of America, which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private
debts, and shall be without exchange or collection charges to the Holders.
The selection and appointment of the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds shall be as
provided in the Pricing Certificate. Books and records relating to the registration, payment,
exchange and transfer of the Bonds (the "Security Register") shall at all times be kept and
maintained on behalf of the City by the Paying Agent/Registrar, all as provided herein, in
accordance with the terms and provisions of a "Paying Agent/Registrar Agreement,"
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and such reasonable rules and
regulations as the Paying Agent/Registrar and the City may prescribe. The Pricing Officer is
hereby authorized to execute and deliver such Agreement in connection with the delivery of the
Bonds. The City covenants to maintain and provide a Paying Agent/Registrar at all times until
the Bonds are paid and discharged, and any successor Paying Agent/Registrar shall be a
commercial bank, trust company, financial institution, or other entity qualified and authorized to
serve in such capacity and perform the duties and services of Paying Agent/Registrar. Upon
any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds, the City agrees to promptly cause a
written notice thereof to be sent to each Holder by United States Mail, first class postage
prepaid, which notice shall also give the address of the new Paying Agent/Registrar.
The Bonds shall be payable at their Stated Maturities or upon their earlier redemption,
only upon the presentation and surrender of the Bonds to the Paying Agent/Registrar at its
designated offices as provided in the Pricing Certificate (the "Designated Payment/Transfer
Office") provided, however, while a Bond is registered to Cede & Co., the payment of principal

Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday, or a day on which banking institutions in the city where the
Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized by
law or executive order to be closed, then the date for such payment shall be the next
succeeding day which is not such a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which banking
institutions are authorized to be closed; and payment on such date shall have the same force
and effect as if made on the original date payment was due.
74216725.1/1001065798 3
In the event of a non-payment of interest on one or more maturities of the Bonds on a
scheduled payment date, and for thirty (30) days thereafter, a new record date for such interest
payment (a "Special Record Date") will be established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and
when funds for the payment of such past due interest have been received from the City. Notice
of the Special Record Date and of the scheduled payment date of the past due interest (which
shall be fifteen (15) days after the Special Record Date) shall be sent at least five (5) business
days prior to the Special Record Date by United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the
address of each Holder of the Bonds appearing on the Security Register at the close of
business on the last business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice.
SECTION 5: Registration - Transfer - Exchange of Bonds - Predecessor Bonds. The
Paying Agent/Registrar shall obtain, record, and maintain in the Security Register the name and
address of each and every Holder of the Bonds issued under and pursuant to the provisions of
this Ordinance, or if appropriate, the nominee thereof. Any Bond may be transferred or
exchanged for Bonds of like maturity, and amount and in authorized denominations upon the
Security Register by the Holder, in person or by his duly authorized agent, upon surrender of
such Bond to the Paying Agent/Registrar at its Designated Payment/Transfer Office for
cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer or request for exchange duly
executed by the Holder or by his duly authorized agent, in form satisfactory to the Paying
Agent/Registrar.
Upon surrender for assignment or transfer of any Bond (other than the Initial Bond(s)
authorized in Section 8 hereof) for transfer at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the
Paying Agent/Registrar, one or more new Bonds, executed on behalf of and furnished by the
City, shall be registered and issued to the assignee or transferee of the previous Holder; such
Bonds to be of authorized denominations, of like Stated Maturity, and of a like aggregate
principal amount as the Bond or Bonds surrendered for transfer.
At the option of the Holder, Bonds (other than the Initial Bond(s) authorized in Section 8
hereof) may be exchanged for other Bonds of authorized denominations and having the same
Stated Maturity, bearing the same rate of interest and of like aggregate principal amount as the
Bonds surrendered for exchange, upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at the
Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar. Whenever any Bonds are
surrendered for exchange, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall register and deliver new Bonds,
executed on behalf of and furnished by the City, to the Holder requesting the exchange.
All Bonds issued upon any such transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be delivered to the
Holders at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar or sent by
United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holders, and, upon the registration and
delivery thereof, the same shall be the valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same
obligation to pay and entitled to the same benefits under this Ordinance, as the Bonds
surrendered in such transfer or exchange.
All transfers or exchanges of Bonds pursuant to this Section shall be made without
expense or service charge to the Holder, except as otherwise herein provided, and except that
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall require payment by the Holder requesting such transfer or
exchange of any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such
transfer or exchange.
Bonds canceled by reason of an exchange or transfer pursuant to the provisions hereof
are hereby defined to be "Predecessor Bonds," evidencing all or a portion, as the case may be,
74216725.1/1001065798 4
of the same obligation to pay evidenced by the new Bond or Bonds registered and delivered in
the exchange or transfer therefor. Additionally, the term "Predecessor Bonds" shall include any
mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Bond for which a replacement Bond has been issued,
registered, and delivered in lieu thereof pursuant to the provisions of Section 30 hereof, and
such new replacement Bond shall be deemed to evidence the same obligation as the mutilated,
lost, destroyed, or stolen Bond.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to transfer or exchange
any Bond called for redemption, in whole or in part, within forty-five (45) days of the date fixed
for the redemption of such Bond; provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not
be applicable to an exchange by the Holder of the unredeemed balance of a Bond called for
redemption in part.
SECTION 6: Book-Entry-Only Transfers and Transactions. Notwithstanding the
provisions contained in Sections 4 and 5 hereof relating to the payment and transfer/exchange
of the Bonds, the City hereby approves and authorizes the use of "Book-Entry-Only" securities
clearance, settlement, and transfer system provided by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"),
a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, in
accordance with the requirements and procedures identified in the current DTC Operational
Arrangements memorandum, as amended, the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representation, by and
between the City and DTC, and the Letter of Representation from the Paying Agent/Registrar to
DTC (collectively, the "Depository Agreement") relating to the Bonds.
Pursuant to the Depository Agreement and the rules of DTC, the Bonds shall be
deposited with DTC who shall hold said Bonds for its participants (the "DTC Participants").
While the Bonds are held by DTC under the Depository Agreement, the Holder of the Bonds on
the Security Register for all purposes, including payment and notices, shall be Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, notwithstanding the ownership of each actual purchaser or owner of each
Bond (the "Beneficial Owners") being recorded in the records of DTC and DTC Participants.
In the event DTC determines to discontinue serving as securities depository for the
Bonds or otherwise ceases to provide book-entry clearance and settlement of securities
transactions in general or the City determines that DTC is incapable of properly discharging its
duties as securities depository for the Bonds, the City covenants and agrees with the Holders of
the Bonds to cause Bonds to be printed in definitive form and provide for the Bond certificates to
be issued and delivered to DTC Participants and Beneficial Owners, as the case may be.
Thereafter, the Bonds in definitive form shall be assigned, transferred and exchanged on the
Security Register maintained by the Paying Agent/Registrar, and payment of such Bonds shall
be made in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 hereof.
SECTION 7: Execution - Registration. The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the
City by the Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem under the City's seal reproduced or impressed thereon and
countersigned by the City Secretary. The signature of said officials on the Bonds may be
manual or facsimile. Bonds bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who are or
were the proper officials of the City on the date of the adoption of this Ordinance shall be
deemed to be duly executed on behalf of the City, notwithstanding that such individuals or either
of them shall cease to hold such offices at the time of delivery of the Bonds to the initial
purchaser(s) and with respect to Bonds delivered in subsequent exchanges and transfers, all as
authorized and provided in Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code, as amended.
74216725.1/1001065798 5
No Bond shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this Ordinance, or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Bond either a certificate of registration
substantially in the form provided in Section 9(c), manually executed by the Comptroller of
Public Accounts of the State of Texas, or his or her duly authorized agent, or a certificate of
registration substantially in the form provided in Section 9(d), manually executed by an
authorized officer, employee or representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and either such
certificate duly signed upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Bond has been duly certified, registered, and delivered.
SECTION 8: Initial Bond(s). The Bonds herein authorized shall be initially issued either
(i) as a single fully registered bond in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds with
principal installments to become due and payable as provided in the Pricing Certificate and
numbered T-1, or (ii) as multiple fully registered bonds, being one bond for each year of maturity
in the applicable principal amount and denomination and to be numbered consecutively from
T-1 and upward (hereinafter called the "Initial Bond(s)") and, in either case, the Initial Bond(s)
shall be registered in the name of the initial purchaser(s) or the designee thereof. The Initial
Bond(s) shall be the Bonds submitted to the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Texas
for approval, certified and registered by the Office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the
State of Texas, and delivered to the initial purchaser(s). Any time after the delivery of the Initial
Bond(s), the Paying Agent/Registrar, pursuant to written instructions from the initial
purchaser(s), or the designee thereof, shall cancel the Initial Bond(s) delivered hereunder and
exchange therefor definitive Bonds of authorized denominations, Stated Maturities, principal
amounts and bearing applicable interest rates for transfer and delivery to the Holders named at
the addresses identified therefor; all pursuant to and in accordance with such written
instructions from the initial purchaser(s), or the designee thereof, and such other information
and documentation as the Paying Agent/Registrar may reasonably require.
SECTION 9: Forms.
(a) Forms Generally. The Bonds, the Registration Certificate of the Comptroller of
Public Accounts of the State of Texas, the Registration Certificate of Paying Agent/Registrar,
and the form of Assignment to be printed on each of the Bonds, shall be substantially in the
forms set forth in this Section with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, and
other variations as are permitted or required by this Ordinance and, with the Bonds to be
completed and modified with the information set forth in the Pricing Certificate, may have such
letters, numbers, or other marks of identification (including identifying numbers and letters of the

Bonds and any reproduction of an opinion of counsel) thereon as may, consistently herewith, be
established by the City or determined by the Pricing Officer. The Pricing Certificate shall set
forth the final and controlling forms and terms of the Bonds. Any portion of the text of any
Bonds may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face
of the Bond.

the State of Texas, including Texas Government Code, Chapters 1502 and 1371, as amended,
and pursuant to an Ordinance adopted by the City Council of the City (herein referred to as the
"Ordinance").
[The Bonds maturing on the dates hereinafter identified (the "Term Bonds") are subject
to mandatory redemption prior to maturity with funds on deposit in the Bond Fund established
and maintained for the payment thereof in the Ordinance, and shall be redeemed in part prior to
maturity at the price of par and accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption, and without
premium, on the dates and in the principal amounts as follows:
Term Bonds due Term Bonds due
Redemption Date Principal Amount Redemption Date Principal Amount
The particular Term Bonds of a Stated Maturity to be redeemed on each redemption
date shall be chosen by lot by the Paying Agent/Registrar; provided, however, that the principal
amount of Term Bonds for a Stated Maturity required to be redeemed on a mandatory
redemption date may be reduced, at the option of the City, by the principal amount of Term
Bonds of like Stated Maturity which, at least fifty (50) days prior to a mandatory redemption
date, (1) shall have been acquired by the City at a price not exceeding the principal amount of
such Term Bonds plus accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to the
Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation or (2) shall have been redeemed pursuant to the
optional redemption provisions appearing below and not theretofore credited against a
mandatory redemption requirement.]
The Bonds maturing on and after , may be redeemed prior to their
Stated Maturities, at the option of the City, in whole or in part in principal amounts of $5,000 or
any integral multiple thereof (and if within a Stated Maturity by lot by the Paying
Agent/Registrar), on , or on any date thereafter, at the redemption price of
par, together with accrued interest to the date of redemption.
At least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of Bonds, the City shall
cause a written notice of such redemption to be sent by United States Mail, first class postage
prepaid, to the registered owners of each Bond to be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the
address shown on the Security Register and subject to the terms and provisions relating thereto
contained in the Ordinance. If a Bond (or any portion of its principal sum) shall have been duly
called for redemption and notice of such redemption duly given, then upon such redemption
date such Bond (or the portion of its principal sum to be redeemed) shall become due and
payable, and interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the redemption date therefor;
provided moneys for the payment of the redemption price and the interest on the principal
amount to be redeemed to the date of redemption are held for the purpose of such payment by
the Paying Agent/Registrar.
74216725.1/1001065798 8
In the event a portion of the principal amount of a Bond is to be redeemed and the
registered owner is someone other than Cede & Co., payment of the redemption price of such
principal amount shall be made to the registered owner only upon presentation and surrender of
such Bond to the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and a new
Bond or Bonds of like maturity and interest rate in any authorized denominations provided by
the Ordinance for the then unredeemed balance of the principal sum thereof will be issued to
the registered owner, without charge. If a Bond is selected for redemption, in whole or in part,
the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to transfer such Bond to an
assignee of the registered owner within forty-five (45) days of the redemption date therefor;
provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by
the registered owner of the unredeemed balance of a Bond redeemed in part.
With respect to any optional redemption of the Bonds, unless certain prerequisites to
such redemption required by the Ordinance have been met and moneys sufficient to pay the
redemption price of the Bonds to be redeemed shall have been received by the Paying
Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice may state that said
redemption is conditional upon the satisfaction of such prerequisites and receipt of such moneys
by the Paying Agent/Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for redemption. If a conditional notice
of redemption is given and such prerequisites to the redemption or sufficient moneys are not
received, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the City shall not redeem such Bonds and
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption
was given, to the effect that the Bonds have not been redeemed.
The Bonds are special obligations of the City, and, together with the outstanding
Previously Issued Bonds (identified and defined in the Ordinance), are payable solely from and
equally and ratably secured by a first lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues (as defined in the
Ordinance) of the City's combined Waterworks and Sewer System (hereinafter referred to as
the "System"). The Bonds do not constitute a legal or equitable pledge, charge, lien or
encumbrance upon any property of the City or the System, except with respect to the Net
Revenues. The holder hereof shall never have the right to demand payment of this obligation
out of any funds raised or to be raised by taxation.
Subject to satisfying the terms and conditions prescribed therefor, the City has reserved
the right to issue additional revenue obligations payable from and equally and ratably secured
by a parity lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System, in the same manner and to
the same extent as the Bonds.
Reference is hereby made to the Ordinance, a copy of which is on file in the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and to all of the provisions of which the
Holder by the acceptance hereof hereby assents, for definitions of terms; the description of and
the nature and extent of the security for the Bonds; the properties constituting the System; the
Net Revenues pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds; the nature
and extent and manner of enforcement of the lien and pledge securing the payment of the
Bonds; the terms and conditions for the issuance of additional revenue obligations; the terms
and conditions relating to the transfer or exchange of this Bond; the conditions upon which the
Ordinance may be amended or supplemented with or without the consent of the Holders; the
rights, duties, and obligations of the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar; the terms and
provisions upon which the liens, pledges, charges and covenants made therein may be
discharged at or prior to the maturity or redemption of this Bond, and this Bond deemed to be no
longer Outstanding thereunder; and for the other terms and provisions contained therein.
Capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings assigned in the Ordinance.

This Bond, subject to certain limitations contained in the Ordinance, may be transferred
on the Security Register only upon its presentation and surrender at the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, with the Assignment hereon duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Paying Agent/Registrar duly executed by, the registered owner hereof, or his duly authorized
agent. When a transfer on the Security Register occurs, one or more new fully registered Bonds
of the same Stated Maturity, of authorized denominations, bearing the same rate of interest, and
of the same aggregate principal amount will be issued by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The City and the Paying Agent/Registrar, and any agent of either, shall treat the
registered owner whose name appears on the Security Register (i) on the Record Date as the
owner entitled to payment of interest hereon, (ii) on the date of surrender of this Bond as the
owner entitled to payment of principal at the Stated Maturity, or its redemption, in whole or in
part, and (iii) on any other date as the owner for all other purposes, and neither the City nor the
Paying Agent/Registrar, or any agent of either, shall be affected by notice to the contrary. In the
event of nonpayment of interest on a Bond on a scheduled payment date and for thirty (30) days
thereafter, a new record date for such interest payment (a "Special Record Date") will be
established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when funds for the payment of such interest
have been received from the City. Notice of the Special Record Date and of the scheduled
payment date of the past due interest (which shall be fifteen (15) days after the Special Record
Date) shall be sent at least five (5) business days prior to the Special Record Date by United
States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address of each registered owner of a Bond
appearing on the Security Register at the close of business on the last business day next
preceding the date of mailing of such notice.
It is hereby certified, recited, represented and covenanted that the City is a duly
organized and legally existing municipal corporation under and by virtue of the Constitution and
laws of the State of Texas; that the issuance of the Bonds is duly authorized by law; that all
acts, conditions and things required to exist and be done precedent to and in the issuance of the

to the extent now or hereafter authorized or permitted by law, the term "System" shall not mean
to include facilities of any kind which are declared not to be a part of the System and which are
hereafter acquired or constructed by or on behalf of the City with the proceeds from the
issuance of "Special Facilities Bonds", which are hereby defined as being special revenue
obligations of the City which are not Bonds Similarly Secured but which are payable from and
secured by other liens on and pledges of any revenues, sources or payments, not pledged to

revenues or payments received from any other legal entity in connection with such facilities.
SECTION 11: Pledge. The City hereby covenants and agrees that the Net Revenues of
the System, with the exception of those in excess of the amounts required for the payment and
security of the Bonds Similarly Secured, are hereby irrevocably pledged, to the payment and
security of the Previously Issued Bonds, the Bonds and Additional Parity Bonds, if issued,
including the establishment and maintenance of the special funds created and established by
this Ordinance, all as hereinafter provided, and it is hereby ordained that the lien on and pledge
of the Net Revenues securing the payment of the Bonds Similarly Secured and interest thereon
shall constitute a first lien on the Net Revenues of the System and be valid and binding and fully

Chapter 1208 applies to the issuance of the Bonds and the pledge of the Net Revenues
granted by the City under this Section 11, and such pledge is therefore valid, effective and
perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the Bonds are Outstanding such that the
pledge of the Net Revenues granted by the City under this Section 11 is to be subject to the
filing requirements of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code, as amended, then in order to
preserve to the registered owners of the Bonds the perfection of the security interest in said
pledge, the City agrees to take such measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary
under Texas law to comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce
Code, as amended, and enable a filing to perfect the security interest in said pledge to occur.

74216725.1/1001065798 16
SECTION 12: System Fund. The City hereby covenants and agrees that Gross
Revenues of the System (excluding earnings and income derived from investments held in the
Bond Fund and Reserve Fund) shall be deposited as collected to the credit of a fund maintained
at an official depository of City funds and known on the books and records of the City as the
"Waterworks and Sewer System Fund" (herein called the "System Fund"), and such revenues of
the System shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the City. All revenues
deposited in the System Fund shall be pledged and appropriated to the extent required for the
following uses and in the order of priority shown:
(1) To the payment of all necessary and reasonable Operating and
Maintenance Expenses of the System as defined herein or required by statute to
be a first charge on and claim against the Gross Revenues thereof.
(2) To the payment of the amounts required to be deposited in the
Bond Fund for the payment of Debt Service on the Bonds Similarly Secured as
the same becomes due and payable.
(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.
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.
Accrued interest and premium, if any, received from the purchaser(s) of the Bonds, as
well as earnings derived from the investment of moneys in the Bond Fund, shall be deposited to
the credit of the Bond Fund and taken into consideration and reduce the amount of the monthly
deposits hereinabove required to be deposited in the Bond Fund from the Net Revenues of the
System.
74216725.1/1001065798 17
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 funds to be known as the "City of
Allen Revenue Bond Reserve Fund" (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.
The amount currently on deposit to the credit of the Reserve Fund in accordance with
the provisions of the ordinances authorizing the issuance of the Previously Issued Bonds will be
stated in the Pricing Certificate (the "Current Reserve"). By reason of the issuance of the
Bonds, the total amount required to be accumulated and maintained in said Fund shall be
determined by the Pricing Officer and specified in the Pricing Certificate (the "Required
Reserve") which amount shall be equal or exceed 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). Beginning on the 25th day of the month following the delivery of
the Bonds and on or before the 25th day of each month thereafter, the City agrees and
covenants to make monthly deposits to the credit of the Reserve Fund from the Net Revenues
of the System equal to not less than 1/60th of the difference between the Required Reserve and
the Current Reserve, if required.
When and so long as the cash and investments in the Reserve Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund and to be made 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 Fund, the Net Revenues
shall be applied and appropriated and 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 Fund of all or any part thereof in cash immediately after the delivery of the then
74216725.1/1001065798 18
proposed Additional Parity Bonds, or, at the option of the City, by the deposit of monthly
111 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 Fund in excess of the Required Reserve
and deposit such surplus in the System Fund.
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 Fund 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.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, when all Previously Issued Bonds with a
dated date prior to July 15, 2018 are either paid or deemed to have been paid in accordance
with the provisions of the ordinance 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 two letter categories (i.e., AA- or equivalent or higher) by one
nationally recognized municipal securities rating or evaluation services.
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 Fund 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 Chief
Financial Officer (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
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. Money in any Fund referenced in this
Ordinance may, at the option of the City, be invested in eligible investments described in the
Texas Public Funds Investment Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 2256, 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
74216725.1/1001065798 19
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.
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 Bonds. 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 Chief Financial Officer 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 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 funds
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 term 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
74216725.1/1001065798 20
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 19: Refunding Bonds. The City reserves the right to issue refunding bonds to
refund all or any part of the Bonds Similarly Secured (pursuant to any law then available) upon
such terms and conditions as the City Council of the City may deem to be in the best interest of
the City and its inhabitants, and if less than all such Bonds Similarly Secured then outstanding
are refunded, the conditions precedent prescribed (for the issuance of Additional Parity Bonds)
set forth in subparagraph (3) of Section 18 hereof shall be satisfied and the Accountant's
certificate or opinion required in subparagraph (3) shall give effect to the Debt Service of the
proposed refunding bonds (and shall not give effect to the Debt Service of the Bonds Similarly
Secured being refunded following their cancellation or provision being made for their payment).
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.
SECTION 21: Rates and Charges. For the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds and in
addition to all provisions and covenants in the laws of the State of Texas and in this Ordinance,
the City hereby expressly stipulates and agrees, while any of the Bonds are Outstanding, to
establish and maintain rates and charges for facilities and services afforded by the System that
are reasonably expected, on the basis of available information and experience and with due
allowance for contingencies, to produce Gross Revenues in each Fiscal Year sufficient:
(1) To pay Operating and Maintenance Expenses;
(2) To produce Net Revenues sufficient to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds Similarly Secured and the amounts required to be
deposited in any reserve or contingency fund created for the payment and
security of the Bonds Similarly Secured, and other obligations or evidences of
indebtedness issued or incurred that are payable only from and secured solely by
a lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System;
(3) To produce Net Revenues equal to at least 1.20 times the annual
Debt Service for the Fiscal Year on the Outstanding Bonds Similarly Secured;
and
(4) To pay all other indebtedness payable from the Net Revenues
and/or secured by a lien on the properties or the revenues of the System.
74216725.1/1001065798 21
SECTION 22: Maintenance and Operation - Insurance. (a) The City shall maintain the
System in good condition and operate the System in an efficient manner and at reasonable
cost. While any Bonds are Outstanding, the City agrees to maintain casualty and other
insurance on the System of a kind and in an amount customarily carried by municipal
corporations owning and operating similar properties. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be
construed as requiring the City to expend any funds derived from sources other than the
operation of the System, but nothing herein shall be construed as preventing the City from doing
so.
(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 24: Records and Accounts. The City hereby covenants and agrees that so

Code, Chapter 1502, as amended, or other applicable law. The Holders of any Bonds or any
duly authorized agent or agents of such Holders shall have the right at all reasonable times to
inspect such records, accounts and data relating thereto, and to inspect the System and all
properties comprising same. The City further agrees that following the close of each Fiscal
Year, it will cause an audit of such books and accounts to be made by an independent firm of

(1) A statement of the income and expenses of the System for such

(2) A balance sheet for the System as of the end of such Fiscal Year.
(3) A statement describing the sources and application of funds of the
System for such Fiscal Year.

(6) Expenses incurred in making an annual audit of the operations of
the System are to be regarded as Operating and Maintenance Expenses.
Copies of each annual audit shall be furnished to the Executive Director of the
Municipal Advisory Council of Texas at his office in Austin, Texas, and, upon
request, to the initial purchasers of the Bonds and subsequent Holders of any of
said Bonds. The audits herein required shall be made within 180 days following
the close of each Fiscal Year insofar as is possible.
SECTION 25: Special Covenants. The City further covenants and agrees by and
through this Ordinance as follows:
(1) It has the lawful power to pledge the Net Revenues of the System
to the payment of the Bonds to the extent provided herein and has lawfully
exercised said power under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and
that the Previously Issued Bonds, the Bonds issued hereunder, together with the
Additional Parity Bonds, shall be equally and ratably secured in such manner that
no one bond shall have preference over any other bond of said issues.
(2) The Net Revenues of the System have not been in any manner
pledged or encumbered to the payment of any debt or obligation of the City or
the System, save and except for the Previously Issued Bonds and the Bonds.
(3) No free services of the System shall be allowed, and should the
City or any of its agents or instrumentalities make use of the services and
facilities of the System, payment of the reasonable value thereof shall be made
by the City out of funds from sources other than the revenues and income of the
System.
(4) To the extent that it legally may and while any of the Bonds are
Outstanding, no franchise shall be granted for the installation or operation of any
competing waterworks or sewer system facilities.
(5) The City will comply with all of the terms and conditions of any and
all franchises, permits and authorizations applicable to or necessary with respect
to the ownership and operation of municipal facilities for the supply and
distribution of potable water and the collection, treatment and disposal of
water-carried wastes, and which have been obtained from any governmental
agency; and the City has or will obtain and keep in full force and effect all
franchises, permits, authorizations and other requirements applicable to or
necessary with respect to the acquisition, construction, equipment, operation and
maintenance of such properties and facilities.
SECTION 26: Remedy in Event of Default. In addition to all rights and remedies
provided by the laws of the State of Texas, the City covenants and agrees particularly that in the
event the City (a) defaults in payments to be made to the Bond Fund or the Reserve Fund as
required by this Ordinance or (b) defaults in the observance or performance of any other of the
covenants, conditions or obligations set forth in this Ordinance, the Holders of any of the Bonds
shall be entitled to a writ of mandamus issued by a court of proper jurisdiction, compelling and
requiring the City and its officers to observe and perform any covenant, condition or obligation
prescribed in this Ordinance. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing
upon any default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of
74216725.1/1001065798 23
any such default or acquiescence therein, and every such right and power may be exercised
from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.
The specific remedy herein provided shall be cumulative of all other existing remedies
and the specification of such remedy shall not be deemed to be exclusive.
SECTION 27: Special Obligations. The Bonds are special obligations of the City
payable from the pledged Net Revenues of the System and the Holders thereof shall never
have the right to demand payment thereof out of funds raised or to be raised by taxation.
SECTION 28: Satisfaction of Obligation of City. If the City shall pay or cause to be paid,
or there shall otherwise be paid to the Holders, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Bonds, at the times and in the manner stipulated in this Ordinance and the Pricing
Certificate, then the pledge of Net Revenues of the System under this Ordinance and all
covenants, agreements, and other obligations of the City to the Holders shall thereupon cease,
terminate, and be discharged and satisfied.
Bonds or any principal amount(s) thereof shall be deemed to have been paid within the
meaning and with the effect expressed above in this Section when (i) money sufficient to pay in
full such Bonds or the principal amount(s) thereof at maturity or to the redemption date therefor,
together with all interest due thereon, shall have been irrevocably deposited with and held in
trust by the Paying Agent/Registrar, or an authorized escrow agent, or (ii) non callable
Government Securities shall have been irrevocably deposited in trust with the Paying
Agent/Registrar, or an authorized escrow agent, which Government Securities have been
certified by an independent accounting firm to mature as to principal and interest in such
amounts and at such times as will insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient
money, together with any moneys deposited therewith, if any, to pay when due the principal of
and interest on such Bonds, or the principal amount(s) thereof, on and prior to the Stated
Maturity thereof or (if notice of redemption has been duly given or waived or if irrevocable
arrangements therefor acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar have been made) the
redemption date thereof. The City covenants that no deposit of moneys or Government
Securities will be made under this Section and no use made of any such deposit which would
cause the Bonds to be treated as "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of section 148 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or an authorized escrow
agent, and all income from Government Securities held in trust by the Paying Agent/Registrar or
an authorized escrow agent, pursuant to this Section which is not required for the payment of
the Bonds, or any principal amount(s) thereof, or interest thereon with respect to which such
moneys have been so deposited shall be remitted to the City or deposited as directed by the
City. Furthermore, any money held by the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Bonds and remaining unclaimed for a period of three (3) years
after the Stated Maturity, or applicable redemption date, of the Bonds such moneys were
deposited and are held in trust to pay shall, upon the request of the City, be remitted to the City
against a written receipt therefor. Notwithstanding the above and foregoing, any remittance of
funds from the Paying Agent/Registrar to the City shall be subject to any applicable unclaimed
property laws of the State of Texas.
74216725.1/1001065798 24
SECTION 29: Ordinance a Contract - Amendments - Outstanding Bonds. This
Ordinance shall constitute a contract with the Holders from time to time, be binding on the City,
and shall not be amended or repealed by the City so long as any Bond remains Outstanding
except as permitted in this Section and in Section 46 hereof. The City, may, without the consent
of or notice to any Holders, from time to time and at any time, amend this Ordinance or the
Pricing Certificate in any manner not detrimental to the interests of the Holders, including the
curing of any ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal defect or omission herein. In addition, the City
may, with the written consent from the owners holding a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Bonds Similarly Secured then Outstanding, amend, add to, or rescind any of the
provisions of this Ordinance; provided that, without the written consent of all Holders of
Outstanding Bonds, no such amendment, addition, or rescission shall (1) extend the time or
times of payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, reduce the
principal amount thereof, the redemption price therefor, or the rate of interest thereon, or in any
other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Bonds, (2) give any preference to any Bond over any other Bond, or (3) reduce the aggregate
principal amount of Bonds or Bonds Similarly Secured, as the case may be, required to be held
for consent to any such amendment, addition, or rescission.
SECTION 30: Mutilated — Destroyed - Lost and Stolen Bonds. In case any Bond shall
be mutilated, or destroyed, lost, or stolen, the Paying Agent/Registrar may execute and deliver a
replacement Bond of like form and tenor, and in the same denomination and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Bond; and
with respect to a lost, destroyed, or stolen Bond, a replacement Bond may be issued only upon
the approval of the City and after (i) the filing by the Holder with the Paying Agent/Registrar of
evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar of the destruction, loss, or theft of such
Bond, and of the authenticity of the ownership thereof and (ii) the furnishing to the Paying
Agent/Registrar of indemnification in an amount satisfactory to hold the City and the Paying
Agent/Registrar harmless. All expenses and charges associated with such indemnity and with
the preparation, execution and delivery of a replacement Bond shall be borne by the Holder of
the Bond mutilated, or destroyed, lost, or stolen.
Every replacement Bond issued pursuant to this Section shall be a valid and binding
obligation of the City, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and
ratably with all other Outstanding Bonds; notwithstanding the enforceability of payment by
anyone of the destroyed, lost, or stolen Bonds.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost, or stolen Bonds.
SECTION 31: Covenants to Maintain Tax-Exempt Status.
(a) Definitions. When used in this Section, the following terms have the following
meanings:
"Closing Date" means the date on which the Bonds are first authenticated
and delivered to the initial purchasers against payment therefor.
"Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended by all
legislation, if any, effective on or before the Closing Date.
74216725.1/1001065798 25
"Computation Date" has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-1(b) of the
Regulations.
"Gross Proceeds" means any proceeds as defined in Section 1.148-1(b)
of the Regulations, and any replacement proceeds as defined in Section 1.148-
1(c) of the Regulations, of the Bonds.
"Investment" has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-1(b) of the
Regulations.
"Nonpurpose Investment" means any investment property, as defined in
Section 148(b) of the Code, in which Gross Proceeds of the Bonds are invested
and which is not acquired to carry out the governmental purposes of the Bonds.
"Rebate Amount" has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-1(b) of the
Regulations.
"Regulations" means any proposed, temporary, or final Income Tax
Regulations issued pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code,
and 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, which are applicable to the
Bonds. Any reference to any specific Regulation shall also mean, as
appropriate, any proposed, temporary or final Income Tax Regulation designed
to supplement, amend or replace the specific Regulation referenced.
"Yield" of(1) any Investment has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-5
of the Regulations and (2) the Bonds has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-

(b) Not to Cause Interest to Become Taxable. The City shall not use, permit the use
of, or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any other amounts (or any property the acquisition,
construction, or improvement of which is to be financed (or refinanced) directly or indirectly with
Gross Proceeds) in a manner which if made or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest
on any Bond to become includable in the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of
the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, unless and until the City receives a written opinion of counsel nationally recognized in
the field of municipal bond law to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not
adversely affect the exemption from federal income tax of the interest on any Bond, the City
shall comply with each of the specific covenants in this Section.
(c) No Private Use or Private Payments. Except as permitted by Section 141 of the
Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall at all times prior to the last
Stated Maturity of Bonds:
(i) exclusively own, operate, and possess all property the acquisition,
construction, or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or
indirectly with Gross Proceeds of the Bonds, and not use or permit the use of
such Gross Proceeds (including all contractual arrangements with terms different
than those applicable to the general public) or any property acquired,
constructed, or improved with such Gross Proceeds in any activity carried on by
any person or entity (including the United States or any agency, department, and
74216725.1/1001065798 26
instrumentality thereof) other than a state or local government, unless such use
111 is solely as a member of the general public; and
(ii) not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other
payment by any person or entity who is treated as using Gross Proceeds of the
Bonds or any property the acquisition, construction, or improvement of which is
to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with such Gross Proceeds, other
than taxes of general application within the City or interest earned on
investments acquired with such Gross Proceeds pending application for their
intended purposes.
(d) No Private Loan. Except to the extent permitted by Section 141 of the Code and
the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not use Gross Proceeds of the Bonds to
make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For
purposes of the foregoing covenant, such Gross Proceeds are considered to be "loaned" to a
person or entity if: (1) property acquired, constructed, or improved with such Gross Proceeds is
sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction which creates a debt for federal income
tax purposes; (2) capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity
under a take-or-pay, output, or similar contract or arrangement; or (3) indirect benefits, or
burdens and benefits of ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or any property acquired,
constructed, or improved with such Gross Proceeds are otherwise transferred in a transaction
which is the economic equivalent of a loan.
(e) Not to Invest at Higher Yield. Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not at any time prior to the
final Stated Maturity of the Bonds directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds in any Investment
(or use Gross Proceeds to replace money so invested), if as a result of such investment the
Yield from the Closing Date of all Investments acquired with Gross Proceeds (or with money
replaced thereby), whether then held or previously disposed of, exceeds the Yield of the Bonds.
(f) Not Federally Guaranteed. Except to the extent permitted by Section 149(b) of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not take or omit to take any
action which would cause the Bonds to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of Section
149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(g) Information Report. The City shall timely file the information required by Section
149(e) of the Code with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038-G or such other form and
in such place as the Secretary may prescribe.
(h) Rebate of Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section
148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder:
(i) The City shall account for all Gross Proceeds (including all
receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) on its books of account
separately and apart from all other funds (and receipts, expenditures and
investments thereof) and shall retain all records of accounting for at least six (6)
years after the day on which the last outstanding Bond is discharged. However,
to the extent permitted by law, the City may commingle Gross Proceeds of the
Bonds with other money of the City, provided that the City separately accounts
for each receipt and expenditure of Gross Proceeds and the obligations acquired
therewith.
74216725.1/1001065798 27
(ii) Not less frequently than each Computation Date, the City shall
calculate the Rebate Amount in accordance with rules set forth in Section 148(f)
of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder. The City shall maintain
such calculations with its official transcript of proceedings relating to the issuance
of the Bonds until six years after the final Computation Date.
(iii) As additional consideration for the purchase of the Bonds by the
Purchasers and the loan of the money represented thereby and in order to
induce such purchase by measures designed to insure the excludability of the
interest thereon from the gross income of the Holders thereof for federal income
tax purposes, the City shall pay to the United States from an appropriate fund, or
if permitted by applicable Texas statute, regulation, or opinion of the Attorney
General of the State of Texas, the Bond Fund, the amount that when added to
the future value of previous rebate payments made for the Bonds equals (i) in the
case of a Final Computation Date as defined in Section 1.148-3(e)(2) of the
Regulations, one hundred percent (100%) of the Rebate Amount on such date;
and (ii) in the case of any other Computation Date, ninety percent (90%) of the
Rebate Amount on such date. In all cases, the rebate payments shall be made
at the times, in the installments, to the place, and in the manner as is or may be
required by Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings
thereunder, and shall be accompanied by Form 8038-T or such other forms and
information as is or may be required by Section 148(f) of the Code and the
Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(iv) The City shall exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no
errors are made in the calculations and payments required by paragraphs (ii) and
(iii), and if an error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error within a
reasonable amount of time thereafter (and in all events within one hundred eighty
(180) days after discovery of the error), including payment to the United States of
any additional Rebate Amount owed to it, interest thereon, and any penalty
imposed under Section 1.148-3(h) of the Regulations.
(i) Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not, at any time prior to the
earlier of the Stated Maturity or final payment of the Bonds, enter into any transaction that
reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to subsection (h) of this
Section because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have
resulted if the transaction had been at arm's length and had the Yield of the Bonds not been
relevant to either party.
(j) Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tern,
City Manager, Chief Financial Officer, Assistant Chief Financial Officer, and City Secretary of
the City, individually or jointly, to make elections permitted or required pursuant to the provisions
of the Code or the Regulations, as one or more of such persons deems necessary or
appropriate in connection with the Bonds, in the Certificate as to Tax Exemption, or similar or
other appropriate certificate, form, or document.

Purchasers of the Bonds and premium in the amount, if any, specified in the Pricing Certificate)

In any case in which notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such
notice to any particular Holders, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to all other Bonds. Where this Ordinance or the Pricing
Certificate provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the

responsible for CUSIP numbers incorrectly printed or typed on the definitive Bonds.
SECTION 39: Benefits of Ordinance. Nothing in this Ordinance or the Pricing
Certificate, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any person

provision.

shall be provided in an electronic format prescribed by the MSRB and shall be accompanied by

and defeasance that cause the City to be no longer such an "obligated person."
The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the Holders and beneficial
owners of the Bonds, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit or
any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder to any other person. The City
undertakes to provide only the financial information, operating data, financial statements, and
notices which it has expressly agreed to provide pursuant to this Section and does not hereby
undertake to provide any other information that may be relevant or material to a complete
presentation of the City's financial results, condition, or prospects or hereby undertake to update

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE CITY BE LIABLE TO THE HOLDER OR
BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY BOND OR ANY OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT,
FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE CITY,
WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT
SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, BUT EVERY RIGHT AND REMEDY OF ANY SUCH PERSON,
IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR OR ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH BREACH SHALL BE
LIMITED TO AN ACTION FOR MANDAMUS OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.
No default by the City in observing or performing its obligations under this Section shall
constitute a breach of or default under this Ordinance for purposes of any other provision of this
Ordinance.
Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise limit the
duties of the City under federal and state securities laws.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Ordinance, the provisions of this Section
may be amended by the City from time to time to adapt to changed circumstances resulting
from a change in legal requirements, a change in law, or a change in the identity, nature, status,
or type of operations of the City, but only if (1) the provisions of this Section, as so amended,
would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Bonds in the primary offering of the
Bonds in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of
the Rule to the date of such amendment, as well as such changed circumstances, and (2) either
(a) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount (or any greater amount required by
any other provision of this Ordinance that authorizes such an amendment) of the Outstanding
Bonds consent to such amendment or (b) a Person that is unaffiliated with the City (such as
nationally recognized bond counsel) determines that such amendment will not materially impair
the interests of the Holders and beneficial owners of the Bonds. The provisions of this Section
may also be amended from time to time or repealed by the City if the SEC amends or repeals
the applicable provisions of the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction determines that such
provisions are invalid, but only if and to the extent that reservation of the City's right to do so
would not prevent underwriters of the initial public offering of the Bonds from lawfully purchasing
or selling Bonds in such offering. If the City so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall
include with any amended financial information or operating data next provided pursuant to
subsection (b) hereof an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and
of the impact of any change in the type of financial information or operating data so provided.

Manager, Chief Financial Officer, Assistant Chief Financial Officer, and City Secretary, are
hereby expressly authorized, empowered and directed from time to time and at any time to do

on behalf of the City all agreements, instruments, certificates or other documents, whether
mentioned herein or not, as may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and
provisions of this Ordinance and the issuance of the Bonds. In addition, prior to the initial
delivery of the Bonds, the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tern, City Manager, Chief Financial Officer,
Assistant Chief Financial Officer, City Secretary or Bond Counsel to the City are each hereby
74216725.1/1001065798 35

Certificate: (i) in order to cure any technical ambiguity, formal defect, or omission in the
Ordinance or such other document; or (ii) as requested by the Attorney General of the State of
Texas or his representative to obtain the approval of the Bonds by the Attorney General and if
such officer or counsel determines that such ministerial changes are consistent with the intent
and purpose of the Ordinance, which determination shall be final. In the event that any officer of
the City whose signature shall appear on any document shall cease to be such officer before
the delivery of such document, such signature nevertheless shall be valid and sufficient for all
purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery.
