(a) That any Certificate and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be 25 paid, retired, and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased Cer- tificate") within the meaning of this Ordinance, except to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section 12, when payment of the principal of such Certificate, plus in- terest thereon to the due date (whether such due date be by reason of maturity or otherwise) either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such due date by irrevocably depositing with or making available to the Paying Agent/Registrar for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to make such payment or (2) Government Obligations which mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability, without reinvestment, or sufficient money to provide for such payment, and when proper arrangements have been made by the City with the Pay- ing Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Certificate shall be deemed to be a Defeased Certificate hereunder, as aforesaid, such Certifi- cate and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by, payable from, or entitled to the benefits of, the ad valorem taxes herein levied and the Pledged Revenues herein pledged as provided in this Ordinance, and such principal and inter- (b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Reg- istrar may at the written direction of the City also be in- vested in Government Obligations, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from such Government Obligations received by the Paying Agent/ Registrar which is not required for the payment of the Cer- tificates and interest thereon, with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be turned over to the City, or deposited as directed in writing by the City. (c) The term "Government Obligations" as used in this Section 12, shall mean direct obligations of the United States of America, including obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, which may be United States Treas- ury obligations such as its State and Local Government Se- ries, which may be in book -entry form. (d) Until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Certificates the same as if they had not been defeased, and the City shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Ordinance. Section 13. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DE- STROYED CERTIFICATES. (a) Replacement Certificates. That in the event any outstanding Certificate is damaged, muti- lated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed, and de - 27 livered, a new certificate of the same principal amount, ma- turity, and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, in replacement for such Certificate in the manner hereinafter provided. (b) Application for Replacement Certificates. That application for replacement of damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificates shall be made by the reg- istered owner thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In ev- ery case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner applying for a replacement certificate shall furnish to the City and to the Paying Agent/Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss or damage with re- spect thereto. Also, in every case of loss, theft, or de- struction of a Certificate, the registered owner shall fur- nish to the City and to the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft, or destruction of such Certificate, as the case may be. In every case of dam- age or mutilation of a Certificate, the registered owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancella- tion the Certificate so damaged or mutilated. (c) No Default Occurred. That notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the event any such Certificate shall have matured, and no default has occurred which is then continuing in the payment of the principal of or interest on this Certificate, the City may authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the 28 case of a damaged or mutilated Certificate) instead of issu- ing a replacement certificate, provided security or indemni- ty is furnished as above provided in this Section. (d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Certificates. That prior to the issuance of any replacement certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such Certificate with all legal, printing, and other expens- es in connection therewith. Every replacement certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Certificate is lost, stolen, or de- stroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the City whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Certifi- cate shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by any- one, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordi- nance equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates duly issued under this Ordinance. (e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Certificates. That in accordance with Section 6 of Vernon's Ann. Tex. Civ. St. Art. 717k-6, this Section of this Ordinance shall con- stitute authority for the issuance of any such replacement certificate without necessity of further action by the City or any other body or person, and the duty of the replacement of such certificates is hereby authorized and imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 5(a) 29 of this Ordinance for Certificates issued in conversion and exchange of other Certificates. Section 14. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION. That the City covenants to refrain from any action which would adversely affect, or to take such action as to ensure, the treatment of the Certificates of Obligation as obligations described in Section 103 of the Code, the interest on which is not includable in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of federal income taxation. In furtherance there- of, the City covenants as follows: (a) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates of Obligation (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business use," as de- fined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds are so used, that amounts, whether or not received by the City, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Ordinance or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service on the Certif- icates of Obligation, in contravention of Section 141(b)(2) of the Code; (b) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described in sub- section (a) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates of Obligation (less amounts deposited 30 into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a "private business use" which is "related" and not "disproportionate", within the meaning of Section 141(b) (3) of the Code, to the gov- ernmental use; (c) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of $5,000,000, or five percent of the proceeds of the Certificates of Obliga- tion (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state or local governmental units, in contravention of Section 141(c) of the Code; (d) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Certificates of Obligation be- ing treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141(b) of the Code; (e) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Certificates of Obligation being "feder- ally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code; (f) to refrain from using any portion of the pro- ceeds of the Certificates of Obligation, directly or indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire investment property (as defined in Section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces a materially higher yield over the term 31 of the Certificates of Obligation, other than invest- ment property acquired with -- (1) proceeds of the Certificates of Obliga- tion invested for a reasonable temporary period of three years or less or, in the case of a refunding bond, for a period of 30 days or less until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the certificates of obligation are issued, (2) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of Section 1.103- 13(b)(12) of the Treasury Regulations, and (3) amounts deposited in any reasonably re- quired reserve or replacement fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the pro- ceeds of the Certificates of Obligation; (g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Certificates of Obligation or amounts treated as proceeds of the Certificates of Obligation, as may be necessary, so that the Certificates of Obligation do not otherwise contravene the requirements of Section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the ex- tent applicable, Section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings); (h) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Certificates of Obligation) an amount that is at least equal to 90 percent of the 32 "Excess Earnings," within the meaning of Section 148(f) of the Code and to pay to the United States of America, not later than 60 days after the Certificates of Obli- gation have been paid in full, 100 percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under Section 148(f) of the Code; and (i) to maintain such records as will enable the City to fulfill its responsibilities under this Section and Section 148 of the Code and to retain such records for at least six years following the final payment of principal and interest on the Certificates of Obliga- tion. It is the understanding of the City that the covenants con- tained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or ruling are hereafter promulgated which modify, or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Certificates of Obligation, the City will not be re- quired to comply with any covenant contained herein to the extent that such modification or expansion, in the opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of inter - est on the Certificates of Obligation under Section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which impose additional requirements which are applicable to the Certificates of Obligation, the 33 City agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally-recog- nized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Certificates of Obliga- tion under Section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the City hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor, the City Manager and the Director of Finance to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code, and to make such elections on behalf of the City which may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Certificates of Obligation. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenants (g), (h), and (i), a "Rebate Fund" is hereby established by the City for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such Fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without limitation the bondholders. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with Section 148 of the Code. Section 15. CUSTODY, APPROVAL, AND REGISTRATION OF CERTIFICATES. That the Mayor of the City is hereby author- ized to have control of the Certificates initially issued and delivered hereunder and all necessary records and pro- ceedings pertaining to the Certificates pending their deliv- ery and their investigation, examination, and approval by the Attorney General of the State of Texas, and their regis- tration by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State 34 of Texas. Upon registration of the Certificates said Comp- troller of Public Accounts (or a deputy designated in writ- ing to act for said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate attached to such Cer- tificates, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be im- pressed, or placed in facsimile, on such Comptroller's Reg- istration Certificate. Section 16. SALE. That the sale of the Certificates of Obligation to Prudential Bache Securities (the "Purchaser"), at a price of par and accrued interest on the Certificates of Obligation to the date of delivery, is here- by authorized, ratified and confirmed. One Certificate of Obligation in the principal amount maturing on each matu- rity date as set forth in Section 2 hereof shall be deliv- ered to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall have the right to exchange such Certificates of Obligation as pro- vided in Section 5 hereof without cost. Section 17. APPROVAL OF OFFERING DOCUMENTS. That the Official Notice of Sale, Official Bid Form, and an Official Statement, prepared and distributed in connection with the sale of the Certificates of Obligation, in substantially the form attached hereto, are hereby approved by the City Coun- cil, and their use in the offer and sale of the Certificates of Obligation is hereby approved.
