In the event that the entity at any time acting as Paying Agent/Registrar(or its successor by merger,acquisition,or other method)should resign or otherwise cease to act as such, the Issuer covenants that promptly it will appoint a competent and legally qualified bank, trust company,financial institution,or other agency to act as Paying Agent/Registrar under this Ordinance. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the previous Paying Agent/Registrar promptly shall transfer and deliver the Registration Books (or a copy thereof), along with all other pertinent books and records relating to the Certificates, to the new Paying Agent/Registrar designated and appointed by the Issuer.

The Certificates issued in exchange for the Certificate initially issued to the Purchaser specified herein shall be initially issued in the form of a separate single fully registered Certificate for each of the maturities thereof. Upon initial issuance,the ownership of each such Certificate shall be registered in the name of Cede& Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), and except as provided in subsection (f) hereof, all of the outstanding Certificates shall be registered in the name of Cede&Co.,as nominee of DTC.With respect to Certificates 4 registered in the name of Cede&Co.,as nominee of DTC,the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any securities brokers and dealers,banks,trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations on whose behalf DTC was created("DTC Participant")to hold securities to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among DTC Participants or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC Participant holds an interest in the Certificates.

The Paying Agent/Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on the Certificates only to or upon the order of the Registered Owners, as shown in the Registration Books as provided in this Ordinance, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to payment of principal of and interest on the Certificates to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

(h) Successor Securities Depository;Transfers Outside Book-Entry OnlySystem. In the event that the Issuer determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the representations letter of the Issuer to DTC or that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the Certificates that they be able to obtain certificated Certificates, the Issuer shall (i) appoint a successor securities depository, qualified to act as such under Section 17A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, notify DTC and DTC Participants of the appointment of such successor securities depository and transfer one or more separate Certificates to such successor securities depository or (ii) notify DTC and DTC Participants of the availability through DTC of Certificates and transfer one or more separate certificated Certificates to DTC Participants having Certificates credited to their DTC accounts. In such event,the Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Registration Books in the name of Cede&Co.,as nominee of DTC,but may be registered in the name of the successor securities depository, or its nominee, or in whatever name or names Registered Owners transferring or exchanging Certificates shall designate,in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance. (i) Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any Certificate is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of and interest on such Certificate and all notices with respect to such Certificate shall be made and given,respectively,in the manner provided in the representations letter of the Issuer to DTC. 0) Cancellation of Initial Certificate.

Upon payment for the initial Certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cancel the initial Certificate and deliver to the Depository Trust Company on behalf of such purchaser one registered definitive Certificate for each year of maturity of the Certificates,in the aggregate principal amount of all of the Certificates for such maturity. (k) Conditional Notice of Redemption. With respect to any optional redemption of the Certificates,unless certain prerequisites to such redemption required by this Ordinance have been met and money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium,if any,and interest 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 may 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 such Certificates have not been redeemed. Section 4. FORM OF CERTIFICATES. The form of the Certificates,including the form of Paying Agent/Registrar's Authentication Certificate, the form of Assignment and the form of Registration Certificate of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas to be attached to the Certificates initially issued and delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, shall be substantially in the form provided in Exhibit A, with such appropriate variations, omissions or insertions as are permitted or required by this Ordinance. Section 5. INTEREST AND SINKING FUND; SURPLUS REVENUES. (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 a limited pledge of$1,000 of the 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 6 revenue 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, constituting "Surplus Revenues". The Issuer shall deposit such Surplus Revenues to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund created pursuant to this Section,to the extent necessary to pay the principal and interest on the Certificates. 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 and the pledge of the taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the Issuer under this Section and Section 9,respectively,and is therefore valid,effective,and perfected. Should Texas law be amended at any time while the Certificates 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 9,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 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 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 or the pledge of Surplus Revenues 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 7 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. Section 7. DAMAGED,MUTILATED,LOST, STOLEN,OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. (a) Replacement Certificates.

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 Project. The Issuer covenants that the Project will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the Issuer of cash or other compensation, unless any action taken in connection with such disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Certificates. For purpose of the foregoing,the Issuer may rely on an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that the action taken in connection with 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.

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 August 15,2017,until maturity or prior redemption. 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");provided,however,that 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." . 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 business 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. 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 Oficial Statement. The Issuer believes the source of such information to be reliable, but takes no responsibilityfor 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 Oficial 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 turn 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. 3 Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Certificates within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (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$1,000 of the net 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(the"Revenues").

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 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, 2027, in whole or in part in principal amounts of$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, on February 15, 2026,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 indicated in the following schedule(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: Term Certificates Due February 15,20 Term Certificates Due February 15,20_ Redemption Date Amount Redemption Date Amount The particular Term Certificates to be redeemed shall be chosen by the Paying Agent/Registrar at random by lot or other customary method; provided, however, that the principal amount of Term Certificates of a stated maturity required to be redeemed on any mandatory redemption date pursuant to the operation of the mandatory sinking fund redemption provisions shall be reduced,at the option of the Issuer,by the principal amount of any Term Certificates of the same maturity which, at least 45 days prior to a mandatory redemption date(1) shall have been acquired by the Issuer at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such Term Certificates plus accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation, (2) shall have been purchased and canceled by the Paying Agent/Registrar at the request of the Issuer at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such Term Certificates plus accrued interest to the date of purchase,or(3)shall have been redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption provisions and not theretofore credited against a mandatory redemption requirement. 5 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 may 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 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. 6 Transfer and Exchange In the event the Book-Entry-Only System shall be discontinued with respect to the Certificates, such Certificates will be printed and delivered to the registered owners thereof,and thereafter the 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. 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 7 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, and thereafter the Town will have no further responsibility with respect to amounts available to such paying agent (or other financial institution permitted by applicable law) for the payment of such defeased Certificates, including any insufficiency therein caused by the failure of such paying agent (or other financial institution permitted by applicable law) to receive payment when due on the Defeasance Securities. 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, on the date the governing body of the Town adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the financial arrangements, 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, on the date the governing body of the Town adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the financial arrangements,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 8 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 principlesand 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 Alexia, 197 S.W.P 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 Cede & Co., as DTC's nominee. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES - Book-Entry-Only System" herein for a description of the duties of DTC with regard to ownership of Certificates.

(1)Of the top ten taxpayers, the valuations of three are related to commercial real estate,representing approximately 24%of the Issuer's total tax base. The valuations of such property may fluctuate substantially from year to year.A downturn in the commercial real estate market could adversely affect the Issuer's tax base. Estimated Overlapping Debt As in the case of the Issuer,various taxing units within the Issuer's boundaries may incur debts that are paid from ad valorem taxes levied by such taxing units on taxable properties within the Issuer's boundaries. Such taxing units are separate legal entities and independent of the Issuer. The information in this table shows direct and estimated overlapping ad valorem tax debt and is based on information obtained from the individual taxing units or from the Texas Municipal Reports published by the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas.

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 Appraisal 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 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 15 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 l 1 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 I 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, 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. 16 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 Property 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 I 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. Collection of Delinquent Taxes. Taxes levied by each taxing unit are a personal obligation of the owner of the property. On January I 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 17 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.

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 OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel will rely upon (a) certain information and representations of the Issuer, including information and representations contained in the District's federal tax certificate,and(b)covenants of the District contained in the Certificate documents relating to certain matters, including arbitrage and the use of the proceeds of the Certificates and the property financed therewith(the"Project.Failure by the District 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 District with such requirements, and Bond Counsel has not been retained to monitor compliance with these requirements subsequent to the issuance of the Certificates. 25 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 District with respect to the Certificates or the property financed or refinanced with proceeds of the Certificates. 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 Internal Revenue Service audit is commenced,under current procedures the Internal Revenue Service is likely to treat the District 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 Tax 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 Certificate,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 26 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 Tax 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,property and casualty insurance companies,life insurance companies,individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits,individuals allowed an earned income credit,certain S 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. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Subject to certain exceptions, information reports describing interest income, including original issue discount, with respect to the Certificates will be sent to each registered holder and to the IRS. Payments of interest and principal may be subject to backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code if a recipient of the payments fails to furnish to the payor such owner's social security number or other taxpayer identification number ("TIN"), furnishes an incorrect TIN, or otherwise fails to establish an exemption from the backup withholding tax. Any amounts so withheld would be allowed as a credit against the recipient's federal income tax. Special rules apply to partnerships, estates and trusts,and in certain circumstances,and in respect of Non-U.S.Holders,certifications as to foreign status and other matters may be required to be provided by partners and beneficiaries thereof. 27 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 District will designate the Certificates as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of section 265(b) of the Code. In furtherance of that designation, the District will covenant to take such action 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 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 Certificates under Federal or state law and could affect the market price or marketability of the Certificates.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 Certificates should consult their own tax advisors regarding the foregoing matters. RATING The Certificates have been rated"AAA"(stable outlook)by S&P Global Ratings("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 In the opinion of Issuer officials,the Issuer is not a party to any litigation or other proceeding pending or to their knowledge threatened, in any court, agency or other administrative body (either state or federal)which, if decided adversely to the Issuer,would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Issuer. At the time of the initial delivery of the Certificates,the Issuer will provide the Initial Purchaser with a certificate to the effect that except as disclosed in the Official Statement, no litigation of any nature has been filed or is then 28 pending challenging the issuance of the Certificates or that affects the payment and security of the Certificates or in any other manner questioning the issuance,sale or delivery of the Certificates. Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas Section 1201.041 of the Public Securities Procedures Act (Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code, as amended) provides that the Certificates are negotiable instruments, investment securities 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 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, as amended, requires that the Certificates be assigned a rating of not less than "A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency. See "RATING" 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. The Issuer has made no investigation of other laws, rules, regulations or investment criteria which might apply to such institutions or entities or which might limit the suitability of the Certificates for any of the foregoing purposes or limit the authority of such institutions or entities to purchase or invest in the Certificates for such purposes. The Issuer has made no review of laws in other states to determine whether the Certificates are legal investments for various institutions in those states.

Registration and Qualification of Certificates for Sale The sale of the Certificates has not been registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933,as amended,in reliance upon the exemption provided thereunder by Section 3(a)(2); and the Certificates have not been qualified under the Securities Act of Texas in reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Certificates been qualified under the securities acts of any jurisdiction. 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 disclaimer of responsibility for qualification for sale or other disposition of the Certificates shall not be construed as an interpretation of any kind with regard to the availability of any exemption from securities registration provisions. 29 Sale of the Certificates After requesting competitive bids for the Certificates, the Town has accepted a bid tendered by (the "Initial Purchaser")to purchase the Certificates at the rates shown on page i of this Official Statement at a price of$ . No assurance can be given that any trading market will be developed for the Certificates after their initial sale by the Town.

TOWN OF WESTLAKE,TEXAS COMBINATION TAX AND REVENUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION,SERIES 2016 IN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF$ AS BOND COUNSEL FOR THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE,TEXAS (the"Issuer") in connection with the issuance of the Issuer's Combination Tax and Limited Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2016, described above (the "Certificates of Obligation"), we have examined into the legality and validity of the Certificates of Obligation,which bear interest from the date and mature on the dates,and are subject to redemption,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 govermental 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 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,as provided in the Ordinance. 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,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. 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 as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. OUR SOLE ENGAGEMENT in connection with the issuance of the Certificates 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 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 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.

Capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings assigned to such terms in the Certificate Ordinance(the"Ordinance"). There follows in this Official Statement descriptions of the plan of financing, the Certificates and certain information about the Issuer and its finances. All descriptions of documents contained herein are only summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to each such document. Copies of such documents may be obtained from the Issuer.

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 $ 9,180,000.00 Original Issue Premium 246,750.40 Total Sources $ 9,426,750.40 Uses of Funds Deposit to Construction Fund $ 9,200,000.00 Underwriting Discount 142,314.33 Issuance Costs 81,113.55 Estimated Rounding Amount 3,322.52 Total Uses $ 9,426,750.40 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES General The Certificates are dated December 1,2016. 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 August 15,2017,until maturity or prior redemption. 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");provided,however,that 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." . 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 business 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. 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 Oficial 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 Oficial 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 turn 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. 3 Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Certificates within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (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$1,000 of the net 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(the"Revenues").

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 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, 2027, in whole or in part in principal amounts of$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, on February 15, 2026, 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 indicated in the following schedule(the"Terns 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: Term Certificate Maturity February 15,2037 Term Certificate Maturity February 15,2040 Term Certificate Maturity February 15,2042 Redemption Date Amount Redemption Date Amount Redemption Date Amount 2/15/2026 $250,000 2/15/2039 $375,000 2/15/2041 $410,000 2/15/2027 260,000 2/15/2040(maturity) 390,000 2/15/2042(maturity) 425,000 2/15/2028 265,000 2/15/2029 275,000 Term Certificate Maturity February 15,2044 Term Certificate Maturity February 15,2046 2/15/2030 285,000 Redemption Date Amount Redemption Date Amount 2/15/2031 290,000 2/15/2043 $440,000 2/15/2045 $480,000 2/15/2032 300,000 2/15/2044(maturity) 460,000 2/15/2046(maturity) 500,000 2/15/2033 310,000 2/15/2034 320,000 2/15/2035 330,000 2/15/2036 340,000 2/15/2037(maturity) 350,000 The particular Term Certificates to be redeemed shall be chosen by the Paying Agent/Registrar at random by lot or other customary method; provided, however, that the principal amount of Term Certificates of a stated maturity required to be redeemed on any mandatory redemption date pursuant to the operation of the mandatory sinking fund redemption provisions shall be reduced,at the option of the Issuer,by the principal amount of any Term Certificates 5 of the same maturity which, at least 45 days prior to a mandatory redemption date(1) shall have been acquired by the Issuer at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such Term Certificates plus accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation, (2) shall have been purchased and canceled by the Paying Agent/Registrar at the request of the Issuer at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such Term Certificates plus accrued interest to the date of purchase,or(3)shall have been redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption provisions and not theretofore credited against a mandatory redemption requirement. 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 may 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 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 6 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 will be printed and delivered to the registered owners thereof,and thereafter the 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. 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 7 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 , and thereafter the Town will have no further responsibility with respect to amounts available to such paying agent (or other financial institution permitted by applicable law) for the payment of such defeased Certificates, including any insufficiency therein caused by the failure of such paying agent (or other financial institution permitted by applicable law) to receive payment when due on the Defeasance Securities. 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, on the date the governing body of the Town adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the financial arrangements, 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, on the date the governing body of the Town adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the financial arrangements,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. 8 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 and 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 Alexia, 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 Cede & Co., as DTC's nominee. 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. Table 7-Other Obligations As of September 30,2015,the Issuer had certain other proprietary,contractual,special revenue and lease obligations payable from and secured by sources other than ad valorem taxes as described more fully in the Issuer's audited financial statements under Note 5 beginning on page 53 of the audited financial statements attached hereto as APPENDIX B.

(2) The Estimated Ad Valorem Tax Rate is the rate that would be required to be levied to pay debt service assuming no other source of payment,and further assuming a 100%collection ratio applied to the Issuer's current Taxable Assessed Valuation. 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 Appraisal 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 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 15 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 Properly 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 I-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, 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. 16 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 Property 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. 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 17 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.

Table 12-Status of Current Investments As of August 31, 2016,the Issuer's investment portfolio, including its General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Utility Fund, and other miscellaneous governmental, proprietary and component unit funds, was invested as follows (with no material difference between book and market values): Westlake Investment Description Issuer Academy 1) Total Bank Accounts(cash and cash equivalents) $ 15,626,265 $ 1,041,688 $ 16,667,953 TexPool 250 100 350 Total $ 15,626,515 $ 1,041,788 $ 16,668,303 Source: The Issuer's monthly statements and financial records;unaudited.See Comprehensive Annual Financial Report(Note 2), included herewith as APPENDIX B,for more investment information. (1)Represents investments of the Westlake Academy, a component unit of the Issuer, the balances and transactions of which are blended with the balances and transactions of the Issuer. Investments of other component units of the Issuer may also be blended with the Issuer or alternatively may be excluded and "discretely presented" See Note 1 to the Issuer's audited financial statements, beginning on page 33, included in its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report included herewith as APPENDIX B for more information regarding component units. 24 LEGAL MATTERS The Town will furnish to the Initial Purchaser a complete transcript of proceedings had incident to the authorization and issuance of the Certificates, including the unqualified approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas approving the Certificates and to the effect that the Certificates are valid and legally binding obligations of the Town,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.The customary closing papers, including a certificate to the effect that no litigation of any nature has been filed or is then pending to restrain the issuance and delivery of the Certificates, or which would affect the provision made for their payment or security, or in any manner questioning the validity of the Certificates will also be furnished.Though it may represent the Financial Advisor and purchasers of bonds, such as the Initial Purchaser from time to time in matters unrelated to the issuance of the Certificates, Bond Counsel has been engaged by and only represents the Town in the issuance of the Certificates. Bond Counsel was not requested to participate, and did not take part, in the preparation of the Notice of Sale and Bidding Instructions, the Official Bid Form and the Official Statement, and such firm has not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto or undertaken independently to verify any of the information contained herein, except that, in its capacity as Bond Counsel, such firm has reviewed the information describing the Certificates in the Official Statement to verify that such description conforms to the provisions of the Ordinance. The legal fee to be paid Bond Counsel for services rendered in connection with the issuance of the Certificates is contingent on the 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 OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel will rely upon (a) certain information and representations of the Issuer, including information and representations contained in the District's federal tax certificate, and(b)covenants of the District contained in the Certificate documents relating to certain matters, including arbitrage and the use of the proceeds of the Certificates and the property financed therewith. Failure by the District 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 District with such requirements, and Bond Counsel has not been retained to monitor compliance with these requirements subsequent to the issuance of the Certificates. 25 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 District with respect to the Certificates or the property financed or refinanced with proceeds of the Certificates. 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 Internal Revenue Service audit is commenced,under current procedures the Internal Revenue Service is likely to treat the District 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 Tax 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 Certificate,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 26 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 Tax 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,property and casualty insurance companies,life insurance companies,individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits,individuals allowed an earned income credit,certain S 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. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Subject to certain exceptions, information reports describing interest income, including original issue discount, with respect to the Certificates will be sent to each registered holder and to the IRS. Payments of interest and principal may be subject to backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code if a recipient of the payments fails to furnish to the payor such owner's social security number or other taxpayer identification number ("TIN"), furnishes an incorrect TIN, or otherwise fails to establish an exemption from the backup withholding tax. Any amounts so withheld would be allowed as a credit against the recipient's federal income tax. Special rules apply to partnerships, estates and trusts,and in certain circumstances,and in respect of Non-U.S.Holders,certifications as to foreign status and other matters may be required to be provided by partners and beneficiaries thereof. 27 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 District 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 District 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 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 Certificates under Federal or state law and could affect the market price or marketability of the Certificates.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 Certificates should consult their own tax advisors regarding the foregoing matters. RATING The Certificates have been rated"AAA"(stable outlook)by S&P Global Ratings("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 In the opinion of Issuer officials,the Issuer is not a party to any litigation or other proceeding pending or to their knowledge threatened, in any court, agency or other administrative body (either state or federal) which, if decided adversely to the Issuer,would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Issuer. At the time of the initial delivery of the Certificates,the Issuer will provide the Initial Purchaser with a certificate to the effect that except as disclosed in the Oficial Statement, no litigation of any nature has been filed or is then 28 pending challenging the issuance of the Certificates or that affects the payment and security of the Certificates or in any other manner questioning the issuance,sale or delivery of the Certificates. Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas Section 1201.041 of the Public Securities Procedures Act (Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code, as amended) provides that the Certificates are negotiable instruments, investment securities 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 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, as amended, requires that the Certificates be assigned a rating of not less than "A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency. See "RATING" 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. The Issuer has made no investigation of other laws, rules, regulations or investment criteria which might apply to such institutions or entities or which might limit the suitability of the Certificates for any of the foregoing purposes or limit the authority of such institutions or entities to purchase or invest in the Certificates for such purposes. The Issuer has made no review of laws in other states to determine whether the Certificates are legal investments for various institutions in those states. Financial Advisor Lawrence Financial Consulting LLC is retained as Financial Advisor to the Issuer to assist in the issuance of the Certificates. In this capacity, the Financial Advisor has compiled certain data relating to the Certificates that is contained in this Official Statement.The Financial Advisor has not independently verified any of the data contained herein or conducted a detailed investigation of the affairs of the Issuer to determine the accuracy or completeness of this Official Statement.Because of its limited participation,the Financial Advisor assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of the information contained herein. The fee of the Financial Advisor for services with respect to the Certificates is contingent upon the issuance and sale of the Certificates. The Financial Advisor has provided the following sentence for inclusion in this Official Statement. The Financial Advisor has reviewed the information in this Official Statement in accordance with, and as part of, its responsibilities to the Issuer and, as applicable,to investors under the federal securities laws as applied to the facts and circumstances of this transaction,but the Financial Advisor does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. Annual Financial Report The Issuer's Annual Financial Report, including its audited basic financial statements and related footnotes,for the year ended September 30,2015,is included as APPENDIX B to this Official Statement. Registration and Qualification of Certificates for Sale The sale of the Certificates has not been registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933,as amended,in reliance upon the exemption provided thereunder by Section 3(a)(2); and the Certificates have not been qualified under the Securities Act of Texas in reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Certificates been qualified under the securities acts of any jurisdiction. 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 disclaimer of responsibility for qualification for sale or other disposition of the Certificates shall not be construed as an interpretation of any kind with regard to the availability of any exemption from securities registration provisions. 29 Sale of the Certificates After requesting competitive bids for the Certificates, the Town has accepted a bid tendered by FTN Financial Capital Markets (the"Initial Purchaser")to purchase the Certificates at the rates shown on page i of this Official Statement for the purchase price of$9,284,436.07 (representing the principal amount of the Certificates, plus an aggregate reoffering premium of$246,750.40, less an underwriter's discount of$142,314.33). No assurance can be given that any trading market will be developed for the Certificates after their initial sale by the Town.The Town has no control over the prices at which the Certificates will initially be reoffered to the public. Continuing Disclosure of Information In the Ordinance,the Issuer has made the following agreement for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of the Certificates. The Issuer is required to observe the agreement for so long as it remains an"obligated person" with respect to the Certificates,within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 15c2-12(the "Rule").

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 govermental 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 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,as provided in the Ordinance. 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").

The undersigned is the Mayor of the Town of Westlake,Texas(the"Issuer"). 1.2.

The undersigned is an officer of the Issuer delegated with the responsibility of issuing and delivering the Obligations. 1.5.

The Purpose of the Obligations and Useful Lives of Proiects. 2.1. 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 acquiring,constructing,installing and equipping fire-fighting facilities(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 C:\Users\csettle\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.OUtlook\B2M284NI\Westlake(Town of)-New$-CSST- fedtaxcert-v2.doc 12/14/2016 10:20 AM 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. In no event will the proceeds of the Obligations or facilities financed therewith be used for private business use in an amount greater than$15 million. 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 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 Sinkin 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 2 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. Any Project cost not paid with proceeds of the Obligations will be paid by contribution of the Issuer from sources other than proceed of bonds the interest on which is tax exempt. As such,these amounts will serve to supplement and not replace the amounts received from the proceeds of the Obligations. 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. 3 7.2. The Issuer(including any of its related entities)has not issued nor does it expect to issue any other tax-exempt obligations during the current calendar year,including certain lease purchase agreements in amounts not greater than$483,000,which when aggregated with the Obligations would exceed$10,000,000, within the meaning of section 265(b)of the Code. 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.

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 s 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. Under the 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 4/1/1994 5,000,000 6/1/1994 14,000,000 9/1/1994 20,000,000 7/1/1995 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) FY(7.0000 percent) 01/1/1994 ($49,000,000) ($69,119,339) 02/1/1994 3,000,000 4,207,602 04/1/1994 5,000,000 6,932,715 06/1/1994 14,000,000 19,190,277 09/1/1994 20,000,000 26,947,162 01/1/1995 (1,000) (1,317) 07/1/1995 10,000,000 12,722,793 01/1/1996 (1,000) (1.229) Rebate amount(01/01/1999) $878,664" General Method for Computing Yield on Bonds 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 McCALL PARKHURST & HORTON 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 forfixed-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 mannersimilarto 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,can not readily deal. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES ISSUERS AREADVISED TO CONSULT WCALL PARKHURST & NORTON 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 orderto 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 issuerwould 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 forworking capital;only capital costs,grants and loans may be 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 thatthe 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 2 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. I. 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 issuerfrom 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. II. 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 other than governmental units,and other than 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" (Le, 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 no event should private business use exceed$15,000,000. 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. IV. What is the reasonable expectations standard? McCall, Parkhurst&Horton L.L.P. - Page 3 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. Change 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. Disclosure Under IRS Circular 230: McCall Parkhurst&Horton LLP informs you that any tax advice contained in this memorandum, including any attachments, was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used,for the purpose of avoiding federal tax related penalties or promoting,marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein.

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 2 l(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, among other tax rules, the yield restriction rules as applied to amounts deposited to the interest and sinking fund. 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.

The CUSIP Number for the Obligations is stated on the Form 8038-G filed in connection with the Obligations. The Issuer intends to take action to comply with the two-year temporary investments exception to rebate afforded construction bonds under section 148(f)(4)(C)of the Code or any of the other exceptions available to the Issuer in accordance with section 1.148-7 of the Treasury Regulations. Capitalized terms have the same meaning as defined in the Federal Tax Certificate. ® 1. PENALTY ELECTION. In the event that the Issuer should fail to expend the"available construction proceeds"of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of section 148(0(4)(C)of the Code,the Issuer elects,in lieu of rebate,the penalty provisions of section 148(f)(4)(C)(vii)(I)of the Code. ® 2.

The Issuer elects to exclude from "available construction proceeds,"within the meaning of section 148(f)(4)(C)(vi)of the Code,of the Obligations, earnings on the Reserve Fund in accordance with section 148(f)(4)(C)(vi)(IV)of the Code. ® 3. MULTIPURPOSE ELECTION. The Issuer elects to treat that portion ofthe Obligations the proceeds of which are to be used for the payment of expenditures for construction,reconstruction or rehabilitation of the Projects, as defined in the instrument authorizing the issuance of the Obligations,in an amount which is currently expected to be equal to$ as a separate issue in accordance with the provisions of section 148(f)(4)(C)(v)(II)of the Code.(Note.This election is not necessary unless less than 75 percent of the proceeds of the Obligations will be used for construction,reconstruction or renovation.) ® 4. ACTUAL FACTS. For purposes of determining compliance with section 148(f)(4)(c)of the Code(other than qualification of the Obligations as a qualified construction issue),the Issuer elects to use actual facts rather than reasonable expectations. M5. 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 Obligations for eligibility forthe 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 Obligations. Accordingly, while failure to execute this certifrcate and to designate the intended election does not preclude auaUlkation,it would preclude the Issuer front the relief afforded by such election.

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 tile 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 govermental immunity, bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar matters affecting creditors'rights generally or by general principles of equity which permitthe 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 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, as provided in the Ordinance. 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,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. 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 as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. OUR SOLE ENGAGEMENT in connection with the issuance of the Certificates 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 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 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,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 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. Our role in connection with the Issuer's Official Statement prepared for use in connection with the sale of the Certificates has been limited as described therein.

Rationale S&P Global Ratings raised its long-term and underlying ratings on Westlake,Texas'general obligation(GO)bonds to 'AAA'from We base the higher rating on the city's expanding economy and extremely high per capita incomes, and consistent financial performance,as demonstrated by management's ability to maintain very strong reserves above 75%of expenditures. At the same time,we assigned our'AAA'long-term rating to the city's series 2016 combination tax and revenue certificates of obligation.The outlook on all ratings is stable. Westlake's GO bonds are eligible to be rated above the sovereign because we believe the city can maintain better credit characteristics than the nation in a stress scenario.Under our criteria,titled"Ratings Above The Sovereign: Corporate And Government Ratings--Methodology And Assumptions,"published Nov. 19, 2013 on RatingsDirect,the city has predominantly locally derived revenue from property and sales taxes with independent taxing authority and independent treasury management from the federal government. The series 2016 certificates are secured by a limited ad valorem tax levied on all taxable property within the city.The maximum allowable rate in the state of Texas is$2.50 per$100 of assessed value(AV)for all purposes,with the portion dedicated to debt service limited to$1.50.The city's levy is well below the maximum,at 13.7 cents,0.813 cents of which is dedicated to debt service.The certificates are additionally secured by a limited pledge of surplus revenues(not to exceed$1,000)from the city's waterworks and sewer utility system.We rate the bonds under our GO criteria because we do not differentiate between the city's limited-and unlimited-tax pledges due to its tax rate flexibility,very strong liquidity,and high investment-grade debt.Proceeds will be used to finance public safety related capital projects. The ratings reflect our assessment of the city's: WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT NOVEMBER 18,2016 2 17 11 i',1,9 5 ; 30!902(1F Summary: Westlake, Texas; General Obligation • Very strong economy,with access to a broad and diverse metropolitan statistical area(MSA),but a concentrated local tax base; • Strong management,with"good"financial policies and practices under our Financial Management Assessment methodology; • Strong budgetary performance,with operating surpluses in the general fund and at the total governmental fund level in fiscal 2015; • Very strong budgetary flexibility,with a high available fund balance in fiscal 2015 of 100%of operating expenditures; • Very strong liquidity,with total government available cash at 81.7%of total governmental fund expenditures and 7.4x governmental debt service,and access to external liquidity that we consider strong; • Weak debt and contingent liability position,with debt service carrying charges at 11%of expenditures and net direct debt that is 99%of total governmental fund revenue;and • Strong institutional framework score. Very strong economy We consider Westlake's economy very strong.The city,with an estimated population of 1,200,is located in Denton and Tarrant counties in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington MSA,which we consider to be broad and diverse.The city has a projected per capita effective buying income of 227%of the national level,which we view as extremely high and a positive credit factor and per capita market value of$920,897. Overall,the city's market value grew by 16.7%over the past year to$1.1 billion in 2017.Constraining Westlake's economy is a concentrated local tax base,with the 10 largest taxpayers accounting for 38.8%of the total tax base.The weight-averaged unemployment rate of the counties was 4.2%in 2015. Serving a population of roughly 1,200 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 city's tax base,while predominantly residential,also has a significant commercial base as well,making up approximately 55%,and 39%of 2017 assessed value(AV),respectively According to representatives,the average home value is$1.2 million.Single family and mixed-use development construction continues to support tax base growth,including a new estate home development of 92 sites ranging in home value from$2 million to$5 million.The city's commercial presence includes major employers and taxpayers such as Deloitte University,an international training facility for Deloitte; Fidelity;and the Solana complex.The Solana mixed-use complex contains several offices, eateries,and a hotel. Continued growth in each of these sectors has supported 25%cumulative AV growth over the past five years to$1.1 billion. City officials attribute residential demand to the city's favorable location as well as the opening of a local charter school,Westlake academy.Westlake's sizeable commercial presence attributes to its concentrated tax base. However,officials have no concerns with any of the city's leading taxpayers and employers. Additionally, continued economic expansion has resulted in improvement of tax base concentration from 41%in fiscal 2013 to 38%in fiscal 2017.We anticipate further planned residential and commercial construction to continue to support local tax base growth and further diversification over the next two years. WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT NOVEMBER 18,2016 3 :;>r9.19s 1 :.;0190.1:a Summary: Westlake, Texas; General Obligation Strong management We view the city's management as strong,with"good"financial policies and practices under our Financial Management Assessment methodology,indicating financial practices exist in most areas,but that governance officials might not formalize or monitor all of them on a regular basis. Highlights of the city's practices include its: • Revenue and expenditure assumptions based,in part,on five years of historical trends and estimates of the city's needs; • Quarterly budget reports to the city council on a year-to-date comparison of the budget and amendments performed as needed; • Formal investment policy that management reviews annually with quarterly reports on investment performance and holdings to the council; • Formal long-term financial plan and five-year forecast of revenue and expenditures across all funds; • Rolling five-year capital plan that identifies funding sources and uses;and • Formal minimum general fund balance policy of maintaining 90 days'operating expenditures in available fund balance. The city currently lacks a debt management policy. Strong budgetary performance Westlake's budgetary performance is strong in our opinion.The city had operating surpluses of 13.6%of expenditures in the general fund and of 4%across all governmental funds in fiscal 2015.Our assessment accounts for the fact that we expect budgetary results could deteriorate somewhat from 2015 results in the near term. After adjusting for recurring transfers and large one-time expenditures,general fund operational surpluses in each of the past three audited years support the city's very strong budgetary performance. Sales tax is the city's leading revenue source followed by property taxes,accounting for 45%and 16%of general fund revenue,respectively. Sales tax has grown 11.5%annually during the last three audited years.The city estimates the city will finish with another $452,000 or 1.2%surplus in the general fund in 2016.The city has conservatively budgeted for a total governmental fund deficit in fiscal 2017,which we believe could lead to structural deterioration from the city's previously very strong performance in 2015. However,the city operational performance has demonstrated the ability to exceed budgeted expectations,indicated by an$822,561 positive budgeted variance in 2015. Given the city's conservative budgetary practices in addition to stable growth in local revenues,we expect the city to maintain strong budgetary performance during the current and subsequent fiscal years. Very strong budgetary flexibility Westlake's budgetary flexibility is very strong,in our view,with a high available fund balance in fiscal 2015 of 100%of operating expenditures,or$7.4 million.We expect the available fund balance to remain above 75%of expenditures for the current and next fiscal years,which we view as a positive credit factor. Westlake currently maintains available fund balances of more than 75%of expenditures,which we believe to be exceptional. In fact,management has maintained available fund balances of more than 100%of expenditures in each of the past three audited fiscal years. Officials are projecting the fund balance ratio will remain more than 100%in WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT NOVEMBER 18,2016 4 175:9395 1 W 1902 11 H Surnnrary: Westlake, Texas; General Obligation fiscal years 2016. Based on projections,we do not expect the budgetary flexibility score to decrease below what we consider a very strong level.Flexibility is additionally supported by the city's formal fund balance policy equal to a minimum of 90 days of operating expenses. Very strong liquidity In our opinion,Westlake's liquidity is very strong,with total government available cash at 81.7%of total governmental fund expenditures and 7.4x governmental debt service in 2015. In our view,the city has strong access to external liquidity if necessary. Westlake has demonstrated strong access to capital markets with several GO-supported debt issues over the past 20 years.The city historically had what we consider very strong cash balances. Because the city has no significant plans to spend down reserves,we do not believe its cash position will likely weaken materially.The city's investments comply with state statutes.At fiscal year-end 2015, city investments held liquid maturities in TexPool and commercial paper,which we do not consider aggressive. Weak debt and contingent liability profile In our view,Westlake's debt and contingent liability profile is weak.Total governmental fund debt service is 11%of total governmental fund expenditures,and net direct debt is 99%of total governmental fund revenue.The city currently has no plans to issue additional debt over the next two years. Westlake's pension contributions totaled 1.9%of total governmental fund expenditures in 2015.The city made its full annual required pension contribution in 2015.Westlake provides pension benefits through the statewide Texas Municipal Retirement System.The city historically paid its annual pension cost in full.Using updated reporting standards in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board(GASB)Statement No. 67,the city's net pension liability was$707,597 as of Dec. 31, 2014.The plan was 83.7%funded based on its net position as a percent of the total pension liability. (For additional details on GASB Nos. 67 and 68,please see our report,titled"Incorporating GASB 67 And 68: Evaluating Pension/OPEB Obligations Under Standard&Poor's U.S. Local Government GO Criteria,"published Sept. 2, 2015,on RatingsDirect.)The city does not offer other postemployment benefits. Strong institutional framework The institutional framework score for Texas municipalities is strong. Outlook The stable outlook reflects our opinion that Westlake will likely continue to benefit from its location in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington MSA,allowing for continued tax-base growth and diversification.The outlook also reflects our expectation that the city will likely maintain its very strong budgetary flexibility and strong budgetary performance.We do not expect to change the rating during the two-year outlook period.Finally,the outlook also reflects our expectation that the city's debt and contingent liabilities profile will likely remain weak but that the city will likely prudently issue additional debt in a manner that will not significantly increase overall budgetary pressure related to debt service carrying charges.We could lower the rating if the city were to experience multiyear financial deterioration resulting in a material reduction of available reserves, coupled with an elevated debt profile,and weakening economic WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT NOVEMBER 18,2016 5 1759395 1 30190211r Summary: Westlake, Texas; General Obligation characteristics.

Westlake, TX GO Bond Rating Raised To 'AAA' On Expanding Economy, Stable Financial Performance Primary Credit Analyst: Alexander L Laufer,Dallas 214-765-5876;alexander.laufer@spglobal.com Secondary Contact: James Hobbs,Dallas(972)367-3345;James.Hobbs@spglobal.com DALLAS (S&P Global Ratings) Nov. 18, 2016--S&P Global Ratings raised its long-term and underlying ratings on Westlake, Texas' general obligation (GO) bonds to 'AAA, from 'AA+I . At the same time, S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'AAA' long-term rating to the city's series 2016 combination tax and revenue certificates of obligation. The outlook on all ratings is stable. "We base the higher rating on the city's expanding economy and extremely high per capita incomes, and consistent financial performance, as demonstrated by management's ability to maintain very strong reserves above 75% of expenditures, " said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Alexander Laufer. Westlake's GO bonds are eligible to be rated above the sovereign because S&P Global Ratings believes the city can maintain better credit characteristics than the nation in a stress scenario. Under the rating service's criteria "titled Ratings Above The Sovereign: Corporate And Government Ratings--Methodology And Assumptions, " published Nov. 19, 2013 on RatingsDirect, the city has predominantly locally derived revenue from property and sales taxes with independent taxing authority and independent treasury management from the federal government. The series 2016 certificates are secured by a limited ad valorem tax levied cn all taxable property within the city. The maximum allowable rate in the state of Texas is $2.50 per $100 of assessed value (AV) for all purposes, with the portion dedicated to debt service limited to $1.50. The city's levy is well below the maximum, at 13.7 cents, 0.813 cents of which is dedicated to debt service. The certificates are additionally secured by a limited pledge of surplus revenues (not to exceed $1,000) from the city's waterworks and sewer ViWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COrd/RATINGSDIRECT NOVEMBER 18,2016 1 Westlake, TX GO Bond Rating Raised To 'AAA' On Expanding Economy, Stable Financial Performance utility system. The rating service rates the bonds under its GO criteria because it do not differentiate between the city's limited- and unlimited-tax pledges due to its tax rate flexibility, very strong liquidity, and high investment-grade debt. Proceeds will be used to finance public safety related capital projects.
