The selection and appointment of the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Notes shall be as
provided in the applicable Pricing Certificate. Books and records relating to the registration,
payment, exchange and transfer of the Notes (the "Security Register") shall at all times be kept

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
Notes. The City covenants to maintain and provide a Paying Agent/Registrar at all times until
the Notes 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 Notes, 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 Notes shall be payable at their Stated Maturities or upon their earlier redemption,
only upon the presentation and surrender of the Notes to the Paying Agent/Registrar at its
designated offices as provided in the applicable Pricing Certificate (the "Designated
Payment/Transfer Office") provided, however, while a Note is registered to Cede & Co., the

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.
In the event of a non-payment of interest on one or more maturities of the Notes 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 Notes appearing on the Security Register at the close of business

SECTION 5: Registration - Transfer - Exchange of Notes - Predecessor Notes. The
Paying Agent/Registrar shall obtain, record, and maintain in the Security Register the name and
address of each and every Holder of the Notes issued under and pursuant to the provisions of
this Ordinance, or if appropriate, the nominee thereof. Any Note may be transferred or
exchanged for Notes 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
100103326.2/1001117898 3
such Note 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 Note (other than the Initial Note(s)
authorized in Section 8 hereof) for transfer at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the
Paying Agent/Registrar, one or more new Notes, executed on behalf of and furnished by the
City, shall be registered and issued to the assignee or transferee of the previous Holder; such
Notes to be of authorized denominations, of like Stated Maturity, and of a like aggregate
principal amount as the Note or Notes surrendered for transfer.
At the option of the Holder, Notes (other than the Initial Note(s) authorized in Section 8
hereof) may be exchanged for other Notes of authorized denominations and having the same
Stated Maturity, bearing the same rate of interest and of like aggregate principal amount as the
Notes surrendered for exchange, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the
Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar. Whenever any Notes are
surrendered for exchange, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall register and deliver new Notes,
executed on behalf of and furnished by the City, to the Holder requesting the exchange.
All Notes issued upon any such transfer or exchange of Notes 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 Notes
surrendered in such transfer or exchange.
All transfers or exchanges of Notes 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.
Notes canceled by reason of an exchange or transfer pursuant to the provisions hereof
are hereby defined to be "Predecessor Notes," evidencing all or a portion, as the case may be,
of the same obligation to pay evidenced by the new Note or Notes registered and delivered in
the exchange or transfer therefor. Additionally, the term "Predecessor Notes" shall include any
mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Note for which a replacement Note has been issued,
registered, and delivered in lieu thereof pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 hereof, and
such new replacement Note shall be deemed to evidence the same obligation as the mutilated,
lost, destroyed, or stolen Note.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to transfer or exchange
any Note called for redemption, in whole or in part, within forty-five (45) days of the date fixed
for the redemption of such Note; provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not
be applicable to an exchange by the Holder of the unredeemed balance of a Note 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 Notes, the City hereby approves and authorizes the use of "Book-Entry-Only" securities
100103326.2/1001117898 4
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 (the "Depository Agreement").
Pursuant to the Depository Agreement and the rules of DTC, the Notes shall be
deposited with DTC who shall hold said Notes for its participants (the "DTC Participants").
While the Notes are held by DTC under the Depository Agreement, the Holder of the Notes 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
Note (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
Notes 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 Notes, the City covenants and agrees with the Holders of
the Notes to cause Notes to be printed in definitive form and provide for the Note certificates to
be issued and delivered to DTC Participants and Beneficial Owners, as the case may be.
Thereafter, the Notes in definitive form shall be assigned, transferred and exchanged on the
Security Register maintained by the Paying Agent/Registrar, and payment of such Notes shall
be made in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 hereof.
SECTION 7: Execution - Registration. The Notes 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 Notes may be
manual or facsimile. Notes 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 Notes to the initial
purchaser(s) and with respect to Notes delivered in subsequent exchanges and transfers, all as
authorized and provided in Texas Government Code, Chapter 1201, as amended.
No Note shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this Ordinance, or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note 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 Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Note has been duly certified, registered, and delivered.
SECTION 8: Initial Note(s). The Notes herein authorized shall be initially issued either
(i) as a single fully registered Note in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with
principal installments to become due and payable as provided in the applicable Pricing
Certificate and numbered T-1, or (ii) as multiple fully registered Notes, being one Note 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 Note(s)") and, in either case,
the Initial Note(s) shall be registered in the name of the initial purchaser(s) or the designee
thereof. The Initial Note(s) shall be the Notes 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
100103326.2/1001117898 5
Public Accounts of the State of Texas, and delivered to the initial purchaser(s). Any time after

from the initial purchaser(s), or the designee thereof, shall cancel the Initial Note(s) delivered
hereunder and exchange therefor definitive Notes 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.

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 Notes, shall be substantially in the

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,

100103326.2/1001117898 7
The particular Term Notes 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 Notes 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
Notes 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 Notes plus accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to the Paying

At least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of Notes, the City shall

prepaid, to the registered owners of each Note 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 Note (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 Note (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.
In the event a portion of the principal amount of a Note 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 Note to the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and a new

however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the
registered owner of the unredeemed balance of a Note redeemed in part.
With respect to any optional redemption of the Notes, unless certain prerequisites to
such redemption required by the Ordinance have been met and moneys sufficient to pay the
redemption price of the Notes 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 are not satisfied or sufficient
100103326.2/1001117898 8
moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the City shall not redeem
such Notes and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice
of redemption was given, to the effect that the Notes have not been redeemed.
The Notes are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax levied, within the
limitations prescribed by law, upon all taxable property in the City. 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 owner or holder of this Note by
the acceptance hereof hereby assents, for definitions of terms; the description of and the nature
and extent of the tax levied for the payment of the Notes; the terms and conditions relating to
the transfer or exchange of this Note; 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 this
Note may be discharged at or prior to its maturity or redemption, and deemed to be no longer
Outstanding thereunder; and for other terms and provisions contained therein. Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned in the Ordinance.
This Note, 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 Notes
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 Note 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 Note 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 Holder 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 declared that the City is a body corporate
and political subdivision duly organized and legally existing under and by virtue of the
Constitution and laws of the State of Texas; that the issuance of the Notes 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 Notes to render the same lawful and valid obligations of the City have been
properly done, have happened, and have been performed in regular and due time, form, and
manner as required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and the Ordinance; that
the Notes do not exceed any Constitutional or statutory limitation; and that due provision has
100103326.2/1001117898 9
been made for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes by the levy of a tax as
aforestated. In case any provision in this Note shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the
validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby. The terms and provisions of this Note and the Ordinance shall be
construed in accordance with and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City Council of the City has caused this Note to be duly
executed under the official seal of the City.

SECTION 11: Mutilated — Destroyed - Lost and Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall be
mutilated, or destroyed, lost, or stolen, the Paying Agent/Registrar may execute and deliver a
replacement Note of like form and tenor, and in the same denomination and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Note; and
with respect to a lost, destroyed, or stolen Note, a replacement Note 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
Note, 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 Note shall be borne by the Holder of
the Note mutilated, or destroyed, lost, or stolen.
Every replacement Note 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
100103326.2/1001117898 13
ratably with all other Outstanding Notes; notwithstanding the enforceability of payment by
anyone of the destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes.
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 Notes.
SECTION 12: 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 Notes, at the times and in the manner stipulated in this Ordinance and the applicable Pricing
Certificate, then the pledge of taxes levied 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.
Notes 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 Notes 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 shall 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 Notes, 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. In the event of a defeasance of the Bonds, the City shall deliver a
certificate from its financial advisor, the Paying Agent/Registrar, an independent certified public
accountant, or another qualified third party concerning the sufficiency of the deposit of cash
and/or Government Securities to pay, when due, the principal of, redemption premium (if any),
and interest due on any defeased Bonds. 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 Notes 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 Notes, 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 Notes and remaining unclaimed for a period of three (3) years
after the Stated Maturity, or applicable redemption date, of the Notes 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.
The term "Government Securities" shall mean (i) direct noncallable obligations of the
United States of America, including obligations the principal of and interest on which are
100103326.2/1001117898 14
unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, (ii) noncallable obligations of an
agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including obligations unconditionally
guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and, on the date of their acquisition or
purchase by the City, are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment
rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent, (iii) noncallable obligations of a state or an
agency or a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have been
refunded and that, on the date of their acquisition or purchase by the City, are rated as to
investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its
equivalent, and (iv) any other then authorized securities or obligations under applicable law that
may be used to defease obligations such as the Notes.
The City reserves the right, subject to satisfying the requirements of (i) and (ii) above, to
substitute other Government Securities for the Government Securities originally deposited, to
reinvest the uninvested moneys on deposit for such defeasance and to withdraw for the benefit
of the City moneys in excess of the amount required for such defeasance.
Upon such deposit as described above, such Notes shall no longer be regarded to be
outstanding or unpaid. Provided, however, the City has reserved the option, to be exercised at
the time of the defeasance of the Notes, to call for redemption, at an earlier date, those Notes
which have been defeased to their maturity date, if the City: (i) in the proceedings providing for
the firm banking and financial arrangements, expressly reserves the right to call the Notes for
redemption; (ii) gives notice of the reservation of that right to the Holders of the Notes
immediately following the making of the firm banking and financial arrangements; and (iii)
directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorizes.
SECTION 13: Ordinance a Contract - Amendments - Outstanding Notes. This
Ordinance, together with the applicable Pricing Certificate, 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 Note remains Outstanding except as permitted in this Section and in Section
29 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 any provision in the applicable 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 consent of
Holders who own a majority of the aggregate of the principal amount of the Notes then
Outstanding, amend, add to, or rescind any of the provisions of this Ordinance or any provision
in the applicable Pricing Certificate; provided that, without the consent of all Holders of
Outstanding Notes, no such amendment, addition, or rescission shall (1) extend the time or
times of payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes, reduce the principal amount
thereof, the redemption price, or the rate of interest thereon, or in any other way modify the
terms of payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes, (2) give any preference to any Note
over any other Note, or (3) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Notes required to be held
by Holders for consent to any such amendment, addition, or rescission.
The term "Outstanding" when used in this Ordinance with respect to Notes means, as of
the date of determination, all Notes theretofore issued and delivered under this Ordinance,
except:

Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation;

replaced with Notes registered and delivered in lieu thereof as provided in Section 11
hereof.

meanings:

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.
"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 Notes.
"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 Notes are invested
and which is not acquired to carry out the governmental purposes of the Notes.
"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
Notes. 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 Notes has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-4

(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 Note to become includable in the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of
100103326.2/1001117898 16
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 Note 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 Note, 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 Notes:
(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 Notes, 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
instrumentality thereof) other than a state or local government, unless such use
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

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 Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes.
(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 Notes to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of Section
149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
100103326.2/1001117898 17
(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 Note is discharged. However,
to the extent permitted by law, the City may commingle Gross Proceeds of the
Notes 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.
(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 Notes until six years after the final Computation Date.
(iii) As additional consideration for the purchase of the Notes 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 Interest and Sinking Fund, the amount that
when added to the future value of previous rebate payments made for the Notes
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
100103326.2/1001117898 18
earlier of the Stated Maturity or final payment of the Notes, 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 Notes not been
relevant to either party.
(j) Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem,
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 Notes, in the Certificate as to Tax Exemption, or similar or
other appropriate certificate, form, or document.

class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder appearing in the Security Register at the
close of business on the business day next preceding the mailing of such notice.
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

100103326.2/1001117898 24
The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the Holders and beneficial
owners of the Notes, 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
any information provided in accordance with this Section or otherwise, except as expressly
provided herein. The City does not make any representation or warranty concerning such
information or its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Notes at any future date.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE CITY BE LIABLE TO THE HOLDER OR
BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY NOTE 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 Notes in the primary offering of the
Notes 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 Notes
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 Notes. 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 Notes from lawfully purchasing or selling
Notes 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.
SECTION 30: Municipal Note Insurance. The Notes may be sold with the principal of
and interest thereon being insured by a municipal note insurance provider authorized to transact
business in the State of Texas. The Pricing Officer is hereby authorized to make the selection
100103326.2/1001117898 25
of municipal note insurance (if any) for the Notes and make the determination of the provisions
of any commitment therefor.
SECTION 31: Further Procedures. Any one or more of the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City
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
and perform all such acts and things and to execute, acknowledge and deliver in the name and
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 Notes. In addition, prior to the initial
delivery of the Notes, the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Manager, Chief Financial Officer,
Assistant Chief Financial Officer, City Secretary or Bond Counsel to the City are each hereby
authorized and directed to approve any technical changes or corrections to this Ordinance or to
any of the documents authorized and approved by this Ordinance, including each applicable
Pricing 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 Notes 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.
SECTION 32: Public Meeting. It is officially found, determined, and declared that the
meeting at which this Ordinance is adopted was open to the public and public notice of the time,
place, and subject matter of the public business to be considered at such meeting, including this
