To provide for the payment of the Debt Service Requirements on the Obligations being (i) the interest on the Obligations and (ii) a sinking fund for their redemption at Stated Maturity or a sinking fund of 2% (whichever amount shall be the greater), there shall be and there is hereby levied for the current year and each succeeding year thereafter while the Obligations or any interest thereon shall remain Outstanding, a sufficient tax, within the limitations prescribed by law, on each one hundred dollars' valuation of taxable property in the Issuer, adequate to pay such Debt Service Requirements, full allowance being made for delinquencies and costs of collection; said tax shall be assessed and collected each year and applied to the payment of the Debt Service Requirements, and the same shall not be diverted to any other purpose. The taxes so levied and collected shall be paid into the Obligation Fund and are thereafter pledged to the payment of the Obligations. The Governing Body hereby declares its purpose and intent to provide and levy a tax legally and fully sufficient to pay such Debt Service Requirements, it having been determined that the existing and available taxing authority of the Issuer for such purpose is adequate to permit a legally sufficient tax in consideration of all other outstanding indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuer.

In addition, any surplus proceeds from the sale of the Obligations, including investment income thereon, not expended for authorized purposes, as described in Section 1 hereof shall be deposited in the Obligation Fund, and such amounts so deposited shall reduce the sums otherwise required to be deposited in said Fund from ad valorem taxes. SECTION 13: Security of Funds. All money on deposit in the Funds for which this Ordinance makes provision (except any portion thereof as may be at any time properly invested as provided herein) shall be secured in the manner and to the fullest extent required by the laws of the State of Texas for the security of public funds, and money on deposit in such Funds shall be used only for the purposes permitted by this Ordinance. SECTION 14: Remedies in Event of Default. In addition to all the rights and remedies provided by the laws of the State of Texas, the Issuer covenants and agrees particularly that in the event the Issuer (a) defaults in the payments to be made to the Obligation Fund or (b) defaults in the observance or performance of any other of the covenants, conditions, or obligations set forth in this Ordinance, the Holders of any of the Obligations shall be entitled to seek a writ of mandamus issued by a court of proper jurisdiction compelling and requiring the governing body of the Issuer and other officers of the Issuer to observe and perform any covenant, condition, or obligation prescribed in this Ordinance. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence therein, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. The specific remedies herein provided shall be cumulative of all other existing remedies and the specification of such remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive. SECTION 15: Notices to Holders -Waiver. Wherever this Ordinance provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and sent by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder as it appears in the Security Register. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice to any particular Holders, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to all other Holders. Where this Ordinance provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Holder entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event with respect to which such notice is given, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Paying Agent/Registrar, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of __ _ _ _ _ any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. SECTION 16: Cancellation. All Obligations surrendered for payment, transfer, exchange, or replacement, if surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar, shall be promptly canceled by it and, if surrendered to the Issuer, shall be delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar and, if not already canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Paying Agent/Registrar. The 85424070.5 16 Issuer may at any time deliver to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation any Obligations previously certified or registered and delivered which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Obligations so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Paying Agent/Registrar. All canceled Obligations held by the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be destroyed as directed by the Issuer. SECTION 17: Mutilated Destroyed, Lost, and Stolen Obli atm. If (1) any mutilated Obligation is surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar, or the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft of any Obligation, and (2) there is delivered to the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar that such Obligation has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and, upon its request, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall register and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Obligation, a new Obligation of the same Stated Maturity and interest rate and of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Upon the issuance of any new Obligation or payment in lieu thereof, under this Section, the Issuer may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent/Registrar) connected therewith. Every new Obligation issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Obligation shall constitute a replacement of the prior obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Obligation shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Obligations. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Obligations. SECTION 18: Sale of Obligations -Approval of Purchase Contract -Use of Proceeds. The Obligations authorized by this Ordinance are hereby sold by the Issuer to Schertz Bank & Trust, Schertz, Texas (the Purchasers, having all the rights, benefits, and obligations of a Holder) in accordance with the provisions of a Purchase and Investment Letter (the Purchase Contract), dated June 15, 2010, attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference as a part of this Ordinance for all purposes.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Issuer receives a written opinion of counsel nationally recognized in the field of municipal bond law to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income tax of the interest on any Obligation, the Issuer shall comply with each of the specific covenants in this Section. C. No Private Use or Private Pam. Except to the extent that it will not cause the Obligations to become "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the Issuer shall at all times prior to the last Stated Maturity of Obligations: (1) exclusively own, operate and possess all property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds of the Obligations, and not use or permit the use of such Gross Proceeds (including all contractual arrangements with terms different than those applicable to the general public) or any property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds in any activity carried on by any person or entity (including the United States or any agency, department and instrumentality thereof) other than a state or local government, unless such use is solely as a member of the general public; and (2) not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other payment by any person or entity who is treated as using Gross Proceeds of the Obligations or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with such Gross Proceeds, other than taxes of general application within the Issuer or interest earned on investments acquired with such Gross Proceeds pending application for their intended purposes.

In all cases, the rebate payments shall be made at the times, in the installments, to the place and in the manner as is or may be required by section. 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and _rulings thereunder, and shall be accompanied by Form 8038-T or such other forms and information as is or may be required by section 148(fj of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder. (4) The Issuer shall exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the calculations and payments required by paragraphs (2) and (3), and if an error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error within a reasonable amount of time thereafter (and in all events within one hundred eighty (180) days after discovery of the error), including payment to the United States of any additional Rebate Amount owed to it, interest thereon, and any penalty imposed under Section 1.148-3(h) of the Regulations. I. Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent permitted by section 148 of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the Issuer shall not, at any time prior to the earlier of the Stated Maturity or final payment of the Obligations, enter into any transaction that reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to Subsection H of this Section because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the transaction had been at arm's length and had the Yield of the Obligations not been relevant to either party.

SECTION 31: Incorporation of Preamble Recitals. The recitals contained in the preamble hereof are hereby found to be true, and such recitals are hereby made a part of this Ordinance for all purposes and are adopted as a part of the judgment and findings of the Governing Body. SECTION 32: Authorization of Pang Agent/Re ,istrar Agreement. The Governing Body of the Issuer hereby finds and determines that it is in the best interest of the Issuer to authorize the execution of a Paying Agent/Registrar Agreement concerning the payment, exchange, and transferability of the Obligations.

If, because of the temporary or permanent suspension of any newspaper, journal, or other publication, or, for any reason, publication of notice cannot be made meeting any requirements herein established, any notice required to be published by the provisions of this Ordinance shall be given in such other manner and at such time or times as in the judgment of the Issuer or of the Paying Agent/Registrar shall most effectively approximate such required publication and the giving of such notice in such manner shall for all purposes of this Ordinance be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements for publication thereof. SECTION 35: No Recourse Against Issuer Officials.

SECTION 36: Continuing Disclosure of Information. Definitions. As used in this Section, the following terms have the meanings ascribed to such terms below: Rule means SEC Rule 15c2-12, as amended from time to time. SEC means the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notes are being sold pursuant to a private placement with the Purchasers, generally in denominations of $100,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000 in excess thereof, to less than thirty-five sophisticated investors, and therefore SEC Rule 15c2-12 is not applicable to the offering of the Notes. Accordingly, no contract to provide continuing disclosure information after the issuance of the Notes has been made by the County with investors. SECTION 37: Book-Entry Onl~ystem. The Obligations may initially be registered so as to participate in a securities depository system (the DTC System) with the Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, or any successor entity thereto (DTC), as set forth herein. Each Stated Maturity of the Obligations shall be issued (following cancellation of the Initial Obligations described in Section 7) in the form of a separate single definitive Obligation. Upon issuance, the ownership of each such Obligation shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of DTC, and all of the Outstanding Obligations shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of DTC. The Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar are authorized to execute, deliver, and take the actions set forth in such letters to or agreements with DTC as shall be necessary to effectuate the DTC System, including the Letter of Representations attached hereto as Exhibit C (the Representation Letter). With respect to the Obligations 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 broker-dealer, bank, or other financial institution for which DTC holds the Obligations from time to time as securities depository (a Depository Participant) or to any person on behalf of whom such a Depository Participant holds an interest in the Obligations (an Indirect Participant). Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar 85424070.5 25 shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co., or any Depository Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Obligations, (ii) the delivery to any Depository Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of the Obligations, as shown on the Security Register, of any notice with respect to the Obligations, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the delivery to any Depository Participant or any Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a Holder of an Obligation, of any amount with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Obligations. While in the DTC System, no person other than Cede & Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for DTC, shall receive an Obligation evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal, premium, if any, 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 or drafts being mailed to the Holder, the word "Cede & Co." in this Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of DTC. In the event that (a) the Issuer determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the Representation Letter, (b) the Representation Letter shall be terminated for any reason, or (c) DTC or the Issuer determines that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the Obligations that they be able to obtain certificated Obligations, the Issuer shall notify the Paying Agent/Registrar, DTC, and the Depository Participants of the availability within a reasonable period of time through DTC of bond certificates, and the Obligations shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. At that time, the Issuer may determine that the Obligations shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a securities depository system, as may be acceptable to the Issuer, or such depository's agent or designee, and if the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar do not select such alternate securities depository system then the Obligations may be registered in whatever name or names the Holders of Obligations transferring or exchanging the Obligations shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.
