                     CITY OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI (the “City”), a constitutional charter city and political subdivision duly organized and existing under the Constitution and 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 shall have been called for redemption prior to maturity and payment of the redemption price shall have been duly made or provided for, the principal amount identified above and to pay (but only out of the sources provided) interest on the balance of such principal amount from time to time remaining unpaid from and including the date hereof or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) with respect to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until payment of such principal amount has been made, at the Interest Rate per annum shown above (computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) on June 1 and December 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”) commencing [_____________], [20__], until the payment of the principal amount of this Bond is paid 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 U.S. Bank National Association, St. Louis, Missouri, as registrar and paying agent (the “Bond Registrar” or the “Paying Agent”).  Payment of interest on this Bond shall be made to the registered owner and shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America by check or draft mailed on the applicable Interest Payment Date to such registered owner as of the close of business on the 15th day of the calendar month (the “Record Date”) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date at its address as it appears on the registration books (the “Bond Register”) of the City 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 the Paying Agent or transmitted by electronic transfer to such registered owner at an account maintained 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 “City of Kansas City, Missouri Water Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2021A” (the “Series 2021A Bonds”), issued by the City 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 Charter and Section 108.140 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, as amended.  The Series 2021A Bonds have been authorized by a Master Bond Ordinance and a Series Ordinance duly adopted by the City (collectively, the “Bond Ordinance”), for the purpose of (1) refunding the City’s outstanding Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2012A, (2) refunding the City’s outstanding Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2013A, and (3) paying costs of issuing the Series 2021A Bonds.  The Series 2021A Bonds are all issued under and equally and ratably secured by and entitled to the benefit of the Master Bond Ordinance.  Capitalized terms not defined herein are used with the meanings given to them in the Bond Ordinance.

 

                     The Series 2021A Bonds maturing on or after December 1, [20__], are subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the City on or after December 1, [20__], in whole or in part at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series 2021A Bonds to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

 

                     [The Series 2021A Bonds maturing on December 1, 20__, are subject to mandatory redemption prior to maturity by application of payments from the Sinking Fund Account, in accordance with the Bond Ordinance, at a redemption price equal to the principal amounts of the Series 2021A Bonds set forth below plus the interest due thereon on the redemption date, on December 1 in each year as set forth below:

                     Notice of redemption, unless waived, is to be given by first class mail at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the registered owner of each Series 2021A 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 2021A 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 2021A Bonds on such date, and interest on the Series 2021A Bonds or portions of Series 2021A Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such Series 2021A Bonds or portions of Series 2021A Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit, or security under the Bond Ordinance, and the owners of such Series 2021A Bonds or portions of Series 2021A 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 2021A Bonds.

 

                     The City (or Paying Agent on behalf of the City) has established a book-entry system of registration for the Series 2021A 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 2021A Bonds are in the book-entry system of registration, the Bond Ordinance provides special provisions relating to the Series 2021A 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 2021A 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 2021A Bond after notice calling such Series 2021A 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 City or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any Series 2021A 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 2021A Bonds, the Series 2020A Bonds, the Series 2019A Bonds, the Series 2017A, the Series 2015A Bonds, the Series 2014A Bonds, and such other revenue bonds of the City as may in the future be issued on a parity therewith, are equally and ratably secured by pledge of the “Pledged Revenues” of the waterworks system (the “System”) of the City, which is defined in the Master 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 2021A BONDS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A DEBT OF THE CITY NOR A PLEDGE OF THE FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE CITY.  THE SERIES 2021A 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 CITY 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 CITY TO PAY THIS BOND OR THE INTEREST HEREON, NOR TO ENFORCE PAYMENT OF THIS BOND AGAINST ANY PROPERTY OF THE CITY; NOR SHALL THIS BOND CONSTITUTE A CHARGE, LIEN OR ENCUMBRANCE, LEGAL OR EQUITABLE, UPON ANY PROPERTY OF THE CITY, EXCEPT FOR THE PLEDGED REVENUES AND ANY OTHER FUNDS PLEDGED TO SECURE THE SERIES 2021A BONDS.

 

                     The City has covenanted and hereby covenants and agrees at all times while any Series 2021A 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 (ii) produce Net Operating Revenues, adjusted to exclude any revenues or expenses resulting from a gain or loss, or mark-to-market change to any Hedge Agreement, 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 Fiscal Year of computation, 115% of the Debt Service Requirement on all Bonds then Outstanding for the Fiscal Year of computation and 110% of the Debt Service Requirement on all Bonds and Other System Obligations then Outstanding for the Fiscal Year of computation, (b) enable the City to make all required payments into the Debt Service Reserve Subaccount and the Rebate Account and to any Credit Facility Provider, any Reserve Account Credit Facility Provider, and any Hedge Payments, (c) enable the City to make any payments into the Renewal and Replacement Account required by the Operating and Capital Reserves Policy established and approved by the Water Services Department and the City Council, as may be amended from time to time, 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 2021A 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 Series 2021A 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.

 

 

 

 

 

                     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City has caused this Bond to be executed by the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the City Clerk and has caused the official seal of the City to be affixed hereto or imprinted hereon.
