(3) To the payment of the amounts required to be deposited in the Reserve Fund to establish and maintain the Required Reserve in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance or any other ordinance relating to issuance of Bonds Similarly Secured. Any Net Revenues remaining in the System Fund after satisfying the foregoing payments, or making adequate and sufficient provision for the payment thereof, may be appropriated and used for any other City purpose now or hereafter permitted by law. SECTION 13. Bond Fund. For purposes of providing funds to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same becomes due and payable, the City agrees to maintain a separate and special account or fund on the books and records of the City known as the "City of Allen Interest and Sinking Revenue Bond Fund" (the "Bond Fund'), and all monies deposited to the credit of such Fund shall be held in a special banking fund or account maintained at an official depository of the City. In addition to the deposits to the Bond Fund for the payment of the Previously Issued Bonds, the City covenants that there shall be deposited into the Bond Fund prior to each principal and interest payment date from the Net Revenues an amount equal to one hundred per centum (100%) of the interest on and the principal of the Bonds then falling due and payable by reason of maturity or redemption, and such deposits to pay principal and accrued ' interest on the Bonds shall be made in substantially equal monthly installments on or before the 25th day of each month, beginning on or before the 25th day of the month next following the delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser. 850 W9Mo9 63 18 The required monthly deposits to the Bond Fund for the payment of principal of and ' interest on the Bonds shall continue to be made as hereinabove provided until (i) the total amount on deposit in the Bond Fund and Reserve Fund is equal to the amount required to fully pay and discharge all Outstanding Bonds Similarly Secured (principal and interest) or (ii) the Bonds are no longer Outstanding.

SECTION 14. Reserve Fund. For purposes of accumulating and maintaining funds as a reserve for the payment of the Bonds Similarly Secured, the City reaffirms its covenant with the owners of the Previously Issued Bonds and agrees with the Holders of the Bonds to maintain a separate and special fund or account at a depository of city fonds to be known as the "City of Allen Revenue Bond Reserve Fond" (the "Reserve Fund"), and all funds deposited therein (excluding earnings and income derived or received from deposits or investments which may be transferred to the System Fund established in Section 12 hereof during such periods as there is on deposit in the Reserve Fund the Required Reserve) shall be used solely for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds Similarly Secured when (whether at maturity, upon a mandatory redemption date or any interest payment date) other funds available for such purposes ' are insufficient, and, in addition, may be used to the extent not required to maintain the "Required Reserve", to pay, or provide for the payment of, the final principal amount of a series of Bonds Similarly Secured so that such series of Bonds Similarly Secured is no longer deemed to be "Outstanding" as such term is defined herein. In accordance with the provisions of the ordinances authorizing the issuance of the Previously Issued Bonds, the amount currently on deposit to the credit of the Reserve Fund is an amount equal to $1,404,564 (the "Current Reserve"). By reason of the issuance of the Bonds, the total amount required to be accumulated and maintained in said Fund is hereby determined to be $1,165,725 (the "Required Reserve") which amount equals the Average Annual Debt Service for the Bonds and the Previously Issued Bonds (calculated on a Fiscal Year basis as of the date the Bonds are to be delivered). No additional deposits shall be required to be made to the Reserve Fund by reason of the issuance of the Bonds since the Required Reserve is less than the Current Reserve. When and so long as the cash and investments in the Reserve Fond total not less than the Required Reserve, no deposits need be made to the credit of the Reserve Fund; but, if and when the Reserve Fund at any time contains less than the Required Reserve (other than as the result of the issuance of Additional Parity Bonds as provided in the paragraph below), the City covenants and agrees to cure the deficiency in the Required Reserve by making monthly deposits to said Fond from the Net Revenues of the System; such monthly deposits to be in amounts equal to not less than 1/60th of the then total Required Reserve to be maintained in said Fond and to be made t on or before the 25th day of each month until the total Required Reserve then to be maintained in said Fund has been fully restored. The City further covenants and agrees that, subject only to the payments to be made to the Bond Fond, the Net Revenues shall be applied and appropriated and 85009609 V IWW96r 19 ' used to establish and maintain the Required Reserve and to cure any deficiency in such amounts as required by the terms of this Ordinance and any other ordinance pertaining to the issuance of Additional Parity Bonds. As and when Additional Parity Bonds are delivered or incurred, the Required Reserve shall be increased, if required, to an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Average Annual Debt Service (calculated on a Fiscal Year basis) for all Bonds Similarly Secured then Outstanding, as determined on the date each series of Additional Parity Bonds are delivered or incurred, as the case may be, or (ii) the maximum amount in a reasonably required reserve fund that can be invested without restriction as to yield pursuant to subsection (d) of section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder. Any additional amount required to be maintained in the Reserve Fund shall be so accumulated by the deposit in the Reserve Fond of all or any part thereof in cash immediately after the delivery of the then proposed Additional Parity Bonds, or, at the option of the City, by the deposit of monthly installments, made on or before the 25th day of each month following the month of delivery of the then proposed Additional Parity Bonds, of not less than 1/60th of the additional amount to be maintained in said Fund by reason of the issuance of the Additional Parity Bonds then being issued (or 1/60th of the balance of the additional amount not deposited immediately in cash). During such time as the Reserve Fund contains the total Required Reserve, the City may, at its option, withdraw all surplus in the Reserve Fond in excess of the Required Reserve and deposit such surplus in the System Fund. ' Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Series 1999 Bonds and the Series 2004 Bonds are either paid or deemed to have been paid in accordance with the provisions of the ordinances authorizing their issuance, the City retains the right to fund the Required Reserve in whole or in part with a surety bond or insurance policy issued by an insurance company or other entity that is rated either for the long term unsecured debt of the issuer of such surety bond or for obligations insured, secured or guaranteed by such issuer have a rating in the highest letter category by two nationally recognized municipal securities rating or evaluation services, and money deposited to the credit of the Reserve Fond may be used to make any payments required to satisfy the City's repayment obligation to the issuer of such surety bond or insurance policy in the same manner and with like effect as if such payments were being used to accumulate, maintain or restore the Required Reserve in cash or with authorized investments. SECTION 15. Deficiencies. If on any occasion there shall not be sufficient Net Revenues of the System to make the required deposits into the Bond Fond and the Reserve Fund, then such deficiency shall be cured as soon as possible from the next available Net Revenues of the System, or from any other sources available for such purpose. SECTION 16. Payment of Bonds. While any of the Bonds are Outstanding, the Finance Director (or other designated financial officer of the City) shall cause to be transferred to the Paying Agent/Registrar, from funds on deposit in the Bond Fund, and, if necessary, in the Reserve Fund, amounts sufficient to fully pay and discharge promptly as each installment of ' interest and principal of the Bonds accrues or matures or comes due by reason of redemption prior to maturity; such transfer of funds to be made in such manner as will cause immediately 85oaWo VICM)863 20 available funds to be deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds at the close of the ' business day next preceding the date of payment for the Bonds. SECTION 17. Investments - Security of Funds. (a) Money in any Fund established pursuant to this Ordinance may, at the option of the City, be placed in time deposits or certificates of deposit secured (to the extent not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) by obligations of the type hereinafter described, or be invested, including investments held in book -entry form, in direct obligations of the United States of America and obligations guaranteed or insured by the United States of America, which, in the opinion of the Attorney General of the United States, are backed by its full faith and credit or represent its general obligations; provided that all such deposits and investments shall be made in such a manner that the money required to be expended from any Fund will be available at the proper time or times and provided further the maximum stated maturity for any investment acquired with money in the Reserve Fond shall be limited to five (5) years from the date of the investment of such money. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if all of the Series 1999 Bonds and the Series 2004 Bonds are either paid or deemed to have been paid in accordance with the provisions of the ordinances authorizing their issuance, money in any Fund established pursuant to this Ordinance may, at the option of the City, be invested in eligible investments described in the Texas Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code, consistent with the investment policy approved by the City Council. Such investments as described in this Section (except State and Local Government Series investments held in book -entry form, which shall at all times be valued at cost) shall be valued in terms of current market value within 45 ' days of the close of each Fiscal Year and, with respect to investments held for the account of the Reserve Fund, within 30 days of the date of passage of each ordinance authorizing the issuance of Additional Parity Bonds. All interest and income derived from deposits and investments in the Bond Fund immediately shall be credited to, and any losses debited to, the Bond Fund. All interest and interest income derived from deposits in and investments of the Reserve Fund shall, subject to the limitations provided in Section 14 hereof, be credited to and deposited in the System Fund. All such investments shall be sold promptly when necessary to prevent any default in connection with the Bonds. (b) Money in all Funds created by this Ordinance, to the extent not invested, shall be secured in the manner and to the fullest extent required by the laws of the State of Texas for the security of public funds. SECTION 18. Issuance of Additional Parity Oblieations. Subject to the provisions hereinafter appearing as to conditions precedent which must be satisfied, the City reserves the right to issue, from time to time as needed, Additional Parity Bonds for any lawful purpose. Such Additional Parity Bonds may be issued in such form and manner as now or hereafter authorized by the laws of the State of Texas for the issuance of evidences of indebtedness or other instruments, and should new methods or financing techniques be developed that differ from those now available and in normal use, the City reserves the right to employ the same in its financing arrangements provided only that the following conditions precedent for the authorization and issuance of the same are satisfied, to wit: ' (1) The Finance Director of the City (or other officer of the City then having the primary responsibility for the financial affairs of the City) shall have executed a certificate 85009609 2//0900863 21 stating (a) that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, the City is not then in default as to any ' covenant, obligation or agreement contained in any ordinance or other proceeding relating to any obligations of the City payable from and secured by a lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System that would materially affect the security or payment of such obligations and (b) either (i) payments into all special funds or accounts created and established for the payment and security of all outstanding obligations payable from and secured by a lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System have been made and that the amounts on deposit in such special fonds or accounts are the amounts then required to be on deposit therein or (ii) the application of the proceeds of sale of such obligations then being issued will cure any such deficiency. (2) The Additional Parity Bonds shall be scheduled to mature or be payable as to principal on June 1 or December 1 (or both) in each year the same are to be outstanding or during the tern thereof. (3) The City has secured a certificate or opinion of a Certified Public Accountant (the "Accountant") to the effect that, according to the books and records of the City, the Net Earnings for the last completed Fiscal Year, or for 12 consecutive months out of the 15 months, immediately preceding the month the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the Additional Parity Bonds is adopted are at least equal to 1.20 times the Average Annual Debt Service for all Outstanding Bonds Similarly Secured after giving effect to the issuance of the Additional Parity Bonds then being issued. In making a determination of the Net Earnings, the Accountant may take into consideration a change in the rates and charges for services and facilities afforded by the System that became effective at least sixty (60) days prior to the last day of the period for which Net Earnings are determined and, for purposes of satisfying the above Net Earnings test, make a pro forma determination of the Net Earnings of the System for the period of time covered by his certification or opinion based on such change in rates and charges being in effect for the entire period covered by the Accountant's certificate or opinion. As used in this Section, the term "Net Earnings" shall mean the Gross Revenues of the System after deducting the Operating and Maintenance Expenses of the System, but not depreciation charges or other expenditures which, under generally accepted accounting principles, should be treated as capital expenditures.

SECTION 20. Obligations of Inferior Lien and Pledge. The City hereby reserves the ' right to issue obligations payable from and secured by a lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System, junior and subordinate in rank and dignity to the lien and pledge securing the payment of the Bonds Similarly Secured, as may be authorized by the laws of the State of Texas. 850a46a9 WIMOM3 22 SECTION 21.

(b) The foregoing notwithstanding, but subject to any similar covenant made in an ordinance authorizing Previously Issued Bonds, the City may self -insure against risks, accidents or casualties. SECTION 23. Sale or Lease of Properties. The City, to the extent and in the manner authorized by law, may sell or exchange for consideration representing the fair value thereof, as determined by the City Council of the City, any property not necessary or required in the efficient operations of the System, or any equipment not necessary or useful in the operations thereof or which is obsolete, damaged or wom out or otherwise unsuitable for use in the operation of the System.

All capitalized undefined terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement. ' In connection with this opinion letter, we have considered such matters of law and of fact, and have relied upon such certifications and other information furnished to us, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for our opinion set forth below. We are not expressing any opinion or views herein on the authorization, issuance, delivery, validity of the Bonds and we have assumed, but not independently verified, that the signatures on all documents and Bonds that we have examined are genuine. Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under existing laws, the Bonds are not subjectto the registration requirements ofthe Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Ordinance is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement as your counsel was not to establish factual matters, and because of the wholly or partially nonlegal character of many of the determinations involved in the preparation of the Official Statement dated February . 2009 (the "Official Statement') and because the information in the Official Statement included under the headings "THE BONDS - Book -Entry -Only System," "TAX MATTERS," and "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE INFORMATION — Compliance with Prior Undertakings," and the Appendices thereto were prepared by others who have been engaged to review or provide such information, we are not passing on and do not assume any responsibility for the information contained under such headings and in the appendices, and except as set forth in the last sentence of this paragraph, we are not passing on and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of ' other statements contained in the Official Statement (including any appendices, schedules and A-1 ' exhibits thereto) and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements. In the course of our participation in the preparation of the Official Statement as your counsel, we had discussions with representatives of the Issuer, including its Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel, regarding the contents ofthe Official Statement. In the course of such activities, no facts came to our attention which would lead us to believe that the Official Statement (except for the financial statements and other financial and statistical data contained therein, the information set forth under the headings "THE BONDS - Book -Entry -Only System,' "TAX MATTERS," and "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE INFORMATION—Compliance with Prior Undertakings " and the Appendices thereto, as to which we express no opinion), as of its date contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 1 1 This opinion letter may be relied upon by only you and only in connection with the transaction to which reference is made above and may not be used or relied upon by any other person for any purposes whatsoever without our prior written consent.
