sufficient to pay the said Debt Service Requirements, it having been determined that the existing

sufficient tax in consideration of all other outstanding indebtedness.

interest on the Certificates shall be determined and accomplished in the following manner:
A. Prior to the date the City Council establishes the annual tax rate and passes an
ordinance levying ad valorem taxes each year, the City Council shall determine:

the Certificates between the Collection Date for the taxes then to be levied and the Collection
Date for the taxes to be levied during the next succeeding calendar year;

the total amount of Debt Service Requirements to become due on Certificates prior to the
Collection Date for the ad valorem taxes to be levied and (b) adding thereto the amount of the
Pledged Revenues, if any, to be appropriated and allocated during such year to pay such Debt
Service Requirements, if any, prior to the Collection Date for the ad valorem taxes to be levied;
and
(3) the amount of Pledged Revenues, if any, to be appropriated and to be set
aside for the payment of the Debt Service Requirements on the Certificates between the
Collection Date for the taxes then to be levied and the Collection Date for the taxes to be levied
during the next succeeding Fiscal Year.
B. The amount of taxes to be levied annually each year to pay the Debt Service
Requirements on the Certificates shall be the amount established in paragraph (1) above less the
sum total of the amounts established in paragraphs (2) and (3), after taking into consideration
delinquencies and costs of collecting such annual taxes.

currently outstanding Limited Pledge Obligations, the Pledged Revenues are hereby irrevocably
pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Certificates and the pledge of

Pledged Revenues in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof and be valid and binding
without any physical delivery thereof or further act by the City.
SECTION 13. System Fund. The City hereby covenants and agrees that all Gross
Revenues derived fi'om the operation of the System shall be kept separate and apart from all
45455305.1 -23-

payments, or making adequate and sufficient provision for the payment, security and benefit
thereof, may be appropriated and used for any other City purpose now or hereafter permitted by
law.
SECTION 14. Deposits to Certificate Fund; Excess Certificate Proceeds. The City
hereby covenants and agrees to cause to be deposited in the Certificate Fund prior to a principal
and interest payment date for the Certificates, from the Pledged Revenues in the System Fund,

for the payment, security, and benefit of the currently outstanding Prior Lien Obligations and any
Additional Prior Lien Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations or Subordinate Lien Obligations
hereafter issued by the City, any amounts budgeted to be paid therefrom in such Fiscal Year.

Certificate Fund and ad valorem taxes levied and collected for the benefit of the Certificates shall
be deposited to the Certificate Fund. In addition, any surplus proceeds, including investment
income therefrom, from the sale of the Certificates not expended for authorized purposes shall be

Ordinance makes provision (except any portion thereof as may be at any time properly invested

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 16. Maintenance of System - Insurance. The City covenants and agrees that
while the Certificates remain Outstanding it will maintain and operate the System with all
possible efficiency and maintain casualty and other insurance (including a system of self-
insurance) on the properties of the System and its operations of a kind and in such amounts
customarily carded by municipal corporations in the State of Texas engaged in a similar type of
business and that it will faithfully and punctually perform all duties with reference to the System
required by the laws of the State of Texas. All money received from losses under such insurance
policies, other than public liability policies, are held for the benefit of the holders of the
'Certificates until and unless the proceeds are paid out in making good the loss or damage in

insurance policies required under the provisions hereof shall be considered Maintenance and

expend any funds which are derived from sources other than the operation of the System but
nothing herein shall be construed as preventing the City from doing so.

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 fight 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

in part, the payment of any Additional Limited Pledge Obligations shall be subordinate and
inferior to the pledge of and lien on the Net Revenues securing the payment of the currently

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

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 the currently outstanding Prior Lien Obligations and
any Additional 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 the currently
outstanding Prior 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 fights and benefits conferred thereby to the holders of the currently outstanding Prior
Lien Obligations. It is expressly recognized that prior to the issuance of any Additional Prior
Lien Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations or Subordinate Lien Obligations, the City must
comply with each of the conditions precedent contained in the ordinance authorizing the issuance

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

exchange, or replacement, if surrendered to the Paying Agent~egistrar, shall be promptly

Agent~egistrar. All canceled Certificates held by the Paying Agent~egistrar shall be destroyed

indemnity as may be required to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the

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, beating 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 (including attorney's
fees and the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent~egistrar) connected therewith.

lost, or stolen Certificates.

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 Certificates equals in the case of a Final
Computation Date as defined in Section 1. 148-3(e)(2) of the Regulations, one hundred percent

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.

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

Exemption or similar or other appropriate certificate, form or document.
L. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The City hereby designates the Certificates 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 Certificates are issued, the City (including any subordinate entities)
has not designated nor will designate obligations, which when aggregated with the Certificates,
will result in more than $10,000,000 of "qualified tax-exempt obligations" being issued; (b) the

The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the Holders and beneficial
owners of the Certificates, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit
or any legal or equitable fight, remedy, or claim hereunder to any other person. The City
undertakes to provide only the financial information, operating data, financial statements, and

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

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE CITY BE LIABLE TO THE HOLDER
OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY CERTIFICATE OR ANY OTHER PERSON, IN
CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM
ANY BREACH BY THE CITY, WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS

changed circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements, a change in law, or a
change in the identity, nature, status, or type of operations of the City, but only if (1)the
provisions of this Section, as so amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or
sell Certificates in the primary offering of the Certificates in compliance with the Rule, taking
45455305.1 -39-
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 Certificates consent to such amendment or
(b) a Person that is unaffiliated with the City (such as nationally recognized bond counsel)

beneficial owners of the Certificates. 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 purchasing or selling the Certificates in the primary offering of the
Certificates, giving effect to (a) such provisions as so amended and (b) any amendments or
interpretations of the Rule. If the City so amends the provisions of this Section, it 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.
SECTION 46. Book-Entry Only System.
It is intended that the Certificates initially be registered so as to participate in a securities
depository system (the D TC 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 separate 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~egistrar 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 Representation 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~egistrar 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, or (ii) the delivery to any Depository Participant or any other person, other than a
registered owner of the Certificates, as shown on the Security Registrar, 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 Certificate evidencing the obligation of the City to
45455305.1 -40-
make paymems of principal, premium, if any, and interest pursuant to this Ordinance. Upon
delivery by DTC to the Paying Agent~egistrar 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~egistrar, DTC, and the Depository Participants of the
availability within a reasonable period of time through DTC of bond certificates, and the
Certificates 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 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 47. 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
and on behalf of the City 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 Certificates, the Purchase Contract, the Paying Agent~egistrar
Agreement, and the Official Statement. In addition, prior to the initial delivery of the
Certificates, the Mayor or the City Manager and Bond Counsel are hereby authorized and
directed to approve any technical changes or corrections to this Ordinance or to any of the
instruments authorized and approved by this 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 and as described in the Official Statement, (ii) obtain a rating
fi'om 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 48. Municipal Bond Insurance. The payment of the debt service requirements
on the Certificates is insured by the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Policy.
45455305.1 -4 1-
SECTION49. Effective Date. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1201.028, as
