surrendered.
SECTION 1.3. Execution, Registration by Comptroller, Delivery, and Dating.
The Mayor of the Issuer shall execute the Bonds on behalf of the Issuer and attested by
the Clerk of the Issuer. The signature of either of said officers on the Bonds may be manual or
facsimile. Bonds bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time

to attest the initial Bond in the name of Cede & Co. The Mayor of the Issuer is further
authorized and directed to submit such initial Bond, together with the record of the proceedings
authorizing the issuance thereof and any and all other necessary orders, certificates, and records,
to the Attorney General of Texas for approval. After the Attorney General has approved such
Bonds, the Mayor of the Issuer shall cause such Bonds to be delivered to the Comptroller of
Public Accounts of the State of Texas for registration. If requested by the Attorney General or
its representatives, or if otherwise deemed necessary to properly evidence the intent of the Issuer
in the adoption of this Ordinance, the Mayor or Mayor Pro Tern of the Issuer may make such
ministerial changes in the written text of this Ordinance as such officer determines are consistent
with the intent and purposes of this Ordinance, which determination shall be final. Upon
registration of the Bonds, the Comptroller is authorized and directed to deliver the Bonds in
accordance with instructions of the Mayor of the Issuer. At any time thereafter the Issuer may
deliver such Bonds to the Paying Agent together with definitive Bonds to be issued in exchange
therefor, and the Paying Agent is directed, within not more than five business days following
receipt of instructions from the payee named therein designating the Persons, Stated Maturities,
and denominations to and in which such Bonds are to be transferred, register and deliver such
definitive Bonds as provided in such instructions. The officers or acting officers of the
Governing Body are authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Governing Body such
certificates and instruments as may be necessary to accomplish or in furtherance of the delivery
of the Bonds to and payment therefor by the Purchasers.
All Bonds registered and delivered by the Paying Agent hereunder are to be dated by the
Paying Agent the date of their registration.
No Bond is entitled to any right or benefit under this Ordinance, or is valid or obligatory
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Bond either a certificate of registration

SECTION 1.4. Registration, Transfer, and Exchange.
The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Place of Payment a register (herein referred to as
the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Issuer or the
Paying Agent may prescribe,the Paying Agent shall provide for the registration of the Bonds and
of transfers of the Bonds as herein provided.
Upon surrender or transfer of any Bond at the Place of Payment, the Issuer shall execute,
and the Paying Agent shall register and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Bonds of the same Stated Maturity, of any authorized
denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount. New Bonds registered, and delivered
in an exchange or transfer will be delivered by the Paying Agent at the Place of Payment or sent
by United Stated mail at the Holder's written request, risk, and expense.
At the option of the Holder, Bonds may be exchanged for other Bonds of the same Stated
Maturity, of any authorized denominations, and of like aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the bonds to be exchanged at the Place of Payment. Whenever any Bonds are so
surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Paying Agent shall register and
deliver,the Bonds which the Holder of Bonds making the exchange is entitled to receive.
Every Bond presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange must be duly endorsed, or
be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Paying Agent duly
executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge may be made to the Holder for any registration, transfer, or exchange
of Bonds, but the Issuer or the Paying Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Bonds.
Neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent is required (1) to transfer or exchange any Bond
during a period beginning 45 days prior to a Redemption Date hereunder and ending at the close
of business on the day of mailing of a notice of redemption or (2) thereafter to transfer or

Agent receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft of any Bond, and
(2)there is delivered to the Issuer and the Paying Agent such security or indemnity as they
require to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Paying
Agent that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and
upon its request the Paying Agent shall register and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the same Stated Maturity, and of
like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Bond instead of issuing a new
Bond.
Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Section, the Issuer or the Paying Agent
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith.
Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost,
or stolen Bond constitutes an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or
not the mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond is at any time enforceable by anyone, and the
new Bond is entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and ratably with all other
Outstanding Bonds.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and preclude (to the extent lawful) all other
rights and remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or
stolen Bonds.

as the owner of a Bond for purposes of receiving payment of principal and Redemption Price of
and (subject to Section 1.3) interest on the Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether
or not the Bond is due or overdue, and neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent, or any agent of
either, is affected by notice to the contrary.

All Bonds surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, exchange, or replacement, if
surrendered to the Paying Agent, are to be promptly canceled by it and, if surrendered to the
Issuer, are to be delivered to the Paying Agent and, if not already canceled, are to promptly be
canceled by the Paying Agent. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Paying Agent for
cancellation any Bonds previously certified and delivered which the Issuer acquires in any
manner whatsoever, and all Bonds so delivered are to be promptly canceled by the Paying Agent.
No Bond may be certified in lieu of or in exchange for any Bond canceled as provided in this
Section, except as expressly provided by this Ordinance. All canceled Bonds held by the Paying
56497493.2 -7-
Agent are to be disposed of in accordance with the standard document retention policies of the
Issuer.
SECTION 1.8. Book-Entry Only
Notwithstanding the provisions contained in Sections 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, or 1.6 relating to the
payment, redemption and transfer/exchange of the Bonds, the Issuer 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 DTC's requirements and
procedures, and authorizes the Issuer and the Paying Agent to take such as actions as are
necessary to qualify the Bonds with DTC and to deliver the Bonds through DTC.

participants (the "DTC Participants"). While the Bonds are so held, the Registered Owner 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.

or otherwise ceases to provide book-entry clearance and settlement of securities transactions in
general or the Issuer determines that DTC is incapable of properly discharging its duties as
securities depository for the Bonds, the Issuer covenants and agrees with the Registered Owners
of the Bonds to cause Bonds to be printed in definitive form and provide for the certificated
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 and payment of such Bonds shall be made
in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5.

ARTICLE FOUR
TAXES, REVENUES,AND FUNDS;
INVESTMENTS
SECTION 4.1. Debt Service Fund.
To pay interest on and to provide a sinking fund for the payment, redemption, and
retirement of the Bonds, the Issuer hereby creates and shall maintain solely for such purposes
(subject to the provisions of Section 5.2) a special fund designated as its "UNLIMITED
GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS, SERIES 2020 DEBT SERVICE FUND"
(the "Debt Service Fund"). The Issuer authorizes and directs its authorized officials to withdraw
from the Debt Service Fund and to transfer to the Paying Agent money on deposit in the Debt
Service Fund sufficient to pay the amount of principal or interest falling due on the Bonds, such
transfer of funds to the Paying Agent to be made in such manner as will cause immediately
available funds to be deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the last business day next
preceding each interest and principal payment date for the Bonds.
SECTION 4.2. Deposits to Debt Service Fund; Excess Bond Proceeds.
The Issuer shall deposit accrued interest and premium, if any, received from the
Purchaser and ad valorem taxes levied and collected to pay principal or Redemption Price of or
interest on the Bonds to the Debt Service Fund. In addition, the Issuer shall deposit any surplus
proceeds, including investment income therefrom, from the sale of the Bonds not expended for
authorized purposes to the Debt Service Fund.
SECTION 4.3. Tax Levy.
To provide for the payment of the Debt Service Requirements, the Issuer levies and shall
levy for the current year and each succeeding year thereafter while the Bonds or any interest
thereon is Outstanding, a sufficient tax on each $100 of taxable property in the Issuer, adequate
to pay such amounts or a sinking fund of 2% (whichever amount is greater), full allowance being
made for delinquencies and costs of collection. Such tax shall be assessed and collected each
year, and the same may not be diverted to any other purpose. The Issuer shall pay the taxes so
levied and collected into the Debt Service Fund. The Governing Body hereby declares its
purpose and intent to provide and levy such tax, it having been determined that the existing and
available taxing authority of the Issuer for such purpose is adequate to permit a legally sufficient
tax in consideration of all other outstanding indebtedness.
The Issuer shall determine the amount of taxes to be provided annually for the Debt
Service Requirements in the following manner:
A. Prior to establishing the annual tax rate, the Governing Body shall determine:
(1) the amount of Debt Service Requirements to become due and payable on
the Bonds between the Collection Date for the taxes then to be levied and the Collection
Date for the taxes to be levied during the next succeeding calendar year; and
56497493.2 -24-
(2) the amount on deposit in the Debt Service Fund (including surplus Bond
proceeds transferred to the Debt Service Fund under Section 4.2) after deducting
therefrom the total amount of Debt Service Requirements to become due on Bonds prior
to the Collection Date for the ad valorem taxes then to be levied.
B. The Issuer shall assess and levy annually each year a tax to pay the Debt Service
Requirements sufficient to provide tax revenues in the amount established in paragraph(1) above
less the sum total of the amount established in paragraph (2), after taking into consideration
delinquencies and costs of collecting such annual taxes.
Texas Government Code chapter 1208 applies to the issuance of the Bonds and the
pledge of the tax revenues granted hereunder, and such pledge is therefore valid, effective, and
perfected. If Texas law is hereafter amended at any time while the Bonds are Outstanding and
unpaid so that the pledge of taxes hereunder is subject to the filing requirements of chapter 9,
Texas Business & Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the Registered Owners of the
Bonds the perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the Issuer agrees to take such
measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the
applicable provisions of chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing to
perfect the security interest in such pledge to occur.
SECTION 4.4. Investments and Security For Funds.
The Issuer is required to keep all money in such funds and accounts at a depository of the
Issuer except when invested pursuant to this Section. Subject to Section 5.2, money in any fund
established by this Ordinance may, at the option of the Issuer, be invested in a manner permitted
by the provisions of the Public Funds Investment Act of 1987, Texas Government Code chapter
2256, subchapter A, as then in effect, the Public Funds Collateral Act, Texas Government Code
chapter 2257, as then in effect, or by any other law applicable to the Issuer; provided that all such
investments must be made so that money required to be expended will be available at the proper
time or times. The Issuer shall credit or debit all interest and income or losses from deposits and
investments in any fund or account established pursuant to the provisions of this Ordinance shall
be credited to such fund or account. The Issuer shall sell investments promptly as necessary to
prevent any default in connection with the Bonds.
All money on deposit in the funds for which this Ordinance makes provision (except any
portion thereof as may be at any time properly invested as provided herein) shall be secured in
the manner and to the fullest extent required by the laws of Texas for the security of public
funds, and money on deposit in such funds shall be used only for the purposes permitted by this
Ordinance.
SECTION 4.5. Escrow Agreement; Funding of Defeasance; Redemption of Refunded
Obligations.
A. Authorization of Escrow Agreement. The terms and provisions of the Escrow
Agreement are hereby approved, and the Mayor and the Mayor Pro Tern of the Issuer, or either
of them, and the Clerk and any Assistant or Acting Clerk of the Issuer, or any of them, are
56497493.2 -25-
hereby authorized to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement substantially in the form and to
the effect presented to the Governing Body on the date of adoption of this Ordinance, but with
such changes therein as the Mayor or the Mayor Pro Tern may approve, such approval to be
conclusively evidenced by the execution thereof by such officer, all as the act and deed of the
Governing Body, and the Governing Body further approves the purchase of the securities to be
held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and authorizes the Mayor and the
Mayor Pro Tern, or either of them, to take such action in furtherance of the purchase of such
securities as may be necessary or advisable.
B. Funding of Defeasance. Promptly after the delivery of the Bonds, an amount as
specified in the Escrow Agreement is to be deposited in immediately available funds to the
escrow fund established with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and used for
the purposes of providing for the full and complete discharge and final payment of all the
outstanding Refunded Obligations and appurtenant coupons. The Governing Body hereby finds
and determines, after consultation with the engineer for the Issuer, that amounts held in any
construction fund for the Refunded Obligations are necessary for the purposes for which the
Refunded Obligations were issued and as a reasonable contingency, repair, and replacement fund
for the facilities financed thereby. The Governing Body hereby further finds and determines that
amounts held in the interest and sinking fund of the Issuer in excess of the amount specified in
the Escrow Agreement are reasonably required to insure timely payment of debt service on tax-
supported obligations of the Issuer and that all amounts held in the operating fund of the Issuer
are reasonably required to pay costs of operating and maintaining the properties of the Issuer.
The Governing Body therefore finds and determines that none of the amounts held in the
Construction Fund or such interest and sinking fund or operating fund are surplus or should be
applied to purchase the securities held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement, except
the amount specified in the Escrow Agreement.
Promptly after the delivery of the Bonds, sufficient proceeds received from the sale of the
Bonds, together with other legally available funds from the Issuer's debt service funds held for
payment of the Refunded Obligations, is to be deposited in immediately available funds to the
escrow fund established with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and used for
the purposes of providing for the full and complete discharge and final payment of all the
outstanding Refunded Obligations and appurtenant coupons.
C. Redemption of Refunded Obligations. Subject to the sale of the Bonds and the
execution of the Officer's Pricing Certificate designating the Refunded Bonds, the Issuer hereby
irrevocably exercises its option to call for redemption, and hereby calls for redemption, on the
earliest date on which each series of Refunded Obligations may be called for redemption, as
established in the Officer's Pricing Certificate, the Refunded Obligations as described in the
Escrow Agreement. The Mayor and the Mayor pro-tern of the Issuer, or either of them, are
authorized and instructed to give or effect notice of such redemption to the paying agent for the
Refunded Obligations to be so redeemed by delivery of a certified copy of this Ordinance and to
the holders of such Refunded Obligations and appurtenant coupons, by publication or mail in the
manner described in such bonds, promptly on or after the Issue Date. The Governing Body
hereby authorizes and instructs the officers of the Governing Body, the paying agent for the
Refunded Obligations, and the Escrow Agent to take such steps as are necessary to accomplish
56497493.2 -26-
the redemption and the discharge of the Refunded Obligations in accordance with the provisions
hereof.

COVENANTS
SECTION 5.1. To Maintain Agency.
The Issuer will at all times maintain an agency in the State of Texas meeting the
qualifications herein described, for the performance of the duties of the Paying Agent hereunder.
BOKF, NA, Dallas, Texas, is hereby appointed Paying Agent for such purposes. The Paying
Agent may be removed from its duties hereunder at any time upon not less than 30 days notice
with or without cause by action of the Governing Body entered in its minutes, but no such
removal is effective until such successor has accepted the duties of the Paying Agent hereunder
by written instrument.
Every Paying Agent appointed hereunder must at all times be a commercial bank or trust
company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any
state, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $10,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority, and registered as a transfer agent with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If
such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the
requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Upon any change in
the Paying Agent, the Issuer agrees to promptly cause a written notice thereof to be sent to each
Registered Owner affected by the change, which notice shall also give the address of the new
Paying Agent, which shall thereafter be the designated Place of Payment.
The terms of the Transfer and Paying Agency Agreement (the "Paying Agency
Agreement") with the initial Paying Agent are hereby approved in substantially the form and to
the effect presented to the Governing Body on this date, and the Mayor and the Mayor Pro Tem
of the Issuer, or either of them, and the Clerk and any Assistant or Acting Clerk of the Issuer, or
any of them, are hereby authorized to execute and deliver such Transfer and Paying Agency
Agreement.
SECTION 5.2. 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.
"Computation Date"has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-1(b) of the Regulations.
56497493.2 -28-
"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 1.148-4 of the Regulations.
B. Not to Cause Interest to Become Taxable. The Issuer 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 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 Issuer shall have received 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 Issuer
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 Issuer shall at all times prior to the last
Stated Maturity of Bonds:
(1) 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 (including property financed with Gross
Proceeds of the Refunded Obligations), 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
56497493.2 -29-
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
(2) 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 (including property financed with Gross
Proceeds of the Refunded Obligations), other than taxes of general application within the
Issuer 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 Issuer shall not use Gross Proceeds of the Bonds to
make or finance loans to any Person 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 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 Issuer shall not, at any time prior to the
final Stated Maturity of the Bonds, directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds of the Bonds in
any Investment (or use such Gross Proceeds to replace money so invested), if as a result of such
investment the Yield of any Investment 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 Issuer 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 Issuer shall timely file with the Secretary of the
Treasury the information required by section 149(e) of the Code with respect to the Bonds on
such form and in such place as such Secretary may prescribe.
H. Payment of Rebatable Arbitrage. Except to the extent otherwise provided in
section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder,the Issuer shall:
(1) 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 such
accounting for at least six years after the final Computation Date. The Issuer may,
56497493.2 -30-
however, to the extent permitted by law, commingle Gross Proceeds of the Bonds with
other money of the Issuer, provided that the Issuer separately accounts for each receipt
and expenditure of such Gross Proceeds and the obligations acquired therewith.
(2) calculate the Rebate Amount, not less frequently than each Computation
Date, in accordance with rules set forth in section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations,
and the rulings thereunder. The Issuer shall maintain a copy of such calculations for at
least six years after the final Computation Date.
(3) as additional consideration for the purchase of the Bonds by the
Purchasers thereof and the loan of the money represented thereby, and in order to induce
such purchase by measures designed to ensure the excludability of the interest thereon
from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, pay to the
United States 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, at the times, in the installments, to the place,
in the manner and accompanied by such forms or other information as is or may be
required by section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, and
(4) exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the
calculations required by paragraphs (2) and (3) and, if such error is made, to discover and
promptly to correct such error within a reasonable amount of time thereafter (and in all
events within 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
required by Treas. Reg. § 1.148-3(h).
To the extent authorized by law, when used herein the term "interest" includes all
payments due to the United States of America pursuant to this Subsection. The Issuer shall not
invest Gross Proceeds in amounts and for such period of time such that the amounts due to the
United States of America pursuant to this Section, when aggregated with other interest payable
on the Bonds, shall cause the "net effective interest rate" on the Bonds, to exceed 15% per
annum.
I. Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent permitted by section 148 of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the Issuer shall not, at any time prior to the
earlier of the final 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(G) 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 Issuer hereby directs and authorizes the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tern,
Clerk, City Manager, Attorney, or Director of Finance of the Issuer, either or any combination of
the foregoing, to make such elections in the Certificate as to Tax Exemption or similar or other
56497493.2 -31-
appropriate certificate, form, or document permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the
Code or Regulations as they deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the Bonds. Such
elections are deemed made on the Issue Date.
K. Bonds Not Hedge Bonds.
(1) At the time the original bonds refunded by the Bonds were issued, the
Issuer reasonably expected to spend at least 85% of the spendable proceeds of such bonds within
three years after such bonds were issued.
(2) Not more than 50% of the proceeds of the original bonds refunded by the
Bonds were invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a substantially guaranteed Yield for a
period of 4 years or more.
SECTION 5.3. Remedies in Event of Default.
In addition to all the rights and remedies provided by the laws of the State of Texas, the
Issuer covenants and agrees particularly that in the event the Issuer (a) defaults in the payments
to be made to the Debt Service Fund, or (b) defaults in the observance or performance of any
other of the covenants, conditions, or obligations set forth in this Ordinance, the Registered
Owners of any of the Bonds shall be entitled to seek a writ of mandamus issued by a court of
proper jurisdiction compelling and requiring the governing body of the Issuer and other officers
of the Issuer 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 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 remedies herein provided shall be cumulative of
all other existing remedies and the specification of such remedies shall not be deemed to be
exclusive.

DEFEASANCE
SECTION 6.1. Discharge of Obligations.
Any Bond is deemed paid and is no longer considered to be a Bond within the meaning
of this Ordinance when payment of the principal of and interest on such Bond to the Stated
Maturity thereof or (if notice of redemption has been duly given, irrevocably provided for, or
waived as provided herein) to the Redemption Date has been made or has been provided for by
deposit with the Paying Agent or an escrow agent for such payment (or with any other bank or
trust company which has agreed to hold the same for such purpose) (1) money sufficient to make
such payment, (2) Governmental Obligations certified by an independent public accounting firm
of national reputation to be of such maturities and interest payment dates and to bear such
interest as will, without further investment or reinvestment of either the principal amount thereof
or the interest earnings therefrom, be sufficient to make such payment, or (3) a combination of
money and Governmental Obligations together so certified sufficient to make such payment,
provided that all the expenses pertaining to the Bonds with respect to which such deposit is made
have been paid or the payment thereof provided for to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent (and
to such other bank or trust company).
If such deposit is made with respect to some but not all of the Bonds then Outstanding,
the Issuer shall designate the Stated Maturities of Bonds with respect to which such deposit is
made. If such deposit is sufficient so to provide for the payment of the principal of and interest
on some but not all Outstanding Bonds of a particular Stated Maturity so designated, the Paying
Agent shall select the Outstanding Bonds of such Stated Maturity with respect to which such
deposit is made by such random method as the Paying Agent deems fair and appropriate and
which may provide for the selection of portions (equal to and leaving unredeemed an authorized
denomination)of Bonds a denomination larger than $5,000.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such deposit has the effect described
in this Section (a) if made during the subsistence of a default in the payment of any Bond unless
made with respect to all of the Bonds then Outstanding or (b) unless accompanied by an opinion
of counsel of recognized standing in the field of federal income taxation to the effect that neither
such deposit nor the investment thereof adversely affects the excludability of interest on any
Bond from the gross income of any owner thereof for federal income tax purposes.
The Paying Agent (or other bank or trust company) with which a deposit is made of
money and Governmental Obligations for such purpose shall hold the deposit in a segregated
account in trust or escrow for the Registered Owners of the Bonds with respect to which such
deposit is made and, together with any investment income therefrom, the deposit may be
disbursed solely to pay the principal of and interest on such Bonds when due, except that cash
receipts may be withdrawn and paid to the Issuer provided the date and amount of such
withdrawals are taken into account in the most recent verification of the accounting firm referred
to in this Section. No money or Governmental Obligations so deposited may be invested or
reinvested unless in Governmental Obligations and unless such money and Governmental
Obligations not invested and such new investments are together certified by an independent
56497493.2 -33-
public accounting firm of national reputation to be of such amounts, maturities, and interest
payment dates and to bear such interest as will, without further investment or reinvestment of
either the principal amount thereof or the interest earnings therefrom, be sufficient to make such
payment.
At such times as a Bond is deemed to be paid hereunder, as aforesaid, it is no longer
entitled to the benefits of this Ordinance, except for the purposes of any such payment from such
money or Governmental Obligations and for the provisions of Sections 1.4 and 1.7 and for the
continuing compliance of the Issuer with the provisions of Section 5.2.

The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the Registered Owners 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
Issuer 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 financial results, condition, or prospects of the Issuer or the State of Texas or

warranty concerning such information or its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Bonds at
any future date.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE ISSUER BE LIABLE TO THE
REGISTERED OWNER 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 ISSUER, 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 Issuer 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 Issuer under federal and state securities laws.
The provisions of this Section may be amended by the Issuer 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 Issuer, but only if (1) the
provisions of this Section, as so amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or
56497493.2 -38-
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 Registered Owners 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 Issuer (such as nationally recognized bond counsel)
determines that such amendment will not materially impair the interests of the Registered
Owners and beneficial owners of the Bonds. The provisions of this Section may also be
amended from time to time or repealed by the Issuer 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 Issuer'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 Issuer so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include with any
amended financial information or operating data next provided in accordance with subsection (b)
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.
