principal amount thereof to be redeemed) so called for redemption shall become due and payable,

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 City covenants and agrees particularly that in the
event the City (a) defaults in the payments to be made to the Bond 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 Bonds shall be entitled to seek a writ of mandamus 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 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 appearing 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.
SECTION 16. Cancellation. All Bonds 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, if not
already canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Paying Agent/Registrar. The City may at any
time deliver to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation any Bonds previously certified or
registered and delivered which the City may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all
Bonds so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Paying Agent/Registrar. All canceled Bonds
held by the Paying Agent /Registrar shall be destroyed as directed by the City.
SECTION 17. Mutilated. Destroyed. Lost. and Stolen Bonds. If (1) any mutilated Bond 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 Bond, 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 Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the City shall execute and, upon the City's
request, the Paying Agent /Registrar shall register and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the same Stated Maturity and
interest rate and of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously
Outstanding.
82636683.4 19
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond has become or is about to
become due and payable, the City in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Bond, pay such
Bond.
Upon the issuance of any new Bond 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 Bond issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost,
or stolen Bond shall constitute a replacement of the prior obligation of the City, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond 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 Bonds.
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 Bonds.

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 Bond
is discharged. However, to the extent permitted by law, the City may commingle Gross
Proceeds of the Bonds 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 Bonds until six years after
the final Computation Date.
(3) As additional consideration for the purchase of the Bonds 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 Bond 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 Bonds 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
82636683.4 24
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 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 Arbitra{.,.e 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 Bonds, 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 Bonds not been relevant to either
party.
J. Bonds Not Hed ,-, e Bonds.
(1) At the time the original bonds refunded by the Bonds were issued, the City
reasonably expected to spend at least 85% of the spendable proceeds of such bonds within
three years after such bonds were issued.
(2) Not more than 50% of the proceeds of the original bonds refunded by the
Bonds were invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a substantially guaranteed Yield
for a period of 4 years or more.
K. Qualified Current Refunding The Bonds are issued, in part, to refund the Refunded
Obligations, and the Bonds will be issued, and certain proceeds thereof used, within 90 days after
the Closing Date for the redemption of the Refunded Obligations. In the issuance of the Bonds,
the City has employed no "device" to obtain a material financial advantage (based on arbitrage),
within the meaning of section 149(d)(4) of the Code, apart from savings attributable to lower
interest rates. The City has complied with the covenants, representations, and warranties contained
in the documents executed in connection with the issuance of the Refunded Obligations.
Accordingly, the City expects to invest the Bond proceeds to be used to refund the Refunded
Obligations without regard to Yield restrictions.
L. Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes any Authorized Official, 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 Bonds. Such elections shall be deemed to be made on the Closing Date.
82636683.4 25
M. oualified Tax- Exemt)t Obligations. The City hereby designates the Bonds as
qualified tax- exempt obligations for purposes of section 265(b) of the Code. In furtherance of such
designation, the City represents, covenants and warrants the following: (a) during the calendar year
in which the Bonds are issued, the City (including any subordinate entities) has not designated nor
will designate obligations, which when aggregated with the Bonds, will result in more than
$10,000,000 of "qualified tax- exempt obligations" being issued; (b) the City reasonably anticipates
that the amount of tax- exempt obligations issued during the calendar year 2020 by the City
(including any subordinate entities) will not exceed $10,000,000; and (c) the City will take such
action or refrain from such action as is necessary in order that the Bonds will not be considered
"private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code.
SECTION 22. Control and Custody_ of Bonds. 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 Bonds
pending their approval by the Attorney General, the registration thereof by the Comptroller of
Public Accounts and the delivery of the Bonds to the Purchasers.
Furthermore, any Authorized Official, either or all, are hereby authorized and directed to
furnish and execute such documents relating to the City and its financial affairs as may be
necessary for the issuance of the Bonds, the approval of the Attorney General and their registration
by the Comptroller of Public Accounts and, together with the City's financial advisors, Bond
Counsel, and the Paying Agent/Registrar, make the necessary arrangements for the delivery of the
Initial Bonds to the Purchasers and the initial exchange thereof for definitive Bonds.
SECTION 23. Satisfaction of Obli-ation of Cite. 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 Bonds, 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 City to the
Holders shall thereupon cease, terminate, and be discharged and satisfied.
Bonds, 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 Bonds or the principal amount(s) thereof on or prior to 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 Securities shall have been irrevocably deposited in trust with the Paying
Agent /Registrar, or an authorized escrow agent, which Government Securities will 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 Bonds, 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 acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar have been made) the
redemption date thereof for the Bonds. In the event of a defeasance of the Bonds, the City shall
deliver a certificate from its financial advisor, the Paying Agent/Registrar, an independent
accounting firm, 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 Bonds. To the extent applicable, if at all, the City covenants that no deposit of money or
82636683.4 26
Government Securities will be made under this Section and no use made of any such deposit which
would cause the Bonds to be treated as arbitrage bonds within the meaning of section 148 of the
Code (as defined in Section 21 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,
pursuant to this Section which is not required for the payment of the Bonds, or any principal
amount(s) thereof, or interest thereon with respect to which such money has been so deposited
shall be remitted to the City or deposited as directed by the City. Furthermore, any money held
by the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and
remaining unclaimed for a period of three (3) years after the Stated Maturity of the Bonds or
applicable redemption date, such money was deposited and is held in trust to pay shall upon the
request of the City be remitted to the City against a written receipt therefor, subject to the
unclaimed property laws of the State of Texas.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, it is hereby provided
that any determination not to redeem defeased Bonds that is made in conjunction with the payment
arrangements specified in subsection (i) or (ii) above shall not be irrevocable, provided that: (1) in
the proceedings providing for such defeasance, the Issuer expressly reserves the right to call the
defeased Bonds for redemption; (2) gives notice of the reservation of that right to the owners of
the defeased Bonds immediately following the defeasance; (3) directs that notice of the reservation
be included in any redemption notices that it authorizes; and (4) at the time of the redemption,
satisfies the conditions of (i) or (ii) above with respect to such defeased debt as though it was being
defeased at the time of the exercise of the option to redeem the defeased Bonds, after taking the
redemption into account in determining the sufficiency of the provisions made for the payment of
the defeased Bonds.
SECTION 24. Printed Opinion. The Purchasers' obligation to accept delivery of the Bonds
is subject to its being furnished a final opinion of Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP, San Antonio,
Texas, as Bond Counsel, approving certain legal matters as to the Bonds, said opinion to be dated

correct copy of said opinion on the reverse side of each of the Bonds, with appropriate certificate
pertaining thereto executed by facsimile signature of the City Secretary of the City is hereby
approved and authorized.
SECTION 25. CUSIP Numbers. CUSIP numbers may be printed or typed on the definitive
Bonds. It is expressly provided, however, that the presence or absence of CUSIP numbers on the

other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the

The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the Holders 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 City 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 City's financial
results, condition, or prospects or hereby undertake to update any information provided in

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

changed circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements, a change in law, or a change

primary offering of the Bonds in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any 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
greater amount required by any other provision of this Ordinance that authorizes such an
amendment) of the Outstanding Bonds consent to such amendment or (b) a person that is
82636683.4 32
unaffiliated with the City (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determines that such
amendment will not materially impair the interests of the Holders and beneficial owners of the
Bonds. The City may also repeal or amend the provisions of this Section if the SEC amends or
repeals the applicable provisions of the Rule or any court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that
such provisions of the Rule are invalid, and the City also may amend the provisions of this Section
in its discretion in any other manner or circumstance, but in either case only if and to the extent
that the provisions of this sentence would not have prevented an underwriter from lawfully

amends the provisions of this Section, the City shall include with any amended financial
information or operating data next provided in accordance with this Section an explanation, in
narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of
financial information or operating data so provided.

set forth in full in one or more documents or may be included by specific reference to any document
(including an official statement or other offering document) available to the public through EMMA
or filed with the SEC.
F. General Policies and Procedures Concerning Compliance with the Rule.
Because the issuance of the Bonds is subject to the provisions of the Rule and because the
potential "underwriters" in a negotiated sale of the Bonds or the initial purchasers in a competitive
sale of the Bonds may be subject to MSRB rules and regulations with respect to such sale
(including certain due diligence and suitability requirements, among others), the City hereby
adopts the General Policies and Procedures Concerning Compliance with the Rule (the "Policies
and Procedures "), attached hereto as Exhibit G, with which the City shall follow to assure
compliance with the Undertaking. The City has developed these Policies and Procedures for the
purpose of meeting its requirements of the Undertaking and, in connection therewith, has sought
the guidance from its internal staff charged with administering the City's financial affairs, its
municipal or financial advisors, its legal counsel (including its Bond Counsel), and its independent
accountants (to the extent determined to be necessary or advisable). The Policies and Procedures
can be amended at the sole discretion of the City and any such amendment will not be deemed to
be an amendment to the Undertaking. Each Authorized Official is hereby authorized to amend the
Policies and Procedures as a result of a change in law, a future issuance of indebtedness subject to
the Rule, or another purpose determined by the Authorized Official to be necessary or desirable
for or with respect to future compliance with the Undertaking.
82636683.4 33
SECTION 39. Book -Entn OnIN- System.
The Bonds initially shall 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 Bonds shall be issued
(following cancellation of the Initial Bonds described in Section 7) in the form of a separate single
definitive Bond. Upon issuance, the ownership of each such Bond shall be registered in the name
of Cede & Co., as the nominee of DTC, and all of the Outstanding Bonds 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 letters to or agreements with
DTC as shall be necessary to effectuate the DTC System, including the Letter of Representations
attached hereto as Exhibit F (the Representation Letter).
With respect to the Bonds 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 Bonds 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 Bonds (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 Bonds, (ii) the delivery to
any Depository Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of the Bonds, as
shown on the Security Register, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, 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 Bond, of any amount with respect to principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on the Bonds. 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 Bonds that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds, 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 Bonds shall 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 Bonds 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

General Policies and Procedures Concerning Compliance with the Rule
I. Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit have the meanings ascribed thereto in Section 38 of
the Ordinance. "Bonds" refer to the Bonds that are the subject of the Ordinance to which this
Exhibit is attached.
II. As a capital markets participant, the City is aware of its continuing disclosure requirements
and obligations existing under the Rule prior to February 27, 2019, the effective date of the most
recent amendment to the Rule (the "Effective Date "), and has implemented and maintained internal
policies, processes, and procedures to ensure compliance therewith. Adherence to these internal
policies, processes, and procedures has enabled underwriters in non - exempt negotiated sales and
initial purchasers in non - exempt competitive sales to comply with their obligations arising under
various MSRB rules and regulations concerning due diligence and findings of suitability, among
other matters, regarding the City's compliance with the Rule.
III. The City is aware that the Rule was amended as of the Effective Date (the "Rule
Amendment ") and has accommodated this amendment by adding paragraphs (15) and (16) to
Section 38C of the Ordinance, which provisions are a part of the Undertaking.
IV. The City is aware that "participating underwriters" (as such term is defined in the Rule) of
the Bonds must make inquiry and reasonably believe that the City is likely to comply with the
Undertaking and that the standards for determining compliance have increased over time as a result
of, among others, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's Municipalities
Continuing Disclosure Cooperation Initiative and regulatory commentary relating to the
effectiveness of the Rule Amendment.
V. The City now establishes the following general policies and procedures (the "Policies and
Procedures ") for satisfying its obligations pursuant to the Undertaking, which policies and
procedures have been developed based on the City's informal policies, procedures, and processes
utilized prior to the Effective Date for compliance with the City's obligations under the Rule, the
advice from and discussions with the City's internal senior staff (including staff charged with
administering the City's financial affairs), its municipal or financial advisors, its legal counsel
(including Bond Counsel), and its independent accountants, to the extent determined to be
necessary or advisable (collectively, the "Compliance Team "):
1. the City Manager and the Director of Finance of the City (each, a "Compliance
Officer ") shall be responsible for satisfying the City's obligations pursuant to the
Undertaking through adherence to these Policies and Procedures;
2. the Compliance Officer shall establish reminder or "tickler" systems to identify and
timely report to the MSRB, in the format thereby prescribed from time to time, the
City's information of the type described in Section 38B of the Ordinance;
3. the Compliance Officer shall promptly determine the occurrence of any of the
events described in Section 38C of the Ordinance;
82636683.4 G -1
4. the Compliance Officer shall work with external consultants of the City, as and to
the extent necessary, to timely prepare and file with the MSRB the annual
information of the City and notice of the occurrence of any of the events referenced
in Clauses 2 and 3 above, respectively, the foregoing being required to satisfy the
terms of the Undertaking;
the Compliance Officer shall establish a system for identifying and monitoring any
Financial Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter entered into by the City,
and (upon identification) determining if such Financial Obligation has the potential
to materially impact the security or source of repayment of the Bonds;
upon identification of any Financial Obligation meeting the materiality standard
identified in Clause 5 above, the Compliance Officer shall establish a process for
identifying and monitoring any City agreement to covenants, events of default,
remedies, priority rights, or other similar terms under such Financial Obligation;
7_ the Compliance Officer shall establish a process for identifying the occurrence of
any default, event of acceleration, termination event, modification of terms, or other
similar events under the terms of any Financial Obligation, the occurrence of any
of which reflect financial difficulties of the City; and
8. the Compliance Officer shall annually review these Policies and Procedures with
the remainder of the Compliance Team, make any modifications on an internal
document retained by the Compliance Officer and available to any "participating
underwriter" (as defined in the Rule), if requested, and on the basis of this annual
review (to the extent determined to be necessary or desirable), seek additional
training for herself or himself, as well as other members of the City's internal staff
identified by the Compliance Officer to assist with the City's satisfaction of the
terms and provisions of the Undertaking.
