paying agent for the Refunded Obligations or with a trust company or commercial bank that does
not act as depository for the BRUA with respect to the safekeeping, investment, reinvestment,

issued in exchange for any Bond or Bonds issued under this Resolution the Paying Agent/Registrar
shall execute the PAYING AGENT/REGISTRAR’S AUTHENTICATION CERTIFICATE (the
"Authentication Certificate"). The Authentication Certificate shall be in the form set forth in the
FORM OF BOND in Exhibit "B" attached hereto.
BCRUA: CP~,RevRef’Bonds2016 6
(f) Transfer, Exchange, or Replacement. Each Bond issued and delivered pursuant to this
Resolution, to the extent of the unpaid or unredeemed principal amount thereof, may, upon
surrender of such Bond at the Designated Trust Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, together
with a written request therefor duly executed by the Registered Owner or the assignee or assignees
thereof, or its or their duly authorized attorneys or representatives, with guarantee of signatures
satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, may, at the option of the Registered Owner or such
assignee or assignees, as appropriate, be exchanged for fully registered Bonds, without interest

this Resolution, in any Authorized Denomination (subject to the requirement hereinafter stated

requested in writing by such Registered Owner or such assignee or assignees, in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the unpaid or unredeemed principal amount of any Bond or Bonds so
surrendered, and payable to the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee, or assignees, as the case
may be. If a portion of any Bond shall be redeemed prior to its scheduled maturity as provided
herein, a substitute Bond or Bonds having the same series designation and maturity date, bearing
interest at the same rate, and payable in the same manner, in Authorized Denominations at the
request of the Registered Owner, and in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion thereof, will be issued to the Registered Owner upon surrender thereof for cancellation. If
any Bond or portion thereof is assigned and transferred, each Bond issued in exchange therefor
shall have the same series designation and maturity date and bear interest at the same rate and
payable in the same manner as the Bond for which it is being exchanged. Each substitute Bond
shall bear a letter and/or number to distinguish it from each other Bond. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall exchange or replace Bonds as provided herein, and each fully registered
Bond delivered in exchange for or replacement of any Bond or portion thereof as permitted or
required by any provision of this Resolution shall constitute one of the Bonds for all purposes of
this Resolution, and may again be exchanged or replaced. On each substitute Bond issued in
exchange for or replacement of any Bond or Bonds issued under this Resolution there shall be
printed an Authentication Certificate, in the form set forth in Exhibit "B" to this Resolution. An
authorized representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, before the delivery of any such
Bond, date and manually sign the Authentication Certificate, and, except as provided in (e) above,
no such Bond shall be deemed to be issued or outstanding unless the Authentication Certificate is
so executed. The Paying Agent/Registrar promptly shall cancel all Bonds surrendered for transfer,
exchange, or replacement. No additional orders or resolutions need be passed or adopted by the
Board or any other body or person so as to accomplish the foregoing transfer, exchange, or
replacement of any Bond or portion thereof, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall provide for the
printing, execution, and delivery of the substitute Bonds in the manner prescribed herein, and said
Bonds shall be in typed or printed form as determined by the BCRUA Representative. Pursuant to
Subtitle D, Texas Government Code and particularly Section 1201.063, thereof, the duty of
transfer, exchange, or replacement of Bonds as aforesaid is hereby imposed upon the Paying
Agent/Registrar, and, upon the execution of the Authentication Certificate, the exchanged or
replaced Bond shall be valid, incontestable, and enforceable in the same manner and with the same
effect as the Bonds which were originally issued pursuant to this Resolution. The Board shall pay
the Paying Agent/Registrar’s standard or customary fees and charges, if any, for transferring, and
exchanging any Bond or any portion thereof, but the one requesting any such transfer and exchange
BCRUA: CPW~RevRefBonds2016 7
shall pay any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto as a condition
precedent to the exercise of such privilege. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to
make any such transfer, exchange, or replacement of Bonds or any portion thereof (i) during the
period commencing with the close of business on any Record Date and ending with the opening
of business on the next following interest payment date, or (ii) with respect to any Bond or portion
thereof called for redemption prior to maturity, within 45 days prior to its redemption date. To the
extent possible, any new Bond issued in an exchange, replacement, or transfer of a Bond will be
delivered to the Registered Owner or assignee of the Registered Owner not more than three
business days after the receipt of the Bonds to be canceled and the written request as described
above.
(g) Substitute Paying Agent/Registrar. The Board covenants with the Registered Owners
of the Bonds that at all times while the Bonds are outstanding the Board will provide a competent
and legally qualified bank, trust company, financial institution, or other agency to act as and
perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds under this Resolution, and that the
Paying Agent/Registrar will be one entity. The Board reserves the right to, and may, at its option,
change the Paying Agent/Registrar upon not less than ninety (90) days written notice to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, to be effective not later than sixty (60) days prior to the next principal or interest
payment date after such notice. In the event that the entity at any time acting as Paying
Agent/Registrar (or its successor by merger, acquisition, or other method) should resign or
otherwise cease to act as such, the Board covenants that promptly it will appoint a competent and
legally qualified bank, trust company, financial institution, or other agency to act as Paying
Agent/Registrar under this Resolution. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the
previous Paying Agent/Registrar promptly shall transfer and deliver the Registration Books (or a
copy thereof), along with all other pertinent books and records relating to the Bonds, to the new
Paying Agent/Registrar designated and appointed by the Board. Upon any change in the Paying
Agent/Registrar, the Board promptly will cause a written notice thereof to be sent by the new
Paying Agent/Registrar to each Registered Owner of the Bonds, by United States mail, first-class
postage prepaid, which notice also shall give the address of the new Paying Agent/Registrar. By
accepting the position and performing as such, each Paying Agent/Registrar shall be deemed to
have agreed to the provisions of this Resolution, and a certified copy of this Resolution shall be
delivered to each Paying Agent/Registrar.
(h) Book-Entry-Only System. The Bonds issued in exchange for the Bonds initially issued
and delivered to the initial purchasers thereof shall be issued in the form of a separate single fully
registered Bond for each of the maturities thereof registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee
of DTC, and except as provided in subsection (i) hereof, all of the Outstanding Bonds shall be
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. With respect to Bonds registered in
the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Board and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have
no responsibility or obligation to any DTC Participant or to any person on behalf of whom such a
DTC Participant holds an interest on the Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding
sentence, the Board 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 Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person,
BCRUA: CPkKRevRefBonds2016 8
other than a Registered Owner, as shown on the Registration Books, of any notice with respect to
the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any
other person, other than a Registered Owner, as shown in the Registration Books of any amount
with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Resolution to the contrary but to the extent permitted by law, the Board and the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall be entitled to treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond
is registered in the Registration Books as the absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of
giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of
registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or
upon the order of the respective Registered Owners, as shown in the Registration Books as
provided in this Resolution, or their respective attomeys duly authorized in writing, and all such
payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Board’s obligations with
respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the
sum or sums so paid. No person other than a Registered Owner, as shown in the Registration
Books, shall receive a Bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the Board to make payments
of principal, premium, if any, and interest 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 in this Resolution with respect
to interest checks being mailed to the Registered Owner at the close of business on the Record
Date, the word "Cede & Co." in this Resolution shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
(i) Successor Securities Depository; Transfers Outside Book-Entry-Only System. In the
event that the Board or the Paying Agent/Registrar determines that DTC is incapable of
discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the representation letter of the Board to
DTC (as described in Section 35 of this Resolution) or DTC determines to discontinue providing
its services with respect to the Bonds, the Board shall (i) appoint a successor securities depository,
qualified to act as such under Section 17A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
notify DTC and DTC Participants of the appointment of such successor securities depository and
transfer one or more separate Bonds to such successor securities depository or (ii) notify DTC and
DTC Participants of the availability through DTC of Bonds and transfer one or more separate
Bonds to DTC Participants having Bonds credited to their DTC accounts. In such event, the Bonds
shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Registration Books 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 Registered Owners transferring or exchanging Bonds
shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution.
(j) Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the
contrary, so long as any Bond is 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 Bond and all notices
with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the
representation letter of the BCRUA to DTC.
BCRUA: CPW.RevRefBonds20 ! 6 9
(k) Notice of Redemption. In addition to the method of providing a notice of redemption
set forth in the FORM OF BOND, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall-give notice of redemption of
Bonds by mail, first-class postage prepaid at least thirty (30) days prior to a redemption date to
each registered securities depository and to any national information service that disseminates
redemption notices. In addition, in the event of a redemption caused by an advance refunding of
the Bonds, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall send a second notice of redemption to the persons
specified in the immediately preceding sentence at least thirty (30) days but not more than ninety
(90) days prior to the actual redemption date. Any notice sent to the registered securities
depositories or such national information services shall be sent so that they are received at least
two (2) days prior to the general mailing or publication date of such notice. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall also send a notice of prepayment or redemption to the Registered Owner of
any Bond who has not sent the Bonds in for redemption sixty (60) days after the redemption date.
Each notice of redemption, whether required in the FORM OF BOND or in this Section, shall
contain a description of the Bonds to be redeemed including the complete name of the Bonds, the
Series, the date of issue, the interest rate or rates, the maturity date, the CUSIP number, a reference
to the certificate numbers and the amounts called of each certificate, the publication and mailing
date for the notice, the date of redemption, the redemption price, the name of the Paying
Agent/Registrar and the address at which the Bonds may be redeemed, including a contact person
and telephone number. All redemption payments made by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the
registered owners of the Bonds shall include a CUSIP number relating to each amount paid to such
Registered Owner.
(1) Conditional Notice of Redemption. With respect to any optional redemption of the
Bonds, unless certain prerequisites to such redemption required by the Resolution have been met
and moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to be
redeemed shall have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice
of redemption, such notice shall state that said redemption may, at the option of the BCRUA, be
conditional upon the satisfaction of such prerequisites and receipt of such moneys by the Paying
Agent/Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or upon any prerequisite set forth
in such notice of redemption. If a conditional notice of redemption is given and such prerequisites
to the redemption and sufficient moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force and
effect, the BCRUA shall not redeem such Bonds and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall give notice,
in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that the Bonds have not
been redeemed.
Section 6. FORM OF BOND. The form of the Bond, including the form of the
Authentication Certificate, the form of Assignment and the form of Registration Certificate of the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State, with respect to the Bonds initially issued and
delivered pursuant to this Resolution, shall be, respectively, substantially as set forth in Exhibit
"B", with such appropriate variations, omissions, or insertions as are permitted or required by this
Resolution and any Award Certificate including specifically information relating to payment dates,
the Bond date and redemption provisions.
BCRUA: CPW-tRevRefBonds2016 10
Section 7. PLEDGE OF BOND PAYMENTS. (a) Pledge. The BCRUA hereby
covenants and agrees that the Bond Payments are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment and
security of the Bonds Similarly Secured including the establishment and maintenance of the special
funds or accounts created and established on the books and records of the BCRUA for the payment
and security thereof, all as hereinafter provided; and it is hereby resolved that the Bonds Similarly
Secured, and the interest thereon, shall constitute a lien on and pledge of the Bond Payments and
be valid and binding without any physical delivery thereof or further act by the BCRUA, and the
lien created hereby on the Bond Payments for the payment and security of the Bonds Similarly
Secured shall be prior in right and claim as to any other indebtedness, liability, or obligation of the
BCRUA or the BCRUA Project payable pursuant to the terms of the Contract. The BCRUA shall
deposit the Bond Payments, as collected and received, into a separate fund and account on the
books and records of the BCRUA known as the "Cedar Park Debt Service Fund," which has been
created and is hereby confirmed, to be utilized pursuant to the Contract and Sections 9 and 12
hereof to pay the Bonds; provided, however, that the Board of the BCRUA may utilize any
revenues, including those generated by the Contract, in excess of the Debt Service Requirements
on the Bonds Similarly Secured for any lawful purpose in accordance with this Resolution and the
Contract.
(b) Perfection of Pledge. Chapter 1208, as amended, Texas Government Code, applies to
the issuance of the Bonds Similarly Secured and the lien on and pledge of Bond Payments granted
by the BCRUA under subsection (a) of this Section, and such pledge is therefore valid, effective,
and perfected. If State law is amended at any time while the Bonds Similarly Secured are
outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge of the Bond Payments granted by the BCRUA is to
be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code, then in
order to preserve to the Registered Owners of the Bonds Similarly Secured the perfection of the
security interest in this pledge, the Board agrees to take such measures as it determines are
reasonable and necessary under State law to comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9,
as amended, Texas Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing to perfect the security interest
in this pledge to occur.
Section 8. RATES AND CHARGES. For the benefit of the Registered Owners of the
Bonds Similarly Secured and in addition to all provisions and covenants in the laws of the State
and in this Resolution, the Contract between the BCRUA and Cedar Park expressly stipulates and
agrees, while any of the Bonds Similarly Secured are Outstanding, Cedar Park will fix and collect
such rates and charges for services to be supplied by the Cedar Park System as will produce gross
revenues at all times during the term of the Contract in an amount equal to pay all of the expenses
of operation and maintenance of the Cedar Park System including Annual Payments and Bond
Payments under the Contract and all other amounts required by the laws and the provisions of the
ordinances or resolutions authorizing the Cedar Park Utility Bonds or other obligations now or
hereafter outstanding payable, in whole or in part, from the net revenues of the Cedar Park System,
including the amounts required to pay all principal of and interest on such Cedar Park Utility Bonds
and other obligations. The BCRUA hereby expressly stipulates that it will maintain rates and
charges through the Bond Payments to meet the debt service requirements on the Bond Similarly
BCRUA: CPLKRevRefBonds2016 11
Secured and agrees that it will take all appropriate action to enforce such terms of the Contract
while any of the Bonds Similarly Secured are Outstanding.
The Registered Owners shall never have the right to demand payment for the Bonds out of
any funds raised or to be raised from taxation by Cedar Park or the BCRUA.
Section 9. DISTRIBUTION OF BOND PAYMENTS. After the Bond Payments have
been received by the BCRUA such payments shall be further deposited into the Debt Service Fund
as required by this Resolution.
Section 10. DEBT SERVICE FUND. For purposes of providing funds to pay the
principal of and interest on the Bonds Similarly Secured as the same become due and payable, the
BCRUA agrees to maintain, at the Depository, a separate and special fund or account to be created
and known as the "Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority, Inc. City of Cedar Park, Texas
Contract Revenue Bonds (Brushy Creek Regional Water Treatment and Distribution Project), Debt
Service Fund" (the "Debt Service Fund"). The BCRUA covenants that there shall be deposited
into the Debt Service Fund prior to each principal and interest payment date solely from the
available Bond Payments made by Cedar Park pursuant to Section 9 of this Resolution an amount
equal to one hundred per cent (100%) of the amount required to fully pay the interest on and the
principal of the Bonds Similarly Secured then falling due and payable, such deposits to pay
maturing principal and accrued interest on the Bonds Similarly Secured to be made in substantially
equal monthly installments on or before the first day of each month. If the Bond Payments in any
month are insufficient to make the required payments into the Debt Service Fund, then the amount
of any deficiency in such payment shall be added to the amount otherwise required to be paid into
the Debt Service Fund in the next month.
The required monthly deposits to the Debt Service Fund for the payment of principal of
and interest on the Bonds Similarly Secured shall continue to be made as hereinabove provided
until such time as (i) the total amount on deposit in the Debt Service Fund is equal to the amount
required to fully pay and discharge all Outstanding Bonds Similarly Secured (principal and
interest) or (ii) the Bonds Similarly Secured are no longer Outstanding.
Any surplus proceeds from the sale of the Bonds, including investment income therefrom,
not expended for authorized purposes shall be deposited into the Debt Service Fund, and such
amounts (i.e., accrued and investment interest) so deposited into the Debt Service Fund shall
reduce the sum otherwise required to be deposited in the Debt Service Fund from Bond Payments.
Section 11. DEFICIENCIES - EXCESS BOND PAYMENTS. (a) Deficiencies. If
on any occasion there shall not be sufficient Bond Payments to make the required deposits into the
Debt Service Fund, then such deficiency shall be cured as soon as possible from the next available
unallocated Bond Payments and such payments shall be in addition to the amounts required to be
paid into these funds or accounts during such month or months.
BCRUA: CPhKRevRefBonds2016 12
(b) Excess Bond Payments Subject to making the required deposits to the Debt Service
Fund when and as required by this Resolution, any resolution authorizing the issuance of any
currently Outstanding Bonds Similarly Secured or any resolution authorizing the issuance of
Additional Bonds, any excess Bond Payments may be used by the BCRUA for any lawful purpose
including, but not limited to, the redemption of any Bonds Similarly Secured.
Section 12. PAYMENT OF BONDS. While any of the Bonds Similarly Secured are
Outstanding, the General Manager or other authorized BCRUA official, shall cause to be
transferred to the Paying Agent/Registrar therefor, from funds on deposit in the Debt Service Fund,
if necessary, amounts sufficient to fully pay and discharge promptly each installment of interest
on and principal of the Bonds Similarly Secured as such installment accrues or matures; such
transfer of funds must be made in such manner as will cause immediately available funds to be
deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds at the close of the Business Day next
preceding the date a debt service payment is due on the Bonds Similarly Secured.
Section 13. INVESTMENTS. Funds held in any fund or account created, established, or
maintained pursuant to this Resolution shall be invested as permitted by the provisions of the
BCRUA investment policy and the Public Funds Investment Act, as amended, Chapter 2256,
Texas Government Code and secured (to the extent not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation) to the fullest extent required by the Public Funds Collateral Act, as amended, Chapter
2257, Texas Government Code. All interest and income derived from deposits and investments
in any fund shall immediately be credited to, and any losses debited from, the fund from which
such funds were derived. All such investments shall be sold promptly when necessary to prevent
any default in connection with the Bonds.
Section 14. ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL BONDS. In addition to the right to issue
bonds of inferior lien as authorized by the laws of this State, the BCRUA reserves the right
hereafter to issue Additional Bonds. The Additional Bonds, when issued, shall be payable from
and secured by a lien on and pledge of the Bond Payments in the same manner and to the same
extent as the Bonds and the other Bonds Similarly Secured, and shall in all respects be of equal
dignity. The Additional Bonds may be issued in one or more series provided, however, that no
Additional Bonds, shall be issued unless and until the following conditions have been met:
(i) Except for a refunding to cure a default, the BCRUA is not then in default
as to any covenant, condition or obligation prescribed in the resolutions authorizing the
issuance of the Bonds Similarly Secured or the Contract (including any amendment or
supplement thereto) and the funds under the resolution authorizing the same contains the
amounts then required to be therein;
(ii) A consulting engineer certifies to the BCRUA the need for an estimated
amount of additional financing required for completion, expansion, enlargement or
improvement of the BCRUA Project as now or hereafter defined in the Contract; provided,
however this certification shall not be necessary for the issuance of any refunding bonds;
BCRUA: CP~Z,~RevReflBonds2016 13
(iii) Cedar Park, shall have approved the resolution(s) authorizing the issuance
of the Additional Bonds as to form and content and acknowledged that the payment of
principal of and interest on such Additional Bonds is payable, in whole or in part, from the
Bond Payments to be made to the BCRUA under and pursuant to the Contract;
(iv) The resolution authorizing the issuance of the Additional Bonds provides
for deposits to be made to the Debt Service Fund in amounts sufficient to pay the principal
of and interest on such Additional Bonds as the same become due; and
(v) Based upon an opinion of legal counsel to the BCRUA that there are legal,
valid and bindings contracts then in effect pursuant to which Cedar Park and others, if any,
which are parties to such contracts are obligated to make payments to the BCRUA during
each fiscal year (including periods when services of the BCRUA Project may not be
available to such contracting parties and others) in such amounts as shall be necessary to
provide to the BCRUA sufficient funds to pay when due all principal and interest on all
Bonds, Additional Bonds and other Bonds Similarly Secured to be Outstanding after the
issuance of the proposed Additional Bonds.
The Bonds Similarly Secured may be refunded (pursuant to any law then available) upon
such terms and conditions as the Board of the BCRUA may deem to be in the best interest of the
BCRUA; provided, however, such refunding bonds do not have to comply with paragraph (ii) of
this Section 14.
Section 15. SPECIAL PROJECT BONDS. The BCRUA further reserves the right to
issue bonds in one or more installments for the purchase, construction, improvement, extension,
replacement, enlargement or repair of utility facilities necessary under a contract or contracts with
persons, corporations, municipal corporations, political subdivisions, or entities including Cedar
Park, such bonds to be payable from and secured by the proceeds of such contract or contracts
(other than the Contract). The BCRUA further reserves the right to refund such bonds and secure
the payment of the debt service requirements on the refunding bonds in the same manner or as
otherwise permitted by the laws of the State.
Section 16. MAINTENANCE OF BCRUA PROJECT - INSURANCE. The
BCRUA covenants, agrees, and affirms its covenants that while the Bonds Similarly Secured
remain outstanding it will maintain and operate the BCRUA Project with all possible efficiency
and maintain casualty and other insurance on the properties of the BCRUA Project and its
operations of a kind and in such amounts customarily carried by municipal corporations in the
State engaged in a similar type of business (which must be in an amount sufficient to protect the
interest of the Registered Owners of the Bonds Similarly Secured in the BCRUA Project); and that
it will faithfully and punctually perform all duties with reference to the BCRUA Project required
by the laws of the State. All money received from losses under such insurance policies, other
than public liability policies, shall be retained for the benefit of the Registered Owners of the Bonds
Similarly Secured until and unless the proceeds are paid out in making good the loss or damage in
respect of which such proceeds are received, either by replacing the property destroyed or repairing
BCRUA: CPW~RevRefBonds2016 14
the property damaged, and adequate provision for making good such loss or damage must be made
within ninety (90) days after the date of loss. The payment of premiums for all insurance policies
required under the provisions hereof shall be considered Maintenance and Operating Expenses of
the BCRUA Project. Nothing in this Resolution shall be construed as requiring the BCRUA to
expend any funds which are derived from sources other than the operation of the BCRUA Project
but nothing herein shall be construed as preventing the BCRUA from doing so.
Section 17. RECORDS AND ACCOUNTS - ANNUAL AUDIT. The BCRUA
covenants, agrees, and affirms its covenants that so long as any of the Bonds Similarly Secured
remain Outstanding, it will keep and maintain separate and complete records and accounts
pertaining to the operations of the BCRUA Project in which complete and correct entries shall be
made of all transactions relating thereto as provided by applicable law. The Registered Owners of
any Bonds Similarly Secured or any duly authorized agent or agents of such Registered Owners
shall have the right to inspect the BCRUA Project and all properties comprising the same. The
BCRUA further agrees that following (and in no event later than six (6) months after) the close of
each Fiscal Year, it will cause an audit of such books and accounts to be made by an independent
firm of Certified Public Accountants. The BCRUA will provide such the annual audit performed
by an independent firm of Certified Public Accountants as set forth in Section 30 of this
Resolution. Expenses incurred in making the annual audit of the operations of the BCRUA
Project are to be regarded as Maintenance and Operating Expenses of the BCRUA Project.
Section 18. SALE OR ENCUMBRANCE OF BCRUA PROJECT. While any Bonds
remain Outstanding, the BCRUA will not sell, dispose of or further encumber the BCRUA Project
or any substantial part thereof; provided, however, that this provision shall not prevent the BCRUA
from (i) pledging the Bond Payments to Additional Bonds or Special Project Bonds as set forth in
Sections 14 and 15 of this Resolution or (ii) disposing of any part of the B CRUA Project which is
being replaced or is deemed by the BCRUA to be obsolete, worn out, surplus or no longer needed
for the proper operation of the BCRUA Project. Any agreement pursuant to which the BCRUA
contracts with a person, corporation, municipal corporation or political subdivision to operate the
BCRUA Project or to lease and/or operate all or part of the BCRUA Project shall not be considered
as an encumbrance of the BCRUA Project; provided, however, no such agreement shall impair the
pledge and lien on the Bond Payments.
Section 19. COMPETITION. To the extent it legally may, the BCRUA will not grant
any franchise or permit for the acquisition, construction or operation of any competing facilities
which might be used as a substitute for the BCRUA Project and will prohibit the operation of any
such competing facilities.

imposed upon it, or its BCRUA Project, and it will pay all lawful claims for rents, royalties, labor,
materials, and supplies which if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon its BCRUA
Project, provided, however, that no such tax, assessment, or charge, and that no such claims which
might be or other lien or charge, shall be required to be paid while the validity of the same shall
be contested in good faith by the BCRUA.

undertakings, stipulations, and provisions contained in the resolutions authorizing the issuance of

Policy for the Bonds, the Insurer shall be deemed to be the sole Registered Owner of such
Bonds insured by it for purposes of enforcing remedies in the Event of Default under this
Resolution.
BCRUA: CPkKRevRefBonds2016 17
(c) Remedies Not Exclusive.
(i) No remedy herein conferred or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other
available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Bonds or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other
provision of this Resolution, the right to accelerate the debt evidenced by the Bonds shall
not be available as a remedy under this Resolution.
(ii) The exercise of any remedy herein conferred or reserved shall not be deemed
a waiver of any other available remedy.
(iii) By accepting the delivery of a Bond authorized under this Resolution, such
Registered Owner agrees that the certifications required to effectuate any covenants or
representations contained in this Resolution do not and shall never constitute or give rise
to a personal or pecuniary liability or charge against the officers, employees or trustees of
the BCRUA or the Board.
(iv) None of the members of the Board of Directors, nor any other official or
officer, agent, or employee of the BCRUA, shall be charged personally by the Registered

of Default under this Resolution.
Section 23. AMENDMENT OF RESOLUTION. (a) Amendments Without Consent.
This Resolution and the rights and obligations of the Board and of the Registered Owners of the
Bonds may be modified or amended at any time without notice to or the consent of any Registered
Owner of the Bonds or any Bond Similarly Secured, solely for any one or more of the following

Resolution, other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, or to surrender any
right or power reserved to or conferred upon the Board in this Resolution;
(ii) To cure any ambiguity or inconsistency, or to cure or correct any defective
provisions contained in this Resolution, upon receipt by the Board of an opinion of counsel,

Agreement, or change the form of the Bonds or make such other changes in the provisions

Bonds;
(iv) To make any changes or amendments requested by any bond rating agency then

(v) To make such changes, modifications or amendments as are permitted by
Section 30(c)(v) of this Resolution;
(vi) To make such other changes in the provisions hereof as the Board may deem

Registered Owners of Outstanding Bonds aggregating 51% in Outstanding principal amount shall
have the right from time to time to approve any amendment, other than amendments described in
Subsection (a) of this Section, to this Resolution which may be deemed necessary or desirable by
the Board; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall permit or be construed to permit,
without the approval of the owners of all of the Outstanding Bonds, the amendment of the terms
and conditions in this Resolution or in the Bonds so as to:
(i) Make any change in the maturity of the Outstanding Bonds;
(ii) Reduce the rate of interest borne by the Outstanding Bonds;

BCRUA: CP~K.RevRefl~londs2016 19
proposed amendment and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at the principal office of the
Paying Agent/Registrar for inspection by all owners of Bonds. Such publication is not required,
however, if the Board gives or causes to be given such notice in writing to each Registered Owner
of Bonds.
(ii) In the event S&P and/or Moody’s maintains a rating on the Bonds, copies of any
modification or amendment to this Resolution shall be sent to S&P and/or Moody’s, as applicable,
at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date thereof.
(d) Receipt of Consents. Whenever at any time not less than thirty (30) days, and within
one (1) year, from the date of the first publication of said notice or other service of written notice
of the proposed amendment the Board shall receive an instrument or instruments executed by all
of the owners or the owners of at least 51% in Outstanding principal amount of Bonds, as
appropriate, which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed amendment described in
said notice and which specifically consent to and approve such amendment in substantially the
form of the copy thereof on file as aforesaid, the Board may adopt the amendatory resolution in
substantially the same form.
(e) Effect of Amendments. Upon the adoption by the Board of any resolution to amend
this Resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Section, this Resolution shall be deemed to be
amended in accordance with the amendatory resolution, and the respective rights, duties, and
obligations of the Board and all the owners of then Outstanding Bonds and all future Bonds shall
thereafter be determined, exercised, and enforced under the resolution and this Resolution, as
amended.
(f) Consent Irrevocable. Any consent given by any owner of Bonds pursuant to the
provisions of this Section shall be irrevocable for a period of six (6) months from the date of the
first publication or other service of the notice provided for in this Section, and shall be conclusive
and binding upon all future owners of the same Bonds during such period. Such consent may be
revoked at any time after six (6) months from the date of the first publication of such notice by the
owner who gave such consent, or by a successor in title, by filing notice thereof with the Registrar
and the Board, but such revocation shall not be effective if the owners of 51% in Outstanding
principal amount of Bonds, prior to the attempted revocation, consented to and approved the
amendment.
(g) Ownership. For the purpose of this Section, the ownership and other matters relating
to all Bonds registered as to ownership shall be determined from the Registration Books kept by
the Paying Agent/Registrar therefor. The Paying Agent/Registrar may conclusively assume that
such ownership continues until written notice to the contrary is served upon the Paying
Agent/Registrar.
(h) Insurer Consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, so long as
any Insurer is not in payment default under its policy, no amendment or supplement to this
BCRUA: CPLKRevRefBonds2016 20

Insurer.
Section 24. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX-EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON
THE TAX-EXEMPT BONDS. (a) Covenants. The Board covenants to take any action
necessary to assure, or refrain from any action which would adversely affect, the treatment of the
Tax-Exempt Bonds as obligations described in section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), the interest on which is not includable in the "gross income" of the holder
for purposes of federal income taxation. In furtherance thereof, the Board covenants as follows:
(1) to use all proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Bonds for the payment of principal,
interest and redemption premium, if any, on the Refunded Obligations;
(2) to take any action to assure that no more than ten percent (10%) of the proceeds
of the Bonds or the Refunded Obligations or the projects financed or refinanced therewith
(less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business use,"
as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than ten percent (10%) of the
proceeds of the Bonds or the Refunded Obligations or the projects financed or refinanced
therewith are so used, such amounts, whether or not received by the Board, with respect to
such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Resolution or any underlying
arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than ten
percent (10%) of the debt service on the Bonds, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of
the Code;
(3) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use"
described in subsection (2) hereof exceeds five percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Bonds
or the Refunded Obligations or the projects financed or refinanced therewith (less amounts
deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of five percent (5%) is used
for a "private business use" which is "related" and not "disproportionate," within the
meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use;
(4) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of
$5,000,000, or five percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Bonds (less amounts deposited into
a reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than
state or local governmental units, in contravention of section 141 (c) of the Code;
(5) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Bonds
being treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 (b) of the Code;
(6) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Bonds being
"federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
(7) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, directly or
indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire
BCRUA: CPLKRevRefBonds2016 21
investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces a
materially higher yield over the term of the Bonds, other than investment property acquired
with --
(A) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period of
3 years or less or, in the case of a refunding bond, for a period of 90 days or less
for current refundings and 30 days or less for advance refundings until such
proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds are issued,
(B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service funds, within the
meaning of section 1.148-1 (b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement
funds to the extent such amounts do not exceed ten percent (10%) of the proceeds
of the Bonds;
(8) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated
as proceeds of the Bonds, as may be necessary, so that the Bonds do not otherwise
contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the
extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings); and
(9) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year
period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Bonds) an amount that is at least equal to
90 percent of the "Excess Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(0 of the Code and
to 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 as a result of Excess
Earnings under section 148(0 of the Code.
(b) Rebate Account. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant in
subsection (a)(9), a "Rebate Account" is hereby established by the Board for the sole benefit of the
United States of America, and such fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person,
including without limitation the bondholders. The Rebate Account is established for the
additional purpose of compliance with section 148 of the Code.
(c) Proceeds. The Board understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition
proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred
proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds expended prior to the date of issuance of the
Bonds. It is the understanding of the Board that the covenants contained herein are intended to
assure compliance with the Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter
promulgated which modify or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Bonds, the Board
will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the extent that such failure
to comply, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, will not adversely affect the
exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code.
BCRUA: CP~RevRefBonds2016 22
In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which impose additional
requirements which are applicable to the Bonds, the Board agrees to comply with the additional
requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, to
preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103
of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the Board hereby authorizes and directs the BCRUA
Representative to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to make
such elections, on behalf of the Board, which may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with
the purpose for the issuance of the Bonds. This Resolution is intended to satisfy the official intent
requirements set forth in Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations.
(d) Disposition of Project. The BCRUA covenants that the property constituting the
BCRUA Project will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by
the Board of cash or other compensation, unless the Board obtains an opinion of nationally-
recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt
status of the Bonds. For purposes of this subsection, the portion of the property comprising
personal property and disposed of in the ordinary course shall not be treated as a transaction
resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes of this subsection, the Board
shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized
bond counsel to the effect that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability
for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest.
(e) Taxable Bonds. In connection with the issuance of any Taxable Bonds, the BCRUA
Representative may establish additional accounts or funds as necessary to distinguish Taxable
Bond proceeds from Tax-Exempt Bond proceeds.
Section 25. RESOLUTION TO CONSTITUTE A CONTRACT; EQUAL
SECURITY. In consideration of the acceptance of the Bonds, the issuance of which is authorized
hereunder, by those who shall hold the same from time to time, this Resolution shall be deemed to
be and shall constitute a contract between the Board and the Registered Owners from time to time
of the Bonds and the pledge made in this Resolution by the Board and the covenants and
agreements set forth in this Resolution to be performed by the Board shall be for the equal and
proportionate benefit, security, and protection of all Registered Owners, without preference,
priority, or distinction as to security or otherwise of any of the Bonds authorized hereunder over
any of the others by reason of time of issuance, sale, or maturity thereof or otherwise for any cause
whatsoever, except as expressly provided in or permitted by this Resolution.
Section 26. SEVERABILITY OF INVALID PROVISIONS. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, or provisions herein contained shall be held contrary to any express
provisions of law or contrary to the policy of express law, though not expressly prohibited, or
against public policy, or shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such covenants,
agreements, or provisions shall be null and void and shall be deemed separable from the remaining
covenants, agreements, or provisions and shall in no way affect the validity of any of the other
provisions hereof or of the Bonds issued hereunder.
BCRUA: CPLKRevRefBonds2016 23
Section 27. PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE ON BUSINESS DAYS. Except as
provided to the contrary in the FORM OF BOND, whenever under the terms of this Resolution or
the Bonds, the performance date of any provision hereof or thereof, including the payment of
principal of or interest on the Bonds, shall occur on a day other than a Business Day, then the
performance thereof, including the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds, need not be
made on such day but may be performed or paid, as the case may be, on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of performance or payment.
Section 28. LIMITATION OF BENEFITS WITH RESPECT TO THE
RESOLUTION. With the exception of the rights or benefits herein expressly conferred, nothing
expressed or contained herein or implied from the provisions of this Resolution or the Bonds is
intended or should be construed to confer upon or give to any person other than the Board, the
Registered Owners, and the Paying Agent/Registrar, any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim
under or by reason of or in respect to this Resolution or any covenant, condition, stipulation,
promise, agreement, or provision herein contained. This Resolution and all of the covenants,
conditions, stipulations, promises, agreements, and provisions hereof are intended to be and shall
be for and inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of the Board, the Registered Owners, and the
Paying Agent/Registrar as herein and therein provided.
Section 29. CUSTODY, APPROVAL, BOND COUNSEL’S OPINION, CUSIP
NUMBERS, PREAMBLE AND INSURANCE. The BCRUA Representative is hereby
authorized to have control of the Bonds issued hereunder and all necessary records and proceedings
pertaining to the Bonds pending their delivery and approval by the Attorney General of the State.
The BCRUA Representative is hereby authorized, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable
thereby, in the discretion thereof, to request that the Attorney General approve the Bonds as
permitted by Chapter 1202, Texas Government Code, in which case the BCRUA Representative
also is authorized to request the Comptroller of Public Accounts register the Bonds, and to cause
an appropriate legend reflecting such approval and registration to appear on the Bonds and the
substitute Bonds. The approving legal opinion of the Board’s Bond Counsel and the assigned
CUSIP numbers may, at the option of the Board, be printed on the Bonds and on any Bonds issued
and delivered in 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. The
preamble to this Resolution is hereby adopted and made a part of this Resolution for all purposes.
If insurance is obtained on any of the Bonds, the Bonds shall bear, as appropriate and applicable,
a legend concerning insurance as provided by the municipal bond insurance company issuing any
such insurance.

(c) Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments. (i) The Board shall be obligated to
observe and perform the covenants specified in this Section for so long as, but only for so long as,
the Board remains an "obligated person" with respect to the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule,
except that the Board in any event will give notice of any deposit made in accordance with this
Resolution or applicable law that causes the Bonds no longer to be Outstanding.
(ii) The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the Registered Owners
and beneficial owners of the Bonds, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall
give any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder to any other
person. The Board undertakes to provide only the financial information, operating data,
financial statements, and notices which it has expressly agreed to provide pursuant to this
Section and does not hereby undertake to provide any other information that may be
relevant or material to a complete presentation of the Board’s financial results, condition,
or prospects or hereby undertake to update any information provided in accordance with
this Section or otherwise, except as expressly provided herein. The Board does not make
any representation or warranty concerning such information or its usefulness to a decision
to invest in or sell Bonds at any future date.
(iii) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE BOARD BE LIABLE TO
THE REGISTERED OWNER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY BOND OR ANY
BCRUA: CPkKRevRefBonds2016 26
OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN
WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE BOARD, WHETHER
NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT
SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, 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. NOTHING IN THIS RESOLUTION SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS
A WAIVER OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL, STATUTORY OR COMMON LAW
IMMUNITIES OR DEFENSES OF THE BOARD, WHICH IMMUNITIES AND
DEFENSES ARE HEREBY AND HERETO AFFIRMED.
(v) No default by the Board in observing or performing its obligations under this
Section shall comprise a breach of or default under this Resolution for purposes of any
other provision of this Resolution. Should the Rule be amended to obligate the Board to
make filings with or provide notices to entities other than the MSRB, the Board hereby
agrees to undertake such obligation with respect to the Bonds in accordance with the Rule
as amended. Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or
otherwise limit the duties of the Board under federal and state securities laws.
(vi) The provisions of this Section may be amended by the Board 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 Board, but
only if (1) the provisions of this Section, as so amended, would have permitted an
underwriter to purchase or sell Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds in compliance
with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule since
such offering 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 Bonds
then outstanding consent to such amendment or (b) a person that is unaffiliated with the
Board (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determined that such amendment will
not materially impair the interest of the registered owners and beneficial owners of the
Bonds. If the Board so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include with any
amended financial information or operating data next provided in accordance with
subsection (a) of this Section an explanation, in narrative form, of the reason for the
amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of financial information or
operating data so provided. The Board may also amend or repeal the provisions of this
continuing disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable provision of
the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that such provisions of the Rule are
invalid, but only if and to the extent that the provisions of this sentence would not prevent
an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds in the primary offering of the
Bonds.
(d) Subsequent Amendments. Cedar Park has agreed pursuant to Article X of the
Contract to provide continuing disclosure of certain financial and operating data so long as the
BCRUA: CPkKRevRefBonds2016 27
Bonds are Outstanding. To the extent necessary to allow an underwriter to lawfully purchase or
sell Bonds in a primary offering, Cedar Park will additionally undertake to provide continuing
disclosure of certain financial and operating data so long as the Bonds are Outstanding in
accordance with any subsequent amendments by the SEC to the Rule at the time of such primary
offering.
Section 31. APPLICATION OF BOND PROCEEDS. Proceeds from the sale of the
Bonds shall, promptly upon receipt thereof, be applied by the BCRUA Representative as follows:
(i) any underwriting discount or fees may be retained by and/or wired directly to such parties; (ii)
any accrued interest shall be deposited to the Debt Service Fund as provided in Section 10; (iii) an
amount sufficient to provide for the refunding of the Refunded Obligations shall be deposited with
the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to refund the Refunded Obligations; and (iv)
an amount sufficient to pay the remaining costs of issuance of the Bonds shall be deposited to a
bond proceeds account, if needed, to be used for such purpose. Any sale proceeds of the Bonds
remaining after making all deposits and payments provided for above shall be deposited to the
Debt Service Fund as provided in Section 10 and applied to the payment of interest on the Bonds.
Section 32. DEFEASANCE PROVISIONS. (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 subsections (c) and (e) of this Section,
when payment of the principal of such Bond, plus interest thereon to the due date or dates (whether
such due date or dates 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 the establishment of irrevocable provisions for the giving
of such notice) or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such due date by irrevocably
depositing with or making available to the Paying Agent/Registrar or an eligible trust company or
commercial bank for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to
make such payment, (2) Defeasance Securities, certified by an independent public accounting firm
of national reputation to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as
will ensure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide for such payment
and when proper arrangements have been made by the BCRUA with the Paying Agent/Registrar
or an eligible trust company or commercial bank for the payment of its services until all Defeased
Bonds shall have become due and payable or (3) any combination of(l) and (2). 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 Bond
Payments as provided in this Resolution, and such principal and interest shall be payable solely
from such money or Defeasance Securities, and thereafter the BCRUA will have no further
responsibility with respect to amounts available to such Paying Agent/Registrar (or other financial
institution permitted by applicable law) for the payment of such Defeased Bond, including any
insufficiency therein caused by the failure of the Paying Agent/Registrar (or other financial
institution permitted by law) to receive payment when due on the Defeasance Bond.
(b) The deposit under clause (ii) of subsection (a) shall be deemed a payment of a Bond
as aforesaid when proper notice of redemption of such Bonds shall have been given or upon the
BCRUA: CPLKRevRefBonds2016 2 8
establishment of irrevocable provisions for the giving of such notice, in accordance with this
Resolution. Any money so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar or an eligible trust
company or commercial bank as provided in this Section may at the discretion of the BCRUA also
be invested in Defeasance Securities, maturing in the amounts and at the times as hereinbefore set
forth, and all income from all Defeasance Securities in possession of the Paying Agent/Registrar
or an eligible trust company or commercial bank pursuant to this Section which is not required for
the payment of such Bond and premium, if any, and interest thereon with respect to which such
money has been so deposited, shall be remitted to the BCRUA.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of any other Section of this Resolution which may be
contrary to the provisions of this Section, all money or Defeasance Securities set aside and held in
trust pursuant to the provisions of this Section for the payment of principal of the Bonds and
premium, if any, and interest thereon, shall be applied to and used solely for the payment of the
particular Bonds and premium, if any, and interest thereon, with respect to which such money or
Defeasance Securities have been so set aside in trust. 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 BCRUA shall make
