the principal amount thereof to be redeemed) so called for redemption shall become due and
payable, and if money sufficient for the payment of such Bonds (or of the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed) at the then applicable redemption price is held for the purpose of such
payment by the Paying Agent/Registrar, then on the redemption date designated in such notice,

Paying Agent/Registrar shall obtain, record, and maintain in the Security Register the name and
address of every owner of the Bonds, or, if appropriate, the nominee thereof. Any Bond may, in

binding obligations of the City, evidencing the same obligation to pay, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Ordinance, as the Bonds surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

expense or service charge to the 1-Iolder, except as otherwise herein provided, and except that the

of Texas and the Ordinance, and that the issuance of the Bonds does not exceed any
constitutional or statutory limitation; and that due provision has been made for the payment of

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 alter 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

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

Bond.

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.

lost, or stolen Bonds.

Gross Proceeds) in a manner which if made or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on
any Bond to become includable in the gross income, as defined in section 61 of the Code, of the
owner thereof for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
unless and until the City receives a written opinion of counsel nationally recognized in the field
of municipal bond law to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely
affect the exemption from federal income tax of the interest on any Bond, the City shall comply
with each of the specific covenants in this Section.
C. No Private Use or Private Payments. Except to the extent that it will not cause the
Bonds to become "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 14I of the Code and the
Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall at all times prior to the last Stated Maturity of
Bonds:
(1) exclusively own, operate and possess all property the acquisition,
construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or
indirectly with Gross Proceeds of the Bonds (including property financed with Gross
Proceeds of the Refunded Obligations), and not use or permit the use of such Gross
Proceeds (including all contractual arrangements with terms different than those
applicable to the general public) or any property acquired, constructed or improved with
such Gross Proceeds in any activity carried on by any person or entity (including the
United States or any agency, department and instrumentality thereof) other than a state or
local government, unless such use is solely as a member of the general public; and
(2) not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other payment by
any person or entity who is treated as using Gross Proceeds of the Bonds or any property
the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced
directly or indirectly with such Gross Proceeds (including property financed with Gross
Proceeds of the Refunded Obligations), other than taxes of general application within the
City or interest earned on investments acquired with such Gross Proceeds pending
application for their intended purposes.
D. No Private Loan. Except to the extent that it will not cause the Bonds to become
"private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Regulations and
rulings thereunder, the City shall not use Gross Proceeds of the Bonds to make or finance loans
to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For purposes of the foregoing
covenant, such Gross Proceeds are considered to be "loaned" to a person or entity if: (1)
property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds is sold or leased to such
person or entity in a transaction which creates a debt for federal income tax purposes; (2)
capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity under a take -or -
pay, output or similar contract or arrangement; or (3) indirect benefits, or burdens and benefits of
95584631.4
-23-
ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or any property acquired, constructed or improved with such
Gross Proceeds are otherwise transferred in a transaction which is the economic equivalent of a
loan.
E. Not to Invest at Higher Yield. Except to the extent that it will not cause the
Bonds to become "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of section 148 of the Code and the
Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not at any time prior to the final Stated
Maturity of the Bonds directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds in any Investment, if as a
result of such investment the Yield of any Investment acquired with Gross Proceeds, whether
then held or previously disposed of, materially exceeds the Yield of the Bonds.
F. Not Federally Guaranteed, Except to the extent permitted by section 149(b) of the
Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not take or omit to take any
action which would cause the Bonds to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of section
149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
G. Information Report. The City shall timely file the information required by section
I49(e) of the Code with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038-G or such other form and in
such place as the Secretary may prescribe.
H. Rebate of Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent otherwise provided in section
148(1) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder:
(I) 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(1) 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.I48 -
3(e)(2) of the Regulations, one hundred percent (100%) of the Rebate Amount on such
95584631.4
-24-
date; and (ii) in the case of any other Computation Date, 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(0 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(0 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 Arbitrage 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 Hedge 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. Current Refunding of the Refunded Obligations. The Bonds are issued, in part, to
refund the Refunded Obligations, and the Bonds will be issued, and the proceeds thereof used,
within 90 days after the Closing Date for the redemption of a portion 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.
L. Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes any Authorized Official or any
combination thereof, 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.

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, or any combination thereof, is 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 AgentlRegistrar, 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 Obligation of City. 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 at 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, in the case of a
net defeasance, have been certified by an independent accounting firm to 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 or
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. In the event of a gross defeasance of the Bonds, the City shall
deliver a certificate from its financial advisor, the Paying Agent/Registrar, 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. The City
covenants that no deposit of money or 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
95584631.4
-26-
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 City 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 Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., as Bond
Counsel, approving certain legal matters as to the Bonds, said opinion to be dated and delivered

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

responsible for CUS1P numbers incorrectly printed or typed on the definitive Bonds.

time to time and at any time, amend this Ordinance in any manner not detrimental to the interests
of the Holders, including the curing of any ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal defect or

owners of the Bonds, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit or

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

SECTION 39. Book -Entry Only System.
It is intended that the Bonds will 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 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
95584631.4
-32-
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
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 such alternate securities depository system then the Bonds may be registered in
whatever name or names the Holders of Bonds transferring or exchanging the Bonds shall
designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any
Bond 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 Bond and all notices with respect to such
Bond shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Representation Letter.
SECTION 40. 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
95584631A
