All such interest payments shall be payable to the persons in whose name such Bonds are registered on the bond registration books maintained by Regions Bank, Little Rock, Arkansas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as of the fifteenth day preceding the applicable interest payment date. Principal of and premium, if any, on the Bonds shall be payable at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee. So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the Bonds, disbursement of such payments to DTC Participants is the responsibility of DTC, and the disbursement of such payments to Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of DTC Participants or Indirect Participants, as more fully described herein. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Trust Indenture dated as of the date of delivery of the Bonds (the “Indenture”), between Central Arkansas Water, a public body corporate and politic of the State of Arkansas (the “Issuer”), and the Trustee, payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds is secured by a pledge of the Stabilized Net Revenues (as defined herein) of the consolidated water system of the Cities of Little Rock and North Little Rock, Arkansas (the “Water System”). The pledge of Stabilized Net Revenues securing the Bonds is made on a parity basis with the pledge thereof securing the Issuer’s Refunding Water Revenue Bond, Series 2010A (the “Series 2010A Bond”); Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2010C (Watershed Protection Project) (the “Series 2010C Bonds”); Water Revenue Bond, Series 2011A (Wye Mountain Extension Project) (the “Series 2011A Bond”); Capital Improvement Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2012A (the “Series 2012A Bonds”); Refunding Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2014 (the “Series 2014 Bonds”); Refunding Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2016 (that portion remaining after the partial refunding by the Bonds) (the “Series 2016 Bonds”); the 1.5% Water Revenue Bond (Wilson Pump Station Project), Series 2017A (the “Series 2017A Bond”); Water Revenue Bond, Series 2018B (the “Series 2018B Bonds”); Water Revenue Bond (Ozark Point Water Treatment Plant Project), Series 2019A (the “Series 2019A Bond”); and any subsequently issued Parity Debt (as defined herein) including, the Issuer’s proposed Capital Improvement and Refunding Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2020B, of even date with the Bonds in the original principal amount of $12,920,000 (the “Series 2020B Bonds”); and the Issuer’s proposed Refunding Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2020C (Green Bonds), of even date herewith in the original principal amount of $31,825,000 (the “Series 2020C Bonds”). The pledge of Stabilized Net Revenues securing the Bonds is senior to the pledge in favor of the Issuer’s Acquisition and Construction Water Revenue Bonds (Maumelle Water System Acquisition Project), Series 2016 (the “Subordinate 2016 Bonds”) and the Issuer’s Water Revenue Bond (Paron-Owensville Water Authority (POWA) Project), Series, 2020A (the “Subordinate 2020A Bonds”). The Water System is owned and operated by the Issuer. The Issuer has covenanted in the Indenture to establish and maintain rates for Water System services which shall yield Stabilized Net Revenues in each forthcoming fiscal year at least equal to the sum of (i) 120% of the aggregate debt service due on the Parity Debt, the Bonds, and any other Parity Debt during the forthcoming fiscal year, and (ii) 100% of the amounts, if any, required to be deposited in any debt service reserve fund or account securing the Series 2010A Bond, the Series 2010C Bonds, the Series 2011A Bond, the Series 2012A Bonds, the Series 2014 Bonds, the Series 2016 Bonds, the Series 2017A Bond, the Series 2018B Bonds, the Series 2019A Bonds, the Series 2020B Bonds, the Series 2020C Bonds, the Bonds, or any additional Parity Debt during the forthcoming fiscal year. See the caption “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS” herein. The Bonds are subject to optional redemption prior to maturity as more fully described under the caption “THE BONDS—Redemption” herein. The Bonds are special obligations of the Issuer secured by and payable solely from the Stabilized Net Revenues of the Water System and other amounts available under the Indenture. The Bonds do not constitute an indebtedness of the Issuer, the City of Little Rock, the City of North Little Rock, or the State of Arkansas within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction. The issuance of the Bonds shall not directly, indirectly, or contingently obligate the City of Little Rock, the City of North Little Rock, or the State of Arkansas to levy or pledge any taxes whatsoever or to make any appropriation for the payment of the Bonds. The Issuer has no power of taxation. See inside front cover for maturity schedule. The Bonds are offered for sale when, as, and if issued and received by SAMCO Capital Markets, the Underwriter, subject to review by Stephens Inc., Municipal Advisor, and to the final approving opinion of Wright, Lindsey & Jennings LLP, Little Rock, Arkansas, Bond Counsel, and to certain other conditions referenced to in the Official Notice of Sale.

Most of the Ouachita Trail is a scenic, rocky, single-track foot path. The trail is permanently marked with blue blazes. Turns are marked with two blue blazes.

    60090 Cover_46702 Cover 8/5/13 12:27 PM Page 1 Pro Produced in conjunction with TOURS The Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau of Base maps courtesy of Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department LITTLE ROCK 60090 Text_46702 Text 8/5/13 12:29 PM Page A1 TOURS OF LITTLE ROCK PREFACE I grew up on the car line in the Pulaski Heights area of Little Rock. From our house at 3415 Kavanaugh, my brother and I watched the streetcar turn around on “I” Street, if it was not scheduled to continue northwest on the gravel roadbed which began a few blocks from our house. I have seen a lot of changes in 70 years and it is difficult to see all of Little Rock without a guide. This guidebook is my offer to show you around Little Rock. The old street car line climbed 200 feet from downtown Little Rock to the Heights and in doing so, left the Delta and started up the mountains. Spring comes several days earlier in downtown Little Rock than it does in the Heights, and fall comes earlier in the Heights than it does in downtown. The Arkansas River carves a gateway between the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains to the Delta at Little Rock. The terrain drops only 200 feet from Little Rock to the Gulf of Mexico in the south and rises over 2,000 feet in the Ouachitas and Ozarks to the north and west. This varied ter- rain has a lot of sights and action. Little Rock is a paradise for sightseers, hikers, antiquers, histori- ans, sports, food lovers, and all the rest.
