Certificates to be redeemed shall have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the

mandatory sinking fund shall be reduced by the principal amount of any Certificates 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

portion of a Certificate 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

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
Current Interest Certificate to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the day such notice of
redemption is mailed and to major securities depositories, national bond rating agencies and bond

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 Certificate. 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 Certificates or portions thereof which are to be so redeemed.

if any, for which this Certificate is being exchanged is due but has not been paid, then this
Certificate shall bear interest from the date to which such interest has been paid in full."
(C) The initial Certificate shall be numbered"T-1".
Section 6. INTEREST AND SINKING FUND. A special "Interest and Sinking Fund" is
hereby created and shall be established and maintained by the Issuer at an official depository bank
of the Issuer. Said Interest and Sinking Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds
and accounts of the Issuer, and shall be used only for paying the interest on and principal of the
Certificates. All amounts received from the sale of the Certificates as accrued interest and ad
valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of the Certificates shall be deposited, as
collected, to the credit of said Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year while any of the
Certificates are outstanding and unpaid,the governing body ofthe 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 the Certificates as such interest comes due, and to provide and maintain a
sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of the Certificates as such principal matures(but never
less than 2% of the original amount of the Certificates as a sinking fund each year); and said tax
17
shall be based on the latest approved tax rolls of the 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 the Issuer, for each year
while any of the Certificates 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 the
Certificates, as such interest comes due and such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such
payment,within the limit prescribed by law.
Section 7. SURPLUS REVENUES. The Certificates are additionally secured by and
payable from a pledge of the revenues of the Issuer's combined Waterworks and Sewer Systems
remaining after payment of all operation and maintenance expenses thereof(the"Net Revenues"),
and all debt service, reserve and other requirements in connection with all of the Issuer's revenue
obligations(now or hereafter outstanding) that are payable from all or part of the Net Revenues of
the Issuer's Waterworks and Sewer Systems, constituting "Surplus Revenues." The Issuer shall
deposit such Surplus Revenues to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund created pursuant to
Section 6, to the extent necessary to pay the principal and interest on the Certificates.
Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 6, if Surplus Revenues 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 oftaxes that otherwise would have been required to be levied pursuant
to Section 6 may be reduced to the extent and by the amount of the Surplus Revenues then on
deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund. The Issuer reserves the right, without condition or
limitation,to issue other obligations secured in whole or in part by a parity lien on and pledge of the
Surplus Revenues,for any purpose permitted by law.
Section 8. DEFEASANCE OF CERTIFICATES.

and no longer outstanding(a"Defeased Certificate") within the meaning of this Ordinance,except
to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section, when payment of the principal of such
Certificate,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 Certificates shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Certificate shall be
deemed to be a Defeased Certificate hereunder,as aforesaid,such Certificate 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
18
•
further responsibility with respect to amounts available to the Paying Agent/Registrar (or other
financial institution permitted by applicable law) for the payment of such Defeased Certificates,
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 Certificates that is made in conjunction
with the payment arrangements specified in subsection (aXi) or (ii) of this Section 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 Certificates for redemption;(2)gives notice
of the reservation of that right to the Registered Owners of the Defeased Certificates 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) Investment and Disposition of Funds. Any moneys so deposited with the Paying
Agent/Registrar may at the written direction of the Issuer also 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
Certificates 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 Certificates may contain provisions permitting the investment or reinvestment of such
moneys in Defeasance Securities or the substitution of other Defeasance Securities upon the
satisfaction ofthe requirements specified in subsection(aXi)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 Certificates,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) Defeasance Securities. Subject to any statement to the contrary that may be included in
the Pricing Certificate,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 Certificates.
(d) Paying Agent/Registrar Services. Until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due
and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for
such Defeased Certificates the same as if they had not been defeased, and the Issuer shall make
proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Ordinance.
(e) Selection of Defeased Certificates. In the event that the Issuer elects to defease less than
all of the principal amount of Certificates of a maturity,the Paying Agent/Registrar shall select,or
cause to be selected, such amount of Certificates by such random method as it deems fair and
appropriate.

CERTIFICATES.

mutilated,lost,stolen,or destroyed,the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed,executed,

damaged,mutilated,lost,stolen,or destroyed Certificate,in replacement for such Certificate in the
manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for Replacement Certificates. Application for replacement of damaged,
mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificates shall be made by the Registered Owner thereof to
the Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Certificate, the
Registered Owner applying for a replacement certificate 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 Certificate, 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 Certificate.
In every case of damage or mutilation of a Certificate,the Registered Owner shall surrender to the
Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Certificate so damaged or mutilated.
(c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section,in the
event any such Certificate shall have matured,and no default has occurred which is then continuing
in the payment of the principal ofor interest on the Certificate,the Issuer may authorize the payment

instead of issuing a replacement Certificate, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above
provided in this Section.

certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the Registered Owner of such Certificate with
all legal,printing,and other expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement certificate issued
pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Certificate is lost,stolen,or
destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen, or
destroyed Certificate 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 Certificates
duly issued under this Ordinance.
(e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Certificates. In accordance with Subchapter B,
Chapter 1206,Texas Government Code, this Section shall constitute authority for the issuance of
any such replacement certificate 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 certificates is hereby
authorized and imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver such Certificates in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided
in Section 4(b) of this Ordinance for Certificates issued in conversion and exchange for other
Certificates.

Section 11. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON THE
CERTIFICATES. Subject to the determination of the Pricing Officer, as set forth in the Pricing
Certificate as to the treatment of the Certificates pursuant to the Code, the Issuer makes the
following covenants with respect to the Certificates.
(a) Covenants. The Issuer covenants to take any action necessary to assure,or refrain from
any action which would adversely affect,the treatment of the Certificates as obligations described
in section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,as amended(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
Certificates or the projects financed therewith(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 therewith 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
Certificates, in contravention of section 141(bX2)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 Certificates or
the projects financed therewith(less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any)then the
amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a"private business use"which is"related"and not
"disproportionate,"within the meaning ofsection 141(bx3)of the Code,to the governmental
use;
(3) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of
$5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates(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 which would otherwise result in the Certificates
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 Certificates 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 Certificates, directly or
indirectly,to acquire or to replace funds which were used,directly or indirectly, to acquire
investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces a
22
materially higher yield over the term of the Certificates, other than investment property
acquired with —
(A) proceeds of the Certificates 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 certificates 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
Certificates;
(7) to otherwise restrict the use ofthe proceeds of the Certificates or amounts treated
as proceeds of the Certificates,as may be necessary,so that the Certificates do not otherwise
contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code(relating to arbitrage);
(8) to refrain from using the proceeds of the Certificates or proceeds of any prior
bonds to pay debt service on another issue more than 90 days after the date of issue of the
Certificates 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 Certificates)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 Certificates have been
paid in full, 100 percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings
under section 148(f)of the Code.
(b) Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant(9), 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
certificateholders. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with
section 148 of the Code.
(c) Proceeds. The Issuer understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition
proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred
proceeds(if any) and proceeds of the refunded certificates or bonds expended prior to the date of
issuance of the Certificates. 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 which modify or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the
Certificates, 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 Certificates under
23
section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which
impose additional requirements which are applicable to the Certificates,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 Certificates
under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the Issuer hereby authorizes and
directs the Mayor or City Manager to execute any documents,certificates or reports required by the
Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the Issuer, which may be permitted by the Code as
are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Certificates.
(d) Allocation of,and Limitation on,Expenditures for the Project. The Issuer covenants to
account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings to be used for the purposes
described in Section 1 of this Ordinance(the"Project")on its books and records in accordance with
the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Issuer recognizes that in order for the proceeds
to be considered used for the reimbursement of costs,the proceeds must be allocated to expenditures
within 18 months of the later of the date that (1) the expenditure is made, or (2) the Project is
completed; but in no event later than three years after the date on which the original expenditure is
paid. The foregoing notwithstanding,the Issuer recognizes that in order for proceeds to be expended
under the Internal Revenue Code, the sale proceeds or investment earnings must be expended no
more than 60 days after the earlier of(1)the fifth anniversary of the delivery of the Certificate, or
(2)the date the Certificate is retired. The Issuer agrees to obtain the advice of nationally-recognized
bond counsel if such expenditure fails to comply with the foregoing to assure that such expenditure
will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Certificate. 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.
(e) Disposition of Project. The Issuer covenants that the property financed with the proceeds
ofthe Certificates in accordance with the Election,as described in the recitals to this Ordinance will
not be sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the Issuer of cash or
other compensation,unless any action taken in connection with such disposition will not adversely
affect the tax-exempt status of the Certificates. For purpose of the foregoing,the Issuer may rely
on an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that the action taken in connection with such
sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Certificates. 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 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 12. SALE OF CERTIFICATES; OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
(a) The Certificates shall be sold and delivered subject to the provisions of Sections 1 and
3 and pursuant to the terms and provisions of a certificate purchase agreement, notice of sale and
bidding instructions or private placement agreement(collectively,the"Purchase Agreement")which
24
the Pricing Officer is hereby authorized to execute and deliver and in which the purchaser or
purchasers(collectively, the"Purchaser") of the Certificates shall be designated. The Certificates
shall initially be registered in the name of the purchaser thereof as set forth in the Pricing Certificate.
(b) The Pricing Officer is hereby authorized, in the name and on behalf of the Issuer, to
approve,distribute,and deliver a preliminary official statement and a final official statement relating
to the Certificates to be used by the Purchaser in the marketing of the Certificates.
Section 13. CONTINUED PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Chapter 1208,
Government Code,applies to the issuance of the Certificates and the pledge of the ad valorem taxes
granted by the Issuer under Section 6 of this Ordinance and the pledge of the Surplus Revenues
under Section 7 of this Ordinance, and such pledge is therefore valid, effective, and perfected. If
Texas law is amended at any time while the Certificates are outstanding and unpaid such that the
pledge of the taxes granted by the Issuer under Section 6 of this Ordinance or the pledge of the
Surplus Revenues under Section 7 of this Ordinance is to be subject to the filing requirements of
Chapter 9, Business &Commerce Code,then in order to preserve to the registered owners of the
Certificates the perfection of the security interest in said pledges, 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 to perfect the
security interest in said pledges to occur.

REGISTERED OWNER 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 ISSUER,WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON
ITS PART,OF ANY COVENANT SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION,BUT EVERY RIGHT AND

change in the identity,nature,status,or type of operations ofthe Issuer,but only if(1)the provisions
ofthis Section,as so amended,would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Certificates

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 provisions of this continuing disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable

underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Certificates in the primary offering of the
Certificates.

agree to provide for an undertaking in accordance with the Rule or may agree to provide other public
information to the purchaser as may be necessary for the sale of the Certificates on the most

amendment in substantially the same form.

notice of such default is given by any Registered Owner to the Issuer.

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.
(b) It is provided that all such proceedings shall be instituted and maintained for the
equal benefit of all Registered Owners of Certificates then outstanding.
Section 21. REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE. (a) No remedy herein conferred or reserved
