successor entity thereto (DTC), as set forth herein. Each Stated Maturity of the Certificates shall
be issued (following cancellation of the Initial Certificate 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/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 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

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
he registered in whatever name or names the Holders of Certificates transferring or exchanging
the Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Certificate is registered in the name of Cede&Co.,as nominee of DTC,all payments with respect

such Certificate shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the

necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Ordinance, the initial

To the extent that the City Council has adopted an annual budget that includes payment of debt
service on any Certificates issued (or to he issued)pursuant to this Ordinance based on the City's
reasonable expectations and projections relative to those Certificates, such budget entries shall,
upon the issuance of Certificates, be automatically adjusted to reflect actual debt service payments
on those Certificates coming due during the period of time covered by such budget. Each
Authorized Representative, or the designee thereof, is authorized to make such necessary budget
entries and/or adjustments to reflect these final debt service amounts.
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
