By the date fixed for any such redemption, due provision shall be made with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the required redemption price for the Bonds or portions thereof which are to be so redeemed.

ALL BONDS OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully registered Bonds, without interest coupons, in the denomination of any integral multiple of $5,000.

The Issuer shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's reasonable standard or customary fees and charges for transferring and exchanging any Bond or portion thereof. Any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto shall be paid by the one requesting such assignment, transfer or exchange, as a condition precedent to the exercise of such privilege. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to make any such transfer or exchange with respect to any Bond or any portion thereof called for redemption prior to maturity, within 45 days prior to its redemption date; provided, however, such limitation of transfer shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Registered Owner of an unredeemed balance of a Bond called for redemption in part. WHENEVER the beneficial ownership of this Bond is determined by a book entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, the foregoing requirements of holding, delivering, or transferring this Bond shall be modified to require the appropriate person or entity to meet the requirements of the securities depository as to registering or transferring the book entry to produce the same effect.

TAX LEVY. A special Interest and Sinking Fund (the "Interest and Sinking Fund ") is hereby created solely for the benefit of the Bonds, and the Interest and Sinking Fund shall be established and maintained by the City at an official depository bank of the City. The Interest and Sinking Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of the City, and shall be used only for paying the interest on and principal of the Bonds. All ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of the Bonds shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year while any of the Bonds or interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid, the City Council of the City shall compute and ascertain a rate and amount of ad valorem tax which will be sufficient to raise and produce the money required to pay the interest on the Bonds as such interest comes due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of its Bonds as such principal matures (but never less than 2% of the original principal amount of said Bonds as a sinking fund each year); and said tax shall be based on the latest approved tax rolls of the City, with full allowance being made for tax delinquencies and the cost of tax collection.

Said ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of the Bonds, as such interest comes due and such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law. Section 9. DEFEASANCE OF BONDS. (a) Any Bond and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired, and no longer outstanding (a " Defeased Bond ") within the meaning of this Ordinance, except to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section 9, when payment of the principal of such Bond, plus interest thereon to the due date (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, upon redemption, or otherwise) either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof (including the giving of any required notice of redemption), 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 for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to make such payment or (2) Permitted Investments which 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 City with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Bond shall be deemed to be a Defeased Bond hereunder, as aforesaid, such Bond 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 as provided in this Ordinance, and such principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or Permitted Investments. (b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar may at the written direction of the City also be invested in Permitted Investments, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from such Permitted Investments received by the Paying Agent/Registrar which is not required for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon, with respect (/ky: 2715.016 \Ordin96.go - 4/16/96) 16 to which such money has been so deposited, shall be turned over to the City, or deposited as directed in writing by the City. (c) The term "Permitted Investments" as used in this Section, shall mean noncallable direct obligations of the United States of America, including obligations which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, which may be United States Treasury obligations such as its State and Local Government Series, which may be in book -entry form ( "Government Obligations "). (d) Until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Bonds the same as if they had not been defeased, and the City shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Ordinance. (e) That the City covenants that no deposit will be made or accepted under clause (a)(ii) of this Section and no use made of any such deposit which would cause the Bonds or any Priority Bonds to be treated as arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended. (f) In the event the principal and/or interest due on the Bonds shall be paid by AMBAC Indemnity pursuant to the Municipal Bond Guaranty Insurance Policy, the Bonds shall remain outstanding for all purposes, not be defeased or otherwise satisfied, and not be considered paid by the City, and the assignment and pledge of the Pledged Revenues and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the City to the owners of the Bonds shall continue to exist and shall run to the benefit of AMBAC Indemnity, and AMBAC Indemnity shall be subrogated to the rights of such owners. Section 10. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED BONDS. (a) Replacement Bonds. In the event any outstanding Bond is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed, and delivered, a new bond of the same principal amount, maturity, and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond, in replacement for such Bond in the manner hereinafter provided. (b) Application for Replacement Bonds. Application for replacement of damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Bonds shall be made by the registered owner thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Bond, the registered owner applying for a replacement bond shall furnish to the City 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 Bond, the registered owner shall furnish to the City and to the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft, or destruction of such Bond, as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a Bond, the registered owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Bond so damaged or mutilated. (Ay: 2715.016 \Ordin96.go - 4/16/96) 17 (c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the event any such Bond shall have matured, and no default has occurred which is then continuing in the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bond, the City may authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Bond) instead of issuing a replacement Bond, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section. (d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Bonds. Prior to the issuance of any replacement bond, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such Bond with all legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement bond issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Bond is lost, stolen, or destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the City whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond 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 Bonds duly issued under this Ordinance. (e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Bonds. In accordance with Section 5 of Vernon's Ann. Tex. Civ. St. Art. 717k -6, this Section 10 of this Ordinance shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such replacement bond without necessity of further action by the governing body of the City or any other body or person, and the duty of the replacement of such bonds is hereby authorized and imposed upon the Paying Agent/ Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver such Bonds in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 5 of this Ordinance for Bonds issued in exchange for other Bonds. Section 11. PAYMENT PROCEDURE PURSUANT TO MUNICIPAL BOND GUARANTY INSURANCE POLICY. As long as the Municipal Bond Guaranty Insurance Policy shall be in full force and effect, the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar agree to comply with the following provisions: (a) If payment of principal or interest due on the Bonds has not been made to the Paying Agent/Registrar or any owner of Bonds to whom such payment is due, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall so notify AMBAC Indemnity by telephonic or telegraphic notice, subsequently confirmed in writing, or written notice by registered or certified mail. Such notice shall specify the amount of the anticipated deficiency, the Bonds to which such deficiency is applicable, and whether such Bonds will be deficient as to principal or interest, or both. AMBAC Indemnity, on the later of the date due for payment or within one business day after receipt of notice of nonpayment, will deposit sufficient moneys with United States Trust Company of New York, as insurance Trustee for AMBAC Indemnity or any successor insurance trustee (the "Insurance Trustee "). (b) The Paying Agent/Registrar shall, after giving notice to AMBAC Indemnity as provided in (a) above, make available to AMBAC Indemnity and, at AMBAC Indemnity's direction, to the Insurance Trustee, the registration books of the City maintained by the Paying Agent/Registrar, and all records relating to the Funds and Accounts maintained under this Ordinance. (/ky: 2715.016 \Ordin96.go - 4/16/96) 18 (c) The Paying Agent/Registrar shall provide AMBAC Indemnity and the Insurance Trustee with a list of registered owners of the Bonds entitled to receive principal or interest payments from AMBAC Indemnity under the terms of the Municipal Bond Guaranty Insurance Policy, and shall make arrangements with the Insurance Trustee to (i) mail checks or drafts to the registered owners of Bonds entitled to receive full or partial interest payments from AMBAC Indemnity and (ii) pay principal upon Bonds surrendered to the Insurance Trustee by the registered owners of Bonds entitled to receive full or partial principal payments from AMBAC Indemnity. (d) The Paying Agent/Registrar shall, at the time it provides notice to AMBAC Indemnity pursuant to (a) above, notify registered owners of Bonds entitled to receive the payment of principal or interest thereon from AMBAC Indemnity (i) as to the fact of such entitlement, (ii) that AMBAC Indemnity will remit to them all or a part of the interest payments next coming due, (iii) that should they be entitled to receive full payment of principal from AMBAC Indemnity, they must present and surrender their Bonds together with any appropriate instrument of assignment for payment to the Insurance Trustee, and not the Paying Agent/Registrar, and (vi) that should they be entitled to receive partial payment of principal from AMBAC Indemnity, they must present and surrender their Bonds for payment thereon first to the Paying Agent/Registrar, who shall note on such Bonds the portion of the principal paid by the Paying Agent/Registrar, and then, along with an appropriate instrument of assignment, to the Insurance Trustee, which will then pay the unpaid portion of principal. The Insurance Trustee shall disburse to the registered owners of Bonds, through the Paying Agent/Registrar, the payment due less any amount held by the Paying Agent/Registrar for payment of principal of or interest on Bonds and legally available therefor. (e) In the event that the Paying Agent/Registrar has notice that any payment of principal of or interest on a Bond which has become due for payment and which is made to an owner of a Bond by or on behalf of the Board has been deemed a preferential transfer and theretofore recovered from its registered owner pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code by a trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with the final, nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall at the time AMBAC Indemnity is notified pursuant to (a) above, notify all registered owners that in the event that any registered owner's payment is so recovered, such registered owner will be entitled to payment from AMBAC Indemnity to the extent of such recovery, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall furnish to AMBAC Indemnity its records evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds which have been made by the Paying Agent/Registrar and subsequently recovered from registered owners and the dates on which such payments were made. (f) In addition to those rights granted AMBAC Indemnity under this Ordinance, AMBAC Indemnity shall, upon remittance and transfer of Bonds or appropriate instruments of assignment, become the owner thereof, and to evidence such ownership (i) in the case of claims for past due interest, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall note AMBAC Indemnity's rights as owner on the registration books of the Board maintained by the Paying Agent/Registrar upon receipt from AMBAC Indemnity of proof of the payment of interest thereon to the registered owners of the Bonds and (ii) in the case of claims for past due principal, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall note AMBAC (/ky: 2715.016 \Ordin96.go - 4/16/96) 19 Indemnity's rights as owner on the registration books of the Board maintained by the Paying Agent/Registrar upon surrender of the Bonds by the registered owners thereof together with proof of the payment of principal thereof. Section 12. NOTICES TO BE GIVEN TO AMBAC INDEMNITY.

The City will permit AMBAC Indemnity to have access to and to make copies of all books and records relating to the Bonds at any reasonable time. AMBAC Indemnity shall have the right to direct an accounting at the City's expense, and the City's failure to comply with such direction within 30 days after receipt of written notice of the direction from AMBAC Indemnity shall be deemed a default hereunder; provided, however, that if compliance cannot occur with such period, then such period will be extended so long as compliance is begun within such period and diligently pursued, but only if such extension would not materially adversely affect the interests of any owner of the Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall immediately notify AMBAC Indemnity if at any time there is insufficient money to make any payments of principal and/or interest as required and immediately upon the occurrence of an event of default hereunder.

In furtherance thereof, the City covenants as follows: (a) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the projects financed therewith (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 City, 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 Bonds, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code; (b) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described in subsection (a) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the proceeds 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" which is "related" and not "disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use; (c) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of $5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds (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; (d) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Bonds being treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code; (e) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Bonds being "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code; (f) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, directly or indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces a materially higher yield over the term of the Bonds, other than investment property acquired with -- (1) proceeds of the Bonds 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 bonds are issued, (/ky: 2715.016 \Ordin96.go - 4/16/96) 21 (2) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of section 148 -1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and (3) 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 Bonds; (g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated as proceeds of the Bonds, as may be necessary, so that the Bonds 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); and (h) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five -year period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Bonds) 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 Bonds 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. For purposes of the foregoing (a) and (b), the City understand 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 refunding bonds expended prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds. It is the understanding of the City 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 which modify or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Bonds, the City 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 Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which impose additional requirements which are applicable to the Bonds, the City 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 Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the City hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the City, which may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Bonds. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (h), a "Rebate Fund" is hereby established by the City 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 bondholders.
