The Underwriters may offer and sell the Bonds to certain dealers(including dealers depositing Bonds into unit investment trusts)and others at prices lower than public offering price stated on the cover page hereof. The initial offering price may be changed from time to time by the Underwriters. Prices and Marketability The delivery of the Bonds is conditioned upon the receipt by the District of a certificate executed and delivered by the Underwriters on or before the date of delivery of the Bonds stating the prices at which a substantial amount of the Bonds of each maturity have been sold to the public. For this purpose the term"public"shall not include any person who is a bond house,broker or similar person acting in the capacity of Underwriters or wholesaler.

Information concerning reoffering yields or prices is the responsibility of the Underwriters. 4 The District has no control over the reoffering yields orprices ofthe Bonds or over trading of the Bonds in the secondary market. Moreover,there is no assurance that a secondary market will be made in the Bonds. If there isa secondary market,the difference between the bid and asked prices of the Bonds may be greater than the difference between the bid and asked prices of bonds of comparable maturity and quality issued by more traditional municipal entities,as bonds of such entities are more generally bought,sold or traded in the secondary market. The prices and other terms respecting the offering and sale of the Bonds may be changed from time to time by the Underwriters after the Bonds are released for sale,and the Bonds may be offered and sold at prices other than the initial offering price,including sales to dealers who may sell the Bonds into investment accounts.

BOND INSURANCE Bond Insurance Policy Concurrently with the issuance of the Bonds, (" ")will issue its Municipal Bond Insurance Policy for the Bonds(the"Policy"). The Policy guarantees the scheduled payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds when due as set forth in the form of the Policy included as"APPENDIX C"to this Official Statement. BOND INSURANCE RISK FACTORS In the event of default of the payment of principal or interest with respect to the Bonds when all or some becomes due, any owner of the Bonds shall have a claimunder the Policy for such payments. However,in the event of any acceleration of the due date of such principal by reason of mandatory or optional redemption or acceleration resulting from default or otherwise,other than any advancement of maturity pursuant to a mandatory sinking fund payment,the payments are to be made in such amounts and at such times as such payments would have been due had there not been any such acceleration. The Policy does not insure against redemption premium,if any. The payment of principal and interest in connection with mandatory or optional prepayment of the Bonds by the issuer which is recovered by the issuer from the bond owner as avoidable preference under applicable bankruptcy law is covered by the insurance policy,however,such payments will be made by the Insurer at such time and in such amounts as would have been due absence suchprepayment by the District unless the Insurer chooses to pay such amounts at an earlier date. Under most circumstances,default of payment of principal and interest does not obligate acceleration of the obligations of the Insurer without appropriate consent. The Insurer may direct and must consent to any remedies and the Insurer's consent may be required in connection with amendments to any applicable bond documents. 5 In the event the Insurer is unable to make payment of principal and interest as such payments become due under the Policy,the Bonds are payable solely from the moneys received pursuant to the applicable bond documents. In the event the Insurer becomes obligated to make payments with respect to the Bonds,no assurance is given that such event will not adversely affect the market price of the Bonds or the marketability(liquidity)for the Bonds. The long-term ratings on the Bonds are dependent in part on the financial strength of the Insurer and its claim paying ability. The Insurer's financial strength and claims paying ability are predicated upon a number of factors which could change over time. No assurance is given that the long-termratings of the Insurer and of the ratings on the Bonds insured by the Insurer will not be subject to downgrade and such event could adversely affect the market price of the Bonds or the marketability(liquidity)for the Bonds. See`BOND INSURANCE"and"RATINGS"herein. The obligations of the Insurer are contractual obligations and in an event of default by the Insurer,the remedies available may be limited by applicable bankruptcy law or state law related to insolvency of insurance companies. Neither the District or Underwriter have made independent investigation into the claims paying ability of the Insurer and no assurance or representation regarding the financial strength or projected financial strength of the Insurer is given. Thus,wlrenmaldng an investment decision,potential investors should carefully consider the ability of the District to pay principal and interest on the Bonds and the claims paying ability of the Insurer, particularly over the life of the investment See"BOND INSURANCE"herein for further information provided by the Insurer and the Policy,which includes further instructions for obtaining current financial information concerning the Insurer. RATINGS Standard&Poor's Ratings Services("Standard&Poor's")is a division of The McGraw Hill Companies,Inc.,a New York corporation. Standard&Poor's is located at 55 Water Street,New York,New York 10041,telephone number (212)208-8000,and has engaged in providing ratings for corporate bonds since 1923 andmunicipal bonds since 1940. Long-term debt ratings assigned by Standard&Poor's reflect its analysis of the overall level of credit risk involved in financings. At present Standard&Poor's assigns long-term debt ratings with symbols "AAA" (the highest rating) through"D"(the lowest rating). The Bonds are expected to receive an initial rating of"AAA" from Standard&Poor's solely in reliance upon its evaluation of the claims-paying ability of the Insurer. The underlying credit rating of the District assigned by Standard &Poor's is"A." An explanation of the significance of the foregoing ratings may only be obtained from Standard&Poor's. The foregoing ratings express only the view of Standard&Poor's at the time the ratings are given. Furthermore,a security rating is not a recommendation to buy,sell or hold securities. There is no assurance that the ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by Standard&Poor's,if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant Any such downward change in or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. The District is not aware of any ratings assigned the Bonds other than the ratings of Standard&Poor's. 6 • OFFICIAL STATEMENT SUMMARY The following summary of certain information contained herein is qualified in its entirety by the detailed information and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Official Statement.

See"PLAN OF FINANCING." 13 BRAZORIA COUNTY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 3 WATERWORKS AND SEWER SYSTEM COMBINATION UNLIMITED TAX AND REVENUE REFUNDING BONDS SERIES 2009 INTRODUCTION This Official Statement provides certain information with respect to the issuance by Brazoria County Municipal Utility District No.3,Brazoria County,Texas(the"District")of its Waterworks and Sewer System Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2009(the"Bonds"). There follow in this Official Statement descriptions of the Bonds,the Plan of Financing,and certain information about the District and its finances. All descriptions of documents contained herein are only summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to each such document. Copies of such documents may be obtained from the District upon request and payment of the costs of duplication therefor. Certain capitaiiied terms used in this Official Statement have the same meanings assigned to such terms in the Bond Order(hereinafter defined),except as otherwise indicated herein. THE BONDS General The following is a description of certain terms and conditions of the Bonds, which description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the resolution of the Board of Directors of the District(the"Board")authorizing the issuance of the Bonds(the "Bond Order"). A copy of the Bond Order may be obtained from the District upon request and • payment of the costs of duplication thereof. The Bond Order authorizes the issuance and sale of the Bonds and prescribes the terms, conditions and provisions for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds by the District. The Bond Order also approves and authorizes execution of the Escrow Agreement with the Escrow Agent and the Bond Purchase Agreement with the Underwriters, all as hereinafter defined. The Bonds are dated October 1, 2009, and will mature on September 1 of the years and in the principal amounts indicated on the cover page hereof. The Bonds will accrue interest from October 1,2009(or the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for)at the stated interest rates indicated on the cover page of this Official Statement Interest on the Bonds is payable on March 1,2010(five-month interest payment),and on each March 1 and September 1 thereafter until maturity or prior redemption. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds in the denomination of$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Principal of the Bonds will be payable to the registered holder thereof(the"Registered Owner")at maturity or earlier redemption upon presentation of Bonds at the principal payment office of the paying agent/regisirar,initially,The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,N.A., currently in Dallas, Texas, or any successor paying.agentlregistrar(the "Registrar"). Interest on the Bonds will be payable by check,dated as of the interest payment date,and mailed by the Registrar to Registered Owners as shown on the records of the Registrar at the close of business on the 15th day of the calendar month next preceding each interest payment date (the "Record Date"), or by other such customary banking arrangements as maybe acceptable to the Registrar and the Registered Owner at the expense and risk of the Registered Owner. Book-Entry-Only System DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds.The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities in the name of Cede&Co.(DTC's partnership nominee)or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.One fully-registered certificate will be issued for the Bonds,in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. 14 DTC, the world's Iargest securities depository,is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law,a"banking organization"within the meaning of the New York Banking Law,a member of the Federal Reserve System, a"clearing corporation"within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency"registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over3.5 million issues of U.S.and non U.S.equity issues,corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 100 countries that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities,through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates.Direct Participants include both U.S.and non-U.S.securities brokers and dealers,banks,trust companies,clearing companies,and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&Clearing Corporation("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation,all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S.and non-U.S.securities brokers and dealers, banks,trust companies, and clearing companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant,either directly or indirectly("IndirectParticipants").DTC has Standard&Poor's highest rating:AAA.The DTC Rules applicable to its Direct and Indirect Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.ora. Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants,which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants'records.Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase.Beneficial Owners are,however,expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction as well as periodic statements of their holdings,from the Director Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books ofDirect and IndirectParticipants acting on behalf ofBeneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Bonds,except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee,Cede&Co.,or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&Co.or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited,which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants,by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants,and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be govemedby arrangements among them,subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as maybe in effect from time to time.Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds,such as redemptions,tenders,defaults,and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners.In the alternative,Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the Registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within an issue are being redeemed,DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede &Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from District or Paying Agent,on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing 15 instructions and customary practices,as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in"street name,"and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC nor its nominee,Paying Agent,or District,subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment to Cede&Co.(or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative ofDTC)is the responsibility ofthe District or Paying Agent Disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility ofDTC, and reimbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. • DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the District or Paying Agent.Under such circumstances,in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The District may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC(or a successor securities depository). In that event,Bond certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the District believes to be reliable,but the District takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. Assignments,Transfers and Exchanges The Bonds may be transferred, registered and assigned only on the registration books of the Registrar, and such registration and transfer shall be without expense or service charge to the Registered Owner,except for any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such registration and transfer in.accordance with the terms of the Bond Order. A Bond may be assigned by the execution of an assignment form on.the Bonds or by other instrument of transfer and assignment acceptable to the Registrar.At any time after the date of delivery of the Bonds to the Initial Purchaser(the"Initial Delivery"),any Bond may be transferred or exchanged upon its presentment and surrender at the office of the Registrar,duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the Registered Owner.To the extent possible,new Bonds issued in an exchange or transfer ofBonds will be delivered to the Registered Owner or assignee of the owner in not more than three(3)business days after the receipt of the request in proper form to transfer,exchange or replace the Bonds.New Bonds registered and delivered in an exchange or transfer shall be in denominations of$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof for any one maturity and for a like aggregate principal amount as the Bond or Bonds surrendered for exchange or transfer.Neither the District nor the Registrar is required(1)to transfer or exchange any Bond during a period beginning at the opening of business on a Record Date and ending at the close of business on the next succeeding interest payment date,or(2)to transfer or exchange any Bond selected for redemption in whole or in part within thirty(30)calendar days of the redemption date. In the event the book-entry-only system is discontinued,the District has agreed to replace mutilated,destroyed,lost or stolen Bonds upon surrender of the mutilated Bonds,or receipt of satisfactory evidence of such destruction,loss or theft and receipt by the District and the Registrar of security or indemnity to keep them harmless.The District will require payment of taxes,governmental charges and other expenses in connection with any such replacement. Authorization of the Bonds At an election held within the District on May 6,1995,the voters of the District authorized the issuance of an aggregate of S34,600,000 inbonds for waterworks,sanitary sewer,and drainage facilities,and$30,000,000 for refundingpurposes. The Bonds are issued pursuant to the authority of the Bond Order;Article XVI, Section 59 of the Texas Constitution; Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code, as amended; and Chapter 1207,Texas Government Code. See"Legal Ability to Issue Additional Debt" below. 16 Source of Payment The Bonds,when issued, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the District, and the principal thereof and the interest thereon, together with the principal of and interest on the Remaining Outstanding Bonds and such additional tax bonds of the District as may hereafter be issued by the District,if any, are payable from and secured by the proceeds of an annual ad valorem tax,without legal limitation as to rate or amount levied against all taxable property located within the District. The District has the authority to levy an annual ad valorem tax without limit as to rate or amount on all taxable property within the District for each year the Bonds are outstanding. In the Bond Order, the District has covenanted to establish a rate of taxation each year ample and sufficient to provide funds to pay the interest on the Bonds and to pay the principal when due, full allowance being made for delinquencies and costs of collection. The Bonds are further payable from and secured by a pledge of and lien on certain Net Revenues,if any,of the System.Net Revenues are defined by the Bond Order as all income that is derived from the ownership and operation of the District's System as the same is purchased,constructed or otherwise acquired,which remains after deducting the operation and maintenance expenses of the System,but not including income derived from contracts that is pledged for payment of any special project bonds that maybe issued. It is not expected that the Net Revenues will ever be sufficient to contribute significantly,if at all,to debt service payments. See"THE SYSTEM-Waterworks and Sewer System Operating Statement." See"TAXING PROCEDURES"and"TAX DATA-Tax Rate Calculations"for tax adequacy, manner of assessing and collecting taxes,and the remedy to the District in the event oftax delinquencies;and"Registered Owners'Remedies"below for the remedies available to Bondholders in the event of default in the performance of any of the covenants set forth in the Bond Order or in the event of default in the payment of principal of or interest an the • Bonds. The Bonds are solely obligations of Brazoria County Municipal Utility District No.3 and are not obligations of the State of Texas,Brazoria County,Texas,the City of PearIand,Texas,or any political subdivision or agency other than the District. Redemption Provisions The Bonds are not subject to optional redemption prior to their scheduled maturity. Defeasance The Bond Order provides that the District may discharge its obligations to the Registered Owners of any or all of the Bonds to pay principal,interest and redemption price thereon in any manner permitted by law. Under current Texas law, such discharge may be accomplished either(i)by depositing with the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas a sum of money equal to the principal of,premium,if any,and all interest to accrue on the Bands to maturity or redemption or(ii)by depositing with any place of payment(paying agent) of the Bonds or other obligations of the District payable from revenues or from ad valorem taxes or both,or with a bank or commercial trust company named in the proceedings authorizing such discharge,amounts sufficient to provide for the payment and/or redemption of the Bonds;provided that such deposits may be invested and reinvested only in(a)direct noncallable obligations of the United States of America,(b)noncallable obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States,including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that,on the date the governing body of the District adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the issuance ofrefunding bonds,are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent,and(c) non-callable obligations of a state or an agency or a county,municipality,or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that, on the date the governing body of the District adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the issuance of refunding bonds,are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent,and which mature and/or bear interest payable at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to provide for the scheduled payment and/or redemption of the Bonds. 17 Upon such deposit as described above,such Bonds shall no longer be regarded as outstanding or unpaid. After firm banking and financial arrangements for the discharge and final payment or redemption of the Bonds have been made as described above,all rights of the District to initiate proceedings to call the Bonds for redemption or take any other action amending the terms of the Bonds are extinguished;provided,however,that the right to call the Bonds for redemption is not extinguished if the District (i)in the proceedings providing for the firm banking and financial arrangements, expressly reserves the right to call the Bonds forredemption;(ii)gives notice ofthe reservation of that right to the owners of the Bonds immediately following the making of the firm banking and financial arrangements;and(iii)directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorizes. There is no assurance that the current law will not be changed in the future in a manner which would permit investments other than those described above to be made with amounts deposited to defease the Bonds.Because the Bond Order does not contractually limit such investments,Registered Owners maybe deemed to have consented to defeasance with such other investments,notwithstanding the fact that such investments may not be of the same investment quality as those currently permitted under Texas law. Amendments to Bond Order The District may,without the consent ofornotice to any Registered Owners of the Bonds,amend,change or modify the Bond Order as may be required(a)by the provisions thereof,(b)for the purpose of curing any ambiguity,inconsistency, or formal defect or omission therein,or(c)in connection with any other change which is not to the prejudice of the Registered Owners of the Bonds. Except for such amendments,changes,or modifications,the District shall not amend, change or modify the Bond Order in any manner without the consent of the Registered Owners of the Bonds. Annexation and Consolidation The District lies within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Pearland,Texas(the"City"). Under Texas statutes, the District may be annexed in whole,but not in part,by the City without the District's consent in which case the City must dissolve the District and assume the assets, functions and obligations of the District,including the Bonds,the Outstanding Bonds,and any other bonded indebtedness of the District existing at the time of annexation. The District and the City of PearIand have in the past discussed the execution of a strategic partnership agreement("SPA") one element of which would result in the dissolution of the District by the City on or within 90 days after a proposed annexation conversion date ofDecember 31,2010. When any bonds or other obligations of the District payable in whole or in part from ad valorem taxes have been assumed by the City,the City is required to levy and cause to be collected, upon all taxable property within the City,taxes sufficient to pay principal of and interest on any such bonds or obligations as they become due and payable. The City may issue refunding bonds in its own name to refund any bonds or obligations so assumed. Until such time as the SPA is executed by the District and the City,the District cannot represent any specific element of such SPA,or that it will become effective at all. Therefore,no representation is made that the City will ever abolish the District and assume its debt,nor that the City would be able to pay such debt service obligations if it were to annex the District. As a result of the annexation by the District in 1998 of approximately 102.89 acres of land,and the annexation in 2000 of approximately 69.39 acres of land, a portion of the District may also lie within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Manvel. The City of Pearland,but not the City of Manvel,may annex the entirety of the District. The District has the right to consolidate with other districts and,in connection therewith,to provide for the consolidation of its System with the water and sewer systems of the district or districts with which it is consolidating.No representation is made that the District will ever consolidate its System with another district or consolidate its System with other systems. Legal Ability to Issue Additional Debt The District has reserved the right in the Bond Order to issue additional bonds. Following the issuance of the Bonds, the District will have the right to issue$14,480,000 in bonds for waterworks,sanitary sewer,and drainage facilities,and $19,780,000 for refunding purposes,as approved by the District's voters at the election held on May 6,1995. 18 The District has the right to issue the aforementionedbonds without the necessity of further voter authorization. Except for such refunding bonds,before issuing any additional bonds for waterworks,sanitary sewer,and drainage facilities, the District would have to obtain approval of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality(the"TCEQ")for the issuance of such bonds and the projects to be financed thereby. The District will,with the issuance of the Bonds,have financed all components of the System which it currently expects to finance,and thus the District currently does not anticipate issuing additional bonds to finance the acquisition or construction of such facilities in the future. See "DEVELOPMENT AND HOME CONS'11tUCTION,""FUTURE DEVELOPMENT,"and"TIE SYSTEM."However, the District cannotrepresentthat conditions might not materialize that would necessitate such future issuance.In addition to the above-mentioned bonds, the District has the right to issue such additional tax bonds, revenue bonds, or combination tax and revenue bonds as maybe hereafter approved by the voters of the District. The District also has the right to issue revenue notes,bond anticipation notes and tax anticipation notes without the necessity of voter approval. In addition,the District has the right to enter into contracts and to pledge its taxing power to secure any payments the District is required to make under such a contract,provided the provisions of the contract are approved by the voters of the District. The District further has the right to issue refunding bonds,in addition to the refunding bonds described above,with additional voter approval. The Bond Order places no limitation on the amount of additional bonds which may be issued by the District. The District is authorized by statute to develop parks and recreational facilities,including the issuing of bonds payable from taxes for such purpose. Before the District could issue parkbonds payable from taxes,the following actions would be required:(a)amendments to existing city ordinances specifying the purposes for which the District may issue bonds; (b)preparation of a detailedparkplan;(c)authorization ofparkbonds by the qualified voters in the District;(d)approval of the park project and bonds by the TCEQ;and(a)approval of the bonds by the Attorney General of Texas. If the District does issue park bonds,the outstanding principal amount of such bonds may not exceed an amount equal to one percent of the value of the taxable property in the District. The Board has not considered authorizing the preparation of a park plan or calling a park bond election at this time. Registered Owners' Remedies The Bond Order contains a covenant that while any part of the Bonds is outstanding,there shall be assessed,Ievied, and collected an annual ad valorem tax,without limit as to rate or amount,on all taxable property within the District, sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds when due and to pay the expenses necessary in collecting taxes. Texas law and the Bond Order provide that in the event that the District defaults in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Bonds when due,fails to make payments required by the Bond Order into the Bond Fund, or defaults in the observance or performance of any of the covenants,conditions,or obligations set forth in the Bond Order, any Registered Owner shall be entitled at any time to a writ of mandamus from a court of competent jurisdiction compelling and requiring the Board of Directors of the District to observe and perform any covenant, obligation, or condition prescribed by the Bond Order. Such right is in addition to all other rights the Registered Owners may be provided by the laws of the State of Texas. Except for mandamus,the Bond Order does not specifically provide for remedies to a Registered Owner in the event of a District default, nor does it provide for the appointment of a trustee to protect and enforce the interests of the Registered Owners. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Bonds in the event of default. Consequently, the remedy of mandamus is a remedy which may have to be relied upon from year to year by the Registered Owners. Although the Registered Owners could obtain a judgment against the District, such judgment could not be enforced by direct levy and execution against the District's property. Further, the Registered Owners cannot themselves foreclose on property within the District or sell property within the District in order to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The enforceability of the rights and remedies of the Registered Owners may be further limited by federal bankruptcy laws, reorganization,or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions such as the District. See "Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights"below. 19 Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners'Rights The enforceability of the rights and remedies of the Registered Owners may be Iimited 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. Subject to the requirements of Texas law, the District may voluntarily proceed under Chapter 9 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§901-946,if the District(1)is generally authorized to file for federal bankruptcy protection by State law, (2) is insolvent or unable to meet its debts as they mature, (3)desires to effect a plan to adjust such debts, and(4)has either obtained the agreement of or negotiated in good faith with its creditors or is unable to negotiate with its creditors because negotiation is impracticable. Under recent Texas legislation, a municipal utility district, such as the District,must obtain the approval of the TWC prior to filing for bankruptcy. Such legislation requires that the TWC investigate the financial condition of the District and authorize the District to proceed only if the District has fully exercised its rights and powers under Texas law and remains unable to meet its debts and other obligations as they mature. If the District decides in the future to proceed voluntarily under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the District would develop and file a plan for the adjustment of its debts, and the Bankruptcy Court would confirm the District's plan if(1)the plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (2)all payments to be made in connection with the plan are fully disclosed and reasonable, (3)the District is not prohibited by law from taking any action necessary to carry out the plan, (4)administrative expenses are paid in full, and(5)the plan is in the best interests of creditors and is feasible. The rights and remedies of the Registered Owners would be adjusted in accordance with the confirmed plan of adjustment of the District's debt. See"INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS." The District may not be placed into bankruptcy involuntarily. Legal Investment and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas The fallowing is quoted from Section 49.186 of the Texas Water Code,and is applicable to the District "(a) All bonds,notes,and other obligations issued by a district shall be legal and authorized investments for all banks,trust companies,building and loan associations,savings and loan associations,insurance companies of all kinds and types, fiduciaries,and trustees,and for all interest and sinking funds and other public funds of the state, and all agencies,subdivisions,and instrumentalities of the state,including all counties,cities,towns,villages,school districts, and all other kinds and types of districts,public agencies,and bodies politic. "(b) A district's bonds,notes,and other obligations are eligible and lawful security for all deposits of public funds of the state,and all agencies,subdivisions,and instrumentalities of the state,including all counties,cities,towns,villages, school districts,and all other kinds and types of districts,public agencies,and bodies politic,to the extent of the market value ofthe bonds,notes,and other obligations when accompanied by any unmatured interest coupons attached to them." The Public Funds Collateral Act(Chapter 2257, Texas Government Code) also provides that bonds of the District (including the Bonds)are eligible as collateral for public funds. No representation is made that the Bonds will be suitable for or acceptable to financial or public entities for investment or collateralpurposes. No representation is made concerning other laws,rules,regulations or investment criteria which apply to or which might be utilized by any of such persons or entities to limit the acceptability or suitability ofthe Bonds for any of the foregoing purposes. Prospective purchasers are urged to carefully evaluate the investment quality of the Bonds as to the suitability or acceptability of the Bonds for investment or collateral purposes. 20 PLAN OF FINANCING Use of Bond Proceeds Proceeds of the sale of the Bonds,together with certain funds of the District that are lawfully available for such purpose, will be applied to advance refund and defease certain of the District's Waterworks and Sewer System Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Bonds,Series 1998(the"Series 1998 Bonds"),Waterworks and Sewer System Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Bonds,Series 1999(the"Series 1999 Bonds"),Waterworks and Sewer System Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Bonds, Series 1999A(the"Series 1999A Bonds") and Waterworks and Sewer System Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Bonds, Series 2001 (the"Series 2001 Bonds"),in the aggregate principal amount of$5,895,000. The proceeds will also be used to pay certain costs of issuing the Bonds. The Bonds are being issued to reduce the District's debt service payments, and will result in present value savings in such debt service payments. See "DISTRICT DEBT-Debt Service Requirements." The principal amounts and maturity dates of the Series 1998 Bonds, Series 1999 Bonds, Series 1999A Bonds and Series 2001 Bonds to be refunded by the Bonds are as follows: Refunded Series Refunded Series Refunded Series Refunded Series Maturing 1998 Bonds 1999 Bonds 1999A Bonds 2001 Bonds September 1 Principal Amount Principal Amount Principal Amount Principal Amount 20I1 SI05,000 $85,000 S170,000 2012 110,000 90,000 180,000 $180,000 2013 115,000 95,000 190,000 190,000 2014 120,000 105,000 195,000 205,000 2015 125,000 110,000 205,000 235,000 2016 135,000 115,000 220,000 250,000(a) 2017 145,000 120,000 230,000 2018 150,000 130,000 245,000 2019 155,000 135,000 260,000 2020 165,000 145,000 265,000 $I,325,000 S1,120,000 S2,160,000 S1,280,000 Redemption Date: 10/ /2009 10/ /2009 10/ /2009 10/ /2009 Aggregate Principal Amount of Refunded Bonds: $5,980,000 (a) Consisting of a$250,000 portion of a term bond in the aggregate principal amount of$520,000 maturing on September 1,2018,subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on September 1 in the years and principal amounts indicated. 21 The Non-Refunded Bonds In addition to the Series 1998 Bonds,Series 1999 Bonds,Series 1999A Bonds and Series 2001 Bonds,the District has previously issued Waterworks and Sewer System Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Bonds,Series 1996(the "Series 1996 Bonds"),Waterworks and Sewer System Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Bonds,Series 2002 (the"Series 2002 Bonds"),Waterworks and Sewer System Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2003(the"Series 2003 Refunding Bonds"), and Waterworks and Sewer System Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Bonds, Series 2005 (the "Series 2005 Bonds"). The District issued the Series 2003 Refunding Bonds to advance refund and defense certain maturities of the Series 1996 Bonds. Collective reference is made in this Official Statement to Series 1996 Bonds,Series 1998 Bonds,Series 1999 Bonds,Series 1999ABonds,Series 2001 Bonds,Series 2002 Bonds,Series 2003 Refunding Bonds,and Series 2005 Bonds as the"Outstanding Bonds." The District has never defaulted in the timely payment ofprincipal of and interest on the Outstanding Bonds. After issuance of the Bonds,the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds,less the maturities thereofpreviously paid by the District and less the Refunded Bonds,will be$8,420,000(the"Remaining Outstanding Bonds"),and the aggregate principal amount of the District's total directbonded indebtedness,including the Bonds,will be$14,725,000.

' 22 Escrow Agreement The District will enter into an escrow agreement(the`Escrow Agreement")with The Bank ofNew York Trust Company, N.A.(the"Escrow Agent"),Dallas,Texas pursuant to which a portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be invested in certain securities of the United States ofAmerica(the"Escrowed Obligations"),deposited in an escrow fund,and applied to provide for scheduled payment of principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds until their redemption dates,and to provide for payment of the redemption price of the Refunded Bonds on their redemption dates. By the deposit of the Escrowed Obligations and cash with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement,the District will have effected the defeasance of the Refunded Bonds pursuant to the terms of the Bond Order.In the opinion of Bond Counsel, as a result of such deposit, firm banking and financial arrangements will have been made for the discharge and final payment of the Refunded Bonds pursuant to the Escrow Agreement,and such Refunded Bonds will be deemed to be fully paid and no longer outstanding except for the purpose of being paid from the funds provided therefor in such Escrow Agreement. Sources and Uses of Funds The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be applied as follows: SOURCES OF FUNDS: Principal Amount of Bonds Plus: Premium District Contribution Accrued Interest Less: Original Issue Discount Total Sources of Funds USES OF FUNDS: Escrow Fund Deposit Accrued Interest to Bond Fund Expenses: Underwriters Discount Municipal Bond Insurance Premium and Other Issuance Expenses Total Uses of Funds INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS General The Bonds,which are obligations of the District and not of the State of Texas,Brazoria County,Texas,or any political subdivision other than the District,are secured by a continuing,direct,annual ad valorem tax,without legal limitation as to rate or amount,on all taxable property located within the District,and are further payable from and secured by a pledge of and lien on certainNet Revenues(as defined herein),if any,of the District's waterworks and sewer system(the "System"),to the extent and upon the conditions described herein. The System is not expected to produce sufficient Net Revenues to make significant contributions,if any,to future debt service payments. See"1'HE BONDS-Source of Payment." The ultimate security for payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds depends upon the ability of the District to(i)collect from the property owners within the District taxes Ievied against all taxable property located within the District,or,in the event taxes are not collected and foreclosure proceedings are instituted by the District,upon the value of the taxable property with respect to taxes levied by the District and by other taxing authorities,and(ii) generate Net Revenues from the operation of the District's System. The District makes no representations that over the life of the Bonds the property within the District will maintain a value sufficient to justify continued payment of taxes by the property owners, or that any Net Revenues will be generated. The potential increase in taxable valuation of District property is directly related to the economics of the residential housing industry,not only due to general economic conditions,but also due to the particular factors discussed below. 23 Factors Affecting Taxable Values and Tax Payments Economic Factors: The development of the entirety of the land located within the District that is available for development is complete. The District currently contains a total of 1,411 fully developed single-family residential lots on all 1,411 of which single-family homes have been constructed and sold to home purchasers as is described in the sections of this Official Statement entitled"DEVELOPMENT AND HOME CONSTRUCTION"and"1'riE SYSTEM." Maximum Impact on District Tax Rates Since the entirety of the land located within the District that is available for development has been developed into a total of 1,411 single-family residential lots on all 1,411 of which homes have been constructed and sold to home purchasers, the value of the land and improvements currently located within the District will be a major determinant of the ability of the District to collect,and the willingness of District property owners to pay,ad valorem taxes levied by the District. The 2008 Assessed Valuation of property within the District is$260,476,480, See"TAX DATA." After issuance of the Bonds,the Maximum Annual Debt Service Requirement on the Bonds and the Remaining Outstanding Bonds will be$1,730,955 (2020)and the Average Annual Debt Service Requirements will be$1,659,404(2010 through 2020, inclusive). Assuming no increase to or decrease fromthe 2008 Assessed Valuation,and no use of other legally available District funds,tax rates of$0.70 and$0.68 per$100 of Assessed Valuation at a 95%collection rate would be necessary to pay the Maximum Annual Debt Service Requirement and the Average Annual Debt Service Requirements, respectively. In addition,the 2009 Assessed Valuation of property within the District is$257,548,430. Assuming no increase to or decrease from the 2009 Assessed Valuation,and no use of other legally available District funds,tax rates of$0.71 and$0.68 per$100 of Assessed Valuation at a 95%tax collection rate would be necessary to pay the Maximum Annual Debt Service Requirement and the Average Annual Debt Service Requirements,respectively. See"TAX DATA -Tax Rate Calculations." The District has levied a debt service tax in 2009 of$0.56 per$100 of Assessed Valuation,plus a maintenance tax of $0.07 per$100 ofAssessed Valuation,for a total 2009 District tax rate of$0.63 per$100 of Assessed Valuation.As the above information illustrates,the 2009 debt service tax rate of$0.56 per$100 of Assessed Valuation is not sufficient to pay the Average Annual Debt Service Requirements on the Bonds and the Remaining Outstanding Bonds,assuming the District's tax base at the level of the 2009 Assessed Valuation,and assuming no use of other legally available District funds,a 95%tax collection rate and the issuance of no bonds by the District in addition to the Remaining Outstanding Bonds and the Bonds. The District's Bond Fund balance is estimated to be$2,299,033 upon delivery of the Bonds. Although neither Texas law nor the Bond Order requires that any specific amount be retained in the Bond Fund at any time,the District has in the past applied earnings from the investment of monies held in the Bond Fund to meet the debt service requirements of the Remaining Outstanding Bonds(see"APPENDIX B-ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT"). In addition,the District had,at July 31,2009,total annual tax collections averaging 99.97%for the years 1998 through 2007,and had collected 99.45%of its 2008 tax levy,which was in the process of collection,as of that date. Therefore, the District anticipates being able to pay the Average Annual and Maximum Annual Debt Service.Requirements of the Bonds and the Remaining Outstanding Bonds without increasing its debt service levy above the level of the 2009 debt service levy of$0.56 per$100 of Assessed Valuation. Any increase in taxable values depends on the continuing construction and/or sale of homes and other taxable improvements within the District. See"TAXING PROCEDURES" and"TAX DATA-Tax Rate Calculations." Tax Collection Limitations The District's ability to make debt service payments maybe adversely affected by its inability to collect ad valorem taxes. Under Texas law,the levy of ad valorem taxes by the District constitutes a lien in favor of the District on a parity with the liens of all other state and local taxing authorities on the property against which taxes are levied,and such lien may be enforced by foreclosure. The District's ability to collect ad valorem taxes through such foreclosure may be impaired by the amount of taxes owed to other taxing units, a bankruptcy court's stay of tax collection procedures against a taxpayer,and market conditions limiting the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of taxable property. The District's lien on taxable property within the District for taxes levied against suchproparty can be foreclosed only in a judicial proceeding. See"TAXING PROCEDURES-District's Rights in the Event of Tax Delinquencies." 24 Production of Net Revenues The Net Revenues,if any,to be derived from the operation of the System are entirely dependent upon sales of water and sewer services to current and future residents and users of the System and related operating expenses. The District does not expect that the operation of the System will produce net operating revenue sufficient to make a significant contribution,if any,to the District's debt service requirements. See"THE SYSTEM-Waterworks and Sewer System Operating Statement." Registered Owners'Remedies and Bankruptcy In the event of default in the payment ofprincipal of or interest on the Bonds,the Registered Owners have a right to seek • a writ of mandamus requiring the District to levy adequate taxes each year to make such payments. Except for mandamus,the Bond Order does not provide for remedies to protect and enforce the interests ofthe Registered Owners. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Bonds in the event of default and,consequently,the remedy of mandamus may have to be relied upon from year to year. Although the Registered Owners could obtain a judgment against the District, such a judgment could not be enforced by a direct levy and execution against the District's property. Further,the Registered Owners cannot themselves foreclose on property within the District or sell property of the District in order to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Since there is no trust indenture or trustee,the Registered Owners • would have to initiate and finance the legal process to enforce their remedies. The enforceability of the rights and remedies of the Registered Owners further maybe 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. In this regard, should the District file a petition for protection from creditors under federal bankruptcy laws,a suit seeking the remedy of mandamus would be automatically stayed and could not be pursued unless authorized by a federal bankruptcy judge. See"THE BONDS-Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners'Rights." Marketability The District has no understanding(other than the initial reoffering yields)with the Underwriter regarding the reoffering yields or prices of the Bonds and has no control over the trading of the Bonds in the secondary market. There is no assurance that a secondary market will be made for the Bonds. If there is a secondary market,the difference between the bid and asked price of the Bonds may be greater than the bid and asked spread of other bonds generally bought,sold or traded in the secondary market. See"SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE BONDS." Future Debt The District has reserved in the Bond Order the right to issue the remaining $14,480,000 in bonds authorized but unissued for waterworks, sanitary sewer and drainage facilities, and$19,780,000 for refunding purposes, and such additional bonds as may hereafter be approved by both the Board of Directors and voters of the District. The District also has reserved the right to issue certain other additional bonds,special projectbonds,and other obligations described in the Bond Order. All of the remaining bonds authorized for waterworks,sanitary sewer and drainage facilities,and for refunding purposes,which have heretofore been authorized by voters of the District may be issued by the District from time to time as needed. The District will,with the issuance of the Bonds,have financed all components of the System which it currently expects to finance,and thus the District currently does not anticipate issuing additional bonds to finance the acquisition or construction of such facilities in the future. See "DEVELOPMENT AND HOME CONSTRUCTION,""FUTURE DEVELOPMENT,"and"THE SYSTEM."However,the District cannot represent that conditions might not materialize that would necessitate such future issuance. If additional bonds are issued in the future and property values have not increased proportionately,such issuance may increase gross debt/propertyvaluationratios and thereby adversely affect the investment quality or security of the Bonds. See"THE BONDS-Legal Ability to Issue Additional Debt" 25 • Continuing Compliance with Certain Covenants The Bond Order contains covenants by the District intended to preserve the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds, Failure by the District to comply with such covenants on a continuous basis prior to maturity of the Bonds could result in interest on the Bonds becoming taxable retroactively to the date of original issuance. See "TAX MATTERS." Competitive Nature of Houston Residential Housing Market The housing industry in the Houston area is very competitive,and the District can give no assurance that the building programs which are planned by the Builders will be continued.The competitive position ofMHlin the sale of developed lots or of the Builders,or any other home builder in the construction and sale of single-family residential units is affected by most of the factors discussed in this section,and such competitive position is directly related to tax revenues received by the District and the growth and maintenance of taxable values in the District. 26 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE DISTRICT (taken September,2009) • 27 PHOTOGRAPHS WITHIN THE DISTRICT (taken September,2009) • 28 PHOTOGRAPHS WITHIN THE DISTRICT (taken September,2009) 29 DISTRICT DEBT General The following tables and calculations relate to the Bonds and the Remaining Outstanding Bonds. After issuance of the Bonds,the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds,less the Refunded Bonds,will be$8,420,000(the "Remaining OutstandingBonds"),and the District's totalbonded indebtedness,including the Bonds,will be$14,725,000. The District is empowered to incur debt to be paid from revenues raised by taxation against all taxable property located within the District,and various other political subdivisions of government which overlap all or a portion of the District are empowered to incur debt to be paid from revenues raised or to be raised by taxation against all or a portion of the property within the District.

All property in the District is valued on the tax rolls by the Brazoria County Appraisal District(the"Appraisal District")at 100%of estimated market value as of January 1 of each year. The District's tax roll is certified by the Brazoria County Appraisal Review Board(the "Appraisal Review Board"). See"TAXING PROCEDURES"and"INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS-Factors Affecting Taxable Values and Tax Payments." (b) As of January 1,2009. All property in the District is valued on the tax rolls by the Brazoria County Appraisal District(the"Appraisal District")at 100%of estimated market value as of January 1 of each year. The District's tax roll is certified by the Braz aria County Appraisal Review B oard(the"Apprai s al Review Board"). Such sum includes certain values which have not been certified by the Appraisal Review Board,including the value of certain properties which has been proposed by the Appraisal District butprotested by the owners thereof to the Appraisal District. The Appraisal District's estimate of the total taxable value of such properties under protest 30 which will be assigned to such properties if the owners'claims are upheld by the Appraisal Review Board is $14,908,352,which total is included in the amount of$257,548,430. The Appraisal District has proposed the valuation of such protested properties to be$16,564,835. The District is unable to predict the amount of the District's final 2009 Assessed Valuation. Such final 2009 Assessed Valuation will not be determined until the valuation of all taxable property located within the District is certified by the Appraisal ReviewBoard for2009. See "TAXING PROCEDURES" and "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Factors Affecting Taxable Values and Tax Payments." (c) Excludes the Refunded Bonds. See"lHb BONDS-Legal Ability to Issue Additional Debt" (d) Neither the Bond Order nor Texas law requires that any particular amount be maintained in the Bond Fund at any time. Such sum gives effect to the payment by the District of the entirety of its debt service payments for 2009. See"PLAN OF FINANCING." Estimated Direct and Overlapping Debt Statement The following statement indicates the direct and estimated overlapping debt of the District. The table includes the estimated amount of indebtedness of governmental entities overlapping the District, defined as outstanding bonds payable from ad valorem taxes, and the estimated percentages and amounts of such indebtedness attributable to property located within the District. This information is based upon data secured from the individual jurisdictions and/or the Texas Municipal Reports published by the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas. The calculations by which the statement was derived were made in part by comparing the reported assessed valuation of the property in the overlapping taxing jurisdictions with the Assessed Valuation of property within the District. No effect has been given to the tax burden levied by any applicable taxing jurisdiction for maintenance and operational or other purposes.

In addition to the ad valorem taxes required to retire the foregoing direct and overlapping debt,the various taxing authorities mentioned above also are authorized by Texas law to assess,levy and collect ad valorem taxes for operation,maintenance,administration and/or general revenue purposes. Certain of the jurisdictions have in the past levied such taxes. The District has the power to assess,levy and collect ad valorem taxes for operation and maintenance purposes in an amount not to exceed$0.20 per $100 of Assessed Valuation, and such taxes have been authorized by the duly qualified voters of the District. The District levied a total tax of$0.63 per$100 of Assessed Valuation in 2009,consisting of debt service and maintenance tax components of$0.56 and$0.07 per$100 of Assessed Valuation,respectively. See"TAX DATA-Maintenance Tax"and-"Tax Rate Distribution."

See"TAX DATA-Tax Rate Calculations"and"INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS-Maximum Impact on District Tax Rates"for a discussion of the District's projected tax rates and the effect of the Bonds thereon. 32 TAXING PROCEDURES Authority • The Board is authorized to levy an annual ad valorem tax,without legal limitation as to rate and amount,on all taxable property within the District in sufficient amount to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and the Remaining Outstanding Bonds and any additional bonds payable from taxes which the District may hereafter issue,and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such taxes. The District agrees in the Bond Order to levy such a tax from year to year as described more fully above under the caption"THE BONDS-Source ofPayment" The Board is also authorized to levy and collect annual ad valorem taxes for the administration and maintenance of the District and the System and for the payment of certain contractual obligations if such taxes are authorized by vote of the District's electors at an election. The District's electors have authorized the levy of such a maintenance tax in the maximum amount of$0.20 per$100 of assessed valuation. See"TAX DATA-Maintenance Tax." Exempt Property Except for certain exemptions provided by Texas Iaw, all real property and tangible personal property and certain categories of intangible personal property with a tax situs in the District are subject to taxation by the District;however, no effort is expected to be made by the Brazoria County Appraisal District("BCAD" or the "Appraisal District") described below to assess taxes against tangible or intangible personal property not devoted to commercial or industrial use. Principal categories of exempt real property include: property owned by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions, if the property is used for public purposes;property exempt from ad valorem taxation by federal law; nonprofit cemeteries;and certain property owned by qualified charitable,religious,veterans,fraternal,or educational organizations. Partially exempt to the extent of$5,000 to$12,000 of assessed value,depending on the disability rating of the veteran,is property owned by a disabled veteran orbythe spouse or certain children of a deceased disabled veteran or a veteran who died while on active duty. Also partially exempt,if approved by the Board or at an election called by the Board upon petition of at least 20% of the number of the qualified voters who voted in the District's preceding election,are residence homesteads of certain persons who are disabled or at least 65 years old to the extent of$3,000 of appraised value or such higher amount as the Board or the District's voters may approve. The District's tax assessor is authorized by statute to disregard exemptions for the disabled and elderly if granting the exemption would impair the District's obligation to pay tax-supported debt incurred prior to adoption of the exemption by the District. The District's 2009 tax roll contains disabled veterans'exemptions aggregating$129,500 in assessed valuation,and over 65 or disabled persons'exemptions aggregating$1,860,000. The Board may exempt up to 20% of the market value of residential homesteads from ad valorem taxation. Such exemption would be in addition to any other applicable exemptions provided by law.However,if ad valorem taxes have previously been pledged for the payment of debt and the cessation of the levy would impair the obligation of the contract by which the debt was created,then the Board may continue to Ievy and collect taxes against the exempt value of the homesteads until the debt is discharged. To date the Board has not voted to exempt any percentage of the market value of residential homesteads from ad valorem taxation,but no representation maybe made that the Board will not determine to grant such exemption in the future. Brazoria County may designate all or part of the area within the District as a reinvestment zone,and the City,Brazoria County,or the PearIand Independent School District,may thereafter enter into tax abatement agreements with owners ofreal property within the zone. The tax abatement agreements may exempt from ad valorem taxation by the applicable taxing jurisdiction,and by the District,for a period of up to 15 years,all or any part of any increase in the assessed valuation ofproperty covered by the agreement over its assessedvaluation in the year in whichthe agreement is executed, on the condition that the property owner make specified improvements or repairs to the property in conformity with a comprehensive plan. None of the area within the District has been designated as a reinvestment zone to date. 33 County-Wide Appraisal District The Texas Property Tax Code(the"Property Tax Code")establishes an appraisal district and an appraisal review board in each county of the State of Texas. The appraisal district is governed by a board of directors elected by the governing bodies of cities,towns,school districts and,if entitled to vote,the conservation and reclamation districts thatparticipate in the appraisal district and of the county. The District is entitled to vote upon and participate in the selection of members ofthe board of directors of the BCAD. The board of directors selects a chief appraiserto manage the appraisal office of the appraisal district. All taxing units within Brazoria County,including the District,are included in the BCAD. BCAD is responsible for appraising property within the District,subject to review by the Brazoria County Appraisal Review Board(the"Appraisal Review Board"). The appraisal roll as approved by the Appraisal Review Board must be used by the District in establishing its tax rolls and tax rate. The valuation and assessment of taxable property within the District is governed by the Property Tax Code. Under current Texas law,the District is responsible for the levy and collection of its taxes and will continue to be so responsible unless the Board of Directors of the District,or the qualified voters of the District or of Brazoria County at an election held for such purpose,determines to transfer such functions to the BCAD or another taxing unit. Assessment and Levy Generally,all taxable property in the District(other than any qualifying agricultural and timberland)must be appraised at 100%of market value as of January 1 of each tax year,subject to review and approval by the Appraisal Review Board. Under the Property Tax Code,however,houses held for sale by a developer or builder which remain unoccupied,are not leased or rented and produce no income,are required to be assessed at the price for which they would sell as a unit to a purchaser who would continue the owner's business. Implementation of this amendment could reduce the assessed value ofbullder inventory within the District. See"TAX DATA-Principal 2009 Property Owners"below.The Property Tax Code requires each appraisal district to implement a plan providing for reappraisal of all real property in the appraisal district at least once every three years. It is not known what frequency of reappraisal will be utilized by the BCAD or whether reappraisals will be conducted on a zone or county-wide basis. The Property Tax Code permits land designated for agricultural use or timberland to be appraised at its value based on the land's capacity to produce agricultural or timber products rather than at its fair market value. Provisions of the Property Tax Code are complex and are not fully summarized here. Landowners wishing to avail themselves of the agricultural use designation must apply for the designation,and the appraiser is required by the Property Tax Code to act on each claimant's right to the designation individually. If a claimant receives the designation and later loses it by changing the use of the property or selling it to an unqualified owner,the District can collect taxes based on the new use, including for three years for agricultural use and for five years for agricultural land and timberland,prior to the Ioss of the designation. The chief appraiser must give written notice on May 15, or as soon thereafter as practicable to each owner if the appraised value of his property is greater than it was in the preceding year,if the appraised value of the property is greater than the value rendered by the property owner,or if the property was not on the appraisal roll in the preceding year. In addition,the chief appraiser must give written notice to each property owner whose property was reappraised in the current year or if ownership of the property changed during the preceding year. The appraisal review board has the ultimate responsibility for determining the value of all taxable property within the District;however,any owner who has timely filed notice with the appraisal review board may appeal the final determination by the appraisal review board by filing suit in Texas district court. Prior to such appeal and prior to the delinquency date,however,the owner must pay the tax due on the amount of value of the property involved that is not in dispute or the amount of tax paid in the prior year,whichever is greater,or the amount of tax due under the order from which the appeal is taken. In the event of such suit,the value of the property is determined by the court,or a jury if requested by any party. Additionally,the District is entitled to challenge certain matters before the appraisal review board,including the Ievel of appraisals of a certain category of property,the exclusion of property from the appraisal records,or the grant in whole or in part of a partial exemption. The District may not,however,protest a valuation of individual property. 34 By September 1 of each year,or as soon thereafter as practicable,the rate of taxation is set by the Board based upon the assessed valuation ofproperty within the District as of the preceding January 1 and the amount required to be raised for debt service,maintenance purposes and authorized contractual obligations. District and Taxpayer Remedies Under certain circumstances, taxpayers and taxing units, including the District,may appeal orders of the Appraisal Review Board by filing a petition for review in Texas state district court within forty-five(45) days after notice is received that a final order has been entered. In such event,the property value in question may be determined by the court,or by a jury,if requested by any party. Additionally,taxing units may bring suit against the Appraisal District to compel compliance with the Property Tax Code. The Property Tax Code establishes a procedure for notice to property owners of reappraisals reflecting increased property values,appraisals that are higher than renditions and appraisals ofpropertynot previously on an appraisal roll. Collection The District is responsible for the collection of its taxes, unless it elects to transfer such functions to another governmental entity. Taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year. The date of the delinquency may be postponed if the tax bills are mailed after September 30(if the Board has authorized discounts for early payment) or otherwise after January 10. So long as the Board has not transferred responsibility for collection of the taxes to another taxing unit or the Appraisal District,the Board may permit payment without penalty or interest of the final tax installment by July 1,if one-half of taxes assessed for the current year are paid • prior to December 1. The Board may approve a 3%discount for taxes paid in October,2%for November and 1%for December. Delinquent taxes are subject to a 6%penalty for the first month of delinquency,1%for each month thereafter to July 1 and 12%total if any taxes are unpaid on July 1. Delinquent taxes also accrue interest at the rate of 1%per month during the period they remain outstanding. In addition,the Board may impose a further penalty not to exceed 20% on all taxes unpaid an July 1 which is used to defray the cost of engaging an attorney for collection of delinquent taxes. Rollback of Operation and Maintenance Tax Rate The qualified voters of the District have the right to petition for a rollback of the District's operation and maintenance tax rate only if the total District tax bill on the average residence homestead increases by more than eight percent If a rollback election is called and passes,the rollback tax rate is the District's current year's debt service and contract tax rates plus 1.08 times the District's previous year's operation and maintenance tax rate. Thus,the District's debt service and contract tax rates cannot be changed by a rollback election. District's Rights in the Event of Tax Delinquencies Taxes levied by the District are a personal obligation of the person who owns or acquires the property on January 1 of the year for which the tax is imposed. On January 1 of each year,a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all taxes,penalties,and interest ultimately imposed for the year upon the property. The District's tax lien is on aparity with the tax liens of the other state and local jurisdictions levying taxes on property within the District. Whether a lien of the United States is on a parity with or takes priority over a tax lien of the District is determined by applicable federal law. In the absence of such federal Iaw,the District's tax lien takes priority over a lien of the United States. In the event a taxpayer fails to make timely payment of taxes due the District,the District may file suit at any time after taxes become delinquent to foreclose its lien securing payment of the tax,to enforce personal liability for the tax,or both. In filing a suit to foreclose a tax lien on real property,the District must join other taxing units that have claims for delinquent taxes against all or part of the same property. Collection of delinquent taxes may also be adversely affected by the amount of taxes owed to other federal,state and local taxing jurisdictions,by the effects of market conditions on the foreclosure sales price,by the taxpayer's right to redeem the property(a taxpayer may redeem property within six(6)months for commercial property and two(2)years for residential and all other types of property after the purchaser's deed issued at the foreclosure sale is filed in the county records),or by bankruptcy proceedings which restrain or stay the collection 35 of a taxpayer's debts. Federal bankruptcy law provides that an automatic stay of actions by creditors and other entities, including governmental units,goes into effect with the filing of any petition in bank uptcy. The automatic stay prevents governmental units from foreclosing on property and prevents liens for post-petition taxes from attaching to property and obtaining secured creditor status unless,in either case,an order lifting the stay is obtained from the bankruptcy court. In many cases post-petition taxes are paid as an administrative expense of the estate in bankruptcy or by order of the bankruptcy court. TAX DATA General All taxable property within the District is subject to the assessment,levy and collection by the District of a continuing, direct,annual ad valorem tax,without legal limitation as to rate or amount;sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Remaining Outstanding Bonds,the Bonds and any future tax supportedbonds which maybe issued from time to time as authorized. Taxes are levied by the District each year against the District's assessed valuation at January 1 of that year. Taxes become due October 1 of such year,or when billed,and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year. The Board covenants in the Bond Order to assess and levy, for each year that all or any part of the Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid,a tax ample and sufficient(with any net revenue)to produce funds to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due. The actual rate of such tax will be determined from year to year as a function of the District's tax base,its debt service requirements and available funds. Maintenance Tax The Board of Directors of the District has the statutory authority to levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax for maintenance of the District's improvements,if such maintenance tax is authorized by a vote of the District's electorate. On Novemb e r 3,1981,the District voters authorized the levy of such amaintenance tax in an amount not to exceed$0.20 per$100 of Assessed Valuation. Such tax is in addition to taxes which the District is authorized to levy for paying principal of and interest on the Bonds,the Remaining Outstanding Bonds and any tax supported bonds which may be issued in the future. The District has levied a maintenance tax in 2009 of$0.07 per$100 of Assessed Valuation and in prior years in varying amounts as indicated below under the caption"Tax Rate Distnbution." Exemptions To date the Board has not granted any exemptions for residential homesteads. The District's 2009 tax roll contains $129,500 in disabled veterans'exemptions and$1,860,000 in over 65 or disabled persons' exemptions. It cannot be predicted what actions future boards may take regarding exemptions. 36 Historical Values and Tax Collection History The following statement of tax collections sets forth, in condensed form, the historical Assessed Valuation and tax collections of the District. Such summary has been prepared for inclusion herein based upon information obtained from Districtrecords.Reference is made to such records,including the District's annual audited financial statements,for more complete information. % Collections Assessed Tax Adjusted Current& Tax Year Tax Year Valuation Rate(a) Lev Prior Years Ending 1998 $34,522,088 $1.26980 $ 438,361 100.00% 1999 1999 60,288,206 1.26000 759,631 100.00 2000 2000 100,117,684 1.16000 1,161,365 100.00 2001 2001 141,124,257 0.96700 1,364,672 99.99 2002 2002 177,292,807 0.91700 1,625,775 99.91 2003 2003 220,664,131 0.81700 1,802,826 100.00 2004 2004 248,518,350 0.71700 1,781,877 100.00 2005 2005 254,985,600 0.64700 1,649,757 100.00 2006 2006 252,800,500 0.58700 1,483,939 99.93 2007 2007 257,040,281 0.65000 1,670,766 99.88 2008 2008 260,476,480 0.63000 1,641,012 99.45(c) 2009 2009 257,548,430(d) 0.63000 1,622,555 (a) 2010 (a) Per$100 of Assessed Valuation. (b) Such percentages reflect cumulative total collections for each year from the time each respective annual tax was Ievied through July 31,2009. The amount of tax collected for each levy on a current basis(by September 30 of the year following each respective annual levy)is not reflected in this statement. (c) As of July 31,2009. In process of collection. (d) Such sum includes certain values which have not been certified by the Appraisal Review Board,including the value of certain properties which has been proposed by the Appraisal District but protested by the owners thereof to the Appraisal District. The Appraisal District's estimate of the total taxable value of such properties under protest which will be assigned to such properties if the owners' claims are upheld by the Appraisal Review Board is $14,908,352,which total is included in the amount of$257,548,430. The Appraisal District has proposed the valuation of such protested properties to be$16,564,835. The District is unable to predict the amount of the District's final 2009 Assessed Valuation. Such final 2009 Assessed Valuation will not be determined until the valuation of all taxable property located within the District is certified by the Appraisal Review Board for 2009. (e) Levied September 3,2009. 37 Tax Rate Calculations The tax rate calculations set forth below are presented to indicate the tax rates per$100 of Assessed Valuation which would be required to meet certain debt service requirements if no growth in the District occurs beyond the 2009 Assessed Valuation. The calculations also assume collection of 95%of taxes levied,no use of other legally available District funds on hand,and the sale of no additional bonds by the District. As outlined above under the caption"Historical Values and Tax Collection History,"the District has collected an average total annual percentage of its property taxes of 99.98%for the period 1996 through 2007,while 2008 taxes were 99.45%collected as of July 31,2009. Average Annual Debt Service Requirements(2009-2020) $1,659,404 Tax Rate of$0.68 on the 2009 Assessed Valuation($260,476,480)produces $1,682,678 Tax Rate of$0.68 on the 2009 Assessed Valuation($257,548,430)produces $1,662,762 Maximum Debt Service Requirement(2020) $1,730,955 Tax Rate of$0.70 on the 2009 Assessed Valuation($260,476,480)produces $1,732,169 Tax Rate of$0.71 on the 2009 Assessed Valuation($257,548,430)produces $1,737,164 The District has levied a debt service tax in 2009 of$0.56 per$100 of Assessed Valuation,plus a maintenance tax of $0.07 per$100 of Assessed Valuation. As the above table indicates,the 2009 debt service tax rate will not be sufficient • to pay the average annual debt service requirements on the Bonds and the Remaining Outstanding Bonds assuming the District's tax base at the level of 2009 Assessed Valuation,and assuming no use of other legally available District fimds, a 95%tax collection rate and the issuance of no bonds by the District in addition to the Remaining Outstanding Bonds and the Bonds.The District's Bond Fund balance is estimated to be$2,299,033 upon delivery of the Bonds. Although neither Texas law nor the Bond Order requires that any specific amount be retained in the Bond Fund at any time,the District has in the past applied earnings from the investment of monies held in the Bond Fund to meet the debt service requirements of the Remaining Outstanding Bonds (see"APPENDIX B -ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT"). In addition,the Districtbad,at July 31,2009,total annual tax collections averaging 99.97%for the years 1998 through 2007, and had collected 99.45%of its 2008 tax levy,which was in the process of collection,as of that date. Therefore,the District anticipates being able to pay the Average Annual and Maximum Annual Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds and the Remaining Outstanding Bonds without increasing its debt service levy above the level of the 2009 debt service levy of $0.56 per $100 of Assessed Valuation.

The Appraisal District has proposed the valuation of such protested properties to be$16,564,835. The District is unable to predict the amount of the District 's final 2009 Assessed Valuation. Such final 2009 Assessed Valuation will not be determined until the valuation of all taxable property located within the District is certified by the Appraisal Review Board for 2009.

Set forth below is a compilation of all 2008 taxes levied upon property located within the District and the 2009 tax rate of the District. Under Texas law, ad valorem taxes levied by each taxing authority other than the District entitled to levy taxes against property located within the District create a lien which is on a parity with the tax lien of the District. In addition to the ad valorem taxes required to make the debt service payments on bonded debt of the District and of such other jurisdictions(see"DISTRICT DEBT-Estimated Direct and Overlapping Debt Statement"),certain taxing jurisdictions are authorized by Texas law to assess, levy and collect ad valorem taxes for operation, maintenance, administrative and/or general revenue purposes. 2008 Tax Rate Per$100 of Taxing Jurisdictions Assessed Valuation The District $0.630000* Brazoria County 0.390000 Pearland Independent School District 1.419400 Brazoria County Drainage District No,4 0.143845 Estimated Total Tax Rate $2.583245 * The District has levied a tax of$0.63 per$100 of Assessed Valuation for 2009, consisting of debt service and maintenance tax components of$0.56 and$0.07 per$100 of Assessed Valuation, respectively. THE DISTRICT Authority The District is a municipal utility district created pursuant to an order of the Texas Water Commission(the"TWC"), now the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality(the "TCEQ"),dated July 16, 1981, and is authorized under Article XVI, Section 59 of the Texas Constitution. The creation of the District was confirmed at an election held within the District on May 12, 1995,by a vote of 4"For"to 0"Against." The rights,powers,privileges,authority, and functions of the District are established by the general laws of the State of Texas pertaining to municipal utility districts,particularly Chapters 49 and 54,Texas Water Code,as amended. In addition, the District is subject to the continuing supervision of the TCEQ. The principal functions of the District are to finance, construct, own, and operate waterworks, wastewater, and drainage facilities and to provide such facilities and services to the customers of the District. The District,if approved by the voters within the District,the TCEQ,and other governmental entities having jurisdiction,may establish,operate,and maintain a fire department, independently or with one or more other conservation and reclamation districts,and provide such facilities and services to the customers of the District. Under certain circumstances the District also is authorized to construct,develop and maintain park and recreational facilities and to construct roads. See "DEVELOPMENT AND HOME CONSTRUCTION." The District is subject to the continuing supervision of the TCEQ in certain matters. Description The District contains approximately 476.6245 acres of land. The District is located approximately 5 miles west of the City of Pearland,Texas,within whose extraterritorial jurisdiction the District lies. As a result of the annexation by the District in 1998 of approximately 102.89 acres of land,and the annexation by the District in 2000 of approximately 69.39 acres of land,a portion of the District may also lie within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Manvel. The City of Pearland,but not the City of Manvel,may annex the entirety of the District. The District and the City of Pearland are currently negotiating a strategic partnership agreement("SPA"),one element of which would result in the dissolution of the District by the City on or within 90 days after an annexation conversion date of December 31,2010. Upon such 40 dissolution,the City will assume the assets,functions and obligations of the District,including the Bonds,the Remaining Outstanding Bonds,and any other bonded indebtedness of the District existing at the time of annexation.Until such time as the SPA is executed by the District and the City,the District cannot represent any specific element of such SPA,or that it will become effective at all.

Operation of the System is subject to regulation by,among others,the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the TCEQ. In many cases,regulations promulgated by these agencies have become effective only recently and are subject to further development and revision. According to the District's Engineer, the total number of equivalent residential connections projected for the District at the full development ofits approximate 476.6245 acres is 1,412 with a total estimated population of 5,200. A description of portions of the System follows,and is based upon information supplied by the District's Engineer. Description As described above under the caption"DEVELOPMENT AND HOME CONSTRUCTION,"the District financed the acquisition or construction of water supply and distribution,wastewater collection and treatment,and storm drainage facilities to serve 1,411 fully developed single-family residential lots located in the District,consisting of the entirety of the land located within the District that is available for development,with the proceeds of the sale of the Outstanding Bonds. ' I -Storm Drainage- Storm water drainage for the District is accomplishedby a joint drainage improvement and storm sewer system financed with proceeds of the sale of the Outstanding Bonds. Such improvements,which also serve M.U.D.Nos. 1,2 and 6, include the excavation of detention ponds and linear detention channels,as well as the construction ofnumerous control structures in the four branches of the system. The South Branch contains approximately 487 acre-feet of detention including four control structures. The Central Branch contains approximately 199 acre-feet of detention including three control structures and four drop structures. The North Branch contains approximately 273 acre-feet of detention, including one control structure. The Main Branch contains approximately406acre-feet of detention,including one drop structure and a control weir. -Water Supply- The District has entered into a Restated Permanent Water Supply Contract(the"Agreement")dated September I,1999, and First Amendment to the Restated Contract dated December 3,2001,with the adjoining M.U.D.No. 1,M.U.D.No. 2,and M.U.D.No.6,which provides,among other things,for the joint ownership ofthree water supply plants and wells. Water Plant No. 1 consists of a 1,000 gallons-per-minute("gpm")water well with auxiliary power,a 500,000 gallon ground storage tank,two(2)15,000 gallon hydropneumatic tanks,a total of 2,750 gpm of booster pump capacity,a 450 g.p.m.remote well and related appurtenances.The District owns a 5%pro rata share of Water Plant No.I financed with a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Outstanding Bonds.

Such transcript will include a certified copy ofthe approving opinion of the Attorney General of Texas,as recorded in the Bond Register of the Comptroller ofPublic Accounts of the State of Texas,to the effect that the Bonds are valid and binding obligations of the District. The District also will furnish the approving legal opinion of Paul A.Philbin&Assoc.,P.C.,Houston,Texas,Bond Counsel("Bond Counsel"),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. The Iegal opinion of Bond Counsel will further state that the Bonds,including principal of and interest thereon,are payable from ad valoremtaxes,without legal limit as to rate or amount,upon all taxable property Iocated within the District,and are further payable from and secured by a pledge of and lien on the Net Revenues,if any, of the System. The District will also furnish the approving legal opinion of McCall,Parkhurst&Horton L.L.P,Dallas, Texas,Special Tax Counsel to the District("Special Tax Counsel"),to the effect that interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes under existing statues,regulations,published rulings and court decisions as described under the caption which follows entitled"TAX MATTERS." The opinions of Bond Counsel and Special Tax Counsel will be printed on the Bonds. Based upon the matters stated in such opinion, • Bond Counsel's opinion will also state that,as a result of the deposit of the Escrowed Obligations pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, firm banking and financial arrangements will have been made for the payment of the Refunded Bonds pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and that,therefore,such Refunded Bonds will be deemed to be fully paid and no longer outstanding except for the purpose of being paid from the funds provided therefor in such Escrow Agreement. In its capacity as Bond Counsel,Paul A.Philbin&Assoc.,P.C.has reviewed the information appearing in this Official Statement under the captions "THE BONDS," "PLAN OF FINANCING - Escrow Agreement," "TAXING PROCEDURES," "TIM DISTRICT-Authority," and- "Management of the District-Legal Counsel," "LEGAL MATTERS" (except the information therein relating to the opinion of Special Tax Counsel and the information appearing under the caption"No Arbitrage"),and"CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION,"to determine whether such information fairly summarizes the procedures,law and documents referred to therein. In its capacity as Special Tax Counsel, McCall, Parkhurst&Horton L.L.P., has reviewed the information appearing in this Official Statement under the captions "THE DISTRICT - Management of the District - Special Tax Counsel," "LEGAL MATTERS-Legal Opinions"(but only insofar as such caption relates to the opinion of Special Tax Counsel)and"TAX MATTERS"to determine whether such information fairly summarizes the procedures,law and documents referred to therein. Bond Counsel and Special Tax Counsel have not,however,independently verified any of the other factual information contained in this Official Statement nor have they conducted an investigation of the affairs of the District for the purpose of passing upon the accuracy or completeness of this Official Statement. No person is entitled to rely upon such parties'limited participation as an assumption of responsibility for,or an expression of opinion of any kind with regard to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information contained herein. The legal fees to be paid Bond Counsel and Special Tax Counsel for services rendered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds are based on a percentage of the Bonds actually issued, sold and delivered and,therefore, such fees are contingent on the sale and delivery of the Bonds. Bond Counsel acts as general counsel for the District on matters other than the issuance ofbonds. Certain Iegal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriters by McCall,Parkhurst&Horton L.L.P.,Dallas,Texas, as Underwriters'Counsel. No Arbitrage The District will certify on the date the Bonds are delivered and paid for that based upon all facts and estimates now known or reasonably expected to be in existence,the District reasonably expects that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds,or any portion of the Bonds,to be"arbitrage bonds"under Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended(the"Code"), and the regulations prescribed from time to time thereunder. Furthermore,all officers,employees and agents of the District have been authorized and directed to provide certifications of facts and estimates that are material to the reasonable expectations of the District as of the date the Bonds are delivered and paid for. In particular,all or any officers of the District have been authorized to certify to the facts, 47 circumstances and reasonable expectations of the District onthe date the Bonds are delivered and paid for regarding the amount and use of the proceeds of the Bonds. Moreover,the District will covenant in the Bond Order that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Bonds,regulate investments of proceeds of the Bonds and take such other and further actions and follow such procedures, including without limitation, calculation of the yield on the Bonds, as may be required so that the Bonds will not become"arbitrage bonds"under the Code and the regulations prescribed from time to time thereunder. No-Litigation Certificate The District will furnish to the Underwriters a certificate,dated as of the date of delivery of the Bonds,executed by both the President and Secretary of the Board,to the effect that no Iitigation of any nature has been filed or is then pending or threatened,either in state or federal courts,contesting or attacking the Bonds;restraining or enjoining the issuance, execution or delivery of the Bonds;affecting the provisions made for the payment of or security for the Bonds;in any manner questioning the authority or proceedings for the issuance,execution,or delivery of the Bonds;or affecting the validity of the Bonds. No Material Adverse Change The obligations of the Underwriters to take and pay for the Bonds,and of the District to deliver the Bonds,are subject to the condition that,up to the time of delivery of and receipt ofpayment for the Bonds,there shall have been no material adverse change in the condition(financial or otherwise)of the District from that set forth or contemplated in the Official Statement,as it may have been supplemented or amended,through the date of sale. TAX MATTERS Opinion On the date of initial delivery of the Bonds,McCall,Parkhurst&Horton L.L.P.,Dallas,Texas,Special Tax Counsel, will render its opinion that,in accordance with statutes,regulations,published rulings and court decisions existing on the date thereof("Existing Law")interest on the Bonds(1)will be excludable from the gross income, as defined in section 61 of the Code, of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes; and(2) will not be included in the alternative minimum taxable income of individuals under section 57(a)(5)of the Code or,except as described below, corporations.Except as stated above,Special Tax Counsel will express no opinion as to any other federal,state or local tax consequences of the purchase,ownership or disposition of the Bonds. In rendering its opinion,Special Tax Counsel will rely upon(a)the opinion of Paul A.Philbin&Assoc.,P.C.,Bond Counsel,that the Bonds are valid and binding obligations of the District payable from the proceeds of a generally- applicable ad valorem tax,(b)the District's federal tax certificate and the verification report prepared by BKD,LLP, Certified Public Accountants and(c)covenants of the District with respect to arbitrage,the application of the proceeds to be received from the issuance and sale of the Bonds and certain other matter. Failure by the District to observe the aforementioned representations or covenants,could cause the interest on the Bonds to become taxable retroactively to the date of issuance. The Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder contain a number of requirements that mustbe satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order for interest on the Bonds to be,and to remain,excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.Failure to comply with such requirements may cause interest on the Bonds to be included in grass income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds.The opinion of Special Tax Counsel is conditioned on compliance by the District with such requirements, and Special Tax Counsel has not been retained to monitor compliance with these requirements subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds. Special Tax Counsel's opinion represents its legal judgement based upon its review of Existing Law and the reliance on the aforementioned information,representations and covenants.Special Tax Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a result.Existing Law is subject to change by the Congress and to subsequent judicial and administrative interpretation 48 by the courts and the Department of the Treasury. There can be no assurance that Existing Law or the interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner which would adversely affect the tax treatment of the purchase,ownership or disposition of the Bonds. A ruling was not sought from the Internal Revenue Service by the Issuer with respect to the Bonds or the property financed or refinanced with proceeds of the Bonds.No assurances can be given as to whether or not the Internal Revenue Service will commence an audit of the Bonds,or as to whether the Internal Revenue Service would agree with the opinion of Special Tax Counsel. If an audit is commenced,under current procedures the Internal Revenue Service is likely to treat the District as the taxpayer and the Bondholders may have no right to participate in such procedure. No additional interest will be paid upon any determination of taxability. Federal Income Tax Accounting Treatment of Original Issue Discount The initial public offering price to be paid for the Bonds,as stated on the cover of the Official Statement,may be less than the principal amount thereof(the"Original Issue Discount Bonds"). As such,the difference between(i)the amount payable at the maturity of each Original Issue Discount Bond, and(ii)the initial offering price to the public of such Original Issue Discount Bond constitutes original issue discount with respect to such Original Issue Discount Bond in the hands of any owner who has purchased such Original Issue Discount Bond in the initial public offering of the Bonds. Under Existing Law,such an owner is entitled to exclude from gross income(as defined in section 61 of the Code)an amount of income with respect to such Original Issue DiscountBond equal to that portion of the amount of such original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Original Issue DiscountBond continues to be ownedby such owner. For a discussion of certain collateral federal tax consequences,see discussion set forth below. In the event of the redemption,sale or other taxable disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bond prior to stated maturity,however,the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such Original Issue Discount Bond in the hands of such owner(adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Original Issue Discount Bond was held by such initial owner)is includable in grass income. Under Existing Law,the original issue discount on each Original Issue Discount Bond is accrued daily to the stated maturity thereof(in amounts calculated as described below for each six-month period ending on the date before the semiannual anniversary dates of the date of the Bonds and ratably within each such six-month period)and the accrued amount is added to an initial owner's basis for such Original Issue Discount Bond for purposes of determining the amount of gain or loss recognized by such owner upon the redemption,sale or other disposition thereof. The amount to be added to basis for each accrual period is equal to(a)the sum of the issue price and the amount of original issue discount accrued in prior periods multiplied by the yield to stated maturity(determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period)less(b)the amounts payable as current interest during such accrual period on such Original Issue Discount Bond. The federal income tax consequences of the purchase,ownership,redemption,sale or other disposition of Original Issue Discount Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price maybe determined according to rules which differ from those described above. All owners of Original Issue Discount Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the determination for federal,state and local income tax purposes of the treatment of interest accrued up on redemption,sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds and with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds. Collateral Federal Income Tax Consequences The following discussion is a summary of c ertain collateral federal income tax consequences resulting from the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds, This discussion is based on existing statutes,regulations,published rulings and court decisions,all of which are subject to change or modification,retroactively. 49 The following discussion is applicable to investors,other than those who are subject to special provisions of the Code, such asfmancial institutions,property and casualty insurance companies,life insurance companies,individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits,individuals allowed an earned income credit,certain S corporations with accumulated earnings and profits and excess passive investment income,foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax, taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase tax-exempt obligations. THE DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN MAY NOT BE EXHAUSTIVE. INVESTORS,INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE CODE, SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX TREATMENT WHICH MAY BE ANTICIPATED TO RESULT FROM THE PURCHASE,OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS BEFORE DETERMINING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE BONDS. Interest on the Bonds will be includable as an adjustment for"adjusted current earnings"to calculate the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. Section 55 of the Code imposes a tax equal to 20 percent for corporations,or26 percent for noncorporate taxpayers(28 percent for taxable income exceeding$175,000), of the taxpayer's"alternative minimum taxable income,"if the amount of such alternative minimum tax is greater than the taxpayer's regular income tax for the taxable year. Under section 6012 of the Code,holders of tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds,may be required to disclose interest received or accrued during each taxable year on their returns of federal income taxation. Section 1276 of the Code provides for ordinary income tax treatment of gain recognized upon the disposition of a tax- exempt obligation,such as the Bonds,if such obligation was acquired at a"market discount"and if the fixed maturity of such obligation is equal to,or exceeds,one year from the date of issue. Such treatment applies to"market discount bands"to the extent such gain does not exceed the accrued market discount of such bonds;although for this purpose, a tie minimis amount of market discount is ignored. A"market discount bond"is one which is acquired by the holder at a purchase price which is less than the stated redemption price at maturity or,in the case of a bond issued at an original issue discount,the"revised issue price"(i.e.,the issue price plus accrued original issue discount). The"accrued market discount"is the amount which bears the same ratio to the market discount as the number of days during which the holder holds the obligation bears to the number of days between the acquisition date and the final maturity date. State,Local and Foreign Taxes Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax implications of the purchase,ownership or disposition of the Bonds under applicable state or local laws. Foreign investors should also consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences unique to investors who are not United States persons. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations for Financial Institutions Section 265(a)of the Code provides,in pertinent part,that interestpaid or incurred by a taxpayer,including a"financial institution,"on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations is not deductible by such taxpayer in determining taxable income. Section 265(b)of the Code provides an exception to the disallowance of such deduction for any interest expense paid or incurred on indebtedness of a taxpayer which is a "financial institution" allocable to tax-exempt obligations,other than"specified private activity bonds,"which are designated by a"qualified small issuer"as"qualified tax-exempt obligations." A"qualified small issuer"is any governmental issuer(together with any subordinate issuers)who issues no more than$10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations during the calendar year. Section 265(b)(5)of the Code defines the term"financial institution"as referring to any corporation described in section 585(a)(2)of the Code,or any person accepting deposits from the public in the ordinary course of such person's trade or business which is subject to federal or state supervision as a financial institution. 50 The District expects to designate the Bonds as"qualified tax-exempt obligations"within the meaning of section 265(b) of the Code. In furtherance of that designation,the District will covenant to take such action which would assure,or to refrain from such action which would adversely affect,the treatment of the Bonds as"qualified tax-exempt obligations." Potential purchasers should be aware that if the issue price to the public exceeds $10,000,000, there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the payment of a de niinimis amount of premium in excess of S10,000,000 is disregarded, however,the Internal Revenue Service could take a contrary view.Were the Internal Revenue Service to conclude that the amount of such premium is not disregarded,then such obligations might fail to satisfy the$10,000,000 limitation and the obligations would not be"qualified tax-exempt obligations." VERIFICATION OF ACCURACY OF MATHEMATICAL COMPUTATION The arithmetical computations of the adequacy of the amounts deposited with the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds and certain available funds(if any)to pay,when due,the principal or redemption price of and interest on the Refunded Bonds, was verified by Grant Thornton LLP, Certified Public Accountants. The computations were independently verified by Grant Thornton LLP based upon assumptions and information supplied on behalf of the District.
