<br />Issuer is not in default as to any covenant, condition, or obligation in connection with all the Bonds,
<br />the Outstanding Bonds, and any Revenue Bonds, and the ordinances authorizing same, and that the

<br />consecutive calendar month period ending not more than ninety days prior to the passage of the
<br />ordinance authorizing the issuance of the then proposed Revenue Bonds, the Net Revenues were,
<br />if the then proposed Bonds are to be Revenue Bonds, at least equal to the aggregate of 1.10 times
<br />an amount equal to the average annual principal and interest requirements of all then outstanding
<br />bonds of any nature or lien which are payable from Net Revenues and which are scheduled to be
<br />outstanding after the delivery of the then proposed Revenue Bonds.

<br />period for which the Net Revenues are being calculated (hereinafterreferred to as the "entire period")
<br />then the certified public accountant shall determine and certify the amount of Net Revenues as being
<br />the total of (i) the actual Net Revenues for the entire period, plus (ii) a sum equal to the aggregate
