws under the Tax-Exempt Note and the Taxable Note that have not been repaid may at no time exceed $7,000,000. Each draw pursuant to a Request for Draw for any p01iion of proceeds to be used for a permitted tax -exempt purpose under the Code and satisfying the conditions set forth in Section 9 of this ordinance regarding conditions for the initial tax-exempt draw, shall be taken on the Tax-Exempt Note and bear interest at the Tax-Exempt Rate. Such Request for a Draw shall mark the Tax-Exempt Note box on the draw form. Each draw pursuant to a Request for Draw for any portion of proceeds that is not used for a permitted tax exempt-purpose under the Code shall be taken on the Taxable Note and bear interest at the Taxable Rate. Such Request for a Draw shall mark the Taxable Note box on the draw form. Interest on each draw shall accrue from the latter of (i) the Draw Date set forth on the Request for a Draw and (ii) the date of actual funding of the draw by Purchaser, until paid and such interest shall be computed on the principal amount outstanding on each day and at the applicable interest rate for that day during the applicable interest period on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 30-day months. Interest payable on the Notes on each interest payment date shall be the sum of interest accruing on all the outstanding draws during the interest period. Any Request for a Draw shall be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto with the blanks appropriately completed. Each Authorized Officer is hereby authorized to review and determine whether the draw is for a permitted tax-exempt purpose (in which such draw will be taken on the Tax-Exempt Note and bear interest at the Tax-Exempt Rate) or that it is not for a permitted tax- exempt purpose (in which case such draw will be taken on the Taxable Note and bear interest at the Taxable Rate). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as an event of default (as defined in Section 12) has occurred and is continuing hereunder, outstanding principal amounts may bear interest at a default rate as outlined in Section 12 hereof. The Notes shall be issued in fully registered form. Both principal of and interest on the Notes shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America by check, warrant, wire transfer or automatic clearinghouse funds.

Principal and interest shall be an obligation only of the Note Fund. The City Finance Director shall act as Note Registrar. The Outstanding Principal Balance of the Note on any particular day shall be the aggregate of all funds which the City has drawn from the date of the Tax-Exempt Note or the Taxable Note to that day less the aggregate of all principal payments made by the City on or before that day on that Note.

The Notes may only be assigned together by the Purchaser to another qualified investor satisfying the requirements set fo1ih in the certificate to be signed by the Purchaser on the Date of Delivery.

The Purchaser does not watTant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to Te1m SOFR, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or any alternative, comparable or successor rate thereto (including any then-current - 8 - FG: 102972097 .2 Docusign Envelope ID: FCE258C0-CF4E-4EDF-9088-C129BEADD365 Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, comparable or successor rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

Upon notice thereof by the Purchaser to the City, any obligation of the Purchaser to make or continue loans pursuant to draws shall be suspended until the Purchaser revokes such notice . Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the City may revoke any pending request for draws or, failing that, the City will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a draw based on the Base Rate in the amount specified therein and (ii) for any outstanding draws the interest rate shall be converted to the Base Rate at the end of the applicable Term SOFR Index Reset Rate.

(c) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the City and Purchaser, upon the consent of the other, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Notes, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this section. -9 - FG: 102972097 .2 Docusign Envelope ID: FCE258C0-CF4E-4EDF-9088-C129BEADD365 ( e) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Notes, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Purchaser in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of info1mation announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Purchaser may modify the Interest Period for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor, upon notice to the City, and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Purchaser may modify the Interest Period for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor, upon consent of the City.
