shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the
relevant Record Date solely by virtue of having been such

Persons in whose names such Bonds (or their respective
Predecessor Bonds) are registered at the close of business on
a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The
Issuer shall notify the Paying Agent in writing of the amount
of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Bond and the

by the Paying Agent of the notice of the proposed payment.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer of such
Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the

Persons in whose names the Bonds (or their respective
Predecessor Bonds) are registered on such Special Record Date.
All payments of interest on the Bonds shall be paid
by check or draft mailed, first-class postage prepaid, by the
Paying Agent to the Person entitled to such payment at the
address of such Person as it appears in the Bond Register or
by such other customary banking arrangements to which such
Person and the Paying Agent may agree.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section,
each Bond delivered under this Order upon transfer or in lieu
of or in exchange for any other Bond shall carry all the
rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which
were carried by such other Bond, and each such Bond shall bear
interest from such date, that neither gain nor loss in
interest shall result from such transfer, exchange, or
substitution.
SECTION 2.7: Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, and Stolen
Bonds. If (1) any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Paying
Agent, or the Issuer and the Paying Agent received evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft of any
Bond, and (2) there is delivered to the Issuer and the Paying
Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Issuer and the Paying Agent that such Bond has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute
and upon its request the Paying Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the same Stated
Maturity and of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or
stolen Bond has become or is about to become due and payable,
the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Bond instead of
issuing a new Bond.
A: \44\NEt4MONEY. BC2\BONDORD. 99 15
Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this
Section, the Issuer or the Paying Agent may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto
and any other expenses connected therewith.
Every new Bond issue pursuant to this Section in
lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost, or
stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Order equally
and ratably with all other Outstanding Bonds.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and
shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and
remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Bonds.
SECTION 2.8: Ownership~ Unclaimed Principal and
Interest. Subject to the further provisions of this Section,

whether or not such Bond is overdue, and neither the District
nor the Paying Agent shall be bound by any notice or knowledge
to the contrary. All payments made to the person deemed to be
the Owner of any Bond in accordance with this Section shall be
valid and effectual and shall discharge the liability of the
District and the Paying Agent upon such Bond to the extent of
the sums paid. Principal and interest deposited with the
PayingAgent and remaining unclaimed for three (3) years shall
be reported and disposed of in accordance with the provisions
of Title 6 of the Texas Property code, as amended, to the
extent that such provisions are applicable.

redemption, by registered mail, overnight delivery, or other
comparably secure means, not less than 30 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to each registered securities depository (and

failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall
affect the sufficiency of notice given to Bondholders as
hereinabove stated.
SECTION 3.5: Payment. Notice of redemption having
been given as aforesaid, the Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on
the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption
Price, and from and after such date (unless the District shall

to bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by
such Bond.
SECTION 3.6: Partial Redemption. Any Bond which
is tO be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the
office of the Paying Agent (if payment is to be made to other

Paying Agent duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing) and the District shall
execute and the Paying Agent shall register and deliver to the
Holder of such Bond, without service charge to the Holder, a
new Bond or Bonds of the same Stated Maturity and of any
authorized denomination or denominations as requested by such
Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange

surrendered.

purposes, (1) to pay interest on the Bonds as it becomes due,
(2) to provide a sinking fund for the payment of the principal
of the Bonds when due or the Redemption Price at any earlier
required Redemption Date, and (3) to pay the expenses of
assessing and collecting such tax. The Issuer shall timely
assess and diligently collect such tax and apply the
collections thereof solely as provided herein. Each order of
the Governing Body levying and establishing the rate of ad

of the Issuer payable in whole or in part from taxes, and (c)
the portion, if any, of such rate levied for operating and
maintenance purposes. All collections of ad valorem taxes,
including penalty and interest attributable thereto, shall be

levies in the tax year with respect to which such taxes are
owed. For so long as any Bond remains Outstanding, all

requirements on the Bonds, less allocable expenses of
assessing and collecting such taxes, shall be deposited not
less frequently than monthly to the Bond Fund.

tort, contract, or otherwise against the District,

A: \44\NE&iNONEY. BCZ\BONDORD. 99 3 7
SECTION 8.3: Audit Books and Inspections. The
Issuer shall keep accurate records and accounts and employ an
independent certified public accountant to audit and report on
its financial affairs at the close of each fiscal year. Such

A. Not to Cause Interest to Become Taxable. The
Issuer shall not use, permit the use of, or omit to use Gross
Proceeds or any other amounts (or any property acquired,
constructed, or improved with Gross Proceeds) in a manner
which, if made or omitted, respectively, would cause interest
on any Bond not to be excludable from the gross income, as
defined in Section 61 of the Code, of the owners thereof for
federal income tax purposes in accordance with Section 103 of
the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Issuer shall comply with each of the specific covenants in
this Section, unless and until the Issuer shall have received
a written opinion of counsel nationally recognized in the
field of municipal bond law to the effect that failure to
comply with such covenant either generally or to the extent or
in the instance stated therein will not adversely affect any
such excludability of interest, and thereafter such covenant
shall no longer be binding upon the Issuer either generally or
to such extent or in such instance, as applicable, anything in
any other Subsection of this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding.
B. No Private Use or Private Payments. The Issuer
shall either, (i) not use or permit the use of Gross Proceeds
(or any property acquired, constructed, or improved with Gross
Proceeds) in any trade or business carried on by any Person
(or in any activity of any Person other than a natural person)
other than a state or local government or (ii) not directly or
indirectly impose or accept any charge or other payment for
use of Gross Proceeds (or any property acquired, constructed,
or improved with Gross Proceeds) in any trade or business
carried on by any Person (or in any activity of any Person
other than a natural person) other than a state or local
government, in either case at all times prior to the last
A: \44\NEk/MONEY. BC2\BONDORD. 99 3 8
Maturity of Bonds, unless either (a) such use is merely as a
member (and is extended by the Issuer on the same terms as to
all other members) of the general public or (b) such charge or
payment consists of taxes of general application within the
Issuer or interest earned on Investments acquired with Gross
Proceeds pending application for their intended purposes. For
purposes of this Subsection B, property is considered to be
"used" by a Person if:
(1) it is sold or otherwise disposed of, or leased
to such Person;
(2) it is operated, managed, or otherwise
physically employed, utilized, or consumed by such
Person, excluding operation or management pursuant to an
agreement if (a) such agreement
(i) has a term (including renewal options)
which does not exceed five years,
(ii) may be cancelled by the Issuer at the
end of any three-year period, and
(iii) provides for compensation to such
Person that is reasonable in relation to the
services performed, is not based on a share of net
profits or net revenue, and, as to not less 50% of
such compensation annually, is based on a periodic
fixed fee,
(b) no member of the Governing Body, individually or
with other such members, owns a controlling interest in
such Person or is an employee or member of the governing
board of such Person, and (c) no employee of the Issuer
is a member of the governing board of such Person;
(3) capacity in or output or service from such
property is reserved or committed to such Person under a
take-or-pay, output, incentive payment, or similar
contract or arrangement;
(4) such property is used to provide service to (or
such service is committed to or reserved for) such Person
on a basis or terms which (except possibly for the amount
of use and any corresponding rate adjustment) are
different from the basis or terms on which such service
is provided (or committed or reserved) to members of the
public generally;
(5) such Person is a developer and a significant
amount of property acquired, constructed, or improved
with proceeds from the sale of the Bonds (or income from
A: \44\NEt.,'NONEY. BC2\BONDORD. 99 3 9
the investment thereof) serves only a limited area
substantially all of which is owned by such Person, or a
limited group of developers, unless such area is
developed and sold to (and occupied by) members of the
general public with reasonable speed; or
(6) substantial burdens and benefits of ownership
of such property are otherwise effectively transferred to
such Person.
C. No Private Loan. The Issuer shall not use
Gross Proceeds to make or finance loans to any Person other
than a state or local government, excluding loans consisting
of temporary investments of Gross Proceeds pending application
for their intended purposes. For purposes of this Subsection
C, Gross Proceeds are considered to be "loaned" to a Person if
(1) property acquired, constructed, or improved with Gross
Proceeds is sold or leased to such Person in a transaction
which creates a debt for federal income tax purposes, (2)
capacity in or service from such property is committed to such
Person under a take-or-pay,output, or similar contract or
arrangement, or (3) indirect benefits, or burdens and benefits
of ownership,of Gross Proceeds or such property are otherwise
transferred to such Person in a transaction which is the
economic equivalent of a loan.
D. Not to Invest at Higher Yield. The Issuer
shall not, at any time prior to the final Maturity of the
Bonds, directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds in any
Investment (or use Gross Proceeds to replace money so
invested), if as a result of such investment the Yield from
the Issue Date of all Investments acquired with Gross Proceeds
(or with money replaced thereby), whether then held or
previously disposed of, exceeds the Yield of the Bonds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the following
Investments shall be excluded from the limitation and
calculation described in this Subsection D:
(1) Investments acquired with proceeds from the
sale of Bonds or income from the investment thereof, to
the extent such Investments are held during the first
three years after the Issue Date and, in the case of
proceeds or income held for the account of the
Construction Funds, prior to the date on which the
project or projects for which the Bonds are being issued
have been completed, if earlier;
(2) Investments acquired with income from
investment of proceeds from the sale of the Bonds, to the
extent such Investments are held during the first year after
receipt of such income;
A: \44\N Et4MONEY. BC2 \BONDORD. 99 4 0
(3) Certain investments acquired with amounts held
for the credit of the Bond Fund to the extent such
investments are held for the durations specified in the
Code or current regulations; and
(4) Any other Investments to the extent the
aggregate cost thereof, adjusted upward by the amortized
portion (calculated on a straight-line basis) of any
discount at which such Investments were acquired, does
not exceed the lesser of $100,000 or 5% of the proceeds
from sale of the Bonds.
The Issuer shall pursue work on the project or projects for
which the Bonds are being issued with due diligence until
completion. The Issuer shall not (a) use any money to pay
principal of or interest on the Bonds, or pledge (or permit to
be pledged) or otherwise restrict any money, funds, or
Investments so as to give reasonable assurance of their
availability for such purpose, except in each case amounts
deposited to the Bond Fund, (b) apply any proceeds from the
sale of Bonds or income from the investment thereof, directly
or indirectly, to pay principal of or interest on any other
indebtedness of the Issuer,or any corporate or other
instrumentality of the Issuer or any such governmental entity,
or (c) at any time prior to the Maturity of the Bonds, invest
amounts held for the credit of the Bond Fund in any investment

Order (the "Project") on its books and records by allocating
proceeds to expenditures within 18 months of the later of the
date that (1) the expenditure is made, or (2) the Project is
completed. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Issuer shall
not expend sale proceeds or investment earnings thereon more
than 60 days after the earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary of
the delivery of the Bonds, or (2) the date the Bonds are
retired, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally-
recognized bond counsel that such expenditure will not
adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. For

to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for

SECTION ELEVEN
ADDITIONAL BOND8 AND REFUNDING BONDS
SECTION 11.1: Additional Bonds. The District
expressly reserves the right to issue, in one or more series,
the remaining authorized but unissued bonds as well as such
other bonds as may be authorized at subsequent elections.

Revenues to the same extent as pledged for and in all things
on a parity with the lien on the Bonds.

permitted by law to refund any bonds at or prior to their
respective dates of maturity or redemption.
SECTION TWELVE
DEFEASANCE
SECTION 12.1: Discharge of Obllgations. Any Bond
shall be deemed to be paid and shall no longer be considered
to be a Bond within the meaning of this Order when payment of
the principal of and interest on such Bond to the Stated
Maturity thereof or (if notice of redemption shall have been
duly given, irrevocably provided for, or waived as provided
herein) to the Redemption Date shall have been made or shall
have been provided for by deposit with the Paying Agent for
such payment (or with any other bank or trust company which
has agreed to hold the same for such purpose) (1) money
sufficient to make such payment, (2) Governmental Securities
certified by an independent public accounting firm of national
reputation to be of such maturities and interest payment dates
and to bear such interest as will, without further investment
or reinvestment or either the principal amount thereof or the
interest earnings therefrom, be sufficient to make such
payment, or (3) a combination of money and Governmental
Securities together so certified sufficient to make such
payment, provided that all the expenses pertaining to the
Bonds with respect to which such deposit is made shall have
been paid or the payment thereof provided for to the
satisfaction of the Paying Agent (and to such other bank or
trust company).
In the event such deposit is made with respect to
some but not all of the Bonds then Outstanding, the Issuer
shall designate the Stated Maturities of the Bonds with
respect to which such deposit is made. If such deposit shall
be sufficient to provide for the payment of the principal of
and interest on some but not all Outstanding Bonds of a
particular Stated maturity so designated, the Paying Agent
shall select the Outstanding Bonds of such Stated Maturity
with respect to which such deposit if made by such random
method as the District shall deem fair and appropriate and
which may provide for the selection of portions (equal to
A: \44\NEt, MONEY. BC2\BONDORD. 99 4 7
$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal
amount of Bonds of a denomination larger than $5,000.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
such deposit shall have the effect described in this Section
(a) if made during the existence of a default in the payment
of any Bond unless made with respect to all of the Bonds then
Outstanding or (b) unless accompanied by an opinion of counsel
of recognized standing in the field of federal income taxation
to the effect that neither such deposit nor the investment
thereof shall adversely affect the excludability of interest
on any Bond from the gross income of any owner thereof for
federal income tax purposes.
Any money and Governmental Securities deposited for
such purpose shall be held by the Paying Agent (or other bank
or trust company) with which such deposit is made in a
segregated account in trust or escrow for the Holders of the
Bonds with respect to which such deposit is made and, together
with any investment income therefrom, shall be disbursed
solely to pay the principal of and interest on such Bonds when
due, except that cash receipts may be withdrawn and paid to
the Issuer provided the date and amount of such withdrawals
are taken into account in the most recent verification of the
accounting firm referred to in this Section. No money or
Governmental Securities so deposited shall be invested or
reinvested unless in Governmental Securities and unless such
money and Governmental Securities not invested and such new
investments are together certified by an independent public
accounting firm of national reputation to be of such amounts,
maturities, and interest payment dates and to bear such
interest as will, without further investment or reinvestment
of either the principal amount thereof or the interest
earnings therefrom, be sufficient to make such payment.
At such times as a Bond shall be deemed to be paid
hereunder, as aforesaid, it shall no longer be entitled to the
benefits of this Order, except for the purposes of any such
payment from such money or Governmental Securities.
SECTION THIRTEEN
