5. Optional and Mandatory Redemption. Portions of the Bonds are subject to
optional redemption on the dates and at the redemption prices set forth in the form of the
Bonds in this Resolution. In addition, portions of the Bonds are subject to mandatory
redemption on the dates and at the redemption prices set forth in the form of the Bonds
in this Resolution.
Principal amounts may be redeemed only in integral multiples of $5,000. If a Bond
subject to redemption is in a denomination larger than $5,000, a portion of such Bond
may be redeemed, but only in integral multiples of $5,000. In selecting portions of Bonds
for redemption, the Registrar shall treat each Bond as representing that number of Bonds
of $5,000 denomination which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond

Bond so surrendered.
Notice of any redemption identifying the Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in
part shall be given by the Registrar at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption
by sending written notice by first class mail to the Registered Owner of each Bond to be
redeemed in whole or in part at the address shown on the Register. Such notices shall
state the redemption date, the redemption price, the place at which Bonds are to be
surrendered for payment and, if less than all Bonds outstanding within any one maturity
are to be redeemed, the numbers of the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed. Any
notice given as provided in this Section shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the Registered Owner receives such notice. By the date fixed for
redemption, due provision shall be made with the Registrar for payment of the
redemption price of the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, plus accrued interest
to the date fixed for redemption. When Bonds have been called for redemption in whole
or in part and due provision has been made to redeem same as herein provided, the
Bonds or portions thereof so redeemed shall no longer be regarded as outstanding except
for the purpose of receiving payment solely from the funds so provided for redemption,
and the rights of the Registered Owners to collect interest which would otherwise accrue
after the redemption date on any Bond or portion thereof called for redemption shall
terminate on the date fixed for redemption.
6. Execution of Bonds; Seal. The Bonds shall be signed by the President or
Vice President of the Board and countersigned by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of
the Board, by their manual, lithographed, or facsimile signatures, and the official seal of
the District shall be impressed or placed in facsimile thereon. Such facsimile signatures
on the Bonds shall have the same effect as if each of the Bonds had been signed manually
and in person by each of said officers, and such facsimile seal on the Bonds shall have the
same effect as if the official seal of the District had been manually impressed upon each
of the Bonds. If any officer of the District whose manual or facsimile signature shall
appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the authentication of such Bonds
or before the delivery of such Bonds, such manual or facsimile signature shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such officer had remained in
such office.
On the Closing Date, the Initial Bond, being a single bond representing the entire
principal amount of the Bonds, (the “Initial Bond”), payable in stated installments to the
Initial Purchaser or is designee, executed by manual or facsimile signature of the
President or Vice President and Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Board, approved
by the Attorney General, and registered and manually signed by the Comptroller of
Public Accounts, shall be delivered to the Initial Purchaser or its designee. Upon payment
for the Initial Bond, the Registrar shall cancel the Initial Bond and deliver Bonds to DTC
in accordance with Section 13.
7. Approval by Attorney General; Registration by Comptroller. The Bonds to
be initially issued shall be delivered to the Attorney General of Texas for approval and
shall be registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas. The
manually executed registration certificate of the Comptroller of Public Accounts
substantially in the form provided in this Resolution shall be attached or affixed to the
Bonds to be initially issued.
8. Authentication. Except for the Initial Bond, which need not be
authenticated by the Registrar, in the event the Book-Entry-Only system is discontinued,
only such Bonds which bear thereon a certificate of authentication, substantially in the
form provided in this Resolution, manually executed by an authorized re presentative of
the Registrar, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Resolution or shall be valid or
obligatory for any purpose. Such duly executed certificate of authentication shall be
conclusive evidence that the Bonds so authenticated were delivered by the Registrar
hereunder.
9. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Registrar is hereby appointed as the
paying agent for the Bonds. The principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable,
without exchange or collection charges, in any coin or cur rency of the United States of
America which, on the date of payment, is legal tender for the payment of debts due the
United States of America. Principal is payable upon presentation and surrender of the
Bonds as they respectively become due and payable, whether at maturity or by prior
redemption, at the principal payment office of the Registrar in Dallas, Texas. Interest is

the Registrar and the Registered Owner, at the risk and expense of the Registered Owner.
Any accrued interest payable at maturity on a Bond shall be paid upon presentation and
surrender of such Bond at the operations office of the Registrar.
If the date for payment of the principal of or interest on any Bond is not a Business

same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was originally due.
10. Successor Registrars. The District covenants that at all times while any
Bonds are outstanding it will provide a national or state banking institution, which shall
be 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 which shall be subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, to act as Registrar for the
Bonds. The District reserves the right to change the Registrar for the Bonds on not less
than 30 days written notice to the Registrar, so long as any such notice is effective not less
than 60 days prior to the next succeeding principal or Interest Payment Date on the
Bonds. Promptly upon the appointment of any successor Registrar, the previous
Registrar shall deliver the Register or copies thereof to the new Registrar, and the new
Registrar shall notify each Registered Owner, by United States mail, first class postage
prepaid, of such change and of the address of the new Registrar. Each Registrar
hereunder, by acting in that capacity, shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions
of this Section.
11. Special Record Date. If interest on any Bond is not paid on any Interest
Payment Date and continues unpaid for 30 days thereafter, the Registrar shall establish a
new record date for the payment of such interest, to be known as a Special Record Date.
The Registrar shall establish a Special Record Date when funds to make such interest
payment are received from or on behalf of the District. Such Special Record Date shall be
15 days prior to the date fixed for payment of such past due interest, and notice of the
date of payment and the Special Record Date shall be sent by United States mail, first
class, postage prepaid, not later than five days prior to the Special Record Date, to each
affected Registered Owner of record as of the close of business on the day prior to the
mailing of such notice.

and any other person may treat the person in whose name any Bond is registered as the
absolute Registered Owner of such Bond for the purpose of making and receiving
payment of principal or interest on such Bond, and for all other purposes, whether or not
such Bond is overdue, and neither the District nor the Registrar shall be bound by any
notice or knowledge to the contrary. All payments made to the person deemed to be the
Registered Owner of any Bond in accordance with this Section shall be valid and effectual
and shall discharge the liability of the District and the Registrar upon such Bond to the
extent of the sums paid.
Amounts held by the Registrar which represent principal of and interest on the
Bonds remaining unclaimed by the Registered Owner after the expiration of three years
from the date such amounts have become due and payable shall be reported and
disposed of by the Registrar in accordance with the applicable provisions of Texas law
including, to the extent applicable, Title 6 of the Texas Property Code, as amended.
13. Book-Entry-Only System. (a) The Initial Bond shall be registered in the
name of Cede & Co. Except as provided in this Section 13 hereof, all other Bonds shall be
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
(b) With respect to Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of
DTC, the District and the Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any DTC
Participant or to any person on behalf of whom such DTC Participant holds an interest
in the Bonds, except as provided in this Resolution. Without limiting the immediately
preceding sentence, the District and the 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 Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any
DTC Participant or any other person, other than a Registered Owner, as shown on the
Register, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or
(iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a Registered
Owner, as shown on the Register, of any amount with respect to principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on the Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution
to the contrary, the District and the Registrar shall be entitled to treat and consider the
person in whose name each Bond is registered in the Register as the absolute owner of
such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal of and inter est on the Bonds, for the
purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for
the purpose of registering transfer with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes
whatsoever. The Registrar shall pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds only to or upon the resolution of the respective Registered Owners, as shown in
the Register as provided in this Resolution, or their respective attorneys duly authorized
in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge
the District’s obligations with respect to payments of principal, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a
Registered Owner, as shown in the Register, shall receive a Bond certificate evidencing
the obligation of the District to make payments of amounts due pursuant to this
Resolution. Upon delivery by DTC to the 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 of this Resolution with respect to interest checks being mailed to the
Registered Owner of record as of the Record Date, the phrase “Cede & Co.” in this
Resolution shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
(c) The execution and delivery of the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations is

President of the Board, and the President or Vice President of the Board is hereby
authorized and directed to execute such Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations.
14. Successor Securities Depository; Transfer Outside Book-Entry-Only

depository, qualified to act as such under Section 17(a) of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, notify DTC and DTC Participants, as identified by DTC, of the
appointment of such successor securities depository and transfer one or more separate
Bonds to such successor securities depository or (ii) notify DTC and DTC Participants, as
identified by DTC, of the availability through DTC of Bonds and transfer one or more
separate Bonds to DTC Participants having Bonds credited to their DTC accounts, as
identified by DTC. In such event, the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being
registered in the Register 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 Bonds shall
designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution.
15. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Resolution to the contrary, so long as any Bonds are registered in the name of Cede &
Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on such Bonds, and all notices with respect to such Bonds, shall be made and
given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Blanket Issuer Letter of
Representations.

for the registration and transfer of Bonds in accordance with the terms of this Resolution.
Each Bond shall be transferable only upon the presentation and surrender thereof
at the operations office of the Registrar, duly endorsed for transfer, or accompanied by
an assignment duly executed by the Registered Owner or his authorized representative
in form satisfactory to the Registrar. Upon due presentation of any Bond in proper form
for transfer, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, within three

All Bonds shall be exchangeable upon presentation and surrender thereof at the
principal payment office of the Registrar for a Bond or Bonds of like maturity and interest
rate and in any authorized denomination, in an aggregate amount equal to the unpaid
principal amount of the Bond or Bonds presented for exchange. The Registrar shall be
and is hereby authorized to authenticate and deliver exchange Bonds in accordance with
the provisions of this Section. Each Bond delivered in accordance with this Section shall
be entitled to the benefits and security of this Resolution to the same extent as the Bond
or Bonds in lieu of which such Bond is delivered.
The District or the Registrar may require the Registered Owner of any Bond to pay
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with the transfer or exchange of such Bond. Any fee or charge of the Registrar
for such transfer or exchange shall be paid by the District.
17. Mutilated, Lost, or Stolen Bonds. Subject to the provisions of Section 13,
entitled “Book-Entry-Only System,” upon the presentation and surrender to the Registrar
of a mutilated Bond, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
replacement Bond of like maturity, interest rate, and principal amount, bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding. If any Bond is lost, apparently destroyed, or
wrongfully taken, the District, pursuant to the applicable laws of the State of Texas and
in the absence of notice or knowledge that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, shall execute and the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver a replacement
Bond of like maturity, interest rate and principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.
The District or the Registrar may require the Registered Owner of a mutilated
Bond to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith and any other expenses connected therewith, including
the fees and expenses of the Registrar. The District or the Registrar may require the
Registered Owner of a lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken Bond, before any
replacement Bond is issued, to:
(1) furnish to the District and the Registrar satisfactory evidence of the
ownership of and the circumstances of the loss, destruction or theft of such Bond;
(2) furnish such security or indemnity as may be required by the Registrar and
the District to hold them harmless;
(3) pay all expenses and charges in connection therewith, including, but not
limited to, printing costs, legal fees, fees of the Registrar and any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed; and
(4) meet any other reasonable requirements of the District and the Registrar.
If, after the delivery of such replacement Bond, a bona fide purchaser of the
original Bond in lieu of which such replacement Bond was issued presents for payment
such original Bond, the District and the Registrar shall be entitled to recover such
replacement Bond from the person to whom it was delivered or any person taking
therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security
or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense
incurred by the District or the Registrar in connection therewith.
If any such mutilated, lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken Bond has
become or is about to become due and payable, the District in its discretion may, instead
of issuing a replacement Bond, authorize the Registrar to pay such Bond.
Each replacement Bond delivered in accordance with this Section shall be entitled
to the benefits and security of this Resolution to the same extent as the Bond or Bonds in
lieu of which such replacement Bond is delivered.
18. Cancellation of Bonds. Subject to the provisions in Section 13, entitled
“Book-Entry-Only System,” all Bonds paid in accordance with this Resolution, and all
Bonds in lieu of which exchange Bonds or replacement Bonds are authenticated and
delivered in accordance herewith, shall be canceled and destroyed upon the making of
proper records regarding such payment. Upon request, the Registrar shall furnish the
District with appropriate certificates of destruction of such Bonds.

in part, in integral multiples of $5,000, on September 1, 2027, or any date thereafter at par
plus accrued interest on the principal amounts called for redemption to the date fixed for
redemption. If a Bond subject to redemption is in a denomination larger than $5,000, a
portion of such Bond may be redeemed, but only in integral multiples of $5,000. In
selecting portions of Bonds for redemption, the Registrar shall treat each Bond as
representing that number of Bonds of $5,000 denomination which is obtained by dividing
the principal amount of such Bond by $5,000. The Registrar shall select the particular
Bonds to be redeemed within any given maturity by lot or other random selection
method. Upon surrender of any Bond for redemption in part, the Registrar, in accordance
with the provisions of the Resolution, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor
a Bond or Bonds of like maturity and interest rate in an aggregate principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion of the Bond so surrendered. Reference is made to the
Resolution for complete details concerning the manner of redeeming the Bonds.
IN ADDITION TO BEING SUBJECT TO OPTIONAL REDEMPTION, THE
BONDS ISSUED AS TERM BONDS maturing on March 1, in each of the years ______,
______, and _______ (collectively, the "Term Bonds") are subject to mandatory
redemption prior to maturity in the following amounts (subject to reduction as
hereinafter provided), on the following dates ("Mandatory Redemption Dates"), at a price
equal to the principal amount redeemed plus accrued interest to each Mandatory
Redemption Date, subject to the conditions set forth below:

ON OR BEFORE 30 days prior to each Mandatory Redemption Date set forth
above, the Registrar shall (i) determine the principal amount of such Term Bond that must
be mandatorily redeemed on such Mandatory Redemption Date, after taking into account
deliveries for cancellation and optional redemptions as more fully provided for below,
(ii) select, by lot or other customary random method, the Term Bond or portions of the
Term Bond of such maturity to be mandatorily redeemed on such Mandatory
Redemption Date, and (iii) give notice of such redemption as provided in the Bond
Resolution. The principal amount of any Term Bond to be mandatorily redeemed on
such Mandatory Redemption Date shall be reduced by the principal amount of such Term
Bond which, by the 45th day prior to such Mandatory Redemption Date, either has been
purchased in the open market and delivered or tendered for cancellation by or on behalf
of the District to the Registrar or optionally redeemed and which, in either case, has not
previously been made the basis for a reduction under this sentence.
NOTICE OF ANY REDEMPTION shall be given at least 30 days prior to the date
fixed for redemption by first class mail, addressed to the Registered Owner of each Bond
to be redeemed in whole or in part at the address shown on the books of registration kept
by the Registrar. When Bonds or portions thereof have been called for redemption, and
due provision has been made to redeem the same, the principal amounts so redeemed
shall be payable solely from the funds provided for redemption, and interest which
would otherwise accrue on the amounts called for redemption shall terminate on the date
fixed for redemption.

next succeeding interest payment date or to transfer or exchange any Bond called for
redemption during the 30-day period prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Bond.

shall be entitled to a writ of mandamus issued by a court of competent jurisdiction
compelling and requiring the District and the officials thereof to observe and perform the
covenants, obligations or conditions prescribed in this Resolution. Any delay or omission
to exercise any right or power occurring upon any default shall not impair any such
default or acquiescence therein, and every such right and power may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.
27. Federal Income Tax Exclusion.
(a) General. The District intends that the interest on the Bonds shall be
excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to sections 103
and 141 through 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and
the applicable Income Tax Regulations (the “Regulations”). The District covenants and
agrees not to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action within its control, that
if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on the Bonds to be includable
in gross income, as defined in section 61 of the Code, for federal income tax purposes. In
particular, the District covenants and agrees to comply with each requirement of this
Section 27; provided, however, that the District shall not be required to comply with any
particular requirement of this Section 27 if the District has received an opinion of
nationally recognized bond counsel (“Counsel’s Opinion”) that such noncompliance will
not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of
interest on the Bonds or if the District has received a Counsel’s Opinion to the effect that
compliance with some other requirement set forth in this Section 2 7 will satisfy the
applicable requirements of the Code and the Regulations, in which case compliance with
such other requirement specified in such Counsel’s Opinion shall constitute compliance
with the corresponding requirement specified in this Section 27.
(b) No Private Use or Payment and No Private Loan Financing. The District
covenants and agrees that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Bonds including
interest or other investment income derived from Bond proceeds, regulate the use of
property financed, directly or indirectly, with such proceeds, and take such other and
further action as may be required so that the Bonds will not be “private activity bonds”
within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated
thereunder. Moreover, the District shall certify, through an authorized officer, employee
or agent that based upon all facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in
existence on the date the Bonds are delivered, that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be
used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be “private activity bonds” within the
meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(c) No Federal Guarantee. The District covenants and agrees not to take any
action, or knowingly omit to take any action within its control, that, if taken or omitted,
respectively, would cause the Bonds to be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of
section 149(b) of the Code and the applicable Regulations thereunder, except as permit ted
by section 149(b)(3) of the Code and such Regulations.
(d) No Hedge Bonds. The District covenants and agrees that it has not and will
not take any action, and has not knowingly omitted and will not knowingly omit to take
any action, within its control, that, if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the
Bonds to be “hedge bonds” within the meaning of section 149(g) of the Code and the
applicable Regulations thereunder.
(e) No Arbitrage. The District covenants and agrees that it will make such use
of the proceeds of the Bonds including interest or other investment income derived from
Bond proceeds, regulate investments of proceeds of the Bonds, and take such other and
further action as may be required so that the Bonds will not be “arbitrage bonds” within
the meaning of section 148(a) of the Code and the applicable Regulations promulgated
thereunder. Moreover, the District shall certify, through an authorized officer, employee
or agent that based upon all facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in
existence on the date the Bonds are delivered, the District will reasonably expect that the
proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the B onds to be
“arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of section 148(a) of the Code and the applicable
Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(f) Arbitrage Rebate. If the District does not qualify for an exception to the
requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code relating to the required rebate to the United
States, the District will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that
certain amounts earned by the District on the investment of the “gross proceeds” of the
Bonds (within the meaning of section 148(f)(6)(B) of the Code), be rebated to the federal
government. Specifically, the District will (i) maintain records regarding the investment
of the gross proceeds of the Bonds as may be required to calculate the amount earned on
the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds separately from records of amounts on
deposit in the funds and accounts of the District allocable to other bond issue of the
District or moneys which do not represent gross proceeds of any bonds of the District,
(ii) calculate at such times as are required by applicable Regulations, the amount earned
from the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds which is required to be rebated
to the federal government, and (iii) pay, not less often than every fifth anniversary date
of the delivery of the Bonds or on such other dates as may be permitted under applicable
Regulations, all amounts required to be rebated to the federal government. Further, the
District will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the federal government
pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal government
by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of the
Bonds that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal
government because such arrangement results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than
would have resulted if the arrangement had been at arm’s length and had the yield on
the issue not been relevant to either party.
(g) Information Reporting. The District covenants and agrees to file or cause
to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury, not later than the 15th day of the second
calendar month after the close of the calendar quarter in which the Bonds are issued, an
information statement concerning the Bonds, all under and in accordance with section
149(e) of the Code and the applicable Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(h) Continuing Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Resolution, the District’s obligations under the covenants and provisions of this Section
shall survive the defeasance and discharge of the Bonds.
28. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The District hereby designates the
Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes of section 265(b) of the Code.
In connection therewith, the District represents (a) that the aggregate amount of tax -
exempt obligations issued by the District during calendar year 2022, including the Bonds,
which have been designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” under section
265(b)(3) of the Code does not exceed $10,000,000, and (b) that the reasonably anticipated
amount of tax-exempt obligations which will be issued by the District during calendar
year 2022, including the Bonds, will not exceed $10,000,000. For purposes of this Section,
the term “tax-exempt obligation” does not include “private activity bonds” within the
meaning of section 141 of the Code, other than “qualified 501(c)(3) bonds” within the
meaning of section 145 of the Code. In addition, for purposes of this Section the District
includes all governmental units which are aggregated with the District under section
265(b) of the Code.
29. Official Statement. The District ratifies and confirms its prior approval of
the form and content of the Preliminary Official Statement prepared in the initial offering
of the Bonds and hereby authorizes and approves the amendment of the Preliminary
Official Statement to add the terms of the Initial Purchaser’s bid and to make any other
changes necessary to comply with the provisions of this Resolution and existing law. The
use of such final Official Statement in the reoffering of the Bonds by the Initial Purchaser
is hereby approved and authorized. The proper officials of the District are hereby
authorized to execute and deliver a certificate pertaining to such Official Statement as
prescribed therein, dated as of the date of payment for and delivery of the Bonds.

so long as, the District remains an Obligated Person with respect to the Bonds, except that
the District in any event will give the notice required by subsection (b) of this Section of
any Bond calls and defeasance that cause the District to be no longer such an Obligated

PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN
PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE DISTRICT, WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR

to adapt to changed circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements, a
change in law, or a change in the identity, nature, status, or type of operations of the

an underwriter to purchase or sell Bonds in the original primary offering of the Bonds in
compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments and inte rpretations of
the Rule to the date of such amendment, as well as such changed circumstances, and
either the Registered Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount (or any greater
amount required by any other provision of this Resolution that author izes such an
amendment) of the outstanding Bonds consent to such amendment or a Person that is
unaffiliated with the District (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determines
that such amendment will not materially impair the interests of the Regist ered Owners
and beneficial owners of the Bonds. If the District so amends the provisions of this
Section, it shall include with any amended financial information or operating data next
provided in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section an explanat ion, in narrative
form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of
financial information or operating data so provided. The District may also repeal or
amend the provisions of this Section if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable
provisions of the Rule or any court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that such
provisions of the Rule are invalid, but in either case only if and to the extent that its right
to do so would not prevent an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds in
the primary offering of the Bonds.

obligations under this Resolution, the President or Vice President and Secretary or

otherwise provided herein, shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and
assigns whether or not so expressed.
35. Benefits of Resolution Provisions. Nothing in this Resolution or in the
Bonds, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give any person, firm or
corporation, other than the District, the Registrar and the Registered Owners, any legal
