Other terms of the Bonds and various covenants of the District contained in the Bond Order are described in the Preliminary Official Statement, to which reference is made for all purposes. CONDITIONS OF SALE Types of Bids and Interest Rates... The Bonds will be sold in one block, all or none, and no bid of less than 97% of par value plus accrued interest to the date of delivery will be considered. Bidders must specify the rate or rates of interest the Bonds will bear, but no bid which results in a net effective interest rate, as calculated pursuant to Chapter 1204, Texas Government Code, as amended (the IBA method), of more than % will be considered. The difference between the highest interest rate bid and the lowest interest rate bid shall not exceed 2%. Interest rates must be in multiples of 1/8 or 1/20 of 1%. Any number of interest rates and rate changes may be named, but graduating or declining interest rates within a maturity, split interest rates within a maturity, or supplemental or zero interest rates will not be acceptable. Serial Bonds and/or Term Bonds...Bidders have the option of specifying that the principal amount of the Bonds payable in any two or more consecutive years may, in lieu of maturing in each of such years, be combined into one or more term bonds. Term bonds may be used for any of the maturities in the years 2014 through 2022, both inclusive. In the event that bidders choose to specify one or more term bonds, such term bonds will be subject to mandatory redemption by the District prior to their scheduled maturities on September 1 in the years and in the amounts set forth in the maturity schedule of the serial bonds. The term bonds, along with the serial bonds maturing on and after September 1, 2014, will be subject to optional redemption on September 1, 2013, or any date thereafter, in whole or from time to time in part, at a price of par plus accrued interest from the most recent interest payment date to the date fixed for redemption. Basis of Award . . . For the purpose of awarding sale of the Bonds, the total interest cost of each bid will be computed by determining, at the interest rate or rates specified, the total dollar value of all interest on the Bonds from the date thereof to their respective maturities and adding thereto the dollar amount of the discount bid, if any, or deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any. The District reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any and all irregularities, except time of filing. Subject to such rights, the Bonds will be axvarded to the bidder whose bid, based on the above computation, produces the lowest net interest cost to the District. In the event of mathematical discrepancies between the interest rate or rates and the interest rate cost determined therefrom, as both appear on the Official Bid Form, the bid will be solely governed by the interest rates shown on the Official Bid Form. Good Faith Deposit... Each bid must be accompanied by a bank cashier's check payable to the order of"Brazoria County Municipal Utility District No. 6" in the amount of $170,000 which is 2% of the par value of the Bonds. The check will be considered as a Good Faith Deposit, and the check of the successful bidder (the "Initial Purchaser") will be retained uncashed by the District until the Bonds are delivered. No interest will be paid on the Good Faith Deposit. Upon payment for and delivery of the Bonds in immediately available funds, the Good Faith Deposit will be returned uncashed to the Initial Purchaser. If the Initial Purchaser should fail or refuse to make payment for or accept delivery of the Bonds in accordance with its bid, then the check will be cashed and accepted by the District as full and complete liquidated damages. Such check may accompany the Official Bid Form or it may be submitted separately. If submitted separately, it shall be made available to the District prior to the opening of the bids and shall be accompanied by instructions from the bank on which it is drawn which authorize its use as a Good Faith Deposit. The checks of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned immediately after bids are opened .and sale of the Bonds has been awarded. Financial Advisor's Reservation of Rights...

CUSIP Numbers... It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such number on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the Initial Purchaser to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of this OFFICIAL NOTICE OF SALE. CUSIP identification numbers will be made available to the Initial Purchaser at the time the Bonds are awarded or as soon thereafter as practicable. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of the numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid by the Initial Purchaser. Conditions to Delivery...

("Bond Counsel"), the No-Litigation Certificate, and the non- occurrence of the events indicated under "No Material Adverse Change" all as described below. iv Legal Opinions... The District will furnish to the Initial Purchaser a transcript of certain certified proceedings incident to the issuance and authorization of the Bonds, including a certified copy of the approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas, as recorded in the Bond Register of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, to the effect that the Attorney General has examined a transcript of proceedings authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, and that based upon such examination, the Bonds are valid and binding obligations of the District payable from the proceeds of an annual ad valorem tax, levied without legal limitation as to rate or amount upon all taxable property in the District. The District will also furnish the approving legal opinion of Schwartz, Page & Harding, L.L.P., Bond Counsel, Houston, Texas, to the effect that, based upon an examination of such transcript, the Bonds are valid and binding obligations of the District under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, except to the extent that enforcement of the rights and remedies of the Registered Owners of the Bonds may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions such as the District. The legal opinion of Bond Counsel will further state that the Bonds are payable, both as to principal and interest, from the levy of ad valorem taxes without legal limitation as to rate or amount, against taxable property within the District, and that the interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions existing on the date of such opinion assuming compliance by the District with certain covenants relating to the use and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds. See "LEGAL MATTERS" in the Preliminary Official Statement. Such opinions express no opinion with respect to the sufficiency of the security for or marketability of the Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel is expected to be reproduced on the initial Bonds over a certification of the Secretary of the Board of Directors attesting that such opinion was dated as of the date of delivery of and payment for the Bonds and that such reproduction is a tree and correct copy of the original opinion. Errors or omissions in the reproduction of such legal opinion on any Bond shall not affect the validity of the Bonds or constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the Initial Purchaser to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds. Certification Regarding Offering Price of Bonds... In order to provide the District with information to enable it to comply with certain conditions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code") relating to the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, the Initial Purchaser will be required to complete, execute and deliver to the District (on or before the date of delivery of the Bonds) a certification regarding "issue price" substantially in the form accompanying this Official Notice of Sale. If the Initial Purchaser will not reoffer the Bonds for sale or has not sold a substantial amount of the Bonds of any maturity by the date of delivery, such certificate may be modified in a manner approved by the District. In no event will the District fail to deliver the Bonds as a result of the Initial Purchaser's inability to certify actual sales of Bonds at a particular price prior to delivery. Each bidder, by submitting its bid, agrees to complete, execute and deliver such a certificate by the date of delivery of the Bonds if its bid is accepted by the District. It will be the responsibility of the Initial Purchaser to institute such syndicate reporting requirements, to make such investigation, or otherwise to ascertain the facts necessary to enable it to make such certification with reasonable certainty. Any question concerning such certification should be directed to Bond Counsel. No-Litigation Certificate... The District will furnish the Initial Purchaser a certificate executed by both the President or Vice President and Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Board, dated as of the date of delivery of the Bonds, to the effect that there is not pending, and, to their knowledge, there is not threatened, any litigation affecting the validity of the Bonds, or the levy and/or collection of taxes for the payment thereof, or the organization or boundaries of the District or the title of the officers thereof to their respective offices. No Material Adverse Change... The obligation of the District to deliver the Bonds and of the Initial Purchaser to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds are subject to the condition that to the time of delivery of and receipt of payment for the Bonds, there shall have been no material adverse change in the conditions of the District (financial or otherwise) from those set forth in or contemplated by the PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT, as it may have been supplemented or amended through the date of delivery.
