Section 3. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BONDS.
(a) Registration, Transfer, Conversion and Exchange. The Issuer shall keep or cause to be
kept at the designated corporate trust office of U.S. Bank National Association, in Dallas, Texas (the
"Paying Agent/Registrar"), books or records for the registration of the transfer, conversion and
exchange of the Bonds (the "Registration Books"), and the Issuer hereby appoints the Paying
Agent/Registrar as its registrar and transfer agent to keep such books or records and make such
registrations of transfers, conversions and exchanges under such reasonable regulations as the Issuer
and Paying Agent/Registrar may prescribe; and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall make such
registrations, transfers, conversions and exchanges as herein provided. The Paying Agent/Registrar
shall obtain and record in the Registration Books the address of the registered owner of each Bond
to which payments with respect to the Bonds shall be mailed, as herein provided; but it shall be the
duty of each registered owner to notify the Paying Agent/Registrar in writing of the address to which
payments shall be mailed, and such interest payments shall not be mailed unless such notice has
been given. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect the Registration Books during regular business
hours of the Paying Agent/Registrar, but otherwise the Paying Agent/Registrar shall keep the
Registration Books confidential and, unless otherwise required by law, shall not permit their
inspection by any other entity. The Issuer shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's standard or
customary fees and charges for making such registration, transfer, conversion, exchange and
delivery of a substitute Bond or Bonds. Registration of assignments, transfers, conversions and
exchanges of Bonds shall be made in the manner provided and with the effect stated in the FORM
OF BOND set forth in this Ordinance. Each substitute Bond shall bear a letter and/or number to
distinguish it from each other Bond.
Except as provided in Section 3(c) of this Ordinance, an authorized representative of the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall, before the delivery of any such Bond, date and manually sign said
Bond, and no such Bond shall be deemed to be issued or outstanding unless such Bond is so
executed. The Paying Agent/Registrar promptly shall cancel all paid Bonds and Bonds surrendered
for conversion and exchange. No additional ordinances, orders, or resolutions need be passed or
adopted by the governing body of the Issuer or any other body or person so as to accomplish the
foregoing conversion and exchange of any Bond or portion thereof, and the Paying Agent/Registrar
shall provide for the printing, execution, and delivery of the substitute Bonds in the manner
prescribed herein, and said Bonds shall be printed or typed on paper of customary weight and
strength. Pursuant to Chapter 1201, Government Code, as amended, the duty of conversion and
exchange of Bonds as aforesaid is hereby imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and, upon the
execution of said Bond, the converted and exchanged Bond shall be valid, incontestable, and
enforceable in the same manner and with the same effect as the Bonds that initially were issued and
delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, approved by the Attorney General and registered by the
Comptroller of Public Accounts.
(b) Payment of Bonds and Interest. The Issuer hereby further appoints the Paying
Agent/Registrar to act as the paying agent for paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds, all
as provided in this Ordinance. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall keep proper records of all
payments made by the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar with respect to the Bonds, and of all
4
conversions and exchanges of Bonds, and all replacements of Bonds, as provided in this Ordinance.
However, in the event of a nonpayment of interest on a scheduled payment date, and for thirty (30)
days thereafter, a new record date for such interest payment (a "Special Record Date") will be
established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when funds for the payment of such interest have
been received from the Issuer. Notice of the past due interest shall be sent at least five (5) business
days prior to the Special Record Date by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the
address of each registered owner appearing on the Registration Books at the close of business on the
last business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice.
(c) In General. The Bonds (i) shall be issued in fully registered form, without interest
coupons, with the principal of and interest on such Bonds to be payable only to the registered owners
thereof, (ii) may be converted and exchanged for other Bonds, (iii) may be transferred and assigned,
(iv) shall have the characteristics, (v) shall be signed, sealed, executed and authenticated, (vi) the
principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable, and (vii) shall be administered and the
Paying Agent/Registrar and the Issuer shall have certain duties and responsibilities with respect to
the Bonds, all as provided, and in the manner and to the effect as required or indicated, in the FORM
OF BOND set forth in this Ordinance. The Bond initially issued and delivered pursuant to this
Ordinance is not required to be, and shall not be, authenticated by the Paying Agent/Registrar, but
on each substitute Bond issued in conversion of and exchange for any Bond or Bonds issued under
this Ordinance the Paying Agent/Registrar shall execute the PAYING AGENT/REGISTRAR'S
AUTHENTICATION CERTIFICATE, in the form set forth in the FORM OF BOND.
(d) Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds. The Issuer covenants with the registered owners
of the Bonds that at all times while the Bonds are outstanding the Issuer will provide a competent
and legally qualified bank, trust company, financial institution, or other entity to act as and perform
the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds under this Ordinance, and that the Paying
Agent/Registrar will be one entity. The Issuer reserves the right to, and may, at its option, change
the Paying Agent/Registrar upon not less than 60 days written notice to the Paying Agent/Registrar,
to be effective not later than 45 days prior to the next principal or interest payment date after such
notice. In the event that the entity at any time acting as Paying Agent/Registrar (or its successor by
merger, acquisition, or other method) should resign or otherwise cease to act as such, the Issuer
covenants that promptly it will appoint a competent and legally qualified bank, trust company,
financial institution, or other entity to act as Paying Agent/Registrar under this Ordinance. Upon
any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the previous Paying Agent/Registrar promptly shall
transfer and deliver the Registration Books (or a copy thereof), along with all other pertinent books
and records relating to the Bonds, to the new Paying Agent/Registrar designated and appointed by
the Issuer. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the Issuer promptly will cause a written
notice thereof to be sent by the new Paying Agent/Registrar to each Registered Owner of the Bonds,
by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, which notice also shall give the address of the new
Paying Agent/Registrar. By accepting the position and performing as such, each Paying
Agent/Registrar shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this Ordinance, and a certified
copy of this Ordinance shall be delivered to each Paying Agent/Registrar.
5
(e) Authentication. Except as provided below, no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any
purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit of this Ordinance unless and until there appears
thereon the Certificate of Paying Agent/Registrar substantially in the form provided in this
Ordinance, duly authenticated by manual execution of the Paying Agent/Registrar. It shall not be
required that the same authorized representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar sign the Certificate
of Paying Agent/Registrar on all of the Bonds. In lieu of the executed Certificate of Paying
Agent/Registrar described above, the Initial Bond delivered on the closing date shall have attached
thereto the Comptroller's Registration Certificate substantially in the form provided in this
Ordinance, manually executed by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas or by
his duly authorized agent, which certificate shall be evidence that the Initial Bond has been duly
approved by the Attorney General of the State of Texas and that it is a valid and binding obligation
of the Issuer, and has been registered by the Comptroller.
(f) Book-Entry Only System. The Bonds issued in exchange for the Bond initially issued
to the initial purchaser specified herein shall be initially issued in the form of a separate single fully
registered Bond for each of the maturities thereof. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such
Bond shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company,
New York, New York ("DTC"), and except as provided in subsection (f) hereof, all of the
outstanding Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
With respect to Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Issuer
and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any securities brokers
and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations on whose
behalf DTC was created ("DTC Participant") to hold securities to facilitate the clearance and
settlement of securities transactions among DTC Participants or to any person on behalf of whom
such a DTC Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding
sentence, the Issuer 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 DTC Participant with respect
to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person,
other than a Registered Owner of Bonds, as shown on the Registration Books, of any notice with
respect to the Bonds, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a
Registered Owner of Bonds, as shown in the Registration Books of any amount with respect to
principal of or interest on the Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the
contrary, the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be entitled to treat and consider the person
in whose name each Bond is registered in the Registration Books as the absolute owner of such
Bond for the purpose of payment of principal and interest with respect to such Bond, for the purpose
of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The
Paying Agent/Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order
of the Registered Owners, as shown in the Registration Books as provided in this Ordinance, or their
respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective
to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to payment of principal of and
interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a Registered
Owner, as shown in the Registration Books, shall receive a Bond evidencing the obligation of the
Issuer to make payments of principal and interest pursuant to this Ordinance. Upon delivery by
6
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 being mailed to the Registered Owner at the close of business on the
Record date, the words "Cede & Co." in this Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
The previous execution and delivery of the Blanket Letter of Representations with respect
to obligations of the Issuer is hereby ratified and confirmed; and the provisions thereof shall be fully
applicable to the Bonds.
(g) Successor Securities Depository; Transfers Outside Book-Entry Only System. In the
event that the Issuer determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its responsibilities described
herein and in the representations letter of the Issuer to DTC or that it is in the best interest of the
beneficial owners of the Bonds that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds, the Issuer shall (i)
appoint a successor securities depository, qualified to act as such under Section 17A of the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, notify DTC and DTC Participants of the appointment of
such successor securities depository and transfer one or more separate Bonds to such successor
securities depository or (ii) notify DTC and DTC Participants of the availability through DTC of
Bonds and transfer one or more separate certificated Bonds to DTC Participants having Bonds
credited to their DTC accounts. In such event, the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being
registered in the Registration Books in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be
registered in the name of the successor securities depository, or its nominee, or in whatever name
or names Registered Owners transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with
the provisions of this Ordinance.
(h) Payments to Cede & Co. 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 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 representations letter of
the Issuer to DTC.
(i) Cancellation of Initial Bond. On the closing date, one initial Bond representing the entire
principal amount of the Bonds, payable in stated installments to the purchaser designated in Section
10 or its designee, executed by manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor and Town Secretary of
the Issuer, approved by the Attorney General of Texas, and registered and manually signed by the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, will be delivered to such purchaser or its
designee. Upon payment for the initial Bond, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cancel the initial
Bond and deliver to the Depository Trust Company on behalf of such purchaser one registered
definitive Bond for each year of maturity of the Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of all of
the Bonds for such maturity.
Section 4. FORM OF BONDS. The form of the Bonds, including the form of Paying
Agent/Registrar's Authentication Certificate, the form of Assignment and the form of Registration
Certificate of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas to be attached to the Bonds
initially issued and delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, shall be, respectively, substantially as

REGISTERED OWNER:

ON THE MATURITY DATE specified above, the Town of Prosper, in Collin and Denton
Counties, Texas (the "Issuer"), being a political subdivision and municipal corporation of the State
of Texas, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Owner specified above, or registered assigns
(hereinafter called the "Registered Owner"), on the Maturity Date specified above or the date of
redemption prior to maturity, the Principal Amount specified above. The Issuer promises to pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months) from the Date of Initial Delivery, as shown above, at the Interest Rate per annum
specified above. Interest is payable on February 15, 2019 and semiannually on each August 15 and
February 15 thereafter to the Maturity Date specified above; except, if this Bond is required to be
authenticated and the date of its authentication is later than the first Record Date (hereinafter
defined), such Principal Amount shall bear interest from the interest payment date next preceding
the date of authentication, unless such date of authentication is after any Record Date but on or
before the next following interest payment date, in which case such principal amount shall bear
interest from such next following interest payment date; provided, however, that if on the date of
authentication hereof the interest on the Bond or Bonds, if any, for which this Bond is being
exchanged is due but has not been paid, then this Bond shall bear interest from the date to which
such interest has been paid in full.
THE PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON this Bond are payable in lawful money of the
United States of America, without exchange or collection charges. The principal of this Bond shall
be paid to the registered owner hereof upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at maturity, or
upon the date fixed for its redemption prior to maturity, at the designated corporate trust office of
U.S. Bank National Association, in Dallas, Texas, which is the "Paying Agent/Registrar" for this
8
Bond. The payment of interest on this Bond shall be made by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the
registered owner hereof on each interest payment date by check or draft, dated as of such interest
payment date, drawn by the Paying Agent/Registrar on, and payable solely from, funds of the Issuer
required by the ordinance authorizing the issuance of this Bond (the "Bond Ordinance") to be on
deposit with the Paying Agent/Registrar for such purpose as hereinafter provided; and such check
or draft shall be sent by the Paying Agent/Registrar by United States mail, first-class postage
prepaid, on each such interest payment date, to the registered owner hereof, at its address as it
appeared on the last business day of the month preceding each such date (the "Record Date") on the
Registration Books kept by the Paying Agent/Registrar, as hereinafter described. In addition,
interest may be paid by such other method, acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar, requested by,
and at the risk and expense of, the registered owner. In the event of a non-payment of interest on
a scheduled payment date, and for 30 days thereafter, a new record date for such interest payment
(a "Special Record Date") will be established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when funds for
the payment of such interest have been received from the Issuer. Notice of the Special Record Date
and of the scheduled payment date of the past due interest (which shall be 15 days after the Special
Record Date) shall be sent at least five business days prior to the Special Record Date by United
States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the address of each owner of a Bond appearing on the
Registration Books at the close of business on the last business day next preceding the date of
mailing of such notice.
ANY ACCRUED INTEREST due at maturity of this Bond prior to maturity as provided
herein shall be paid to the registered owner upon presentation and surrender of this Bond for
payment at the designated corporate trust office of the Paying Agent/Registrar. The Issuer covenants
with the registered owner of this Bond that on or before each principal payment date, interest
payment date, and accrued interest payment date for this Bond it will make available to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, from the "Interest and Sinking Fund" created by the Bond Ordinance, the amounts
required to provide for the payment, in immediately available funds, of all principal of and interest
on the Bonds, when due.
IF THE DATE for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond shall be a
Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the city where the
designated corporate trust office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized by law or
executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day that is not
such a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day on which banking institutions are authorized to close;
and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the original date
payment was due.
THIS BOND is one of a series of Bonds dated June 15, 2018, authorized in accordance with
the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas in the principal amount of $3,900,000 for the purpose
of providing funds for the construction and equipment of public improvements in the Issuer as
described in the Bond Ordinance.
THE BONDS OF THIS SERIES maturing on February 15 in the years 2035 and 2038 are
subject to mandatory redemption prior to maturity in part at random, by lot or other customary
9
method selected by the Paying Agent/Registrar, at par plus accrued interest to the redemption date,
and without premium, with funds on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund. Such Bonds shall be
redeemed by the Paying Agent/Registrar on February 15 in each of the years and in the principal
amounts, respectively, as are set forth in the following schedule:

The principal amount of the Bonds required to be redeemed pursuant to the operation of such
mandatory sinking fund shall be reduced by the principal amount of any Bonds which, at least 45
days prior to the mandatory sinking fund redemption date (i) shall have been purchased by the Issuer
and delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation or (ii) redeemed pursuant to the
optional redemption provision described below and not theretofore credited against a mandatory
sinking fund requirement.
IN ADDITION TO THE MANDATORY REDEMPTION provisions described above, the
Bonds of maturing on and after February 15, 2029 may be redeemed prior to their scheduled
maturities on any date on or after February 15, 2028, at the option of the Issuer, with funds derived
from any available and lawful source, as a whole, or in part, and, if in part, the particular Bonds, or
portions thereof, to be redeemed shall be selected and designated by the Issuer (provided that a
portion of a Bond may be redeemed only in an integral multiple of $5,000), at a redemption price
equal to the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.
AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR to the date fixed for any redemption of Bonds or portions
thereof prior to maturity a written notice of such redemption shall be sent by the Paying
Agent/Registrar by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the registered owner of each
Bond to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the day such notice of redemption is mailed;
provided, however, that the failure of the registered owner to receive such notice, or any defect
therein or in the sending or mailing thereof, shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the
proceedings for the redemption of any Bond. By the date fixed for any such redemption, due
provision shall be made with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the required redemption
price for the Bonds or portions thereof which are to be so redeemed. If such written notice of
redemption is sent and if due provision for such payment is made, all as provided above, the Bonds
or portions thereof which are to be so redeemed thereby automatically shall be treated as redeemed
prior to their scheduled maturities, and they shall not bear interest after the date fixed for
redemption, and they shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the registered
owner to receive the redemption price from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided

The Issuer promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof (calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) from the Date of Initial Delivery, as shown above, at
the respective Interest Rate per annum specified above. Interest is payable on February 15, 2019,
and semiannually on each August 15 and February 15 thereafter to the date of payment of the

Bond is required to be authenticated and the date of its authentication is later than the first Record
Date (hereinafter defined), such Principal Amount shall bear interest from the interest payment date
next preceding the date of authentication, unless such date of authentication is after any Record Date
but on or before the next following interest payment date, in which case such principal amount shall
bear interest from such next following interest payment date; provided, however, that if on the date
of authentication hereof the interest on the Bond or Bonds, if any, for which this Bond is being
exchanged is due but has not been paid, then this Bond shall bear interest from the date to which
such interest has been paid in full."
C. The Initial Bond shall be numbered "T-1."
Section 5. INTEREST AND SINKING FUND.
(a) A special "Interest and Sinking Fund" is hereby created and shall be established and
maintained by the Issuer at an official depository bank of said Issuer. Said Interest and Sinking
Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of said Issuer, and shall be
used only for paying the interest on and principal of said Bonds. All amounts received from the sale
of the Bonds as accrued interest, if any, shall be deposited upon receipt to the Interest and Sinking
Fund, and all ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of said Bonds shall be
deposited, as collected, to the credit of said Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year while any
of said Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, the governing body of said Issuer shall compute and
ascertain a rate and amount of ad valorem tax that will be sufficient to raise and produce the money
required to pay the interest on said Bonds as such interest comes due, and to provide and maintain
a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of said Bonds as such principal matures (but never less
15
than 2% of the original amount of said Bonds as a sinking fund each year); and said tax shall be
based on the latest approved tax rolls of said Issuer, with full allowances being made for tax
delinquencies and the cost of tax collection. Said rate and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby
levied, and is hereby ordered to be levied, against all taxable property in said Issuer, for each year
while any of said Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, and said tax shall be assessed and collected
each such year and deposited to the credit of the aforesaid Interest and Sinking Fund. Said ad
valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of said Bonds,
as such interest comes due and such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such payment, within
the limit prescribed by law. Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection, if lawfully
available moneys of the Issuer are actually on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund in advance
of the time when ad valorem taxes are scheduled to be levied for any year, then the amount of taxes
that otherwise would have been required to be levied pursuant to this Section may be reduced to the
extent and by the amount of the lawfully available funds then on deposit in the Interest and Sinking
Fund.
(b) Chapter 1208, Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Bonds and the pledge
of the taxes granted by the Issuer under this Section, and is therefore valid, effective, and perfected.
Should Texas law be amended at any time while the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, the result
of such amendment being that the pledge of the taxes granted by the Issuer under this Section is to
be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code, in order to preserve
to the registered owners of the Bonds a security interest in said pledge, the Issuer agrees to take such
measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the
applicable provisions of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing of a security
interest in said pledge to occur.
Section 6. DEFEASANCE OF BONDS.
(a) Any Bond and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired and no longer
outstanding (a "Defeased Bond") within the meaning of this Ordinance, except to the extent
provided in subsection (d) of this Section, when payment of the principal of such Bond, plus interest
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 in accordance with an escrow agreement or other instrument (the "Future
Escrow Agreement") for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient
to make such payment or (2) Defeasance Securities that mature as to principal and interest in such
amounts and at such times as will insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money
to provide for such payment, and when proper arrangements have been made by the Issuer with the
Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased Bonds shall have become
due and payable. At such time as a Bond shall be deemed to be a Defeased Bond hereunder, as
aforesaid, such Bond 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 pledged as provided in this Ordinance, and
such principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or Defeasance Securities, and
thereafter the Issuer will have no further responsibility with respect to amounts available to the
16
Paying Agent/Registrar (or other financial institution permitted by applicable law) for the payment
of such Defeased Bonds, including any insufficiency therein caused by the failure of the Paying
Agent/Registrar (or other financial institution permitted by applicable law) to receive payment when
due on the Defeasance Securities. 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 6(a)(i) or (ii) shall not be
irrevocable, provided that: (1) in the proceedings providing for such payment arrangements, the
Issuer 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 making of
the payment arrangements; and (3) directs that notice of the reservation be included in any
redemption notices that it authorizes.
(b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar may at the written direction
of the Issuer be invested in Defeasance Securities, maturing in the amounts and times as
hereinbefore set forth, and all income from such Defeasance Securities received by the Paying
Agent/Registrar that is not required for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon, with respect
to which such money has been so deposited, shall be turned over to the Issuer, or deposited as
directed in writing by the Issuer. Any Future Escrow Agreement pursuant to which the money
and/or Defeasance Securities are held for the payment of Defeased Bonds may contain provisions
permitting the investment or reinvestment of such moneys in Defeasance Securities or the
substitution of other Defeasance Securities upon the satisfaction of the requirements specified in
Subsection (a)(i) or (ii) of this Section. All income from such Defeasance Securities received by
the Paying Agent/Registrar which is not required for the payment of the Defeased Bonds, with
respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be remitted to the Issuer or deposited as
directed in writing by the Issuer.
(c) The term "Defeasance Securities" means any securities and obligations now or hereafter
authorized by State law that are eligible to refund, retire or otherwise discharge obligations such as
the Bonds.
(d) Until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable, the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Bonds the
same as if they had not been defeased, and the Issuer shall make proper arrangements to provide and
pay for such services as required by this Ordinance.
(e) In the event that the Issuer elects to defease less than all of the principal amount of Bonds
of a maturity, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall select, or cause to be selected, such amount of Bonds
by such random method as it deems fair and appropriate.
17
Section 7. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED BONDS.
(a) Replacement Bonds. In the event any outstanding Bond is damaged, mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed and delivered,
a new Bond of the same principal amount, maturity and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed Bond, in replacement for such Bond in the manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for Replacement Bonds. Application for replacement of damaged,
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Bonds shall be made by the registered owner thereof to the
Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft or destruction of a Bond, the registered owner
applying for a replacement Bond shall furnish to the Issuer 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 respect thereto. Also, in every case of loss, theft or destruction of a Bond, the
registered owner shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their
satisfaction of the loss, theft or destruction of such Bond, as the case may be. In every case of
damage or mutilation of a Bond, the registered owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar
for cancellation the Bond so damaged or mutilated.
(c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the
event any such Bond shall have matured, and no default has occurred that is then continuing in the
payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bond, the Issuer may
authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or
mutilated Bond) instead of issuing a replacement Bond, provided security or indemnity is furnished
as above provided in this Section.
(d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Bonds. Prior to the issuance of any replacement Bond,
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such Bond with all legal, printing,
and other expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement Bond issued pursuant to the
provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Bond is lost, stolen or destroyed shall
constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Bond
shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Ordinance equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued under this
Ordinance.
(e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Bonds. In accordance with Sec. 1206.022,
Government Code, this Section 7 of this Ordinance shall constitute authority for the issuance of any
such replacement Bond without necessity of further action by the governing body of the Issuer or
any other body or person, and the duty of the replacement of such Bonds is hereby authorized and
imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver such Bonds in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 3(a) of this
Ordinance for Bonds issued in conversion and exchange for other Bonds.
18
Section 8. CUSTODY, APPROVAL, AND REGISTRATION OF BONDS; BOND
COUNSEL'S OPINION; CUSIP NUMBERS; ENGAGEMENT OF BOND COUNSEL.
(a) The Mayor of the Issuer is hereby authorized to have control of the Bonds initially issued
and delivered hereunder and all necessary records and proceedings pertaining to the Bonds pending
their delivery and their investigation, examination, and approval by the Attorney General of the State
of Texas, and their registration by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas. Upon
registration of the Bonds said Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a deputy designated in writing to
act for said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate attached to
such Bonds, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile, on such
Bond. The approving legal opinion of the Issuer's Bond Counsel and the assigned CUSIP numbers
may, at the option of the Issuer, be printed on the Bonds issued and delivered under this Ordinance,
but neither shall have any legal effect, and shall be solely for the convenience and information of
the registered owners of the Bonds.
(b) The obligation of the initial purchaser to accept delivery of the Bonds is subject to the
initial purchaser being furnished with the final, approving opinion of McCall, Parkhurst & Horton
L.L.P., bond counsel to the Issuer, which opinion shall be dated as of and delivered on the date of
initial delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser. The engagement of such firm as bond counsel
to the Issuer in connection with issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds is hereby approved and
confirmed. The execution and delivery of an engagement letter between the Issuer and such firm,
with respect to such services as bond counsel, is hereby authorized in such form as may be approved
by the Mayor, and the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute such engagement letter.
Section 9. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON THE
BONDS.
(a) Covenants. The Issuer covenants to take any action necessary to assure, or refrain from
any action that would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds 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 thereof, the Issuer covenants as follows:
(1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Bonds (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business
use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds
or the projects financed by the Bonds or the Refunded Obligations (the "Project") are so
used, such amounts, whether or not received by the Issuer, 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 Bonds, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code;
(2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use"
described in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the
projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the
19
amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a "private business use" that is "related" and not
"disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental
use;
(3) to take any action to assure that no amount that is greater than the lesser of
$5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds (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;
(4) to refrain from taking any action that would otherwise result in the Bonds being
treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code;
(5) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Bonds being "federally
guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
(6) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, directly or
indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds that were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire
investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) that produces a materially
higher yield over the term of the Bonds, other than investment property acquired with –
(A) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3
years or less or, in the case of a refunding bond, for a period of 90 days or less until
such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the bonds are issued,
(B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning
of section 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement
fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Bonds;
(7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated as
proceeds of the Bonds, as may be necessary, so that the Bonds do not otherwise contravene
the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage);
(8) to refrain from using the proceeds of the Bonds or proceeds of any prior bonds
to pay debt service on another issue more than 90 days after the date of issue of the Bonds
in contravention of the requirements of section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance
refundings); and
(9) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period
(beginning on the date of delivery of the Bonds) an amount that is at least equal to 90 percent
of the "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 Bonds have been paid in full, 100
20
percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section
148(f) of the Code.
(b) Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (a)(8), a "Rebate
Fund" is hereby established by the Issuer 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.
(c) Use of Proceeds. For purposes of the foregoing covenants (a)(1) and (a)(2), the Issuer
understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury
Regulations and, in the case of the Bonds, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the
Refunded Obligations expended prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds. It is the understanding
of the Issuer that the covenants contained 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 rulings are hereafter promulgated that modify or expand provisions
of the Code, as applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant
contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally recognized
bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on
the Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter
promulgated that impose additional requirements applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer agrees to
comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally
recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the
Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the Issuer hereby authorizes
and directs the Mayor or the Finance Director to execute any documents, certificates or reports
required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the Issuer, that may be permitted by
the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Bonds.
(d) Disposition of Projects. The Issuer covenants that the Projects will not be sold or
otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the Issuer of cash or other
compensation, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such
sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. For purposes
of the foregoing, the portion of the property comprising personal property and disposed in the
ordinary course shall not be treated as a transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other
compensation. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant
if it obtains a legal opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for
federal income tax proposes from gross income of the interest.
(e) Allocation of Bond Proceeds. The Issuer covenants to account for the expenditure of sale
proceeds and investment earnings to be used for the construction and acquisition of the Project on
its books and records by allocating proceeds to expenditures within 18 months of the later of the date
that (1) the expenditure is made, or (2) the Project is completed. The foregoing notwithstanding, the
Issuer shall not expend proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or investment earnings thereon more than
60 days after the earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary of the delivery of the Bonds, or (2) the date the
21
Bonds are retired, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that
such expenditure will not adversely affect the status, for federal income tax purposes, of the Bonds
or the interest thereon. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this
covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the
excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest.
Section 10. SALE OF BONDS AND APPROVAL OF OFFICIAL STATEMENT;
APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS; FURTHER PROCEDURES.
(a) The Bonds are hereby sold and shall be delivered to PNC Capital Markets (the

(a) Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences or events for the purpose of this
Ordinance is hereby declared to be an Event of Default:
(i) the failure to make payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Bonds
when the same becomes due and payable; or
(ii) default in the performance or observance of any other covenant, agreement or
obligation of the Issuer, the failure to perform which materially, adversely affects the rights
of the registered owners of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, their prospect or ability
to be repaid in accordance with this Ordinance, and the continuation thereof for a period of
60 days after notice of such default is given by any Registered Owner to the Issuer.
(b) Remedies for Default.
(i) Upon the happening of any Event of Default, then and in every case, any
Registered Owner or an authorized representative thereof, including, but not limited to, a
trustee or trustees therefor, may proceed against the Issuer for the purpose of protecting and
enforcing the rights of the Registered Owners under this Ordinance, by mandamus or other
suit, action or special proceeding in equity or at law, in any court of competent jurisdiction,
for any relief permitted by law, including the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement contained herein, or thereby to enjoin any act or thing that may be unlawful or
in violation of any right of the Registered Owners hereunder or any combination of such
remedies.
(ii) It is provided that all such proceedings shall be instituted and maintained for the
equal benefit of all Registered Owners of Bonds then outstanding.
(c) Remedies Not Exclusive.
(i) No remedy herein conferred or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other
available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Bonds or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of
this Ordinance, the right to accelerate the debt evidenced by the Bonds shall not be available
as a remedy under this Ordinance.
(ii) The exercise of any remedy herein conferred or reserved shall not be deemed a
waiver of any other available remedy.
(iii) By accepting the delivery of a Bond authorized under this Ordinance, such

23
a personal or pecuniary liability or charge against the officers, employees or councilmembers
of the Issuer.

Statements is not complete within 12 months after any such fiscal year end, then the Issuer shall file
unaudited Financial Statements within such 12-month period and audited Financial Statements for
the applicable fiscal year, when and if the audit report on such Financial Statements becomes
available.

required to provide financial information and operating data pursuant to this Section. The 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 documents available to the

receivership or similar event" means the appointment of a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer
for the Issuer in a proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or in any other proceeding under state
or federal law in which a court of governmental authority has assumed jurisdiction over substantially
all of the assets or business of the Issuer, or if jurisdiction has been assumed by leaving the Board
and officials or officers of the Issuer in possession but subject to the supervision and orders of a
court or governmental authority, or the entry of an order confirming a plan of reorganization,
arrangement or liquidation by a court or governmental authority having supervision or jurisdiction
over substantially all of the assets or business of the Issuer.
(iv) Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments. (A) The Issuer shall be obligated to
observe and perform the covenants specified in this Section for so long as, but only for so long as,
the Issuer remains an "obligated person" with respect to the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule,
except that the Issuer in any event will give notice of any deposit made in accordance with this
Ordinance or applicable law that causes the Bonds no longer to be outstanding.
(B) The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the registered owners and
beneficial owners of the Bonds, 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 Issuer
undertakes to provide only the financial information, operating data, financial statements, and
25
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 Issuer'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 Issuer does not make any representation or warranty concerning such information or
its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Bonds at any future date.
(C) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE ISSUER BE LIABLE TO THE
REGISTERED OWNER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY BOND OR ANY OTHER
PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART
FROM ANY BREACH BY THE ISSUER, WHETHER NEGLIGENT 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.
(D) No default by the Issuer in observing or performing its obligations under this Section
shall comprise a breach of or default under the Ordinance for purposes of any other provision of this
Ordinance. Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise limit the
duties of the Issuer under federal and state securities laws.
(E) The provisions of this Section may be amended by the Issuer 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 Issuer, but only if (1) the provisions
of this Section, as so amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Bonds in
the primary offering of the Bonds in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments
or interpretations of the Rule since such offering as well as such changed circumstances and (2)
either (a) the registered owners 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 Bonds consent to such amendment or (b) a person that is unaffiliated with the Issuer
(such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determined that such amendment will not materially
impair the interest of the registered owners and beneficial owners of the Bonds. If the Issuer so
amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include with any amended financial information or
operating data next provided in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section an explanation, in
narrative form, of the reason for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of
financial information or operating data so provided. The Issuer may also amend or repeal the
provisions of this continuing disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable
provision of the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that such provisions of the Rule
are invalid, but only if and to the extent that the provisions of this sentence would not prevent an
underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds.
Section 13. METHOD OF AMENDMENT. The Issuer hereby reserves the right to amend
this Ordinance subject to the following terms and conditions, to-wit:
26
(a) The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of any holder, except as otherwise
required by paragraph (b) below, amend or supplement this Ordinance in order to (i) cure any
ambiguity, defect or omission in this Ordinance that does not materially adversely affect the interests
of the holders, (ii) grant additional rights or security for the benefit of the holders, (iii) add events
of default as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance and that shall not
materially adversely affect the interests of the holders, (iv) qualify this Ordinance under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or corresponding provisions of federal laws from time to time
in effect, or (v) make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this
Ordinance as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance and that shall not in the
opinion of the Issuer's Bond Counsel materially adversely affect the interests of the holders.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (a) above, the holders of Bonds aggregating in principal
amount 51% of the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Bonds that are the subject of a
proposed amendment shall have the right from time to time to approve any amendment hereto that
may be deemed necessary or desirable by the Issuer; provided, however, that without the consent
of 100% of the holders in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Bonds, nothing herein
contained shall permit or be construed to permit amendment of the terms and conditions of this
Ordinance or in any of the Bonds so as to:
(1) Make any change in the maturity of any of the outstanding Bonds;
(2) Reduce the rate of interest borne by any of the outstanding Bonds;
(3) Reduce the amount of the principal of, or redemption premium, if any, payable
on any outstanding Bonds;
(4) Modify the terms of payment of principal or of interest or redemption premium
on outstanding Bonds or any of them or impose any condition with respect to such
payment; or
(5) Change the minimum percentage of the principal amount of any series of Bonds
necessary for consent to such amendment.
(c) If at any time the Issuer shall desire to amend this Ordinance under this Section, the
Issuer shall send by U.S. mail to each registered owner of the affected Bonds a copy of the proposed
amendment and cause notice of the proposed amendment to be published at least once in a financial
publication published in The City of New York, New York or in the State of Texas. Such published
notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed amendment and shall state that a copy thereof
is on file at the office of the Issuer for inspection by all holders of such Bonds.
(d) Whenever at any time within one year from the date of publication of such notice the
Issuer shall receive an instrument or instruments executed by the holders of at least 51% in
aggregate principal amount of all of the Bonds then outstanding that are required for the amendment,
which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed amendment and that shall specifically
27
consent to and approve such amendment, the Issuer may adopt the amendment in substantially the
same form.
(e) Upon the adoption of any amendatory Ordinance pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, this Ordinance shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance with such
amendatory Ordinance, and the respective rights, duties, and obligations of the Issuer and all holders
of such affected Bonds shall thereafter be determined, exercised, and enforced, subject in all respects
to such amendment.
(f) Any consent given by the holder of a Bond pursuant to the provisions of this Section
shall be irrevocable for a period of six months from the date of the publication of the notice provided
for in this Section, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all future holders of the same Bond
during such period. Such consent may be revoked at any time after six months from the date of the
publication of said notice by the holder who gave such consent, or by a successor in title, by filing
notice with the Issuer, but such revocation shall not be effective if the holders of 51% in aggregate
principal amount of the affected Bonds then outstanding, have, prior to the attempted revocation,
consented to and approved the amendment.
For the purposes of establishing ownership of the Bonds, the Issuer shall rely solely upon
the registration of the ownership of such Bonds on the registration books kept by the Paying
Agent/Registrar.
Section 14. SEVERABILITY. If any section, article, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase
or word in this Ordinance, or application thereof to any persons or circumstances is held invalid or
unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portion of this Ordinance, despite such invalidity, which remaining portions shall remain
in full force and effect.
Section 15. EFFECTIVE DATE. In accordance with the provisions of V.T.C.A.,
Government Code, Section 1201.028, this Ordinance shall be effective immediately upon its
adoption by the Town Council.

and Sinking Fund, from available funds of the Issuer, moneys sufficient to pay the interest coming
due on the Bonds on February 15, 2019.
