"THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, in Wichita County, Texas (the "Issuer "), being a
political subdivision and municipal corporation of the State of Texas, hereby promises to pay to the
Registered Owner specified above, or registered assigns (hereinafter called the "Registered Owner "), on
September 1 in each of the years, in the principal installments and bearing interest at the per annum rates
set forth in the following schedule:
Years Principal Installments Interest Rates
(Information from Section 2 to be inserted)
The Issuer promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof (calculated on the basis
of a 360 -day year of twelve 30 -day months) from August 15, 2013 at the respective Interest Rate per
annum specified above. Interest is payable on March 1, 2014, and semiannually on each September 1 and
March 1 thereafter to the date of payment of the principal installment specified above, or the date of
redemption prior to maturity; except, that if this Certificate is required to be authenticated and the date of
its authentication is later than the first Record Date (hereinafter defined), such Principal Amount shall
bear interest from the interest payment date next preceding the date of authentication, unless such date of
authentication is after any Record Date but on or before the next following interest payment date, in
which case such principal amount shall bear interest from such next following interest payment date;
provided, however, that if on the date of authentication hereof the interest on the Certificate or
Certificates, if any, for which this Certificate is being exchanged is due but has not been paid, then this
Certificate shall bear interest from the date to which such interest has been paid in full."
C. The Initial Certificate shall be numbered "T -L"
Section 5. INTEREST AND SINKING FUND; SURPLUS REVENUES.
(a) A special "Interest and Sinking Fund" is hereby created and shall be established and
maintained by the Issuer at an official depository bank of said Issuer. Said Interest and Sinking Fund
shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of said Issuer, and shall be used only
for paying the interest on and principal of said Certificates. All amounts received from the sale of the
Certificates as accrued interest, shall be deposited upon receipt to the Interest and Sinking Fund, and all
ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of said Certificates shall be deposited, as
collected, to the credit of said Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year while any of said Certificates
are outstanding and unpaid, the governing body of said Issuer shall compute and ascertain a rate and
amount of ad valorem tax that will be sufficient to raise and produce the money required to pay the
interest on said Certificates as such interest comes due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund
adequate to pay the principal of said Certificates as such principal matures (but never less than 2% of the
original amount of said Certificates as a sinking fund each year); and said tax shall be based on the latest
approved tax rolls of said Issuer, with full allowances being made for tax delinquencies and the cost of tax
collection. Said rate and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby levied, and is hereby ordered to be levied,
against all taxable property in said Issuer, for each year while any of said Certificates are outstanding and
unpaid, and said tax shall be assessed and collected each such year and deposited to the credit of the
aforesaid Interest and Sinking Fund. Said ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the
interest on and principal of said Certificates, as such interest comes due and such principal matures, are
hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law.
(b) The Certificates are additionally secured by revenues of the Issuer's waterworks and sewer
system that remain after the payment of all maintenance and operation expenses thereof, and all debt
service, reserve and other requirements in connection with all of the Issuer's revenue obligations (now or
hereafter outstanding) that are secured by a lien on all or any part of the net revenues of the Issuer's
waterworks and sewer system, constituting "Surplus Revenues ". The Issuer shall deposit such Surplus
Revenues to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund created pursuant to this Section, to the extent
necessary to pay the principal and interest on the Certificates. Notwithstanding the requirements of
Section 6, if Surplus Revenues or other lawfully available moneys of the Issuer are actually on deposit in
the Interest and Sinking Fund in advance of the time when ad valorem taxes are scheduled to be levied for
any year, then the amount of taxes that otherwise would have been required to be levied pursuant to
Section 6 may be reduced to the extent and by the amount of the Surplus Revenues or other lawfully
available funds then on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund.
(c) Article 1208, Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Certificates of Obligation and
the pledge of the taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the Issuer under this Section, and is therefore
valid, effective, and perfected. Should Texas law be amended at any time while the Certificates of
Obligation are outstanding and unpaid, the result of such amendment being that the pledge of the taxes
and Surplus Revenues granted by the Issuer under this Section, is to be subject to the filing requirements
of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code, in order to preserve to the registered owners of the
Certificates of Obligation a 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, Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing of a security interest in said pledge to occur.
Section 6. DEFEASANCE OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) Any Certificate and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired and no longer
outstanding (a "Defeased Certificate ") within the meaning of this Ordinance, except to the extent
provided in subsection (d) of this Section, when payment of the principal of such Certificate, plus interest
thereon to the due date (whether such due date be by reason of maturity or otherwise) either (i) shall have
been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided for
on or before such due date by irrevocably depositing with or making available to the Paying
Agent/Registrar in accordance with an escrow agreement or other instrument (the "Future Escrow
Agreement ") for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to make such
payment or (2) Defeasance Securities that mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such
times as will insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide for such
payment, and when proper arrangements have been made by the Issuer with the Paying Agent/Registrar
for the payment of its services until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable. At such
time as a Certificate shall be deemed to be a Defeased Certificate hereunder, as aforesaid, such Certificate
and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by, payable from, or entitled to the benefits of, the ad
valorem taxes herein levied and pledged or the limited pledge of Surplus Revenues as provided in this
Ordinance, and such principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or Defeasance
Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, it is hereby provided
that any determination not to redeem Defeased Certificates that is made in conjunction with the payment
arrangements specified in subsection 6(a)(i) or (ii) shall not be irrevocable, provided that: (1) in the
proceedings providing for such payment arrangements, the Issuer expressly reserves the right to call the
Defeased Certificates for redemption; (2) gives notice of the reservation of that right to the owners of the
Defeased Certificates immediately following the making of the payment arrangements; and (3) directs
that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorizes.
(b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar may at the written direction of the
Issuer be invested in Defeasance Securities, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set forth,
and all income from such Defeasance Securities received by the Paying Agent/Registrar that is not
required for the payment of the Certificates and interest thereon, with respect to which such money has
been so deposited, shall be turned over to the Issuer, or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer.
Any Future Escrow Agreement pursuant to which the money and /or Defeasance Securities are held for
the payment of Defeased Certificates may contain provisions permitting the investment or reinvestment of
such moneys in Defeasance Securities or the substitution of other Defeasance Securities upon the
satisfaction of the requirements specified in subsection 6(a)(i) or (ii). All income from such Defeasance
Securities received by the Paying Agent/Registrar which is not required for the payment of the Defeased
Certificates, with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be remitted to the Issuer or
deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer.
(c) The term "Defeasance Securities" means any securities and obligations now or hereafter
authorized by State law that are eligible to discharges obligations such as the Bonds, which under current
law is limited to the following types of securities: (i) direct, non - callable obligations of the United States
of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America,
(ii) non - callable obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including
obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that, on
the date of the purchase thereof are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment
rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent, and (iii) non - callable 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 the governing body of the Issuer adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the financial
arrangements are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less
than AAA or its equivalent.
(d) Until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable, the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Certificates the
same as if they had not been defeased, and the Issuer shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay
for such services as required by this Ordinance.
(e) In the event that the Issuer elects to defease less than all of the principal amount of
Certificates of a maturity, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall select, or cause to be selected, such amount of
Certificates by such random method as it deems fair and appropriate.
Section 7. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES.
(a) Replacement Certificates. In the event any outstanding Certificate is damaged, mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed and delivered, a
new certificate of the same principal amount, maturity and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate, in replacement for such Certificate in the manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for Replacement Certificates. Application for replacement of damaged,
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates shall be made by the registered owner thereof to the
Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft or destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner
applying for a replacement certificate shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent/Registrar such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss or damage
with respect thereto. Also, in every case of loss, theft or destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner

Certificate, the registered owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the

(c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this , in the event any
such Certificate shall have matured, and no default has occurred that is then continuing in the payment of
the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Certificate, the Issuer may authorize the
payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Certificate)
instead of issuing a replacement Certificate, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above
provided in this Section.
(d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Certificates. Prior to the issuance of any replacement
certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such Certificate with all legal,
printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement certificate issued pursuant to the
provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed shall
constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Ordinance equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates duly issued under this
Ordinance.
(e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Certificates. In accordance with Sec. 1206.022,
Government Code, this Section 7 of this Ordinance shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such
replacement certificate without necessity of further action by the governing body of the Issuer or any
other body or person, and the duty of the replacement of such certificates is hereby authorized and
imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver

Section 9. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON THE
101 Q"aIIacoy.,,%1013
(a) Covenants. The Issuer covenants to take any action necessary to assure, or refrain from any
action that would adversely affect, the treatment of the Certificates as obligations described in section 103
of the Code, the interest on which is not includable in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of
federal income taxation. In furtherance thereof, the Issuer covenants as follows:
(1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Certificates (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business
use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds or the
projects financed therewith are so used, such amounts, whether or not received by the Issuer, with
respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Ordinance or any underlying
arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of
the debt service on the Certificates, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code;
(2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described
in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates or the projects
financed therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess
of 5 percent is used for a "private business use" that is "related" and not "disproportionate,"
within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use;
(3) to take any action to assure that no amount that is greater than the lesser of
$5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates (less amounts deposited into a reserve
fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state or local
governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code;
(4) to refrain from taking any action that would otherwise result in the Certificates being
treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code;
(5) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Certificates being "federally
guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
(6) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Certificates, directly or
indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds that were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire
investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) that produces a materially
higher yield over the term of the Certificates, other than investment property acquired with B
(A) proceeds of the Certificates invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3
years or less or, in the case of a refunding bond, for a period of 30 days or less until such
proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Certificates are issued,
(B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of
section 1.148 -1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund to
the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates;
(7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Certificates or amounts treated as
proceeds of the Certificates, as may be necessary, so that the Certificates do not otherwise
contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent
applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings);
(8) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five -year period
(beginning on the date of delivery of the Certificates) an amount that is at least equal to 90
percent of the 'Excess Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(f) of the Code and to pay to
the United States of America, not later than 60 days after the Certificates have been paid in full,
100 percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section
148(f) of the Code; and
(9) to assure that the proceeds of the Certificates will be used solely for new money
projects.
(b) Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (a)(8), a "Rebate
Fund" is hereby established by the Issuer for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such
Fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without limitation the holders of the
Certificates. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with section 148 of
the Code.
(c) Use of Proceeds. For purposes of the foregoing covenants (a)(1) and (a)(2), the Issuer
understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury
Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the
refunded bonds expended prior to the date of issuance of the Certificates. It is the understanding of the
Issuer that the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any
regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event
that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated that modify or expand provisions of the Code, as
applicable to the Certificates, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant contained
herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, will
not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Certificates under
section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated that impose
additional requirements applicable to the Certificates, the Issuer agrees to comply with the additional
requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, to preserve the
exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Certificates under section 103 of the Code. In
furtherance of such intention, the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor, the City Manager or
Assistant City Manager /Chief Financial Officer to execute any documents, certificates or reports required
by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the Issuer, that may be permitted by the Code as are
consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Certificates.
(d) Allocation of, and Limitation on, Expenditures for the Projects. The Issuer covenants to
account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings to be used for the construction and
acquisition of the Projects on its books and records by allocating proceeds to expenditures within 18
months of the later of the date that (1) the expenditure is made, or (2) the Projects are completed. The
foregoing notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not expend proceeds of the sale of the Certificates or
investment earnings thereon more than 60 days after the earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary of the delivery
of the Certificates, or (2) the date the Certificates are retired, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of
nationally- recognized bond counsel that such expenditure will not adversely affect the status, for federal
income tax purposes, of the Certificates or the interest thereon. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall not
be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to comply will not
adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest.
(e) Disposition of Projects. The Issuer covenants that the Projects will not be sold or otherwise
disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the Issuer of cash or other compensation, unless the
Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally- recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will
not adversely affect the tax - exempt status of the Certificates. For purposes of the foregoing, the portion
of the property comprising personal property and disposed in the ordinary course shall not be treated as a
transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall
not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains a legal opinion that such failure to comply will
not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax proposes from gross income of the interest.

(iii) The Issuer shall notify the MSRB, in a timely manner, of any failure by the Issuer to
provide financial information or operating data in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section
by the time required by such subsection.
(d) Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments.
(i) The Issuer shall be obligated to observe and perform the covenants specified in this
Section for so long as, but only for so long as, the Issuer remains an "obligated person" with
respect to the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule, except that the Issuer in any event will give
notice of any deposit made in accordance with this Order or applicable law that causes Bonds no
longer to be outstanding.
(ii) 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 Issuer'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 Issuer does not make any representation or warranty concerning such
information or its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Bonds at any future date.
(iii) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE ISSUER BE LIABLE TO THE

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.
(iv) No default by the Issuer in observing or performing its obligations under this Section
shall comprise a breach of or default under this Order for purposes of any other provision of this
Order. 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.
(v) Should the Rule be amended to obligate the Issuer to make filings with or provide
notices to entities other than the MSRB, the Issuer hereby agrees to undertake such obligation
with respect to the Bonds in accordance with the Rule as amended. The provisions of this Section
may be amended by the Issuer from time to time to adapt to changed circumstances that arise
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 sell Bonds in the primary offering of the
Bonds in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the
Rule since such offering 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 Order 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) determined that such amendment will not materially impair the interest of the
Registered Owners and beneficial owners of the Bonds. The Issuer may also amend or repeal the
provisions of this continuing disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable
provision of the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that such provisions of the
Rule are invalid, but only if and to the extent that the provisions of this sentence would not
prevent an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds in the primary offering of the
Bonds. 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) of this
Section an explanation, in narrative form, of the reason for the amendment and of the impact of
any change in the type of financial information or operating data so provided.
Section 14. METHOD OF AMENDMENT. The Issuer hereby reserves the right to amend this
Ordinance subject to the following terms and conditions, to wit:
(a) The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of any holder, except as otherwise
required by paragraph (b) below, amend or supplement this Ordinance in order to (i) cure any ambiguity,
defect or omission in this Ordinance that does not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders,
(ii) grant additional rights or security for the benefit of the holders, (iii) add events of default as shall not
be inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance and that shall not materially adversely affect the
interests of the holders, (iv) qualify this Ordinance under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or
corresponding provisions of federal laws from time to time in effect, or (v) make such other provisions in
regard to matters or questions arising under this Ordinance as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions
of this Ordinance and that shall not in the opinion of the Issuer's Bond Counsel materially adversely affect
the interests of the holders.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (a) above, the holders of Certificates aggregating in principal
amount 51% of the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Certificates that are the subject of a
proposed amendment shall have the right from time to time to approve any amendment hereto that may be
deemed necessary or desirable by the Issuer; provided, however, that without the consent of 100% of the
holders in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Certificates, nothing herein contained shall
permit or be construed to permit amendment of the terms and conditions of this Ordinance or in any of the
Certificates so as to:
(1) Make any change in the maturity of any of the outstanding Certificates;
(2) Reduce the rate of interest borne by any of the outstanding Certificates;
(3) Reduce the amount of the principal of, or redemption premium, if any, payable on
any outstanding Certificates;
(4) Modify the terms of payment of principal or of interest or redemption premium on
outstanding Certificates or any of them or impose any condition with respect to such payment; or
(5) Change the minimum percentage of the principal amount of any series of Certificates
necessary for consent to such amendment.
(c) If at any time the Issuer shall desire to amend this Ordinance under this Section, the Issuer
shall send by U.S. mail to each registered owner of the affected Certificates a copy of the proposed
amendment. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed amendment.
(d) Whenever at any time within one year from the date of the mailing of such notice the Issuer
shall receive an instrument or instruments executed by the holders of at least 51% in aggregate principal
amount of all of the Certificates then outstanding that are required for the amendment, which instrument
or instruments shall refer to the proposed amendment and that shall specifically consent to and approve
such amendment, the Issuer may adopt the amendment in substantially the same form.
(e) Upon the adoption of any amendatory Ordinance pursuant to the provisions of this Section,
this Ordinance shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance with such amendatory
Ordinance, and the respective rights, duties, and obligations of the Issuer and all holders of such affected
Certificates shall thereafter be determined, exercised, and enforced, subject in all respects to such
amendment.
(f) Any consent given by the holder of a Certificate pursuant to the provisions of this Section
shall be irrevocable for a period of six months from the date of the mailing of notice as provided for in
this Section, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all future holders of the same Certificate during
such period. Such consent may be revoked at any time after six months from the date of mailing of said
notice by the holder who gave such consent, or by a successor in title, by filing notice with the Issuer, but
such revocation shall not be effective if the holders of 51 % in aggregate principal amount of the affected
Certificates then outstanding, have, prior to the attempted revocation, consented to and approved the
amendment.
For the purposes of establishing ownership of the Certificates, the Issuer shall rely solely upon the
registration of the ownership of such Certificates on the registration books kept by the Paying
Agent/Registrar.
