8
4148-0675-1263,2
policy. Upon request of the Authority therefore, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall furnish the
Authority with appropriate certificates of cancellation of such Series 2019 Bonds.
Section 4.2: Mutilated, Lost, or Stolen Series 2019 Bonds. Upon the presentation and
surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar of a mutilated Series 2019 Bond, the Paying Agent/
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a replacement Series 2019 Bond of
like maturity, Dated Date, interest rate and principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously Outstanding. The Authority or the Paying Agent/Registrar may require the
Owner of such Series 2019 Bond to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection therewith and any other expenses connected therewith,
including the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent/Registrar.
If any Series 2019 Bond is lost, apparently destroyed, or wrongfully taken, the Authority,
pursuant to the applicable laws of the State of Texas and in the absence of notice or knowledge
that such Series 2019 Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall execute and the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver a replacement Series 2019 Bond of like
maturity, Dated Date, interest rate and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously
Outstanding, provided that the Owner thereof shall have:
(1) furnished to the Authority and the Paying Agent/Registrar satisfactory evidence of
the ownership of and the circumstances of the loss, destruction or theft of such
Series 2019 Bond;
(2) furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by the Paying
Agent/Registrar and the Authority to save them harmless;
(3) paid all expenses and charges in connection therewith, including, but not limited
to, printing costs, legal fees, fees of the Paying Agent/Registrar and any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed; and

Agent/Registrar.
If after the delivery of such replacement Series 2019 Bond, a bona fide purchaser of the original
Series 2019 Bond in lieu of which such replacement Series 2019 Bond was issued presents for
payment such original Series 2019 Bond, the Authority and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be
entitled to recover such replacement Series 2019 Bond from the person to whom it was delivered
or any person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon
the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense
incurred by the Authority or the Paying Agent/Registrar in connection therewith.
If any such mutilated, lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken Series 2019 Bond has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Authority in its discretion may, instead of
9
4148-06/5-1263 2
issuing a replacement Series 2019 Bond, authorize the Paying Agent/Registrar to pay such Series
2019 Bond.
Each replacement Series 2019 Bond delivered in accordance with this Section 4.2 shall be
entitled to the benefits and security of this Resolution to the same extent as the Series 2019 Bond
or Series 2019 Bonds in lieu of which such replacement Series 2019 Bond is delivered.
Section 4.3: Redemption. The Series 2019 Bonds are subject to optional and mandatory
sinking fund redemption on the dates and for the redemption prices set forth in the form of the
Series 2019 Bond in this Resolution.
Principal amounts may be redeemed only in integrals of $100,000. If a Series 2019 Bond
subject to redemption is in a denomination larger than $100,000, a portion of such Series 2019
Bond may be redeemed, but only in integral multiples of $5,000. In selecting portions of Series
2019 Bonds for redemption, the Paying Agent/ Registrar shall treat each Series 2019 Bond as
representing that number of Series 2019 Bonds of $100,000 denomination or any integral multiple
of $5,000 in excess thereof. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall select the particular Series 2019
Bonds to be redeemed within any given maturity by lot or other random selection method. Upon
surrender of any Series 2019 Bond for redemption in part, the Paying Agent/Registrar, in
accordance with this Resolution, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a Series 2019
Bond or Series 2019 Bonds of like maturity and interest rate in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion of the Series 2019 Bond so surrendered; provided any partial
redemption shall be applied in inverse order of the principal installment due dates.
Unless waived by the Owner, notice of any redemption identifying the Series 2019 Bonds
to be redeemed shall be given as provided in the form of Series 2019 Bond in this Resolution. Any
notice given as provided in this Section 4.3 shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the Owner receives such notice. By the date fixed for redemption, due
provision shall be made with the Paying Agent/Registrar for payment of the redemption price of
the Series 2019 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date fixed
for redemption. When Series 2019 Bonds have been called for redemption in whole or in part and
due provision has been made to redeem the same as herein provided, the Series 2019 Bonds or
portions thereof so redeemed shall no longer be regarded as Outstanding except for the purpose of
receiving payment solely from the funds so provided for redemption, and the rights of the Owners
to collect interest which would otherwise accrue after the redemption date on any Series 2019
Bond or portion thereof called for redemption shall terminate on the date fixed for redemption.
The Authority reserves the right to give notice of its election or direction to optionally
redeem Bonds conditioned upon the occurrence of subsequent events. Such notice may state (1)
that the redemption is conditioned upon the deposit of moneys and/or authorized securities, in an
10
4148-0675-12632
amount equal to the amount necessary to effect the redemption, with the Paying Agent/Registrar,
or such other entity as may be authorized by law, no later than the redemption date or (ii) that the
Authority retains the right to rescind such notice at any time prior to the scheduled redemption
date if the Authority delivers a certificate of the Authority to the Paying Agent/ Registrar
instructing the Paying Agent/Registrar to rescind the redemption notice, and such notice of
redemption shall be of no effect if such moneys and/or authorized securities are no so deposited or
if the notice is rescinded. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall give prompt notice of any such
rescission of a conditional notice of redemption to the affected owners. Any Bonds subject to
conditional redemption where redemption has been rescinded shall remain outstanding.
Section 4.4: Limited Obligations. THE SERIES 2019 BONDS AND ALL PARITY
BONDS ARE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY, PAYABLE SOLELY OUT
OF THE PLEDGED REVENUES, WHICH IS THE SOLE ASSET OF THE AUTHORITY
PLEDGED THEREFOR. THE SERIES 2019 BONDS ARE OBLIGATIONS SOLELY OF THE

THE SERIES 2019 BONDS AND ALL PARITY BONDS ARE LIMITED
OBLIGATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY, PAYABLE SOLELY OUT OF THE PLEDGED
REVENUES, WHICH IS THE SOLE ASSET OF THE AUTHORITY PLEDGED THEREFOR.
THE SERIES 2019 BONDS ARE OBLIGATIONS SOLELY OF THE AUTHORITY AND DO
NOT CONSTITUTE, WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY STATUTORY OR
CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, AN INDEBTEDNESS, AN OBLIGATION OR A LOAN OF
CREDIT OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND, THE STATE OF TEXAS, ALVIN INDEPENDENT
SCHOOL DISTRICT, BRAZORIA COUNTY, FORT BEND COUNTY, OR ANY OTHER
MUNICIPALITY, COUNTY, OR OTHER MUNICIPAL OR POLITICAL CORPORATION OR
SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. NEITHER THE CITY OF PEARLAND, ALVIN
INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, BRAZORIA COUNTY, NOR FORT BEND COUNTY
IS OBLIGATED TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON THE SERIES 2019 BONDS.
THIS SERIES 2019 BOND IS ONE OF A DULY AUTHORIZED SERIES OF SERIES
2019 BONDS aggregating $4,255,000 issued for the purpose of (1) paying Project Costs and (2)
paying costs of issuance, all under and pursuant to the authority of the Act and all other applicable
laws, and a resolution adopted by the Authority on October 14, 2019 (the "Resolution"). None of
the proceeds of the Series 2019 Bonds shall be used for the purpose of paying or otherwise
providing for educational facilities. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning
ascribed thereto in the Resolution.
THIS BOND shall accrue interest from the date of delivery at a rate of 3.410% until the
date of final maturity or prepayment prior to maturity. THIS SERIES 2019 BOND AND THE
SERIES OF WHICH IT IS A PART are limited obligations of the Authority that are together with
all other Parity Bonds heretofore or hereafter issued under the Indenture described below, payable
from, and are equally and ratably secured by a lien on the Pledged Revenues, which include the
Contract Tax Increments, moneys on deposit in the Pledged Revenue Fund, the Debt Service Fund,
and interest earned on moneys deposited therein, as defined and more fully provided in the
Indenture of Trust dated as of May 1, 2012, between the Authority and Regions Bank, as Trustee
(the "Indenture"). This Series 2019 Bond and the series of which it is a part and all other Parity
Bonds, together with the interest thereon, are payable solely from such Pledged Revenues.
THE BONDS are not subject to optional redemption prior to maturity.
UNLESS WAIVED BY THE OWNER, NOTICE OF ANY REDEMPTION shall be given
at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption by first class mail, addressed to the
Registered Owners of each Series 2019 Bond to be redeemed in whole or in part at the address
shown on the books of registration kept by the Paying Agent/Registrar. Such notices shall state the
redemption date, the redemption price, the place at which Series 2019 Bonds are to be surrendered
for payment and, if less than all Series 2019 Bonds Outstanding of a particular maturity are to be
13
4148-0675-12632
redeemed, the numbers of the Series 2019 Bonds or portions thereof of such maturity to be
redeemed. Any partial redemption shall be applied in inverse order of the principal installment due
dates. When Series 2019 Bonds or portions thereof have been called for redemption, and due
provision has been made to redeem the same, the principal amounts so redeemed shall be payable
solely from the funds provided for redemption, and interest which would otherwise accrue on the
amounts called for redemption shall terminate on the date fixed for redcmption.
THIS SERIES 2019 BOND IS TRANSFERABLE only upon presentation and surrender
at the designated office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied
by an assignment duly executed by the Registered Owner or his authorized representative, subject
to the terms and conditions of the Resolution.
THIS SERIES 2019 BOND IS EXCHANGEABLE at the designated office of the Paying
Agent/Registrar for Series 2019 Bonds in the principal amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple
thereof, subject to the terms and conditions of the Resolution.
NEITHER THE AUTHORITY NOR THE PAYING AGENT/ REGISTRAR shall be
required to transfer or exchange any Series 2019 Bond during the period beginning on the fifteenth
calendar day of the month next preceding any interest payment date and ending on such interest
payment date or to transfer any Series 2019 Bond called for redemption during the 30 day period
prior to the redemption date.
THIS SERIES 2019 BOND shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled
to any benefit under the Resolution unless this Series 2019 Bond is either (i) registered by the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas by registration certificate attached or affixed
hereto or (ii) authenticated by the Paying Agent/Registrar by due execution of the authentication

THE AUTHORITY HAS RESERVED THE RIGHT to issue Additional Parity Bonds,
subject to the restrictions contained in the Resolution and the Indenture, which may be equally and
ratably payable from, and secured by a lien on and pledge of, the Pledged Revenues in the same
manner and to the same extent as the Parity Bonds and this Series 2019 Bond and the series of
which it is a part.
IT IS HEREBY DECLARED AND REPRESENTED that this Series 2019 Bond has been

ARTICLE IX
TAX EXEMPTION
Section 9.1: Federal Income Tax Exclusion. (a) General. The Authority intends that the
interest on the Series 2019 Bonds shall be excludable from gross income for federal income tax
purposes pursuant to sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the `Code), and the applicable Income Tax Regulations (the "Regulations"). The
Authority covenants and agrees not to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action within
its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on the Series 2019 Bonds
to be includable in gross income, as defined in section 61 of the Code, for federal income tax
purposes. In particular, the Authority covenants and agrees to comply with each requirement of
this Section 9.1; provided, however, that the Authority shall not be required to comply with any
particular requirement of this Section 9.1 if the Authority has received an opinion of nationally
recognized bond counsel ("Counsel's Opinion") that such noncompliance will not adversely affect
the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Series 2019
Bonds or if the Authority has received a Counsel's Opinion to the effect that compliance with
some other requirement set forth in this Section 9.1 will satisfy the applicable requirements of the
Code and the Regulations, in which case compliance with such other requirement specified in such
Counsel's Opinion shall constitute compliance with the corresponding requirement specified in
this Section 9.1.
(b) No Private Use or Payment and No Private Loan Financing. The Authority shall
certify, through an authorized officer, employee or agent that based upon all facts and estimates
known or reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the Series 2019 Bonds are delivered,
that proceeds of the Series 2019 Bonds will not be used, in a manner that would cause the Series
2019 Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the
Regulations promulgated thereunder. Moreover, the Authority covenants and agrees that it will
make such use of the proceeds of the Series 2019 Bonds including interest or other investment
income derived from Bond proceeds, regulate the use of property financed, directly or indirectly,
with such proceeds, and take such other and further action as may be required so that the Series
2019 Bonds will not be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code
and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(c) No Federal Guarantee. The Authority covenants and agrees that it has not and will
not take any action, and has not knowingly omitted and will not knowingly omit to take any action
within its control, that, if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the Series 2019 Bonds to be
federally guaranteed within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code and the applicable
Regulations thereunder, except as permitted by section 149(b)(3) of the Code and such
Regulations.
19
4148-0675-1263.2
(d) No Hedge Bonds. The Authority covenants and agrees that it has not and will not
take any action, and has not knowingly omitted and will not knowingly omit to take any action,
within its control, that, if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the Series 2019 Bonds to be
hedge bonds within the meaning of section 149(g) of the Code and the applicable Regulations
thereunder.
(e) No Arbitrage. The Authority shall certify, through an authorized officer, employee
or agent that based upon all facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence
on the date the Series 2019 Bonds are delivered, the Authority will reasonably expect that the
proceeds of the Series 2019 Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Series 2019
Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of section 148(a) of the Code and the applicable
Regulations promulgated thereunder. Moreover, the Authority covenants and agrees that it will
make such use of the proceeds of the Series 2019 Bonds including interest or other investment
income derived from Bond proceeds, regulate investments of proceeds of the Series 2019 Bonds,
and take such other and further action as may be required so that the Series 2019 Bonds will not
be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of section 148(a) of the Code and the applicable
Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(0 Arbitrage Rebate. If the Authority does not qualify for an exception to the
requirements of Section 148(0 of the Code relating to the required rebate to the United States, the
Authority will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that certain amounts eamed
by the Authority on the investment of the "gross proceeds" of the Series 2019 Bonds (within the
meaning of section 148(0(6)(B) of the Code), be rebated to the federal government. Specifically,
the Authority will (i) maintain records regarding the investment of the gross proceeds of the Series
2019 Bonds as may be required to calculate the amount earned on the investment of the gross
proceeds of the Series 2019 Bonds separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds and
accounts of the Authority allocable to other bond issues of the Authority or moneys which do not
represent gross proceeds of any bonds of the Authority, (ii) calculate at such times as are required
by applicable Regulations, the amount earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the
Series 2019 Bonds which is required to be rebated to the federal government, and (iii) pay, not less
often than every fifth anniversary date of the delivery of the Series 2019 Bonds or on such other
dates as may be permitted under applicable Regulations, all amounts required to be rebated to the
federal government. Further, the Authority will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable
to the federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the
federal government by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds
of the Series 2019 Bonds that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the
federal government because such arrangement results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would
have resulted if the arrangement had been at arm's length and had the yield on the issue not been
relevant to either party.
20
4148-0675-12632
(g) Information Reporting. The Authority covenants and agrees to file or cause to be
filed with the Secretary of the Treasury, not later than the 15th day of the second calendar month
after the close of the calendar quarter in which the Series 2019 Bonds are issued, an information
statement concerning the Series 2019 Bonds, all under and in accordance with section 149(e) of
the Code and the applicable Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(h) Continuing Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, the
Authority's obligations under the covenants and provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the
defeasance and discharge of the Series 2019 Bonds.
Section 9.2: Continuing Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Resolution, the Authority's representations and obligations under the covenants and provisions of
this Article VIII shall survive the defeasance and discharge of the Series 2019 Bonds for as long
as such matters are relevant to the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the
owners for federal income tax purposes.
Section 9.3: Qualified Tax -Exempt Obligations. The Series 2019 Bonds are NOT
Qualified Tax -Exempt Obligations for financial institutions.
