B. the first paragraph shall be deleted and the following will be inserted: "THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS, in Tarrant and Denton Counties, Texas (the "Issuer"), being a political subdivision and municipal corporation of the State of Texas, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Owner specified above, or registered assigns (hereinafter called the "Registered Owner"), on February 15 in each of the years, in the principal installments and bearing interest at the per annum rates set forth in the following schedule: Principal Years Installments Interest Rates (Information from Section 2 to be inserted) Ordinance 700 Page 11 of 26 The Issuer promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof (calculated on the basis of a 360 -day year of twelve 30 -day months) from the Delivery Date specified above at the respective Interest Rate per annum specified above. Interest is payable on February 15, 2014, and semiannually on each August 15 and February 15 thereafter to the date of payment of the principal installment specified above, or the date of redemption prior to maturity; except, that if this Certificate is required to be authenticated and the date of its authentication is later than the first Record Date (hereinafter defined), such Principal Amount shall bear interest from the interest payment date next preceding the date of authentication, unless such date of authentication is after any Record Date but on or before the next following interest payment date, in which case such principal amount shall bear interest from such next following interest payment date; provided, however, that if on the date of authentication hereof the interest on the Certificate or Certificates, if any, for which this Certificate is being exchanged is due but has not been paid, then this Certificate shall bear interest from the date to which such interest has been paid in full." C. The Initial Certificate shall be numbered "T-1." (a) A special "Interest and Sinking Fund" is hereby created and shall be established and maintained by the Issuer at an official depository bank of said Issuer. Said Interest and Sinking Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of said Issuer, and shall be used only for paying the interest on and principal of said Certificates. All amounts received from the sale of the Certificates as accrued interest shall be deposited upon receipt to the Interest and Sinking Fund, and all ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of said Certificates shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit of said Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year while any of said Certificates are outstanding and unpaid, the governing body of said Issuer shall compute and ascertain a rate and amount of ad valorem tax that will be sufficient to raise and produce the money required to pay the interest on said Certificates as such interest comes due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of said Certificates as such principal matures (but never less than 2%, of the original amount of said Certificates as a sinking fund each year); and said tax shall be based on the latest approved tax rolls of said Issuer, with full allowances being made for tax delinquencies and the cost of tax collection. Said rate and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby levied, and is hereby ordered to be levied, against all taxable property in said Issuer, for each year while any of said Certificates are outstanding and unpaid, and said tax shall be assessed and collected each such year and deposited to the credit of the aforesaid Interest and Sinking Fund. Said ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of said Certificates, as such interest comes due and such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law. (b) The Certificates are additionally secured by revenues of the Issuer's waterworks and sewer system that remain after the payment of all maintenance and operation expenses thereof, and all debt service, reserve and other requirements in connection with all of the Issuer's revenue obligations (now or hereafter outstanding) that are secured by a lien on all or any part of the net revenues of the Issuer's waterworks and sewer system, constituting "Surplus Revenues", not to exceed $1,000. The Issuer shall deposit such Surplus Revenues to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund created pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section, to the extent necessary to pay the principal and interest on the Certificates. Notwithstanding the requirements of subsection (a) of this section, if Surplus Revenues or other lawfully available moneys of the Issuer are actually on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund in advance of the time when ad valorem taxes are scheduled to be levied for any year, then the amount of taxes that otherwise would have been required to be levied pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section may be reduced to the extent and by the amount of the Surplus Revenues or other lawfully available funds then on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund. Ordinance 700 Page 12 of 26 (c) Article 1208, Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Certificates of Obligation and the pledge of the taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the Issuer under this Section and is therefore valid, effective, and perfected. Should Texas law be amended at any time while the Certificates of Obligation are outstanding and unpaid, the result of such amendment being that the pledge of the taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the Issuer under this Section and Section 8, respectively, is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code, in order to preserve to the registered owners of the Certificates of Obligation a security interest in said pledge, the Issuer agrees to take such measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing of a security interest in said pledge to occur. (a) Any Certificate and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired and no longer outstanding (a 'Defeased Certificate") within the meaning of this Ordinance, except to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section, when payment of the principal of such Certificate, plus interest thereon to the due date (whether such due date be by reason of maturity or otherwise) either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such due date by irrevocably depositing with or making available to the Paying Agent/Registrar in accordance with an escrow agreement or other instrument (the "Future Escrow Agreement") for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to make such payment or (2) Defeasance Securities that mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide for such payment, and when proper arrangements have been made by the Issuer with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Certificate shall be deemed to be a Defeased Certificate hereunder, as aforesaid, such Certificate and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by, payable from, or entitled to the benefits of, the ad valorem taxes herein levied and pledged as provided in this Ordinance, and such principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or Defeasance Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, it is hereby provided that any determination not to redeem Defeased Certificates that is made in conjunction with the payment arrangements specified in subsection 6(a)(i) or (ii) shall not be irrevocable, provided that: (1) in the proceedings providing for such payment arrangements, the Issuer expressly reserves the right to call the Defeased Certificates for redemption; (2) gives notice of the reservation of that right to the owners of the Defeased Certificates immediately following the making of the payment arrangements; and (3) directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorizes. (b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar may at the written direction of the Issuer be invested in Defeasance Securities, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from such Defeasance Securities received by the Paying Agent/Registrar that is not required for the payment of the Certificates and interest thereon, with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be turned over to the Issuer, or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer. Any Future Escrow Agreement pursuant to which the money and/or Defeasance Securities are held for the payment of Defeased Certificates may contain provisions permitting the investment or reinvestment of such moneys in Defeasance Securities or the substitution of other Defeasance Securities upon the satisfaction of the requirements specified in subsection 6(a)(i) or (ii). All income from such Defeasance Securities received by the Paying Agent/Registrar which is not required for the payment of the Defeased Certificates, with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be remitted to the Issuer or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer. Ordinance 700 Page 13 of 26 (c) The term "Defeasance Securities" means any securities and obligations now or hereafter authorized by State law that are eligible to refund, retire or otherwise discharge obligations such as the Certificates. (d) Until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Certificates the same as if they had not been defeased, and the Issuer shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Ordinance. (e) In the event that the Issuer elects to defease less than all of the principal amount of Certificates of a maturity, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall select, or cause to be selected, such amount of Certificates by such random method as it deems fair and appropriate. SECTIOTI 7. DA1,711AGED, T714TILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED (a) Replacement Certificates. In the event any outstanding Certificate is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed and delivered, a new certificate of the same principal amount, maturity and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, in replacement for such Certificate in the manner hereinafter provided. (b) Application for Replacement Certificates. Application for replacement of damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates shall be made by the registered owner thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar.

Also, in every case of loss, theft or destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft or destruction of such Certificate, as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a Certificate, the registered owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Certificate so damaged or mutilated. (c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this , in the event any such Certificate shall have matured, and no default has occurred that is then continuing in the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Certificate, the Issuer may authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Certificate) instead of issuing a replacement Certificate, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section. (d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Certificates. Prior to the issuance of any replacement certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such Certificate with all legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates duly issued under this Ordinance. (e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Certificates. In accordance with Sec. 1206.022, Government Code, this Section 7 of this Ordinance shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such replacement certificate without necessity of further action by the governing body of the Issuer or any other body or person, and the duty of the replacement of such certificates is hereby authorized and Ordinance 700 Page 14 of 26 imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 3(a) of this Ordinance for Certificates issued in conversion and exchange for other Certificates.

In furtherance thereof, the Issuer covenants as follows: (1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds or the projects financed by the Certificates (the "Project") are so used, such amounts, whether or not received by the Issuer, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Ordinance or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service on the Certificates, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code; (2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates or the projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a "private business use" that is "related" and not "disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use; (3) to take any action to assure that no amount that is greater than the lesser of $5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state or local governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code; (4) to refrain from taking any action that would otherwise result in the Certificates being treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code; (5) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Certificates being "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code; (6) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Certificates, directly or indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds that were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) that produces a materially higher yield over the term of the Certificates, other than investment property acquired with — (A) proceeds of the Certificates invested for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Certificates are issued, (B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of section 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and (C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates; Ordinance 700 Page 15 of 26 (7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Certificates or amounts treated as proceeds of the Certificates, as may be necessary, so that the Certificates do not otherwise contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings); (8) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Certificates) an amount that is at least equal to 90 percent 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 Certificates have been paid in full, 100 percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section 148(f) of the Code; and (9) to assure that the proceeds of the Certificates will be used solely for new money. (b) Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (a)(8), a "Rebate Fund" is hereby established by the Issuer for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such Fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without limitation the Certificateholders. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with section 148 of the Code. (c) Use of Proceeds. For purposes of the foregoing covenants (a)(1) and (a)(2), the Issuer understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of the refunding bonds, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded obligations expended prior to the date of issuance of the Certificates. It is the understanding of the Issuer that the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated that modify or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Certificates, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Certificates under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated that impose additional requirements applicable to the Certificates, the Issuer agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Certificates under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor, the Town Manager or the Finance Director to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the Issuer, that may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Certificates.

The foregoing notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not expend proceeds of the sale of the Certificates or investment earnings thereon more than 60 days after the earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary of the delivery of the Certificates, or (2) the date the Certificates are retired, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally -recognized bond counsel that such expenditure will not adversely affect the status, for federal income tax purposes, of the Certificates or the interest thereon. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest. Ordinance 700 Page 16 of 26 (e) Disposition of Projects. The Issuer covenants that the Projects will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the Issuer of cash or other compensation, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally -recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Certificates. For purposes of the foregoing, the portion of the property comprising personal property and disposed in the ordinary course shall not be treated as a transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains a legal opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax proposes from gross income of the interest. (f) Designation as Qualified Tax -Exempt Obligations. The Issuer hereby designates the Certificates as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" as defined in section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In furtherance of such designation, the Issuer represents, covenants and warrants the following: (a) that during the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued, the Issuer (including any subordinate entities) has not designated nor will designate tax-exempt obligations, which when aggregated with the Certificates, will result in more than $10,000,000 of "qualified tax-exempt obligations" being issued; (b) that the Issuer reasonably anticipates that the amount of tax-exempt obligations issued, during the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued, by the Issuer (or any subordinate entities) will not exceed $10,000,000; and, (c) that the Issuer will take such action or refrain from such action as necessary, and as more particularly set forth in this Section, in order that the Certificates will not be considered "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code.

During each year while any of said Certificates are outstanding and unpaid, the governing body of said Issuer shall compute and ascertain a rate and amount of ad valorem tax that will be sufficient to raise and produce the money required to pay the interest on said Certificates as such interest comes due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of said Certificates as such principal matures (but never less than 2% of the original amount of said Certificates as a sinking fund each year); and said tax shall be based on the latest approved tax rolls of said Issuer, with full allowances being made for tax delinquencies and the cost of tax collection. Said rate and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby levied, and is hereby ordered to be levied, against all taxable property in said Issuer, for each year while any of said Certificates are outstanding and unpaid, and said tax shall be assessed and collected each such year and deposited to the credit of the aforesaid Interest and Sinking Fund. Said ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of said Certificates, as such interest comes due and such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law. (b) The Certificates are additionally secured by revenues of the Issuer's waterworks and sewer system that remain after the payment of all maintenance and operation expenses thereof, and all debt service, reserve and other requirements in connection with all of the Issuer's revenue obligations (now or hereafter outstanding) that are secured by a lien on all or any part of the net revenues of the Issuer's waterworks and sewer system, constituting "Surplus Revenues", not to exceed $1,000. The Issuer shall deposit such Surplus Revenues to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund created pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section, to the extent necessary to pay the principal and interest on the Certificates. Notwithstanding the requirements of subsection (a) of this section, if Surplus Revenues or other lawfully available moneys of the Issuer are actually on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund in advance of the time when ad valorem taxes are scheduled to be levied for any year, then the amount of taxes that otherwise would have been required to be levied pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section may be reduced to the extent and by the amount of the Surplus Revenues or other lawfully available funds then on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund. (c) Article 1208, Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Certificates of Obligation and the pledge of the taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the Issuer under this Section and is therefore valid, effective, and perfected. Should Texas law be amended at any time while the Certificates of Obligation are outstanding and unpaid, the result of such amendment being that the pledge of the taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the Issuer under this Section and Section 8, respectively, is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code, in order to preserve to the registered owners of the Certificates of Obligation a security interest in said pledge, the Issuer agrees to take such measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing of a security interest in said pledge to occur. SECTION 6. DEFEASANCE OF CERTIFICATES. (a) Any Certificate and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased Certificate") within the meaning of this Ordinance, except to the extent Ordinance 700 Page 13 of 27 provided in subsection (d) of this Section, when payment of the principal of such Certificate, plus interest thereon to the due date (whether such due date be by reason of maturity or otherwise) either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such due date by irrevocably depositing with or making available to the Paying Agent/Registrar in accordance with an escrow agreement or other instrument (the "Future Escrow Agreement") for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to make such payment or (2) Defeasance Securities that mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide for such payment, and when proper arrangements have been made by the Issuer with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Certificate shall be deemed to be a Defeased Certificate hereunder, as aforesaid, such Certificate and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by, payable from, or entitled to the benefits of, the ad valorem taxes herein levied and pledged as provided in this Ordinance, and such principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or Defeasance Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, it is hereby provided that any determination not to redeem Defeased Certificates that is made in conjunction with the payment arrangements specified in subsection 6(a)(i) or (ii) shall not be irrevocable, provided that: (1) in the proceedings providing for such payment arrangements, the Issuer expressly reserves the right to call the Defeased Certificates for redemption; (2) gives notice of the reservation of that right to the owners of the Defeased Certificates immediately following the making of the payment arrangements; and (3) directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorizes. (b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar may at the written direction of the Issuer be invested in Defeasance Securities, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from such Defeasance Securities received by the Paying Agent/Registrar that is not required for the payment of the Certificates and interest thereon, with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be turned over to the Issuer, or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer. Any Future Escrow Agreement pursuant to which the money and/or Defeasance Securities are held for the payment of Defeased Certificates may contain provisions permitting the investment or reinvestment of such moneys in Defeasance Securities or the substitution of other Defeasance Securities upon the satisfaction of the requirements specified in subsection 6(a)(i) or (ii). All income from such Defeasance Securities received by the Paying Agent/Registrar which is not required for the payment of the Defeased Certificates, with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be remitted to the Issuer or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer. (c) The term 'Defeasance Securities" means any securities and obligations now or hereafter authorized by State law that are eligible to refund, retire or otherwise discharge obligations such as the Certificates. (d) Until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Certificates the same as if they had not been defeased, and the Issuer shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Ordinance. (e) In the event that the Issuer elects to defease less than all of the principal amount of Certificates of a maturity, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall select, or cause to be selected, such amount of Certificates by such random method as it deems fair and appropriate. Ordinance 700 Page 14 of 27 SECTION 7. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. (a) Replacement Certificates. In the event any outstanding Certificate is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed and delivered, a new certificate of the same principal amount, maturity and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, in replacement for such Certificate in the manner hereinafter provided. (b) Application for Replacement Certificates. Application for replacement of damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates shall be made by the registered owner thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft or destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner applying for a replacement certificate shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent/Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss or damage with respect thereto. Also, in every case of loss, theft or destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft or destruction of such Certificate, as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a Certificate, the registered owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Certificate so damaged or mutilated. (c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this , in the event any such Certificate shall have matured, and no default has occurred that is then continuing in the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Certificate, the Issuer may authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Certificate) instead of issuing a replacement Certificate, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section. (d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Certificates. Prior to the issuance of any replacement certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such Certificate with all legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates duly issued under this Ordinance. (e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Certificates. In accordance with Sec. 1206.022, Government Code, this Section 7 of this Ordinance shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such replacement certificate without necessity of further action by the governing body of the Issuer or any other body or person, and the duty of the replacement of such certificates is hereby authorized and imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 3(a) of this Ordinance for Certificates issued in conversion and exchange for other Certificates. SECTION 8. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON THE CERTIFICATES. (a) Covenants. The Issuer covenants to take any action necessary to assure, or refrain from any action that would adversely affect, the treatment of the Certificates as obligations described in section 103 of the Code, the interest on which is not includable in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of federal income taxation. In furtherance thereof, the Issuer covenants as follows: Ordinance 700 Page 15 of 27 (1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds or the projects financed by the Certificates (the "Project") are so used, such amounts, whether or not received by the Issuer, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Ordinance or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service on the Certificates, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code; (2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates or the projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a "private business use" that is "related" and not "disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use; (3) to take any action to assure that no amount that is greater than the lesser of $5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state or local governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code; (4) to refrain from taking any action that would otherwise result in the Certificates being treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code; (5) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Certificates being "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code; (6) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Certificates, directly or indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds that were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) that produces a materially higher yield over the term of the Certificates, other than investment property acquired with — (A) proceeds of the Certificates invested for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Certificates are issued, (B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of section 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and (C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates; (7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Certificates or amounts treated as proceeds of the Certificates, as may be necessary, so that the Certificates do not otherwise contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings); (8) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Certificates) an amount that is at least equal to 90 percent 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 Certificates have been paid in full, 100 percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section 148(f) of the Code; and Ordinance 700 Page 16 of 27 (9) to assure that the proceeds of the Certificates will be used solely for new money. (b) Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (a)(8), a "Rebate Fund" is hereby established by the Issuer for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such Fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without limitation the Certificateholders. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with section 148 of the Code. (c) Use of Proceeds. For purposes of the foregoing covenants (a)(1) and (a)(2), the Issuer understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of the refunding bonds, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded obligations expended prior to the date of issuance of the Certificates. It is the understanding of the Issuer that the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated that modify or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Certificates, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Certificates under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated that impose additional requirements applicable to the Certificates, the Issuer agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Certificates under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor, the Town Manager or the Finance Director to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the Issuer, that may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Certificates. (d) Allocation of, and Limitation on, Expenditures for the Project. The Issuer covenants to account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings to be used for the construction and acquisition of the Project on its books and records by allocating proceeds to expenditures within 18 months of the later of the date that (1) the expenditure is made, or (2) the Project is completed. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not expend proceeds of the sale of the Certificates or investment earnings thereon more than 60 days after the earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary of the delivery of the Certificates, or (2) the date the Certificates are retired, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally -recognized bond counsel that such expenditure will not adversely affect the status, for federal income tax purposes, of the Certificates or the interest thereon. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest. (e) Disposition of Projects. The Issuer covenants that the Projects will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the Issuer of cash or other compensation, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally -recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Certificates. For purposes of the foregoing, the portion of the property comprising personal property and disposed in the ordinary course shall not be treated as a transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains a legal opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax proposes from gross income of the interest. (f) Designation as Qualified Tax -Exempt Obligations. The Issuer hereby designates the Certificates as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" as defined in section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In furtherance of such designation, the Issuer represents, covenants and warrants the following: (a) that Ordinance 700 Page 17 of 27 during the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued, the Issuer (including any subordinate entities) has not designated nor will designate tax-exempt obligations, which when aggregated with the Certificates, will result in more than $10,000,000 of "qualified tax-exempt obligations" being issued; (b) that the Issuer reasonably anticipates that the amount of tax-exempt obligations issued, during the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued, by the Issuer (or any subordinate entities) will not exceed $10,000,000; and, (c) that the Issuer will take such action or refrain from such action as necessary, and as more particularly set forth in this Section, in order that the Certificates will not be considered "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code. SECTION 9. SALE OF CERTIFICATES AND APPROVAL OF OFFICIAL STATEMENT; FURTHER PROCEDURES. (a) The Certificates are hereby sold and shall be delivered to Southwest Securities, Inc. (the "Purchaser"), for the purchase price of $9,575,238.18 (representing the principal amount of the Certificates plus a net premium of $319,591.75 (with $180,000.00 of such premium to be deposited into the construction fund to pay costs of the Projects, $139,573.57 of such premium to be used to pay costs of issuance, including underwriter's discount) and $18.18 to be deposited into the Interest and Sinking Fund) and less an Underwriter's discount on the Certificates of $64,353.57, pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Purchase Agreement, which the Mayor is authorized to execute and deliver.

The distribution and use of the Preliminary Official Statement dated March 25, 2013, prior to the date hereof is hereby ratified and confirmed.

In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any Certificate shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Certificate, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery. SECTION 10. CUSTODY, APPROVAL, AND REGISTRATION OF CERTIFICATES; BOND COUNSEL'S OPINION; CUSIP NUMBERS AND CONTINGENT INSURANCE PROVISION, IF OBTAINED; ENGAGEMENT OF BOND COUNSEL.

Upon registration of the Certificates said Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a deputy designated in writing to act for said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate attached to such Certificates, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile, on such Certificate. The approving legal opinion of the Issuer's Bond Counsel and the assigned CUSIP numbers may, at the option of the Issuer, be printed on the Certificates issued and delivered under this Ordinance, but neither shall have any legal effect, and shall be solely for the convenience and information of the Ordinance 700 Page 18 of 27 registered owners of the Certificates. In addition, if bond insurance is obtained, the Certificates may bear an appropriate legend as provided by the insurer. (b) The obligation of the initial purchaser to accept delivery of the Certificates is subject to the initial purchaser being furnished with the final, approving opinion of McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., bond counsel to the Issuer, which opinion shall be dated as of and delivered on the date of initial delivery of the Certificates to the initial purchaser. The engagement of such firm as bond counsel to the Issuer in connection with issuance, sale and delivery of the Certificates is hereby approved and confirmed. The execution and delivery of an engagement letter between the Issuer and such firm, with respect to such services as bond counsel, is hereby authorized in such form as may be approved by the Mayor, and the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute such engagement letter.

Interest earnings derived from the investment of proceeds from the sale of the Certificates shall be used along with other certificate proceeds for the Project; provided that after completion of such purpose, if any of such interest earnings remain on hand, such interest earnings shall be deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund. It is further provided, however, that any interest earnings on certificate proceeds that are required to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to Section 9 hereof in order to prevent the Certificates from being arbitrage bonds shall be so rebated and not considered as interest earnings for the purposes of this Section. SECTION 12. CONSTRUCTION FUND. (a) The Issuer hereby creates and establishes and shall maintain on the books of the Issuer a separate fund to be entitled the "Series 2013 Certificate of Obligation Construction Fund" for use by the Issuer for payment of all lawful costs associated with the acquisition and construction of the Project as hereinbefore provided.

(b) The Issuer may place proceeds of the Certificates (including investment earnings thereon) and amounts deposited into the Interest and Sinking Fund in investments authorized by the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code, as amended; provided, however, that the Issuer hereby covenants that the proceeds of the sale of the Certificates will be used as soon as practicable for the purposes for which the Certificates are issued.

(ii) The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the registered owners and beneficial owners of the Certificates, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder to any other person. The Issuer undertakes to provide only the financial information, operating data, financial statements, and notices which it has expressly agreed to provide pursuant to this Section and does not hereby undertake to provide any other information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of the Issuer's financial results, condition, or prospects or hereby undertake to update any information provided in accordance with this Section or otherwise, except as expressly provided herein.

The Issuer may also amend or repeal the provisions of this continuing disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable provision of the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that such provisions of the Rule are invalid, but only if and to the extent that the provisions of this sentence would not prevent an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Certificates in the primary offering of the Certificates. If the Issuer so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include with any amended financial information or operating data next provided in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section an explanation, in narrative form, of the reason for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of financial information or operating data so provided.

This offer is made subject to the Issuer's written acceptance hereof on or before 10:00 p.m., Westlake, Texas time, on April 2, 2013, and, if not so accepted, will be subject to withdrawal by the Underwriter upon written notice delivered to the Issuer at any time prior to the acceptance hereof by the Issuer. Terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the same meanings set forth in the Ordinance (as defined herein) or in the Official Statement (as defined herein). 1. Purchase and Sale of the Certificates. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, the Underwriter hereby agrees to purchase from the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby agrees to sell and deliver to the Underwriter, all, but not less than all, of the Issuer's $9,320,000 Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2013 (the "Certificates"). The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Certificates pursuant to this Agreement is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Issuer and the Underwriter, (ii) in connection therewith and with the discussions, undertakings, and procedures leading up to the consummation of this transaction, the Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not acting as the agent or fiduciary of the Issuer, (iii) the Underwriter has not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Issuer with respect to the offering described herein or the discussions, undertakings, and procedures leading thereto (regardless of whether the Underwriter has provided other services or is currently providing other services to the Issuer on other matters) HOU:3303038.2 and the Underwriter has no obligation to the Issuer with respect to the offering described herein except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, and (iv) the Issuer has consulted its own legal, financial, and other advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. The principal amount of the Certificates to be issued, the dated date therefor, the maturities and redemption provisions and interest rates per annum are set forth in Schedule I hereto. The Certificates shall be as described in, and shall be issued and secured under and pursuant to the provisions of an ordinance adopted by the Issuer on April 2, 2013 (the "Ordinance ").

Delivered to the Issuer herewith is the Underwriter's good faith corporate check payable to the order of the Issuer in the amount of $93,200.00 (the "Check").

See "DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES - Security." Tax Matters In the opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Certificates will be excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation under statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions existing on the date thereof, subject to the matters described under "TAX MATTERS" herein, including the alternative minimum tax on corporations.

Sources and Uses of Funds The following is a summary of the anticipated sources and uses of proceeds of funds (excluding accrued interest) in connection with the issuance of the Certificates: Sources of Funds: Principal Amount of Certificates $9,320,000 Net Original Issue Premium (Discount) 319,592 Total Sources of Funds 9 639 592 Uses of Funds: Deposit to Project Fund $9,500,000 Issuance Costs 75,238 Underwriting Discount 64,354 Total Uses of Funds 639 5 2 DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES General The Certificates are dated April 1, 2013. Interest on the Certificates, at the rates set forth on page i hereof, will accrue from the date of their initial delivery and will be payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2014. The Certificates are stated to mature on February 15 in the years and in the principal amounts set forth on page i following the cover page hereof. The Certificates will be initially issued utilizing the Book -Entry -Only System of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), and will be in fully registered form, payable to Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. See 'Book -Entry -Only System" below. The Certificates are issued only as fully registered obligations in the denomination of $5,000 principal amounts or any integral multiple thereof (an "Authorized Denomination"), within a stated maturity and of like interest rate. Principal and redemption price of the Certificates is payable on the maturity or redemption date upon surrender at the corporate trust office of U.S. Bank National Association (the "Paying Agent/Registrar"). Interest on the Certificates payable on any interest payment date shall be paid to the owner (the "Owner") whose name appears in the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar (the "Register") at the close of business on the Record Date (the last day of the month immediately preceding an interest payment date) and shall be paid by the Paying Agent/Registrar by check sent United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the address of the Owner recorded in the Register or by such other method, acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar, requested by, and at the risk and expense of, the Owner. So long as the Certificates are in book -entry -only form and are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, payment of the principal of and interest on the Certificates will be made to the beneficial owners thereof as described below under "Book -Entry -Only System." In the event of a non-payment of interest on a scheduled payment date with respect to the Certificates, that remains unpaid for 30 days thereafter, the Ordinance requires the Paying Agent/Registrar to establish a Special Record Date, if and when funds for the payment of such interest are received from the Issuer. Notice of the Special Record Date and of the scheduled payment date of the past due interest (the "Special Payment Date" that shall be 15 days after the Special Record Date) shall be sent at least five business days prior to the Special Record Date by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the address of each Owner of a Certificate appearing on the books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the last business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice. If the date specified for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Certificates is a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day on which banking institutions in the city where the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized or required to be closed, then such payment will be made on the next succeeding day which is not one of the foregoing days, without additional interest and with the same force and effect as if made on the specified date for such payment. Book -Entry -Only System This section describes how ownership of the Certificates are to be transferred and how the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates are to be paid to and credited by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC'), New York New York, while the Certificates are registered in its nominee name. The information in this section concerning DTC and the Book -Entry -Only System has been provided by DTC for use in disclosure documents such as this Official Statement. The Issuer believes the source of such information to be reliable, but takes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. The Issuer cannot and does not give any assurance that (1) DTC will distribute payment of debt service on the Certificates, or redemption or other notices to DTC Participants, (2) DTC Participants or others will distribute debt service payments paid to DTC or its nominee (as the registered owner of the Certificates), or redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that they will do so on a timely basis, or (3) DTC will serve and act in the manner described in this Official Statement. The current rules applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the current procedures of DTC to be followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on file with DTC. 2 DTC will act as securities depository for the Certificates. The Certificates will be issued as fully -registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Certificates, in the aggregate principal amount of each such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest securities depository, 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 and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post -trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book - entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's rating of "AA+" The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. Purchases of Certificates under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Certificates on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Certificate ("Beneficial Owner") is in tum to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, 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 interests in the Certificates are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Certificates, except in the event that use of the book -entry system for the Certificates is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Certificates deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Certificates with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Certificates; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Certificates are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect 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. Beneficial Owners of Certificates may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Certificates, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Certificate documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Certificates may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Certificates for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the Paying Agent/Registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Certificates within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Certificates unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer 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 Certificates are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Redemption proceeds and principal and interest payments on the Certificates will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar, on payable dates in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as in 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 or the Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds and principal and interest to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Certificates purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to the Tender Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Certificates by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant's interest in the Certificates, on DTC's records, to the Tender Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Certificates in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Certificates are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC's records and followed by a book -entry credit of tendered Certificates to the Tender Agent's DTC account. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Certificates at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, the Certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, the Certificates will be printed and delivered. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book -entry system has been obtained from sources that the Issuer believes to be reliable, but the Issuer takes not responsibility for the accuracy thereof. Authority for Issuance The Certificates are authorized and issued pursuant to the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas, including particularly Chapter 271, Subchapter C, Texas Local Government Code, as amended, and the Ordinance. Security and Source of Payment The Certificates will constitute direct obligations of the Issuer, payable from ad valorem taxes levied against all taxable property located within the Issuer, within the limitations prescribed by law. The Ordinance irrevocably pledges such ad valorem taxes to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Certificates while they remain outstanding. See "ISSUER DEBT AND AD VALOREM TAX INFORMATION" herein. The Constitution of the State of Texas provides that the ad valorem tax levied by the Issuer for general purposes and for the purpose of paying debt service requirements of the Issuer's general obligation debt shall not exceed $1.50 for each $100 of assessed valuation of taxable property. There is no limitation within the $1.50 rate for interest and sinking fund purposes. Administratively, however, the Attorney General of the State of Texas will not permit 4 allocation of more than $1.00 of the $1.50 maximum tax rate for all tax supported debt based on a 90% collection rate. Additionally, the Certificates are secured by and payable from a limited pledge of the revenues (not to exceed $1,000) of the Issuer's waterworks and sewer system, remaining after payment of all operation and maintenance expenses thereof, and all debt service, reserve, and other requirements in connection with all of the Issuer's revenue bonds or other obligations (now or hereafter outstanding), which are payable from all or any part of the net revenues of the Issuer's waterworks and sewer system (the "Revenues"). Source: Issuer's Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports for the fiscal years indicated. Notwithstanding the requirements of the Ordinance to levy and collect an ad valorem tax to pay debt service on the Certificates, if Revenues or other lawfully available moneys of the Issuer are actually on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund in advance of the time when ad valorem taxes are scheduled to be levied for any year, then the amount of taxes that otherwise would have been required to be levied may be reduced to the extent and by the amount of the Surplus Revenues or other lawfully available funds then on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund. Optional Redemption The Issuer reserves the right, at its option, to redeem Certificates maturing or subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on and after February 15, 2024, in whole or in part in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, on February 15, 2023, or any date thereafter, at the par value thereof plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If less than all of the Certificates within a maturity are to be redeemed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall determine by lot the Certificates, or portions thereof, within such maturity to be redeemed. Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption The Certificates maturing on February 15 in the years 2024, 2026, 2028, 2033, 2036,.2039 and 2043 (the "Term Certificates") shall be subject to mandatory redemption in part prior to maturity at the redemption price of par and accrued interest to the date of redemption on the dates and in the respective principal amounts, set forth in the following schedule: Tenn Certificate Maturity February 15, 2024 Redemption Date Amount 2/15/2023 $230,000 2/15/2024 (matu>ity) 240,000 Tenn Certificate Maturity February 15, 2033 Redemption Date Amount 2/15/2032 $595,000 2/15/2033 (maturity) 315,000 Tenn Certificate Maturity FYE Sept. 30 Redemption Date 2010 2011 2012 Utility Fund Operating Revenues $ 2,208,390 $ 3,224,534 $ 3.044,045 Utility Fund Operating Expenses 1,992,815 2,190,376 2,383,045 Utility Fund Operating Income ("Revenues')215,575 1 034 158 660 315 Source: Issuer's Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports for the fiscal years indicated.

Notice of Redemption Not less than 30 days prior to a redemption date for the Certificates, the Issuer shall cause a notice of redemption to be sent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to each Owner of a Certificate to be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the address of the Owner appearing in the Register at the close of business on the business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice. ANY NOTICE GIVEN SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED TO HAVE BEEN DULY GIVEN, WHETHER OR NOT THE OWNER RECEIVES SUCH NOTICE. NOTICE HAVING BEEN SO GIVEN AND ALL OTHER 'CONDITIONS TO REDEMPTION ARE SATISFIED, THE CERTIFICATES CALLED FOR REDEMPTION SHALL BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE ON THE SPECIFIED REDEMPTION DATE, AND, NOTWITHSTANDING THAT ANY CERTIFICATE OR PORTION THEREOF HAS NOT BEEN SURRENDERED FOR PAYMENT, INTEREST ON SUCH CERTIFICATE OR PORTION THEREOF SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE. With respect to any optional redemption of the Certificates, unless certain prerequisites to such redemption required by the Ordinance have been met and money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest or maturity value on the Certificates to be redeemed will have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice will state that said redemption may, at the option of the Issuer, be conditional upon the satisfaction of such prerequisites and receipt of such money by the Paying Agent/Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption or upon any prerequisite set forth in such notice of redemption. If 'a conditional notice of redemption is given and such prerequisites to the redemption are not fulfilled, such notice will be of no force and effect, the Issuer will not redeem such Certificates, and the Paying Agent/Registrar will give notice in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that the Certificates have not been redeemed. The Paying Agent/Registrar and the Issuer, so long as a Book -Entry -Only System is used for the Certificates, will send any notice of redemption, notice of proposed amendment to the Ordinance or other notices with respect to the Certificates only to DTC. Any failure by DTC to advise any DTC participant, or of any DTC participant or indirect participant to notify the beneficial owner, shall not affect the validity of the redemption of the Certificates called for redemption or any other action premised on any such notice. Redemption of portions of the Certificates by the Issuer will reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Certificates held by DTC. In such event, DTC may implement, through its Book -Entry -Only System, a redemption of such Certificates held for the account of DTC participants in accordance with its rules or other agreements with DTC participants and then DTC participants and indirect participants may implement a redemption of such Certificates from the beneficial owners. Any such selection of Certificates to be redeemed will not be governed by the Ordinance and will not be conducted by the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent/Registrar will have any responsibility to DTC participants, indirect participants or the persons for whom DTC participants act as nominees, with respect to the payments on the Certificates or the providing of notice to DTC participants, indirect participants, or beneficial owners of the selection of portions of the Certificates for redemption. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES — Book -Entry -Only System" herein. Paying Agent/Registrar The initial Paying Agent/Registrar is U.S. Bank National Association, Dallas, Texas. In the Ordinance, the Issuer retains the right to replace the Paying Agent/Registrar. The Issuer covenants to maintain and provide a Paying Agent/Registrar at all times while the Certificates are outstanding, and any successor Paying Agent/Registrar shall 6 be a bank, trust company, financial institution or other entity duly qualified and legally authorized to serve as and perform the duties and services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Certificates. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Certificates, the Issuer agrees to promptly cause a written notice thereof to be sent to each Owner by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, which notice shall also give the effective date of the change and the address of the new Paying Agent/Registrar. If the Paying Agent/Registrar is replaced, the new Paying Agent/Registrar shall accept the previous Paying Agent/Registrar's records and act in the same capacity as the previous Paying Agent/Registrar. Transfer and Exchange In the event the Book -Entry -Only System shall be discontinued with respect to the Certificates, such Certificates may be transferred and exchanged on the Register only upon presentation and surrender thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar, and such transfer or exchange shall be without expense or service charge to the Owner, except for any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such registration, exchange and transfer. A Certificate may be assigned by the execution of an assignment form on the Certificate or by other instrument of transfer and assignment acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar. A new Certificate or Certificates will be delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar, in lieu of the Certificate being transferred or exchanged, at the Trust Office, or sent by United States mail, first . class, postage prepaid, to the new Owner or its designee. New Certificates registered and delivered in an exchange or transfer shall be in Authorized Denominations for any one stated maturity and for a like aggregate principal amount and interest rate as the Certificate or Certificates surrendered for exchange or transfer. Neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue, transfer or exchange any Certificate in whole or in part during the period commencing with the close of business on any Record Date or Special Record Date and ending on the day subsequent to the immediately following payment date or, with respect to any Certificate called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45 days of the date fixed for redemption, provided that such limitation of transfer shall not be applicable to the exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled balance of a Certificate. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall require payment by the Owner requesting such transfer or exchange of any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. Replacement Certificates If any Certificate is mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, a new Certificate in the same principal amount and bearing the same rate of interest as the Certificate so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost will be issued under the conditions set forth in the Ordinance. In the case of a mutilated Certificate, such new Certificate will be delivered only upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Certificate. In the case of any Certificate issued in lieu of and substitution for a Certificate which has been destroyed, stolen or lost, such new Certificate will be delivered only upon (a) the filing with the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar of evidence satisfactory to establish to the Paying Agent/Registrar proof of the ownership and the circumstances of loss, destruction or theft of such Certificate, and (b) the furnishing to the Paying Agent/Registrar of such security of indemnity satisfactory to it to hold it and the Issuer harmless. The person requesting the authentication and delivery of a new Certificate must comply with such other reasonable requirements as the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar may prescribe and pay such expenses as may be incurred in connection therewith. Amendments to the Ordinance In the Ordinance, the Issuer has reserved the right to amend the Ordinance without the consent of any holder for the purpose of amending or supplementing the Ordinance to (i) cure any ambiguity, defect or omission therein that does not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders, (ii) grant additional rights or security for the benefit of the holders, (iii) add events of default as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Ordinance that do not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders, (iv) qualify the Ordinance under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or corresponding provisions of federal laws from time to time in effect or (v) make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under the Ordinance that are not inconsistent with the provisions thereof and which, in the opinion of Bond Counsel for the Issuer, do not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders. 7 The Ordinance further provides that the holders of the Certificates aggregating in principal amount 51% of the outstanding Certificates shall have the right from time to time to approve any amendment not described above to the Ordinance if it is deemed necessary or desirable by the Issuer; provided, however, that without the consent of 100% of the holders in original principal amount of the then outstanding Certificates, no amendment may be made for the purpose of: (i) making any change in the maturity of any of the outstanding Certificates; (ii) reducing the rate of interest borne by any of the outstanding Certificates; (iii) reducing the amount of the principal of, or redemption premium, if any, payable on any outstanding Certificates; (iv) modifying the terms of payment of principal or of interest or redemption premium on outstanding Certificates, or imposing any condition with respect to such payment; or (v) changing the minimum percentage of the principal amount of the Certificates necessary for consent to such amendment. Reference is made to the Ordinance for further provisions relating to the amendment thereof. Defeasance The Ordinance provides for the defeasance of the Certificates when payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on Certificates, plus interest thereon to the due date thereof (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, redemption, or otherwise), is provided by irrevocably depositing with a paying agent or other authorized entity, in trust (1) money sufficient to make such payment or (2) Defeasance Securities, certified by an independent public accounting firm of national reputation to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times to insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to make such payment, and all necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of the paying agent for the respective series of Certificates. The Ordinance provides that "Defeasance Securities" means any securities and obligations now or hereafter authorized by State law that are eligible to discharge obligations such as the Certificates. Current State law permits defeasance with the following types of securities: (1) direct, noncallable obligations of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, (2) noncallable obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent, and (3) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent. The Issuer has additionally reserved the right, subject to satisfying the requirements of (1) and (2) above, to substitute other Defeasance Securities for the Defeasance Securities originally deposited, to reinvest the uninvested moneys on deposit for such defeasance and to withdraw for the benefit of the Issuer moneys in excess of the amount required for such defeasance. Upon such deposit as described above, such Certificates shall no longer be regarded to be outstanding or unpaid. After firm banking and financial arrangements for the discharge and final payment or redemption of the Certificates have been made as described above, all rights of the Issuer to initiate proceedings to call the Certificates for redemption or take any other action amending the terms of the Certificates are extinguished; provided, however, that the right to call the Certificates for redemption is not extinguished if the Issuer: (i) in the proceedings providing for the firm banking and financial arrangements, expressly reserves the right to call the Certificates for redemption; (ii) gives notice of the reservation of that right to the owners of the Certificates immediately following the making of the firm banking and financial arrangements; and (iii) directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorizes. There is no assurance that the current law will not be changed in a manner which would permit investments other than those described above to be made with amounts deposited to defease the Certificates. Because the Ordinance does not contractually limit such investments, registered owners may be deemed to have consented to defeasance with such other investments, notwithstanding the fact that such investments may not be of the same investment quality as those currently permitted under State law. There is no assurance that the ratings for U.S. Treasury securities used as Defeasance Securities or those for any other Defeasance Security will be maintained at any particular rating category. Certificateholders' Remedies The Ordinance establishes specific events of default with respect to the Certificates. If the Issuer defaults in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Certificates when due or the Issuer defaults in the observance or performance of any of the covenants, conditions, or obligations of the Issuer, the failure to perform which materially, adversely affects the rights of the owners of the Certificates, including but not limited to, their prospect or ability to be repaid in accordance with the Ordinance, and the continuation thereof for a period of 60 days after notice of such default is given by any owner to the Issuer, the Ordinance provides that any registered owner is entitled to seek a writ of mandamus from a court of proper jurisdiction requiring the Issuer to make such payment or observe and perform such covenants, obligations, or conditions. The issuance of a writ of mandamus may be sought if there is no other available remedy at law to compel performance of the Certificates or the Ordinance and the Issuer's obligations are not uncertain or disputed. The remedy of mandamus is controlled by equitable principles, so rests with the discretion of the court, but may not be arbitrarily refused. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Certificates in the event of default and, consequently, the remedy of mandamus may have to be relied upon from year to year. The Ordinance does not provide for the appointment of a trustee to represent the interest of the owners of the Certificates upon any failure of the Issuer to perform in accordance with the terms of the Ordinance, or upon any other condition and accordingly all legal actions to enforce such remedies would have to be undertaken at the initiative of, and be financed by, the registered owners. The Texas Supreme Court ruled in Tooke v. City of Mexia, 197 S.W. 3`d 325 (Tex. 2006), that a waiver of sovereign immunity in a contractual dispute must be provided for by statute in clear and unambiguous language. Because it is unclear whether the Texas legislature has effectively waived the Issuer's sovereign immunity from a suit for money damages, owners of the Certificates may not be able to bring such a suit against the Issuer for breach of the Certificates or Ordinance covenants. Even if a judgment against the Issuer could be obtained, it could not be enforced by direct levy and execution against the Issuer's property. Further, the registered owners cannot themselves foreclose on property within the Issuer or sell property within the Issuer to enforce the tax lien on taxable property to pay the principal of and interest on the Certificates. Furthermore, the Issuer is eligible to seek relief from its creditors under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 9"). Although Chapter 9 provides for the recognition of a security interest represented by a specifically pledged source of revenues, the pledge of ad valorem taxes in support of a general obligation of a bankrupt entity is not specifically recognized as a security interest under Chapter 9. Chapter 9 also includes an automatic stay provision that would prohibit, without Bankruptcy Court approval, the prosecution of any other legal action by creditors or owners of the Certificates of an entity which has sought protection under Chapter 9. Therefore, should the Issuer avail itself of Chapter 9 protection from creditors, the ability to enforce would be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (which could require that the action be heard in Bankruptcy Court instead of other federal or state court); and the Bankruptcy Code provides for broad discretionary powers of a Bankruptcy Court in administering any proceeding brought before it. The opinion of Bond Counsel will note.that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the Certificates are qualified with respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors and by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion. Initially, the only registered owner of the Certificates will be The Depository Trust Company. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES - Book -Entry -Only System" herein for a description of the duties of DTC with regard to ownership of Certificates.

The Issuer does not currently have specific plans to issue any additional new money tax supported obligations within the next 12 months. Regardless of the Issuer's future borrowing activities, the Issuer may be required to increase its annual ad valorem tax rate as a result of factors unrelated to the level of its outstanding debt and otherwise outside its control, including, for example, the following: (i) a reduction in its taxable assessed valuation, (ii) a reduction in tax collections, (iii) availability of sources other than ad valorem taxes currently being used to pay debt service, or (iv) changes in State law.

Property Tax Code General. Receipts from ad valorem taxation are one of the Issuer's principal sources of operational revenue and its principal source of funds for debt service payments. See "OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION." The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code, as amended (the "Property Tax Code"), relating to ad valorem taxation procedures. Property Tax Code and County -Wide ApUraisal District. Pursuant to Chapter 6 of the Texas Property Tax Code, as amended (the "Property Tax Code"), each county in the State comprises a single appraisal district with responsibility for recording and appraising property for all taxing units within the county, and each county establishes a single appraisal review board for the purpose of reviewing and equalizing the values established by the appraisal district. Chapter 25 of the Property Tax Code requires the appraisal district, by May 15 of each year or as soon thereafter as 15 practicable, to prepare appraisal records listing all property that is taxable in the appraisal district and stating the appraised value of each parcel or item. Property is required to be appraised as of January 1 of each year (except for business inventories which may be assessed as of September 1 and mineral reserves which are assessed on the basis of a monthly average), and Chapter 23 of the Property Tax Code generally requires appraisals at 100% of market value. Tax appraisers are authorized to use alternative methods (cost, income and market data comparison methods) to determine the market value of property, and the most appropriate method is to be used. Appraisals are subject to review by the appraisal review board, and under certain circumstances, taxpayers and taxing units (such as the Issuer) may appeal the orders of the appraisal review board by filing a petition for review in the district court. In such event, the value of the property in question will be determined by the court or by a jury if requested by any party. Absent any such appeal, the orders of the appraisal review board must be used by each taxing jurisdiction in establishing its tax rolls and tax rate. Based upon their respective relative total appraised values, school districts are each entitled to vote, with other taxing entities, upon the selection of members of the board of directors of the county -wide appraisal districts in their respective counties. Although each taxing unit retains the authority to establish its own tax rates and to levy and collect taxes each year, under the county -wide appraisal plan implemented by the Property Tax Code, the taxing units are unable to influence appraisal standards or determine the frequency of revaluation or reappraisal. Chapter 25 of the Property Tax Code requires each appraisal district to implement a plan for periodic reappraisal of property to update appraised values, and the plan must provide for reappraisal of all real property in the appraisal district at least once every three years. Property Subject to Taxation by the Issuer. Except for certain exemptions provided by Texas law, all real and tangible personal property and certain intangible personal property in each taxing unit, including the Issuer, is subject to taxation by such taxing unit. Principal categories of exempt property which may be exempted under Chapter 11 of the Property Tax Code include: 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 federal law; certain household goods, family supplies and personal effects that are not held or used for the production of income; farm products owned by the producer; certain property owned by charitable organizations, youth development associations, religious. organizations and qualified schools; designated historical sites; solar and wind powered energy devices; and certain tangible personal property known as "freeport goods." Effective for tax years 2008 and thereafter, Article VII, Section 1-n of the Texas Constitution provides for an exemption from taxation for "goods -in - transit," which are defined as personal property acquired or imported into the state and transported to another location inside or outside the state within 175 days of the date the property was acquired or imported into the state. The exemption excludes oil, natural gas, petroleum products, aircraft and special inventory, including motor vehicle, vessel and outboard motor, heavy equipment and manufactured housing inventory. After holding a public hearing, a taxing unit may take action by January 1 of the year preceding a tax year to tax goods -in -transit during the following tax year. A taxpayer may obtain only an exemption for "freeport goods" or "goods -in -transit" for items of personal property. In addition, owners of agricultural, timber and open space land may, under certain circumstances, request valuation of such land on the basis of productive capacity rather than market value. Article VIII, Section 2 of the Texas Constitution and Texas law mandate an additional exemption for disabled veterans and the surviving spouses and children of persons dying while on active duty in the armed forces, which exemption applies to either real or personal property and may range from $5,000 to $12,000. A taxing unit may also exempt portions of the taxable value of residential homesteads (see "Residential Homestead Exemption" below). New penalties will apply to taxes which have been wholly or partially exempted upon application of a taxpayer, if it is subsequently determined that the taxpayer did not qualify for the exemption. Residential Homestead Exemption. Pursuant to Article VIII, Section 1-b of the Texas Constitution and the Property Tax Code, the governing body of each political subdivision in the State, including the Issuer, is authorized to exempt from ad valorem taxes (1) up to 20 percent of the appraised value of residential homesteads but not less than $5,000, and (2) at least $3,000 of the appraised value of the residential homesteads of persons at least 65 years old and disabled persons. Article VIII, Section 1-b of the Texas Constitution provides that, with respect to the homestead exemptions granted thereunder, a taxing unit may nevertheless continue to levy taxes against such exempted property if (1) ad valorem taxes had been pledged for the payment of such taxing unit's debt incurred prior to the granting of such exemption, 16 and (2) the loss of ad valorem tax revenues, attributable to such exempted property would impair the taxing unit's obligation under the contract pursuant to which the debt was created. In addition to the foregoing exemptions available to all taxing units, Texas law authorizes additional homestead exemptions for school districts, including (1) a basic $15,000 exemption for all homeowners, and (2) an additional $10,000 for persons at least 65 years old or disabled; provided, however, that a person at least 65 years old and disabled may receive only one $10,000 exemption, and only one such exemption is available per family, per residence homestead. Except for increases in appraised value resulting from certain improvements, a school district is prohibited from increasing the total ad valorem tax on the residence homestead of a person 65 years of age or older above the amount of tax imposed in the year such residence qualified for the $10,000 exemption. The tax "freeze" provided on the amount of ad valorem taxes levied on the homestead of a taxpayer 65 years of age or older transfers in proportionate amount to a different residence homestead of such taxpayer. Also, a surviving spouse of a taxpayer who qualifies for the freeze on ad valorem taxes is entitled to the same exemption so long as the property is the homestead of the surviving spouse and the spouse is at least 55 years of age at the time of the death of the individual's spouse. The increase of the appraised value on a residence homestead is limited to ten percent of the appraised value of the property ;for the last year in which the property was appraised times the number of years since the property was last appraised. Other Reductions in Assessed Valuation. The Issuer and other taxing units may jointly agree to the creation of a tax increment financing zone, under which the tax values on properties within the zone are "frozen" at their values at the time such zone is created. The Issuer and other taxing units may also enter into tax abatement agreements to encourage economic development. Under such agreements, a property owner agrees to construct certain improvements on its property, while the taxing unit would in turn agree to not levy a tax on all or part of the increased value attributable to the improvements until the expiration of the agreement. The abatement agreement may last for as long as 10 years. Notice and Hearing Procedures. The ability of a taxing unit, such as the Issuer, to increase its tax levy from year to year is limited by Chapter 26 of the Properly Tax Code, which imposes limitations on certain tax levies (other than tax levies for the payment of debt) based upon a complex formula. These limitations require that, prior to establishing and levying a rate of taxation for a year, the taxing unit compute an "effective rate" for such year pursuant to the Property Tax Code. Generally, this effective rate is the rate which will produce the same amount of operating revenue that the taxing unit levied in the previous year on the same property being taxed for both years, plus the amount necessary to pay bonded indebtedness of the taxing unit for the next year. The governing body of the Issuer may not adopt a tax rate that, if applied to the total taxable values, would impose an amount of taxes exceeding the prior year's levy without holding a public hearing and otherwise complying with the requirements for giving notice of such public hearing. If the rate of taxation to be levied for a year exceeds the sum of (i) the effective rate times 1.08, plus (ii) the Issuer's current debt rate (the "Rollback Rate"), 10% of the qualified voters of the Issuer may petition to require an election to limit the tax levied by the Issuer in the current year to the Rollback Rate. Levy and Collection of Taxes. Each taxing unit, including the Issuer, is responsible pursuant to Chapter 31 of the Property Tax Code for the collection of its taxes, unless it elects to transfer such functions to another governmental entity. By September 1 of each year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the rate of taxation is set by the governing body of each taxing unit based upon the valuation of property within the taxing unit as of the preceding January 1. Generally, taxes are due October 1, or when billed, whichever comes later, and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year. A delinquent tax incurs a penalty of 12 percent of the amount of the tax through June 30 and additionally accrues interest at the rate of one percent per month. If the tax is not paid by July 1, an additional penalty of up to 15 percent may be imposed by the taxing unit to pay attorney fees for collection of the delinquent tax. Chapter 31 of the Property Tax Code also makes provision each year for consideration of split payments of taxes, discounts for early payment and the postponement of the delinquency date of taxes under certain circumstances. Abatement or deferral of a suit to collect delinquent taxes on residences is available to the extent that the delinquent taxes relate to the portion of the homestead that exceeds the appraised value by 105 percent of the valuation for the prior year. If the collection of the delinquent taxes are abated or deferred, they may not be collected until the taxpayer no longer owns the property and interest continues to accrue on the delinquent taxes at a rate of eight percent. 17 Collection of Delinquent Taxes. Taxes levied by each taxing unit are a personal obligation of the owner of the property. On January 1 of each year, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all taxes, penalties and interest ultimately imposed for the year on the property, whether or not the taxes are imposed in the year the lien attaches. The lien exists in favor of each taxing unit, including the Issuer, having the power to tax the property. The Issuer's tax lien is on a parity with the tax liens of all other such taxing units. A tax lien on real property has priority over the claims 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. Personal property under certain circumstances is subject to seizure and sale for the payment of delinquent taxes, penalties and interest. At any time after taxes on property become delinquent, the Issuer may file suit to foreclose the lien securing payment of the tax or to enforce personal liability for the tax, or both. In filing a suit to foreclose a tax lien on real property, the Issuer must join other taxing units that have claims for delinquent taxes against all or part of the same property. The ability of the Issuer to 'collect delinquent taxes by foreclosure may be adversely affected by the amount of taxes owed to other taxing units, adverse market conditions, taxpayer redemption right or bankruptcy proceedings which restrain the collection of taxpayer debt.

LEGAL MATTERS The Issuer will furnish a complete transcript of proceedings that are incident to the authorization and issuance of the Certificates, including the unqualified approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas approving the Initial Certificate and to the effect that the Certificates are valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, and based upon examination of such transcript of proceedings, the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel, to like effect and to the effect that the interest on the Certificates will be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103(a) of the Code, subject to the matters described under "TAX MATTERS" herein, including the alternative minimum tax on corporations. Though it may represent the Underwriter from time to time in matters unrelated to the issuance of the Certificates, Bond Counsel has been engaged by and only represents the Issuer in the issuance of the Certificates. Bond Counsel was not requested to participate, and did not take part, in the preparation of the Official Statement, and such firm has not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto or undertaken independently to verify any of the information contained therein, except that, in its capacity as Bond Counsel, such firm has reviewed the information in the Official Statement under the captions or subcaptions entitled "PLAN OF FINANCING" (exclusive of the subcaption "Sources and Uses of Funds"), "DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES" (exclusive of the subcaptions entitled "Book -Entry -Only System" and "Certificateholders' 24 Remedies"), "LEGAL MATTERS" (exclusive of the last sentence of the first paragraph thereof), "TAX MATTERS," "OTHER MATTERS - Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas," "OTHER MATTERS - Registration and Qualification of Certificates for Sale" and "OTHER MATTERS - Continuing Disclosure of Information" (exclusive of the subcaption "Compliance with Prior Undertakings") in the Official Statement, and such firm is of the opinion that the information relating to the Certificates and the legal issues contained under such captions and subcaptions is an accurate and fair description of the laws and legal issues addressed therein and, with respect to the Certificates, such information conforms to the Ordinance. Bond Counsel's fee is contingent upon the sale and issuance of the Certificates. The legal opinion will accompany the Certificates deposited with DTC or will be printed on the Certificates in the event of the discontinuance of the Book -Entry -Only System. Certain matters will be passed upon for the Underwriter by its counsel, Andrews Kurth LLP, Houston, Texas, whose fees are contingent upon sale and delivery of the Certificates. The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Certificates express the professional judgment of the attorneys rendering the opinions as to the legal issues explicitly addressed therein. In rendering a legal opinion the attorney does not become an insurer or guarantor of the expression of professional judgment, of the transaction opined upon, or of the future performance of the parties to the transaction. Nor does the rendering of an opinion guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute that may arise from the transaction. TAX MATTERS Opinion On the date of initial delivery of the Certificates, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Dallas, Texas, Bond Counsel, will render its opinion that, in accordance with statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions existing on the date thereof ("Existing Law"), (1) interest on the Certificates for federal income tax purposes will be excludable from the "gross income" of the holders thereof and (2) the Certificates will not be treated as "specified private activity bonds" the interest on which would be included as an alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Except as stated above, Bond Counsel will express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Certificates. See APPENDIX A. FORM OF BOND COUNSEL OPINION. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel will rely upon (a) certain information and representations of the Issuer, including information and representations contained in the Issuer's federal tax certificate and (b) covenants of the Issuer contained in the Certificate documents relating to certain matters, including arbitrage and the use of the proceeds of the Certificates and the property financed or refinanced therewith. Failure by the Issuer to observe the aforementioned representations or covenants could cause the interest on the Certificates to become taxable retroactively to the date of issuance. The Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder contain a number of requirements that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Certificates in order,for interest on the Certificates to be, and to remain, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements may cause interest on the Certificates to be included in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Certificates. The opinion of Bond Counsel is conditioned on compliance by the City with such requirements, and Bond Counsel has not been retained to monitor compliance with these requirements subsequent to the issuance of the Certificates. Bond Counsel's opinion represents its legal judgment based upon its review of Existing Law and the reliance on the aforementioned information, representations and covenants. Bond Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a result. The Existing Law is subject to change by the Congress and to subsequent judicial and administrative interpretation by the courts and the Department of the Treasury. There can be no assurance that such Existing Law or the interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner which would adversely affect the tax treatment of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Certificates. A ruling was not sought from the Internal Revenue Service by the Issuer with respect to the Certificates or the Project. No assurances can be given as to whether the Internal Revenue Service will commence an audit of the Certificates, or as to whether the Internal Revenue Service would agree with the opinion of Bond Counsel. If an 25 Internal Revenue Service audit is commenced, under current procedures the Internal Revenue Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer and the Certificateholders may have no right to participate in such procedure. No additional interest will be paid upon any determination of taxability. Federal Income Tag Accounting Treatment of Original Issue Discount The initial public offering price to be paid for one or more maturities of the Certificates (the "Original Issue Discount Certificates") may be less than the maturity amount thereof or one or more periods for the payment of interest on the Certificates may not be equal to the accrual period or be in excess of one year. In such event, the difference between (i) the "stated redemption price at maturity" of each Original Issue Discount Bond, and (ii) the initial offering price to the public of such Original Issue Discount Certificate would constitute original issue discount. The "stated redemption price at maturity" means the•sum of all payments to be made on the Certificates less the amount of all periodic interest payments. Periodic interest payments are payments which are made during equal accrual periods (or during any unequal period if it is the initial or final period) and which are made during accrual periods which do not exceed one year. Under Existing Law, any owner who has purchased such Original Issue Discount Certificate in the initial public offering is entitled to exclude from gross income (as defined in section 61 of the Code) an amount of income with respect to such Original Issue Discount Certificate equal to that portion of the amount of such original issue discount allocable to the accrual period. 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 Certificate prior to stated maturity, however, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such Original Issue Discount Certificate in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Original Issue Discount Certificate was held by such initial owner) is includable in gross income. Under Existing Law, the original issue discount on each Original Issue Discount Certificate is accrued daily to the stated maturity thereof (in amounts calculated as described below for each six-month period ending on the date before the semiannual anniversary dates of the date of the Certificates and ratably within each such six-month period) and the accrued amount is added to an initial owner's basis for such Original Issue Discount Certificate for purposes of determining the amount of gain or loss recognized by such owner upon the redemption, sale or other disposition thereof. The amount to be added to basis for each accrual period is equal to (a) the sum of the issue price and the amount of original issue discount accrued in prior periods multiplied by the yield to stated maturity (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period) less (b) the amounts payable as current interest during such accrual period on such Original Issue Discount Certificate. The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of Original Issue Discount Certificates 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 owners of Original Issue Discount Certificates 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 Certificates and with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Certificates. Collateral Federal Income Tag Consequences The following discussion is a summary of certain collateral federal income tax consequences resulting from the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Certificates. 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, proerty and casualty insurance companies, life insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, individuals allowed an earned income credit, certain S 26 corporations with accumulated earnings and profits and excess passive investment income, foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax, taxpayers qualifying for the health insurance premium assistance credit and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase tax-exempt obligations. THE DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN MAY NOT BE EXHAUSTIVE. INVESTORS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE CODE, SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX TREATMENT WHICH MAY BE ANTICIPATED TO RESULT FROM THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS BEFORE DETERMINING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE CERTIFICATES. Interest on the Certificates will be includable as an adjustment for "adjusted current earnings" to calculate the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. Under section 6012 of the Code, holders of tax-exempt obligations, such as the Certificates, may be required to disclose interest received or accrued during each taxable year on their returns of federal income taxation. 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 Certificates, if such obligation was acquired at a "market discount" and if the fixed 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 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- holder 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 of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Certificates 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 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 in determining the taxpayer's 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 that is a "financial institution" allocable to tax-exempt obligations, other than "private activity bonds," that are designated by a "qualified small issuer" as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." A "qualified small issuer" is any governmental issuer (together with any "on -behalf of and "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 any "bank" 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 that is subject to federal or state supervision as a financial institution. Notwithstanding the exception to the disallowance of the deduction of interest on indebtedness related to "qualified tax-exempt obligations" provided by Section 265(b) of the Code, Section 291 of the Code provides that the allowable deduction to a "bank," as defined in Section 585(a)(2) of the Code, for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase "qualified tax-exempt obligations" shall be reduced by twenty -percent (20%) as a "financial institution preference item." The Issuer has designated the Certificates as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of section 265(b) of the Code. In furtherance of that designation, the Issuer has covenanted to take such action that would assure, or to refrain from such action that would adversely affect, the treatment of the Certificates as "qualified tax- exempt obligations." Potential purchasers should be aware that if the issue price to the public exceeds $10,000,000, there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the payment of a de minimis amount of premium in 27 excess of $10,000,000 is disregarded; however, the Internal Revenue Service could take a contrary view. If the Internal Revenue Service takes the position that the amount of such premium is not disregarded, then such obligations might fail to satisfy the $10,000,000 limitation and the Certificates would not be "qualified tax- exempt obligations." Future and Proposed Legislation Tax legislation, administrative actions taken by tax authorities, or court decisions, whether at the Federal or state level, may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds under Federal or state law and could affect the market price or marketability of the Bonds. Any such proposal could limit the value of certain deductions and exclusions, including the exclusion for tax-exempt interest. The likelihood of any such proposal being enacted cannot be predicted. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding the foregoing matters. RATING The Certificates are expected to be rated "AA" (stable outlook) by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC business ("S&P"). Such rating reflects only the view of S&P. No application has been made at any other rating agency. The explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from S&P. There is no assurance that such rating will continue for any period of time or that such rating will not be revised or withdrawn. A revision or withdrawal of such rating may have a materially adverse effect on the market price of the Certificates. OTHER MATTERS Litigation Certificate Authorized representatives of the Issuer will certify that as of the date of initial delivery of the Certificates, no litigation of any nature is now pending or, to the best of such authorized representatives' knowledge and belief, threatened against the Issuer affecting directly or indirectly the validity of the Certificates or the Ordinance; restraining, enjoining or in any other manner affecting the issuance or delivery of the Certificates; affecting the provision made for the payment of or security for the Certificates, including the levy of or collection of the taxes pledged to pay such amounts or the pledge so made; affecting, in any way, the right or authority of the Issuer to pay such amounts from the sources pledged, or otherwise carrying out the terms and provisions of the Ordinance or other authorizing proceedings, and the covenants and agreements therein, and each of them or affecting the corporate existence or boundaries of the Issuer, or the title of the officers or members of the governing body or any of them to their respective positions. Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas Section 1201.041 of the Public Security Procedures Act (Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code) provides that the Certificates are negotiable instruments governed by Chapter 8, Texas Business and Commerce Code, and are legal and authorized investments for insurance companies, fiduciaries, and trustees, and for the sinking funds of municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State of Texas. With respect to investment in obligations such as the Certificates by municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State of Texas, the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code, requires that the Certificates be assigned a rating of "A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency, this requirement does not apply, however, to the purchase of obligations such as the Certificates for interest and sinking funds of such entities. See "RATINGS" herein. In addition, various provisions of the Texas Finance Code provide that, subject to a prudent investor standard, the Certificates are legal investments for state banks, savings banks, trust companies with at least $1 million of capital, and savings and loan associations. The Certificates are eligible to secure deposits of any public funds of the State, its agencies, and its political subdivisions, and are legal security for those deposits to the extent of their market value. No review has been made of the laws in other states to determine whether the Certificates are legal investments for various institutions in those states. 28 Financial Advisor Lawrence, Financial Consulting LLC, Dallas, Texas (the "Financial Advisor") has been retained by the Issuer as financial advisor in connection with the issuance of the Certificates and, in such capacity, has assisted the Issuer in the preparation of. documents.

The Issuer assumes no responsibility for qualification of the Certificates under the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which the Certificates may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred.

This page is intentionally left blank. Proposed Form of Opinion of Bond Counsel An opinion in substantially the following form will be delivered by McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Bond Counsel, upon the delivery of the Certificates of Obligation, assuming no material changes in facts or law. TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS COMBINATION TAX AND REVENUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, SERIES 2013. IN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $9,320,000 AS BOND- COUNSEL FOR THE.TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS (the "Issuer") in connection with the issuance of the Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2013, described above (the "Certificates of Obligation"), we have examined into the legality and validity of the Certificates of Obligation, which bear interest from the dates and mature and are subject to redemption on the dates, in accordance with the terms and conditions stated in the text of the Certificates of Obligation. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given in the ordinance of the Issuer authorizing the issuance and sale of the Certificates of Obligation (the "Ordinance"). WE HAVE EXAMINED the applicable and pertinent provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, a transcript of certified proceedings of the Issuer, and other pertinent instruments authorizing and relating to the issuance of the Certificates of Obligation, including one of the executed Certificates of Obligation (Certificate of Obligation Number T-1). BASED ON SAID EXAMINATION, IT IS OUR OPINION that the Certificates of Obligation have been duly authorized, issued, and delivered in accordance with law, and that the Certificates of Obligation, except as may be limited by laws applicable to the Issuer relating to governmental immunity, bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar matters affecting creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer; and that ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of said Certificates of Obligation have been levied and pledged for such purpose, within the limit prescribed by law, and that the Certificates of Obligation are additionally secured by and payable from limited surplus revenues of the Issuer's waterworks and sewer system, remaining after payment of all operation and maintenance expenses thereof, and all debt service, reserve, and other requirements in connection with all of the Issuer's revenue bonds or other obligations (now or hereafter outstanding), which are payable from all or any part of the Net Revenues of the Issuer's waterworks and sewer system. IT IS FURTHER OUR OPINION, except as discussed below, that the interest on the Certificates of Obligation is excludable from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes under the statutes, regulations, published rulings, and court decisions existing on the date of this opinion. We are further of the opinion that the Certificates of Obligation are not "specified private activity bonds" and that, accordingly, interest on the Certificates of Obligation will not be included as an individual or corporate alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). In expressing the aforementioned opinions, we have relied on, certain representations, the accuracy of which we have not independently verified, and assume compliance with certain covenants, regarding the use and investment of the proceeds of the Certificates of Obligation and the use of the property financed therewith. We call your attention to the fact that if such representations are determined to be inaccurate or upon a failure by the Issuer to comply with such covenants, interest on the Certificates of Obligation may become includable in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Certificates of Obligation. EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, we express no opinion as to any other federal, state, or local tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning, or disposing of the Certificates of Obligation. WE CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FACT that the interest on tax-exempt obligations, such as the Certificates of Obligation, is included in a corporation's alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of determining the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. WE EXPRESS NO OPINION as to any insurance policies issued with respect to the payments due for the principal of and interest on the Certificates of Obligation, nor as to any such insurance policies issued in the future. OUR OPINIONS ARE BASED ON EXISTING LAW, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"); rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that we deem relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to determine compliance with rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Certificates of Obligation. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published procedures the Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer. We observe that the Issuer has covenanted not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, may result in the treatment of interest on the Certificates of Obligation as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. OUR SOLE ENGAGEMENT in connection with the issuance of the Certificates of Obligation is as Bond Counsel for the Issuer, and, in that capacity, we have been engaged by the Issuer for the sole purpose of rendering our opinions with respect to the legality and validity of the Certificates of Obligation under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and with respect to the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Certificates of Obligation for federal income tax purposes, and for no other reason or purpose. The foregoing opinions represent our legal judgment based upon a review of existing legal authorities that we deem relevant to render such opinions and are not a guarantee of a result. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not independently investigated or verified, any records, data, or other material relating to the financial condition or capabilities of the Issuer, or the disclosure thereof in connection with the sale of the Certificates of Obligation, and have not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto. We express no opinion and make no comment with respect to the marketability of the Certificates of Obligation and have relied solely on certificates executed by officials of the Issuer as to the current outstanding indebtedness of, and assessed valuation of taxable property within, and the sufficiency of the pledged revenues of, the Issuer. Respectfully, APPENDIX B - EXCERPTS FROM BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ' For Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2012* * The audited financial statements and footnotes included in this appendix are excerpts from the Issuer's most recent Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. For additional information, reference is made to the complete report which has been filed with, and may be obtained from, the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board's Electronic Municipal Market Access ("EMMA') system.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The Town of Westlake is pleased to present this overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Town for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found in the introductory section of this report. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • The assets of the Town exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $29,857,712 (Net assets). This number must be viewed within the context that the vast majority of the Town's net assets of $21,743,854 (73%) are capital assets and that most capital assets in a government entity do not directly generate revenue nor can they be sold to generate liquid capital. Those net assets restricted for specific purposes totaled $4,726,376 (16%). The remaining $3,387,482 (11%) are unrestricted net assets and may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors in accordance with the Town's fund designation and fiscal policies. As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Town of Westlake's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $10,930,861, which is a decrease of $35,719 in comparison with the prior year. Within this total, $5,938,621 is non -spendable, restricted, committed or assigned by management or council. • At the end of the current fiscal year, fund balance for the general fund was $5,263,805; an increase of $1,248,411 in comparison with the prior year. Of this total fund balance, $4,992,240 is unassigned. This represents 108% of the total general fund expenditures and is equivalent to 396 operating days. • The Town's capital assets (net of accumulated depreciation) increased by $568,550. The major portion of this increase is attributed to the work completed on the Roanoke Road drainage/reconstruction project, Stagecoach Hills water line project, and the purchase of an attack truck and ambulance. A total of $904 thousand was recorded as construction in progress expenses for several road and water projects, including FM 1938 improvements along with Stagecoach Hills drainage/reconstruction. A small amount was contributed to the beginning of the Academy expansion project. This total amount was offset by $1,275,215 of depreciation which gave the Town a net increase. The Town's bonds payable decreased by $78,000 in total, due to principal payments and refundings of $7,453,000 offset by the issuance of General Obligation Refunding bonds in the amount of $7,375,000. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Town's basic financial statements. The Town's basic financial statements are comprised of the following three components: 3 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government -wide financial statements The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Town's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business. The government -wide financial statements are prepared utilizing the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The statement of net assets presents information on all of the Town's assets and liabilities with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in the Town's net assets serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Town is improving or weakening. The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All of the revenues and expenses are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cashflows. Thus revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods. Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Town that are principally supported by sales taxes, property taxes, and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the Town include general government, public safety, culture and recreation, economic development, public works, visitor services and education. The business -type activities of the Town include water/sewer and cemetery. The government -wide financial statements include not only the Town (known as the primary government), but also discretely presented component units including all of the Texas Student Housing entities. Financial information for these component units is reported separately from the financial information presented for the primary government itself. See pages 26-29 of the "Financial Section" for detail on these entities. In addition, the Town has the following blended component units: Lone Star Public Facility Corporation, 4B Economic Development Corporation, and Westlake Academy, an open enrollment charter school owned and operated by the Town of Westlake. Fund Financial Statements A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. Below are the three types of funds. The Town had only Governmental and Proprietary funds for the year ended September 30, 2012. Governmental funds - Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as government activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the C! government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financial requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing so, the reader may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The Town maintains eight individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues; expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General, Visitors Association, Westlake Academy, Debt Service, Capital Projects, Economic Development, Lone Star Public Facility Corporation and Westlake 4B Economic Development Corporation funds, all of which are presented as major funds. The Town adopts an annual appropriated budget for all funds, except the Capital Projects fund which is a project -length based budget. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for all appropriate funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 18-22 of this report. Proprietary funds - There are two types of proprietary funds, Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds. An Enterprise Fund is the only proprietary fund currently maintained by the Town. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government - wide financial statements. The Town uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer activities and its cemetery activities. All activities associated with providing such services are accounted for in this fund, including administration, operation, maintenance, debt service, capital improvements, billing and collection. The Town's intent is that costs of providing the services to the general public on a continuing basis is financed through user based charges in a manner similar to a private enterprise. The Town has no Internal Service Funds (fund to report activities that provide supplies and services for the Town's other programs and activities, i.e. self-insurance and fleet management.) The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 23 - 25 on this report. Fiduciary funds - Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the Town's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is similar to the accounting used for proprietary funds. The Town of Westlake does not currently have any fiduciary funds. Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 30 - 66 of this report. 5 Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents schedules that further support the information in the financial statements. The schedules are presented immediately following the notes to the financial statements and can be found on pages 67 - 75. GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of the government's financial position. In the case of the Town, assets exceeded liabilities by $29,857,712 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. The Town's combined net assets changed from a year ago, increasing $1,280,390 from $28,577,322 to $29,857,712. Our analysis below focuses on the net assets (Table 1) and changes in net assets (Table 2) of the Town's governmental and business -type activities. The largest portion of the Town's net assets, $21,743,854 (73%), reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, equipment, improvements, construction in progress, and infrastructure), less any debt used to acquire capital assets still outstanding. The Town uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Town's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. An additional portion of the Town's net assets, $4,726,376 (16%), represents resources that are subject to external or internal restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets, $3,387,482 (11%), may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

Unrestricted net assets, the part of net assets that can be used to finance day-to-day operations without constraints established by debt covenants, enabling legislation, other legal requirements, and/or Council or management's decision, increased by $1,575,631 or 7% of total governmental net assets. The majority of this increase was due to excess revenues over expenditures for the fiscal year with no restrictions on the funds. Total revenues (including transfers) for governmental activities increased by $112,559 when compared to the prior year. General revenue had a decrease of $322,586, while program revenues had an increase of $534,854. Program revenues - The major contributor to the increase is related to the receipt of state revenues for the additional students at Westlake Academy as well as Westlake Academy Foundation grants given to the Academy. General revenues — Decrease of $322,586 were primarily made up of the following components: • Sales tax decreased by $952,352 due to a reduction in revenues of approximately $900K based on the conclusion of construction regarding Deloitte in which there was an economic development agreement regarding the taxing of construction and start-up materials. • Property tax increased by $181,126 • Miscellaneous increased by $421,513 — major portion of this increase relates to the reimbursement of indirect costs from Westlake Academy to the Town for services performed by Town personnel Expenses — • Total expenses for governmental activities increased by $920,520 or approximately 7%. The major components to this increase were related to a decrease of $463,922 in economic development based on a contractual obligation reimbursement. The amount received on the construction of the project was primarily completed in the prior year with normal operating sales taxes being received for the majority of FY 11-12 and an increase in education of $1,308,575 which included expense for the addition of students and staff for Westlake Academy and the transfer of a portion of the indirect operating costs of approximately $325,000 from Academy budget to the Municipal budget. Business -type Activities: The net assets of our business -type activities ended fiscal year 2012 at $5,241,306 compared with $5,332,939 in 2011. This represents a decrease in net assets of $91,633, or 2% less than the prior fiscal year. Revenues of the Town's business -type activities were $3,058,622 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. Revenues decreased $189,141 or 6% from the prior year. Operating expenses for the business -type activities were $3,104,748 for the year, an increase of $304,909 or 11%. The resulting decrease in net assets is due to several factors, including the following: • Decrease in Charges for Services was $152,826. This 5% decrease was primarily realized because FY 10/11 was a drier year than normal resulting in increased water billing revenues and other associated fees in the prior year. • The Town's increase in expenses of $304,909 is attributed to interest expense and additional expenses related to the wastewater treatment accounts. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE TOWN'S FUNDS As noted earlier, the Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance - related legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of the Town's governmental funds is to provide information on near- term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Town's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a town's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the Town's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $10,930,861; a decrease of $35,719 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 46% of this total ($4,992,240) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is nonspendable, restricted, committed or assigned to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed. The following tables present a summary of general, special revenue, capital project, and debt service fund revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, and the amount and percentage of increases and decreases in relation to the prior year.

Several months of the construction materials sales tax receipts were received in FY 11-12. o Property Tax - $105,211 - original budget was based on September values but then updated o Franchise Tax - $82,375 — additional receipt from a franchisee that we had not anticipated o Fines and penalties - $103,389 — moi e than anticipated traffic violations • The amended budget for expenditures decreased by $501,661 (10%). The major components of this decrease are below: o General government - $(288,353) ■ ($356K) - This is based on a change in how we were booking payroll. We were wanting all payroll expense to be shown in the General Fund and had originally budgeted transfers in from other funds in the "Transfers In"" line -item (below the line) but determined it would be best to book as a contra account in the operating portion of the budget. ■ $52K — Increase in legal expenditures due to a lawsuit to determine the rights of the Town to levy a property tax and its authority to expend collected tax revenues on school operations at the Academy. The Town denied any liability and obtained a favorable judgment from the Court o Public Works — - $(190,255) — Majority of this is related to how payroll was recorded. See above explanation. In additional, several larger maintenance projects were postponed. The General Fund actual revenue collections were more than the amended budget by $25,372 and the final expenditures were $120,289 less than budgeted (3%). • General government - $41,482 — majority of this amount is made up additional legal expenditures based on lawsuit • Public Safety $(93,946) — EMS/Fire was understaffed by one position for the fiscal year • Cultural and recreation — $(38,569) — mainly related to contract services for landscaping, etc. • Public Works $(29,256) — primarily related to street drainage expenditures and the reduction of several maintenance projects. Capital Assets and Debt Administration Capital Assets. The Town's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business -type activities as of September 30, 2012, totaled $46,689,838 (net of accumulated depreciation). The investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, 11 infrastructure, and construction in progress. The net increase in the Town's investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was $568,550 or 1%. The major portion of this increase. is attributed to the work completed on the Roanoke Road drainage/reconstruction project, Stagecoach Hills water line project, and the purchase of an attack truck and ambulance. A total of $904 thousand was recorded as construction in progress expenses for several road and water projects, including FM 1938 improvements along with Stagecoach Hills drainage/reconstruction. A small amount was contributed to the beginning of the Academy expansion project. This total amount was offset by $1,275,215 of depreciation which gave the Town a net increase.

We have accomplished many great things this past year through our use of partnerships and inventive strategies to govern our community. We have begun the process of reinvesting in our infrastructure and will continue to do so over the next several years — paying special attention to unique cost sharing opportunities, both public and private. Our overall goal is to provide our residents with a living experience that is second -to -none. In the FY 2012-13 budget, General Fund,revenues and transfers are budgeted to decrease by $684K (11%). The decrease is primarily related to the reduction of the indirect cost reimbursement from the Westlake Academy to the Town for services performed by Town personnel as well as a reduction in permits and fees. Sales tax represents 46% of the total revenue budget with 21% being contributed to property tax and 12% to franchise fees. Westlake's assessed valuation increased by 11.2% for FY 12-13; however, the portion of this assessed valuation that we can actually use to levy an ad valorem tax deceased by 8%. This was due largely to tax abatements on Fidelity II and Deloitte University. Fidelity is able to receive these abatements in FY 12-13; however, they were not eligible in FY 11-12 because they did not meet their employment targets required in our economic development agreements with them. Even with these abatements lowering the portion of our assessed valuation on which we can levy our property tax in FY 12-13, we were still able to keep our tax rate the same as the previous year at $.15684 per $100 of assessed valuation ($.141970 maintenance and operations and $.014870 interest and sinking). 13 Operating budgeted expenditures in the General Fund are projected to increase by only $40K (1%). The method for funding a second ground storage water tank for our water system is still under consideration. Because of that, it was budgeted in FY 12-13 to transfer, through an inter -fund loan, funds from the General Fund to the Utility Fund. The amount of $2M is scheduled to be re -paid over five years with a $400,000 annual payment. However, if we can work out the ability to issue bonds for this project, that would be the preferred method of financing this needed facility and an inter -fund loan from the General Fund to the Utility Fund will not be necessary. Subsequent to the adoption of the budget, the Town is considering funding a portion of this project with bonds and only transferring $500K. The Capital Projects Fund's fund balance will increase due to $8.5M issuance for Westlake Academy facility expansion. This increase as well as the ongoing implementation of the (5) Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) will bring the fund balance to $3.3M. The CIP is reviewed, updated, and approved each year by the Town Council. The FM 1938/ Davis Blvd. streetscape plan will begin in earnest this coming year and the final expenditures for the J. T. Ottinger and Dove Road improvements will wind down. We will also begin to implement the enhancement projects along SH 114/Hwy 170 during the 12-13 fiscal year and start reconstruction and drainage work on Dove Road east of FM 1938. A transfer from the General Fund to the Major Maintenance and Replacement Fund continues this fiscal year, with transfers out 'of $550,000. The expenditures will be used for plant/building maintenance at the Academy, trail repair work, replacement of an existing vehicle, as well as technology upgrades. A portion of the remaining balance will be held for the future replacement of the ladder truck for the Fire Department in FY 2016-17. Internal Service funds show a 23% increase of $220,205, due to the transfer of funds into the two major maintenance and equipment replacement funds (Utility and General), to accumulate funds for various repair and replacement items. The net change to Fund balance for Westlake Academy is positive due, in part, to a $300 thousand contribution from the Westlake Academy Foundation which is intended to help with the negative impact of the reduction in State funding for public schools across Texas. Special Revenue funds project a 13% decrease in total fund balance in the amount of $164,923 by the end of FY 2012-13. This reduction is primarily due to the Visitors Association Fund (i.e. Hotel -Motel Occupancy Tax Fund), where debt service payments are budgeted to be transferred for the bond issue payment related to construction of the Westlake Academy Sam and Margaret Lee Arts & Sciences Center. Total revenues and other sources in for the Utility Fund were budget at $4.8M with 43% being contributed to water revenue and 42% to a transfer in from the General Fund for the construction of the ground storage tank. As stated above, this amount may be amended during the FY 2012-13. Expenses and other uses are budgeted at $4.6M with the 47% of this being attributed to capital outlay/projects.

However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which depreciation exceeds capital outlays in the current period. Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provided current financial resources to governmental funds, while repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items. Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Town of Westlake, Texas (the "Town") was incorporated under the provisions of the laws of the State of Texas on December 26, 1956. The Town operates under a Council - Manager form of government and provides the following services as authorized by the laws of the State of Texas: public safety; cultural and recreation; and economic development. A. Reporting Entity The accompanying financial statements comply with the provisions of the GASB statements No. 14 and 39. "The Financial Reporting Entity," in that the Town's basic financial statements include the accounts of the Town's financial reporting entity, including the primary government, organizations for which the Town is financially accountable and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the Town are such that inclusion would cause the Town's financial statement to be misleading or incomplete. The criteria for including organizations as component units within the Town's reporting entity, includes whether: ■ The organization is legally separate (can sue and be sued in their own name); ■ The Town holds the corporate powers of the organization; ■ The Town appoints a voting majority of the organization's board; ■ The Town is able to impose its will on the organization; ■ The organization has the potential to impose a financial benefitiburden on the Town; and ■ There is fiscal dependency by the organization on the Town. Component units are blended with the balances and transactions of the Town if one of the following criterion are met: ■ The component unit is substantially the same governing body as the Town; or ■ The component unit provides services entirely (or almost entirely) to the Town or benefits the Town exclusively (or almost exclusively) ; or ■ The Town is able to impose its will on the component unit. Based on the aforementioned criteria, the Town has the following component units: Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation, 4B Economic Development Corporation, Westlake Academy, Texas Student Housing Authority, Texas Student Housing Authority Ballpark Austin Project; Texas Student Housing Authority Town Lake Austin Project, Texas Student Housing Authority College Station Project and Texas Student Housing Corporation - The Ridge at North Texas. (continued) 30 I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) B. Component Units Discretely Presented The Texas Student Housing Authority, Texas Student Housing Ballpark Austin Project, Texas Student Housing Town Lake Austin Project, Texas Student Housing College Station Project, and Texas Student Housing Corporation — The Ridge at North Texas Project (collectively, "Texas Student Housing') are Texas nonprofit organizations as a duly constituted authority of the Town pursuant to Section 53.35(b) of the Texas Education Code, as amended (Act). Texas Student Housing's primary purpose is to construct, own, and operate student housing facilities on college campuses in Texas. The board consists of seven directors which are appointed by the Town's governing body and has the ability to remove at will the appointed members, thus the governing body can impose its will on the organizations. Housing entities are reported as Enterprise Funds. The Town is not responsible for the long-term debt of the Texas Student Housing entities. All Texas Student Housing entities have separately issued financial statements. These statements can be obtained by contacting the Texas Student Housing Authority, 3 Village Circle, Suite 202, Westlake, Texas 76262. The financial statements are formatted to allow the user. to clearly distinguish between the primary government and the discretely presented component units. Blended Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation is a Texas nonprofit corporation that acts on behalf of the Town to further the public purposes under the Public Facilities Corporation Act, as it's duly constituted authority and instrumentality. The board of directors, appointed by the Town's governing body, is comprised of seven members, of whom five must be members of the Town's governing body. Since a voting majority of the board of directors is on the Town's governing body, the Town can impose its will on the entity. 4B Economic Development Corporation is a Texas nonprofit industrial corporation under the Development Corporation Act of 1979 formed to promote economic development within the Town and the State of Texas in order to eliminate unemployment and underemployment, and to promote and encourage employment and the public welfare of, for, and on behalf of the Town by developing, implementing, financing, and providing one or more projects defined and permitted under Section 4B of the Act. The board of directors is composed of seven persons appointed by the members of the Town's governing board. Four of the members of the board of directors are members of the Town's governing board. Since a voting majority of the board of directors is on the Town's governing body, the Town can impose its will on the entity. (continued) 31 I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) B. Component Units (Continued) Blended (Continued) Westlake Academy ("Academy') is an open -enrollment charter school, as provided by Subchapter D, Chapter 12, of the Texas Education Code. The Town of Westlake ("Charter Holder") applied for and became the first municipality in Texas to ever receive this special charter designation. The board consists of six trustees and is appointed by the Town's governing body. Currently, all the members of the board of trustees are members of the Town's governing body. Since a voting majority of the board of directors is on the Town's governing body, the Town can impose its will on the entity. The Academy's year-end is August 31. C. Government -wide and Fund Financial Statements The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) report information on all of the non -fiduciary activities of the Town. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially accountable. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues includes 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual Governmental Funds and major individual Enterprise Funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. D. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. (continued) 32 I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Town considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the Town. The Town uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain government functions or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self -balancing set of accounts. Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the Town are financed. The acquisition, use, and balances of the Town's expendable financial resources and the related liabilities (except those accounted for in the proprietary fund type) are accounted for through governmental funds. The measurement focus is upon determination of changes in financial position, rather than upon income determination. The Town reports the following major governmental funds: General Fund — to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The General Fund balance is available for any purpose, provided it is expended or transferred in accordance with the legally adopted budget of the Town. Special Revenue Funds — to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than special assessments, expendable trusts, or major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. Visitors Association Fund — to account for municipal hotel occupancy taxes collected and expenditures to promote tourism and the convention and hotel industry. Westlake Academy Fund — to account for all financial resources of the Academy. Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation — to account for activity relating to the Lone Star Public Facilities Corporation. (continued) RX I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) 4B Economic Development Corporation — to account for activity relating to 4B Economic Development Corporation. Economic Development Fund — to account for activity relating to the Economic Development agreements. Debt Service Fund — to account for resources accumulated and payments made for principal and interest on long-term general obligation debt of governmental funds in a Debt Service Fund. Capital Proiects Fund — to account for proceeds from long-term financing and revenue and expenditures related to authorized construction and other capital asset acquisitions. Proprietary Funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Town's Enterprise Fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the Enterprise Fund include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenue and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenue and expenses. The Town reports the following major proprietary funds: Utility Fund — to account for revenues and expenses related to providing water and sewer services to the general public on a continuing basis. Cemetery Fund — to account for the operations of the Town's cemetery. Private -sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are followed in both government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those, standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private -sector guidance for their business -type activities and Enterprise Funds, subject to this same limitation. The Town has elected not to follow subsequent private -sector guidance. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government - wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the Town's water and wastewater function and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenue reported for the various functions concerned. Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customer or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions„ including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenue. Likewise, general revenue includes all taxes. (continued) 34 I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) E. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and investments of all funds, including restricted cash, are available upon demand and are considered to be "cash equivalents." For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Town considers highly -liquid investments (including restricted assets) with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. State statues authorize the Town to invest in (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities; (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3) other obligations, the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the United States; (4) obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state having been rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a rating of not less than "A" or its equivalent; (5) certificates of deposit by state or national banks domiciled in this state that are (a) guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or its successor; or, (b) secured by obligations that are described by (1) — (4); or (6) fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a defined termination date, secured by obligations described by .(1) pledged with third -party selected or approved by the Town, and placed through a primary government securities dealer. All investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Receivables and Payables Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans. All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business -type activities are reported in the government -wide financial statements as "internal balances." Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. All property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles. The net property tax receivable allowance is equal to 25 percent of outstanding property taxes at September 30, 2012. (continued) 35 I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) E. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity (Continued) Receivables and Payables (Continued) The Town's property taxes are levied on October 1 on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1 for all real and business personal property located in the Town. Assessed values are established at 100% of estimated market value. Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1. Taxes are due by January 31 following the October 1 levy date and are considered delinquent after January 31 of each year. Restricted Assets Certain bond proceeds, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. Inventories and prepaid items Inventories, which are expended as they are consumed, are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first -in, first -out basis. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the government -wide and fund financial statements. Fund Changes and Transactions Between Funds Legally authorized transfers are treated as operating transfers and are included in the results of operations of both governmental and proprietary funds. The Town allocates an indirect cost percentage of the salaries, wages and related costs of personnel who perform administrative services as well as other indirect costs necessary for the operation of various funds. Expenses are budgeted and paid from the appropriate fund. Capital Assets All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. The cost of nominal maintenance and repairs that do not add value to the asset or materially extend assets' lives are not capitalized. Donated assets are valued at their fair market value on the date donated. Assets capitalized have an original cost of $5,000 or more and over three years of life. All infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), regardless of the acquisition date or amount, have been included. Estimated historical cost for initial reporting of infrastructure assets (those reported by governmental activities) was valued by estimating the current replacement cost of the infrastructure and using an index to deflate the cost to the estimated acquisition/construction year. As the Town constructs or acquires additional capital assets, including infrastructure assets, they are capitalized and reported at historical cost. (continued) 36 I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) E. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity (Continued) Capital Assets (Continued) Depreciation has been calculated on each class of depreciable property using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows: Assets Years Water and sewer system 10-50 Buildings 20-50 Machinery and equipment 3-30 Improvements 5-30 Information systems and software 3 Compensated Absences The Town's policy allows employees to earn 5 days of vacation and 5 days of sick leave between six months and one year of service, and 10 days of vacation and 10 days of sick leave between one year and two years of service and each successive year through five years of service. After completion of 5 years of service, 15 days of vacation and 15 days of sick leave per year are earned. After completion of 10 years of service, 20 days of vacation and 20 days of sick leave per year are earned. The Town makes sick and vacation time available in full at the beginning of each year, and hours are actually earned throughout the year. Unused, earned vacation hours are paid upon termination or retirement at the employee's normal hourly rate; accumulated, unused sick time is not payable upon termination or retirement. Long-term Obligations In the government -wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business -type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs during the current period. The face amount of the debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, even if withheld from the actual proceeds, are reported as expenditures. (continued) 37 I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) E. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity (Continued) Fund Equity and Net Assets The governmental fund financial statements present fund balances based on classifications that comprise a hierarchy that is based primarily on the extent to which the Town is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the respective governmental funds can be spent. The classifications used in the governmental fund financial statements are as follows: • Nonspendable: This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Nonspendable items are not expected to be converted to cash or are not expected to be converted to cash within the next year. • Restricted: This classification includes amounts for which constraints have been placed on the use of the resources either (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments, or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. • Committed: This classification includes amounts that can be used only for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by board resolution of the Town council, the Town's highest level of decision making authority. These amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Town council removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action that was employed when the funds were initially committed. This classification also includes contractual obligations to the extent that existing resources have been specifically committed for use in satisfying those contractual requirements. • Assigned: This classification includes amounts that are constrained by the Town's intent to be used for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. This intent can be expressed by the Town council. • Unassigned: This classification includes the residual fund balance for the General Fund. The, unassigned classification also includes negative residual. fund balance of any other governmental fund that cannot be eliminated by offsetting of assigned fund balance amounts. In the government -wide financial statements, net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets, and adding back unspent proceeds. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either though the enabling legislations adopted by the Town or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments. (continued) 38 II. I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) E. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Eguity (Continued) Fund Equity and Net Assets (Continued) The government -wide and fund level financial statements report restricted fund balances for amounts not available for appropriation or legally restricted for specific uses. When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, it is the City's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as needed. When an expenditure is incurred for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the City considers amounts to have been spent first out of committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds. In the government -wide financial statements, the City's restrictions on net assets are for amounts that are not available for appropriation. The City's restricted net assets are as follows: Restricted for Tourism $ 1,052,546 Restricted for Future projects 2,714,662 Restricted for Debt Service 22,657 Restricted for Education 758,127 Restricted for Economic Development 178,384 Total $ 4,726,376 Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT -WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Government -wide Statement of Net Assets The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance — total governmental funds and net assets — governmental activities as reported in the government -wide statement of net assets. One element of that reconciliation explains, "Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the funds." The details of this $20,715,004 difference are as follows: (continued) 39 IL RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT -WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Government -wide Statement of Net Assets (Continued) Certificates of obligation bonds Notes payable Deferred charges for issuance costs (to be amortized over life of debt) Compensated absences Accrued interest payable Net adjustment to reduce fund balance - total governmental funds to arrive at net assets - governmental activities $ 22,182,556 34,075 (1,839,657) 81,905 256.125 $ 20,715,004 Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenue, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. and the Government -wide Statement of Activities The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances — total governmental fund and changes in net assets of governmental activities as reported in the government -wide statement of activities. One element of that reconciliation explains, "Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets. is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense." The details of this $647,738 difference are as follows: Capital outlay ($45,680 reclassified to expense repairs $ 1,464,417 and $369,746 capitalized from public safety and $29,875 capitalized from public works) Depreciation expense (816,679) Net adjustment to decrease net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net assets ofgovernmental activities $ 647,738 Another element of that reconciliation states, "The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. Retails of this $710,963 difference are as follows: (continued) 40 II.

DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS Deposits and Investments Legal provisions generally permit the Town to invest in certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, public funds investment pools, direct obligations of the United States of America or its subdivisions and state and local government securities. The Town did not engage in repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement transactions during the current year. (continued) 41 III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued) Deposits and Investments (Continued) During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Town had investments with TexPool. TexPool, a public funds investment pool created by the Treasurer of the State of Texas acting by and through the Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company, which is empowered to invest funds and acts as custodian of investments purchased with local investment funds. These investments are not required to be categorized because the investor is not issued securities, but rather it owns an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the respective funds. The fair value of the position in TexPool is the same as the value of the pool shares. On September 1, 1989, local government investment pools became authorized investments for the majority of public entities in Texas. The Interlocal Cooperation Act was amended by the 71St Texas Legislature to facilitate the creation of local government investment pools in Texas. This act permits the creation of investment pools to which a majority of political. subdivisions (local governments) may delegate, by contract, the authority to make investments purchased with local investment funds and to hold legal title as custodian of the investments. TexPool was organized to conform with the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, and the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code. The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific provisions in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of appropriate policies. Among other things, it requires the Town to adopt, implement, and publicize its investment policy. That policy must address the following areas: (1) safety -of principal and liquidity, (2) portfolio diversification, (3) allowable investments, (4) acceptable risk levels, (5) expected rates of return, (6) maximum allowable stated maturity of portfolio investments, (7) maximum average dollar — weighted maturity allowed based on the stated maturity date for the portfolio, (8) investment staff quality and capabilities, and (9) bid solicitation preferences for certificates of deposit. Statutes and the Town's investment policy authorized the Town to invest in the following investments as summarized in the table below: At September 30, 2012, the Town's investments included investment pools in the name of the Town or its agent in the Town's name. The Town's investments were as follows: (continued) 42 Maximum Maximum Authorized Maximum Percentage Investment Investment Type Maturity of Portfolio in One Issuer Obligations of, or guaranteed by Governmental entities 2 years None None Certificates of deposit 1 year None None Mutual funds 2 years 80% None Investment pools - None None At September 30, 2012, the Town's investments included investment pools in the name of the Town or its agent in the Town's name.

This is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. In order to limit interest and market rate risk from changes in interest rates, the Town's investment policy sets a maximum stated maturity limit of two years for obligations of the United States Government, its agencies and instrumentalities (excluding mortgage backed securities) and one year for fully insured or collateralized certificates of deposit. No more than 80% of the Town's monthly average balance may be invested in money market funds. Additionally, the Town invests in an investment pool that purchases a combination of shorter term investments with an average maturity of less than 29 days thus reducing the interest rate risk. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the Town's investments to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the Town's Investments. The Town has negotiated an interest rate for all checking account deposits; therefore, cash is considered in the balance of our investments. (continued) 43 III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued) Credit Risk. This is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by, a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented above is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the Public Funds Investment Act, the Town's investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type.

DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS (Continued) General Long-term Debt (Continued) The Certificates of Obligation, Series 2002 and 2003 require the Town to provide certain updated financial information and operating data to certain information vendors annually, as permitted by SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule"). The issuer will provide the updated information to each nationally recognized municipal securities information repository ("NRMSIR") and to any state information depository ("SID") that is designated by the State of Texas and approved by the staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the Town issued General Obligation bonds of $2.5 million. These bonds were used for the construction of an Arts & Sciences Center that was completed during the current fiscal year. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, the Town issued Certificates of Obligation in the amount of $2,095,000 for various street projects. Advance Refunding The government issued $7,375,000 in general obligation bonds with interest rates ranging from 2.0% to 4.0%. The proceeds were used to advance refund $6,785,000 of outstanding 2002 and 2003 general obligation bonds which had interest rates ranging from 3.65% to 6.50%. The net proceeds of $7,650,305 (including a $424,196 premium and after payment of $148,891 in underwriting fees and other issuance costs) were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide funds for the future debt service payment on the refunded bonds. As a result, this portion of the 2002 and 2003 general obligation bonds are considered defeased and the liability for those bonds has been removed from the statement of net position. The reacquisition price exceeded the net carrying amount of the old debt by $865,305. This amount is being netted against the new debt and amortized over the life of the refunding debt. The government advance refunded this portion of the 2002 and 2003 general obligation bonds to reduce its total debt service payments over 17 years by $893,302 and to obtain an economic gain (difference between the present values of the debt service payments on the old and new debt) of $704,497.

OTHER INFORMATION Retirement Plan Plan Description The Town provides pension benefits for all of its eligible employees through a non-traditional, joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit plan in the statewide Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS), an agent multiple -employer public employee retirement system. The plan provisions that have been adopted by the Town are within the options available in the governing state statutes of TMRS. TMRS issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information (RSI) for TMRS; the report also provides detailed explanations of the contributions, benefits and actuarial methods and assumptions used by the System. This report may be obtained from TMRS' website at www.TMRS.com. The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the Town, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS. Plan provisions for the Town were as follows: Contributions Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each town is determined annually by the actuary, using the Projected Unit Credit actuarial cost method. This rate consists of the normal cost contribution rate and the prior service cost contribution rate, which is calculated to be a level percent of payroll from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the portion of an active member's projected benefit allocated annually; the prior service contribution rate amortizes the unfunded (overfunded) actuarial liability (asset) over the applicable period for that city. Both the normal cost and prior service contribution rates include recognition of the projected impact of annually repeating benefits, such as Updated Service Credits and Annuity Increases. The Town contributes to the TMRS Plan at an actuarially determined rate. Both the employees and the Town make contributions monthly. Since the Town needs to know its contribution rate in advance for budgetary purposes, there is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that serves as the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect.

OTHER INFORMATION (Continued) Retirement Plan (Continued) Contributions (Continued) Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. Actuarial calculations are based on the benefits provided under the terms of the substantive plan in effect at the time of each valuation, and reflect a long-term perspective. Consistent with that perspective, actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets.

The Town elected, by ordinance to provide group term life insurance coverage to both current and retired employees. The Town may terminate coverage under and discontinue participation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before November 1 of any year to be effective the following January 1. The death benefit for active employees provides a lump sum payment approximately equal to the employee's annual salary (calculated based on the employee's actual earnings, for the 12 -month period preceding the month of death); retired employees are insured for $7,500; this coverage is an "other postemployment benefit," or OPEB.

The rate is equal to the cost of providing one-year term life insurance. The funding policy for the SDBF program is to assure that adequate resources are available to meet all death benefit payments for the upcoming year; the intent is not to pre -fund retiree term life insurance during employees' entire careers.

The Town follows these procedures annually in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the budgetary comparison schedules: The Town Manager submits to the Town Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. 2. Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted through passage of an ordinance. This budget is reported as the Original Budget in the budgetary comparison schedules. 3. During the fiscal year, changes to the adopted budget may be authorized, as follows: a) Items requiring Town Council action - appropriation of fund balance reserves; transfers of appropriations between funds; new inter -fund loans or advances; and creation of new capital projects or increases to existing capital projects. b) Items delegated to the Town Manager — appropriation balances from an expenditure account to another within a single fund 4. Annual budgets are legally adopted and amended as required for the general, special revenue and debt service funds. Project length budgets are adopted for the capital projects funds. All budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepting accounting principles. Budgets are adopted for the proprietary funds annually only as a management tool. There are no legally mandated budgetary constraints for the proprietary funds. 5. Budget amounts are reflected after all authorized amendments and revisions. This budget is reported as the Final Budget in the budgetary comparison schedules. 6. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function and department. The Town's management may make transfers of appropriations within a fund. Transfers of appropriations between funds require the approval of the Town Council. The legal level of budgetary control is the fund level. The Town Council made several supplementary budget appropriations during the year. 7.

Encumbrance accounting under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of resources are recoded to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is utilized in the governmental funds. Encumbrances lapse at year-end and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments must be re -appropriated and honored during the subsequent year. Expenditures exceeded appropriations in the general government and administration department of the General Fund and in the Economic Development Fund for the year. These deficits were covered by additional collections of revenue, unspent budget in other functions and available fund balance. In addition, transfers out exceeded appropriations in the 4B Economic Development Corporation Fund. This excess was covered by available fund balance. 74 INDIVIDUAL FUND SCHEDULE TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS DEBT SERVICE FUND SCHEDULE OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE - BUDGET AND ACTUAL FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 Variance Final Budgeted Favorable Amounts Actual (Unfavorable) REVENUES Taxes Property $ 172,098 $ 170,093 $( 2,005) Total revenues 172,098 170,093 ( 2,005) EXPENDITURES Debt service Principal retirement 668,000 668,000 - Interest and other fiscal charges 952,028 1,100,918 ( 148,890) Total expenditures 1,620,028 1,768,918 ( 148,890) EXCESS (DEFICIENCY) OF REVENUES OVER (UNDER) EXPENDITURES ( 1,447,930) ( 1,598,825) ( 150,895) OTHER FINANCING SOURCES (USES) Transfers in 1,470,222 1,465,086 ( 5,136) Bonds issued - 7,799,196 7,799,196 Payment to escrow agent - ( 7,650,305) ( 7,650,305) Total other financing sources (uses) 1,470,222 1,613,977 143,755 NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCE 22,292 15,152 ( 7,140) FUND BALANCE, BEGINNING 7,505 7,505 - FUND BALANCE, ENDING $ 29,797 $ 22,657 $�_ 7,140 75 This page is intentionally left blank.

ARTICLE FIVE THE BANK Section 5.01. Duties of Bank. The Bank undertakes to perform the duties set forth herein and agrees to use reasonable care in the performance thereof. Section 5.02. Reliance on Documents, Etc. (a) The Bank may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and correctness of the opinions expressed therein, on certificates or opinions furnished to the Bank. (b) The Bank shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Bank was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. (c) No provisions of this Agreement shall require the Bank to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability for performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against such risks or liability is not assured to it. (d) The Bank may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note, security, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing statement, the Bank need not examine the ownership of any Security, but is protected in acting upon receipt of a Security containing an endorsement or instruction of transfer or power of transfer which appears on its face to be signed by the Holder or an agent of the Holder. The Bank shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in a resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note, security or other paper or document supplied by Issuer. (e) The Bank may consult with counsel, and the written advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. (f) The Bank may exercise any of the powers hereunder and perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys of the Bank. Section 5.03. Recitals of Issuer. The recitals contained herein with respect to the Issuer and in the Security shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Bank assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Bank shall in no event be liable to the Issuer, any Holder or Holders of any Security, or any other Person for any amount due on any Security from its own funds. Section 5.04. May Hold Security. The Bank, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Security and may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Paying Agent/Registrar, or any other agent. Section 5.05. Moneys Held by Bank. The Bank shall deposit any moneys received from the Issuer into a trust account to be held in a fiduciary capacity for the payment of the Security, with such moneys in the account that exceed the deposit insurance available to the Issuer by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, to be fully collateralized with Security or obligations that are eligible under the laws of the State of Texas to secure and be pledged as collateral for trust accounts until the principal and interest on such Security have been presented for payment and paid to the owner thereof. Payments made from such trust account shall be made by check drawn on such trust account unless the owner of such Security shall, at its own expense and risk, request such other medium of payment. Subject to the Unclaimed Property Law of the State of Texas, any money deposited with the Bank for the payment of the principal, premium (if any), or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for three years after the final maturity of the Security has become due and payable will be paid by the Bank to the Issuer if the Issuer so elects, and the Holder of such Security shall hereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Bank with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease. If the Issuer does not elect, the Bank is directed to report and dispose of the funds in compliance with Title Six of the Texas Property Code, as amended. Section 5.06. Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, the Issuer agrees to indemnify the Bank for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with its acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, including the cost and expense against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement. Section 5.07. Interpleader. The Issuer and the Bank agree that the Bank may seek adjudication of any adverse claim, demand, or controversy over its person as well as funds on deposit, in either a Federal or State District Court located in the State and County where the Issuer is located, and agree that service of process by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the address referred to in Section 6.03 of this Agreement shall constitute adequate service. The Issuer and the Bank further agree that the Bank has the right to file a Bill of Interpleader in any court located in the State and County where the Issuer is located of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of any Person claiming any interest herein. Section 5.08. Depository Trust Company Services. It is hereby represented and warranted that, in the event the Security is otherwise qualified and accepted for "Depository Trust Company" services or equivalent depository trust services by other organizations, the Bank has the capability and, to the extent within its control, will comply with the "Operational Arrangements," effective August 1, 1987, which establishes requirements for Security to be eligible for such type depository trust services, including, but not limited to, requirements for the timeliness of payments and funds availability, transfer turnaround time, and notification of redemptions and calls.

Rationale AA(SPUR)/Stable Affirmed Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'AA' rating and stable outlook to Westlake, Texas' series 2013 combination tax and revenue certificates of obligation and affirmed its 'AA' rating, with a stable outlook, on the town's general obligation debt. The rating reflects our opinion of the town's: • Inclusion in the deep and diverse Dallas -Fort Worth metropolitan statistical area (MSA) economy, including its location between the region's international airport and Alliance Gateway Airport; • Extremely strong wealth and income, evidenced by market value per capita and median household effective buying income; and • Very strong financial performance, augmented by the implementation of formalized financial management policies in several key areas. We believe the town's concentrated property tax base and, what we consider, its moderately high overall net debt as a percent of market value and extremely high per capita debt somewhat constrain the rating. An ad valorem tax levied on all taxable property in the town and a waterworks and sewer system net revenue pledge, not to exceed $1,000, secure the certificates. Officials intend to use certificate proceeds to finance infrastructure improvements to Westlake Academy -- a K-12 charter school owned and operated by the town -- and utility -related infrastructure improvements. Serving a population estimate of 992 and encompassing portions of Denton and Tarrant counties, Westlake is approximately 25 miles northeast of Fort Worth, 30 miles west of Dallas, and 18 miles south of Denton. Its favorable location among the three leading regional cities offers residents several employment opportunities, including nearby Dallas -Fort Worth International Airport and Fort Worth's Alliance Gateway Airport. The town's location also helps boost income. Median household effective buying income is, what we consider, a very strong 240% of the national level. WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT MARCH 21, 2013 2 1099974 1301753340 Summary: Westlake, Texas; General Obligation Despite a 5.5% assessed value (AV) decrease over the previous year due to commercial values and a 7% AV decrease from fiscal years 2010-2011 due to the economic downturn, Westlake has experienced, what we regard as, historically strong property tax base growth. Current AV of $887.2 million represents a 50% increase over fiscal 2007 AV. Management attributes historical AV growth to residential and commercial development. According to representatives, the average home value is $1.7 million. Market value is $874,937 per capita. In addition to restaurants and small retailers, Westlake is home to Deloitte University -- an international training facility for Deloitte, Fidelity, Chrysler Financial, and the Solana complex. The Solana mixed-use complex contains several offices, eateries, and a Marriot Hotel. Officials expect at least marginal tax base expansion to continue over the next few years since several new homes will be constructed. The tax base is concentrated with the 10 leading taxpayers accounting for 41% of fiscal 2013 AV. Maguire Thomas et al, a commercial real estate firm and the leading taxpayer, accounts for 16.5% of AV. Westlake's finances remain, in our view, very strong. Officials adopted a $1.7 million deficit general fund budget for fiscal 2013, which they credit to capital expenditures. Management currently indicates the budget is performing well. The current property tax rate of about 15.7 cents per $100 of AV includes an operations levy of about 14 cents. The overall tax rate has remained the same for two fiscal years, and officials indicate they do not plan to adjust the rate. Collections for the past two fiscal years totaled 100%. Despite adopting a fiscal 2012 deficit budget, audit results reflect an operating surplus of $1.3 million and an unassigned general fund balance of roughly $5 million, or, what we view as, a very strong 109% of operating expenditures. Sales and property tax receipts, the primary income sources, generated 41% and 20%, respectively, of fiscal 2012 operating revenue. Westlake ended fiscal years 2010 and 2011 with operating surpluses of about $1.1 million and $222,000, respectively. Unassigned fund balance was $3.5 million at fiscal year-end 2011, or, in our view, a very strong 87% of operating expenditures. Historically, sales tax receipts have been the primary operating revenue source; in fiscal 2011, however, Westlake began levying a property tax rate. Management indicates one of the reasons it instituted a property tax was to lessen its reliance on the volatile sales tax revenue stream. Westlake participates in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). The annual pension contribution to the TMRS was $132,882, or about 1% of governmental expenses, in fiscal 2012. As of Dec. 31, 2011, the pension plan was 84.6% funded. In fiscal 2013, the town's projected contribution is slightly less than $132,000. Westlake also participates in the TMRS-administered supplemental death benefits fund (SDBF). It has made 100% of the annual required contribution to the SDBF. Standard & Poor's deems Westlake's financial management practices "good" under its Financial Management Assessment methodology, indicating financial practices exist in most areas but that governance officials might not formalize or regularly monitor all of them. Overall net debt is, what we view as, moderately high at about 9.5% of AV, or an extremely high $82,834 per capita. Debt service carrying charges were, in our view, a moderate 13.3% of fiscal 2012 expenditures. We consider debt amortization extended with officials planning to retire 33% of principal over 10 years, 89% over 20 years, and 100% by WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.CON%/RATINGSDIRECT MARCH 21, 2013 3 1099974 1301753340 Summary: Westlake, Texas; General Obligation 2043. Officials do not plan to issue any additional debt within the next 12 months. The stable outlook reflects Standard & Poor's opinion that officials will likely sustain Westlake's very strong unreserved general fund balance. It is also our expectation that the town's implementation of a property tax levy will likely continue to provide a more stable revenue stream for general and capital project funds, improving financial performance and stability. We believe Westlake's inclusion in the diverse Dallas -Fort Worth MSA economy provides additional support for the stable outlook. For these reasons, we do not expect to change the rating within the outlook's two-year period.

The Obligations are being issued pursuant to the Ordinance (a) to provide for the payment of costs of issuing the Obligations, and (b) to pay all or a portion of the Issuer's contractual obligations for the purpose of constructing and equipping buildings and related improvements at the Westlake Academy to be used for a cafetorium, for use as a cafeteria, gymnasium and auditorium, a classroom building and a field house; constructing, installing, acquiring and equipping improvements, additions and extensions to the Issuer's waterworks and sewer system, including a ground storage tank (the "Projects"). 2.2. The Issuer expects that the aggregate useful lives of the Projects exceed 30 years from the later of the date the Projects are placed in service or the date on which the Obligations are issued. 2.3. All earnings, such as interest and dividends, received from the investment of the proceeds of the Obligations during the period of acquisition and construction of the Projects and not used to pay interest on the Obligations, will be used to pay the costs of the Projects, unless required to be rebated and paid to the United States in accordance with section 148(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). The proceeds of the Obligations, together with any investment earnings thereon, are expected not to exceed the amount necessary for the governmental purpose of the Obligations. The Issuer expects that no disposition proceeds will arise in connection with the Projects or the Obligations. 3. Expenditure of Certificate Proceeds and Use of Projects. 3.1. The Issuer will incur, within six months after the date of issue of the Obligations, a binding obligation to commence the Projects, either by entering into contracts for the construction of the Projects or by entering into contracts for architectural or engineering services for such Projects, or contracts for the development, purchase of construction materials, or purchase of equipment, for the Projects, with the amount to be paid under such contracts to be in excess of five percent of the proceeds which are estimated to be used for the cost of the Projects. 3.2. After entering into binding obligations, work on such Projects will proceed promptly with due diligence to completion. 3.3. All original proceeds derived from the sale of the Obligations to be applied to the Projects and all investment earnings thereon (other than any amounts required to be rebated to the United States pursuant to section 148(f) of the Code) will be expended for the Projects no later than a date which is three years after the date of issue of the Obligations. 3.4. The Ordinance provides that allocations of proceeds to expenditures for the Projects are expected not to be later than 18 months after the later of the date of the expenditure or the date that the Projects are placed in service, but, in any event, not longer than 60 days after the earlier of five years of the date hereof or the date the Obligations are retired. 3.5. Only Project costs paid or incurred by the Issuer on or after 60 days prior to the date the Issuer approved the funding of the Project (the "60 -day period") through its declaration of official intent ("Qualified Costs") will be paid or reimbursed with Bond proceeds. For this purpose Qualified Costs also include preliminary expenditures, incurred prior to the 60 -day period before the approval of the Issuer through its declaration of official intent, up to an amount not in excess of 20 percent of the aggregate amount of the Obligations. No Qualified Cost represents the cost of property or land acquired from a related party. 3.6. The Issuer will not invest the proceeds prior to such expenditure in any guaranteed investment contract or other nonpurpose investment with a substantially guaranteed yield for a period equal to or greater than four years. 3.7. Other than members of the general public, the Issuer expects that throughout the lesser of the term of the Obligations, or the useful lives of the Projects, the only user of the Projects will be the Issuer or the Issuer's employees and agents. The Issuer will be the manager of the Projects except for the manager of the cafetorium (the "Manager"). The Issuer has not entered, nor will it enter, into any contract, agreement or arrangements with the non-governmental persons with respect to the management, operation or provision of services with respect to the Project (or any portion thereof), other than the contract with the Manager, unless such agreements or arrangements have complied, or will comply, with the guidelines set forth in Rev. Proc. 97-13, 1997-1 C.B. 632, or an opinion of a nationally recognized bound counsel is received. In no event will the proceeds of the Bonds or facilities financed and refinanced therewith be used for private business use in an amount greater than the lesser of $15 million or 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds. The Issuer represents that it will monitor annually the amount of private business uses at the Projects to ensure that such amount will not exceed the applicable amount. The Issuer does not expect to enter into long-term sales of output from the Projects (or portion thereof), except on the basis of generally -applicable and uniformly applied rates. The Issuer may apply different rates for different classes of customers, including volume purchasers, which are reasonable and customary. 3.8. Except as stated below, the Issuer expects not to sell or otherwise dispose of property constituting the Projects prior to the earlier of the end of such property's useful life or the final maturity of the Obligations. The Ordinance provides that the Issuer will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Projects unless the Issuer receives an opinion of nationally -recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Obligations. 3.9. For purposes of Subsection 3.8 hereof, the Issuer has not included the portion of the Projects comprised of personal property that is disposed in the ordinary course at a price that is expected to be less than 25 percent of the original purchase price. The Issuer, upon any disposition of such 2 property, will transfer the receipts from the disposition of such property to the general operating fund and expend such receipts within six months for other governmental programs. 4. Interest and Sinking Fund. 4.1. A separate and special Interest and Sinking Fund has been created and established, other than as described herein, solely to pay the principal of and interest on the Obligations (the "Bona Fide Debt Service Portion"). The Bona Fide Debt Service Portion constitutes a fund that is used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues and debt service within each bond year. Such portion will be completely depleted at least once each year except for an amount not in excess of the greater of (a) one - twelfth of the debt service on the Obligations for the previous year, or (b) the previous year's earnings on such portion of the Interest and Sinking Fund. Amounts deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund constituting the Bona Fide Debt Service Portion will be spent within a thirteen -month period beginning on the date of deposit, and any amount received from the investment of money held in the Interest and Sinking Fund will be spent within a one-year period beginning on the date of receipt. 4.2. Any money deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund and any amounts received from the investment thereof that accumulate and remain on hand therein after thirteen months from the date of deposit of any such money or one year after the receipt of any such amounts from the investment thereof shall constitute a separate portion of the Interest and Sinking Fund. The yield on any investments allocable to the portion of the Interest and Sinking Fund exceeding the sum of (a) the Bona Fide Debt Service Portion and (b) an amount equal to the lesser of five percent of the sale and investment proceeds of the Obligations or $100,000 will be restricted to a yield that does not exceed the yield on the Obligations. 5. Yield. 5.1. The issue price of the Obligations included in the Form 8038 G, is based on the Issue Price Certificate attached hereto. 5.2. The Issuer has not entered into any qualified guarantee or qualified hedge with respect to the Obligations. The yield on the Obligations will not be affected by subsequent unexpected events, except to the extent provided in section 1.148-4(h)(3) of the Treasury Regulations when and if the Issuer enters into a qualified hedge or into any transaction transferring, waiving or modifying any right that is part of the terms of any Certificate. The Issuer will consult with nationally recognized bond counsel prior to entering into any of the foregoing transactions. 6. Invested Sinking Fund Proceeds, Replacement Proceeds. 6.1. The Issuer has, in addition to the moneys received from the sale of the Obligations, certain other moneys that are invested in various funds which are pledged for various purposes. These other funds are not available to accomplish the purposes described in Section 2 of this Certificate. 6.2. Other than the Interest and Sinking Fund, there are, and will be, no other funds or accounts established, or to be established, by or on behalf of the Issuer (a) which are reasonably expected to be used, or to generate earnings to be used, to pay debt service on the Obligations, or (b) which are reserved or pledged as collateral for payment of debt service on the Obligations and for which there is reasonable assurance that amounts therein will be available to pay such debt service if the Issuer encounters financial difficulties. Accordingly, there are no other amounts constituting "gross proceeds" of the Obligations, within the meaning of section 148 of the Code. 7. Other Obligations. 7.1. There are no other obligations of the Issuer that (a) are sold at substantially the same time as the Obligations, i.e., within 15 days of the date of sale of the Obligations, (b) are sold pursuant to a common plan of financing with the Obligations, and (c) will be payable from the same source of funds as the Obligations. 7.2. The Issuer has not issued nor does it expect to issue any other tax-exempt obligations during the current calendar year, other than the $2,200,000, which were issued with an original issue price of $2,237,723. 8. Federal Tax Audit Responsibilities. The Issuer acknowledges that in the event of an examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") to determine compliance of the Obligations with the provisions of the Code as they relate to tax-exempt obligations, the Issuer will respond, and will direct its agents and assigns to respond, in a commercially reasonable manner to any inquiries from the Service in connection with such an examination. The Issuer understands and agrees that the examination may be subject to public disclosure under applicable Texas law. The Issuer acknowledges that this Certificate, including any attachments, does not constitute an opinion of Bond Counsel as to the proper federal tax or accounting treatment of any specific transaction. 9. Record Retention and Private Business Use. The Issuer has covenanted in the Ordinance that it will comply with the requirements of the Code relating to the exclusion of the interest on the Obligations under section 103 of the Code. The Service has determined that certain materials, records and information should be retained by the issuers of tax-exempt obligations for the purpose of enabling the Service to confirm the exclusion of the interest on such obligations under section 103 of the Code. ACCORDINGLY, THE ISSUER SHALL TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT ALL MATERIALS, RECORDS AND INFORMATION NECESSARY TO CONFIRM THE EXCLUSION OF THE INTEREST ON THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 103 OF THE CODE ARE RETAINED FOR THE PERIOD BEGINNING ON THE ISSUE DATE OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND ENDING THREE YEARS AFTER THE DATE THE OBLIGATIONS ARE RETIRED. The Issuer acknowledges receipt of the letters attached hereto as Exhibit "B" which discusses limitations related to private business use and Exhibit "C" which, in part, discusses specific guidance by the Service with respect to the retention of records relating to tax-exempt bond transactions. 10. Rebate to United States. The Issuer has covenanted in the Ordinance that it will comply with the requirements of the Code, including section 148(f) of the Code, relating to the required rebate to the United States. Specifically, the Issuer will take steps to ensure that all earnings on gross proceeds of the Obligations in excess of the yield on the Obligations required to be rebated to the United States will be timely paid to the United States. The Issuer acknowledges receipt of the memorandum attached hereto as Exhibit "A" which discusses regulations promulgated pursuant to section 148(f) of the Code.

On June 18, 1993, the U.S. Treasury Department promulgated regulations relating to the computation of arbitrage rebate and the rebate exceptions. These regulations, which replace the previously -published regulations promulgated on May 15, 1989, and on May 18, 1992, are effective for bonds issued after June 30, 1993. This memorandum was prepared by McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. and provides a general discussion of these arbitrage rebate regulations. This memorandum does not otherwise discuss the general arbitrage regulations, other than as they may incidentally relate to rebate. This memorandum also does not attempt to provide an exhaustive discussion of the arbitrage rebate regulations and should not be considered advice with respect to the arbitrage rebate requirements as applied to any individual or governmental unit or any specific transaction. Any tax advice contained in this memorandum is of a general nature and is not intended to be used, and should not be used, by any person to avoid penalties under the Code. McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. remains available to provide legal advice to issuers with respect to the provisions of these tax regulations but recommends that issuers seek competent financial and accounting assistance in calculating the amount of such issuer's rebate liability under section 148(f) of the Code and in making elections to apply the rebate exceptions. Effective Dates 1 In this memorandum the word "bond" is defined to include any bond, note, certificate, financing lease or other obligation of an issuer. Copyright 2006 by Harold T. Flanagan, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. All rights reserved. The regulations promulgated on June 18, 1993, generally apply to bonds delivered after June 30, 1993, although they do permit an issuer to elect to apply the rules to bonds issued prior to that date. The temporary regulations adopted by the U.S. Treasury Department in 1989 and 1992 incorporated the same effective dates which generally apply for purposes of section 148(f) of the Code. As such, the previous versions of the rebate regulations generally applied to bonds issued between August 1986 and June 30, 1993 (or, with an election, to bonds issued prior to August 15, 1993). The statutory provisions of section 148(f) of the Code, other than the exception for construction issues, apply to all bonds issued after August 15, 1986, (for private activity bonds) and August 31, 1986, (for governmental public purpose bonds). The statutory exception to rebate applicable for construction issues generally applies if such issue is delivered after December 19, 1989. The regulations provide numerous transitional rules for bonds sold prior to July 1, 1993. Moreover, since, under prior law, rules were previously published with respect to industrial development bonds and mortgage revenue bonds, the transitional rules contained in these regulations permit an issuer to elect to apply certain of these rules for computing rebate on pre - 1986 bonds. The regulations provide for numerous elections which would permit an issuer to apply the rules (other than 18 -month spending exception) to bonds which were issued prior to July 1, 1993 and remain outstanding on June 30, 1993. Due to the complexity of the regulations, it is impossible to discuss in this memorandum all circumstances for which specific elections are provided. If an issuer prefers to use these final version of rebate regulations in lieu of the computational method stated under prior law (e.g., due to prior redemption) or the regulations, please contact McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. for advice as to the availability of such options. Future Value Computation Method The regulations employ an actuarial method for computing the rebate amount based on the future value of the investment receipts (i.e., earnings) and payments. The rebate method employs a two-step computation to determine the amount of the rebate payment. First, the issuer determines the bond yield. Second, the issuer determines the arbitrage rebate amount. The regulations require that the computations be made at the end of each five-year period and upon final maturity of the issue (the "computation dates"). THE FINAL MATURITY DATE WILL ACCELERATE IN CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THE BONDS ARE OPTIONALLY REDEEMED PRIOR TO MATURITY. AS SUCH, IF BONDS ARE REFUNDED OR OTHERWISE REDEEMED, THE REBATE MAY BE DUE EARLIER THAN INITIALLY PROJECTED. In order to accommodate accurate record-keeping and to assure that sufficient amounts will be available for the payment of arbitrage rebate liability, however, we recommend that the computations be performed at least annually. Please refer to other materials provided by McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. relating to federal tax rules regarding record retention. Underthe future value method, the amount of rebate is determined by compounding the aggregate earnings on all the investments from the date of receipt by the issuer to the computation date. Similarly, a payment for an investment is future valued from the date that the payment is made to the computation date. The receipts and payments are future valued at a discount rate equal to the yield on the bonds. The rebatable arbitrage, as of any computation date, is equal to the excess of the (1) future value of all receipts from investments (i.e., earnings), over (2) the future value of all payments. McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 2 The following example is provided in the regulations to illustrate how arbitrage rebate is computed under the future value method for a fixed -yield bond: "On January 1, 1994, City A issues a fixed yield issue and invests all the sale proceeds of the issue ($49 million). There are no other gross proceeds. The issue has a yield of 7.0000 percent per year compounded semiannually (computed on a 30 day month/360 day year basis). City A receives amounts from the investment and immediately expends them for the governmental purpose of the issue as follows: Date Amount 2/1/1994 $ 3,000,000 4/11/1994 5,000,000 6/11/1994 14,000,000 9/11/1994 20,000,000 7/11/1995 10,000,000 City A selects a bond year ending on January 1, and thus the first required computation date is January 1, 1999. The rebate amount as of this date is computed by determining the future value of the receipts and the payments for the investment. The compounding interval is each 6 -month (or shorter) period and the 30 day month/360 day year basis is used because these conventions were used to compute yield on the issue. The future value of these amounts, plus the computation credit, as of January 1, 1999, is: Date Receipts (Payments) 01/1/1994 ($49,000,000) 02/1/1994 3,000,000 04/1/1994 5,000,000 06/1/1994 14,000,000 09/1/1994 20,000,000 01/1/1995 (1,000) 07/1/1995 10,000,000 01/1/1996 (1,000) Rebate amount (01/01/1999) General Method for Computing Yield on Bonds FY (7.0000 percent) ($69,119,339) 4,207,602 6,932,715 19,190,277 26,947,162 (1,317) 12,722,793 (1,229) :.. In general, the term "yield," with respect to a bond, means the discount rate that when used in computing the present value of all unconditionally due payments of principal and interest and all of the payments for a qualified guarantee produces an amount equal to the issue price of the bond. The term "issue price" has the same meaning as provided in sections 1273 and 1274 of the Code. That is, if bonds are publicly offered (i.e., sold by the issuer to a bond house, broker or similar person acting in the capacity of underwriter or wholesaler), the issue price of each bond is determined on the basis of the initial offering price to the public (not McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 3 to the aforementioned intermediaries) at which price a substantial amount of such bond was sold to the public (not to the aforementioned intermediaries). The "issue price" is separately determined for each bond (i.e., maturity) comprising an issue. The regulations also provide varying periods for computing yield on the bonds depending on the method by which the interest payment is determined. Thus, for example, yield on an issue of bonds sold with variable interest rates (i.e., interest rates which are reset periodically based on changes in market) is computed separately for each annual period ending on the first anniversary of the delivery date that the issue is outstanding. In effect, yield on a variable yield issue is determined on each computation date by "looking back" at the interest payments for such period. The regulations, however, permit an issuer of a variable -yield issue to elect to compute the yield for annual periods ending on any date in order to permit a matching of such yield to the expenditure of the proceeds. Any such election must be made in writing, is irrevocable, and must be made no later than the earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary date, or (2) the final maturity date. Yield on a fixed interest rate issue (i.e., an issue of bonds the interest rate on which is determined as of the date of the issue) is computed over the entire term of the issue. Issuers of fixed -yield issues generally use the yield computed as of the date of issue for all rebate computations. Such yield on fixed -yield issues generally is recomputed only if (1) the issue is sold at a substantial premium, may be retired within five years of the date of delivery, and such date is earlier than its scheduled maturity date, or (2) the issue is a stepped -coupon bond. In such cases, the regulations require the issuer to recompute the yield on such issues by taking into account the early retirement value of the bonds. Similarly, recomputation may occur in circumstances in which the issuer or bondholder modify or waive certain terms of, or rights with respect to, the issue or in sophisticated hedging transactions. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, ISSUERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT Mc CALL, PARKHURST & HOR TON L.L.P. TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THESE TRANSACTIONS. For purposes of determining the principal or redemption payments on a bond, different rules are used for fixed-rate and variable-rate bonds. The payment is computed separately on each maturity of bonds rather than on the issue as a whole. In certain circumstances, the yield on the bond is determined by assuming that principal on the bond is paid as scheduled and that the bond is retired on the final maturity date for the stated retirement price. For bonds subject to early redemption or stepped -coupon bonds, described above, or for bonds subject to mandatory early redemption, the yield is computed assuming the bonds are paid on the early redemption date for an amount equal to their value. Premiums paid to guarantee the payment of debt service on bonds are taken into account in computing the yield on the bond. Payments for guarantees are taken into account by treating such premiums as the payment of interest on the bonds. This treatment, in effect, raises the yield on the bond, thereby permitting the issuer to recover such fee with excess earnings. The guarantee must be an unconditional obligation of the guarantor enforceable by the bondholder for the payment of principal or interest on the bond or the tender price of a tender bond. The guarantee may be in the form of an insurance policy, surety bond, irrevocable letter or line of credit, or standby purchase agreement. Importantly, the guarantor must be legally entitled to full reimbursement for any payment made on the guarantee either immediately or McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 4 upon commercially reasonable repayment terms. The guarantor may not be a co -obligor of the bonds or a user of more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the bonds. Payments for the guarantee may not exceed a reasonable charge for the transfer of credit risk. This reasonable charge requirement is not satisfied unless it is reasonably expected that the guarantee will result in a net present value savings on the bond (i.e., the premium does not exceed the present value of the interest savings resulting by virtue of the guarantee). If the guarantee is entered into after June 14, 1989, then any fees charged for the nonguarantee services must be separately stated or the guarantee fee is not recoverable. The regulations also treat certain "hedging" transactions in a manner similarto qualified guarantees. "Hedges" are contracts, e.g., interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options, which are intended to reduce the risk of interest rate fluctuations. Hedges and other financial derivatives are sophisticated and ever -evolving financial products with which a memorandum, such as this, cannot readily deal. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, ISSUERS AREADVISED TO CONSULT Mc CALL, PARKHURST & HORTON L.L.P. TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THESE TRANSACTIONS. Earnings on Nonpurpose Investments The arbitrage rebate provisions apply only to the receipts from the investment of "gross proceeds" in "nonpurpose investments." For this purpose, nonpurpose investments are stock, bonds or other obligations acquired with the gross proceeds of the bonds for the period prior to the expenditure of the gross proceeds for the ultimate purpose. For example, investments deposited to construction funds, reserve funds (including surplus taxes or revenues deposited to sinking funds) or other similar funds are nonpurpose investments. Such investments include only those which are acquired with "gross proceeds." For this purpose, the term "gross proceeds" includes original proceeds received from the sale of the bonds, investment earnings from the investment of such original proceeds, amounts pledged to the payment of debt service on the bonds or amounts actually used to pay debt service on the bonds. The regulations do not provide a sufficient amount of guidance to include an exhaustive list of "gross proceeds" for this purpose; however, it can be assumed that "gross proceeds" represent all amounts received from the sale of bonds, amounts earned as a result of such sale or amounts (including taxes and revenues) which are used to pay, or secure the payment of, debt service for the bonds. The total amount of "gross proceeds" allocated to a bond generally can not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the bonds. The regulations provide that an investment is allocated to an issue for the period (1) that begins on the date gross proceeds are used to acquire the investment, and (2) that ends on the date such investment ceases to be allocated to the issue. In general, proceeds are allocated to a bond issue until expended forthe ultimate purpose forwhich the bond was issued or for which such proceeds are received (e.g., construction of a bond -financed facility or payment of debt service on the bonds). Deposit of gross proceeds to the general fund of the issuer (or other fund in which they are commingled with revenues or taxes) does not eliminate or ameliorate the Issuer's obligation to compute rebate in most cases. As such, proceeds commingled with the general revenues of the issuer are not "freed -up" from the rebate obligation. An exception to this commingling limitation for bonds, other than private activity bonds, permits "investment earnings" (but not sale proceeds or other types of gross proceeds) to be considered spent when deposited to a commingled fund if those amounts are reasonably McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 5 expected to be spent within six months. Other than for these amounts, issuers may consider segregating investments in order to more easily compute the amount of such arbitrage earnings by not having to allocate investments. Special rules are provided for purposes of advance refundings. These rules are too complex to discuss in this memorandum. Essentially, the rules relating to refundings, however, do not require that amounts deposited to the escrow fund to defease the prior obligations of the issuer be subject to arbitrage rebate to the extent that the investments deposited to the escrow fund do not have a yield in excess of the yield on the bonds. Any loss resulting from the investment of proceeds in an escrow fund below the yield on the bonds, however, may be recovered by combining those investments with investments deposited to other funds, e.g., reserve or construction funds. The arbitrage regulations also provide an exception to the arbitrage limitations for the investment of bond proceeds in tax-exempt obligations. As such, investment of proceeds in tax exempt bonds eliminates the Issuer's rebate obligation. A caveat; this exception does not apply to gross proceeds derived allocable to a bond, which is not subject to the alternative minimum tax under section 57(a)(5) of the Code, if invested in tax-exempt bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax, i.e., " private activity bonds." Such "AMT -subject" investment is treated as a taxable investment and must comply with the arbitrage rules, including rebate. Earnings from these tax-exempt investments are subject to arbitrage restrictions, including rebate. Similarly, the investment of gross proceeds in certain tax-exempt mutual funds are treated as a direct investment in the tax-exempt obligations deposited in such fund. While issuers may invest in such funds for purposes of avoiding arbitrage rebate, they should be aware that if "private activity bonds" are included in the fund then a portion of the earnings will be subject to arbitrage rebate. Issuers should be prudent in assuring that the funds do not contain private activity bonds. The arbitrage regulations provide a number of instances in which earnings will be imputed to nonpurpose investments. Receipts generally will be imputed to investments that do not bear interest at an arm's-length (i.e., market) interest rate. As such, the regulations adopt a "market price" rule. In effect, this rule prohibits an issuer from investing bond proceeds in investments at a price which is higher than the market price of comparable obligations, in order to reduce the yield. Special rules are included for determining the market price for investment contracts, certificates of deposit and certain U.S. Treasury obligations. For example, to establish the fair market value of investment contracts a bidding process between three qualified bidders must be used. The fair market value of certificates of deposit which bear a fixed interest rate and are subject to an early withdrawal penalty is its purchase price if that price is not less than the yield on comparable U.S. Treasury obligations and is the highest yield available from the institution. In any event, a basic "common sense" rule -of -thumb that can be used to determine whether a fair market value has been paid is to ask whether the general funds of the issuer would be invested at the same yield or at a higher yield. An exception to this market price rule is available for United States Treasury Obligations - State or Local Government Series in which case the purchase price is always the market price. Reimbursement and Working Capital McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 6 The regulations provide rules for purposes of determining whether gross proceeds are used for working capital and, if so, at what times those proceeds are considered spent. In general, working capital financings are subject to many of the same rules that have existed since the mid-1970s. For example, the regulations generally continue the 13 -month temporary period. By adopting a "proceeds -spent -last" rule, the regulations also generally require that an issuer actually incur a deficit (i.e., expenditures must exceed receipts) for the computation period (which generally corresponds to the issuer's fiscal year). Also, the regulations continue to permit an operating reserve, but unlike prior regulations the amount of such reserve may not exceed five percent of the issuer's actual working capital expenditures for the prior fiscal year. Another change made by the regulations is that the issuer may not finance the operating reserve with proceeds of a tax-exempt obligation. Importantly, the regulations contain rules for determining whether proceeds used to reimburse an issuer for costs paid prior to the date of issue of the obligation, in fact, are considered spent at the time of reimbursement. These rules apply to an issuer who uses general revenues for the payment of all or a portion of the costs of a project then uses the proceeds of the bonds to reimburse those general revenues. Failure to comply with these rules would result in the proceeds continuing to be subject to federal income tax restrictions, including rebate. To qualify for reimbursement, a cost must be described in an expression (e.g., resolution, legislative authorization) evidencing the issuer's intent to reimburse which is made no later than 60 days after the payment of the cost. Reimbursement must occur no later than 18 months after the later of (1) the date the cost is paid or (2) the date the project is placed in service. Except for projects requiring an extended construction period or small issuers, in no event can a cost be reimbursed more than three years after the cost is paid. Reimbursement generally is not permitted for working capital; only capital costs, grants and loans maybe reimbursed. Moreover, certain anti -abuse rules apply to prevent issuers from avoiding the limitations on refundings. IN CASES INVOLVING WORKING CAPITAL OR REIMBURSEMENT, ISSUERS ARE ADVISED TO CONTACT McCALL, PARKHURST & HORTON L.L.P. TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION. Rebate Payments Rebate payments generally are due 60 days after each installment computation date. The interim computation dates occur each fifth anniversary of the issue date. The final computation date is on the latest of (1) the date 60 days after the date the issue of bonds is no longer outstanding, (2) the date eight months after the date of issue for certain short-term obligations (i.e., obligations retired within three years), or (3) the date the issuer no longer reasonably expects any spending exception, discussed below, to apply to the issue. On such payment dates, other than the final payment date, an issuer is required to pay 90 percent of the rebatable arbitrage to the United States. On the final payment date, an issuer is required to pay 100 percent of the remaining rebate liability. Failure to timely pay rebate does not necessarily result in the loss of tax -exemption. Late payments, however, are subject to the payment of interest, and unless waived, a penalty of 50 percent (or, in the case of private activity bonds, other than qualified 501(c)(3) bonds, 100 McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 7 percent) of the rebate amount which is due. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, ISSUERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT McCALL, PARKHURST & HORTON L.L.P. TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THESE TRANSACTIONS. Rebate payments are refundable. The issuer, however, must establish to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service that the issuer paid an amount in excess of the rebate and that the recovery of the overpayment on that date would not result in additional rebatable arbitrage. An overpayment of less than $5,000 may not be recovered before the final computation date. Alternative Penalty Amount In certain cases, an issuer of a bond the proceeds of which are to be used for construction may elect to pay a penalty, in lieu of rebate. The penalty may be elected in circumstances in which the issuer expects to satisfy the two-year spending exception which is more fully described under the heading "Exceptions to Rebate." The penalty is payable, if at all, within 60 days after the end of each six-month period. This is more often than rebate. The election of the alternative penalty amount would subject an issuer, which fails the two-year spend -out requirements, to the payment of a penalty equal to one and one-half of the excess of the amount of proceeds which was required to be spent during that period over the amount which was actually spent during the period. The penalty has characteristics which distinguish it from arbitrage rebate. First, the penalty would be payable without regard to whether any arbitrage profit is actually earned. Second, the penalty continues to accrue until either (1) the appropriate amount is expended or (2) the issuer elects to terminate the penalty. To be able to terminate the penalty, the issuer must meet specific requirements and, in some instances, must pay an additional penalty equal to three percent of the unexpended proceeds. Exceptions to Rebate The Code and regulations provide certain exceptions to the requirement that the excess investment earnings be rebated to the United States. a. Small Issuers. The first exception provides that if an issuer (together with all subordinate issuers) during a calendar year does not issue tax-exempt bonds2 in an aggregate face amount exceeding $5 million, then the obligations are not subject to rebate. Only issuers with general taxing powers may take advantage of this exception. Subordinate issuers are those issuers which derive their authority to issue bonds from the same issuer, e.g., a city and a health facilities development corporation, or which are controlled by the same issuer, e.g., a state and the board of a public university. In the case of bonds issued for public school capital expenditures, the $5 million cap may be increased to as much as $15 million. For purposes of measuring whether bonds in the calendar year exceed these dollar limits, current refunding z For this purpose, "private activity bonds" neither are afforded the benefit of this exception nor are taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of bonds issued. McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 8 bonds can be disregarded if they meet certain structural requirements. Please contact McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. for further information. b. Spending Exceptions. Six -Month Exception. The second exception to the rebate requirement is available to all tax-exempt bonds, all of the gross proceeds of which are expended during six months. The six month rule is available to bonds issued after the effective date of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. See the discussion of effective dates on page two. For this purpose, proceeds used for the redemption of bonds (other than proceeds of a refunding bond deposited to an escrow fund to discharge refunded bonds) can not be taken into account as expended. As such, bonds with excess gross proceeds generally can not satisfy the second exception unless the amount does not exceed the lesser of five percent or $100,000 and such de minimis amount must be expended within one year. Certain gross proceeds are not subject to the spend -out requirement, including amounts deposited to a bona fide debt service fund, to a reserve fund and amounts which become gross proceeds received from purpose investments. These amounts themselves, however, may be subject to rebate even though the originally expended proceeds were not. The Code provides a special rule for tax and revenue anticipation notes (i.e., obligations issued to pay operating expenses in anticipation of the receipt of taxes and other revenues). Such notes are referred to as TRANs. To determine the timely expenditure of the proceeds of a TRAN, the computation of the "cumulative cash flow deficit" is important. If the "cumulative cash flow deficit" (i.e., the point at which the operating expenditures of the issuer on a cumulative basis exceed the revenues of the issuer during the fiscal year) occurs within the first six months of the date of issue and must be equal to at least 90 percent of the proceeds of the TRAN, then the notes are deemed to satisfy the exception. This special rule requires, however, that the deficit actually occur, not that the issuer merely have an expectation that the deficit will occur. In lieu of the statutory exception for TRANs, the regulations also provide a second exception. Under this exception, 100 percent of the proceeds must be spent within six months, but before note proceeds can be considered spent, all other available amounts of the issuer must be spent first ("proceeds -spent -last" rule). In determining whether all available amounts are spent, a reasonable working capital reserve equal to five percent of the prior year's expenditures may be set aside and treated as unavailable. 18 -Month Exception. The regulations also establish a non -statutory exception to arbitrage rebate if all of the gross proceeds (including investment earnings) are expended within 18 months after the date of issue. Under this exception, 15 percent of the gross proceeds must be expended within a six-month spending period, 60 percent within a 12 -month spending period and 100 percent within an 18 -month spending period. The rule permits an issuer to rely on its reasonable expectations for computing investment earnings which are included as gross proceeds during the first and second spending period. A reasonable retainage not to exceed five percent of the sale proceeds of the issue is not required to be spent within the 18 -month period but must be expended within 30 months. Rules similar to the six-month exception relate to the definition of gross proceeds. Two Year Exception. Bonds issued after December 19, 1989 (i.e., the effective date of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1989), at least 75 percent of the net proceeds of which are to be used for construction, may be exempted from rebate if the gross proceeds are spent McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 9 within two years. Bonds more than 25 percent of the proceeds of which are used for acquisition or working capital may not take advantage of this exception. The exception applies only to governmental bonds, qualified 501(c)(3) bonds and private activity bonds for governmentally - owned airports and docks and wharves. The two-year exception requires that at least 10 percent of the available construction proceeds must be expended within six months after the date of issue, 45 percent within 12 months, 75 percent within 18 months and 100 percent within 24 months. The term "available construction proceeds" generally means sale proceeds of the bonds together with investment earnings less amounts deposited to a qualified reserve fund or used to pay costs of issuance. Under this rule, a reasonable retainage not to exceed five percent need not be spent within 24 months but must be spent within 36 months. The two-year rule also provides for numerous elections which must be made not later than the date of issuance of the bonds. Once made, the elections are irrevocable. Certain elections permit an issuer to bifurcate bond issues, thereby treating only a portion of the issue as a qualified construction bond; and, permit an issuer to disregard earnings from reserve funds for purposes of determining "available construction proceeds." Another election permits an issuer to pay the alternative penalty amount discussed above in lieu of rebate if the issuer ultimately fails to satisfy the two-year rule. Issuers should discuss these elections with their financial advisors prior to issuance of the bonds. Of course, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. remains available to assist you by providing legal interpretations thereof. Debt Service Funds. Additionally, an exception to the rebate requirement, whether or not any of the previously discussed exceptions are available, applies for earnings on "bona fide debt service funds." A "bona fide debt service fund" is one in which the amounts are expended within 13 months of the accumulation of such amounts by the issuer. In general, most interest and sinking funds (other than any excess taxes or revenues accumulated therein) satisfy these requirements. For private activity bonds, short term bonds (i.e., have a term of less than five years) or variable rate bonds, the exclusion is available only if the gross earnings in such fund does not exceed $100,000, for the bond year. For other bonds issued after November 11, 1988, no limitation is applied to the gross earnings on such funds for purposes of this exception. Therefore, subject to the foregoing discussion, the issuer is not required to take such amounts into account for purposes of the computation. FOR BONDS ISSUED AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE TAX REFORM ACT OF 1986 WHICH WERE OUTSTANDING AS OF NOVEMBER 11, 1988, OTHER THAN PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS, SHORT TERM BONDS OR VARIABLE RATE BONDS, A ONE-TIME ELECTION MAY BE MADE TO EXCLUDE EARNINGS ON "BONA FIDE DEBT SERVICE FUNDS" WITHOUT REGARD TO THE $100,000, LIMITATION. THE ELECTION MUST BE MADE IN WRITING (AND MAINTAINED AS PART OF THE ISSUER'S BOOKS AND RECORDS) NO LATER THAN THE LATER OF MARCH 21, 1990, OR THE FIRST DATE A REBATE PAYMENT IS REQUIRED.

Generally, in order for bonds issued by governmental units to be tax- exempt, no more than a de minimis amount of the proceeds of the bonds or the facilities financed with such proceeds may be used by non-governmental users. That is, there may be no more than an incidental use by persons, other than state or local governments. Too much private business use can cause the bonds to become taxable. Private business use for this purpose can be direct or can result from indirect benefits being conveyed to a private person by contractual arrangement. The following discussion describes, in general terms, those types of arrangements which need to be scrutinized. We hope that this general guideline will be useful to you in interacting with private parties regarding the use of bond proceeds or bond -financed facilities. While the statements contained herein are not intended as advice with regard to any specific transaction, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. remains available should you have questions about these rules. If you have any specific questions or comments, please feel free to contact Stefano Taverna or Harold T. Flanagan at (214) 754-9200. Private Business Use Arrangements that involve use in a trade or business by a nongovernmental person of bond proceeds or facilities financed with bond proceeds may cause a "private business use" problem. Bond -financed facilities may be used by a variety of people with differing consequences under these rules. For example, students, teachers, employees and the general public may use bond -financed facilities on a non-exclusive basis without constituting private business use. More problematic, however, is use of bond -financed facilities by groups such as managers, lessees (e.g., book store owners), persons providing services (e.g., food or cleaning), seminar groups, sports and entertainment groups, and even alumni associations. The benefits also may be considered to pass to a private person where the right to the output produced by the facility is transferred. For this purpose, the federal government is considered a non-governmental person. Use by an organization organized under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code in a trade or business unrelated to the exempt purpose of such organization also is considered use by a private person. The term "use" includes both actual and beneficial use. As such, private business use may arise in a variety of ways. For example, ownership of a bond -financed facility by a non-governmental person is private business use. The leasing of a bond -financed facility by a non-governmental person can also cause a private business use problem. Along the same line, management of such facilities by a non-governmental person can cause a problem with private business use, absent compliance with the management contract rules discussed below. Essentially, such use can occur in connection with any arrangement in which the non- governmental user has a preference to benefit from the proceeds or the facilities. Therefore, any arrangement which results in a non-governmental person being the ultimate beneficiary of the bond financing must be considered. 1. Sales and Leases. The sale of a bond -financed facility to a non- governmental person would cause a private business use problem if that facility involved the use of more than 10 percent of the bond proceeds. Since state law often prohibits a governmental issuer from lending credit, this circumstance generally does not occur. Leases, however, also could be a problem because such arrangements grant a possessory interest in the facility which results in the lessee receiving a right to use the facility which is superior to members of the general public. 2. Management Contracts. Having a private manager will give rise to private business use unless certain terms of the management agreement demonstrate that beneficial use has not been passed to the manager. These factors relate to the compensation arrangements, contract term, cancellation provisions, and the relationship of the parties. The primary focus of these rules is on compensation. In general, compensation must be reasonable and not be based, in whole or in part, on a share of net profits. Compensation arrangements may take one of four forms: (1) periodic fixed fee; (2) capitation fee; (3) per- unit fee; or (4) percentage of fees charged. In general, a periodic fixed fee arrangement, however, is required in which at least 50 percent of annual compensation be based on a predetermined fee. During the initial two year start-up period, compensation may be based on a percentage of fees charged (i.e., gross revenues, adjusted gross revenues or expenses). The term of a management contract, generally, may not exceed five years, including all renewal options, and must be cancelable by the governmental unit at the end of the third year. If per-unit fee compensation is used, the term is limited to three years, with a cancellation option for the governmental unit at the end of two years. Where compensation is based on a percentage of gross revenues, the contract may not extend beyond a term of two years, cancelable by the governmental unit at the end of the first year. In each instance, cancellation may be upon reasonable notice, but must be "without penalty or cause," meaning no covenant not to compete, buy-out provision or liquidated damages provision is allowed. Finally, the manager may not have any role or relationship with the governmental unit that would limit the ability of the governmental unit to exercise its rights under the contract. Any voting power of either party which is vested in the other party, including its officers, directors, shareholders and employees, may not exceed 20 percent. Further, the chief executive officer of either party may not serve on the governing board of the other party. Similarly, the two parties must not be members of the same controlled group or be related persons, as defined in certain provisions of federal tax law. 3. Cooperative Research Agreements. A cooperative research agreement with a private sponsor whereby the private party uses bond -financed facilities may cause a private business use problem. Nevertheless, such use of a bond -financed facility by a non- governmental person is to be disregarded for purposes of private business use if the arrangement is in one of the following forms. First, the arrangement may be disregarded if the sponsoring party is required to pay a competitive price for any license or other use of resulting technology, and such price must be determined at the time the technology is available. Second, an arrangement may also qualify if a four-part requirement is met: (1) multiple, unrelated industry sponsors must agree to fund university -performed basic research; (2) the university must determine the research to be performed and the manner in which it is to be performed; (3) the university must have exclusive title to any patent or other product incidentally resulting from the basic research; and (4) sponsors must be limited to no more than a nonexclusive, royalty -free license to use the product of any such research. McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 2 4. Output Contracts. In some circumstances, private business use arises by virtue of contractual arrangements in which a governmental unit agrees to sell the output from a bond -financed facility to a non-governmental person. If the non-governmental person is obligated to take the output or to pay for output even if not taken, then private business use will arise. This is because the benefits and burdens of the bond -financed facility are considered as inuring to the non-governmental purchaser. In addition to the general rule, output -type facilities, including electric and gas generation, transmission and related facilities (but not water facilities) are further limited in the amount of private business use which may be permitted. If more than 5 percent of the proceeds are used for output facilities and if more than 10 percent of the output is sold pursuant to an output arrangement, then the aggregate private business use which may result (for all bond issues) is $15,000,000. How Much Private Business Use is Too Much? In general, there is too much private business use if an amount in excess of 10 percent of the proceeds of the bond issue are to be used, directly or indirectly, in a trade or business carried on by persons otherthan governmental units, and otherthan as members of the general public. All trade or business use by persons on a basis different than that of the general public is aggregated for the 10 percent limit. Private business use is measured on a facility or bond issue basis. On a facility basis, such use is generally measured by relative square footage, fair market rental value or the percentage of cost allocable to the private use. On a bond issue basis, the proceeds of the bond issue are allocated to private and governmental (or public) use of the facility to determine the amount of private business use over the term of the bond issue. Temporary use is not necessarily "bad" (i.e, private use) even though it results in more than 10 percent of the facility being so used. For example, if 100 percent of a facility is used for a period equal to five percent of the term of the bond such use may not adversely impact the bonds. The question is whether the benefits and burdens of ownership have transferred to the private user, as in the case of a sale, lease or management contract. If these benefits and burdens have not transferred, such use may be disregarded for purposes of private business use. In addition, if the private use is considered "unrelated or disproportionate" to the governmental purpose for issuance of the bonds, the private business use test is met if the level of the prohibited private use rises to 5 percent. The "unrelated" question turns on the operational relationship between the private use and use for the governmental purpose. In most cases, a related use facility must be located within or adjacent to the related governmental facility, e.g., a privately -operated school cafeteria would be related to the school in which it is located. Whereas, the use of a bond -financed facility as an administrative office building for a catering company that operates cafeterias for a school system would not be a related use of bond proceeds. Nonetheless, even if a use is related, it is disproportionate to the extent that bond proceeds used for the private use will exceed proceeds used for the related governmental use. III. When are the tests applied to analyze the qualification of a bond? A bond is tested both (1) on the date of issue, and (2) over the term. The tests are applied to analyze the character of the bond on the date of issue, based on how the issuer expects to use the proceeds and the bond -financed property. This is known as the "reasonable expectations" standard. The tests also continuously are applied during the term of the bonds to determine whether there has been a deviation from those expectations. This is known as the "change of use" standard. When tested, bonds are viewed on an "issue -by -issue" basis. Generally, bonds secured by the same sources of funds are part of the same "issue" if they are sold within 15 days of one another. McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 3 IV. What is the reasonable expectations standard? The reasonable expectations standard will be the basis on which McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., as bond counsel, will render the federal income tax opinion on the bonds. The statement of expectations will be incorporated into the Federal Tax Certificate, previously referred to as the Federal Tax Certificate. The certificate also will contain information about the amounts to be expended on different types of property, e.g., land, buildings, equipment, in order to compute a weighted useful life of the bond -financed property. Based on the information on useful life, the maximum weighted average maturity of the bonds tested to ensure that is restricted to no more than 120 percent of the useful life of the property being financed or refinanced. V. Chanae of Use Standard. The disqualified private business use need not exist on the date of issue. Subsequent use by non-governmental persons also can cause a loss of tax -exemption. Post - issuance "change of use" of bond -financed facilities could result in the loss of the tax-exempt status of the bonds, unless certain elements exist which demonstrate the change was unforeseen. For this purpose, a change in use includes a failure to limit private business use subsequent to the date of issuance of the bonds. A reasonable expectation element requires that, as of the date of issue of the bonds, the governmental unit reasonably have expected to use the proceeds of the issue for qualified facilities for the entire term of the issue. To fall within the safe harbor rules which avoid loss of tax-exempt status the governmental unit must assure that no circumstances be present which indicate an attempt to avoid directly or indirectly the requirements of federal income tax law. Finally, the safe harbor requires that the governmental unit take remedial action that would satisfy one of the following provisions: redemption of bonds; alternative use of disposition proceeds of a facility that is financed by governmental bonds; or, alternative use of a facility that is financed by governmental bonds. For purposes of the latter two remedial action provisions, the governmental unit has 90 days from the date of the change of use to satisfy the requirements. In addition, there is an exception for small transactions for dispositions at a loss. VI. Written Procedures. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has initiated an active audit program intended to investigate the compliance of governmental issuers with the private activity bond rules described herein and the arbitrage rules described in the other memorandum provided to you by our firm. In connection with the expansion of this program, auditors and their supervisors have expressed the viewpoint that each governmental issuer should establish written procedures to assure continuing compliance. Moreover, the IRS is asking issuers to state in a bond issue's informational return (such an 8038-G) whether such procedures have been adopted. The federal tax certificate, together with the attached memoranda and bond covenants can be supplemented by standard written practices adopted by the executive officer or legislative bodies of the issuer. Accordingly, our firm is prepared to advise you with respect to additional practices which we believe would be beneficial in monitoring compliance and taking remedial action in cases of change in use. There is no standard uniform practice for all issuers to adopt because each issuer operates in unique fashion. However, if you wish us to assist you in developing practices which might assist you in complying with the viewpoints expressed by the IRS and its personnel, please contact your bond lawyer at McCall, Parkhurst & Horton LLP.

As a result of that issuance, the federal income tax laws impose certain restrictions on the investment and expenditure of amounts to be used for the project or to be deposited to the interest and sinking fund for the captioned obligations. The purpose of this letter is to set forth, in somewhat less technical language, those provisions of the tax law which require the timely use of bond proceeds and that investment of these amounts be at a yield which is not higher than the yield on the captioned obligations. For this purpose, please refer to line 21(e) of the Form 8038-G included in the transcript of proceedings for the yield on the captioned obligations. Please note that the Form 8038-G has been prepared based on the information provided by or on your behalf by your financial advisor. Accordingly, while we believe that the information is correct you may wish to have the yield confirmed before your rebate consultant or the paying agent attempt to rely on it. Generally, the federal tax laws provide that, unless excepted, amounts to be used for the project or to be deposited to the interest and sinking fund must be invested in obligations the combined yield on which does not exceed the yield on the obligations. Importantly, for purposes of administrative convenience, the obligations, however, have been structured in such a way as to avoid, for the most part, this restriction on investment yield. They also contain certain covenants relating to expenditures of proceeds designed to alert you to unintentional failures to comply with the laws affecting expenditures of proceeds and dispositions of property. First, the sale and investment proceeds to be used for the new money project may be invested for up to three years without regard to yield. (Such amounts, however, may be subject to rebate.) Thereafter, they must be invested at or below the bond yield. Importantly, expenditure of these proceeds must be accounted in your books and records. Allocations of these expenditures must occur within 18 months of the later of the date paid or the date the project is completed. The foregoing notwithstanding, the allocation should not occur later than 60 days after the earlier of (1) of five years after the delivery date of the obligations or (2) the date the obligations are retired unless you obtain an opinion of bond counsel. Second, the interest and sinking fund is made up of amounts which are received annually for the payment of current debt service on all the Issuer's outstanding obligations. Any taxes or revenues deposited to the interest and sinking fund which are to be used for the payment of current debt service on the captioned obligations, or any other outstanding obligations, are not subject to yield restriction. By definition, current debt service refers only to debt service to be paid within one year of the date of receipt of these amounts. For the most part, this would be debt service in the current fiscal year. These amounts deposited to the account for current debt service may be invested without regard to any constraint imposed by the federal income tax laws. Third, a portion of the interest and sinking fund is permitted to be invested without regard to yield restriction as a "minor portion." The "minor portion" exception is available for de minimis amounts of taxes or revenues deposited to the interest and sinking fund. The maximum amount that may be invested as part of this account may not exceed the lesser of five percent of the principal amount of the obligations or $100,000. Accordingly, you should review the current balance in the interest and sinking fund in order to determine if such balance exceeds the aggregate amounts discussed above. Additionally, in the future it is important that you be aware of these restrictions as additional amounts are deposited to the interest and sinking fund. The amounts in this fund which are subject to yield restriction would only be the amounts which are in excess of the sum of (1) the current debt service account and (2) the "minor portion" account. Moreover, to the extent that additional obligations are issued by the Issuer, whether for new money projects or for refunding, these amounts will change in their proportion. The Ordinance contains covenants that require the Issuer to comply with the requirements of the federal tax laws relating to the tax-exempt obligations. The Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") has determined that certain materials, records and information should be retained by the issuers of tax-exempt obligations for the purpose of enabling the Service to confirm the exclusion of the interest on such obligations under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the Issuer should retain such materials, records and information for the period beginning on the issue date of the captioned obligations and ending three years after the date the captioned obligations are retired. Please note this federal tax law standard may vary from state law standards. The material, records and information required to be retained will generally be contained in the transcript of proceedings for the captioned obligations, however, the Issuer should collect and retain additional materials, records and information to ensure the continued compliance with federal tax law requirements. For example, beyond the transcript of proceedings for the obligations, the Issuer should keep schedules evidencing the expenditure of certificate proceeds, documents relating to the use of bond -financed property by governmental and any private parties (e.g., leases and management contracts, if any) and schedules pertaining to the investment of certificate proceeds. In the event that you have questions relating to record retention, please contact us. The Service also wants some assurance that any failure to comply with the federal tax laws was not due to an issuer's intentional disregard or gross neglect of the responsibilities imposed on it by the federal tax laws. Therefore, to ensure post -issuance compliance, an issuer should consider adopting formalized written guidelines to help the issuer perform diligence reviews at regular intervals. The goal is for issuers to be able to timely identify and resolve violations of the laws necessary to maintain their obligations' tax -favored status. While the federal tax certificate, together with its attachments, may generally provide a basic written guideline when incorporated in an organizations' operations, the extent to which an organization has appropriate written compliance procedures in place is to be determined on a case-by-case basis Moreover, the Service has indicated that written procedures should identify the personnel that adopted the procedures, the personnel that is responsible for monitoring compliance, the frequency of compliance check activities, the nature of the compliance check activities undertaken, and the date such procedures were originally adopted and subsequently updated, if applicable. The Service has stated that the adoption of such procedures will be a favorable factor that the Service will consider when determining the amount of any penalty to be imposed on an issuer in the event of an unanticipated and non -curable failure to comply with the tax laws. Finally, you should notice that the Ordinance contains a covenant that limits the ability of the Issuer to sell or otherwise dispose of bond -financed property for compensation. Beginning for obligations issued after May 15, 1997 (including certain refunding certificates), or in cases in which an issuer elects to apply new private activity bond regulations, such sale or disposition causes the creation of a class of proceeds referred to as "disposition proceeds." Disposition proceeds, like sale proceeds and investment earnings, are tax -restricted funds. Failure to appropriately account, invest or expend such disposition proceeds would adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the obligations. In the event that you anticipate selling property, even in the ordinary course, please contact us. Obviously, this letter only presents a fundamental discussion of the yield restriction rules as applied to amounts deposited to the interest and sinking fund. Moreover, this letter does not address the rebate consequences with respect to the interest and sinking fund and you should review the memorandum attached to the Federal Tax Certificate as Exhibit "A" for this purpose. If you have certain concerns with respect to the matters discussed in this letter or wish to ask additional questions with regards to certain limitations imposed, please feel free to contact our firm. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to our continued relationship. Very truly yours, McCALL, PARKHURST & HORTON L.L.P. cc: Leroy Grawunder, Jr. Exhibit "D" ISSUE PRICE CERTIFICATE The undersigned, as the duly authorized representative of Southwest Securities, Inc.

NO ELECTION. The Issuer understands that the elections which are adopted as evidenced by the check in the box adjacent to the applicable provision are irrevocable. Further, the Issuer understands that qualification of the Bonds for eligibility for the exclusion from the rebate requirement set forth in section 148(f) of the Code is based on subsequent events and is unaffected by the Issuer's expectations of such events as of the date of delivery of the Bonds. Accordingly, while failure to execute this certificate and to designate the intended election does not preclude aualifcation, it would preclude the Issuer from the relief afforded by such election.

In that connection, we have reviewed (1) the ordinance adopted by the Town Council of the Town on April 2, 2013 (the "Ordinance"), authorizing the issuance of the Certificates and containing other matters, (2) the Preliminary Official Statement for the Certificates, dated March 25, 2013, and (3) the Official Statement for the Certificates, dated April 2, 2013. Based on (1) our review of the documents described above, (2) our discussions with bond counsel and with you, (3) our review of the documents, certificates, opinions and other instruments delivered at the closing of the sale of the Certificates on the date hereof and (4) such other matters as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the Certificates are exempt securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), and it is not necessary, in connection with the offering and sale of the Certificates, to register the Certificates under the 1933 Act and the Ordinance is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. In addition, based upon our participation in the preparation of the Official Statement and our participation at conferences at which the Official Statement was discussed, which does not include our independent inquiry or investigation into the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained therein, no facts have come to our attention to lead us to believe that the Official Statement (except for any financial, forecast, technical and statistical statements and data included in the Official Statement and the information regarding The Depository Trust Company and its book -entry system, in each case as to which no view need be expressed), as of its date or as of the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omitted or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given in the ordinance of the Issuer authorizing the issuance and sale of the Certificates of Obligation (the "Ordinance"). WE HAVE EXAMINED the applicable and pertinent provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, a transcript of certified proceedings of the Issuer, and other pertinent instruments authorizing and relating to the issuance of the Certificates of Obligation, including one of the executed Certificates of Obligation (Certificate of Obligation Number T-1). BASED ON SAID EXAMINATION, IT IS OUR OPINION that the Certificates of Obligation have been duly authorized, issued, and delivered in accordance with law, and that the Certificates of Obligation, except as may be limited by laws applicable to the Issuer relating to governmental immunity, bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar matters affecting creditors'rights generally or by general principles of equity whichpermit the exercise of judicial discretion, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer; and that ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of said Certificates of Obligation have been levied and pledged for such purpose, within the limit prescribed by law, and that the Certificates of Obligation are additionally secured by and payable from limited surplus revenues of the Issuer's waterworks and sewer system, remaining after payment of all operation and maintenance expenses thereof, and all debt service, reserve, and other requirements in connection with all of the Issuer's revenue bonds or other obligations (now or hereafter outstanding), which are payable from all or any part of the Net Revenues of the Issuer's waterworks and sewer system. IT IS FURTHER OUR OPINION, except as discussed below, that the interest on the Certificates of Obligation is excludable from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes under the statutes, regulations, published rulings, and court decisions existing on the date of this opinion. We are further of the opinion that the Certificates of Obligation are not "specified private activity bonds" and that, accordingly, interest on the Certificates of Obligation will not be included as an individual or corporate alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). In expressing the aforementioned opinions, we have relied on, certain representations, the accuracy of which we have not independently verified, and assume compliance with certain covenants, regarding the use and investment of the proceeds of the Certificates of Obligation and the use of the property financed therewith. We call your attention to the fact that if such representations are determined to be inaccurate or upon a failure by the Issuer to comply with such covenants, interest on the Certificates of Obligation may become includable in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Certificates of Obligation. EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, we express no opinion as to any other federal, state, or local tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning, or disposing of the Certificates of Obligation. WE CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FACT that the interest on tax-exempt obligations, such as the Certificates of Obligation, is included in a corporation's alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of determining the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. WE EXPRESS NO OPINION as to any insurance policies issued with respect to the payments due for the principal of and interest on the Certificates of Obligation, nor as to any such insurance policies issued in the future. OUR OPINIONS ARE BASED ON EXISTING LAW, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"); rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that we deem relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to determine compliance with rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Certificates of Obligation. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published procedures the Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer. We observe that the Issuer has covenanted not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, may result in the treatment of interest on the Certificates of Obligation as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. OUR SOLE ENGAGEMENT in connection with the issuance of the Certificates of Obligation is as Bond Counsel for the Issuer, and, in that capacity, we have been engaged by the Issuer for the sole purpose of rendering our opinions with respect to the legality and validity of the Certificates of Obligation under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and with respect to the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Certificates of Obligation for federal income tax purposes, and for no other reason or purpose. The foregoing opinions represent our legal judgment based upon a review of existing legal authorities that we deem relevant to render such opinions and are not a guarantee of a result. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not independently investigated or verified, any records, data, or other material relating to the financial condition or capabilities of the Issuer, or the disclosure thereof in connection with the sale of the Certificates of Obligation, and have not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto. We express no opinion and make no comment with respect to the marketability of the Certificates of Obligation and have relied solely on certificates executed by officials of the Issuer as to the current outstanding indebtedness of, and assessed valuation of taxable property within, and the sufficiency of the pledged revenues of, the Issuer.
