(a) A special "Interestand 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 col(ected for and on account of said Certificates shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit of said Interest anc�inking 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 prov ide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of saicCertificates as such principal matures (but never less than 2% ofthe original amount of said Certificatesas 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 oftax 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 Interestand Sinking Fund. Said ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment ofthe interest on and principal of said Certificates, as such interestcomes due and such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law.

The Issuer sha(1 deposit such Surplus Revenues to the creditofthe Interestand Sinking Fund created pursuant to this Section, to the extent necessary to pay the principal and interest on the Certificates. Notwithstandingthe requirementsof Section 6, if Surplus Revenues or other lawfully avai(able moneys ofthe Issuer are actually on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund in advance of the time when ad valarem 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 ofthe taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the Issuer under this Section, is to be subject to th�iling 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.
