2015, INTEREST AND SINKING FUND" (the Obligation Fund), which Fund shall be kept and
maintained at the Depository, and money deposited in such Fund shall be used for no other

the Obligation Fund an amount sufficient to pay the amount of principal and /or interest stated to
mature on the Obligations, such transfer of funds to the Paying Agent /Registrar to be made in
such manner as will cause immediately available funds to be deposited with the Paying
Agent /Registrar on or before the business day next preceding each interest and principal payment
date for the Obligations.

and established by this Ordinance, at the option of the Issuer, may be placed in time deposits,
certificates of deposit, guaranteed investment contracts, or similar contractual agreements, as
permitted by the provisions of the Public Funds Investment Act, as amended, Chapter 2256,

any law, including investments held in book -entry form, in securities including, but not limited
to, direct obligations of the United States of America, obligations guaranteed or insured by the
United States of America, which, in the opinion of the Attorney General of the United States, are
backed by its full faith and credit or represent its general obligations, or invested in indirect
obligations of the United States of America, including, but not limited to, evidences of
indebtedness issued, insured or guaranteed by such governmental agencies as the Federal Land
Banks, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Banks for Cooperatives, Federal Home Loan Banks,
Government National Mortgage Association, Farmers Home Administration, Federal Home

interest and income derived from deposits and investments in such Fund shall be credited to, and
any losses debited to, such Fund. All such investments shall be sold promptly when necessary to
prevent any default in connection with the Obligations.
SECTION 11: Tax Levy. 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.
SECTION 12: Deposits to Obligation Fund — Surplus Obligation Proceeds, The Issuer
hereby covenants and agrees to cause to be deposited in the Obligation Fund prior to a principal
and interest payment date for the Obligations, from the annual levy of an ad valorem tax or from
other lawfully available funds, amounts sufficient to fully pay and discharge promptly each
52303410.2 16
installment of interest and principal of the Obligations as the same accrues or matures or comes
due by reason of Stated Maturity.
Accrued interest, if any, received from the Purchasers of the Obligations shall be
deposited to the Obligation Fund. 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 Fetid, 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 at the close of business on the
business day next preceding the mailing of such notice.
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.
823034101 17
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
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 Obligations. 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.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Obligation has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Obligation,
pay such Obligation.
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.

82303410.2 19

of, or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any other amounts (or any property the acquisition,
construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with
Gross Proceeds) in a manner which if made or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on
any Obligations to become includable in the gross income, as defined in section 61 of the Code,
of the owner thereof for federal income tax 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 Payments. 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
82303410,2 20
(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.
D. No Private Loan. 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 not use Gross Proceeds of the Obligations to
make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For
purposes of the foregoing covenant, such Gross Proceeds are considered to be "loaned" to a
person or entity if: (i) property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds is
sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction which creates a debt for federal income tax
purposes; (ii) capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity
under a take -or -pay, output or similar contract or arrangement; or (iii) indirect benefits, or
burdens and benefits of ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or any property acquired, constructed
or improved with such Gross Proceeds are otherwise transferred in a transaction which is the
economic equivalent of a loan.

Obligations to become "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of section 148 of the Code and the
Regulations and rulings thereunder, the Issuer shall not at any time prior to the final Stated
Maturity of the Obligations directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds in any Investment, if as a
result of such investment the Yield of any Investment acquired with Gross Proceeds, whether
then held or previously disposed of, materially exceeds the Yield of the Obligations.
F. Not Federally Guaranteed. Except to the extent permitted by section 149(b) of the
Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the Issuer shall not take or omit to take any
action which would cause the Obligations to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of
section 149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
G. Information Report. The Issuer shall timely file the information required by
section 149(e) of the Code with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038 -G or such other
form and in such place as the Secretary may prescribe.
H. Rebate of Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent otherwise provided in
section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder:
(1) The Issuer shall account for all Gross Proceeds (including all receipts,
expenditures and investments thereof) on its books of account separately and apart from
all other funds (and receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) and shall retain all
records of accounting for at least six years after the day on which the last Outstanding
Obligation is discharged. However, to the extent permitted by law, the Issuer may
commingle Gross Proceeds of the Obligations with other money of the Issuer, provided
that the Issuer separately accounts for each receipt and expenditure of Gross Proceeds
and the obligations acquired therewith.
82303410.2 21
(2) Not less frequently than each Computation Date, the Issuer shall calculate
the Rebate Amount in accordance with rules set forth in section 148(f) of the Code and
the Regulations and rulings thereunder. The Issuer shall maintain such calculations with
its official transcript of proceedings relating to the issuance of the Obligations until six
years after the final Computation Date.
(3) As additional consideration for the purchase of the Obligations by the
Purchasers and the loan of the money represented thereby and in order to induce such
purchase by measures designed to insure the excludability of the interest thereon from the
gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, the Issuer shall pay
to the United States out of the Obligation Fund or its general fund, as permitted by
applicable Texas statute, regulation or opinion of the Attorney General of the State of
Texas, the amount that when added to the future value of previous rebate payments made
for the Obligations equals (i) in the case of a Final Computation Date as defined in
Section 1.148- 3(e)(2) of the Regulations, one hundred percent (100 %) of the Rebate
Amount on such date; and (ii) in the case of any other Computation Date, ninety percent
(90 %) of the Rebate Amount on such date. 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(f) 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.
L 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.
J. Obligations Not Hedge Bonds.
(1) The Issuer reasonably expects to spend at least 85% of the spendable
proceeds of the Obligations within three years after such Obligations are issued.
(2) Not more than 50% of the proceeds of the Obligations will be invested in
Nonpurpose Investments having a substantially guaranteed Yield for a period of 4 years
or more.

either or any combination of the foregoing, to make such elections in the Certificate as to Tax
Exemption or similar or other appropriate certificate, form, or document permitted or required
pursuant to the provisions of the Code or the Regulations, as they deem necessary or appropriate
in connection with the Obligations. Such elections shall be deemed to be made on the Closing
Date.
SECTION 20: Control and Custody of Obligations. The Mayor shall be and is hereby
authorized to take and have charge of all necessary orders and records pending investigation by
the Attorney General of the State of Texas and shall take and have charge and control of the
Obligations pending their approval by the Attorney General of the State of Texas, the registration
thereof by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas and the delivery of the
Obligations to the Purchasers.
Furthermore, any Authorized Official, either or all, are hereby authorized and directed to

of Texas and their registration by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas and,

make the necessary arrangements for the delivery of the Initial Obligations to the Purchasers and
the initial exchange thereof for definitive Obligations.
SECTION 21: Satisfaction of Obligation of Issuer. If the Issuer shall pay or cause to be
paid, or there shall otherwise be paid to the Holders, the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Obligations, at the times and in the manner stipulated in this Ordinance, then the
pledge of taxes levied under this Ordinance and all covenants, agreements, and other obligations
of the Issuer to the Holders shall thereupon cease, terminate, and be discharged and satisfied.
Obligations, or any principal amount(s) thereof, shall be deemed to have been paid within
the meaning and with the effect expressed above in this Section when (i) money sufficient to pay

interest due thereon, shall have been irrevocably deposited with and held in trust by the Paying
Agent /Registrar, or an authorized escrow agent, and /or (ii) Government Securities shall have
been irrevocably deposited in trust with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or an authorized escrow
agent, which Government Securities have, in the case of a net defeasance, been certified by an
independent accounting firm to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such
times as will insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money, together with any
money deposited therewith, if any, to pay when due the principal of and interest on such
Obligations, or the principal amount(s) thereof, at the Stated Maturity thereof. In the event of a
gross defeasance of the Obligations, the Issuer shall deliver a certificate from its financial
advisor, the Paying Agent /Registrar, or another qualified third party concerning the deposit of
cash and /or Government Securities to pay, when due, the principal of, redemption premium (if
any), and interest due on any defeased Obligations. The Issuer covenants that no deposit of
money or Government Securities will be made under this Section and no use made of any such
deposit which would cause the Obligations to be treated as arbitrage bonds within the meaning of
section 148 of the Code (as defined in Section 19 hereof).
82303410.2 23
Any money so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar, and all income from
Government Securities held in trust by the Paying Agent /Registrar, or an authorized escrow

Rule means SEC Rule 15c2 -12, as amended from time to time.
SEC means the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Obligations 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 Obligations. Accordingly, no contract to provide continuing disclosure
information after the issuance of the Obligations has been made by the Issuer with investors.
SECTION 37: Book -Entry Onlyy, sue.
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 D "PC as shall be necessary to effectuate the DTC System,
including the Letter of Representations attached hereto as Exhibit C (the Representation Getter).
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
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
82303410.2 26
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, or interest on the Obligations 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.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any
Obligation is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with
respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Obligation and all notices with
respect to such Obligation shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the
Representation Letter,
SECTION 38: Further Procedures. The officers and employees of the Issuer are hereby
authorized, empowered and directed from time to time and at any time to do and perform all such
acts and things and to execute, acknowledge and deliver in the name and under the corporate seal
and on behalf of the Issuer all such 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 initial
sale and delivery of the Obligations, the Paying Agent /Registrar Agreement, and the Purchase
Contract. In addition, prior to the initial delivery of the Obligations, any Authorized Official and

Ordinance necessary in order to (i) correct any ambiguity or mistake or properly or more
completely document the transactions contemplated and approved by this Ordinance, (ii) obtain a
rating from any of the national bond rating agencies, or (iii) obtain the approval of the
Obligations by the Texas Attorney General's office. In case any officer of the Issuer whose
signature shall appear on any certificate shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such
82303410.2 27
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 39: Contracts with Financial Advisor and /or Bond Counsel. The City Council
authorizes the Mayor and /or the City Manager, or their designees, to take all actions necessary to
execute any necessary financial advisory contracts with Southwest Securities, Inc., as the
