received, either by replacing the property destroyed or repairing the property damaged, and
adequate provision for making good such loss or damage must be made within ninety (90) days

as amended, Texas Government Code, or other applicable law. The Holders of the Certificates or
any duly authorized agent or agents of the Holders shall have the right to inspect the System and
all properties comprising the same. The City further agrees that, following the close of each Fiscal

the System are to be regarded as Maintenance and Operating Expenses.

provided by the laws of the State of Texas, the City covenants and agrees particularly that in the
event the City (a) defaults in the payments to be made to the Certificate Fund, or (b) defaults in

issued by a court of proper jurisdiction compelling and requiring the governing body of the City
and other officers of the City 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 20. Issuance of Prior Lien Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations, Subordinate
Lien Obligations, and Additional Limited Pledge Obligations. The City hereby expressly reserves

prior lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System;
B. Junior Lien Obligations payable from and equally and ratably secured by a lien on

any Additional Limited Pledge Obligations hereafter issued by the City; and
D. Additional Limited Pledge Obligations secured by a lien on and pledge of a limited
amount of the Net Revenues in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraph.

Limited Pledge Obligations, if issued and payable, in whole or in part, from Pledged Revenues
(defined in the same or similar terms as provided in Section 9 of this Ordinance or in the ordinances
authorizing the issuance of the currently outstanding Limited Pledge Obligations), shall not in any
event be construed to be payable from the Pledged Revenues authorized by this Ordinance or in
the respective ordinances authorizing the issuance of the currently outstanding Limited Pledge
Obligations to be budgeted and appropriated for the payment of the Certificates or the respective
ordinances authorizing the issuance of the currently outstanding Limited Pledge Obligations.
However, the lien on and pledge of the limited amount of Net Revenues securing, in part, the

C. as long as any Certificates or any interest thereon remain Outstanding, the City will
not sell, lease or encumber (except in the manner provided in Section 20 of this Ordinance) the
System or any substantial part thereof, provided that this covenant shall not be construed to prohibit

otherwise unsuited to the efficient operation of the System;
D. to the extent that it legally may, the City further covenants and agrees that, so long
as any of the Certificates, or any interest thereon, are Outstanding, no franchise shall be granted
for the installation or operation of any competing utility systems other than those owned by the
City, and the operation of any such systems by anyone other than the City is hereby prohibited;
and
E. no free service of the System shall be allowed, and should the City or any of its
agents or instrumentalities make use of the services and facilities of the System, payment of the
reasonable value thereof shall be made by the City out of funds from sources other than the
revenues and income of the System.

Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations, or Subordinate Lien Obligations. It is the intention of the
City Council and accordingly hereby recognized and stipulated that the provisions, agreements,
and covenants contained herein bearing upon the management and operations of the System, and
the administration and application of Gross Revenues derived from the operation thereof, shall to
the extent possible be harmonized with like provisions, agreements, and covenants contained in
the ordinances authorizing the issuance of any Prior Lien Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations, or
Subordinate Lien Obligations hereafter issued by the City, and to the extent of any irreconcilable
conflict between the provisions contained herein and in the ordinances authorizing the issuance of
any Prior Lien Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations, or Subordinate Lien Obligations, the
provisions, agreements and covenants contained therein shall prevail to the extent of such conflict
and be applicable to this Ordinance, especially the priority of rights and benefits conferred thereby
to the holders of any Prior Lien Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations, or Subordinate Lien
Obligations hereafter issued by the City. It is expressly recognized that prior to the issuance of
any Prior Lien Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations, or Subordinate Lien Obligations, the City
must comply with each of the conditions precedent contained in the respective ordinances
authorizing the issuance of the currently outstanding Limited Pledge Obligations and the
Certificates, as appropriate.
SECTION 23. 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.
730698815 -26-
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 24. Cancellation. All Certificates surrendered for payment, redemption,
transfer, exchange, or replacement, if surrendered to the Paying Agent /Registrar, shall be promptly
canceled by it and, if surrendered to the City, shall be delivered to the Paying Agent /Registrar and,

at any time deliver to the Paying Agent /Registrar for cancellation any Certificates previously
certified or registered and delivered which the City may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and all Certificates so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Paying Agent /Registrar. All
canceled Certificates held by the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be destroyed as directed by the City.
SECTION 25. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, and Stolen Certificates. If (1) any mutilated
Certificate is surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar, or the City and the Paying
Agent /Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft of any
Certificate, and (2) there is delivered to the City 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
City or the Paying Agent /Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the City 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 Certificate,
a new Certificate 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 Certificate has become or is about to
become due and payable, the City in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Certificate, pay
such Certificate.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate or payment in lieu thereof, under this Section,
the City 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 and charges (including
attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent/Registrar) connected therewith.
Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed,
lost, or stolen Certificate shall constitute a replacement of the prior obligation of the City, whether
or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Certificate 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 Certificates.
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 Certificates.

any Certificate 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 City 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 Certificate, the City
shall comply with each of the specific covenants in this Section.
C. No Private Use or Private Payments. Except as would not cause the Certificates to
become' private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Regulations
and rulings thereunder, the City shall at all times prior to the last Stated Maturity of Certificates:
(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 Certificates, and not use or permit the use of such Gross

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

to become "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of section 148 of the Code and the Regulations
and rulings thereunder, the City shall not at any time prior to the final Stated Maturity of the
Certificates 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 Certificates.
F. Not Federally Guaranteed. Except to the extent permitted by section 149(b) of the
Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not take or omit to take any action
which would cause the Certificates to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of section 149(b)
of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
G. Information Report. The City 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 City 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
Certificate is discharged. However, to the extent permitted by law, the City may
commingle Gross Proceeds of the Certificates with other money of the City, provided that
the City separately accounts for each receipt and expenditure of Gross Proceeds and the
obligations acquired therewith.
(2) Not less frequently than each Computation Date, the City 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 City shall maintain such calculations with its
official transcript of proceedings relating to the issuance of the Certificates until six years
after the final Computation Date.
(3) As additional consideration for the purchase of the Certificates 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 City shall pay to
the United States out of the Certificate 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
73069882.5 -31-
Certificates equals (1) 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(0 of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(4) The City 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 City shall not, at any time prior to the
earlier of the Stated Maturity or final payment of the Certificates, 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 Certificates not been relevant to
either party.
J. Certificates Not Hedge Bonds.
(1) The City reasonably expects to spend at least 85% of the spendable proceeds
of the Certificates within three years after such Certificates are issued.
(2) Not more than 50% of the proceeds of the Certificates will be invested in
Nonpurpose Investments having a substantially guaranteed Yield for a period of 4 years or
more.
K. Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes each Authorized Official, either
individually or any combination of them, to make elections permitted or required pursuant to the
provisions of the Code or the Regulations, as they deem necessary or appropriate in connection
with the Certificates, in the Certificate as to Tax Exemption or similar or other appropriate
certificate, form or document. Such elections shall be deemed to be made on the Closing Date.
SECTION 28. Control and Custody of Certificates. The Mayor of the City 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
Certificates 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
Certificates to the Purchasers.
Furthermore, each Authorized Official, either individually or any combination of them, is

SECTION 29. Satisfaction of Obligation of City. If the City 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 Certificates, at the times and in the manner stipulated in this Ordinance, then the pledge of
taxes levied and the lien on and pledge of the Pledged Revenues under this Ordinance and all
covenants, agreements, and other obligations of the City to the Holders shall thereupon cease,
terminate, and be discharged and satisfied.
Certificates, 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
in full such Certificates or the principal amount(s) thereof at Stated Maturity or to the redemption
date therefor, together with all 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

authorized escrow agent, which Government Securities have, in the case of a net defeasance, been
certified by an independent accounting firm or another qualified financial institution (including
the City's financial advisor) 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
Certificates, or the principal amount(s) thereof, on and prior to the Stated Maturity thereof or (if
notice of redemption has been duly given or waived or if irrevocable arrangements therefor

Certificates. In the event of a defeasance of the Certificates, the City 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 Certificate. As and to the extent applicable, if
at all, the City 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 Certificates to be treated
as arbitrage bonds within the meaning of section 148 of the Code (as defined in Section 27 hereof).
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 agent,

amendments or interpretations of the Rule to the date of such amendment, as well as such changed
circumstances, and (2) either (a) the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount (or any

so amends the provisions of this Section, the City shall include with any amended financial

SECTION 45. Book - Entry. sue.
The Certificates shall 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 Certificates shall
be issued (following cancellation of the Initial Certificates described in Section 7) in the form of a
single definitive Certificate. Upon issuance, the ownership of each such Certificate shall be
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of DTC, and all of the Outstanding
Certificates shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of DTC. The City and
the Paying Agent /Registrar are authorized to execute, deliver, and take the actions set forth in such
73069882.5 -39-
letters to or agreements with DTC as shall be necessary to effectuate the DTC System, including
the Letter of Representations attached hereto as Exhibit D (the Representation Letter).
With respect to the Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC,
the City 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 Certificates 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 Certificates (an Indirect Participant).
Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the City 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
Certificates, (ii) the delivery to any Depository Participant or any other person, other than a
registered owner of the Certificates, as shown on the Security Register, of any notice with respect
to the Certificates, 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 a Certificate, of
any amount with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Certificates. While in
the DTC System, no person other than Cede & Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for DTC,
shall receive a bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the City 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 City 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 City determines that it is in the best interest
of the beneficial owners of the Certificates that they be able to obtain certificated Certificates, the
City 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
Certificates shalt no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee
of DTC. At that time, the City may determine that the Certificates shall be registered in the name
of and deposited with a successor depository operating a securities depository system, as may be
acceptable to the City, or such depository's agent or designee, and if the City and the Paying
Agent /Registrar do not select such alternate securities depository system then the Certificates may
be registered in whatever name or names the Holders of Certificates transferring or exchanging
the Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.
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, premium, if any, 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
Representation Letter.
SECTION 46. Further Procedures. The officers and employees of the City 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

necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Ordinance, the initial
sale and delivery of the Certificates, the Official Bid Form, the Paying Agent /Registrar Agreement,

this Ordinance and as described in the Official Statement 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 Certificates by the Texas Attorney General's office. In case any
officer of the City 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 47. Contracts with Financial Advisor and /or Bond Counsel. The City Council
authorizes any Authorized Official, or their designees, to take all actions necessary to execute any
necessary financial advisory contracts with SAMCO Capital Markets, Inc., as the financial advisor
to the City (the Financial Advisor). The City understands that under applicable federal securities
laws and regulations that the City must have a contractual arrangement with its Financial Advisor
relating to the sate, issuance, and delivery of the Certificates. In addition, the City Council also
authorizes the Mayor, the Mayor Pro Tem, and /or the City Manager, or their designees, to take all
actions necessary to execute any necessary engagement agreement with Norton Rose Fulbright US
LLP, as the Bond Counsel to the City.
SECTION 48. City's Consent to Provide Information and Documentation to the Texas
MAC. The Municipal Advisory Council of Texas (the Texas MAC), a non -profit membership
corporation organized exclusively for non - profit purposes described in section 501(c)(6) of the
Internal Revenue Code and which serves as a comprehensive financial information repository
regarding municipal debt issuers in Texas, requires provision of written documentation regarding
the issuance of municipal debt by the issuers thereof. In support of the purpose of the Texas MAC
and in compliance with applicable law, the City hereby consents to and authorizes any Authorized
Official, Bond Counsel to the City, and /or Financial Advisor to the City to provide to the Texas
MAC information and documentation requested by the Texas MAC relating to the Certificates;
provided, however, that no such information and documentation shall be provided prior to the
Closing Date. This consent and authorization relates only to information and documentation that
is a part of the public record concerning the issuance of the Certificates.
SECTION 49. Effective Date. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1201.028, as
amended, Texas Government Code, this Ordinance shall be effective immediately upon adoption,
notwithstanding any provision in the City's Home Rule Charter to the contrary concerning a
multiple reading requirement for the adoption of ordinances.
