other entity. The Town shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's standard or customary fees and

payment (a "Special Record Date") will be established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when
funds for the payment of such interest have been received from the Town. Notice of the Special
Record Date and of the scheduled payment date of the past due interest (which shall be 15 days
after the Special Record Date) shall be sent at least five (5) business days prior to the Special

to, and may, at its option, change the Paying Agent/Registrar upon not less than 50 days written
notice to the Paying Agent/Registrar, to be effective not later than 45 days prior to the next
principal or interest payment date after such notice. In the event that the entity at any time acting

or otherwise cease to act as such, the Town 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 Town. Upon any change in the
Paying Agent/Registrar, the Town promptly will cause a written notice thereof to be sent by the
new Paying Agent/Registrar to each registered owner of the Certificates, by United States mail,
first-class postage prepaid, which notice also shall give the address of the new Paying
Agent/Registrar. By accepting the position and performing as such, each Paying Agent/Registrar
shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this Ordinance, and a certified copy of this
Ordinance shall be delivered to each Paying Agent/Registrar.

fully registered form, without interest coupons, with the principal of and interest on such
Certificates to be payable only to the Registered Owners thereof, (ii) may be redeemed prior to

CERTIFICATE set forth as Exhibit A of this Ordinance. The Certificates initially issued and
delivered pursuant to this Ordinance are not required to be, and shall not be, authenticated by the
Paying Agent/Registrar, but on each substitute Certificate issued in conversion of and exchange
for any Certificate or Certificates issued under this Ordinance the Paying Agent/Registrar shall
execute the Paying Agent/registrar's Authentication Certificate, in the FORM OF CERTIFICATE
set forth as Exhibit A of this Ordinance.
f) Book -Entry -Only System. Unless the Certificates are sold by private placement,
the Certificates issued in exchange for the Certificates initially issued to the Underwriter 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 of New York ("DTC"), and
except as provided in subsection (g) of this Section, all of the outstanding Certificates shall be
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
With respect to Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the
Town 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. Without limiting the
immediately preceding sentence, the Town and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no
responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or
any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Certificates, (ii) the delivery to
any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of Certificates, as shown
on the Registration Books, of any notice with respect to the Certificates, or (iii) the payment to any
DTC Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of Certificates, as shown in the
Registration Books of any amount with respect to principal of or interest on the Certificates.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, the Town and the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall be entitled to treat and consider the person in whose name each Certificate
is registered in the Registration Books as the absolute owner of such Certificate for the purpose of
payment of principal and interest with respect to such Certificate, for the purpose of registering
transfers with respect to such Certificate, and for all other purposes whatsoever. 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 Town's obligations with respect to payment of principal of and
interest on the Certificates to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a
registered owner, as shown in the Registration Books, shall receive a physical Certificate
evidencing the obligation of the Town to make payments of principal and interest pursuant to this
Ordinance. Upon delivery by DTC to the Paying Agent/Registrar of written notice to the effect
that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the
provisions in this Ordinance with respect to interest checks being mailed to the registered owner

to such new nominee of DTC.
g) Successor Securities De osito , Transfers Outside Book-En-OnlyBook-Enju-Only System. If the
Certificates are subject to the DTC book -entry system, and in the event that the Town determines
that DTC is incapable of discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the representation
letter of the Town 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 Town 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 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. h)
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 representation
letter of the Town to DTC. i)
Cancellation of Initial Certificate. On the Delivery Date, one initial Certificate representing
the entire principal amount of the Certificates, payable in stated installments to the order
of the Underwriter or its designee, executed by manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor and
the Town Secretary, approved by the Attorney General and registered and manually signed by the
Comptroller, will be delivered to the Underwriter or its designee. If the Certificates are sold subject
to the book -entry system of DTC, then upon payment for the initial Certificate, the Paying Agent/
Registrar shall insert the Delivery Date on Certificate No. T-1, cancel the initial Certificate and
deliver to DTC on behalf of the Underwriter 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,
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. To the extent that the Paying Agent/
Registrar is eligible to participate in DTC's FAST System, pursuant to an agreement between
the Paying Agent/Registrar and DTC, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall hold the definitive Certificates
in safekeeping for DTC. 0)
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 moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates
to be redeemed shall 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 Town, be conditional upon the satisfaction of such prerequisites and receipt of such moneys 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 and sufficient moneys are not received, such notice shall
be of no force and effect, the Town shall not redeem such Certificates and the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to
the effect that the Certificates have not been redeemed.
Section 5. FORM OF CERTIFICATES. The form of the Certificate, 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 to be attached only to
the Certificates initially issued and delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, shall be, respectively,
substantially in the form provided in Exhibit A, with such appropriate variations, omissions, or
insertions as are permitted or required by this Ordinance. The Form of Certificate as it appears in
Exhibit A shall be completed, amended and modified by Bond Counsel to incorporate the
information set forth in the Pricing Certificate, but it is not required for the Form of Certificate to
be reproduced as an exhibit to the Pricing Certificate.
Section 6. INTEREST AND SINKING FUND; SURPLUS REVENUES.
a) A special "Interest and Sinking Fund" is hereby created and shall be established
and maintained by the Town at an official depository bank of said Town. Said Interest and Sinking
Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of said Town, 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 Town 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 Town, 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 Town, 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 limits prescribed by law.
b) The Certificates are additionally secured by and payable from a pledge of the
revenues of the Town's combined Waterworks and Sewer Systems remaining after payment of all
operation and maintenance expenses thereof (the "Net Revenues"), and all debt service, reserve
and other requirements in connection with all of the Town's revenue obligations (now or hereafter
outstanding) that are payable from all or part of the Net Revenues of the Town's Waterworks and
Sewer Systems, constituting "Surplus Revenues." The Town shall deposit such Surplus Revenues
to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund created pursuant to Section 6, to the extent necessary
to pay the principal and interest on the Certificates. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section
6, if Surplus Revenues 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 Section 6 may be reduced to the extent
8
and by the amount of the Surplus Revenues then on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund. The
Town reserves the right, without condition or limitation, to issue other obligations secured in whole
or in part by a parity lien on and pledge of the Surplus Revenues, for any purpose permitted by
law.
c) Chapter 1208, Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Certificates and the
pledge of the taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the Town hereunder, and is therefore valid,
effective and perfected. Should State 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 Town hereunder is to be subject to the filing requirements of
Chapter 9, Business and Commerce Code, in order to preserve to the registered owners of the
Certificates a security interest in said pledge, the Town agrees to take such measures as it
determines are reasonable and necessary under State law to comply with the applicable provisions
of Chapter 9, Business and Commerce Code and enable a filing of a security interest in said pledge
to occur.
Section 7. 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 Town 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 Town 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 Town 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
9
respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be turned over to the Town, or deposited
as directed in writing by the Town. Any Future Escrow Agreement pursuant to which the money
and/or Defeasance Securities are held for the payment of Defeased Certificates may contain
provisions permitting the investment or reinvestment of such moneys in Defeasance Securities or
the substitution of other Defeasance Securities upon the satisfaction of the requirements specified
in subsection 6(a)(i) or (ii). All income from such Defeasance Securities received by the Paying
Agent/Registrar which is not required for the payment of the Defeased Certificates, with respect
to which such money has been so deposited, shall be remitted to the Town or deposited as directed
in writing by the Town.
c) Subject to any statement to the contrary that may be included in the Pricing
Certificate, 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 Town shall make proper
arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Ordinance.
e) In the event that the Town 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 8. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED
CERTIFICATES.
a) Replacement Certificates. In the event any outstanding Certificate is damaged,
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed
and delivered, a new certificate of the same principal amount, maturity and interest rate, as the
damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, in replacement for such Certificate in the
manner hereinafter provided.
b) Application for Replacement Certificates. Application for replacement of
damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates shall be made by the registered owner
thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft or destruction of a Certificate,
the registered owner applying for a replacement certificate shall furnish to the Town and to the
Paying Agent/Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless from any loss or damage with respect thereto. Also, in every case of loss, theft or
destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner shall furnish to the Town and to the Paying
Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft or destruction of such Certificate,
as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a Certificate, the registered owner
shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Certificate so damaged or
mutilated.
c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Ordinance,
in the event any such Certificate shall have matured, and no default has occurred that is then
continuing in the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the
10
Certificate, the Town may authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in
the case of a damaged or mutilated Certificate) instead of issuing a replacement Certificate,
provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section.
d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Certificates. Prior to the issuance of any
replacement certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such
Certificate with all legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement
certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Certificate
is lost, stolen or destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Town whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and proportionately with any and all
other Certificates duly issued under this Ordinance.
e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Certificates. In accordance with Section

Section 10. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON THE

a) Covenants. The Town covenants to take any action necessary to assure, or refrain
from any action which would adversely affect, the treatment of the Certificates as obligations
described in section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the
interest on which is not includable in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of federal
income taxation. In furtherance thereof, the Town covenants as follows:
1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of
the Certificates or the projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund,
if any) are used for any "private business use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code
or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds or the projects financed therewith are so used,
such amounts, whether or not received by the Town, with respect to such private business
use, do not, under the terms of this Ordinance or any underlying arrangement, directly or
indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service
on the Certificates, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code;
2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use"
described in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates or
the projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the
amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a "private business use" which is "related" and
not "disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the
governmental use;
3) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser
of $5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates (less amounts deposited into
a reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than
state or local governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code;
4) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the
Certificates being treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b)
of the Code;
5) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Certificates being
federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
6) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Certificates, directly
or indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to
acquire investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces
a materially higher yield over the term of the Certificates, other than investment property
acquired with B
A) proceeds of the Certificates invested for a reasonable temporary
period of 3 years or less or, in the case of a refunding bond, for a period of 90 days
or less until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the bonds are
issued,
12
B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the
meaning of section 1.148 1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or
replacement fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the
proceeds of the Certificates;
7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Certificates or amounts
treated as proceeds of the Certificates, as may be necessary, so that the Certificates do not
otherwise contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage);
8) to refrain from using the proceeds of the Certificates or proceeds of any
prior bonds to pay debt service on another issue more than 90 days after the date of issue
of the Certificates in contravention of the requirements of section 149(d) of the Code
relating to advance refundings); and
9) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year
period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Certificates) an amount that is at least equal
to 90 percent of the "Excess Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(f) of the Code
and to pay to the United States of America, not later than 60 days after the Certificates have
been paid in full, 100 percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess
Earnings under section 148(f) of the Code.
b) Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (8), a
Rebate Fund" is hereby established by the Town for the sole benefit of the United States of
America, and such fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without
limitation the bondholders. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of
compliance with section 148 of the Code.
c) Use of Proceeds. The Town understands that the term "proceeds" includes
disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds,
transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds expended prior to the date of
issuance of the Certificates. It is the understanding of the Town that the covenants contained
herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated
by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings
are hereafter promulgated which modify or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the
Certificates, the Town will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the
extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, will not
adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Certificates under
section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which
impose additional requirements which are applicable to the Certificates, the Town agrees to
comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally
recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on
the Certificates under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the Town hereby
authorizes and directs the Mayor, the Mayor Pro Tem, the Finance Director, the Town Secretary
and each Pricing Officer to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code
and to make such elections, on behalf of the Town, which may be permitted by the Code as are
consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Certificates.
13
d) Allocation of, and Limitation on, Expenditures for the Projects. The Town
covenants to account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings to be used for
the Projects on its books and records in accordance with the requirements of the Code. The Town
recognizes that in order for the proceeds to be considered used for the reimbursement of costs, the
proceeds must be allocated to expenditures within 18 months of the later of the date that (1) the
expenditure is made, or (2) the Projects are completed; but in no event later than three years after
the date on which the original expenditure is paid. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Town
recognizes that in order for proceeds to be expended under the Code, the sale proceeds or
investment earnings must be expended no more than 60 days after the earlier of (1) the fifth
anniversary of the delivery of the Certificates, or (2) the date the Certificates are retired. The Town
agrees to obtain the advice of nationally -recognized bond counsel if such expenditure fails to
comply with the foregoing to assure that such expenditure will not adversely affect the tax-exempt
status of the Certificates. For purposes hereof, the Town 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 the Projects. The Town covenants that the property constituting the
Projects will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the Town
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
Town 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 Town 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.

assigns (hereinafter called the "Registered Owner"), the Principal Amount specified above. The
Town promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof (calculated on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months) from the Delivery Date above at the Interest Rate per
annum specified above. Interest is payable on [February 15, 2024 and semiannually on each
August 15 and February 15] thereafter to the Maturity Date specified above, or the date of
redemption prior to maturity; except, if this Certificate is required to be authenticated and the date
of its authentication is later than the first Record Date (hereinafter defined), such Principal Amount
shall bear interest from the interest payment date next preceding the date of authentication, unless
such date of authentication is after any Record Date but on or before the next following interest
payment date, in which case such principal amount shall bear interest from such next following
interest payment date; provided, however, that if on the date of authentication hereof the interest
on the Certificate or Certificates, if any, for which this Certificate is being exchanged is due but
A-1
has not been paid, then this Certificate shall bear interest from the date to which such interest has
been paid in full.
THE PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON this Certificate are payable in lawful money

Certificate shall be paid to the registered owner hereof upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at maturity, or upon the date fixed for its redemption prior to maturity, at the principal

Books kept by the Paying Agent/Registrar, as hereinafter described. In addition, interest may be
paid by such other method, acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar, requested by, and at the risk
and expense of, the registered owner. In the event of a non-payment of interest on a scheduled
payment date, and for 30 days thereafter, a new record date for such interest payment (a "Special
Record Date") will be established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when funds for the
payment of such interest have been received from the Town. Notice of the Special Record Date
and of the scheduled payment date of the past due interest (which 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 Registration Books at the close of business on the last business day next preceding the date of
mailing of such notice.
ANY ACCRUED INTEREST due at maturity or upon the redemption of this Certificate

Sinking Fund" created by the Certificate Ordinance, the amounts required to provide for the
payment, in immediately available funds, of all principal of and interest on the Certificates, when
due.

Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the city where the
principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized by law or
executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day that is
not such a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day on which banking institutions are authorized to
close; and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the original
date payment was due.

ii) paying legal, fiscal and engineering fees in connection with such projects.
ON [AUGUST 15, 2033], or any date thereafter, the Certificates of this series may be
redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, at the option of the Town, with funds derived from
any available and lawful source, as a whole, or in part, and, if in part, the particular Certificates,
or portions thereof, to be redeemed shall be selected and designated by the Town (provided that a
portion of a Certificate may be redeemed only in an integral multiple of $5,000), at a redemption
price equal to the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption.
AT LEAST THIRTY days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of Certificates or
portions thereof prior to maturity a written notice of such redemption shall be sent by the Paying
Agent/Registrar by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid to the registered owner of each
Certificate to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the 45th day prior to such redemption
date; provided, however, that the failure of the registered owner to receive such notice, or any
defect therein or in the sending or mailing thereof, shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of
the proceedings for the redemption of any Certificate. By the date fixed for any such redemption
due provision shall be made with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the required
redemption price for the Certificates or portions thereof that are to be so redeemed. If such written
notice of redemption is sent and if due provision for such payment is made, all as provided above,
the Certificates or portions thereof that are to be so redeemed thereby automatically shall be treated
as redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, and they shall not bear interest after the date fixed

registered owner to receive the redemption price from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds
provided for such payment. If a portion of any Certificate shall be redeemed, a substitute
Certificate or Certificates having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate, in any
denomination or denominations in any integral multiple of $5,000, at the written request of the
registered owner, and in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof, will
be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender thereof for cancellation, at the expense of 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 Town, 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,

manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that such Certificates have not
been redeemed.
