The principal of this Bond shall be paid at maturity or upon earlier redemption to the
person in whose name this Bond is registered on the Bond Register at the maturity or redemption
date thereof, upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the payment office of UMB BANK,
N.A. in St. Louis, Missouri (the “Paying Agent”). The payment of the principal of and

America pursuant to instructions from any Owner received by the Paying Agent prior to the
Record Date. The principal of and interest on this Bond is payable in lawful money of the
United States of America.
This Bond is one of a duly authorized series of bonds of the District designated
“Subordinate Wastewater System Revenue Bonds (State of Missouri – Direct Loan Program)
Series 2010C” (the “Bonds”), issued by the District for the construction, improvement,
renovation, repair, replacement and equipping of its wastewater system (together with all future
improvements and extensions, the “System”), under the authority of and in full compliance with
the District’s Charter (Plan), as amended, and pursuant to an election duly held in the District
and an ordinance duly adopted by the governing body of the District (the “Ordinance”).
At the option of the District, the Bonds may be called for redemption and payment prior
to maturity in whole or in part as provided in the Ordinance.
The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption and payment prior to maturity pursuant
to the mandatory redemption requirements of the Ordinance, at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the redemption date.
Except as otherwise provided in the Ordinance, notice of redemption, unless waived, is to
be given by the Paying Agent by mailing an official redemption notice by registered or certified
mail at least 15 days, but not more than 30 days, prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the
Owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond Register or at
such other address as is furnished in writing by such Owner to the Paying Agent. Notice of
redemption having been given or waived as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of Bonds so to be
redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein
specified, and from and after such date (unless the District shall default in the payment of the
redemption price) such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest.
The Bonds are special, 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. 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. Under the conditions set
forth in the Ordinance, the District has the right to issue additional senior bonds and additional
parity bonds payable from, and secured by, the Pledged Revenues. The District has no authority
to levy any taxes to pay the Bonds.
The Bonds are subordinate with respect to payment of principal and interest from the
Pledged Revenues and in all other respects to the Outstanding Senior Bonds. 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.
A-2
The Bonds are issued on parity with the Outstanding Parity Bonds.
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.
Reference is made to the Ordinance for a description of the agreements made by the District with
respect to the collection, segregation and application of the Revenues, the nature and extent of
the security for the Bonds, the rights, duties and obligations of the District with respect to the
Bonds, and the rights of the Owners.
The Bonds are issuable in the form of fully registered Bonds without coupons in the
denomination of $100 or any integral multiple of $0.01 in excess thereof.
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 this Bond together with a written instrument of transfer or exchange satisfactory to
the Paying Agent duly executed by the Owner or the Owner’s duly authorized agent, and
thereupon a new Bond or Bonds in any authorized denomination of the same maturity and in the
same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor as
provided in the Ordinance, and upon payment of the charges therein prescribed. The District and
the Paying Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered on the
Bond Register as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on
account of, the principal or redemption price hereof and interest due hereon and for all other
purposes.
This Bond will not be valid or be entitled to any security or benefit under the Ordinance
until the Paying Agent has executed the Certificate of Authentication.
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.
