The Bonds are limited obligations of the District payable solely from, and secured as to the payment of principal and interest by a pledge of, the Pledged Revenues (as defined in the Ordinance). The Bonds and the interest thereon shall not constitute a general or moral obligation of the District nor a debt, indebtedness, or obligation of, or a pledge of the faith and credit of, the District or the State or any political subdivision thereof, within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter provision whatsoever. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the District, the State, or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds or other costs incident thereto.

B-3 The Bonds are subordinate with respect to payment of principal and interest from the Pledged Revenues and in all other respects with the Outstanding Senior Bonds (as defined in the Ordinance). In the event of any default in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Outstanding Senior Bonds, the Pledged Revenues will be applied solely to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Outstanding Senior Bonds until the default is cured. The Bonds are issued on parity with the District’s Outstanding Parity Bonds (as defined in the Ordinance). The District covenants with the Owner of this Bond to keep and perform all covenants and agreements contained in the Ordinance, and the District will fix, establish, maintain and collect rates, fees and charges for the use and services furnished by or through the System to produce Revenues sufficient to pay the operation and maintenance costs of the System, pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and provide reasonable and adequate reserve funds.

This Bond may be transferred or exchanged, as provided in the Ordinance, only upon the registration books kept for that purpose at the above–mentioned office of the Paying Agent. Upon surrender of any Bond at the principal office of the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent will transfer or exchange the Bond for a new Bond or Bonds in any authorized denomination of the same maturity and in the same aggregate principal amount as the Bond which was presented for transfer or exchange. All Bonds presented for transfer or exchange must be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer or authorization for exchange, in a form and with guarantee of signature satisfactory to the Paying Agent, duly executed by the Owner or by the Owner’s authorized agent.

The charge must be paid by the person requesting the exchange or transfer. Payment of the charge is a condition precedent to the exchange or transfer. This Bond will not be valid or be entitled to any security or benefit under the Ordinance until the Certificate of Authentication has been executed by the Paying Agent. IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND DECLARED that all acts, conditions and things required to exist, happen and be performed precedent to the issuance of the Bonds have existed, happened and been performed in due time, form and manner as required by law, and that before the issuance of the Bonds, provision has been duly made for the collection, segregation and application of the income and revenues of the System as provided in the Ordinance.

LOUIS SEWER DISTRICT By: [Chair][Executive Director] D-3 EXHIBIT B TAX REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS This Exhibit B constitutes an integral part of the Participant Closing Certificate to which it is attached (collectively, the “Closing Certificate”). 1. Meaning of Words and Terms. Words and phrases used in this Exhibit B generally have the meanings assigned in §§ 103 and 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations (the “Regulations”), and in the Bond Ordinance. The following words and terms used in Exhibit B have the following meanings: “Bond Year” means each one-year period (or shorter period for the first Bond Year) ending July 1. “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. “Financed Facility” means the property financed with the proceeds of the Bonds as described on the Participant’s signature page to the Purchase Agreement. “Governmental Person” means a State, territory, a possession of the United States, the District of Columbia, or any political subdivision thereof or any instrumentality of such unit. It does not include the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof. “Issue Date” means the date of issuance of the Bonds. “Measurement Period” means, with respect to each item of property financed as part of the Financed Facility, the period beginning on the later of (i) the Issue Date or (ii) the date the property is placed in service and ending on or the earlier of (A) the final maturity date of the Bonds or (B) the expected economic useful life of the property. 2. Authority and Purpose for Bonds. The Bonds are being issued for the purpose of providing funds to pay the costs of Financed Facility. 3. No Over-issuance; Other Sources. (a) The sale proceeds of the Bonds, together with expected investment earnings on such proceeds, do not exceed the cost of the governmental purpose of the Bonds as described above. (b) In addition to proceeds of the Bonds, the Participant will allocate the sum of approximately [__$2,317,000__], representing a cash contribution by the Participant, to pay a portion of the costs of the Financed Facility. 4. Governmental Bond Tests and Related Requirements. (a) General. The Participant will not use any portion of the Bond proceeds, including any investment earnings on such proceeds, directly or indirectly, nor permit the use of any portion of the Financed Facility, in a manner that would cause any Bond to be a “private activity bond” as defined in Code § 141. (b) Use of Financed Facility. The Bond proceeds will be used to finance or refinance the Financed Facility. Throughout the Measurement Period, all property comprising the Financed Facility D-4 will be owned by the Participant or another Governmental Person will own the Financed Facility. Not more than 10% of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used in a manner that constitutes a “private business use” during the Measurement Period. In making the foregoing representations the Participant acknowledges that (i) use of the property comprising the Financed Facility is determined annually throughout the Measurement Period; (ii) the use of the Financed Facility is treated as the direct use of proceeds of the Bonds; (iii) the term “private business use” generally means ownership or lease by, or other use in the trade or business of, a “Nongovernmental Person,” as set forth in Regulations § 1.141-3; (iv) any activity carried on by a Nongovernmental Person other than a natural person is treated as a trade or business; (v) the Financed Facility is treated as being used for a private business use if it is leased to a Nongovernmental Person and subleased to a Governmental Person, or leased to a Governmental Person and then subleased to a Nongovernmental Person, if the Nongovernmental Person’s use is in a trade or business; and (vi) in most cases, use of the Financed Facility constitutes private business use only if a Nongovernmental Person has special legal entitlements to use the financed property under an arrangement with the Participant. (c) Private Security or Payment. The payment of principal and interest on the Bonds will not be (under the terms of the Bonds or any underlying arrangement) directly or indirectly: (1) secured by (i) any interest in property used or to be used for a private business use, or (ii) any interest in payments in respect of such property; or (2) derived from payments (whether or not such payments are made to the Participant) in respect of property, or borrowed money, used or to be used for a private business use. For purposes of the foregoing, taxes of general application are not treated as a private payment or as private security so long as no taxpayer enters into any “impermissible agreement” with respect to the collection or payment of the tax as described in Regulation §1.141-4(e)(4)(ii). The Participant will use revenues derived from the operation of the Financed Facility to pay or a portion of the debt service on the Bonds. All revenues will be derived from rates that are generally applicable and uniformly applied, and which do not convey priority rights or other preferential benefits for use of the Financed Facility. (d) No Private Loan. No proceeds of the Bonds will be loaned directly or indirectly to any person or entity that is not a State or local governmental unit. Special assessments may be used as source of repayment of the Bonds so long as the assessments meet the criteria set out in Regulation §1.141-5(d). (e) No Federal Guarantees. The Participant will not take any action or permit any action to be taken which would cause the Bonds to be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Code § 149(b). (f) Management Contracts. The Participant will not enter into or renew any “management contract” (defined below) with any Nongovernmental Person, without first obtaining an opinion of bond counsel, addressed to the Participant and the Authority, that such management contract will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Authority Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The term “management contract” is defined in Regulations § 1.141-3(b) as a management, service, or incentive payment contract with an entity that provides services involving all or a portion of any function of the Financed Facility, such as a contract to manage the Financed Facility or any portion thereof. Contracts for services that are solely incidental to the primary governmental function of the Financed Facility (for example, contracts for janitorial, office equipment repair, billing, or similar services) are not treated as management contracts. D-5 (g) Leases. The Participant will not enter into or renew a lease of all or any portion of the Financed Facility (disregarding portions used by members of the general public who use portions of the Financed Facility on a short-term basis in the ordinary course of the Participant’s operation of the Financed Facility) with any Nongovernmental Person, without first obtaining an opinion of bond counsel, addressed to the Participant and the Authority, that such lease will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Authority Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. 5. Sinking Funds. The Participant is required under the Bond Ordinance to make periodic payments in amounts sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The Participant will deposit these payments into the Principal Account and the Interest Account held by the Trustee. Except for the Principal Account and the Interest Account, the Participant has not established, and does not expect to establish, any sinking fund or other similar fund expected to be used directly or indirectly to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds. The Principal Account and the Interest Account are used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues with principal and interest payments on the Bonds within each bond year and the Participant expects that the Principal Account and the Interest Account will qualify as a “bona fide debt service fund,” as said term is defined in the Regulations. 6. No Replacement Funds. None of the Bond proceeds will be used as a substitute for other funds that were intended or earmarked to pay costs of the Financed Facility, and that have been or will be used to acquire higher yielding investments. Except for the Principal Account, the Interest Account and the Reserve Account, there are no other funds pledged or committed in a manner that provides a reasonable assurance that such funds would be available for payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds if the Participant or the Participant encounters financial difficulty. 7. Reimbursement of Expenditures. On September 11, 2003, the governing body of the Participant adopted an ordinance declaring the intent of the Participant to borrow to finance costs of the Financed Facility for the Participant, and to reimburse the Participant for expenditures made for the Financed Facility prior to the issuance of such obligations (the “Reimbursement Action”). A copy of the Reimbursement Action is contained in the Transcript. No portion of the Net Proceeds of the Bonds will be used to reimburse an expenditure paid by the Participant more than 60 days prior to the date the Reimbursement Action was adopted. The Participant will evidence in writing each allocation of the proceeds of the Bonds to an expenditure. No reimbursement allocation will be made for an expenditure made more than three years prior to the date of the reimbursement allocation. In addition, no reimbursement allocation will be made more than 18 months following the later of (A) the date of the expenditure or (B) the date the Financed Facility were placed in service. 8. Hedge Bonds. The Participant expects that at least 85% of the net sale proceeds of the Bonds will be used to carry out the governmental purpose of the Bonds within three years after the Issue Date. 9. Single Issue; No Other Issues. No other debt obligations of the District (1) are being sold within 15 days of the sale of the Bonds, (2) are being sold under the same plan of financing as the Bonds, and (3) are expected to be paid from substantially the same source of funds as the Bonds (disregarding guarantees from unrelated parties, such as bond insurance). The District is issuing its Wastewater System Revenue Bonds, Series 2006C on or about November 28, 2006 (the “2006 Senior Bonds”). The 2006 Senior Bonds are secured by revenues of the District and were sold at least 15 days after the Bonds. 10. Records. The Participant recognizes that (i) investors purchase the Authority Bonds with the expectation that interest on the Authority Bonds is and will remain excludable from gross income for Federal income tax purposes, (ii) the tax-exempt status of interest on the Authority Bonds depends in part on the accuracy of the Participant’s representations and the satisfaction of the Participant’s covenants D-6 contained in this Closing Certificate, many of which relate to matters that will occur after the date the Bonds are issued, and (iii) as part of its ongoing tax-exempt bond audit program the Internal Revenue Service requires that records be created and maintained with respect to the following matters: (1) documentation evidencing the expenditure of Bond proceeds in sufficient detail to determine the date of the expenditure, the asset acquired or the purpose of the expenditure. (2) documentation evidencing the use of the Financed Facility by public and private persons (for example, copies of management contracts or leases). (3) documentation evidencing all sources of payment or security for the Bonds The Participant has procedures in place or will establish procedure to create and retain these records. Unless otherwise specifically instructed in a written opinion of Bond Counsel, the Participant will retain and maintain these records for a period ending not earlier than three years following the final maturity of (i) the Bonds or (ii) any obligation issued to refund the Bonds. Any records maintained electronically must comply with Section 4.01 of Revenue Procedure 97-22.

RECITALS 1. The Federal Water Quality Act of 1987, 33 U.S.C. Section 1381 et seq., and the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 300f et seq. (the “Federal Acts”), authorize the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, including its Region VII office located in the City of Kansas City, Kansas (the “EPA”), to make capitalization grants to states for deposit in state revolving funds to provide assistance for constructing publicly owned wastewater treatment facilities and publicly and privately owned drinking water treatment facilities and for certain other purposes. 2. Section 644.122 of the Missouri Clean Water Law, Sections 644.006 through 644.141, RSMo, establishes “The Water and Wastewater Loan Fund” in the Treasury of the State. Section 640.107, RSMo, establishes the “Drinking Water Revolving Fund” as a subfund within The Water and Wastewater Loan Fund.

By resolutions adopted by the Authority on September 22, 1998 and by the Safe Drinking Water Commission of the State of Missouri, an administrative agency of the State of Missouri domiciled within DNR (the “Safe Drinking Water Commission”), on September 23, 1998, the Authority and the Safe Drinking Water Commission have approved the development and implementation of the Missouri Leveraged State Drinking Water Revolving Fund Program (the “Drinking Water SRF Program”). The Authority has further stated its intent to issue its bonds to finance projects pursuant to the Drinking Water -2- SRF Program, the bonds to be payable solely out of the revenues and receipts derived by the Authority in connection with Drinking Water SRF Program projects. The Clean Water Commission has stated its intent to make loans from the Drinking Water Revolving Fund and moneys appropriated by statute from general state revenues (“Appropriated Moneys”) to provide financial assistance under the Drinking Water SRF Program for projects approved by the Safe Drinking Water Commission. 6.

DNR, the Authority and each Participant have determined to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of making and repaying the Participant’s Revolving Fund Loan, providing for the payment of the administrative fee payable in connection with the Clean Water SRF Program or the Drinking Water SRF Program, as applicable, and setting forth their covenants and agreements respecting their participation in the Clean Water SRF Program or the Drinking Water SRF Program, as applicable.

Representations by the Parties. Each party to this Agreement represents to each of the others as follows: (a) The party is duly organized and existing under the laws of the State with lawful power and authority to enter into this Agreement acting by and through its duly authorized officers. (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the party will not result in a breach of any of the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or agreement or other instrument to which the party is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, its bylaws or any applicable law, rule, regulation or judicial proceeding. Section 2.2. General Provision. Each reference in this Agreement to the Participant, the Revolving Fund Loan, the Ordinance, the Participant Bonds and the Reserve Account means each Participant which is a signatory to this Agreement, the Revolving Fund Loan made to that Participant, that Participant’s Participant Bonds issued under its Ordinance as provided in the Purchase Agreement and that Participant’s Reserve Account. ARTICLE III THE REVOLVING FUND LOAN Section 3.1. Revolving Fund Loan. (a) DNR will make the Revolving Fund Loan to a Clean Water Participant under the Clean Water SRF Program from available moneys in The Water and Wastewater Loan Fund (Capitalization Grant Agreement [__dated September 8, 2004, identification number CS-29000108-0, as amended by amendment dated December 2, 2004, identification number CS-29000108-1, Capitalization Grant Agreement dated June 28, 2005, identification number CS-29000109-0, and Capitalization Grant Agreement dated November 29, 2005, identification number CS-29000110-0__], each between DNR and EPA, are expected to be available for this purpose) or The Water and Wastewater Loan Revolving Fund, as applicable. DNR will make the Revolving Fund Loan to a Drinking Water Participant under the Drinking Water SRF Program from available moneys in the Drinking Water Revolving Fund (Capitalization Grant Agreement dated [__September 30, 2003, identification number FS-99762902-0, Capitalization Grant Agreement dated September 29, 2004, identification number FS-99762903-0, Capitalization Grant Agreement dated June 28, 2005, identification number FS-99762904-0, and Capitalization Grant Agreement dated September 20, 2005, identification number FS-99762905-0__], each between DNR and EPA, are expected to be available for this purpose). DNR may also make a Revolving Fund Loan to a Drinking Water Participant from unexpended Appropriated Moneys, if any. No interest is payable on the Revolving Fund Loan. (b) The Revolving Fund Loan will be funded in installments as Disbursements are made to the Participant. Each installment of the Revolving Fund Loan will be in an amount equal to the Reserve Percentage of the sum of (i) the Actual Reimbursement Amount approved by DNR in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, plus (ii) the Participant’s Costs of Issuance. Each installment will be deposited in the Reserve Account. In no event will the sum of an installment, plus other installments previously made, -4- exceed the “Maximum Revolving Fund Loan” for the Participant set forth in Exhibit A. Because the Actual Reimbursement Amount includes expenditures of both the allocable State Match Portion and the Leveraged Portion, and the Reserve Percentage is applied to the entire Actual Reimbursable Amount, the Maximum Revolving Fund Loan is calculated based on both the allocable State Match Portion and Leveraged Portion. However, the moneys on deposit in the Reserve Account (other than interest earnings) secure only the Leveraged Portion. Section 3.2. Assignment of Revolving Fund Loan. The Participant assigns its right, title and interest in the Revolving Fund Loan to the Authority to secure the Participant Bonds and its agreements under the Ordinance, the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement. Section 3.3. Repayment of Revolving Fund Loan. The Participant will repay the Revolving Fund Loan as follows. On the date of each payment of the principal amount of the Participant Bonds or the defeasance thereof, the Trustee will transfer, from the Reserve Account to the Master Trustee, an amount equal to the Reserve Percentage of the principal amount of the Participant Bonds paid or deemed paid within the meaning of the Ordinance. No transfer will result in the Reserve Security being less than the Reserve Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the Participant Bonds. The outstanding balance of the Revolving Fund Loan is reduced by the amount of the transfer to the Master Trustee. ARTICLE IV ADMINISTRATIVE FEE; ASSIGNMENT Section 4.1. Administrative Fee.
