2.04. Redemption of Bonds. The Authority
reserves the right to redeem, in whole or from time to time
in part, all of the Bonds on December 1, 1998, or any
interest payment date thereafter, by paying the principal
thereof and accrued interest thereon. The Authority shall,
at least 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Paying
Agent/Registrar), notify the Paying Agent/Registrar of such
date and, if less than all of the Bonds within any maturity
are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds within each
maturity to be redeemed. The registered owner of any Bond,
all or a portion of which has been called for redemption,
shall be required to present such Bond to the Paying
Agent/Registrar for payment of the principal of, and accrued
interest on, that portion of the Bond called for redemption;
provided, however, upon the surrender of any such Bond, the
Authority shall execute and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver to the registered owner thereof a
new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond
surrendered. Notice of redemption shall be given by mailing
a copy thereof by first, class mail, postage prepaid, at.
least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the
registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed in whole or in
part at the address of such owner on the Bond Register;
provided, however, that failure to give such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any Bond or portion
thereof with respect to which no such failure or defect has
occurred. Any notice mailed as provided in this Section
2.04 shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given,
whether or not the registered owner receives the notice.
Prior to the date fixed for redemption, the Authority shall
deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying
Agent/Registrar, funds sufficient to pay in full the
principal of all Bonds or portions thereof called for
redemption, together with accrued interest thereon to the
redemption date. Any Bond or Bonds duly called for redemp-
tion, due provision for the full payment of which has been
timely made, shall cease to bear interest from and after the
date fixed for redemption.
2.05. Transfers and Exchanges of the Bonds. The
Authority shall cause to be kept at the principal office of
the Paying Agent/Registrar a register (the "Bond Register")
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the
Authority and the Paying Agent/Registrar may prescribe,
registration of the Bonds and transfers of the Bonds shall
be made as provided herein. Upon surrender for transfer of
038DESAJ/024C02
-7-
e
e
any Bond at the principal office of the Paying
Agent/Registrar, the Authority shall execute and the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name
of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Bonds of the same maturity, of any authorized denominations,
bearing the same rate of interest and of a like aggregate
principal amount. At the option of the registered owner of
any Bond, it may be exchanged for other Bonds of the same
maturity, of any authorized denominations, bearing the same
rate of interest, and of like aggregate principal amount,
upon surrender of the Bond to be exchanged at the principal
office of the Paying Agent/Registrar. Whenever any Bond is
so surrendered for exchange, the Authority shall execute,
and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver, the Bonds which the registered owner of the Bond
making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Bonds
issued upon any transfer or exchange of any Bond shall be
the valid obligations of the Authority, evidencing the same
debt and entitled to the same benefits under this
Resolution, as the Bond surrendered upon such transfer or
exchange. Every Bond presented or surrendered for transfer
or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied' by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Paying Agent/Registrar duly executed, by the registered
owner thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made to the registered owner for
any registration, transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the
Authority or the Paying Agent/Registrar may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer
or exchange of Bonds. Neither the Authority nor the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall be required to transfer or exchange
any Bond during the period of 15 days next preceding any
interest payment date or to transfer or exchange any Bond
during the 30-day period prior to the date set for
redemption of such Bond.
2.06. Ownership of the Bonds. The Authority, the
Paying Agent/Registrar and any other person may treat the
individual, firm or corporation in whose name any Bond is
registered on the Bond Register as the absolute owner of
such Bond for the purpose of making and receiving payment of
the principal thereof and interest thereon and for all other
purposes, whether or not such Bond is overdue, and neither
the Authority nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be bound
by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. All payments
. made to any such person, firm or corporation deemed to be
the owner of any Bond in accordance with this Section 2.06
shall be valid and effectual and shall discharge the
038DESAJ/024C02
-8-
It
e
liability of the Authority and the Paying Agent/Registrar to
the extent of the sums paid.
2.07. Execution of the Bonds. The Bonds shall be

President of the Board under the seal of the Authority
attested by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the
Board. Each such signature may be manually executed or
placed in facsimile on the Bonds, and the Authority's seal
may be manually impressed, printed or otherwise placed on
the Bonds. Bonds receiving the manual or facsimile signa-
tures of individuals who were at the time the duly elected
or appointed officers of the Authority shall be binding upon
the Authority notwithstanding such individuals or any of
them shall cease to hold such offices prior to the certi-
fication, registration, authentication or delive~y of such
Bonds or shall not have held such office on the date of such
Bonds, all as provided in the Act and the Bond Procedures
Act of 1981, as amended. The Initial Bonds, each payable to
the Texas Water Development Board (the "Purchaser"), shall
be executed and submitted to the Attorney General of Texas
for approval, and thereupon certified by the Comptroller of
Public Accounts of the State of Texas by his manual signa-
ture or by the manual signature of one of his deputies
thereunto duly authorized. No Bond authorized by this
Resolution shall be entitled to any right or benefit here-
under, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas or his
duly authorized agent shall have executed a Registration
Certificate substantially in the form of the Registration
Certificate of Comptroller of Public Accounts set forth in
Section 3.02 hereof or the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have
executed a Certificate of Authentication substantially in
the form of the Certificate of Authentication of Paying
Agent/Registrar set forth in Section 3.03 hereof, and either
such executed certificate upon any Bond shall be conclusive
evidence that such Bond has been executed and delivered
pursuant to this Resolution.
2.08. Paying Agent/Registrar. The Authority
covenants at all times to maintain a Paying Agent/Registrar
for the Bonds meeting the qualifications herein set forth,
and, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section
2.08, hereby appoints First City National Bank of Houston,

President and Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Board
are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver an
agreement substantially in the form of such Agreement, with
such changes therein as the officers executing the same
shall, as evidenced by their signatures thereon, approve.
The Authority expressly reserves the right to appoint one or
more successor Paying Agent/Registrars by (1) filing with
the Paying Agent/Registrar then serving a certified copy of
a resolution or order giving notice of the termination of
the Authority's agreement with such Paying Agent/Registrar
and appointing a successor and (2) giving notice to all of
the registered owners of the Bonds and to the Municipal
Advisory Council of Texas or its successor. Every Paying
Agent/Registrar appointed hereunder shall at all times be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States of America or of any State, authorized
under such laws to exercise trust powers, and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority.
2.09. Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Wrongfully
Taken Bonds. If (1) any mutilated Bond is surrendered to
the Paying Agent/Registrar, or (2) the Authority and the
Paying Agent/Registrar receive evidence to their satisfac-
tion of the destruction, loss or theft of any Bond, and (a)
there is delivered to the Authority and the Paying Agent/
Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to save each of them harmless and (b) the Authority and
the Paying Agent/Registrar have no notice that such latter
Bond has been acquired by a bona-fide purchaser, then and in
either such event the Authority shall execute and upon its
request the Paying Agent/Registrar shall register and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the same
maturity and of like tenor, interest rate and principal
amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Section 2.09,
the Authority may require the payment by the registered
owner thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto
and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Paying Agent/Registrar) connected therewith. Every new
Bond issued pursuant to this Section 2.09 in lieu of any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall constitute a
replacement of the prior obligation of the Authority,
whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond
shall be at the time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Resolution equally and
ratably with all other outstanding Bonds.

Authority and the terms upon which the Bonds are, and are to
be, authenticated and delivered.
The Bonds do not constitute a legal or equitable
pledge, charge, lien or encumbrance upon any property or
assets of the Authority other than the Net Revenues and
other moneys and securities pledged under the Bond
Resolution. The owner hereof shall never have the right to
demand payment of this obligation from any other revenues or
properties of the Authority, or from any funds raised or to
be raised by taxation by the Authority, the City of La
Porte, Texas, the State of Texas or any subdivision of any
of them.
The Authority has reserved the right to redeem, in
whole or from time to time in part, all of the Bonds on
December 1, 1998, or any interest payment date thereafter,
by paying the principal thereof and accrued interest
thereon. If less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed,
the Authority shall designate the principal amount of Bonds
of each maturity to be redeemed and the particular Bonds
within each maturity in integral multiples of $5,000. At
least 30 days' prior notice of any such redemption shall be
given by mail as provided in the Bond Resolution. Any Bond
or Bonds duly called for redemption, due provision for the
full payment of which has been timely made, shall cease to
bear interest from and after the date fixed for redemption.
As provided in the Bond Resolution and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is
transferable on the Bond Register of the Authority, upon
surrender of this Bond for transfer at the principal office
of the Paying Agent/Registrar, duly endorsed, or accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Paying Agent/Registrar duly executed, by the registered
owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new fully registered Bonds of the same
maturity, of authorized denominations, bearing the same rate
of interest and for the same aggregate principal amount will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

not less than:
(1) the average annual principal of and
interest on the Bonds and any Additional Bonds at
the time outstanding (although amounts shall be

accordance with Section 7.03 and Section 7.04
hereof); and

now or hereafter required to be made into the Bond
Fund, the Reserve Fund, the Rebate Fund and the

for any other obligations or indebtedness, the Authority

Contracts, fix, maintain, charge and collect additional
038DESAJ/024C02
-18-
e
.
rates and charges for services rendered by the Authority
sufficient to establish and maintain funds for the payment
thereof.
Section 7. REVENUES AND FUNDS.
7.01. Creation of Funds. All Revenues shall be
kept separate and apart from all other funds of the
Authority, and the following special funds ("Fundsll) shall
be established and maintained in an official depository bank
or depository banks of the Authority so long as any of the
Bonds or any Additional Bonds, or interest thereon, are
outstanding and unpaid:
(a) La Porte Area Water Authority Revenue Fund
(the "Revenue Fund");
(b) La Porte Area Water Authority Bond Fund (the
IIBond Fundll);
(c) La Porte Area Water Authority Reserve Fund
(the IIReserve Fundll);
(d) La Porte Area Water Authority Rebate Fund
(the "Rebate Fundll);
(e) La Porte Area Water Authority Contingency
Fund (the "Contingency Fund"); and
(f) La Porte Area Water Authority Construction

7.02. Revenue Fund. All Revenues of every nature
received shall be deposited 'from day to day as collected
into the Revenue Fund, and all Operating and Maintenance
Expenses shall be paid from the Revenue Fund upon approval
by the Board. The Revenues not actually required to pay
Operating and Maintenance Expenses shall be deposited from
the Revenue Fund into the other Funds provided for by this
Resolution, in the manner and amounts hereinafter provided,
and each of such Funds shall have priority as to such
deposits in the order in which they are treated in the
following sections.
7.03. Bond Fund. There shall be deposited into
the Bond Fund:
(a) (i) On or before each interest payment
date occurring prior to the first sale of water to
038DESAJ/024C02
-19-
e
.
the Participants under the Water Sales Contracts
(the "Sale of Water"), an amount equal to such
interest payment due on the Bonds, (ii) on or
before the 25th day of each month occurring ,after
the Sale of Water but prior to the first interest
payment date to occur after the Sale of Water, an
amount which is not less than a fraction of the
next interest payment due on the Bonds, such
fraction to have a numerator of one and a denomi-
nator equal to the number of monthly deposits to
be made pursuant to this Section 7.03(a) (ii), and
(iii) on or before the 25th day of each month
thereafter, an amount which is not less than
one-sixth (1/6) of the next interest payment due
on the Bonds; and
(b) On or before the 25th day of December,
1990, and on or before the 25th day of each month
thereafter, an amount which is not less than
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the principal of the Bonds
maturing on the next December 1; .provided,
however, such deposits shall be reduced by any
amount already on deposit in the Bond Fund that
is, by virtue of this Resolution, to be applied to
the payment of debt service on the Bonds. Amounts
in the Bond Fund shall be used to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on,
the Bonds and any Additional Bonds, as such
principal matures and such interest becomes due.
In no event shall any amount in excess of the
amounts stated above be placed in the Bond Fund
for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on the Bonds and Additional
Bonds, if any, and any amount so placed may be
withdrawn by the Authority and replaced in the
Revenue Fund.
7.04. Reserve Fund. There shall be deposited
into the Reserve Fund on or before the 25th day of each
month occurring after the Sale of Water, an amount not less
than one sixtieth (1/60) of the average annual principal and
interest requirements on the Bonds, to the end that there
shall be accumulated in the Reserve Fund within sixty-one
(61) months from the date of delivery of the Bonds an amount
not less than the average annual principal and interest
requirements for the Bonds; provided, however, that (i) on
each debt service payment date (other than the penultimate
debt service payment date) when the Reserve Fund Amount de-
creases, the amount in the Reserve Fund on such date (after
038DESAJ/024C02
-20-
.
e
the application of any amount needed that day to pay princi-
pal or interest then due) accumulated pursuant to this
Resolution in excess of the decreased Reserve Fund Amount
shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Fund, deposited into the
Bond Fund and applied to the payment of debt service on the
Bonds on the next debt service payment date or dates until
so applied; and (ii) on the penultimate debt service date
all of the amount .in the Reserve Fund accumulated pursuant
to this Resolution (after the application of any amount
needed that day to pay interest then due) shall be withdrawn
from the Reserve Fund, deposited into the Bond Fund and
applied to the payment of debt service on the Bonds on the
last debt service payment date. At no time shall the
Authority be required to deposit in the Reserve Fund
proceeds (as such term is defined in the Code) of the Bonds
or any Additional Bonds if and to the extent such deposit
would adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for
federal income tax purposes of the interest on the Bonds.
No deposits shall be required to be made into the Reserve
Fund by virtue of this Resolution as long as the Reserve
Fund shall contain the aggregate of the amounts required to
be deposited therein by reason of this Resolution and the
resolutions authorizing any Additional Bonds, but if and
whenever the Reserve Fund is reduced below said aggregate
amount, the aforesaid monthly deposits into the Reserve Fund
shall be resumed and continued until such time as the
Reserve Fund has been restored to said aggregate amount.
The Reserve Fund shall be used to pay the principal of, or
interest on, the Bonds and any Additional Bonds, at any time
when there is not sufficient money available in the Bond
Fund for such purpose. Any obligation in which money in the
Reserve Fund is invested shall be kept and held in an
official depository bank of the Authority in escrow and in
trust for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds and any
Additional Bonds, and shall be promptly sold and the
proceeds of sale applied to the making of all payments
required to be made from the Reserve Fund.
7.05. Rebate Fund. The Rebate Fund is hereby
established by the Authority for the benefit of the United
States of America and the Authority, as their interests may
appear pursuant to this Resolution. There are hereby
established within the Rebate Fund two separate accounts to
be known as the Deposit Account and the Earnings Account.
(a) Earnings Account. As of each annual anniver-
sary date of the issuance of the Bonds, the Authority
shall pay into the Earnings Account of the Rebate Fund
out of legally available funds an amount equal to the
038DESAJ/024C02
-21-
e
.
aggregate income (determined in accordance with federal
income tax accounting principles) attributable to the
amounts in the Deposit Account of the Rebate Fund for
the period ending on such annual anniversary date of
the issuance of the Bonds and beginning on the immedi-
ately preceding annual anniversary date of the issuance
of the Bonds. Such amount is to be withdrawn from'the
Deposit Account or may, at the election of the
Authority, be paid from other funds legally available
therefor. An annual anniversary date for the Bonds
shall include the first date on which all of the Bonds
have been retired.
(b) Payments into the Deposit Account. The
Authority shall pay, as of each annual anniversary date
of'the issuance of the Bonds and immediately after the
payment to the Earnings Account of the Rebate Fund on
such date, into the Deposit Account of the Rebate Fund
out of funds legally available therefor the amount, if
any, which is required to increase the amount on
deposit in the Deposit Account to the Tentative Rebate
Amount as of such annual anniversary date. On such
annual anniversary date, any amount on deposit in the
Deposit Account in excess of the Tentative Rebate
Amount shall be withdrawn from the Deposit Account and
deposited into the Revenue Fund. For these purposes,
the Tentative Rebate Amount as of a date is the amount
described in Section 148(f) (3) (A) of the Code with
respect to the Bonds determined as of such date, which
shall be determined in accordance with Temp. Treas.
Reg. Section 1.103-15AT(d) (1) and any applicable
regulations that are issued hereafter. An annual
anniversary date for the Bonds shall include the first
date on which all of the Bonds have been retired.
(c) Disbursement of the Rebate Fund. The amounts
in the Rebate Fund shall be used solely for the payment
to the United States of amounts described in Section
148(f) (2) of the Code and the regulations thereunder
all as may be applicable to the Bonds. Such payment
shall be made by the Authority in accordance with the
requirements of Section 148(f) (3) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder. The first installment of such
payment is to be made by the Authority within thirty
days after the fifth annual anniversary date of the
issuance of the Bonds, with each subsequent installment
of such payment to be made within five years after the
time at which the next preceding installment was
required. The last installment of such payments is to
038DESAJ/024C02
-22-
e
.
be made by the Authority within 60 days after the final
retirement of all of the Bonds.
(d) Rebate Fund Records. The Authority shall
maintain a record of its .periodic determinations of the
Tentative Rebate Amount until six years after the final
retirement of all of the Bonds. Such records shall
summarize the manner in which the Tentative Rebate
Amount, if any, was determined on each date of deter-
mination.
(e) No Prohibited Payments. The Authority
covenants and agrees with the holders of the Bonds not
to make a prohibited payment, within the meaning of
Temp. Treas. Reg. Section 1.103-15AT(d) (6), with
respect to the Bonds. A prohibited payment includes
the payment, or agreement to pay, to a party other than
the United States, an amount that is required to be
paid to the United States pursuant to Section 148(f) (3)
of the Code by entering into a transaction that results
in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have
resulted if the transaction had been at arms' length
and if the yield on the issue had not been relevant to
either party; provided, however, that the direct
purchase of United States Treasury obligations from the
United States Treasury is not a prohibited payment.
The investment of bond proceeds in certificates of
deposit may, as provided in Temp. Treas. Reg.
Section 1.l03-15AT(d) (6) (ii), be a prohibited payment.
The Authority covenants and agrees to maintain such
records as may be necessary to establish the absence of
any prohibited payment.
(f) Amendment. The provisions of this Section
7.05 may be amended by the Authority upon the receipt
of an opinion of bond counsel selected by the Authority
that such amendment will not adversely affect any
exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds.
7.06. Contingency Fund. The Authority agrees to
cause to be deposited to the Contingency Fund, commencing
upon the Sale of Water, from available Net Revenues, monthly
amounts equivalent to at least $2,083.33 until there has
been accumulated in said Fund a total sum (the "Minimum
Contingency Fund Balance") equal to $100,000. After the
Minimum Contingency Fund Balance has been accumulated, and
during such time as there is on deposit in the Contingency
,Fund the Minimum Contingency Fund Balance, the aforesaid
monthly deposits to the Contingency Fund from the available
038DESAJ/024C02
-23-
e
.
Net Revenues may 'be suspended. Any amounts deposited into
the Contingency Fund in excess of the Minimum Contingency
Fund Balance shall be at the sole discretion and determina-
tion of the Authority. Deposits to the Conting~ncy Fund
from available Net Revenues shall be subject to and
contingent on the availability of moneys after the payment
of all amounts required to be deposited to the Bond Fund,
the Reserve Fund and the Rebate Fund.
All moneys deposited and credited to the
Contingency Fund may be used for anyone or more of the
following purposes:
(a) Transfers to the Revenue Fund for payment of
Operating and Maintenance Expenses;
(b) Transfers to the Revenue Fund for payment of
costs and expenses of replacing, reconstructing or
repairing damaged or destroyed properties of the
Transmission System or the Distribution System, when
such damage or destruction was a resul~ of a cata-
strophic event, including, without limitation, acts of "
God, acts of public enemies, civil disturbances,
explosions, fires, floods, landslides, lightning,
earthquakes, hurricanes, storms, tornadoes or other
similar causes or events, and the proceeds, if any, of
insurance are insufficient to pay the cost of replac-
ing, reconstructing or repairing such damaged or
destroyed property or properties; or
(c) Paying the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds or any Additional Bonds on any
maturity, redemption or interest pay~ent date when
moneys in the special funds created solely for the
. payment and security thereof are insufficient to make a
required payment on the Bonds or any Additional Bonds,
either or both.
7.07. Deficiencies. If in any month the
Authority shall fail to deposit into any Fund provided for
by this Resolution the full amounts required, amounts
equivalent to such deficiencies shall be set apart and paid
into said Funds from the first available and unallocated Net
Revenues of the following month or months, and such payment
shall be in addition to the amounts otherwise required to be
paid into said Funds during such month or months. To the
extent necessary, the Authority shall increase the rates and
charges for its services to make up for any such
deficiencies.
038DESAJ/024C02
-24-
e
e
7.08. Surplus Funds. Notwithstanding the pro-
visions of Section 5 hereof, Net Revenues in excess of those
necessary to establish and maintain the Funds required in
this Resolution may be used for any purpose now or hereafter
authorized by law.
7.09. Investment of Certain Moneys. Moneys in
the Bond Fund, the Construction Fund, the Reserve Fund and
the Rebate Fund may, upon authorization by the Board of
Directors, be invested in (a) Government Obligations and (b)
certificates of deposit of any bank or trust company whose
deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation, provided that such certificates of deposit, to
the extent that they exceed the amounts covered by such
insurance, are fully secured in the manner required by law;
provided, however, that any investment in a certificate of
deposit may not be a prohibited payment, within the meaning
of Treas. Reg. S 1.103-15AT(d) (6), if at the time of such
investment Treas. Reg. S 1.103-15AT(d) (6) is applicable to
the Bonds. Any obligation in which moneys from any Fund are
so invested shall be kept and held at an official depository'
bank of the Authority and shall be promptly sold and the
proceeds of sale applied to the making of any payments
required to be made from such Fund. All such investments
shall at all times be a part of the Fund from which the
moneys used to acquire said investments shall have come.
All earnings on such investments shall be credited to, and
losses thereon charged against, such Fund; provided,
however, when the Bond Fund, the Reserve Fund or the
Contingency Fund contains the full amount required at the
time to be in such Fund, any earnings shall be deposited in
the Revenue Fund. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to
the contrary, any investment of moneys in the Bond Fund
shall be made so as to mature or be subject to redemption at
the option of the owner or holder thereof on or prior to the
date or dates on which money therefrom will be required.
All Funds provided for by this Resolution shall be
secured in the manner and to the fullest 'extent required by
law for the security of public funds, and such Funds shall
be used only for the purposes and in the manner permitted or
required by this Resolution.

Section 8. ADDITIONAL BONDS.
8.01. Generally. The Authority expressly re-
serves the right hereafter to issue additional parity bonds
and other evidences of indebtedness now or hereafter autho-
rized by the Legislature of Texas (collectively, "Additional
Bonds"), and Additional Bonds, when issued, may be secured
by and payable from a first lien on and pledge of the Net
Revenues in the same manner and to the same extent as are
the Bonds; and the Bonds authorized herein and the
Additional Bonds shall in all respects be of equal dignity.
It is provided, however, that no installment or series of
Additional Bonds shall be issued pursuant to this Section
8.01 unless:
(a) A certificate is executed by the President of
the Board and the General Manager of the Authority to
the effect that no default exists in connection with
any of the covenants or requirements of this Resolution
or the resolutions authorizing the issuance of all
Additional Bonds then outstanding;
(b) A certificate is executed by the President of
the Board and the General Manager of the Authority to
the effect that the Bond Fund, the Reserve Fund and the
Contingency Fund each contain the amount then required
to be on deposit therein;
(c) At the time of the adoption of the resolution
authorizing the issuance of Additional Bonds, the Net
Revenues for the most recent complete fiscal year, as
certified by a Certified Public Accountant or firm of
Certified Public Accountants, were equal to at least
1.2 times the average annual principal and interest
requirements for all Bonds and Additional Bonds then
outstanding and for the series of Additional Bonds then
proposed to be issued; provided, however, should the
certificate of the accountant certify that the Net
Revenues for the period covered thereby were less than
required above, and a change in the rates and charges
for services provided by the Authority pursuant to the
Water Sales Contracts became effective at least 60 days
prior to the scheduled date of adoption of the resolu-
tion authorizing such Additional Bonds, then such
Additional Bonds may nevertheless be issued if an
independent engineer or engineering firm having a
favorable reputation with respect to such matters
certifies that, had such change in rates and charges
been effective for the period covered by the
038DESAJ/024C02
-26-
e
e
accountantls certificate, the Net Revenues for the
period covered by the accountant's certificate would
have met the test specified above; and
(d) The Additional Bonds are made to mature on
December 1 in each of the years in which they are
scheduled to mature.
8.02. Completion Indebtedness. The Authority
reserves the right to issue Additional Bonds on a parity in
all respects with the Bonds secured by a first lien on and
pledge of Net Revenues in the same manner and to the same
extent as are the Bonds. Such Additional Bonds may be
issued without complying with the provisions of Section 8.01
(a), (b) or (c), provided that such Additional Bonds are
issued solely for the purpose of providing the financing for
(a) amounts payable under the Houston Contract to purchase
the initial undivided interest in the Southeast Plant; and
(b) the completion of the initial Distribution System and
the Transmission System as contemplated by the Water Sales
Contracts. Any such Additional Bonds shall be made to
mature on December 1 in the years in which they are
scheduled to mature.
8.03. Refunding Bonds. The Authority reserves
the right to issue Additional Bonds on a parity in all
respects with the Bonds to refund all or any part of the
Bonds, Additional Bonds or other indebtedness of the Author-
ity then outstanding (pursuant to any applicable law then in
effect) upon such terms and conditions as the Board of

9.01. Maintenance and Insurance. While any of
the Bonds or any Additional Bonds are outstanding, the
Authority covenants and agrees to maintain the Transmission
System and the Distribution System in good condition and
operate the same in an efficient manner and at a reasonable
cost. So long as any of the Bonds or any Additional Bonds
are outstanding, the Authority agrees to maintain insurance
on the Transmission System and the Distribution System, of a
kind and in an amount which usually would be carried by
private companies engaged in a similar type of business in
the same area. This Resolution shall not be construed as
requiring the Authority to expend any funds which are
derived from sources other than Revenues, but nothing herein
shall be construed as preventing the Authority from doing
so.
9.02. Books and Records. The Authority shall
keep proper books of records and accounts, separate from all
other records and accounts, in which complete and correct
entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the
Revenues, the Authority's undivided interest in the

than 90 days following the close of the fiscal year, the
Authority shall furnish to any registered owner of any of
the Bonds or any Additional Bonds, complete financial
statements in reasonable detail covering such fiscal year,
certified by the Authority's auditor. Any registered owner
or owners of the Bonds or any Additional Bonds at the time
outstanding shall have the right at all reasonable times to
inspect the Transmission System and the Distribution System
and all records, accounts and data of the Authority relating
thereto.
9.03. General Representations and Covenants. The
Authority hereby further represents and covenants as
follows:
(a) That it has the lawful power to pledge the
Net Revenues and the Funds pledged hereunder and has
lawfully exercised the power under the Constitution and laws
of the State of Texas, including said power existing under
the Act and Chapter 54 of the Texas Water Code, as amended;
038DESAJ/024C02
-29-
e
e
and that the Bonds issued hereunder shall be ratably
secured, together with any Additional Bonds, by said pledge
of revenues in such manner that one bond shall have no
preference over any other bond.
(b) That, other than for the payment of the First
Series of Bonds and the Bonds herein authorized, neither the
Revenues nor the Net Revenues have been pledged in any
manner to the payment of any debt or obligations of the
Authority.
(c) That, so long as any of' the Bonds or Addi-
tional Bonds remain unpaid, the Authority will not sell or
encumber the Revenues, the Authority's undivided interest in
the Southeast Plant, the Transmission System and the
Distribution System or any substantial part thereof, and
that it will not encumber the Net Revenues thereof unless
such encumbrance is made in accordance with the terms of
this Resolution or is junior and subordinate to all of the
provisions of this Resolution.
(d) That the Authority has obtained; caused to
be obtained or will obtain, and will comply with the terms
and conditions of, all franchises, permits and
authorizations from any governmental agency applicable to or
necessary with respect to the Authority and its operations,
and it will keep all such franchises, permits and
authorizations in full force and effect.
9.04 Tax Covenants.
The Authority covenants and agrees with the
holders of the Bonds as follows:

income tax purposes of i~terest on the Bonds, and, in
particular, there will be compliance with those provisions
of Section 103 and Section 141 through 150 of the Code that
affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income
tax purposes of the interest on the Bonds.
(b) The Authority will use the proceeds of the
Bonds in the manner described in this Resolution except to
the extent that any variation from such provisions that is
permitted by applicable law will not adversely affect the
038DESAJ/024C02
-30-
.
e
exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes
of interest on the Bonds, and will not enter into any
contract (or other arrangement) for the sale of water from
its undivided interest in the Southeast Plant that will
adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal
income tax purposes of the interest on the Bonds.
(c) The Authority will not use or invest the
proceeds of. the Bonds or any other amounts or any investment
earnings thereon in a manner that will result in the Bonds
becoming "arbitrage bonds", within the meaning of Section
148 of the Code. The Authority will not invest an amount of
the proceeds of the Bonds in the Reserve Fund or in any
reasonably required reserve or replacement fund if the
amount of proceeds so invested is, in the aggregate, in
excess of 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds, within
the meaning of Section 148(d) (2) of the Code.
(d) The Authority shall comply with the pro-
visions of Section 148 of the Code with respect to arbitrage
rebate as they apply to the Bonds.

S 1.103-15AT(d) (6), so long as such regulation is applicable
to the Bonds.
(f) The Authority shall not take, or omit to
take, any action if such action or omission would cause the
Bonds to be federally guaranteed, within the meaning of
Section 149(b) of the Code.

requirements of Section 149(e) (2) of the Code, requiring
information regarding the Bonds to be filed with the
Internal Revenue Service within prescribed time limits.
B. Private Activity Bond Covenants. The Bonds
are not, and will not be, private activity bonds, within the
meaning of Section 141 of the Code.
C. No Arbitrage Covenant. The Bonds are not,
and will not be, arbitrage bonds, within the meaning of
Section l48 of the Code.
D. Survival. The prov1s1ons of this Section
9.04 shall survive, notwithstanding any provision of this
038DESAJ/024C02
-31-
e
e
Resolution to the contrary, the payment, any provision for
payment, or any defeasance of one or more of the Bonds.
9.05 Final Accounting.
The Authority covenants and agrees that upon com-
pletion of the Transmission System and the Distribution
System, the proper officials of the Authority shall cause to
be prepared and submitted to the Purchaser:
(a) a final accounting of the total costs of the
Transmission System and the Distribution System and the
expenditure of funds therefor; and
(b) a copy of the final construction plans for
the Transmission System and the Distribution System as built
and completed.
In addition to containing any information reasonably
required by the Purchaser, such final accounting shall
identify all funds utilized or represented to be available
in the Authority's application from whatever source derived
and all project costs approved in subsequent change orders.
Section 10. LIMITED OBLIGATIONS. The Bonds are
special obligations of the Authority payable solely from the
revenues and funds pledged hereunder, and the registered
owners thereof shall never have the right to demand payment
thereof out of any other revenues or properties of the
Authority, or out of funds raised or to be raised by
taxation by the Authority, the City of La Porte, Texas, the
State of Texas or any subdivision of any of them.
Section 11. DEFAULT PROVISIONS
11.01. Remedies of Registered Owners. In
addition to all rights and remedies of any registered owner
of the Bonds provided by the laws of the State of Texas, the
Authority and the Board covenant and agree that in the event
the Authority defaults in the payment of the principal of or
interest on any of the Bonds when due, fails to make the
payments required by this Resolution to be made into the
Bond Fund, or defaults in the observance or performance of
any of the covenants, conditions or obligations set forth in
this Resolution, the registered owner of any of the Bonds
shall be entitled to a writ of mandamus issued by a court of
proper jurisdiction compelling and requiring the Board and
other officers of the Authority to observe and perform any
covenant, obligation or condition prescribed in this
038DESAJ/024C02
-32-
e
e
Resolution. No delay or omission by any registered owner to
exercise any r~ght or power accruing to him upon default
shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed
to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence therein,
and every such right or power may be exercised from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient. The specific
remedies mentioned in this Resolution shall be available to
any registered owner of any of the Bonds and shall be
cumulative of al~ other existing remedies.
11.02. Resolution is Contract. In consideration
of the purchase and the acceptance of the Bonds authorized
to be issued hereunder by those who shall hold the same from
time to time, the provisions of this Resolution shall be
deemed to be and shall constitute a contract between the
Authority and the registered owners of the Bonds, and the
covenants and agreements herein set forth to be performed on
behalf of the Authority shall be for the equal benefit,
protection and security of the registered owners of any and
all of the 'Bonds, all of which, regardless of the time or
times of their issue or maturity, shall be of equal rank
without preference, priority or distinction except as
expressly provided herein.
Section 12. DEFEASANCE. Any Bond shall be deemed
to be paid and shall no longer be considered to be a "Bond"

principal of and interest on such Bond to maturity or to the
date fixed for redemption (notice of which shall have been
given or waived) shall have been made or provided for by
depositing with the Treasurer of the State of Texas or with
the Paying Agent/Registrar, (i) moneys sufficient to make
such payment or (ii) moneys and Government Obligations
certified by an independent public accounting firm of
national reputation to be of such maturities and interest
payment dates and to bear such interest as will, without
further investment of the principal thereof or the interest
thereon, be sufficient to make such payment, provided that
all the expenses pertaining to the Bonds with respect to
which such deposit is made shall have been paid or the
payment thereof provided for to the satisfaction of said
State Treasurer or the Paying Agent/Registrar, as the case
may be. At such times as a Bond shall be deemed to be paid
hereunder, as aforesaid, it shall no longer be entitled to
the benefits of this Resolution, except for the purposes of
any such payment from such moneys or Government Obligations
and for the transfer, exchange or replacement of such Bond
as provided in Sections 2.05 and 2.09 hereof prior to
maturity or redemption. If money and/or Government

determined by the Board of Directors that the sale and
