State of Missouri and the District's Charter (Plan), as amended, approved by the voters for its government
(the "Charter"), owns and operates a revenue producing sanitary sewer system (the "System", as hereinafter
more fully defined).
2. The District desires to refund certain outstanding revenue bonds, as further described
herein, and is authorized under the provisions of the Charter to issue and sell revenue bonds for the purpose
of providing funds for such purpose, provided that the principal of and interest on such revenue bonds shall
be payable solely from the revenues derived from the operation of the System.
3. Pursuant to an election duly held on February 3, 2004, the qualified electors of the District
authorized the issuance of $500,000,000 of revenue bonds, all of which have heretofore been issued as
described herein.
4. Pursuant to an election duly held on August 5, 2008, the qualified electors of the District
authorized the issuance of $275,000,000 of revenue bonds, all of which have heretofore been issued as
described herein.
5. Pursuant to an election duly held on June 5, 2012, the qualified electors of the District
authorized the issuance of $945,000,000 of revenue bonds, all of which have heretofore been issued as
described herein.
6. Pursuant to an election duly held on April 5, 2016, the qualified electors of the District
authorized the issuance of $900,000,000 of revenue bonds, $546,873,204 of the bonds authorized at the
April 5, 2016 election have heretofore been issued (the project portion of the Series 2017A Bonds, the
Series 2018A Bond, the Series 2018B Bonds, the Series 2019A Bonds, the Series 2019B Bonds, the Series
2020A Bonds, the Series 2020B Bonds, the Series 2021A Bonds and the Series 2021B Bonds, each as
defined on Schedules I or II attached hereto).
7. The District hereby ratifies and affirms the Master Bond Ordinance No. 11713 passed on
April 22, 2004 (the "Master Bond Ordinance").
8. As of July 1, 2021, the District had $1,262,436,480 principal amount of Outstanding Senior
Bonds (as further described on Schedule I attached hereto) and $393,162,839 principal amount of
Outstanding Subordinate Bonds (as further described on Schedule II attached hereto).
9. Under the provisions of the Master Bond Ordinance, the District may issue additional
bonds payable out of the Pledged Revenues that are senior to the Outstanding Subordinate Bonds, and that
are on parity with the Outstanding Senior Bonds (within the meaning of the Master Bond Ordinance), for
the purpose of refunding Outstanding Senior Bonds, if certain conditions are met.
10. The District has determined that it is necessary and desirable and in the best interests of the
citizens of the area served by the System for the District to consider refunding some or all of the Outstanding
Senior Bonds (as identified in a Certificate of Final Terms, the "Refunded Bonds") and to finance the costs
of the refunding by issuing one or more series of refunding revenue bonds, each in the Original Principal
Amount (as defined below) (collectively, the "Refunding Bonds").
11. The District reserves the right to not issue any of the Refunding Bonds and not refund any
of the Refunded Bonds in the event that the Chief Financial Officer determines that such refunding would
not benefit the District, for example if such refunding would result in insufficient net present value savings,
after consultation with the District's financial advisors.
12. The Refunding Bonds are being issued as Senior Bonds (within the meaning of the Master
Bond Ordinance) on a parity with the Outstanding Senior Bonds under the Master Bond Ordinance and this
Ordinance; this Ordinance constitutes a Series Ordinance (within the meaning of the Master Bond
Ordinance); and the provisions of the Master Bond Ordinance are applicable to the Refunding Bonds except
as otherwise provided in this Ordinance.
13. The District, upon the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, will not have outstanding any
other bonds or other obligations payable from the Pledged Revenues other than the Outstanding Senior
Bonds and the Outstanding Subordinate Bonds.
NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Ordained by the Board of Trustees of The Metropolitan St. Louis

Authorization of Refunding Bonds; Details.
(a) The District hereby authorizes the execution, issuance, and delivery of one or more series
of Refunding Bonds each to be designated, if and when issued by the District, "The Metropolitan St. Louis
Sewer District Wastewater System Refunding Revenue Bonds," and in addition shall include such further
appropriate particular designation added to or incorporated in such title for the Refunding Bonds of any
particular series as the District may determine, such as the calendar year of issuance followed by a capital
letter beginning with "A" (e.g., "Series 2021A"). Each Bond shall bear upon its face the designation so
determined for the series to which it belongs. Each series of Refunding Bonds will be in the Original
Principal Amount determined in the Certificate of Final Terms. The Refunding Bonds are further subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 6.1 hereof.
(b) Each series of Refunding Bonds shall be executed, issued, and delivered under, and secured
by, the Master Bond Ordinance and this Ordinance, for the purpose of providing funds to (a) refund all or
a portion of the Refunded Bonds and (b) pay the Costs of Issuance of the Refunding Bonds. Each series of
Refunding Bonds will comply with Section 5.2 of the Master Bond Ordinance.
(c) Each series of the Refunding Bonds shall constitute a series of Senior Uncovered Bonds
and thus will not be secured by the Debt Service Reserve Account.
(d) Each series of the Refunding Bonds shall be dated the Settlement Date and issued in
denominations as set forth in the Certificate of Final Terms. Each series of Refunding Bonds shall be
issuable as one fully -registered bond numbered R-1 in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A attached
hereto, with such variations, omissions, substitutions and insertions as are required or permitted by the
Master Bond Ordinance and this Ordinance.
(e) Each series of the Refunding Bonds shall bear interest at the rates per annum set forth in
the respective Certificate of Final Terms, computed on the basis of a 360 -day year consisting of twelve 30 -
day months, payable on such Interest Payment Dates beginning on the respective Settlement Date set forth
in the Certificate of Final Terms, and shall mature on such Principal Maturity Date in the years and in the
Principal amounts set forth in the Certificate of Final Terms, unless earlier called for redemption. Each
series of Refunding Bonds will not be outstanding hereunder prior to its Settlement Date and therefore no
interest will accrue on a series of Refunding Bonds until the Settlement Date for that series of Refunding
Bonds.
(f) Whether a series of Refunding Bonds is being issued by means of a book -entry system will
be determined in the Certificate of Final Terms along with whether that particular series of Refunding
Bonds will bear CUSIP identification numbers.

Refunding Bonds or portions thereof may be called for redemption and payment prior to their Stated
Maturity on the dates, at the redemption prices and subject to the terms set forth in the Certificate of Final

such redemption as provided in the Master Bond Ordinance upon receipt by the Paying Agent at least 45
days prior to the redemption date of the District's written instructions specifying the Principal amount,

after consultation with the District's financial advisors, may determine that the Refunding Bonds issued on
a taxable basis for federal income tax purposes will be sold with a "Make Whole Call" provision. The

call for redemption and payment of the Refunded Bonds to be given in the manner provided in the Master
Bond Ordinance. The officers of the District and the Paying Agent for the Refunded Bonds are hereby

the Settlement Date, the District shall instruct the Depository to transfer any proceeds of the Refunding
Bonds in the Costs of Issuance Account to the Payments Account of the Sinking Fund.
Section 6.5. Tax Status of the Refunding Bonds.
(a) In the event a series of Refunding Bonds is issued on a tax-exempt basis for federal income
tax purposes, the District will execute a Federal Tax Certificate relating to that particular series of
Refunding Bonds and covenants and agrees that (1) it will comply with all applicable provisions of the
Code necessary to maintain the exclusion from federal gross income of the interest on said Refunding Bonds
and (2) comply with all provisions and requirements of the Federal Tax Certificate. The Chairman of the
Governing Body, the Chief Officer or the Chief Financial Officer are hereby authorized to execute the
Federal Tax Certificate in a form approved by Bond Counsel, for and on behalf of and as the act and deed
of the District. The District will also pass such other ordinances or resolutions and take such other actions
as may be necessary to comply with the Code and with all other applicable future laws, regulations,
published rulings and judicial decisions in order to ensure that the interest on the tax-exempt Refunding
Bonds will remain excluded from federal gross income, to the extent any such actions can be taken by the
District.
(b) The covenants contained in this Section 6.5 and in the Federal Tax Certificate shall remain
in full force and effect notwithstanding the defeasance of the Refunding Bonds pursuant to the Master Bond
Ordinance or any other provision of this Ordinance until the final maturity of the tax-exempt series of
Refunding Bonds.
(c) In the event that federal tax legislation prohibits the issuance of advance refunding bonds
on a tax-exempt basis for federal income tax purposes, the District reserves the right to refund any of the
Refunded Bonds in whole or in part on a taxable basis if the Chief Financial Officer, after consultation with
the District's financial advisors, determines that such refunding would be of benefit to the District and
sufficient net present value savings would still be achieved. In the event one or more series of the Refunding
Bonds are issued as taxable for federal income tax purposes, this Section 6.5 shall not apply to said series
of Refunding Bonds.

This Bond is one of a duly authorized series of bonds designated "The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer
District [Taxable] Wastewater System Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 20_[A]" (the "Series 20_[A]
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 20 [A] 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 August 12, 2021
(collectively, the "Bond Ordinance") for the purpose of (a) refunding outstanding revenue obligations of
the District [*and (b) paying the costs of issuance of the Series 20 [A] Bonds.*] The Series 20 [A]
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 20 [A] Bonds or portions thereof maturing on
20 and thereafter may be called for redemption and payment prior to their Stated Maturity on
, 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 20 [A] Bonds maturing on , 20 are subject to mandatory redemption
and payment prior to maturity pursuant to the mandatory redemption requirements of the Bond Ordinance
on 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 20 [A] 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 20 [A] 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 redemption of such Series
A-2
20 [A] Bonds on such date, and interest on the Series 20 [A] Bonds or portions of Series 20 [A]
Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such Series 20 [A] Bonds or portions of Series
20 [A] Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit, or security under the Bond Ordinance, and
the owners of such Series 20 [A] Bonds or portions of Series 20 [A] 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 20 [A] Bonds.
[The District has established a book -entry system of registration for the Series 20 [A] 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
20 [A] Bonds are in the book -entry system of registration, the Bond Ordinance provides special
provisions relating to the Series 20 [A] 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 20 [A] Bonds are issuable as fully registered Bonds in the denomination of
$ or any integral multiple thereof. The Bond Registrar is not required to transfer or exchange
any Series 20 [A] Bond after notice calling such Series 20 [A] 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 20 [A] 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 20 [A] 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(0 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and any regulations promulgated with respect to any such rebate requirement.
THE SERIES 20 [A] 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
20 [A] 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 20 [A] BONDS.
The District has covenanted and hereby covenants and agrees at all times while any Series
20 [A] 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 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 Series 20 [A] 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 20 [A] 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.
