for any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit of this Resolution unless and
until there appears thereon the Paying Agent/Registrar's Authentication Certificate

the Authority, and has been registered by the Comptroller.
(d) On the Issuance Date, the Initial Series 2009 Bond, being a single bond
representing the entire principal amount of the Series 2009 Bonds, payable in stated
installments to the Underwriter or their designee, executed by manual or facsimile
signature of the Chair or Vice Chair and Secretary or Director of the Board, approved by

such Owner as shown on the Register, or by such other method, acceptable to the
Paying Agent/Registrar, requested by and at the risk and expense of the Owner.
If the date for the payment of principal or interest on any Series 2009 Bond is not

original date such payment was due.
Section 3.6: Successor Paying Agent/ Registrars. The Authority covenants
that at all times while any Series 2009 Bonds are Outstanding it will provide a
commercial bank, or trust company or other entity duly qualified and legally
authorized to act as Paying Agent/Registrar for the Series 2009 Bonds. The Authority
reserves the right to change the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Series 2009 Bonds on
not less than sixty (60) days written notice to the Paying Agent/Registrar, so long as
any such notice is effective not less than sixty (60) days prior to the next succeeding
principal or interest payment date on the Series 2009 Bonds. Promptly upon the

Agent/Registrar shall deliver the Register or a copy thereof to the new Paying
Agent/Registrar, and the new Paying Agent/Registrar shall notify each Owner, by

new Paying Agent/Registrar. Each Paying Agent/Registrar hereunder, by acting in
that capacity, shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this Section.
Section 3.7: Special Record Date. If interest on any Series 2009 Bond is not
paid on any Interest Payment Date and continues unpaid for thirty (30) days thereafter,
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall establish a new record date for the payment of such
interest, to be known as a "Special Record Date." The Paying Agent/Registrar shall
establish a Special Record Date when funds to make such interest payment are received
from or on behalf of the Authority. Such Special Record Date shall be fifteen (15) days
prior to the date fixed for payment of such past due interest, and notice of the date of
payment and the Special Record Date shall be sent by United States mail, first class,
postage prepaid, not later than five (5) days prior to the Special Record Date, to each
Owner of record of an affected Series 2009 Bond as of the close of business on the day

further provisions of this Section, the Authority, the Paying Agent/Registrar and any
other person may treat the person in whose name any Series 2009 Bond is registered as
the absolute Owner of such Series 2009 Bond for the purpose of making and receiving
payment of the principal of or interest on such Series 2009 Bond, and for all other
236630
purposes, whether or not such Series 2009 Bond is overdue, and neither the Authority
nor the Paying Agent/ Registrar shall be bound by any notice or knowledge to the
contrary. All payments made to the person deemed to be the Owner of any Series 2009
Bond in accordance with this Section 3.8 shall be valid and effectual and shall discharge
the liability of the Authority and the Paying Agent/ Registrar upon such Series 2009
Bond to the extent of the sums paid.
Amounts held by the Paying Agent/Registrar which represent principal of and
interest on the Series 2009 Bonds remaining unclaimed by the Owner after the
expiration of three (3) years from the date such amounts have become due and payable
shall be remitted to the Authority, except to the extent that they are required by law to

applicable provisions of Texas law including, to the extent applicable, Title 6 of the
Texas Property Code, as amended.
Section 3.9: Book -Entry OnlyS, sue. (a) The Initial Series 2009 Bond shall

(b) With respect to Series 2009 Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, the Authority and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no
responsibility or obligation to any DTC Participant or to any person on behalf of whom
such DTC Participant holds an interest in the Series 2009 Bonds, except as provided in
this Resolution. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Authority
and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect
to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC Participant with
respect to any ownership interest in the Series 2009 Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC
Participant or any other person, other than an Owner, as shown on the Register, of any

the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than an Owner, as
shown on the Register, of any amount with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on the Series 2009 Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Resolution to the contrary, the Authority and the Paying Agent/ Registrar shall be
entitled to treat and consider the person in whose name each Series 2009 Bond is
registered in the Register as the absolute Owner of such Series 2009 Bond for the
purpose of payment of principal of and interest on the Series 2009 Bonds, for the
purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Series
2009 Bond, for the purpose of registering transfer with respect to such Series 2009 Bond,
and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall pay all
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2009 Bonds only to or upon the
order of the respective Owners, as shown in the Register as provided in this Resolution,
or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be
valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Authority's obligations with
236630

respect to payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2009 Bonds
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than an Owner, as shown in
the Register, shall receive a Series 2009 Bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the
Authority to make payments of amounts due pursuant to this Resolution. Upon
delivery by DTC to the Paying Agent/Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC
has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the
provisions of this Resolution with respect to interest checks being mailed to the Owner
of record as of the Record Date, the phrase "Cede & Co." in this Resolution shall refer to
such new nominee of DTC.
Section 3.10: Successor Securities Depository; Transfer Outside Book -Entry

17(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, notify DTC and DTC
Participants, as identified by DTC, of the appointment of such successor securities
depository and transfer one or more separate Series 2009 Bonds to such successor
securities depository or (ii) notify DTC and DTC Participants, as identified by DTC, of
the availability through DTC of Series 2009 Bonds and transfer one or more separate
Series 2009 Bonds to DTC Participants having Series 2009 Bonds credited to their DTC
accounts, as identified by DTC. In such event, the Series 2009 Bonds shall no longer be
restricted to being registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of
DTC, but may be registered in the name of the successor securities depository, or its
nominee, or in whatever name or names Owners transferring or exchanging Series 2009
Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution.
Section 3.11: Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Resolution to the contrary, so long as any Series 2009 Bonds are registered in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on such Series 2009 Bonds, and all notices with respect to
such Series 2009 Bonds, shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided
in the Blanket Letter of Representations.
Section 3.12: Registration, Transfer, and Exchange. So long as any Series
2009 Bonds remain Outstanding, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall keep the Register at
its designated office and, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall provide for the registration and transfer of Series 2009
Bonds in accordance with the terms of this Resolution.
Each Series 2009 Bond shall be transferable only upon the presentation and
surrender thereof at the designated office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, duly endorsed
for transfer, or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the Registered Owner
or his authorized representative in form satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar.
236630

Upon due presentation of any Series 2009 Bond in proper form for transfer, the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Series 2009
Bond or Series 2009 Bonds, registered in the name of the transferee or transferees, in
authorized denominations and of the same maturity, aggregate principal amount, and
Dated Date, and bearing interest at the same rate as the Series 2009 Bond or Series 2009
Bonds so presented.
All Series 2009 Bonds shall be exchangeable upon presentation and surrender
thereof at the designated office of the Paying Agent/Registrar for a Series 2009 Bond or
Series 2009 Bonds of the same maturity, Dated Date, and interest rate and in any
authorized denomination, in an aggregate amount equal to the unpaid principal
amount of the Series 2009 Bond or Series 2009 Bonds presented for exchange. The
Paying Agent/Registrar shall be and is hereby authorized to authenticate and deliver
exchange Series 2009 Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.12. Each
Series 2009 Bond delivered in accordance with this Section 3.12 shall be entitled to the
benefits and security of this Resolution to the same extent as the Series 2009 Bond or
Series 2009 Bonds in lieu of which such Series 2009 Bond is delivered.
The Authority or the Paying Agent/Registrar may require the Owner of any
Series 2009 Bond to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of such Series 2009
Bond. Any fee or charge of the Paying Agent/Registrar for such transfer or exchange
shall be paid by the Authority.
The Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any
Series 2009 Bond during the period beginning on a Record Date or a Special Record
Date and ending on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or to transfer or
exchange any Series 2009 Bond called for redemption during the period beginning
thirty days prior to the date fixed for redemption and ending on the date fixed for
redemption; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to the exchange by
the Owner of the unredeemed portion of a Series 2009 Bond called for redemption in
part.
Section 3.13: Cancellation of Series 2009 Bonds. All Series 2009 Bonds paid or
redeemed in accordance with this Resolution, and all Series 2009 Bonds in lieu of which
exchange Series 2009 Bonds or replacement Series 2009 Bonds are authenticated and
delivered in accordance herewith, shall be cancelled upon the making of proper records
regarding such payment or redemption and retained in accordance with the Paying
Agent/Registrar's document retention policy. Upon request of the Authority therefore,
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall furnish the Authority with appropriate certificates of
cancellation of such Series 2009 Bonds.
Section 3.14: Mutilated, Lost, or Stolen Series 2009 Bonds. Upon the
presentation and surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar of a mutilated Series 2009
236630
9
Bond, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
replacement Series 2009 Bond of like maturity, Dated Date, interest rate and principal
amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. The Authority or the
Paying Agent/Registrar may require the Owner of such Series 2009 Bond to pay a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith and any other expenses connected therewith, including the fees
and expenses of the Paying Agent/ Registrar.
If any Series 2009 Bond is lost, apparently destroyed, or wrongfully taken, the
Authority, pursuant to the applicable laws of the State of Texas and in the absence of
notice or knowledge that such Series 2009 Bond has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, shall execute and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver
a replacement Series 2009 Bond of like maturity, Dated Date, interest rate and principal
amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding, provided that the
Owner thereof shall have:
(1) furnished to the Authority and the Paying Agent/Registrar satisfactory
evidence of the ownership of and the circumstances of the loss,
destruction or theft of such Series 2009 Bond;
(2) furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by the Paying
Agent/ Registrar and the Authority to save them harmless;
(3) paid all expenses and charges in connection therewith, including, but not
limited to, printing costs, legal fees, fees of the Paying Agent/Registrar
and any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed; and
(4) met any other reasonable requirements of the Authority and the Paying
Agent/ Registrar.
If, after the delivery of such replacement Series 2009 Bond, a bona fide purchaser of the
original Series 2009 Bond in lieu of which such replacement Series 2009 Bond was
issued presents for payment such original Series 2009 Bond, the Authority and the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall be entitled to recover such replacement Series 2009 Bond
from the person to whom it was delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a
bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity
provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the
Authority or the Paying Agent/ Registrar in connection therewith.
If any such mutilated, lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken Series 2009
Bond has become or is about to become due and payable, the Authority in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a replacement Series 2009 Bond, authorize the Paying
Agent/ Registrar to pay such Series 2009 Bond.
236630
10
Each replacement Series 2009 Bond delivered in accordance with this Section 3.14
shall be entitled to the benefits and security of this Resolution to the same extent as the
Series 2009 Bond or Series 2009 Bonds in lieu of which such replacement Series 2009
Bond is delivered.
Section 3.15: Redemption. The Series 2009 Bonds are subject to optional and
mandatory sinking fund redemption on the dates and for the redemption prices set
forth in the form of the Series 2009 Bond in this Resolution.
Principal amounts may be redeemed only in integral multiples of $5,000. If a
Series 2009 Bond subject to redemption is in a denomination larger than $5,000, a
portion of such Series 2009 Bond may be redeemed, but only in integral multiples of
$5,000. In selecting portions of Series 2009 Bonds for redemption, the Paying Agent/
Registrar shall treat each Series 2009 Bond as representing that number of Series 2009
Bonds of $5,000 denomination which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of
such Series 2009 Bond by $5,000. The Paying Agent/ Registrar shall select the particular
Series 2009 Bonds to be redeemed within any given maturity by lot or other random
selection method. Upon surrender of any Series 2009 Bond for redemption in part, the
Paying Agent/Registrar, in accordance with this Resolution, shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a Series 2009 Bond or Series 2009 Bonds of like maturity
and interest rate in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of
the Series 2009 Bond so surrendered.
Unless waived by the Owner, notice of any redemption identifying the Series
2009 Bonds to be redeemed shall be given as provided in the form of Series 2009 Bond
in this Resolution. Any notice given as provided in this Section 3.15 shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Owner receives
such notice. By the date fixed for redemption, due provision shall be made with the
Paying Agent/Registrar for payment of the redemption price of the Series 2009 Bonds
or portions thereof to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption. When Series 2009 Bonds have been called for redemption in whole or in
part and due provision has been made to redeem the same as herein provided, the
Series 2009 Bonds or portions thereof so redeemed shall no longer be regarded as
Outstanding except for the purpose of receiving payment solely from the funds so
provided for redemption, and the rights of the Owners to collect interest which would
otherwise accrue after the redemption date on any Series 2009 Bond or portion thereof
called for redemption shall terminate on the date fixed for redemption.
Section 3.16: Limited Obligations. THE SERIES 2009 BONDS AND ALL

the Act and all other applicable laws, and a resolution adopted by the Authority on

heretofore or hereafter issued under the Indenture described below, payable from, and
are equally and ratably secured by a lien on the Pledged Revenues, which include the

Parity Bonds, together with the interest thereon, are payable solely from such Pledged
Revenues.
THE AUTHORITY RESERVES THE RIGHT to redeem Series 2009 Bonds
maturing on or after September 1, 2019, in whole or in part from time to time, in integral
multiples of $5,000, on September 1, 2018, or any date thereafter at par plus accrued
interest on the principal amounts called for redemption to the date fixed for
redemption. Reference is made to the Resolution for complete details concerning the
manner of redeeming the Series 2009 Bonds.
IN ADDITION TO BEING SUBJECT TO OPTIONAL REDEMPTION, THE
BONDS ISSUED AS TERM BONDS maturing on September 1, (collectively, the
"Term Bonds") are subject to mandatory redemption prior to maturity in the following
amounts (subject to reduction as hereinafter provided), on the following dates
("Mandatory Redemption Dates"), at a price equal to the principal amount redeemed
plus accrued interest to each Mandatory Redemption Date, subject to the conditions set
forth below:
TERM BOND
Mandatory Redemption Principal Amount
ON OR BEFORE 30 days prior to each Mandatory Redemption Date set forth

must be mandatorily redeemed on such Mandatory Redemption Date, after taking into
account deliveries for cancellation and optional redemptions as more fully provided for
below, (ii) select, by lot or other customary random method, the Term Bond or portions
of the Term Bond of such maturity to be mandatorily redeemed on such Mandatory
Redemption Date, and (iii) give notice of such redemption as provided in the Bond
Resolution. The principal amount of any Term Bond to be mandatorily redeemed on
such Mandatory Redemption Date shall be reduced by the principal amount of such
Term Bond which, by the 45th day prior to such Mandatory Redemption Date, either
has been purchased in the open market and delivered or tendered for cancellation by or
on behalf of the Authority to the Paying Agent/Registrar or optionally redeemed and
236630
14
which, in either case, has not previously been made the basis for a reduction under this
sentence.
UNLESS WAIVED BY THE OWNER, NOTICE OF ANY REDEMPTION shall be
given at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption by first class mail,
addressed to the Registered Owners of each Series 2009 Bond to be redeemed in whole
or in part at the address shown on the books of registration kept by the Paying
Agent/Registrar. Such notices shall state the redemption date, the redemption price,
the place at which Series 2009 Bonds are to be surrendered for payment and, if less than
all Series 2009 Bonds Outstanding of a particular maturity are to be redeemed, the
numbers of the Series 2009 Bonds or portions thereof of such maturity to be redeemed.
When Series 2009 Bonds or portions thereof have been called for redemption, and due
provision has been made to redeem the same, the principal amounts so redeemed shall
be payable solely from the funds provided for redemption, and interest which would
otherwise accrue on the amounts called for redemption shall terminate on the date fixed
for redemption.
THIS SERIES 2009 BOND IS TRANSFERABLE only upon presentation and
surrender at the designated office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, duly endorsed for
transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the Registered Owner or
his authorized representative, subject to the terms and conditions of the Resolution.

required to transfer or exchange any Series 2009 Bond during the period beginning on

ending on such interest payment date or to transfer any Series 2009 Bond called for
redemption during the 30 day period prior to the redemption date.

entitled to any benefit under the Resolution unless this Series 2009 Bond is either (i)
registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas by registration
certificate attached or affixed hereto or (ii) authenticated by the Paying Agent/Registrar
by due execution of the authentication certificate endorsed hereon.
THE AUTHORITY HAS RESERVED THE RIGHT to issue Additional Parity

ARTICLE VI
COVENANTS AND PROVISIONS
RELATING TO ALL PARITY BONDS
Reference is made to Article V of the Indenture. All covenants made by the

ARTICLE VII
PROVISIONS CONCERNING SALE AND
APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SERIES 2009 BONDS
Section 7.1: Sale. The Series 2009 Bonds are hereby sold and shall be
delivered to the Underwriter at a price of $ (representing the par amount
of the Series 2009 Bonds, less an Underwriter's discount of $ , less an
236630
19
original issue discount of $ plus an original issue premium of
$ ) and plus accrued interest thereon to the date of delivery all in accordance
with the Bond Purchase Agreement dated as of May 18, 2009, which has been presented
to and is hereby approved by the Authority, subject to the approval of the Attorney
General of Texas and Co -Bond Counsel, and such price and terms are hereby found and
determined to be the most advantageous reasonably obtainable by the Authority. The
Chair and other appropriate officers, agents and representatives of the Authority are
hereby authorized to do any and all things necessary or desirable to provide for the
issuance and delivery of the Series 2009 Bonds.
Section 7.2: Application of Proceeds. Proceeds from the sale of the Series
2009 Bonds shall, promptly upon receipt by the Trustee, be applied as follows:
(a) $ to the Debt Service Fund to satisfy the Reserve
Requirement of the Series 2009 Bonds.
(b) The Debt Service Fund shall be credited with the amount of accrued
interest on the Series 2009 Bonds.
(c) All remaining proceeds from the sale of the Series 2009 Bonds shall be

Fund may be used to pay or reimburse the Authority for Project Costs
including Costs of Issuance.
ARTICLE VIII
TAX EXEMPTION
Section 8.1: Tax Covenants. The Authority intends that the interest on the
Bonds shall be excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income
tax purposes pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and all applicable temporary, proposed and
final regulations (the "Regulations") and procedures promulgated thereunder and
applicable to the Bonds. For this purpose, the Authority covenants that it will monitor
and control the receipt, investment, expenditure and use of all gross proceeds of the
Bonds (including all property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is
to be financed directly or indirectly with the proceeds of the Bonds) and take or omit to
take such other and further actions as may be required by Sections 103 and 141 through
150 of the Code and the Regulations to cause interest on the Bonds to be and remain
excludable from the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of the owners of
the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Authority shall comply with each of the following covenants:
(a) The Authority will use all of the proceeds of the Bonds for the
governmental purposes set forth in Section 3.1 above. The Authority will
236630
20
not use any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds to pay the principal of or
interest or redemption premium on, any other obligation of the Authority
or a related person.
(b) The Authority will not directly or indirectly take any action, or omit to
take any action, which action or omission would cause the Bonds to
constitute "private activity bonds' within the meaning of Section 141(a) of
the Code.
(c) Principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid solely from certain ad
valorem taxes resulting from the increase in appraised value of real
property located in the Reinvestment Zone Number Two, City of
Pearland, Texas collected by the City of Pearland, Texas for the account of
the Authority, investment earnings on such collections, and as available,
proceeds of the Bonds.
(d) Based upon all facts and estimates now known or reasonably expected to
be in existence on the date the Bonds are delivered, the Authority
reasonably expects that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a
manner that would cause the Bonds or any portion thereof to be an
"arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.
(e) At all times while the Bonds are outstanding, the Authority will identify
and properly account for all amounts constituting gross proceeds of the
Bonds in accordance with the Regulations. The Authority will monitor
the yield on the investments of the proceeds of the Bonds and, to the
extent required by the Code and the Regulations, will restrict the yield on
such investments to a yield which is not materially higher than the yield
on the Bonds. To the extent necessary to prevent the Bonds from
constituting "arbitrage bonds," the Authority will make such payments as
are necessary to cause the yield on all yield restricted nonpurpose
investments allocable to the Bonds to be less than the yield that is
materially higher than the yield on the Bonds.
(f) The Authority will not take any action or knowingly omit to take any
action, if taken or omitted, would cause the Bonds to be treated as
"federally guaranteed" obligations for purposes of Section 149(b) of the
Code.
(g) The Authority represents that not more than fifty percent (50%) of the
proceeds of the Bonds will be invested in nonpurpose investments (as
defined in Section 148(f)(6)(A) of the Code) having a substantially
guaranteed yield for four years or more within the meaning of Section
149(g) (3) (A) (ii) of the Code, and the Authority reasonably expects that at
236630
21
least eighty-five percent (85%) of the spendable proceeds of the Bonds will
be used to carry out the governmental purpose of the Bonds within the
three-year period beginning on the date of issue of the Bonds.
(h) The Authority will take all necessary steps to comply with the
requirement that certain amounts earned by the Authority on the
investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds, if any, be rebated to the
federal government. Specifically, the Authority will (i) maintain records
regarding the receipt, investment, and expenditure of the gross proceeds
of the Bonds as may be required to calculate such excess arbitrage profits
separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts
of the Authority allocable to other obligations of the Authority or moneys
which do not represent gross proceeds of any obligations of the Authority
and retain such records for at least six years after the day on which the last
outstanding Bond is discharged, (ii) account for all gross proceeds under a
reasonable, consistently applied method of accounting, not employed as
an artifice or device to avoid in whole or in part, the requirements of
Section 148 of the Code, including any specified method of accounting
required by applicable Regulations to be used for all or a portion of any
gross proceeds, (iii) calculate, at such times as are required by applicable
Regulations, the amount of excess arbitrage profits, if any, earned from
the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds and (iv) timely pay, as
required by applicable Regulations, all amounts required to be rebated to
the federal government. In addition, the Authority will exercise
reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the calculations
required by the preceding sentence and, if such an error is made, to
discover and promptly correct such error within a reasonable amount of
time thereafter, including payment to the federal government of any
delinquent amounts owed to it, interest thereon and any penalty.
(i) The Authority will not directly or indirectly pay any amount otherwise
payable to the federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements
to any person other than the federal government by entering into any
investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of the Bonds
that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the
federal government because such arrangement results in a smaller profit
or a larger loss than would have resulted if such arrangement had been at
arm's length and had the yield on the Bonds not been relevant to either
party.
(j) The Authority will timely file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the
Treasury of the United States the information required by Section 149(e) of
the Code with respect to the Bonds on such form and in such place as the
Secretary may prescribe.
236630
22
(k) The Authority will not issue or use the Bonds as part of an "abusive
arbitrage device" (as defined in Section 1.14810(a) of the Regulations).
Without limiting the foregoing, the Bonds are not and will not be a part of
a transaction or series of transactions that attempts to circumvent the
provisions of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations, by (i) enabling
the Authority to exploit the difference between tax-exempt and taxable
interest rates to gain a material financial advantage, or (ii) increasing the
burden on the market for tax-exempt obligations.
(1) Proper officers of the Authority charged with the responsibility for issuing
the Bonds are hereby directed to make, execute and deliver certifications
as to facts, estimates or circumstances in existence as of the date of
issuance of the Bonds and stating whether there are facts, estimates or
circumstances that would materially change the Authority's expectations.
On or after the date of issuance of the Bonds, the Authority will take such
actions as are necessary and appropriate to assure the continuous
accuracy of the representations contained in such certificates.
(m) The covenants and representations made or required by this Section are
for the benefit of the Bond holders and any subsequent Bond holder, and
may be relied upon by the Bond holders and any subsequent Bond holder
and bond counsel to the Authority.
In complying with the foregoing covenants, the Authority may rely upon an
unqualified opinion issued to the Authority by nationally recognized bond counsel that
any action by the Authority or reliance upon any interpretation of the Code or
Regulations contained in such opinion will not cause interest on the Bonds to be
includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing law.
Section 8.2: Continuing Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Resolution, the Authority's representations and obligations under the covenants
and provisions of this Article VIII shall survive the defeasance and discharge of the
Bonds for as long as such matters are relevant to the exclusion of interest on the Bonds
from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes.
ARTICLE IX

NRMSIR and any SID, within six months after the end of each fiscal year of the

NRMSIR and any SID (or EMMA as applicable) or filed with the SEC.
Section 9.2: Material Event Notices. The Authority shall notify any SID and
either each NRMSIR or EMMA, in a timely manner, of any of the following events with
respect to the Series 2009 Bonds, if such event is material within the meaning of the
federal securities laws:

timely manner, of any failure by the Authority to provide financial information or
operating data in accordance with Section 9.1 by the time required.
Section 9.3: Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments. The Authority
shall be obligated to observe and perform the covenants specified in this Article IX for
so long as, but only for so long as, the Authority remains an "obligated person' with
respect to the Series 2009 Bonds within the meaning of the Rule, except that the
Authority in any event will give the notice required by Section 9.2 of any Series 2009
Bond calls and defeasance that cause the Authority to be no longer such an "obligated
person."
The provisions of this Article IX are for the sole benefit of the Registered Owners
and beneficial owners of the Series 2009 Bonds, and nothing in this Article IX, express or
implied, shall give any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim
hereunder to any other person. The Authority undertakes to provide only the financial
information, operating data, financial statements, and notices which it has expressly
agreed to provide pursuant to this Article IX and does not hereby undertake to provide
any other information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of the
Authority's financial results, condition, or prospects or hereby undertake to update any
information provided in accordance with this Article IX or otherwise, except as
expressly provided herein. The Authority does not make any representation or
warranty concerning such information or its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell
Series 2009 Bonds at any future date.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE AUTHORITY BE LIABLE TO THE
REGISTERED OWNER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY SERIES 2009 BOND OR
ANY OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN
WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE AUTHORITY, WHETHER
NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT SPECIFIED
IN THIS ARTICLE IX, BUT EVERY RIGHT AND REMEDY OF ANY SUCH PERSON,
IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR OR ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH BREACH SHALL
BE LIMITED TO AN ACTION FOR MANDAMUS OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.
No default by the Authority in observing or performing its obligations under this
Article IX shall constitute a breach of or default under this Resolution for purposes of
any other provision of this Resolution.
Nothing in this Article IX is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise
limit the duties of the Authority under federal and state securities laws.
The provisions of this Article IX may be amended by the Authority from time to
time to adapt to changed circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements,
a change in law, or a change in the identity, nature, status, or type of operations of the
236630
25
Authority or the Participants but only if (1) the provisions of this Article IX, as so
amended, would have permitted the Underwriter to purchase or sell Series 2009 Bonds
in the original primary offering of the Series 2009 Bonds in compliance with the Rule,
taking into account any amendments and interpretations of the Rule to the date of such
amendment, as well as such changed circumstances, and (2) either (a) the Registered
Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount (or any greater amount required by
any other provision of this Resolution that authorizes such an amendment) of the
Outstanding Series 2009 Bonds consent to such amendment or (b) a person that is
unaffiliated with the Authority (such as nationally recognized bond counsel)
determines that such amendment will not materially impair the interests of the
Registered Owners and beneficial owners of the Series 2009 Bonds. If the Authority so
amends the provisions of this Article IX, it shall include with any amended financial
information or operating data next provided in accordance with Section 9.1 an
explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of
any change in the type of financial information or operating data so provided. The
Authority may also repeal or amend the provisions of this Article IX if the SEC amends

engagement letter dated July 27, 2004, as supplemented by subsequent letters dated April 12,

In connection with the issuance of the Authority's Tax Increment Contract Revenue

addition, ABHR will be reimbursed for its reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses and all
items paid for by ABHR on behalf of the Authority and incurred in connection with the
issuance of the Series 2009 Bonds. ABHR and the Authority agree that this fee reduction shall
apply only to Series 2009 Bonds and that, with respect to any future financings by the
Authority, the provisions of the Engagement Letter shall govern, unless otherwise agreed to in
writing by the Authority and ABHR.
If this proposal is satisfactory to the Authority, please evidence your acceptance and

Re: Engagement of Andrews Kurth LLP to Perform Co -Bond Counsel Services for
Development Authority of Pearland Tax Increment Contract Revenue Bonds,
Series 2009
Gentlemen:
We are pleased to submit to you a proposed agreement for Andrews Kurth LLP, Houston,
Texas ("AK") to provide Co -Bond Counsel services for the Development Authority of Pearland
(the "Authority"), in connection with the issuance of Development Authority of Pearland Tax
Increment Contract Revenue Bonds, Series 2009.
We direct you to our engagement letter dated July 27, 2004 (the "Original Engagement
Letter"), in which the Authority and AK agreed on certain legal services provided to the
Authority by AK. While we would anticipate that the provisions of the Original Engagement
Letter would remain effective for future transactions between the Authority and AK, with respect
only to the issuance of the Development Authority of Pearland Tax Increment Contract Revenue
Bonds, Series 2009 (the "Bonds"), we propose that AK bill the Authority 1.5% of the principal
amount of the first $5 million of principal amount of the Bonds and 1% of the principal amount
exceeding $5 million. In addition, AK will be reimbursed for its reasonable and actual out-of-
pocket expenses and all items paid for by AK on behalf of the Authority and incurred in
connection with the issuance of the Bonds.
As we have discussed, you are aware that AK represents many other governmental
entities, companies and individuals. It is possible that during the time that we are representing
you, some of our present or future clients will have disputes or transactions with you. In
particular, as we have advised you, we represent the City of Pearland, Texas (the "City") as their
bond counsel and in connection with certain City finance matters and you have agreed and
confirmed that such representation does not interfere with our representation of you. You agree
that we may continue to represent or may undertake in the future to represent existing or new
clients in any matter that is not substantially related to our work for you even if the interests of
such clients in those other matters are directly adverse. We agree, however, that your
prospective consent to conflicting representation contained in the preceding sentence shall not
apply in any instance where, as a result of our representation of you, we have obtained
HOU:2924222.1
Austin Dallas Houston London Los Angeles New York The Woodlands Washington, DC
proprietary or other confidential information of a nonpublic nature, that if known to such other
client, could be used in any other matter by such client to your material disadvantage.
If this proposed agreement for the engagement of AK to provide legal services to the
Authority is satisfactory, please evidence your acceptance and approval by executing two copies
in the space provided below.
Very truly yours,
Rick A. Witte
