ARTICLE VI SECURITY OF THE BONDS Section 6.1 Security of Bonds. The Bonds are secured by and payable from the levy of a continuing,direct annual ad valorem tax,without limit as to rate or amount,upon all taxable property within the District, and are further secured by and payable from a lien on and pledge of certain Net Revenues(as defined below)of the District's System. Section 6.2 Levy of Tax. To pay the interest on the Bonds,and to create a sinking fund for the payment of the principal thereof when due,and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such taxes, there is hereby levied,and shall be assessed and collected in due time,a continuing,direct annual ad valorem tax,without limit as to rate or amount,on all taxable property in the District for each year while any of the Bonds are outstanding. All of the proceeds of such collections,except expenses incurred in that connection, shall be paid into the Debt Service Fund,and the aforementioned tax and such payments into such fund shall continue until the Bonds and the interest thereon have been fully paid and discharged, and such proceeds shall be used for such purposes and no other. While said Bonds,or any of them,are outstanding and unpaid, an ad valorem tax each year at a rate from year to year as will be ample and sufficient to provide funds to pay the interest on said Bonds and to provide the necessary sinking fund to pay the principal when due, full allowance being made for delinquencies and costs of collection,shall be levied,assessed,and collected and applied to the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds. In determining the amount of taxes which should be levied each year,the Board of Directors may consider whether proceeds from the sale of Bonds have been placed in escrow to pay interest during construction and whether the Board of Directors reasonably expects to have revenue or receipts available from other sources which are legally available to pay principal of or interest or redemption price on the Bonds. Section 6.3 Net Revenue Pledge as Additional Security. (a) For purposes of this Section the following terms shall have the following definitions: (i) The term"Maintenance and Operation Expenses"shall mean the expenses necessary to provide for the administration, efficient operation and adequate maintenance of the System together with such other costs and expenses as may now or hereafter be defined by law as proper Maintenance and Operation Expenses of the System; and (ii) The term"Net Revenues"shall mean all income derived from the ownership and operation of the System after deducting the Maintenance and Operation Expenses and providing for the funding of any operating reserve from time to time established by the Board. (b) In order to further secure the Bonds, the District hereby grants a lien on and pledge of the District's Net Revenues. Such Net Revenues,as herein provided, are hereby pledged to the payment of the 23 principal, interest,redemption price and bank charges of the Bonds. If at any time ad valorem taxes levied and collected for the payment thereof,together with other amounts in the Debt Service Fund,are insufficient for such purpose,the District shall transfer to the Debt Service Fund such available Net Revenues as shall be necessary to provide(together with other amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Fund)for the payment of principal, interest,redemption price and bank charges of the Bonds;provided,however,that no transfers of revenues shall be made to the Debt Service Fund by the District until all Maintenance and Operation Expenses,including the cost of maintaining an operating reserve, shall have been paid by the District. The District reserves the right to apply Net Revenues not required for current payments of principal, interest, redemption price and bank charges of the Bonds for any lawful purpose of the District. Notwithstanding the foregoing,no revenues generated from maintenance taxes shall be included in Net Revenues or used to make payments on the Bonds. (c) The pledge of the Net Revenues hereunder is on a parity with the pledge of the Net Revenues made to secure the obligations relating to the Series 1994 Refunding Bonds and the Series 1999 Bonds. The District reserves the right to issue Additional Bonds and incur obligations secured in whole or in part by a lien on and pledge of Net Revenues on a parity with or subordinate to the lien on and pledge of Net Revenues securing the Bonds, and to apply such Net Revenues to the payment of such Additional Bonds and obligations on a parity with or subordinate to the Bonds. (d) The District is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Round Rock, Texas(the"City"). The City has the right to annex and dissolve the District. At such time,the obligations of the District payable in whole or in part from ad valorem taxes shall become obligations of the City, and the governing body of the City is thereafter required to levy and cause to be collected taxes on all taxable property within the City sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the obligations of the District so assumed by the City. In order to allow the City to integrate the District's System into the City's water and sewer system,the City may terminate the pledge of and lien on the Net Revenues of the District's System to the payment of the Bonds. The City may under certain circumstances annex but not dissolve the District in which case the District may continue to provide retail water and wastewater service and the maintenance of parks and recreation areas. (e) The laws permit the District to be consolidated with one or more conservation and reclamation districts. In the event the District is consolidated with another district or districts,the District reserves the right to: (i) consolidate the System with a similar system of one or more districts with which the District is consolidating and operate and maintain the systems as one consolidated system (the "Consolidated System"); (ii) apply the net revenues from the operation of the Consolidated System to the payment of principal, interest, redemption price and bank charges on the Bonds and any other combination tax and revenue bonds or bonds or other obligations secured solely or primarily by such net revenues (the "Revenue Bonds") of the District and of the district or districts with which the District is consolidating(herein collectively,the"Consolidating Districts")without preference to any series of bonds(except subordinate lien revenue bonds which shall be subordinate to the Revenue Bonds of the Consolidating Districts); or (iii) pledge the net revenues of the Consolidated System to the payment of principal, interest, redemption price and bank charges on any Revenue Bonds which may be issued by the 24 Consolidating Districts on a parity with the outstanding Revenue Bonds of the Consolidating Districts.

(vii) 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 refunding); (viii) Except to the extent otherwise provided in section 148(f) of the Code and the regulations and rulings thereunder,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%of the "Excess Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(f)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%of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section 148(f)of the Code;and (ix) To maintain such records as will enable the District to fulfill its responsibilities under this subsection and section 148 of the Code and to retain such records for at least six years following the final payment of principal and interest on the Bonds.

All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be paid by the District. However, the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of the numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by the Initial Purchaser.

Legal Opinions . . . The District will furnish the Initial Purchaser a transcript of certain proceedings held incident to the authorization and issuance of the Bonds, including a certified copy or original of the approving opinion of the Attorney General of Texas,as recorded in the Bond Register of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas,to the effect that the Bonds are valid and binding obligations of the District,payable from the proceeds of an annual ad valorem tax levied, without limit as to rate or amount, upon all taxable property within the District and from a pledge of and lien on certain net revenues, if any, of the District's water, sanitary sewer and drainage system(the "System"). The District also will furnish the legal opinion of Winstead Sechrest & Minick P.C., Bond Counsel, to the effect that, based upon an examination of such transcript,(1)the Bonds are valid and legally binding obligations of the District payable from the sources and enforceable in accordance with the terms and conditions described therein,except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights or the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity,(2)the Bonds are payable,both as to principal and interest, from the levy of ad valorem taxes,without limitation as to rate or amount,against taxable property within the District and net revenues, if any,the District receives in connection with the System,and(3)pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the "Code") then in effect and existing law and assuming continuing compliance by the District with the provisions of the Bond Order, the interest on the Bonds will be excludable from gross income, and will not be subject to the alternative minimum tax on individuals for federal income tax purposes. The statutes,regulations, rulings,and court decisions on which such opinion is based are subject to change. Neither the opinion of the Attorney General nor the opinion of Bond Counsel will express any opinion or make any comment with respect to the sufficiency of the security for or the marketability of the Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel is expected to be reproduced on the back panel of the definitive Bonds over a certification by the facsimile signature of the Secretary of the Board attesting that such reproduction is a true and correct copy of the original opinion. The failure to print such legal opinion on any Bond shall not constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the Initial Purchaser to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds. Certification of Issue Price. .. In order to provide the District with information required to enable it to comply with certain conditions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to the exemption of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of their owners, the Initial Purchaser will be required to complete, execute, and deliver to the District (on or before the date of delivery of the Bonds) a certification as to the "issue price" of the Bonds substantially in the form accompanying this "Notice of Sale"of the Bonds. In the event the successful bidder will not re-offer the Bonds for sale or is unable to sell a substantial amount of the Bonds of any maturity by the date of delivery,such certificate may be modified in a manner approved by the District and Bond Counsel. Each bidder, by submitting its bid, agrees to complete, execute, and deliver such a certificate by the date of delivery of the Bonds, if its bid is accepted by the District. It will be the responsibility of the Initial Purchaser to institute such syndicate reporting requirements,to make such investigation,or otherwise to ascertain the facts necessary to enable it to make such certification with reasonable certainty. Any questions concerning such certification should be directed to Bond Counsel. In no event will the District fail to deliver the Bonds as a result of the Initial Purchaser's inability to sell a substantial amount of the Bonds at a particular price prior to delivery. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations for Financial Institutions . . . Section 265(a) of the Code provides, in pertinent part, that interest paid or incurred by a taxpayer, including a "financial institution," on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations is not deductible by such taxpayer in determining taxable income. Section 265(b)of the Code provides an exception to the disallowance of such deduction for any interest expense paid or incurred on indebtedness of a taxpayer which is a "financial institution" allocable to tax-exempt obligations, other than "private activity bonds," which are designated by an "qualified small issuer" as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." A "qualified small issuer" is any governmental issuer (together with any subordinate issuers) who issues no more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations during the calendar year. Section 265(b)(5)of the Code defines the term "financial institution" as referring to any corporation described in section 585(a)(2)of the Code,or any person accepting deposits from the public in the ordinary course of such person's trade or business which is subject to federal or state supervision as a financial institution. The District expects to designate the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of section 265(b)of the Code. In furtherance of that designation,the District will covenant to take such action which would assure or to refrain from such action which would adversely affect the treatment of the Bonds as "qualified tar-exempt obligations." Potential purchasers should be aware that if the issue price to the public (or, in the case of discount bonds, the amount payable at maturity) exceeds $10,000,000, then such obligations might fail to satisfy the $10,000,000 limitation and the obligations would not be"qualified tax-exempt obligations." No Material Adverse Change . . . The obligations of the District to deliver the Bonds and of the Initial Purchaser to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds are subject to the condition that at the time of delivery of and receipt of payment for the Bonds, there shall have been no material adverse change in the condition of the District from those set forth in or contemplated by the"Preliminary Official Statement"as it may have been supplemented or amended through the date of sale. v No-Liribation Certificate :. . On the date of delivery of the Bonds to the Initiai �'urchaser, the District will deliver to the Initial Purchaser a certificate,as of the same date,to the effect that to the best of the District's knowledge no litigation of any nature is pending or, to the best of the certifying officers' knowledge or belief, threatened against the District, contesting or affecting the Bonds; restraining or enjoining the authorization, execution, or delivery of the Bonds; affecting the provision made for the payment of or security for the Bonds; in any manner questioning the authority or proceedings for the issuance, execution or delivery of the Bonds;or affecting the validity of the Bonds or the title of the present officers and directors of the District. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT The District will agree in the Bond Order to provide certain periodic information and notices of material events in accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-12, as described in the Preliminary Official Statement under "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION." The Initial Purchase's(s)or its(their)agent's obligation to accept and pay for the Bonds is conditioned upon delivery to the Initial Purchaser of a certified copy of the Bond Order containing the agreement described under such heading. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS Future Registration . . . The Bonds are transferred, registered and exchanged only on the registration books of the Paying Agent,and such registration shall be at the expense of the District though the District or Paying Agent may require payment by an owner of the Bonds requesting a transfer or exchange of Bonds of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Bond. A Bond may be transferred or exchanged upon surrender to the Paying Agent accompanied by a written instrument of transfer acceptable to the Paying Agent duly executed by the registered owner thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond to the Paying Agent,the District shall execute and the Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of the same stated maturity and of any authorized denomination,and of a like aggregate principal amount.

Limitation on Transfer of Bonds...Neither the District nor the Paying Agent shall be required to make any transfer, conversion or exchange to an assignee of the registered owner of the Bonds(i)during the period commencing on the close of business on the 15''' calendar day of the month preceding each Interest Payment Date (the "Record Date") and ending with the opening of business on the next following principal or Interest Payment Date, or(ii)with respect to any Bond called for redemption, in whole or in part, within forty-five (45) days of the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, such limitation of transfer shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled balance of a Bond. Replacement Bonds...If a Bond is mutilated, the Paying Agent will provide a replacement Bond in exchange for the mutilated Bond. If a Bond is destroyed, lost or stolen, the Paying Agent will provide a replacement Bond upon (i) the filing by the registered owner with the Paying Agent of evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent of the destruction, loss or theft of the Bond and the authenticity of the registered owner's ownership, and(ii)the furnishing to the Paying Agent of indemnification in an amount satisfactory to hold the District and the Paying Agent harmless. All expenses and charges associated with such indemnity and with the preparation, execution and delivery of a replacement Bond must be borne by the registered owner. The provisions of the Bond Order relating to the replacement Bonds are exclusive and to the extent lawful, preclude all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds. Source of Payment While the Bonds or any part of the principal thereof or interest thereon remain outstanding and unpaid, the District covenants to levy and annually assess and collect in due time, form and manner, and at the same time as other District taxes are assessed, levied and collected, in eachyear, beginning with the current year, a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax, without legal limit as to rate or amount, upon all taxable property in the District sufficient to pay the interest on the Bonds as the same becomes due and to pay each installment of the principal of the Bonds as the same matures, with full allowance being made for delinquencies and cost of collection. In the Bond Order, the District covenants that said taxes are irrevocably pledged to the payment of the interest and principal of the Bonds, together with the bonds previously issued and outstanding and to no other purpose. The Bonds are further payable from and secured by a pledge of and a lien on certain net revenues ("Net Revenues"), if any, of the District's waterworks, sanitary sewer and drainage system (the "System"). The Bonds are obligations of the District and are not the obligations of the State of Texas; Williamson County, Texas; the City of Round Rock, Texas; or any other political subdivision or any entity other than the District. Payment Record The District has previously issued $2,450,000 Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Bonds, Series 1987, $2,124,995.80 Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1994, and $1,410,000 Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Bonds, Series 1999. There has been no default by the District in payment of principal of or interest on such bonds. $3,030,000 (Series 1994 and 1999) in principal amount of such bonds remain outstanding(collectively, the"Outstanding Bonds"). Funds In the Bond Order, the Debt Service Fund is created and established, and the proceeds from all taxes levied, assessed and collected for and on account of the Bonds authorized by the Bond Order shall be deposited, as collected, in such fund. Upon the receipt by the District of the purchase price for the Bonds, the accrued interest on the Bonds shall be 11 deposited in to thr Debt Service Fund upon receipt. The remaining proceeds of sale of the Bonds, including interest earnings thereon,shall be deposited into the Capital Projects Fund, to be used for the purposes described in the Bond Order. Any monies remaining in the Capital Projects Fund after completion of construction of the entire System will be transferred to the Debt Service Fund. See "USE AND DISTRIBUTION OF BOND PROCEEDS" for a more complete description of the use of Bond proceeds and the projects related thereto. Authority for Issuance At a bond election held within the District on July 13, 1985, the voters of the District authorized the issuance of $13,000,000 principal amount of unlimited tax and revenue bonds. See"Issuance of Additional Debt"below. By adoption of an order dated 2001, the TNRCC authorized the District to sell the Bonds subject to certain restrictions, including restrictions on the use of Bond proceeds as summarized in "USE AND DISTRIBUTION OF BOND PROCEEDS" and recommended, among other things, the levy of a debt service tax of at least$0. per$100 of assessed valuation in the initial year of the Bonds, which is 2001. The Bonds are issued by the District pursuant to an order of the TNRCC, an ordinance of the City of Round Rock, the terms and conditions of the Bond Order; Article XVI, Section 59 of the Constitution of the State of Texas, Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code, as amended, and ggeneral laws of the State of Texas relating to the issuance of bonds by political subdivisions of the State of Texas. Before the Bonds can be issued, the Attorney General of Texas must initially pass upon the legality of certain related matters. The Attorney General of Texas does not guarantee or pass upon the safety of the Bonds as an investment or upon the adequacy of the information contained in this Official Statement. Registration and Transfer So long as the Bonds remain outstanding, the Paying Agent shall keep the register at its principal corporate trust office and, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Paying Agent shall provide for the registration and transfer of Bonds in accordance with the terms of the Bond Order. Each Bond shall be transferable only upon the presentation and surrender of such Bond at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent, duly endorsed for transfer, or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the registered owner or his authorized representative in form satisfactory to the Paying Agent. Upon due presentation of any Bond in proper form for transfer, the Paying Agent has been directed by the District to authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, within three (3) business days after such presentation, a new Bond or Bonds, registered in the name of the transferee or transferees, in authorized denominations and of the same maturity and aggregate principal amount and paying interest at the same rate as the Bond or Bonds so presented. All Bonds shall be exchangeable upon presentation and surrender thereof at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent for a Bond of the same maturity and interest rate and in any authorized denomination in an aggregate amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Bond or Bonds presented for exchange. The Paying Agent is authorized to authenticate and deliver exchange Bonds. Each exchange Bond delivered shall be entitled to the benefits and security of the Bond Order to the same extent as the Bond or Bonds in lieu of which such exchange Bond is delivered. Neither the District not the Paying Agent shall be required to transfer or to exchange any Bond during the period beginning on a Record Date and ending the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or to transfer or exchange any Bonds for a period of forty-five (45) days next preceding the selection of Bonds for redemption or to transfer or exchange any Bonds called for redemption. The District or the Paying Agent may require the registered owner of any Bond to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connections with the transfer or exchange of such Bond(s). Any fee or charge of the Paying Agent for such transfer or exchange shall be paid by the District. Replacement of Paying Agent Provision is made in the Bond Order for replacement of the Paying Agent by the District. If the Paying Agent is replaced by the District the new Paying Agent shall act in the same capacity as the previous Paying Agent. Any 12 Paying Agent selected by the District shall be a national or state banking institution, a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, to act as Paying Agent for the Bonds. Lost,Stolen or Destroyed Bonds Upon presentation and surrender to the Paying Agent of a mutilated Bond, the Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a replacement Bond of like maturity, interest rate and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If any Bond is lost, apparently destroyed, or wrongfully taken, the District, pursuant to the applicable laws of the State of Texas and in the absence of notice or knowledge that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall, upon receipt of certain documentation from the registered owner requested by the District or the Paying Agent and an indemnity bond, and such other security or indemnity as is satisfactory to the District and the Paying Agent to hold them harmless, and satisfaction by the registered owner of any other reasonable requirements of the District and the Paying Agent, execute and the Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver a replacement Bond of like maturity, interest rate and principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Registered owners of lost, stolen or destroyed Bonds will be required to pay the District's cost to replace such Bonds (including, but not limited to the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent). In addition, the District or the Paying Agent may require the registered owner to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed. Issuance of Additional Debt The District may issue additional bonds, with the approval of the TNRCC, necessary to provide and maintain improvements and facilities consistent with the purposes for which the District was created. See"THE DISTRICT- General." The District's voters have authorized the issuance of$13,000,000 of unlimited tax and revenue bonds and could authorize additional amounts. Any additional bonds sold would be on a parity with or subordinate, to the Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds. Following the issuance of the Bonds, the District will have $7,190,000 of unlimited tax and revenue bonds authorized but unissued. The Bond Order imposes no limitation on the amount of additional parity bonds which may be authorized for issuance by the District's voters or the amount ultimately issued by the District. See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS- Future Debt." The District is also authorized by statute to engage in fire fighting activities, including the issuance of bonds payable from taxes for such purpose. Before the District could issue fire fighting bonds payable from taxes, the following actions would be required: (a)amendment to the existing City of Round Rock ordinance specifying the purposes for which the District may issue bonds; (b) authorization of a detailed master plan and bonds for such purpose by the qualified voters in the District; (c) approval of the master plan and issuance of bonds by the TNRCC; and (d) approval of such bonds by the Attorney General of Texas. The Board has not considered calling an election for purposes of authorization of a detailed master plan and issuance of bonds for fire fighting activities at this time. Issuance of bonds for fire-fighting activities could dilute the investment security for the Bonds. Consolidation A district(such as the District)has the legal authority to consolidate with other districts and, in connection therewith, to provide for the consolidation of its assets, such as cash and the utility system, with the water and wastewater systems of the district(s) with which it is consolidating as well as its liabilities (which would include the Bonds). No representation is made concerning the likelihood of consolidation. Remedies in Event of Default Other than a writ of mandamus and other relief authorized by law, the Bond Order does not expressly provide a specific remedy for a default. Although a registered owner could presumably obtain a judgment against the District for a default in the payment of principal or interest, such judgement could not be satisfied by execution against any property of the District. If the District defaults, a registered owner could petition for a writ of mandamus issued by a court of competent jurisdiction requiring the District and the District's officials to observe and perform the 13 covenants, obligations or conditions prescribed in the Bond Order. Such remedy might need to be enforced on a periodic basis. The enforcement of a claim for payment on the Bonds would be subject to the applicable provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws, any other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions, and general principals of equity. See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Registered Owners' Remedies, and - Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights." Legal Investment and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas The Texas Legislature has enacted four partially conflicting statutes which pertain to the eligibility of bonds issued by a municipal utility district as investments for certain entities and as security for deposits of public funds in Texas: Section 49.186 of the Water Code;Chapter 2256,Texas Government Code("Public Funds Investment Act"); and Chapter 2257, Texas Government Code ("Public Funds Collateral Act"). After reconciling their conflicting provisions, these four statutes provide the following authorization: 1. Whether rated or unrated, bonds of the District(including the Bonds)are authorized investments in the State of Texas for banks, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, fiduciaries, trustees and the State of Texas; 2. Bonds of the District are authorized investments for political subdivisions of the State of Texas; and 3. Bonds of the District (including the Bonds) may be used to secure the deposit of public funds in the State of Texas only if they have been rated by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and have received a rating of not less than"A"or its equivalent. g The District makes no representation that the Bonds will be acceptable to banks, savings and loan associations or public entities for investment purposes or to secure deposits of public funds. The District has made no investigation of other laws, regulations or investment criteria which might apply to or otherwise limit the availability of the Bonds for investment or collateral purposes. Prospective purchasers are urged to carefully evaluate the investment quality of the Bonds and as to the acceptability of the Bonds for investment or collateral purposes. Defeasance In the Bond Order the District reserves the right to defease the Bonds and discharge its obligations to the registered owners of any or all of the Bonds to pay principal, interest and redemption price thereon in any manner permitted by law. Specific Tax Covenants In the Bond Order the District has covenanted with respect to among other matters, the use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the use of facilities fuianced therewith by persons other than state or local governmental units, and the manner in which the proceeds of the Bonds are to be invested. The District may cease to comply with any such covenant if it has received a written opinion of a nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that regulations or rulings hereafter promulgated modify or expand provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), so that such covenant is ineffective or inapplicable or compliance with such covenant adversely affects the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds under Section 103 of the Code. Additional Covenants The District has additionally covenanted in the Bond Order that to the extent it has the authority to do so, it will (i) maintain the System in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and obsolescence excepted,and operate the System in an efficient manner and at a reasonable cost, (ii) maintain insurance on the System of a kind and in an amount which usually would be carried by municipal corporations and political subdivisions in Texas engaged in a similar type of business, but considering any governmental immunities to which the District may be entitled, and(iii) keep accurate records and accounts and employ an independent certified public accountant to audit and report on its financial affairs at the close of each fiscal year, such audits to be in accordance with applicable law, rules and regulations and open to inspection in the office of the District. Amendment to Bond Order The Bond Order contains provisions to the effect that the District may, without the consent of or notice to any registered owners of the Bonds amend, change or modify the Bond Order as may be required(a)by the provisions of the Bond Order,(b)for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal defect or omission in the Bond Order, or(c) in connection with any other change which is not to the prejudice of the registered owners of the Bonds. Except for such amendments, changes or modifications, the District shall not amend, change or modify the Bond Order in any manner without the consent of the registered owners. Alteration of Boundaries In certain circumstances, under Texas law the District may alter its boundaries to: (1) upon satisfying certain condition, annex additional territory;and(2)exclude land subject to taxation within the District that is not served by District facilities if the District simultaneously annexes land of equal acreage and value that may be practicably served by District facilities. No representation is made concerning the likelihood that the District would effect any change in its boundaries. Approval of the Bonds The Attorney General of Texas must approve the legality of the Bonds prior to their delivery. The Attorney General of Texas does not pass upon or guarantee the quality of the Bonds as an investment, nor does he pass upon the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this Official Statement. BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, will act initially as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One fully registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book- entry changes in Direct Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interest in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct or Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Elie Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede& Co. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, 11; which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede& Co. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede&Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the District as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date(identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on payment dates in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on payment dates. Payments by participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name", and will be the responsibility of such participant and not of DTC, the Paying Agent,the Initial Purchaser or the District, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of the District, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the District. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depositoryis not obtained, Bonds are required to be printed and delivered. The District may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bonds will be printed and delivered in accordance with the Bond Order. In reading this Official Statement it should be understood that while the Bonds are in the book-entry-only system, references in other sections of this Official Statement to registered owners should be read to include the person for which the participant acquires an interest in the Bonds, but(i)all rights of ownership must be exercised through DTC and the Book-entry-only system, and(ii)except as described above, notices that are to be given to registered owners under the Bond Order will be given only to DTC. According to DTC, the foregoing information with respect to DTC has been provided to the Industry for informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as a representation, warranty, or contract modification of any kind. Information concerning DTC and the book-entry-only system has been obtained from DTC and is not guaranteed as to accuracy or completeness, and is not be construed as a representation by the District, the Financial Advisor or the Initial Purchaser. EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION AND ANNEXATION The District lies wholly within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Round Rock, Texas ( the "City" or "Round Rock"). Under Texas law, a city may annex a special district located within its extraterritorial jurisdiction without the special district's consent. When such special district is dissolved, the City, must assume the assets, functions and liabilities of the special district, including its bonded indebtedness. The City and the District have entered into several agreements concerning the creation, operation and services to be provided to the District (collectively, the "Agreements"). The Agreements, as supplemented, set forth, among other things , plans for operation and maintenance of a water and wastewater system to service customers within the District and the provision of water and wastewater services by the City to the District. Such Agreements contain various provisions regarding bond issuance, land development as well as provisions for annexation and dissolution of the District. In 16 particular, such Agreements provide that the District will install at least 90%of the facilities and amenities for which District bonds have been authorized by December 10, 1997. In the event the District violates such provision, the City is entitled to injunctive relief or a writ of mandamus or may revoke its approval of the installation of any further facilities or amenities and the issuance of the balance of the District's unissued bonds; provided however, the City's right to revoke such authorization may be exercised only if the City concurrently annexes the entire District. The District has not installed 90% of the facilities and amenities for which District bonds have been authorized, and the City has not taken any relief to which it is entitled under the Agreements. Upon annexation of the District into the City, the Agreements provide that the City may collect from District customers a surcharge not to exceed $50 per month in addition to the water and sewer rate. No representation is made concerning the likelihood of annexation of the District by Round Rock or the ability of Round Rock to make debt service payments on the Bonds should annexation occur. USE AND DISTRIBUTION OF BOND PROCEEDS The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to purchase certain water, wastewater, trunk lines and drainage facilities to serve Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 6A, 6B, 7A, 7B, & 24 of the development as well as a 16" waterline and associated engineering fees. In addition, proceeds of the Bonds will be used to pay certain costs associated with the issuance of the Bonds. The presently estimated use and distribution of Bond proceeds is set forth below. Of the proceeds to be received from the sale of the Bonds, $1,487,889 is estimated to be required for construction costs, and $479,714 is estimated to be required for non-construction costs. Construction Costs: Amount 1. The Meadows at Chandler Creek,Section 4 2. The Meadows at Chandler Creek, Section 6A $ 56,262 3. The Meadows at Chandler Creek, Section 6B 152,258 4.

In its approval of issuance of the Bonds, the TNRCC directed any surplus bond proceeds resulting from the sale of the Bonds at a lower interest rate (than anticipated in the Bond Application) to be shown as a contingency line item and be subject to the TNRCC rules on use of surplus bond funds. 17 INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS General The Bonds, which are obligations of the District and are not obligations of the State of Texas; Williamson County, Texas; Round Rock, Texas; or any other political subdivision, will be secured by a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax, without legal limitation as to rate or amount, on all taxable property located within the District, and by a pledge of and lien on certain Net Revenues, if any, of the System. It is not expected that any Net Revenues will be available to contribute to the payment of the Bonds. (See "THE BONDS-Source of Pa of principal of and interest on the Bonds depends on the ability of the District to collect from the propnt.") The ultimate erty o for payment the District all taxes levied against theproperty, property rtY owners within or in the event of foreclosure, on the value of the taxable property with respect to taxes levied by the District and by other taxing authorities. The collection by the District of delinquent taxes owed to it and the enforcement by the registered owners of the District's obligation to collect sufficient taxes may be a costly and lengthy process. Furthermore, the District cannot and does not make any representations that cont ued development of property within the District will accumulate or maintain taxable values sufficient to justify continued gistered Owners'Remedies"below. payment by property owners or that there will be a market for the property. See"Re Factors Affecting Taxable Values and Tax Payments Economic Factors and Interest Rates: A substantial percentage of the taxable value of the District results from the current market value of single-family residences and developed lots. The market value of such homes and lots is related to general economic conditions affecting the demand for and taxable value of residences. Demand for lots of this type and the construction of residential dwellings thereon can be significantly affected by factors such as interest rates, credit availability, construction costs, energy availability and the prosperity and demographic characteristics of the urban center toward which the marketing of lots is directed. Decreased levels of construction activity would tend to restrict the growth of property values in the District or could adversely impact existing values. Interest rates and the availability of mortgage and development funding have a direct impact on the construction activity, particularly short-term interest rates at which developers are able to obtain financing for development costs. Lenders have been selective in recent years in making real estate loans in the Austin area because of the negative impact to their real estate portfolios. Interest rate levels may affect the ability of a landowner with undeveloped property to undertake and complete construction activities within the District. Because of the numerous and changing factors affecting the availability of funds,the District is unable to assess the future availability of such funds for continued development and construction within the District. In addition, although located approximately 25 miles from the central downtown business district of the City of Austin, the success of development within the District and growth of District taxable property values are,to a great extent,a function of the Austin metropolitan and regional economics. Competition: The demand for and construction of single-family homes in the District could be affected by competition from other residential developments including other residential developments located in other utility districts located near the District. In addition to competition for new home sales from other developments, there are numerous previously-owned homes in more established neighborhoods closer to downtown Round Rock that are for sale. Such homes could represent additional competition for new homes proposed to be sold within the District. The competitive position of the developers in the sale of developed lots and of prospective builders in the construction of single-family residential houses within the District is affected by most of the factors discussed in this section. Such a competitive position is directly related to the growth and maintenance of taxable values in the District and tax revenues to be received by the District. The District can give no assurance that building and marketing programs in the District by the developers will be implemented or, if implemented,will be successful. Developers Under No Obligation to the District: The developers have informed the Board of their current plans to continue to develop land in the District for single family home purposes. None of the developers has current plans to sell their land within the District. However, none of the developers are obligated to implement such plan on any particular schedule or at all. Thus, the furnishing of information related to the proposed development by the developers should not be interpreted as such a commitment. The District makes no representation about the probability of development continuing in a timely manner or about the ability of the developers, or any other subsequent landowners to whom a party may sell all or a portion of its holdings within the District, to implement any plan of development. Furthermore, there is no restriction on the developers right to sell their land. The District can make no prediction as to the effects that current or future economic or governmental circumstances may have on any plans of the developers. Failure to construct taxable improvements on developed lots and tracts and failure of the 18 developers to develop their land would restrict the rate of growth of taxable value in the District. The District is also dependent upon the developers (see "TAX DATA - Top Ten Taxpayers") for the timely payment of ad valorem taxes, and the District cannot predict what the future financial condition of the developers will be or what effect, if any,such conditions may have on its ability to pay taxes. See "THE DEVELOPERS/LANDOWNERS." Impact on District Tax Rates:Assuming no further development or construction of taxable improvements,the value of the land and improvements currently within the District will be the major determinant of the ability or willingness of property owners within the District to pay their taxes. The 2001 assessed valuation of the District is $95,114,756 (see "FINANCIAL STATEMENT"). After issuance of the Bonds, the Projected Maximum Annual Debt Service Requirement is estimated to be $566,385 (2005) and the Projected Average Annual Debt Service Requirement is estimated to be$564,438 (2003 through 2008, inclusive). Assuming(1)no increase or decrease from the 2001 assessed valuation, and (2) no use of funds on hand, a tax rate of$0.63 per $100 assessed valuation, at a 95% collection rate would be necessary to pay the Projected Maximum Annual Debt Service Requirement of$566,385 and a tax rate of $0.63 per $100 assessed valuation at a 95% collection rate would be necessary to pay the Projected Average Annual Debt Service Requirement of$564,438. See"PROJECTED DEBT SERVICE REQUIREMENTS"and"TAX DATA- Tax Adequacy for Debt Service." Tax Collections and Foreclosure Remedies The District has a right to seek judicial foreclosure on a tax lien, but such remedy may prove to be costly and time consuming and, since the future market or resale market, if any, of the taxable real property within the District is uncertain, there can be no assurance that such property could be sold and delinquent taxes paid. Registered owners of the Bonds are entitled under Texas law to a writ of mandamus to compel the District to perform its obligations. Such remedy would have to be exercised upon each separate default and may prove costly, time consuming and difficult to enforce. Furthermore,there is no trust indenture or trustee, and all legal actions would have to be taken on the initiative of, and be financed by, registered owners to enforce such remedies. The rights and remedies of the registered owners and the enforceability of the Bonds may also be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'rights generally. Registered Owners' Remedies In the event of default in the payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds, the registered owners have the right to seek a writ of mandamus, requiring the District to levy adequate taxes each year to make such payments. Except for mandamus, the Bond Order does not specifically provide for remedies to protect and enforce the interest of the registered owners. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Bonds in the event of default and, consequently, the remedy of mandamus may have to be relied upon from year to year. Although the registered owners could obtain a judgment against the District, such a judgment could not be enforced by direct levy and execution against the District's property. Further, the registered owners cannot themselves foreclose on property within the District or sell property within the District in order to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The enforceability of the rights and remedies of the registered owners may further be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions such as the District. Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights The enforceability of the rights and remedies of registered owners of the Bonds may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions such as the District. Subject to the requirements of Texas law discussed below,a political subdivision such as the District may voluntarily file a petition for relief from creditors under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, I I USC sections 901-946. The filing of such petition would automatically stay the enforcement of Registered Owners' remedies, including mandamus and the foreclosure of tax liens upon property within the District discussed above. The automatic stay would remain in effect until the federal bankruptcy judge hearing the case dismisses the petition,enters ah order granting relief from the stay or otherwise allows creditors to proceed against the petitioning political subdivision. A political subdivision,such as the District, may qualify as a debtor eligible to proceed in a Chapter 9 case only if it(1) is generally authorized to file for federal bankruptcy protection by applicable state law,(2) is insolvent or unable to meet its debts as they mature, (3)desires to effect a plan to adjust such debts, and(4) has either obtained the agreement of or negotiated in good faith with its creditors or is unable to negotiate with its creditors because negotiations are impracticable. Under Texas law, a municipal utility district, such as the District, must obtain the approval of the TNRCC as a condition to seeking relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The TNRCC is required to investigate the financial condition of a financially troubled district and authorize such district to proceed under federal bankruptcy law 19 only if such district has fully exercised its rights and powers under Texas law and remains unable to meet its debts and other obligations as they mature. Notwithstanding noncompliance by a district with Texas law requirements, a district could file a voluntary bankruptcy petition under Chapter 9, thereby involving the protection of the automatic stay until the bankruptcy court, after a hearing, dismisses the petition. A federal bankruptcy court is a court of equity and federal bankruptcy judges have considerable discretion in the conduct of bankruptcy proceedings and in determining the decision of whether to grant the petitioning district relief from its creditors. While such a decision might be applicable,the concomitant delay and loss of remedies to the registered owners could potentially and adversely impair the value of the registered owner's claim. If a petitioning district were allowed to proceed voluntarily under Chapter 9 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, it could file a plan for an adjustment of its debts. If such a plan were confirmed by the bankruptcy court, it could, among other things, affect a registered owner by reducing or eliminating the amount of indebtedness, deferring or rearranging the debt service schedule, reducing or eliminating the interest rate, modifying or abrogating collateral or security arrangements, substituting(in whole or in part) other securities, and otherwise compromising and modifying the rights and remedies of the registered owner's claim against a district. The Effect of the Financial Institutions Act of 1989 on Tax Collections of the District The "Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989" ("FIRREA"), enacted on August 9, 1989, contains certain provisions which affect the time for protesting property valuations, the fixing of tax liens, and the collection of penalties and interest on delinquent taxes on real property owned by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Resolution Trust Corporation("RTC") when the FDIC/RTC is acting as the conservator or receiver of an insolvent financial institution. Under FIRREA real property held by the FDIC/RTC is still subject to ad valorem taxation,but such act states(i)that no real property of the FDIC/RTC shall be subject to foreclosure or sale without the consent of the FDIC/RTC and no involuntary liens shall attach to such property, (ii) the FDIC or RTC shall not be liable for any penalties or fines, including those arising from the failure to pay any real or personal property tax when due, and (iii) notwithstanding failure of a person to challenge an appraisal in accordance with state law,such value shall be determined as of the period for which such tax is imposed. There has been little judicial determination of the validity of the provisions of FIRREA or how they are to be construed and reconciled with respect to conflicting state laws. However,certain recent federal court decisions have held that the FDIC/RTC is not liable for statutory penalties and interest authorized by State property tax law, and that although a lien for taxes may exist against real property,such lien may not be foreclosed without the consent of the FDIC/RTC,and no liens for penalties, fines, interest,attorneys fees,costs of abstract and research fees exist against the real property for the failure of the FDIC/RTC or a prior property owner to pay ad valorem taxes when due. It is also not known whether the FDIC/RTC will attempt to claim the FIRREA exemptions as to the time for contesting valuations and tax assessments made prior to and after the enactment of FIRREA. Accordingly,to the extent that the FIRREA provisions are valid and applicable to any property in the District, and to the extent that the FDIC/RTC attempts to enforce the same, these provisions may affect the timeliness of collection of taxes on property, if any, owned by the FDIC/RTC in the District, and may prevent the collection of penalties and interest on such taxes. Marketability The District has no understanding with the Initial Purchaser regarding the reoffering yields or prices of the Bonds and has no control over trading of the Bonds in the secondary market. Moreover, there is no assurance that a secondary market will be made in the Bonds. If there is a secondary market,the difference between the bid and asked price for the Bonds may be greater than the difference between the bid and asked price of bonds of comparable maturity and quality issued by more traditional issuers as such bonds are more generally bought,sold or traded in the secondary market. Continuing Compliance with Certain Covenants Failure of the District to comply with certain covenants contained in the Bond Order on a continuing basis prior to the maturity of the Bonds could result in interest on the Bonds becoming taxable retroactively to the date of original issuance. See"LEGAL MATTERS-Tax Exemption." �n Future Debt The District reserves in the Bond Order he right to issue the remaining$7,190,000 authorized but unissued bonds(see "COMBINATION TAX AND REVENUE BONDS AUTHORIZED BUT UN-ISSUED"), and such additional bonds as may hereafter be approved by both the Board of Directors and voters of the District. The District has also reserved the right to issue certain other additional bonds, special project bonds, refunding bonds, inferior lien bonds, and other obligations described in the Bond Order. All the remaining the voters of the District may be issued by the District wi h Othe approval of 0 bonds w hich eavTNRCC,f ore fromeen time t authorized time as improvement needs arise. If the District does issue future bonds or other debt obligations, such issuance could increase gross debt/property valuation ratios and might adversely affect the investment security of the Bonds. To date, the developers (or their predecessors) have advanced certain funds for construction of utilities for which the developers have not been reimbursed. After reimbursements made with Bond proceeds, approximately $ will be reimbursable to the developers for the development currently existing or under construction within the District(see "THE DISTRICT—Historical and Current Status of Development"). According to the District's Engineer, in order to fully reimburse the developers and provide utility service to the remaining undeveloped but developable acres within the District(45 net acres), the District would need to issue up to the full principal amount of authorized but unissued bonds remaining after the issuance of the Bonds ($7,190,000) in installments over the next several years. Each future issue of bonds is intended to be sold at the earliest practicable date consistent with the maintenance of a reasonable tax rate in the District(assuming projected increases in the value of taxable property made at the time of issuance of the bonds are accurate). The District does not employ any formula with respect to assessed valuations, tax collections or otherwise to limit the amount of parity bonds which it may issue. The issuance of additional bonds is subject to approval by the TNRCC pursuant to its rules regarding issuance and feasibility of bonds. In addition, future changes in health,environmental or other governmental regulations could require the construction and financing of additional improvements without any corresponding increases in taxable value in the District. See "THE BONDS-Issuance of Additional Debt". Approval of the Bonds As required by law,engineering plans, specifications and estimates of construction costs for the facilities and services to be purchased or constructed by the District with the proceeds of the Bonds have been approved,subject to certain conditions, by the TNRCC. See"USE AND DISTRIBUTION OF BOND PROCEEDS". In addition,the Attorney General of Texas must approve the legality of the Bonds prior to their delivery. Neither the TNRCC nor the Attorney General of Texas passes upon or guarantees the security of the Bonds as an investment, nor have the foregoing authorities passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this Official Statement. �t DISTRICT MAP General THE DISTRICT The District was created by order of the Texas Water Commission ("TWC"), now known as the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission ("TNRCC" or "Commission"), adopted on May 14, 1985, and a confirmation election held within the District on July 13, 1985, and operates as a municipal utility district pursuant to the provisions of Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code, as amended, and other general statutes of the State of Texas applicable to municipal utility districts.

Historical and Current Status of Development Development within the District began in 1985 with the development of the initial sections of The Meadows at Chandler Creek Subdivisions. From 1985 through 1987 development and the construction of single family homes continued intermittently. In 1987 the then developer conveyed all of its vacant lots and all of the remaining undeveloped land within the District to its development lender, a subsidiary of American General Corporation (hereinafter"American General"). From 1987 through March, 1994, American General maintained the development and sold lots to homebuilders. In June, 1993,American General entered into contracts for the sale of a total of 99 lots in Chandler Creek, Section 3 to Pioneer Homes and Clark Wilson Homes, and such homebuilders began constructing homes in the $95,000 to $120,000 price range. In March, 1994, Carrico Land Ltd., a Texas limited partnership ("Carrico") purchased all of American General's 458 undeveloped acres and 152 vacant lots in the District and assumed the lot sales contracts with Pioneer Homes and Clark Wilson Homes. In August, 1998, Carrico sold 335 acres within the District (while retaining 36 acres) to Chandler Creek Investment Limited Partnership ("Development"), a Texas limited partnership (305.6 acres) and to Chandler Creek Investment Limited Partnership ("Limited"), a Texas limited partership (29.5 acres). The general partners of both Development and Limited are E. W. Development Company, a Texas corporation, JDB Real Properties, Inc., a Texas Corporation and Butler Broadcasting Management Company, Inc. Ed Wendler, Jr. is managing the property. See"DEVELOPERS/LANDOWNERS". In April, 1999, Investments and Develoment sold approximately 106 acres to Kaufinan& Broad of Texas, Ltd. ("KB Home"). Since such time, KB Home has developed The Meadows at Chandler Creek, Sections 6A, 6B, 10 and 11. In addition, KB Home has contracted to purchase 102 single family lots in The Meadows of Chandler Creek, Sections 2 and 5, of which it has purchased 52 lots. Homes being constructed in the District by KB Home range in price from $110,000 to $160,000. From December 1, 1999 through November 30, 2000, KB Home sold approximately 120 homes in the District and has sold approximately 136 homes from December 1, 2000 through July 31, 2001. KB Home owns 8 additional acres that the plan to develop into approximately 20 lots in the District. 24 In December, 1999, Investments and Development sold approximately 211 acres to Lennar Homes. Since that time, Lennar Homes has developed The Meadows at Chandler Creek, Sections 5, 713, 12, 15 and 17; in addition, Sections 13 & 16 are under development and Section 14 is currently being platted. See chart below. Homes being constructed in the District by Lennar Homes range in price from $130,000 to $170,000. Lennar Homes began constructing homes in the District in June, 2000 and sold approximately 50 homes during 2000 and has sold an additional 51 homes during the first seven (7) months of 2001. Lennar Homes owns no undeveloped land in the District. In 2000, Kimball Hill Homes purchased approximately 43 acres within the District and is in the process of developing such land as The Meadows of Chandler Creek, Sections 19, 20, 21, and 22. Section 19 has been completed; preliminary platting of Sections 20 and 21 is underway; and the land plan for Section 22 has been prepared but no engineering work has been performed on such subdivision. According to representatives of Kimball Hill Homes,they intend to construct homes ranging in price from $150,000 to$200,000. In addition to single family residential development that is occurring within the District, a 15.089 acre site has been acquired by Agape Round Rock Housing, Inc. , a Texas Corporation ("Agape"). According to representatives of Agape, it intends to develop the site with approximately 216 unit apartment complex which will consist of "affordable housing" for the residents. According to agreements negotiated between the District and Agape, the apartment project will be taxed at approximately 100 percent of its appraised value. In 1998, Centex Senior Services Corporation ("Centex")constructed a 28-bed assisted living center("Center") on a 1.4 acre site. According to Centex it expects to expand the Center to include two other phases as needed. A.

Additional development within the District consists of an approximately five acre park with junior olympic swimming pool, bathhouse, tennis courts and playground. Such park is owned and operated by the Meadows at Chandler Creek Home Owners Association and is available to all residents of the District. An elementary school (740 pupils)is also located within the District on approximately 12 acres. Future Development The District contains approximately 45 remaining undeveloped but developable acres under current land development regulations all of which is currently owned by . All have stated that their current intention is to develop the remaining approximate 45 acres as lots for the construction of homes; Multi-Family purposes; a Church; however, they are under no obligation to continue development. Annexation of the District The District lies wholly within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Round Rock, Texas. See "EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION AND ANNEXATION" for a discussion of the ability of the City of Round Rock to annex the District. DEVELOPERS/LANDOWNERS Role of a Developer In general, the activities of a landowner or developer in a utility district, such as the District, include, among other activities, purchasing land within the future district, petitioning for creation of the district, designing the 26 development, defining a marketing program, planning and scheduling building schedules, securing necessary governmental approvals and permits for development, arranging for the construction of roads and the installation of utilities (including, in some cases water, sewer, and drainage facilities in the utility district) pursuant to the rules of the TNRCC, and selling improved lots or commercial reserves to builders, other developers or third parties. Ordinarily, the developer pays one hundred percent (100%) of the costs of paying and amenity design and construction and up to 30% of the costs of construction of the water supply and distribution, wastewater collection, and drainage facilities. While a landowner or developer is required by the TNRCC to pave streets and pay for its allocable portion of the costs of utilities to be financed by the district through a specific bond issue, if any, a developer is under no obligation to a district to undertake development activities with respect to other property it owns within the district. Furthermore, there is no restriction on a developer's right to sell any or all of the land which the developer owns within a district. In addition, the developer is ordinarily the major taxpayer within the district during the early stages of development. The relative success or failure of the developer to perform such activities in development of the property within the utility district may have a profound effect on the security for the bonds issued by a district. Description of the Developers/Landowners In August, 1998, Camco sold 335 acres within the District(while retaining 36 acres) to Chandler Creek Development Limited Partnership ("Development"), a Texas limited partnership (29.5 acres) and to Chandler Creek Investment Limited Partnership ("Investment"), a Texas limited partnership (305.6 acres). The general partners of both Development and Limited are E. W. Development Company, a Texas corporation, JDB Real Properties, Inc., a Texas corporation and Butler Broadcasting Management Company, Inc., a Texas corporation. E.W. Development Company, whose President is Ed Wendler,Jr. is managing the property. Kaufman & Broad of Texas, Ltd. ("KB Home") has purchased approximately 106 acres in the District and has developed such property for single family residential purposes. KB Home is a Texas limited partnership which is owned by KBSA Inc.,a Texas Corporation. KB Home obtains its funds for development purposes from internal sources. Lennar Homes of Texas Land& Construction, Ltd. ("Lennar Homes") has purchased approximately 211 acres within the District and is developing such property for single family residential purposes. Lennar Homes is owned by Lennar Corporation. Lennar Homes obtain its funds for development purposes from internal sources. Kimball Hill Homes Texas, Inc. ("Kimball Hill Homes") is a Texas corporation whose stock is owned by Kimball Hill Homes Inc.. Kimball Hill Homes has purchased approximately 43 acres within the District and is developing such property for single family residential purposes. Financing of its land acquisition and development is provided by internally generated funds and a development loan from First American Bank in the amount of approximately $1,729,000. According to representatives of Kimball Hill Homes, it is in compliance with all material terms of its development loan. Agricultural Waiver Carrico previously executed an agreement affecting approximately 403 acres, which is recorded in the real property of Williamson County and is a covenant running with the land, waiving the right to have undeveloped land located within the District classified as agricultural, open-space or timberland. In addition, such agreement waives the right of a developer to have its lots and houses (if any) classified as business inventory. Such agreement may not be modified without the approval of the TNRCC and is binding on purchasers of such land. See "TAXING PROCEDURES — Property Subject to Taxation by the District." Utility Construction Agreements The District is a party to Utility Construction Agreements with Development, Investment, KB Home, Lennar Homes and Kimball Hill Homes, which define the conditions under which the District will issue additional bonds to reimburse such entities for the water, wastewater and drainage facilities within and outside the District. Under the terms of the agreements,the District has agreed to repay the cost of facilities through a series of bond sales over time. The District's obligation to issue bonds and reimburse the entities for funds advanced for facilities is subject to various conditions including approval of such facilities and bonds by the TNRCC and the Texas Attorney General, the recommendation of the District's financial advisor that the sale of the bonds is feasible and prudent,and approval of the City of Round Rock, Texas. Generally, bonds will be issued to pay 70% of reimbursable costs unless the District, in its sole discretion. increases reimbursement to 100% if such expenditures qualify pursuant to the TNRCC's rules. The District bonds _)7 issued will be at a net effective interest rate not to exceed 2% above the highest average interest rate repoited by the Daily Bond Buyer in its weekly"20 Bond Index". General THE SYSTEM The water, wastewater and storm drainage facilities, the purchase, acquisition and construction of which have been financed by the District with the proceeds of the Outstanding Bonds, have been designed in accordance with accepted engineering practices and the recommendation of certain governmental agencies having regulatory or supervisory jurisdiction over construction and operation of such facilities, including, among others, the TNRCC. According to Gray Jansing & Associates, Inc. (the "Engineer"), the design of all such facilities has been approved by all govemmental agencies,which have jurisdiction over the District. Operation of the District's waterworks and wastewater facilities is subject to regulation by, among others, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the TNRCC. In many cases, regulations promulgated by these agencies have become effective only recently and are subject to further development and revision. By agreement between the City of Round Rock and the District,the City operates and maintains the District's waterworks and wastewater facilities. Water System Water is currently supplied to the District under a contract with the City of Round Rock through an existing 16 inch waterline at the western boundary of the District. Billings to individual residences are handled directly by the City of Round Rock. Elevated storage requirements for the District are met through capacity in an existing 750,000 gallon elevated water storage tank. Pursuant to an agreement with the City of Round Rock, sufficient capacity of water is provided to serve 2,506 living unit equivalents. Wastewater System Wastewater treatment is provided to the District by agreement with the City of Round Rock. The City of Round Rock operates a 2,100 -Pm lift station located on the eastern boundary of the District which pumps wastewater through a 20 inch force main to the Chandler Creek interceptor which flows into the Round Rock wastewater treatment plant. Pursuant to an agreement with the City of Round Rock, sufficient capacity of sewage treatment service is provided for 2,506 living unit equivalents. Drainage System The storm drainage system that serves the District consists of curb and gutter streets and storm sewers that collect storm water runoff for outfall into Chandler Creek. The facilities are designed in accordance with Williamson County,City of Austin,and City of Round Rock criteria. 100-year Flood Plain According to U.S.G.S. topographic maps and Federal Insurance Administration ("FIA") maps, the District is relatively flat with elevations ranging from 670 to 730 feet above mean sea level. The land within the District slopes generally from 0.5%to 3.5%. Approximately 87 acres of the District lie within the 100-year flood plain. This acreage has been planned as green space and will not be used for development. Future Debt After the issuance of the Bonds, $7,190,000 combination unlimited tax and revenue bonds will remain authorized but unissued. To date, the developers have advanced approximately $ to the District which, following issuance of the Bonds, will remain owing. In order to fully reimburse and provide utility service to the remaining undeveloped buy developable acres within the District, the District anticipates that it may issue up to the full principal amount of authorized but unissued bonds in installments over the next several years. In the opinion of the District's Engineer, the $7,190,000 authorized buy unissued bonds should be sufficient to fully reimburse amounts owed for the existing facilities and provide utility service to the remaining undeveloped but potentially developable acreage. �o Water and Wastewater Operations Rate and Fee Schedule-Table I The Board of Directors establishes rates and fees for water and sewer service,subject to change from time to time. The following schedule sets forth the rates and fees for the District's water and sewer service which have been in effect since March 1, 1997. The City of Round Rock charges the District for water and sewer service at the same rates it charges to its retail customers,and the City bills the District's customers for such services directly.

The District's goal is to preserve principal and maintain liquidity in a diversified portfolio while securing a competitive yield on its portfolio. Funds of the District are to be invested only in accordance with the Policy. The Policy states that the funds of the District may be invested in short term obligations of the U.S. or its agencies or instrumentalities, in certificates of deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation("FDIC")and secured by collateral authorized by the Act, and in TexPool and Texas Class, which are public funds investment pools rated in the highest rating category by a nationally recognized rating service. The District does not currently own, nor does it anticipate, the inclusion of long term securities or derivative products in the portfolio. Current Investments-Table 8 The District's funds are currently invested in TexPool ($726,578), LOGIC ($3,799) and money market funds. This investment portfolio is generally representative of the District's investment practices although the District has in the past or may in the future also invest in authorized Government Securities. State law requires the District to mark its investments to market price each calendar quarter and upon the conclusion of each fiscal year, for the purpose of compliance with applicable accounting policies concerning the contents of the District's audited financial statements. The District currently marks its investments to market price monthly.

In its order approvin.-the issuance of the Bonds, the TNRCC recommended that a minimum debt service tar rate of$0.56 be levied by the District. TAXING PROCEDURES Authority to Levy Taxes The Board is authorized to levy an annual ad valorem tax on all taxable property within the District in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and Outstanding Bonds, and any additional bonds payable from taxes which the District may hereafter issue (see "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Future Debt") and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such taxes. The District agrees in the Bond Order to levy such a tax from year-to-year as described more fully herein under "THE BONDS - Source of and Security for Payment." Under Texas law, the Board is also authorized to levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax for the operation and maintenance of the District and its water and wastewater system and for the payment of certain contractual obligations if authorized by its voters. See"TAX DATA-Tax Rate Limitation". Property Tax Code and County-Wide Appraisal District The Texas Property Tax Code(the "Property Tax Code")specifies the taxing procedures of all political subdivisions of the State of Texas, including the District. Provisions of the Property Tax Code are complex and are not fully summarized herein. The Property Tax Code requires, among other matters, county-wide appraisal and equalization of taxable property values and establishes in each county of the State of Texas an appraisal district with the responsibility for recording and appraising property for all taxing units within a county and an appraisal review board with the responsibility for 35 reviewing and equalizing the values established by the appraisal district. The Williamson County Appraisal District(the "Appraisal District" or "WCAD") has the responsibility for appraising property for all taxing units within Williamson County, including the District. Such appraisal values are subject to review and change by the Williamson County Appraisal Review Board (the "Appraisal Review Board"). The appraisal roll as approved by the Appraisal Review Board must be used by the District in establishing its tax roll and tax rate. Property Subject to Taxation by the District General: Except for certain exemptions provided by Texas law, all real property, tangible personal property held or used for the production of income, mobile homes and certain categories of intangible personal property with a tax situs in the District are subject to taxation by the District; however,no effort is expected to be made by the Appraisal District to include on a tax roll tangible or intangible personal property not devoted to commercial or industrial use. Principal categories of exempt property include, but are not limited to: property owned by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions if the property is used for public purposes; property exempt from ad valorem taxation by the federal law; income producing tangible personal property or mineral interest with a taxable value of less than $1,500; certain property used for the control of air, water or land pollution; solar and wind powered energy devices; certain household goods, wares and merchandise in transit; certain farm products owned by the producer; certain property of charitable organizations, youth development organizations, religious organizations, and qualified schools; designated historical sites; and most individually owned automobiles. Property owned by a disabled veteran or a veteran who died while on active duty has been granted an exemption up to $3,000 of assessed value. Partially exempt to between $5,000 and $12,000 of assessed value, depending upon the disability rating of the veteran, is property owned by a disabled veteran or spouse or certain children. Also exempt, if approved by the Board or through a process of petition and referendum by the District's voters,are residential homesteads of person sixty-five(65)years or older and of certain disabled persons to the extent of $3,000 of appraised value or more. The District's tax assessor/collector is authorized by statute to disregard such exemptions for the elderly and disabled if granting the exemptions would impair the District's obligation to pay tax supported debt incurred prior to adoption of the exemptions by the District. Residential Homestead Eremptions: The Property Tax Code authorizes the governing body of each political subdivision in the State of Texas to exempt up to twenty(20%)percent of the appraised value of residential homesteads from ad valorem taxation. Where ad valorem taxes have previously been pledged for the payment of debt,the goveming body of a political subdivision may continue to levy and collect taxes against the exempt value of the homesteads until the debt is discharged, if the cessation of the levy would impair the obligations of the contract by which the debt was created. The District has never adopted a general homestead exemption. Tax Abatement. Williamson County and the District may enter into tax abatement agreements with owners of real property within such zone. The tax abatement agreements may exempt from ad valorem taxation by the applicable taxing jurisdiction for a period of up to ten years, all or any part of the increase in the assessed valuation of property covered by the agreement over its assessed valuation in the year in which the agreement is executed, on the condition that the property owner make specified improvement or repairs to the property in conformity with a comprehensive plan. To date;the District has not executed any abatement agreements. Valuation of Property for Taxation Generally,property in the District must be appraised by the WCAD at market value as of January I of each year. Once an appraisal roll is prepared and formally approved by the Appraisal Review Board, it is used by the District in establishing its tax rolls and tax rate. Assessments under the Property Tax Code are to be based on one hundred percent 0 00%)of market value,as such is defined in the Property Tax Code. The Property Tax Code permits land designated for agricultural use, open space or timberland to be appraised at its value based on the land's capacity to produce agricultural or timber products rather than at its market value. The Property Tax Code permits, under certain circumstances, that residential real property inventory held by a person in the trade or business be valued at the price that such property would bring if sold as a unit to a purchaser who would continue the business. Landowners wishing to avail themselves of the agricultural use, open space or timberland designation or residential real property inventory designation must apply for the designation, and the appraiser is required by the Property Tax Code to act on each claimant's right to the designation individually. A claimant may waive the special valuation as to taxation by some political subdivisions while claiming it as to another. If a claimant receives the agricultural use designation and later loses it by changing the use of the property or selling it to an unqualified owner, the District can collect taxes based on the new use, including taxes for the previous three years for agricultural use and taxes for the previous five years for open space land and timberland. 36 The Property Tax Code requires the WCAD to implement a plan for periodic reappraisal of property. The plan must provide for appraisal of all real property in the WCAD at least once every three years. It is not known what frequency of reappraisal will be utilized by the WCAD or whether reappraisals will be conducted on a zone or county-wide basis. The District, however, at its expense has the right to obtain from the WCAD a current estimate of appraised values within the District or an estimate of any new property or improvements within the District. While such current estimate of appraised values may serve to indicate the rate and extent of growth of taxable values within the District, it cannot be used for establishing a tax rate within the District until such time as the WCAD chooses formally to include such values on its appraisal roll. District and Taxpayer Remedies Under certain circumstances, taxpayers and taxing units (such as the District) may appeal the orders of the Appraisal Review Board by filing a timely petition of review in State district court. in such event, the value of the property question will be determined by the court orb a 'u if requested b an P p rty in Y J ry q Y Y party. Additionally,taxing units may bring suit against the WCAD to compel compliance with the Property Tax Code. The Property Tax Code sets forth notice and hearing procedures for certain tax rate increases by the District and provides for taxpayer referenda, which could result in the repeal of certain tax increases. The Property Tax Code also establishes a procedure for notice to property owners of reappraisals reflecting increased property value, appraisals which are higher than renditions,and appraisals of property not previously on an appraisal roll. Levy and Collection of Taxes The District is responsible for the levy and collection of its taxes unless it elects to transfer the collection functions to another governmental entity. Each year the rate of taxation is set by District as of the the Board based upon the valuation of property within the preceding January 1. Taxes are due or when billed,and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year. A delinquent tax incurs a penalty of six percent (6%) of the amount of the tax for the first calendar month it is delinquent, plus one percent(1%) for each additional month or portion of a month the tax remains unpaid prior to July I of the year in which it becomes delinquent. If the tax is not paid by July 1 of the year in which it becomes delinquent, the tax incurs a total penalty of twelve percent (12%) regardless of the number of months the tax has been delinquent and incurs an additional penalty of up to fifteen percent (15%) if imposed by the District. The delinquent tax also accrues interest at a rate of one percent(1%) for each month or portion of a month it remains unpaid. The Property Tax Code also makes provision for the split payment of taxes, discounts for early payment and the postponement of the delinquency date of taxes under certain circumstances. District's Rights In The Event Of Tax Delinquencies Taxes levied by the District are a personal obligation of the owner of the property as of January 1 of the year for which the tax is imposed. On January I of each year, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all state and local taxes, penalties, and interest ultimately imposed for the year on the property. The lien exists in favor of the State of Texas and each local taxing unit, including the District, having power to tax the property. The District's tax lien is on a parity with tax liens of such other taxing units (see "FINANCIAL STATEMENT—Overlapping Taxes for 2000"). A tax lien on real property takes priority over the claim of most creditors and other holders of liens on the property encumbered by the tax lien, whether or not the debt or lien existed before the attachment of the tax lien; however, whether a lien of the United States is on a parity with or takes priority over a tax lien of the District is determined by applicable federal law. Personal property under certain circumstances is subject to seizure and sale for the payment of delinquent taxes,penalty,and interest. At any time after taxes on property become delinquent, the District may file suit to foreclose the lien securing payment of the tax, to enforce personal liability for the tax, or both. In filing a suit to foreclose a tax lien on real property, the District must join other taxing units that have claims for delinquent taxes against all or part of the same property. Collection of delinquent taxes may be adversely affected by the amount of taxes owed to other taxing units, by the effects of market conditions on the foreclosure sale price, by taxpayer redemption rights (a taxpayer may redeem property within two (2)years after the purchaser's deed issued at the foreclosure sale is filed in the county records) or by bankruptcy proceeding which restrict the collection of taxpayer debts. See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS- General -Tax Collection and Foreclosure Remedies." Legal Proceedings LEGAL MATTERS Delivery of the Bonds will be accompanied by the unqualified approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas to the effect that the Bonds are valid and legally binding obligations of the District under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas payable from the proceeds of an annual ad valorem tax levied, without legal limit as to rate or amount, upon all taxable property within the District and from certain Net Revenues generated from the District's water, sanitary sewer and drainage system and based upon their examination of a transcript of certified proceedings relating to the issuance and sale of the Bonds; the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel, to a like effect, and to the effect that interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income of the holders for federal tax purposes under existing law,and the Bonds are not "private activity bonds"under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended(the "Code")and interest on the Bonds will not be subject to the alternative minimum tax on individuals and corporations, except as described below in the discussion regarding the adjusted current eamings adjustments for corporations. See "APPENDIX B — Bond Counsel Opinion." Bond Counsel has reviewed the information appearing in this Official Statement under the caption "THE DISTRICT - General," "THE BONDS," "TAXING PROCEDURES," "EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION AND ANNEXATION," "LEGAL MATTERS," and "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION," solely to determine whether such information fairly summarizes matters of law and the provisions of the documents referred to therein. Bond Counsel has not,however, independently verified any of the factual information contained in this Official Statement nor has it conducted an investigation of the affairs of the District or the developers for the purpose of passing upon the accuracy or completeness of this Official Statement. No person is entitled to rely upon Bond Counsel's limited participation as an assumption of responsibility for or an expression of opinion of any kind with regard to the accuracy or completeness of any information contained herein. The legal fees paid to Bond Counsel for services rendered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds are based on a percentage of the bonds actually issued, sold and delivered and, therefore, such fees are contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Bonds. No Material Adverse Change The obligations of the Initial Purchaser to take and pay for the Bonds, and of the District to deliver the Bonds, are subject to the condition that, up to the time of delivery of and receipt of payment for the Bonds,there shall have been no material adverse change in the condition(financial or otherwise)of the District subsequent to the date of sale from that set forth or contemplated in the Preliminary Official Statement, as it may have been supplemented or amended through the date of sale. Ivo-Litigation Certificate The District will furnish the Initial Purchaser a certificate, dated of the date of delivery of the Bonds, executed by both the President or Vice President and Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Board, to the effect that no litigation of any nature has been filed or is to heir knowledge then pending or threatened, either in state or federal courts, contesting or attaching the Bonds; restraining or enjoining the issuance, execution or delivery of the Bonds; affecting the provisions made for the payment of or security for the Bonds; in any manner questioning the authority or proceedings for the issuance,execution or delivery of the Bonds;or affecting the validity of the Bonds. TAX MATTERS Tax Exemption The delivery of the Bonds is subject to the opinion of Winstead Sechrest & Minick P.C., Bond Counsel, that, (1) interest on the Bonds will be excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes under section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and (2) the Bonds will not be treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and that, accordingly, interest on the Bonds will not be included as an alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Code. Except as stated above, Bond Counsel will express no opinion as to any other federal, state, or local tax consequences under present law or proposed legislation resulting from the receipt or accrual of interest on or the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of the Bonds. See APPENDIX B FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL. The Code imposes a number of requirements that must be satisfied for interest on state and local obligations, such as the Bonds, to be excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. The District has covenanted that it will comply with these requirements which include limitations on the use of proceeds of the Bonds and the source of repayment, limitations on the investment of proceeds of the Bonds prior to expenditure, the calculation and payment to the United States Treasury of certain "arbitrage profits", the filing of an information return with the Internal Revenue Service, and certain other matters. In rendering their opinions, Bond Counsel will rely upon representations and certifications of the District with respect to matters solely within the knowledge of the District, which Bond Counsel have not independently verified, and will assume continuing compliance by the District with the District's covenants pertaining to those sections of the Code which affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. If such representations and certifications are determined to be inaccurate or incomplete, or the District fails to comply with the foregoing covenants, interest on the Bonds could become includable in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds, regardless of the date on which the event causing such inclusion occurs. The statutes, regulations, published rulings, and court decisions upon which Bond Counsel have based their opinions are subject to change by the Congress and to subsequent judicial and administrative interpretation by the courts and the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"). There can be no assurance that such law or the interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner which would adversely affect the tax treatment of the receipt or accrual of interest on or the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of the Bonds. No ruling has been sought from the Service and the opinions of Bond Counsel are not binding on the Service. The Service has an ongoing program of auditing tax- exempt obligations to determine whether, in the view of the Service, interest on such tax-exempt obligations is includable in the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. No assurances can be given as to whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. If an audit is commenced, under current procedures the Service will treat the District as the taxpayer and the owners of the Bonds would have no right to participate in the audit process. In responding to or defending an audit with respect to the Bonds, the District may have different or conflicting interest from the owners of the Bonds. The opinions set forth above are based upon existing law and Bond Counsel's knowledge of the facts on the date of issuance of the Bonds. Such opinions are an expression of professional judgment and not a guarantee of result. Bond Counsel assumes no obligation to update or supplement their opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may come to their attention or any changes in law that may occur after the date of issuance of the Bonds. Federal Income Tax Accounting Treatment of Discount and Premium Bonds The initial public offering price of certain stated maturities of the Bonds may be less than the stated redemption price at maturity (as defined in section 1272 of the Code and Income Tax Regulations thereunder) on the Bonds (the "Original Issue Discount Bonds"). Assuming that all of the Original Issue Discount Bonds have been initially offered and a substantial amount of each maturity thereof has been sold, to the general public in arm's length transactions for a price (with no other consideration being included) for not more than the initial offering prices stated in the Official Statement, an amount equal to the difference between the initial public offering price of an Original Issue Discount Bond and the stated redemption price at maturity constitutes "original issue discount" to the initial purchaser of such Original Issue Discount Bond. Such original issue discount may result from the payment of accrued interest by the initial purchaser, bonds having an interest payment period longer than six months, or the purchase by the initial purchaser at a discount from the face amount of the Bonds. Under existing law, such initial purchaser is entitled to exclude from gross income an amount of income with respect to such Original Issue Discount Bond equal to that portion of the amount of such original issue discount allocable to the period that such Original Issue Discount Bond continues to be owned by such purchaser. For a discussion of certain collateral federal tax consequences,see discussion set forth below. In the event of the redemption, sale, or other taxable disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bond prior to stated maturity, the amount realized by such purchaser in excess of the basis of such Original Issue Discount Bond in the hands of such purchaser (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Original Issue Discount Bond was held by such initial purchaser) is includable in gross income. Original issue discount is considered to be accrued actuarially in accordance with the constant interest method over the life of the Original Issue Discount Bond, taking into account the semiannual compounding of accrued interest, at the yield to maturity on such Original Issue Discount Bond. The allocation of such original issue discount will generally result in an amount treated as interest that is different than the amount of the payment denominated as interest actually received by the owner thereof during the taxable year. The federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership,redemption,sale,or other disposition of Original Issue Discount Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those described above. All purchasers of Original Issue Discount Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the determination for federal, state, and local income tax purposes of the treatment of interest accrued upon redemption, sale, or other disposition of, such Original Issue Discount Bonds and with respect to the federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, redemption, sale, or other disposition of,such Original Issue Discount Bonds. The initial public offering price of certain stated maturities of the Bonds (the "Premium Bonds") maybe greater than the amount payable on such Bonds at maturity. An amount equal to the difference between the initial public offering price of a Premium Bond assuming that a substantial amount of the Premium Bonds of that maturity are sold to the public at such price, and the amount payable at maturity constitutes premium to the initial purchaser of such Premium Bond. The basis for federal income tax purposes of a Premium Bond in the hands of such purchaser must be reduced each year by the amortizable bond premium. Such reduction in basis will increase the amount of any gain (or decrease the amount of any loss) to be recognized for federal income tax purposes upon a sale or other taxable disposition of a Premium Bond. The amount of premium which is amortizable each year by an initial purchaser is determined by using such purchaser's yield to maturity. All purchasers of the Premium Bonds should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the determination of amortizable bond premium with respect to the Premium Bonds for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of acquisition, ownership, redemption, sale,or other disposition of,such Premium Bonds. Collateral Federal Income Tax Consequences The following discussion is a summary of certain collateral federal income tax consequences resulting from the receipt or accrual of interest on or the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of the Bonds. This discussion is based on existing statutes, regulations, published rulings, and court decisions, all of which are subject to change or modification retroactively. The following discussion is applicable to investors, other than those who are subject to special provisions of the Code, such as financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, life insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, individuals otherwise qualifying for the earned income tax credit, owners of an interest in a financial asset securitization investment trust, certain S corporations with Subchapter C earnings and profits, and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry,or who have paid or incurred expenses allocable to, tax-exempt obligations. INVESTORS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE CODE, SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX TREATMENT WHICH MAY BE ANTICIPATED TO RESULT FROM THE RECEIPT OR ACCRUAL OF INTEREST ON OR THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS BEFORE DETERMINING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE BONDS. Interest on the Bonds will be included in the "adjusted current earnings" of certain corporations for purposes of computing their alternative minimum tax imposed by section 55 of the Code. Interest on the Bonds may be subject to the "branch profits tax" imposed by section 884 of the Code on the effectively-connected earnings and profits of a foreign corporation doing business in the United States. Under section 6012 of the Code, owners of tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, may be required to disclose interest received or accrued during each taxable year on their returns with respect to federal income taxes. Section 1276 of the Code provides for ordinary income tax treatment of gain recognized upon the disposition of a tax-exempt obligation, such as the Bonds, if such obligation was acquired at a "market discount" and if the fixed "A maturity of such obligation is equal to, or exceeds, one year from the date of issue. Such treatment applies to "market discount bonds" to the extent such gain does not exceed the accrued market discount (defined below) of such bonds; although for this purpose, a de minimis amount of market discount is ignored. A "market discount bond" is one which is acquired by the owner at a purchase price which is less than the stated redemption price at maturity or, in the case of a bond issued at an original issue discount, the "revised issue price" (i.e., the issue price plus accrued original issue discount). The "accrued market discount" is the amount which bears the same ratio to the market discount as the number of days during which the holder holds the obligation bears to the number of days between the acquisition date and the final maturity date. State,Local,and Foreign Taxes Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax implications resulting from the receipt or accrual of interest on or the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of the Bonds under applicable state or local laws. Foreign investors should also consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences unique to investors who are not United States persons. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations Section 265(a) of the Code provides, in pertinent part, that interest paid or incurred by a taxpayer, including a "financial institution," on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations is not deductible by such taxpayer in determining taxable income. Section 265(b) of the Code provides an exception to the disallowance of such deduction for any interest expense paid or incurred on indebtedness of a taxpayer which is a "financial institution" allocable to tax-exempt obligations, other than certain "private activity bonds," which are designated by a "qualified small issuer" as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." A "qualified small issuer" is any governmental issuer (together with any subordinate issuers) who issues no more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations during the calendar year. Section 265(b)(5) of the Code defines the term "financial institution" as referring to any corporation described in section 585(a)(2) of the Code or any person accepting deposits from the public in the ordinary course of such person's trade or business which is subject to federal or state supervision as a financial institution. The District will designate the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of section 265(b) of the Code. In furtherance of that designation, the District will take such action,which would assure, or to refrain from such action which would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." Potential purchasers should be aware that if the issue price to the public exceeds $10,000,000, then such obligations might fail to satisfy the$10,000,000 limitation and the obligations would not be "qualified tax-exempt obligations. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION In the Bond Order, the District is obligated to provide certain updated financial information and operating data annually and timely notice of specified material events, to certain information vendors for the benefit of the registered and beneficial owners of the Bonds. This information will be available to securities brokers and others who subscribe to receive the information from the vendors.
