To the end that Authority income will be sufficient to pay the Parity Bonds and the interest thereon when due, the Authority will keep in effect and enforce the Contracts, and will cause the System to be operated and maintained at an annual cost that will be within its income other than the income required to pay the Parity Bonds and the interest thereon and the fees of each paying agent and Paying Agent /Registrar. The Authority will not voluntarily consent to any amendment to the Contracts which would reduce the amounts payable thereunder or extend the time of the payment of such amounts or which would in any manner impair or adversely affect the rights of the holders or owners of the Parity Bonds from time to time. If any of the Cities fails to make payments as required by the Contracts and if it shall appear that enforcement of the Contracts has become ineffective or will be ineffective to the extent that a default in payment of principal of or interest on the Parity Bonds occurs or is threatened, the Authority will take all necessary action to preserve and protect the rights of the holders or owners of the Parity Bonds and to assure payment of the princi- pal thereof and the interest thereon.

No lease shall be made which will result in any damage to or substantial diminution of the value of other property of the Authority. The rental to be charged under all such leases shall be not less than the fair and reasonable rental in relation to the character and value of the property leased. All rentals, revenues, receipts, and royalties derived by the Authority from any and all leases so made, shall be deposited in the Revenue Fund. (d) It is covenanted and agreed by Authority that no such property of any nature shall be sold or leased by Authority unless, prior to any action taken by Authority concerning such sale or leasing, Authority shall procure the advice and 45 recommendation in writing of a registered professional engineer concerning such proposed sale or leasing. Section 12.12. SUCCESSOR PAYING AGENTS FOR COUPON BONDS. If any of the paying agents for any Parity Bonds which are coupon bonds payable to bearer, or their successors, become unable for any reason to act as a paying agent for said bonds, the Authority covenants that it will appoint a bank in the same city as the paying agent initially appointed, where said bonds and interest thereon shall be paid.

All such policies shall be open to the inspection of the bondholders and their representatives at all reasonable times. Section 13.02. INSURANCE PROCEEDS. In the event of any loss of or damage to the System the Authority covenants that it will reconstruct or repair the destroyed or damaged portion of the property and will apply the proceeds of the insurance policies covering such loss or damage solely for that purpose.

The Authority agrees that it will procure the advice and recommendation in writing of a registered professional engineer concerning such recon- struction before it is undertaken. Section 13.03.

Such average annual requirements shall be calculated as of the date of any such Additional Bonds. Provided, as of the date of any such Additional Bonds, it shall be sufficient if the aggregate amount in the Reserve Fund is equal to the average annual requirement on the Parity Bonds and Additional Bonds outstanding and to be outstanding, and if the amount exceeds such average annual requirement, any surplus in the Reserve Fund shall be transferred to the Interest and Sinking Fund, unless otherwise required by any bond resolution.

The Authority covenants to and with the purchasers of the Parity Bonds that it will make no use of the proceeds of the Parity Bonds at any time throughout the term of the issues of Parity Bonds which, if such use had 52 been reasonably expected on the date of delivery of the Parity Bonds to and payment for the Parity Bonds by the purchasers, would have caused the Parity Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or any regulations or rulings pertaining thereto; and by this covenant the Authority is obligated to comply with the requirements of the aforesaid Section 103(c) and all applicable and pertinent Department of the Treasury regulations relating to arbitrage bonds.

Section 18. DEFEASANCE OF BONDS (SERIES 1988). (a) Any Bond and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired, and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased Bond ") within the meaning of this Resolution, except to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section, when payment of the princi- pal of such Bond, plus interest thereon to the due date (wheth- er such due date be by reason of maturity, upon redemption, or otherwise) either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof (including the giving of any required notice of redemption), or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such due date by irrevocably deposit- ing with or making available to the Paying Agent /Registrar for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to make such payment or (2) Government Obligations which mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability, without rein- vestment, of sufficient money to provide for such payment, and when proper arrangements have been made by the Issuer with the Paying Agent /Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Bond shall be deemed to be a Defeased Bond hereunder, as aforesaid, such Bond and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by, payable from, or entitled to the benefits of, the Pledged Revenues as provided in this Resolution, and such principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or Government Obligations. (b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent /Regis- trar may at the written direction of the Issuer also be in- vested in Government Obligations, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from such Government Obligations received by the Paying Agent /Registrar which is not required for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon, with respect to which such money has been so 53 deposited, shall be turned over to the Issuer, or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer. (c) The term "Government Obligations" as used in this Section shall mean direct obligations of the United States of America, including obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, which may be United States Treasury obligations such as its State and Local Government Series, which may be in book -entry form. (d) Until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent /Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent /Registrar for such Defeased Bonds the same as if they had not been defeased, and the Issuer shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Resolution. Section 19. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DE- STROYED BONDS (SERIES 1988). (a) Replacement Bonds. In the event any outstanding Bond is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Paying Agent /Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed, and delivered, a new bond of the same principal amount, maturity, and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond, in replacement for such Bond in the manner hereinafter provided. (b) Application for Replacement Bonds. Application for replacement of damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Bonds shall be made by the registered owner thereof to the Paying Agent /Registrar. In every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Bond, the registered owner applying for a replacement bond shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent /Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss or damage with respect thereto. Also, in every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Bond, the registered owner shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent /Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft, or destruction of such Bond, as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a Bond, the registered owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent /Registrar for cancellation the Bond so damaged or muti- lated. (c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the event any such Bond shall have matured, and no default has occurred which is then con- tinuing in the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bond, the Issuer may authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the 54 case of a damaged or mutilated Bond) instead of issuing a replacement Bond, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section. (d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Bonds. Prior to the issuance of any replacement bond, the Paying Agent /Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such Bond with all legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement bond issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Bond is lost, stolen, or destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Resolution equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued under this Resolution. (e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Bonds. In accor- dance with Section 6 of Vernon's Ann. Tex. Civ. St. Art. 717k -6, this Section 19 of this Resolution shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such replacement bond without necessity of further action by the governing body of the Issuer or any other body or person, and the duty of the replacement of such bonds is hereby authorized and imposed upon the Paying Agent /Registrar, and the Paying Agent /Registrar shall authen- ticate and deliver such Bonds in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 6(d) of this Resolution for Bonds issued in conversion and exchange for other Bonds. Section 20. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX - EXEMPT STATUS OF BONDS. The Issuer hereby covenants to take such action or refrain from such action necessary to ensure the status of the Bonds as obligations described in section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any predecessor thereof. In particu- lar, but not by way of limitation, the Issuer covenants as follows: (a) None of the proceeds of the Bonds (including investment earnings thereon) will be used, directly or indirectly, in the trade or business of a person, other than the Issuer. For purposes of the foregoing, any use of such proceeds in any manner contrary to the guidelines set forth in Revenue Procedures 82 -14 and 82 -15, 1982 -1 C.B. 459, 460, or any amendments, revisions or supplements thereto, shall constitute the use of such proceeds in the trade or business of such person; (b) None of the proceeds of the Bonds (including investment earnings thereon) will be used, directly or indirectly, to finance loans to any persons; 55 (c) Not by way of limitation, the Issuer will take such action or will refrain from any action which would adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxa- tion of the interest paid on the Bonds, including without limitation any action that would permit any of the Bonds to be treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code or as "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code, and will take, or require to be taken, such acts as may be reasonably within its ability and as may from time to time be required under applicable law or regulation to continue to cause interest on the Bonds to be excludable from gross income of the holder, including the preparation and filing of any statements or information reports required to be filed by the Issuer in order to maintain the tax - exempt status of the interest on the Bonds; and (d) The Issuer has not taken, has no present inten- tion of taking any action and knows of no action taken or intended which would cause interest on the Bonds to be includable in the gross income of any bondholders for federal income tax purposes. Section 21. COVENANTS REGARDING ARBITRAGE. (a) A Rebate Fund is hereby established by the Issuer. Such Fund shall be for the benefit of the United States of America. The Rebate Fund is established for the purpose of compliance with section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code "). (b) At the close of each "Bond Year," the Issuer shall compute the amount of "Excess Earnings," if any, for the period beginning on the date of delivery of the Initial Bond and ending at the close of such "Bond Year" and transfer to the Rebate Fund an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount then in the Rebate Fund and the Excess Earnings so computed. The term "Bond Year" means with respect to the Bonds each one -year period ending on the anniversary of the date of delivery of the Initial Bond. If, at the close of any Bond Year, the amount in the Rebate Fund exceeds the amount that would be required to be paid to the United States of America under paragraph (d) below if the Bonds had been paid in full, such excess may be transferred from the Rebate Fund and paid to the Issuer. (c) In general, "Excess Earnings" for any period of time means the sum of (i) the excess of -- 56 (A) the aggregate amount earned during such period of time on all "Nonpurpose Obligations" (including gains on the disposition of such Obli- gations) in which "Gross Proceeds" of the issue are invested (other than amounts attributable to an excess described in this subparagraph (c)(i)), over (B) the amount that would have been earned during such period of time if the "Yield" on such Nonpurpose Obligations (other than amounts attrib- utable to an excess described in this subparagraph (c)(i)) had been equal to the yield on the issue, plus (ii) any income during such period of time attrib- utable to the excess described in subparagraph (c)(i) above. "Excess Earnings" will not include amounts, if any, which need not be taken into account under the special rules of section 148 (f) (4) (A) and (8) of the Code relating to bona fide debt service funds and the six -month temporary investment period. The terms "Nonpurpose Obligations," "Gross Proceeds" and "Yield" shall have the meanings prescribed by section 148 of the Code and shall be applied in the manner prescribed in such section. (d) The Issuer shall pay to the United States of America at least once every five -years an amount that ensures that at least 90 percent of the Excess Earnings from the date of delivery of the Bonds to the close of the period for which the payment is being made will have been paid. The Issuer shall pay to the United States of America not later than 60 days after the Bonds have been paid in full 100 percent of the amount then required to be paid under section 148(f) of the Code as a result of Excess Earnings. (e) The Issuer shall keep such records as will enable the Issuer to fulfill its responsibilities under this section and section 148(f) of the Code and shall retain such records for at least six years following the final payment of principal and interest on the Bonds. (f) The Issuer will not use any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds directly or indirectly to acquire "higher yielding investments," or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire "higher yielding investments." The term higher yielding investments means any investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces a yield over the term of the issue which is materially higher 57 than the yield on the issue (as defined above). The foregoing limitation on higher yielding investments shall not apply to -- (1) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3 years or less until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the bonds are issued, or (2) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund if the gross earnings on such fund are less than $100,000 in any bond year. (g) The Issuer covenants to restrict the use of Initial Bonds proceeds in such manner and to such extent, as may be necessary, so that the Bonds will not constitute arbitrage bonds under section 148 of the Code. Any authorized represen- tative of the Issuer having responsibility with respect to the issuance of the Bonds is authorized and directed, alone or in conjunction with any other official, employee or consultant of the Issuer to give an appropriate certificate on behalf of the Issuer, for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings for the Bonds, setting forth the facts, estimates and circumstances and reasonable expectations pertaining to section 148 of the Code and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code. (h) The requirements of this Section are subject to, and shall be interpreted in accordance with section 148 of the Code. Section 22. CUSTODY, APPROVAL, AND REGISTRATION OF BONDS; BOND COUNSEL'S OPINION, CUSIP NUMBERS, AND INSURANCE. The President of the Board of Directors of the Issuer is hereby authorized to have control of the Initial Bonds issued hereun- der and all necessary records and proceedings pertaining to the Initial Bonds pending their delivery and their investigation, examination, and approval by the Attorney General of the State of Texas, and their registration by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas. Upon registration of the Initial Bonds said Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a deputy designated in writing to act for said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate on each of the Initial Bonds, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile, on each of the Initial Bonds. The approving legal opinion of the Issuer's Bond Counsel and the assigned CUSIP numbers may, at the option of the Issuer, be printed on each of the Initial Bonds or on any Bonds issued and delivered in conversion of and exchange or replacement of any Bond, but neither shall have any legal effect, and shall be solely for the convenience and information of the registered owners of the Bonds. If the underwriters of 58 • the Initial Bonds elect to obtain insurance on the Bonds, the Initial Bonds and all other Bonds shall bear an appropriate legend concerning insurance as provided by the insurer. Section 23. SALE OF INITIAL BONDS. The Initial Bonds are hereby sold and shall be delivered to Dillon, Read & Co. Inc., as representative of the underwriters, in accordance with the Bond Purchase Contract dated the date of this meeting and presented to the Board of the Authority at this meeting.

The following principal amounts of the Initial Bonds (aggregating $30,996,567.10) are hereby designated as the "Refunding Bonds" portion of the Initial Bonds issued to refund the Refunded Bonds, to -wit, the principal amounts maturing on February 1 of each of the years, respectively, as follows: $ 460,000.00 1989 485,000.00 1990 510,000.00 1991 540,000.00 1992 570,000.00 1993 605,000.00 1994 645,000.00 1995 1,605,000.00 1996 1,725,000.00 1997 1,795,000.00 1998 1,945,000.00 1999 $1,775,000.00 2000 2,600,000.00 2001 2,920,000.00 2002 3,135,000.00 2003. 3,350,000.00 2004 3,780,000.00 2005 976,173.10 2006 579,628.00 2007 521,614.80 2008 474,151.20 2009 Section 26. REFUNDING OF REFUNDED BONDS. That concur- rently with the delivery of the Initial Bonds the Authority shall deposit an amount from the proceeds from the sale of the Initial Bonds with First RepublicBank Fort Worth, N.A. Fort Worth, Texas, as Escrow Agent, sufficient, together with other available funds, to refund all of the Refunded Bonds in accor- dance with Section 7A of Vernon's Ann. Tex. Civ. St. Article 717k, as amended. The General Manager of the Authority and the Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Authority are hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the Authority, to execute an appropriate Escrow Agreement to accomplish such purpose. It is hereby found and determined that the refunding of the Refunded Bonds is advisable and necessary in order to restructure the principal and interest requirements and procedures of the Authority, and that the principal and interest requirements on the "Refunding Bonds" portion of the Bonds in each year will be less than they would be on the Refunded Bonds if they were not refunded, resulting in a reduction in the amount of principal and interest which otherwise would be payable in each year with respect to the Refunded Bonds, both on an actual and a present value basis. Section 27. FURTHER PROCEDURES. The President of the Board of the Authority, the Secretary of said Board, the General Manager of the Authority, and all other officers, employees, and agents of the Authority, and each of them, shall be and they are hereby expressly authorized, empowered, and directed from time to time and at any time to do and perform all such acts and things and to execute, acknowledge, and deliver in the name and on behalf of the Authority all such instruments and agreements, whether or not herein mentioned, as may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Bond Resolution, the Bonds, the sale and delivery of the Initial Bonds and the other Bonds, the Official Statement, and the Escrow Agreement. In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Bond, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery. 60 • YIELD SCHEDULE I TABLE OF ACCRETED VALUES 8.0000% 8.0000% 8.1000% 8.1000% 8.1000% VALUE OF VALUE OF VALUE OF VALUE OF VALUE OF 01- Feb -2006 01- Feb -2007 01- Feb -2008 01- Feb -2009 01- Feb -2010 DATE MATURITY MATURITY MATURITY MATURITY MATURITY 30- Mar -88 1,234.10 1,141.00 1,034.95 955.95 883.00 O1- Aug -88 1,267.08 1,171.48 1,062.99 981.85 906.90 01- Feb -89 1,317.76 1,218.34 1,106.04 1,021.61 943.63 01- Aug -89 1,370.47 1,267.08 1,150.83 1,062.99 981.85 01- Feb -90 1,425.29 1,317.76 1,197.44 1,106.04 1,021.61 01- Aug -90 1,482.30 1,370.47 1,245.94 1,150.83 1,062.99 01- Feb -91 1,541.59 1,425.29 1,296.40 1,197.44 1,106.04 01- Aug -91 1,603.26 1,482.30 1,348.90 1,245.94 1,150.83 01- Feb -92 1,667.39 1,541.59 1,403.54 1,296.40 1,197.44 01- Aug -92 1,734.08 1,603.26 1,460.38 1,348.90 1,245.94 01- Feb -93 1,803.45 1,667.39 1,519.52 1,403.54 1,296.40 01- Aug -93 1,875.58 1,734.08 1,581.06 1,460.38 1,348.90 01- Feb -94 1,950.61 1,803.45 1,645.10 1,519.52 1,403.54 01- Aug -94 2,028.63 1,875.58 1,711.72 1,581.06 1,460.38 01- Feb -95 2,109.78 1,950.61 1,781.05 1,645.10 1,519.52 01- Aug -95 2,194.17 2,028.63 1,853.18 1,711.72 1,581.06 01- Feb -96 2,281.93 2,109.78 1,928.24 1,781.05 1,645.10 01- Aug -96 2,373.21 2,194.17 2,006.33 1,853.18 1,711.72 01- Feb-97 2,468.14 2,281.93 2,087.58 1,928.24 1,781.05 01- Aug -97 2,566.87 2,373.21 2,172.13 2,006.33 1,853.18 01- Feb -98 2,669.54 2,468.14 2,260.10 2,087.58 1,928.24 01- Aug -98 2,776.32 2,566.87 2,351.64 2,172.13 2,006.33 01- Feb -99 2,887.38 2,669.54 2,446.88 2,260.10 2,087.58 01- Aug -99 3,002.87 2,776.32 2,545.98 2,351.64 2,172.13 01- Feb -2000 3,122.99 2,887.38 2,649.09 2,446.88 2,260.10 01 -Aug -2000 3,247.90 3,002.87 2,756.38 2,545.98 2,351.64 01- Feb -2001 3,377.82 3,122.99 2,868.01 2,649.09 2,446.88 01 -Aug -2001 3,512.93 3,247.90 2,984.17 2,756.38 2,545.98 01- Feb -2002 3,653.45 3,377.82 3,105.02 2,868.01 2,649.09 01 -Aug -2002 3,799.59 3,512.93 3,230.78 2,984.17 2,756.38 01- Feb -2003 3,951.57 3,653.45 3,361.62 3,105.02 2,868.01 01 -Aug -2003 4,109.64 3,799.59 3,497.77 3,230.78 2,984.17 01- Feb -2004 4,274.02 3,951.57 3,639.43 3,361.62 3,105.02 01 -Aug -2004 4,444.98 4,109.64 3,786.83 3,497.77 3,230.78 01- Feb -2005 4,622.78 4,274.02 3,940.19 3,639.43 3,361.62 01- Aug -2005 4,807.69 4,444.98 4,099.77 3,786.83 3,497.77 01- Feb -2006 5,000.00 4,622.78 4,265.81 3,940.19 3,639.43 01 -Aug -2006 4,807.69 4,438.58 4,099.77 3,786.83 01- Feb -2007 5,000.00 4,618.34 4,265.81 3,940.19 01 -Aug -2007 4,805.38 4,438.58 4,099.77 01- Feb -2008 5,000.00 4,618.34 4,265.81 01- Aug -2008 4,805.38 4,438.58 01- Feb -2009 5,000.00 4,618.34 01 -Aug -2009 4,805.38 01- Feb -2010 5,000.00
