This Bond is one of a duly authorized series of bonds designated “The Metropolitan St. Louis
Sewer District Wastewater System Revenue Bonds, Series 2019B” (the “Series 2019B Bonds ”), issued
by the District pursuant to and in full compliance with the provisions of the Constitution and laws of the
State of Missouri, including specifically, but without limitation, the District’s Charter (Plan), as amended.
The Series 2019B Bonds have been authorized by a Master Bond Ordinance duly adopted by the District
on April 22, 2004 and a supplemental Ordinance adopted by the District on November 14, 2019
(collectively, the “Bond Ordinance”) for the purpose of (a) financing the costs of designing,
constructing, improving, renovating, repairing, replacing and equipping new and existing District sewer
facilities and system and (b) paying the costs of issuance of the Series 2019B Bonds. The Series 2019B
Bonds are all issued under and equally and ratably secured by and entitled to the benefit of the Bond
Ordinance. Capitalized terms not defined herein are used with the meanings given to them in the Bond
Ordinance.
At the District’s option, the Series 2019B Bonds or portions thereof maturing on May 1, 20___
and thereafter may be called for redemption and payment prior to their Stated Maturity on May 1, 20___
and thereafter, in whole or in part on any date in such order of maturity as shall be determined by the
District at the redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon to
the redemption date.
The Series 2019B Bonds maturing on May 1, 20___ are subject to mandatory redemption and
payment prior to maturity pursuant to the mandatory redemption requirements of the Bond Ordinance on
May 1 of each year specified below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof
plus accrued interest to the redemption date:

Notice of redemption, unless waived, is to be given by first class mail at least 30 days and not
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the registered owner of each Series 2019B
Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is furnished
in writing by such registered owner to the Bond Registrar. All such Series 2019B Bonds called for
redemption and for the retirement of which funds are duly provided shall, on the redemption date
designated in such notice, become and be due and payable at the redemption price provided for
A-3
redemption of such Series 2019B Bonds on such date, and interest on the Series 2019B Bonds or portions
of Series 2019B Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such Series 2019B Bonds or
portions of Series 2019B Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit, or security under the Bond
Ordinance, and the owners of such Series 2019B Bonds or portions of Series 2019B Bonds shall have no
rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the redemption price. Any defect in any notice of
redemption shall not affect the validity of proceedings for the redemption of any Series 2019B Bonds.
The District has established a book-entry system of registration for t he Series 2019B Bonds.
Except as specifically provided otherwise in the Bond Ordinance, an agent will hold this Bond on behalf
of the Beneficial Owner hereof. By acceptance of a confirmation of purchase, delivery, or transfer, the
Beneficial Owner of this Bond shall be deemed to have agreed to such arrangement. While the
Series 2019B Bonds are in the book-entry system of registration, the Bond Ordinance provides special
provisions relating to the Series 2019B Bonds which override certain other provisions of the Bond
Ordinance. This Bond is transferable by the registered owner at the principal corporate trust office of the
Bond Registrar or at such other office designated by the Bond Registrar for such purpose, but only in the
manner, subject to the limitations, and upon payment of the charges provided in the Bond Ordinance and
upon surrender of this Bond. Upon such transfer, a new registered Bond or Bonds of the same series,
maturity, interest rate, aggregate Principal amount, and tenor, of any authorized denomination or
denominations, and bearing numbers not then outstanding, will be issued to the transferee in exchange for
this Bond. The Series 2019B Bonds are issuable as fully registered Bonds in the denomination of $5,000
or any integral multiple thereof. The Bond Registrar is not required to transfer or exchange any
Series 2019B Bond after notice calling such Series 2019B Bond for redemption has been given or during
the period of 15 days (whether or not a Business Day for the Bond Registrar, but excluding the
redemption date and including such 15th day) immediately preceding the giving of such notice of
redemption. Unless this Bond is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”), a New York corporation, to the District or its agent for registration of transfer,
exchange, or payment, and any Series 2019B Bond issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in
such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY
PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
The Series 2019B Bonds and such other revenue bonds of the District as may in the future be
issued on a parity therewith, are equally and ratably secured by pledge of the “Pledged Revenues” of the
sanitary sewer system (the “System”) of the District, which is defined in the Bond Ordinance to include
Net Operating Revenues, certain amounts payable by any provider of a Hedge Agreement pursuant to
such Hedge Agreement, moneys and securities from time to time on deposit in the funds and accounts
established in the Bond Ordinance, and earnings on investments made with the foregoing moneys and
securities, excluding any amounts required in the Bond Ordinance to be set aside pending, or used for,
rebate to the Unit ed States government pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and any regulations promulgated with respect to any such rebate requirement.
THE SERIES 2019B BONDS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A DEBT OF
THE DISTRICT NOR A PLEDGE OF THE FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE DISTRICT. THE
SERIES 2019B BONDS SHALL NOT BE PAYABLE FROM OR A CHARGE UPON ANY FUNDS
OTHER THAN THE REVENUES AND AMOUNTS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT THEREOF,
NOR SHALL THE DISTRICT BE SUBJECT TO ANY PECUNIARY LIABILITY THEREON. NO
OWNER OR OWNERS OF THIS BOND SHALL EVER HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPEL ANY
EXERCISE OF THE TAXING POWER OF THE DISTRICT TO PAY THIS BOND OR THE
INTEREST HEREON, NOR TO ENFORCE PAYMENT OF THIS BOND AGAINST ANY
PROPERTY OF THE DISTRICT; NOR SHALL THIS BOND CONSTITUTE A CHARGE, LIEN OR
A-4
ENCUMBRANCE, LEGAL OR EQUITABLE, UPON ANY PROPERTY OF THE DISTRICT,
EXCEPT FOR THE PLEDGED REVENUES AND ANY OTHER FUNDS PLEDGED TO SECURE
THE SERIES 2019B BONDS.
The District has covenanted and hereby covenants and agrees at all times while any Series 2019B
Bonds are Outstanding and unpaid to prescribe, fix, maintain, and collect rates, fees, and other charges for
the services, facilities, and commodities furnished by the System fully sufficient at all times to:
(i) provide for 100% of the Expenses of Operation and Maintenance of the System and for the
accumulation in the Revenue Fund of a reasonable reserve therefor , and (ii) produce Net Operating
Revenues in each Fiscal Year which, together with Investment Earnings, will: (a) equal at least 125% of
the Debt Service Requirement on all Senior Bonds then Outstanding for the year of computation and
115% of the Debt Service Requirement on all Bonds then Outstanding for the year of computation,
(b) enable the District to make all required payments into the Debt Service Reserve Account and the
Rebate Fund and to any Credit Facility Provider, any Reserve Account Credit Facility Provider, and any
Qualified Hedge Provider, (c) enable the District to accumulate an amount to b e held in the Renewal and
Extension Fund which, in the judgment of the District, is adequate to meet the costs of major renewals,
replacements, repairs, additions, betterments and improvements to the System, necessary to keep the same
in good operating condition or as is required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the
System, and (d) will remedy all deficiencies in required payments into any of the funds and accounts
established under the Bond Ordinance from prior Fiscal Years.
The Series 2019B Bonds constitute a series of Senior Uncovered Bonds and thus will not be
secured by the Debt Service Reserve Account.
The Bond Ordinance contains a more particular statement of the covenants and provisions
securing the Series 2019B Bonds, the conditions under which the owner of this Bond may enforce
covenants (other than the covenant to pay Principal of and interest on this Bond when due from the
sources provided, the right to enforce which is unconditional), the conditions upon which additional
revenue bonds may be issued on a parity or achieve parity status with this Bond under the Bond
Ordinance, and the conditions upon which the Bond Ordinance may be amended with the consent of the
owners of a majority in aggregate Principal of the Bonds of each class (senior and subordinate)
Outstanding or the issuer of any Credit Facility, if any, of such Bonds. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default under the Bond Ordinance, the owner of this Bond shall be entitled to the remedies provided
by the Bond Ordinance.
It is hereby certified, recited, and declared that all acts, conditions, and things required to exist,
happen, and be performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond do exist, have happened, and
have been performed in due time, form, and manner as required by law.
This Bond shall not be entitled to any security or benefit under the Bond Ordinance or become
valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been duly
