In establishing the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds, the Pricing Officer shall establish an amount not to exceed the amount authorized in Section 3.01, which shall be sufficient to provide for the purposes for which the Bonds are authorized and to pay the costs of issuing the Bonds. (c) To achieve advantageous borrowing costs for the District, the Bonds shall be sold on a negotiated, placement or competitive basis as determined by the Pricing Officer in the Pricing Certificate. In determining whether to sell the Bonds by negotiated, placement or competitive sale, the Pricing Officer shall take into account any material disclosure issues which might exist at the time, the market conditions expected at the time of the sale and any other matters which, in the judgment of the Pricing Officer, might affect the net borrowing costs on the Bonds. If the Pricing Officer determines that the Bonds should be sold at a competitive sale, the Pricing Officer shall cause to be prepared a notice of sale and official statement in such manner 7 as the Pricing Officer deems appropriate, to make the notice of sale and official statement available to those institutions and firms wishing to submit a bid for the Bonds, to receive such bids, and to award the sale of the Bonds to the bidder submitting the best bid in accordance with the provisions of the notice of sale. If the Pricing Officer determines that the Bonds should be sold by a negotiated sale or placement, the Pricing Officer shall designate the placement purchaser or the senior managing underwriter for the Bonds and such additional investment banking firms as the Pricing Officer deems appropriate to assure that the Bonds are sold on the most advantageous terms to the District.

Attached to the Pricing Certificate, if Premium Compound Interest Bonds are to be issued, shall be the Accretion Table. The Accreted Value with respect to any date other than a Compounding Date is the amount set forth on the Accretion Table with respect to the last preceding Compounding Date, plus the portion of the difference between such amount and the amount set forth on the Accretion Table with respect to the next succeeding Compounding Date that the number of days (based on 30-day months) from such last preceding Compounding Date to the date for which such determination is being calculated bears to the total number of days (based on 30-day months) from such last preceding Compounding Date to the next succeeding Compounding Date. SECTION 3.03. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The Registrar is hereby appointed as the paying agent for the Bonds. The principal of the Bonds, shall be payable, without exchange or collection charges, in any coin or currency 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, upon their presentation and surrender as they become due and payable, whether at maturity or by prior redemption in the case of the Bonds, at the office for payment of the Registrar. The interest on each Bond shall be payable on as set forth in the Pricing Certificate by check or draft payable on the Interest Payment Date, mailed by the Registrar on or before each Interest Payment Date to the Registered Owner as shown on the Register on the Record Date or, at the request of a Registered Owner, and at the Registered Owner's risk and expense, in such other manner as may be acceptable to the Registered Owner and the Registrar. Any accrued interest payable at maturity or earlier redemption, in the case of the Bonds, shall be 8 paid upon presentation and surrender of the Bond to which such interest appertains. If the date for payment on any Bond is not a Business Day, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding Business Day, and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the original date payment was due. SECTION 3.04. SUCCESSOR REGISTRARS. The District covenants that at all times while any Bonds are outstanding it will provide a bank, trust company, financial institution or other entity duly qualified and duly authorized to act as Registrar for the Bonds. The District reserves the right to change the Registrar on not less than 30 days written notice to the Registrar, so long as any such notice is effective at such time as to not disrupt payment on 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. SECTION 3.05. 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 5 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. SECTION 3.06. REGISTERED OWNERS. The District, the Registrar 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 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 3.07 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. SECTION 3.07. EXECUTION OF BONDS. The Bonds shall be signed on behalf of the District by the President or Vice-President of the Board of Directors and attested by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, by their manual, lithographed, or facsimile signatures, and the official seal of the District shall be impressed or placed in facsimile thereon. The 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 the 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 appears on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the authentication of such Bonds or before the 9 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. SECTION 3.08. AUTHENTICATION. The Initial Bond shall bear thereon a certificate of registration of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, substantially in the form provided in Section 6.02 of this Bond Order, manually executed by the Comptroller or a duly authorized deputy. All other Bonds shall bear a certificate of authentication, substantially in the form provided in Section 6.03 of this Bond Order, manually executed by an authorized officer of the Registrar. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless either the registration certificate of the Comptroller or the authentication certificate of the Registrar has been signed by a duly authorized officer thereof. ARTICLE FOUR REGISTRATION. TRANSFER. AND EXCHANGE SECTION 4.01. REGISTRATION. TRANSFER, AND EXCHANGE. So long as any Bonds remain Outstanding, the Registrar shall keep at its designated office for payment the Register, in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Registrar shall provide for the registration and transfer of Bonds in accordance with the terms of this Bond Order. Each Bond shall be transferable only upon the presentation and surrender thereof at the designated office for payment of the Registrar, duly endorsed for transfer, or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the Registered Owner or an authorized representative in form satisfactory to the Registrar.

The Bonds are secured by and payable from the levy of a continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax, without legal limitation as to rate or amount, upon all taxable property within the District. SECTION 7.02. LEVY OF TAX, (a) To pay the interest on the Bonds, and to create a sinking fund for the payment of the principal thereof when due, and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such taxes, there is hereby levied, and there shall be assessed and collected in due time, a continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax without limit as to rate or amount on all taxable property in the District for each year while any of the Bonds are outstanding. All of the proceeds of such collections, except expenses incurred in that connection, shall be paid into the Debt Service Fund, and the aforementioned tax and such payments into such fund shall continue until the Bonds and the interest thereon have been fully paid and discharged, and such proceeds shall be used for such purposes and no other. While said Bonds, or any of them, are outstanding and unpaid, an ad valorem tax will be ample and sufficient to provide funds to pay the interest on said Bonds and to provide the necessary sinking fund to pay the principal when due, full allowance being made for delinquencies and costs of collection, together with revenues and receipts from other sources that are legally available for such purpose, shall be levied and collected and applied to the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds, as follows: (1) By September 1 in each year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Board shall consider the taxable property in the District and determine the actual rate per $100 valuation of taxable property which is to be levied in that year and levy the tax against all taxable property in the District. (2) In determining the actual rate to be levied in each year, the Board shall consider among other things: (i) the amount which should be levied for maintenance and operation purposes; 26 (ii) the amount which should be levied for the payment of principal, interest, and redemption price of the bonds or notes payable in whole or in part from taxes; (iii) the amount which should be levied for the purpose of paying all other contractual obligations of the District payable in whole or in part from taxes; and (iv) the percentage of anticipated tax collections and the cost of collecting the taxes. (3) In determining the amount of taxes which should be levied each year, the Board shall consider whether proceeds from the sale of Bonds have been placed in the Debt Service Fund to pay interest on the Bonds and whether the Board reasonably expects to have revenue or receipts available from other sources which are legally available to pay debt service on the Bonds. (b) Chapter 1208, Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Bonds and the pledge of ad valorem taxes granted by the District under this Order, and such pledge is therefore valid, effective and perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge of ad valorem taxes granted by the District under this Order is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the registered owners of the Bonds the perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the District agrees to take such measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing to perfect the security interest in said pledge to occur. SECTION 7.03. PAYMENT OF BONDS AND PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. The District covenants to pay promptly the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due and payable, whether at maturity or by prior redemption, in accordance with the terms of the Bonds and this Bond Order, and to keep and perform faithfully all of its covenants, undertakings, and agreements contained in this Bond Order, or in any Bond executed, authenticated, and delivered hereunder. SECTION 7.04. CONSOLIDATION OR DISSOLUTION OF DISTRICT. To the extent provided by law, the pledge of taxes set forth in Section 7.02 will terminate if a city takes over all properties and assets, assumes all debts, liabilities, and obligations, and performs all functions and services of the District, and the District is abolished pursuant to law. The laws of the State of Texas permit the District to be consolidated with one or more conservation and reclamation districts. In the event the District is consolidated with another district or districts, the District reserves the right to: (i) Consolidate the System with a similar system of one or more districts with which the District is consolidating and operate and maintain the systems as one consolidated system (herein for purposes of this section the "Consolidated System"). 27 (ii) Apply the net revenues from the operation of the Consolidated System to the payment of principal, interest, redemption price and bank charges on the revenue bonds or the combination tax and revenue bonds (herein for purposes of this section the "Revenue Bonds") of the District and of the district or districts with which the District is consolidating (herein collectively the "Consolidating Districts") without preference to any series of bonds (except subordinate lien revenue bonds which shall continue to be subordinate to the first lien Revenue Bonds of the Consolidating Districts). (iii) Pledge the net revenues of the Consolidated System to the payment of principal, interest, redemption price and bank charges on Revenue Bonds which may be issued by the Consolidating Districts on a parity with the outstanding first lien Revenue Bonds of the Consolidating Districts. ARTICLE EIGHT FLOW OF FUNDS AND INVESTMENTS SECTION 8.01. FUNDS. FLOW OF FUNDS. The following funds are hereby created: (i) Debt Service Fund for the Bonds; and (ii) Escrow Fund. Each fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the District. The Debt Service Fund for the Bonds shall constitute a trust fund which shall be held in trust for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds. All other funds shall be trust funds which shall be used solely as provided in this Bond Order until all of the Bonds have been retired, both as to principal and interest. SECTION 8.02. SECURITY OF FUNDS.

The District shall pay fees and charges of the Registrar for its services as paying agent and registrar for the Bonds from the Debt Service Fund. SECTION 8.04. ESCROW FUND. The Escrow Fund shall be created and shall be governed by the terms of the Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B" with such changes as approved by the Pricing Officer. SECTION 8.05. INVESTMENTS: EARNINGS. Moneys deposited into the Debt Service Fund and any other fund or funds which the District may lawfully create may be invested or reinvested in Authorized Investments. All investments and any profits realized from and interest accruing on investments made from any fund may be transferred to the Debt Service Fund. If any moneys are so invested, the District shall have the right to have sold in the open market a sufficient amount of such investments to meet its obligations in the event any fund does not have sufficient uninvested funds on hand to meet the obligations payable out of such fund. After such sale the moneys resulting therefrom shall belong to the fund from which the moneys for such investments were initially taken. The District shall not be responsible to the Registered Owners for any loss arising out of the sale of any investments. ARTICLE NINE APPLICATION OF FUNDS SECTION 9.01. BOND PROCEEDS.

ARTICLE TEN PROVISIONS CONCERNING FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXCLUSION SECTION 10.01. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON THE BONDS, (a) Covenants. The District covenants to take any action necessary to assure, or refrain from any action which would adversely affect, the treatment of the 29 Bonds 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 District covenants as follows: (1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the Refunded Bonds or the projects financed or refinanced 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 of the Bonds or the Refunded Bonds or the projects financed or refinanced therewith are so used, such amounts, whether or not received by the District, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Order or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service on the Bonds, 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 Bonds or the Refunded Bonds or the projects financed or refinanced 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 Bonds (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 Bonds 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 Bonds 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 Bonds, 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 Bonds, other than investment property acquired with ~ (A) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3 years or less or, in the case of a current refunding bond, for a period of 90 days and in the case of an advance refunding bond, for a period of 30 days, (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 Bonds; 30 (7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated as proceeds of the Bonds, as may be necessary, so that the Bonds do not otherwise contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings); and (8) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Bonds) 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 Bonds 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 District 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) Proceeds. The District 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 Bonds. It is the understanding of the District 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 Bonds, the District 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 Bonds 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 Bonds, the District 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 Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the District hereby authorizes and directs the President or Treasurer of the Board of Directors to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the District, which may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Bonds. (d) Disposition of Project. The District covenants that the property constituting the projects refinanced with the proceeds of the Bonds will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the District of cash or other compensation, unless the District obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. 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. 31 For purposes hereof, the District 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) Designation as Qualified Tax-Exempt Bonds. The District hereby designates the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt bonds" as defined in section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In furtherance of such designation, the District represents, covenants and warrants the following: (a) that during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued, the District (including any subordinate entities) has not designated nor will designate bonds, which when aggregated with the Bonds, will result in more than $10,000,000 of "qualified tax-exempt bonds" being issued; (b) that the District reasonably anticipates that the amount of tax-exempt obligations issued, during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued, by the District (or any subordinate entities) will not exceed $10,000,000; and, (c) that the District will take such action or refrain from such action as necessary, and as more particularly set forth in this Section, in order that the Bonds will not be considered "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code. (f) Written Procedures. Unless superseded by another action of the District, to ensure compliance with the covenants contained in this Order regarding private business use, remedial actions, arbitrage and rebate, the District hereby adopts and establishes the instructions attached hereto as Exhibit "E" as its written procedures. ARTICLE ELEVEN ADDITIONAL BONDS AND REFUNDING BONDS SECTION 11.01. ADDITIONAL BONDS.

DEFEASANCE OF BONDS, (a) Any Bond and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased Bond") within the meaning of this Order, except to the extent provided in subsections (c) and (e) of this Section, when payment of the principal of such Bond, plus interest thereon to the due date or dates (whether such due date or dates be by reason of maturity, upon redemption, or otherwise) either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof (including the giving of any required notice of redemption) 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 or a commercial bank or trust company for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to make such payment, (2) Defeasance Securities, certified by an independent public accounting firm of national reputation to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will ensure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide for such payment and when proper arrangements have been made by the District with the Paying Agent/Registrar or a commercial bank or trust company for the payment of its services until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable or (3) any combination of (1) and (2).

Until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Bonds the same as if they had not been defeased, and the District shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Order. (d) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Order, if money or Defeasance Securities have been deposited or set aside with the Paying Agent/Registrar or a commercial bank or trust company pursuant to this Section for the payment of Bonds and such Bonds shall not have in fact been actually paid in full, no amendment of the provisions of this Section shall be made without the consent of the registered owner of each Bond affected thereby. (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) immediately above, to the extent that, upon the defeasance of any Defeased Bond to be paid at its maturity, the District retains the right under Texas law to later call that Defeased Bond for redemption in accordance with the provisions of the order authorizing its issuance, the District may call such Defeased Bond for redemption upon complying with the provisions of Texas law and upon the satisfaction of the provisions of subsection (a) immediately above with respect to such Defeased Bond as though it was being defeased at the time of the exercise of the option to redeem the Defeased Bond and the effect of the redemption is taken into account in determining the sufficiency of the provisions made for the payment of the Defeased Bond.

In addition, interest may be paid by such other method, acceptable to the 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 calendar 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 District.

ANY ACCRUED INTEREST due at maturity or upon the redemption of this Bond prior to maturity as provided herein shall be paid to the Registered Owner upon presentation and surrender of this Bond for payment at the designated office for payment of the Paying Agent/Registrar. The District covenants with the Registered Owner of this Bond that on or before each principal payment date, interest payment date, and any redemption date for this Bond it will make available to the Registrar, from the "Debt Service Fund" the creation of which is affirmed by the Bond Order, the amounts required to provide for the payment, in immediately available funds, of all principal of and interest on the Bonds, when due. IF THE DATE for any payment due on this Bond shall be a Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which the Paying Agent/Registrar is authorized by law or executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not such a Saturday, Sunday, or day on which the Paying Agent/Registrar is authorized by law or executive order to remain closed; C-2 and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the original date payment was due. THIS BOND is one of a series of Bonds dated as of March 1, 2012 and authorized to be issued pursuant to the Bond Order adopted by the Board of Directors of the District in the principal amount of $2,355,000 FOR PURPOSES OF REFUNDING THE REFUNDED BONDS AND PAYING CERTAIN COSTS OF ISSUING THE BONDS. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given in the Bond Order. ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 OR ON ANY DATE THEREAFTER, the Bonds maturing on and after September 1, 2021, may be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, at the option of the District, with funds derived from any available and lawful source, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption as a whole, or from time to time in part, and, if in part, the particular Bonds, or portions thereof, to be redeemed shall be selected and designated by the District, and if less than all of a maturity is to be redeemed the Registrar shall determine by lot the Bonds, or portions thereof within such maturity to be redeemed (provided that a portion of a Bond may be redeemed only in integral multiples of $5,000 of principal amount). AT LEAST 30 calendar days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of Bonds or portions thereof prior to maturity a written notice of such redemption shall be sent by the Registrar by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the Registered Owner of each Bond to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the Register on the 45th calendar day prior to such redemption date and to major securities depositories and bond information services. By the date fixed for any such redemption due provision shall be made with the Registrar for the payment of the required redemption price for the Bonds or portions for which such payment is made, all as provided above. The Bonds or portions thereof which 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 for redemption, and they shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the Registered Owner to receive the redemption price from the Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. If a portion of any Bond shall be redeemed, a substitute Bond or Bonds having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate, in any authorized denomination or denominations, 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 District, all as provided in the Bond Order. WITH RESPECT TO any optional redemption of the Bonds, unless certain prerequisites to such redemption required by the Bond Order have been met and moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to be redeemed shall have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice shall state that said redemption may, at the option of the District, 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, C-3 the District shall not redeem such Bonds and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that the Bonds have not been redeemed. ALL BONDS OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully registered Bonds, without interest coupons, in the principal denomination in the case of the Bonds, of any integral multiple of $5,000. As provided in the Bond Order, this Bond may, at the request of the Registered Owner or the assignee or assignees hereof, be assigned, transferred, converted into and exchanged for a like aggregate amount of fully registered Bonds, without interest coupons, payable to the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, having any authorized denomination or denominations as requested in writing by the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, upon surrender of this Bond to the Registrar for cancellation, all in accordance with the form and procedures set forth in the Bond Order. Among other requirements for such assignment and transfer, this Bond must be presented and surrendered to the Registrar, together with proper instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Registrar, evidencing assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof in any authorized denomination to the assignee or assignees in whose name or names this Bond or any such portion or portions hereof is or are to be registered. The Form of Assignment printed or endorsed on this Bond may be executed by the Registered Owner to evidence the assignment hereof, but such method is not exclusive, and other instruments of assignment satisfactory to the Registrar may be used to evidence the assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof from time to time by the Registered Owner. The Registrar's reasonable standard or customary fees and charges for assigning, transferring, converting and exchanging any Bond or portion thereof will be paid by the District. In any circumstance, any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto shall be paid by the one requesting such assignment, transfer, conversion or exchange, as a condition precedent to the exercise of such privilege. The Registrar shall not be required to make any such transfer, conversion or exchange of any Bond or any portion thereof (i) during the period commencing with the close of business on any Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the next following principal or Interest Payment Date or (ii) within 45 calendar days prior to its redemption date; provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Registered Owner of the unredeemed balance hereof in the event of its redemption in part. WHENEVER the beneficial ownership of this Bond is determined by a book entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, the foregoing requirements of holding, delivering or transferring this Bond shall be modified to require the appropriate person or entity to meet the requirements of the securities depository as to registering or transferring the book entry to produce the same effect. IN THE EVENT any Registrar for the Bonds is changed by the District, resigns, or otherwise ceases to act as such, the District has covenanted in the Bond Order that it promptly will appoint a competent and legally qualified substitute therefor, and cause written notice thereof to be mailed to the Registered Owners of the Bonds. C-4 THE BONDS are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax, without legal limit as to rate or amount, levied upon all taxable property within the District. The Bond Order provides that the District reserves the right to consolidate with one or more conservation and reclamation districts, to consolidate its waterworks and sewer systems with the systems of such districts, and to secure the Bonds and any other bonds of the District or such districts by a pledge of taxes of the consolidated system. The Bond Order further provides that the pledge of taxes, to the payment of the Bonds shall terminate at such time, if ever, as (i) money and/or defeasance obligations in an amount sufficient to defease the Bonds is deposited with or made available to the Registrar in accordance with the Bond Order or (ii) a city dissolves the District, and assumes the obligations of the District pursuant to existing Texas law. THE BONDS are issued pursuant to the Bond Order, whereunder the District covenants to levy a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax, without legal limit as to rate or amount, on taxable property within the District, for each year while any part of the Bonds are considered outstanding under the provisions of the Bond Order, in sufficient amount, together with revenues and receipts available from other sources which are equally available for such purposes, to pay interest on the Bonds as it becomes due, to provide a sinking fund for the payment of the principal of the Bonds when due or the redemption price at any earlier required redemption date with respect to the Bonds, and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such tax, all as more specifically provided in the Bond Order. Reference is hereby made to the Bond Order for provisions with respect to the operation and maintenance of the District's facilities, the custody and application of funds, remedies in the event of a default hereunder or thereunder, and the other rights of the Registered Owners of the Bonds. By acceptance of this Bond the Registered Owner hereof consents to all of the provisions of the Bond Order, a certified copy of which is on file in the office of the District. THE OBLIGATION to pay the principal of and the interest on this Bond is solely and exclusively the obligation of the District until such time, if ever, as the District is abolished and this Bond is assumed as described above. No other entity, including the State of Texas, any political subdivision thereof other than the District, or any other public or private body, is obligated, directly, indirectly, contingently, or in any other manner, to pay the principal of or the interest on this Bond from any source whatsoever. No part of the physical properties of the District, including the properties provided by the proceeds of the Bonds, is encumbered by any lien for the benefit of the Registered Owner of this Bond. THE DISTRICT RESERVES THE RIGHT to issue additional bonds heretofore or hereafter duly authorized at elections held in the District payable from a lien on and pledge of taxes; bonds, notes and other obligations of inferior liens, and revenue bonds, notes and other obligations payable solely from revenues of the District or revenues to be received under contracts with other persons, including private corporations, municipalities and political subdivisions or from any other source. The District further reserves the right to issue refunding bonds in any manner permitted by law to refund any bonds (including the Bonds) at or prior to their respective dates of maturity or redemption. TO THE EXTENT permitted by and in the manner provided in the Bond Order, the terms and provisions of the Bond Order and the rights of the Registered Owners of the Bonds may be C-5 modified with, in certain circumstances, the consent of the Registered Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds affected thereby; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Registered Owners of all of the Bonds affected, no such modification shall (i) extend the time or times of payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, (ii) give any preference to any Bond over any other Bond, or (iii) reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds required for consent to any such modification. THIS BOND shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any benefit under the Bond Order unless this Bond either (a) is registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas as evidenced by execution of the registration certificate endorsed hereon or (b) is authenticated as evidenced by execution of the authentication certificate endorsed hereon by the Registrar. IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, COVENANTED, AND REPRESENTED that all acts, conditions, and things necessary to be done precedent to the issuance of the Bonds in order to render the same legal, valid, and binding obligations of the District have happened and have been accomplished and performed in regular and due time, form, and manner, as required by law; that provision has been made for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds by the levy of a continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax upon all taxable property within the District and that issuance of the Bonds does not exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation. In the event that any provisions herein contained do or would, presently or prospectively, operate to make any part hereof void or voidable, such provisions shall be without effect or prejudice to the remaining provisions hereof, which shall nevertheless remain operative, and such violative provisions, if any, shall be reformed by a court of competent jurisdiction within the limits of the laws of the State of Texas. IT IS FURTHER CERTIFIED that the District has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax- exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given in the Bond Order. ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 OR ON ANY DATE THEREAFTER, the Bonds maturing on and after September 1, 2021, may be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, at the option of the District, with funds derived from any available and lawful source, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption as a whole, or from time to time in part, and, if in part, the particular Bonds, or portions thereof, to be redeemed shall be selected and designated by the District, and if less than all of a maturity is to be redeemed the Registrar shall determine by lot the Bonds, or portions thereof within such maturity to be redeemed (provided that a portion of a Bond may be redeemed only in integral multiples of $5,000 of principal amount).

By the date fixed for any such redemption due provision shall be made with the Registrar for the payment of the required redemption price for the Bonds brportions for which such payment is made, all as provided above. The Bonds or portions thereof which 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 for redemption, and they shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the Registered Owner to receive the redemption price from the Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. If a portion of any Bond shall be redeemed, a substitute Bond or Bonds having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate, in any authorized denomination or,, denominations, 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 District, all as provided in the Bond Order. WITH RESPECT TO any optional redemption of the Bonds, unless certain prerequisites^ such redemption required by the Bond Order have been met and moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to be redeemed shall have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice shall state that said redemption may, at the option of the District, be conditional updntthe 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 *sueh notice of redemption.

ALL BONDS OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully registered Bonds, without interest coupons, in the principal denomination in the case of the Bonds, of any integral multiple of $5,000. As provided in the Bond Order, this Bond may, at the request of the Registered Owner or the assignee or assignees hereof, be assigned, transferred, converted into and exchanged for a like aggregate amount of fully registered Bonds, without interest coupons, payable to the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, having any authorized denomination or denominations as requested in writing by the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, upon surrender of this Bond to the Registrar for cancellation, all in accordance with the form and procedures set forth in the Bond Order. Among other requirements for such assignment and transfer, this Bond must be presented and surrendered to the Registrar, together with proper instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Registrar, evidencing assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof in any authorized denomination to the^assignee or assignees in whose name or names this Bond or any such portion or portions hereof is or are to be registered. The Form of Assignment printed or endorsed on this Bond may be executed by the Registered Owner to evidence the assignment hereof, but such method is not exclusive, and other instruments of assignment satisfactory to the Registrar may be used to evidence the assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof from time to time by the Registered Owner. The Registrar's reasonable standard or customary fees and charges for assigning, transferring, converting and exchanging any Bond or portion thereof will be paid by the District. In any circumstance, any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto shall be paid by the one requesting such assignment, transfer, conversion or exchange, as a condition precedent to the exercise of such privilege. The Registrar shall not be required to make any such transfer, conversion or exchange of any Bond or an\ portion thereof (i) during the period commencing with the close of business on any Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the next following principal or Interest Payment Date or (ii) within 45 calendar days prior to its redemption date; provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Registered Owner of the unredeemed balance hereof in the event of its redemption in part. WHENEVER the beneficial ownership of this Bond is determined by a book entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, the foregoing requirements of holding, delivering or transferring this Bond shall be modified to require the appropriate person or entity to meet the requirements of the securities depository as to registering or transferring the book entry to produce the same effect. IN THE EVENT any Registrar for the Bonds is changed by the District, resigns, or otherwise ceases to act as such, the District has covenanted in the Bond Order that it promptly will appoint a competent and legally qualified substitute therefor, and cause written notice thereof to be mailed to the Registered Owners of the Bonds. THE BONDS are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax, without legal limit as to rate or amount, levied upon all taxable property within the District. The Bond Order provides that the District reserves the right to consolidate with one or more conservation and reclamation districts, to consolidate its waterworks and sewer systems with the systems of such districts, and to secure the Bonds and any other bonds of the District or such districts by a pledge of taxes of the consolidated system. The Bond Order further provides that the pledge of taxes, to the payment of the Bonds shall terminate at such time, if ever, as (i) money and/or defeasance obligations in an amount sufficient to defease the Bonds is deposited with or made available to the Registrar in accordance with the Bond Order or (ii) a city dissolves the District, and assumes the obligations of the District pursuant to existing Texas law. THE BONDS are issued pursuant to the Bond Order, whereunder the District covenants to levy a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax, without legal limit as to rate or amount, on taxable property within the District, for each year while any part of the Bonds are considered outstanding under the provisions of the Bond Order, in sufficient amount, together with revenues and receipts available from other sources which are equally available for such purposes, to pay interest on the Bonds as it becomes due, to provide a sinking fund for the payment of the principal of the Bonds when due or the redemption price at any earlier required redemption date with respect to the Bonds, and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such tax, all as more specifically provided in the Bond Order. Reference is hereby made to the Bond Order for provisions with respect to the operation and maintenance of the District's facilities, the custody and application of funds, remedies in the event of a default hereunder or thereunder, and the other rights of the Registered Owners of the Bonds. By acceptance of this Bond the Registered Owner hereof consents to all of the provisions of the Bond Order, a certified copy of which is on file in the office of the District. THE OBLIGATION to pay the principal of and the interest on this Bond is solely and exclusively the obligation of the District until such lime, if ever, as the District is abolished and this Bond is assumed as described above. No other entity, including the State of Texas, any political subdivision thereof other than the District, or any other public or private body, is obligated, directly, indirectly, contingently, or in any other manner, to pay the principal of or the interest on this Bond from any source whatsoever.

THE DISTRICT RESERVES THE RIGHT to issue additional bonds heretofore or hereafter duly authorized at elections held in the District payable from a lien on and pledge of taxes; bonds, notes and other obligations of inferior liens, and revenue bonds, notes and other obligations payable solely from revenues of the District or revenues to be received under contracts with other persons, including private corporations, municipalities and political subdivisions or from any other source. The District further reserves the right to issue refunding bonds in any manner permitted by law to refund any bonds (including the Bonds) at or prior to their respective dates of maturity or redemption. TO THE EXTENT permitted by and in the manner provided in the Bond Order, the terms and provisions of the Bond Order and the rights of the Registered Owners of the Bonds may be modified with, in certain circumstances, the consent of the Registered Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds affected thereby; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Registered Owners of all of the Bonds affected, no such modification shall (i) extend the time or times of payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, (ii) give any preference to any Bond over any other Bond, or (iii) reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds required for consent to any such modification. THIS BOND shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any benefit under the Bond Order unless this Bond either (a) is registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas as evidenced by execution of the registration certificate endorsed hereon or (b) is authenticated as evidenced by execution of the authentication certificate endorsed hereon by the Registrar. IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, COVENANTED, AND REPRESENTED that all acts, conditions, and things necessary to be done precedent to the issuance of the Bonds in order to render the same legal, valid, and binding obligations of the District hmt happened and have been accomplished and performed in regular and due time, form, and manner, assiKequired by law; that provision has been made for the payment of the principal of and interesfr'on the Bonds by the levy of a continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax upon all taxableaprop^erty within the District and that issuance of the Bonds does not exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation.

Every Security surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, the signature on which has been guaranteed by an officer of a federal or state bank or a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, in form satisfactory to the Bank, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his agent duly authorized in writing.

The Bank may act on facsimile or e-mail transmission of the closing memorandum acknowledged by the Financial Advisor or the Issuer as the final closing memorandum. The Bank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Bank's reliance upon and compliance with such instructions. Section 5.02. Reliance on Documents, Etc. (a) The Bank may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and correctness of the opinions expressed therein, on certificates or opinions furnished to the Bank by the Issuer. (b) The Bank shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proven that the Bank was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. (c) No provisions of this Agreement shall require the Bank to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability for performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against such risks or liability is not assured to it. (d) The Bank may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any Order, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note, security, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing statement, the Bank need not examine the ownership of any Securities, but is protected in acting upon receipt of Securities certificates containing an endorsement or instruction of transfer or power of transfer which appears on its face to be signed by the Holder or an agent of the Holder. The Bank shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in a Order, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note, security, or other paper or document supplied by the Issuer. (e) The Bank may consult with legal counsel, and the written advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to 7 any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon, provided that any such written advice or opinion is supplied to the Issuer by the Bank. (f) The Bank may exercise any of the powers hereunder and perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys of the Bank. Section 5.03. Recitals of Issuer. The recitals contained herein with respect to the Issuer and in the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Bank assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Bank shall in no event be liable to the Issuer, any Holder or Holders of any Security, or any other Person for any amount due on any Security from its own funds. Section 5.04. May Hold Securities. The Bank, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Paying Agent/Registrar, or any other agent. Section 5.05. Moneys Held by Bank. The Bank shall deposit any moneys received from the Issuer into a segregated account to be held by the Bank solely for the benefit of the owners of the Securities to be used solely for the payment of the Securities, with such moneys in the account that exceed the deposit insurance available to the Issuer by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, to be fully collateralized with securities or obligations that are eligible under the laws of the State of Texas to secure and be pledged as collateral for such accounts until the principal and interest on such securities have been presented for payment and paid to the owner thereof. Payments made from such account shall be made by check drawn on such account unless the owner of such Securities shall, at its own expense and risk, request such other medium of payment. Subject to the Unclaimed Property Law of the State of Texas, any money deposited with the Bank for the payment of the principal, premium (if any), or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for three years after the final maturity of the Security has become due and payable will be paid by the Bank to the Issuer if the Issuer so elects, and the Holder of such Security shall hereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Bank with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease. If the Issuer does not elect, the Bank is directed to report and dispose of the funds in compliance with Title Six of the Texas Property Code, as amended. Section 5.06. Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, the Issuer agrees to indemnify the Bank for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the 8 Bank's part, arising out of or in connection with the Bank's acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, including the cost and expense incurred by the Bank in defending against any claim or from liability imposed on the Bank in connection with the Bank's exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement. Section 5.07. Interpleader. The Issuer and the Bank agree that the Bank may seek adjudication of any adverse claim, demand, or controversy over its person as well as funds on deposit, in either a Federal or State District Court located in the Denton or Tarrant County, Texas, and agree that service of process by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the address referred to in Section 6.03 of this Agreement shall constitute adequate service. The Issuer and the Bank further agree that the Bank has the right to file a Bill of Interpleader in any court of competent jurisdiction in Denton or Tarrant County, Texas to determine the rights of any Person claiming any interest herein. Section 5.08. Depository Trust Company Services. It is hereby represented and warranted that, in the event the Securities are otherwise qualified and accepted for "Depository Trust Company" services or equivalent depository trust services by other organizations, the Bank has the capability and, to the extent within its control, will comply with the "Operational Arrangements," effective August 1, 1987, which establishes requirements for securities to be eligible for such type depository trust services, including, but not limited to, requirements for the timeliness of payments and funds availability, transfer turnaround time, and notification of redemptions and calls.

In the Bond Order, the District delegated pricing of the Bonds and certain other matters to a "Pricing Officer" who will approve a "Pricing Certificate" which will contain the final terms of sale and will complete the sale of the Bonds (the Bond Order and the Pricing Certificate are jointly referred to herein as the "Order"). (See "THE BONDS - Authority for Issuance" herein.)

In the Bond Order, the District delegated pricing of the Bonds and certain other matters to a "Pricing Officer" who will approve a "Pricing Certificate" which will contain the final terms of sale and will complete the sale of the Bonds (the Bond Order and the Pricing Certificate are jointly referred to herein as the "Order"). (See "THE BONDS - Authority for Issuance" herein.) Security for Payment The Bonds, when issued, will constitute direct and general obligations of the District, payable from the proceeds of an annual ad valorem tax levied against all taxable property located therein, without limitation as to rate or amount. Neither the State of Texas, Denton or Tarrant Counties, Texas nor any political subdivision or municipality, other than the District shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Texas or Denton or Tarrant Counties, Texas or any political subdivisions or municipality thereof, other than the District, is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on or the redemption price of the Bonds.

The CABs are not subject to redemption prior to maturity. Tax Matters In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the interest on the Bonds will be excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for purposes of federal income taxation under existing law subject to matters discussed herein under "TAX MATTERS", including the alternative minimum tax on corporations.

The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the terms and provisions of an order (the "Bond Order") of the Board of Directors of the District (the "Board") and in accordance with the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas (the "State"), including particularly Chapter 1207, Texas Government Code, as amended ("Chapter 1207"). In the Bond Order, the District delegated pricing of the Bonds and certain other matters to a "Pricing Officer" who will approve a "Pricing Certificate" which will contain the final terms of sale and will complete the sale of the Bonds (the Bond Order and the Pricing Certificate are jointly referred to herein as the "Order"). (See "THE BONDS - Security for Payment" herein.) Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this Preliminary Official Statement have the same meaning assigned to such terms in the Order. Included in this Preliminary Official Statement are descriptions of the Bonds, the Order, and certain information about the District and its finances. ALL DESCRIPTIONS OF DOCUMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE SUMMARIES ONLY AND ARE QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO EACH SUCH DOCUMENT. Copies of such documents may be obtained from the District or Financial Advisor. PLAN OF FINANCING Purpose Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds are being used to (i) refund for debt service savings the District's outstanding Unlimited Tax Bonds, Series 2002 (the "Refunded Bonds") (see "Schedule I - Schedule Of Refunded Bonds" attached hereto) and (ii) to pay the costs related to the issuance of the Bonds. Refunded Bonds A description and identification of the Refunded Bonds appears in Schedule I attached hereto. The Refunded Bonds, and interest due thereon, are to be paid on September 1, 2012* (the "Redemption Date"), from funds to be deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas (the "Escrow Agent") or its successor. The Order approves and authorizes the execution of an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") between the District and the Escrow Agent. The Order provides that, from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds received from the Underwriter, the District will deposit the amount necessary, together with other available funds, if any, to accomplish the discharge and final payment of the Refunded Bonds on the Redemption Date. Such funds will be held uninvested by the Escrow Agent pending their disbursement to redeem the Refunded Bonds on the Redemption Date. The Escrow Agent, as the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds, will determine and certify at the time of delivery of the Bonds that the amounts deposited to the Escrow Fund will equal an amount sufficient to pay, on the scheduled redemption date, the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds. Under the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Fund is irrevocably pledged to the payment of principal of and interest on the Refunded Obligations and amounts therein will not be available to pay the Bonds. By deposit of the funds with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the District will have effected the defeasance of all of the Refunded Bonds in accordance with Texas law. As a result of such defeasance, the Refunded Bonds will be outstanding only for the purpose of receiving payments from the funds held for such purpose by the Escrow Agent and such Refunded Bonds will not be deemed as being outstanding obligations of the District payable from taxes nor for the purpose of applying any limitation on the issuance of debt, and the obligation of the District to make payments in support of the debt service on the Refunded Bonds will be extinguished. * Preliminary, subject to change. 1 SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be applied approximately as follows: Sources of Funds Par Amount of Bonds Accrued Interest on the CIBs Original Issue Premium Total Sources of Funds Uses of Funds Deposit to Escrow Fund Cost of Issuance (Including Bond Insurance, if applicable) Underwriter's Discount Accrued Interest Deposit to Interest & Sinking Fund Additional Proceeds Deposit to the Debt Service Fund Total Uses of Funds THE BONDS General Description The Bonds are being issued in part as Current Interest Bonds ("CIBs") and in part as Premium Capital Appreciation Bonds ("CABs"). The CIBs will be issued in fully registered form in principal denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof within a stated maturity, and the CABs will be issued as fully registered certificates in denominations of $5,000 representing the total amount of principal, plus the initial premium, if any, therefor and accrued interest payable upon maturity (the "Maturity Amount"), or any integral multiple thereof for a Maturity Amount. The CIBs shall bear interest from the March 1, 2012 on the unpaid principal amounts, and the amount of interest to be paid each payment period shall be computed on the basis of a 360- day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the CIBs will be payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year commencing September 1, 2012, until maturity or prior redemption. Interest on the CABs will accrete from the date they are initially delivered to the Underwriter and such interest will compound on March 1 and September 1 of each year (each an "Accretion Date") commencing September 1, 2012, and be payable only upon maturity, as described in the Order, and will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Principal of the CIBs and Maturity Amounts of the CABs is payable at the designated offices of the Paying Agent/Registrar, initially The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas; provided, however, that so long as Cede & Co. (or other DTC nominee) is the registered owner of the Bonds, all payments will be made as described under "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein. Interest on the CIBs shall be paid to the registered owners whose names appear on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the Record Date (as hereinafter defined) and shall be paid by the Paying Agent/Registrar (i) by check sent United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address of the registered owner recorded in the Security Register or (ii) by such other method, acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar, requested by, and at the risk and expense of, the registered owner. If the date for any payment on the Bonds shall be a Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday or a day when banking institutions in the city where the designated payment/transfer office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized to be closed, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not such a day, and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the date payment was due. Yield on Premium Capital Appreciation Bonds The approximate yields of the CABs as set forth on page ii of this Official Statement are the approximate yields based upon the initial offering prices therefor set forth on page ii of this Official Statement. Such offering price includes the principal amount of such CABs plus premium, if any, equal to the amount by which such offering price exceeds the principal amount of such CABs. The yield on the CABs to a particular purchaser may differ depending upon the price paid by that purchaser. For various reasons, securities that do not pay interest periodically, such as the CABs, have traditionally experienced greater price fluctuations in the secondary market than securities that pay interest on a periodic basis. Authority for Issuance The Bonds are issued by the District pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Order and the Constitution and general laws of the State, particularly Chapter 1207. Security for Payment The Bonds will constitute valid and legally binding direct obligations of the District payable from the proceeds of a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax levied by the District against all taxable property located therein, without legal limit as to rate or amount. The Order irrevocably pledges such ad valorem taxes to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds while the same remain outstanding. Neither the State of Texas, Denton or Tarrant Counties, Texas nor any political subdivision 2 or municipality, other than the District shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Texas or Denton or Tarrant Counties, Texas or any political subdivision or municipality thereof, other than the District, is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on or the redemption price of the Bonds. Tax Pledge: The Board covenants in the Order that, while any of the Bonds are outstanding and the District is in existence, it will levy and assess a continuing ad valorem tax upon each $100 valuation of taxable property within the District at a rate from year to year sufficient, full allowance being made for anticipated delinquencies, together with revenues and receipts from other sources which are legally available for such purposes, to pay interest on the Bonds as it becomes due, to provide for the payment of principal of the Bonds when due or the redemption price at any earlier redemption date, to pay when due any other contractual obligations of the District payable in whole or in part from taxes, and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such tax. The Board additionally covenants in the Order to timely assess and collect such tax. The net proceeds from taxes levied to pay debt service on the Bonds are required to be placed in a special account of the District designated as the "Debt Service Fund" for the Bonds. Abolition: Under Texas law, If a district is located wholly in two or more municipalities and in an unincorporated area, the district may be abolished by agreement among the district and all of the municipalities in which parts of the district are located. The abolition agreement must provide for the distribution of assets and liabilities (including the Bonds) of the abolished district. The agreement must also provide for the distribution among one or more of the municipalities the pro rata assets and liabilities located in the unincorporated area and must provide for service to customers in unincorporated areas in the service area of the abolished district. The municipality that provides the service in the unincorporated area may charge its usual and customary fees and assessments to the customers in that area. No representation is made concerning the likelihood of abolition or the ability of the municipalities which contain parts of the District to make debt service payments on the Bonds should abolition occur. Consolidation: A district (such as the District) has the legal authority to consolidate with other municipal utility districts and in connection therewith, to provide for the consolidation of its assets, such as cash and the utility system, with the water and wastewater systems of districts with which it is consolidating as well as its liabilities (which would include the Bonds). The District is the resulting entity from a consolidation in May 2009 of Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 (see "THE DISTRICT"). Payment Record The District has never defaulted on the timely payment of principal of and interest on its general obligation indebtedness. Flow of Funds and Investment of Funds The Bond Order creates a Debt Service Fund. The Debt Service Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the District. Any cash balance in the Debt Service Fund must be continuously secured, to the extent that the United States or an instrumentality of the United States does not insure the cash balance, by a valid pledge to the District of securities eligible under the laws of Texas to secure the funds of municipal utility districts having an aggregate market value, exclusive of accrued interest, at all times equal to the cash balance in the fund to which such securities are pledged. The Bond Order establishes the Debt Service Fund to be used to pay principal and interest on the Bonds. The Bond Order requires that the District deposit to the credit of the Debt Service Fund (i) from the delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser, the amount received from proceeds of the Bonds representing accrued interest, (ii) District ad valorem taxes (and penalties and interest thereon) levied to pay debt service requirements on the Bonds, and (iii) such other funds as the Board shall, at its option, deem advisable. The Bond Order requires that the Debt Service Fund be applied solely to provide for the payment of the principal or redemption price of and interest on the Bonds when due, and to pay fees to the Paying Agent when due. Redemption Provisions Optional Redemption: The District reserves the right, at its option, to redeem the CIBs maturing on and after September 1, 2021 on September 1, 2020, or any date thereafter, in whole or in part, in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (and, if within a stated maturity, selected at random and by lot by the Paying Agent/Registrar), at the redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to a redemption date for the CIBs, the District shall cause a notice of such redemption to be sent by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the registered owners of each CIB or a portion thereof to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice. With respect to any optional redemption of the CIBs, unless certain prerequisites to such redemption required by the Order have been met and money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the CIBs to be redeemed will have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice will state that said redemption may, at the option of the District, 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 3 redemption or upon any prerequisite set forth in such notice of redemption. If a conditional notice of redemption is given and such prerequisites to the redemption are not fulfilled, such notice will be of no force and effect, the District will not redeem such CIBs, and the Paying Agent/Registrar will give notice in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that such CIBs have not been redeemed. ANY NOTICE OF REDEMPTION SO MAILED TO THE REGISTERED OWNERS WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN DULY GIVEN IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER RECEIVED BY ANY HOLDER OF THE CIBS, AND, SUBJECT TO PROVISION FOR PAYMENT OF THE REDEMPTION PRICE HAVING BEEN MADE, AND ANY PRECONDITIONS STATED IN THE NOTICE OF REDEMPTION HAVING BEEN SATISFIED INTEREST ON THE REDEEMED CIBS SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE FROM AND AFTER SUCH REDEMPTION DATE NOTWITHSTANDING THAT A CIB HAS NOT BEEN PRESENTED FOR PAYMENT. 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 CIBs or portions thereof which are to be so redeemed. If such notice of redemption is given and if due provision for such payment is made, all as provided above, the CIBs or portion thereof which are to be redeemed thereby automatically shall be treated as redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, and they shall not bear interest after the date fixed for redemption, and they shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the registered owner to receive the redemption price from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. The Paying Agent/Registrar and the Issuer, so long as a Book-Entry-Only System is used for the Bonds, will send any notice of redemption, notice of proposed amendment to the Bonds or other notices with respect to the Bonds only to DTC. Any failure by DTC to advise any DTC participant, or of any DTC participant or indirect participant to notify the Beneficial Owner, will not affect the validity of the redemption of the CIBs called for redemption or any other action premised on any such notice. Redemption of portions of the CIBs by the Issuer will reduce the outstanding principal amount of such CIBs held by DTC. In such event, DTC may implement, through its Book-Entry-Only System, a redemption of such CIBs held for the account of DTC participants in accordance with its rules or other agreements with DTC participants and then DTC participants and indirect participants may implement a redemption of such CIBs from the Beneficial Owners. Any such selection of CIBs to be redeemed will not be governed by the Order and will not be conducted by the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent/Registrar will have any responsibility to DTC participants, indirect participants or the persons for whom DTC participants act as nominees, with respect to the payments on the Bonds or the providing of notice to DTC participants, indirect participants, or Beneficial Owners of the selection of portions of the Bonds for redemption. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.) Termination of Book-Entry-Only System The District is initially utilizing the book-entry-only system of the DTC. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.) In the event that the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued by DTC or the District, the following provisions will be applicable to the Bonds. Payment: Principal of the CIBs will be payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption and the Maturity Amount of the CABs will be payable at maturity to the registered owners as shown by the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds to the Paying Agent at the designated office for payment of the Paying Agent/Registrar in Dallas, Texas (the "Designated Payment/Transfer Office"). Interest on the CIBs will be payable by check or draft, dated as of the applicable interest payment date, sent by the Paying Agent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the registered owners at their respective addresses shown on such records, or by such other method acceptable to the Paying Agent requested by registered owner at the risk and expense of the registered owner. If the date for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds shall be a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day on which banking institutions in the city where the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent is located are required or authorized by law or executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day on which banking institutions are required or authorized to close, and payment on such date shall for all purposes be deemed to have been made on the original date payment was due. Initially, the only registered owner of the Bonds will be CEDE & CO. as nominee of DTC. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.) Registration: The Bonds may be transferred and re-registered on the registration books of the Paying Agent only upon presentation and surrender thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office. A Bond also may be exchanged for a Bond or Bonds of like maturity and interest and having a like aggregate principal amount or Maturity Amount, as the case may be, upon presentation and surrender at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office. All Bonds surrendered for transfer or exchange must be endorsed for assignment by the execution by the registered owner or his duly authorized agent of an assignment form on the Bonds or other instruction of transfer acceptable to the Paying Agent. Transfer and exchange of Bonds will be without expense or service charge to the registered owner, except for any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. A new Bond or Bonds, in lieu of the Bond being transferred or exchanged, will be delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the registered owner, at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar or by United States mail, first-class, postage prepaid. To the extent possible, new Bonds issued in an exchange or transfer of Bonds will be delivered to the registered owner not more than three (3) business days after the receipt of the Bonds to be canceled in the exchange or transfer and the denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein for a description of the system to be initially utilized in regard to ownership and transferability of the Bonds.) Limitations on Transfer of Bonds: Neither the District nor the Paying Agent shall be required to make any transfer, conversion or exchange to an assignee of the registered owner of the CIBs (i) during the period commencing on the close of business on the 15th calendar day of the month preceding each interest payment date (the "Record Date") and ending with the opening of business on the 4 next following principal or interest payment date or (ii) with respect to any CIB called for redemption, in whole or in part, within forty- five (45) days of the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, such limitation of transfer shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled balance of a CIB. Replacement Bonds: If a Bond is mutilated, the Paying Agent will provide a replacement Bond in exchange for the mutilated bond. If a Bond is destroyed, lost or stolen, the Paying Agent will provide a replacement Bond upon (i) the filing by the registered owner with the Paying Agent of evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent of the destruction, loss or theft of the Bond and the authenticity of he registered owner's ownership and (ii) the furnishing to the Paying Agent of indemnification in an amount satisfactory to hold the District and the Paying Agent harmless. All expenses and charges associated with such indemnity and with the preparation, execution and delivery of a replacement Bond must be borne by the registered owner. The provisions of the Order relating to the replacement Bonds are exclusive and the extent lawful, preclude all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds. Defeasance of Outstanding Bonds The Order provides for the defeasance of the Bonds when payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on Bonds, plus interest thereon to the due date thereof (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, redemption, or otherwise), is provided by irrevocably depositing with a paying agent, in trust (1) money sufficient to make such payment or (2) Defeasance Securities, certified by an independent public accounting firm of national reputation to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times to insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to make such payment, and all necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of the paying agent for the respective series of Bonds. The Order provides that "Defeasance Securities" means (1) direct, noncallable obligations of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, (2) noncallable obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent, (3) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent and (4) any other then authorized securities or obligations under applicable Texas state law that may be used to defease obligation such as the Bonds. There is no assurance that the current law will not be changed in a manner which would permit investments other than those described above to be made with amounts deposited to defease the Bonds. Because the Order does not contractually limit such investments, registered owners will be deemed to have consented to defeasance with such other investments, notwithstanding the fact that such investments may not be of the same investment quality as those currently permitted under State law. There is no assurance that any particular rating for U.S. Treasury securities used as Government Securities or the rating for any other Government Security will be maintained at any particular rating category. The District has additionally reserved the right, subject to satisfying the requirements of (1) and (2) above, to substitute other Defeasance Securities for the Defeasance Securities originally deposited, to reinvest the uninvested moneys on deposit for such defeasance and to withdraw for the benefit of the District moneys in excess of the amount required for such defeasance. Upon such deposit as described above, such Bonds shall no longer be regarded to be outstanding or unpaid. After firm banking and financial arrangements for the discharge and final payment or redemption of the Bonds have been made as described above, all rights of the District to initiate proceedings to call the CIBs for redemption or take any other action amending the terms of the Bonds are extinguished; provided, however, that the right to call the CIBs for redemption is not extinguished if the District: (i) in the proceedings providing for the firm banking and financial arrangements, expressly reserves the right to call the CIBs for redemption; (ii) gives notice of the reservation of that right to the owners of the CIBs immediately following the making of the firm banking and financial arrangements; and (iii) directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorize. Paying Agent/Registrar Principal of and semiannual interest on the CIBs and the Maturity Amount of the CABs will be paid by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas, the initial Paying Agent/Registrar (the "Paying Agent"). The Paying Agent must be a bank, trust company, financial institution or other entity duly qualified and equally authorized to serve and perform the duties as paying agent and registrar for the Bonds. Provision is made in the Order for the District to replace the Paying Agent by a resolution of the District giving notice to the Paying Agent of the termination of the appointment, stating the effective date of the termination and appointing a successor Paying Agent. If the Paying Agent is replaced by the District, the new Paying Agent shall be required to accept the previous Paying Agent's records and act in the same capacity as the previous Paying Agent. Any successor paying agent/registrar selected by the District shall be subject to the same qualification requirements as the Paying Agent. The successor paying agent/registrar, if any, shall be determined by the Board of Directors and written notice thereof, specifying the name and address of such successor paying agent/registrar will be sent by the District or the successor paying agent/registrar to each Registered Owner by first-class mail, postage prepaid. Record Date The record date for payment of the interest on Bonds on any regularly scheduled interest payment date is defined as the fifteenth day of the month preceding such interest payment date. 5 Issuance of Additional Debt The District may issue bonds necessary to construct waterworks and sewer system improvements and facilities for which the District was created and to provide fire protection to the District, with the approval of the District's voters. Following the issuance of the Bonds, $5,769,217 unlimited tax bonds authorized by the District's voters will remain unissued. The District has no plans to issue additional general obligation debt within the next twelve months. In addition, voters may authorize the issuance of additional bonds or other contractual obligations secured by ad valorem taxes. Neither Texas law nor the Order imposes a limitation on the amount of additional debt which may be issued by the District. Any additional debt issued by the District may dilute the security of the Bonds. (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS" herein.) The District may also issue bonds secured by revenues of the water and sewer system or other revenues of the District (other than ad valorem tax revenues ) without voter approval. Specific Tax Covenants In the Order the District has covenanted with respect to, among other matters, the use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the property re-financed therewith by persons other than state or local governmental units, and the manner in which the proceeds of the Bonds are to be invested. The District may cease to comply with any such covenant if it has received a written opinion of a nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under Section 103 of the Code. Additional Covenants The District has additionally covenanted in the Order that it will keep accurate records and accounts and employ an independent certified public accountant to audit and report on its financial affairs at the close of each fiscal year, such audits to be in accordance with applicable law, rules and regulations and open to inspection in the office of the District. Remedies in Event of Default The Order provides that, in addition to all other rights and remedies of any owner of Bonds provided by the laws of the State of Texas, in the event the District defaults in the observance or performance of any covenant in the Order including payment when due of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, any Bond owner may apply for a writ of mandamus from a court of competent jurisdiction requiring the Board of Directors or other officers of the District to observe or perform such covenants. The Order provides no additional remedies to a Bond owner. Specifically, the Order does not provide for an appointment of a trustee to protect and enforce the interests of the Bond owners or for the acceleration of maturity of the Bonds upon the occurrence of a default in the District's obligations. Consequently, the remedy of mandamus is a remedy, which may have to be enforced from year to year by the Bond owners (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Registered Owners' Remedies".). Under Texas law, no judgment obtained against the District may be enforced by execution of a levy against the District's public purpose property. The Bond owners themselves cannot foreclose on property within the District or sell property within the District in order to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds. In addition, the enforceability of the rights and remedies of the Bond owners may be limited by federal bankruptcy laws or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions. (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights".) The opinion of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the Order and the Bonds are qualified to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors Amendments to the Order The District may without the consent of or notice to any Bond owners amend the Order in any manner not detrimental to the interest of the Bond owners, including the curing of an ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal defect or omission therein. In addition, the District may, with the written consent of the owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding affected thereby, amend, add to, or rescind any of the provisions of the Order, except that, without the consent of the owners of all of the Bonds affected, no such amendment, addition, or rescission may (1) change the time or times of payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, change the place or places at, or the coin or currency in which, any Bond or the interest thereon is payable, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, (2) affect the right of the owners of less than all of the Bonds outstanding, or (3) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Bonds required for consent to any such amendment, addition, or rescission. In addition, a state, consistent with federal law, may in the exercise of its police powers make such modifications in the terms and conditions of contractual covenants relating to the payment of indebtedness of its political subdivisions as are reasonable and necessary for attainment of an important public purpose. RATINGS In connection with the sale of the Bonds, The District has made application to Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC business ("S&P") for a municipal bond rating on the Bonds. The District currently has an underlying rating of "AA-" from S&P. An explanation of the significance of a rating may be obtained from the company furnishing 6 the rating. The rating reflects only the respective view of such companies, and the District makes no representation as to the appropriateness of the rating. There is no assurance that such rating will continue for any given period of time or that it will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by any such rating company, if, in the judgment of such company circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. BOND INSURANCE The Issuer has made application to municipal bond insurance companies to have the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds insured by a municipal bond insurance policy. The Issuer shall notify the Underwriter upon obtaining a commitment from a municipal bond insurance company concerning this matter. The final Official Statement shall disclose, to the extent necessary, any relevant information relating to any such municipal bond insurance policy. BOND INSURANCE RISK FACTORS General If a commitment from a bond insurance company (the "Insurer") to provide a municipal bond insurance policy relating to the Bonds (the "Policy") is obtained, the final Official Statement shall disclose certain information relating to the Insurer and the Policy. The purchase of such insurance, if available, and the payment of all associated costs will be at the option and expense of the District. If the District chooses to purchase the Policy, the following risk factors related to municipal bond insurance policies generally apply. In the event of default of the scheduled payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds when all or a portion thereof becomes due, any owner of the Bonds shall have a claim under the Policy for such payments. The payment of principal and interest in connection with mandatory or optional prepayment of the Bonds by the District which is recovered by the District from the registered owner as a voidable preference under applicable bankruptcy law is covered by the Policy; however, such payments will be made by the Insurer at such time and in such amounts as would have been due absent such prepayment by the District (unless the Insurer chooses to pay such amounts at an earlier date). Payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds is not subject to acceleration, but other legal remedies upon the occurrence of non-payment do exist (see "THE BONDS - Default and Remedies"). The Insurer may reserve the right to direct the pursuit of available remedies, and, in addition, may reserve the right to consent to any remedies available to and requested by the registered owners. In the event the Insurer is unable to make payment of principal and interest as such payments become due under the Policy, the Bonds are payable solely from the ad valorem tax levied on all taxable property located within the District. In the event the Insurer becomes obligated to make payments with respect to the Bonds, no assurance is given that such event will not adversely affect the market price or the marketability (liquidity) of the Bonds. If a Policy is acquired, the long-term ratings on the Bonds will be dependent in part on the financial strength of the Insurer and its claims-paying ability. The Insurer's financial strength and claims paying ability are predicated upon a number of factors which could change over time. No assurance can be given that the long-term ratings of the Insurer and of the ratings on the Bonds, whether or not subject to a Policy, will not be subject to downgrade and such event could adversely affect the market price or the marketability (liquidity) for the Bonds. See the disclosure described in "BOND INSURANCE RISK FACTORS - Claims-Paying Ability and Financial Strength of Municipal Bond Insurers" herein. The obligations of the Insurer under a Policy are general obligations of the Insurer and in an event of default by the Insurer, the remedies available may be limited by applicable bankruptcy law. None of the District, the Financial Advisor or the Underwriter has made independent investigation into the claims-paying ability of any Insurer and no assurance or representation regarding the financial strength or projected financial strength of any Insurer is given. Claims-Paying Ability and Financial Strength of Municipal Bond Insurers Moody's Investor Services, Inc., Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC business and Fitch Ratings (the "Rating Agencies") have, over the last several years, downgraded and/or placed on negative watch the claims- paying and financial strength of most providers of municipal bond insurance. Additional downgrades or negative changes in the rating outlook for all bond insurers are possible. In addition, recent events in the credit markets have had substantial negative effects on the bond insurance business. These developments could be viewed as having a material adverse effect on the claims-paying ability of such bond insurers, including any bond insurer of the Bonds. Thus, when making an investment decision, potential investors should carefully consider the ability of the District to pay principal and interest on the Bonds and the claims-paying ability of any such bond insurer, particularly over the life of the Bonds. BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM This section describes how ownership of the Bonds is to be transferred and how the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds are to be paid to and credited by the Depository Trust Company while the Bonds are registered in its nominee's name. The information in this section concerning DTC and the Book-Entry-Only System has been provided by DTC for use in disclosure documents such as this Official Statement. The District and the Underwriter believe the source of such information to be reliable, but take no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. 7 The District and the Underwriter cannot and do not give any assurance the (1) DTC will distribute payments of debt service on the Bonds, or redemption or other notices, to DTC Participant, (2) DTC Participants or others will distribute debt service payments paid to DTC or its nominee (as the registered owner of the Bonds), or redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that they will do so on a timely basis, or (3) DTC will serve and act in the manner described in this Official Statement. The cun-ent rules applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the current procedures of DTC to be followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on file with DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount or Maturity Amount of each maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation", within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of certificated securities. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC is rated "AA-" by Standard & Poor's. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org. Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of Bonds ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive Bonds representing their ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of the notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the CIBs within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the Record Date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar, on the payable date in accordance with their 8 respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC nor its nominee, the Paying Agent/Registrar, or the Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of the Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Bonds are required to be printed and delivered to DTC Participants or the Beneficial Owners, as the case may be. The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bonds will be printed and delivered. (See "THE BONDS - Termination of Book-Entry-Only System" herein.) The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the Issuer and Underwriter believe to be reliable, but the Issuer and the Underwriter take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections of this Official Statement In reading this Official Statement it should be understood that while the Bonds are in the Book-Entry-Only System, references in other sections of this Official Statement to registered owners should be read to include the person for which the Direct or Indirect Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds, but (i) all rights of ownership must be exercised through DTC and the Book-Entry- Only System, and (ii) except as described above, notices that are to be given to registered owners under the Order will be given only to DTC. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS General The Bonds are obligations of the District and are not obligations of the Town of Trophy Club, State of Texas, Denton County, Tarrant County or any other political subdivision except the District. The Bonds are payable from a continuing, direct, annual ad valorem tax, without legal limitations as to rate or amount, on all taxable property within the District. (See "THE BONDS - Security for Payment" herein.) The investment quality of the Bonds depends both on the ability of the District to collect from the property owners all taxes levied against their property or, in the event of foreclosure, the value of the taxable property with respect to taxes levied by the District and by other taxing authorities. Approval of the Bonds The Attorney General of Texas must approve the legality of the Bonds prior to their delivery. The Attorney General of Texas does not pass upon or guarantee the quality of the Bonds as an investment, nor does he pass upon the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this Official Statement. Factors Affecting Taxable Values and Tax Payments Economic Factors and Interest Rates: A substantial percentage of the taxable value of the District results from the current market value of single-family residences and developed lots. The market value of such homes and lots is related to general economic conditions affecting the demand for and taxable value of residences. Demand for lots and residential dwellings can be significantly affected by factors such as interest rates, credit availability, construction costs, energy availability and the prosperity and demographic characteristics of the urban center toward which the marketing of lots is directed. Decreased levels of construction activity, which has been experienced in the District for the last several years, tend to restrict the growth of property values in the District or could adversely impact existing values. Interest rates and the availability of mortgage and development funding have a direct impact on the construction activity, particularly short-term interest rates at which developers and homebuilders are able to obtain financing for development and construction costs. Interest rate levels may affect the ability of a landowner with undeveloped property to undertake and complete development activities within the District. Because of the numerous and changing factors affecting the availability of funds, the District is unable to assess the future availability of such funds for continued development and construction within the District. In addition, the success of development within the District and growth of District's taxable property values are, to a great extent, a function of the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan and regional economics. Impact on District Tax Rates: Assuming no further development, the value of the land and improvements currently within the District will be the major determinant of the ability or willingness of District property owners to pay their taxes. The 2011 certified net taxable assessed valuation (ARB Approved) of the District (see page vii "SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION") is $954,645,475. After issuance of the Bonds the projected maximum annual debt service requirement will be $866,994* (2012) 9 and the projected average annual debt service requirement will be $471,485* (2012 through 2031, inclusive). Assuming no increase or decrease from the 2011 assessed valuation and no use of funds on hand, a tax rate of $0.09174* per $100 assessed valuation at a 99% collection rate would be necessary to pay the projected maximum annual debt service requirement of $866,994* and a tax rate of $0.04989* per $100 assessed valuation at a 99% collection rate would be necessary to pay the projected average annual debt service requirement of $471,485*. After a transfer of $308,000, representing Fire Department rental income, the District's 2011 debt service tax rate is $0.05586 per $100 assessed valuation. (See "APPENDIX A - TABLES 4 and 5" herein. Tax Collections and Foreclosure Remedies The District's ability to make debt service payments may be adversely affected by its inability to collect ad valorem taxes. Under Texas law, the levy of ad valorem taxes by the District constitutes a lien in favor of the District on a parity with the liens of all other state and local taxing authorities on the property against which taxes are levied, and such lien may be enforced by foreclosure. The District's ability to collect ad valorem taxes through such foreclosure may be impaired by (a) cumbersome, time-consuming and expensive collection procedures, (b) a bankruptcy court's stay of tax collection procedure against a taxpayer, or (c) market conditions limiting the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of taxable property. While the District has a lien on taxable property within the District for taxes levied against such property, such lien can be foreclosed only in a judicial proceeding. Because ownership of the land within the District is highly fragmented among a number of taxpayers, attorney's fees, and other costs of collecting any such taxpayer's delinquencies could substantially reduce the net proceeds to the District from a tax foreclosure sale. Finally, any bankruptcy court with jurisdiction over the bankruptcy proceedings initiated by or against a taxpayer within the District pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code could stay any attempt by the District to collect delinquent ad valorem taxes against such taxpayer. Consolidation A district (such as the District) has the legal authority to consolidate with other municipal utility districts and, in connection therewith, to provide for the consolidation of its assets, such as its water and wastewater systems with the assets of the district(s) with which it is consolidating, as well as its liabilities (which would include the Bonds and other outstanding obligations of the District). The District is the resulting entity from a consolidation in May 2009 of Prior MUD 1 and Prior MUD 2 (see "THE DISTRICT"). No representation is made that the District will consolidate again in the future with any other district. Abolition Under Texas law, If a district is located wholly in two or more municipalities and in an unincorporated area, the district may be abolished by agreement among the district and all of the municipalities in which parts of the district are located. The abolition agreement must provide for the distribution of assets and liabilities (including the Bonds) of the abolished district. The agreement must also provide for the distribution among one or more of the municipalities the pro rata assets and liabilities located in the unincorporated area and must provide for service to customers in unincorporated areas in the service area of the abolished district. The municipality that provides the service in the unincorporated area may charge its usual and customary fees and assessments to the customers in that area. No representation is made concerning the likelihood of abolition or the ability of the municipalities which contain parts of the District to make debt service payments on the Bonds should abolition occur. Alteration of Boundaries In certain circumstances, under Texas law the District may alter its boundaries to: 1) upon satisfying certain conditions, annex additional territory; and 2) exclude land subject to taxation within the District that is not served by District facilities if the District simultaneously annexes land of equal acreage and value that may be practicably served by District facilities. No representation is made concerning the likelihood that the District would effect any change in its boundaries. Registered Owners' Remedies If the District defaults in the payment of principal, interest or redemption price on the Bonds when due, or if it fails to make payments into any fund or funds created in the Order, or defaults in the observation or performance of any other covenants, conditions or obligations set forth in the Order, the registered owners may seek a writ of mandamus to compel District officials to carry out their legally imposed duties with respect to the Bonds if there is no other available remedy at law to compel performance of the covenants contained in the Bonds or in the Order and the District's obligations are not uncertain or disputed. The remedy of mandamus is controlled by equitable principles and rests with the discretion of the court. The issuance of a writ of mandamus is controlled by equitable principles and rests with the discretion of the court, but may not be arbitrarily refused. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Bonds in the event of default and, consequently, the remedy of mandamus may have to be relied upon from year to year. The Order does not provide for the appointment of a trustee to represent the interest of the bondholders upon any failure of the District to perform in accordance with the terms of the Order, or upon any other condition and accordingly all legal actions to enforce such remedies would have to be undertaken at the initiative of, and be financed by, the registered owners. The Texas Supreme Court has ruled in Tooke v. City of Mexia, 197 S.W.3d 325 (Tex. 2006) that a * Preliminary, subject to change 10 waiver of sovereign immunity in a contractual dispute must be provided for by statute in "clear and unambiguous" language. Therefore, bondholders may not be able to bring such a suit against the District for breach of the Bonds or Order covenants. Even if a judgment against the District could be obtained, it could not be enforced by direct levy and execution against the District's property. Further, the registered owners cannot themselves foreclose on property within the District or sell property within the District to enforce the tax lien on taxable property to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights The enforceability of the rights and remedies of Bondholders may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions such as the District. Texas law requires a municipal utility district such as the District to obtain the approval of the TCEQ as a condition to seeking relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. If a petitioning district were allowed to proceed voluntarily under Chapter 9 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, it could file a plan for an adjustment of its debts. If such a plan were confirmed by the bankruptcy court, it could, among other things, affect Registered Owners by reducing or eliminating the amount of indebtedness, deferring or rearranging the debt service schedule, reducing or eliminating the interest rate, modifying or abrogating collateral or security arrangements, substituting (in whole or in part) other securities, and otherwise compromising and modifying the rights and remedies of the Registered Owner's claim against a district. Although Chapter 9 provides for the recognition of a security interest represented by a specifically pledged source of revenues, the pledge of ad valorem taxes in support of a general obligation of a bankrupt entity is not specifically recognized as a security interest under Chapter 9 and such provision is subject to judicial construction. Chapter 9 also includes an automatic stay provision that would prohibit, without Bankruptcy Court approval, the prosecution of any other legal action by creditors or Bondholders of an entity which has sought protection under Chapter 9. Therefore, should the District avail itself of Chapter 9 protection from creditors, the ability to enforce would be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (which could require that the action be heard in Bankruptcy Court instead of other federal or state court); and the Bankruptcy Code provides for broad discretionary powers of a Bankruptcy Court in administering any proceeding brought before it. The opinion of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the Bonds are qualified with respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors. A district may not be forced into bankruptcy involuntarily. The Effect of the Financial Institutions Act of 1989 on Tax Collections of the District The "Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989" ("FIRREA"), enacted on August 9, 1989, contains certain provisions which affect the time for protesting property valuations, the fixing of tax liens, and the collection of penalties and interest on delinquent taxes on real property owned by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") when the FDIC is acting as the conservator or receiver of an insolvent financial institution. Under FIRREA real property held by the FDIC is still subject to ad valorem taxation, but such act states (i) that no real property of the FDIC shall be subject to foreclosure or sale without the consent of the FDIC and no involuntary liens shall attach to such property, (ii) the FDIC shall not be liable for any penalties or fines, including those arising from the failure to pay any real or personal property tax when due and (iii) notwithstanding failure of a person to challenge an appraisal in accordance with state law, such value shall be determined as of the period for which such tax is imposed. There has been no definitive judicial determination of the validity of the provisions of FIRREA or how they are to be construed and reconciled with respect to conflicting state laws. However, certain federal court decisions have held that the FDIC is not liable for statutory penalties and interest authorized by State property tax law, and that although a lien for taxes may exist against real property, such lien may not be foreclosed without the consent of the FDIC, and no liens for penalties, fines, interest, attorneys fees, costs of abstract and research fees exist against the real property for the failure of the FDIC or a prior property owner to pay ad valorem taxes when due. It is also not known whether the FDIC will attempt to claim the FIRREA exemptions as to the time for contesting valuations and tax assessments made prior to and after the enactment of FIRREA. Accordingly, to the extent that the FIRREA provisions are valid and applicable to any property in the District, and to the extent that the FDIC attempts to enforce the same, these provisions may affect the timeliness of collection of taxes on property, if any, owned by the FDIC in the District, and may prevent the collection of penalties and interest on such taxes. Continuing Compliance with Certain Covenants The Order contains covenants by the District intended to preserve the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. (See "THE BONDS - Specific Tax Covenants " herein.) Failure by the District to comply with such covenants on a continuous basis prior to maturity of the Bonds could result in interest on the Bonds becoming taxable retroactively to the date of original issuance. (See "TAX MATTERS " herein.) 11 Future Debt The District has reserved in the Order the right to issue the remaining $5,769,217 authorized but unissued unlimited tax bonds and such additional bonds as may hereafter be approved by both the Board of Directors and voters of the District. All of the remaining unlimited tax bonds, which have heretofore been authorized by the voters of the District may be issued by the District from time to time for qualified purposes, as determined by the Board of Directors of the District, subject to the approval of the Attorney General of the State of Texas and the TCEQ. The District has no plans to issue additional debt within the next twelve months. Future and Proposed Legislation Tax legislation, administrative actions taken by tax authorities, or court decisions, whether at the Federal or state level, may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds under Federal or state law and could affect the market price or marketability of the Bonds. Any such proposal could limit the value of certain deductions and exclusions, including the exclusion for tax-exempt interest. The likelihood of any such proposal being enacted cannot be predicted. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding the foregoing matters. THE DISTRICT Creation of the District The District was created by the consolidation of two prior municipal utility districts, being Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 ("Prior MUD 1") and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 ("Prior MUD 2° and collectively with Prior MUD 1, the "Prior MUDs"). Prior MUD 1 was created as Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 1 by order of the Texas Water Rights Commission (the "Commission") on March 4, 1975 for the purpose of providing water and sewer facilities and other authorized services to the area within the territory of Prior MUD 1. The name of Prior MUD 1 was changed to Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 on April 1, 1983. Prior MUD 2 was created as a result of the consolidation of Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 2 and Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 3, which were created by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") for the purpose of providing water, sewer and drainage facilities and other authorized services to the area. The creation of Prior MUD 2 was confirmed by its electorate at an election held on August 9, 1980. On January 26, 2009, the Boards of the Prior MUDs entered into an agreement to consolidate the Prior MUDs into a single Municipal Utility District covering the territory of the Prior MUDs, subject to the approval of the consolidation by the voters at an election held for that purpose. On May 9, 2009, the voters approved the consolidation and the District became the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1. Pursuant to the consolidation agreement, the District assumed the outstanding bonds, notes and other obligations of the Prior MUDs and the authorized but unissued bonds, taxes and other obligations of the Prior MUDs and became authorized to levy a uniform tax on all taxable property within the District. The functions performed by the District include supplying water for municipal purposes; collecting, transporting, processing and disposing of wastes; establishing, operating and maintaining a fire department; and performing other functions permitted by municipal utility districts under the Texas Water Code. Governance The District is governed by a board of directors which has control over and management supervision of all affairs of the District. There are five elected directors that serve four-year staggered terms. Directors receive no remuneration, except a Director's per diem allowance of $100 per day on which necessary service is performed for the District. The District and all similar districts are subject to the continuing supervision and filing requirements of the TCEQ, including the preparation and filing of an annual independent audit report. All District facility plans are submitted to the TCEQ for review and approval. Employees The District has no employees of its own. Rather, personnel services are furnished under an Interlocal Agreement for Employee and Contractual Services (the "Agreement") between the District and the Town pursuant to Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code. Under the Agreement, employees who report directly to the District rather than the Town are entitled to the same benefits provided to Town employees, but the District is required to pay all costs associated with the provision of benefits to such employees, including pension benefits. In addition, the District is required to pay 50% of the costs incurred by the Town for salary, benefits and other compensation of employees who provide firefighting and emergency medical services to both the District and the Town. The District's liabilities under the Agreement, including pension benefits, do not have a substantial impact on the District's finances. General The District is comprised of 2,283.5 acres [approximately 94 acres in Westlake (Solana)]. Approximately 195 acres in Trophy Club are undeveloped. Of the developed acres, there are approximately 3,172 existing households, 136 apartment units and 42 townhouses. 12 Location The District is located in southern Denton County and northern Tarrant County partially within the Town of Trophy Club (the "Town") and partially within the Town of Westlake. The District is directly adjacent to and accessible from State Highway 114, north of and approximately mid-way between Dallas and Fort Worth. The District is approximately 27 miles from downtown Dallas, 25 miles from downtown Fort Worth, 17 miles from Denton, 8 miles from Grapevine and 14 miles from the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Major highways connecting these population centers, which will also serve the District, include State Highways 114, 170 and 377 and Interstate Highways 35E and 35W. State Highway 170 connects Trophy Club directly to Alliance Airport which is located seven miles southwest of the District. (See "Vicinity Map" herein.) Population The population of the District is estimated to be approximately 7,600 and the population of the entire Town of Trophy Club, the District and the Trophy Club PID No. 1 (the "Trophy Club Development") is estimated at 8,895 (as of December 2011). Topography and Drainage The land within the District has a gradual slope from the southeast to the northwest toward Marshall Creek, which forms the western boundary of the District. Runoff water enters Grapevine Reservoir just north of the District through Marshall Creek or several other small tributaries. The maximum elevation in the area being developed is approximately 690 feet mean sea level and the minimum elevation in the area being developed is approximately 576 feet mean sea level. The soil is sandy loam and clay loam, and existing vegetation consists of native grasses and small oak trees. Areas which are subject to flooding by a 100- year frequency flood are located in the flood plan of Marshall Creek and have been delineated by the Water Resources Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey. Additional flood studies were made by the engineers to determine what areas may be subject to flooding. It was determined that the area subject to flooding within the District is approximately 58.5 acres based on 100-year flood frequency; however, 57.6 acres of this area is within the golf course area and is not intended to be developed for residential land use. Shopping and Commercial Facilities A shopping center within the District has a major grocery store chain, a bank, a major chain drug store, several service businesses, fast food outlets, and a beauty shop and a dry cleaners. Additionally there are several more businesses and professional offices located in the District, at the primary entrance to the Town of Trophy Club. There are additional shopping facilities in Roanoke, about two (2) miles west of the District and numerous shopping facilities in Southlake about five (5) miles east of the District and in Grapevine about eleven (11) miles east of the District. Full metropolitan shopping facilities are available in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas which have their central business districts approximately 27 miles and 25 miles, respectively from the District. Fire Protection The District operates its Fire Department (the "Department") with an engine, a Quint, a brush truck and two support vehicles. Currently the Department is staffed with twelve (12) full-time firefighter / paramedics, one full-time Fire chief and a part-time administrative assistant. Operations under the Department include fire suppression, fire prevention, emergency management, investigation/enforcement and emergency medical response. The new $3.1 million fire station was completed and equipped in August 2011 with proceeds from the sale of the Series 2010 Bonds, replacing the previously existing facility. This Department serves the Town of Trophy Club and area in the District that is not in the Town limits, and is currently financed by a combination of a $0.10925 maintenance tax assessment in the District, as well as a $0.10925 Public Improvement District ("PID") assessment in Trophy Club PID No. 1. The 2011-2012 annual operating budget is $1,311,934 with October 1, 2011 reserves of $287,689 (unaudited). Police Protection Twenty-four hour security is provided by the Town of Trophy Club Police Department Schools The Town is served by the Northwest Independent School District (the "School District" or "Northwest ISD"). Northwest ISD covers approximately 232 square miles in Denton, Wise and Tarrant Counties. In addition to serving the Town, the School District also serves the communities of Aurora, Fairview, Haslet, Justin, Newark, Northlake, Rhome, Roanoke and portions of Flower Mound, Fort Worth, Keller, Southlake and Westlake. Northwest ISD is comprised of 16 primary schools for grades pre- kindergarten through fifth, 4 middle schools for grades sixth through eighth, 3 high schools for grades ninth through twelfth, and 2 alternative education campuses for grades seventh through twelfth. One of the high schools, Byron Nelson High School, is located in the Town of Trophy Club. All campuses offer enriched curricula with special programs for gifted/talented students as well as students achieving below grade level, and all are equipped with computers and full cafeteria service. The School District serves a 2011-2012 estimated enrollment of 16,630 students (as of November 1, 2011). 13 Recreational Opportunities Recreational opportunities in Trophy Club are afforded by Lake Grapevine and its surrounding parks, which lie two miles north and east of the District. The Town has several community parks, including facilities for soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, tennis, a competitive swimming pool and playground amenities. The Town also operates an 877 acre Corps of Engineers park, which features 100 acres of motorized trails, as well as many passive recreational opportunities such as fishing, hiking and picnicking. Status of Development of the District The area in the District is locally known as "Trophy Club." It is a residential and mixed-use development consisting of approximately 2,283.5 acres. The District is a mature district with roughly 195 acres undeveloped, of which 135 acres are zoned residential and approximately 60 acres are available for commercial development. There is substantial land left for commercial development in the Solana complex, which is located within the City of Westlake. Lot and custom home sales officially began in the District in mid-year 1975. Homes are currently being offered at prices ranging from $200,000 to $1,000,000 and lots range in price from $35,000 to $200,000. The status of single-family home development as of January 1, 2012 is shown below: Status of Single-Family Home Development Houses Additional Total Multi-Family Under Houses Total Developed Houses Units Construction Occupied Houses Lots and Lots Completed(a) 138 3,172 3,310 72 3,382 178 (a) In addition to the single-family development, there are approximately 132 apartments and 42 completed townhouses, which are occupied. Status of Business / Commercial Development The undeveloped commercial land within the Solana business complex (approximately 230 acres) is available for commercial development, however the District is unaware of any current plans for additional development in the Solana business complex. The Town of Trophy Club and the District have commercial land available for development on approximately 52 acres of land along Highway 114. The land is zoned for uses such as a medical complex, hotels, restaurants and a short-stay hospital facility. Additionally, the District currently has a small strip center along Highway 114 containing several food establishments and professional offices. Maguire Thomas Partners ("Maguire") currently owns the Solana business complex, which is the top principal taxpayer in the District (see APPENDIX A "Table 11 - Principal Taxpayers 2011-2012"). On November 16, 2011, a State district judge in Tarrant County appointed a receiver to take control of Solana. According to court filings, the receiver will operate Solana, take all necessary actions to preserve the income and value of the property, and market the property for sale. It is expected that Solana will be posted for foreclosure in the near future. The District cannot predict the impact that such events may have on the District's financial condition. Public Improvement District Description Trophy Club PID No. 1 (the "PID") consists of approximately 609.683 acres of land generally to the north of Oakmont Drive, Oak Hill Drive and the Quorum Condominiums, east of the Lakes Subdivision and Parkview Drive, south of the Corps of Engineer's property, and west of the Town's eastern limit. The PID is located entirely within the Town limits but outside the District. A master-planned residential community (the "Property") is under construction in the PID and at build-out will be comprised of approximately 1,489 residential units located within the Property, which Property is zoned to permit such use pursuant to the PD Zoning. As of December 31, 2011, 538 homes have been completed and are occupied and an additional 170 homes have been permitted and are currently under construction. The PID is projected to build out as early as 2017 if construction continues at current levels, or as late as 2025 in the event of a decrease in the construction rate. The District provides emergency and fire protection services to the PID, and the PID pays the District an assessment for such services at the current fire tax rate of $0.10925. The District also provides water and sewer service for the PID. The total billed for PID water and sewer for fiscal year 2010-11 was $617,001.57. 14 THE DISTRICT'S SYSTEM The following information describes generally the water and wastewater systems for the District. Description of the Water System Sources of Water Supply: The present water supply is provided from two sources: (i) four ground wells which provide approximately 1,000,000 gallons per day, and (ii) a 21-inch water line which is capable of delivering 10,000,000 gallons per day of treated water from the City of Fort Worth facilities. Currently the District contracts with the City of Fort Worth for unlimited water services. Current maximum usage is approximately 6,500,000 gallons per day (of which 4,500,000 is Fort Worth water). These sources, when combined, provide water which complies with the quality requirements of the TCEQ and needs only chlorination at the District's water plant facility. loafer Plant Facility: The present facility provides 900,000 gallons elevated and 6,000,000 gallons ground storage with pumping/chlorination capacity of 10,000,000 gallons per day. Description of the Wastewater System Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility: The wastewater treatment plant system has a permitted treatment/discharge capacity of 1,750,000 gallons per day from the TCEQ under TPDES Permit No. 11593-001. Although the permit authorizes the discharge of wastewater to the adjacent tributary leading to Lake Grapevine, the plant effluent is currently pumped to various holding ponds within the community of Trophy Club and is re-used for irrigating the golf course.

Under Texas law, the District is required to invest its funds under written investment policies that primarily emphasize safety of principal and liquidity; that address investment diversification, yield, maturity, and the quality and capability of investment management; and that include a list of authorized investments for District funds, the maximum allowable stated maturity of any individual investment and the maximum average dollar-weighted maturity allowed for pooled fund groups, methods to monitor the market price of investments acquired with public funds, a requirement for settlement of all transactions, except investment pool funds and mutual funds, on a delivery versus payment basis, and procedures to monitor rating changes in investments acquired with public funds and the liquidation of such investments consistent with the Public Funds Investment Act. All District funds must be invested consistent with a formally adopted "Investment Strategy Statement" that specifically addresses each fund's investment. Each Investment Strategy Statement will describe its objectives concerning: (1) suitability of investment type, (2) preservation and safety of principal, (3) liquidity, (4) marketability of each investment, (5) diversification of the portfolio, and (6) yield. Under Texas law, the District's investments must be made "with judgment and care, under prevailing circumstances, that a person of prudence, discretion, and intelligence would exercise in the management of the person's own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment considering the probable safety of capital and the probable income to be derived." At least quarterly the District's investment officers must submit an investment report to the Board of Trustees detailing: (1) the investment position of the District, (2) that all investment officers jointly prepared and signed the report, (3) the beginning market value, the ending market value and the fully accrued interest for the reporting period of each pooled fund group, (4) the book value and market value of each separately listed asset at the end of the reporting period, (5) the maturity date of each separately invested asset, (6) the account or fund or pooled fund group for which each individual investment was acquired, and (7) the compliance of the investment portfolio as it relates to: (a) adopted investment strategies and (b) Texas law.

The District does not currently own, nor does it anticipate the inclusion of long-term securities or derivative products in its portfolio. Fund and Investment Type Amount TexPool - Operating Fund $3,317,514 TexPool - Interest and Sinking Fund 310,178 First Financial Bank Interest Bearing Account - Operating Fund 373.001 Total Investments $4.000.693 TAX DATA District Bond Tax Rate Limitation By law the District's tax rate for debt service on the Bonds is unlimited as to rate or amount. Maintenance and Operations Tax The Board is also authorized to levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax for planning, constructing, acquiring, or maintaining or repairing or operating the District's improvements and facilities, if such maintenance and operations tax is authorized by a vote of the District's electors. Such tax is in addition to taxes which the District is authorized to levy for paying principal of and interest on the Bonds, and any tax bonds which may be issued in the future. As shown in APPENDIX A, TABLE 13 - "TAX RATE DISTRIBUTION," the District levied a 2011-2012 maintenance and operations tax for fire protection purposes of $0.10925/$100 assessed valuation and $0.00989/$100 assessed valuation for all other operations and maintenance purposes. Overlapping Taxes Other governmental entities whose boundaries overlap the District have outstanding bonds payable from ad valorem taxes. The statement of direct and estimated overlapping ad valorem tax debt shown in APPENDIX A - TABLE 14 (page A-6) was developed from several sources, including information contained in "Texas Municipal Reports," published by the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas. Except for the amount relating to the District, the District has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of such information, and no person is entitled to rely upon information as being accurate or complete. Furthermore, certain of the entities listed below may have issued additional bonds since the dates stated in this table, and such entities may have programs requiring the issuance of substantial amounts of additional bonds, the amount of which cannot be determined. Political subdivisions overlapping the District are authorized by Texas law to levy and collect ad valorem taxes for operation, maintenance and/or general revenue purposes in addition to taxes of debt service and the tax burden for operation, maintenance and/or general purposes is not included in these figures. (See APPENDIX A - TABLES 14, 15 & 17 for information on overlapping taxing entities.) TAXING PROCEDURES Authority to Levy Taxes The Board has been authorized to levy an annual ad valorem tax on all taxable property within the District in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, their pro rata share of debt service on any contract tax bonds and any additional bonds or obligations payable from taxes which the District may hereafter issue and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such taxes. The District agrees in the Order to levy such a tax from year-to-year as described more fully herein under "THE BONDS - Security for Payment." Under Texas law, the Board is also authorized to levy and collect an ad valorem tax for the operation and maintenance of the District and for the payment of certain contractual obligations, if authorized by its voters. (See" TAX DATA - District Bond Tax Rate Limitation" herein.) Property Tax Code and County-Wide Appraisal District The Texas Property Tax Code (the "Property Tax Code") specifies the taxing procedures of all political subdivisions of the State of Texas, including the District. Provisions of the Property Tax Code are complex and are not fully summarized herein. The Property Tax Code requires, among other matters, county-wide appraisal and equalization of taxable property values and establishes in each county of the State of Texas an appraisal district with the responsibility for recording and appraising property for all taxing units within the county and an appraisal review board with responsibility for reviewing and equalizing the values established by the appraisal district. The board of directors of the appraisal district selects a chief appraiser to manage the appraisal offices of the appraisal district. The Denton Central Appraisal District and the Tarrant Appraisal District have the 17 responsibility for appraising property for all taxing units within Denton and Tarrant Counties, including the District. Such appraisal values are subject to review and change by the appraisal review boards of each county. The appraisal roll as approved by the appraisal review boards must be used by the District in establishing its tax roll and tax rate. General: Except for certain exemptions provided by Texas law, all property with a tax situs in the District is subject to taxation by the District; however, no effort is made by the District to collect taxes on tangible or intangible personal property not devoted to commercial or industrial use. Principal categories of exempt property applicable to the District include: (i)property owned by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions if the property is used for public purposes; (ii)property exempt from ad valorem taxation by federal law; (iii) certain property owned by charitable organizations, youth development associations, religious organizations, and qualified schools; (iv) designated historical sites; and (v) solar and wind-powered energy devices. Freeport Exemption: Article VIII, Section 1-j of the Texas Constitution authorizing an ad valorem tax exemption for "freeport property" was approved November 7, 1989. Freeport property is goods detained in Texas for 175 days or less for the purpose of assembly, storage, manufacturing, processing or fabrication. The District does grant this exemption. Goods in Transit: "Goods in Transit", which are certain goods, principally inventory, that are stored, for the purposes of assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing or fabricating the goods, in a location that is not owned by the owner of the goods and are transferred from that location to another location within 175 days; a taxpayer may receive only one of the freeport exemptions or the goods-in-transit exemptions for items of personal property. The District does not exempt Goods in Transit. Agricultural/Open-Land Exemption: Article VIII provides that eligible owners of both agricultural land (Section 1-d) and open- space land (Section 1-d-1), including open-space land devoted to farm or ranch purposes or open-space land devoted to timber production, may elect to have such property appraised for property taxation on the basis of its productive capacity. The same land may not be qualified under both Section 1-d and 1-d-1. The District does have land that qualifies for this exemption. Residence Homestead Exemptions: Under Section 1-b, Article VIII, and State law, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant an exemption of not less than $3,000 of market value of the residence homestead of persons 65 years of age or older and the disabled from all ad valorem taxes thereafter levied by the political subdivision. Once authorized, such exemption may be repealed or decreased or increased in amount (i) by the governing body of the political subdivision or (ii) by a favorable vote of a majority of the qualified voters at an election called by the governing body of the political subdivision, which election must be called upon receipt of a petition signed by at least 20% of the number of qualified voters who voted in the preceding election of the political subdivision. In the case of a decrease, the amount of the exemption may not be reduced to less than $3,000 of the market value. The surviving spouse of an individual who qualifies for the foregoing exemption for the residence homestead of a person 65 or older (but not the disabled) is entitled to an exemption for the same property in an amount equal to that of the exemption for which the deceased spouse qualified if (i) the deceased spouse died in a year in which the deceased spouse qualified for the exemption, (ii) the surviving spouse was at least 55 years of age at the time of the death of the individual's spouse and (iii) the property was the residence homestead of the surviving spouse when the deceased spouse died and remains the residence homestead of the surviving spouse. The Board has granted such elderly and disabled exemptions in the amount of $25,000 of assessed valuation. In addition to any other exemptions provided by the Property Tax Code, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant an exemption of up to 20% of the market value of residence homesteads, with a minimum exemption of $5,000. The District does not grant the option percentage of market value exemption. In the case of residence homestead exemptions granted under Section 1-b, Article VIII, ad valorem taxes may continue to be levied against the value of homesteads exempted where ad valorem taxes have previously been pledged for the payment of debt if cessation of the levy would impair the obligation of the contract by which the debt was created. Disabled/Deceased Veterans Exemption: State law and Section 2, Article VIII, mandate an additional property tax exemption for disabled veterans or the surviving spouse (for so long as the surviving spouse remains unmarried) or children (under 18 years of age) of a deceased veteran who died while on active duty in the armed forces; the exemption applies to either real or personal property with the amount of assessed valuation exempted ranging from $5,000 to a maximum of $12,000; provided, however, that beginning in the 2009 tax year, a disabled veteran who receives from the from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or its successor 100 percent disability compensation due to a service-connected disability and a rating of 100 percent disabled or of individual unemployability is entitled to an exemption from taxation of the total appraised value of the veteran's residence homestead. In addition, effective January 1, 2012, and subject to certain conditions, surviving spouses of a deceased veteran who had received a disability rating of 100% will be entitled to receive a residential homestead exemption equal to the exemption received by the deceased spouse until such surviving spouse remarries. The District does grant the disabled / deceased veterans Exemption. 18 Tax Abatement: Denton County, Tarrant County or the Town of Trophy Club may designate all or part of the area within the District as a reinvestment zone. Thereafter, the District may enter into tax abatement agreements with owners of real property within the District for up to ten (10) years, all or any part of any increase in the assessed valuation of property covered by the agreement over its assessed valuation in the year in which the agreement is executed, on the condition that the property owner make specified improvements or repairs to the property in conformity with a comprehensive plan. All of the area of the District is included in reinvestment zones designated by the Town of Trophy Club, for tax abatement purposes. Valuation of Property for Taxation Generally, all taxable property in the District must be appraised by the Denton Central Appraisal District and the Tarrant Appraisal District (collectively, the "Appraisal District") at one hundred percent (100%) of market value as of January 1 of each year, subject to review and approval by the Appraisal Review Board. In determining market value, either the replacement cost or the income or the market data method of valuation may be used, whichever is appropriate. Certain land may be appraised at less than market value under the Property Tax Code. Increases in the appraised value of residence homesteads are limited to 10 percent annually regardless of the market value of the property. Upon application of a landowner, land which qualifies as "open-space land" is appraised based on the category of land, using accepted income capitalization methods applied to the average net income derived from the use of the land for agriculture and hunting or recreational leases. Upon application of a landowner, land which qualifies as "timber land" is appraised using accepted income capitalization methods applied to the average net income derived from the use of the land for production of timber. Land which qualifies as an aesthetic management zone, critical wildlife management zone, or streamside management zone or is being regenerated for timber production for 10 years after harvest is valued at one-half that amount. In the case of both open space and timber land valuations, if the use of land changes, an additional tax is generally imposed on the land equal to the difference between the taxes imposed on the land for each of the five (5) years preceding the year in which the change of use occurs and the tax that would have been imposed had the land been taxed on the basis of market value in each of those years, plus interest at an annual rate of seven percent (7%) calculated from the dates on which the differences would have become due. There are also special appraisal methods for agricultural land owned by individuals whose primary occupation and income are farming and for recreational, park, and scenic land. Also, houses or lots held for sale by a developer or builder which remain unoccupied, are not leased or rented and produce no income are required to be assessed at the price for which they would sell as a unit to a purchaser who would continue the owner's business, upon application of the owner. Once an appraisal roll is prepared and approved by the Appraisal Review Board, it is used by the District in establishing its tax rate. The Property Tax Code requires the Appraisal District to implement a plan for periodic reappraisal of property to update appraised values. The plan must provide for appraisal of all real property in the Appraisal District at least one every three (3) years. It is not know what frequency of reappraisal will be utilized by the Appraisal District or whether reappraisals will be conducted on a zone or countywide basis. Notice and Hearing Procedures The Tax Code establishes a "truth-in-taxation" process identifying increases in the effective tax rate. The rollback tax rate equals 108% of the total tax rate for the prior year. If the District decides to increase the tax rate more than eight percent (8%) above the previous year's tax rate, it must hold a public hearing and give notice to its taxpayers. If the actual tax rate adopted exceeds the rollback tax rate, taxpayers may petition to hold an election to reduce the tax rate to the rollback tax rate for the fiscal year. The Tax Code also establishes a procedure for notice to property owners of reappraisals reflecting increased property values, appraisals which are higher than renditions, and appraisals of property not previously on an appraisal roll District and Taxpayer Remedies The chief appraiser must give written notice before the Appraisal Review Board meeting to an affected owner if a reappraisal has resulted in an increase in value over the prior year or the value rendered by the owner, or if property not previously included on the appraisal roll has been appraised. Any owner who has timely filed notice with the Appraisal Review Board may appeal the final determination by the Appraisal Review Board of the owner's protest by filing suit in Texas district court. Prior to such appeal, however, the owner must pay the tax due on the amount of value of the property involved that is not in dispute or the amount of tax paid in the prior year, whichever is greater, but not to exceed the amount of tax due under the order from which the appeal is taken. In the event of such suit, the value of the property is determined by the court, or a jury if requested by any party. Additionally, the District is entitled to challenge certain matters before the Appraisal Review Board, including the level of appraisal of certain category of property, the exclusion of property from the appraisal records, or the grant in whole or in part of a partial exemption, or a determination that land qualifies for a special use appraisal (agricultural or timber classification, for example). The District may not, however, protest a valuation of individual property. 19 Levy and Collection of Taxes The rate of taxation is set by the Board based upon the valuation of property within the District as of the preceding January 1 and the amount required to be raised for debt service, maintenance purposes, and authorized contractual obligations. Unless the Board, or the qualified voters of the District or of Denton County or Tarrant County at an election held for such purpose, determines to transfer the collection of taxes to the Denton Central Appraisal District or Tarrant Appraisal District or another taxing unit, the District is responsible for the levy and collection of its taxes. The District has contracted with the Denton County Tax Collector to collect the taxes for the District. Taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year. The date of the delinquency may be postponed if the tax bills are mailed after January 10 of any year. Delinquent taxes are subject to a 6% penalty for the first month of delinquency, one percent (1%) for each month thereafter to July 1, and 12% total if any taxes are unpaid on July 1. Delinquent taxes also accrue interest at the rate of 1% per month during the period they remain outstanding. In addition, where a district engages an attorney for collection of delinquent taxes, the Board may impose a further penalty not to exceed twenty percent 20% on all taxes unpaid on July 1. The District may be prohibited from collection of penalties and interest on real property owned by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation. In prior years the District has engaged a delinquent tax attorney and imposed such a penalty. District's Rights in the Event of Tax Delinquencies Taxes levied by the District are a personal obligation of the owner of the property on January 1 of the year for which the tax is imposed. On January 1 of each year, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all state and local taxes, penalties, and interest ultimately imposed for the year on the property. The lien exists in favor of the State of Texas and each local taxing unit, including the District, having power to tax the property. The District's tax lien is on a parity with tax liens of such other taxing units. A tax lien on real property takes priority over the claim of most creditors and other holders of liens on the property encumbered by the tax lien, whether or not the debt or lien existed before the attachment of the tax lien; however, whether a lien of the United States is on a parity with or takes priority over a tax lien of the District is determined by applicable federal law. Personal property under certain circumstances is subject to seizure and sale for the payment of delinquent taxes, penalty, and interest. At any time after taxes on property become delinquent, the District may file suit to foreclose the lien securing payment of the tax, to enforce personal liability for the tax, or both. In filing a suit to foreclose a tax lien on real property, the District must join other taxing units that have claims for delinquent taxes against all or part of the same property. Collection of delinquent taxes may be adversely affected by the amount of taxes owed to other taxing units, by the effects of market conditions on the foreclosure sale price, by taxpayer redemption rights (a taxpayer may redeem property within two years after the purchaser's deed issued at the foreclosure sale is filed in the county records) or by bankruptcy proceedings which restrict the collection of taxpayer debts. (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - General" and "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Tax Collections and Foreclosure Remedies".) TAX MATTERS Opinion On the date of initial delivery of the Bonds, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Dallas, Texas, Bond Counsel to the Issuer, will render its opinion that, in accordance with statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions existing on the date thereof ("Existing Law"), (1) interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes will be excludable from the "gross income" of the holders thereof and (2) the Bonds will not be treated as "specified private activity bonds" the interest on which would be included as an alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Except as stated above, Bond Counsel to the Issuer will express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. See Appendix C - Form of Legal Opinion of Bond Counsel. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel to the Issuer will rely upon (a) certain information and representations of the Issuer, including information and representations contained in the Issuer's federal tax certificate, and (b) covenants of the Issuer contained in the Bond documents relating to certain matters, including arbitrage and the use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds and the property financed or refinanced therewith and (c) the certification of the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds that the amount deposited with the Escrow Agent will be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds when due. Failure by the Issuer to observe the aforementioned representations or covenants could cause the interest on the Bonds to become taxable retroactively to the date of issuance. The Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder contain a number of requirements that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order for interest on the Bonds to be, and to remain, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements may cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel to the Issuer is conditioned on compliance by the Issuer with such requirements, and Bond Counsel to the Issuer has not been retained to monitor compliance with these requirements subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds. 20 Bond Counsel's opinion represents its legal judgement based upon its review of Existing Law and the reliance on the aforementioned information, representations and covenants. Bond Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a result. Existing Law is subject to change by the Congress and to subsequent judicial and administrative interpretation by the courts and the Department of the Treasury. There can be no assurance that Existing Law or the interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner which would adversely affect the tax treatment of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. A ruling was not sought from the Internal Revenue Service by the Issuer with respect to the Bonds or the property financed or refinanced with proceeds of the Bonds. No assurances can be given as to whether the Internal Revenue Service will commence an audit of the Bonds, or as to whether the Internal Revenue Service would agree with the opinion of Bond Counsel. If an Internal Revenue Service audit is commenced, under current procedures the Internal Revenue Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer and the Bondholders may have no right to participate in such procedure. No additional interest will be paid upon any determination of taxability. Federal Income Tax Accounting Treatment of Original Issue Discount The initial public offering price to be paid for one or more maturities of the Bonds may be less than the principal amount or maturity amount thereof or one or more periods for the payment of interest on the bonds may not be equal to the accrual period or be in excess of one year (the "Original Issue Discount Bonds"). In such event, the difference between (i) the "stated redemption price at maturity" of each Original Issue Discount Bond, and (ii) the initial offering price to the public of such Original Issue Discount Bond would constitute original issue discount. The "stated redemption price at maturity" means the sum of all payments to be made on the bonds less the amount of all periodic interest payments. Periodic interest payments are payments which are made during equal accrual periods (or during any unequal period if it is the initial or final period) and which are made during accrual periods which do not exceed one year. Under existing law, any owner who has purchased such Original Issue Discount Bond in the initial public offering is entitled to exclude from gross income (as defined in section 61 of the Code) an amount of income with respect to such Original Issue Discount Bond equal to that portion of the amount of such original issue discount allocable to the accrual period. For a discussion of certain collateral federal tax consequences, see discussion set forth below. In the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bond prior to stated maturity, however, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such Original Issue Discount Bond in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Original Issue Discount Bond was held by such initial owner) is includable in gross income. Under existing law, the original issue discount on each Original Issue Discount Bond is accrued daily to the stated maturity thereof (in amounts calculated as described below for each six-month period ending on the date before the semiannual anniversary dates of the date of the Bonds and ratably within each such six-month period) and the accrued amount is added to an initial owner's basis for such Original Issue Discount Bond for purposes of determining the amount of gain or loss recognized by such owner upon the redemption, sale or other disposition thereof. The amount to be added to basis for each accrual period is equal to (a) the sum of the issue price and the amount of original issue discount accrued in prior periods multiplied by the yield to stated maturity (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period) less (b) the amounts payable as current interest during such accrual period on such Original Issue Discount Bond. The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of Original Issue Discount Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those described above. All owners of Original Issue Discount Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the determination for federal, state and local income tax purposes of the treatment of interest accrued upon redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds and with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds. Collateral Federal Income Tax Consequences The following discussion is a summary of certain collateral federal income tax consequences resulting from the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. This discussion is based on existing statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change or modification, retroactively. The following discussion is applicable to investors, other than those who are subject to special provisions of the Code, such as financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, life insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, individuals allowed an earned income credit, certain S corporations with accumulated earnings and profits and excess passive investment income, foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase tax-exempt obligations. 21 THE DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN MAY NOT BE EXHAUSTIVE. INVESTORS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE CODE, SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX TREATMENT WHICH MAY BE ANTICIPATED TO RESULT FROM THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS BEFORE DETERMINING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE BONDS. Interest on the Bonds will be includable as an adjustment for "adjusted current earnings" to calculate the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. Under section 6012 of the Code, holders of tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, may be required to disclose interest received or accrued during each taxable year on their returns of federal income taxation. Section 1276 of the Code provides for ordinary income tax treatment of gain recognized upon the disposition of a tax-exempt obligation, such as the Bonds, if such obligation was acquired at a "market discount" and if the fixed maturity of such obligation is equal to, or exceeds, one year from the date of issue. Such treatment applies to "market discount bonds" to the extent such gain does not exceed the accrued market discount of such bonds; although for this purpose, a de minimis amount of market discount is ignored. A "market discount bond" is one which is acquired by the holder at a purchase price which is less than the stated redemption price at maturity or, in the case of a bond issued at an original issue discount, the "revised issue price" (i.e., the issue price plus accrued original issue discount). The "accrued market discount" is the amount which bears the same ratio to the market discount as the number of days during which the holder holds the obligation bears to the number of days between the acquisition date and the final maturity date. State, Local and Foreign Taxes Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax implications of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds under applicable state or local laws. Foreign investors should also consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences unique to investors who are not United States persons. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations for Financial Institutions Section 265(a) of the Code provides, in pertinent part, that interest paid or incurred by a taxpayer, including a "financial institution," on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations is not deductible in determining the taxpayer's taxable income. Section 265(b) of the Code provides an exception to the disallowance of such deduction for any interest expense paid or incurred on indebtedness of a taxpayer that is a "financial institution" allocable to tax-exempt obligations, other than "private activity bonds," that are designated by a "qualified small issuer" as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." A "qualified small issuer" is any governmental issuer (together with any "on-behalf of and "subordinate" issuers) who issues no more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations during the calendar year. Section 265(b)(5) of the Code defines the term "financial institution" as any "bank" described in section 585(a)(2) of the Code, or any person accepting deposits from the public in the ordinary course of such person's trade or business that is subject to federal or state supervision as a financial institution. Notwithstanding the exception to the disallowance of the deduction of interest on indebtedness related to "qualified tax-exempt obligations" provided by section 265(b) of the Code, section 291 of the Code provides that the allowable deduction to a "bank," as defined in section 585(a)(2) of the Code, for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase "qualified tax-exempt obligations" shall be reduced by twenty-percent (20%) as a "financial institution preference item." In the Order, the Issuer has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of section 265(b) of the Code. In furtherance of that designation, the Issuer has covenanted to take such action that would assure, or to refrain from such action that would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." Potential purchasers should be aware that if the issue price to the public exceeds $10,000,000 there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the payment of a de minimis amount of premium in excess of $10,000,000 is disregarded; however, the Internal Revenue Service could take a contrary view. If the Internal Revenue Service takes the position that the amount of such premium is not disregarded, then such obligations might fail to satisfy the aforementioned dollar limitation and the Bonds would not be "qualified tax-exempt obligations." CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION In the Order, the Issuer has made the following agreement for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of each of the Bonds. The Issuer is required to observe the agreement for so long as it remains obligated to advance funds to pay the Bonds. Under the agreement, the Issuer will be obligated to provide certain updated financial information and operating data annually, and timely notice of certain specified events, to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB"). Annual Reports The Issuer will provide certain updated financial information and operating data to the MSRB. The District will provide all quantitative financial information and operating data with respect to the District of the general type included in this Official Statement. The information to be updated includes Tables 1,12 and 13 of Appendix A, and the annual audited financial statements of the District. The Issuer will update and provide this information within six months after the end of each fiscal year ending in and after 2011. 22 The financial information to be provided may be set forth in full in one or more documents or may be included by specific reference to any document available to the public on the MSRB's Internet Website or filed with the SEC, as permitted by SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule"). The updated information will include audited financial statements for the Issuer, if the Issuer commissions an audit and it is completed by the required time. If audited financial statements are not available by the required time, the Issuer will provide unaudited financial statements by the required time and audited financial statements when and if such audited financial statements become available. Any such financial statements will be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles described in Appendix D or such other accounting principles as the Issuer may be required to employ from time to time pursuant to State law or regulation. The Issuer's current fiscal year end is September 30. Accordingly, it must provide updated information by the last day in March in each year, unless the Issuer changes its fiscal year. If the Issuer changes its fiscal year, it will notify the MSRB of the change. Notice of Certain Events The Issuer will also provide timely notices of certain events to the MSRB. The Issuer will provide notice of any of the following events with respect to the Bonds to the MSRB in a timely manner (but not in excess of ten business days after the occurrence of the event): (1) principal and interest payment delinquencies; (2) non-payment related defaults, if material; (3) unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulties; (4) unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulties; (5) substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform; (6) adverse tax opinions, the issuance by the Internal Revenue Service of proposed or final determinations of taxability, Notices of Proposed Issue (IRS Form 5701-TEB), or other material notices or determinations with respect to the tax status of the Bonds, or other material events affecting the tax status of the Bonds; (7) modifications to rights of holders of the Bonds, if material; (8) Bond calls, if material, and tender offers; (9) defeasances; (10) release, substitution, or sale of property securing repayment of the Bonds, if material; (11) rating changes; (12) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar event of the Issuer, which shall occur as described below; (13) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition involving the Issuer or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, other than in the ordinary course of business, the entry into of a definitive agreement to undertake such an action or the termination of a definitive agreement relating to any such actions, other than pursuant to its terms, if material; and (14) appointment of a successor or additional trustee or the change of name of a trustee, if material. In addition, the Issuer will provide timely notice of any failure by the Issuer to provide annual financial information in accordance with their agreement described above under "Annual Reports". For these purposes, any event described in clause (12) of the immediately preceding paragraph is considered to occur when any of the following occur: the appointment of a receiver, fiscal agent, or similar officer for the Issuer in a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or in any other proceeding under state or federal law in which a court or governmental authority has assumed jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the Issuer, or if such jurisdiction has been assumed by leaving the existing governing body and officials or officers in possession but subject to the supervision and orders of a court or governmental authority, or the entry of an order confirming a plan of reorganization, arrangement, or liquidation by a court or governmental authority having supervision or jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the Issuer. Availability of Information from MSRB The Issuer has agreed to provide the foregoing financial information and operating data only as described above. Investors will be able to access continuing disclosure information filed with the MSRB free of charge at www.emma.msrb.org. Limitations and Amendments The Issuer has agreed to update information and to provide notices of certain specified events only as described above. The Issuer has not agreed to provide other information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of its financial results of operations, condition, or prospects or agreed to update any information that is provided, except as described above. The Issuer makes no representation or warranty concerning such information or concerning its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Bonds at any future date. The Issuer disclaims any contractual or tort liability for damages resulting in whole or in part from any breach of its continuing disclosure agreement or from any statement made pursuant to its agreement, although holders or beneficial owners of Bonds may seek a writ of mandamus to compel the Issuer to comply with its agreement. The Issuer may amend its continuing disclosure agreement 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 Issuer, if the agreement, as amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Bonds in the offering described herein in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule to the date of such amendment, as well as such changed circumstances, and either the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds consent or any person unaffiliated with the Issuer (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determines that the amendment will not materially impair the interests of the beneficial owners of the Bonds. The Issuer may also repeal or amend these provisions 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 the provisions of this sentence would not prevent an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds giving effect to (a) such 23 provisions as so amended and (b) any amendments or interpretations of the Rule. If the Issuer amends its agreement, it must include with the next financial information and operating data provided in accordance with its agreement described above under "Annual Reports" an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of information and data provided. Compliance with Prior Agreements For the last five years, the District has complied in all material respects with its previous continuing disclosure agreements made in accordance with the Rule. OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION Legal Matters The delivery of the Bonds is subject to the receipt of an approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas to the effect that the Bonds are valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, and the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel, to like effect and to the effect that the interest on the Bonds will be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under section 103(a) of the Code, subject to the matters described under "TAX MATTERS" herein, including the alternative minimum tax on corporations. The form of Bond Counsel's opinion is attached hereto as Appendix C. The legal fee to be paid to Bond Counsel for services rendered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Bonds. Though it represents the Financial Advisor and the Underwriter from time to time in matters unrelated to the issuance of the Bonds, Bond Counsel has been engaged by and only represents the Issuer in the issuance of the Bonds. Except as noted below, Bond Counsel did not take part in the preparation of the Official Statement, and such firm has not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto or undertaken independently to verify any of the information contained herein except that in its capacity as Bond Counsel, such firm has reviewed the information appearing under captions "PLAN OF FINANCING", "THE BONDS" (except for subcaptions "Yield on Premium Capital Appreciation Bonds", "Default and Remedies" and "Payment Record" and the second and third sentences under the subcaption "Issuance of Additional Debt"), "TAX MATTERS," "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION" (exclusive of the subcaption "Compliance With Prior Agreements"), and the subcaptions "Legal Matters" (except for the last two sentences of the second paragraph thereof), "Registration and Qualification of Bonds for Sale" and "Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas" under the caption "OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION" to determine whether such information accurately and fairly summarizes the material and documents referred to therein and is correct as to matters of law, and that such information conforms to the Order. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriter by Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Dallas, Texas, Counsel for the Underwriter. The legal fees to be paid to Counsel to the Underwriter are contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Bonds. The legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds express the professional judgment of the respective attorneys rendering the opinions as to the legal issues explicitly addressed therein. In rendering a legal opinion, the attorney does not become an insurer or guarantor of that expression of professional judgment, of the transaction opined upon, or of the future performance of the parties to the transaction. Nor does the rendering of an opinion guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute that may arise out of the transaction. Registration and Qualification of Bonds for Sale The sale of the Bonds has not been registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption provided thereunder by Section 3(a)(2); and the Bonds have not been qualified under the Securities Act of Texas in reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Bonds been qualified under the securities acts of any jurisdiction. The Issuer assumes no responsibility for qualification of the Bonds under the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which the Bonds may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred. This disclaimer of responsibility for qualification for sale or other disposition of the Bonds shall not be construed as an interpretation of any kind with regard to the availability of any exemption from securities registration provisions. Litigation In the opinion of District officials, the Issuer is not a party to any litigation or other proceeding pending or to its knowledge, threatened, in any court, agency or other administrative body (either state or federal) which, if decided adversely to the Issuer, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the District. Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas Section 1201.041 of the Public Security Procedures Act (Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code) provides that the Bonds are negotiable instruments, investment securities governed by Chapter 8, Texas Business and Commerce Code, and are real and authorized investments for insurance companies, fiduciaries, and trustees, and for the sinking funds of municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State. With respect to investment in the Bonds by municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State, the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code, requires that the Bonds be assigned a rating of at least "A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency. See 24 "RATINGS" herein. In addition, various provisions of the Texas Finance Code provide that, subject to a prudent investor standard, obligations such as the Bonds are legal investments for state banks, savings banks, trust companies with capital of one million dollars or more, and savings and loan associations. The Bonds are eligible to secure deposits of any public funds of the State, its agencies, and its political subdivisions, and are legal security for those deposits to the extent of their fair market value. No review by the District has been made of the laws in other states to determine whether the Bonds are legal investments for various institutions in those states. No representation is made that the Bonds will be acceptable to public entities to secure their deposits or acceptable to such institutions for investment purposes. The District has made no investigation of other laws, rules, regulations or investment criteria which might apply to any such persons or entities or which might otherwise limit the suitability of the Bonds for any of the foregoing purposes or limit the authority of such persons or entities to purchase or invest in the Bonds for such purposes. Underwriting The Underwriter has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the Bonds from the Issuer at a price of $ (representing the par amount of the Bonds of $ , plus an original issue premium of $ , less an Underwriter's discount of $ ), plus accrued interest on the Bonds to the date of initial delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriter. The Underwriter's obligation is subject to certain conditions precedent. The Underwriter will be obligated to purchase all of the Bonds, if any of the Bonds are purchased. The Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including the Underwriter and other dealers depositing Bonds into investment trusts) and others at prices lower than such public offering prices, and such public prices may be changed, from time to time, by the Underwriter. The Underwriter has provided the following sentence for inclusion in this Official Statement. The Underwriter has reviewed the information in this Official Statement in accordance with, and as part of, its responsibilities to investors under federal securities laws as applied to the facts and circumstances of this transaction, but the Underwriter does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information.

B-3 [This page is intentionally left blank.] APPENDIX C FORM OF LEGAL OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL Proposed Form of Opinion of Bond Counsel An opinion in substantially the following form will be delivered by McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Bond Counsel, upon the delivery of the Bonds, assuming no material changes in facts or law. [DATE OF DELIVERY] TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 UNLIMITED TAX REFUNDING BONDS SERIES 2012 DATED MARCH 1,2012 IN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $ AS BOND COUNSEL FOR TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 (the "District") issuer of the Bonds described above (the "Bonds"), we have examined into the legality and validity of the Bonds, which bear interest from the dates and mature on the dates, and are subject to redemption, in accordance with the terms and conditions stated in the text of the Bonds. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given in the Order of the District authorizing the issuance and sale of the Bonds (the "Order"). WE HAVE EXAMINED the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and other documents authorizing and relating to the issuance of said Bonds, including one of the executed Bonds (Bond Number T-1), and specimens of Bonds to be authenticated and delivered in exchange for the Bonds. BASED ON SAID EXAMINATION, IT IS OUR OPINION THAT the Bonds have been authorized and issued and the Bonds delivered concurrently with this opinion have been duly delivered, and that, assuming due authentication, Bonds issued in exchange therefor will have been duly delivered, in accordance with law, and that said Bonds, except as may be limited by laws applicable to the District relating to bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar matters affecting creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the District, payable from ad valorem taxes to be levied and collected by the District upon taxable property within the District, which taxes the District has covenanted to levy in an amount sufficient to pay the interest on and the principal of the Bonds. Such covenant to levy taxes is subject to the right of a city, under existing Texas law, to annex all of the territory within the District; to take over all properties and assets of the District; to assume all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the District, including the Bonds; and to abolish the District or if the District consolidates with another District. IT IS FURTHER OUR OPINION, except as discussed below, that the interest on the Bonds is excludable from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes under the statutes, regulations, published rulings, and court decisions existing on the date of this opinion. We are further of the opinion that the Bonds are not "specified private activity bonds" and that, accordingly, interest on the Bonds will not be included as an individual or corporate alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). In expressing the aforementioned opinions, we have relied on, certain representations, the accuracy of which we have not independently verified, and assume compliance with certain covenants regarding the use and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds and the use of the property financed or refinced therewith. We call your attention to the fact that if such representations are determined to be inaccurate or if the Issuer fails to comply with such covenants, interest on the Bonds may become includable in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, we express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of the Bonds. WE CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT the interest on tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, is included in a corporation's alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of determining the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. OUR OPINIONS ARE BASED ON EXISTING LAW, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"); rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that we deem relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to determine compliance with rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published procedures the Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer. We observe that the Issuer has covenanted not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, may result in the treatment of interest on the Bonds as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. WE EXPRESS NO OPINION as to any insurance policies issued with respect to the payments due for the principal of and interest on the Bonds, nor as to any such insurance policies issued in the future. OUR SOLE ENGAGEMENT in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is as Bond Counsel for the Issuer, and, in that capacity, we have been engaged by the Issuer for the sole purpose of rendering our opinions with respect to the legality and validity of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and with respect to the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes, and for no other reason or purpose. The foregoing opinions represent our legal judgment based upon a review of existing legal authorities that we deem relevant to render such opinions and are not a guarantee of a result. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not independently investigated or verified, any records, data, or other material relating to the financial condition or capabilities of the Issuer, or the disclosure thereof in connection with the sale of the Bonds, and have not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto. We express no opinion and make no comment with respect to the marketability of the Bonds. Our role in connection with the Issuer's Official Statement prepared for use in connection with the sale of the Bonds has been limited as described therein. Respectfully, APPENDIX D EXCERPTS FROM THE DISTRICT'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (Independent Auditor's Report, General Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements - not intended to be a complete statement of the Issuer's financial condition. Reference is made to the complete Annual Financial Report for further information.) Follexit: and Company PLLC / / f I Certified Public Accountants INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Board of Directors Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 Trophy Club, Texas We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1, (the District), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011, which collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the District's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, and each major fund of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 as of September 30, 2011, and the changes in financial position for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The management's discussion and analysis, and budgetary comparison information on pages 3 through 10 and 35 through 36, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. 1 LaFollett & Company PLLC PO Box 717 • Tom Bean, TX • 75489 903-546-6975 • vvvvw.lafollettcpa.com In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have issued a report dated January 31, 2012 on our consideration of the District's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants.

The report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 's basic financial statements.

LaFollett & Company, PLLC Tom Bean, Texas January 31, 2012 2 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2011 3 Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1, Texas (the "District") Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is a narrative overview and analysis designed to provide the reader a means to identify and understand the financial activity of the District and changes in the District's financial position during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The Management's Discussion and Analysis is supplemental to, and should be considered along with, the District's financial statements. Financial Highlights At the close of the fiscal year, the assets of the District exceeded its liabilities by $12,262,122. Of this amount, $3,123,113 is unrestricted net assets and may be used to meet the District's ongoing commitments. The District's net assets increased by $1,991,485 as a result of operations. At the end of the fiscal year, the District's governmental type funds reported a combined fund balance of $3,143,822. As of September 30, 2011, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $2,509,429, which is equal to 42% of total General Fund expenditures. The governmental long-term debt bond obligations of the District decreased by $1,115,000. Overview of the Financial Statements The MD&A is intended to introduce the reader to the District's basic financial statements, which are comprised of three components: 1. Government-Wide Financial Statements, 2. Fund Financial Statements, and 3. Notes to Basic Financial Statements. The report also contains other required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. Government-Wide Financial Statements - the government wide financial statements are designed to provide the reader with a general overview of the District's finances in a way that is comparable with financial statements from the private sector. The government-wide financial statements consist of two statements: 1. The Statement of Net Assets - (Page 11) this statement presents information on all of the District's assets and liabilities; the difference between the two is reported as net assets. Over an extended period, the increase or decrease in net assets will serve as a good indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating. TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 Overview of the Financial Statements - continued 2. The Statement of Activities - (Page 12) gives information showing how the District's net assets have changed during the fiscal year. All revenues and expenses are reported on the full accrual basis. Fund Financial Statements - Fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most important funds and not about the District as a whole as in the government-wide financial statements. The District uses fund accounting to demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements which can be categorized as governmental fund activities. Governmental Funds - All of the District's activities are reported in governmental funds. They are used to account for those functions known as governmental activities. But unlike government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on how monies flow into and out of those funds and their resulting balances at the end of the fiscal year. Statements of governmental funds provide a detailed short-term view of the District's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Such information can be useful in evaluating a government's short-term financing requirements. The District maintains three governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund and Capital Projects Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. The District adopts annual appropriated budgets for the General Fund and Debt Service Funds. A budgetary comparison statement is provided for each annually budgeted fund to demonstrate compliance with its budget. Notes to the Basic Financial Statements - The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data presented in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be found on pages 17-34. 4 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2011 Governmental Governmental Activities Activities 2011 2010 Current and other $ 4,782,322 $ 6,211,302 Capital assets 16,742,462 14,187,749 Total Assets 21,524,784 20,399,051 Long-term liabilities 6,850,903 9,080,647 Other liabilities 2,411,759 1,047,767 Total liabilities 9,262,662 10,128,414 Net Assets: Invested in capital assets, net of related debt 9,031,162 7,648,983 Restricted 107,847 262,048 Unrestricted 3,123,113 2,359,606 Total Net Assets (FY10 restated) $ 12,262,122 $ 10,270,637 5 Overview of the Financial Statements - continued Government-wide Financial Analysis The management discussion and analysis highlights the information provided in both the Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities in the government-wide financial statements. It may serve over an extended period of time, as a useful indicator of the District's financial position. At the end of the fiscal year, the District's assets exceeded liabilities by $12,262,122. Of this amount $9,031,162 (74%) reflects the District's investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation), less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The District uses these capital assets to provide service to the community; therefore these assets are not available for future spending. Table 1 Condensed Statements of Net Assets TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2011 District operational analysis - The following table provides a summary analysis of the District's consolidated operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Governmental activities have increased the District's net assets by $1,991,485, which amounts to a 19% increase in net assets for the year ended September 30, 2011.

The 6 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2011 information derived from these funds is highly useful in assessing the District's financial requirements. The unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the government's net resources available for use at the fiscal year-end. At the end of the fiscal year, the District's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $3,143,822, of which 70%, or $2,206,963, is unassigned and available to the District for future spending. Additional fund balances of $107,847 are assigned to pay debt service. General Fund budgetary highlights Revenue: Revenues were $1,072,966 more than budgeted • Water and wastewater charges were $973,696 (22%) more than budgeted. The budget was based on a normal year, but the District experienced dry, hot weather increasing the use of water. Expenses: Expenses were $396,693 less than budgeted • Water operations were $179,979 more than budgeted due to a higher water use during above average summer heat and dry weather. • The Fire Department had a $436,517 positive budget variance (see page 35) for 2011 expenditures before transfers and capital outlays. After these items are considered, the positive variance was $50,517. Debt Service Fund: • Actual debt service fund revenue was $12,921 more than budgeted due to the payment of delinquent taxes. The debt service expenses were $1,040 less than budgeted. • The debt service fund reserves decreased from $272,132 to $ 107,847. Overall: • Governmental type funds revenue totaled $8,080,851 while expenditures totaled $9,927,933. • Total governmental type fund balances decreased from $4,990,903 to $3,143,821; a decrease of $1,847,082 or 37%. The decrease was expected due to the Capital Projects Fund's use of $2 million of prior year bond proceeds for fiscal year 2011 capital outlays. 7 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 Capital Asset and Debt Administration The District's investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of September 30, 2011 amounted to $16,742,462, net of accumulated depreciation. This represents a broad range of capital assets including, but not limited to land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, vehicles, and water, wastewater treatment, and wastewater collection systems. Capital assets increased approximately 17% during 2011 primarily due to the completion of the new fire department facility. The Capital Projects Fund expenditure for this facility in 2011 was approximately $2.5 million. A management review of annual depreciation for capital assets was completed during the fiscal year and identified approximately $665,000 of depreciation that had over accumulated through the end of fiscal year 2010. Beginning fiscal year 2011 accumulated depreciation and net assets have been adjusted accordingly. Additional information about capital assets may be found in Note 5 in the notes to financial statements. Debt administration Long-Term Debt - at the end of the current fiscal year the consolidated District had $7,789,214 of general obligation bonds, contractual obligation bonds, notes payable, capital lease obligations, and accrued compensated absences, a decrease of 14% from the previous fiscal year. Of this amount, $7,511,201 is backed by the full faith and credit of the government. The District had no new debt for fiscal year 2011.

These include recognizing the change in deferred revenue and various other items.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. General Statement Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the District) was created by an order of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) (formerly the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission) on March 4, 1975 and confirmed by the electorate of the District at a confirmation election on October 7, 1975. The Board of Director's held its first meeting on April 24, 1975. The Bonds were first sold on June 8, 1976. The District operates pursuant to Article XVI, Chapter 59 of the Texas Constitution and Chapter 54 of the Texas Water Code, as amended. On May 9, 2009, citizens voted to consolidate the District and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 (MUD2). As a result, the District reports consolidated activity and balances for the District and the entities formerly known as MUD2 and the Trophy Club Master District Joint Venture (a joint venture of MUD 1 and MUD2). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for the District. The financial statements of the District have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. B. Financial Reporting Entity As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements include the activities of the District and any organizations for which the District is financially accountable or for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The definition of the reporting entity is based primarily on the notion of financial accountability. A primary government is financially accountable for the organizations that make up its legal entity. It is also financially accountable for legally separate organizations if its officials appoint a voting majority of an organization's governing body and either it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific financial burdens on, the primary government. A primary government may also be financially accountable for governmental organizations that are fiscally dependent on it. A primary government has the ability to impose its will on an organization if it can significantly influence the programs, projects, or activities of, or the level of services performed or provided by, the organization. A financial benefit or burden relationship exists if the primary government (a) is entitled to the organization's resources; (b) is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization; or (c) is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization. Some organizations are included as component units because of their fiscal dependency on the primary government. An organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government if it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval by the primary government. Accordingly, the District has no component units. 17 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED C. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all of the activities of the District, except for fiduciary funds. The effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The activities of the District are comprised only of governmental activities. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given program are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific program. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given program and 2) operating or capital grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Fund Financial Statements The District segregates transactions related to certain functions or activities in separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. These statements present each major fund as a separate column on the fund financial statements. The District does not report any non-major funds. Governmental funds are those funds through which most governmental functions typically are financed. The measurement focus of governmental funds is on the sources, uses and balance of current financial resources. The District has presented the following major governmental funds: General Fund The General Fund is the main operating fund of the District. This fund is used to account for all financial resources not accounted for in other funds. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund. Debt Service Fund The Debt Service Fund is used to account for resources accumulated and payments made for principal and interest on the long-term debt of governmental funds. Capital Projects Fund The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for funds received and expended for the acquisition and construction of infrastructure and other capital assets. 18 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The government-wide statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The economic resources measurement focus means all assets and liabilities (whether current or non-current) are included on the statement of net assets and the operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned. Expenses are recognized at the time the liability is incurred. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual; i.e., when they become both measurable and available. "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The District considers receivables collected within sixty days after year-end to be available and recognizes them as revenues of the current year. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due. The revenues susceptible to accrual are interest income and ad valorem taxes. All other governmental fund revenues are recognized when received. E. Cash and Investments The District's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The District's investment policy requires that all monies be deposited with the authorized District depository or in (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities; (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3) other obligations, the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the United States; (4) obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state having been rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a rating of not less than A or its equivalent; (5) certificates of deposit by state and national banks domiciled in this state that are (A) guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit 19 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED E. Cash and Investments - Continued Insurance Corporation, or its successor; or, (B) secured by obligations that are described by (1) - (4); or, (6) fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a defined termination date, secured by obligations described by (1), pledged with third party selected or approved by the District, and placed through a primary government securities dealer. All investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. F. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, and equipment, are reported in the government-wide financial statements. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are valued at their fair market value on the date donated. Repairs and maintenance are recorded as expenses. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Interest has not been capitalized during the construction period on property, plant and equipment. Assets capitalized have an original cost of $5,000 or more and over one year of useful life. Depreciation has been calculated on each class of depreciable property using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings 50 Years Improvements other than buildings 15-30 Years Machinery and equipment 5-15 Years Vehicles 6-12 Years Water and wastewater systems 30 - 65 Years G. Accumulated Vacation, Compensated Time and Sick Leave The District has no employees of its own, but instead, personnel services are furnished under a contract with the Town of Trophy Club, Texas. The District records an allocation of personnel costs from the Town in personnel expense accounts rather than as single line item payable to the Town. Accordingly, the District also records current payroll and an allocation in compensated absences earned by the personnel assigned to it. The District reports this liability using the Town's vacation policy; however, the Town retains primary liability for its employee vacation pay. 20 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICffiS - CONTINUED H. Organizational Costs The District, in conformance with requirements of the TCEQ, capitalized costs incurred in the creation of the District. The TCEQ requires capitalization of organizational costs for the construction period, all costs incurred in the issue and sale of bonds, bond interest and amortized bond premium and discount losses on sales of investments, accrued interest on investments purchased, attorney fees and some administrative expenses until construction and acceptance or use of the first revenue producing facility has occurred. The District amortizes the organizational costs using the straight-line method over a period of 22 to 45 years. I. Net Assets Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets, and adding back unspent proceeds. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislations adopted by the District or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments. J. Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses/expenditures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. K. Fund Balances The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions (GASB 54). This Statement defines the different types of fund balances that a governmental entity must use for financial reporting purposes in the fund financial statements for governmental type funds. It does not apply for the government-wide financial statements. GASB 54 requires the fund balance amounts to be properly reported within one of the following fund balance categories: Nonspendable - such as fund balance associated with inventories, prepaids, long-term loans and notes receivable, and property held for resale (unless the proceeds are restricted, committed, or assigned) 21 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED K. Fund Balances - Continued Restricted - fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation, Committed - fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the Board of Directors (the district's highest level of decision-making authority), Assigned - fund balance classification are intended to be used by the government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed, and Unassigned - fund balance is the residual classification for the government's general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications, and other fund's that have total negative fund balances. NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS The funds of the District must be deposited and invested under the terms of a contract, contents of which are set out in the Depository Contract Law. The depository bank places approved pledged securities for safekeeping and trust with the District's agent bank in an amount sufficient to protect District funds on a day-to-day basis during the period of the contract. The pledge of approved securities is waived only to the extent of the depository bank's dollar amount of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance. At September 30, 2011, the carrying amount of the District's deposits (cash, certificates of deposit, and interest-bearing savings accounts included in temporary investments) was $619,096 and the bank balance was $848,446. The District's cash deposits at September 30, 2011, and during the year then ended were entirely covered by FDIC insurance or by pledged collateral held by the District's agent bank in the District's name. The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific provisions in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of appropriate policies. Among other things, it requires the District to adopt, implement, and publicize an investment policy. That policy must address the following areas; (1) safety of principal and liquidity, (2) portfolio diversification, (3) allowable investments, (4) acceptable risk levels, (5) expected rates of return, (6) maximum allowable stated maturity of portfolio investments, (7) maximum average dollar-weighted maturity, allowed based on the stated maturity date for the portfolio, (8) investment staff quality and capabilities, (9) and bid solicitation preferences for certificates of deposit. 22 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED Statutes and the District's investment policy authorized the District to invest in the following investments as summarized below: Maximum Maximum Authorized Maximum Percentage Investment Investment Type Maturity of Portfolio In One Issuer U.S. Treasury Obligations 2 years 85% NA U.S. Agencies Securities 2 years 85% NA State of Texas Securities 2 years 85% NA Certificates of Deposits 2 years 85% NA Municipal Securities 2 years 85% NA Money Market 2 years 50% NA Mutual Funds 2 years 50% NA Investment pools 2 years 100% NA The Act also requires the District to have independent auditors perform test procedures related to investment practices as provided by the Act. The District is in substantial compliance with the requirements of the Act and with local policies. Cash and investments as of September 30, 2011 are classified in the accompanying financial statements as follows: Statement of Net Assets Primary Government: Cash and cash equivalents $3,514,926 Total cash and investments $ 3,514,926 Cash and investments as of September 30, 2011 consist of the following: Deposits with financial institutions $ 619,096 Investments 2,895,830 Total cash and investments $ 3,514,926 The District's cash and investments balance includes $187,087 which is restricted for customer deposits. 23 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the District manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by investing mainly in investment pools which purchase a combination of shorter term investments with an average maturity of less than 60 days thus reducing the interest rate risk. The District monitors the interest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by measuring the weighted average maturity of its portfolio. The District has no specific limitations with respect to this metric. As of September 30, 2011, the District had the following investment: Investment Type Amount Weighted Average Maturity TexPool Total Investments $ 2,895,830 $ 2,895,830 34 days As of September 30, 2011, the District did not invest in any securities which are highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the Public Funds Investment Act, the District's investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type. Investment Type Amount Minimum Legal Rating Rating as of Year End TexPool $ 2,895,830 N/A AAAm Total Investments 2,895,830 Concentration of Credit Risk The investment policy of the District contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer. As of September 30, 2011, other than external investment pools, the District did not have 5% or more of its investments with one issuer. 24 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The Public Funds Investment Act and the District's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The Public Funds Investment Act requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least the bank balance less FDIC insurance at all times. As of September 30, 2011 the District deposits with financial institutions were not in excess of federal depository insurance limits. Investment in State Investment Pools The District is a voluntary participant in TexPool. The State Comptroller of Public Accounts exercises responsibility over TexPool. This oversight includes the ability to significantly influence operations, designation of management, and accountability for fiscal matters. Additionally, the State Comptroller has established an advisory board composed of both participants in TexPool and other persons who do not have a business relationship with TexPool. TexPool operates in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. TexPool uses amortized costs rather than market value to report net assets to compute share prices. Accordingly, the fair value of the position in TexPool is the same as the value of TexPool shares. 25 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 3.

The outstanding bonds are callable for redemption prior to maturity at the option of the District as follows: Series 1997 - All maturities from 2008 to 2011 are callable in principal increments of $5,000 on or after September 1, 2007 at par plus unpaid accrued interest to the fixed date for redemptions. Series 2002 - All maturities from 2013 to 2023 are callable in principal increments of $5,000 on or after September 1, 2012 at par plus unpaid accrued interest to the fixed date for redemptions. Series 2003 - No bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity. Series 2003 (debt issued by the entity formerly known as MUD 2) - All maturities from 2013 to 2023 are callable in principal increments of $5,000 on or after September 1, 2012 at par plus unpaid accrued interest to the fixed date for redemptions. Series 2005 - All maturities from 2014 to 2023 are callable in principal increments of $5,000 on or after September 1, 2013 at par plus unpaid accrued interest to the fixed date for redemptions. Contractual obligations and notes payable are liquidated from the general fund. Tax and revenue bonds are liquidated from the debt service fund.

PROPERTY TAXES Property taxes are levied as of October 1, on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1, for all real and certain personal property located in the District and MUD2 (the "Districts"). The appraisal of property within the District is the responsibility of Denton Appraisal District (Appraisal District) as required by legislation passed by the Texas legislature. The Appraisal District is required under such legislation to assess all property within the Appraisal District on the basis of 100% of its appraised value and is prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. The value of property within the Appraisal District must be reviewed every five years; however, the District may, at its own expense, require annual reviews of appraised values.

The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the terms and provisions of an order (the "Bond Order") of the Board of Directors of the District (the "Board") and in accordance with the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas (the "State"), including particularly Chapter 1207, Texas Government Code, as amended ("Chapter 1207"). In the Bond Order, the District delegated pricing of the Bonds and certain other matters to a "Pricing Officer" who approved a "Pricing Certificate" which contains the final terms of sale and completed the sale of the Bonds (the Bond Order and the Pricing Certificate are jointly referred to herein as the "Order"). (See "THE BONDS - Security for Payment" herein.) Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this Official Statement have the same meaning assigned to such terms in the Order. Included in this Official Statement are descriptions of the Bonds, the Order, and certain information about the District and its finances. ALL DESCRIPTIONS OF DOCUMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE SUMMARIES ONLY AND ARE QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO EACH SUCH DOCUMENT. Copies of such documents may be obtained from the District or Financial Advisor. PLAN OF FINANCING Purpose Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds are being used to (i) refund for debt service savings the District's outstanding Unlimited Tax Bonds, Series 2002 (the "Refunded Bonds") (see "Schedule I - Schedule Of Refunded Bonds" attached hereto) and (ii) to pay the costs related to the issuance of the Bonds. Refunded Bonds A description and identification of the Refunded Bonds appears in Schedule I attached hereto. The Refunded Bonds, and interest due thereon, are to be paid on September 1, 2012 (the "Redemption Date"), from funds to be deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas (the "Escrow Agent") or its successor. The Order approves and authorizes the execution of an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") between the District and the Escrow Agent. The Order provides that, from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds received from the Underwriter, the District will deposit the amount necessary to accomplish the discharge and final payment of tfre;Refunded Bonds on the Redemption Date. Such funds will be held uninvested by the Escrow Agent pending their disbursement to redeem the Refunded Bonds on the Redemption Date. The Escrow Agent, as the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds, will determine and certify at the time of delivery of the Bonds that the amounts deposited to the Escrow Fund will equal an amount sufficient to pay, on the scheduled Redemption Date, the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds. Under the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Fund is irrevocably pledged to the payment of principal of and interest on the Refunded Obligations and amounts therein will not be available to pay the Bonds. By deposit of the funds with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the District will have effected the defeasance of all of the Refunded Bonds in accordance with Texas law. As a result of such defeasance, the Refunded Bonds will be outstanding only for the purpose of receiving payments from the funds held for such purpose by the Escrow Agent and such Refunded Bonds will not be deemed as being outstanding obligations of the District payable from taxes nor for the purpose of applying any limitation on the issuance of debt, and the obligation of the District to make payments in support of the debt service on the Refunded Bonds will be extinguished. 1 SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be applied approximately as follows: Sources of Funds Par Amount of Bonds $2,355,000.00 Accrued Interest on the Bonds 675.00 Original Issue Premium 136.075.20 Total Sources of Funds $2.491.750.20 Uses of Funds Deposit to Escrow Fund $2,411,156.25 Cost of Issuance 55,000.00 Underwriter's Discount 20,817.50 Accrued Interest Deposit to Debt Service Fund 675.00 Additional Proceeds Deposit to the Debt Service Fund 4.101.45 Total Uses of Funds $2.491.750.20 THE BONDS General Description The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form in principal denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof within a stated maturity. The Bonds shall bear interest from the March 1, 2012 on the unpaid principal amounts, and the amount of interest to be paid each payment period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Bonds will be payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year commencing September 1, 2012, until maturity or prior redemption. Principal of the Bonds is payable at the designated offices of the Paying Agent/Registrar, initially The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas; provided, however, that so long as Cede & Co. (or other DTC nominee) is the registered owner of the Bonds, all payments will be made as described under "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein. Interest on the Bonds shall be paid to the registered owners whose names appear on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the Record Date (as hereinafter defined) and shall be paid by the Paying Agent/Registrar (i) by check sent United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address of the registered owner recorded in the Security Register or (ii) by such other method, acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar, requested by, and at the risk and expense of, the registered owner. If the date for any payment on the Bonds shall be a Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday or a day when banking institutions in the city where the designated payment/transfer office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized to be closed, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not such a day, and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the date payment was due. Authority for Issuance The Bonds are issued by the District pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Order and the Constitution and general laws of the State, particularly Chapter 1207. Security for Payment The Bonds will constitute valid and legally binding direct obligations of the District payable from the proceeds of a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax levied by the District against all taxable property located therein, without legal limit as to rate or amount. The Order irrevocably pledges such ad valorem taxes to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds while the same remain outstanding. Neither the State of Texas, Denton or Tarrant Counties, Texas nor any political subdivision or municipality, other than the District shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Texas or Denton or Tarrant Counties, Texas or any political subdivision or municipality thereof, other than the District, is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on or the redemption price of the Bonds. Tax Pledge: The Board covenants in the Order that, while any of the Bonds are outstanding and the District is in existence, it will levy and assess a continuing ad valorem tax upon each $100 valuation of taxable property within the District at a rate from year to year sufficient, full allowance being made for anticipated delinquencies, together with revenues and receipts from other sources which are legally available for such purposes, to pay interest on the Bonds as it becomes due, to provide for the payment of principal of the Bonds when due or the redemption price at any earlier redemption date, to pay when due any other contractual obligations of the District payable in whole or in part from taxes, and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such tax. The Board additionally covenants in the Order to timely assess and collect such tax. The net proceeds from taxes levied to pay debt service on the Bonds are required to be placed in a special account of the District designated as the "Debt Service Fund" for the Bonds. 2 Abolition: Under Texas law, If a district is located wholly in two or more municipalities and in an unincorporated area, the district may be abolished by agreement among the district and all of the municipalities in which parts of the district are located. The abolition agreement must provide for the distribution of assets and liabilities (including the Bonds) of the abolished district. The agreement must also provide for the distribution among one or more of the municipalities the pro rata assets and liabilities located in the unincorporated area and must provide for service to customers in unincorporated areas in the service area of the abolished district. The municipality that provides the service in the unincorporated area may charge its usual and customary fees and assessments to the customers in that area. No representation is made concerning the likelihood of abolition or the ability of the municipalities which contain parts of the District to make debt service payments on the Bonds should abolition occur. Consolidation: A district (such as the District) has the legal authority to consolidate with other municipal utility districts and in connection therewith, to provide for the consolidation of its assets, such as cash and the utility system, with the water and wastewater systems of districts with which it is consolidating as well as its liabilities (which would include the Bonds). The District is the resulting entity from a consolidation in May 2009 of Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 (see "THE DISTRICT"). Payment Record The District has never defaulted on the timely payment of principal of and interest on its general obligation indebtedness. Flow of Funds and Investment of Funds The Bond Order creates a Debt Service Fund. The Debt Service Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the District. Any cash balance in the Debt Service Fund must be continuously secured, to the extent that the United States or an instrumentality of the United States does not insure the cash balance, by a valid pledge to the District of securities eligible under the laws of Texas to secure the funds of municipal utility districts having an aggregate market value, exclusive of accrued interest, at all times equal to the cash balance in the fund to which such securities are pledged. The Bond Order establishes the Debt Service Fund to be used to pay principal and interest on the Bonds. The Bond Order requires that the District deposit to the credit of the Debt Service Fund (i) from the delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser, the amount received from proceeds of the Bonds representing accrued interest, (ii) District ad valorem taxes (and penalties and interest thereon) levied to pay debt service requirements on the Bonds, and (iii) such other funds as the Board shall, at its option, deem advisable. The Bond Order requires that the Debt Service Fund be applied solely to provide for the payment of the principal or redemption price of and interest on the Bonds when due, and to pay fees to the Paying Agent when due. Redemption Provisions Optional Redemption: The District reserves the right, at its option, to redeem the Bonds maturing on and after September 1, 2021 on September 1, 2020, or any date thereafter, in whole or in part, in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (and, if within a stated maturity, selected at random and by lot by the Paying Agent/Registrar), at the redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to a redemption date for the Bonds, the District shall cause a notice of such redemption to be sent by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the registered owners of each Bond or a portion thereof to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice. With respect to any optional redemption of the Bonds, unless certain prerequisites to such redemption required by the Order have been met and money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to be redeemed will have^en received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice will state that said redemption may, at the option of the District, be conditional upon the satisfaction of such prerequisites and receipt of such money by the Paying Agent/Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption or upon any prerequisite set forth in such notice of redemption. If a conditional notice of redemption is given and such prerequisites to the redemption are not fulfilled, such notice will be of no force and effect, the District will not redeem such Bonds, and the Paying Agent/Registrar will give notice in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that such Bonds have not been redeemed. ANY NOTICE OF REDEMPTION SO MAILED TO THE REGISTERED OWNERS WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN DULY GIVEN IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER RECEIVED BY ANY HOLDER OF THE BONDS, AND, SUBJECT TO PROVISION FOR PAYMENT OF THE REDEMPTION PRICE HAVING BEEN MADE, AND ANY PRECONDITIONS STATED IN THE NOTICE OF REDEMPTION HAVING BEEN SATISFIED INTEREST ON THE REDEEMED BONDS SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE FROM AND AFTER SUCH REDEMPTION DATE NOTWITHSTANDING THAT A BOND HAS NOT BEEN PRESENTED FOR PAYMENT. 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 Bonds or portions thereof which are to be so redeemed. If such notice of redemption is given and if due provision for such payment is made, all as provided above, the Bonds or portion thereof which are to be redeemed thereby automatically shall be treated as redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, and they shall not bear interest after the date fixed for redemption, and they shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the registered owner to receive the redemption price from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. 3 The Paying Agent/Registrar and the Issuer, so long as a Book-Entry-Only System is used for the Bonds, will send any notice of redemption, notice of proposed amendment to the Bonds or other notices with respect to the Bonds only to DTC. Any failure by DTC to advise any DTC participant, or of any DTC participant or indirect participant to notify the Beneficial Owner, will not affect the validity of the redemption of the Bonds called for redemption or any other action premised on any such notice. Redemption of portions of the Bonds by the Issuer will reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Bonds held by DTC. In such event, DTC may implement, through its Book-Entry-Only System, a redemption of such Bonds held for the account of DTC participants in accordance with its rules or other agreements with DTC participants and then DTC participants and indirect participants may implement a redemption of such Bonds from the Beneficial Owners. Any such selection of Bonds to be redeemed will not be governed by the Order and will not be conducted by the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent/Registrar will have any responsibility to DTC participants, indirect participants or the persons for whom DTC participants act as nominees, with respect to the payments on the Bonds or the providing of notice to DTC participants, indirect participants, or Beneficial Owners of the selection of portions of the Bonds for redemption. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.) Termination of Book-Entry-Only System The District is initially utilizing the book-entry-only system of the DTC. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.) In the event that the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued by DTC or the District, the following provisions will be applicable to the Bonds. Payment: Principal of the Bonds will be payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption to the registered owners as shown by the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds to the Paying Agent at the designated office for payment of the Paying Agent/Registrar in Dallas, Texas (the "Designated Payment/Transfer Office"). Interest on the Bonds will be payable by check or draft, dated as of the applicable interest payment date, sent by the Paying Agent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the registered owners at their respective addresses shown on such records, or by such other method acceptable to the Paying Agent requested by registered owner at the risk and expense of the registered owner. If the date for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds shall be a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day on which banking institutions in the city where the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent is located are required or authorized by law or executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day on which banking institutions are required or authorized to close, and payment on such date shall for all purposes be deemed to have been made on the original date payment was due. Initially, the only registered owner of the Bonds will be CEDE & CO. as nominee of DTC. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.) Registration: The Bonds may be transferred and re-registered on the registration books of the Paying Agent only upon presentation and surrender thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office. A Bond also may be exchanged for a Bond or Bonds of like maturity and interest and having a like aggregate principal amount upon presentation and surrender at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office. All Bonds surrendered for transfer or exchange must be endorsed for assignment by the execution by the registered owner or his duly authorized agent of an assignment form on the Bonds or other instruction of transfer acceptable to the Paying Agent. Transfer and exchange of Bonds will be without expense or service charge to the registered owner, except for any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. A new Bond or Bonds, in lieu of the Bond being transferred or exchanged, will be delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the registered owner, at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar or by United States mail, first-class, postage prepaid. To the extent possible, new Bonds issued in an exchange or transfer of Bonds will be delivered to the registered owner not more than three (3) business days after the receipt of the Bonds to be canceled in the exchange or transfer and the denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein for a description of the system to be initially utilized in regard to ownership and transferability of the Bonds.) Limitations on Transfer of Bonds: Neither the District nor the Paying Agent shall be required to make any transfer, conversion or exchange to an assignee of the registered owner of the Bonds (i) during the period commencing on the close of business on the 15th calendar day of the month preceding each interest payment date (the "Record Date") and ending with the opening of business on the next following principal or interest payment date or (ii) with respect to any Bond called for redemption, in whole or in part, within forty- five (45) days of the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, such limitation of transfer shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled balance of a Bond. Replacement Bonds: If a Bond is mutilated, the Paying Agent will provide a replacement Bond in exchange for the mutilated bond. If a Bond is destroyed, lost or stolen, the Paying Agent will provide a replacement Bond upon (i) the filing by the registered owner with the Paying Agent of evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent of the destruction, loss or theft of the Bond and the authenticity of he registered owner's ownership and (ii) the furnishing to the Paying Agent of indemnification in an amount satisfactory to hold the District and the Paying Agent harmless. All expenses and charges associated with such indemnity and with the preparation, execution and delivery of a replacement Bond must be borne by the registered owner. The provisions of the Order relating to the replacement Bonds are exclusive and the extent lawful, preclude all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds. Defeasance of Outstanding Bonds The Order provides for the defeasance of the Bonds when payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on Bonds, plus interest thereon to the due date thereof (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, redemption, or otherwise), is provided by irrevocably depositing with a paying agent, in trust (1) money sufficient to make such payment or (2) Defeasance Securities, certified by an independent public accounting firm of national reputation to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts 4 and at such times to insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to make such payment, and all necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of the paying agent for the respective series of Bonds. The Order provides that "Defeasance Securities" means (1) direct, noncallable obligations of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, (2) noncallable obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent, (3) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent and (4) any other then authorized securities or obligations under applicable Texas state law that may be used to defease obligation such as the Bonds. There is no assurance that the current law will not be changed in a manner which would permit investments other than those described above to be made with amounts deposited to defease the Bonds. Because the Order does not contractually limit such investments, registered owners will be deemed to have consented to defeasance with such other investments, notwithstanding the fact that such investments may not be of the same investment quality as those currently permitted under State law. There is no assurance that any particular rating for U.S. Treasury securities used as Government Securities or the rating for any other Government Security will be maintained at any particular rating category. The District has additionally reserved the right, subject to satisfying the requirements of (1) and (2) above, to substitute other Defeasance Securities for the Defeasance Securities originally deposited, to reinvest the uninvested moneys on deposit for such defeasance and to withdraw for the benefit of the District moneys in excess of the amount required for such defeasance. Upon such deposit as described above, such Bonds shall no longer be regarded to be outstanding or unpaid. After firm banking and financial arrangements for the discharge and final payment or redemption of the Bonds have been made as described above, all rights of the District to initiate proceedings to call the Bonds for redemption or take any other action amending the terms of the Bonds are extinguished; provided, however, that the right to call the Bonds for redemption is not extinguished if the District: (i) in the proceedings providing for the firm banking and financial arrangements, expressly reserves the right to call the Bonds for redemption; (ii) gives notice of the reservation of that right to the owners of the Bonds immediately following the making of the firm banking and financial arrangements; and (iii) directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorize. Paying Agent/Registrar Principal of and semiannual interest on the Bonds will be paid by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas, the initial Paying Agent/Registrar (the "Paying Agent"). The Paying Agent must be a bank, trust company, financial institution or other entity duly qualified and equally authorized to serve and perform the duties as paying agent and registrar for the Bonds. Provision is made in the Order for the District to replace the Paying Agent by a resolution of the District giving notice to the Paying Agent of the termination of the appointment, stating the effective date of the termination and appointing a successor Paying Agent. If the Paying Agent is replaced by the District, the new Paying Agent shall be required to accept the previous Paying Agent's records and act in the same capacity as the previous Paying Agent. Any successor paying agent/registrar selected by the District shall be subject to the same qualification requirements as the Paying Agent. The successor paying agent/registrar, if any, shall be determined by the Board of Directors and written notice thereof, specifying the name and address of such successor paying agent/registrar will be sent by the District or the successor paying agent/registrar to each Registered Owner by first-class mail, postage prepaid. Record Date The record date for payment of the interest on Bonds on any regularly scheduled interest payment date is defined as the fifteenth day of the month preceding such interest payment date. Issuance of Additional Debt The District may issue bonds necessary to construct waterworks and sewer system improvements and facilities for which the District was created and to provide fire protection to the District, with the approval of the District's voters. Following the issuance of the Bonds, $5,769,217 unlimited tax bonds authorized by the District's voters will remain unissued. The District has no plans to issue additional general obligation debt within the next twelve months. In addition, voters may authorize the issuance of additional bonds or other contractual obligations secured by ad valorem taxes. Neither Texas law nor the Order imposes a limitation on the amount of additional debt which may be issued by the District. Any additional debt issued by the District may dilute the security of the Bonds. (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS" herein.) The District may also issue bonds secured by revenues of the water and sewer system or other revenues of the District (other than ad valorem tax revenues ) without voter approval. 5 Specific Tax Covenants In the Order the District has covenanted with respect to, among other matters, the use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the property re-financed therewith by persons other than state or local governmental units, and the manner in which the proceeds of the Bonds are to be invested. The District may cease to comply with any such covenant if it has received a written opinion of a nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under Section 103 of the Code. Additional Covenants The District has additionally covenanted in the Order that it will keep accurate records and accounts and employ an independent certified public accountant to audit and report on its financial affairs at the close of each fiscal year, such audits to be in accordance with applicable law, rules and regulations and open to inspection in the office of the District. Remedies in Event of Default The Order provides that, in addition to all other rights and remedies of any owner of Bonds provided by the laws of the State of Texas, in the event the District defaults in the observance or performance of any covenant in the Order including payment when due of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, any Bond owner may apply for a writ of mandamus from a court of competent jurisdiction requiring the Board of Directors or other officers of the District to observe or perform such covenants. The Order provides no additional remedies to a Bond owner. Specifically, the Order does not provide for an appointment of a trustee to protect and enforce the interests of the Bond owners or for the acceleration of maturity of the Bonds upon the occurrence of a default in the District's obligations. Consequently, the remedy of mandamus is a remedy, which may have to be enforced from year to year by the Bond owners (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Registered Owners' Remedies".). Under Texas law, no judgment obtained against the District may be enforced by execution of a levy against the District's public purpose property. The Bond owners themselves cannot foreclose on property within the District or sell property within the District in order to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds. In addition, the enforceability of the rights and remedies of the Bond owners may be limited by federal bankruptcy laws or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions. (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights".) The opinion of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the Order and the Bonds are qualified to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors Amendments to the Order The District may without the consent of or notice to any Bond owners amend the Order in any manner not detrimental to the interest of the Bond owners, including the curing of an ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal defect or omission therein. In addition, the District may, with the written consent of the owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding affected thereby, amend, add to, or rescind any of the provisions of the Order, except that, without the consent of the owners of all of the Bonds affected, no such amendment, addition, or rescission may (1) change the time or times of payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, change the place or places at, or the coin or currency in which, any Bond or the interest thereon is payable, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, (2) affect the right of the owners of less than all of the Bonds outstanding, or (3) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Bonds required for consent to any such amendment, addition, or rescission. In addition, a state, consistent with federal law, may in the exercise of its police powers make such modifications in the terms and conditions of contractual covenants relating to the payment of indebtedness of its political subdivisions as are reasonable and necessary for attainment of an important public purpose. RATINGS The District received a rating on the Bonds of "AA-" from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC business ("S&P"). An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from the company furnishing the rating. The rating reflects only the respective view of such companies, and the District makes no representation as to the appropriateness of the rating. There is no assurance that such rating will continue for any given period of time or that it will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by any such rating company, if, in the judgment of such company circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM This section describes how ownership of the Bonds is to be transferred and how the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds are to be paid to and credited by the Depository Trust Company while the Bonds are registered in its nominee's name. The information in this section concerning DTC and the Book-Entry-Only System has been provided by DTC for use in disclosure documents such as this Official Statement. The District and the Underwriter believe the source of such information to be reliable, but take no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. 6 The District and the Underwriter cannot and do not give any assurance? the (1) DTC will distribute payments of debt service on the Bonds, or redemption or other notices, to DTC Participant, (2) DTC Participants or others will distribute debt service payments paid to DTC or its nominee (as the registered owner of the Bonds), or redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that they will do so on a timely basis, or (3) DTC will sa/ve and act in the manner described in this Official Statement. The current rules applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the current procedures of DTC to be followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on file with DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of each maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation", within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of certificated securities. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC is rated "AA-" by Standard & Poor's. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org. Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of Bonds ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive Bonds representing their ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of the notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the Record Date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar, on the payable date in accordance with their 7 respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC nor its nominee, the Paying Agent/Registrar, or the Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of the Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Bonds are required to be printed and delivered to DTC Participants or the Beneficial Owners, as the case may be. The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bonds will be printed and delivered. (See "THE BONDS - Termination of Book-Entry-Only System" herein.) The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the Issuer and Underwriter believe to be reliable, but the Issuer and the Underwriter take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections of this Official Statement In reading this Official Statement it should be understood that while the Bonds are in the Book-Entry-Only System, references in other sections of this Official Statement to registered owners should be read to include the person for which the Direct or Indirect Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds, but (i) all rights of ownership must be exercised through DTC and the Book-Entry- Only System, and (ii) except as described above, notices that are to be given to registered owners under the Order will be given only to DTC. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS General The Bonds are obligations of the District and are not obligations of the Town of Trophy Club, State of Texas, Denton County, Tarrant County or any other political subdivision except the District. The Bonds are payable from a continuing, direct, annual ad valorem tax, without legal limitations as to rate or amount, on all taxable property within the District. (See "THE BONDS - Security for Payment" herein.) The investment quality of the Bonds depends both on the ability of the District to collect from the property owners all taxes levied against their property or, in the event of foreclosure, the value of the taxable property with respect to taxes levied by the District and by other taxing authorities. Approval of the Bonds The Attorney General of Texas must approve the legality of the Bonds prior to their delivery. The Attorney General of Texas does not pass upon or guarantee the quality of the Bonds as an investment, nor does he pass upon the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this Official Statement. Factors Affecting Taxable Values and Tax Payments Economic Factors and Interest Rates: A substantial percentage of the taxable value of the District results from the current market value of single-family residences and developed lots. The market value of such homes and lots is related to general economic conditions affecting the demand for and taxable value of residences. Demand for lots and residential dwellings can be significantly affected by factors such as interest rates, credit availability, construction costs, energy availability and the prosperity and demographic characteristics of the urban center toward which the marketing of lots is directed. Decreased levels of construction activity, which has been experienced in the District for the last several years, tend to restrict the growth of property values in the District or could adversely impact existing values. Interest rates and the availability of mortgage and development funding have a direct impact on the construction activity, particularly short-term interest rates at which developers and homebuilders are able to obtain financing for development and construction costs. Interest rate levels may affect the ability of a landowner with undeveloped property to undertake and complete development activities within the District. Because of the numerous and changing factors affecting the availability of funds, the District is unable to assess the future availability of such funds for continued development and construction within the District. In addition, the success of development within the District and growth of District's taxable property values are, to a great extent, a function of the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan and regional economics. Impact on District Tax Rates: Assuming no further development, the value of the land and improvements currently within the District will be the major determinant of the ability or willingness of District property owners to pay their taxes. The 2011 certified net taxable assessed valuation (ARB Approved) of the District (see page vii "SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION") is $954,645,475. After issuance of the Bonds the projected maximum annual debt service requirement will be $840,519 (2012) 8 and the projected average annual debt service requirement will be $463,404 (2012 through 2031, inclusive). Assuming no increase or decrease from the 2011 assessed valuation and no use of funds on hand, a tax rate of $0.08893 per $100 assessed valuation at a 99% collection rate would be necessary to pay the projected maximum annual debt service requirement of $840,519 and a tax rate of $0.04903 per $100 assessed valuation-si a 99% collection rate would be necessary to pay the projected average annual debt service requirement of $463,404. After a transfer of $308,000, representing Fire Department rental income, the District's 2011 debt service tax rate is $0.05586 per $100 assessed valuation. (See "APPENDIX A - TABLES 4 and 5" herein. Tax Collections and Foreclosure Remedies The District's ability to make debt service payments may be adversely affected by its inability to collect ad valorem taxes. Under Texas law, the levy of ad valorem taxes by the District constitutes a lien in favor of the District on a parity with the liens of all other state and local taxing authorities on the property against which taxes are levied, and such lien may be enforced by foreclosure. The District's ability to collect ad valorem taxes through such foreclosure may be impaired by (a) cumbersome, time-consuming and expensive collection procedures, (b) a bankruptcy court's stay of tax collection procedure against a taxpayer, or (c) market conditions limiting the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of taxable property. While the District has a lien on taxable property within the District for taxes levied against such property, such lien can be foreclosed only in a judicial proceeding. Because ownership of the land within the District is highly fragmented among a number of taxpayers, attorney's fees, and other costs of collecting any such taxpayer's delinquencies could substantially reduce the net proceeds to the District from a tax foreclosure sale. Finally, any bankruptcy court with jurisdiction over the bankruptcy proceedings initiated by or against a taxpayer within the District pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code could stay any attempt by the District to collect delinquent ad valorem taxes against such taxpayer. Consolidation A district (such as the District) has the legal authority to consolidate with other municipal utility districts and, in connection therewith, to provide for the consolidation of its assets, such as its water and wastewater systems with the assets of the district(s) with which it is consolidating, as well as its liabilities (which would include the Bonds and other outstanding obligations of the District). The District is the resulting entity from a consolidation in May 2009 of Prior MUD 1 and Prior MUD 2 (see "THE DISTRICT"). No representation is made that the District will consolidate again in the future with any other district. Abolition Under Texas law, If a district is located wholly in two or more municipalities and in an unincorporated area, the district may be abolished by agreement among the district and all of the municipalities in which parts of the district are located. The abolition agreement must provide for the distribution of assets and liabilities (including the Bonds) of the abolished district. The agreement must also provide for the distribution among one or more of the municipalities the pro rata assets and liabilities located in the unincorporated area and must provide for service to customers in unincorporated areas in the service area of the abolished district. The municipality that provides the service in the unincorporated area may charge its usual and customary fees and assessments to the customers in that area. No representation is made concerning the likelihood of abolition or the ability of the municipalities which contain parts of the District to make debt service payments on the Bonds should abolition occur. Alteration of Boundaries In certain circumstances, under Texas law the District may alter its boundaries to: 1) upon satisfying certain conditions, annex additional territory; and 2) exclude land subject to taxation within the District that is not served by District facilities if the District simultaneously annexes land of equal acreage and value that may be practicably served by District facilities. No representation is made concerning the likelihood that the District would effect any change in its boundaries. Registered Owners' Remedies If the District defaults in the payment of principal, interest or redemption price on the Bonds when due, or if it fails to make payments into any fund or funds created in the Order, or defaults in the observation or performance of any other covenants, conditions or obligations set forth in the Order, the registered owners may seek a writ of mandamus to compel District officials to carry out their legally imposed duties with respect to the Bonds if there is no other available remedy at law to compel performance of the covenants contained in the Bonds or in the Order and the District's obligations are not uncertain or disputed. The remedy of mandamus is controlled by equitable principles and rests with the discretion of the court. The issuance of a writ of mandamus is controlled by equitable principles and rests with the discretion of the court, but may not be arbitrarily refused. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Bonds in the event of default and, consequently, the remedy of mandamus may have to be relied upon from year to year. The Order does not provide for the appointment of a trustee to represent the interest of the bondholders upon any failure of the District to perform in accordance with the terms of the Order, or upon any other condition and accordingly all legal actions to enforce such remedies would have to be undertaken at the initiative of, and be financed by, the registered owners. The Texas Supreme Court has ruled in Tooke v. City of Mexia, 197 S.W.3d 325 (Tex. 2006) that a waiver of sovereign immunity in a contractual dispute must be provided for by statute in "clear and unambiguous" language. 9 Therefore, bondholders may not be able to bring such a suit against the District for breach of the Bonds or Order covenants. Even if a judgment against the District could be obtained, it could not be enforced by direct levy and execution against the District's property. Further, the registered owners cannot themselves foreclose on property within the District or sell property within the District to enforce the tax lien on taxable property to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights The enforceability of the rights and remedies of Bondholders may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions such as the District. Texas law requires a municipal utility district such as the District to obtain the approval of the TCEQ as a condition to seeking relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. If a petitioning district were allowed to proceed voluntarily under Chapter 9 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, it could file a plan for an adjustment of its debts. If such a plan were confirmed by the bankruptcy court, it could, among other things, affect Registered Owners by reducing or eliminating the amount of indebtedness, deferring or rearranging the debt service schedule, reducing or eliminating the interest rate, modifying or abrogating collateral or security arrangements, substituting (in whole or in part) other securities, and otherwise compromising and modifying the rights and remedies of the Registered Owner's claim against a district. Although Chapter 9 provides for the recognition of a security interest represented by a specifically pledged source of revenues, the pledge of ad valorem taxes in support of a general obligation of a bankrupt entity is not specifically recognized as a security interest under Chapter 9 and such provision is subject to judicial construction. Chapter 9 also includes an automatic stay provision that would prohibit, without Bankruptcy Court approval, the prosecution of any other legal action by creditors or Bondholders of an entity which has sought protection under Chapter 9. Therefore, should the District avail itself of Chapter 9 protection from creditors, the ability to enforce would be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (which could require that the action be heard in Bankruptcy Court instead of other federal or state court); and the Bankruptcy Code provides for broad discretionary powers of a Bankruptcy Court in administering any proceeding brought before it. The opinion of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the Bonds are qualified with respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors. A district may not be forced into bankruptcy involuntarily. The Effect of the Financial Institutions Act of 1989 on Tax Collections of the District The "Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989" ("FIRREA"), enacted on August 9, 1989, contains certain provisions which affect the time for protesting property valuations, the fixing of tax liens, and the collection of penalties and interest on delinquent taxes on real property owned by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") when the FDIC is acting as the conservator or receiver of an insolvent financial institution. Under FIRREA real property held by the FDIC is still subject to ad valorem taxation, but such act states (i) that no real property of the FDIC shall be subject to foreclosure or sale without the consent of the FDIC and no involuntary liens shall attach to such property, (ii) the FDIC shall not be liable for any penalties or fines, including those arising from the failure to pay any real or personal property tax when due and (iii) notwithstanding failure of a person to challenge an appraisal in accordance with state law, such value shall be determined as of the period for which such tax is imposed. There has been no definitive judicial determination of the validity of the provisions of FIRREA or how they are to be construed and reconciled with respect to conflicting state laws. However, certain federal court decisions have held that the FDIC is not liable for statutory penalties and interest authorized by State property tax law, and that although a lien for taxes may exist against real property, such lien may not be foreclosed without the consent of the FDIC, and no liens for penalties, fines, interest, attorneys fees, costs of abstract and research fees exist against the real property for the failure of the FDIC or a prior property owner to pay ad valorem taxes when due. It is also not known whether the FDIC will attempt to claim the FIRREA exemptions as to the time for contesting valuations and tax assessments made prior to and after the enactment of FIRREA. Accordingly, to the extent that the FIRREA provisions are valid and applicable to any property in the District, and to the extent that the FDIC attempts to enforce the same, these provisions may affect the timeliness of collection of taxes on property, if any, owned by the FDIC in the District, and may prevent the collection of penalties and interest on such taxes. Continuing Compliance with Certain Covenants The Order contains covenants by the District intended to preserve the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. (See "THE BONDS - Specific Tax Covenants " herein.) Failure by the District to comply with such covenants on a continuous basis prior to maturity of the Bonds could result in interest on the Bonds becoming taxable retroactively to the date of original issuance. (See "TAX MATTERS " herein.) 10 Future Debt The District has reserved in the Order the right to issue the remaining $5,769,217 authorized but unissued unlimited tax bonds and such additional bonds as may hereafter be approved by both the Board of Directors and voters of the District. All of the remaining unlimited tax bonds, which have heretofore been authorized by the voters of the District may be issued by the District from time to time for qualified purposes, as determined by the Board of Directors of the District, subject to the approval of the Attorney General of the State of Texas and the TCEQ. The District has no plans to issue additional debt within the next twelve months. Future and Proposed Legislation Tax legislation, administrative actions taken by tax authorities, or court decisions, whether at the Federal or state level, may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds under Federal or state law and could affect the market price or marketability of the Bonds. Any such proposal could limit the value of certain deductions and exclusions, including the exclusion for tax-exempt interest. The likelihood of any such proposal being enacted cannot be predicted. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding the foregoing matters. THE DISTRICT Creation of the District The District was created by the consolidation of two prior municipal utility districts, being Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 ("Prior MUD 1") and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 ("Prior MUD 2" and collectively with Prior MUD 1, the "Prior MUDs"). Prior MUD 1 was created as Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 1 by order of the Texas Water Rights Commission (the "Commission") on March 4, 1975 for the purpose of providing water and sewer facilities and other authorized services to the area within the territory of Prior MUD 1. The name of Prior MUD 1 was changed to Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 on April 1, 1983. Prior MUD 2 was created as a result of the consolidation of Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 2 and Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 3, which were created by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") for the purpose of providing water, sewer and drainage facilities and other authorized services to the area. The creation of Prior MUD 2 was confirmed by its electorate at an election held on August 9, 1980. On January 26, 2009, the Boards of the Prior MUDs entered into an agreement to consolidate the Prior MUDs into a single Municipal Utility District covering the territory of the Prior MUDs, subject to the approval of the consolidation by the voters at an election held for that purpose. On May 9, 2009, the voters approved the consolidation and the District became the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1. Pursuant to the consolidation agreement, the District assumed the outstanding bonds, notes and other obligations of the Prior MUDs and the authorized but unissued bonds, taxes and other obligations of the Prior MUDs and became authorized to levy a uniform tax on all taxable property within the District. The functions performed by the District include supplying water for municipal purposes; collecting, transporting, processing and disposing of wastes; establishing, operating and maintaining a fire department; and performing other functions permitted by municipal utility districts under the Texas Water Code. Governance The District is governed by a board of directors which has control over and management supervision of all affairs of the District. There are five elected directors that serve four-year staggered terms. Directors receive no remuneration, except a Director's per diem allowance of $100 per day on which necessary service is performed for the District. The District and all similar districts are subject to the continuing supervision and filing requirements of-th&TSEQ, including the preparation and filing of an annual independent audit report. All District facility plans are submitted to the TCEQ for review and approval. Employees The District has no employees of its own. Rather, personnel services are furnished under an Interlocal Agreement for Employee and Contractual Services (the "Agreement") between the District and the Town pursuant to Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code. Under the Agreement, employees who report directly to the District rather than the Town are entitled to the same benefits provided to Town employees, but the District is required to pay all costs associated with the provision of benefits to such employees, including pension benefits. In addition, the District is required to pay 50% of the costs incurred by the Town for salary, benefits and other compensation of employees who provide firefighting and emergency medical services to both the District and the Town. The District's liabilities under the Agreement, including pension benefits, do not have a substantial impact on the District's finances. General The District is comprised of 2,283.5 acres [approximately 94 acres in Westlake (Solana)]. Approximately 195 acres in Trophy Club are undeveloped. Of the developed acres, there are approximately 3,172 existing households, 136 apartment units and 42 townhouses. 11 Location The District is located in southern Denton County and northern Tarrant County partially within the Town of Trophy Club (the "Town") and partially within the Town of Westlake. The District is directly adjacent to and accessible from State Highway 114, north of and approximately mid-way between Dallas and Fort Worth. The District is approximately 27 miles from downtown Dallas, 25 miles from downtown Fort Worth, 17 miles from Denton, 8 miles from Grapevine and 14 miles from the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Major highways connecting these population centers, which will also serve the District, include State Highways 114, 170 and 377 and Interstate Highways 35E and 35W. State Highway 170 connects Trophy Club directly to Alliance Airport which is located seven miles southwest of the District. (See "Vicinity Map" herein.) Population The population of the District is estimated to be approximately 7,600 and the population of the entire Town of Trophy Club, the District and the Trophy Club PID No. 1 (the "Trophy Club Development") is estimated at 8,895 (as of December 2011). Topography and Drainage The land within the District has a gradual slope toward Marshall Creek, which runs through the District. The city limits of Roanoke forms the western boundary of the District. Runoff water enters Grapevine Reservoir just north of the District through Marshall Creek or several other small tributaries. The maximum elevation in the area being developed is approximately 690 feet mean sea level and the minimum elevation in the area being developed is approximately 576 feet mean sea level. The soil is sandy loam and clay loam, and existing vegetation consists of native grasses and small oak trees. Areas which are subject to flooding by a 100-year frequency flood are located in the flood plan of Marshall Creek and have been delineated by the Water Resources Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey. Additional flood studies were made by the engineers to determine what areas may be subject to flooding. It was determined that the area subject to flooding within the District is approximately 58.5 acres based on 100-year flood frequency; however, 57.6 acres of this area is within the golf course area and is not intended to be developed for residential land use. Shopping and Commercial Facilities A shopping center within the District has a major grocery store chain, a bank, a major chain drug store, several service businesses, fast food outlets, and a beauty shop and a dry cleaners. Additionally there are several more businesses and professional offices located in the District, at the primary entrance to the Town of Trophy Club. There are additional shopping facilities in Roanoke, about two (2) miles west of the District and numerous shopping facilities in Southlake about five (5) miles east of the District and in Grapevine about eleven (11) miles east of the District. Full metropolitan shopping facilities are available in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas which have their central business districts approximately 27 miles and 25 miles, respectively from the District. Fire Protection The District operates its Fire Department (the "Department") with an engine, a Quint, a brush truck and two support vehicles. Currently the Department is staffed with twelve (12) full-time firefighter / paramedics, one full-time Fire chief and a part-time administrative assistant. Operations under the Department include fire suppression, fire prevention, emergency management, investigation/enforcement and emergency medical response. The new $3.1 million fire station was completed and equipped in August 2011 with proceeds from the sale of the Series 2010 Bonds, replacing the previously existing facility. This Department serves the Town of Trophy Club and area in the District that is not in the Town limits, and is currently financed by a combination of a $0.10925 maintenance tax assessment in the District, as well as a $0.10925 Public Improvement District ("PID") assessment in Trophy Club PID No. 1. The 2011-2012 annual operating budget is $1,311,934 with October 1, 2011 reserves of $287,689 (unaudited). Police Protection Twenty-four hour security is provided by the Town of Trophy Club Police Department Schools The Town is served by the Northwest Independent School District (the "School District" or "Northwest ISD"). Northwest ISD covers approximately 232 square miles in Denton, Wise and Tarrant Counties. In addition to serving the Town, the School District also serves the communities of Aurora, Fairview, Haslet, Justin, Newark, Northlake, Rhome, Roanoke and portions of Flower Mound, Fort Worth, Keller, Southlake and Westlake. Northwest ISD is comprised of 16 primary schools for grades pre- kindergarten through fifth, 4 middle schools for grades sixth through eighth, 3 high schools for grades ninth through twelfth, and 2 alternative education campuses for grades seventh through twelfth. One of the high schools, Byron Nelson High School, is located in the Town of Trophy Club. All campuses offer enriched curricula with special programs for gifted/talented students as well as students achieving below grade level, and all are equipped with computers and full cafeteria service. The School District serves a 2011-2012 estimated enrollment of 16,630 students (as of November 1, 2011). 12 Recreational Opportunities Recreational opportunities in Trophy Club are afforded by Lake Grapevine and its surrounding parks, which lie two miles north and east of the District. The Town has several community parks, including facilities for soccer, baseball, Softball, basketball, tennis, a competitive swimming pool and playground amenities. The Town also operates an 877 acre Corps of Engineers park, which features 100 acres of motorized trails, as well as many passive recreational opportunities such as fishing, hiking and picnicking. Status of Development of the District The area in the District is locally known as "Trophy Club." It is a residential and mixed-use development consisting of approximately 2,283.5 acres. The District is a mature district with roughly 195 acres undeveloped, of which 135 acres are zoned residential and approximately 60 acres are available for commercial development. There is substantial land left for commercial development in the Solana complex, which is located within the City of Westlake. Lot and custom home sales officially began in the District in mid-year 1975. Homes are currently being offered at prices ranging from $200,000 to $1,000,000 and lots range in price from $35,000 to $200,000. The status of single-family home development as of January 1, 2012 is shown below: Status of Single-Family Home Development Houses Additional Total Multi-Family Under Houses Total Developed Houses Units Construction Occupied Houses Lots and Lots Completed(a) 138 3,172 3,310 72 3,382 178 (a) In addition to the single-family development, there are approximately 132 apartments and 42 completed townhouses, which are occupied. Status of Business / Commercial Development The undeveloped commercial land within the Solana business complex (approximately 230 acres) is available for commercial development, however the District is unaware of any current plans for additional development in the Solana business complex. The Town of Trophy Club and the District have commercial land available for development on approximately 52 acres of land along Highway 114. The land is zoned for uses such as a medical complex, hotels, restaurants and a short-stay hospital facility. Additionally, the District currently has a small strip center along Highway 114 containing several food establishments and professional offices. Maguire Thomas Partners ("Maguire") currently owns the Solana business complex, which is the top principal taxpayer in the District (see APPENDIX A "Table 11 - Principal Taxpayers 2011-2012"). On November 16, 2011, a State district judge in Tarrant County appointed a receiver to take control of Solana. According to court filings, the receiver will operate Solana, take all necessary actions to preserve the income and value of the property, and market the property for sale. It is expected that Solana will be posted for foreclosure in the near future. The District cannot predict the impact that such events may have on the District's financial condition. Public Improvement District Description Trophy Club PID No. 1 (the "PID") consists of approximately 609.683 acres of land generally to the north of Oakmont Drive, Oak Hill Drive and the Quorum Condominiums, east of the Lakes Subdivision and Parkview Drive, south of the Corps of Engineer's property, and west of the Town's eastern limit. The PID is located entirely within the Town limits but outside the District. A master-planned residential community (the "Property") is under construction in the PID and at build-out will be comprised of approximately 1,489 residential units located within the Property, which Property is zoned to permit such use pursuant to the PD Zoning. As of December 31, 2011, 538 homes have been completed and are occupied and an additional 170 homes have been permitted and are currently under construction. The PID is projected to build out as early as 2017 if construction continues at current levels, or as late as 2025 in the event of a decrease in the construction rate. The District provides emergency and fire protection services to the PID, and the PID pays the District an assessment for such services at the current fire tax rate of $0.10925. The District also provides water and sewer service for the PID. The total billed for PID water and sewer for fiscal year 2010-11 was $617,001.57. 13 THE DISTRICT'S SYSTEM The following information describes generally the water and wastewater systems for the District. Description of the Water System Sources of Water Supply: The present water supply is provided from two sources: (i) four ground wells which provide approximately 1,000,000 gallons per day, and (ii) a 21-inch water line which is capable of delivering 10,000,000 gallons per day of treated water from the City of Fort Worth facilities. Currently the District contracts with the City of Fort Worth for unlimited water services. Current maximum usage is approximately 6,500,000 gallons per day (of which 4,500,000 is Fort Worth water). These sources, when combined, provide water which complies with the quality requirements of the TCEQ and needs only chlorination at the District's water plant facility. Water Plant Facility: The present facility provides 900,000 gallons elevated and 6,000,000 gallons ground storage with pumping/chlorination capacity of 10,000,000 gallons per day. Description of the Wastewater System Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility: The wastewater treatment plant system has a permitted treatment/discharge capacity of 1,750,000 gallons per day from the TCEQ under TPDES Permit No. 11593-001. Although the permit authorizes the discharge of wastewater to the adjacent tributary leading to Lake Grapevine, the plant effluent is currently pumped to various holding ponds within the community of Trophy Club and is re-used for irrigating the golf course.

Section 80b-1 et seq.) or with the State Securities Board to provide for the investment and management of its public funds or other funds under its control for a term up to two years, but the District retains ultimate responsibility as fiduciary of its assets. In order to renew or extend such a contract, the District must do so by order, ordinance, or resolution. The District is specifically prohibited from investing in: (1) obligations whose payment represents the coupon payments on the outstanding principal balance of the underlying mortgage-backed security collateral and pays no principal; (2) obligations whose payment represents the principal stream of cash flow from the underlying mortgage-backed security and bears no interest; (3) collateralized mortgage obligations that have a stated final maturity of greater than 10 years; and (4) collateralized mortgage obligations the interest rate of which is determined by an index that adjusts opposite to the changes in a market index. Under Texas law, the District is required to invest its funds under written investment policies that primarily emphasize safety of principal and liquidity; that address investment diversification, yield, maturity, and the quality and capability of investment management; and that include a list of authorized investments for District funds, the maximum allowable stated maturity of any individual investment and the maximum average dollar-weighted maturity allowed for pooled fund groups, methods to monitor the market price of investments acquired with public funds, a requirement for settlement of all transactions, except investment pool funds and mutual funds, on a delivery versus payment basis, and procedures to monitor rating changes in investments acquired with public funds and the liquidation of such investments consistent with the Public Funds Investment Act. All District funds must be invested consistent with a formally adopted "Investment Strategy Statement" that specifically addresses each fund's investment. Each Investment Strategy Statement will describe its objectives concerning: (1) suitability of investment type, (2) preservation and safety of principal, (3) liquidity, (4) marketability of each investment, (5) diversification of the portfolio, and (6) yield. Under Texas law, the District's investments must be made "with judgment and care, under prevailing circumstances, that a person of prudence, discretion, and intelligence would exercise in the management of the person's own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment considering the probable safety of capital and the probable income to be derived." At least quarterly the District's investment officers must submit an investment report to the Board of Trustees detailing: (1) the investment position of the District, (2) that all investment officers jointly prepared and signed the report, (3) the beginning market value, the ending market value and the fully accrued interest for the reporting period of each pooled fund group, (4) the book value and market value of each separately listed asset at the end of the reporting-period, (5) the maturity date of each separately invested asset, (6) the account or fund or pooled fund group for which each individual investment was acquired, and (7) the compliance of the investment portfolio as it relates to: (a) adopted investment strategies and (b) Texas law.

Under State law, the District is additionally required to: (1) annually review its adopted policies and strategies; (2) adopt by written instrument a rule, order, ordinance or resolution stating that it has reviewed its investment policy and investment strategies and records any changes made to either its investment policy or investment strategy in the respective rule, order, ordinance or resolution; (3) require any investment officers with perssnasbusiness relationships or relatives with firms seeking to sell securities to the entity to disclose the relationship and file a statement with the Texas Ethics Commission and the Board of Trustees; (4) require the qualified representative of firms offering to engage in an investment transaction with the District to: (a) receive and review the District's investment policy, (b) acknowledger that reasonable controls and procedures have been implemented to preclude investment transactions conducted between the District and the business organization that are not authorized by the District's investment policy (except to the extent that this authorization is dependent on an analysis of the makeup of the District's entire portfolio or requires an interpretation of subjective investment standards), and (c) deliver a written statement in a form acceptable to the District and the business organization attesting to these requirements; (5) perform an annual audit of the management controls on investments and adherence to the District's investment policy; (6) provide specific investment training for the Treasurer, chief financial officer and investment officers; (7) restrict reverse repurchase agreements to not more than 90 days and restrict the investment of reverse repurchase agreement funds to no greater than the term of the reverse purchase agreement; (8) restrict the investment in no-load mutual funds in the aggregate to no more than 15% of the District's monthly average fund balance, excluding bond proceeds and reserves and other funds held for debt service; (9) require local government investment pools to conform to the new disclosure, rating, net asset value, yield calculation, and advisory board requirements; and (10) at least annually review, revise and adopt a list of qualified brokers that are authorized to engage in investment transactions with the District. 15 Current Investments As of December 31, 2011 the District's funds were invested in the District's depository bank and TexPool as shown in the table that follows. The District does not currently own, nor does it anticipate the inclusion of long-term securities or derivative products in its portfolio. Fund and Investment Type Amount TexPool - Operating Fund $3,317,514 TexPool - Interest and Sinking Fund 310,178 First Financial Bank Interest Bearing Account - Operating Fund 373,001 Total Investments $4,000,693 TAX DATA District Bond Tax Rate Limitation By law the District's tax rate for debt service on the Bonds is unlimited as to rate or amount. Maintenance and Operations Tax The Board is also authorized to levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax for planning, constructing, acquiring, or maintaining or repairing or operating the District's improvements and facilities, if such maintenance and operations tax is authorized by a vote of the District's electors. Such tax is in addition to taxes which the District is authorized to levy for paying principal of and interest on the Bonds, and any tax bonds which may be issued in the future. As shown in APPENDIX A, TABLE 13 - "TAX RATE DISTRIBUTION," the District levied a 2011-2012 maintenance and operations tax for fire protection purposes of $0.10925/$100 assessed valuation and $0.00989/$100 assessed valuation for all other operations and maintenance purposes. Overlapping Taxes Other governmental entities whose boundaries overlap the District have outstanding bonds payable from ad valorem taxes. The statement of direct and estimated overlapping ad valorem tax debt shown in APPENDIX A - TABLE 14 (page A-6) was developed from several sources, including information contained in "Texas Municipal Reports," published by the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas. Except for the amount relating to the District, the District has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of such information, and no person is entitled to rely upon information as being accurate or complete. Furthermore, certain of the entities listed below may have issued additional bonds since the dates stated in this table, and such entities may have programs requiring the issuance of substantial amounts of additional bonds, the amount of which cannot be determined. Political subdivisions overlapping the District are authorized by Texas law to levy and collect ad valorem taxes for operation, maintenance and/or general revenue purposes in addition to taxes of debt service and the tax burden for operation, maintenance and/or general purposes is not included in these figures. (See APPENDIX A - TABLES 14, 15 & 17 for information on overlapping taxing entities.) TAXING PROCEDURES Authority to Levy Taxes The Board has been authorized to levy an annual ad valorem tax on all taxable property within the District in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, their pro rata share of debt service on any contract tax bonds and any additional bonds or obligations payable from taxes which the District may hereafter issue and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such taxes. The District agrees in the Order to levy such a tax from year-to-year as described more fully herein under "THE BONDS - Security for Payment." Under Texas law, the Board is also authorized to levy and collect an ad valorem tax for the operation and maintenance of the District and for the payment of certain contractual obligations, if authorized by its voters. (See " TAX DATA - District Bond Tax Rate Limitation" herein.) Property Tax Code and County-Wide Appraisal District The Texas Property Tax Code (the "Property Tax Code") specifies the taxing procedures of all political subdivisions of the State of Texas, including the District. Provisions of the Property Tax Code are complex and are not fully summarized herein. The Property Tax Code requires, among other matters, county-wide appraisal and equalization of taxable property values and establishes in each county of the State of Texas an appraisal district with the responsibility for recording and appraising property for all taxing units within the county and an appraisal review board with responsibility for reviewing and equalizing the values established by the appraisal district. The board of directors of the appraisal district selects a chief appraiser to manage the appraisal offices of the appraisal district. The Denton Central Appraisal District and the Tarrant Appraisal District have the 16 responsibility for appraising property for all taxing units within Denton and Tarrant Counties, including the District. Such appraisal values are subject to review and change by the appraisal review boards of each county. The appraisal roll as approved by the appraisal review boards must be used by the District in establishing its tax roll and tax rate. General: Except for certain exemptions provided by Texas law, all property with a tax situs in the District is subject to taxation by the District; however, no effort is made by the District to collect taxes on tangible or intangible personal property not devoted to commercial or industrial use. Principal categories of exempt property applicable to the District include: (i)property owned by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions if the property is used for public purposes; (ii)property exempt from ad valorem taxation by federal law; (iii) certain property owned by charitable organizations, youth development associations, religious organizations, and qualified schools; (iv) designated historical sites; and (v) solar and wind-powered energy devices. Freeport Exemption: Article VIII, Section 1-j of the Texas Constitution authorizing an ad valorem tax exemption for "freeport property" was approved November 7, 1989. Freeport property is goods detained in Texas for 175 days or less for the purpose of assembly, storage, manufacturing, processing or fabrication. The District does grant this exemption. Goods in Transit: "Goods in Transit", which are certain goods, principally inventory, that are stored, for the purposes of assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing or fabricating the goods, in a location that is not owned by the owner of the goods and are transferred from that location to another location within 175 days; a taxpayer may receive only one of the freeport exemptions or the goods-in-transit exemptions for items of personal property. The District does not exempt Goods in Transit. Aaricultural/Ooen-Land Exemption: Article VIII provides that eligible owners of both agricultural land (Section 1-d) and open- space land (Section 1-d-1), including open-space land devoted to farm or ranch purposes or open-space land devoted to timber production, may elect to have such property appraised for property taxation on the basis of its productive capacity. The same land may not be qualified under both Section 1-d and 1-d-1. The District does have land that qualifies for this exemption. Residence Homestead Exemptions: Under Section 1-b, Article VIII, and State law, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant an exemption of not less than $3,000 of market value of the residence homestead of persons 65 years of age or older and the disabled from all ad valorem taxes thereafter levied by the political subdivision. Once authorized, such exemption may be repealed or decreased or increased in amount (i) by the governing body of the political subdivision or (ii) by a favorable vote of a majority of the qualified voters at an election called by the governing body of the political subdivision, which election must be called upon receipt of a petition signed by at least 20% of the number of qualified voters who voted in the preceding election of the political subdivision. In the case of a decrease, the amount of the exemption may not be reduced to less than $3,000 of the market value. The surviving spouse of an individual who qualifies for the foregoing exemption for the residence homestead of a person 65 or older (but not the disabled) is entitled to an exemption for the same property in an amount equal to that of the exemption for which the deceased spouse qualified if (i) the deceased spouse died in a year in which the deceased spouse qualified for the exemption, (ii) the surviving spouse was at least 55 years of age at the time of the death of the individual's spouse and (iii) the property was the residence homestead of the surviving spouse when the deceased spouse died and remains the residence homestead of the surviving spouse. The Board has granted such elderly and disabled exemptions in the amount of $25,000 of assessed valuation. In addition to any other exemptions provided by the Property Tax Code, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant an exemption of up to 20% of the market value of residence homesteads, with a minimum exemption of $5,000. The District does not grant the option percentage of market value exemption. In the case of residence homestead exemptions granted under Section 1-b, Article VIII, ad valorem taxes may continue to be levied against the value of homesteads exempted where ad valorem taxes have previously been pledged for the payment of debt if cessation of the levy would impair the obligation of the contract by which the debt was created. Disabled/Deceased Veterans Exemption: State law and Section 2, Article VIII, mandate an additional property tax exemption for disabled veterans or the surviving spouse (for so long as the surviving spouse remains unmarried) or children (under 18 years of age) of a deceased veteran who died while on active duty in the armed forces; the exemption applies to either real or personal property with the amount of assessed valuation exempted ranging from $5,000 to a maximum of $12,000; provided, however, that beginning in the 2009 tax year, a disabled veteran who receives from the from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or its successor 100 percent disability compensation due to a service-connected disability and a rating of 100 percent disabled or of individual unemployability is entitled to an exemption from taxation of the total appraised value of the veteran's residence homestead. In addition, effective January 1, 2012, and subject to certain conditions, surviving spouses of a deceased veteran who had received a disability rating of 100% will be entitled to receive a residential homestead exemption equal to the exemption received by the deceased spouse until such surviving spouse remarries. The District does grant the disabled / deceased veterans Exemption. Tax Abatement: Denton County, Tarrant County or the Town of Trophy Club may designate all or part of the area within the District as a reinvestment zone. Thereafter, the District may enter into tax abatement agreements with owners of real property within the District for up to ten (10) years, all or any part of any increase in the assessed valuation of property covered by the 17 agreement over its assessed valuation in the year in which the agreement is executed, on the condition that the property owner make specified improvements or repairs to the property in conformity with a comprehensive plan. All of the area of the District is included in reinvestment zones designated by the Town of Trophy Club, for tax abatement purposes. Valuation of Property for Taxation Generally, all taxable property in the District must be appraised by the Denton Central Appraisal District and the Tarrant Appraisal District (collectively, the "Appraisal District") at one hundred percent (100%) of market value as of January 1 of each year, subject to review and approval by the Appraisal Review Board. In determining market value, either the replacement cost or the income or the market data method of valuation may be used, whichever is appropriate. Certain land may be appraised at less than market value under the Property Tax Code. Increases in the appraised value of residence homesteads are limited to 10 percent annually regardless of the market value of the property. Upon application of a landowner, land which qualifies as "open-space land" is appraised based on the category of land, using accepted income capitalization methods applied to the average net income derived from the use of the land for agriculture and hunting or recreational leases. Upon application of a landowner, land which qualifies as "timber land" is appraised using accepted income capitalization methods applied to the average net income derived from the use of the land for production of timber. Land which qualifies as an aesthetic management zone, critical wildlife management zone, or streamside management zone or is being regenerated for timber production for 10 years after harvest is valued at one-half that amount. In the case of both open space and timber land valuations, if the use of land changes, an additional tax is generally imposed on the land equal to the difference between the taxes imposed on the land for each of the five (5) years preceding the year in which the change of use occurs and the tax that would have been imposed had the land been taxed on the basis of market value in each of those years, plus interest at an annual rate of seven percent (7%) calculated from the dates on which the differences would have become due. There are also special appraisal methods for agricultural land owned by individuals whose primary occupation and income are farming and for recreational, park, and scenic land. Also, houses or lots held for sale by a developer or builder which remain unoccupied, are not leased or rented and produce no income are required to be assessed at the price for which they would sell as a unit to a purchaser who would continue the owner's business, upon application of the owner. Once an appraisal roll is prepared and approved by the Appraisal Review Board, it is used by the District in establishing its tax rate. The Property Tax Code requires the Appraisal District to implement a plan for periodic reappraisal of property to update appraised values. The plan must provide for appraisal of all real property in the Appraisal District at least one every three (3) years. It is not know what frequency of reappraisal will be utilized by the Appraisal District or whether reappraisals will be conducted on a zone or countywide basis. Notice and Hearing Procedures The Tax Code establishes a "truth-in-taxation" process identifying increases in the effective tax rate. The rollback tax rate equals 108% of the total tax rate for the prior year. If the District decides to increase the tax rate more than eight percent (8%) above the previous year's tax rate, it must hold a public hearing and give notice to its taxpayers. If the actual tax rate adopted exceeds the rollback tax rate, taxpayers may petition to hold an election to reduce the tax rate to the rollback tax rate for the fiscal year. The Tax Code also establishes a procedure for notice to property owners of reappraisals reflecting increased property values, appraisals which are higher than renditions, and appraisals of property not previously on an appraisal roll District and Taxpayer Remedies The chief appraiser must give written notice before the Appraisal Review Board meeting to an affected owner if a reappraisal has resulted in an increase in value over the prior year or the value rendered by the owner, or if property not previously included on the appraisal roll has been appraised. Any owner who has timely filed notice with the Appraisal Review Board may appeal the final determination by the Appraisal Review Board of the owner's protest by filing suit in Texas district court. Prior to such appeal, however, the owner must pay the tax due on the amount of value of the property involved that is not in dispute or the amount of tax paid in the prior year, whichever is greater, but not to exceed the amount of tax due under the order from which the appeal is taken. In the event of such suit, the value of the property is determined by the court, or a jury if requested by any party. Additionally, the District is entitled to challenge certain matters before the Appraisal Review Board, including the level of appraisal of certain category of property, the exclusion of property from the appraisal records, or the grant in whole or in part of a partial exemption, or a determination that land qualifies for a special use appraisal (agricultural or timber classification, for example). The District may not, however, protest a valuation of individual property. Levy and Collection of Taxes The rate of taxation is set by the Board based upon the valuation of property within the District as of the preceding January 1 and the amount required to be raised for debt service, maintenance purposes, and authorized contractual obligations. 18 Unless the Board, or the qualified voters of the District or of Denton County or Tarrant County at an election held for such purpose, determines to transfer the collection of taxes to the Denton Central Appraisal District or Tarrant Appraisal District or another taxing unit, the District is responsible for the levy and collection of its taxes. The District has contracted with the Denton County Tax Collector to collect the taxes for the District. Taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year. The date of the delinquency may be postponed if the tax bills are mailed after January 10 of any year. Delinquent taxes are subject to a 6% penalty for the first month of delinquency, one percent (1%) for each month thereafter to July 1, and 12% total if any taxes are unpaid on July 1. Delinquent taxes also accrue interest at the rate of 1% per month during the period they remain outstanding. In addition, where a district engages an attorney for collection of delinquent taxes, the Board may impose a further penalty not to exceed twenty percent 20% on all taxes unpaid on July 1. The District may be prohibited from collection of penalties and interest on real property owned by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation. In prior years the District has engaged a delinquent tax attorney and imposed such a penalty. District's Rights in the Event of Tax Delinquencies Taxes levied by the District are a personal obligation of the owner of the property on January 1 of the year for which the tax is imposed. On January 1 of each year, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all state and local taxes, penalties, and interest ultimately imposed for the year on the property. The lien exists in favor of the State of Texas and each local taxing unit, including the District, having power to tax the property. The District's tax lien is on a parity with tax liens of such other taxing units. A tax lien on real property takes priority over the claim of most creditors and other holders of liens on the property encumbered by the tax lien, whether or not the debt or lien existed before the attachment of the tax lien; however, whether a lien of the United States is on a parity with or takes priority over a tax lien of the District is determined by applicable federal law. Personal property under certain circumstances is subject to seizure and sale for the payment of delinquent taxes, penalty, and interest. At any time after taxes on property become delinquent, the District may file suit to foreclose the lien securing payment of the tax, to enforce personal liability for the tax, or both. In filing a suit to foreclose a tax lien on real property, the District must join other taxing units that have claims for delinquent taxes against all or part of the same property. Collection of delinquent taxes may be adversely affected by the amount of taxes owed to other taxing units, by the effects of market conditions on the foreclosure sale price, by taxpayer redemption rights (a taxpayer may redeem property within two years after the purchaser's deed issued at the foreclosure sale is filed in the county records) or by bankruptcy proceedings which restrict the collection of taxpayer debts. (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - General" and "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Tax Collections and Foreclosure Remedies".) TAX MATTERS Opinion On the date of initial delivery of the Bonds, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Dallas, Texas, Bond Counsel to the Issuer, will render its opinion that, in accordance with statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions existing on the date thereof ("Existing Law"), (1) interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes will be excludable from the "gross income" of the holders thereof and (2) the Bonds will not be treated as "specified private activity bonds" the interest on which would be included as an alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Except as stated above, Bond Counsel to the Issuer will express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. See Appendix C - Form of Legal Opinion of Bond Counsel. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel to the Issuer will rely upon (a) certain information and representations of the Issuer, including information and representations contained in the Issuer's federal tax certificate, and (b) covenants of the Issuer contained in the Bond documents relating to certain matters, including arbitrage and the use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds and the property financed or refinanced therewith and (c) the certification of the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds that the amount deposited with the Escrow Agent will be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds when due. Failure by the Issuer to observe the aforementioned representations or covenants could cause the interest on the Bonds to become taxable retroactively to the date of issuance. The Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder contain a number of requirements that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order for interest on the Bonds to be, and to remain, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements may cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel to the Issuer is conditioned on compliance by the Issuer with such requirements, and Bond Counsel to the Issuer has not been retained to monitor compliance with these requirements subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds. 19 Bond Counsel's opinion represents its legal judgement based upon its review of Existing Law and the reliance on the aforementioned information, representations and covenants. Bond Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a result. Existing Law is subject to change by the Congress and to subsequent judicial and administrative interpretation by the courts and the Department of the Treasury. There can be no assurance that Existing Law or the interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner which would adversely affect the tax treatment of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. A ruling was not sought from the Internal Revenue Service by the Issuer with respect to the Bonds or the property financed or refinanced with proceeds of the Bonds. No assurances can be given as to whether the Internal Revenue Service will commence an audit of the Bonds, or as to whether the Internal Revenue Service would agree with the opinion of Bond Counsel. If an Internal Revenue Service audit is commenced, under current procedures the Internal Revenue Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer and the Bondholders may have no right to participate in such procedure. No additional interest will be paid upon any determination of taxability. Federal Income Tax Accounting Treatment of Original Issue Discount The initial public offering price to be paid for one or more maturities of the Bonds may be less than the principal amount or maturity amount thereof or one or more periods for the payment of interest on the bonds may not be equal to the accrual period or be in excess of one year (the "Original Issue Discount Bonds"). In such event, the difference between (i) the "stated redemption price at maturity" of each Original Issue Discount Bond, and (ii) the initial offering price to the public of such Original Issue Discount Bond would constitute original issue discount. The "stated redemption price at maturity" means the sum of all payments to be made on the bonds less the amount of all periodic interest payments. Periodic interest payments are payments which are made during equal accrual periods (or during any unequal period if it is the initial or final period) and which are made during accrual periods which do not exceed one year. Under existing law, any owner who has purchased such Original Issue Discount Bond in the initial public offering is entitled to exclude from gross income (as defined in section 61 of the Code) an amount of income with respect to such Original Issue Discount Bond equal to that portion of the amount of such original issue discount allocable to the accrual period. For a discussion of certain collateral federal tax consequences, see discussion set forth below. In the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bond prior to stated maturity, however, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such Original Issue Discount Bond in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Original Issue Discount Bond was held by such initial owner) is includable in gross income. Under existing law, the original issue discount on each Original Issue Discount Bond is accrued daily to the stated maturity thereof (in amounts calculated as described below for each six-month period ending on the date before the semiannual anniversary dates of the date of the Bonds and ratably within each such six-month period) and the accrued amount is added to an initial owner's basis for such Original Issue Discount Bond for purposes of determining the amount of gain or loss recognized by such owner upon the redemption, sale or other disposition thereof. The amount to be added to basis for each accrual period is equal to (a) the sum of the issue price and the amount of original issue discount accrued in prior periods multiplied by the yield to stated maturity (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period) less (b) the amounts payable as current interest during such accrual period on such Original Issue Discount Bond. The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of Original Issue Discount Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those described above. All owners of Original Issue Discount Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the determination for federal, state and local income tax purposes of the treatment of interest accrued upon redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds and with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds. Collateral Federal Income Tax Consequences The following discussion is a summary of certain collateral federal income tax consequences resulting from the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. This discussion is based on existing statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change or modification, retroactively. The following discussion is applicable to investors, other than those who are subject to special provisions of the Code, such as financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, life insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, individuals allowed an earned income credit, certain S corporations with accumulated earnings and profits and excess passive investment income, foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase tax-exempt obligations. 20 THE DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN MAY NOT BE EXHAUSTIVE. INVESTORS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE CODE, SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX TREATMENT WHICH MAY BE ANTICIPATED TO RESULT FROM THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS BEFORE DETERMINING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE BONDS. Interest on the Bonds will be includable as an adjustment for "adjusted current earnings" to calculate the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. Under section 6012 of the Code, holders of tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, may be required to disclose interest received or accrued during each taxable year on their returns of federal income taxation. Section 1276 of the Code provides for ordinary income tax treatment of gain recognized upon the disposition of a tax-exempt obligation, such as the Bonds, if such obligation was acquired at a "market discount" and if the fixed maturity of such obligation is equal to, or exceeds, one year from the date of issue. Such treatment applies to "market discount bonds" to the extent such gain does not exceed the accrued market discount of such bonds; although for this purpose, a de minimis amount of market discount is ignored. A "market discount bond" is one which is acquired by the holder at a purchase price which is less than the stated redemption price at maturity or, in the case of a bond issued at an original issue discount, the "revised issue price" (i.e., the issue price plus accrued original issue discount). The "accrued market discount" is the amount which bears the same ratio to the market discount as the number of days during which the holder holds the obligation bears to the number of days between the acquisition date and the final maturity date. State, Local and Foreign Taxes Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax implications of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds under applicable state or local laws. Foreign investors should also consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences unique to investors who are not United States persons. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations for Financial Institutions Section 265(a) of the Code provides, in pertinent part, that interest paid or incurred by a taxpayer, including a "financial institution," on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations is not deductible in determining the taxpayer's taxable income. Section 265(b) of the Code provides an exception to the disallowance of such deduction for any interest expense paid or incurred on indebtedness of a taxpayer that is a "financial institution" allocable to tax-exempt obligations, other than "private activity bonds," that are designated by a "qualified small issuer" as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." A "qualified small issuer" is any governmental issuer (together with any "on-behalf of and "subordinate" issuers) who issues no more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations during the calendar year. Section 265(b)(5) of the Code defines the term "financial institution" as any "bank" described in section 585(a)(2) of the Code, or any person accepting deposits from the public in the ordinary course of such person's trade or business that is subject to federal or state supervision as a financial institution. Notwithstanding the exception to the disallowance of the deduction of interest on indebtedness related to "qualified tax-exempt obligations" provided by section 265(b) of the Code, section 291 of the Code provides that the allowable deduction to a "bank," as defined in section 585(a)(2) of the Code, for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase "qualified tax-exempt obligations" shall be reduced by twenty-percent (20%) as a "financial institution preference item." In the Order, the Issuer has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of section 265(b) of the Code. In furtherance of that designation, the Issuer has covenanted to take such action that would assure, or to refrain from such action that would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." Potential purchasers should be aware that if the issue price to the public exceeds $10,000,000 there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the payment of a de minimis amount of premium in excess of $10,000,000 is disregarded; however, the Internal Revenue Service could take a contrary view. If the Internal Revenue Service takes the position that the amount of such premium is not disregarded, then such obligations might fail to satisfy the aforementioned dollar limitation and the Bonds would not be "qualified tax-exempt obligations." CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION . In the Order, the Issuer has made the following agreement for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of each of the Bonds. The Issuer is required to observe the agreement for so long as it remains obligated to advance funds to pay the Bonds. Under the agreement, the Issuer will be obligated to provide certain updated financial information and operating data annually, and timely notice of certain specified events, to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB"). Annual Reports The Issuer will provide certain updated financial information and operating data to the MSRB. The District will provide all quantitative financial information and operating data with respect to the District of the general type included in this Official Statement. The information to be updated includes Tables 1,12 and 13 of Appendix A, and the annual audited financial statements of the District. The Issuer will update and provide this information within six months after the end of each fiscal year ending in and after 2011. 21 The financial information to be provided may be set forth in full in one or more documents or may be included by specific reference to any document available to the public on the MSRB's Internet Website or filed with the SEC, as permitted by SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule"). The updated information will include audited financial statements for the Issuer, if the Issuer commissions an audit and it is completed by the required time. If audited financial statements are not available by the required time, the Issuer will provide unaudited financial statements by the required time and audited financial statements when and if such audited financial statements become available. Any such financial statements will be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles described in Appendix D or such other accounting principles as the Issuer may be required to employ from time to time pursuant to State law or regulation. The Issuer's current fiscal year end is September 30. Accordingly, it must provide updated information by the last day in March in each year, unless the Issuer changes its fiscal year. If the Issuer changes its fiscal year, it will notify the MSRB of the change. Notice of Certain Events The Issuer will also provide timely notices of certain events to the MSRB. The Issuer will provide notice of any of the following events with respect to the Bonds to the MSRB in a timely manner (but not in excess of ten business days after the occurrence of the event): (1) principal and interest payment delinquencies; (2) non-payment related defaults, if material; (3) unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulties; (4) unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulties; (5) substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform; (6) adverse tax opinions, the issuance by the Internal Revenue Service of proposed or final determinations of taxability, Notices of Proposed Issue (IRS Form 5701-TEB), or other material notices or determinations with respect to the tax status of the Bonds, or other material events affecting the tax status of the Bonds; (7) modifications to rights of holders of the Bonds, if material; (8) Bond calls, if material, and tender offers; (9) defeasances; (10) release, substitution, or sale of property securing repayment of the Bonds, if material; (11) rating changes; (12) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar event of the Issuer, which shall occur as described below; (13) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition involving the Issuer or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, other than in the ordinary course of business, the entry into of a definitive agreement to undertake such an action or the termination of a definitive agreement relating to any such actions, other than pursuant to its terms, if material; and (14) appointment of a successor or additional trustee or the change of name of a trustee, if material. In addition, the Issuer will provide timely notice of any failure by the Issuer to provide annual financial information in accordance with their agreement described above under "Annual Reports". For these purposes, any event described in clause (12) of the immediately preceding paragraph is considered to occur when any of the following occur: the appointment of a receiver, fiscal agent, or similar officer for the Issuer in a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or in any other proceeding under state or federal law in which a court or governmental authority has assumed jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the Issuer, or if such jurisdiction has been assumed by leaving the existing governing body and officials or officers in possession but subject to the supervision and orders of a court or governmental authority, or the entry of an order confirming a plan of reorganization, arrangement, or liquidation by a court or governmental authority having supervision or jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the Issuer. Availability of Information from MSRB The Issuer has agreed to provide the foregoing financial information and operating data only as described above. Investors will be able to access continuing disclosure information filed with the MSRB free of charge at www.emma.msrb.org. Limitations and Amendments The Issuer has agreed to update information and to provide notices of certain specified events only as described above. The Issuer has not agreed to provide other information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of its financial results of operations, condition, or prospects or agreed to update any information that is provided, except as described above. The Issuer makes no representation or warranty concerning such information or concerning its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Bonds at any future date. The Issuer disclaims any contractual or tort liability for damages resulting in whole or in part from any breach of its continuing disclosure agreement or from any statement made pursuant to its agreement, although holders or beneficial owners of Bonds may seek a writ of mandamus to compel the Issuer to comply with its agreement. The Issuer may amend its continuing disclosure agreement 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 Issuer, if the agreement, as amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Bonds in the offering described herein in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule to the date of such amendment, as well as such changed circumstances, and either the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds consent or any person unaffiliated with the Issuer (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determines that the amendment will not materially impair the interests of the beneficial owners of the Bonds. The Issuer may also repeal or amend these provisions 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 the provisions of this sentence would not prevent an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds giving effect to (a) such 22 provisions as so amended and (b) any amendments or interpretations of the Rule. If the Issuer amends its agreement, it must include with the next financial information and operating data provided in accordance with its agreement described above under "Annual Reports" an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of information and data provided. Compliance with Prior Agreements For the last five years, the District has complied in all material respects with its previous continuing disclosure agreements made in accordance with the Rule. OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION Legal Matters The delivery of the Bonds is subject to the receipt of an approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas to the effect that the Bonds are valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, and the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel, to like effect and to the effect that the interest on the Bonds will be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under section 103(a) of the Code, subject to the matters described under "TAX MATTERS" herein, including the alternative minimum tax on corporations. The form of Bond Counsel's opinion is attached hereto as Appendix C. The legal fee to be paid to Bond Counsel for services rendered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Bonds. Though it represents the Financial Advisor and the Underwriter from time to time in matters unrelated to the issuance of the Bonds, Bond Counsel has been engaged by and only represents the Issuer in the issuance of the Bonds. Except as noted below, Bond Counsel did not take part in the preparation of the Official Statement, and such firm has not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto or undertaken independently to verify any of the information contained herein except that in its capacity as Bond Counsel, such firm has reviewed the information appearing under captions "PLAN OF FINANCING", "THE BONDS" (except for subcaptions "Default and Remedies" and "Payment Record" and the second and third sentences under the subcaption "Issuance of Additional Debt"), "TAX MATTERS," "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION" (exclusive of the subcaption "Compliance With Prior Agreements"), and the subcaptions "Legal Matters" (except for the last two sentences of the second paragraph thereof), "Registration and Qualification of Bonds for Sale" and "Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas" under the caption "OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION" to determine whether such information accurately and fairly summarizes the material and documents referred to therein and is correct as to matters of law, and that such information conforms to the Order. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriter by Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Dallas, Texas, Counsel for the Underwriter. The legal fees to be paid to Counsel to the Underwriter are contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Bonds. The legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds express the professional judgment of the respective attorneys rendering the opinions as to the legal issues explicitly addressed therein. In rendering a legal opinion, the attorney does not become an insurer or guarantor of that expression of professional judgment, of the transaction opined upon, or of the future performance of the parties to the transaction. Nor does the rendering of an opinion guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute that may arise out of the transaction. Registration and Qualification of Bonds for Sale The sale of the Bonds has not been registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption provided thereunder by Section 3(a)(2); and the Bonds have not been qualified under the Securities Act of Texas in reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Bonds been qualified under the securities acts of any jurisdiction. The Issuer assumes no responsibility for qualification of the Bonds under the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which the Bonds may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred. This disclaimer of responsibility for qualification for sale or other disposition of the Bonds shall not be construed as an interpretation of any kind with regard to the availability of any exemption from securities registration provisions. Litigation In the opinion of District officials, the Issuer is not a party to any litigation or other proceeding pending or to its knowledge, threatened, in any court, agency or other administrative body (either state or federal) which, if decided adversely to the Issuer, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the District. Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas Section 1201.041 of the Public Security Procedures Act (Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code) provides that the Bonds are negotiable instruments, investment securities governed by Chapter 8, Texas Business and Commerce Code, and are real and authorized investments for insurance companies, fiduciaries, and trustees, and for the sinking funds of municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State. With respect to investment in the Bonds by municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State, the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code, requires that the Bonds be assigned a rating of at least "A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency. See 23 "RATINGS" herein. In addition, various provisions of the Texas Finance Code provide that, subject to a prudent investor standard, obligations such as the Bonds are legal investments for state banks, savings banks, trust companies with capital of one million dollars or more, and savings and loan associations. The Bonds are eligible to secure deposits of any public funds of the State, its agencies, and its political subdivisions, and are legal security for those deposits to the extent of their fair market value. No review by the District has been made of the laws in other states to determine whether the Bonds are legal investments for various institutions in those states. No representation is made that the Bonds will be acceptable to public entities to secure their deposits or acceptable to such institutions for investment purposes. The District has made no investigation of other laws, rules, regulations or investment criteria which might apply to any such persons or entities or which might otherwise limit the suitability of the Bonds for any of the foregoing purposes or limit the authority of such persons or entities to purchase or invest in the Bonds for such purposes. Underwriting The Underwriter has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the Bonds from the Issuer at a price of $2,470,257.70 (representing the par amount of the Bonds of $2,355,000.00, plus an original issue premium of $136,075.20, less an Underwriter's discount of $20,817.50), plus accrued interest on the Bonds from the Dated Date to the date of initial delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriter. The Underwriter's obligation is subject to certain conditions precedent. The Underwriter will be obligated to purchase all of the Bonds, if any of the Bonds are purchased. The Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including the Underwriter and other dealers depositing Bonds into investment trusts) and others at prices lower than such public offering prices, and such public prices may be changed, from time to time, by the Underwriter. The Underwriter has provided the following sentence for inclusion in this Official Statement. The Underwriter has reviewed the information in this Official Statement in accordance with, and as part of, its responsibilities to investors under federal securities laws as applied to the facts and circumstances of this transaction, but the Underwriter does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. Financial Advisor Southwest Securities is employed as a Financial Advisor to the Issuer in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. In this capacity, the Financial Advisor has compiled certain data relating to the Bonds and has assisted in drafting this Official Statement. The Financial Advisor has not independently verified any of the data contained herein or conducted a detailed investigation of the affairs of the Issuer to determine the accuracy or completeness of this Official Statement. Because of its limited participation, the Financial Advisor assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of the information contained herein. The fees for Financial Advisor are contingent upon the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds.

[DATE OF DELIVERY] TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 UNLIMITED TAX REFUNDING BONDS SERIES 2012 DATED MARCH 1, 2012 IN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $2,355,000 AS BOND COUNSEL FOR TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 (the "District") issuer of the Bonds described above (the "Bonds"), we have examined into the legality and validity of the Bonds, which bear interest from the dates and mature on the dates, and are subject to redemption, in accordance with the terms and conditions stated in the text of the Bonds. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given in the Order of the District authorizing the issuance and sale of the Bonds (the "Order"). WE HAVE EXAMINED the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and other documents authorizing and relating to the issuance of said Bonds, including one of the executed Bonds (Bond Number T-l), and specimens of Bonds to be authenticated and delivered in exchange for the Bonds. BASED ON SAID EXAMINATION, IT IS OUR OPINION THAT the Bonds have been authorized and issued and the Bonds delivered concurrently with this opinion have been duly delivered, and that, assuming due authentication, Bonds issued in exchange therefor will have been duly delivered, in accordance with law, and that said Bonds, except as may be limited by laws applicable to the District relating to bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar matters affecting creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the District, payable from ad valorem taxes to be levied and collected by the District upon taxable property within the District, which taxes the District has covenanted to levy in an amount sufficient to pay the interest on and the principal of the Bonds. Such covenant to levy taxes is subject to the right of a city, under existing Texas law, to annex all of the territory within the District; to take over all properties and assets of the District; to assume all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the District, including the Bonds; and to abolish the District or if the District consolidates with another District. IT IS FURTHER OUR OPINION, except as discussed below, that the interest on the Bonds is excludable from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes under the statutes, regulations, published rulings, and court decisions existing on the date of this opinion. We are further of the opinion that the Bonds are not "specified private activity bonds" and that, accordingly, interest on the Bonds will not be included as an individual or corporate alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). In expressing the aforementioned opinions, we have relied on, certain representations, the accuracy of which we have not independently verified, and assume compliance with certain covenants regarding the use and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds and the use of the property financed or refinced therewith. We call your attention to the fact that if such representations are determined to be inaccurate or if the Issuer fails to comply with such covenants, interest on the Bonds may become includable in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, we express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of the Bonds. WE CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT the interest on tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, is included in a corporation's alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of determining the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. OUR OPINIONS ARE BASED ON EXISTING LAW, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"); rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that we deem relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to determine compliance with rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published procedures the Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer. We observe that the Issuer has covenanted not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, may result in the treatment of interest on the Bonds as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. WE EXPRESS NO OPINION as to any insurance policies issued with respect to the payments due for the principal of and interest on the Bonds, nor as to any such insurance policies issued in the future. OUR SOLE ENGAGEMENT in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is as Bond Counsel for the Issuer, and, in that capacity, we have been engaged by the Issuer for the sole purpose of rendering our opinions with respect to the legality and validity of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and with respect to the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes, and for no other reason or purpose. The foregoing opinions represent our legal judgment based upon a review of existing legal authorities that we deem relevant to render such opinions and are not a guarantee of a result. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not independently investigated or verified, any records, data, or other material relating to the financial condition or capabilities of the Issuer, or the disclosure thereof in connection with the sale of the Bonds, and have not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto. We express no opinion and make no comment with respect to the marketability of the Bonds. Our role in connection with the Issuer's Official Statement prepared for use in connection with the sale of the Bonds has been limited as described therein. Respectfully, APPENDIX D EXCERPTS FROM THE DISTRICT'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (Independent Auditor's Report, General Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements - not intended to be a complete statement of the Issuer's financial condition. Reference is made to the complete Annual Financial Report for further information.) and Company PLLC Certified Public Accountants INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Board of Directors Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 Trophy Club, Texas We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1, (the District), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011, which collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the District's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, and each major fund of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 as of September 30, 2011, and the changes in financial position for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The management's discussion and analysis, and budgetary comparison information on pages 3 through 10 and 35 through 36, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. 1 LaFollett & Company PLLC PO Box 717 • Tom Bean, TX • 75489 903-546-6975 • www.lafollettcpa.com In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have issued a report dated January 31, 2012 on our consideration of the District's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. The report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 's basic financial statements. The accompanying individual schedules and other supplementary information listed in the table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying individual schedules and other supplementary information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. LaFollett & Company, PLLC Tom Bean, Texas January 31, 2012 2 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1, Texas (the "District") Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is a narrative overview and analysis designed to provide the reader a means to identify and understand the financial activity of the District and changes in the District's financial position during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The Management's Discussion and Analysis is supplemental to, and should be considered along with, the District's financial statements. Financial Highlights At the close of the fiscal year, the assets of the District exceeded its liabilities by $12,262,122. Of this amount, $3,123,113 is unrestricted net assets and may be used to meet the District's ongoing commitments. The District's net assets increased by $1,991,485 as a result of operations. At the end of the fiscal year, the District's governmental type funds reported a combined fund balance of $3,143,822. As of September 30, 2011, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $2,509,429, which is equal to 42% of total General Fund expenditures. The governmental long-term debt bond obligations of the District decreased by $1,115,000. Overview of the Financial Statements The MD&A is intended to introduce the reader to the District's basic financial statements, which are comprised of three components: 1. Government-Wide Financial Statements, 2. Fund Financial Statements, and 3. Notes to Basic Financial Statements. The report also contains other required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. Government-Wide Financial Statements - the government wide financial statements are designed to provide the reader with a general overview of the District's finances in a way that is comparable with financial statements from the private sector. The government-wide financial statements consist of two statements: 1. The Statement of Net Assets - (Page 11) this statement presents information on all of the District's assets and liabilities; the difference between the two is reported as net assets. Over an extended period, the increase or decrease in net assets will serve as a good indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating. 3 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 4 Overview of the Financial Statements - continued 2. The Statement of Activities - (Page 12) gives information showing how the District's net assets have changed during the fiscal year. All revenues and expenses are reported on the full accrual basis. Fund Financial Statements - Fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most important funds and not about the District as a whole as in the government-wide financial statements. The District uses fund accounting to demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements which can be categorized as governmental fund activities. Governmental Funds - All of the District's activities are reported in governmental funds. They are used to account for those functions known as governmental activities. But unlike government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on how monies flow into and out of those funds and their resulting balances at the end of the fiscal year. Statements of governmental funds provide a detailed short-term view of the District's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Such information can be useful in evaluating a government's short-term financing requirements. The District maintains three governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund and Capital Projects Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. The District adopts annual appropriated budgets for the General Fund and Debt Service Funds. A budgetary comparison statement is provided for each annually budgeted fund to demonstrate compliance with its budget. Notes to the Basic Financial Statements - The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data presented in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be found on pages 17-34. TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 Overview of the Financial Statements - continued Government-wide Financial Analysis The management discussion and analysis highlights the information provided in both the Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities in the government-wide financial statements. It may serve over an extended period of time, as a useful indicator of the District's financial position. At the end of the fiscal year, the District's assets exceeded liabilities by $12,262,122. Of this amount $9,031,162 (74%) reflects the District's investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation), less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The District uses these capital assets to provide service to the community; therefore these assets are not available for future spending.

The 6 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 information derived from these funds is highly useful in assessing the District's financial requirements. The unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the government's net resources available for use at the fiscal year-end. At the end of the fiscal year, the District's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $3,143,822, of which 70%, or $2,206,963, is unassigned and available to the District for future spending. Additional fund balances of $107,847 are assigned to pay debt service. General Fund budgetary highlights Revenue: Revenues were $1,072,966 more than budgeted • Water and wastewater charges were $973,696 (22%) more than budgeted. The budget was based on a normal year, but the District experienced dry, hot weather increasing the use of water. Expenses: Expenses were $396,693 less than budgeted • Water operations were $179,979 more than budgeted due to a higher water use during above average summer heat and dry weather. • The Fire Department had a $436,517 positive budget variance (see page 35) for 2011 expenditures before transfers and capital outlays. After these items are considered, the positive variance was $50,517. Debt Service Fund: • Actual debt service fund revenue was $12,921 more than budgeted due to the payment of delinquent taxes. The debt service expenses were $1,040 less than budgeted. • The debt service fund reserves decreased from $272,132 to $ 107,847. Overall: • Governmental type funds revenue totaled $8,080,851 while expenditures totaled $9,927,933. • Total governmental type fund balances decreased from $4,990,903 to $3,143,821; a decrease of $1,847,082 or 37%. The decrease was expected due to the Capital Projects Fund's use of $2 million of prior year bond proceeds for fiscal year 2011 capital outlays. 7 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 Capital Asset and Debt Administration The District's investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of September 30, 2011 amounted to $16,742,462, net of accumulated depreciation. This represents a broad range of capital assets including, but not limited to land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, vehicles, and water, wastewater treatment, and wastewater collection systems. Capital assets increased approximately 17% during 2011 primarily due to the completion of the new fire department facility. The Capital Projects Fund expenditure for this facility in 2011 was approximately $2.5 million. A management review of annual depreciation for capital assets was completed during the fiscal year and identified approximately $665,000 of depreciation that had over accumulated through the end of fiscal year 2010. Beginning fiscal year 2011 accumulated depreciation and net assets have been adjusted accordingly. Additional information about capital assets may be found in Note 5 in the notes to financial statements. Debt administration Long-Term Debt - at the end of the current fiscal year the consolidated District had $7,789,214 of general obligation bonds, contractual obligation bonds, notes payable, capital lease obligations, and accrued compensated absences, a decrease of 14% from the previous fiscal year. Of this amount, $7,511,201 is backed by the full faith and credit of the government. The District had no new debt for fiscal year 2011.

Expenses: The District's 2012 operational expense is budgeted to increase by $1,228,358. • The majority of the increase is related to capital expenses and the four year plan to replace all existing meter heads ($85,000). • Bulk water budget is to increase $310,000 due to the increase in new construction residential homes. Overall: The District's2012 operational budget is anticipated to have expenses of $7,406,912 on revenues of $7,141,830 resulting in a $265,082 use of reserves. Debt Service: • Budgeted 2012 debt service revenues are budgeted to decrease from $1,498,059 in fiscal 2011 to $870,300 in fiscal 2012, a decrease of $627,759, or 41.9%. • Debt service appropriations will decrease from $1,498,059 to $870,300 due to two bond issues being paid off in fiscal year 2011. The consolidated District's overall budget for revenue increased from $7,275,586 in fiscal 2011 to $8,012,130 in fiscal 2012 a 10.12% increase.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. General Statement Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the District) was created by an order of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) (formerly the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission) on March 4, 1975 and confirmed by the electorate of the District at a confirmation election on October 7, 1975. The Board of Director's held its first meeting on April 24, 1975. The Bonds were first sold on June 8, 1976. The District operates pursuant to Article XVI, Chapter 59 of the Texas Constitution and Chapter 54 of the Texas Water Code, as amended. On May 9, 2009, citizens voted to consolidate the District and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 (MUD2). As a result, the District reports consolidated activity and balances for the District and the entities formerly known as MUD2 and the Trophy Club Master District Joint Venture (a joint venture of MUD 1 and MUD2). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for the District. The financial statements of the District have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. B. Financial Reporting Entity As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements include the activities of the District and any organizations for which the District is financially accountable or for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The definition of the reporting entity is based primarily on the notion of financial accountability. A primary government is financially accountable for the organizations that make up its legal entity. It is also financially accountable for legally separate organizations if its officials appoint a voting majority of an organization's governing body and either it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific financial burdens on, the primary government. A primary government may also be financially accountable for governmental organizations that are fiscally dependent on it. A primary government has the ability to impose its will on an organization if it can significantly influence the programs, projects, or activities of, or the level of services performed or provided by, the organization. A financial benefit or burden relationship exists if the primary government (a) is entitled to the organization's resources; (b) is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization; or (c) is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization. Some organizations are included as component units because of their fiscal dependency on the primary government. An organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government if it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval by the primary government. Accordingly, the District has no component units. 17 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED C. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The govemment-wide financial statements (the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all of the activities of the District, except for fiduciary funds. The effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The activities of the District are comprised only of governmental activities. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given program are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific program. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given program and 2) operating or capital grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Fund Financial Statements The District segregates transactions related to certain functions or activities in separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. These statements present each major fund as a separate column on the fund financial statements. The District does not report any non-major funds. Governmental funds are those funds through which most governmental functions typically are financed. The measurement focus of governmental funds is on the sources, uses and balance of current financial resources. The District has presented the following major governmental funds: General Fund The General Fund is the main operating fund of the District. This fund is used to account for all financial resources not accounted for in other funds. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund. Debt Service Fund The Debt Service Fund is used to account for resources accumulated and payments made for principal and interest on the long-term debt of governmental funds. Capital Projects Fund The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for funds received and expended for the acquisition and construction of infrastructure and other capital assets. 18 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The government-wide statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The economic resources measurement focus means all assets and liabilities (whether current or non-current) are included on the statement of net assets and the operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned. Expenses are recognized at the time the liability is incurred. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual; i.e., when they become both measurable and available. "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The District considers receivables collected within sixty days after year-end to be available and recognizes them as revenues of the current year. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due. The revenues susceptible to accrual are interest income and ad valorem taxes. All other governmental fund revenues are recognized when received. E. Cash and Investments The District's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The District's investment policy requires that all monies be deposited with the authorized District depository or in (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities; (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3) other obligations, the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the United States; (4) obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state having been rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a rating of not less than A or its equivalent; (5) certificates of deposit by state and national banks domiciled in this state that are (A) guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit 19 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED E. Cash and Investments - Continued Insurance Corporation, or its successor; or, (B) secured by obligations that are described by (1) - (4); or, (6) fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a defined termination date, secured by obligations described by (1), pledged with third party selected or approved by the District, and placed through a primary government securities dealer. All investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. F. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, and equipment, are reported in the government-wide financial statements. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are valued at their fair market value on the date donated. Repairs and maintenance are recorded as expenses. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Interest has not been capitalized during the construction period on property, plant and equipment. Assets capitalized have an original cost of $5,000 or more and over one year of useful life. Depreciation has been calculated on each class of depreciable property using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings 50 Years Improvements other than buildings 15-30 Years Machinery and equipment 5-15 Years Vehicles 6-12 Years Water and wastewater systems 30-65 Years G. Accumulated Vacation, Compensated Time and Sick Leave The District has no employees of its own, but instead, personnel services are furnished under a contract with the Town of Trophy Club, Texas. The District records an allocation of personnel costs from the Town in personnel expense accounts rather than as single line item payable to the Town. Accordingly, the District also records current payroll and an allocation in compensated absences earned by the personnel assigned to it. The District reports this liability using the Town's vacation policy; however, the Town retains primary liability for its employee vacation pay. 20 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1.

The TCEQ requires capitalization of organizational costs for the construction period, all costs incurred in the issue and sale of bonds, bond interest and amortized bond premium and discount losses on sales of investments, accrued interest on investments purchased, attorney fees and some administrative expenses until construction and acceptance or use of the first revenue producing facility has occurred. The District amortizes the organizational costs using the straight-line method over a period of 22 to 45 years. I. Net Assets Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets, and adding back unspent proceeds. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislations adopted by the District or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments. J. Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses/expenditures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. K. Fund Balances The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions (GASB 54). This Statement defines the different types of fund balances that a governmental entity must use for financial reporting purposes in the fund financial statements for governmental type funds. It does not apply for the government-wide financial statements. GASB 54 requires the fund balance amounts to be properly reported within one of the following fund balance categories: Nonspendable - such as fund balance associated with inventories, prepaids, long-term loans and notes receivable, and property held for resale (unless the proceeds are restricted, committed, or assigned) 21 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED K. Fund Balances - Continued Restricted - fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation, Committed - fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the Board of Directors (the district's highest level of decision-making authority), Assigned - fund balance classification are intended to be used by the government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed, and Unassigned - fund balance is the residual classification for the government's general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications, and other fund's that have total negative fund balances. NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS The funds of the District must be deposited and invested under the terms of a contract, contents of which are set out in the Depository Contract Law. The depository bank places approved pledged securities for safekeeping and trust with the District's agent bank in an amount sufficient to protect District funds on a day-to-day basis during the period of the contract. The pledge of approved securities is waived only to the extent of the depository bank's dollar amount of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance. At September 30, 2011, the carrying amount of the District's deposits (cash, certificates of deposit, and interest-bearing savings accounts included in temporary investments) was $619,096 and the bank balance was $848,446. The District's cash deposits at September 30, 2011, and during the year then ended were entirely covered by FDIC insurance or by pledged collateral held by the District's agent bank in the District's name. The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific provisions in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of appropriate policies. Among other things, it requires the District to adopt, implement, and publicize an investment policy. That policy must address the following areas; (1) safety of principal and liquidity, (2) portfolio diversification, (3) allowable investments, (4) acceptable risk levels, (5) expected rates of return, (6) maximum allowable stated maturity of portfolio investments, (7) maximum average dollar-weighted maturity, allowed based on the stated maturity date for the portfolio, (8) investment staff quality and capabilities, (9) and bid solicitation preferences for certificates of deposit. 22 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED Statutes and the District's investment policy authorized the District to invest in the following investments as summarized below: Maximum Maximum Authorized Maximum Percentage Investment Investment Type Maturity of Portfolio In One Issuer U.S. Treasury Obligations 2 years 85% NA U.S. Agencies Securities 2 years 85% NA State of Texas Securities 2 years 85% NA Certificates of Deposits 2 years 85% NA Municipal Securities 2 years 85% NA Money Market 2 years 50% NA Mutual Funds 2 years 50% NA Investment pools 2 years 100% NA The Act also requires the District to have independent auditors perform test procedures related to investment practices as provided by the Act. The District is in substantial compliance with the requirements of the Act and with local policies. Cash and investments as of September 30, 2011 are classified in the accompanying financial statements as follows: Statement of Net Assets Primary Government: Cash and cash equivalents $ 3,514,926 Total cash and investments $ 3,514,926 Cash and investments as of September 30, 2011 consist of the following: Deposits with financial institutions $ 619,096 Investments 2,895,830 Total cash and investments $ 3,514,926 The District's cash and investments balance includes $187,087 which is restricted for customer deposits. 23 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the District manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by investing mainly in investment pools which purchase a combination of shorter term investments with an average maturity of less than 60 days thus reducing the interest rate risk. The District monitors the interest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by measuring the weighted average maturity of its portfolio. The District has no specific limitations with respect to this metric. As of September 30, 2011, the District had the following investment: Investment Type TexPool Total Investments Amount Weighted Average Maturity $ 2,895,830 34 days $ 2,895,830 As of September 30, 2011, the District did not invest in any securities which are highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the Public Funds Investment Act, the District's investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type. Investment Type Amount Minimum Legal Rating Rating as of Year End TexPool 2,895,830 N/A AAAm Total Investments 2,895,830 Concentration of Credit Risk The investment policy of the District contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer. As of September 30, 2011, other than external investment pools, the District did not have 5% or more of its investments with one issuer. 24 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The Public Funds Investment Act and the District's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The Public Funds Investment Act requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least the bank balance less FDIC insurance at all times. As of September 30, 2011 the District deposits with financial institutions were not in excess of federal depository insurance limits. Investment in State Investment Pools The District is a voluntary participant in TexPool. The State Comptroller of Public Accounts exercises responsibility over TexPool. This oversight includes the ability to significantly influence operations, designation of management, and accountability for fiscal matters. Additionally, the State Comptroller has established an advisory board composed of both participants in TexPool and other persons who do not have a business relationship with TexPool. TexPool operates in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. TexPool uses amortized costs rather than market value to report net assets to compute share prices. Accordingly, the fair value of the position in TexPool is the same as the value of TexPool shares. 25 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 3.

PROPERTY TAXES Property taxes are levied as of October 1, on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1, for all real and certain personal property located in the District and MUD2 (the "Districts"). The appraisal of property within the District is the responsibility of Denton Appraisal District (Appraisal District) as required by legislation passed by the Texas legislature. The Appraisal District is required under such legislation to assess all property within the Appraisal District on the basis of 100% of its appraised value and is prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. The value of property within the Appraisal District must be reviewed every five years; however, the District may, at its own expense, require annual reviews of appraised values. The Districts may challenge appraised values established by the Appraisal District through various appeals and, if necessary, legal action. Property taxes for the Districts are not limited as to rate or amount. In an election held October 7, 1975, the electorate of the Districts authorized the levy of up to $0.25 per $100 valuation per District for the operations and maintenance of the Districts. Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1, following the levy date. Taxes are due by January 31, following the levy date. Property taxes are recorded as receivables when levied. Following is information regarding the 2011 tax levies: Adjusted taxable values $ 993,169,500 O & M Fire tax levy $0.11804/$100 1,284,669 I&Staxlevy $0.07696/$100 763,303 Total tax levy $0.1950/$100 $ 2,047,972 32 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 8.

Excluding unassigned fund balances, the following describes the District's fund balance classifications at September 30,2011: Non-Spendable Fund Balances Non-Spendable Fund Balance of $7,755 for the General Fund represents assets not in spendable form. Assigned Fund Balances The District assigned $265,082 of General Fund fund balances to offset expected fiscal year 2012 budgetary deficits for general operations and the fire department. The District assigned a total of $556,175 of General Fund fund balances for the following: $21,000 for water plant equipment, $219,414 for future technology acquisitions, and $315,761 for fiscal year 2012 expected transfers to the Capital Projects Fund. Fund Balance Deficits The Capital Projects Fund has a fund balance deficit at September 30, 2011 of $302,466. In fiscal year 2012, the District intends to transfer funds from the General Fund to eliminate the deficit. NOTE 9. RISK MANAGEMENT The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; business interruption; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; employee health benefits; and other claims of various nature. Commercial insurance is purchased for the risks of loss to which the District is exposed. Any losses reported but unsettled or incurred and not reported, are believed to be insignificant to the District's basic financial statements. Additionally, the District must operate in compliance with rules and regulations mandated for public water supply systems by federal and state governments. The District is subject to compliance oversight by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Fiscal Year 2011 TCEQ Compliance In October of 2011, the District notified TCEQ of inaccuracies in previously submitted, monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's). The inaccuracies related to the laboratory measurement results for Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (CBOD). The District submitted corrected DMR's to TCEQ, but has not been formally notified by TCEQ of the resulting action, if any, that will occur due to the reported inaccuracies. 33 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 10.

This offer is made subject to the Issuer's written acceptance hereof on or before 10:00 p.m. Central time, on the date hereof, and, if not so accepted, will be subject to withdrawal by the Underwriter upon notice delivered to the Issuer at any time prior to the acceptance hereof by the Issuer. Terms not otherwise defined in this Contract shall have the same meanings set forth in the Bond Order (as defined herein) or in the Official Statement (as defined herein). 1. Purchase and Sale of the Bonds. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, the Underwriter hereby agrees to purchase from the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby agrees to sell and deliver to the Underwriter, all, but not less than all, of the Issuer's $2,355,000 Unlimited Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2012 (the "Bonds"). The Bonds are to be issued, secured and sold under the provisions of an order (the "Order") adopted by the Board of Directors of the Issuer on December 20, 2011, and shall have the terms and features (including those with respect to price and rates) as set forth in the Pricing Certificate (as defined in the Order)(the Order and the Pricing Certificate are jointly referred to herein as the "Bond Order"). The Pricing Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the representative of the Issuer (the "Pricing Officer") named in the Order and shall be dated the date hereof. The principal amount of the Bonds to be issued, the dated date therefor, the maturities, redemption provisions, yields and interest rates per annum are set forth in Schedule I attached hereto. The Bonds shall otherwise have such terms and provisions as set forth and described in the Official Statement referred to below. The purchase price for the Bonds shall be $2,470,257.70 (representing the principal amount of the Bonds, plus an original issue premium of $136,075.20 and less an underwriting discount of $20,817.50) plus interest accrued on the Bonds from March 1, 2012, to the date of Closing (as hereinafter defined). 77641135.2/08013523 Delivered to the Issuer herewith as a good faith deposit is a corporate check of the Underwriter payable to the order of the Issuer in the amount of $23,550. In the event the Issuer accepts this Contract, such check shall be held uncashed by the Issuer until the time of Closing, at which time such check shall be returned uncashed to the Underwriter. In the event that the Issuer does not accept this Contract, such check will be immediately returned to the Underwriter. Should the Issuer fail to deliver the Bonds at the Closing, or should the Issuer be unable to satisfy the conditions of the obligations of the Underwriter to purchase, accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds, as set forth in this Contract (unless waived by the Underwriter), or should such obligations of the Underwriter be terminated for any reason permitted by this Contract, such check shall immediately be returned to the Underwriter. In the event that the Underwriter fails (other than for a reason permitted hereunder) to purchase, accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds at the Closing as herein provided, such check shall be cashed and the amount thereof retained by the Issuer as and for fully liquidated damages for such failure of the Underwriter, and, except as set forth in Sections 8 and 10 hereof, no party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder. The Underwriter and the Issuer understand that in such event the Issuer's actual damages may be greater or may be less than such amount. Accordingly, the Underwriter hereby waives any right to claim that the Issuer's actual damages are less than such amount, and the Issuer's acceptance of this Contract shall constitute a waiver of any right the Issuer may have to additional damages from the Underwriter. The Underwriter hereby agrees not to stop or cause payment on the check to be stopped unless the Issuer has breached any of the terms of this Contract. 2. Public Offering. The Underwriter agrees to make a bona fide public offering of all of the Bonds at a price not to exceed the public offering prices set forth on page ii of the Official Statement and may subsequently change such offering prices without any requirement of prior notice. The Underwriter may offer and sell Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers depositing Bonds into investment trusts) and others at prices lower than the public offering prices stated on page ii of the Official Statement; provided that on or before the Closing, the Underwriter shall execute and deliver to McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Dallas, Texas ("Bond Counsel") an issue price certificate for the Bonds prepared by Bond Counsel verifying the initial offering prices to the public at which the Underwriter reasonably expected to sell or in fact sold a substantial amount of each stated maturity of the Bonds to the public. 3. The Official Statement. (a) Preliminary Official Statement. The Issuer previously has delivered, or caused to be delivered, copies of a Preliminary Official Statement, dated February 7, 2012, relating to the Bonds (the "Preliminary Official Statement"), to the Underwriter for its use in determining interest in the Bonds. The Issuer confirms that it has not prepared any document for dissemination to potential customers in connection with any offering of the Bonds (and will not do so without the consent of the Underwriter prior to the availability of the final Official Statement described below), except the Preliminary Official Statement. The Issuer prepared the Preliminary Official Statement for use by the Underwriter in connection with the public offering, sale and distribution of the Bonds. The Issuer hereby ratifies and approves the use by the Underwriter of the Preliminary Official Statement prior to the date hereof, and until the availability of the final Official Statement, in connection with the public offering of the Bonds. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that it deemed the Preliminary Official Statement final, within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 issued by the United States Securities and Exchange 77641135.2/08013523 2 Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule"), as of its date, except for the omission of information specified in Section (b)(1) of the Rule, as permitted by Section (b)(1) of the Rule. The Issuer hereby confirms that it does not object to the distribution of the Preliminary Official Statement in electronic form. (b) Final Official Statement. The Issuer shall prepare and provide, or cause to be provided, to the Underwriter as soon as practicable after the date of the Issuer's acceptance of this Contract (but, in any event, not later than within seven business days after the Issuer's acceptance of this Contract and in sufficient time to accompany any confirmation that requests payment from any customer) a final Official Statement which is complete as of the date of its delivery to the Underwriter, in such quantity and formats as the Underwriter shall request, and in any event in a "designated electronic format" (as defined in MSRB Rule G-32), in order for the Underwriter to comply with Section (b)(4) of the Rule and the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB"). Such final Official Statement shall be substantially in form of the Preliminary Official Statement, with only such changes therein as shall have been accepted by the Underwriter or as shall be permitted by the Rule or the rules of the MSRB. Such final Official Statement, including the cover page, all exhibits, appendices, maps, pictures, diagrams, reports and statements included or incorporated therein or attached thereto, and any amendments and supplements thereto that may be authorized for use with respect to the Bonds, is herein referred to as the "Official Statement." The Issuer hereby authorizes the Underwriter to use the Official Statement and the information contained therein in connection with the public offering and the sale of the Bonds. The Issuer hereby confirms that it does not object to the distribution of the Official Statement in electronic form. If, for any reason, the Issuer is unable or otherwise fails to deliver the final Official Statement to the Underwriter in compliance with this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver the Preliminary Official Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto, to the Underwriter in a "designated electronic format" at least one business day before the date of the Closing. The Issuer additionally shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Underwriter on or before the date of the Closing (and, in any event, not later than within five business days of the date of the Closing) a copy of the fully executed Escrow Agreement (defined herein) in a "designated electronic format". (c) If, after the date of this Contract to and including the date the Underwriter is no longer required to provide an Official Statement to potential customers who request the same pursuant to the Rule (the earlier of (i) 90 days from the "end of the underwriting period", as defined in the Rule, and (ii) the time when the Official Statement is available to any person from the MSRB, but in no case less than 25 days after the "end of the underwriting period" for the Bonds), the Issuer becomes aware of any fact or event which might or would cause the Official Statement, as then supplemented or amended, to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Official Statement to comply with law, the Issuer will notify the Underwriter (and for the purposes of this clause provide the Underwriter with such information as the Underwriter may from time to time request), and if, in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriter, such fact or event requires preparation and publication of a supplement or amendment to the Official Statement, the Issuer will prepare and furnish, at the Issuer's sole expense, in such quantity and in formats as the Underwriter shall request, and in a "designated electronic format", in order for the Underwriter to comply with Section (b)(4) of the Rule and the rules of the MSRB, copies of either amendments or supplements to the Official Statement so that the statements in the Official 77641135.2/08013523 3 Statement as so amended and supplemented will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or so that the Official Statement will comply with law; provided, however, that for all purposes of this Contract and any certificate delivered by the Issuer in accordance herewith, the Issuer makes no representations with respect to the descriptions in the Preliminary Official Statement or the Official Statement of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), or its book-entry-only system. If such notification shall be subsequent to the Closing, the Issuer shall furnish such legal opinions, certificates, instruments and other documents as the Underwriter may reasonably request to evidence the truth and accuracy of such supplement or amendment to the Official Statement. Additionally, if amendments are made to the Escrow Agreement during the period described above, the Issuer will prepare and provide, or cause to be provided, at the Issuer's sole expense, to the Underwriter a copy of the amendment or amendments to the Escrow Agreement in a "designated electronic format". (d) The Underwriter hereby agrees to timely file the Official Statement and the Escrow Agreement (and any supplements or amendments thereto) with the MSRB in the format prescribed by the MSRB. Unless otherwise notified in writing by the Underwriter, the Issuer can assume that the "end of the underwriting period" for purposes of the Rule is the date of the Closing. 4.

Any balance in the Escrow Fund set forth in the opinion of the independent certified public account as not necessary to pay, without further investment or reinvestment, as the same become due, the principal of, interest on and premium, if any, on the Refunded Obligations which have not previously been paid shall be transferred to the Issuer.

Dated: March 5, 2012 Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 TAB 12 FEDERAL TAX CERTIFICATE 1. In General. 1.1. The undersigned is the District Manager of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the "Issuer"). 1.2. This Certificate is executed for the purpose of establishing the reasonable expectations of the Issuer as to future events regarding the Issuer's Unlimited Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2012 (the "Bonds"). The Bonds are being issued pursuant to an order of the Issuer (the "Order") adopted on the date of sale of the Bonds. The Order is incorporated herein by reference. 1.3. To the best of the undersigned's knowledge, information and belief, the expectations contained in this Federal Tax Certificate are reasonable. 1.4. The undersigned is an officer of the Issuer delegated with the responsibility, among others, of issuing and delivering the Bonds. 1.5. The undersigned is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause him to question the accuracy of the representations made by First Southwest Company (the "Underwriter") in the Issue Price Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit "D", and by Southwest Securities, Inc. (the "Financial Advisor") in Subsections 2.2 and 5.3 of this Certificate and with respect to the Schedules attached hereto as Exhibit "E". 2. The Purpose of the Bonds and Useful Lives of Projects. 2.1. The purpose for the issuance of the Bonds, as more fully described in the Order, is to establish an Escrow Fund (the "Escrow Fund") pursuant to an Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") between the Issuer and an escrow agent to refund the outstanding obligations of the Issuer as listed in Exhibit "B" to the Escrow Agreement (the "Outstanding Bonds") and to pay the related expenses of issuing the Bonds. The Escrow Agreement is included in the transcript for the Bonds and incorporated herein by reference. 2.2. The Financial Advisor has represented that the Issuer will realize a present value debt service savings (determined without regard to administrative expenses) in connection with the issuance of the Bonds and the refunding of the Outstanding Bonds. The Outstanding Bonds will be redeemed on the earliest date on which the Outstanding Bonds can be redeemed. The proceeds deposited to the Escrow Fund will not exceed the amount required to pay the principal of and interest on the Outstanding Bonds and will not be reinvested. Accordingly, after taking into account proceeds used to pay costs of issuance and accrued interest, the Issuer expects that "excess gross proceeds" within the meaning of section 1.148-10(c) of the Treasury Regulations will not exceed one percent of the sale proceeds of the Bonds. 2.3. The Bonds are the first advance refunding of the Outstanding Bonds, which were originally issued by the Issuer after December 31, 1985. 2.4. The proceeds of the Outstanding Bonds were used to provide for the financing of a wastewater treatment plant expansion; ground storage installation; 21-inch water line additional capacity and waste water treatment plant connection charges (the "Outstanding Projects"). The Outstanding Projects remain in service and have not been sold or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer. 2.5. The Issuer expects that 120 percent of the aggregate useful lives of the Outstanding Projects, on the later of the date that the Outstanding Projects were placed in service or the date of issuance of the Outstanding Bonds, will exceed 18 years. 2.6. Other than members of the general public, the Issuer expects that throughout the lesser of the term of the Bonds, or the useful lives of the Outstanding Projects, the only user of the Outstanding Projects will be the Issuer or the Issuer's employees and agents. The Issuer will be the manager of the Outstanding Projects. The Issuer does not expect to enter into long-term sales of output from the Outstanding Projects and sales of output will be made on the basis of generally-applicable and uniformly applied rates. The Issuer may apply different rates for different classes of customers, including volume purchasers, which are reasonable and customary. In no event will the proceeds of the Bonds or facilities financed therewith be used for private business use in an amount greater than $15 million. 2.7. Except as stated below, the Issuer expects not to sell or otherwise dispose of property constituting the Outstanding Projects prior to the earlier of the end of such property's useful life or the final maturity of the Bonds. The Order provides that the Issuer will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Outstanding Projects unless the Issuer receives an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. 2.8. For purposes of Subsection 2.7 hereof, the Issuer has not included the portion of the Outstanding Projects comprised of personal property that is disposed in the ordinary course at a price that is expected to be less than 25 percent of the original purchase price. The Issuer, upon any disposition of such property, will transfer the receipts from the disposition of such property to the general operating fund and expend such receipts within six months for other governmental programs. 3. Yields. 3.1. The issue price of the Bonds included in the Form 8038-G, is based on the Issue Price Certificate attached hereto. 3.2. The Issuer has not entered into any qualified guarantee or qualified hedge with respect to the Bonds. The yield on the Bonds will not be affected by subsequent unexpected events, except to the extent provided in section 1.148-4(h)(3) of the Treasury Regulations when and if the Issuer enters into a qualified hedge or into any transaction transferring, waiving or modifying any right that is part of the terms of any Bond. The Issuer will consult with nationally recognized bond counsel prior to entering into any of the foregoing transactions. 4. Transferred Proceeds, Excess Proceeds and Disposition Proceeds. 4.1. As of the date of this Certificate, all of the amounts received from the sale of the Outstanding Bonds and the investment earnings thereon have been expended. 4.2. The Issuer has no reason to believe nor has any expectation that a device has been or will be employed in connection with the issuance of the Bonds to obtain a material financial advantage (based on arbitrage) apart from savings attributable to lower interest rates. All of the proceeds of the Bonds, other than an amount, if any, which is less than one percent of the sale proceeds of the Bonds, will be used either to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds or to pay principal and interest on the Outstanding Bonds. 2 5. Debt Service Fund. 5.1. The Order creates a special Debt Service Fund solely for the benefit of the Bonds (the "Debt Service Fund"). Other than as described herein, money deposited in the Debt Service Fund will be used to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds (the "Bona Fide Debt Service Portion"). The Bona Fide Debt Service Portion constitutes a fund that is used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues and debt service within each bond year. Such portion will be completely depleted at least once each year except for an amount not in excess of the greater of (a) one-twelfth of the debt service on the Bonds for the previous year, or (b) the previous year's earnings on such portion of the Debt Service Fund. Amounts deposited in the Debt Service Fund constituting the Bona Fide Debt Service Portion will be spent within a thirteen-month period beginning on the date of deposit, and any amount received from the investment of money held in the Debt Service Fund will be spent within a one-year period beginning on the date of receipt. 5.2. A portion of the funds on deposit in the Debt Service Fund, not otherwise used to pay debt service on the Bonds within thirteen months, will be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds (the "Reserve Portion"). If on any interest payment or maturity date, sufficient amounts are not available to make debt service payments on the Bonds, the Issuer is required to use such money constituting the Reserve Portion in an amount sufficient to make such payments. The present value of the investments deposited to the Reserve Portion of the Debt Service Fund and allocable to the Bonds and to the unrefunded portion of the issue of obligations of which the Outstanding Bonds are part that will be invested at a yield higher than the yield on such bonds will not, as of any date, exceed an aggregate amount which equals the lesser of (a) 10 percent of the stated principal amount (or, in the case of a discount, the issue price) of the Bonds, (b) 1.25 of the average annual debt service on the Bonds, or (c) maximum annual debt service on the Bonds. 5.3. Based on the representation of the Financial Advisor, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Portion of the Debt Service Fund should be maintained as a balance allocable to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund consistent with accepted standards of prudent fiscal management for similar governmental bodies and in order to provide a reserve against periodic fluctuations in the amount and timing of payment of ad valorem taxes to the Issuer. 5.4. Any money deposited in the Debt Service Fund and any amounts received from the investment thereof that accumulate and remain on hand therein after thirteen months from the date of deposit of any such money or one year after the receipt of any such amounts from the investment thereof shall constitute a third and separate portion of the Debt Service Fund. The yield on any investments allocable to the portion of the Debt Service Fund exceeding of the sum of (a) the Bona Fide Debt Service Portion, (b) the Reserve Portion and (c) an amount equal to the lesser of five percent of the sale and investment proceeds of the Bonds or $ 100,000 will be restricted to a yield that does not exceed the yield on the Bonds. 6. Invested Sinking Fund Proceeds, Replacement Proceeds. 6.1. The Issuer has, in addition to the moneys received from the sale of the Bonds, certain other moneys that are invested in various funds which are pledged for various purposes. These other funds are not available to accomplish the purposes described in Section 2 of this Certificate. 6.2. Other than the Debt Service Fund, there are, and will be, no other funds or accounts established, or to be established, by or on behalf of the Issuer (a) which are reasonably expected to be used, or to generate earnings to be used, to pay debt service on the Bonds, or (b) which are reserved or pledged as collateral for payment of debt service on the Bonds and for which there is reasonable assurance that amounts 3 therein will be available to pay such debt service if the Issuer encounters financial difficulties. Accordingly, there are no other amounts constituting "gross proceeds" of the Bonds, within the meaning of section 148 of the Code. 7. Other Obligations. There are no other obligations of the Issuer, that (a) are sold at substantially the same time as the Bonds, i.e., within 15 days of the date of sale of the Bonds, (b) are sold pursuant to a common plan of financing with the Bonds, and (c) will be payable from the same source of funds as the Bonds. 8. Federal Tax Audit Responsibilities. The Issuer acknowledges that in the event of an examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") to determine compliance of the Bonds with the provisions of the Code as they relate to tax-exempt obligations, the Issuer will respond, and will direct its agents and assigns to respond, in a commercially reasonable manner to any inquiries from the Service in connection with such an examination. The Issuer understands and agrees that the examination may be subject to public disclosure under applicable Texas law. 9. Record Retention and Private Business Use. The Issuer has covenanted in the Order that it will comply with the requirements of the Code relating to the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code. The Service has determined that certain materials, records and information should be retained by the issuers of tax-exempt obligations for the purpose of enabling the Service to confirm the exclusion of the interest on such obligations under section 103 of the Code. ACCORDINGLY, THE ISSUER SHALL TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT ALL MATERIALS, RECORDS AND INFORMATION NECESSARY TO CONFIRM THE EXCLUSION OF THE INTEREST ON THE BONDS UNDER SECTION 103 OF THE CODE ARE RETAINED FOR THE PERIOD BEGINNING ON THE ISSUE DATE OF THE OUTSTANDING BONDS OR, IN THE CASE OF A SEQUENCE OF REFUNDINGS, THE ISSUE DATE OF THE OBLIGATIONS ORIGINALLY FINANCING THE OUTSTANDING PROJECT AND ENDING THREE YEARS AFTER THE DATE THE BONDS ARE RETIRED. The Issuer acknowledges receipt of the letters attached hereto as Exhibit "B" which discusses limitations related to private business use and Exhibit "C" which, in part, discusses specific guidance by the Service with respect to the retention of records relating to tax-exempt bond transactions. The Issuer also acknowledges that Exhibit "C" does not constitute an opinion of Bond Counsel as to the proper record retention policy applicable to any specific transaction. 10. Rebate to United States. The Issuer has covenanted in the Order that it will comply with the requirements of the Code, including section 148(f) of the Code, relating to the required rebate to the United States. Specifically, the Issuer will take steps to ensure that all earnings on gross proceeds of the Bonds in excess of the yield on the Bonds required to be rebated to the United States will be timely paid to the United States. The Issuer acknowledges receipt of the memorandum attached hereto as Exhibit "A" which discusses regulations promulgated pursuant to section 148(f) of the Code. This memorandum does not constitute an opinion of Bond Counsel as to the proper federal tax or accounting treatment of any specific transaction.

On June 18, 1993, the U.S. Treasury Department promulgated regulations relating to the computation of arbitrage rebate and the rebate exceptions. These regulations, which replace the previously-published regulations promulgated on May 15, 1989, and on May 18, 1992, are effective for bonds issued after June 30,1993. This memorandum was prepared by McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. and provides a general discussion of these arbitrage rebate regulations. This memorandum does not otherwise discuss the general arbitrage regulations, other than as they may incidentally relate to rebate. This memorandum also does not attempt to provide an exhaustive discussion of the arbitrage rebate regulations and should not be considered advice with respect to the arbitrage rebate requirements as applied to any individual or governmental unit or any specific transaction. Any tax advice contained in this memorandum is of a general nature and is not intended to be used, and should not be used, by any person to avoid penalties under the Code. McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. remains available to provide legal advice to issuers with respect to the provisions of these tax regulations but recommends that issuers seek competent financial and accounting assistance in calculating the amount of such issuer's rebate liability under section 148(f) of the Code and in making elections to apply the rebate exceptions. Effective Dates 1 In this memorandum the word "bond" is defined to include any bond, note, certificate, financing lease or other obligation of an issuer. Copyright 2006 by Harold T. Flanagan, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. All rights reserved. The regulations promulgated on June 18,1993, generally apply to bonds delivered after June 30, 1993, although they do permit an issuer to elect to apply the rules to bonds issued priorto that date. The temporary regulations adopted by the U.S. Treasury Department in 1989 and 1992 incorporated the same effective dates which generally apply for purposes of section 148(f) of the Code. As such, the previous versions of the rebate regulations generally applied to bonds issued between August 1986 and June 30,1993 (or, with an election, to bonds issued priorto August 15,1993). The statutory provisions of section 148(f) of the Code, other than the exception for construction issues, apply to all bonds issued after August 15,1986, (for private activity bonds) and August 31, 1986, (for governmental public purpose bonds). The statutory exception to rebate applicable for construction issues generally applies if such issue is delivered after December 19, 1989. The regulations provide numerous transitional rules for bonds sold priorto July 1,1993. Moreover, since, under prior law, rules were previously published with respect to industrial development bonds and mortgage revenue bonds, the transitional rules contained in these regulations permit an issuer to elect to apply certain of these rules for computing rebate on pre- 1986 bonds. The regulations provide for numerous elections which would permit an issuer to apply the rules (other than 18-month spending exception) to bonds which were issued prior to July 1, 1993 and remain outstanding on June 30, 1993. Due to the complexity of the regulations, it is impossible to discuss in this memorandum all circumstances for which specific elections are provided. If an issuer prefers to use these final version of rebate regulations in lieu of the computational method stated under prior law (e.g., due to prior redemption) or the regulations, please contact McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. for advice as to the availability of such options. Future Value Computation Method The regulations employ an actuarial method for computing the rebate amount based on the future value of the investment receipts (i.e., earnings) and payments. The rebate method employs a two-step computation to determine the amount of the rebate payment. First, the issuer determines the bond yield. Second, the issuer determines the arbitrage rebate amount. The regulations require that the computations be made at the end of each five-year period and upon final maturity of the issue (the "computation dates"). THE FINAL MATURITY DATE WILL ACCELERATE IN CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THE BONDS ARE OPTIONALLY REDEEMED PRIOR TO MATURITY. AS SUCH, IF BONDS ARE REFUNDED OR OTHERWISE REDEEMED, THE REBATE MAY BE DUE EARLIER THAN INITIALLY PROJECTED. In order to accommodate accurate record-keeping and to assure that sufficient amounts will be available for the payment of arbitrage rebate liability, however, we recommend that the computations be performed at least annually. Please refer to other materials provided by McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. relating to federal tax rules regarding record retention. Under the future value method, the amount of rebate is determined by compounding the aggregate earnings on all the investments from the date of receipt by the issuer to the computation date. Similarly, a payment for an investment is future valued from the date that the payment is made to the computation date. The receipts and payments are future valued at a discount rate equal to the yield on the bonds. The rebatable arbitrage, as of any computation date, is equal to the excess of the (1) future value of all receipts from investments (i.e., earnings), over (2) the future value of all payments. McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 2 The following example is provided in the regulations to illustrate how arbitrage rebate is computed under the future value method for a fixed-yield bond: "On January 1, 1994, City A issues a fixed yield issue and invests all the sale proceeds of the issue ($49 million). There are no other gross proceeds. The issue has a yield of 7.0000 percent per year compounded semiannually (computed on a 30 day month/360 day year basis). City A receives amounts from the investment and immediately expends them for the governmental purpose of the issue as follows: Date Amount 2/1/1994 $ 3,000,000 4/1/1994 5,000,000 6/1/1994 14,000,000 9/1/1994 20,000,000 7/1/1995 10,000,000 City A selects a bond year ending on January 1, and thus the first required computation date is January 1, 1999. The rebate amount as of this date is computed by determining the future value of the receipts and the payments for the investment. The compounding interval is each 6-month (or shorter) period and the 30 day month/360 day year basis is used because these conventions were used to compute yield on the issue. The future value of these amounts, plus the computation credit, as of January 1, 1999, is: Date Receipts (Payments) FY (7.0000 percent) 01/1/1994 ($49,000,000) ($69,119,339) 02/1/1994 3,000,000 4,207,602 04/1/1994 5,000,000 6,932,715 06/1/1994 14,000,000 19,190,277 09/1/1994 20,000,000 26,947,162 01/1/1995 (1,000) (1,317) 07/1/1995 10,000,000 12,722,793 01/1/1996 (1,000) (1.229) Rebate amount (01/01/1999) $878.664" General Method for Computing Yield on Bonds In general, the term "yield," with respect to a bond, means the discount rate that when used in computing the present value of all unconditionally due payments of principal and interest and all of the payments for a qualified guarantee produces an amount equal to the issue price of the bond. The term "issue price" has the same meaning as provided in sections 1273 and 1274 of the Code. That is, if bonds are publicly offered (i.e., sold by the issuer to a bond house, broker or similar person acting in the capacity of underwriter or wholesaler), the issue price of each bond is determined on the basis of the initial offering price to the public (not McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 3 to the aforementioned intermediaries) at which price a substantial amount of such bond was sold to the public (not to the aforementioned intermediaries). The "issue price" is separately determined for each bond (i.e., maturity) comprising an issue. The regulations also provide varying periods for computing yield on the bonds depending on the method by which the interest payment is determined. Thus, for example, yield on an issue of bonds sold with variable interest rates (i.e., interest rates which are reset periodically based on changes in market) is computed separately for each annual period ending on the first anniversary of the delivery date that the issue is outstanding. In effect, yield on a variable yield issue is determined on each computation date by "looking back" at the interest payments for such period. The regulations, however, permit an issuer of a variable-yield issue to elect to compute the yield for annual periods ending on any date in order to permit a matching of such yield to the expenditure of the proceeds. Any such election must be made in writing, is irrevocable, and must be made no later than the earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary date, or (2) the final maturity date. Yield on a fixed interest rate issue (i.e., an issue of bonds the interest rate on which is determined as of the date of the issue) is computed over the entire term of the issue. Issuers of fixed-yield issues generally use the yield computed as of the date of issue for all rebate computations. Such yield on fixed-yield issues generally is recomputed only if (1) the issue is sold at a substantial premium, may be retired within five years of the date of delivery, and such date is earlier than its scheduled maturity date, or (2) the issue is a stepped-coupon bond. In such cases, the regulations require the issuer to recompute the yield on such issues by taking into account the early retirement value of the bonds. Similarly, recomputation may occur in circumstances in which the issuer or bondholder modify or waive certain terms of, or rights with respect to, the issue or in sophisticated hedging transactions. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, ISSUERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT McCALL. PARKHURST & HORTON LLP. TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THESE TRANSACTIONS. For purposes of determining the principal or redemption payments on a bond, different rules are used for fixed-rate and variable-rate bonds. The payment is computed separately on each maturity of bonds rather than on the issue as a whole. In certain circumstances, the yield on the bond is determined by assuming that principal on the bond is paid as scheduled and that the bond is retired on the final maturity date for the stated retirement price. For bonds subject to early redemption or stepped-coupon bonds, described above, or for bonds subject to mandatory early redemption, the yield is computed assuming the bonds are paid on the early redemption date for an amount equal to their value. Premiums paid to guarantee the payment of debt service on bonds are taken into account in computing the yield on the bond. Payments for guarantees are taken into account by treating such premiums as the payment of interest on the bonds. This treatment, in effect, raises the yield on the bond, thereby permitting the issuer to recover such fee with excess earnings. The guarantee must be an unconditional obligation of the guarantor enforceable by the bondholder for the payment of principal or interest on the bond or the tender price of a tender bond. The guarantee may be in the form of an insurance policy, surety bond, irrevocable letter or line of credit, or standby purchase agreement. Importantly, the guarantor must be legally entitled to full reimbursement for any payment made on the guarantee either immediately or McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 4 upon commercially reasonable repayment terms. The guarantor may not be a co-obligor of the bonds or a user of more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the bonds. Payments for the guarantee may not exceed a reasonable charge for the transfer of credit risk. This reasonable charge requirement is not satisfied unless it is reasonably expected that the guarantee will result in a net present value savings on the bond (i.e., the premium does not exceed the present value of the interest savings resulting by virtue of the guarantee). If the guarantee is entered into after June 14, 1989, then any fees charged for the nonguarantee services must be separately stated or the guarantee fee is not recoverable. The regulations also treat certain "hedging" transactions in a manner similarto qualified guarantees. "Hedges" are contracts, e.g., interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options, which are intended to reduce the risk of interest rate fluctuations. Hedges and other financial derivatives are sophisticated and ever-evolving financial products with which a memorandum, such as this, can not readily deal. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES. ISSUERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT McCALL. PARKHURST & HORTON L.L.P. TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THESE TRANSACTIONS. Earnings on Nonpurpose Investments The arbitrage rebate provisions apply only to the receipts from the investment of "gross proceeds" in "nonpurpose investments." For this purpose, nonpurpose investments are stock, bonds or other obligations acquired with the gross proceeds of the bonds for the period prior to the expenditure of the gross proceeds for the ultimate purpose. For example, investments deposited to construction funds, reserve funds (including surplus taxes or revenues deposited to sinking funds) or other similar funds are nonpurpose investments. Such investments include only those which are acquired with "gross proceeds." For this purpose, the term "gross proceeds" includes original proceeds received from the sale of the bonds, investment earnings from the investment of such original proceeds, amounts pledged to the payment of debt service on the bonds or amounts actually used to pay debt service on the bonds. The regulations do not provide a sufficient amount of guidance to include an exhaustive list of "gross proceeds" for this purpose; however, it can be assumed that "gross proceeds" represent all amounts received from the sale of bonds, amounts earned as a result of such sale or amounts (including taxes and revenues) which are used to pay, or secure the payment of, debt service for the bonds. The total amount of "gross proceeds" allocated to a bond generally can not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the bonds. The regulations provide that an investment is allocated to an issue for the period (1) that begins on the date gross proceeds are used to acquire the investment, and (2) that ends on the date such investment ceases to be allocated to the issue. In general, proceeds are allocated to a bond issue until expended for the ultimate purpose for which the bond was issued or for which such proceeds are received (e.g., construction of a bond-financed facility or payment of debt service on the bonds). Deposit of gross proceeds to the general fund of the issuer (or other fund in which they are commingled with revenues or taxes) does not eliminate or ameliorate the Issuer's obligation to compute rebate in most cases. As such, proceeds commingled with the general revenues of the issuer are not "freed-up" from the rebate obligation. An exception to this commingling limitation for bonds, other than private activity bonds, permits "investment earnings" (but not sale proceeds or other types of gross proceeds) to be considered spent when deposited to a commingled fund if those amounts are reasonably McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 5 expected to be spent within six months. Other than for these amounts, issuers may consider segregating investments in order to more easily compute the amount of such arbitrage earnings by not having to allocate investments. Special rules are provided for purposes of advance refundings. These rules are too complex to discuss in this memorandum. Essentially, the rules relating to refundings, however, do not require that amounts deposited to the escrow fund to defease the prior obligations of the issuer be subject to arbitrage rebate to the extent that the investments deposited to the escrow fund do not have a yield in excess of the yield on the bonds. Any loss resulting from the investment of proceeds in an escrow fund below the yield on the bonds, however, may be recovered by combining those investments with investments deposited to other funds, e.g., reserve or construction funds. The arbitrage regulations also provide an exception to the arbitrage limitations for the investment of bond proceeds in tax-exempt obligations. As such, investment of proceeds in tax exempt bonds eliminates the Issuer's rebate obligation. A caveat; this exception does not apply to gross proceeds derived allocable to a bond, which is not subject to the alternative minimum tax under section 57(a)(5) of the Code, if invested in tax-exempt bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax, i.e., " private activity bonds." Such "AMT-subject" investment is treated as a taxable investment and must comply with the arbitrage rules, including rebate. Earnings from these tax-exempt investments are subject to arbitrage restrictions, including rebate. Similarly, the investment of gross proceeds in certain tax-exempt mutual funds are treated as a direct investment in the tax-exempt obligations deposited in such fund. While issuers may invest in such funds for purposes of avoiding arbitrage rebate, they should be aware that if "private activity bonds" are included in the fund then a portion of the earnings will be subject to arbitrage rebate. Issuers should be prudent in assuring that the funds do not contain private activity bonds. The arbitrage regulations provide a number of instances in which earnings will be imputed to nonpurpose investments. Receipts generally will be imputed to investments that do not bear interest at an arm's-length (i.e., market) interest rate. As such, the regulations adopt a "market price" rule. In effect, this rule prohibits an issuer from investing bond proceeds in investments at a price which is higher than the market price of comparable obligations, in order to reduce the yield. Special rules are included for determining the market price for investment contracts, certificates of deposit and certain U.S. Treasury obligations. For example, to establish the fair market value of investment contracts a bidding process between three qualified bidders must be used. The fair market value of certificates of deposit which bear a fixed interest rate and are subject to an early withdrawal penalty is its purchase price if that price is not less than the yield on comparable U.S. Treasury obligations and is the highest yield available from the institution. In any event, a basic "common sense" rule-of-thumb that can be used to determine whether a fair market value has been paid is to ask whether the general funds of the issuer would be invested at the same yield or at a higher yield. An exception to this market price rule is available for United States Treasury Obligations - State or Local Government Series in which case the purchase price is always the market price. Reimbursement and Working Capital McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 6 The regulations provide rules for purposes of determining whether gross proceeds are used for working capital and, if so, at what times those proceeds are considered spent. In general, working capital financings are subject to many of the same rules that have existed since the mid-1970s. For example, the regulations generally continue the 13-month temporary period. By adopting a "proceeds-spent-last" rule, the regulations also generally require that an issuer actually incur a deficit (i.e., expenditures must exceed receipts) for the computation period (which generally corresponds to the issuer's fiscal year). Also, the regulations continue to permit an operating reserve, but unlike prior regulations the amount of such reserve may not exceed five percent of the issuer's actual working capital expenditures for the prior fiscal year. Another change made by the regulations is that the issuer may not finance the operating reserve with proceeds of a tax-exempt obligation. Importantly, the regulations contain rules for determining whether proceeds used to reimburse an issuer for costs paid prior to the date of issue of the obligation, in fact, are considered spent at the time of reimbursement. These rules apply to an issuer who uses general revenues for the payment of all or a portion of the costs of a project then uses the proceeds of the bonds to reimburse those general revenues. Failure to comply with these rules would result in the proceeds continuing to be subject to federal income tax restrictions, including rebate. To qualify for reimbursement, a cost must be described in an expression (e.g., resolution, legislative authorization) evidencing the issuer's intent to reimburse which is made no later than 60 days after the payment of the cost. Reimbursement must occur no later than 18 months after the later of (1) the date the cost is paid or (2) the date the project is placed in service. Except for projects requiring an extended construction period or small issuers, in no event can a cost be reimbursed more than three years after the cost is paid. Reimbursement generally is not permitted for working capital; only capital costs, grants and loans may be reimbursed. Moreover, certain anti-abuse rules apply to prevent issuers from avoiding the limitations on refundings. IN CASES INVOLVING WORKING CAPITAL OR REIMBURSEMENT, ISSUERS ARE ADVISED TO CONTACT McCALL, PARKHURST & HORTON L.L.P. TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION. Rebate Payments Rebate payments generally are due 60 days after each installment computation date. The interim computation dates occur each fifth anniversary of the issue date. The final computation date is on the latest of (1) the date 60 days after the date the issue of bonds is no longer outstanding, (2) the date eight months after the date of issue for certain short-term obligations (i.e., obligations retired within three years), or (3) the date the issuer no longer reasonably expects any spending exception, discussed below, to apply to the issue. On such payment dates, other than the final payment date, an issuer is required to pay 90 percent of the rebatable arbitrage to the United States. On the final payment date, an issuer is required to pay 100 percent of the remaining rebate liability. Failure to timely pay rebate does not necessarily result in the loss of tax-exemption. Late payments, however, are subject to the payment of interest, and unless waived, a penalty of 50 percent (or, in the case of private activity bonds, other than qualified 501 (c)(3) bonds, 100 McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 7 percent) of the rebate amount which is due. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, ISSUERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT McCALL, PARKHURST & HORTON L.L.P. TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THESE TRANSACTIONS. Rebate payments are refundable. The issuer, however, must establish to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service that the issuer paid an amount in excess of the rebate and that the recovery of the overpayment on that date would not result in additional rebatable arbitrage. An overpayment of less than $5,000 may not be recovered before the final computation date. Alternative Penalty Amount In certain cases, an issuer of a bond the proceeds of which are to be used for construction may elect to pay a penalty, in lieu of rebate. The penalty may be elected in circumstances in which the issuer expects to satisfy the two-year spending exception which is more fully described under the heading "Exceptions to Rebate." The penalty is payable, if at all, within 60 days after the end of each six-month period. This is more often than rebate. The election of the alternative penalty amount would subject an issuer, which fails the two-year spend-out requirements, to the payment of a penalty equal to one and one-half of the excess of the amount of proceeds which was required to be spent during that period over the amount which was actually spent during the period. The penalty has characteristics which distinguish it from arbitrage rebate. First, the penalty would be payable without regard to whether any arbitrage profit is actually earned. Second, the penalty continues to accrue until either (1) the appropriate amount is expended or (2) the issuer elects to terminate the penalty. To be able to terminate the penalty, the issuer must meet specific requirements and, in some instances, must pay an additional penalty equal to three percent of the unexpended proceeds. Exceptions to Rebate The Code and regulations provide certain exceptions to the requirement that the excess investment earnings be rebated to the United States. a. Small Issuers. The first exception provides that if an issuer (together with all subordinate issuers) during a calendar year does not issue tax-exempt bonds2 in an aggregate face amount exceeding $5 million, then the obligations are not subject to rebate. Only issuers with general taxing powers may take advantage of this exception. Subordinate issuers are those issuers which derive their authority to issue bonds from the same issuer, e.g., a city and a health facilities development corporation, or which are controlled by the same issuer, e.g., a state and the board of a public university. In the case of bonds issued for public school capital expenditures, the $5 million cap may be increased to as much as $15 million. For purposes of measuring whether bonds in the calendar year exceed these dollar limits, current refunding 2 For this purpose, "private activity bonds" neither are afforded the benefit of this exception nor are taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of bonds issued. McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 8 bonds can be disregarded if they meet certain structural requirements. Please contact McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. for further information. b. Spending Exceptions. Six-Month Exception. The second exception to the rebate requirement is available to all tax-exempt bonds, all of the gross proceeds of which are expended during six months. The six month rule is available to bonds issued after the effective date of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. See the discussion of effective dates on page two. For this purpose, proceeds used for the redemption of bonds (other than proceeds of a refunding bond deposited to an escrow fund to discharge refunded bonds) can not be taken into account as expended. As such, bonds with excess gross proceeds generally can not satisfy the second exception unless the amount does not exceed the lesser of five percent or $100,000 and such de minimis amount must be expended within one year. Certain gross proceeds are not subject to the spend-out requirement, including amounts deposited to a bona fide debt service fund, to a reserve fund and amounts which become gross proceeds received from purpose investments. These amounts themselves, however, may be subject to rebate even though the originally expended proceeds were not. The Code provides a special rule for tax and revenue anticipation notes (i.e., obligations issued to pay operating expenses in anticipation of the receipt of taxes and other revenues). Such notes are referred to as TRANs. To determine the timely expenditure of the proceeds of a TRAN, the computation of the "cumulative cash flow deficit" is important. If the "cumulative cash flow deficit" (i.e., the point at which the operating expenditures of the issuer on a cumulative basis exceed the revenues of the issuer during the fiscal year) occurs within the first six months of the date of issue and must be equal to at least 90 percent of the proceeds of the TRAN, then the notes are deemed to satisfy the exception. This special rule requires, however, that the deficit actually occur, not that the issuer merely have an expectation that the deficit will occur. In lieu of the statutory exception for TRANs, the regulations also provide a second exception. Under this exception, 100 percent of the proceeds must be spent within six months, but before note proceeds can be considered spent, all other available amounts of the issuer must be spent first ("proceeds-spent-last" rule). In determining whether all available amounts are spent, a reasonable working capital reserve equal to five percent of the prior year's expenditures may be set aside and treated as unavailable. 18-Month Exception. The regulations also establish a non-statutory exception to arbitrage rebate if all of the gross proceeds (including investment earnings) are expended within 18 months after the date of issue. Under this exception, 15 percent of the gross proceeds must be expended within a six-month spending period, 60 percent within a 12-month spending period and 100 percent within an 18-month spending period. The rule permits an issuer to rely on its reasonable expectations for computing investment earnings which are included as gross proceeds during the first and second spending period. A reasonable retainage not to exceed five percent of the sale proceeds of the issue is not required to be spent within the 18-month period but must be expended within 30 months. Rules similar to the six-month exception relate to the definition of gross proceeds. Two Year Exception. Bonds issued after December 19, 1989 (i.e., the effective date of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1989), at least 75 percent of the net proceeds of which are to be used for construction, may be exempted from rebate if the gross proceeds are spent McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 9 within two years. Bonds more than 25 percent of the proceeds of which are used for acquisition or working capital may not take advantage of this exception. The exception applies only to governmental bonds, qualified 501(c)(3) bonds and private activity bonds for governmentally- owned airports and docks and wharves. The two-year exception requires that at least 10 percent of the available construction proceeds must be expended within six months after the date of issue, 45 percent within 12 months, 75 percent within 18 months and 100 percent within 24 months. The term "available construction proceeds" generally means sale proceeds of the bonds together with investment earnings less amounts deposited to a qualified reserve fund or used to pay costs of issuance. Under this rule, a reasonable retainage not to exceed five percent need not be spent within 24 months but must be spent within 36 months. The two-year rule also provides for numerous elections which must be made not later than the date of issuance of the bonds. Once made, the elections are irrevocable. Certain elections permit an issuer to bifurcate bond issues, thereby treating only a portion of the issue as a qualified construction bond; and, permit an issuer to disregard earnings from reserve funds for purposes of determining "available construction proceeds." Another election permits an issuer to pay the alternative penalty amount discussed above in lieu of rebate if the issuer ultimately fails to satisfy the two-year rule. Issuers should discuss these elections with their financial advisors priorto issuance of the bonds. Of course, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. remains available to assist you by providing legal interpretations thereof. Debt Service Funds. Additionally, an exception to the rebate requirement, whether or not any of the previously discussed exceptions are available, applies for earnings on "bona fide debt service funds." A "bona fide debt service fund" is one in which the amounts are expended within 13 months of the accumulation of such amounts by the issuer. In general, most interest and sinking funds (other than any excess taxes or revenues accumulated therein) satisfy these requirements. For private activity bonds, short term bonds (i.e., have a term of less than five years) or variable rate bonds, the exclusion is available only if the gross earnings in such fund does not exceed $100,000, for the bond year. For other bonds issued after November 11, 1988, no limitation is applied to the gross earnings on such funds for purposes of this exception. Therefore, subject to the foregoing discussion, the issuer is not required to take such amounts into account for purposes of the computation. FOR BONDS ISSUED AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE TAX REFORM ACT OF 1986 WHICH WERE OUTSTANDING AS OF NOVEMBER 11, 1988, OTHER THAN PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS, SHORT TERM BONDS OR VARIABLE RATE BONDS, A ONE-TIME ELECTION MAY BE MADE TO EXCLUDE EARNINGS ON "BONA FIDE DEBT SERVICE FUNDS" WITHOUT REGARD TO THE $100,000, LIMITATION. THE ELECTION MUST BE MADE IN WRITING (AND MAINTAINED AS PART OF THE ISSUER'S BOOKS AND RECORDS) NO LATER THAN THE LATER OF MARCH 21, 1990, OR THE FIRST DATE A REBATE PAYMENT IS REQUIRED.

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

As a result of that issuance, the federal income tax laws impose certain restrictions on the investment and expenditure of amounts to be used for the project or to be deposited to the debt service fund for the captioned bonds. The purpose of this letter is to set forth, in somewhat less technical language, those provisions of the tax law which require the timely use of bond proceeds and that investment of these amounts be at a yield which is not higher than the yield on the bonds. Please note that the Form 803 8-G has been prepared based on the information provided by or on your behalf by your financial advisor. Accordingly, while we believe that the information is correct you may wish to have the yield confirmed before your rebate consultant or the paying agent attempt to rely on it. The District has determined that there are no unexpended original and investment proceeds of the outstanding bonds deposited to the construction fund. Generally, the federal tax laws provide that, unless excepted, amounts to be used for the project or to be deposited to the debt service fund must be invested in obligations the combined yield on which does not exceed the yield on the bonds. For this purpose, please refer to line 21 (e) of the Form 803 8-G included in the transcript of proceedings for the yield. Importantly, for purposes of administrative convenience, the bonds, however, have been structured in such a way as to avoid, for the most part, this restriction on investment yield. As such, for analytical purposes only, we have segregated the debt service fund into three separate accounts. This does not require that you segregate monies deposited to the debt service fund into those accounts, but you should keep in mind the limitations imposed on each of those hypothetical accounts. They also contain certain covenants relating to expenditures of proceeds designed to alert you to unintentional failures to comply with the laws affecting expenditures of proceeds and dispositions of property. First, the sale and investment proceeds to be used for the new money project may be invested for up to three years without regard to yield. (Such amounts, however, may be subject to rebate.) Thereafter, they must be invested at or below the bond yield. Importantly, expenditure of these proceeds must be accounted in your books and records. Allocations of these expenditures must occur within 18 months of the later of the date paid or the date the project is completed. The foregoing notwithstanding, the allocation should not occur later than 60 days after the earlier of (1) of five years after the delivery date of the bonds or (2) the date the bonds are retired unless you obtain an opinion of bond counsel. Second, the debt service fund is made up of taxes which are levied annually for the payment of current debt service on all the District's outstanding bonds. Any taxes deposited to the debt service fund which are to be used for the payment of current debt service on the captioned bonds, or any other outstanding bonds, are not subject to yield restriction. By definition, current debt service refers only to debt service to be paid within one year of the date of receipt of the taxes. For the most part, this would be debt service in the current fiscal year. These amounts deposited to the account for current debt service may be invested without regard to any constraint imposed by the federal income tax laws. Third, the debt service fund contains an amount of taxes, which although not expended for debt service within the current year, are necessary to ensure that amounts will be sufficient to pay debt service in the event that taxes are insufficient during that period. This amount, commonly referred to as "coverage," represents a reserve account against periodic fluctuations in the receipt of tax revenues. The Internal Revenue Code permits amounts which are held in reserve for the payment of debt service, in such instances, to be invested without regard to yield restriction if such amounts do not exceed the lesser of (1) 10 percent of the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding bonds, (2) maximum annual debt service on all outstanding bonds, or (3) 125 percent of average annual debt service on all outstanding bonds. Fourth, a portion of the debt service fund is permitted to be invested without regard to yield restriction as a "minor portion." The "minor portion" exception is available for de minimis amounts of taxes deposited to the debt service fund. The maximum amount that may be invested as part of this account may not exceed the lesser of five percent of the principal amount of the bonds or $100,000. Accordingly, you should review the current balance in the debt service fund in order to determine if such balance exceeds the aggregate amount of these three accounts. Additionally, in the future it is important that you be aware of these accounts as additional amounts are deposited to the debt service fund. The amounts which are subject to yield restriction would only be the amounts which are in excess of the sum of (1) the current debt service account, (2) the reserve account, and (3) the "minor portion" account. Moreover, to the extent that additional bonds are issued by the District, whether for new money projects or for refunding, these amounts will change in their proportion. The order contains covenants that require the Issuer to comply with the requirements of the federal tax laws relating to the tax-exempt obligations. The Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") has determined that certain materials, records and information should be retained by the issuers of tax-exempt obligations for the purpose of enabling the Service to confirm the exclusion of the interest on such obligations under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the Issuer should retain such materials, records and information for the period beginning on the issue date of the outstanding bonds, or, in the case of a sequence of refundings, the issue date of the obligations originally financing the refinanced project and ending three years after the date the captioned bonds are retired. Please note this federal tax law standard may vary from state law standards. The material, records and information required to be retained will generally be contained in the transcript of proceedings for the captioned bonds, however, the Issuer should collect and retain additional materials, records and information to ensure the continued compliance with federal tax law requirements. For example, beyond the transcript of proceedings for the bonds, the Issuer should keep schedules evidencing the expenditure of bond proceeds, documents relating to the use of bond-financed property by governmental and any private parties (e.g., leases and management contracts, if any) and schedules pertaining to the investment of bond proceeds. In the event that you have questions relating to record retention, please contact us. The Service also wants some assurance that any failure to comply with the federal tax laws was not due to an issuer's intentional disregard or gross neglect of the responsibilities imposed on it by the federal tax laws. Therefore, to ensure post-issuance compliance, an issuer should consider adopting formalized written guidelines to help the issuer perform diligence reviews at regular intervals. The goal is for issuers to be able to timely identify and resolve violations of the laws necessary to maintain their obligations' tax-favored status. While the federal tax certificate, together with its attachments, may generally provide a basic written guideline when incorporated in an organizations' operations, the extent to which an organization has appropriate written compliance procedures in place is to be determined on a case-by-case basis Moreover, the Service has indicated that written procedures should identify the personnel that adopted the procedures, the personnel that is responsible for monitoring compliance, the frequency of compliance check activities, the nature of the compliance check activities undertaken, and the date such procedures were originally adopted and subsequently updated, if applicable. The Service has stated that the adoption of such procedures will be a favorable factor that the Service will consider when determining the amount of any penalty to be imposed on an issuer in the event of an unanticipated and non-curable failure to comply with the tax laws. Finally, you should notice that the order contains a covenant that limits the ability of the District to sell or otherwise dispose of bond-financed property for compensation. Beginning for obligations issued after May 15, 1997 (including certain refunding bonds), or in cases in which an issuer elects to apply new private activity bond regulations, such sale or disposition causes the creation of a class of proceeds referred to as "disposition proceeds." Disposition proceeds, like sale proceeds and investment earnings, are tax-restricted funds. Failure to appropriately account, invest or expend such disposition proceeds would adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the bonds. In the event that you anticipate selling property, even in the ordinary course, please contact us. Obviously, this letter only presents a fundamental discussion of the yield restriction rules as applied to amounts deposited to the debt service fund. Moreover, this letter does not address the rebate consequences with respect to the debt service fund and you should review the memorandum attached to the Federal Tax Certificate as Exhibit "A" for this purpose. If you have certain concerns with respect to the matters discussed in this letter or wish to ask additional questions with regards to certain limitations imposed, please feel free to contact our firm. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to our continued relationship. Very truly yours, McCALL, PARKJTURST & HORTON L.L.P. cc: Gregory C.

I have examined the law and such certified proceedings and other papers as I deem necessary to render this opinion. As to questions of fact material to my opinion, I have relied upon representations of the Issuer contained in the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished to me without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation.

Based on my examination, I am of the opinion, as of the date hereof and under existing law, as follows: (1) The Bond has been issued in accordance with law and is a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer. (2) In accordance with the provisions of the law, including an Escrow Agreement dated as of March 5, 2012, firm banking arrangements have been made for the discharge and final payment or redemption of the obligations being refunded upon deposit of an amount sufficient to pay said obligations when due. (3) The Bond is payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax levied, without limitation as to rate or amount, upon all taxable property within the Issuer. Therefore, the Bond is approved.

Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given in the Order of the District authorizing the issuance and sale of the Bonds (the "Order"). WE HAVE EXAMINED the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and other documents authorizing and relating to the issuance of said Bonds, including one of the executed Bonds (Bond Number T-l), and specimens of Bonds to be authenticated and delivered in exchange for the Bonds. BASED ON SAID EXAMINATION, IT IS OUR OPINION THAT the Bonds have been authorized and issued and the Bonds delivered concurrently with this opinion have been duly delivered, and that, assuming due authentication, Bonds issued in exchange therefor will have been duly delivered, in accordance with law, and that said Bonds, except as may be limited by laws applicable to the District relating to bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar matters affecting creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the District, payable from ad valorem taxes to be levied and collected by the District upon taxable property within the District, which taxes the District has covenanted to levy in an amount sufficient to pay the interest on and the principal of the Bonds. Such covenant to levy taxes is subject to the right of a city, under existing Texas law, to annex all of the territory within the District; to take over all properties and assets of the District; to assume all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the District, including the Bonds; and to abolish the District or if the District consolidates with another District. IT IS FURTHER OUR OPINION, except as discussed below, that the interest on the Bonds is excludable from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes under the statutes, regulations, published rulings, and court decisions existing on the date of this opinion. We are further of the opinion that the Bonds are not "specified private activity bonds" and that, accordingly, interest on the Bonds will not be included as an individual or corporate alternative minimum tax preference item under section 5 7(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). In expressing the aforementioned opinions, we have relied on, certain representations, the accuracy of which we have not independently verified, and assume compliance with certain covenants regarding the use and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds and the use of the property financed or refinced therewith. We call your attention to the fact that if such representations are determined to be inaccurate or if the Issuer fails to comply with such covenants, interest on the Bonds may become includable in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, we express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of the Bonds. WE CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT the interest on tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, is included in a corporation's alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of determining the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. OUR OPINIONS ARE BASED ON EXISTING LAW, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"); rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that we deem relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to determine compliance with rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published procedures the Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer. We observe that the Issuer has covenanted not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, may result in the treatment of interest on the Bonds as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. WE EXPRESS NO OPINION as to any insurance policies issued with respect to the payments due for the principal of and interest on the Bonds, nor as to any such insurance policies issued in the future. OUR SOLE ENGAGEMENT in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is as Bond Counsel for the Issuer, and, in that capacity, we have been engaged by the Issuer for the sole purpose of rendering our opinions with respect to the legality and validity of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and with respect to the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes, and for no other reason or purpose. The foregoing opinions represent our legal judgment based upon a review of existing legal authorities that we deem relevant to render such opinions and are not a guarantee of a result. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not independently investigated or verified, any records, data, or other material relating to the financial condition or capabilities of the Issuer, or the disclosure thereof in connection with the sale of the Bonds, and have not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto. We express no opinion and make no comment with respect to the marketability of the Bonds. Our role in connection with the Issuer's Official Statement prepared for use in connection with the sale of the Bonds has been limited as described therein.

All references in this opinion to instruments and other defined terms shall mean the instruments and other terms as defined in the Purchase Contract. The opinions expressed below are qualified to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in any of the agreements or documents listed may be subject to and affected by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, or by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion. Based upon and subject to the above and foregoing, and our examination of such other information and documents, including provisions of the Constitution and applicable State and federal laws as we believe necessary to enable us to render this opinion, we are of the opinion that: (a) The Order was duly adopted by the governing body of the Issuer and the Pricing Certificate has been duly executed by the Pricing Officer, and the Order and the Pricing Certificate are in full force and effect as of the date of this opinion. (b) The Bonds are exempted securities within the meaning of Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), and it is not necessary, in connection with the offer and sale of the Bonds, to register the Bonds under the 1933 Act or to qualify the Order under the Trust Indenture Act. Insofar as the Official Statement is concerned, our review and examination was limited to the information contained under the captions "PLAN OF FINANCING," "THE BONDS" (except under the subcaptions "Payment Record" and "Default and Remedies" and the second and third sentences under the subcaption "Issuance of Additional Debt"), "TAX MATTERS" and "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION" (except under the subcaption "Compliance with Prior Agreements"), and the subcaptions "OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION"-Registration and Qualification of Bonds for Sale", "OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION- Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas", and "OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION-Legal Matters" (except for the last two sentences of the second paragraph thereof), and we are of the opinion that such descriptions present a fair and accurate summary of the provisions of the laws and instruments therein described and, with respect to the Bonds, such information conforms to the Bond Order. Save and except for the review of the foregoing captions, we have not undertaken to determine independently the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of any other information, data or descriptions contained in the Official Statement, including particularly, but not limited to, the financial and statistical data included therein. In addition, please be advised that the Underwriters are entitled to rely upon the opinion of Bond Counsel delivered in accordance with Section 6(i)(3) of the Purchase Contract. 2 TAB 19 FULBRIGHT Qj>Jaworski L.L.V.

In that connection, we have examined the Official Statement of the District relating to the Bonds, dated February 14, 2012 (the "Official Statement"), the Purchase Contract, dated February 14, 2012, between the District and you, the Order (as defined in the Purchase Contract) authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, adopted by the Board of Directors of the District on December 20, 2011, and the Pricing Certificate (as defined in the Order) approved and executed pursuant to the Order on February 14, 2012 (the Order and the Pricing Certificate are hereinafter jointly referred to as the "Bond Order"). In making such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the original documents of copies of such documents submitted to us as certified or mechanically reproduced copies. As to questions of fact material to the opinions hereinafter expressed, where such facts have not been independently established, and as to the content and form of documents or writings, we have relied in part and to the extent we deem reasonably appropriate upon the representations and warranties of the District contained in the Purchase Contract and certificates of officers and representatives of the District and public officials. Based upon the foregoing, and having due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the Bonds are exempted securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), and it is not necessary, in connection with the offering and sale of the Bonds, to register the Bonds under the 1933 Act and the Bond Order need not be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. 52019170.1 AUSTIN • BEIJING • DALLAS • DENVER • DUBAI • HONG KONG • HOUSTON • LONDON • LOS ANGELES MINNEAPOLIS • MUNICH • NEW YORK • PITTSBURGH-SOUTHPOINTE • RIYADH • SAN ANTONIO • ST.

Rationale Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'AA-' rating and stable outlook to Trophy Club Municipal Utility District (MUD) No. 1, Texas' series 2012 unlimited-tax general obligation (GO) refunding bonds and affirmed its 'AA-' rating, with a stable outlook, on the district's series 2010 unlimited-tax GO bonds. The rating reflects our opinion of the district's: • Access to Dallas-Fort Worth's deep economy, resulting in, what we consider, very strong income; • Mature development with limited capital needs; and • Sizable property tax base with, what we view as, a low property tax rate, providing it with revenue-raising flexibility. We believe what we consider the district's moderate overall debt somewhat constrains the rating. An unlimited ad valorem tax levied on all taxable property in the MUD secures the series 2012 refunding bonds. Officials intend to use bond proceeds to refund a portion of the district's debt, resulting in an estimated present value savings of $179,000. MUD No. 1 provides water, sewer, and fire protection services to its 2,284-acre service area in the towns of Trophy Club and Westlake, approximately 27 miles northwest of downtown Dallas and 25 miles northeast of downtown Fort Worth. Trophy Club's access to a broader economy has resulted in, what we view as, very strong median household income equal to 200% of the national level. The MUD is mature with approximately 91% of developable land containing utility infrastructure. Development consists of 3,172 occupied homes ranging in price from $200,000 to $1 million; 178 multifamily units; 138 homes under construction; and 72 vacant lots. The district also contains commercial development that includes an office complex and a shopping center. Approximately 195 acres remain undeveloped, 135 acres of which are zoned for residential purposes and 60 acres of which are zoned for commercial purposes. The property tax base remains sizable. Despite a 6% contraction since fiscal 2010, due primarily to an increase in exemptions and protests of appraised values, the tax base has increased by a cumulative 4.6% since fiscal 2008 to $954.6 million in fiscal 2012. Despite its commercial presence, the tax base is diverse with the 10 leading taxpayers Standard & Poors | RatingsDirect on the Global Credit Portal | February 8, 2012 2 Summary: Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1, Texas; General Obligation accounting for 24.6% of assessed value (AV). The MUD is adjacent to Trophy Club Public Improvement District (PID) No. 1. Significant home construction is also occurring in the PID. While land in the PID is not subject to the MUD's property tax levy, the MUD provides water, sewer, and fire protection services to PID residents; this generates additional operating revenue for the MUD. In our opinion, finances are good. The assigned and unassigned general fund balance of $3.33 million at fiscal year-end 2011 equaled, what we view as, a good 57% of expenditures. Water and sewer charges (75%) and property taxes (19%) generated the bulk of fiscal 2011 general fund revenue. The MUD's debt service fund provides debt service liquidity; the fund contained $107,847 at fiscal year-end 2011, or, in our view, a low 12% of the MUD's maximum annual debt service payment scheduled to occur in 2012. Management attributes essentially all revenue in the debt service fund to property taxes. The MUD's property tax rate is, in our view, a very low 17.5 cents per $100 of AV. Monthly combined water and sewer rates are, what we consider, a competitive $67.18 per 8,000 gallons consumed. The MUD's direct debt is, in our opinion, low at less than 1% of AV. In our view, including all overlapping entities, the MUD's overall net debt is a moderate 4.7% of AV. We consider debt amortization front loaded with officials planning to retire 71% of principal over 10 years and 100% by 2031. Management does not intend to issue any additional debt within the next 18 months. Outlook The stable outlook reflects Standard & Poor's opinion that the MUD's mature development will likely limit any significant debt-supported capital needs and that a sizable property tax base will likely allow direct debt and the MUD's property tax rate to remain, what Standard &c Poor's considers, low and manageable. Given the current rating, we do not think we will change the rating within the outlook's two-year period.

As provided in the Bond Order, this Bond may, at the request of the Registered Owner or the assignee or assignees hereof, be assigned, transferred, converted into and exchanged for a like aggregate amount of fully registered Bonds, without interest coupons, payable to the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, having any authorized denomination or denominations as requested in writing by the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, upon surrender of this Bond to the Registrar for cancellation, all in accordance with the form and procedures set forth in the Bond Order. Among other requirements for such assignment and transfer, this Bond must be presented and surrendered to the Registrar, together with proper instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Registrar, evidencing assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof in any authorized denomination to the assignee or assignees in whose name or names this Bond or any such portion or portions hereof is or are to be registered. The Form of Assignment printed or endorsed on this Bond may be executed by the Registered Owner to evidence the assignment hereof, but such method is not exclusive, and other instruments of assignment satisfactory to the Registrar may be used to evidence the assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof from time to time by the Registered Owner. The Registrar's reasonable standard or customary fees and charges for assigning, transferring, converting and exchanging any Bond or portion thereof will be paid by the District. In any circumstance, any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto shall be paid by the one requesting such assignment, transfer, conversion or exchange, as a condition precedent to the exercise of such privilege. The Registrar shall not be required to make any such transfer, conversion or exchange of any Bond or any portion thereof (i) during the period commencing with the close of business on any Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the next following principal or Interest Payment Date or (ii) within 45 calendar days prior to its redemption date; provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Registered Owner of the unredeemed balance hereof in the event of its redemption in part. 19 WHENEVER the beneficial ownership of this Bond is determined by a book entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, the foregoing requirements of holding, delivering or transferring this Bond shall be modified to require the appropriate person or entity to meet the requirements of the securities depository as to registering or transferring the book entry to produce the same effect. IN THE EVENT any Registrar for the Bonds is changed by the District, resigns, or otherwise ceases to act as such, the District has covenanted in the Bond Order that it promptly will appoint a competent and legally qualified substitute therefor, and cause written notice thereof to be mailed to the Registered Owners of the Bonds. THE BONDS are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax, without legal limit as to rate or amount, levied upon all taxable property within the District. The Bond Order provides that the District reserves the right to consolidate with one or more conservation and reclamation districts, to consolidate its waterworks and sewer systems with the systems of such districts, and to secure the Bonds and any other bonds of the District or such districts by a pledge of taxes of the consolidated system. The Bond Order further provides that the pledge of taxes, to the payment of the Bonds shall terminate at such time, if ever, as (i) money and/or defeasance obligations in an amount sufficient to defease the Bonds is deposited with or made available to the Registrar in accordance with the Bond Order or (ii) a city dissolves the District, and assumes the obligations of the District pursuant to existing Texas law. THE BONDS are issued pursuant to the Bond Order, whereunder the District covenants to levy a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax, without legal limit as to rate or amount, on taxable property within the District, for each year while any part of the Bonds are considered outstanding under the provisions of the Bond Order, in sufficient amount, together with revenues and receipts available from other sources which are equally available for such purposes, to pay interest on the Bonds as it becomes due, to provide a sinking fund for the payment of the principal of the Bonds when due or the redemption price at any earlier required redemption date with respect to the Bonds, and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such tax, all as more specifically provided in the Bond Order. Reference is hereby made to the Bond Order for provisions with respect to the operation and maintenance of the District's facilities, the custody and application of funds, remedies in the event of a default hereunder or thereunder, and the other rights of the Registered Owners of the Bonds. By acceptance of this Bond the Registered Owner hereof consents to all of the provisions of the Bond Order, a certified copy of which is on file in the office of the District. THE OBLIGATION to pay the principal of and the interest on this Bond is solely and exclusively the obligation of the District until such time, if ever, as the District is abolished and this Bond is assumed as described above. No other entity, including the State of Texas, any political subdivision thereof other than the District, or any other public or private body, is obligated, directly, indirectly, contingently, or in any other manner, to pay the principal of or the interest on this Bond from any source whatsoever. No part of the physical properties of the District, including the properties provided by the proceeds of the Bonds, is encumbered by any lien for the benefit of the Registered Owner of this Bond. 20 THE DISTRICT RESERVES THE RIGHT to issue additional bonds heretofore or hereafter duly authorized at elections held in the District payable from a lien on and pledge of taxes; bonds, notes and other obligations of inferior liens, and revenue bonds, notes and other obligations payable solely from revenues of the District or revenues to be received under contracts with other persons, including private corporations, municipalities and political subdivisions or from any other source. The District further reserves the right to issue refunding bonds in any manner permitted by law to refund any bonds (including the Bonds) at or prior to their respective dates of maturity or redemption. TO THE EXTENT permitted by and in the manner provided in the Bond Order, the terms and provisions of the Bond Order and the rights of the Registered Owners of the Bonds may be modified with, in certain circumstances, the consent of the Registered Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds affected thereby; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Registered Owners of all of the Bonds affected, no such modification shall (i) extend the time or times of payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, (ii) give any preference to any Bond over any other Bond, or (iii) reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds required for consent to any such modification. THIS BOND shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any benefit under the Bond Order unless this Bond either (a) is registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas as evidenced by execution of the registration certificate endorsed hereon or (b) is authenticated as evidenced by execution of the authentication certificate endorsed hereon by the Registrar. IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, COVENANTED, AND REPRESENTED that all acts, conditions, and things necessary to be done precedent to the issuance of the Bonds in order to render the same legal, valid, and binding obligations of the District have happened and have been accomplished and performed in regular and due time, form, and manner, as required by law; that provision has been made for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds by the levy of a continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax upon all taxable property within the District and that issuance of the Bonds does not exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation.

The Bonds are secured by and payable from the levy of a continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax, without legal limitation as to rate or amount, upon all taxable property within the District. SECTION 7.02. LEVY OF TAX, (a) To pay the interest on the Bonds, and to create a sinking fund for the payment of the principal thereof when due, and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such taxes, there is hereby levied, and there shall be assessed and collected in due time, a continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax without limit as to rate or amount on all taxable property in the District for each year while any of the Bonds are outstanding. All of the proceeds of such collections, except expenses incurred in that connection, shall be paid into the Debt Service Fund, and the aforementioned tax and such payments into such fund shall continue until the Bonds and the interest thereon have been fully paid and discharged, and such proceeds shall be used for such purposes and no other. While said Bonds, or any of them, are outstanding and unpaid, an ad valorem tax will be ample and sufficient to provide funds to pay the interest on said Bonds and to provide the necessary sinking fund to pay the principal when due, full allowance being made for delinquencies and costs of collection, together with revenues and receipts from other sources that are legally available for such purpose, shall be levied and collected and applied to the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds, as follows: (1) By September 1 in each year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Board shall consider the taxable property in the District and determine the actual rate per $100 valuation of taxable property which is to be levied in that year and levy the tax against all taxable property in the District. (2) In determining the actual rate to be levied in each year, the Board shall consider among other things: (i) the amount which should be levied for maintenance and operation purposes; 26 (ii) the amount which should be levied for the payment of principal, interest, and redemption price of the bonds or notes payable in whole or in part from taxes; (iii) the amount which should be levied for the purpose of paying all other contractual obligations of the District payable in whole or in part from taxes; and (iv) the percentage of anticipated tax collections and the cost of collecting the taxes. (3) In determining the amount of taxes which should be levied each year, the Board shall consider whether proceeds from the sale of Bonds have been placed in the Debt Service Fund to pay interest on the Bonds and whether the Board reasonably expects to have revenue or receipts available from other sources which are legally available to pay debt service on the Bonds. (b) Chapter 1208, Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Bonds and the pledge of ad valorem taxes granted by the District under this Order, and such pledge is therefore valid, effective and perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge of ad valorem taxes granted by the District under this Order is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the registered owners of the Bonds the perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the District agrees to take such measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing to perfect the security interest in said pledge to occur. SECTION 7.03. PAYMENT OF BONDS AND PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. The District covenants to pay promptly the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due and payable, whether at maturity or by prior redemption, in accordance with the terms of the Bonds and this Bond Order, and to keep and perform faithfully all of its covenants, undertakings, and agreements contained in this Bond Order, or in any Bond executed, authenticated, and delivered hereunder. SECTION 7.04. CONSOLIDATION OR DISSOLUTION OF DISTRICT. To the extent provided by law, the pledge of taxes set forth in Section 7.02 will terminate if a city takes over all properties and assets, assumes all debts, liabilities, and obligations, and performs all functions and services of the District, and the District is abolished pursuant to law. The laws of the State of Texas permit the District to be consolidated with one or more conservation and reclamation districts. In the event the District is consolidated with another district or districts, the District reserves the right to: (i) Consolidate the System with a similar system of one or more districts with which the District is consolidating and operate and maintain the systems as one consolidated system (herein for purposes of this section the "Consolidated System"). 27 (ii) Apply the net revenues from the operation of the Consolidated System to the payment of principal, interest, redemption price and bank charges on the revenue bonds or the combination tax and revenue bonds (herein for purposes of this section the "Revenue Bonds") of the District and of the district or districts with which the District is consolidating (herein collectively the "Consolidating Districts") without preference to any series of bonds (except subordinate lien revenue bonds which shall continue to be subordinate to the first lien Revenue Bonds of the Consolidating Districts). (iii) Pledge the net revenues of the Consolidated System to the payment of principal, interest, redemption price and bank charges on Revenue Bonds which may be issued by the Consolidating Districts on a parity with the outstanding first lien Revenue Bonds of the Consolidating Districts. ARTICLE EIGHT FLOW OF FUNDS AND INVESTMENTS SECTION 8.01. FUNDS. FLOW OF FUNDS. The following funds are hereby created: (i) Debt Service Fund for the Bonds; and (ii) Escrow Fund. Each fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the District.

All other funds shall be trust funds which shall be used solely as provided in this Bond Order until all of the Bonds have been retired, both as to principal and interest. SECTION 8.02. SECURITY OF FUNDS. Any cash balance in any fund, to the extent not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or its successor, shall be continuously secured in the manner provided by law for the security of funds of counties of the State of Texas.

The District shall pay fees and charges of the Registrar for its services as paying agent and registrar for the Bonds from the Debt Service Fund. SECTION 8.04. ESCROW FUND. The Escrow Fund shall be created and shall be governed by the terms of the Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B" with such changes as approved by the Pricing Officer. SECTION 8.05. INVESTMENTS: EARNINGS. Moneys deposited into the Debt Service Fund and any other fund or funds which the District may lawfully create may be invested or reinvested in Authorized Investments. All investments and any profits realized from and interest accruing on investments made from any fund may be transferred to the Debt Service Fund. If any moneys are so invested, the District shall have the right to have sold in the open market a sufficient amount of such investments to meet its obligations in the event any fund does not have sufficient uninvested funds on hand to meet the obligations payable out of such fund. After such sale the moneys resulting therefrom shall belong to the fund from which the moneys for such investments were initially taken. The District shall not be responsible to the Registered Owners for any loss arising out of the sale of any investments. ARTICLE NINE APPLICATION OF FUNDS SECTION 9.01. BOND PROCEEDS. Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be disbursed in accordance with this Article. SECTION 9.02. ACCRUED INTEREST.

ARTICLE TEN PROVISIONS CONCERNING FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXCLUSION SECTION 10.01. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON THE BONDS, (a) Covenants. The District covenants to take any action necessary to assure, or refrain from any action which would adversely affect, the treatment of the 29 Bonds 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 District covenants as follows: (1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the Refunded Bonds or the projects financed or refinanced 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 of the Bonds or the Refunded Bonds or the projects financed or refinanced therewith are so used, such amounts, whether or not received by the District, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Order or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service on the Bonds, 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 Bonds or the Refunded Bonds or the projects financed or refinanced 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 Bonds (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 Bonds 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 Bonds 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 Bonds, 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 Bonds, other than investment property acquired with ~ (A) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3 years or less or, in the case of a current refunding bond, for a period of 90 days and in the case of an advance refunding bond, for a period of 30 days, (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 Bonds; 30 (7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated as proceeds of the Bonds, as may be necessary, so that the Bonds do not otherwise contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings); and (8) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Bonds) 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 Bonds 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 District 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) Proceeds. The District 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 Bonds. It is the understanding of the District 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 Bonds, the District 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 Bonds 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 Bonds, the District 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 Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the District hereby authorizes and directs the President or Treasurer of the Board of Directors to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the District, which may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Bonds. (d) Disposition of Project. The District covenants that the property constituting the projects refinanced with the proceeds of the Bonds will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the District of cash or other compensation, unless the District obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. 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. 31 For purposes hereof, the District 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) Designation as Qualified Tax-Exempt Bonds. The District hereby designates the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt bonds" as defined in section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In furtherance of such designation, the District represents, covenants and warrants the following: (a) that during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued, the District (including any subordinate entities) has not designated nor will designate bonds, which when aggregated with the Bonds, will result in more than $10,000,000 of "qualified tax-exempt bonds" being issued; (b) that the District reasonably anticipates that the amount of tax-exempt obligations issued, during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued, by the District (or any subordinate entities) will not exceed $10,000,000; and, (c) that the District will take such action or refrain from such action as necessary, and as more particularly set forth in this Section, in order that the Bonds will not be considered "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code. (f) Written Procedures. Unless superseded by another action of the District, to ensure compliance with the covenants contained in this Order regarding private business use, remedial actions, arbitrage and rebate, the District hereby adopts and establishes the instructions attached hereto as Exhibit "E" as its written procedures.

At such time as a Bond shall be deemed to be a Defeased Bond hereunder, as aforesaid, such Bond and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by, payable from, or entitled to the benefits of, the ad valorem taxes herein levied as provided in this Order, and such principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or Defeasance Securities. (b) The deposit under clause (ii) of subsection (a) shall be deemed a payment of a Bond as aforesaid when proper notice of redemption of such Bonds shall have been given, in accordance with this Order.

Until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Bonds the same as if they had not been defeased, and the District shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Order. (d) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Order, if money or Defeasance Securities have been deposited or set aside with the Paying Agent/Registrar or a commercial bank or trust company pursuant to this Section for the payment of Bonds and such Bonds shall not have in fact been actually paid in full, no amendment of the provisions of this Section shall be made without the consent of the registered owner of each Bond affected thereby. (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) immediately above, to the extent that, upon the defeasance of any Defeased Bond to be paid at its maturity, the District retains the right under Texas law to later call that Defeased Bond for redemption in accordance with the provisions of the order authorizing its issuance, the District may call such Defeased Bond for redemption upon complying with the provisions of Texas law and upon the satisfaction of the provisions of subsection (a) immediately above with respect to such Defeased Bond as though it was being defeased at the time of the exercise of the option to redeem the Defeased Bond and the effect of the redemption is taken into account in determining the sufficiency of the provisions made for the payment of the Defeased Bond.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period in which ownership of the Bonds is determined only by a book entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, any payment to the securities depository, or its nominee or registered assigns, shall be made in accordance with existing arrangements between the District and the securities depository.

In addition, interest may be paid by such other method, acceptable to the 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 calendar 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 District.

ANY ACCRUED INTEREST due at maturity or upon the redemption of this Bond prior to maturity as provided herein shall be paid to the Registered Owner upon presentation and surrender of this Bond for payment at the designated office for payment of the Paying Agent/Registrar. The District covenants with the Registered Owner of this Bond that on or before each principal payment date, interest payment date, and any redemption date for this Bond it will make available to the Registrar, from the "Debt Service Fund" the creation of which is affirmed by the Bond Order, the amounts required to provide for the payment, in immediately available funds, of all principal of and interest on the Bonds, when due. IF THE DATE for any payment due on this Bond shall be a Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which the Paying Agent/Registrar is authorized by law or executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not such a Saturday, Sunday, or day on which the Paying Agent/Registrar is authorized by law or executive order to remain closed; C-2 and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the original date payment was due. THIS BOND is one of a series of Bonds dated as of March 1, 2012 and authorized to be issued pursuant to the Bond Order adopted by the Board of Directors of the District in the principal amount of $2,355,000 FOR PURPOSES OF REFUNDING THE REFUNDED BONDS AND PAYING CERTAIN COSTS OF ISSUING THE BONDS. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given in the Bond Order. ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 OR ON ANY DATE THEREAFTER, the Bonds maturing on and after September 1, 2021, may be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, at the option of the District, with funds derived from any available and lawful source, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption as a whole, or from time to time in part, and, if in part, the particular Bonds, or portions thereof, to be redeemed shall be selected and designated by the District, and if less than all of a maturity is to be redeemed the Registrar shall determine by lot the Bonds, or portions thereof within such maturity to be redeemed (provided that a portion of a Bond may be redeemed only in integral multiples of $5,000 of principal amount). AT LEAST 30 calendar days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of Bonds or portions thereof prior to maturity a written notice of such redemption shall be sent by the Registrar by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the Registered Owner of each Bond to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the Register on the 45th calendar day prior to such redemption date and to major securities depositories and bond information services. By the date fixed for any such redemption due provision shall be made with the Registrar for the payment of the required redemption price for the Bonds or portions for which such payment is made, all as provided above. The Bonds or portions thereof which 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 for redemption, and they shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the Registered Owner to receive the redemption price from the Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. If a portion of any Bond shall be redeemed, a substitute Bond or Bonds having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate, in any authorized denomination or denominations, 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 District, all as provided in the Bond Order. WITH RESPECT TO any optional redemption of the Bonds, unless certain prerequisites to such redemption required by the Bond Order have been met and moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to be redeemed shall have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice shall state that said redemption may, at the option of the District, 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, C-3 the District shall not redeem such Bonds and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that the Bonds have not been redeemed. ALL BONDS OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully registered Bonds, without interest coupons, in the principal denomination in the case of the Bonds, of any integral multiple of $5,000. As provided in the Bond Order, this Bond may, at the request of the Registered Owner or the assignee or assignees hereof, be assigned, transferred, converted into and exchanged for a like aggregate amount of fully registered Bonds, without interest coupons, payable to the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, having any authorized denomination or denominations as requested in writing by the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, upon surrender of this Bond to the Registrar for cancellation, all in accordance with the form and procedures set forth in the Bond Order. Among other requirements for such assignment and transfer, this Bond must be presented and surrendered to the Registrar, together with proper instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Registrar, evidencing assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof in any authorized denomination to the assignee or assignees in whose name or names this Bond or any such portion or portions hereof is or are to be registered. The Form of Assignment printed or endorsed on this Bond may be executed by the Registered Owner to evidence the assignment hereof, but such method is not exclusive, and other instruments of assignment satisfactory to the Registrar may be used to evidence the assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof from time to time by the Registered Owner. The Registrar's reasonable standard or customary fees and charges for assigning, transferring, converting and exchanging any Bond or portion thereof will be paid by the District. In any circumstance, any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto shall be paid by the one requesting such assignment, transfer, conversion or exchange, as a condition precedent to the exercise of such privilege. The Registrar shall not be required to make any such transfer, conversion or exchange of any Bond or any portion thereof (i) during the period commencing with the close of business on any Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the next following principal or Interest Payment Date or (ii) within 45 calendar days prior to its redemption date; provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Registered Owner of the unredeemed balance hereof in the event of its redemption in part. WHENEVER the beneficial ownership of this Bond is determined by a book entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, the foregoing requirements of holding, delivering or transferring this Bond shall be modified to require the appropriate person or entity to meet the requirements of the securities depository as to registering or transferring the book entry to produce the same effect. IN THE EVENT any Registrar for the Bonds is changed by the District, resigns, or otherwise ceases to act as such, the District has covenanted in the Bond Order that it promptly will appoint a competent and legally qualified substitute therefor, and cause written notice thereof to be mailed to the Registered Owners of the Bonds. C-4 THE BONDS are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax, without legal limit as to rate or amount, levied upon all taxable property within the District. The Bond Order provides that the District reserves the right to consolidate with one or more conservation and reclamation districts, to consolidate its waterworks and sewer systems with the systems of such districts, and to secure the Bonds and any other bonds of the District or such districts by a pledge of taxes of the consolidated system. The Bond Order further provides that the pledge of taxes, to the payment of the Bonds shall terminate at such time, if ever, as (i) money and/or defeasance obligations in an amount sufficient to defease the Bonds is deposited with or made available to the Registrar in accordance with the Bond Order or (ii) a city dissolves the District, and assumes the obligations of the District pursuant to existing Texas law. THE BONDS are issued pursuant to the Bond Order, whereunder the District covenants to levy a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax, without legal limit as to rate or amount, on taxable property within the District, for each year while any part of the Bonds are considered outstanding under the provisions of the Bond Order, in sufficient amount, together with revenues and receipts available from other sources which are equally available for such purposes, to pay interest on the Bonds as it becomes due, to provide a sinking fund for the payment of the principal of the Bonds when due or the redemption price at any earlier required redemption date with respect to the Bonds, and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such tax, all as more specifically provided in the Bond Order. Reference is hereby made to the Bond Order for provisions with respect to the operation and maintenance of the District's facilities, the custody and application of funds, remedies in the event of a default hereunder or thereunder, and the other rights of the Registered Owners of the Bonds. By acceptance of this Bond the Registered Owner hereof consents to all of the provisions of the Bond Order, a certified copy of which is on file in the office of the District. THE OBLIGATION to pay the principal of and the interest on this Bond is solely and exclusively the obligation of the District until such time, if ever, as the District is abolished and this Bond is assumed as described above. No other entity, including the State of Texas, any political subdivision thereof other than the District, or any other public or private body, is obligated, directly, indirectly, contingently, or in any other manner, to pay the principal of or the interest on this Bond from any source whatsoever. No part of the physical properties of the District, including the properties provided by the proceeds of the Bonds, is encumbered by any lien for the benefit of the Registered Owner of this Bond. THE DISTRICT RESERVES THE RIGHT to issue additional bonds heretofore or hereafter duly authorized at elections held in the District payable from a lien on and pledge of taxes; bonds, notes and other obligations of inferior liens, and revenue bonds, notes and other obligations payable solely from revenues of the District or revenues to be received under contracts with other persons, including private corporations, municipalities and political subdivisions or from any other source. The District further reserves the right to issue refunding bonds in any manner permitted by law to refund any bonds (including the Bonds) at or prior to their respective dates of maturity or redemption. TO THE EXTENT permitted by and in the manner provided in the Bond Order, the terms and provisions of the Bond Order and the rights of the Registered Owners of the Bonds may be C-5 modified with, in certain circumstances, the consent of the Registered Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds affected thereby; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Registered Owners of all of the Bonds affected, no such modification shall (i) extend the time or times of payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, (ii) give any preference to any Bond over any other Bond, or (iii) reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds required for consent to any such modification. THIS BOND shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any benefit under the Bond Order unless this Bond either (a) is registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas as evidenced by execution of the registration certificate endorsed hereon or (b) is authenticated as evidenced by execution of the authentication certificate endorsed hereon by the Registrar. IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, COVENANTED, AND REPRESENTED that all acts, conditions, and things necessary to be done precedent to the issuance of the Bonds in order to render the same legal, valid, and binding obligations of the District have happened and have been accomplished and performed in regular and due time, form, and manner, as required by law; that provision has been made for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds by the levy of a continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax upon all taxable property within the District and that issuance of the Bonds does not exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation. In the event that any provisions herein contained do or would, presently or prospectively, operate to make any part hereof void or voidable, such provisions shall be without effect or prejudice to the remaining provisions hereof, which shall nevertheless remain operative, and such violative provisions, if any, shall be reformed by a court of competent jurisdiction within the limits of the laws of the State of Texas. IT IS FURTHER CERTIFIED that the District has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax- exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

IF THE DATE for any payment due on this Bond shall be a Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which'the Paying Agent/Registrar is authorized by law or executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not such a Saturday, Sunday, or day on which the Paying Agent/Registrar is authorized by law or executive order to remain closed; and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the original date payment was due. THIS BOND is one of a series of Bonds dated as of March 1, 2012 and authorized to be issued pursuant to the Bond Order adopted by the Board of Directors of the District in the principal amount of $2,355,000 FOR PURPOSES OF REFUNDING THE REFUNDED BONDS AND PAYING CERTAIN COSTS OF ISSUING THE BONDS. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given in the Bond Order. ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 OR ON ANY DATE THEREAFTER, the Bonds maturing on and after September 1, 2021, may be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, at the option of the District, with funds derived from any available and lawful source, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption as a whole, or from time to time in part, and, if in part, the particular Bonds, or portions thereof, to be redeemed shall be selected and designated by the District, and if less than all of a maturity is to be redeemed the Registrar shall determine by lot the Bonds, or portions thereof within such maturity to be redeemed (provided that a portion of a Bond may be redeemed only in integral multiples of $5,000 of principal amount). AT LEAST 30 calendar days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of Bonds or portions thereof prior to maturity a written notice of such redemption shall be sent by the Registrar by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the Registered Owner of each Bond to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the Register on the 45th calendar day prior to such redemption date and to major securities depositories and bond information services. By the date fixed for any such redemption due provision shall be made with the Registrar for the payment of the required redemption price for the Bonds brportions for which such payment is made, all as provided above. The Bonds or portions thereof which 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 for redemption, and they shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the Registered Owner to receive the redemption price from the Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. If a portion of any Bond shall be redeemed, a substitute Bond or Bonds having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate, in any authorized denomination or,, denominations, 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 District, all as provided in the Bond Order. WITH RESPECT TO any optional redemption of the Bonds, unless certain prerequisites^ such redemption required by the Bond Order have been met and moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to be redeemed shall have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice shall state that said redemption may, at the option of the District, be conditional updntthe 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 *sueh 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 District shall not redeem such Bonds and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that the Bonds have not been redeemed. ALL BONDS OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully registered Bonds, without interest coupons, in the principal denomination in the case of the Bonds, of any integral multiple of $5,000. As provided in the Bond Order, this Bond may, at the request of the Registered Owner or the assignee or assignees hereof, be assigned, transferred, converted into and exchanged for a like aggregate amount of fully registered Bonds, without interest coupons, payable to the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, having any authorized denomination or denominations as requested in writing by the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, upon surrender of this Bond to the Registrar for cancellation, all in accordance with the form and procedures set forth in the Bond Order. Among other requirements for such assignment and transfer, this Bond must be presented and surrendered to the Registrar, together with proper instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Registrar, evidencing assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof in any authorized denomination to the^assignee or assignees in whose name or names this Bond or any such portion or portions hereof is or are to be registered. The Form of Assignment printed or endorsed on this Bond may be executed by the Registered Owner to evidence the assignment hereof, but such method is not exclusive, and other instruments of assignment satisfactory to the Registrar may be used to evidence the assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof from time to time by the Registered Owner. The Registrar's reasonable standard or customary fees and charges for assigning, transferring, converting and exchanging any Bond or portion thereof will be paid by the District. In any circumstance, any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto shall be paid by the one requesting such assignment, transfer, conversion or exchange, as a condition precedent to the exercise of such privilege. The Registrar shall not be required to make any such transfer, conversion or exchange of any Bond or an\ portion thereof (i) during the period commencing with the close of business on any Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the next following principal or Interest Payment Date or (ii) within 45 calendar days prior to its redemption date; provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Registered Owner of the unredeemed balance hereof in the event of its redemption in part. WHENEVER the beneficial ownership of this Bond is determined by a book entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, the foregoing requirements of holding, delivering or transferring this Bond shall be modified to require the appropriate person or entity to meet the requirements of the securities depository as to registering or transferring the book entry to produce the same effect. IN THE EVENT any Registrar for the Bonds is changed by the District, resigns, or otherwise ceases to act as such, the District has covenanted in the Bond Order that it promptly will appoint a competent and legally qualified substitute therefor, and cause written notice thereof to be mailed to the Registered Owners of the Bonds. THE BONDS are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax, without legal limit as to rate or amount, levied upon all taxable property within the District. The Bond Order provides that the District reserves the right to consolidate with one or more conservation and reclamation districts, to consolidate its waterworks and sewer systems with the systems of such districts, and to secure the Bonds and any other bonds of the District or such districts by a pledge of taxes of the consolidated system. The Bond Order further provides that the pledge of taxes, to the payment of the Bonds shall terminate at such time, if ever, as (i) money and/or defeasance obligations in an amount sufficient to defease the Bonds is deposited with or made available to the Registrar in accordance with the Bond Order or (ii) a city dissolves the District, and assumes the obligations of the District pursuant to existing Texas law. THE BONDS are issued pursuant to the Bond Order, whereunder the District covenants to levy a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax, without legal limit as to rate or amount, on taxable property within the District, for each year while any part of the Bonds are considered outstanding under the provisions of the Bond Order, in sufficient amount, together with revenues and receipts available from other sources which are equally available for such purposes, to pay interest on the Bonds as it becomes due, to provide a sinking fund for the payment of the principal of the Bonds when due or the redemption price at any earlier required redemption date with respect to the Bonds, and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such tax, all as more specifically provided in the Bond Order. Reference is hereby made to the Bond Order for provisions with respect to the operation and maintenance of the District's facilities, the custody and application of funds, remedies in the event of a default hereunder or thereunder, and the other rights of the Registered Owners of the Bonds. By acceptance of this Bond the Registered Owner hereof consents to all of the provisions of the Bond Order, a certified copy of which is on file in the office of the District. THE OBLIGATION to pay the principal of and the interest on this Bond is solely and exclusively the obligation of the District until such lime, if ever, as the District is abolished and this Bond is assumed as described above. No other entity, including the State of Texas, any political subdivision thereof other than the District, or any other public or private body, is obligated, directly, indirectly, contingently, or in any other manner, to pay the principal of or the interest on this Bond from any source whatsoever. No part of the physical properties of the District, including the properties provided by the proceeds of the Bonds, is encumbered by any lien for the benefit of the Registered Owner of this Bond. THE DISTRICT RESERVES THE RIGHT to issue additional bonds heretofore or hereafter duly authorized at elections held in the District payable from a lien on and pledge of taxes; bonds, notes and other obligations of inferior liens, and revenue bonds, notes and other obligations payable solely from revenues of the District or revenues to be received under contracts with other persons, including private corporations, municipalities and political subdivisions or from any other source. The District further reserves the right to issue refunding bonds in any manner permitted by law to refund any bonds (including the Bonds) at or prior to their respective dates of maturity or redemption. TO THE EXTENT permitted by and in the manner provided in the Bond Order, the terms and provisions of the Bond Order and the rights of the Registered Owners of the Bonds may be modified with, in certain circumstances, the consent of the Registered Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds affected thereby; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Registered Owners of all of the Bonds affected, no such modification shall (i) extend the time or times of payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, (ii) give any preference to any Bond over any other Bond, or (iii) reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds required for consent to any such modification. THIS BOND shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any benefit under the Bond Order unless this Bond either (a) is registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas as evidenced by execution of the registration certificate endorsed hereon or (b) is authenticated as evidenced by execution of the authentication certificate endorsed hereon by the Registrar. IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, COVENANTED, AND REPRESENTED that all acts, conditions, and things necessary to be done precedent to the issuance of the Bonds in order to render the same legal, valid, and binding obligations of the District hmt happened and have been accomplished and performed in regular and due time, form, and manner, assiKequired by law; that provision has been made for the payment of the principal of and interesfr'on the Bonds by the levy of a continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax upon all taxableaprop^erty within the District and that issuance of the Bonds does not exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation. In the event that any provisions herein contained do or would, presently or prospectively, operate to make any part hereof void or voidable, such provisions shall be without effect or prejudice to the remaining provisions hereof, which shall nevertheless remain operative, and such violative provisions, if any, shall be reformed by a court of competent jurisdiction within the limits of the laws of the State of Texas. IT IS FURTHER CERTIFIED that the District has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within thesmeaning of Section ^65(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

The Bank may act on facsimile or e-mail transmission of the closing memorandum acknowledged by the Financial Advisor or the Issuer as the final closing memorandum. The Bank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Bank's reliance upon and compliance with such instructions. Section 5.02. Reliance on Documents, Etc. (a) The Bank may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and correctness of the opinions expressed therein, on certificates or opinions furnished to the Bank by the Issuer. (b) The Bank shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proven that the Bank was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. (c) No provisions of this Agreement shall require the Bank to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability for performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against such risks or liability is not assured to it. (d) The Bank may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any Order, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note, security, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing statement, the Bank need not examine the ownership of any Securities, but is protected in acting upon receipt of Securities certificates containing an endorsement or instruction of transfer or power of transfer which appears on its face to be signed by the Holder or an agent of the Holder. The Bank shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in a Order, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note, security, or other paper or document supplied by the Issuer. (e) The Bank may consult with legal counsel, and the written advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to 7 any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon, provided that any such written advice or opinion is supplied to the Issuer by the Bank. (f) The Bank may exercise any of the powers hereunder and perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys of the Bank. Section 5.03. Recitals of Issuer. The recitals contained herein with respect to the Issuer and in the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Bank assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

May Hold Securities. The Bank, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Paying Agent/Registrar, or any other agent. Section 5.05. Moneys Held by Bank. The Bank shall deposit any moneys received from the Issuer into a segregated account to be held by the Bank solely for the benefit of the owners of the Securities to be used solely for the payment of the Securities, with such moneys in the account that exceed the deposit insurance available to the Issuer by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, to be fully collateralized with securities or obligations that are eligible under the laws of the State of Texas to secure and be pledged as collateral for such accounts until the principal and interest on such securities have been presented for payment and paid to the owner thereof. Payments made from such account shall be made by check drawn on such account unless the owner of such Securities shall, at its own expense and risk, request such other medium of payment. Subject to the Unclaimed Property Law of the State of Texas, any money deposited with the Bank for the payment of the principal, premium (if any), or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for three years after the final maturity of the Security has become due and payable will be paid by the Bank to the Issuer if the Issuer so elects, and the Holder of such Security shall hereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Bank with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease. If the Issuer does not elect, the Bank is directed to report and dispose of the funds in compliance with Title Six of the Texas Property Code, as amended. Section 5.06. Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, the Issuer agrees to indemnify the Bank for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the 8 Bank's part, arising out of or in connection with the Bank's acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, including the cost and expense incurred by the Bank in defending against any claim or from liability imposed on the Bank in connection with the Bank's exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement.

The Issuer and the Bank agree that the Bank may seek adjudication of any adverse claim, demand, or controversy over its person as well as funds on deposit, in either a Federal or State District Court located in the Denton or Tarrant County, Texas, and agree that service of process by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the address referred to in Section 6.03 of this Agreement shall constitute adequate service. The Issuer and the Bank further agree that the Bank has the right to file a Bill of Interpleader in any court of competent jurisdiction in Denton or Tarrant County, Texas to determine the rights of any Person claiming any interest herein. Section 5.08. Depository Trust Company Services. It is hereby represented and warranted that, in the event the Securities are otherwise qualified and accepted for "Depository Trust Company" services or equivalent depository trust services by other organizations, the Bank has the capability and, to the extent within its control, will comply with the "Operational Arrangements," effective August 1, 1987, which establishes requirements for securities to be eligible for such type depository trust services, including, but not limited to, requirements for the timeliness of payments and funds availability, transfer turnaround time, and notification of redemptions and calls.

The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the terms and provisions of an order (the "Bond Order") of the Board of Directors of the District (the "Board") and in accordance with the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas (the "State"), including particularly Chapter 1207, Texas Government Code, as amended ("Chapter 1207"). In the Bond Order, the District delegated pricing of the Bonds and certain other matters to a "Pricing Officer" who will approve a "Pricing Certificate" which will contain the final terms of sale and will complete the sale of the Bonds (the Bond Order and the Pricing Certificate are jointly referred to herein as the "Order"). (See "THE BONDS - Security for Payment" herein.) Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this Preliminary Official Statement have the same meaning assigned to such terms in the Order. Included in this Preliminary Official Statement are descriptions of the Bonds, the Order, and certain information about the District and its finances. ALL DESCRIPTIONS OF DOCUMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE SUMMARIES ONLY AND ARE QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO EACH SUCH DOCUMENT. Copies of such documents may be obtained from the District or Financial Advisor. PLAN OF FINANCING Purpose Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds are being used to (i) refund for debt service savings the District's outstanding Unlimited Tax Bonds, Series 2002 (the "Refunded Bonds") (see "Schedule I - Schedule Of Refunded Bonds" attached hereto) and (ii) to pay the costs related to the issuance of the Bonds. Refunded Bonds A description and identification of the Refunded Bonds appears in Schedule I attached hereto. The Refunded Bonds, and interest due thereon, are to be paid on September 1, 2012* (the "Redemption Date"), from funds to be deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas (the "Escrow Agent") or its successor. The Order approves and authorizes the execution of an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") between the District and the Escrow Agent. The Order provides that, from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds received from the Underwriter, the District will deposit the amount necessary, together with other available funds, if any, to accomplish the discharge and final payment of the Refunded Bonds on the Redemption Date. Such funds will be held uninvested by the Escrow Agent pending their disbursement to redeem the Refunded Bonds on the Redemption Date. The Escrow Agent, as the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds, will determine and certify at the time of delivery of the Bonds that the amounts deposited to the Escrow Fund will equal an amount sufficient to pay, on the scheduled redemption date, the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds. Under the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Fund is irrevocably pledged to the payment of principal of and interest on the Refunded Obligations and amounts therein will not be available to pay the Bonds. By deposit of the funds with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the District will have effected the defeasance of all of the Refunded Bonds in accordance with Texas law. As a result of such defeasance, the Refunded Bonds will be outstanding only for the purpose of receiving payments from the funds held for such purpose by the Escrow Agent and such Refunded Bonds will not be deemed as being outstanding obligations of the District payable from taxes nor for the purpose of applying any limitation on the issuance of debt, and the obligation of the District to make payments in support of the debt service on the Refunded Bonds will be extinguished. * Preliminary, subject to change. 1 SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be applied approximately as follows: Sources of Funds Par Amount of Bonds Accrued Interest on the CIBs Original Issue Premium Total Sources of Funds Uses of Funds Deposit to Escrow Fund Cost of Issuance (Including Bond Insurance, if applicable) Underwriter's Discount Accrued Interest Deposit to Interest & Sinking Fund Additional Proceeds Deposit to the Debt Service Fund Total Uses of Funds THE BONDS General Description The Bonds are being issued in part as Current Interest Bonds ("CIBs") and in part as Premium Capital Appreciation Bonds ("CABs"). The CIBs will be issued in fully registered form in principal denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof within a stated maturity, and the CABs will be issued as fully registered certificates in denominations of $5,000 representing the total amount of principal, plus the initial premium, if any, therefor and accrued interest payable upon maturity (the "Maturity Amount"), or any integral multiple thereof for a Maturity Amount. The CIBs shall bear interest from the March 1, 2012 on the unpaid principal amounts, and the amount of interest to be paid each payment period shall be computed on the basis of a 360- day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the CIBs will be payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year commencing September 1, 2012, until maturity or prior redemption. Interest on the CABs will accrete from the date they are initially delivered to the Underwriter and such interest will compound on March 1 and September 1 of each year (each an "Accretion Date") commencing September 1, 2012, and be payable only upon maturity, as described in the Order, and will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Principal of the CIBs and Maturity Amounts of the CABs is payable at the designated offices of the Paying Agent/Registrar, initially The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas; provided, however, that so long as Cede & Co. (or other DTC nominee) is the registered owner of the Bonds, all payments will be made as described under "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein. Interest on the CIBs shall be paid to the registered owners whose names appear on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the Record Date (as hereinafter defined) and shall be paid by the Paying Agent/Registrar (i) by check sent United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address of the registered owner recorded in the Security Register or (ii) by such other method, acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar, requested by, and at the risk and expense of, the registered owner. If the date for any payment on the Bonds shall be a Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday or a day when banking institutions in the city where the designated payment/transfer office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized to be closed, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not such a day, and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the date payment was due. Yield on Premium Capital Appreciation Bonds The approximate yields of the CABs as set forth on page ii of this Official Statement are the approximate yields based upon the initial offering prices therefor set forth on page ii of this Official Statement. Such offering price includes the principal amount of such CABs plus premium, if any, equal to the amount by which such offering price exceeds the principal amount of such CABs. The yield on the CABs to a particular purchaser may differ depending upon the price paid by that purchaser. For various reasons, securities that do not pay interest periodically, such as the CABs, have traditionally experienced greater price fluctuations in the secondary market than securities that pay interest on a periodic basis. Authority for Issuance The Bonds are issued by the District pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Order and the Constitution and general laws of the State, particularly Chapter 1207. Security for Payment The Bonds will constitute valid and legally binding direct obligations of the District payable from the proceeds of a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax levied by the District against all taxable property located therein, without legal limit as to rate or amount. The Order irrevocably pledges such ad valorem taxes to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds while the same remain outstanding. Neither the State of Texas, Denton or Tarrant Counties, Texas nor any political subdivision 2 or municipality, other than the District shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Texas or Denton or Tarrant Counties, Texas or any political subdivision or municipality thereof, other than the District, is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on or the redemption price of the Bonds. Tax Pledge: The Board covenants in the Order that, while any of the Bonds are outstanding and the District is in existence, it will levy and assess a continuing ad valorem tax upon each $100 valuation of taxable property within the District at a rate from year to year sufficient, full allowance being made for anticipated delinquencies, together with revenues and receipts from other sources which are legally available for such purposes, to pay interest on the Bonds as it becomes due, to provide for the payment of principal of the Bonds when due or the redemption price at any earlier redemption date, to pay when due any other contractual obligations of the District payable in whole or in part from taxes, and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such tax. The Board additionally covenants in the Order to timely assess and collect such tax. The net proceeds from taxes levied to pay debt service on the Bonds are required to be placed in a special account of the District designated as the "Debt Service Fund" for the Bonds. Abolition: Under Texas law, If a district is located wholly in two or more municipalities and in an unincorporated area, the district may be abolished by agreement among the district and all of the municipalities in which parts of the district are located. The abolition agreement must provide for the distribution of assets and liabilities (including the Bonds) of the abolished district. The agreement must also provide for the distribution among one or more of the municipalities the pro rata assets and liabilities located in the unincorporated area and must provide for service to customers in unincorporated areas in the service area of the abolished district. The municipality that provides the service in the unincorporated area may charge its usual and customary fees and assessments to the customers in that area. No representation is made concerning the likelihood of abolition or the ability of the municipalities which contain parts of the District to make debt service payments on the Bonds should abolition occur. Consolidation: A district (such as the District) has the legal authority to consolidate with other municipal utility districts and in connection therewith, to provide for the consolidation of its assets, such as cash and the utility system, with the water and wastewater systems of districts with which it is consolidating as well as its liabilities (which would include the Bonds). The District is the resulting entity from a consolidation in May 2009 of Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 (see "THE DISTRICT"). Payment Record The District has never defaulted on the timely payment of principal of and interest on its general obligation indebtedness. Flow of Funds and Investment of Funds The Bond Order creates a Debt Service Fund. The Debt Service Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the District. Any cash balance in the Debt Service Fund must be continuously secured, to the extent that the United States or an instrumentality of the United States does not insure the cash balance, by a valid pledge to the District of securities eligible under the laws of Texas to secure the funds of municipal utility districts having an aggregate market value, exclusive of accrued interest, at all times equal to the cash balance in the fund to which such securities are pledged. The Bond Order establishes the Debt Service Fund to be used to pay principal and interest on the Bonds. The Bond Order requires that the District deposit to the credit of the Debt Service Fund (i) from the delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser, the amount received from proceeds of the Bonds representing accrued interest, (ii) District ad valorem taxes (and penalties and interest thereon) levied to pay debt service requirements on the Bonds, and (iii) such other funds as the Board shall, at its option, deem advisable. The Bond Order requires that the Debt Service Fund be applied solely to provide for the payment of the principal or redemption price of and interest on the Bonds when due, and to pay fees to the Paying Agent when due. Redemption Provisions Optional Redemption: The District reserves the right, at its option, to redeem the CIBs maturing on and after September 1, 2021 on September 1, 2020, or any date thereafter, in whole or in part, in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (and, if within a stated maturity, selected at random and by lot by the Paying Agent/Registrar), at the redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to a redemption date for the CIBs, the District shall cause a notice of such redemption to be sent by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the registered owners of each CIB or a portion thereof to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice. With respect to any optional redemption of the CIBs, unless certain prerequisites to such redemption required by the Order have been met and money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the CIBs to be redeemed will have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice will state that said redemption may, at the option of the District, 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 3 redemption or upon any prerequisite set forth in such notice of redemption. If a conditional notice of redemption is given and such prerequisites to the redemption are not fulfilled, such notice will be of no force and effect, the District will not redeem such CIBs, and the Paying Agent/Registrar will give notice in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that such CIBs have not been redeemed. ANY NOTICE OF REDEMPTION SO MAILED TO THE REGISTERED OWNERS WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN DULY GIVEN IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER RECEIVED BY ANY HOLDER OF THE CIBS, AND, SUBJECT TO PROVISION FOR PAYMENT OF THE REDEMPTION PRICE HAVING BEEN MADE, AND ANY PRECONDITIONS STATED IN THE NOTICE OF REDEMPTION HAVING BEEN SATISFIED INTEREST ON THE REDEEMED CIBS SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE FROM AND AFTER SUCH REDEMPTION DATE NOTWITHSTANDING THAT A CIB HAS NOT BEEN PRESENTED FOR PAYMENT. 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 CIBs or portions thereof which are to be so redeemed. If such notice of redemption is given and if due provision for such payment is made, all as provided above, the CIBs or portion thereof which are to be redeemed thereby automatically shall be treated as redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, and they shall not bear interest after the date fixed for redemption, and they shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the registered owner to receive the redemption price from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. The Paying Agent/Registrar and the Issuer, so long as a Book-Entry-Only System is used for the Bonds, will send any notice of redemption, notice of proposed amendment to the Bonds or other notices with respect to the Bonds only to DTC. Any failure by DTC to advise any DTC participant, or of any DTC participant or indirect participant to notify the Beneficial Owner, will not affect the validity of the redemption of the CIBs called for redemption or any other action premised on any such notice. Redemption of portions of the CIBs by the Issuer will reduce the outstanding principal amount of such CIBs held by DTC. In such event, DTC may implement, through its Book-Entry-Only System, a redemption of such CIBs held for the account of DTC participants in accordance with its rules or other agreements with DTC participants and then DTC participants and indirect participants may implement a redemption of such CIBs from the Beneficial Owners. Any such selection of CIBs to be redeemed will not be governed by the Order and will not be conducted by the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent/Registrar will have any responsibility to DTC participants, indirect participants or the persons for whom DTC participants act as nominees, with respect to the payments on the Bonds or the providing of notice to DTC participants, indirect participants, or Beneficial Owners of the selection of portions of the Bonds for redemption. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.) Termination of Book-Entry-Only System The District is initially utilizing the book-entry-only system of the DTC. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.) In the event that the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued by DTC or the District, the following provisions will be applicable to the Bonds. Payment: Principal of the CIBs will be payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption and the Maturity Amount of the CABs will be payable at maturity to the registered owners as shown by the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds to the Paying Agent at the designated office for payment of the Paying Agent/Registrar in Dallas, Texas (the "Designated Payment/Transfer Office"). Interest on the CIBs will be payable by check or draft, dated as of the applicable interest payment date, sent by the Paying Agent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the registered owners at their respective addresses shown on such records, or by such other method acceptable to the Paying Agent requested by registered owner at the risk and expense of the registered owner. If the date for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds shall be a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day on which banking institutions in the city where the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent is located are required or authorized by law or executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day on which banking institutions are required or authorized to close, and payment on such date shall for all purposes be deemed to have been made on the original date payment was due. Initially, the only registered owner of the Bonds will be CEDE & CO. as nominee of DTC. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.) Registration: The Bonds may be transferred and re-registered on the registration books of the Paying Agent only upon presentation and surrender thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office. A Bond also may be exchanged for a Bond or Bonds of like maturity and interest and having a like aggregate principal amount or Maturity Amount, as the case may be, upon presentation and surrender at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office. All Bonds surrendered for transfer or exchange must be endorsed for assignment by the execution by the registered owner or his duly authorized agent of an assignment form on the Bonds or other instruction of transfer acceptable to the Paying Agent. Transfer and exchange of Bonds will be without expense or service charge to the registered owner, except for any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. A new Bond or Bonds, in lieu of the Bond being transferred or exchanged, will be delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the registered owner, at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar or by United States mail, first-class, postage prepaid. To the extent possible, new Bonds issued in an exchange or transfer of Bonds will be delivered to the registered owner not more than three (3) business days after the receipt of the Bonds to be canceled in the exchange or transfer and the denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein for a description of the system to be initially utilized in regard to ownership and transferability of the Bonds.) Limitations on Transfer of Bonds: Neither the District nor the Paying Agent shall be required to make any transfer, conversion or exchange to an assignee of the registered owner of the CIBs (i) during the period commencing on the close of business on the 15th calendar day of the month preceding each interest payment date (the "Record Date") and ending with the opening of business on the 4 next following principal or interest payment date or (ii) with respect to any CIB called for redemption, in whole or in part, within forty- five (45) days of the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, such limitation of transfer shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled balance of a CIB. Replacement Bonds: If a Bond is mutilated, the Paying Agent will provide a replacement Bond in exchange for the mutilated bond. If a Bond is destroyed, lost or stolen, the Paying Agent will provide a replacement Bond upon (i) the filing by the registered owner with the Paying Agent of evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent of the destruction, loss or theft of the Bond and the authenticity of he registered owner's ownership and (ii) the furnishing to the Paying Agent of indemnification in an amount satisfactory to hold the District and the Paying Agent harmless. All expenses and charges associated with such indemnity and with the preparation, execution and delivery of a replacement Bond must be borne by the registered owner. The provisions of the Order relating to the replacement Bonds are exclusive and the extent lawful, preclude all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds. Defeasance of Outstanding Bonds The Order provides for the defeasance of the Bonds when payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on Bonds, plus interest thereon to the due date thereof (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, redemption, or otherwise), is provided by irrevocably depositing with a paying agent, in trust (1) money sufficient to make such payment or (2) Defeasance Securities, certified by an independent public accounting firm of national reputation to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times to insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to make such payment, and all necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of the paying agent for the respective series of Bonds. The Order provides that "Defeasance Securities" means (1) direct, noncallable obligations of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, (2) noncallable obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent, (3) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent and (4) any other then authorized securities or obligations under applicable Texas state law that may be used to defease obligation such as the Bonds. There is no assurance that the current law will not be changed in a manner which would permit investments other than those described above to be made with amounts deposited to defease the Bonds. Because the Order does not contractually limit such investments, registered owners will be deemed to have consented to defeasance with such other investments, notwithstanding the fact that such investments may not be of the same investment quality as those currently permitted under State law. There is no assurance that any particular rating for U.S. Treasury securities used as Government Securities or the rating for any other Government Security will be maintained at any particular rating category. The District has additionally reserved the right, subject to satisfying the requirements of (1) and (2) above, to substitute other Defeasance Securities for the Defeasance Securities originally deposited, to reinvest the uninvested moneys on deposit for such defeasance and to withdraw for the benefit of the District moneys in excess of the amount required for such defeasance. Upon such deposit as described above, such Bonds shall no longer be regarded to be outstanding or unpaid. After firm banking and financial arrangements for the discharge and final payment or redemption of the Bonds have been made as described above, all rights of the District to initiate proceedings to call the CIBs for redemption or take any other action amending the terms of the Bonds are extinguished; provided, however, that the right to call the CIBs for redemption is not extinguished if the District: (i) in the proceedings providing for the firm banking and financial arrangements, expressly reserves the right to call the CIBs for redemption; (ii) gives notice of the reservation of that right to the owners of the CIBs immediately following the making of the firm banking and financial arrangements; and (iii) directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorize. Paying Agent/Registrar Principal of and semiannual interest on the CIBs and the Maturity Amount of the CABs will be paid by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas, the initial Paying Agent/Registrar (the "Paying Agent"). The Paying Agent must be a bank, trust company, financial institution or other entity duly qualified and equally authorized to serve and perform the duties as paying agent and registrar for the Bonds. Provision is made in the Order for the District to replace the Paying Agent by a resolution of the District giving notice to the Paying Agent of the termination of the appointment, stating the effective date of the termination and appointing a successor Paying Agent. If the Paying Agent is replaced by the District, the new Paying Agent shall be required to accept the previous Paying Agent's records and act in the same capacity as the previous Paying Agent. Any successor paying agent/registrar selected by the District shall be subject to the same qualification requirements as the Paying Agent. The successor paying agent/registrar, if any, shall be determined by the Board of Directors and written notice thereof, specifying the name and address of such successor paying agent/registrar will be sent by the District or the successor paying agent/registrar to each Registered Owner by first-class mail, postage prepaid. Record Date The record date for payment of the interest on Bonds on any regularly scheduled interest payment date is defined as the fifteenth day of the month preceding such interest payment date. 5 Issuance of Additional Debt The District may issue bonds necessary to construct waterworks and sewer system improvements and facilities for which the District was created and to provide fire protection to the District, with the approval of the District's voters. Following the issuance of the Bonds, $5,769,217 unlimited tax bonds authorized by the District's voters will remain unissued. The District has no plans to issue additional general obligation debt within the next twelve months. In addition, voters may authorize the issuance of additional bonds or other contractual obligations secured by ad valorem taxes. Neither Texas law nor the Order imposes a limitation on the amount of additional debt which may be issued by the District. Any additional debt issued by the District may dilute the security of the Bonds. (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS" herein.) The District may also issue bonds secured by revenues of the water and sewer system or other revenues of the District (other than ad valorem tax revenues ) without voter approval. Specific Tax Covenants In the Order the District has covenanted with respect to, among other matters, the use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the property re-financed therewith by persons other than state or local governmental units, and the manner in which the proceeds of the Bonds are to be invested. The District may cease to comply with any such covenant if it has received a written opinion of a nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under Section 103 of the Code. Additional Covenants The District has additionally covenanted in the Order that it will keep accurate records and accounts and employ an independent certified public accountant to audit and report on its financial affairs at the close of each fiscal year, such audits to be in accordance with applicable law, rules and regulations and open to inspection in the office of the District. Remedies in Event of Default The Order provides that, in addition to all other rights and remedies of any owner of Bonds provided by the laws of the State of Texas, in the event the District defaults in the observance or performance of any covenant in the Order including payment when due of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, any Bond owner may apply for a writ of mandamus from a court of competent jurisdiction requiring the Board of Directors or other officers of the District to observe or perform such covenants. The Order provides no additional remedies to a Bond owner. Specifically, the Order does not provide for an appointment of a trustee to protect and enforce the interests of the Bond owners or for the acceleration of maturity of the Bonds upon the occurrence of a default in the District's obligations. Consequently, the remedy of mandamus is a remedy, which may have to be enforced from year to year by the Bond owners (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Registered Owners' Remedies".). Under Texas law, no judgment obtained against the District may be enforced by execution of a levy against the District's public purpose property. The Bond owners themselves cannot foreclose on property within the District or sell property within the District in order to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds. In addition, the enforceability of the rights and remedies of the Bond owners may be limited by federal bankruptcy laws or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions. (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights".) The opinion of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the Order and the Bonds are qualified to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors Amendments to the Order The District may without the consent of or notice to any Bond owners amend the Order in any manner not detrimental to the interest of the Bond owners, including the curing of an ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal defect or omission therein. In addition, the District may, with the written consent of the owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding affected thereby, amend, add to, or rescind any of the provisions of the Order, except that, without the consent of the owners of all of the Bonds affected, no such amendment, addition, or rescission may (1) change the time or times of payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, change the place or places at, or the coin or currency in which, any Bond or the interest thereon is payable, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, (2) affect the right of the owners of less than all of the Bonds outstanding, or (3) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Bonds required for consent to any such amendment, addition, or rescission. In addition, a state, consistent with federal law, may in the exercise of its police powers make such modifications in the terms and conditions of contractual covenants relating to the payment of indebtedness of its political subdivisions as are reasonable and necessary for attainment of an important public purpose. RATINGS In connection with the sale of the Bonds, The District has made application to Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC business ("S&P") for a municipal bond rating on the Bonds. The District currently has an underlying rating of "AA-" from S&P. An explanation of the significance of a rating may be obtained from the company furnishing 6 the rating. The rating reflects only the respective view of such companies, and the District makes no representation as to the appropriateness of the rating. There is no assurance that such rating will continue for any given period of time or that it will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by any such rating company, if, in the judgment of such company circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. BOND INSURANCE The Issuer has made application to municipal bond insurance companies to have the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds insured by a municipal bond insurance policy. The Issuer shall notify the Underwriter upon obtaining a commitment from a municipal bond insurance company concerning this matter. The final Official Statement shall disclose, to the extent necessary, any relevant information relating to any such municipal bond insurance policy. BOND INSURANCE RISK FACTORS General If a commitment from a bond insurance company (the "Insurer") to provide a municipal bond insurance policy relating to the Bonds (the "Policy") is obtained, the final Official Statement shall disclose certain information relating to the Insurer and the Policy. The purchase of such insurance, if available, and the payment of all associated costs will be at the option and expense of the District. If the District chooses to purchase the Policy, the following risk factors related to municipal bond insurance policies generally apply. In the event of default of the scheduled payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds when all or a portion thereof becomes due, any owner of the Bonds shall have a claim under the Policy for such payments. The payment of principal and interest in connection with mandatory or optional prepayment of the Bonds by the District which is recovered by the District from the registered owner as a voidable preference under applicable bankruptcy law is covered by the Policy; however, such payments will be made by the Insurer at such time and in such amounts as would have been due absent such prepayment by the District (unless the Insurer chooses to pay such amounts at an earlier date). Payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds is not subject to acceleration, but other legal remedies upon the occurrence of non-payment do exist (see "THE BONDS - Default and Remedies"). The Insurer may reserve the right to direct the pursuit of available remedies, and, in addition, may reserve the right to consent to any remedies available to and requested by the registered owners. In the event the Insurer is unable to make payment of principal and interest as such payments become due under the Policy, the Bonds are payable solely from the ad valorem tax levied on all taxable property located within the District. In the event the Insurer becomes obligated to make payments with respect to the Bonds, no assurance is given that such event will not adversely affect the market price or the marketability (liquidity) of the Bonds. If a Policy is acquired, the long-term ratings on the Bonds will be dependent in part on the financial strength of the Insurer and its claims-paying ability. The Insurer's financial strength and claims paying ability are predicated upon a number of factors which could change over time. No assurance can be given that the long-term ratings of the Insurer and of the ratings on the Bonds, whether or not subject to a Policy, will not be subject to downgrade and such event could adversely affect the market price or the marketability (liquidity) for the Bonds. See the disclosure described in "BOND INSURANCE RISK FACTORS - Claims-Paying Ability and Financial Strength of Municipal Bond Insurers" herein. The obligations of the Insurer under a Policy are general obligations of the Insurer and in an event of default by the Insurer, the remedies available may be limited by applicable bankruptcy law. None of the District, the Financial Advisor or the Underwriter has made independent investigation into the claims-paying ability of any Insurer and no assurance or representation regarding the financial strength or projected financial strength of any Insurer is given. Claims-Paying Ability and Financial Strength of Municipal Bond Insurers Moody's Investor Services, Inc., Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC business and Fitch Ratings (the "Rating Agencies") have, over the last several years, downgraded and/or placed on negative watch the claims- paying and financial strength of most providers of municipal bond insurance. Additional downgrades or negative changes in the rating outlook for all bond insurers are possible. In addition, recent events in the credit markets have had substantial negative effects on the bond insurance business. These developments could be viewed as having a material adverse effect on the claims-paying ability of such bond insurers, including any bond insurer of the Bonds. Thus, when making an investment decision, potential investors should carefully consider the ability of the District to pay principal and interest on the Bonds and the claims-paying ability of any such bond insurer, particularly over the life of the Bonds. BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM This section describes how ownership of the Bonds is to be transferred and how the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds are to be paid to and credited by the Depository Trust Company while the Bonds are registered in its nominee's name. The information in this section concerning DTC and the Book-Entry-Only System has been provided by DTC for use in disclosure documents such as this Official Statement. The District and the Underwriter believe the source of such information to be reliable, but take no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. 7 The District and the Underwriter cannot and do not give any assurance the (1) DTC will distribute payments of debt service on the Bonds, or redemption or other notices, to DTC Participant, (2) DTC Participants or others will distribute debt service payments paid to DTC or its nominee (as the registered owner of the Bonds), or redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that they will do so on a timely basis, or (3) DTC will serve and act in the manner described in this Official Statement. The cun-ent rules applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the current procedures of DTC to be followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on file with DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount or Maturity Amount of each maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation", within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of certificated securities. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC is rated "AA-" by Standard & Poor's. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org. Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of Bonds ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive Bonds representing their ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of the notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the CIBs within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the Record Date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar, on the payable date in accordance with their 8 respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC nor its nominee, the Paying Agent/Registrar, or the Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of the Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Bonds are required to be printed and delivered to DTC Participants or the Beneficial Owners, as the case may be. The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bonds will be printed and delivered. (See "THE BONDS - Termination of Book-Entry-Only System" herein.) The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the Issuer and Underwriter believe to be reliable, but the Issuer and the Underwriter take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections of this Official Statement In reading this Official Statement it should be understood that while the Bonds are in the Book-Entry-Only System, references in other sections of this Official Statement to registered owners should be read to include the person for which the Direct or Indirect Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds, but (i) all rights of ownership must be exercised through DTC and the Book-Entry- Only System, and (ii) except as described above, notices that are to be given to registered owners under the Order will be given only to DTC. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS General The Bonds are obligations of the District and are not obligations of the Town of Trophy Club, State of Texas, Denton County, Tarrant County or any other political subdivision except the District. The Bonds are payable from a continuing, direct, annual ad valorem tax, without legal limitations as to rate or amount, on all taxable property within the District. (See "THE BONDS - Security for Payment" herein.) The investment quality of the Bonds depends both on the ability of the District to collect from the property owners all taxes levied against their property or, in the event of foreclosure, the value of the taxable property with respect to taxes levied by the District and by other taxing authorities. Approval of the Bonds The Attorney General of Texas must approve the legality of the Bonds prior to their delivery. The Attorney General of Texas does not pass upon or guarantee the quality of the Bonds as an investment, nor does he pass upon the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this Official Statement. Factors Affecting Taxable Values and Tax Payments Economic Factors and Interest Rates: A substantial percentage of the taxable value of the District results from the current market value of single-family residences and developed lots. The market value of such homes and lots is related to general economic conditions affecting the demand for and taxable value of residences. Demand for lots and residential dwellings can be significantly affected by factors such as interest rates, credit availability, construction costs, energy availability and the prosperity and demographic characteristics of the urban center toward which the marketing of lots is directed. Decreased levels of construction activity, which has been experienced in the District for the last several years, tend to restrict the growth of property values in the District or could adversely impact existing values. Interest rates and the availability of mortgage and development funding have a direct impact on the construction activity, particularly short-term interest rates at which developers and homebuilders are able to obtain financing for development and construction costs. Interest rate levels may affect the ability of a landowner with undeveloped property to undertake and complete development activities within the District. Because of the numerous and changing factors affecting the availability of funds, the District is unable to assess the future availability of such funds for continued development and construction within the District. In addition, the success of development within the District and growth of District's taxable property values are, to a great extent, a function of the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan and regional economics. Impact on District Tax Rates: Assuming no further development, the value of the land and improvements currently within the District will be the major determinant of the ability or willingness of District property owners to pay their taxes. The 2011 certified net taxable assessed valuation (ARB Approved) of the District (see page vii "SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION") is $954,645,475. After issuance of the Bonds the projected maximum annual debt service requirement will be $866,994* (2012) 9 and the projected average annual debt service requirement will be $471,485* (2012 through 2031, inclusive). Assuming no increase or decrease from the 2011 assessed valuation and no use of funds on hand, a tax rate of $0.09174* per $100 assessed valuation at a 99% collection rate would be necessary to pay the projected maximum annual debt service requirement of $866,994* and a tax rate of $0.04989* per $100 assessed valuation at a 99% collection rate would be necessary to pay the projected average annual debt service requirement of $471,485*. After a transfer of $308,000, representing Fire Department rental income, the District's 2011 debt service tax rate is $0.05586 per $100 assessed valuation. (See "APPENDIX A - TABLES 4 and 5" herein. Tax Collections and Foreclosure Remedies The District's ability to make debt service payments may be adversely affected by its inability to collect ad valorem taxes. Under Texas law, the levy of ad valorem taxes by the District constitutes a lien in favor of the District on a parity with the liens of all other state and local taxing authorities on the property against which taxes are levied, and such lien may be enforced by foreclosure. The District's ability to collect ad valorem taxes through such foreclosure may be impaired by (a) cumbersome, time-consuming and expensive collection procedures, (b) a bankruptcy court's stay of tax collection procedure against a taxpayer, or (c) market conditions limiting the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of taxable property. While the District has a lien on taxable property within the District for taxes levied against such property, such lien can be foreclosed only in a judicial proceeding. Because ownership of the land within the District is highly fragmented among a number of taxpayers, attorney's fees, and other costs of collecting any such taxpayer's delinquencies could substantially reduce the net proceeds to the District from a tax foreclosure sale. Finally, any bankruptcy court with jurisdiction over the bankruptcy proceedings initiated by or against a taxpayer within the District pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code could stay any attempt by the District to collect delinquent ad valorem taxes against such taxpayer. Consolidation A district (such as the District) has the legal authority to consolidate with other municipal utility districts and, in connection therewith, to provide for the consolidation of its assets, such as its water and wastewater systems with the assets of the district(s) with which it is consolidating, as well as its liabilities (which would include the Bonds and other outstanding obligations of the District). The District is the resulting entity from a consolidation in May 2009 of Prior MUD 1 and Prior MUD 2 (see "THE DISTRICT"). No representation is made that the District will consolidate again in the future with any other district. Abolition Under Texas law, If a district is located wholly in two or more municipalities and in an unincorporated area, the district may be abolished by agreement among the district and all of the municipalities in which parts of the district are located. The abolition agreement must provide for the distribution of assets and liabilities (including the Bonds) of the abolished district. The agreement must also provide for the distribution among one or more of the municipalities the pro rata assets and liabilities located in the unincorporated area and must provide for service to customers in unincorporated areas in the service area of the abolished district. The municipality that provides the service in the unincorporated area may charge its usual and customary fees and assessments to the customers in that area. No representation is made concerning the likelihood of abolition or the ability of the municipalities which contain parts of the District to make debt service payments on the Bonds should abolition occur. Alteration of Boundaries In certain circumstances, under Texas law the District may alter its boundaries to: 1) upon satisfying certain conditions, annex additional territory; and 2) exclude land subject to taxation within the District that is not served by District facilities if the District simultaneously annexes land of equal acreage and value that may be practicably served by District facilities. No representation is made concerning the likelihood that the District would effect any change in its boundaries. Registered Owners' Remedies If the District defaults in the payment of principal, interest or redemption price on the Bonds when due, or if it fails to make payments into any fund or funds created in the Order, or defaults in the observation or performance of any other covenants, conditions or obligations set forth in the Order, the registered owners may seek a writ of mandamus to compel District officials to carry out their legally imposed duties with respect to the Bonds if there is no other available remedy at law to compel performance of the covenants contained in the Bonds or in the Order and the District's obligations are not uncertain or disputed. The remedy of mandamus is controlled by equitable principles and rests with the discretion of the court. The issuance of a writ of mandamus is controlled by equitable principles and rests with the discretion of the court, but may not be arbitrarily refused. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Bonds in the event of default and, consequently, the remedy of mandamus may have to be relied upon from year to year. The Order does not provide for the appointment of a trustee to represent the interest of the bondholders upon any failure of the District to perform in accordance with the terms of the Order, or upon any other condition and accordingly all legal actions to enforce such remedies would have to be undertaken at the initiative of, and be financed by, the registered owners. The Texas Supreme Court has ruled in Tooke v. City of Mexia, 197 S.W.3d 325 (Tex. 2006) that a * Preliminary, subject to change 10 waiver of sovereign immunity in a contractual dispute must be provided for by statute in "clear and unambiguous" language. Therefore, bondholders may not be able to bring such a suit against the District for breach of the Bonds or Order covenants. Even if a judgment against the District could be obtained, it could not be enforced by direct levy and execution against the District's property. Further, the registered owners cannot themselves foreclose on property within the District or sell property within the District to enforce the tax lien on taxable property to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights The enforceability of the rights and remedies of Bondholders may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions such as the District. Texas law requires a municipal utility district such as the District to obtain the approval of the TCEQ as a condition to seeking relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. If a petitioning district were allowed to proceed voluntarily under Chapter 9 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, it could file a plan for an adjustment of its debts. If such a plan were confirmed by the bankruptcy court, it could, among other things, affect Registered Owners by reducing or eliminating the amount of indebtedness, deferring or rearranging the debt service schedule, reducing or eliminating the interest rate, modifying or abrogating collateral or security arrangements, substituting (in whole or in part) other securities, and otherwise compromising and modifying the rights and remedies of the Registered Owner's claim against a district. Although Chapter 9 provides for the recognition of a security interest represented by a specifically pledged source of revenues, the pledge of ad valorem taxes in support of a general obligation of a bankrupt entity is not specifically recognized as a security interest under Chapter 9 and such provision is subject to judicial construction. Chapter 9 also includes an automatic stay provision that would prohibit, without Bankruptcy Court approval, the prosecution of any other legal action by creditors or Bondholders of an entity which has sought protection under Chapter 9. Therefore, should the District avail itself of Chapter 9 protection from creditors, the ability to enforce would be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (which could require that the action be heard in Bankruptcy Court instead of other federal or state court); and the Bankruptcy Code provides for broad discretionary powers of a Bankruptcy Court in administering any proceeding brought before it. The opinion of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the Bonds are qualified with respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors. A district may not be forced into bankruptcy involuntarily. The Effect of the Financial Institutions Act of 1989 on Tax Collections of the District The "Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989" ("FIRREA"), enacted on August 9, 1989, contains certain provisions which affect the time for protesting property valuations, the fixing of tax liens, and the collection of penalties and interest on delinquent taxes on real property owned by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") when the FDIC is acting as the conservator or receiver of an insolvent financial institution. Under FIRREA real property held by the FDIC is still subject to ad valorem taxation, but such act states (i) that no real property of the FDIC shall be subject to foreclosure or sale without the consent of the FDIC and no involuntary liens shall attach to such property, (ii) the FDIC shall not be liable for any penalties or fines, including those arising from the failure to pay any real or personal property tax when due and (iii) notwithstanding failure of a person to challenge an appraisal in accordance with state law, such value shall be determined as of the period for which such tax is imposed. There has been no definitive judicial determination of the validity of the provisions of FIRREA or how they are to be construed and reconciled with respect to conflicting state laws. However, certain federal court decisions have held that the FDIC is not liable for statutory penalties and interest authorized by State property tax law, and that although a lien for taxes may exist against real property, such lien may not be foreclosed without the consent of the FDIC, and no liens for penalties, fines, interest, attorneys fees, costs of abstract and research fees exist against the real property for the failure of the FDIC or a prior property owner to pay ad valorem taxes when due. It is also not known whether the FDIC will attempt to claim the FIRREA exemptions as to the time for contesting valuations and tax assessments made prior to and after the enactment of FIRREA. Accordingly, to the extent that the FIRREA provisions are valid and applicable to any property in the District, and to the extent that the FDIC attempts to enforce the same, these provisions may affect the timeliness of collection of taxes on property, if any, owned by the FDIC in the District, and may prevent the collection of penalties and interest on such taxes. Continuing Compliance with Certain Covenants The Order contains covenants by the District intended to preserve the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. (See "THE BONDS - Specific Tax Covenants " herein.) Failure by the District to comply with such covenants on a continuous basis prior to maturity of the Bonds could result in interest on the Bonds becoming taxable retroactively to the date of original issuance. (See "TAX MATTERS " herein.) 11 Future Debt The District has reserved in the Order the right to issue the remaining $5,769,217 authorized but unissued unlimited tax bonds and such additional bonds as may hereafter be approved by both the Board of Directors and voters of the District. All of the remaining unlimited tax bonds, which have heretofore been authorized by the voters of the District may be issued by the District from time to time for qualified purposes, as determined by the Board of Directors of the District, subject to the approval of the Attorney General of the State of Texas and the TCEQ. The District has no plans to issue additional debt within the next twelve months. Future and Proposed Legislation Tax legislation, administrative actions taken by tax authorities, or court decisions, whether at the Federal or state level, may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds under Federal or state law and could affect the market price or marketability of the Bonds. Any such proposal could limit the value of certain deductions and exclusions, including the exclusion for tax-exempt interest. The likelihood of any such proposal being enacted cannot be predicted. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding the foregoing matters. THE DISTRICT Creation of the District The District was created by the consolidation of two prior municipal utility districts, being Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 ("Prior MUD 1") and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 ("Prior MUD 2° and collectively with Prior MUD 1, the "Prior MUDs"). Prior MUD 1 was created as Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 1 by order of the Texas Water Rights Commission (the "Commission") on March 4, 1975 for the purpose of providing water and sewer facilities and other authorized services to the area within the territory of Prior MUD 1. The name of Prior MUD 1 was changed to Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 on April 1, 1983. Prior MUD 2 was created as a result of the consolidation of Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 2 and Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 3, which were created by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") for the purpose of providing water, sewer and drainage facilities and other authorized services to the area. The creation of Prior MUD 2 was confirmed by its electorate at an election held on August 9, 1980. On January 26, 2009, the Boards of the Prior MUDs entered into an agreement to consolidate the Prior MUDs into a single Municipal Utility District covering the territory of the Prior MUDs, subject to the approval of the consolidation by the voters at an election held for that purpose. On May 9, 2009, the voters approved the consolidation and the District became the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1. Pursuant to the consolidation agreement, the District assumed the outstanding bonds, notes and other obligations of the Prior MUDs and the authorized but unissued bonds, taxes and other obligations of the Prior MUDs and became authorized to levy a uniform tax on all taxable property within the District. The functions performed by the District include supplying water for municipal purposes; collecting, transporting, processing and disposing of wastes; establishing, operating and maintaining a fire department; and performing other functions permitted by municipal utility districts under the Texas Water Code. Governance The District is governed by a board of directors which has control over and management supervision of all affairs of the District. There are five elected directors that serve four-year staggered terms. Directors receive no remuneration, except a Director's per diem allowance of $100 per day on which necessary service is performed for the District. The District and all similar districts are subject to the continuing supervision and filing requirements of the TCEQ, including the preparation and filing of an annual independent audit report. All District facility plans are submitted to the TCEQ for review and approval. Employees The District has no employees of its own. Rather, personnel services are furnished under an Interlocal Agreement for Employee and Contractual Services (the "Agreement") between the District and the Town pursuant to Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code. Under the Agreement, employees who report directly to the District rather than the Town are entitled to the same benefits provided to Town employees, but the District is required to pay all costs associated with the provision of benefits to such employees, including pension benefits. In addition, the District is required to pay 50% of the costs incurred by the Town for salary, benefits and other compensation of employees who provide firefighting and emergency medical services to both the District and the Town. The District's liabilities under the Agreement, including pension benefits, do not have a substantial impact on the District's finances. General The District is comprised of 2,283.5 acres [approximately 94 acres in Westlake (Solana)]. Approximately 195 acres in Trophy Club are undeveloped. Of the developed acres, there are approximately 3,172 existing households, 136 apartment units and 42 townhouses. 12 Location The District is located in southern Denton County and northern Tarrant County partially within the Town of Trophy Club (the "Town") and partially within the Town of Westlake. The District is directly adjacent to and accessible from State Highway 114, north of and approximately mid-way between Dallas and Fort Worth. The District is approximately 27 miles from downtown Dallas, 25 miles from downtown Fort Worth, 17 miles from Denton, 8 miles from Grapevine and 14 miles from the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Major highways connecting these population centers, which will also serve the District, include State Highways 114, 170 and 377 and Interstate Highways 35E and 35W. State Highway 170 connects Trophy Club directly to Alliance Airport which is located seven miles southwest of the District. (See "Vicinity Map" herein.) Population The population of the District is estimated to be approximately 7,600 and the population of the entire Town of Trophy Club, the District and the Trophy Club PID No. 1 (the "Trophy Club Development") is estimated at 8,895 (as of December 2011). Topography and Drainage The land within the District has a gradual slope from the southeast to the northwest toward Marshall Creek, which forms the western boundary of the District. Runoff water enters Grapevine Reservoir just north of the District through Marshall Creek or several other small tributaries. The maximum elevation in the area being developed is approximately 690 feet mean sea level and the minimum elevation in the area being developed is approximately 576 feet mean sea level. The soil is sandy loam and clay loam, and existing vegetation consists of native grasses and small oak trees. Areas which are subject to flooding by a 100- year frequency flood are located in the flood plan of Marshall Creek and have been delineated by the Water Resources Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey. Additional flood studies were made by the engineers to determine what areas may be subject to flooding. It was determined that the area subject to flooding within the District is approximately 58.5 acres based on 100-year flood frequency; however, 57.6 acres of this area is within the golf course area and is not intended to be developed for residential land use. Shopping and Commercial Facilities A shopping center within the District has a major grocery store chain, a bank, a major chain drug store, several service businesses, fast food outlets, and a beauty shop and a dry cleaners. Additionally there are several more businesses and professional offices located in the District, at the primary entrance to the Town of Trophy Club. There are additional shopping facilities in Roanoke, about two (2) miles west of the District and numerous shopping facilities in Southlake about five (5) miles east of the District and in Grapevine about eleven (11) miles east of the District. Full metropolitan shopping facilities are available in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas which have their central business districts approximately 27 miles and 25 miles, respectively from the District. Fire Protection The District operates its Fire Department (the "Department") with an engine, a Quint, a brush truck and two support vehicles. Currently the Department is staffed with twelve (12) full-time firefighter / paramedics, one full-time Fire chief and a part-time administrative assistant. Operations under the Department include fire suppression, fire prevention, emergency management, investigation/enforcement and emergency medical response. The new $3.1 million fire station was completed and equipped in August 2011 with proceeds from the sale of the Series 2010 Bonds, replacing the previously existing facility. This Department serves the Town of Trophy Club and area in the District that is not in the Town limits, and is currently financed by a combination of a $0.10925 maintenance tax assessment in the District, as well as a $0.10925 Public Improvement District ("PID") assessment in Trophy Club PID No. 1. The 2011-2012 annual operating budget is $1,311,934 with October 1, 2011 reserves of $287,689 (unaudited). Police Protection Twenty-four hour security is provided by the Town of Trophy Club Police Department Schools The Town is served by the Northwest Independent School District (the "School District" or "Northwest ISD"). Northwest ISD covers approximately 232 square miles in Denton, Wise and Tarrant Counties. In addition to serving the Town, the School District also serves the communities of Aurora, Fairview, Haslet, Justin, Newark, Northlake, Rhome, Roanoke and portions of Flower Mound, Fort Worth, Keller, Southlake and Westlake. Northwest ISD is comprised of 16 primary schools for grades pre- kindergarten through fifth, 4 middle schools for grades sixth through eighth, 3 high schools for grades ninth through twelfth, and 2 alternative education campuses for grades seventh through twelfth. One of the high schools, Byron Nelson High School, is located in the Town of Trophy Club. All campuses offer enriched curricula with special programs for gifted/talented students as well as students achieving below grade level, and all are equipped with computers and full cafeteria service. The School District serves a 2011-2012 estimated enrollment of 16,630 students (as of November 1, 2011). 13 Recreational Opportunities Recreational opportunities in Trophy Club are afforded by Lake Grapevine and its surrounding parks, which lie two miles north and east of the District. The Town has several community parks, including facilities for soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, tennis, a competitive swimming pool and playground amenities. The Town also operates an 877 acre Corps of Engineers park, which features 100 acres of motorized trails, as well as many passive recreational opportunities such as fishing, hiking and picnicking. Status of Development of the District The area in the District is locally known as "Trophy Club." It is a residential and mixed-use development consisting of approximately 2,283.5 acres. The District is a mature district with roughly 195 acres undeveloped, of which 135 acres are zoned residential and approximately 60 acres are available for commercial development. There is substantial land left for commercial development in the Solana complex, which is located within the City of Westlake. Lot and custom home sales officially began in the District in mid-year 1975. Homes are currently being offered at prices ranging from $200,000 to $1,000,000 and lots range in price from $35,000 to $200,000. The status of single-family home development as of January 1, 2012 is shown below: Status of Single-Family Home Development Houses Additional Total Multi-Family Under Houses Total Developed Houses Units Construction Occupied Houses Lots and Lots Completed(a) 138 3,172 3,310 72 3,382 178 (a) In addition to the single-family development, there are approximately 132 apartments and 42 completed townhouses, which are occupied. Status of Business / Commercial Development The undeveloped commercial land within the Solana business complex (approximately 230 acres) is available for commercial development, however the District is unaware of any current plans for additional development in the Solana business complex. The Town of Trophy Club and the District have commercial land available for development on approximately 52 acres of land along Highway 114. The land is zoned for uses such as a medical complex, hotels, restaurants and a short-stay hospital facility. Additionally, the District currently has a small strip center along Highway 114 containing several food establishments and professional offices. Maguire Thomas Partners ("Maguire") currently owns the Solana business complex, which is the top principal taxpayer in the District (see APPENDIX A "Table 11 - Principal Taxpayers 2011-2012"). On November 16, 2011, a State district judge in Tarrant County appointed a receiver to take control of Solana. According to court filings, the receiver will operate Solana, take all necessary actions to preserve the income and value of the property, and market the property for sale. It is expected that Solana will be posted for foreclosure in the near future. The District cannot predict the impact that such events may have on the District's financial condition. Public Improvement District Description Trophy Club PID No. 1 (the "PID") consists of approximately 609.683 acres of land generally to the north of Oakmont Drive, Oak Hill Drive and the Quorum Condominiums, east of the Lakes Subdivision and Parkview Drive, south of the Corps of Engineer's property, and west of the Town's eastern limit. The PID is located entirely within the Town limits but outside the District. A master-planned residential community (the "Property") is under construction in the PID and at build-out will be comprised of approximately 1,489 residential units located within the Property, which Property is zoned to permit such use pursuant to the PD Zoning. As of December 31, 2011, 538 homes have been completed and are occupied and an additional 170 homes have been permitted and are currently under construction. The PID is projected to build out as early as 2017 if construction continues at current levels, or as late as 2025 in the event of a decrease in the construction rate. The District provides emergency and fire protection services to the PID, and the PID pays the District an assessment for such services at the current fire tax rate of $0.10925. The District also provides water and sewer service for the PID. The total billed for PID water and sewer for fiscal year 2010-11 was $617,001.57. 14 THE DISTRICT'S SYSTEM The following information describes generally the water and wastewater systems for the District. Description of the Water System Sources of Water Supply: The present water supply is provided from two sources: (i) four ground wells which provide approximately 1,000,000 gallons per day, and (ii) a 21-inch water line which is capable of delivering 10,000,000 gallons per day of treated water from the City of Fort Worth facilities. Currently the District contracts with the City of Fort Worth for unlimited water services. Current maximum usage is approximately 6,500,000 gallons per day (of which 4,500,000 is Fort Worth water). These sources, when combined, provide water which complies with the quality requirements of the TCEQ and needs only chlorination at the District's water plant facility. loafer Plant Facility: The present facility provides 900,000 gallons elevated and 6,000,000 gallons ground storage with pumping/chlorination capacity of 10,000,000 gallons per day. Description of the Wastewater System Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility: The wastewater treatment plant system has a permitted treatment/discharge capacity of 1,750,000 gallons per day from the TCEQ under TPDES Permit No. 11593-001. Although the permit authorizes the discharge of wastewater to the adjacent tributary leading to Lake Grapevine, the plant effluent is currently pumped to various holding ponds within the community of Trophy Club and is re-used for irrigating the golf course.

The District may invest in such obligations directly or through government investment pools that invest solely in such obligations provided that the pools are rated no lower than "AAA" or "AAAm" or an equivalent by at least one nationally recognized rating service. The District may also contract with an investment management firm registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. Section 80b-1 et seq.) or with the State Securities Board to provide for the investment and management of its public funds or other funds under its control for a term up to two years, but the District retains ultimate responsibility as fiduciary of its assets. In order to renew or extend such a contract, the District must do so by order, ordinance, or resolution. The District is specifically prohibited from investing in: (1) obligations whose payment represents the coupon payments on the outstanding principal balance of the underlying mortgage-backed security collateral and pays no principal; (2) obligations whose payment represents the principal stream of cash flow from the underlying mortgage-backed security and bears no interest; (3) collateralized mortgage obligations that have a stated final maturity of greater than 10 years; and (4) collateralized mortgage obligations the interest rate of which is determined by an index that adjusts opposite to the changes in a market index. Under Texas law, the District is required to invest its funds under written investment policies that primarily emphasize safety of principal and liquidity; that address investment diversification, yield, maturity, and the quality and capability of investment management; and that include a list of authorized investments for District funds, the maximum allowable stated maturity of any individual investment and the maximum average dollar-weighted maturity allowed for pooled fund groups, methods to monitor the market price of investments acquired with public funds, a requirement for settlement of all transactions, except investment pool funds and mutual funds, on a delivery versus payment basis, and procedures to monitor rating changes in investments acquired with public funds and the liquidation of such investments consistent with the Public Funds Investment Act. All District funds must be invested consistent with a formally adopted "Investment Strategy Statement" that specifically addresses each fund's investment. Each Investment Strategy Statement will describe its objectives concerning: (1) suitability of investment type, (2) preservation and safety of principal, (3) liquidity, (4) marketability of each investment, (5) diversification of the portfolio, and (6) yield. Under Texas law, the District's investments must be made "with judgment and care, under prevailing circumstances, that a person of prudence, discretion, and intelligence would exercise in the management of the person's own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment considering the probable safety of capital and the probable income to be derived." At least quarterly the District's investment officers must submit an investment report to the Board of Trustees detailing: (1) the investment position of the District, (2) that all investment officers jointly prepared and signed the report, (3) the beginning market value, the ending market value and the fully accrued interest for the reporting period of each pooled fund group, (4) the book value and market value of each separately listed asset at the end of the reporting period, (5) the maturity date of each separately invested asset, (6) the account or fund or pooled fund group for which each individual investment was acquired, and (7) the compliance of the investment portfolio as it relates to: (a) adopted investment strategies and (b) Texas law. No person may invest District funds without express written authority from the Board of Trustees. Under State law, the District is additionally required to: (1) annually review its adopted policies and strategies; (2) adopt by written instrument a rule, order, ordinance or resolution stating that it has reviewed its investment policy and investment strategies and records any changes made to either its investment policy or investment strategy in the respective rule, order, ordinance or resolution; (3) require any investment officers with personal business relationships or relatives with firms seeking to sell securities to the entity to disclose the relationship and file a statement with the Texas Ethics Commission and the Board of Trustees; (4) require the qualified representative of firms offering to engage in an investment transaction with the District to: (a) receive and review the District's investment policy, (b) acknowledge that reasonable controls and procedures have been implemented to preclude investment transactions conducted between the District and the business organization that are not authorized by the District's investment policy (except to the extent that this authorization is dependent on an analysis of the makeup of the District's entire portfolio or requires an interpretation of subjective investment standards), and (c) deliver a written statement in a form acceptable to the District and the business organization attesting to these requirements; (5) perform an annual audit of the management controls on investments and adherence to the District's investment policy; (6) provide specific investment training for the Treasurer, chief financial officer and investment officers; (7) restrict reverse repurchase agreements to not more than 90 days and restrict the investment of reverse repurchase agreement funds to no greater than the term of the reverse purchase agreement; (8) restrict the investment in no-load mutual funds in the aggregate to no more than 15% of the District's monthly average fund balance, excluding bond proceeds and reserves and other funds held for debt service; (9) require local government investment pools to conform to the new disclosure, rating, net asset value, yield calculation, and advisory board requirements; and (10) at least annually review, revise and adopt a list of qualified brokers that are authorized to engage in investment transactions with the District. 16 Current Investments As of December 31, 2011 the District's funds were invested in the District's depository bank and TexPool as shown in the table that follows. The District does not currently own, nor does it anticipate the inclusion of long-term securities or derivative products in its portfolio. Fund and Investment Type Amount TexPool - Operating Fund $3,317,514 TexPool - Interest and Sinking Fund 310,178 First Financial Bank Interest Bearing Account - Operating Fund 373.001 Total Investments $4.000.693 TAX DATA District Bond Tax Rate Limitation By law the District's tax rate for debt service on the Bonds is unlimited as to rate or amount. Maintenance and Operations Tax The Board is also authorized to levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax for planning, constructing, acquiring, or maintaining or repairing or operating the District's improvements and facilities, if such maintenance and operations tax is authorized by a vote of the District's electors. Such tax is in addition to taxes which the District is authorized to levy for paying principal of and interest on the Bonds, and any tax bonds which may be issued in the future. As shown in APPENDIX A, TABLE 13 - "TAX RATE DISTRIBUTION," the District levied a 2011-2012 maintenance and operations tax for fire protection purposes of $0.10925/$100 assessed valuation and $0.00989/$100 assessed valuation for all other operations and maintenance purposes. Overlapping Taxes Other governmental entities whose boundaries overlap the District have outstanding bonds payable from ad valorem taxes. The statement of direct and estimated overlapping ad valorem tax debt shown in APPENDIX A - TABLE 14 (page A-6) was developed from several sources, including information contained in "Texas Municipal Reports," published by the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas. Except for the amount relating to the District, the District has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of such information, and no person is entitled to rely upon information as being accurate or complete. Furthermore, certain of the entities listed below may have issued additional bonds since the dates stated in this table, and such entities may have programs requiring the issuance of substantial amounts of additional bonds, the amount of which cannot be determined. Political subdivisions overlapping the District are authorized by Texas law to levy and collect ad valorem taxes for operation, maintenance and/or general revenue purposes in addition to taxes of debt service and the tax burden for operation, maintenance and/or general purposes is not included in these figures. (See APPENDIX A - TABLES 14, 15 & 17 for information on overlapping taxing entities.) TAXING PROCEDURES Authority to Levy Taxes The Board has been authorized to levy an annual ad valorem tax on all taxable property within the District in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, their pro rata share of debt service on any contract tax bonds and any additional bonds or obligations payable from taxes which the District may hereafter issue and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such taxes. The District agrees in the Order to levy such a tax from year-to-year as described more fully herein under "THE BONDS - Security for Payment." Under Texas law, the Board is also authorized to levy and collect an ad valorem tax for the operation and maintenance of the District and for the payment of certain contractual obligations, if authorized by its voters. (See" TAX DATA - District Bond Tax Rate Limitation" herein.) Property Tax Code and County-Wide Appraisal District The Texas Property Tax Code (the "Property Tax Code") specifies the taxing procedures of all political subdivisions of the State of Texas, including the District. Provisions of the Property Tax Code are complex and are not fully summarized herein. The Property Tax Code requires, among other matters, county-wide appraisal and equalization of taxable property values and establishes in each county of the State of Texas an appraisal district with the responsibility for recording and appraising property for all taxing units within the county and an appraisal review board with responsibility for reviewing and equalizing the values established by the appraisal district. The board of directors of the appraisal district selects a chief appraiser to manage the appraisal offices of the appraisal district. The Denton Central Appraisal District and the Tarrant Appraisal District have the 17 responsibility for appraising property for all taxing units within Denton and Tarrant Counties, including the District. Such appraisal values are subject to review and change by the appraisal review boards of each county. The appraisal roll as approved by the appraisal review boards must be used by the District in establishing its tax roll and tax rate. General: Except for certain exemptions provided by Texas law, all property with a tax situs in the District is subject to taxation by the District; however, no effort is made by the District to collect taxes on tangible or intangible personal property not devoted to commercial or industrial use. Principal categories of exempt property applicable to the District include: (i)property owned by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions if the property is used for public purposes; (ii)property exempt from ad valorem taxation by federal law; (iii) certain property owned by charitable organizations, youth development associations, religious organizations, and qualified schools; (iv) designated historical sites; and (v) solar and wind-powered energy devices. Freeport Exemption: Article VIII, Section 1-j of the Texas Constitution authorizing an ad valorem tax exemption for "freeport property" was approved November 7, 1989. Freeport property is goods detained in Texas for 175 days or less for the purpose of assembly, storage, manufacturing, processing or fabrication. The District does grant this exemption. Goods in Transit: "Goods in Transit", which are certain goods, principally inventory, that are stored, for the purposes of assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing or fabricating the goods, in a location that is not owned by the owner of the goods and are transferred from that location to another location within 175 days; a taxpayer may receive only one of the freeport exemptions or the goods-in-transit exemptions for items of personal property. The District does not exempt Goods in Transit. Agricultural/Open-Land Exemption: Article VIII provides that eligible owners of both agricultural land (Section 1-d) and open- space land (Section 1-d-1), including open-space land devoted to farm or ranch purposes or open-space land devoted to timber production, may elect to have such property appraised for property taxation on the basis of its productive capacity. The same land may not be qualified under both Section 1-d and 1-d-1. The District does have land that qualifies for this exemption. Residence Homestead Exemptions: Under Section 1-b, Article VIII, and State law, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant an exemption of not less than $3,000 of market value of the residence homestead of persons 65 years of age or older and the disabled from all ad valorem taxes thereafter levied by the political subdivision. Once authorized, such exemption may be repealed or decreased or increased in amount (i) by the governing body of the political subdivision or (ii) by a favorable vote of a majority of the qualified voters at an election called by the governing body of the political subdivision, which election must be called upon receipt of a petition signed by at least 20% of the number of qualified voters who voted in the preceding election of the political subdivision. In the case of a decrease, the amount of the exemption may not be reduced to less than $3,000 of the market value. The surviving spouse of an individual who qualifies for the foregoing exemption for the residence homestead of a person 65 or older (but not the disabled) is entitled to an exemption for the same property in an amount equal to that of the exemption for which the deceased spouse qualified if (i) the deceased spouse died in a year in which the deceased spouse qualified for the exemption, (ii) the surviving spouse was at least 55 years of age at the time of the death of the individual's spouse and (iii) the property was the residence homestead of the surviving spouse when the deceased spouse died and remains the residence homestead of the surviving spouse. The Board has granted such elderly and disabled exemptions in the amount of $25,000 of assessed valuation. In addition to any other exemptions provided by the Property Tax Code, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant an exemption of up to 20% of the market value of residence homesteads, with a minimum exemption of $5,000. The District does not grant the option percentage of market value exemption. In the case of residence homestead exemptions granted under Section 1-b, Article VIII, ad valorem taxes may continue to be levied against the value of homesteads exempted where ad valorem taxes have previously been pledged for the payment of debt if cessation of the levy would impair the obligation of the contract by which the debt was created. Disabled/Deceased Veterans Exemption: State law and Section 2, Article VIII, mandate an additional property tax exemption for disabled veterans or the surviving spouse (for so long as the surviving spouse remains unmarried) or children (under 18 years of age) of a deceased veteran who died while on active duty in the armed forces; the exemption applies to either real or personal property with the amount of assessed valuation exempted ranging from $5,000 to a maximum of $12,000; provided, however, that beginning in the 2009 tax year, a disabled veteran who receives from the from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or its successor 100 percent disability compensation due to a service-connected disability and a rating of 100 percent disabled or of individual unemployability is entitled to an exemption from taxation of the total appraised value of the veteran's residence homestead. In addition, effective January 1, 2012, and subject to certain conditions, surviving spouses of a deceased veteran who had received a disability rating of 100% will be entitled to receive a residential homestead exemption equal to the exemption received by the deceased spouse until such surviving spouse remarries. The District does grant the disabled / deceased veterans Exemption. 18 Tax Abatement: Denton County, Tarrant County or the Town of Trophy Club may designate all or part of the area within the District as a reinvestment zone. Thereafter, the District may enter into tax abatement agreements with owners of real property within the District for up to ten (10) years, all or any part of any increase in the assessed valuation of property covered by the agreement over its assessed valuation in the year in which the agreement is executed, on the condition that the property owner make specified improvements or repairs to the property in conformity with a comprehensive plan. All of the area of the District is included in reinvestment zones designated by the Town of Trophy Club, for tax abatement purposes. Valuation of Property for Taxation Generally, all taxable property in the District must be appraised by the Denton Central Appraisal District and the Tarrant Appraisal District (collectively, the "Appraisal District") at one hundred percent (100%) of market value as of January 1 of each year, subject to review and approval by the Appraisal Review Board. In determining market value, either the replacement cost or the income or the market data method of valuation may be used, whichever is appropriate. Certain land may be appraised at less than market value under the Property Tax Code. Increases in the appraised value of residence homesteads are limited to 10 percent annually regardless of the market value of the property. Upon application of a landowner, land which qualifies as "open-space land" is appraised based on the category of land, using accepted income capitalization methods applied to the average net income derived from the use of the land for agriculture and hunting or recreational leases. Upon application of a landowner, land which qualifies as "timber land" is appraised using accepted income capitalization methods applied to the average net income derived from the use of the land for production of timber. Land which qualifies as an aesthetic management zone, critical wildlife management zone, or streamside management zone or is being regenerated for timber production for 10 years after harvest is valued at one-half that amount. In the case of both open space and timber land valuations, if the use of land changes, an additional tax is generally imposed on the land equal to the difference between the taxes imposed on the land for each of the five (5) years preceding the year in which the change of use occurs and the tax that would have been imposed had the land been taxed on the basis of market value in each of those years, plus interest at an annual rate of seven percent (7%) calculated from the dates on which the differences would have become due. There are also special appraisal methods for agricultural land owned by individuals whose primary occupation and income are farming and for recreational, park, and scenic land. Also, houses or lots held for sale by a developer or builder which remain unoccupied, are not leased or rented and produce no income are required to be assessed at the price for which they would sell as a unit to a purchaser who would continue the owner's business, upon application of the owner. Once an appraisal roll is prepared and approved by the Appraisal Review Board, it is used by the District in establishing its tax rate. The Property Tax Code requires the Appraisal District to implement a plan for periodic reappraisal of property to update appraised values. The plan must provide for appraisal of all real property in the Appraisal District at least one every three (3) years. It is not know what frequency of reappraisal will be utilized by the Appraisal District or whether reappraisals will be conducted on a zone or countywide basis. Notice and Hearing Procedures The Tax Code establishes a "truth-in-taxation" process identifying increases in the effective tax rate. The rollback tax rate equals 108% of the total tax rate for the prior year. If the District decides to increase the tax rate more than eight percent (8%) above the previous year's tax rate, it must hold a public hearing and give notice to its taxpayers. If the actual tax rate adopted exceeds the rollback tax rate, taxpayers may petition to hold an election to reduce the tax rate to the rollback tax rate for the fiscal year. The Tax Code also establishes a procedure for notice to property owners of reappraisals reflecting increased property values, appraisals which are higher than renditions, and appraisals of property not previously on an appraisal roll District and Taxpayer Remedies The chief appraiser must give written notice before the Appraisal Review Board meeting to an affected owner if a reappraisal has resulted in an increase in value over the prior year or the value rendered by the owner, or if property not previously included on the appraisal roll has been appraised. Any owner who has timely filed notice with the Appraisal Review Board may appeal the final determination by the Appraisal Review Board of the owner's protest by filing suit in Texas district court. Prior to such appeal, however, the owner must pay the tax due on the amount of value of the property involved that is not in dispute or the amount of tax paid in the prior year, whichever is greater, but not to exceed the amount of tax due under the order from which the appeal is taken. In the event of such suit, the value of the property is determined by the court, or a jury if requested by any party. Additionally, the District is entitled to challenge certain matters before the Appraisal Review Board, including the level of appraisal of certain category of property, the exclusion of property from the appraisal records, or the grant in whole or in part of a partial exemption, or a determination that land qualifies for a special use appraisal (agricultural or timber classification, for example). The District may not, however, protest a valuation of individual property. 19 Levy and Collection of Taxes The rate of taxation is set by the Board based upon the valuation of property within the District as of the preceding January 1 and the amount required to be raised for debt service, maintenance purposes, and authorized contractual obligations. Unless the Board, or the qualified voters of the District or of Denton County or Tarrant County at an election held for such purpose, determines to transfer the collection of taxes to the Denton Central Appraisal District or Tarrant Appraisal District or another taxing unit, the District is responsible for the levy and collection of its taxes. The District has contracted with the Denton County Tax Collector to collect the taxes for the District. Taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year. The date of the delinquency may be postponed if the tax bills are mailed after January 10 of any year. Delinquent taxes are subject to a 6% penalty for the first month of delinquency, one percent (1%) for each month thereafter to July 1, and 12% total if any taxes are unpaid on July 1. Delinquent taxes also accrue interest at the rate of 1% per month during the period they remain outstanding. In addition, where a district engages an attorney for collection of delinquent taxes, the Board may impose a further penalty not to exceed twenty percent 20% on all taxes unpaid on July 1. The District may be prohibited from collection of penalties and interest on real property owned by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation. In prior years the District has engaged a delinquent tax attorney and imposed such a penalty. District's Rights in the Event of Tax Delinquencies Taxes levied by the District are a personal obligation of the owner of the property on January 1 of the year for which the tax is imposed. On January 1 of each year, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all state and local taxes, penalties, and interest ultimately imposed for the year on the property. The lien exists in favor of the State of Texas and each local taxing unit, including the District, having power to tax the property. The District's tax lien is on a parity with tax liens of such other taxing units. A tax lien on real property takes priority over the claim of most creditors and other holders of liens on the property encumbered by the tax lien, whether or not the debt or lien existed before the attachment of the tax lien; however, whether a lien of the United States is on a parity with or takes priority over a tax lien of the District is determined by applicable federal law. Personal property under certain circumstances is subject to seizure and sale for the payment of delinquent taxes, penalty, and interest. At any time after taxes on property become delinquent, the District may file suit to foreclose the lien securing payment of the tax, to enforce personal liability for the tax, or both. In filing a suit to foreclose a tax lien on real property, the District must join other taxing units that have claims for delinquent taxes against all or part of the same property. Collection of delinquent taxes may be adversely affected by the amount of taxes owed to other taxing units, by the effects of market conditions on the foreclosure sale price, by taxpayer redemption rights (a taxpayer may redeem property within two years after the purchaser's deed issued at the foreclosure sale is filed in the county records) or by bankruptcy proceedings which restrict the collection of taxpayer debts. (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - General" and "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Tax Collections and Foreclosure Remedies".) TAX MATTERS Opinion On the date of initial delivery of the Bonds, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Dallas, Texas, Bond Counsel to the Issuer, will render its opinion that, in accordance with statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions existing on the date thereof ("Existing Law"), (1) interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes will be excludable from the "gross income" of the holders thereof and (2) the Bonds will not be treated as "specified private activity bonds" the interest on which would be included as an alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Except as stated above, Bond Counsel to the Issuer will express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. See Appendix C - Form of Legal Opinion of Bond Counsel. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel to the Issuer will rely upon (a) certain information and representations of the Issuer, including information and representations contained in the Issuer's federal tax certificate, and (b) covenants of the Issuer contained in the Bond documents relating to certain matters, including arbitrage and the use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds and the property financed or refinanced therewith and (c) the certification of the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds that the amount deposited with the Escrow Agent will be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds when due. Failure by the Issuer to observe the aforementioned representations or covenants could cause the interest on the Bonds to become taxable retroactively to the date of issuance. The Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder contain a number of requirements that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order for interest on the Bonds to be, and to remain, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements may cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel to the Issuer is conditioned on compliance by the Issuer with such requirements, and Bond Counsel to the Issuer has not been retained to monitor compliance with these requirements subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds. 20 Bond Counsel's opinion represents its legal judgement based upon its review of Existing Law and the reliance on the aforementioned information, representations and covenants. Bond Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a result. Existing Law is subject to change by the Congress and to subsequent judicial and administrative interpretation by the courts and the Department of the Treasury. There can be no assurance that Existing Law or the interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner which would adversely affect the tax treatment of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. A ruling was not sought from the Internal Revenue Service by the Issuer with respect to the Bonds or the property financed or refinanced with proceeds of the Bonds. No assurances can be given as to whether the Internal Revenue Service will commence an audit of the Bonds, or as to whether the Internal Revenue Service would agree with the opinion of Bond Counsel. If an Internal Revenue Service audit is commenced, under current procedures the Internal Revenue Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer and the Bondholders may have no right to participate in such procedure. No additional interest will be paid upon any determination of taxability. Federal Income Tax Accounting Treatment of Original Issue Discount The initial public offering price to be paid for one or more maturities of the Bonds may be less than the principal amount or maturity amount thereof or one or more periods for the payment of interest on the bonds may not be equal to the accrual period or be in excess of one year (the "Original Issue Discount Bonds"). In such event, the difference between (i) the "stated redemption price at maturity" of each Original Issue Discount Bond, and (ii) the initial offering price to the public of such Original Issue Discount Bond would constitute original issue discount. The "stated redemption price at maturity" means the sum of all payments to be made on the bonds less the amount of all periodic interest payments. Periodic interest payments are payments which are made during equal accrual periods (or during any unequal period if it is the initial or final period) and which are made during accrual periods which do not exceed one year. Under existing law, any owner who has purchased such Original Issue Discount Bond in the initial public offering is entitled to exclude from gross income (as defined in section 61 of the Code) an amount of income with respect to such Original Issue Discount Bond equal to that portion of the amount of such original issue discount allocable to the accrual period. For a discussion of certain collateral federal tax consequences, see discussion set forth below. In the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bond prior to stated maturity, however, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such Original Issue Discount Bond in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Original Issue Discount Bond was held by such initial owner) is includable in gross income. Under existing law, the original issue discount on each Original Issue Discount Bond is accrued daily to the stated maturity thereof (in amounts calculated as described below for each six-month period ending on the date before the semiannual anniversary dates of the date of the Bonds and ratably within each such six-month period) and the accrued amount is added to an initial owner's basis for such Original Issue Discount Bond for purposes of determining the amount of gain or loss recognized by such owner upon the redemption, sale or other disposition thereof. The amount to be added to basis for each accrual period is equal to (a) the sum of the issue price and the amount of original issue discount accrued in prior periods multiplied by the yield to stated maturity (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period) less (b) the amounts payable as current interest during such accrual period on such Original Issue Discount Bond. The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of Original Issue Discount Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those described above. All owners of Original Issue Discount Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the determination for federal, state and local income tax purposes of the treatment of interest accrued upon redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds and with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds. Collateral Federal Income Tax Consequences The following discussion is a summary of certain collateral federal income tax consequences resulting from the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. This discussion is based on existing statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change or modification, retroactively. The following discussion is applicable to investors, other than those who are subject to special provisions of the Code, such as financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, life insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, individuals allowed an earned income credit, certain S corporations with accumulated earnings and profits and excess passive investment income, foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase tax-exempt obligations. 21 THE DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN MAY NOT BE EXHAUSTIVE. INVESTORS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE CODE, SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX TREATMENT WHICH MAY BE ANTICIPATED TO RESULT FROM THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS BEFORE DETERMINING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE BONDS. Interest on the Bonds will be includable as an adjustment for "adjusted current earnings" to calculate the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. Under section 6012 of the Code, holders of tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, may be required to disclose interest received or accrued during each taxable year on their returns of federal income taxation. Section 1276 of the Code provides for ordinary income tax treatment of gain recognized upon the disposition of a tax-exempt obligation, such as the Bonds, if such obligation was acquired at a "market discount" and if the fixed maturity of such obligation is equal to, or exceeds, one year from the date of issue. Such treatment applies to "market discount bonds" to the extent such gain does not exceed the accrued market discount of such bonds; although for this purpose, a de minimis amount of market discount is ignored. A "market discount bond" is one which is acquired by the holder at a purchase price which is less than the stated redemption price at maturity or, in the case of a bond issued at an original issue discount, the "revised issue price" (i.e., the issue price plus accrued original issue discount). The "accrued market discount" is the amount which bears the same ratio to the market discount as the number of days during which the holder holds the obligation bears to the number of days between the acquisition date and the final maturity date. State, Local and Foreign Taxes Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax implications of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds under applicable state or local laws. Foreign investors should also consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences unique to investors who are not United States persons. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations for Financial Institutions Section 265(a) of the Code provides, in pertinent part, that interest paid or incurred by a taxpayer, including a "financial institution," on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations is not deductible in determining the taxpayer's taxable income. Section 265(b) of the Code provides an exception to the disallowance of such deduction for any interest expense paid or incurred on indebtedness of a taxpayer that is a "financial institution" allocable to tax-exempt obligations, other than "private activity bonds," that are designated by a "qualified small issuer" as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." A "qualified small issuer" is any governmental issuer (together with any "on-behalf of and "subordinate" issuers) who issues no more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations during the calendar year. Section 265(b)(5) of the Code defines the term "financial institution" as any "bank" described in section 585(a)(2) of the Code, or any person accepting deposits from the public in the ordinary course of such person's trade or business that is subject to federal or state supervision as a financial institution. Notwithstanding the exception to the disallowance of the deduction of interest on indebtedness related to "qualified tax-exempt obligations" provided by section 265(b) of the Code, section 291 of the Code provides that the allowable deduction to a "bank," as defined in section 585(a)(2) of the Code, for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase "qualified tax-exempt obligations" shall be reduced by twenty-percent (20%) as a "financial institution preference item." In the Order, the Issuer has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of section 265(b) of the Code. In furtherance of that designation, the Issuer has covenanted to take such action that would assure, or to refrain from such action that would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." Potential purchasers should be aware that if the issue price to the public exceeds $10,000,000 there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the payment of a de minimis amount of premium in excess of $10,000,000 is disregarded; however, the Internal Revenue Service could take a contrary view. If the Internal Revenue Service takes the position that the amount of such premium is not disregarded, then such obligations might fail to satisfy the aforementioned dollar limitation and the Bonds would not be "qualified tax-exempt obligations." CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION In the Order, the Issuer has made the following agreement for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of each of the Bonds. The Issuer is required to observe the agreement for so long as it remains obligated to advance funds to pay the Bonds. Under the agreement, the Issuer will be obligated to provide certain updated financial information and operating data annually, and timely notice of certain specified events, to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB"). Annual Reports The Issuer will provide certain updated financial information and operating data to the MSRB. The District will provide all quantitative financial information and operating data with respect to the District of the general type included in this Official Statement. The information to be updated includes Tables 1,12 and 13 of Appendix A, and the annual audited financial statements of the District. The Issuer will update and provide this information within six months after the end of each fiscal year ending in and after 2011. 22 The financial information to be provided may be set forth in full in one or more documents or may be included by specific reference to any document available to the public on the MSRB's Internet Website or filed with the SEC, as permitted by SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule"). The updated information will include audited financial statements for the Issuer, if the Issuer commissions an audit and it is completed by the required time. If audited financial statements are not available by the required time, the Issuer will provide unaudited financial statements by the required time and audited financial statements when and if such audited financial statements become available. Any such financial statements will be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles described in Appendix D or such other accounting principles as the Issuer may be required to employ from time to time pursuant to State law or regulation. The Issuer's current fiscal year end is September 30. Accordingly, it must provide updated information by the last day in March in each year, unless the Issuer changes its fiscal year. If the Issuer changes its fiscal year, it will notify the MSRB of the change. Notice of Certain Events The Issuer will also provide timely notices of certain events to the MSRB. The Issuer will provide notice of any of the following events with respect to the Bonds to the MSRB in a timely manner (but not in excess of ten business days after the occurrence of the event): (1) principal and interest payment delinquencies; (2) non-payment related defaults, if material; (3) unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulties; (4) unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulties; (5) substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform; (6) adverse tax opinions, the issuance by the Internal Revenue Service of proposed or final determinations of taxability, Notices of Proposed Issue (IRS Form 5701-TEB), or other material notices or determinations with respect to the tax status of the Bonds, or other material events affecting the tax status of the Bonds; (7) modifications to rights of holders of the Bonds, if material; (8) Bond calls, if material, and tender offers; (9) defeasances; (10) release, substitution, or sale of property securing repayment of the Bonds, if material; (11) rating changes; (12) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar event of the Issuer, which shall occur as described below; (13) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition involving the Issuer or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, other than in the ordinary course of business, the entry into of a definitive agreement to undertake such an action or the termination of a definitive agreement relating to any such actions, other than pursuant to its terms, if material; and (14) appointment of a successor or additional trustee or the change of name of a trustee, if material. In addition, the Issuer will provide timely notice of any failure by the Issuer to provide annual financial information in accordance with their agreement described above under "Annual Reports". For these purposes, any event described in clause (12) of the immediately preceding paragraph is considered to occur when any of the following occur: the appointment of a receiver, fiscal agent, or similar officer for the Issuer in a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or in any other proceeding under state or federal law in which a court or governmental authority has assumed jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the Issuer, or if such jurisdiction has been assumed by leaving the existing governing body and officials or officers in possession but subject to the supervision and orders of a court or governmental authority, or the entry of an order confirming a plan of reorganization, arrangement, or liquidation by a court or governmental authority having supervision or jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the Issuer. Availability of Information from MSRB The Issuer has agreed to provide the foregoing financial information and operating data only as described above. Investors will be able to access continuing disclosure information filed with the MSRB free of charge at www.emma.msrb.org. Limitations and Amendments The Issuer has agreed to update information and to provide notices of certain specified events only as described above. The Issuer has not agreed to provide other information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of its financial results of operations, condition, or prospects or agreed to update any information that is provided, except as described above. The Issuer makes no representation or warranty concerning such information or concerning its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Bonds at any future date. The Issuer disclaims any contractual or tort liability for damages resulting in whole or in part from any breach of its continuing disclosure agreement or from any statement made pursuant to its agreement, although holders or beneficial owners of Bonds may seek a writ of mandamus to compel the Issuer to comply with its agreement. The Issuer may amend its continuing disclosure agreement 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 Issuer, if the agreement, as amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Bonds in the offering described herein in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule to the date of such amendment, as well as such changed circumstances, and either the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds consent or any person unaffiliated with the Issuer (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determines that the amendment will not materially impair the interests of the beneficial owners of the Bonds. The Issuer may also repeal or amend these provisions 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 the provisions of this sentence would not prevent an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds giving effect to (a) such 23 provisions as so amended and (b) any amendments or interpretations of the Rule. If the Issuer amends its agreement, it must include with the next financial information and operating data provided in accordance with its agreement described above under "Annual Reports" an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of information and data provided. Compliance with Prior Agreements For the last five years, the District has complied in all material respects with its previous continuing disclosure agreements made in accordance with the Rule. OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION Legal Matters The delivery of the Bonds is subject to the receipt of an approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas to the effect that the Bonds are valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, and the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel, to like effect and to the effect that the interest on the Bonds will be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under section 103(a) of the Code, subject to the matters described under "TAX MATTERS" herein, including the alternative minimum tax on corporations. The form of Bond Counsel's opinion is attached hereto as Appendix C. The legal fee to be paid to Bond Counsel for services rendered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Bonds. Though it represents the Financial Advisor and the Underwriter from time to time in matters unrelated to the issuance of the Bonds, Bond Counsel has been engaged by and only represents the Issuer in the issuance of the Bonds. Except as noted below, Bond Counsel did not take part in the preparation of the Official Statement, and such firm has not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto or undertaken independently to verify any of the information contained herein except that in its capacity as Bond Counsel, such firm has reviewed the information appearing under captions "PLAN OF FINANCING", "THE BONDS" (except for subcaptions "Yield on Premium Capital Appreciation Bonds", "Default and Remedies" and "Payment Record" and the second and third sentences under the subcaption "Issuance of Additional Debt"), "TAX MATTERS," "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION" (exclusive of the subcaption "Compliance With Prior Agreements"), and the subcaptions "Legal Matters" (except for the last two sentences of the second paragraph thereof), "Registration and Qualification of Bonds for Sale" and "Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas" under the caption "OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION" to determine whether such information accurately and fairly summarizes the material and documents referred to therein and is correct as to matters of law, and that such information conforms to the Order. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriter by Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Dallas, Texas, Counsel for the Underwriter. The legal fees to be paid to Counsel to the Underwriter are contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Bonds. The legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds express the professional judgment of the respective attorneys rendering the opinions as to the legal issues explicitly addressed therein. In rendering a legal opinion, the attorney does not become an insurer or guarantor of that expression of professional judgment, of the transaction opined upon, or of the future performance of the parties to the transaction. Nor does the rendering of an opinion guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute that may arise out of the transaction. Registration and Qualification of Bonds for Sale The sale of the Bonds has not been registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption provided thereunder by Section 3(a)(2); and the Bonds have not been qualified under the Securities Act of Texas in reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Bonds been qualified under the securities acts of any jurisdiction. The Issuer assumes no responsibility for qualification of the Bonds under the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which the Bonds may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred. This disclaimer of responsibility for qualification for sale or other disposition of the Bonds shall not be construed as an interpretation of any kind with regard to the availability of any exemption from securities registration provisions. Litigation In the opinion of District officials, the Issuer is not a party to any litigation or other proceeding pending or to its knowledge, threatened, in any court, agency or other administrative body (either state or federal) which, if decided adversely to the Issuer, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the District. Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas Section 1201.041 of the Public Security Procedures Act (Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code) provides that the Bonds are negotiable instruments, investment securities governed by Chapter 8, Texas Business and Commerce Code, and are real and authorized investments for insurance companies, fiduciaries, and trustees, and for the sinking funds of municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State. With respect to investment in the Bonds by municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State, the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code, requires that the Bonds be assigned a rating of at least "A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency. See 24 "RATINGS" herein. In addition, various provisions of the Texas Finance Code provide that, subject to a prudent investor standard, obligations such as the Bonds are legal investments for state banks, savings banks, trust companies with capital of one million dollars or more, and savings and loan associations. The Bonds are eligible to secure deposits of any public funds of the State, its agencies, and its political subdivisions, and are legal security for those deposits to the extent of their fair market value. No review by the District has been made of the laws in other states to determine whether the Bonds are legal investments for various institutions in those states. No representation is made that the Bonds will be acceptable to public entities to secure their deposits or acceptable to such institutions for investment purposes. The District has made no investigation of other laws, rules, regulations or investment criteria which might apply to any such persons or entities or which might otherwise limit the suitability of the Bonds for any of the foregoing purposes or limit the authority of such persons or entities to purchase or invest in the Bonds for such purposes. Underwriting The Underwriter has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the Bonds from the Issuer at a price of $ (representing the par amount of the Bonds of $ , plus an original issue premium of $ , less an Underwriter's discount of $ ), plus accrued interest on the Bonds to the date of initial delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriter. The Underwriter's obligation is subject to certain conditions precedent. The Underwriter will be obligated to purchase all of the Bonds, if any of the Bonds are purchased. The Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including the Underwriter and other dealers depositing Bonds into investment trusts) and others at prices lower than such public offering prices, and such public prices may be changed, from time to time, by the Underwriter. The Underwriter has provided the following sentence for inclusion in this Official Statement. The Underwriter has reviewed the information in this Official Statement in accordance with, and as part of, its responsibilities to investors under federal securities laws as applied to the facts and circumstances of this transaction, but the Underwriter does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. Financial Advisor Southwest Securities is employed as a Financial Advisor to the Issuer in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. In this capacity, the Financial Advisor has compiled certain data relating to the Bonds and has assisted in drafting this Official Statement. The Financial Advisor has not independently verified any of the data contained herein or conducted a detailed investigation of the affairs of the Issuer to determine the accuracy or completeness of this Official Statement. Because of its limited participation, the Financial Advisor assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of the information contained herein. The fees for Financial Advisor are contingent upon the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds.

B-3 [This page is intentionally left blank.] APPENDIX C FORM OF LEGAL OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL Proposed Form of Opinion of Bond Counsel An opinion in substantially the following form will be delivered by McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Bond Counsel, upon the delivery of the Bonds, assuming no material changes in facts or law. [DATE OF DELIVERY] TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 UNLIMITED TAX REFUNDING BONDS SERIES 2012 DATED MARCH 1,2012 IN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $ AS BOND COUNSEL FOR TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 (the "District") issuer of the Bonds described above (the "Bonds"), we have examined into the legality and validity of the Bonds, which bear interest from the dates and mature on the dates, and are subject to redemption, in accordance with the terms and conditions stated in the text of the Bonds. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given in the Order of the District authorizing the issuance and sale of the Bonds (the "Order"). WE HAVE EXAMINED the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and other documents authorizing and relating to the issuance of said Bonds, including one of the executed Bonds (Bond Number T-1), and specimens of Bonds to be authenticated and delivered in exchange for the Bonds. BASED ON SAID EXAMINATION, IT IS OUR OPINION THAT the Bonds have been authorized and issued and the Bonds delivered concurrently with this opinion have been duly delivered, and that, assuming due authentication, Bonds issued in exchange therefor will have been duly delivered, in accordance with law, and that said Bonds, except as may be limited by laws applicable to the District relating to bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar matters affecting creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the District, payable from ad valorem taxes to be levied and collected by the District upon taxable property within the District, which taxes the District has covenanted to levy in an amount sufficient to pay the interest on and the principal of the Bonds. Such covenant to levy taxes is subject to the right of a city, under existing Texas law, to annex all of the territory within the District; to take over all properties and assets of the District; to assume all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the District, including the Bonds; and to abolish the District or if the District consolidates with another District. IT IS FURTHER OUR OPINION, except as discussed below, that the interest on the Bonds is excludable from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes under the statutes, regulations, published rulings, and court decisions existing on the date of this opinion. We are further of the opinion that the Bonds are not "specified private activity bonds" and that, accordingly, interest on the Bonds will not be included as an individual or corporate alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). In expressing the aforementioned opinions, we have relied on, certain representations, the accuracy of which we have not independently verified, and assume compliance with certain covenants regarding the use and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds and the use of the property financed or refinced therewith. We call your attention to the fact that if such representations are determined to be inaccurate or if the Issuer fails to comply with such covenants, interest on the Bonds may become includable in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, we express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of the Bonds. WE CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT the interest on tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, is included in a corporation's alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of determining the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. OUR OPINIONS ARE BASED ON EXISTING LAW, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"); rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that we deem relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to determine compliance with rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published procedures the Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer. We observe that the Issuer has covenanted not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, may result in the treatment of interest on the Bonds as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. WE EXPRESS NO OPINION as to any insurance policies issued with respect to the payments due for the principal of and interest on the Bonds, nor as to any such insurance policies issued in the future. OUR SOLE ENGAGEMENT in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is as Bond Counsel for the Issuer, and, in that capacity, we have been engaged by the Issuer for the sole purpose of rendering our opinions with respect to the legality and validity of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and with respect to the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes, and for no other reason or purpose. The foregoing opinions represent our legal judgment based upon a review of existing legal authorities that we deem relevant to render such opinions and are not a guarantee of a result. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not independently investigated or verified, any records, data, or other material relating to the financial condition or capabilities of the Issuer, or the disclosure thereof in connection with the sale of the Bonds, and have not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto. We express no opinion and make no comment with respect to the marketability of the Bonds. Our role in connection with the Issuer's Official Statement prepared for use in connection with the sale of the Bonds has been limited as described therein. Respectfully, APPENDIX D EXCERPTS FROM THE DISTRICT'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (Independent Auditor's Report, General Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements - not intended to be a complete statement of the Issuer's financial condition. Reference is made to the complete Annual Financial Report for further information.) Follexit: and Company PLLC / / f I Certified Public Accountants INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Board of Directors Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 Trophy Club, Texas We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1, (the District), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011, which collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the District's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, and each major fund of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 as of September 30, 2011, and the changes in financial position for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The management's discussion and analysis, and budgetary comparison information on pages 3 through 10 and 35 through 36, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. 1 LaFollett & Company PLLC PO Box 717 • Tom Bean, TX • 75489 903-546-6975 • vvvvw.lafollettcpa.com In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have issued a report dated January 31, 2012 on our consideration of the District's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. The report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 's basic financial statements. The accompanying individual schedules and other supplementary information listed in the table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying individual schedules and other supplementary information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. LaFollett & Company, PLLC Tom Bean, Texas January 31, 2012 2 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2011 3 Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1, Texas (the "District") Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is a narrative overview and analysis designed to provide the reader a means to identify and understand the financial activity of the District and changes in the District's financial position during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The Management's Discussion and Analysis is supplemental to, and should be considered along with, the District's financial statements. Financial Highlights At the close of the fiscal year, the assets of the District exceeded its liabilities by $12,262,122. Of this amount, $3,123,113 is unrestricted net assets and may be used to meet the District's ongoing commitments. The District's net assets increased by $1,991,485 as a result of operations. At the end of the fiscal year, the District's governmental type funds reported a combined fund balance of $3,143,822. As of September 30, 2011, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $2,509,429, which is equal to 42% of total General Fund expenditures. The governmental long-term debt bond obligations of the District decreased by $1,115,000. Overview of the Financial Statements The MD&A is intended to introduce the reader to the District's basic financial statements, which are comprised of three components: 1. Government-Wide Financial Statements, 2. Fund Financial Statements, and 3. Notes to Basic Financial Statements. The report also contains other required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. Government-Wide Financial Statements - the government wide financial statements are designed to provide the reader with a general overview of the District's finances in a way that is comparable with financial statements from the private sector. The government-wide financial statements consist of two statements: 1. The Statement of Net Assets - (Page 11) this statement presents information on all of the District's assets and liabilities; the difference between the two is reported as net assets. Over an extended period, the increase or decrease in net assets will serve as a good indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating. TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 Overview of the Financial Statements - continued 2. The Statement of Activities - (Page 12) gives information showing how the District's net assets have changed during the fiscal year. All revenues and expenses are reported on the full accrual basis. Fund Financial Statements - Fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most important funds and not about the District as a whole as in the government-wide financial statements. The District uses fund accounting to demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements which can be categorized as governmental fund activities. Governmental Funds - All of the District's activities are reported in governmental funds. They are used to account for those functions known as governmental activities. But unlike government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on how monies flow into and out of those funds and their resulting balances at the end of the fiscal year. Statements of governmental funds provide a detailed short-term view of the District's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Such information can be useful in evaluating a government's short-term financing requirements. The District maintains three governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund and Capital Projects Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. The District adopts annual appropriated budgets for the General Fund and Debt Service Funds.

It may serve over an extended period of time, as a useful indicator of the District's financial position. At the end of the fiscal year, the District's assets exceeded liabilities by $12,262,122. Of this amount $9,031,162 (74%) reflects the District's investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation), less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The District uses these capital assets to provide service to the community; therefore these assets are not available for future spending. Table 1 Condensed Statements of Net Assets TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2011 District operational analysis - The following table provides a summary analysis of the District's consolidated operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Governmental activities have increased the District's net assets by $1,991,485, which amounts to a 19% increase in net assets for the year ended September 30, 2011.

The 6 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2011 information derived from these funds is highly useful in assessing the District's financial requirements. The unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the government's net resources available for use at the fiscal year-end. At the end of the fiscal year, the District's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $3,143,822, of which 70%, or $2,206,963, is unassigned and available to the District for future spending. Additional fund balances of $107,847 are assigned to pay debt service. General Fund budgetary highlights Revenue: Revenues were $1,072,966 more than budgeted • Water and wastewater charges were $973,696 (22%) more than budgeted. The budget was based on a normal year, but the District experienced dry, hot weather increasing the use of water. Expenses: Expenses were $396,693 less than budgeted • Water operations were $179,979 more than budgeted due to a higher water use during above average summer heat and dry weather. • The Fire Department had a $436,517 positive budget variance (see page 35) for 2011 expenditures before transfers and capital outlays. After these items are considered, the positive variance was $50,517. Debt Service Fund: • Actual debt service fund revenue was $12,921 more than budgeted due to the payment of delinquent taxes. The debt service expenses were $1,040 less than budgeted. • The debt service fund reserves decreased from $272,132 to $ 107,847. Overall: • Governmental type funds revenue totaled $8,080,851 while expenditures totaled $9,927,933. • Total governmental type fund balances decreased from $4,990,903 to $3,143,821; a decrease of $1,847,082 or 37%. The decrease was expected due to the Capital Projects Fund's use of $2 million of prior year bond proceeds for fiscal year 2011 capital outlays. 7 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 Capital Asset and Debt Administration The District's investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of September 30, 2011 amounted to $16,742,462, net of accumulated depreciation. This represents a broad range of capital assets including, but not limited to land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, vehicles, and water, wastewater treatment, and wastewater collection systems. Capital assets increased approximately 17% during 2011 primarily due to the completion of the new fire department facility. The Capital Projects Fund expenditure for this facility in 2011 was approximately $2.5 million. A management review of annual depreciation for capital assets was completed during the fiscal year and identified approximately $665,000 of depreciation that had over accumulated through the end of fiscal year 2010. Beginning fiscal year 2011 accumulated depreciation and net assets have been adjusted accordingly. Additional information about capital assets may be found in Note 5 in the notes to financial statements. Debt administration Long-Term Debt - at the end of the current fiscal year the consolidated District had $7,789,214 of general obligation bonds, contractual obligation bonds, notes payable, capital lease obligations, and accrued compensated absences, a decrease of 14% from the previous fiscal year. Of this amount, $7,511,201 is backed by the full faith and credit of the government. The District had no new debt for fiscal year 2011.

Expenses: The District's 2012 operational expense is budgeted to increase by $1,228,358. • The majority of the increase is related to capital expenses and the four year plan to replace all existing meter heads ($85,000). • Bulk water budget is to increase $310,000 due to the increase in new construction residential homes. Overall: The District's2012 operational budget is anticipated to have expenses of $7,406,912 on revenues of $7,141,830 resulting in a $265,082 use of reserves. Debt Service: • Budgeted 2012 debt service revenues are budgeted to decrease from $1,498,059 in fiscal 2011 to $870,300 in fiscal 2012, a decrease of $627,759, or 41.9%. • Debt service appropriations will decrease from $1,498,059 to $870,300 due to two bond issues being paid off in fiscal year 2011. The consolidated District's overall budget for revenue increased from $7,275,586 in fiscal 2011 to $8,012,130 in fiscal 2012 a 10.12% increase. The overall appropriations increased from $7,554,975 to $8,277,212 a 9.56% increase. 9 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 10 Requests for information This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of the District's consolidated finances for all interested parties.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. General Statement Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the District) was created by an order of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) (formerly the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission) on March 4, 1975 and confirmed by the electorate of the District at a confirmation election on October 7, 1975. The Board of Director's held its first meeting on April 24, 1975. The Bonds were first sold on June 8, 1976. The District operates pursuant to Article XVI, Chapter 59 of the Texas Constitution and Chapter 54 of the Texas Water Code, as amended. On May 9, 2009, citizens voted to consolidate the District and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 (MUD2). As a result, the District reports consolidated activity and balances for the District and the entities formerly known as MUD2 and the Trophy Club Master District Joint Venture (a joint venture of MUD 1 and MUD2). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for the District. The financial statements of the District have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. B. Financial Reporting Entity As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements include the activities of the District and any organizations for which the District is financially accountable or for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The definition of the reporting entity is based primarily on the notion of financial accountability. A primary government is financially accountable for the organizations that make up its legal entity. It is also financially accountable for legally separate organizations if its officials appoint a voting majority of an organization's governing body and either it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific financial burdens on, the primary government. A primary government may also be financially accountable for governmental organizations that are fiscally dependent on it. A primary government has the ability to impose its will on an organization if it can significantly influence the programs, projects, or activities of, or the level of services performed or provided by, the organization. A financial benefit or burden relationship exists if the primary government (a) is entitled to the organization's resources; (b) is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization; or (c) is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization. Some organizations are included as component units because of their fiscal dependency on the primary government. An organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government if it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval by the primary government. Accordingly, the District has no component units. 17 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED C. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all of the activities of the District, except for fiduciary funds. The effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The activities of the District are comprised only of governmental activities. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given program are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific program. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given program and 2) operating or capital grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Fund Financial Statements The District segregates transactions related to certain functions or activities in separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. These statements present each major fund as a separate column on the fund financial statements. The District does not report any non-major funds. Governmental funds are those funds through which most governmental functions typically are financed. The measurement focus of governmental funds is on the sources, uses and balance of current financial resources. The District has presented the following major governmental funds: General Fund The General Fund is the main operating fund of the District. This fund is used to account for all financial resources not accounted for in other funds. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund. Debt Service Fund The Debt Service Fund is used to account for resources accumulated and payments made for principal and interest on the long-term debt of governmental funds. Capital Projects Fund The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for funds received and expended for the acquisition and construction of infrastructure and other capital assets. 18 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The government-wide statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The economic resources measurement focus means all assets and liabilities (whether current or non-current) are included on the statement of net assets and the operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned. Expenses are recognized at the time the liability is incurred. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual; i.e., when they become both measurable and available. "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The District considers receivables collected within sixty days after year-end to be available and recognizes them as revenues of the current year. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due. The revenues susceptible to accrual are interest income and ad valorem taxes. All other governmental fund revenues are recognized when received. E. Cash and Investments The District's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The District's investment policy requires that all monies be deposited with the authorized District depository or in (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities; (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3) other obligations, the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the United States; (4) obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state having been rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a rating of not less than A or its equivalent; (5) certificates of deposit by state and national banks domiciled in this state that are (A) guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit 19 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED E. Cash and Investments - Continued Insurance Corporation, or its successor; or, (B) secured by obligations that are described by (1) - (4); or, (6) fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a defined termination date, secured by obligations described by (1), pledged with third party selected or approved by the District, and placed through a primary government securities dealer. All investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. F. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, and equipment, are reported in the government-wide financial statements. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are valued at their fair market value on the date donated. Repairs and maintenance are recorded as expenses. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Interest has not been capitalized during the construction period on property, plant and equipment. Assets capitalized have an original cost of $5,000 or more and over one year of useful life. Depreciation has been calculated on each class of depreciable property using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings 50 Years Improvements other than buildings 15-30 Years Machinery and equipment 5-15 Years Vehicles 6-12 Years Water and wastewater systems 30 - 65 Years G. Accumulated Vacation, Compensated Time and Sick Leave The District has no employees of its own, but instead, personnel services are furnished under a contract with the Town of Trophy Club, Texas. The District records an allocation of personnel costs from the Town in personnel expense accounts rather than as single line item payable to the Town. Accordingly, the District also records current payroll and an allocation in compensated absences earned by the personnel assigned to it. The District reports this liability using the Town's vacation policy; however, the Town retains primary liability for its employee vacation pay. 20 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICffiS - CONTINUED H. Organizational Costs The District, in conformance with requirements of the TCEQ, capitalized costs incurred in the creation of the District. The TCEQ requires capitalization of organizational costs for the construction period, all costs incurred in the issue and sale of bonds, bond interest and amortized bond premium and discount losses on sales of investments, accrued interest on investments purchased, attorney fees and some administrative expenses until construction and acceptance or use of the first revenue producing facility has occurred. The District amortizes the organizational costs using the straight-line method over a period of 22 to 45 years. I. Net Assets Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets, and adding back unspent proceeds. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislations adopted by the District or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments. J. Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses/expenditures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. K. Fund Balances The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions (GASB 54). This Statement defines the different types of fund balances that a governmental entity must use for financial reporting purposes in the fund financial statements for governmental type funds. It does not apply for the government-wide financial statements. GASB 54 requires the fund balance amounts to be properly reported within one of the following fund balance categories: Nonspendable - such as fund balance associated with inventories, prepaids, long-term loans and notes receivable, and property held for resale (unless the proceeds are restricted, committed, or assigned) 21 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED K. Fund Balances - Continued Restricted - fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation, Committed - fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the Board of Directors (the district's highest level of decision-making authority), Assigned - fund balance classification are intended to be used by the government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed, and Unassigned - fund balance is the residual classification for the government's general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications, and other fund's that have total negative fund balances. NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS The funds of the District must be deposited and invested under the terms of a contract, contents of which are set out in the Depository Contract Law. The depository bank places approved pledged securities for safekeeping and trust with the District's agent bank in an amount sufficient to protect District funds on a day-to-day basis during the period of the contract. The pledge of approved securities is waived only to the extent of the depository bank's dollar amount of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance. At September 30, 2011, the carrying amount of the District's deposits (cash, certificates of deposit, and interest-bearing savings accounts included in temporary investments) was $619,096 and the bank balance was $848,446. The District's cash deposits at September 30, 2011, and during the year then ended were entirely covered by FDIC insurance or by pledged collateral held by the District's agent bank in the District's name. The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific provisions in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of appropriate policies. Among other things, it requires the District to adopt, implement, and publicize an investment policy. That policy must address the following areas; (1) safety of principal and liquidity, (2) portfolio diversification, (3) allowable investments, (4) acceptable risk levels, (5) expected rates of return, (6) maximum allowable stated maturity of portfolio investments, (7) maximum average dollar-weighted maturity, allowed based on the stated maturity date for the portfolio, (8) investment staff quality and capabilities, (9) and bid solicitation preferences for certificates of deposit. 22 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED Statutes and the District's investment policy authorized the District to invest in the following investments as summarized below: Maximum Maximum Authorized Maximum Percentage Investment Investment Type Maturity of Portfolio In One Issuer U.S. Treasury Obligations 2 years 85% NA U.S. Agencies Securities 2 years 85% NA State of Texas Securities 2 years 85% NA Certificates of Deposits 2 years 85% NA Municipal Securities 2 years 85% NA Money Market 2 years 50% NA Mutual Funds 2 years 50% NA Investment pools 2 years 100% NA The Act also requires the District to have independent auditors perform test procedures related to investment practices as provided by the Act. The District is in substantial compliance with the requirements of the Act and with local policies. Cash and investments as of September 30, 2011 are classified in the accompanying financial statements as follows: Statement of Net Assets Primary Government: Cash and cash equivalents $3,514,926 Total cash and investments $ 3,514,926 Cash and investments as of September 30, 2011 consist of the following: Deposits with financial institutions $ 619,096 Investments 2,895,830 Total cash and investments $ 3,514,926 The District's cash and investments balance includes $187,087 which is restricted for customer deposits. 23 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the District manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by investing mainly in investment pools which purchase a combination of shorter term investments with an average maturity of less than 60 days thus reducing the interest rate risk. The District monitors the interest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by measuring the weighted average maturity of its portfolio. The District has no specific limitations with respect to this metric. As of September 30, 2011, the District had the following investment: Investment Type Amount Weighted Average Maturity TexPool Total Investments $ 2,895,830 $ 2,895,830 34 days As of September 30, 2011, the District did not invest in any securities which are highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the Public Funds Investment Act, the District's investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type. Investment Type Amount Minimum Legal Rating Rating as of Year End TexPool $ 2,895,830 N/A AAAm Total Investments 2,895,830 Concentration of Credit Risk The investment policy of the District contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer. As of September 30, 2011, other than external investment pools, the District did not have 5% or more of its investments with one issuer. 24 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The Public Funds Investment Act and the District's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The Public Funds Investment Act requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least the bank balance less FDIC insurance at all times. As of September 30, 2011 the District deposits with financial institutions were not in excess of federal depository insurance limits. Investment in State Investment Pools The District is a voluntary participant in TexPool. The State Comptroller of Public Accounts exercises responsibility over TexPool. This oversight includes the ability to significantly influence operations, designation of management, and accountability for fiscal matters. Additionally, the State Comptroller has established an advisory board composed of both participants in TexPool and other persons who do not have a business relationship with TexPool. TexPool operates in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. TexPool uses amortized costs rather than market value to report net assets to compute share prices. Accordingly, the fair value of the position in TexPool is the same as the value of TexPool shares. 25 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 3.

PROPERTY TAXES Property taxes are levied as of October 1, on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1, for all real and certain personal property located in the District and MUD2 (the "Districts"). The appraisal of property within the District is the responsibility of Denton Appraisal District (Appraisal District) as required by legislation passed by the Texas legislature. The Appraisal District is required under such legislation to assess all property within the Appraisal District on the basis of 100% of its appraised value and is prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. The value of property within the Appraisal District must be reviewed every five years; however, the District may, at its own expense, require annual reviews of appraised values. The Districts may challenge appraised values established by the Appraisal District through various appeals and, if necessary, legal action. Property taxes for the Districts are not limited as to rate or amount. In an election held October 7, 1975, the electorate of the Districts authorized the levy of up to $0.25 per $100 valuation per District for the operations and maintenance of the Districts. Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1, following the levy date. Taxes are due by January 31, following the levy date. Property taxes are recorded as receivables when levied. Following is information regarding the 2011 tax levies: Adjusted taxable values $ 993,169,500 O & M Fire tax levy $0.11804/$ 100 1,284,669 I & S tax levy $0.07696/$ 100 763,303 Total tax levy $0.1950/$100 $ 2,047,972 32 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 33 NOTE 8.

Excluding unassigned fund balances, the following describes the District's fund balance classifications at September 30, 2011: Non-Spendable Fund Balances Non-Spendable Fund Balance of $7,755 for the General Fund represents assets not in spendable form. Assigned Fund Balances The District assigned $265,082 of General Fund fund balances to offset expected fiscal year 2012 budgetary deficits for general operations and the fire department. The District assigned a total of $556,175 of General Fund fund balances for the following: $21,000 for water plant equipment, $219,414 for future technology acquisitions, and $315,761 for fiscal year 2012 expected transfers to the Capital Projects Fund. Fund Balance Deficits The Capital Projects Fund has a fund balance deficit at September 30, 2011 of $302,466. In fiscal year 2012, the District intends to transfer funds from the General Fund to eliminate the deficit. NOTE 9. RISK MANAGEMENT The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; business interruption; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; employee health benefits; and other claims of various nature. Commercial insurance is purchased for the risks of loss to which the District is exposed. Any losses reported but unsettled or incurred and not reported, are believed to be insignificant to the District's basic financial statements. Additionally, the District must operate in compliance with rules and regulations mandated for public water supply systems by federal and state governments. The District is subject to compliance oversight by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Fiscal Year 2011 TCEQ Compliance In October of 2011, the District notified TCEQ of inaccuracies in previously submitted, monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's). The inaccuracies related to the laboratory measurement results for Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (CBOD). The District submitted corrected DMR's to TCEQ, but has not been formally notified by TCEQ of the resulting action, if any, that will occur due to the reported inaccuracies.

The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the terms and provisions of an order (the "Bond Order") of the Board of Directors of the District (the "Board") and in accordance with the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas (the "State"), including particularly Chapter 1207, Texas Government Code, as amended ("Chapter 1207"). In the Bond Order, the District delegated pricing of the Bonds and certain other matters to a "Pricing Officer" who approved a "Pricing Certificate" which contains the final terms of sale and completed the sale of the Bonds (the Bond Order and the Pricing Certificate are jointly referred to herein as the "Order"). (See "THE BONDS - Security for Payment" herein.) Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this Official Statement have the same meaning assigned to such terms in the Order. Included in this Official Statement are descriptions of the Bonds, the Order, and certain information about the District and its finances. ALL DESCRIPTIONS OF DOCUMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE SUMMARIES ONLY AND ARE QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO EACH SUCH DOCUMENT. Copies of such documents may be obtained from the District or Financial Advisor. PLAN OF FINANCING Purpose Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds are being used to (i) refund for debt service savings the District's outstanding Unlimited Tax Bonds, Series 2002 (the "Refunded Bonds") (see "Schedule I - Schedule Of Refunded Bonds" attached hereto) and (ii) to pay the costs related to the issuance of the Bonds. Refunded Bonds A description and identification of the Refunded Bonds appears in Schedule I attached hereto. The Refunded Bonds, and interest due thereon, are to be paid on September 1, 2012 (the "Redemption Date"), from funds to be deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas (the "Escrow Agent") or its successor. The Order approves and authorizes the execution of an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") between the District and the Escrow Agent. The Order provides that, from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds received from the Underwriter, the District will deposit the amount necessary to accomplish the discharge and final payment of tfre;Refunded Bonds on the Redemption Date. Such funds will be held uninvested by the Escrow Agent pending their disbursement to redeem the Refunded Bonds on the Redemption Date. The Escrow Agent, as the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds, will determine and certify at the time of delivery of the Bonds that the amounts deposited to the Escrow Fund will equal an amount sufficient to pay, on the scheduled Redemption Date, the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds. Under the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Fund is irrevocably pledged to the payment of principal of and interest on the Refunded Obligations and amounts therein will not be available to pay the Bonds. By deposit of the funds with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the District will have effected the defeasance of all of the Refunded Bonds in accordance with Texas law. As a result of such defeasance, the Refunded Bonds will be outstanding only for the purpose of receiving payments from the funds held for such purpose by the Escrow Agent and such Refunded Bonds will not be deemed as being outstanding obligations of the District payable from taxes nor for the purpose of applying any limitation on the issuance of debt, and the obligation of the District to make payments in support of the debt service on the Refunded Bonds will be extinguished. 1 SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be applied approximately as follows: Sources of Funds Par Amount of Bonds $2,355,000.00 Accrued Interest on the Bonds 675.00 Original Issue Premium 136.075.20 Total Sources of Funds $2.491.750.20 Uses of Funds Deposit to Escrow Fund $2,411,156.25 Cost of Issuance 55,000.00 Underwriter's Discount 20,817.50 Accrued Interest Deposit to Debt Service Fund 675.00 Additional Proceeds Deposit to the Debt Service Fund 4.101.45 Total Uses of Funds $2.491.750.20 THE BONDS General Description The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form in principal denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof within a stated maturity. The Bonds shall bear interest from the March 1, 2012 on the unpaid principal amounts, and the amount of interest to be paid each payment period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Bonds will be payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year commencing September 1, 2012, until maturity or prior redemption. Principal of the Bonds is payable at the designated offices of the Paying Agent/Registrar, initially The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas; provided, however, that so long as Cede & Co. (or other DTC nominee) is the registered owner of the Bonds, all payments will be made as described under "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein. Interest on the Bonds shall be paid to the registered owners whose names appear on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the Record Date (as hereinafter defined) and shall be paid by the Paying Agent/Registrar (i) by check sent United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address of the registered owner recorded in the Security Register or (ii) by such other method, acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar, requested by, and at the risk and expense of, the registered owner. If the date for any payment on the Bonds shall be a Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday or a day when banking institutions in the city where the designated payment/transfer office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized to be closed, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not such a day, and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the date payment was due. Authority for Issuance The Bonds are issued by the District pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Order and the Constitution and general laws of the State, particularly Chapter 1207. Security for Payment The Bonds will constitute valid and legally binding direct obligations of the District payable from the proceeds of a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax levied by the District against all taxable property located therein, without legal limit as to rate or amount. The Order irrevocably pledges such ad valorem taxes to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds while the same remain outstanding. Neither the State of Texas, Denton or Tarrant Counties, Texas nor any political subdivision or municipality, other than the District shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Texas or Denton or Tarrant Counties, Texas or any political subdivision or municipality thereof, other than the District, is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on or the redemption price of the Bonds. Tax Pledge: The Board covenants in the Order that, while any of the Bonds are outstanding and the District is in existence, it will levy and assess a continuing ad valorem tax upon each $100 valuation of taxable property within the District at a rate from year to year sufficient, full allowance being made for anticipated delinquencies, together with revenues and receipts from other sources which are legally available for such purposes, to pay interest on the Bonds as it becomes due, to provide for the payment of principal of the Bonds when due or the redemption price at any earlier redemption date, to pay when due any other contractual obligations of the District payable in whole or in part from taxes, and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such tax. The Board additionally covenants in the Order to timely assess and collect such tax. The net proceeds from taxes levied to pay debt service on the Bonds are required to be placed in a special account of the District designated as the "Debt Service Fund" for the Bonds. 2 Abolition: Under Texas law, If a district is located wholly in two or more municipalities and in an unincorporated area, the district may be abolished by agreement among the district and all of the municipalities in which parts of the district are located. The abolition agreement must provide for the distribution of assets and liabilities (including the Bonds) of the abolished district. The agreement must also provide for the distribution among one or more of the municipalities the pro rata assets and liabilities located in the unincorporated area and must provide for service to customers in unincorporated areas in the service area of the abolished district. The municipality that provides the service in the unincorporated area may charge its usual and customary fees and assessments to the customers in that area. No representation is made concerning the likelihood of abolition or the ability of the municipalities which contain parts of the District to make debt service payments on the Bonds should abolition occur. Consolidation: A district (such as the District) has the legal authority to consolidate with other municipal utility districts and in connection therewith, to provide for the consolidation of its assets, such as cash and the utility system, with the water and wastewater systems of districts with which it is consolidating as well as its liabilities (which would include the Bonds). The District is the resulting entity from a consolidation in May 2009 of Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 (see "THE DISTRICT"). Payment Record The District has never defaulted on the timely payment of principal of and interest on its general obligation indebtedness. Flow of Funds and Investment of Funds The Bond Order creates a Debt Service Fund. The Debt Service Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the District. Any cash balance in the Debt Service Fund must be continuously secured, to the extent that the United States or an instrumentality of the United States does not insure the cash balance, by a valid pledge to the District of securities eligible under the laws of Texas to secure the funds of municipal utility districts having an aggregate market value, exclusive of accrued interest, at all times equal to the cash balance in the fund to which such securities are pledged. The Bond Order establishes the Debt Service Fund to be used to pay principal and interest on the Bonds. The Bond Order requires that the District deposit to the credit of the Debt Service Fund (i) from the delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser, the amount received from proceeds of the Bonds representing accrued interest, (ii) District ad valorem taxes (and penalties and interest thereon) levied to pay debt service requirements on the Bonds, and (iii) such other funds as the Board shall, at its option, deem advisable. The Bond Order requires that the Debt Service Fund be applied solely to provide for the payment of the principal or redemption price of and interest on the Bonds when due, and to pay fees to the Paying Agent when due. Redemption Provisions Optional Redemption: The District reserves the right, at its option, to redeem the Bonds maturing on and after September 1, 2021 on September 1, 2020, or any date thereafter, in whole or in part, in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (and, if within a stated maturity, selected at random and by lot by the Paying Agent/Registrar), at the redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to a redemption date for the Bonds, the District shall cause a notice of such redemption to be sent by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the registered owners of each Bond or a portion thereof to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice. With respect to any optional redemption of the Bonds, unless certain prerequisites to such redemption required by the Order have been met and money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to be redeemed will have^en received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice will state that said redemption may, at the option of the District, be conditional upon the satisfaction of such prerequisites and receipt of such money by the Paying Agent/Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption or upon any prerequisite set forth in such notice of redemption. If a conditional notice of redemption is given and such prerequisites to the redemption are not fulfilled, such notice will be of no force and effect, the District will not redeem such Bonds, and the Paying Agent/Registrar will give notice in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that such Bonds have not been redeemed. ANY NOTICE OF REDEMPTION SO MAILED TO THE REGISTERED OWNERS WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN DULY GIVEN IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER RECEIVED BY ANY HOLDER OF THE BONDS, AND, SUBJECT TO PROVISION FOR PAYMENT OF THE REDEMPTION PRICE HAVING BEEN MADE, AND ANY PRECONDITIONS STATED IN THE NOTICE OF REDEMPTION HAVING BEEN SATISFIED INTEREST ON THE REDEEMED BONDS SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE FROM AND AFTER SUCH REDEMPTION DATE NOTWITHSTANDING THAT A BOND HAS NOT BEEN PRESENTED FOR PAYMENT. 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 Bonds or portions thereof which are to be so redeemed. If such notice of redemption is given and if due provision for such payment is made, all as provided above, the Bonds or portion thereof which are to be redeemed thereby automatically shall be treated as redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, and they shall not bear interest after the date fixed for redemption, and they shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the registered owner to receive the redemption price from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. 3 The Paying Agent/Registrar and the Issuer, so long as a Book-Entry-Only System is used for the Bonds, will send any notice of redemption, notice of proposed amendment to the Bonds or other notices with respect to the Bonds only to DTC. Any failure by DTC to advise any DTC participant, or of any DTC participant or indirect participant to notify the Beneficial Owner, will not affect the validity of the redemption of the Bonds called for redemption or any other action premised on any such notice. Redemption of portions of the Bonds by the Issuer will reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Bonds held by DTC. In such event, DTC may implement, through its Book-Entry-Only System, a redemption of such Bonds held for the account of DTC participants in accordance with its rules or other agreements with DTC participants and then DTC participants and indirect participants may implement a redemption of such Bonds from the Beneficial Owners. Any such selection of Bonds to be redeemed will not be governed by the Order and will not be conducted by the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent/Registrar will have any responsibility to DTC participants, indirect participants or the persons for whom DTC participants act as nominees, with respect to the payments on the Bonds or the providing of notice to DTC participants, indirect participants, or Beneficial Owners of the selection of portions of the Bonds for redemption. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.) Termination of Book-Entry-Only System The District is initially utilizing the book-entry-only system of the DTC. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.) In the event that the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued by DTC or the District, the following provisions will be applicable to the Bonds. Payment: Principal of the Bonds will be payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption to the registered owners as shown by the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds to the Paying Agent at the designated office for payment of the Paying Agent/Registrar in Dallas, Texas (the "Designated Payment/Transfer Office"). Interest on the Bonds will be payable by check or draft, dated as of the applicable interest payment date, sent by the Paying Agent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the registered owners at their respective addresses shown on such records, or by such other method acceptable to the Paying Agent requested by registered owner at the risk and expense of the registered owner. If the date for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds shall be a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day on which banking institutions in the city where the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent is located are required or authorized by law or executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day on which banking institutions are required or authorized to close, and payment on such date shall for all purposes be deemed to have been made on the original date payment was due. Initially, the only registered owner of the Bonds will be CEDE & CO. as nominee of DTC. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.) Registration: The Bonds may be transferred and re-registered on the registration books of the Paying Agent only upon presentation and surrender thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office. A Bond also may be exchanged for a Bond or Bonds of like maturity and interest and having a like aggregate principal amount upon presentation and surrender at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office. All Bonds surrendered for transfer or exchange must be endorsed for assignment by the execution by the registered owner or his duly authorized agent of an assignment form on the Bonds or other instruction of transfer acceptable to the Paying Agent. Transfer and exchange of Bonds will be without expense or service charge to the registered owner, except for any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. A new Bond or Bonds, in lieu of the Bond being transferred or exchanged, will be delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the registered owner, at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar or by United States mail, first-class, postage prepaid. To the extent possible, new Bonds issued in an exchange or transfer of Bonds will be delivered to the registered owner not more than three (3) business days after the receipt of the Bonds to be canceled in the exchange or transfer and the denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. (See "BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein for a description of the system to be initially utilized in regard to ownership and transferability of the Bonds.) Limitations on Transfer of Bonds: Neither the District nor the Paying Agent shall be required to make any transfer, conversion or exchange to an assignee of the registered owner of the Bonds (i) during the period commencing on the close of business on the 15th calendar day of the month preceding each interest payment date (the "Record Date") and ending with the opening of business on the next following principal or interest payment date or (ii) with respect to any Bond called for redemption, in whole or in part, within forty- five (45) days of the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, such limitation of transfer shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled balance of a Bond. Replacement Bonds: If a Bond is mutilated, the Paying Agent will provide a replacement Bond in exchange for the mutilated bond. If a Bond is destroyed, lost or stolen, the Paying Agent will provide a replacement Bond upon (i) the filing by the registered owner with the Paying Agent of evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent of the destruction, loss or theft of the Bond and the authenticity of he registered owner's ownership and (ii) the furnishing to the Paying Agent of indemnification in an amount satisfactory to hold the District and the Paying Agent harmless. All expenses and charges associated with such indemnity and with the preparation, execution and delivery of a replacement Bond must be borne by the registered owner. The provisions of the Order relating to the replacement Bonds are exclusive and the extent lawful, preclude all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds. Defeasance of Outstanding Bonds The Order provides for the defeasance of the Bonds when payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on Bonds, plus interest thereon to the due date thereof (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, redemption, or otherwise), is provided by irrevocably depositing with a paying agent, in trust (1) money sufficient to make such payment or (2) Defeasance Securities, certified by an independent public accounting firm of national reputation to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts 4 and at such times to insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to make such payment, and all necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of the paying agent for the respective series of Bonds. The Order provides that "Defeasance Securities" means (1) direct, noncallable obligations of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, (2) noncallable obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent, (3) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent and (4) any other then authorized securities or obligations under applicable Texas state law that may be used to defease obligation such as the Bonds. There is no assurance that the current law will not be changed in a manner which would permit investments other than those described above to be made with amounts deposited to defease the Bonds. Because the Order does not contractually limit such investments, registered owners will be deemed to have consented to defeasance with such other investments, notwithstanding the fact that such investments may not be of the same investment quality as those currently permitted under State law. There is no assurance that any particular rating for U.S. Treasury securities used as Government Securities or the rating for any other Government Security will be maintained at any particular rating category. The District has additionally reserved the right, subject to satisfying the requirements of (1) and (2) above, to substitute other Defeasance Securities for the Defeasance Securities originally deposited, to reinvest the uninvested moneys on deposit for such defeasance and to withdraw for the benefit of the District moneys in excess of the amount required for such defeasance. Upon such deposit as described above, such Bonds shall no longer be regarded to be outstanding or unpaid. After firm banking and financial arrangements for the discharge and final payment or redemption of the Bonds have been made as described above, all rights of the District to initiate proceedings to call the Bonds for redemption or take any other action amending the terms of the Bonds are extinguished; provided, however, that the right to call the Bonds for redemption is not extinguished if the District: (i) in the proceedings providing for the firm banking and financial arrangements, expressly reserves the right to call the Bonds for redemption; (ii) gives notice of the reservation of that right to the owners of the Bonds immediately following the making of the firm banking and financial arrangements; and (iii) directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorize. Paying Agent/Registrar Principal of and semiannual interest on the Bonds will be paid by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Dallas, Texas, the initial Paying Agent/Registrar (the "Paying Agent"). The Paying Agent must be a bank, trust company, financial institution or other entity duly qualified and equally authorized to serve and perform the duties as paying agent and registrar for the Bonds. Provision is made in the Order for the District to replace the Paying Agent by a resolution of the District giving notice to the Paying Agent of the termination of the appointment, stating the effective date of the termination and appointing a successor Paying Agent. If the Paying Agent is replaced by the District, the new Paying Agent shall be required to accept the previous Paying Agent's records and act in the same capacity as the previous Paying Agent. Any successor paying agent/registrar selected by the District shall be subject to the same qualification requirements as the Paying Agent. The successor paying agent/registrar, if any, shall be determined by the Board of Directors and written notice thereof, specifying the name and address of such successor paying agent/registrar will be sent by the District or the successor paying agent/registrar to each Registered Owner by first-class mail, postage prepaid. Record Date The record date for payment of the interest on Bonds on any regularly scheduled interest payment date is defined as the fifteenth day of the month preceding such interest payment date. Issuance of Additional Debt The District may issue bonds necessary to construct waterworks and sewer system improvements and facilities for which the District was created and to provide fire protection to the District, with the approval of the District's voters. Following the issuance of the Bonds, $5,769,217 unlimited tax bonds authorized by the District's voters will remain unissued. The District has no plans to issue additional general obligation debt within the next twelve months. In addition, voters may authorize the issuance of additional bonds or other contractual obligations secured by ad valorem taxes. Neither Texas law nor the Order imposes a limitation on the amount of additional debt which may be issued by the District. Any additional debt issued by the District may dilute the security of the Bonds. (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS" herein.) The District may also issue bonds secured by revenues of the water and sewer system or other revenues of the District (other than ad valorem tax revenues ) without voter approval. 5 Specific Tax Covenants In the Order the District has covenanted with respect to, among other matters, the use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the property re-financed therewith by persons other than state or local governmental units, and the manner in which the proceeds of the Bonds are to be invested. The District may cease to comply with any such covenant if it has received a written opinion of a nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under Section 103 of the Code. Additional Covenants The District has additionally covenanted in the Order that it will keep accurate records and accounts and employ an independent certified public accountant to audit and report on its financial affairs at the close of each fiscal year, such audits to be in accordance with applicable law, rules and regulations and open to inspection in the office of the District. Remedies in Event of Default The Order provides that, in addition to all other rights and remedies of any owner of Bonds provided by the laws of the State of Texas, in the event the District defaults in the observance or performance of any covenant in the Order including payment when due of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, any Bond owner may apply for a writ of mandamus from a court of competent jurisdiction requiring the Board of Directors or other officers of the District to observe or perform such covenants. The Order provides no additional remedies to a Bond owner. Specifically, the Order does not provide for an appointment of a trustee to protect and enforce the interests of the Bond owners or for the acceleration of maturity of the Bonds upon the occurrence of a default in the District's obligations. Consequently, the remedy of mandamus is a remedy, which may have to be enforced from year to year by the Bond owners (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Registered Owners' Remedies".). Under Texas law, no judgment obtained against the District may be enforced by execution of a levy against the District's public purpose property. The Bond owners themselves cannot foreclose on property within the District or sell property within the District in order to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds. In addition, the enforceability of the rights and remedies of the Bond owners may be limited by federal bankruptcy laws or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions. (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights".) The opinion of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the Order and the Bonds are qualified to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors Amendments to the Order The District may without the consent of or notice to any Bond owners amend the Order in any manner not detrimental to the interest of the Bond owners, including the curing of an ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal defect or omission therein. In addition, the District may, with the written consent of the owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding affected thereby, amend, add to, or rescind any of the provisions of the Order, except that, without the consent of the owners of all of the Bonds affected, no such amendment, addition, or rescission may (1) change the time or times of payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, change the place or places at, or the coin or currency in which, any Bond or the interest thereon is payable, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, (2) affect the right of the owners of less than all of the Bonds outstanding, or (3) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Bonds required for consent to any such amendment, addition, or rescission. In addition, a state, consistent with federal law, may in the exercise of its police powers make such modifications in the terms and conditions of contractual covenants relating to the payment of indebtedness of its political subdivisions as are reasonable and necessary for attainment of an important public purpose. RATINGS The District received a rating on the Bonds of "AA-" from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC business ("S&P"). An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from the company furnishing the rating. The rating reflects only the respective view of such companies, and the District makes no representation as to the appropriateness of the rating. There is no assurance that such rating will continue for any given period of time or that it will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by any such rating company, if, in the judgment of such company circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM This section describes how ownership of the Bonds is to be transferred and how the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds are to be paid to and credited by the Depository Trust Company while the Bonds are registered in its nominee's name. The information in this section concerning DTC and the Book-Entry-Only System has been provided by DTC for use in disclosure documents such as this Official Statement. The District and the Underwriter believe the source of such information to be reliable, but take no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. 6 The District and the Underwriter cannot and do not give any assurance? the (1) DTC will distribute payments of debt service on the Bonds, or redemption or other notices, to DTC Participant, (2) DTC Participants or others will distribute debt service payments paid to DTC or its nominee (as the registered owner of the Bonds), or redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that they will do so on a timely basis, or (3) DTC will sa/ve and act in the manner described in this Official Statement. The current rules applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the current procedures of DTC to be followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on file with DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of each maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation", within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of certificated securities. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC is rated "AA-" by Standard & Poor's. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org. Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of Bonds ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive Bonds representing their ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of the notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the Record Date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar, on the payable date in accordance with their 7 respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC nor its nominee, the Paying Agent/Registrar, or the Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of the Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Bonds are required to be printed and delivered to DTC Participants or the Beneficial Owners, as the case may be. The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bonds will be printed and delivered. (See "THE BONDS - Termination of Book-Entry-Only System" herein.) The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the Issuer and Underwriter believe to be reliable, but the Issuer and the Underwriter take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections of this Official Statement In reading this Official Statement it should be understood that while the Bonds are in the Book-Entry-Only System, references in other sections of this Official Statement to registered owners should be read to include the person for which the Direct or Indirect Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds, but (i) all rights of ownership must be exercised through DTC and the Book-Entry- Only System, and (ii) except as described above, notices that are to be given to registered owners under the Order will be given only to DTC. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS General The Bonds are obligations of the District and are not obligations of the Town of Trophy Club, State of Texas, Denton County, Tarrant County or any other political subdivision except the District. The Bonds are payable from a continuing, direct, annual ad valorem tax, without legal limitations as to rate or amount, on all taxable property within the District. (See "THE BONDS - Security for Payment" herein.) The investment quality of the Bonds depends both on the ability of the District to collect from the property owners all taxes levied against their property or, in the event of foreclosure, the value of the taxable property with respect to taxes levied by the District and by other taxing authorities. Approval of the Bonds The Attorney General of Texas must approve the legality of the Bonds prior to their delivery. The Attorney General of Texas does not pass upon or guarantee the quality of the Bonds as an investment, nor does he pass upon the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this Official Statement. Factors Affecting Taxable Values and Tax Payments Economic Factors and Interest Rates: A substantial percentage of the taxable value of the District results from the current market value of single-family residences and developed lots. The market value of such homes and lots is related to general economic conditions affecting the demand for and taxable value of residences. Demand for lots and residential dwellings can be significantly affected by factors such as interest rates, credit availability, construction costs, energy availability and the prosperity and demographic characteristics of the urban center toward which the marketing of lots is directed. Decreased levels of construction activity, which has been experienced in the District for the last several years, tend to restrict the growth of property values in the District or could adversely impact existing values. Interest rates and the availability of mortgage and development funding have a direct impact on the construction activity, particularly short-term interest rates at which developers and homebuilders are able to obtain financing for development and construction costs. Interest rate levels may affect the ability of a landowner with undeveloped property to undertake and complete development activities within the District. Because of the numerous and changing factors affecting the availability of funds, the District is unable to assess the future availability of such funds for continued development and construction within the District. In addition, the success of development within the District and growth of District's taxable property values are, to a great extent, a function of the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan and regional economics. Impact on District Tax Rates: Assuming no further development, the value of the land and improvements currently within the District will be the major determinant of the ability or willingness of District property owners to pay their taxes. The 2011 certified net taxable assessed valuation (ARB Approved) of the District (see page vii "SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION") is $954,645,475. After issuance of the Bonds the projected maximum annual debt service requirement will be $840,519 (2012) 8 and the projected average annual debt service requirement will be $463,404 (2012 through 2031, inclusive). Assuming no increase or decrease from the 2011 assessed valuation and no use of funds on hand, a tax rate of $0.08893 per $100 assessed valuation at a 99% collection rate would be necessary to pay the projected maximum annual debt service requirement of $840,519 and a tax rate of $0.04903 per $100 assessed valuation-si a 99% collection rate would be necessary to pay the projected average annual debt service requirement of $463,404. After a transfer of $308,000, representing Fire Department rental income, the District's 2011 debt service tax rate is $0.05586 per $100 assessed valuation. (See "APPENDIX A - TABLES 4 and 5" herein. Tax Collections and Foreclosure Remedies The District's ability to make debt service payments may be adversely affected by its inability to collect ad valorem taxes. Under Texas law, the levy of ad valorem taxes by the District constitutes a lien in favor of the District on a parity with the liens of all other state and local taxing authorities on the property against which taxes are levied, and such lien may be enforced by foreclosure. The District's ability to collect ad valorem taxes through such foreclosure may be impaired by (a) cumbersome, time-consuming and expensive collection procedures, (b) a bankruptcy court's stay of tax collection procedure against a taxpayer, or (c) market conditions limiting the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of taxable property. While the District has a lien on taxable property within the District for taxes levied against such property, such lien can be foreclosed only in a judicial proceeding. Because ownership of the land within the District is highly fragmented among a number of taxpayers, attorney's fees, and other costs of collecting any such taxpayer's delinquencies could substantially reduce the net proceeds to the District from a tax foreclosure sale. Finally, any bankruptcy court with jurisdiction over the bankruptcy proceedings initiated by or against a taxpayer within the District pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code could stay any attempt by the District to collect delinquent ad valorem taxes against such taxpayer. Consolidation A district (such as the District) has the legal authority to consolidate with other municipal utility districts and, in connection therewith, to provide for the consolidation of its assets, such as its water and wastewater systems with the assets of the district(s) with which it is consolidating, as well as its liabilities (which would include the Bonds and other outstanding obligations of the District). The District is the resulting entity from a consolidation in May 2009 of Prior MUD 1 and Prior MUD 2 (see "THE DISTRICT"). No representation is made that the District will consolidate again in the future with any other district. Abolition Under Texas law, If a district is located wholly in two or more municipalities and in an unincorporated area, the district may be abolished by agreement among the district and all of the municipalities in which parts of the district are located. The abolition agreement must provide for the distribution of assets and liabilities (including the Bonds) of the abolished district. The agreement must also provide for the distribution among one or more of the municipalities the pro rata assets and liabilities located in the unincorporated area and must provide for service to customers in unincorporated areas in the service area of the abolished district. The municipality that provides the service in the unincorporated area may charge its usual and customary fees and assessments to the customers in that area. No representation is made concerning the likelihood of abolition or the ability of the municipalities which contain parts of the District to make debt service payments on the Bonds should abolition occur. Alteration of Boundaries In certain circumstances, under Texas law the District may alter its boundaries to: 1) upon satisfying certain conditions, annex additional territory; and 2) exclude land subject to taxation within the District that is not served by District facilities if the District simultaneously annexes land of equal acreage and value that may be practicably served by District facilities. No representation is made concerning the likelihood that the District would effect any change in its boundaries. Registered Owners' Remedies If the District defaults in the payment of principal, interest or redemption price on the Bonds when due, or if it fails to make payments into any fund or funds created in the Order, or defaults in the observation or performance of any other covenants, conditions or obligations set forth in the Order, the registered owners may seek a writ of mandamus to compel District officials to carry out their legally imposed duties with respect to the Bonds if there is no other available remedy at law to compel performance of the covenants contained in the Bonds or in the Order and the District's obligations are not uncertain or disputed. The remedy of mandamus is controlled by equitable principles and rests with the discretion of the court. The issuance of a writ of mandamus is controlled by equitable principles and rests with the discretion of the court, but may not be arbitrarily refused. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Bonds in the event of default and, consequently, the remedy of mandamus may have to be relied upon from year to year. The Order does not provide for the appointment of a trustee to represent the interest of the bondholders upon any failure of the District to perform in accordance with the terms of the Order, or upon any other condition and accordingly all legal actions to enforce such remedies would have to be undertaken at the initiative of, and be financed by, the registered owners. The Texas Supreme Court has ruled in Tooke v. City of Mexia, 197 S.W.3d 325 (Tex. 2006) that a waiver of sovereign immunity in a contractual dispute must be provided for by statute in "clear and unambiguous" language. 9 Therefore, bondholders may not be able to bring such a suit against the District for breach of the Bonds or Order covenants. Even if a judgment against the District could be obtained, it could not be enforced by direct levy and execution against the District's property. Further, the registered owners cannot themselves foreclose on property within the District or sell property within the District to enforce the tax lien on taxable property to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Bankruptcy Limitation to Registered Owners' Rights The enforceability of the rights and remedies of Bondholders may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions such as the District. Texas law requires a municipal utility district such as the District to obtain the approval of the TCEQ as a condition to seeking relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. If a petitioning district were allowed to proceed voluntarily under Chapter 9 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, it could file a plan for an adjustment of its debts. If such a plan were confirmed by the bankruptcy court, it could, among other things, affect Registered Owners by reducing or eliminating the amount of indebtedness, deferring or rearranging the debt service schedule, reducing or eliminating the interest rate, modifying or abrogating collateral or security arrangements, substituting (in whole or in part) other securities, and otherwise compromising and modifying the rights and remedies of the Registered Owner's claim against a district. Although Chapter 9 provides for the recognition of a security interest represented by a specifically pledged source of revenues, the pledge of ad valorem taxes in support of a general obligation of a bankrupt entity is not specifically recognized as a security interest under Chapter 9 and such provision is subject to judicial construction. Chapter 9 also includes an automatic stay provision that would prohibit, without Bankruptcy Court approval, the prosecution of any other legal action by creditors or Bondholders of an entity which has sought protection under Chapter 9. Therefore, should the District avail itself of Chapter 9 protection from creditors, the ability to enforce would be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (which could require that the action be heard in Bankruptcy Court instead of other federal or state court); and the Bankruptcy Code provides for broad discretionary powers of a Bankruptcy Court in administering any proceeding brought before it. The opinion of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the Bonds are qualified with respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors. A district may not be forced into bankruptcy involuntarily. The Effect of the Financial Institutions Act of 1989 on Tax Collections of the District The "Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989" ("FIRREA"), enacted on August 9, 1989, contains certain provisions which affect the time for protesting property valuations, the fixing of tax liens, and the collection of penalties and interest on delinquent taxes on real property owned by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") when the FDIC is acting as the conservator or receiver of an insolvent financial institution. Under FIRREA real property held by the FDIC is still subject to ad valorem taxation, but such act states (i) that no real property of the FDIC shall be subject to foreclosure or sale without the consent of the FDIC and no involuntary liens shall attach to such property, (ii) the FDIC shall not be liable for any penalties or fines, including those arising from the failure to pay any real or personal property tax when due and (iii) notwithstanding failure of a person to challenge an appraisal in accordance with state law, such value shall be determined as of the period for which such tax is imposed. There has been no definitive judicial determination of the validity of the provisions of FIRREA or how they are to be construed and reconciled with respect to conflicting state laws. However, certain federal court decisions have held that the FDIC is not liable for statutory penalties and interest authorized by State property tax law, and that although a lien for taxes may exist against real property, such lien may not be foreclosed without the consent of the FDIC, and no liens for penalties, fines, interest, attorneys fees, costs of abstract and research fees exist against the real property for the failure of the FDIC or a prior property owner to pay ad valorem taxes when due. It is also not known whether the FDIC will attempt to claim the FIRREA exemptions as to the time for contesting valuations and tax assessments made prior to and after the enactment of FIRREA. Accordingly, to the extent that the FIRREA provisions are valid and applicable to any property in the District, and to the extent that the FDIC attempts to enforce the same, these provisions may affect the timeliness of collection of taxes on property, if any, owned by the FDIC in the District, and may prevent the collection of penalties and interest on such taxes. Continuing Compliance with Certain Covenants The Order contains covenants by the District intended to preserve the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. (See "THE BONDS - Specific Tax Covenants " herein.) Failure by the District to comply with such covenants on a continuous basis prior to maturity of the Bonds could result in interest on the Bonds becoming taxable retroactively to the date of original issuance. (See "TAX MATTERS " herein.) 10 Future Debt The District has reserved in the Order the right to issue the remaining $5,769,217 authorized but unissued unlimited tax bonds and such additional bonds as may hereafter be approved by both the Board of Directors and voters of the District. All of the remaining unlimited tax bonds, which have heretofore been authorized by the voters of the District may be issued by the District from time to time for qualified purposes, as determined by the Board of Directors of the District, subject to the approval of the Attorney General of the State of Texas and the TCEQ. The District has no plans to issue additional debt within the next twelve months. Future and Proposed Legislation Tax legislation, administrative actions taken by tax authorities, or court decisions, whether at the Federal or state level, may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds under Federal or state law and could affect the market price or marketability of the Bonds. Any such proposal could limit the value of certain deductions and exclusions, including the exclusion for tax-exempt interest. The likelihood of any such proposal being enacted cannot be predicted. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding the foregoing matters. THE DISTRICT Creation of the District The District was created by the consolidation of two prior municipal utility districts, being Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 ("Prior MUD 1") and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 ("Prior MUD 2" and collectively with Prior MUD 1, the "Prior MUDs"). Prior MUD 1 was created as Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 1 by order of the Texas Water Rights Commission (the "Commission") on March 4, 1975 for the purpose of providing water and sewer facilities and other authorized services to the area within the territory of Prior MUD 1. The name of Prior MUD 1 was changed to Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 on April 1, 1983. Prior MUD 2 was created as a result of the consolidation of Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 2 and Denton County Municipal Utility District No. 3, which were created by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") for the purpose of providing water, sewer and drainage facilities and other authorized services to the area. The creation of Prior MUD 2 was confirmed by its electorate at an election held on August 9, 1980. On January 26, 2009, the Boards of the Prior MUDs entered into an agreement to consolidate the Prior MUDs into a single Municipal Utility District covering the territory of the Prior MUDs, subject to the approval of the consolidation by the voters at an election held for that purpose. On May 9, 2009, the voters approved the consolidation and the District became the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1. Pursuant to the consolidation agreement, the District assumed the outstanding bonds, notes and other obligations of the Prior MUDs and the authorized but unissued bonds, taxes and other obligations of the Prior MUDs and became authorized to levy a uniform tax on all taxable property within the District. The functions performed by the District include supplying water for municipal purposes; collecting, transporting, processing and disposing of wastes; establishing, operating and maintaining a fire department; and performing other functions permitted by municipal utility districts under the Texas Water Code. Governance The District is governed by a board of directors which has control over and management supervision of all affairs of the District. There are five elected directors that serve four-year staggered terms. Directors receive no remuneration, except a Director's per diem allowance of $100 per day on which necessary service is performed for the District. The District and all similar districts are subject to the continuing supervision and filing requirements of-th&TSEQ, including the preparation and filing of an annual independent audit report. All District facility plans are submitted to the TCEQ for review and approval. Employees The District has no employees of its own. Rather, personnel services are furnished under an Interlocal Agreement for Employee and Contractual Services (the "Agreement") between the District and the Town pursuant to Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code. Under the Agreement, employees who report directly to the District rather than the Town are entitled to the same benefits provided to Town employees, but the District is required to pay all costs associated with the provision of benefits to such employees, including pension benefits. In addition, the District is required to pay 50% of the costs incurred by the Town for salary, benefits and other compensation of employees who provide firefighting and emergency medical services to both the District and the Town. The District's liabilities under the Agreement, including pension benefits, do not have a substantial impact on the District's finances. General The District is comprised of 2,283.5 acres [approximately 94 acres in Westlake (Solana)]. Approximately 195 acres in Trophy Club are undeveloped. Of the developed acres, there are approximately 3,172 existing households, 136 apartment units and 42 townhouses. 11 Location The District is located in southern Denton County and northern Tarrant County partially within the Town of Trophy Club (the "Town") and partially within the Town of Westlake. The District is directly adjacent to and accessible from State Highway 114, north of and approximately mid-way between Dallas and Fort Worth. The District is approximately 27 miles from downtown Dallas, 25 miles from downtown Fort Worth, 17 miles from Denton, 8 miles from Grapevine and 14 miles from the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Major highways connecting these population centers, which will also serve the District, include State Highways 114, 170 and 377 and Interstate Highways 35E and 35W. State Highway 170 connects Trophy Club directly to Alliance Airport which is located seven miles southwest of the District. (See "Vicinity Map" herein.) Population The population of the District is estimated to be approximately 7,600 and the population of the entire Town of Trophy Club, the District and the Trophy Club PID No. 1 (the "Trophy Club Development") is estimated at 8,895 (as of December 2011). Topography and Drainage The land within the District has a gradual slope toward Marshall Creek, which runs through the District. The city limits of Roanoke forms the western boundary of the District. Runoff water enters Grapevine Reservoir just north of the District through Marshall Creek or several other small tributaries. The maximum elevation in the area being developed is approximately 690 feet mean sea level and the minimum elevation in the area being developed is approximately 576 feet mean sea level. The soil is sandy loam and clay loam, and existing vegetation consists of native grasses and small oak trees. Areas which are subject to flooding by a 100-year frequency flood are located in the flood plan of Marshall Creek and have been delineated by the Water Resources Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey. Additional flood studies were made by the engineers to determine what areas may be subject to flooding. It was determined that the area subject to flooding within the District is approximately 58.5 acres based on 100-year flood frequency; however, 57.6 acres of this area is within the golf course area and is not intended to be developed for residential land use. Shopping and Commercial Facilities A shopping center within the District has a major grocery store chain, a bank, a major chain drug store, several service businesses, fast food outlets, and a beauty shop and a dry cleaners. Additionally there are several more businesses and professional offices located in the District, at the primary entrance to the Town of Trophy Club. There are additional shopping facilities in Roanoke, about two (2) miles west of the District and numerous shopping facilities in Southlake about five (5) miles east of the District and in Grapevine about eleven (11) miles east of the District. Full metropolitan shopping facilities are available in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas which have their central business districts approximately 27 miles and 25 miles, respectively from the District. Fire Protection The District operates its Fire Department (the "Department") with an engine, a Quint, a brush truck and two support vehicles. Currently the Department is staffed with twelve (12) full-time firefighter / paramedics, one full-time Fire chief and a part-time administrative assistant. Operations under the Department include fire suppression, fire prevention, emergency management, investigation/enforcement and emergency medical response. The new $3.1 million fire station was completed and equipped in August 2011 with proceeds from the sale of the Series 2010 Bonds, replacing the previously existing facility. This Department serves the Town of Trophy Club and area in the District that is not in the Town limits, and is currently financed by a combination of a $0.10925 maintenance tax assessment in the District, as well as a $0.10925 Public Improvement District ("PID") assessment in Trophy Club PID No. 1. The 2011-2012 annual operating budget is $1,311,934 with October 1, 2011 reserves of $287,689 (unaudited). Police Protection Twenty-four hour security is provided by the Town of Trophy Club Police Department Schools The Town is served by the Northwest Independent School District (the "School District" or "Northwest ISD"). Northwest ISD covers approximately 232 square miles in Denton, Wise and Tarrant Counties. In addition to serving the Town, the School District also serves the communities of Aurora, Fairview, Haslet, Justin, Newark, Northlake, Rhome, Roanoke and portions of Flower Mound, Fort Worth, Keller, Southlake and Westlake. Northwest ISD is comprised of 16 primary schools for grades pre- kindergarten through fifth, 4 middle schools for grades sixth through eighth, 3 high schools for grades ninth through twelfth, and 2 alternative education campuses for grades seventh through twelfth. One of the high schools, Byron Nelson High School, is located in the Town of Trophy Club. All campuses offer enriched curricula with special programs for gifted/talented students as well as students achieving below grade level, and all are equipped with computers and full cafeteria service. The School District serves a 2011-2012 estimated enrollment of 16,630 students (as of November 1, 2011). 12 Recreational Opportunities Recreational opportunities in Trophy Club are afforded by Lake Grapevine and its surrounding parks, which lie two miles north and east of the District. The Town has several community parks, including facilities for soccer, baseball, Softball, basketball, tennis, a competitive swimming pool and playground amenities. The Town also operates an 877 acre Corps of Engineers park, which features 100 acres of motorized trails, as well as many passive recreational opportunities such as fishing, hiking and picnicking. Status of Development of the District The area in the District is locally known as "Trophy Club." It is a residential and mixed-use development consisting of approximately 2,283.5 acres. The District is a mature district with roughly 195 acres undeveloped, of which 135 acres are zoned residential and approximately 60 acres are available for commercial development. There is substantial land left for commercial development in the Solana complex, which is located within the City of Westlake. Lot and custom home sales officially began in the District in mid-year 1975. Homes are currently being offered at prices ranging from $200,000 to $1,000,000 and lots range in price from $35,000 to $200,000. The status of single-family home development as of January 1, 2012 is shown below: Status of Single-Family Home Development Houses Additional Total Multi-Family Under Houses Total Developed Houses Units Construction Occupied Houses Lots and Lots Completed(a) 138 3,172 3,310 72 3,382 178 (a) In addition to the single-family development, there are approximately 132 apartments and 42 completed townhouses, which are occupied. Status of Business / Commercial Development The undeveloped commercial land within the Solana business complex (approximately 230 acres) is available for commercial development, however the District is unaware of any current plans for additional development in the Solana business complex. The Town of Trophy Club and the District have commercial land available for development on approximately 52 acres of land along Highway 114. The land is zoned for uses such as a medical complex, hotels, restaurants and a short-stay hospital facility. Additionally, the District currently has a small strip center along Highway 114 containing several food establishments and professional offices. Maguire Thomas Partners ("Maguire") currently owns the Solana business complex, which is the top principal taxpayer in the District (see APPENDIX A "Table 11 - Principal Taxpayers 2011-2012"). On November 16, 2011, a State district judge in Tarrant County appointed a receiver to take control of Solana. According to court filings, the receiver will operate Solana, take all necessary actions to preserve the income and value of the property, and market the property for sale. It is expected that Solana will be posted for foreclosure in the near future. The District cannot predict the impact that such events may have on the District's financial condition. Public Improvement District Description Trophy Club PID No. 1 (the "PID") consists of approximately 609.683 acres of land generally to the north of Oakmont Drive, Oak Hill Drive and the Quorum Condominiums, east of the Lakes Subdivision and Parkview Drive, south of the Corps of Engineer's property, and west of the Town's eastern limit. The PID is located entirely within the Town limits but outside the District. A master-planned residential community (the "Property") is under construction in the PID and at build-out will be comprised of approximately 1,489 residential units located within the Property, which Property is zoned to permit such use pursuant to the PD Zoning. As of December 31, 2011, 538 homes have been completed and are occupied and an additional 170 homes have been permitted and are currently under construction. The PID is projected to build out as early as 2017 if construction continues at current levels, or as late as 2025 in the event of a decrease in the construction rate. The District provides emergency and fire protection services to the PID, and the PID pays the District an assessment for such services at the current fire tax rate of $0.10925. The District also provides water and sewer service for the PID. The total billed for PID water and sewer for fiscal year 2010-11 was $617,001.57. 13 THE DISTRICT'S SYSTEM The following information describes generally the water and wastewater systems for the District. Description of the Water System Sources of Water Supply: The present water supply is provided from two sources: (i) four ground wells which provide approximately 1,000,000 gallons per day, and (ii) a 21-inch water line which is capable of delivering 10,000,000 gallons per day of treated water from the City of Fort Worth facilities. Currently the District contracts with the City of Fort Worth for unlimited water services. Current maximum usage is approximately 6,500,000 gallons per day (of which 4,500,000 is Fort Worth water). These sources, when combined, provide water which complies with the quality requirements of the TCEQ and needs only chlorination at the District's water plant facility. Water Plant Facility: The present facility provides 900,000 gallons elevated and 6,000,000 gallons ground storage with pumping/chlorination capacity of 10,000,000 gallons per day. Description of the Wastewater System Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility: The wastewater treatment plant system has a permitted treatment/discharge capacity of 1,750,000 gallons per day from the TCEQ under TPDES Permit No. 11593-001. Although the permit authorizes the discharge of wastewater to the adjacent tributary leading to Lake Grapevine, the plant effluent is currently pumped to various holding ponds within the community of Trophy Club and is re-used for irrigating the golf course.

InarSjition, bond proceeds may be invested in guaranteed investment contracts that have a defined termination date and are secured by obligations, including letters of credit, of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities in an amount at least equal to the amount of bond proceeds invested under such contract, other than the prohibited obligations described in the next succeeding paragraph. The District may invest in such obligations directly or through government investment pools that invest solely in such obligations provided that the pools are rated no lower than "AAA" or "AAAm" or an equivalent by at least one nationally recognized rating service. The District may also contract with an investment management firm registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. Section 80b-1 et seq.) or with the State Securities Board to provide for the investment and management of its public funds or other funds under its control for a term up to two years, but the District retains ultimate responsibility as fiduciary of its assets. In order to renew or extend such a contract, the District must do so by order, ordinance, or resolution. The District is specifically prohibited from investing in: (1) obligations whose payment represents the coupon payments on the outstanding principal balance of the underlying mortgage-backed security collateral and pays no principal; (2) obligations whose payment represents the principal stream of cash flow from the underlying mortgage-backed security and bears no interest; (3) collateralized mortgage obligations that have a stated final maturity of greater than 10 years; and (4) collateralized mortgage obligations the interest rate of which is determined by an index that adjusts opposite to the changes in a market index. Under Texas law, the District is required to invest its funds under written investment policies that primarily emphasize safety of principal and liquidity; that address investment diversification, yield, maturity, and the quality and capability of investment management; and that include a list of authorized investments for District funds, the maximum allowable stated maturity of any individual investment and the maximum average dollar-weighted maturity allowed for pooled fund groups, methods to monitor the market price of investments acquired with public funds, a requirement for settlement of all transactions, except investment pool funds and mutual funds, on a delivery versus payment basis, and procedures to monitor rating changes in investments acquired with public funds and the liquidation of such investments consistent with the Public Funds Investment Act. All District funds must be invested consistent with a formally adopted "Investment Strategy Statement" that specifically addresses each fund's investment. Each Investment Strategy Statement will describe its objectives concerning: (1) suitability of investment type, (2) preservation and safety of principal, (3) liquidity, (4) marketability of each investment, (5) diversification of the portfolio, and (6) yield. Under Texas law, the District's investments must be made "with judgment and care, under prevailing circumstances, that a person of prudence, discretion, and intelligence would exercise in the management of the person's own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment considering the probable safety of capital and the probable income to be derived." At least quarterly the District's investment officers must submit an investment report to the Board of Trustees detailing: (1) the investment position of the District, (2) that all investment officers jointly prepared and signed the report, (3) the beginning market value, the ending market value and the fully accrued interest for the reporting period of each pooled fund group, (4) the book value and market value of each separately listed asset at the end of the reporting-period, (5) the maturity date of each separately invested asset, (6) the account or fund or pooled fund group for which each individual investment was acquired, and (7) the compliance of the investment portfolio as it relates to: (a) adopted investment strategies and (b) Texas law. No person may invest District funds without express written authority from the Board of Trustees. Under State law, the District is additionally required to: (1) annually review its adopted policies and strategies; (2) adopt by written instrument a rule, order, ordinance or resolution stating that it has reviewed its investment policy and investment strategies and records any changes made to either its investment policy or investment strategy in the respective rule, order, ordinance or resolution; (3) require any investment officers with perssnasbusiness relationships or relatives with firms seeking to sell securities to the entity to disclose the relationship and file a statement with the Texas Ethics Commission and the Board of Trustees; (4) require the qualified representative of firms offering to engage in an investment transaction with the District to: (a) receive and review the District's investment policy, (b) acknowledger that reasonable controls and procedures have been implemented to preclude investment transactions conducted between the District and the business organization that are not authorized by the District's investment policy (except to the extent that this authorization is dependent on an analysis of the makeup of the District's entire portfolio or requires an interpretation of subjective investment standards), and (c) deliver a written statement in a form acceptable to the District and the business organization attesting to these requirements; (5) perform an annual audit of the management controls on investments and adherence to the District's investment policy; (6) provide specific investment training for the Treasurer, chief financial officer and investment officers; (7) restrict reverse repurchase agreements to not more than 90 days and restrict the investment of reverse repurchase agreement funds to no greater than the term of the reverse purchase agreement; (8) restrict the investment in no-load mutual funds in the aggregate to no more than 15% of the District's monthly average fund balance, excluding bond proceeds and reserves and other funds held for debt service; (9) require local government investment pools to conform to the new disclosure, rating, net asset value, yield calculation, and advisory board requirements; and (10) at least annually review, revise and adopt a list of qualified brokers that are authorized to engage in investment transactions with the District. 15 Current Investments As of December 31, 2011 the District's funds were invested in the District's depository bank and TexPool as shown in the table that follows. The District does not currently own, nor does it anticipate the inclusion of long-term securities or derivative products in its portfolio. Fund and Investment Type Amount TexPool - Operating Fund $3,317,514 TexPool - Interest and Sinking Fund 310,178 First Financial Bank Interest Bearing Account - Operating Fund 373,001 Total Investments $4,000,693 TAX DATA District Bond Tax Rate Limitation By law the District's tax rate for debt service on the Bonds is unlimited as to rate or amount. Maintenance and Operations Tax The Board is also authorized to levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax for planning, constructing, acquiring, or maintaining or repairing or operating the District's improvements and facilities, if such maintenance and operations tax is authorized by a vote of the District's electors. Such tax is in addition to taxes which the District is authorized to levy for paying principal of and interest on the Bonds, and any tax bonds which may be issued in the future. As shown in APPENDIX A, TABLE 13 - "TAX RATE DISTRIBUTION," the District levied a 2011-2012 maintenance and operations tax for fire protection purposes of $0.10925/$100 assessed valuation and $0.00989/$100 assessed valuation for all other operations and maintenance purposes. Overlapping Taxes Other governmental entities whose boundaries overlap the District have outstanding bonds payable from ad valorem taxes. The statement of direct and estimated overlapping ad valorem tax debt shown in APPENDIX A - TABLE 14 (page A-6) was developed from several sources, including information contained in "Texas Municipal Reports," published by the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas. Except for the amount relating to the District, the District has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of such information, and no person is entitled to rely upon information as being accurate or complete. Furthermore, certain of the entities listed below may have issued additional bonds since the dates stated in this table, and such entities may have programs requiring the issuance of substantial amounts of additional bonds, the amount of which cannot be determined. Political subdivisions overlapping the District are authorized by Texas law to levy and collect ad valorem taxes for operation, maintenance and/or general revenue purposes in addition to taxes of debt service and the tax burden for operation, maintenance and/or general purposes is not included in these figures. (See APPENDIX A - TABLES 14, 15 & 17 for information on overlapping taxing entities.) TAXING PROCEDURES Authority to Levy Taxes The Board has been authorized to levy an annual ad valorem tax on all taxable property within the District in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, their pro rata share of debt service on any contract tax bonds and any additional bonds or obligations payable from taxes which the District may hereafter issue and to pay the expenses of assessing and collecting such taxes. The District agrees in the Order to levy such a tax from year-to-year as described more fully herein under "THE BONDS - Security for Payment." Under Texas law, the Board is also authorized to levy and collect an ad valorem tax for the operation and maintenance of the District and for the payment of certain contractual obligations, if authorized by its voters. (See " TAX DATA - District Bond Tax Rate Limitation" herein.) Property Tax Code and County-Wide Appraisal District The Texas Property Tax Code (the "Property Tax Code") specifies the taxing procedures of all political subdivisions of the State of Texas, including the District. Provisions of the Property Tax Code are complex and are not fully summarized herein. The Property Tax Code requires, among other matters, county-wide appraisal and equalization of taxable property values and establishes in each county of the State of Texas an appraisal district with the responsibility for recording and appraising property for all taxing units within the county and an appraisal review board with responsibility for reviewing and equalizing the values established by the appraisal district. The board of directors of the appraisal district selects a chief appraiser to manage the appraisal offices of the appraisal district. The Denton Central Appraisal District and the Tarrant Appraisal District have the 16 responsibility for appraising property for all taxing units within Denton and Tarrant Counties, including the District. Such appraisal values are subject to review and change by the appraisal review boards of each county. The appraisal roll as approved by the appraisal review boards must be used by the District in establishing its tax roll and tax rate. General: Except for certain exemptions provided by Texas law, all property with a tax situs in the District is subject to taxation by the District; however, no effort is made by the District to collect taxes on tangible or intangible personal property not devoted to commercial or industrial use. Principal categories of exempt property applicable to the District include: (i)property owned by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions if the property is used for public purposes; (ii)property exempt from ad valorem taxation by federal law; (iii) certain property owned by charitable organizations, youth development associations, religious organizations, and qualified schools; (iv) designated historical sites; and (v) solar and wind-powered energy devices. Freeport Exemption: Article VIII, Section 1-j of the Texas Constitution authorizing an ad valorem tax exemption for "freeport property" was approved November 7, 1989. Freeport property is goods detained in Texas for 175 days or less for the purpose of assembly, storage, manufacturing, processing or fabrication. The District does grant this exemption. Goods in Transit: "Goods in Transit", which are certain goods, principally inventory, that are stored, for the purposes of assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing or fabricating the goods, in a location that is not owned by the owner of the goods and are transferred from that location to another location within 175 days; a taxpayer may receive only one of the freeport exemptions or the goods-in-transit exemptions for items of personal property. The District does not exempt Goods in Transit. Aaricultural/Ooen-Land Exemption: Article VIII provides that eligible owners of both agricultural land (Section 1-d) and open- space land (Section 1-d-1), including open-space land devoted to farm or ranch purposes or open-space land devoted to timber production, may elect to have such property appraised for property taxation on the basis of its productive capacity. The same land may not be qualified under both Section 1-d and 1-d-1. The District does have land that qualifies for this exemption. Residence Homestead Exemptions: Under Section 1-b, Article VIII, and State law, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant an exemption of not less than $3,000 of market value of the residence homestead of persons 65 years of age or older and the disabled from all ad valorem taxes thereafter levied by the political subdivision. Once authorized, such exemption may be repealed or decreased or increased in amount (i) by the governing body of the political subdivision or (ii) by a favorable vote of a majority of the qualified voters at an election called by the governing body of the political subdivision, which election must be called upon receipt of a petition signed by at least 20% of the number of qualified voters who voted in the preceding election of the political subdivision. In the case of a decrease, the amount of the exemption may not be reduced to less than $3,000 of the market value. The surviving spouse of an individual who qualifies for the foregoing exemption for the residence homestead of a person 65 or older (but not the disabled) is entitled to an exemption for the same property in an amount equal to that of the exemption for which the deceased spouse qualified if (i) the deceased spouse died in a year in which the deceased spouse qualified for the exemption, (ii) the surviving spouse was at least 55 years of age at the time of the death of the individual's spouse and (iii) the property was the residence homestead of the surviving spouse when the deceased spouse died and remains the residence homestead of the surviving spouse. The Board has granted such elderly and disabled exemptions in the amount of $25,000 of assessed valuation. In addition to any other exemptions provided by the Property Tax Code, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant an exemption of up to 20% of the market value of residence homesteads, with a minimum exemption of $5,000. The District does not grant the option percentage of market value exemption. In the case of residence homestead exemptions granted under Section 1-b, Article VIII, ad valorem taxes may continue to be levied against the value of homesteads exempted where ad valorem taxes have previously been pledged for the payment of debt if cessation of the levy would impair the obligation of the contract by which the debt was created. Disabled/Deceased Veterans Exemption: State law and Section 2, Article VIII, mandate an additional property tax exemption for disabled veterans or the surviving spouse (for so long as the surviving spouse remains unmarried) or children (under 18 years of age) of a deceased veteran who died while on active duty in the armed forces; the exemption applies to either real or personal property with the amount of assessed valuation exempted ranging from $5,000 to a maximum of $12,000; provided, however, that beginning in the 2009 tax year, a disabled veteran who receives from the from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or its successor 100 percent disability compensation due to a service-connected disability and a rating of 100 percent disabled or of individual unemployability is entitled to an exemption from taxation of the total appraised value of the veteran's residence homestead. In addition, effective January 1, 2012, and subject to certain conditions, surviving spouses of a deceased veteran who had received a disability rating of 100% will be entitled to receive a residential homestead exemption equal to the exemption received by the deceased spouse until such surviving spouse remarries. The District does grant the disabled / deceased veterans Exemption. Tax Abatement: Denton County, Tarrant County or the Town of Trophy Club may designate all or part of the area within the District as a reinvestment zone. Thereafter, the District may enter into tax abatement agreements with owners of real property within the District for up to ten (10) years, all or any part of any increase in the assessed valuation of property covered by the 17 agreement over its assessed valuation in the year in which the agreement is executed, on the condition that the property owner make specified improvements or repairs to the property in conformity with a comprehensive plan. All of the area of the District is included in reinvestment zones designated by the Town of Trophy Club, for tax abatement purposes. Valuation of Property for Taxation Generally, all taxable property in the District must be appraised by the Denton Central Appraisal District and the Tarrant Appraisal District (collectively, the "Appraisal District") at one hundred percent (100%) of market value as of January 1 of each year, subject to review and approval by the Appraisal Review Board. In determining market value, either the replacement cost or the income or the market data method of valuation may be used, whichever is appropriate. Certain land may be appraised at less than market value under the Property Tax Code. Increases in the appraised value of residence homesteads are limited to 10 percent annually regardless of the market value of the property. Upon application of a landowner, land which qualifies as "open-space land" is appraised based on the category of land, using accepted income capitalization methods applied to the average net income derived from the use of the land for agriculture and hunting or recreational leases. Upon application of a landowner, land which qualifies as "timber land" is appraised using accepted income capitalization methods applied to the average net income derived from the use of the land for production of timber. Land which qualifies as an aesthetic management zone, critical wildlife management zone, or streamside management zone or is being regenerated for timber production for 10 years after harvest is valued at one-half that amount. In the case of both open space and timber land valuations, if the use of land changes, an additional tax is generally imposed on the land equal to the difference between the taxes imposed on the land for each of the five (5) years preceding the year in which the change of use occurs and the tax that would have been imposed had the land been taxed on the basis of market value in each of those years, plus interest at an annual rate of seven percent (7%) calculated from the dates on which the differences would have become due. There are also special appraisal methods for agricultural land owned by individuals whose primary occupation and income are farming and for recreational, park, and scenic land. Also, houses or lots held for sale by a developer or builder which remain unoccupied, are not leased or rented and produce no income are required to be assessed at the price for which they would sell as a unit to a purchaser who would continue the owner's business, upon application of the owner. Once an appraisal roll is prepared and approved by the Appraisal Review Board, it is used by the District in establishing its tax rate. The Property Tax Code requires the Appraisal District to implement a plan for periodic reappraisal of property to update appraised values. The plan must provide for appraisal of all real property in the Appraisal District at least one every three (3) years. It is not know what frequency of reappraisal will be utilized by the Appraisal District or whether reappraisals will be conducted on a zone or countywide basis. Notice and Hearing Procedures The Tax Code establishes a "truth-in-taxation" process identifying increases in the effective tax rate. The rollback tax rate equals 108% of the total tax rate for the prior year. If the District decides to increase the tax rate more than eight percent (8%) above the previous year's tax rate, it must hold a public hearing and give notice to its taxpayers. If the actual tax rate adopted exceeds the rollback tax rate, taxpayers may petition to hold an election to reduce the tax rate to the rollback tax rate for the fiscal year. The Tax Code also establishes a procedure for notice to property owners of reappraisals reflecting increased property values, appraisals which are higher than renditions, and appraisals of property not previously on an appraisal roll District and Taxpayer Remedies The chief appraiser must give written notice before the Appraisal Review Board meeting to an affected owner if a reappraisal has resulted in an increase in value over the prior year or the value rendered by the owner, or if property not previously included on the appraisal roll has been appraised. Any owner who has timely filed notice with the Appraisal Review Board may appeal the final determination by the Appraisal Review Board of the owner's protest by filing suit in Texas district court. Prior to such appeal, however, the owner must pay the tax due on the amount of value of the property involved that is not in dispute or the amount of tax paid in the prior year, whichever is greater, but not to exceed the amount of tax due under the order from which the appeal is taken. In the event of such suit, the value of the property is determined by the court, or a jury if requested by any party. Additionally, the District is entitled to challenge certain matters before the Appraisal Review Board, including the level of appraisal of certain category of property, the exclusion of property from the appraisal records, or the grant in whole or in part of a partial exemption, or a determination that land qualifies for a special use appraisal (agricultural or timber classification, for example). The District may not, however, protest a valuation of individual property. Levy and Collection of Taxes The rate of taxation is set by the Board based upon the valuation of property within the District as of the preceding January 1 and the amount required to be raised for debt service, maintenance purposes, and authorized contractual obligations. 18 Unless the Board, or the qualified voters of the District or of Denton County or Tarrant County at an election held for such purpose, determines to transfer the collection of taxes to the Denton Central Appraisal District or Tarrant Appraisal District or another taxing unit, the District is responsible for the levy and collection of its taxes. The District has contracted with the Denton County Tax Collector to collect the taxes for the District. Taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year. The date of the delinquency may be postponed if the tax bills are mailed after January 10 of any year. Delinquent taxes are subject to a 6% penalty for the first month of delinquency, one percent (1%) for each month thereafter to July 1, and 12% total if any taxes are unpaid on July 1. Delinquent taxes also accrue interest at the rate of 1% per month during the period they remain outstanding. In addition, where a district engages an attorney for collection of delinquent taxes, the Board may impose a further penalty not to exceed twenty percent 20% on all taxes unpaid on July 1. The District may be prohibited from collection of penalties and interest on real property owned by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation. In prior years the District has engaged a delinquent tax attorney and imposed such a penalty. District's Rights in the Event of Tax Delinquencies Taxes levied by the District are a personal obligation of the owner of the property on January 1 of the year for which the tax is imposed. On January 1 of each year, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all state and local taxes, penalties, and interest ultimately imposed for the year on the property. The lien exists in favor of the State of Texas and each local taxing unit, including the District, having power to tax the property. The District's tax lien is on a parity with tax liens of such other taxing units. A tax lien on real property takes priority over the claim of most creditors and other holders of liens on the property encumbered by the tax lien, whether or not the debt or lien existed before the attachment of the tax lien; however, whether a lien of the United States is on a parity with or takes priority over a tax lien of the District is determined by applicable federal law. Personal property under certain circumstances is subject to seizure and sale for the payment of delinquent taxes, penalty, and interest. At any time after taxes on property become delinquent, the District may file suit to foreclose the lien securing payment of the tax, to enforce personal liability for the tax, or both. In filing a suit to foreclose a tax lien on real property, the District must join other taxing units that have claims for delinquent taxes against all or part of the same property. Collection of delinquent taxes may be adversely affected by the amount of taxes owed to other taxing units, by the effects of market conditions on the foreclosure sale price, by taxpayer redemption rights (a taxpayer may redeem property within two years after the purchaser's deed issued at the foreclosure sale is filed in the county records) or by bankruptcy proceedings which restrict the collection of taxpayer debts. (See "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - General" and "INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS - Tax Collections and Foreclosure Remedies".) TAX MATTERS Opinion On the date of initial delivery of the Bonds, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Dallas, Texas, Bond Counsel to the Issuer, will render its opinion that, in accordance with statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions existing on the date thereof ("Existing Law"), (1) interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes will be excludable from the "gross income" of the holders thereof and (2) the Bonds will not be treated as "specified private activity bonds" the interest on which would be included as an alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Except as stated above, Bond Counsel to the Issuer will express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. See Appendix C - Form of Legal Opinion of Bond Counsel. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel to the Issuer will rely upon (a) certain information and representations of the Issuer, including information and representations contained in the Issuer's federal tax certificate, and (b) covenants of the Issuer contained in the Bond documents relating to certain matters, including arbitrage and the use of the proceeds of the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds and the property financed or refinanced therewith and (c) the certification of the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds that the amount deposited with the Escrow Agent will be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds when due. Failure by the Issuer to observe the aforementioned representations or covenants could cause the interest on the Bonds to become taxable retroactively to the date of issuance. The Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder contain a number of requirements that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order for interest on the Bonds to be, and to remain, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements may cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel to the Issuer is conditioned on compliance by the Issuer with such requirements, and Bond Counsel to the Issuer has not been retained to monitor compliance with these requirements subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds. 19 Bond Counsel's opinion represents its legal judgement based upon its review of Existing Law and the reliance on the aforementioned information, representations and covenants. Bond Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a result. Existing Law is subject to change by the Congress and to subsequent judicial and administrative interpretation by the courts and the Department of the Treasury. There can be no assurance that Existing Law or the interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner which would adversely affect the tax treatment of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. A ruling was not sought from the Internal Revenue Service by the Issuer with respect to the Bonds or the property financed or refinanced with proceeds of the Bonds. No assurances can be given as to whether the Internal Revenue Service will commence an audit of the Bonds, or as to whether the Internal Revenue Service would agree with the opinion of Bond Counsel. If an Internal Revenue Service audit is commenced, under current procedures the Internal Revenue Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer and the Bondholders may have no right to participate in such procedure. No additional interest will be paid upon any determination of taxability. Federal Income Tax Accounting Treatment of Original Issue Discount The initial public offering price to be paid for one or more maturities of the Bonds may be less than the principal amount or maturity amount thereof or one or more periods for the payment of interest on the bonds may not be equal to the accrual period or be in excess of one year (the "Original Issue Discount Bonds"). In such event, the difference between (i) the "stated redemption price at maturity" of each Original Issue Discount Bond, and (ii) the initial offering price to the public of such Original Issue Discount Bond would constitute original issue discount. The "stated redemption price at maturity" means the sum of all payments to be made on the bonds less the amount of all periodic interest payments. Periodic interest payments are payments which are made during equal accrual periods (or during any unequal period if it is the initial or final period) and which are made during accrual periods which do not exceed one year. Under existing law, any owner who has purchased such Original Issue Discount Bond in the initial public offering is entitled to exclude from gross income (as defined in section 61 of the Code) an amount of income with respect to such Original Issue Discount Bond equal to that portion of the amount of such original issue discount allocable to the accrual period. For a discussion of certain collateral federal tax consequences, see discussion set forth below. In the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bond prior to stated maturity, however, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such Original Issue Discount Bond in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Original Issue Discount Bond was held by such initial owner) is includable in gross income. Under existing law, the original issue discount on each Original Issue Discount Bond is accrued daily to the stated maturity thereof (in amounts calculated as described below for each six-month period ending on the date before the semiannual anniversary dates of the date of the Bonds and ratably within each such six-month period) and the accrued amount is added to an initial owner's basis for such Original Issue Discount Bond for purposes of determining the amount of gain or loss recognized by such owner upon the redemption, sale or other disposition thereof. The amount to be added to basis for each accrual period is equal to (a) the sum of the issue price and the amount of original issue discount accrued in prior periods multiplied by the yield to stated maturity (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period) less (b) the amounts payable as current interest during such accrual period on such Original Issue Discount Bond. The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of Original Issue Discount Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those described above. All owners of Original Issue Discount Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the determination for federal, state and local income tax purposes of the treatment of interest accrued upon redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds and with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds. Collateral Federal Income Tax Consequences The following discussion is a summary of certain collateral federal income tax consequences resulting from the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds. This discussion is based on existing statutes, regulations, published rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change or modification, retroactively. The following discussion is applicable to investors, other than those who are subject to special provisions of the Code, such as financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, life insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, individuals allowed an earned income credit, certain S corporations with accumulated earnings and profits and excess passive investment income, foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase tax-exempt obligations. 20 THE DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN MAY NOT BE EXHAUSTIVE. INVESTORS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL PROVISIONS OF THE CODE, SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX TREATMENT WHICH MAY BE ANTICIPATED TO RESULT FROM THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS BEFORE DETERMINING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE BONDS. Interest on the Bonds will be includable as an adjustment for "adjusted current earnings" to calculate the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. Under section 6012 of the Code, holders of tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, may be required to disclose interest received or accrued during each taxable year on their returns of federal income taxation. Section 1276 of the Code provides for ordinary income tax treatment of gain recognized upon the disposition of a tax-exempt obligation, such as the Bonds, if such obligation was acquired at a "market discount" and if the fixed maturity of such obligation is equal to, or exceeds, one year from the date of issue. Such treatment applies to "market discount bonds" to the extent such gain does not exceed the accrued market discount of such bonds; although for this purpose, a de minimis amount of market discount is ignored. A "market discount bond" is one which is acquired by the holder at a purchase price which is less than the stated redemption price at maturity or, in the case of a bond issued at an original issue discount, the "revised issue price" (i.e., the issue price plus accrued original issue discount). The "accrued market discount" is the amount which bears the same ratio to the market discount as the number of days during which the holder holds the obligation bears to the number of days between the acquisition date and the final maturity date. State, Local and Foreign Taxes Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax implications of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds under applicable state or local laws. Foreign investors should also consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences unique to investors who are not United States persons. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations for Financial Institutions Section 265(a) of the Code provides, in pertinent part, that interest paid or incurred by a taxpayer, including a "financial institution," on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations is not deductible in determining the taxpayer's taxable income. Section 265(b) of the Code provides an exception to the disallowance of such deduction for any interest expense paid or incurred on indebtedness of a taxpayer that is a "financial institution" allocable to tax-exempt obligations, other than "private activity bonds," that are designated by a "qualified small issuer" as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." A "qualified small issuer" is any governmental issuer (together with any "on-behalf of and "subordinate" issuers) who issues no more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations during the calendar year. Section 265(b)(5) of the Code defines the term "financial institution" as any "bank" described in section 585(a)(2) of the Code, or any person accepting deposits from the public in the ordinary course of such person's trade or business that is subject to federal or state supervision as a financial institution. Notwithstanding the exception to the disallowance of the deduction of interest on indebtedness related to "qualified tax-exempt obligations" provided by section 265(b) of the Code, section 291 of the Code provides that the allowable deduction to a "bank," as defined in section 585(a)(2) of the Code, for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase "qualified tax-exempt obligations" shall be reduced by twenty-percent (20%) as a "financial institution preference item." In the Order, the Issuer has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of section 265(b) of the Code. In furtherance of that designation, the Issuer has covenanted to take such action that would assure, or to refrain from such action that would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." Potential purchasers should be aware that if the issue price to the public exceeds $10,000,000 there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the payment of a de minimis amount of premium in excess of $10,000,000 is disregarded; however, the Internal Revenue Service could take a contrary view. If the Internal Revenue Service takes the position that the amount of such premium is not disregarded, then such obligations might fail to satisfy the aforementioned dollar limitation and the Bonds would not be "qualified tax-exempt obligations." CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION . In the Order, the Issuer has made the following agreement for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of each of the Bonds. The Issuer is required to observe the agreement for so long as it remains obligated to advance funds to pay the Bonds. Under the agreement, the Issuer will be obligated to provide certain updated financial information and operating data annually, and timely notice of certain specified events, to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB"). Annual Reports The Issuer will provide certain updated financial information and operating data to the MSRB. The District will provide all quantitative financial information and operating data with respect to the District of the general type included in this Official Statement. The information to be updated includes Tables 1,12 and 13 of Appendix A, and the annual audited financial statements of the District. The Issuer will update and provide this information within six months after the end of each fiscal year ending in and after 2011. 21 The financial information to be provided may be set forth in full in one or more documents or may be included by specific reference to any document available to the public on the MSRB's Internet Website or filed with the SEC, as permitted by SEC Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule"). The updated information will include audited financial statements for the Issuer, if the Issuer commissions an audit and it is completed by the required time. If audited financial statements are not available by the required time, the Issuer will provide unaudited financial statements by the required time and audited financial statements when and if such audited financial statements become available. Any such financial statements will be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles described in Appendix D or such other accounting principles as the Issuer may be required to employ from time to time pursuant to State law or regulation. The Issuer's current fiscal year end is September 30. Accordingly, it must provide updated information by the last day in March in each year, unless the Issuer changes its fiscal year. If the Issuer changes its fiscal year, it will notify the MSRB of the change. Notice of Certain Events The Issuer will also provide timely notices of certain events to the MSRB. The Issuer will provide notice of any of the following events with respect to the Bonds to the MSRB in a timely manner (but not in excess of ten business days after the occurrence of the event): (1) principal and interest payment delinquencies; (2) non-payment related defaults, if material; (3) unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulties; (4) unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulties; (5) substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform; (6) adverse tax opinions, the issuance by the Internal Revenue Service of proposed or final determinations of taxability, Notices of Proposed Issue (IRS Form 5701-TEB), or other material notices or determinations with respect to the tax status of the Bonds, or other material events affecting the tax status of the Bonds; (7) modifications to rights of holders of the Bonds, if material; (8) Bond calls, if material, and tender offers; (9) defeasances; (10) release, substitution, or sale of property securing repayment of the Bonds, if material; (11) rating changes; (12) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar event of the Issuer, which shall occur as described below; (13) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition involving the Issuer or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, other than in the ordinary course of business, the entry into of a definitive agreement to undertake such an action or the termination of a definitive agreement relating to any such actions, other than pursuant to its terms, if material; and (14) appointment of a successor or additional trustee or the change of name of a trustee, if material. In addition, the Issuer will provide timely notice of any failure by the Issuer to provide annual financial information in accordance with their agreement described above under "Annual Reports". For these purposes, any event described in clause (12) of the immediately preceding paragraph is considered to occur when any of the following occur: the appointment of a receiver, fiscal agent, or similar officer for the Issuer in a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or in any other proceeding under state or federal law in which a court or governmental authority has assumed jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the Issuer, or if such jurisdiction has been assumed by leaving the existing governing body and officials or officers in possession but subject to the supervision and orders of a court or governmental authority, or the entry of an order confirming a plan of reorganization, arrangement, or liquidation by a court or governmental authority having supervision or jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the Issuer. Availability of Information from MSRB The Issuer has agreed to provide the foregoing financial information and operating data only as described above. Investors will be able to access continuing disclosure information filed with the MSRB free of charge at www.emma.msrb.org. Limitations and Amendments The Issuer has agreed to update information and to provide notices of certain specified events only as described above. The Issuer has not agreed to provide other information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of its financial results of operations, condition, or prospects or agreed to update any information that is provided, except as described above. The Issuer makes no representation or warranty concerning such information or concerning its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Bonds at any future date. The Issuer disclaims any contractual or tort liability for damages resulting in whole or in part from any breach of its continuing disclosure agreement or from any statement made pursuant to its agreement, although holders or beneficial owners of Bonds may seek a writ of mandamus to compel the Issuer to comply with its agreement. The Issuer may amend its continuing disclosure agreement 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 Issuer, if the agreement, as amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Bonds in the offering described herein in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule to the date of such amendment, as well as such changed circumstances, and either the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds consent or any person unaffiliated with the Issuer (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determines that the amendment will not materially impair the interests of the beneficial owners of the Bonds. The Issuer may also repeal or amend these provisions 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 the provisions of this sentence would not prevent an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds giving effect to (a) such 22 provisions as so amended and (b) any amendments or interpretations of the Rule. If the Issuer amends its agreement, it must include with the next financial information and operating data provided in accordance with its agreement described above under "Annual Reports" an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of information and data provided. Compliance with Prior Agreements For the last five years, the District has complied in all material respects with its previous continuing disclosure agreements made in accordance with the Rule. OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION Legal Matters The delivery of the Bonds is subject to the receipt of an approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas to the effect that the Bonds are valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, and the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel, to like effect and to the effect that the interest on the Bonds will be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under section 103(a) of the Code, subject to the matters described under "TAX MATTERS" herein, including the alternative minimum tax on corporations. The form of Bond Counsel's opinion is attached hereto as Appendix C. The legal fee to be paid to Bond Counsel for services rendered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Bonds. Though it represents the Financial Advisor and the Underwriter from time to time in matters unrelated to the issuance of the Bonds, Bond Counsel has been engaged by and only represents the Issuer in the issuance of the Bonds. Except as noted below, Bond Counsel did not take part in the preparation of the Official Statement, and such firm has not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto or undertaken independently to verify any of the information contained herein except that in its capacity as Bond Counsel, such firm has reviewed the information appearing under captions "PLAN OF FINANCING", "THE BONDS" (except for subcaptions "Default and Remedies" and "Payment Record" and the second and third sentences under the subcaption "Issuance of Additional Debt"), "TAX MATTERS," "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION" (exclusive of the subcaption "Compliance With Prior Agreements"), and the subcaptions "Legal Matters" (except for the last two sentences of the second paragraph thereof), "Registration and Qualification of Bonds for Sale" and "Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas" under the caption "OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION" to determine whether such information accurately and fairly summarizes the material and documents referred to therein and is correct as to matters of law, and that such information conforms to the Order. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriter by Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., Dallas, Texas, Counsel for the Underwriter. The legal fees to be paid to Counsel to the Underwriter are contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Bonds. The legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds express the professional judgment of the respective attorneys rendering the opinions as to the legal issues explicitly addressed therein. In rendering a legal opinion, the attorney does not become an insurer or guarantor of that expression of professional judgment, of the transaction opined upon, or of the future performance of the parties to the transaction. Nor does the rendering of an opinion guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute that may arise out of the transaction. Registration and Qualification of Bonds for Sale The sale of the Bonds has not been registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption provided thereunder by Section 3(a)(2); and the Bonds have not been qualified under the Securities Act of Texas in reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Bonds been qualified under the securities acts of any jurisdiction. The Issuer assumes no responsibility for qualification of the Bonds under the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which the Bonds may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred. This disclaimer of responsibility for qualification for sale or other disposition of the Bonds shall not be construed as an interpretation of any kind with regard to the availability of any exemption from securities registration provisions. Litigation In the opinion of District officials, the Issuer is not a party to any litigation or other proceeding pending or to its knowledge, threatened, in any court, agency or other administrative body (either state or federal) which, if decided adversely to the Issuer, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the District. Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas Section 1201.041 of the Public Security Procedures Act (Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code) provides that the Bonds are negotiable instruments, investment securities governed by Chapter 8, Texas Business and Commerce Code, and are real and authorized investments for insurance companies, fiduciaries, and trustees, and for the sinking funds of municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State. With respect to investment in the Bonds by municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State, the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code, requires that the Bonds be assigned a rating of at least "A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency. See 23 "RATINGS" herein. In addition, various provisions of the Texas Finance Code provide that, subject to a prudent investor standard, obligations such as the Bonds are legal investments for state banks, savings banks, trust companies with capital of one million dollars or more, and savings and loan associations. The Bonds are eligible to secure deposits of any public funds of the State, its agencies, and its political subdivisions, and are legal security for those deposits to the extent of their fair market value. No review by the District has been made of the laws in other states to determine whether the Bonds are legal investments for various institutions in those states. No representation is made that the Bonds will be acceptable to public entities to secure their deposits or acceptable to such institutions for investment purposes. The District has made no investigation of other laws, rules, regulations or investment criteria which might apply to any such persons or entities or which might otherwise limit the suitability of the Bonds for any of the foregoing purposes or limit the authority of such persons or entities to purchase or invest in the Bonds for such purposes. Underwriting The Underwriter has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the Bonds from the Issuer at a price of $2,470,257.70 (representing the par amount of the Bonds of $2,355,000.00, plus an original issue premium of $136,075.20, less an Underwriter's discount of $20,817.50), plus accrued interest on the Bonds from the Dated Date to the date of initial delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriter. The Underwriter's obligation is subject to certain conditions precedent. The Underwriter will be obligated to purchase all of the Bonds, if any of the Bonds are purchased. The Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including the Underwriter and other dealers depositing Bonds into investment trusts) and others at prices lower than such public offering prices, and such public prices may be changed, from time to time, by the Underwriter. The Underwriter has provided the following sentence for inclusion in this Official Statement. The Underwriter has reviewed the information in this Official Statement in accordance with, and as part of, its responsibilities to investors under federal securities laws as applied to the facts and circumstances of this transaction, but the Underwriter does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. Financial Advisor Southwest Securities is employed as a Financial Advisor to the Issuer in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. In this capacity, the Financial Advisor has compiled certain data relating to the Bonds and has assisted in drafting this Official Statement. The Financial Advisor has not independently verified any of the data contained herein or conducted a detailed investigation of the affairs of the Issuer to determine the accuracy or completeness of this Official Statement. Because of its limited participation, the Financial Advisor assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of the information contained herein. The fees for Financial Advisor are contingent upon the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds.

[DATE OF DELIVERY] TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 UNLIMITED TAX REFUNDING BONDS SERIES 2012 DATED MARCH 1, 2012 IN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $2,355,000 AS BOND COUNSEL FOR TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 (the "District") issuer of the Bonds described above (the "Bonds"), we have examined into the legality and validity of the Bonds, which bear interest from the dates and mature on the dates, and are subject to redemption, in accordance with the terms and conditions stated in the text of the Bonds. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given in the Order of the District authorizing the issuance and sale of the Bonds (the "Order"). WE HAVE EXAMINED the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and other documents authorizing and relating to the issuance of said Bonds, including one of the executed Bonds (Bond Number T-l), and specimens of Bonds to be authenticated and delivered in exchange for the Bonds. BASED ON SAID EXAMINATION, IT IS OUR OPINION THAT the Bonds have been authorized and issued and the Bonds delivered concurrently with this opinion have been duly delivered, and that, assuming due authentication, Bonds issued in exchange therefor will have been duly delivered, in accordance with law, and that said Bonds, except as may be limited by laws applicable to the District relating to bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar matters affecting creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the District, payable from ad valorem taxes to be levied and collected by the District upon taxable property within the District, which taxes the District has covenanted to levy in an amount sufficient to pay the interest on and the principal of the Bonds. Such covenant to levy taxes is subject to the right of a city, under existing Texas law, to annex all of the territory within the District; to take over all properties and assets of the District; to assume all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the District, including the Bonds; and to abolish the District or if the District consolidates with another District. IT IS FURTHER OUR OPINION, except as discussed below, that the interest on the Bonds is excludable from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes under the statutes, regulations, published rulings, and court decisions existing on the date of this opinion. We are further of the opinion that the Bonds are not "specified private activity bonds" and that, accordingly, interest on the Bonds will not be included as an individual or corporate alternative minimum tax preference item under section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). In expressing the aforementioned opinions, we have relied on, certain representations, the accuracy of which we have not independently verified, and assume compliance with certain covenants regarding the use and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds and the use of the property financed or refinced therewith. We call your attention to the fact that if such representations are determined to be inaccurate or if the Issuer fails to comply with such covenants, interest on the Bonds may become includable in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, we express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of the Bonds. WE CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT the interest on tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, is included in a corporation's alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of determining the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. OUR OPINIONS ARE BASED ON EXISTING LAW, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"); rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that we deem relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to determine compliance with rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published procedures the Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer. We observe that the Issuer has covenanted not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, may result in the treatment of interest on the Bonds as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. WE EXPRESS NO OPINION as to any insurance policies issued with respect to the payments due for the principal of and interest on the Bonds, nor as to any such insurance policies issued in the future. OUR SOLE ENGAGEMENT in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is as Bond Counsel for the Issuer, and, in that capacity, we have been engaged by the Issuer for the sole purpose of rendering our opinions with respect to the legality and validity of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and with respect to the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes, and for no other reason or purpose. The foregoing opinions represent our legal judgment based upon a review of existing legal authorities that we deem relevant to render such opinions and are not a guarantee of a result. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not independently investigated or verified, any records, data, or other material relating to the financial condition or capabilities of the Issuer, or the disclosure thereof in connection with the sale of the Bonds, and have not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto. We express no opinion and make no comment with respect to the marketability of the Bonds. Our role in connection with the Issuer's Official Statement prepared for use in connection with the sale of the Bonds has been limited as described therein. Respectfully, APPENDIX D EXCERPTS FROM THE DISTRICT'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (Independent Auditor's Report, General Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements - not intended to be a complete statement of the Issuer's financial condition. Reference is made to the complete Annual Financial Report for further information.) and Company PLLC Certified Public Accountants INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Board of Directors Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 Trophy Club, Texas We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1, (the District), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011, which collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the District's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, and each major fund of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 as of September 30, 2011, and the changes in financial position for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The management's discussion and analysis, and budgetary comparison information on pages 3 through 10 and 35 through 36, are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. 1 LaFollett & Company PLLC PO Box 717 • Tom Bean, TX • 75489 903-546-6975 • www.lafollettcpa.com In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have issued a report dated January 31, 2012 on our consideration of the District's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. The report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 's basic financial statements. The accompanying individual schedules and other supplementary information listed in the table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying individual schedules and other supplementary information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. LaFollett & Company, PLLC Tom Bean, Texas January 31, 2012 2 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1, Texas (the "District") Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is a narrative overview and analysis designed to provide the reader a means to identify and understand the financial activity of the District and changes in the District's financial position during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The Management's Discussion and Analysis is supplemental to, and should be considered along with, the District's financial statements. Financial Highlights At the close of the fiscal year, the assets of the District exceeded its liabilities by $12,262,122. Of this amount, $3,123,113 is unrestricted net assets and may be used to meet the District's ongoing commitments. The District's net assets increased by $1,991,485 as a result of operations. At the end of the fiscal year, the District's governmental type funds reported a combined fund balance of $3,143,822. As of September 30, 2011, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $2,509,429, which is equal to 42% of total General Fund expenditures. The governmental long-term debt bond obligations of the District decreased by $1,115,000. Overview of the Financial Statements The MD&A is intended to introduce the reader to the District's basic financial statements, which are comprised of three components: 1. Government-Wide Financial Statements, 2. Fund Financial Statements, and 3. Notes to Basic Financial Statements. The report also contains other required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. Government-Wide Financial Statements - the government wide financial statements are designed to provide the reader with a general overview of the District's finances in a way that is comparable with financial statements from the private sector. The government-wide financial statements consist of two statements: 1. The Statement of Net Assets - (Page 11) this statement presents information on all of the District's assets and liabilities; the difference between the two is reported as net assets. Over an extended period, the increase or decrease in net assets will serve as a good indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating. 3 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 4 Overview of the Financial Statements - continued 2. The Statement of Activities - (Page 12) gives information showing how the District's net assets have changed during the fiscal year. All revenues and expenses are reported on the full accrual basis. Fund Financial Statements - Fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most important funds and not about the District as a whole as in the government-wide financial statements. The District uses fund accounting to demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements which can be categorized as governmental fund activities. Governmental Funds - All of the District's activities are reported in governmental funds. They are used to account for those functions known as governmental activities. But unlike government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on how monies flow into and out of those funds and their resulting balances at the end of the fiscal year. Statements of governmental funds provide a detailed short-term view of the District's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Such information can be useful in evaluating a government's short-term financing requirements. The District maintains three governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund and Capital Projects Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. The District adopts annual appropriated budgets for the General Fund and Debt Service Funds. A budgetary comparison statement is provided for each annually budgeted fund to demonstrate compliance with its budget. Notes to the Basic Financial Statements - The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data presented in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be found on pages 17-34. TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 Overview of the Financial Statements - continued Government-wide Financial Analysis The management discussion and analysis highlights the information provided in both the Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities in the government-wide financial statements. It may serve over an extended period of time, as a useful indicator of the District's financial position. At the end of the fiscal year, the District's assets exceeded liabilities by $12,262,122. Of this amount $9,031,162 (74%) reflects the District's investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation), less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The District uses these capital assets to provide service to the community; therefore these assets are not available for future spending.

Governmental activities have increased the District's net assets by $1,991,485, which amounts to a 19% increase in net assets for the year ended September 30, 2011.

The 6 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 information derived from these funds is highly useful in assessing the District's financial requirements. The unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the government's net resources available for use at the fiscal year-end. At the end of the fiscal year, the District's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $3,143,822, of which 70%, or $2,206,963, is unassigned and available to the District for future spending. Additional fund balances of $107,847 are assigned to pay debt service.

The budget was based on a normal year, but the District experienced dry, hot weather increasing the use of water. Expenses: Expenses were $396,693 less than budgeted • Water operations were $179,979 more than budgeted due to a higher water use during above average summer heat and dry weather. • The Fire Department had a $436,517 positive budget variance (see page 35) for 2011 expenditures before transfers and capital outlays. After these items are considered, the positive variance was $50,517. Debt Service Fund: • Actual debt service fund revenue was $12,921 more than budgeted due to the payment of delinquent taxes. The debt service expenses were $1,040 less than budgeted. • The debt service fund reserves decreased from $272,132 to $ 107,847.

The decrease was expected due to the Capital Projects Fund's use of $2 million of prior year bond proceeds for fiscal year 2011 capital outlays. 7 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30,2011 Capital Asset and Debt Administration The District's investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of September 30, 2011 amounted to $16,742,462, net of accumulated depreciation. This represents a broad range of capital assets including, but not limited to land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, vehicles, and water, wastewater treatment, and wastewater collection systems. Capital assets increased approximately 17% during 2011 primarily due to the completion of the new fire department facility. The Capital Projects Fund expenditure for this facility in 2011 was approximately $2.5 million. A management review of annual depreciation for capital assets was completed during the fiscal year and identified approximately $665,000 of depreciation that had over accumulated through the end of fiscal year 2010. Beginning fiscal year 2011 accumulated depreciation and net assets have been adjusted accordingly. Additional information about capital assets may be found in Note 5 in the notes to financial statements. Debt administration Long-Term Debt - at the end of the current fiscal year the consolidated District had $7,789,214 of general obligation bonds, contractual obligation bonds, notes payable, capital lease obligations, and accrued compensated absences, a decrease of 14% from the previous fiscal year.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. General Statement Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the District) was created by an order of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) (formerly the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission) on March 4, 1975 and confirmed by the electorate of the District at a confirmation election on October 7, 1975. The Board of Director's held its first meeting on April 24, 1975. The Bonds were first sold on June 8, 1976. The District operates pursuant to Article XVI, Chapter 59 of the Texas Constitution and Chapter 54 of the Texas Water Code, as amended. On May 9, 2009, citizens voted to consolidate the District and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 (MUD2). As a result, the District reports consolidated activity and balances for the District and the entities formerly known as MUD2 and the Trophy Club Master District Joint Venture (a joint venture of MUD 1 and MUD2). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for the District. The financial statements of the District have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. B. Financial Reporting Entity As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements include the activities of the District and any organizations for which the District is financially accountable or for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The definition of the reporting entity is based primarily on the notion of financial accountability. A primary government is financially accountable for the organizations that make up its legal entity. It is also financially accountable for legally separate organizations if its officials appoint a voting majority of an organization's governing body and either it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific financial burdens on, the primary government. A primary government may also be financially accountable for governmental organizations that are fiscally dependent on it. A primary government has the ability to impose its will on an organization if it can significantly influence the programs, projects, or activities of, or the level of services performed or provided by, the organization. A financial benefit or burden relationship exists if the primary government (a) is entitled to the organization's resources; (b) is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization; or (c) is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization. Some organizations are included as component units because of their fiscal dependency on the primary government. An organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government if it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval by the primary government. Accordingly, the District has no component units. 17 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED C. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The govemment-wide financial statements (the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all of the activities of the District, except for fiduciary funds. The effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The activities of the District are comprised only of governmental activities. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given program are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific program. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given program and 2) operating or capital grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Fund Financial Statements The District segregates transactions related to certain functions or activities in separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. These statements present each major fund as a separate column on the fund financial statements. The District does not report any non-major funds. Governmental funds are those funds through which most governmental functions typically are financed. The measurement focus of governmental funds is on the sources, uses and balance of current financial resources. The District has presented the following major governmental funds: General Fund The General Fund is the main operating fund of the District. This fund is used to account for all financial resources not accounted for in other funds. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund. Debt Service Fund The Debt Service Fund is used to account for resources accumulated and payments made for principal and interest on the long-term debt of governmental funds. Capital Projects Fund The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for funds received and expended for the acquisition and construction of infrastructure and other capital assets. 18 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The government-wide statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The economic resources measurement focus means all assets and liabilities (whether current or non-current) are included on the statement of net assets and the operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned. Expenses are recognized at the time the liability is incurred. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual; i.e., when they become both measurable and available. "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The District considers receivables collected within sixty days after year-end to be available and recognizes them as revenues of the current year. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due. The revenues susceptible to accrual are interest income and ad valorem taxes. All other governmental fund revenues are recognized when received. E. Cash and Investments The District's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The District's investment policy requires that all monies be deposited with the authorized District depository or in (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities; (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3) other obligations, the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas or the United States; (4) obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state having been rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a rating of not less than A or its equivalent; (5) certificates of deposit by state and national banks domiciled in this state that are (A) guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit 19 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED E. Cash and Investments - Continued Insurance Corporation, or its successor; or, (B) secured by obligations that are described by (1) - (4); or, (6) fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a defined termination date, secured by obligations described by (1), pledged with third party selected or approved by the District, and placed through a primary government securities dealer. All investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. F. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, and equipment, are reported in the government-wide financial statements. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are valued at their fair market value on the date donated. Repairs and maintenance are recorded as expenses. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Interest has not been capitalized during the construction period on property, plant and equipment. Assets capitalized have an original cost of $5,000 or more and over one year of useful life. Depreciation has been calculated on each class of depreciable property using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings 50 Years Improvements other than buildings 15-30 Years Machinery and equipment 5-15 Years Vehicles 6-12 Years Water and wastewater systems 30-65 Years G. Accumulated Vacation, Compensated Time and Sick Leave The District has no employees of its own, but instead, personnel services are furnished under a contract with the Town of Trophy Club, Texas. The District records an allocation of personnel costs from the Town in personnel expense accounts rather than as single line item payable to the Town. Accordingly, the District also records current payroll and an allocation in compensated absences earned by the personnel assigned to it. The District reports this liability using the Town's vacation policy; however, the Town retains primary liability for its employee vacation pay. 20 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED H. Organizational Costs The District, in conformance with requirements of the TCEQ, capitalized costs incurred in the creation of the District. The TCEQ requires capitalization of organizational costs for the construction period, all costs incurred in the issue and sale of bonds, bond interest and amortized bond premium and discount losses on sales of investments, accrued interest on investments purchased, attorney fees and some administrative expenses until construction and acceptance or use of the first revenue producing facility has occurred. The District amortizes the organizational costs using the straight-line method over a period of 22 to 45 years. I. Net Assets Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets, and adding back unspent proceeds. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislations adopted by the District or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments. J. Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses/expenditures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. K. Fund Balances The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions (GASB 54). This Statement defines the different types of fund balances that a governmental entity must use for financial reporting purposes in the fund financial statements for governmental type funds. It does not apply for the government-wide financial statements. GASB 54 requires the fund balance amounts to be properly reported within one of the following fund balance categories: Nonspendable - such as fund balance associated with inventories, prepaids, long-term loans and notes receivable, and property held for resale (unless the proceeds are restricted, committed, or assigned) 21 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED K. Fund Balances - Continued Restricted - fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation, Committed - fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the Board of Directors (the district's highest level of decision-making authority), Assigned - fund balance classification are intended to be used by the government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed, and Unassigned - fund balance is the residual classification for the government's general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications, and other fund's that have total negative fund balances. NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS The funds of the District must be deposited and invested under the terms of a contract, contents of which are set out in the Depository Contract Law. The depository bank places approved pledged securities for safekeeping and trust with the District's agent bank in an amount sufficient to protect District funds on a day-to-day basis during the period of the contract. The pledge of approved securities is waived only to the extent of the depository bank's dollar amount of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance. At September 30, 2011, the carrying amount of the District's deposits (cash, certificates of deposit, and interest-bearing savings accounts included in temporary investments) was $619,096 and the bank balance was $848,446. The District's cash deposits at September 30, 2011, and during the year then ended were entirely covered by FDIC insurance or by pledged collateral held by the District's agent bank in the District's name. The Public Funds Investment Act (Government Code Chapter 2256) contains specific provisions in the areas of investment practices, management reports and establishment of appropriate policies. Among other things, it requires the District to adopt, implement, and publicize an investment policy. That policy must address the following areas; (1) safety of principal and liquidity, (2) portfolio diversification, (3) allowable investments, (4) acceptable risk levels, (5) expected rates of return, (6) maximum allowable stated maturity of portfolio investments, (7) maximum average dollar-weighted maturity, allowed based on the stated maturity date for the portfolio, (8) investment staff quality and capabilities, (9) and bid solicitation preferences for certificates of deposit. 22 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2.

CASH AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the District manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by investing mainly in investment pools which purchase a combination of shorter term investments with an average maturity of less than 60 days thus reducing the interest rate risk. The District monitors the interest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by measuring the weighted average maturity of its portfolio. The District has no specific limitations with respect to this metric. As of September 30, 2011, the District had the following investment: Investment Type TexPool Total Investments Amount Weighted Average Maturity $ 2,895,830 34 days $ 2,895,830 As of September 30, 2011, the District did not invest in any securities which are highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the Public Funds Investment Act, the District's investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type. Investment Type Amount Minimum Legal Rating Rating as of Year End TexPool 2,895,830 N/A AAAm Total Investments 2,895,830 Concentration of Credit Risk The investment policy of the District contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer. As of September 30, 2011, other than external investment pools, the District did not have 5% or more of its investments with one issuer. 24 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The Public Funds Investment Act and the District's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The Public Funds Investment Act requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least the bank balance less FDIC insurance at all times. As of September 30, 2011 the District deposits with financial institutions were not in excess of federal depository insurance limits. Investment in State Investment Pools The District is a voluntary participant in TexPool. The State Comptroller of Public Accounts exercises responsibility over TexPool. This oversight includes the ability to significantly influence operations, designation of management, and accountability for fiscal matters. Additionally, the State Comptroller has established an advisory board composed of both participants in TexPool and other persons who do not have a business relationship with TexPool. TexPool operates in a manner consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. TexPool uses amortized costs rather than market value to report net assets to compute share prices. Accordingly, the fair value of the position in TexPool is the same as the value of TexPool shares. 25 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 3.

PROPERTY TAXES Property taxes are levied as of October 1, on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1, for all real and certain personal property located in the District and MUD2 (the "Districts"). The appraisal of property within the District is the responsibility of Denton Appraisal District (Appraisal District) as required by legislation passed by the Texas legislature. The Appraisal District is required under such legislation to assess all property within the Appraisal District on the basis of 100% of its appraised value and is prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. The value of property within the Appraisal District must be reviewed every five years; however, the District may, at its own expense, require annual reviews of appraised values. The Districts may challenge appraised values established by the Appraisal District through various appeals and, if necessary, legal action. Property taxes for the Districts are not limited as to rate or amount. In an election held October 7, 1975, the electorate of the Districts authorized the levy of up to $0.25 per $100 valuation per District for the operations and maintenance of the Districts. Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1, following the levy date. Taxes are due by January 31, following the levy date. Property taxes are recorded as receivables when levied. Following is information regarding the 2011 tax levies: Adjusted taxable values $ 993,169,500 O & M Fire tax levy $0.11804/$100 1,284,669 I&Staxlevy $0.07696/$100 763,303 Total tax levy $0.1950/$100 $ 2,047,972 32 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 8.

Assigned Fund Balances The District assigned $265,082 of General Fund fund balances to offset expected fiscal year 2012 budgetary deficits for general operations and the fire department. The District assigned a total of $556,175 of General Fund fund balances for the following: $21,000 for water plant equipment, $219,414 for future technology acquisitions, and $315,761 for fiscal year 2012 expected transfers to the Capital Projects Fund. Fund Balance Deficits The Capital Projects Fund has a fund balance deficit at September 30, 2011 of $302,466. In fiscal year 2012, the District intends to transfer funds from the General Fund to eliminate the deficit. NOTE 9. RISK MANAGEMENT The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; business interruption; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; employee health benefits; and other claims of various nature. Commercial insurance is purchased for the risks of loss to which the District is exposed. Any losses reported but unsettled or incurred and not reported, are believed to be insignificant to the District's basic financial statements. Additionally, the District must operate in compliance with rules and regulations mandated for public water supply systems by federal and state governments. The District is subject to compliance oversight by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Fiscal Year 2011 TCEQ Compliance In October of 2011, the District notified TCEQ of inaccuracies in previously submitted, monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's). The inaccuracies related to the laboratory measurement results for Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (CBOD). The District submitted corrected DMR's to TCEQ, but has not been formally notified by TCEQ of the resulting action, if any, that will occur due to the reported inaccuracies. 33 TROPHY CLUB MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 10.

This offer is made subject to the Issuer's written acceptance hereof on or before 10:00 p.m. Central time, on the date hereof, and, if not so accepted, will be subject to withdrawal by the Underwriter upon notice delivered to the Issuer at any time prior to the acceptance hereof by the Issuer. Terms not otherwise defined in this Contract shall have the same meanings set forth in the Bond Order (as defined herein) or in the Official Statement (as defined herein). 1. Purchase and Sale of the Bonds. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, the Underwriter hereby agrees to purchase from the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby agrees to sell and deliver to the Underwriter, all, but not less than all, of the Issuer's $2,355,000 Unlimited Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2012 (the "Bonds"). The Bonds are to be issued, secured and sold under the provisions of an order (the "Order") adopted by the Board of Directors of the Issuer on December 20, 2011, and shall have the terms and features (including those with respect to price and rates) as set forth in the Pricing Certificate (as defined in the Order)(the Order and the Pricing Certificate are jointly referred to herein as the "Bond Order"). The Pricing Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the representative of the Issuer (the "Pricing Officer") named in the Order and shall be dated the date hereof. The principal amount of the Bonds to be issued, the dated date therefor, the maturities, redemption provisions, yields and interest rates per annum are set forth in Schedule I attached hereto. The Bonds shall otherwise have such terms and provisions as set forth and described in the Official Statement referred to below. The purchase price for the Bonds shall be $2,470,257.70 (representing the principal amount of the Bonds, plus an original issue premium of $136,075.20 and less an underwriting discount of $20,817.50) plus interest accrued on the Bonds from March 1, 2012, to the date of Closing (as hereinafter defined). 77641135.2/08013523 Delivered to the Issuer herewith as a good faith deposit is a corporate check of the Underwriter payable to the order of the Issuer in the amount of $23,550. In the event the Issuer accepts this Contract, such check shall be held uncashed by the Issuer until the time of Closing, at which time such check shall be returned uncashed to the Underwriter. In the event that the Issuer does not accept this Contract, such check will be immediately returned to the Underwriter. Should the Issuer fail to deliver the Bonds at the Closing, or should the Issuer be unable to satisfy the conditions of the obligations of the Underwriter to purchase, accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds, as set forth in this Contract (unless waived by the Underwriter), or should such obligations of the Underwriter be terminated for any reason permitted by this Contract, such check shall immediately be returned to the Underwriter. In the event that the Underwriter fails (other than for a reason permitted hereunder) to purchase, accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds at the Closing as herein provided, such check shall be cashed and the amount thereof retained by the Issuer as and for fully liquidated damages for such failure of the Underwriter, and, except as set forth in Sections 8 and 10 hereof, no party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder. The Underwriter and the Issuer understand that in such event the Issuer's actual damages may be greater or may be less than such amount. Accordingly, the Underwriter hereby waives any right to claim that the Issuer's actual damages are less than such amount, and the Issuer's acceptance of this Contract shall constitute a waiver of any right the Issuer may have to additional damages from the Underwriter. The Underwriter hereby agrees not to stop or cause payment on the check to be stopped unless the Issuer has breached any of the terms of this Contract. 2. Public Offering. The Underwriter agrees to make a bona fide public offering of all of the Bonds at a price not to exceed the public offering prices set forth on page ii of the Official Statement and may subsequently change such offering prices without any requirement of prior notice. The Underwriter may offer and sell Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers depositing Bonds into investment trusts) and others at prices lower than the public offering prices stated on page ii of the Official Statement; provided that on or before the Closing, the Underwriter shall execute and deliver to McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P., Dallas, Texas ("Bond Counsel") an issue price certificate for the Bonds prepared by Bond Counsel verifying the initial offering prices to the public at which the Underwriter reasonably expected to sell or in fact sold a substantial amount of each stated maturity of the Bonds to the public. 3. The Official Statement. (a) Preliminary Official Statement. The Issuer previously has delivered, or caused to be delivered, copies of a Preliminary Official Statement, dated February 7, 2012, relating to the Bonds (the "Preliminary Official Statement"), to the Underwriter for its use in determining interest in the Bonds. The Issuer confirms that it has not prepared any document for dissemination to potential customers in connection with any offering of the Bonds (and will not do so without the consent of the Underwriter prior to the availability of the final Official Statement described below), except the Preliminary Official Statement. The Issuer prepared the Preliminary Official Statement for use by the Underwriter in connection with the public offering, sale and distribution of the Bonds. The Issuer hereby ratifies and approves the use by the Underwriter of the Preliminary Official Statement prior to the date hereof, and until the availability of the final Official Statement, in connection with the public offering of the Bonds. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that it deemed the Preliminary Official Statement final, within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 issued by the United States Securities and Exchange 77641135.2/08013523 2 Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule"), as of its date, except for the omission of information specified in Section (b)(1) of the Rule, as permitted by Section (b)(1) of the Rule. The Issuer hereby confirms that it does not object to the distribution of the Preliminary Official Statement in electronic form. (b) Final Official Statement. The Issuer shall prepare and provide, or cause to be provided, to the Underwriter as soon as practicable after the date of the Issuer's acceptance of this Contract (but, in any event, not later than within seven business days after the Issuer's acceptance of this Contract and in sufficient time to accompany any confirmation that requests payment from any customer) a final Official Statement which is complete as of the date of its delivery to the Underwriter, in such quantity and formats as the Underwriter shall request, and in any event in a "designated electronic format" (as defined in MSRB Rule G-32), in order for the Underwriter to comply with Section (b)(4) of the Rule and the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB"). Such final Official Statement shall be substantially in form of the Preliminary Official Statement, with only such changes therein as shall have been accepted by the Underwriter or as shall be permitted by the Rule or the rules of the MSRB. Such final Official Statement, including the cover page, all exhibits, appendices, maps, pictures, diagrams, reports and statements included or incorporated therein or attached thereto, and any amendments and supplements thereto that may be authorized for use with respect to the Bonds, is herein referred to as the "Official Statement." The Issuer hereby authorizes the Underwriter to use the Official Statement and the information contained therein in connection with the public offering and the sale of the Bonds. The Issuer hereby confirms that it does not object to the distribution of the Official Statement in electronic form. If, for any reason, the Issuer is unable or otherwise fails to deliver the final Official Statement to the Underwriter in compliance with this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver the Preliminary Official Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto, to the Underwriter in a "designated electronic format" at least one business day before the date of the Closing. The Issuer additionally shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Underwriter on or before the date of the Closing (and, in any event, not later than within five business days of the date of the Closing) a copy of the fully executed Escrow Agreement (defined herein) in a "designated electronic format". (c) If, after the date of this Contract to and including the date the Underwriter is no longer required to provide an Official Statement to potential customers who request the same pursuant to the Rule (the earlier of (i) 90 days from the "end of the underwriting period", as defined in the Rule, and (ii) the time when the Official Statement is available to any person from the MSRB, but in no case less than 25 days after the "end of the underwriting period" for the Bonds), the Issuer becomes aware of any fact or event which might or would cause the Official Statement, as then supplemented or amended, to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Official Statement to comply with law, the Issuer will notify the Underwriter (and for the purposes of this clause provide the Underwriter with such information as the Underwriter may from time to time request), and if, in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriter, such fact or event requires preparation and publication of a supplement or amendment to the Official Statement, the Issuer will prepare and furnish, at the Issuer's sole expense, in such quantity and in formats as the Underwriter shall request, and in a "designated electronic format", in order for the Underwriter to comply with Section (b)(4) of the Rule and the rules of the MSRB, copies of either amendments or supplements to the Official Statement so that the statements in the Official 77641135.2/08013523 3 Statement as so amended and supplemented will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or so that the Official Statement will comply with law; provided, however, that for all purposes of this Contract and any certificate delivered by the Issuer in accordance herewith, the Issuer makes no representations with respect to the descriptions in the Preliminary Official Statement or the Official Statement of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), or its book-entry-only system. If such notification shall be subsequent to the Closing, the Issuer shall furnish such legal opinions, certificates, instruments and other documents as the Underwriter may reasonably request to evidence the truth and accuracy of such supplement or amendment to the Official Statement. Additionally, if amendments are made to the Escrow Agreement during the period described above, the Issuer will prepare and provide, or cause to be provided, at the Issuer's sole expense, to the Underwriter a copy of the amendment or amendments to the Escrow Agreement in a "designated electronic format". (d) The Underwriter hereby agrees to timely file the Official Statement and the Escrow Agreement (and any supplements or amendments thereto) with the MSRB in the format prescribed by the MSRB. Unless otherwise notified in writing by the Underwriter, the Issuer can assume that the "end of the underwriting period" for purposes of the Rule is the date of the Closing. 4.

Any balance in the Escrow Fund set forth in the opinion of the independent certified public account as not necessary to pay, without further investment or reinvestment, as the same become due, the principal of, interest on and premium, if any, on the Refunded Obligations which have not previously been paid shall be transferred to the Issuer.

Dated: March 5, 2012 Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 TAB 12 FEDERAL TAX CERTIFICATE 1. In General. 1.1. The undersigned is the District Manager of the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the "Issuer"). 1.2. This Certificate is executed for the purpose of establishing the reasonable expectations of the Issuer as to future events regarding the Issuer's Unlimited Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2012 (the "Bonds"). The Bonds are being issued pursuant to an order of the Issuer (the "Order") adopted on the date of sale of the Bonds. The Order is incorporated herein by reference. 1.3. To the best of the undersigned's knowledge, information and belief, the expectations contained in this Federal Tax Certificate are reasonable. 1.4. The undersigned is an officer of the Issuer delegated with the responsibility, among others, of issuing and delivering the Bonds. 1.5. The undersigned is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause him to question the accuracy of the representations made by First Southwest Company (the "Underwriter") in the Issue Price Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit "D", and by Southwest Securities, Inc. (the "Financial Advisor") in Subsections 2.2 and 5.3 of this Certificate and with respect to the Schedules attached hereto as Exhibit "E". 2. The Purpose of the Bonds and Useful Lives of Projects. 2.1. The purpose for the issuance of the Bonds, as more fully described in the Order, is to establish an Escrow Fund (the "Escrow Fund") pursuant to an Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") between the Issuer and an escrow agent to refund the outstanding obligations of the Issuer as listed in Exhibit "B" to the Escrow Agreement (the "Outstanding Bonds") and to pay the related expenses of issuing the Bonds. The Escrow Agreement is included in the transcript for the Bonds and incorporated herein by reference. 2.2. The Financial Advisor has represented that the Issuer will realize a present value debt service savings (determined without regard to administrative expenses) in connection with the issuance of the Bonds and the refunding of the Outstanding Bonds. The Outstanding Bonds will be redeemed on the earliest date on which the Outstanding Bonds can be redeemed. The proceeds deposited to the Escrow Fund will not exceed the amount required to pay the principal of and interest on the Outstanding Bonds and will not be reinvested. Accordingly, after taking into account proceeds used to pay costs of issuance and accrued interest, the Issuer expects that "excess gross proceeds" within the meaning of section 1.148-10(c) of the Treasury Regulations will not exceed one percent of the sale proceeds of the Bonds. 2.3. The Bonds are the first advance refunding of the Outstanding Bonds, which were originally issued by the Issuer after December 31, 1985. 2.4. The proceeds of the Outstanding Bonds were used to provide for the financing of a wastewater treatment plant expansion; ground storage installation; 21-inch water line additional capacity and waste water treatment plant connection charges (the "Outstanding Projects"). The Outstanding Projects remain in service and have not been sold or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer. 2.5. The Issuer expects that 120 percent of the aggregate useful lives of the Outstanding Projects, on the later of the date that the Outstanding Projects were placed in service or the date of issuance of the Outstanding Bonds, will exceed 18 years. 2.6. Other than members of the general public, the Issuer expects that throughout the lesser of the term of the Bonds, or the useful lives of the Outstanding Projects, the only user of the Outstanding Projects will be the Issuer or the Issuer's employees and agents. The Issuer will be the manager of the Outstanding Projects. The Issuer does not expect to enter into long-term sales of output from the Outstanding Projects and sales of output will be made on the basis of generally-applicable and uniformly applied rates. The Issuer may apply different rates for different classes of customers, including volume purchasers, which are reasonable and customary. In no event will the proceeds of the Bonds or facilities financed therewith be used for private business use in an amount greater than $15 million. 2.7. Except as stated below, the Issuer expects not to sell or otherwise dispose of property constituting the Outstanding Projects prior to the earlier of the end of such property's useful life or the final maturity of the Bonds. The Order provides that the Issuer will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Outstanding Projects unless the Issuer receives an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. 2.8. For purposes of Subsection 2.7 hereof, the Issuer has not included the portion of the Outstanding Projects comprised of personal property that is disposed in the ordinary course at a price that is expected to be less than 25 percent of the original purchase price. The Issuer, upon any disposition of such property, will transfer the receipts from the disposition of such property to the general operating fund and expend such receipts within six months for other governmental programs. 3. Yields. 3.1. The issue price of the Bonds included in the Form 8038-G, is based on the Issue Price Certificate attached hereto. 3.2. The Issuer has not entered into any qualified guarantee or qualified hedge with respect to the Bonds. The yield on the Bonds will not be affected by subsequent unexpected events, except to the extent provided in section 1.148-4(h)(3) of the Treasury Regulations when and if the Issuer enters into a qualified hedge or into any transaction transferring, waiving or modifying any right that is part of the terms of any Bond. The Issuer will consult with nationally recognized bond counsel prior to entering into any of the foregoing transactions. 4. Transferred Proceeds, Excess Proceeds and Disposition Proceeds. 4.1. As of the date of this Certificate, all of the amounts received from the sale of the Outstanding Bonds and the investment earnings thereon have been expended. 4.2. The Issuer has no reason to believe nor has any expectation that a device has been or will be employed in connection with the issuance of the Bonds to obtain a material financial advantage (based on arbitrage) apart from savings attributable to lower interest rates. All of the proceeds of the Bonds, other than an amount, if any, which is less than one percent of the sale proceeds of the Bonds, will be used either to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds or to pay principal and interest on the Outstanding Bonds. 2 5. Debt Service Fund. 5.1. The Order creates a special Debt Service Fund solely for the benefit of the Bonds (the "Debt Service Fund"). Other than as described herein, money deposited in the Debt Service Fund will be used to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds (the "Bona Fide Debt Service Portion"). The Bona Fide Debt Service Portion constitutes a fund that is used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues and debt service within each bond year. Such portion will be completely depleted at least once each year except for an amount not in excess of the greater of (a) one-twelfth of the debt service on the Bonds for the previous year, or (b) the previous year's earnings on such portion of the Debt Service Fund. Amounts deposited in the Debt Service Fund constituting the Bona Fide Debt Service Portion will be spent within a thirteen-month period beginning on the date of deposit, and any amount received from the investment of money held in the Debt Service Fund will be spent within a one-year period beginning on the date of receipt. 5.2. A portion of the funds on deposit in the Debt Service Fund, not otherwise used to pay debt service on the Bonds within thirteen months, will be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds (the "Reserve Portion"). If on any interest payment or maturity date, sufficient amounts are not available to make debt service payments on the Bonds, the Issuer is required to use such money constituting the Reserve Portion in an amount sufficient to make such payments. The present value of the investments deposited to the Reserve Portion of the Debt Service Fund and allocable to the Bonds and to the unrefunded portion of the issue of obligations of which the Outstanding Bonds are part that will be invested at a yield higher than the yield on such bonds will not, as of any date, exceed an aggregate amount which equals the lesser of (a) 10 percent of the stated principal amount (or, in the case of a discount, the issue price) of the Bonds, (b) 1.25 of the average annual debt service on the Bonds, or (c) maximum annual debt service on the Bonds. 5.3. Based on the representation of the Financial Advisor, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Portion of the Debt Service Fund should be maintained as a balance allocable to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund consistent with accepted standards of prudent fiscal management for similar governmental bodies and in order to provide a reserve against periodic fluctuations in the amount and timing of payment of ad valorem taxes to the Issuer. 5.4. Any money deposited in the Debt Service Fund and any amounts received from the investment thereof that accumulate and remain on hand therein after thirteen months from the date of deposit of any such money or one year after the receipt of any such amounts from the investment thereof shall constitute a third and separate portion of the Debt Service Fund. The yield on any investments allocable to the portion of the Debt Service Fund exceeding of the sum of (a) the Bona Fide Debt Service Portion, (b) the Reserve Portion and (c) an amount equal to the lesser of five percent of the sale and investment proceeds of the Bonds or $ 100,000 will be restricted to a yield that does not exceed the yield on the Bonds. 6. Invested Sinking Fund Proceeds, Replacement Proceeds. 6.1. The Issuer has, in addition to the moneys received from the sale of the Bonds, certain other moneys that are invested in various funds which are pledged for various purposes. These other funds are not available to accomplish the purposes described in Section 2 of this Certificate. 6.2. Other than the Debt Service Fund, there are, and will be, no other funds or accounts established, or to be established, by or on behalf of the Issuer (a) which are reasonably expected to be used, or to generate earnings to be used, to pay debt service on the Bonds, or (b) which are reserved or pledged as collateral for payment of debt service on the Bonds and for which there is reasonable assurance that amounts 3 therein will be available to pay such debt service if the Issuer encounters financial difficulties. Accordingly, there are no other amounts constituting "gross proceeds" of the Bonds, within the meaning of section 148 of the Code. 7. Other Obligations. There are no other obligations of the Issuer, that (a) are sold at substantially the same time as the Bonds, i.e., within 15 days of the date of sale of the Bonds, (b) are sold pursuant to a common plan of financing with the Bonds, and (c) will be payable from the same source of funds as the Bonds. 8. Federal Tax Audit Responsibilities. The Issuer acknowledges that in the event of an examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") to determine compliance of the Bonds with the provisions of the Code as they relate to tax-exempt obligations, the Issuer will respond, and will direct its agents and assigns to respond, in a commercially reasonable manner to any inquiries from the Service in connection with such an examination. The Issuer understands and agrees that the examination may be subject to public disclosure under applicable Texas law. 9. Record Retention and Private Business Use. The Issuer has covenanted in the Order that it will comply with the requirements of the Code relating to the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code. The Service has determined that certain materials, records and information should be retained by the issuers of tax-exempt obligations for the purpose of enabling the Service to confirm the exclusion of the interest on such obligations under section 103 of the Code. ACCORDINGLY, THE ISSUER SHALL TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT ALL MATERIALS, RECORDS AND INFORMATION NECESSARY TO CONFIRM THE EXCLUSION OF THE INTEREST ON THE BONDS UNDER SECTION 103 OF THE CODE ARE RETAINED FOR THE PERIOD BEGINNING ON THE ISSUE DATE OF THE OUTSTANDING BONDS OR, IN THE CASE OF A SEQUENCE OF REFUNDINGS, THE ISSUE DATE OF THE OBLIGATIONS ORIGINALLY FINANCING THE OUTSTANDING PROJECT AND ENDING THREE YEARS AFTER THE DATE THE BONDS ARE RETIRED. The Issuer acknowledges receipt of the letters attached hereto as Exhibit "B" which discusses limitations related to private business use and Exhibit "C" which, in part, discusses specific guidance by the Service with respect to the retention of records relating to tax-exempt bond transactions. The Issuer also acknowledges that Exhibit "C" does not constitute an opinion of Bond Counsel as to the proper record retention policy applicable to any specific transaction. 10. Rebate to United States. The Issuer has covenanted in the Order that it will comply with the requirements of the Code, including section 148(f) of the Code, relating to the required rebate to the United States. Specifically, the Issuer will take steps to ensure that all earnings on gross proceeds of the Bonds in excess of the yield on the Bonds required to be rebated to the United States will be timely paid to the United States. The Issuer acknowledges receipt of the memorandum attached hereto as Exhibit "A" which discusses regulations promulgated pursuant to section 148(f) of the Code. This memorandum does not constitute an opinion of Bond Counsel as to the proper federal tax or accounting treatment of any specific transaction.

On June 18, 1993, the U.S. Treasury Department promulgated regulations relating to the computation of arbitrage rebate and the rebate exceptions. These regulations, which replace the previously-published regulations promulgated on May 15, 1989, and on May 18, 1992, are effective for bonds issued after June 30,1993. This memorandum was prepared by McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. and provides a general discussion of these arbitrage rebate regulations. This memorandum does not otherwise discuss the general arbitrage regulations, other than as they may incidentally relate to rebate. This memorandum also does not attempt to provide an exhaustive discussion of the arbitrage rebate regulations and should not be considered advice with respect to the arbitrage rebate requirements as applied to any individual or governmental unit or any specific transaction. Any tax advice contained in this memorandum is of a general nature and is not intended to be used, and should not be used, by any person to avoid penalties under the Code. McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. remains available to provide legal advice to issuers with respect to the provisions of these tax regulations but recommends that issuers seek competent financial and accounting assistance in calculating the amount of such issuer's rebate liability under section 148(f) of the Code and in making elections to apply the rebate exceptions. Effective Dates 1 In this memorandum the word "bond" is defined to include any bond, note, certificate, financing lease or other obligation of an issuer. Copyright 2006 by Harold T. Flanagan, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. All rights reserved. The regulations promulgated on June 18,1993, generally apply to bonds delivered after June 30, 1993, although they do permit an issuer to elect to apply the rules to bonds issued priorto that date. The temporary regulations adopted by the U.S. Treasury Department in 1989 and 1992 incorporated the same effective dates which generally apply for purposes of section 148(f) of the Code. As such, the previous versions of the rebate regulations generally applied to bonds issued between August 1986 and June 30,1993 (or, with an election, to bonds issued priorto August 15,1993). The statutory provisions of section 148(f) of the Code, other than the exception for construction issues, apply to all bonds issued after August 15,1986, (for private activity bonds) and August 31, 1986, (for governmental public purpose bonds). The statutory exception to rebate applicable for construction issues generally applies if such issue is delivered after December 19, 1989. The regulations provide numerous transitional rules for bonds sold priorto July 1,1993. Moreover, since, under prior law, rules were previously published with respect to industrial development bonds and mortgage revenue bonds, the transitional rules contained in these regulations permit an issuer to elect to apply certain of these rules for computing rebate on pre- 1986 bonds. The regulations provide for numerous elections which would permit an issuer to apply the rules (other than 18-month spending exception) to bonds which were issued prior to July 1, 1993 and remain outstanding on June 30, 1993. Due to the complexity of the regulations, it is impossible to discuss in this memorandum all circumstances for which specific elections are provided. If an issuer prefers to use these final version of rebate regulations in lieu of the computational method stated under prior law (e.g., due to prior redemption) or the regulations, please contact McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. for advice as to the availability of such options. Future Value Computation Method The regulations employ an actuarial method for computing the rebate amount based on the future value of the investment receipts (i.e., earnings) and payments. The rebate method employs a two-step computation to determine the amount of the rebate payment. First, the issuer determines the bond yield. Second, the issuer determines the arbitrage rebate amount. The regulations require that the computations be made at the end of each five-year period and upon final maturity of the issue (the "computation dates"). THE FINAL MATURITY DATE WILL ACCELERATE IN CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THE BONDS ARE OPTIONALLY REDEEMED PRIOR TO MATURITY. AS SUCH, IF BONDS ARE REFUNDED OR OTHERWISE REDEEMED, THE REBATE MAY BE DUE EARLIER THAN INITIALLY PROJECTED. In order to accommodate accurate record-keeping and to assure that sufficient amounts will be available for the payment of arbitrage rebate liability, however, we recommend that the computations be performed at least annually. Please refer to other materials provided by McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. relating to federal tax rules regarding record retention. Under the future value method, the amount of rebate is determined by compounding the aggregate earnings on all the investments from the date of receipt by the issuer to the computation date. Similarly, a payment for an investment is future valued from the date that the payment is made to the computation date. The receipts and payments are future valued at a discount rate equal to the yield on the bonds. The rebatable arbitrage, as of any computation date, is equal to the excess of the (1) future value of all receipts from investments (i.e., earnings), over (2) the future value of all payments. McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 2 The following example is provided in the regulations to illustrate how arbitrage rebate is computed under the future value method for a fixed-yield bond: "On January 1, 1994, City A issues a fixed yield issue and invests all the sale proceeds of the issue ($49 million). There are no other gross proceeds. The issue has a yield of 7.0000 percent per year compounded semiannually (computed on a 30 day month/360 day year basis). City A receives amounts from the investment and immediately expends them for the governmental purpose of the issue as follows: Date Amount 2/1/1994 $ 3,000,000 4/1/1994 5,000,000 6/1/1994 14,000,000 9/1/1994 20,000,000 7/1/1995 10,000,000 City A selects a bond year ending on January 1, and thus the first required computation date is January 1, 1999. The rebate amount as of this date is computed by determining the future value of the receipts and the payments for the investment. The compounding interval is each 6-month (or shorter) period and the 30 day month/360 day year basis is used because these conventions were used to compute yield on the issue. The future value of these amounts, plus the computation credit, as of January 1, 1999, is: Date Receipts (Payments) FY (7.0000 percent) 01/1/1994 ($49,000,000) ($69,119,339) 02/1/1994 3,000,000 4,207,602 04/1/1994 5,000,000 6,932,715 06/1/1994 14,000,000 19,190,277 09/1/1994 20,000,000 26,947,162 01/1/1995 (1,000) (1,317) 07/1/1995 10,000,000 12,722,793 01/1/1996 (1,000) (1.229) Rebate amount (01/01/1999) $878.664" General Method for Computing Yield on Bonds In general, the term "yield," with respect to a bond, means the discount rate that when used in computing the present value of all unconditionally due payments of principal and interest and all of the payments for a qualified guarantee produces an amount equal to the issue price of the bond. The term "issue price" has the same meaning as provided in sections 1273 and 1274 of the Code. That is, if bonds are publicly offered (i.e., sold by the issuer to a bond house, broker or similar person acting in the capacity of underwriter or wholesaler), the issue price of each bond is determined on the basis of the initial offering price to the public (not McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 3 to the aforementioned intermediaries) at which price a substantial amount of such bond was sold to the public (not to the aforementioned intermediaries). The "issue price" is separately determined for each bond (i.e., maturity) comprising an issue. The regulations also provide varying periods for computing yield on the bonds depending on the method by which the interest payment is determined. Thus, for example, yield on an issue of bonds sold with variable interest rates (i.e., interest rates which are reset periodically based on changes in market) is computed separately for each annual period ending on the first anniversary of the delivery date that the issue is outstanding. In effect, yield on a variable yield issue is determined on each computation date by "looking back" at the interest payments for such period. The regulations, however, permit an issuer of a variable-yield issue to elect to compute the yield for annual periods ending on any date in order to permit a matching of such yield to the expenditure of the proceeds. Any such election must be made in writing, is irrevocable, and must be made no later than the earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary date, or (2) the final maturity date. Yield on a fixed interest rate issue (i.e., an issue of bonds the interest rate on which is determined as of the date of the issue) is computed over the entire term of the issue. Issuers of fixed-yield issues generally use the yield computed as of the date of issue for all rebate computations. Such yield on fixed-yield issues generally is recomputed only if (1) the issue is sold at a substantial premium, may be retired within five years of the date of delivery, and such date is earlier than its scheduled maturity date, or (2) the issue is a stepped-coupon bond. In such cases, the regulations require the issuer to recompute the yield on such issues by taking into account the early retirement value of the bonds. Similarly, recomputation may occur in circumstances in which the issuer or bondholder modify or waive certain terms of, or rights with respect to, the issue or in sophisticated hedging transactions. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, ISSUERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT McCALL. PARKHURST & HORTON LLP. TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THESE TRANSACTIONS. For purposes of determining the principal or redemption payments on a bond, different rules are used for fixed-rate and variable-rate bonds. The payment is computed separately on each maturity of bonds rather than on the issue as a whole. In certain circumstances, the yield on the bond is determined by assuming that principal on the bond is paid as scheduled and that the bond is retired on the final maturity date for the stated retirement price. For bonds subject to early redemption or stepped-coupon bonds, described above, or for bonds subject to mandatory early redemption, the yield is computed assuming the bonds are paid on the early redemption date for an amount equal to their value. Premiums paid to guarantee the payment of debt service on bonds are taken into account in computing the yield on the bond. Payments for guarantees are taken into account by treating such premiums as the payment of interest on the bonds. This treatment, in effect, raises the yield on the bond, thereby permitting the issuer to recover such fee with excess earnings. The guarantee must be an unconditional obligation of the guarantor enforceable by the bondholder for the payment of principal or interest on the bond or the tender price of a tender bond. The guarantee may be in the form of an insurance policy, surety bond, irrevocable letter or line of credit, or standby purchase agreement. Importantly, the guarantor must be legally entitled to full reimbursement for any payment made on the guarantee either immediately or McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 4 upon commercially reasonable repayment terms. The guarantor may not be a co-obligor of the bonds or a user of more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the bonds. Payments for the guarantee may not exceed a reasonable charge for the transfer of credit risk. This reasonable charge requirement is not satisfied unless it is reasonably expected that the guarantee will result in a net present value savings on the bond (i.e., the premium does not exceed the present value of the interest savings resulting by virtue of the guarantee). If the guarantee is entered into after June 14, 1989, then any fees charged for the nonguarantee services must be separately stated or the guarantee fee is not recoverable. The regulations also treat certain "hedging" transactions in a manner similarto qualified guarantees. "Hedges" are contracts, e.g., interest rate swaps, futures contracts or options, which are intended to reduce the risk of interest rate fluctuations. Hedges and other financial derivatives are sophisticated and ever-evolving financial products with which a memorandum, such as this, can not readily deal. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES. ISSUERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT McCALL. PARKHURST & HORTON L.L.P. TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THESE TRANSACTIONS. Earnings on Nonpurpose Investments The arbitrage rebate provisions apply only to the receipts from the investment of "gross proceeds" in "nonpurpose investments." For this purpose, nonpurpose investments are stock, bonds or other obligations acquired with the gross proceeds of the bonds for the period prior to the expenditure of the gross proceeds for the ultimate purpose. For example, investments deposited to construction funds, reserve funds (including surplus taxes or revenues deposited to sinking funds) or other similar funds are nonpurpose investments. Such investments include only those which are acquired with "gross proceeds." For this purpose, the term "gross proceeds" includes original proceeds received from the sale of the bonds, investment earnings from the investment of such original proceeds, amounts pledged to the payment of debt service on the bonds or amounts actually used to pay debt service on the bonds. The regulations do not provide a sufficient amount of guidance to include an exhaustive list of "gross proceeds" for this purpose; however, it can be assumed that "gross proceeds" represent all amounts received from the sale of bonds, amounts earned as a result of such sale or amounts (including taxes and revenues) which are used to pay, or secure the payment of, debt service for the bonds. The total amount of "gross proceeds" allocated to a bond generally can not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the bonds. The regulations provide that an investment is allocated to an issue for the period (1) that begins on the date gross proceeds are used to acquire the investment, and (2) that ends on the date such investment ceases to be allocated to the issue. In general, proceeds are allocated to a bond issue until expended for the ultimate purpose for which the bond was issued or for which such proceeds are received (e.g., construction of a bond-financed facility or payment of debt service on the bonds). Deposit of gross proceeds to the general fund of the issuer (or other fund in which they are commingled with revenues or taxes) does not eliminate or ameliorate the Issuer's obligation to compute rebate in most cases. As such, proceeds commingled with the general revenues of the issuer are not "freed-up" from the rebate obligation. An exception to this commingling limitation for bonds, other than private activity bonds, permits "investment earnings" (but not sale proceeds or other types of gross proceeds) to be considered spent when deposited to a commingled fund if those amounts are reasonably McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 5 expected to be spent within six months. Other than for these amounts, issuers may consider segregating investments in order to more easily compute the amount of such arbitrage earnings by not having to allocate investments. Special rules are provided for purposes of advance refundings. These rules are too complex to discuss in this memorandum. Essentially, the rules relating to refundings, however, do not require that amounts deposited to the escrow fund to defease the prior obligations of the issuer be subject to arbitrage rebate to the extent that the investments deposited to the escrow fund do not have a yield in excess of the yield on the bonds. Any loss resulting from the investment of proceeds in an escrow fund below the yield on the bonds, however, may be recovered by combining those investments with investments deposited to other funds, e.g., reserve or construction funds. The arbitrage regulations also provide an exception to the arbitrage limitations for the investment of bond proceeds in tax-exempt obligations. As such, investment of proceeds in tax exempt bonds eliminates the Issuer's rebate obligation. A caveat; this exception does not apply to gross proceeds derived allocable to a bond, which is not subject to the alternative minimum tax under section 57(a)(5) of the Code, if invested in tax-exempt bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax, i.e., " private activity bonds." Such "AMT-subject" investment is treated as a taxable investment and must comply with the arbitrage rules, including rebate. Earnings from these tax-exempt investments are subject to arbitrage restrictions, including rebate. Similarly, the investment of gross proceeds in certain tax-exempt mutual funds are treated as a direct investment in the tax-exempt obligations deposited in such fund. While issuers may invest in such funds for purposes of avoiding arbitrage rebate, they should be aware that if "private activity bonds" are included in the fund then a portion of the earnings will be subject to arbitrage rebate. Issuers should be prudent in assuring that the funds do not contain private activity bonds. The arbitrage regulations provide a number of instances in which earnings will be imputed to nonpurpose investments. Receipts generally will be imputed to investments that do not bear interest at an arm's-length (i.e., market) interest rate. As such, the regulations adopt a "market price" rule. In effect, this rule prohibits an issuer from investing bond proceeds in investments at a price which is higher than the market price of comparable obligations, in order to reduce the yield. Special rules are included for determining the market price for investment contracts, certificates of deposit and certain U.S. Treasury obligations. For example, to establish the fair market value of investment contracts a bidding process between three qualified bidders must be used. The fair market value of certificates of deposit which bear a fixed interest rate and are subject to an early withdrawal penalty is its purchase price if that price is not less than the yield on comparable U.S. Treasury obligations and is the highest yield available from the institution. In any event, a basic "common sense" rule-of-thumb that can be used to determine whether a fair market value has been paid is to ask whether the general funds of the issuer would be invested at the same yield or at a higher yield. An exception to this market price rule is available for United States Treasury Obligations - State or Local Government Series in which case the purchase price is always the market price. Reimbursement and Working Capital McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 6 The regulations provide rules for purposes of determining whether gross proceeds are used for working capital and, if so, at what times those proceeds are considered spent. In general, working capital financings are subject to many of the same rules that have existed since the mid-1970s. For example, the regulations generally continue the 13-month temporary period. By adopting a "proceeds-spent-last" rule, the regulations also generally require that an issuer actually incur a deficit (i.e., expenditures must exceed receipts) for the computation period (which generally corresponds to the issuer's fiscal year). Also, the regulations continue to permit an operating reserve, but unlike prior regulations the amount of such reserve may not exceed five percent of the issuer's actual working capital expenditures for the prior fiscal year. Another change made by the regulations is that the issuer may not finance the operating reserve with proceeds of a tax-exempt obligation. Importantly, the regulations contain rules for determining whether proceeds used to reimburse an issuer for costs paid prior to the date of issue of the obligation, in fact, are considered spent at the time of reimbursement. These rules apply to an issuer who uses general revenues for the payment of all or a portion of the costs of a project then uses the proceeds of the bonds to reimburse those general revenues. Failure to comply with these rules would result in the proceeds continuing to be subject to federal income tax restrictions, including rebate. To qualify for reimbursement, a cost must be described in an expression (e.g., resolution, legislative authorization) evidencing the issuer's intent to reimburse which is made no later than 60 days after the payment of the cost. Reimbursement must occur no later than 18 months after the later of (1) the date the cost is paid or (2) the date the project is placed in service. Except for projects requiring an extended construction period or small issuers, in no event can a cost be reimbursed more than three years after the cost is paid. Reimbursement generally is not permitted for working capital; only capital costs, grants and loans may be reimbursed. Moreover, certain anti-abuse rules apply to prevent issuers from avoiding the limitations on refundings. IN CASES INVOLVING WORKING CAPITAL OR REIMBURSEMENT, ISSUERS ARE ADVISED TO CONTACT McCALL, PARKHURST & HORTON L.L.P. TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION. Rebate Payments Rebate payments generally are due 60 days after each installment computation date. The interim computation dates occur each fifth anniversary of the issue date. The final computation date is on the latest of (1) the date 60 days after the date the issue of bonds is no longer outstanding, (2) the date eight months after the date of issue for certain short-term obligations (i.e., obligations retired within three years), or (3) the date the issuer no longer reasonably expects any spending exception, discussed below, to apply to the issue. On such payment dates, other than the final payment date, an issuer is required to pay 90 percent of the rebatable arbitrage to the United States. On the final payment date, an issuer is required to pay 100 percent of the remaining rebate liability. Failure to timely pay rebate does not necessarily result in the loss of tax-exemption. Late payments, however, are subject to the payment of interest, and unless waived, a penalty of 50 percent (or, in the case of private activity bonds, other than qualified 501 (c)(3) bonds, 100 McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 7 percent) of the rebate amount which is due. IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, ISSUERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT McCALL, PARKHURST & HORTON L.L.P. TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THESE TRANSACTIONS. Rebate payments are refundable. The issuer, however, must establish to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service that the issuer paid an amount in excess of the rebate and that the recovery of the overpayment on that date would not result in additional rebatable arbitrage. An overpayment of less than $5,000 may not be recovered before the final computation date. Alternative Penalty Amount In certain cases, an issuer of a bond the proceeds of which are to be used for construction may elect to pay a penalty, in lieu of rebate. The penalty may be elected in circumstances in which the issuer expects to satisfy the two-year spending exception which is more fully described under the heading "Exceptions to Rebate." The penalty is payable, if at all, within 60 days after the end of each six-month period. This is more often than rebate. The election of the alternative penalty amount would subject an issuer, which fails the two-year spend-out requirements, to the payment of a penalty equal to one and one-half of the excess of the amount of proceeds which was required to be spent during that period over the amount which was actually spent during the period. The penalty has characteristics which distinguish it from arbitrage rebate. First, the penalty would be payable without regard to whether any arbitrage profit is actually earned. Second, the penalty continues to accrue until either (1) the appropriate amount is expended or (2) the issuer elects to terminate the penalty. To be able to terminate the penalty, the issuer must meet specific requirements and, in some instances, must pay an additional penalty equal to three percent of the unexpended proceeds. Exceptions to Rebate The Code and regulations provide certain exceptions to the requirement that the excess investment earnings be rebated to the United States. a. Small Issuers. The first exception provides that if an issuer (together with all subordinate issuers) during a calendar year does not issue tax-exempt bonds2 in an aggregate face amount exceeding $5 million, then the obligations are not subject to rebate. Only issuers with general taxing powers may take advantage of this exception. Subordinate issuers are those issuers which derive their authority to issue bonds from the same issuer, e.g., a city and a health facilities development corporation, or which are controlled by the same issuer, e.g., a state and the board of a public university. In the case of bonds issued for public school capital expenditures, the $5 million cap may be increased to as much as $15 million. For purposes of measuring whether bonds in the calendar year exceed these dollar limits, current refunding 2 For this purpose, "private activity bonds" neither are afforded the benefit of this exception nor are taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of bonds issued. McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 8 bonds can be disregarded if they meet certain structural requirements. Please contact McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. for further information. b. Spending Exceptions. Six-Month Exception. The second exception to the rebate requirement is available to all tax-exempt bonds, all of the gross proceeds of which are expended during six months. The six month rule is available to bonds issued after the effective date of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. See the discussion of effective dates on page two. For this purpose, proceeds used for the redemption of bonds (other than proceeds of a refunding bond deposited to an escrow fund to discharge refunded bonds) can not be taken into account as expended. As such, bonds with excess gross proceeds generally can not satisfy the second exception unless the amount does not exceed the lesser of five percent or $100,000 and such de minimis amount must be expended within one year. Certain gross proceeds are not subject to the spend-out requirement, including amounts deposited to a bona fide debt service fund, to a reserve fund and amounts which become gross proceeds received from purpose investments. These amounts themselves, however, may be subject to rebate even though the originally expended proceeds were not. The Code provides a special rule for tax and revenue anticipation notes (i.e., obligations issued to pay operating expenses in anticipation of the receipt of taxes and other revenues). Such notes are referred to as TRANs. To determine the timely expenditure of the proceeds of a TRAN, the computation of the "cumulative cash flow deficit" is important. If the "cumulative cash flow deficit" (i.e., the point at which the operating expenditures of the issuer on a cumulative basis exceed the revenues of the issuer during the fiscal year) occurs within the first six months of the date of issue and must be equal to at least 90 percent of the proceeds of the TRAN, then the notes are deemed to satisfy the exception. This special rule requires, however, that the deficit actually occur, not that the issuer merely have an expectation that the deficit will occur. In lieu of the statutory exception for TRANs, the regulations also provide a second exception. Under this exception, 100 percent of the proceeds must be spent within six months, but before note proceeds can be considered spent, all other available amounts of the issuer must be spent first ("proceeds-spent-last" rule). In determining whether all available amounts are spent, a reasonable working capital reserve equal to five percent of the prior year's expenditures may be set aside and treated as unavailable. 18-Month Exception. The regulations also establish a non-statutory exception to arbitrage rebate if all of the gross proceeds (including investment earnings) are expended within 18 months after the date of issue. Under this exception, 15 percent of the gross proceeds must be expended within a six-month spending period, 60 percent within a 12-month spending period and 100 percent within an 18-month spending period. The rule permits an issuer to rely on its reasonable expectations for computing investment earnings which are included as gross proceeds during the first and second spending period. A reasonable retainage not to exceed five percent of the sale proceeds of the issue is not required to be spent within the 18-month period but must be expended within 30 months. Rules similar to the six-month exception relate to the definition of gross proceeds. Two Year Exception. Bonds issued after December 19, 1989 (i.e., the effective date of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1989), at least 75 percent of the net proceeds of which are to be used for construction, may be exempted from rebate if the gross proceeds are spent McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. - Page 9 within two years. Bonds more than 25 percent of the proceeds of which are used for acquisition or working capital may not take advantage of this exception. The exception applies only to governmental bonds, qualified 501(c)(3) bonds and private activity bonds for governmentally- owned airports and docks and wharves. The two-year exception requires that at least 10 percent of the available construction proceeds must be expended within six months after the date of issue, 45 percent within 12 months, 75 percent within 18 months and 100 percent within 24 months. The term "available construction proceeds" generally means sale proceeds of the bonds together with investment earnings less amounts deposited to a qualified reserve fund or used to pay costs of issuance. Under this rule, a reasonable retainage not to exceed five percent need not be spent within 24 months but must be spent within 36 months. The two-year rule also provides for numerous elections which must be made not later than the date of issuance of the bonds. Once made, the elections are irrevocable. Certain elections permit an issuer to bifurcate bond issues, thereby treating only a portion of the issue as a qualified construction bond; and, permit an issuer to disregard earnings from reserve funds for purposes of determining "available construction proceeds." Another election permits an issuer to pay the alternative penalty amount discussed above in lieu of rebate if the issuer ultimately fails to satisfy the two-year rule. Issuers should discuss these elections with their financial advisors priorto issuance of the bonds. Of course, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. remains available to assist you by providing legal interpretations thereof. Debt Service Funds. Additionally, an exception to the rebate requirement, whether or not any of the previously discussed exceptions are available, applies for earnings on "bona fide debt service funds." A "bona fide debt service fund" is one in which the amounts are expended within 13 months of the accumulation of such amounts by the issuer. In general, most interest and sinking funds (other than any excess taxes or revenues accumulated therein) satisfy these requirements. For private activity bonds, short term bonds (i.e., have a term of less than five years) or variable rate bonds, the exclusion is available only if the gross earnings in such fund does not exceed $100,000, for the bond year. For other bonds issued after November 11, 1988, no limitation is applied to the gross earnings on such funds for purposes of this exception. Therefore, subject to the foregoing discussion, the issuer is not required to take such amounts into account for purposes of the computation. FOR BONDS ISSUED AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE TAX REFORM ACT OF 1986 WHICH WERE OUTSTANDING AS OF NOVEMBER 11, 1988, OTHER THAN PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS, SHORT TERM BONDS OR VARIABLE RATE BONDS, A ONE-TIME ELECTION MAY BE MADE TO EXCLUDE EARNINGS ON "BONA FIDE DEBT SERVICE FUNDS" WITHOUT REGARD TO THE $100,000, LIMITATION. THE ELECTION MUST BE MADE IN WRITING (AND MAINTAINED AS PART OF THE ISSUER'S BOOKS AND RECORDS) NO LATER THAN THE LATER OF MARCH 21, 1990, OR THE FIRST DATE A REBATE PAYMENT IS REQUIRED.

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

As a result of that issuance, the federal income tax laws impose certain restrictions on the investment and expenditure of amounts to be used for the project or to be deposited to the debt service fund for the captioned bonds. The purpose of this letter is to set forth, in somewhat less technical language, those provisions of the tax law which require the timely use of bond proceeds and that investment of these amounts be at a yield which is not higher than the yield on the bonds. Please note that the Form 803 8-G has been prepared based on the information provided by or on your behalf by your financial advisor. Accordingly, while we believe that the information is correct you may wish to have the yield confirmed before your rebate consultant or the paying agent attempt to rely on it. The District has determined that there are no unexpended original and investment proceeds of the outstanding bonds deposited to the construction fund. Generally, the federal tax laws provide that, unless excepted, amounts to be used for the project or to be deposited to the debt service fund must be invested in obligations the combined yield on which does not exceed the yield on the bonds. For this purpose, please refer to line 21 (e) of the Form 803 8-G included in the transcript of proceedings for the yield. Importantly, for purposes of administrative convenience, the bonds, however, have been structured in such a way as to avoid, for the most part, this restriction on investment yield. As such, for analytical purposes only, we have segregated the debt service fund into three separate accounts. This does not require that you segregate monies deposited to the debt service fund into those accounts, but you should keep in mind the limitations imposed on each of those hypothetical accounts. They also contain certain covenants relating to expenditures of proceeds designed to alert you to unintentional failures to comply with the laws affecting expenditures of proceeds and dispositions of property. First, the sale and investment proceeds to be used for the new money project may be invested for up to three years without regard to yield. (Such amounts, however, may be subject to rebate.) Thereafter, they must be invested at or below the bond yield. Importantly, expenditure of these proceeds must be accounted in your books and records. Allocations of these expenditures must occur within 18 months of the later of the date paid or the date the project is completed. The foregoing notwithstanding, the allocation should not occur later than 60 days after the earlier of (1) of five years after the delivery date of the bonds or (2) the date the bonds are retired unless you obtain an opinion of bond counsel. Second, the debt service fund is made up of taxes which are levied annually for the payment of current debt service on all the District's outstanding bonds. Any taxes deposited to the debt service fund which are to be used for the payment of current debt service on the captioned bonds, or any other outstanding bonds, are not subject to yield restriction. By definition, current debt service refers only to debt service to be paid within one year of the date of receipt of the taxes. For the most part, this would be debt service in the current fiscal year. These amounts deposited to the account for current debt service may be invested without regard to any constraint imposed by the federal income tax laws. Third, the debt service fund contains an amount of taxes, which although not expended for debt service within the current year, are necessary to ensure that amounts will be sufficient to pay debt service in the event that taxes are insufficient during that period. This amount, commonly referred to as "coverage," represents a reserve account against periodic fluctuations in the receipt of tax revenues. The Internal Revenue Code permits amounts which are held in reserve for the payment of debt service, in such instances, to be invested without regard to yield restriction if such amounts do not exceed the lesser of (1) 10 percent of the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding bonds, (2) maximum annual debt service on all outstanding bonds, or (3) 125 percent of average annual debt service on all outstanding bonds. Fourth, a portion of the debt service fund is permitted to be invested without regard to yield restriction as a "minor portion." The "minor portion" exception is available for de minimis amounts of taxes deposited to the debt service fund. The maximum amount that may be invested as part of this account may not exceed the lesser of five percent of the principal amount of the bonds or $100,000. Accordingly, you should review the current balance in the debt service fund in order to determine if such balance exceeds the aggregate amount of these three accounts. Additionally, in the future it is important that you be aware of these accounts as additional amounts are deposited to the debt service fund. The amounts which are subject to yield restriction would only be the amounts which are in excess of the sum of (1) the current debt service account, (2) the reserve account, and (3) the "minor portion" account. Moreover, to the extent that additional bonds are issued by the District, whether for new money projects or for refunding, these amounts will change in their proportion. The order contains covenants that require the Issuer to comply with the requirements of the federal tax laws relating to the tax-exempt obligations. The Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") has determined that certain materials, records and information should be retained by the issuers of tax-exempt obligations for the purpose of enabling the Service to confirm the exclusion of the interest on such obligations under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the Issuer should retain such materials, records and information for the period beginning on the issue date of the outstanding bonds, or, in the case of a sequence of refundings, the issue date of the obligations originally financing the refinanced project and ending three years after the date the captioned bonds are retired. Please note this federal tax law standard may vary from state law standards. The material, records and information required to be retained will generally be contained in the transcript of proceedings for the captioned bonds, however, the Issuer should collect and retain additional materials, records and information to ensure the continued compliance with federal tax law requirements. For example, beyond the transcript of proceedings for the bonds, the Issuer should keep schedules evidencing the expenditure of bond proceeds, documents relating to the use of bond-financed property by governmental and any private parties (e.g., leases and management contracts, if any) and schedules pertaining to the investment of bond proceeds. In the event that you have questions relating to record retention, please contact us. The Service also wants some assurance that any failure to comply with the federal tax laws was not due to an issuer's intentional disregard or gross neglect of the responsibilities imposed on it by the federal tax laws. Therefore, to ensure post-issuance compliance, an issuer should consider adopting formalized written guidelines to help the issuer perform diligence reviews at regular intervals. The goal is for issuers to be able to timely identify and resolve violations of the laws necessary to maintain their obligations' tax-favored status. While the federal tax certificate, together with its attachments, may generally provide a basic written guideline when incorporated in an organizations' operations, the extent to which an organization has appropriate written compliance procedures in place is to be determined on a case-by-case basis Moreover, the Service has indicated that written procedures should identify the personnel that adopted the procedures, the personnel that is responsible for monitoring compliance, the frequency of compliance check activities, the nature of the compliance check activities undertaken, and the date such procedures were originally adopted and subsequently updated, if applicable. The Service has stated that the adoption of such procedures will be a favorable factor that the Service will consider when determining the amount of any penalty to be imposed on an issuer in the event of an unanticipated and non-curable failure to comply with the tax laws. Finally, you should notice that the order contains a covenant that limits the ability of the District to sell or otherwise dispose of bond-financed property for compensation. Beginning for obligations issued after May 15, 1997 (including certain refunding bonds), or in cases in which an issuer elects to apply new private activity bond regulations, such sale or disposition causes the creation of a class of proceeds referred to as "disposition proceeds." Disposition proceeds, like sale proceeds and investment earnings, are tax-restricted funds. Failure to appropriately account, invest or expend such disposition proceeds would adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the bonds. In the event that you anticipate selling property, even in the ordinary course, please contact us. Obviously, this letter only presents a fundamental discussion of the yield restriction rules as applied to amounts deposited to the debt service fund. Moreover, this letter does not address the rebate consequences with respect to the debt service fund and you should review the memorandum attached to the Federal Tax Certificate as Exhibit "A" for this purpose. If you have certain concerns with respect to the matters discussed in this letter or wish to ask additional questions with regards to certain limitations imposed, please feel free to contact our firm. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to our continued relationship. Very truly yours, McCALL, PARKJTURST & HORTON L.L.P. cc: Gregory C.

I have examined the law and such certified proceedings and other papers as I deem necessary to render this opinion. As to questions of fact material to my opinion, I have relied upon representations of the Issuer contained in the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished to me without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation.

Based on my examination, I am of the opinion, as of the date hereof and under existing law, as follows: (1) The Bond has been issued in accordance with law and is a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer. (2) In accordance with the provisions of the law, including an Escrow Agreement dated as of March 5, 2012, firm banking arrangements have been made for the discharge and final payment or redemption of the obligations being refunded upon deposit of an amount sufficient to pay said obligations when due. (3) The Bond is payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax levied, without limitation as to rate or amount, upon all taxable property within the Issuer. Therefore, the Bond is approved.

Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given in the Order of the District authorizing the issuance and sale of the Bonds (the "Order"). WE HAVE EXAMINED the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and other documents authorizing and relating to the issuance of said Bonds, including one of the executed Bonds (Bond Number T-l), and specimens of Bonds to be authenticated and delivered in exchange for the Bonds. BASED ON SAID EXAMINATION, IT IS OUR OPINION THAT the Bonds have been authorized and issued and the Bonds delivered concurrently with this opinion have been duly delivered, and that, assuming due authentication, Bonds issued in exchange therefor will have been duly delivered, in accordance with law, and that said Bonds, except as may be limited by laws applicable to the District relating to bankruptcy, reorganization and other similar matters affecting creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the District, payable from ad valorem taxes to be levied and collected by the District upon taxable property within the District, which taxes the District has covenanted to levy in an amount sufficient to pay the interest on and the principal of the Bonds. Such covenant to levy taxes is subject to the right of a city, under existing Texas law, to annex all of the territory within the District; to take over all properties and assets of the District; to assume all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the District, including the Bonds; and to abolish the District or if the District consolidates with another District. IT IS FURTHER OUR OPINION, except as discussed below, that the interest on the Bonds is excludable from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes under the statutes, regulations, published rulings, and court decisions existing on the date of this opinion. We are further of the opinion that the Bonds are not "specified private activity bonds" and that, accordingly, interest on the Bonds will not be included as an individual or corporate alternative minimum tax preference item under section 5 7(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). In expressing the aforementioned opinions, we have relied on, certain representations, the accuracy of which we have not independently verified, and assume compliance with certain covenants regarding the use and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds and the use of the property financed or refinced therewith. We call your attention to the fact that if such representations are determined to be inaccurate or if the Issuer fails to comply with such covenants, interest on the Bonds may become includable in gross income retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, we express no opinion as to any other federal, state or local tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of the Bonds. WE CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT the interest on tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, is included in a corporation's alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of determining the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by section 55 of the Code. OUR OPINIONS ARE BASED ON EXISTING LAW, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"); rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that we deem relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to determine compliance with rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published procedures the Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer. We observe that the Issuer has covenanted not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, may result in the treatment of interest on the Bonds as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. WE EXPRESS NO OPINION as to any insurance policies issued with respect to the payments due for the principal of and interest on the Bonds, nor as to any such insurance policies issued in the future. OUR SOLE ENGAGEMENT in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is as Bond Counsel for the Issuer, and, in that capacity, we have been engaged by the Issuer for the sole purpose of rendering our opinions with respect to the legality and validity of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and with respect to the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes, and for no other reason or purpose. The foregoing opinions represent our legal judgment based upon a review of existing legal authorities that we deem relevant to render such opinions and are not a guarantee of a result. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not independently investigated or verified, any records, data, or other material relating to the financial condition or capabilities of the Issuer, or the disclosure thereof in connection with the sale of the Bonds, and have not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto. We express no opinion and make no comment with respect to the marketability of the Bonds. Our role in connection with the Issuer's Official Statement prepared for use in connection with the sale of the Bonds has been limited as described therein.

All references in this opinion to instruments and other defined terms shall mean the instruments and other terms as defined in the Purchase Contract. The opinions expressed below are qualified to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in any of the agreements or documents listed may be subject to and affected by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, or by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion. Based upon and subject to the above and foregoing, and our examination of such other information and documents, including provisions of the Constitution and applicable State and federal laws as we believe necessary to enable us to render this opinion, we are of the opinion that: (a) The Order was duly adopted by the governing body of the Issuer and the Pricing Certificate has been duly executed by the Pricing Officer, and the Order and the Pricing Certificate are in full force and effect as of the date of this opinion. (b) The Bonds are exempted securities within the meaning of Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), and it is not necessary, in connection with the offer and sale of the Bonds, to register the Bonds under the 1933 Act or to qualify the Order under the Trust Indenture Act. Insofar as the Official Statement is concerned, our review and examination was limited to the information contained under the captions "PLAN OF FINANCING," "THE BONDS" (except under the subcaptions "Payment Record" and "Default and Remedies" and the second and third sentences under the subcaption "Issuance of Additional Debt"), "TAX MATTERS" and "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION" (except under the subcaption "Compliance with Prior Agreements"), and the subcaptions "OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION"-Registration and Qualification of Bonds for Sale", "OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION- Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas", and "OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION-Legal Matters" (except for the last two sentences of the second paragraph thereof), and we are of the opinion that such descriptions present a fair and accurate summary of the provisions of the laws and instruments therein described and, with respect to the Bonds, such information conforms to the Bond Order. Save and except for the review of the foregoing captions, we have not undertaken to determine independently the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of any other information, data or descriptions contained in the Official Statement, including particularly, but not limited to, the financial and statistical data included therein. In addition, please be advised that the Underwriters are entitled to rely upon the opinion of Bond Counsel delivered in accordance with Section 6(i)(3) of the Purchase Contract. 2 TAB 19 FULBRIGHT Qj>Jaworski L.L.V.

In that connection, we have examined the Official Statement of the District relating to the Bonds, dated February 14, 2012 (the "Official Statement"), the Purchase Contract, dated February 14, 2012, between the District and you, the Order (as defined in the Purchase Contract) authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, adopted by the Board of Directors of the District on December 20, 2011, and the Pricing Certificate (as defined in the Order) approved and executed pursuant to the Order on February 14, 2012 (the Order and the Pricing Certificate are hereinafter jointly referred to as the "Bond Order"). In making such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the original documents of copies of such documents submitted to us as certified or mechanically reproduced copies. As to questions of fact material to the opinions hereinafter expressed, where such facts have not been independently established, and as to the content and form of documents or writings, we have relied in part and to the extent we deem reasonably appropriate upon the representations and warranties of the District contained in the Purchase Contract and certificates of officers and representatives of the District and public officials. Based upon the foregoing, and having due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the Bonds are exempted securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), and it is not necessary, in connection with the offering and sale of the Bonds, to register the Bonds under the 1933 Act and the Bond Order need not be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. 52019170.1 AUSTIN • BEIJING • DALLAS • DENVER • DUBAI • HONG KONG • HOUSTON • LONDON • LOS ANGELES MINNEAPOLIS • MUNICH • NEW YORK • PITTSBURGH-SOUTHPOINTE • RIYADH • SAN ANTONIO • ST.

Rationale Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'AA-' rating and stable outlook to Trophy Club Municipal Utility District (MUD) No. 1, Texas' series 2012 unlimited-tax general obligation (GO) refunding bonds and affirmed its 'AA-' rating, with a stable outlook, on the district's series 2010 unlimited-tax GO bonds. The rating reflects our opinion of the district's: • Access to Dallas-Fort Worth's deep economy, resulting in, what we consider, very strong income; • Mature development with limited capital needs; and • Sizable property tax base with, what we view as, a low property tax rate, providing it with revenue-raising flexibility. We believe what we consider the district's moderate overall debt somewhat constrains the rating. An unlimited ad valorem tax levied on all taxable property in the MUD secures the series 2012 refunding bonds. Officials intend to use bond proceeds to refund a portion of the district's debt, resulting in an estimated present value savings of $179,000. MUD No. 1 provides water, sewer, and fire protection services to its 2,284-acre service area in the towns of Trophy Club and Westlake, approximately 27 miles northwest of downtown Dallas and 25 miles northeast of downtown Fort Worth. Trophy Club's access to a broader economy has resulted in, what we view as, very strong median household income equal to 200% of the national level. The MUD is mature with approximately 91% of developable land containing utility infrastructure. Development consists of 3,172 occupied homes ranging in price from $200,000 to $1 million; 178 multifamily units; 138 homes under construction; and 72 vacant lots. The district also contains commercial development that includes an office complex and a shopping center. Approximately 195 acres remain undeveloped, 135 acres of which are zoned for residential purposes and 60 acres of which are zoned for commercial purposes. The property tax base remains sizable. Despite a 6% contraction since fiscal 2010, due primarily to an increase in exemptions and protests of appraised values, the tax base has increased by a cumulative 4.6% since fiscal 2008 to $954.6 million in fiscal 2012. Despite its commercial presence, the tax base is diverse with the 10 leading taxpayers Standard & Poors | RatingsDirect on the Global Credit Portal | February 8, 2012 2 Summary: Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1, Texas; General Obligation accounting for 24.6% of assessed value (AV). The MUD is adjacent to Trophy Club Public Improvement District (PID) No. 1. Significant home construction is also occurring in the PID. While land in the PID is not subject to the MUD's property tax levy, the MUD provides water, sewer, and fire protection services to PID residents; this generates additional operating revenue for the MUD. In our opinion, finances are good. The assigned and unassigned general fund balance of $3.33 million at fiscal year-end 2011 equaled, what we view as, a good 57% of expenditures. Water and sewer charges (75%) and property taxes (19%) generated the bulk of fiscal 2011 general fund revenue. The MUD's debt service fund provides debt service liquidity; the fund contained $107,847 at fiscal year-end 2011, or, in our view, a low 12% of the MUD's maximum annual debt service payment scheduled to occur in 2012. Management attributes essentially all revenue in the debt service fund to property taxes. The MUD's property tax rate is, in our view, a very low 17.5 cents per $100 of AV. Monthly combined water and sewer rates are, what we consider, a competitive $67.18 per 8,000 gallons consumed. The MUD's direct debt is, in our opinion, low at less than 1% of AV. In our view, including all overlapping entities, the MUD's overall net debt is a moderate 4.7% of AV. We consider debt amortization front loaded with officials planning to retire 71% of principal over 10 years and 100% by 2031. Management does not intend to issue any additional debt within the next 18 months. Outlook The stable outlook reflects Standard & Poor's opinion that the MUD's mature development will likely limit any significant debt-supported capital needs and that a sizable property tax base will likely allow direct debt and the MUD's property tax rate to remain, what Standard &c Poor's considers, low and manageable. Given the current rating, we do not think we will change the rating within the outlook's two-year period.
