The City shall file notice with the MSRB, in a timely manner,of any failure by the City to provide financial information or operating data in accordance with this Section by the time required by this Section. D. Limitations, Disclaimers,and Amendments. The City shall be obligated to observe and perform the covenants specified in this Section for so long as, but only for so long as, the City remains an "obligated person"with respect to the Certificates within the meaning of the Rule, except that the City in any event will give notice of any deposit that causes the Certificates to be no longer Outstanding. 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 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 accordance with this Section or otherwise, except as expressly provided herein. The City does not make any representation or warranty concerning such information or its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Certificates at any future date. 298048701.4 -41- 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 WITH OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, BUT EVERY RIGHT AND REMEDY OF 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 PERFORMANCE.

Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise limit the duties of the City under federal and state securities laws. The provisions of this Section may be amended by the City from time to time to adapt to 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 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) determines that such amendment will not materially impair the interests of the holders and 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 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, 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.

Financial information and operating data to be provided pursuant to this Section may be 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 Certificates is subject to the provisions of the Rule and because the potential "underwriters" in a negotiated sale of the Certificates or the initial purchasers in a competitive sale of the Certificates may be subject to MSRB rules and regulations with respect to such sale (including certain due diligence and suitability requirements, among others), the Issuer hereby adopts the General Policies and Procedures Concerning Compliance with the Rule (the Policies and Procedures),attached hereto as Exhibit E,with which the Issuer shall follow to assure compliance with the Undertaking. The Issuer 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 Issuer'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 Issuer and any such amendment will not be deemed to be an amendment to the Undertaking. Each Authorized Representative 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 Representative to be necessary or desirable for or with respect to future compliance with the Undertaking. SECTION 45. Book-Entry Only System. 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 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 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, 298048701.4 -43- 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 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 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 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 Paying Agent/Registrar Agreement, the Purchase Contract, and the Official Statement. In addition, prior to the initial delivery of the Certificates, the Authorized Representatives 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 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 298048701.4 -44- 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. Automatic Budget Amendments to Reflect Final Debt Service Payments. To the extent that the City Council adopts an annual budget that includes payment of debt service on any Certificates issued (or to be issued) pursuant to this Ordinance based on the City's reasonable expectations and projections relative to the Certificates, such budget entries shall 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 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 Representative, the City's Bond Counsel, and/or the City's Financial Advisor 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. Ancillary Bond Contracts. Though such parties may be identified, and the entry into a particular form of contract may be authorized herein, pursuant to Chapter 1371, and any other applicable law, the Governing Body, hereby delegates to each Authorized Representative other than the Mayor the authority to independently select the counterparty to any agreement with any paying agent/registrar, rating agency, securities depository, or any other contract that is determined by an Authorized Representative (other than the Mayor), the City's Financial Advisors,or the City's Bond Counsel to be necessary or incidental to the issuance of the Certificates as long as each of such contracts has a value of less than the amount referenced in Section 2252.908 of the Texas Government Code (collectively, the Ancillary Bond Contracts); and, as necessary, to execute the Ancillary Bond Contracts on behalf and as the act and deed of the City. As a result of such delegation, the provisions of Section 2252.908, as amended, Texas Government Code, are not applicable to the Ancillary Bond Contracts pursuant to 1 Texas Administrative Code Sec. 46.1(c). SECTION 50. 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.
