THE CITY OF KANSAS
CITY, MISSOURI, a city and political subdivision of the State of Missouri (the
"City"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Owner
shown above, or registered assigns, the Principal Amount shown above in
installments in the amounts and on the Maturity Dates referenced above, and to
pay interest thereon at the annual Interest Rates referenced above (computed on

The principal of and

earlier redemption to the person in whose name this Bond is registered at the
maturity or redemption date, upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at
the principal payment office of UMB BANK, N.A. in the City of St. Louis,
Missouri (the "Paying Agent"). The interest payable on this Bond on
any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Bond is
registered on the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent at the
close of business on the Record Date. The Record Date is the fifteenth day
(whether or not a business day) of the calendar month next preceding the
Interest Payment Date. The principal of and redemption premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds is payable by electronic transfer in immediately
available federal funds to a bank in the continental United States of America
pursuant to instructions from the Owner received by the Paying Agent prior to
the Record Date. The principal of, redemption premium, if any, 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 City
designated "Sanitary Sewer System Revenue Bonds (State Revolving Fund
Program) Series 2004H" aggregating the principal amount of $10,500,000
(the "Bonds"), issued by the City
for the purpose of extending and improving the City's Sanitary Sewer System
(the "Sanitary Sewer System"), under the authority of and in full
compliance with Chapter 250 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri and pursuant to
an election duly held in the City and Ordinance No. ______ and Ordinance No.
__________ adopted by the governing body of the City (the "Ordinance").
Certain 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.
At the option of the City, certain Bonds may be called for
redemption and payment prior to maturity in whole or in part on any date with
the consent of the Bondowner, as provided in the Ordinance.
Bonds will be
optionally redeemed in part in integral multiples of $5,000 (unless otherwise
approved in writing by the Bondowner) from the maturities selected by the City with the prior written consent of the
Bondowner. Upon redemption, the sinking fund redemption amounts for each
maturity will be proportionately reduced, subject to rounding to integral
multiples of $5,000 (unless otherwise approved in writing by the Bondowner).
The City will give written notice to
the Paying Agent, as trustee (the "Trustee"), designating the amount
of each maturity redeemed and the reduction in each sinking fund installment,
subject to verification by the Trustee. In exercising its option to redeem the
Bonds, the City will deposit with the
Paying Agent, in addition to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Bonds, an additional premium equal to 30days' interest on the Bonds to be
redeemed for an additional 30day period.
If all of the Bonds
are held by the Bondowner, no notice of the mandatory sinking fund redemption
of Bonds is required to be given. If the Bonds are held by any Owner other
than the Bondowner or if Bonds are being optionally redeemed, notice of
redemption will be given, unless waived, by mailing a redemption notice by
registered or certified mail at least 45 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption, to the Owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on
the Bond Register. If notice of redemption has been given or waived, the Bonds
or portions of Bonds called for redemption will become due and payable on the
redemption date at the redemption price specified in the notice. From and
after the redemption date the Bonds called for redemption will cease to bear
interest date unless the City
defaults in the payment of the redemption price.
The Bonds are limited
obligations of the City payable
solely from, and secured as to the payment of principal and interest by a
pledge of, the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues (as defined in the Ordinance). The
taxing power of the City is not
pledged to the payment of the Bonds either as to principal or interest. The
Bonds do not constitute a general obligation of the City or an indebtedness of the City
within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision, limitation or
restriction. Under the conditions set forth in the Ordinance, the City has the right to issue additional
parity bonds payable from, and secured by, the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues.
The Bonds are junior
and subordinate to the Outstanding Senior Bonds with respect to payment of
principal and interest from the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues. The Bonds are not
payable from the stormwater portion of the Combined System Revenues (as defined
in the Ordinance). In the event of any default in the payment of the
Outstanding Senior Bonds, the Combined System 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 a parity with respect to
payment of principal and interest from the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues and in
all other respects with the Outstanding Parity Bonds (as defined in the
Ordinance).
The City covenants with the Owner of this Bond
to keep and perform all covenants and agreements contained in the Ordinance,
and the City will fix, establish,
maintain and collect rates, fees and charges for the use and services furnished
by or through the Sanitary Sewer System to produce Sanitary Sewer Revenues
sufficient to pay the operation and maintenance costs of the Sanitary Sewer
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 City
with respect to the collection, segregation and application of the Sanitary
Sewer Revenues, the nature and extent of the security for the Bonds, the
rights, duties and obligations of the City
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 $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000.
This Bond may be
transferred or exchanged, as provided in the Ordinance, only upon the
registration books kept for that purpose at the abovementioned office of the
Paying Agent. Upon surrender of any Bond at the principal payment 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. All Bonds presented for transfer
or exchange must be surrendered to the Paying Agent for cancellation. For
every exchange or transfer of Bonds the City
or the Paying Agent may levy a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax,
fee or other governmental charge required to be paid for the exchange or
transfer. 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,

Sanitary Sewer Depreciation and Replacement Account.
(c) Moneys in the
Sanitary Sewer Surplus Account are to be expended for the following purposes as

and maintain the Sanitary Sewer System in good repair and working order.
Section 802. Rate Covenant.
The City will fix, establish,

request. The annual budget will be prepared in accordance with the laws
of the State.
Section 805. Annual Audit.
(a) Promptly after the
end of each Fiscal Year, the City

accountants employed for that purpose and paid from the Sanitary Sewer
Revenues. The annual audit will cover in reasonable detail the operation of

after the completion of the annual audit, the City will review the annual
audit, and if the annual audit reveals any breach of this Ordinance, the City agrees to promptly cure the breach.
Section 806. Performance of Duties. The City will faithfully and punctually perform
all duties and obligations with respect to the operation of the Sanitary Sewer
System now or hereafter imposed upon the City
by the Constitution and laws of the State and the provisions of this Ordinance.
Section 807. Tax Covenants.
(a) The City will comply
with all applicable provisions of the Code, including Sections 103 and 141

other applicable future law, in order to ensure that the interest on the
Authority Bonds will remain excluded from federal gross income.

Bonds are issued, and (2) will not invest or directly or indirectly use or
permit the use of any proceeds of the Bonds or any other funds of the City in
any manner, or take or omit to take any action, that would cause the Authority
Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148(a) of
the Code.
(c) The City will not use
any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, including any investment income
earned on the proceeds, directly or indirectly, (1) in a manner that would
cause any Bond to be a "private activity bond" within the meaning of
Section 141(a) of the Code, or (2) to make or finance a loan to any
person.
(d) The City will
pay to the Trustee, for deposit to the Interest Account and subsequent transfer
as provided in the Indenture, an amount equal to arbitrage rebate and the costs
incurred in connection with determining arbitrage rebate, at the times required
by the Arbitrage Instructions. The
provisions of this paragraph will survive the payment in full or
defeasance of the Bonds.
ARTICLE IX
aDDITIONAL BONDS
Section 901. Prior Lien Bonds.
Except as provided in Section 904, the City
will not issue any debt obligations payable out of the Net Sanitary Sewer
Revenues which are superior in lien, security or otherwise to the Bonds.
Section 902. Parity Lien Bonds or Obligations.
(a) The City will not issue any additional bonds or
other longterm obligations payable out of the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues
which stand on a parity or equality with the Bonds unless the following
conditions are met:
(1) the City is not in default in the payment of
principal or interest on the Bonds or any Parity Bonds or in making any deposit
into the funds and accounts under this Ordinance or any Parity Ordinance; and
(2) the City provides to the Bondowner and the
Trustee a certificate showing either of the following:
(A) the average annual Net Sanitary
Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service plus Administrative Service Fees as
set forth in the two most recent annual audits for Fiscal Years preceding the
issuance of additional bonds, are at least 110% of the average annual debt
service on the Sanitary Sewer System Revenue Bonds (excluding subordinate
revenue bonds or obligations), including the additional bonds proposed to be
issued, to be paid out of the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues in all succeeding
Fiscal Years. Interest to be paid on any SRF Program Bonds may be reduced by
the SRF Subsidy, if any. In determining Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available
for Debt Service, the City may rely on a certificate of the Consultant to add
the additional Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service which
would have resulted if the rate increase had been in effect for the entire
period to the audited Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service if
the City has made any increase in rates for the use and services of the
Sanitary Sewer System and the increase has not been in effect during all of the
two Fiscal Years for which annual audits are available; or
(B) the estimated average annual Net
Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service plus Administrative Service
Fees for the two Fiscal Years immediately following the Fiscal Year in which
the improvements to the Sanitary Sewer System being financed by the additional
bonds are to be in commercial operation, as certified by the Consultant, is at
least 110% of the average annual debt service on the Sanitary Sewer System
Revenue Bonds (excluding subordinate revenue bonds or obligations), including
the additional bonds proposed to be issued, to be paid out of the Net Sanitary
Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service in succeeding Fiscal Years following
the commencement of commercial operation of the improvements. Interest to be
paid on any SRF Program Bonds may be reduced by the SRF Subsidy, if any. In
determining the amount of estimated Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for
Debt Service for the purpose of this subsection, the Consultant may adjust the
estimated net income and revenues by adding the estimated increase in Net
Sanitary Sewer Revenues Available for Debt Service resulting from any increase
in rates for the use and services of the Sanitary Sewer System approved by the City.
(b) If the conditions set
forth in this Section are satisfied, the City
(i) may issue additional revenue bonds or other obligations of the City on a parity with the Bonds and that enjoy
complete equality of the lien on the Net Sanitary Sewer Revenues with the
Bonds, (ii) may make equal provision for paying the additional revenue bonds or
other obligations from the Sewer Fund, and (iii) may secure the additional
revenue bonds or other obligations by funding reasonable Sanitary Sewer System
debt service accounts and debt service reserve accounts from the Net Sanitary
Sewer Revenues.
Section 903. Junior Lien Bonds.
Nothing in this Article prohibits or restricts the right of the City to issue additional revenue
obligations, including revenue bonds, for the purpose of extending, improving,
enlarging, repairing or altering the Sanitary Sewer System, or refunding
obligations issued for such purpose, that are subordinate to the Bonds if at
the time of the issuance of the additional revenue obligations the City is not in default in the performance
of any covenant or agreement in this Ordinance. If the City is in default in paying either interest on or principal of
the Bonds, or if the Reserve Account is not fully funded pursuant to the
Indenture, the City shall not make
any payments on the subordinate revenue obligations until the default is
cured. Subject to the limitations in this Section, the City may make provision for paying the principal of and interest
on the subordinate revenue bonds or obligations from moneys in the Sewer Fund.
Section 904. Refunding Bonds.
(a) The City may, without complying with the
provisions of Section 902, refund any of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds
in a manner which provides debt service savings to the City, and the refunding bonds so issued will be on a parity with
any of the Bonds or any Parity Bonds that are not refunded. If the Bonds are
refunded in part and the refunding bonds bear a higher average rate of interest
or become due on a date earlier than that of the Bonds which are refunded, the City must obtain the prior written consent
of the Bondowner and DNR to the issuance of the refunding bonds.
(b) The Citymay refund any of the Outstanding Senior Bonds in a manner which provides debt service
savings to the City in each subsequent Fiscal Year, and the refunding bonds so
issued may have a priority lien on the Net Sanitary Sewer System Revenues.
ARTICLE X
dEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 1001. Event of Default.
If (i) the City defaults in the
payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Bonds, or (ii) the City or its Governing Body or any of its
officers, agents or employees fails or refuses to comply with any provision of
this Ordinance, the Constitution or statutes of the State, the Purchase
Agreement or the Revolving Fund Agreement and default continues for a period of
60 days after written notice specifying the nonpayment default has been given
to the City by the Trustee, the
Authority, DNR or the Owner of any Bond then Outstanding, at any time
thereafter and while the default continues, the City shall pay to DNR the penalties assessed by DNR in accordance
with the Regulations. The penalties will be assessed as a reduction in the
credit provided in Section 602(a)(2)(A).
Section
1002. Remedies.
(a) The provisions of
this Ordinance constitute a contract between the City and the Owners of the Bonds. The Owner or Owners of not
less than 10% in principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding have the
right for the equal benefit and protection of all Owners of Bonds similarly
situated:
(1) by any proceeding
at law or in equity to enforce the rights of the Owner or Owners against the City and its officers, agents and
employees, and to compel the performance by the City of its duties and obligations under this Ordinance, the
Constitution and the laws of the State;
(2) by any proceeding
at law or in equity to require the City,
its officers, agents and employees to account as if they were the trustees of
an express trust; and
(3) by any proceeding
at law or in equity to enjoin any act or thing which is unlawful or in violation
of the rights of the Owners of the Bonds.
(b) Any amounts paid on
the Bonds to the Owners will be applied first to interest and second to
principal, to the extent due and payable.
Section 1003. Limitation on Rights of Bondowners. No
Owner has any right in any manner whatever by the Owner's action to affect,
disturb or prejudice the security granted and provided for in, or enforce any
right under, this Ordinance, except in the manner provided in this Ordinance.
All proceedings at law or in equity will be for the equal benefit of all
Owners.
Section 1004. Remedies Cumulative.
No remedy conferred upon the Owners is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy. Each remedy is in addition to every other remedy and may be exercised
without exhausting any other remedy conferred under this Ordinance. No waiver
by any Owner of any default or breach of duty or contract of the City under this Ordinance will affect any
subsequent default or breach of duty or contract by the City or impair any rights or remedies thereon. No delay or
omission of any Owner to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default
will impair any right or power or will be construed to be a waiver of any
default. Every substantive right and every remedy conferred upon the Owners of
the Bonds by this Ordinance may be enforced and exercised from time to time and
as often as may be expedient. If any Owner discontinues any proceeding or the
decision in the proceeding is against the Owner, the City and the Owners of the Bonds will be restored to their former
positions and rights under this Ordinance.
Section 1005. No Obligation to Levy Taxes.
Nothing in this Ordinance imposes any duty or obligation on the City to levy any taxes either to meet any
obligation incurred under this Ordinance or to pay the principal of or interest
on the Bonds.
ARTICLE XI
DEFEASANCE
Section 1101. Defeasance.
When all of the Bonds have been paid and discharged, the provisions of this Ordinance
(other than Section 807) will terminate. Bonds will be treated as paid
and discharged within the meaning of this Ordinance if the City has deposited with the Paying Agent,
or other bank or trust company authorized to do business in the State, having
full trust powers and meeting the requirements of a successor Trustee under the
Indenture, (i) moneys and noncallable Defeasance Securities which, together
with interest to be earned, as evidenced by the written report of an
independent certified public accountant, will be sufficient for the payment of
the principal and redemption premium, if any, of and interest to accrue on the
Bonds to the date of maturity or redemption, plus an additional premium on
Bonds being optionally redeemed equal to interest that would otherwise accrue on
the Bonds for an additional 30day period, and (ii) an opinion of Bond Counsel,
addressed to the Authority and the Trustee, that providing for the payment of
the Bonds by depositing moneys or Defeasance Securities with the Paying Agent
in accordance with this Section will not cause the interest on the Authority
Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. If any
Bonds will be redeemed prior to maturity, the City
must have given irrevocable instructions to the Paying Agent to redeem the
Bonds. Any moneys and obligations which at any time are deposited with the
Paying Agent or other bank by or on behalf of the City, for the purpose of paying and discharging any of the Bonds,
are assigned, transferred and set over in trust for the applicable Owners, and
the moneys and obligations are irrevocably appropriated to the payment and
discharge of the applicable Bonds.
ARTICLE XII

Section 1201. Amendments.
(a) The provisions of
this Article are not applicable to the Terms Ordinance.
(b) Any provision of the
Bonds or of this Ordinance may be amended by an Ordinance with the written
consent of the Authority and the Trustee. Consent must be evidenced by an
instrument executed by the Authority and the Trustee, acknowledged or proved in
the manner of a deed to be recorded, and filed with the City Clerk. In
addition, the prior written consent of the Bondowner and DNR is required for
any amendment which would:
(1) extend the
maturity of any payment of principal or interest on any Bond;

of principal or interest payable on any Bond; or
(3) permit the
priority of any Bond over any other Bond.

file a copy of the amendment and all required consents.
