"County") has determined that it is necessary and desirable to issue its Sewer Refunding
and Revenue Bond, Series 2000, in the maximum principal amount of $5,600,000 (the
"Bond"), and to use the proceeds thereof, along with other available funds, if any, to
refinance the County's outstanding $5,600,000 Sewer Revenue Bond, Series 1999 (the
"1999 Bond") and finance the County's portion of the expansion of the Roanoke Regional
Wastewater Treatment Facility (the "Project").
B. The Bond will be sold by the County to or at the direction of the Virginia
Resources Authority ("VRA"), pursuant to the terms of a Financing Agreement (the
"Financing Agreement") between the County and VRA, to be dated as of a date specified
by VRA.
C. The Bond will be issued as a "Parity Bond" as defined in the Financing
Agreement dated as of December 1, 1996 (the 1996 Financing Agreement"), between the
County and the Virginia Water Facilities Revolving Fund, acting by and through VRA. The
Bond will be secured by a pledge of the revenues (as more particularly defined in the
Financing Agreement, the "Revenues") derived by the County from the ownership and
operation of its wastewater system (as more particularly defined in the Financing
Agreement, the "System"). The Bond will be secured on parity with the County's
outstanding Sewer Revenue Bond, Series 1996 (the "1996 Bond"), with respect to the
pledge of Revenues.
D. The Board is not required to hold a public hearing on the issuance of the Bond,
as provided in Sections 15.2-2606 and 15.2-2643 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as
amended (the "Virginia Code").

the Bond to or at the direction of VRA, all pursuant to the Public Finance Act and the terms
of this Resolution and the Financing Agreement. Such issuance, award and sale of the
Bond are hereby authorized and approved. The Bond shall be known as the "County of
Roanoke, Virginia, Sewer Refunding and Revenue Bond, Series 2000." The proceeds from

to pay the costs of the Project.

authorized to be advanced under the Bond shall not exceed $5,600,000, (ii) the interest
rate on the Bond shall not exceed three and one-half percent (3.5%) per annum, (iii) the
Bond shall have a substantially level maturity or payment schedule from and after the date

of such details shall be evidenced conclusively by the due execution and delivery of the
Bond on the County's behalf to or at the direction of VRA.
4. Pledge of Revenues. The Bond shall be a limited obligation of the County and,
except to the extent payable from the proceeds of the sale of the Bond or the income, if
any, derived from the investment thereof, is payable exclusively from the Revenues of the
System which the County hereby pledges to the payment of the principal of and interest on
the Bond pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement. The Bond will be issued as
a Parity Bond as defined in the 1996 Financing Agreement, and will be secured on parity
with the 1996 Bond with respect to the pledge of Revenues. Neither the Commonwealth
of Virginia nor any of its political subdivisions, including the County, shall be obligated to
pay the principal of or interest on the Bond or other costs incident to it except from the
revenues and any other money or property pledged for such purpose, and neither the faith
and credit nor the taxing power of the Commonwealth of Virginia or any of its political
subdivisions, including the County, is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest
on the Bond or other costs incident to it. The issuance of the Bond does not directly,

A to the Financing Agreement, with such variations, insertions or deletions as may be
approved by the Chairman of the Board (the "Chairman") or the Vice Chairman of the
Board (the "Vice Chairman"). There may be endorsed on the Bond such legend or text as
may be necessary or appropriate to conform to any applicable rules and regulations of any
governmental authority or any usage or requirement of law with respect thereto.
6. Evidence of Approval. The Chairman's or Vice Chairman's approval or
determination of all of the details and provisions of the Bond that he has been authorized

execution and delivery of the Bond on the County's behalf.
7. Redemption of Bond. The Bond shall not be subject to optional redemption
without the consent of VRA, as set forth in the Bond and the Financing Agreement.

the Bond to be delivered to or at the direction of VRA upon payment of the first principal
advance thereunder. An authorized representative or other designee of VRA shall enter
the amount and date of each principal advance as provided in the Certificate of Advances
attached to the Bond when the proceeds of such advance are delivered to the County.
9. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Board appoints the Director of
Finance as its registrar and transfer agent to keep books for the registration and transfer
of the Bond and to make such registrations and transfers on such books under such
reasonable regulations as the County may prescribe.
Upon surrender for transfer or exchange of the Bond at the office of the Director of
Finance, the County shall cause the execution and delivery in the name of the transferee
or registered owner, as applicable, of a new Bond for a principal amount equal to the Bond
surrendered and of the same date and tenor as the Bond surrendered, subject in each case
to such reasonable regulations as the County may prescribe. If surrendered for transfer,
exchange, redemption or payment, the Bond shall be accompanied by a written instrument
or instruments of transfer or authorization for exchange, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Director of Finance, duly executed by the registered owner or by his or
her duly authorized attorney-in-fact or legal representative.

obligation of the County, evidencing the same debt as the Bond surrendered and shall be
entitled to all of the security and benefits of this Resolution to the same extent as the Bond
surrendered.

exchange or transfer of the Bond, but the Director of Finance may require payment by the
holder of the Bond of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or any other governmental charge

tenor in exchange and substitution for, and upon delivery to the Director of Finance and
cancellation of, such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost, stolen or
destroyed Bond; provided, however, that the County shall execute, authenticate and deliver
a new Bond only if its registered owner has paid the reasonable expenses and charges of
the County in connection therewith and, in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Bond (i)
has filed with the Director of Finance evidence satisfactory to him or her that such Bond
was lost, stolen or destroyed and that the holder of the Bond was its registered owner and
