the Paying Agent/Registrar to obtain from the registered owner and record in the Registration Books
the address to which payments with respect to the Obligations owned by any such registered owner
thereof shall be mailed as herein provided. The City or its designee shall have the right to inspect the
Registration Books during regular business hours of the Paying Agent/Registrar at its Designated Trust
Office, but otherwise the Paying Agent/Registrar shall keep the Registration Books confidential and,
unless otherwise required by law, shall not permit their inspection by any other entity. Registration of
-6-
each Obligation may be transferred in the Registration Books only upon presentation and surrender
thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar at its Designated Trust Office for transfer of registration and
cancellation, together with proper written instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee of
signatures satisfactory to the PayingAgent/Registrar, evidencing the assignment thereof, or any portion
thereof in any integral multiple of $5,000, to the assignee or assignees thereof, and the right of such
assignee or assignees to have the Obligation or any such portion thereof registered in the name of such
,.
assignee or assignees. Upon the assignment and transfer of any Obligation or any portion thereof, a
new substitute bond or bonds shall be issued in exchange therefor in the manner herein provided.
(b) The entity in whose name any Obligation shall be registered in the Registration Books at
any time shall be treated as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes of this Ordinance, whether or
not such Obligation shall be overdue, and the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be affected
by any notice to the contrary; and payment of, or on account of, the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on any such Obligation shall be made only to such registered owner. All such payments shall
be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Obligation to the extent of the sutra
or sums so paid.
(c) The City hereby further appoints the Paying Agent/Registrar to act as the paying agent for
paying the principal of and interest on the Obligations, and to act as its agent to exchange or replace
Obligations, all as provided in this Ordinance. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall keep proper records
of all payments made by the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar with respect to the Obligations, and
of all exchanges of such Obligations, and all replacements of such Obligations, as provided in this Ordi-
nance.
(d) Each Obligation may be exchanged for fully registered bonds in the manner set forth
herein. Each Obligation issued and delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, to the extent of the unpaid
-7-
or unredeemed principal amount thereof, may, upon surrender thereof at the Designated Trust Office
of the Paying Agent/Registrar, together with a written request therefor duly executed by the registered
owner or the assignee or assignees thereof, or its or their duly authorized attorneys or representatives,
with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, at the option of the registered
owner or such assignee or assignees, as appropriate, be exchanged for fully registered bonds, without
interest coupons, in the form prescribed in the FORM OF BOND, in the denomination of $5,000 or
any integral multiple thereof (subject to the requirement hereinafter stated that each substitute
Obligation shall have a single stated maturity date), as requested in writing by such registered owner or
such assignee or assignees, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid or unredeemed
principal amount of any Obligation or Obligations so surrendered, and payable to the appropriate
registered owner, assignee, or assignees, as the case may be. If a portion of any Obligation shall be
redeemed prior to its scheduled maturity as provided herein, a substitute Obligation or Obligations
having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate, in the denomination or denominations
of any integral multiple of $5,000 at the request of the registered owner, and in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof, will be issued to the registered owner upon surrender
thereof for cancellation. If any Obligation or portion thereof is assigned and transferred, each bond
issued in exchange therefor shall have the same principal maturity date and bear interest at the same
rate as the Obligation for which it is being exchanged.. Each substitute Obligation shall bear a letter
and/or number to distinguish it from each other Obligation. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall
exchange or replace Obligations as provided herein, and each fully registered bond or bonds delivered
in exchange for or replacement of any Obligation or portion thereof as permitted or required by any
provision of this Ordinance shall constitute one of the Obligations for all purposes of this Ordinance,
and may again be exchanged or replaced. It is specifically provided, however, that any Obligation
-8-
delivered in exchange for or replacement of another Obligation prior to the first scheduled interest
payment date on the Obligations (as stated on the face thereof) shall be dated the same date as such
Obligation, but each substitute bond so delivered on or after such first scheduled interest payment date
shall be dated as of the interest payment date preceding the date on which such substitute bond is de-
livered, unless such substitute bond is delivered on an interest payment date, in which case it shall be
dated as of such date of delivery; provided, however, that if at the time of delivery of any substitute
bond the interest on the Obligation for which it is being exchanged has not been paid, then such
substitute bond shall be dated as of the date to which such interest has been paid in full. On each
substitute bond issued in exchange for or replacement of any Obligation issued under this Ordinance
there shall be printed thereon a Paying Agent/Registrar's Authentication Certificate (the
"Authentication Certificate"), in the form set forth in the FORM OF BOND. An authorized
representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, before the delivery of any such substitute
Obligation, date such substitute Obligation in the manner set forth above, and manually sign and date
the Authentication Certificate, and no such substitute Obligation shall be deemed to be issued or out-
standing unless the Authentication Certificate is so executed. The Paying Agent/Registrar promptly
shall cancel all Obligations surrendered for exchange or replacement. No additional ordinances, orders,
or resolutions need be passed or adopted by the City Council or any other body or person so as to
accomplish the foregoing exchange or replacement of any Obligation or portion thereof, and the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall provide for the printing, execution, and delivery of the substitute bonds
in the manner prescribed herein. Pursuant to Chapter 1206, Texas Government Code, the duty of
exchange or replacement of any Obligations as aforesaid is hereby imposed upon the Paying
Agent/Registrar, and, upon the execution of the Authentication Certificate, the exchanged or replaced
Obligation shall be valid, incontestable, and enforceable in the same manner and with the same effect
-9-
as the Obligations which originally were delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, approved by the
Attorney General, and registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts. Neither the City nor the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required (1) to issue, transfer, or exchange any Obligation during a
period beginning at the opening of business 30 days before the day of the first mailing of a notice of
redemption of Obligations and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (2) to
transfer or exchange any Obligation so selected for redemption in whole when such redemption is
scheduled to occur within. 30 calendar days.

of (i) shall be issued in fully registered form, without interest coupons, with the principal of and interest
on such Obligations to be payable only to the registered owners thereof, (ii) maybe redeemed prior

Obligations,'(v) shall have the characteristics, (vi) shall be signed and sealed, and (vii) the principal of
and interest on the Obligations shall be payable, all as provided, and in the manner required or
indicated, in the FORM OF BOND.
(f) The City shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's reasonable and customary fees and charges
for making transfers of Obligations, but the registered owner of any Obligation requesting such transfer
shall pay any taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto. The
registered owner of any Obligation requesting any exchange shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's
reasonable and standard or customary fees and charges for exchanging any such Obligation or portion
thereof, together with any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto, all
as a condition precedent to the exercise of such privilege of exchange, except, however, that in the case
of the exchange of an assigned and transferred Obligation or Obligations or any portion or portions
thereof in any integral multiple of $5,000, and in the case of the exchange of the unredeemed portion
-10-
of an Obligation which has been redeemed in part prior to maturity, as provided in this Ordinance,
such fees and charges of the Paying Agent/Registrar will be paid by the City. In addition, the City
hereby covenants with the registered owners of the Obligations that it will pay (i) the reasonable and
standard or customary fees and charges of the Paying Agent/Registrar for its services with respect to
the payment of the principal of and interest on the Obligations, when due, and (ii) the fees and charges
of the Paying Agent/Registrar for services with respect to the transfer or registration of Obligations
solely to the extent above provided, and with respect to the exchange of Obligations solely to the
extent above provided.
(g) The City covenants with the registered owners of the Obligations that at all times while the
Obligations are outstanding the City will provide a competent and legally qualified bank or trust
company to act as and perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Obligations under this
Ordinance, and that the Paying Agent/Registrar will be one entity. The City reserves the right to, and
may, at its option, change the Paying Agent/Registrar upon not less than 60 days written notice to the
Paying Agent/Registrar. In the event that the entity at any time acting as Paying Agent/Registrar (or
its successor by merger, acquisition, or other method) should resign or otherwise cease to act as such,
the City covenants that promptly it will appoint to act as Paying Agent/Registrar under this Ordinance
a competent and legally qualified national or state banking institution which shall be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized
under such laws to exercise trust powers, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority, and whose qualifications are substantially similar to the previous Paying Agent/Registrar.
Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the previous Paying Agent/Registrar promptly shall
transfer and deliver the Registration Books (or a copy thereof), along with all other pertinent books
and records relating to the Obligations, to the new Paying Agent/Registrar designated and appointed
-11-
by the City. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the City promptly will cause a written
notice thereof to be sent by the new Paying Agent/Registrar to each registered owner of the
Obligations, by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, which notice also shall give the address
of the new Paying Agent/Registrar. By accepting the position and performing as such, each Paying
Agent/Registrar shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this Ordinance, and a certified
copy of this Ordinance shall be delivered to each Paying Agent/Registrar.
(h) The Obligations issued in exchange for the Obligations initially issued to the purchaser
specified herein shall be initially issued in the form of a separate single fully registered Obligation for
each of the maturities thereof. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Obligation shall be
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company of New York
("DTC"), and except as provided in subsection (i) hereof, all of the outstanding Obligations shall be
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
With respect to Obligations registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the
Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any securities
brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations on
whose behalf DTC was created ("DTC Participant") to hold securities to facilitate the clearance and
settlement of securities transactions among DTC Participants or to any person on behalf ofwhom such
a DTC Participant holds an interest in the Obligations. Without limiting the immediately preceding
sentence, the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with
respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC Participant with respect to
any ownership interest in the Obligations, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person,
other than a registered owner of Obligations, as shown on the Registration Books, of any notice with
respect to the Obligations, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than
-12-
a registered owner of Obligations, as shown in the Registration Books of any amount with respect to
principal of or interest on the Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to
the contrary, the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be entitled to treat and consider the
person in whose name each Obligation is registered in the Registration Books as the absolute owner
of such Obligation for the purpose of payment of principal and interest with respect to such
Obligation, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Obligation, and for all other
purposes whatsoever. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on the
Obligations only to or upon the order of the registered owners, as shown in the Registration Books
as provided in this Ordinance, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such
payments sha11 be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect
to payment of principal of and interest on the Obligations to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
No person other than a registered owner, as shown in the Registration Books, shall receive a Obligation
evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal and interest pursuant to this
Ordinance. Upon delivery by DTC to the Paying Agent/Registrar of written notice to the effect that
DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions
in this Ordinance with respect to interest checks being mailed to the registered owner at the close of
business on the record date, the words "Cede & Co." in this Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee
of DTC. In connection with the initial establishment of the foregoing book-entry system with DTC,
the Issuer heretofore has executed a "Blanket Letter of Representations" prepared by DTC in order
to implement the book-entry system described above.
(i) In the event that the Issuer determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its
responsibilities described herein and in the representation letter of the Issuer to DTC or that it is in
the best interest of the beneficial owners of the Obligations that they be able to obtain certificated
-13-
Obligations, the Issuer shall (i) appoint a successor securities depository, qualified to act as such under
Section 17(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, notify DTC and DTC
Participants of the appointment of such successor securities depository and transfer one or more
separate Obligations to such successor securities depository or (ii) notify DTC and DTC Participants
of the availability through DTC of Obligations and transfer one or more separate Obligations to DTC
Participants having Obligations credited to theix DTC accounts. In such event, the Obligations shall
no longer be restricted to being registered in the Registration Books in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, but may be registered in the name of the successor securities depository, or its
nominee, or in whatever name or names registered owners transferring or exchanging Obligations shall
designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance. The foregoing notwithstanding, for
so long as TWDB is an owner of any outstanding Obligation, the City will not discontinue the DTC
book-entry system without the consent of TWDB.
(j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any
Obligation is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to
principal of and interest on such Obligation and all notices with respect to such Obligation shall be
made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the representation letter of the Issuer to DTC.
(k) The Paying Agent/Registrar shall complete the "Date of Delivery" on each installment of
Obligations initially delivered to the TWDB, upon the satisfaction of the conditions described in
Section 27 of this Ordinance.

Pledged Revenues shall be junior and subordinate to the lien on and pledge of the Pledged Revenues
to the Prior Lien Obligations. In addition, the Pledged Revenues are further pledged to the establish-
mentand maintenance of the Debt Service Fund and the Subordinate Lien Reserve Fund as hereinafter
provided. The Obligations are and will be secured by and payable only from the Pledged Revenues in
-17-
the manner described above, and are not secured by or payable from a mortgage or deed of trust on
any properties, whether real, personal, or mixed, constituting the System.
(b) Chapter 1208, Texas Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Obligations and the
pledge of the Pledged Revenues granted by the City under subsection (a) of this Section, and such
pledge is therefore valid, effective, and perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the
Obligations are outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge of the Pledged Revenues granted by the
City is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code, then
in order to preserve to the registered owners of the Obligations the perfection of the security interest
in said pledge, the City agrees to take such measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under
Texas law to comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code
and enable a filing to perfect the security interest in said pledge to occur.

accounting as described in Section 22(c) hereof, shall be transferred to the Debt Service Fund to
redeem, in inverse order of maturity, the Obligations owned by TWDB. The foregoing notwithstand-
ing, it is further provided, however, that any interest earnings on monies on deposit in the Project Fund
which are required to be rebated to the United States of .America pursuant to Section 25 hereof in
order to prevent the Obligations from being arbitrage bonds shall be transferred to the "Rebate Fund"
hereinafter established and shall not be considered as interest earnings for purposes of this subsection.

Manager or the designee thereof may approve, execute and deliver an appropriate escrow agreement
or establish an appropriate trust and agency fund on the books of the City. In either case, proceeds

from the next available Pledged Revenues, or from any other sources available for such purpose. The
City may, at its option, withdraw and use for any lawful purpose, all surplus in the Subordinate Lien
Reserve Fund over the Required Reserve Amount. The City hereby covenants that from available

THE PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON this Bond are payable in lawful money of the

registered owner of 100% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, payment of

funds, of all principal of and interest on the Bonds, when due.
IF THE DATE for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond shall be a Saturday,
Sunday, a legal holiday, or a day on which banking institutions in the city where the Designated Trust
Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized by law or executive order to close, then
the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not such a Saturday, Sunday, legal
holiday, or day on which banking institutions are authorized to close; and payment on such date shall
have the same force and effect as if made on the original date payment was due.
THIS BOND is one of a series of bonds, dated , 2007, of like tenor and effect
except as to number, principal amount, interest rate, maturity and right of prior redemption,
aggregating $ (herein sometimes called the "Bonds"),issued for the purpose of extending
and improving the Issuer's combined water and sewer system, to-wit: extending and improving the
Issuer's water system.
THE OUTSTANDING BONDS of this Series maturing on and after March 1, 2018 maybe
redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, at the option of the Issuer, in whole, or in part, and if in
part, in inverse order of maturity, on March 1, 2017, or on any date thereafter, for the principal amount
thereof and accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, and without premium. The
foregoing notwithstanding, during any period in which ownership of the Bonds is determined only by
a book entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, if fewer than all of the Bonds of the same
maturity and bearing the same interest rate are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds of such maturity
and bearing such interest rate shall be selected in accordance with the arrangements between the Issuer
and the securities depository.
AT LEAST 30 days prior to the date fixed for any such redemption, a written notice of such
redemption shall be given to the registered owner of each Bond or a portion thereof being called for
redemption by depositing such notice in the United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, addressed
to each such registered owner at his address shown on the Registration Books of the Paying
Agent/Registrar. By the date fixed for any such redemption due provision shall be made by the Issuer
with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the required redemption price for this Bond or
the portion hereof which is to be so redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for
redemption. If such written notice of redemption is given, and if due provision for such payment is
made, all as provided above, this Bond, or the portion hereof which is to be so redeemed, thereby auto-
matically shall be redeemed prior to its scheduled maturity, and shall not bear interest after the date
fixed for its redemption, and shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the
registered owner to receive the redemption price plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption
from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall record in the Registration Books all such redemptions of principal of this Bond
or any portion hereof. If a portion of any Bond shall be redeemed a substitute Bond or Bonds having
the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate, in any denomination or denominations in any
integral multiple of $5,000, at the written request of the registered owner, and in aggregate principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof, will be issued to the registered owner upon the
surrender thereof for cancellation, at the expense of the Issuer, all as provided in the ordinance
authorizing the Bonds (the "Ordinance").
ALL BONDS OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully registered bonds, without interest
coupons, in the denomination of any integral multiple of $5,000. As provided in the Ordinance, this
Bond, or any unredeemed portion hereof, may, at the request of the registered owner or the assignee
or assignees hereof, be assigned, transferred, and exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of
fully registered bonds, without interest coupons, payable to the appropriate registered owner, assignee,
or assignees, as the case maybe, having the same maturity date, and bearing interest at the same rate,
in any denomination or denominations in any integral multiple of $5,000 as requested in writing by the
appropriate registered owner, assignee, or assignees, as the case maybe, upon surrender of this Bond
to the PayingAgent/Registrar at its Designated Trust Office for cancellation, all in accordance with the
form and procedures set forth in the Ordinance. Among other requirements for such assigrunent and
transfer, this Bond must be presented and surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar, together with
proper instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, evidencing assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof in any integral
multiple of $5,000 to the assignee or assignees in whose name or names this Bond or any such portion
or portions hereof is or are to be transferred and registered. The form of Assignment printed or
endorsed on this Bond maybe executed by the registered owner to evidence the assignment hereof,
but such method is not exclusive, and other instruments of assignment satisfactory to the Paying
Agent/Registrar may be used to evidence the assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions
hereof from time to time by the registered owner. The one requesting such exchange shall pay the
Paying Agent/Registrar's reasonable standard or customary fees and charges for exchanging any Bond
or portion thereof. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the case of the exchange of a portion of a Bond
which has been redeemed prior to maturity, as provided herein, and in the case of the exchange of an
assigned and transferred Bond or Bonds or any portion or portions thereof, such fees and charges of
the Paying Agent/Registrar will be paid by the Issuer. In any circumstance, any taxes or governmental
charges required to be paid with respect thereto shall be paid by the one requesting such assignment,
transfer, or exchange as a condition precedent to the exercise of such privilege. In any circumstance,
neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required (1) to make any transfer or
exchange during a period beginning at the opening of business 30 days before the day of the first
mailing of a notice of redemption of bonds and ending at the close of business on the day of such
mailing, or (2) to transfer or exchange any Bonds so selected for redemption in whole when such
redemption is scheduled to occur within 30 calendar days.
IN THE EVENT any Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds is changed by the Issuer, resigns,
or otherwise ceases to act as such, the Issuer has covenanted in the Ordinance that it promptly will
appoint a competent and legally qualified substitute therefor, whose qualifications substantially are
similar to the previous Paying Agent/Registrar it is replacing, and promptly will cause written notice
thereof to be mailed to the registered owners of the Bonds.
WHENEVER the beneficial ownership of this Bond is determined by a book entry at a
securities depository for the Bonds, the foregoing requirements of holding, delivering or transferring
this Bond shall be modified to require the appropriate person or entity to meet the requirements of the
securities depository as to registering or transferring the book entry to produce the same effect.
BY BECOMING the registered owner of this Bond, the registered owner thereby
acknowledges all of the terms and provisions of the Ordinance, agrees to be bound by such terms and
provisions, acknowledges that the Ordinance is duly recorded and available for inspection in the o fficial
minutes and records of the Issuer, and agrees that the terms and provisions of this Bond and the
Ordinance constitute a contract between each registered owner hereof and the Issuer.
THE ISSUER has reserved the right, subject to the restrictions stated, and adopted by
reference, in the Ordinance, to issue (1) Prior Lien Obligations (as defined in the Ordinance) secured
by a lien on and pledge of the Pledged Revenues (as defined in the Ordinance) superior to such lien
and pledge securing the Bonds, and (2) additional parity revenue bonds which also may be made
payable from, and secured by a lien on and pledge of, the Pledged Revenues securing the Bonds.
THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF shall never have the right to demand payment of
this obligation out of any funds raised or to be raised by taxation, or from any source whatsoever other
than the aforesaid Pledged Revenues.
IT IS HEREBY certified and covenanted that this Bond has been duly and validly authorized,
issued and delivered; that all acts, conditions and things required or proper to be performed, exist and
be done precedent to or in the authorization, issuance and delivery of this Bond have been performed,
existed and been done in accordance with law; that this Bond is a special obligation; and that the prin-
cipal of and interest on this Bond, together with other bonds of the Issuer now or hereafter
outstanding on a parity therewith, are payable from, and secured by a lien on and pledge of, the Pledged
Revenues (as defined in the Ordinance), and which include the Net Revenues of the Issuer's combined
Water and Sewer System; however, the lien on and pledge of the Pledged Revenues shall be junior and
subordinate to the Prior Lien Obligations (as defined in the Ordinance), which consist of the Prior Lien
