Section 24. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX-EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON
THE BONDS. (a) Covenants. The BCRUA covenants to take any action necessary to assure,
or refrain from any action which would adversely affect,the treatment of the Bonds as obligations
described in section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended(the "IRS 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 BCRUA covenants as follows:
(1)to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Bonds 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
IRS Code or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the projects financed
or refinanced therewith are so used,such amounts,whether or not received by the BCRUA,
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 10 percent of the debt service on the Bonds, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of
the IRS Code;
(2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use"
described in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the
projects financed or refinanced therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if
any) then the amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a "private business use" which is
"related" and not "disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the IRS
Code, to the governmental use;
(3) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of
$5,000,000,or 5 percent 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 IRS Code;
(4) 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 IRS
Code;
(5)to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Bonds being "federally
guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the IRS Code;
(6) 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
investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the IRS 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 until
such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds are issued,
20
BCRUA I Round Rock 20241 Bond Resolution TWDB
(B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning
of section 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement
fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed ten (10) percent of the proceeds of
the Bonds;
(7) 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 IRS Code(relating to arbitrage);
(8) to refrain from using the proceeds of the Bonds or proceeds of any prior bonds
to pay debt service on another issue more than 90 days after the date of issue of the Bonds
in contravention of the requirements of section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance
refundings);
(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(f)of the IRS Code and
to pay to the United States of America, not later than sixty (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(f) of the IRS Code;
(10)to file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury,not later than the
15th day of the second calendar month after the close of the calendar quarter in which the
Bonds are issued, an information statement concerning the Bonds, all under and in
accordance with section 149(e) of the Code and the applicable Regulations promulgated
thereunder; and
(b)Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant(9),a"Rebate
Fund" is hereby established by the BCRUA 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 Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with
section 148 of the IRS Code.
(c) Proceeds. The BCRUA 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 BCRUA that the covenants contained herein are intended to
assure compliance with the IRS 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 IRS Code, as applicable to the Bonds, the
BCRUA 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 IRS
21
BCRUA I Round Rock 2024 1 Bond Resolution TWDB
Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which impose additional
requirements which are applicable to the Bonds,the BCRUA 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 IRS Code. In furtherance of such intention, the BCRUA hereby authorizes and directs the
BCRUA Representative to execute any documents,certificates or reports required by the IRS Code
and to make such elections,on behalf of the BCRUA,which may be permitted by the IRS 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) Allocation of, and Limitation on, Expenditures for the Project. The BCRUA
covenants to account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings to be used for
the purposes described in Section 2 of this Resolution(the "Project") on its books and records in
accordance with the requirements of the IRS Code. The BCRUA recognizes that in order for the
proceeds to be considered used for the reimbursement of costs, the proceeds must be allocated to
expenditures within 18 months of the later of the date that(1) the expenditure is made, or(2)the
Project is completed; but in no event later than three years after the date on which the original
expenditure is paid. The foregoing notwithstanding, the BCRUA recognizes that in order for
proceeds to be expended under the IRS Code, the sale proceeds or investment earnings must be
expended no more than sixty (60) days after the earlier of(1) the fifth (5ffi) anniversary of the
delivery of the Bonds,or(2)the date the Bonds are retired.The BCRUA agrees to obtain the advice
of nationally-recognized bond counsel if such expenditure fails to comply with the foregoing to
assure that such expenditure will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. For
purposes of this subsection, the BCRUA 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) 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 BCRUA of cash or other compensation, unless the BCRUA 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
BCRUA 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.
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 BCRUA and the Registered Owners from time to
time of the Bonds and the pledge made in this Resolution by the BCRUA and the covenants and
agreements set forth in this Resolution to be performed by the BCRUA shall be for the equal and
proportionate benefit, security, and protection of all Registered Owners, without preference,

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.
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 BCRUA, 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 BCRUA, the Registered Owners, and the
Paying Agent/Registrar as herein and therein provided.

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 BCRUA Representative is hereby authorized to execute the engagement
letter submitted herewith for McCall, Parkhurst& Horton L.L.P. to serve as the BCRUA's Bond
Counsel for the issuance of the Bonds.The approving legal opinion of the BCRUA's Bond Counsel
and the assigned CUSIP numbers may, at the option of the BCRUA, 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

BCRUA I Round Rock 2024 1 Bond Resolution TWDB
The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the holders 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 BCRUA 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 BCRUA'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 BCRUA
makes no representation or warranty concerning such information or its usefulness to a decision to
invest in or sell Bonds at any future date.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE BCRUA BE LIABLE TO THE HOLDER
OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY BOND OR ANY OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR
TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY
THE BCRUA,WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR WITH 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.
No default by the BCRUA in observing or performing its obligations under this Section
shall constitute a breach of or default under this Resolution for purposes of any other provision of
this Resolution.
Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise limit the
duties of the BCRUA under federal and state securities laws.
The provisions of this Section may be amended by the BCRUA 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 BCRUA, 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 to the date of such amendment as well as such changed
circumstances, and (2) either (a)the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds consent to such amendment or(b)a person that is unaffiliated with the BCRUA
(such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determines that such amendment will not materially
impair the interests of the holders and beneficial owners of the Bonds. The BCRUA may also
repeal or amend the provisions of this Section if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable
provisions of the Rule or any court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that such provisions of the
Rule are invalid, and the BCRUA also may amend the provisions of this Section in its discretion
in any other manner or circumstance,but in either case only if and to the extent that the provisions
of this sentence would not have prevented an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling
Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds,giving effect to(i)such provisions as so amended and
(ii) any amendments or interpretations of the Rule. If the BCRUA so amends the provisions of
this Section, the BCRUA shall include with any amended financial information or operating data
next provided in accordance with this subsection (a) of this Section an explanation, in narrative
