conversion of and exchange for any Certificate or Certificates issued under this Ordinance the Paying
Agent /Registrar shall execute the PAYING AGENT /REGISTRAR'S AUTHENTICATION
CERTIFICATE, in the form set forth in the FORM OF CERTIFICATE.

reserves the right to, and may, at its option, change the Paying Agent /Registrar upon not less than 120
days written notice to the Paying Agent /Registrar, to be effective not later than 60 days prior to the next
principal or interest payment date after such notice. In the event that the entity at any time acting as
Paying Agent /Registrar (or its successor by merger, acquisition, or other method) should resign or
otherwise cease to act as such, the Issuer covenants that promptly it will appoint a competent and legally
qualified bank, trust company, financial institution, or other agency to act as Paying Agent /Registrar

designated and appointed by the Issuer. Upon any change in the Paying Agent /Registrar, the Issuer
promptly will cause a written notice thereof to be sent by the new Paying Agent /Registrar to each
Registered Owner of the Certificates, by United States mail, first -class postage prepaid, which notice also

such, each Paying Agent /Registrar shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this Ordinance,
and a certified copy of this Ordinance shall be delivered to each Paying Agent /Registrar.
(e) Except as provided below, no Certificate shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be
entitled to any security or benefit of this Ordinance unless and until there appears thereon the Certificate
of Paying Agent /Registrar substantially in the form provided in this Ordinance, duly authenticated by
manual execution of the Paying Agent /Registrar. It shall not be required that the same authorized
representative of the Paying Agent /Registrar sign the Certificate of Paying Agent /Registrar on all of the
Certificates. In lieu of the executed Certificate of Paying Agent /Registrar described above, the Initial
Certificate delivered on the closing date shall have attached thereto the Comptroller's Registration
Certificate substantially in the form provided in this Ordinance, manually executed by the Comptroller of
Public Accounts of the State of Texas or by his duly authorized agent, which certificate shall be evidence
that the Initial Certificate has been duly approved by the Attorney General of the State of Texas and that it
is a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, and has been registered by the Comptroller.
(f) Book -Entry Only System. The Certificates issued in exchange for the Certificate initially
issued to the initial purchaser specified herein shall be initially issued in the form of a separate single fully
registered Certificate for each of the maturities thereof. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such
Certificate shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company,
New York, New York ( "DTC "), and except as provided in subsection (f) hereof, all of the outstanding
Certificates shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
With respect to Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Issuer
and the Paying Agent /Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any securities brokers and
dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations on whose behalf
DTC was created ( "DTC Participant ") to hold securities to facilitate the clearance and settlement of
securities transactions among DTC Participants or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC
Participant holds an interest in the Certificates. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the
Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the
accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Certificates, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a
Registered Owner of Certificates, as shown on the Registration Books, of any notice with respect to the
Certificates, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a Registered
Owner of Certificates, as shown in the Registration Books of any amount with respect to principal of or
interest on the Certificates. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, the
Issuer and the Paying Agent /Registrar shall be entitled to treat and consider the person in whose name
each Certificate is registered in the Registration Books as the absolute owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of payment of principal and interest with respect to such Certificate, for the purpose of
registering transfers with respect to such Certificate, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying
Agent /Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on the Certificates only to or upon the order of the
Registered Owners, as shown in the Registration Books as provided in this Ordinance, or their respective
attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and
discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to payment of principal of and interest on the Certificates to
the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a Registered Owner, as shown in the
Registration Books, shall receive a Certificate evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments
of principal and interest pursuant to this Ordinance. Upon delivery by DTC to the Paying Agent /Registrar
of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede &
Co., and subject to the provisions in this Ordinance with respect to interest checks being mailed to the
Registered Owner at the close of business on the Record Date, the words "Cede & Co." in this Ordinance
shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
The previous execution and delivery of the Blanket Letter of Representations with respect to
obligations of the Issuer is hereby ratified and confirmed; and the provisions thereof shall be fully
applicable to the Certificates.
(g) Successor Securities Depository; Transfers Outside Book- Entry OnlyS. sue. In the event
that the Issuer determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its responsibilities described herein and in
the representations letter of the Issuer to DTC or that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners of
the Certificates that they be able to obtain certificated Certificates, the Issuer shall (i) appoint a successor
securities depository, qualified to act as such under Section 17A of the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, notify DTC and DTC Participants of the appointment of such successor securities
depository and transfer one or more separate Certificates to such successor securities depository or (ii)
notify DTC and DTC Participants of the availability through DTC of Certificates and transfer one or more
separate certificated Certificates to DTC Participants having Certificates credited to their DTC accounts.
In such event, the Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Registration Books in
the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in the name of the successor
securities depository, or its nominee, or in whatever name or names Registered Owners transferring or
exchanging Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.
(h) Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the
contrary, so long as any Certificate is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all
payments with respect to principal of and interest on such Certificate and all notices with respect to such
Certificate shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the representations letter of
the Issuer to DTC.
(i) Cancellation of Initial Certificate. On the closing date, one initial Certificate representing the
entire principal amount of the Certificates, payable in stated installments to the purchaser designated in
Section 10 or its designee, executed by manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor and City Clerk of the
Issuer, approved by the Attorney General of Texas, and registered and manually signed by the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, will be delivered to such purchaser or its designee.
Upon payment for the initial Certificate, the Paying Agent /Registrar shall cancel the initial Certificate and
deliver to the Depository Trust Company on behalf of such purchaser one registered definitive Certificate
for each year of maturity of the Certificates, in the aggregate principal amount of all of the Certificates for
such maturity.

Years Principal Amounts Interest Rates
(Information from Section 2 to be inserted)

specified above. Interest is payable on March 1, 2012, and semiannually on each September 1 and March

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 -1."
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
PAGE 13 OF 28 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7C
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 ", with such Surplus Revenues from the
waterworks and sewer system not to exceed $1,000. 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)(1) 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)(1) 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 (i) direct, noncallable obligations of the United
States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of
America., (ii) noncallable 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) noncallable obligations of a state or
an agency or a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and
that, on the date 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
shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent /Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft
or destruction of such Certificate, as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a
Certificate, the registered owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent /Registrar for cancellation the
Certificate so damaged or mutilated.
(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
such Certificates in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 3(a) of this Ordinance
for Certificates issued in conversion and exchange for other Certificates.

issued and delivered hereunder and all necessary records and proceedings pertaining to the Certificates
pending their delivery and their investigation, examination, and approval by the Attorney General of the
State of Texas, and their registration by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas. Upon
registration of the Certificates said Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a deputy designated in writing to
act for said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate attached to such
Certificates, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile, on such
Certificate. The approving legal opinion of the Issuer's Bond Counsel and the assigned CUSIP numbers
may, at the option of the Issuer, be printed on the Certificates issued and delivered under this Ordinance,
but neither shall have any legal effect, and shall be solely for the convenience and information of the
registered owners of the Certificates. In addition, if bond insurance is obtained, the Certificates may bear
an appropriate legend as provided by the insurer.
(b) The obligation of the initial purchaser to accept delivery of the Certificates is subject to the
initial purchaser being furnished with the final, approving opinion of McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P.,
bond counsel to the Issuer, which opinion shall be dated as of and delivered on the date of initial delivery
of the Certificates to the initial purchaser. The engagement of such firm as bond counsel to the Issuer in
connection with issuance, sale and delivery of the Certificates is hereby approved and confirmed. The
execution and delivery of an engagement letter between the Issuer and such firm, with respect to such
services as bond counsel, is hereby authorized in such form as may be approved by the Mayor, and the
Mayor is hereby authorized to execute such engagement letter.
Section 9. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON THE
CERTIFICATES.
(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 an obligation 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 ofthe 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); and
(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.
(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
certificateholders. 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 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 Project. The Issuer covenants to
account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings to be used for the construction and
acquisition of the Project 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 Project is 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 Project. The Issuer covenants that the Project 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.
(f) Designation as Qualified Tax - Exempt Obligations. The Issuer hereby designates the Bonds as
"qualified tax- exempt obligations" as defined in section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In furtherance of such
designation, the Issuer represents, covenants and warrants the following: (a) that during the calendar year
in which the Bonds are issued, the Issuer (including any subordinate entities) has not designated nor will
designate obligations that when aggregated with the Bonds, will result in more than $10,000,000 of
"qualified tax - exempt obligations" being issued; (b) that the Issuer reasonably anticipates that the amount
of tax - exempt obligations issued, during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued, by the Issuer (or
any subordinate entities) will not exceed $10,000,000; and, (c) that the Issuer will take such action or
refrain from such action as necessary, and as more particularly set forth in this Section, hereof, in order
that the Bonds will not be considered "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the
Code.
Section 10. SALE OF CERTIFICATES AND APPROVAL OF OFFICIAL STATEMENT;
FURTHER PROCEDURES.
(a) The Certificates are hereby sold and shall be delivered to RBC Capital Markets Corporation (
the "Purchaser" or the "Underwriter "), pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Purchase Agreement, in

deliver. It is hereby officially found, determined, and declared that the terms of this sale are the most

a Paying Agent /Registrar Agreement with the Paying Agent /Registrar and all other instruments, whether
or not herein mentioned, as may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of
this Ordinance, the Certificates, the sale of the Certificates and the Official Statement. In case any officer
whose signature shall appear on any Certificate shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such
Certificate, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such
officer had remained in office until such delivery.
Section 11. INTEREST EARNINGS ON CERTIFICATE PROCEEDS. Interest earnings
derived from the investment of proceeds from the sale of the Certificates shall be used along with other
certificate proceeds for the Project; provided that after completion of such purpose, if any of such interest
earnings remain on hand, such interest earnings shall be deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund. It is
further provided, however, that any interest earnings on certificate proceeds that are required to be rebated

being arbitrage bonds shall be so rebated and not considered as interest earnings for the purposes of this
Section.

and construction of the Project as hereinbefore provided, and to pay the costs of issuance of the
Certificates. Upon payment of all such costs, any moneys remaining on deposit in said Fund shall be
transferred to the Interest and Sinking Fund. Amounts so deposited to the Interest and Sinking Fund shall
be used in the manner described in Section 5 of this Ordinance.

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
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.
(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, (v) 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 (vi) 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 and cause notice of the proposed amendment to be published at least once in a financial
publication published in The City of New York, New York or in the State of Texas. Such published
notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed amendment and shall state that a copy thereof is on
file at the office of the Issuer for inspection by all holders of such Certificates.
(d) Whenever at any time within one year from the date of publication 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 publication of the notice 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 the publication
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.

when the same becomes due and payable; or
(ii) default in the performance or observance of any other covenant, agreement or
obligation of the City, the failure to perform which materially, adversely affects the rights of the

official capacityifor the purpose of protecting and enforcing the rights of the Registered Owners
under this Ordinance, by mandamus or other suit, action or special proceeding in equity or at law,
in any court of competent jurisdiction, for any relief permitted by law, including the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or thereby to enjoin any act or thing
that may be unlawful or in violation of any right of the Registered Owners hereunder or any
combination of such remedies.

equal benefit of all Registered Owners of Certificates then outstanding.
(c) Remedies Not Exclusive.

available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Certificates or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this
Ordinance, the right to accelerate the debt evidenced by the Certificates shall not be available as a
remedy under this Ordinance.

waiver of any other available remedy.

Registered Owner agrees that the certifications required to effectuate any covenants or
representations contained in this Ordinance do not and shall never constitute or give rise to a
personal or pecuniary liability or charge against the officers, employees or trustees of the City or
the City Council.

employee of the City, shall be charged personally by the Registered Owners with any liability, or

Section 18. SEVERABILITY. If any section, article, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase or word
in this Ordinance, or application thereof to any persons or circumstances is held invalid or
