any Series 2010A Bonds are Outstanding.

THE METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS SEWER DISTRICT (the “District”), a body corporate,
a municipal corporation and a political subdivision duly created and existing under the laws of the State
of Missouri, for value received, hereby promises to pay (but only out of the sources provided) to the
registered owner identified above, or registered assigns, on the Maturity Date stated above unless this

Bond in full.
Principal of and redemption premium, if any, on this Bond are payable when due in lawful money
of the United States of America upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the principal payment
office of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., in East Syracuse, New York, as registrar

maintained by the Bond Registrar, or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such registered
owner to the Bond Registrar.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest on this Bond shall be payable to any registered owner of
more than $500,000 in aggregate Principal of the Bonds of the same series as this Bond (including this
Bond) by deposit of immediately available funds to the account of such registered owner maintained with

at a commercial bank located within the United States of America, if the Paying Agent receives from such
registered owner written deposit or electronic transfer instructions not less than 15 days prior to the
Record Date preceding the Interest Payment Date for which the deposit or electronic transfer is requested.
This Bond is one of a duly authorized series of bonds designated “The Metropolitan St. Louis
Sewer District Taxable Wastewater System Revenue Bonds (Build America Bonds – Direct Pay), Series
2010A” (the “Series 2010A 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 2010A 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 December 10, 2009 (collectively, the “Bond Ordinance”) for the purpose of
financing the costs of constructing, improving, renovating, repairing, replacing and equipping new and
existing District sewer facilities and system. The Series 2010A 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.
The Series 2010A 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, 20___, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest
to the redemption date.
The Series 2010A 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, 20___ and May 1, 20___, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof
plus accrued interest to the redemption date.
At the option of the District, the Series 2010A Bonds may be called for redemption and payment
prior to maturity on or after May 1, 20___, in whole or in part at any time, at the redemption price of
100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date, as provided in the
Bond Ordinance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Bond Ordinance, the District
shall not call any Series 2010A Bonds for redemption prior to an Interest Payment Date upon which the
District has submitted a Form 8038-CP to the IRS.
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 2010A
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 2010A 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-2
redemption of such Series 2010A Bonds on such date, and interest on the Series 2010A Bonds or portions
of Series 2010A Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such Series 2010A Bonds or
portions of Series 2010A Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit, or security under the Bond
Ordinance, and the owners of such Series 2010A Bonds or portions of Series 2010A 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 2010A Bonds.
The District has established a book-entry system of registration for the Series 2010A 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
2010A Bonds are in the book-entry system of registration, the Bond Ordinance provides special
provisions relating to the Series 2010A 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 2010A 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
2010A Bond after notice calling such Series 2010A 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 2010A 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 2010A 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 United 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 2010A 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
2010A 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 ENCUMBRANCE, LEGAL OR
A-3
EQUITABLE, UPON ANY PROPERTY OF THE DISTRICT, EXCEPT FOR THE PLEDGED
REVENUES AND ANY OTHER FUNDS PLEDGED TO SECURE THE SERIES 2010A BONDS.
The District has covenanted and hereby covenants and agrees at all times while any Series 2010A
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 herefore, 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 be 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 Bond Ordinance contains a more particular statement of the covenants and provisions
securing the Series 2010A 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
executed by the Bond Registrar.

otherwise appropriately authenticated to the satisfaction of the Bank:
(a) Ordinance No. _____ of the Board of Trustees of the District adopted on
December 10, 2009, providing for the issuance and delivery of the Bonds (the “Bond
Ordinance”);
(b) Authentication Order executed by the District;
(c) Executed Bonds; and
(d) Approving Legal Opinion from Bond Counsel.
Capitalized terms not defined herein are used with the meanings given to them in the Bond Ordinance.
2. The provisions of the Bond Ordinance relating to the rights, duties and responsibilities of
the Bank as Bond Registrar and Paying Agent for the Bonds are hereby incorporated herein and made a
part hereof. The District and the Bank covenant and agree, so long as DTC shall continue to serve as
securities depository for the Bonds, to meet the requirements of DTC with respect to required notices and
other provisions of the Letter of Representations.
3. No later than three Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date the District shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Bank written specifications for preparation of the Bonds to be
delivered to the Underwriter, including names and addresses of registered owners and denominations in
which the Bonds are to be issued. The Bonds shall be prepared and registered by the Bank in accordance
with such instructions and delivered by the Bank to the Place of Closing or as otherwise specified by the
District to the Bank. The Bank shall make available a duly authorized signatory or signatories of the
E-1
Bank for the purpose of executing an appropriate certificate of authentication on such Bonds prior to
delivery. The Bank shall be responsible for safekeeping all Bonds authenticated by it until the time
specified for delivery. No such Bonds shall be initially delivered by the Bank except in accordance with
an Authentication Order or other appropriate written direction to the Bank executed by an authorized
officer of the District. In the event that the Bank shall not receive an Authentication Order on the Closing
Date and the authentication certificate on any of the Bonds shall have been executed by the Bank, or if the
District shall so direct in writing, the Bank shall be authorized to cancel the certificates representing such
Bonds, provided that it delivers to the District appropriate evidence that such Bonds have been cancelled
and were not delivered.
4. The Bank agrees that it shall maintain appropriate books and records on behalf of the
District reflecting the amount of the Bonds initially authorized to be issued under the Authentication
Order, the amount of the Bonds authenticated and delivered by the Bank from time to time, and the date,
identifying numbers, name and address of registered owner or owners, denominations, maturity date, and
other appropriate information concerning the Bonds authenticated and delivered by the Bank hereunder
from time to time. The Bank agrees with the District that Bonds will not at any time be authenticated and
delivered and permitted to be Outstanding with respect to any maturity in an aggregate amount greater
than the amount originally authorized and set forth in the Bond Ordinance less the aggregate amount of
Bonds which have been paid at maturity or which have been redeemed or purchased and surrendered for
cancellation, except to the extent as may be permitted in the Bond Ordinance in the case of lost, stolen or
destroyed Bonds.
5. The Bank will transfer the Bonds, register transfer of the Bonds, and issue new Bonds
upon surrender of Bonds in the form deemed by the Bank to be properly endorsed for transfer,
accompanied by such documents as the Bank deems necessary or appropriate to evidence the authority of
the person requesting such transfer, registration and issuance and the genuineness of all necessary
endorsements. In making any such transfer of Bonds the Bank will endeavor to comply with
requirements for maximum turn-around time applicable to corporate securities registered for trading on
national securities exchanges as may then be in effect.
6. The Bank has been designated as paying agent for the Bonds, and in such capacity will
act as agent of the District for the purpose of paying to the registered owners of the Bonds interest coming
due thereon from time to time and the Principal amount thereof becoming due at maturity or prior thereto
upon call for redemption and for selecting the Bonds to be redeemed in accordance with the Bond
Ordinance. In such capacity the Bank shall not be obligated to advance funds for the purpose of making
any such payments, but shall make such payments only with funds provided to the Bank by the District
and specifically designated for such purpose. Unless otherwise specifically directed by the District, the
Bank shall not be authorized to utilize other funds of the District on deposit with the Bank not specifically
provided to the Bank for the purpose of payment of the Bonds.
7. In the event the Bonds shall provide for a Record Date prior to Interest Payment Dates on
which the registered owners of the Bonds are to be determined for the purpose of receiving payments of
interest on the Bonds, the Bank will promptly, following such Record Date, proceed to prepare
appropriate checks for payment of interest coming due on the succeeding payment date at the rates and on
the terms specified in the Bond Ordinance, together with appropriate envelopes for the purpose of mailing
such checks to the owners of record of the Bonds, except with respect to payment of interest to be made
by electronic transfer. The District agrees that it will endeavor to provide to the Bank collected funds for
the purpose of making such payments not later than the earlier of the date on which such funds are
required to be provided to the Bank under the terms of the Bond Ordinance or the Business Day next
preceding each such payment date. If the Bank shall have been furnished with collected funds sufficient
to make such payment, the Bank shall mail the checks to the registered owners of the Bonds as aforesaid
E-2
not later than the Business Day next preceding each such payment date. At the written request of the
registered owner of at least $500,000 in aggregate Principal of the Bonds, the payment of such interest
shall be made by electronic transfer. Payment of interest to be made by electronic transfer shall be made
prior to 12:00 noon on each payment date. Payment of Principal coming due on the Bonds at the maturity
thereof or prior thereto upon call for redemption shall be paid by the Bank to the registered owners
thereof only upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds with respect to which payment is to be made.
Payments of Principal of the Bonds will be made only to the registered owners of the Bonds, unless such
Bonds are surrendered for payment accompanied by assignments appropriate to effect transfer to the
person to whom such payment is to be made. In the event Bonds are surrendered for payment with any
such instruments of transfer, the Bank shall be entitled to effect such transfer in the same manner as other
transfers of the Bonds are to be effected prior to making payment to the transferee.
8. All Bonds which have been delivered to the Bank for transfer or exchange shall, upon
issuance of Bonds effecting such transfer or exchange, be cancelled by the Bank but retained by the Bank
in its possession; provided, that at any time all such cancelled Bonds may be delivered by the Bank to the
District and a certificate pertaining to such cancelled Bonds shall be so delivered to the District from time
to time as the District may request or as required by the Bond Ordinance.
9. In the event the Bank shall receive any request or demand for inspection of any records of
the District maintained by the Bank under this Agreement, the Bank will promptly notify the District of
such request or demand, forward such request or demand (if made in writing) to the District, and (unless
directed to the contrary by any order, subpoena, or similar process of a court or regulatory agency which
the Bank believes to have jurisdiction, or unless the Bank shall be advised by its counsel that failure to
permit such inspection may subject the Bank to liability), the Bank will permit or refuse to allow such
inspection as the District may direct.
10. In performance of its duties hereunder the Bank may apply to a designated officer of the
District for instructions and may consult with counsel for the District in respect of any matter arising in
connection with this agency, and the Bank shall not be liable or accountable for any action taken or
omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such instructions or any such opinion of counsel. The
District shall reimburse the Bank for any counsel fees incurred by the Bank hereunder, provided that such
consultation with counsel has been previously authorized by the District or is reasonably necessary in
order for the Bank to determine its responsibilities under this Agreement.
11. In the event that Bonds are presented to the Bank for transfer, registration of transfer, or
exchange, or for payment of the Principal thereof at maturity or prior thereto upon call for redemption, the
Bank shall use reasonable diligence in determining whether such Bonds are genuine, but shall not
otherwise incur any liability by reason of the transfer, registration of transfer, exchange, or payment of
any such forged or illegally issued Bonds.
l2. The District assumes full responsibility for and agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to
indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from and against any claims, demands, actions, causes of action,
or suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all losses, damages, charges,
counsel fees, payments, expenses, and liabilities of whatever nature arising directly or indirectly out of the
agency relationship created hereunder so long as the Bank has acted in good faith and with reasonable
diligence. The Bank shall not be under any obligation to prosecute or defend any action or suit in respect
of such agency relationship which, in the opinion of counsel to the Bank, may involve it in any expense or
liability unless the District shall, to the extent permitted by law and upon the request of the Bank, furnish
the Bank with indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Bank against all such expenses or liabilities.
E-3
13. The Bank shall be entitled to compensation for services rendered in performance of its
duties hereunder, in accordance with the Schedule of Fees attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. The
District shall further reimburse the Bank for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performance of its
duties hereunder. Such fees and reimbursement of expenses shall be due and payable to the Bank from
time to time periodically upon presentation of a written statement therefor. The Bank shall not be
obligated to allow and credit interest upon any moneys in respect of Principal, interest, or premium, if
any, due in respect to the Bonds, which it shall at any time receive under any of the provisions of the
Bond Ordinance or this Agreement.
14. The Bank may resign the agency created under this Agreement at any time on not less
than 90 days’ written notice to the District, and the District may terminate this agency at any time upon
notice to the Bank. In the event of any such termination, the Bank shall deliver to the District or to such
successor or other person as the District may direct any inventory of blank Bonds then held by the Bank,
together with originals or appropriately verified copies of all records of the Bank pertaining to this agency
then in the possession of the Bank. Upon such delivery of Bonds and records to the District, the Bank
shall have no further obligation hereunder except as may have theretofore arisen. Upon any such
termination, the District shall have no further obligation under this Agreement except to pay to the Bank
any fees and expenses incurred or accrued through the date of such termination which have not
theretofore been paid.
15. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof, and may not be amended or modified except in writing signed by the parties
hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned acting by and through their duly authorized
representatives have hereunto set their respective hands and seals as of the date and year first above
