Section 3. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CERTIFICATES.
(a) Appointment of Paying Agent/Registrar. The Issuer hereby appoints Regions Bank,

Agent/Registrar"). The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem, the City Manager, Finance Director, City
Secretary and all other officers, employees and agents of the Issuer, and each of them, are
authorized and directed to execute and deliver in the name and under the corporate seal and on
behalf of the Issuer a Paying Agent/Registrar Agreement with the Paying Agent/Registrar in
substantially the form presented at this meeting.
(b) Registration, Transfer, Conversion and Exchange. The Issuer shall keep or cause to
be kept at the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent/Registrar books or records for the
registration of the transfer, conversion and exchange of the Certificates (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 within three days of presentation in due and proper form. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall obtain and record in the Registration Books the address of the registered
owner of each Certificate to which payments with respect to the Certificates 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 Certificate or Certificates.
Registration of assignments, transfers, conversions and exchanges of Certificates shall be made in
the manner provided and with the effect stated in the FORM OF CERTIFICATE set forth in this
Ordinance. Each substitute Certificate shall bear a letter and/or number to distinguish it from
each other Certificate.
(c) Authentication. Except as provided in subsection (i) of this section, an authorized
representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, before the delivery of any such Certificate, date
and manually sign said Certificate, and no such Certificate shall be deemed to be issued or
outstanding unless such Certificate is so executed. The Paying Agent/Registrar promptly shall
cancel all paid Certificates and Certificates 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 Certificate or portion thereof, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall provide for the printing,
execution and delivery of the substitute Certificates in the manner prescribed herein. Pursuant to
Subchapter D, Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code, the duty of conversion and exchange of
3
Certificates as aforesaid is hereby imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and, upon the
execution of said Certificate, the converted and exchanged Certificate shall be valid, incontestable,
and enforceable in the same manner and with the same effect as the Certificates which initially
were issued and delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, approved by the Attorney General, and
registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts.
(d) Payment of Principal 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
Certificates, 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
Certificates, and of all conversions and exchanges of Certificates, and all replacements of
Certificates, 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 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 (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.
(e) Payment to Registered Owner. 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 Certificate is registered in the Registration Books as the
absolute owner of such Certificate for the purpose of payment of principal and interest with respect
to such Certificate, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Certificate, and for
all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest
on the Certificates 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 Certificates 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 certificated Certificate evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of
principal and interest pursuant to this Ordinance.
(f) Paying Agent/Registrar. The Issuer covenants with the registered owners of the
Certificates that at all times while the Certificates are outstanding the Issuer will provide a
competent and legally qualified bank, trust company, financial institution or other agency to act as
and perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Certificates under this Ordinance, and
that the Paying Agent/Registrar will be one entity. 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.
(g) Substitute Paying Agent/Registrar. The Issuer reserves the right to, and may, at its
option, change the Paying Agent/Registrar upon not less than 120 days written notice to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, to be effective not later than 60 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
4
(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 agency to act as Paying Agent/Registrar under this
Ordinance. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the previous Paying Agent/Registrar

pertinent books and records relating to the Certificates, to the new Paying Agent/Registrar
designated and appointed by the Issuer. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the

to each registered owner of the Certificates, by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid,
which notice also shall give the address of the new Paying Agent/Registrar.

of a separate single fully registered Certificate for each of the maturities thereof and the ownership

0) of this Section, all of the outstanding Certificates shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
as nominee of DTC.
(i) Blanket Letter of Representations. The previous execution and delivery of the Blanket
Issuer 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 Certificates.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while the Certificates are subject to
DTC's Book -Entry Only System and to the extent permitted by law, the Blanket Issuer Letter of
Representations is hereby incorporated herein and its provisions shall prevail over any other
provisions of this Ordinance in the event of conflict.
0) Certificates Registered in the Name of Cede & Co. With respect to Certificates
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

Participant holds an interest in the Certificates. Without limiting the immediately preceding

respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC Participant with respect
to any ownership interest in the Certificates, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other
person, other than a registered owner of Certificates, as shown on the Registration Books, of any
notice with respect to the Certificates, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other
person, other than a registered owner of Certificates, as shown in the Registration Books of any
amount with respect to principal of or interest on the Certificates. 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 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.
(k) 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
5
herein and in the representation letter of the Issuer to DTC or that it is in the best interest of the
beneficial owners of the Certificates that they be able to obtain certificated Certificates, 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 Certificates
to such successor securities depository or (ii) notify DTC and DTC Participants of the availability
through DTC of Certificates and transfer one or more separate Certificates to DTC Participants
having Certificates credited to their DTC accounts. In such event, the Certificates 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 Certificates shall
designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.
(1) Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to
the contrary, so long as any Certificate is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of
DTC, all payments with respect to principal of and interest on such Certificate and all notices with
respect to such Certificate shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the
representation letter of the Issuer to DTC.

The principal amount of Term Certificates of a stated maturity required to be redeemed on any
mandatory redemption date pursuant to the operation of the mandatory sinking fund redemption
provisions shall be reduced, at the option of the Issuer, by the principal amount of any Term
Certificates of the same maturity which, at least 45 days prior to a mandatory redemption date (1)
shall have been acquired by the Issuer at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such Term
Certificates plus accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to the Paying
Agent/Registrar for cancellation, (2) shall have been purchased and canceled by the Paying
Agent/Registrar at the request of the Issuer at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such
Term Certificates plus accrued interest to the date of purchase, or (3) shall have been redeemed
pursuant to the optional redemption provisions and not theretofore credited against a mandatory

AT LEAST 30 days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of Certificates or portions
thereof prior to maturity a written notice of such redemption shall be sent by the Paying
9
Agent/Registrar by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the registered owner of each
Certificate to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the 45th day prior to such redemption
date; 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 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 that 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 Certificates or portions thereof that 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 for such payment. If a portion of any Certificate shall be redeemed, a substitute
Certificate or Certificates having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate, in any
denomination or denominations in any integral multiple of $5,000, at the written request of the
registered owner, and in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof, will
be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender thereof for cancellation, at the expense of the
Issuer, all as provided in the Certificate Ordinance.
IF AT THE TIME OF MAILING of notice of optional redemption there shall not have
either been deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar or legally authorized escrow agent
immediately available funds sufficient to redeem all the Certificates called for redemption, such
notice may state that it is conditional, and is subject to the deposit of the redemption moneys with
the Paying Agent/Registrar or legally authorized escrow agent at or prior to the redemption date,
and such notice shall be of no effect unless such moneys are so deposited on or prior to the
redemption date. If such redemption is not effectuated, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, within
five days thereafter, give notice in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given that
such moneys were not so received and shall rescind the redemption.
ALL CERTIFICATES OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully registered certificates,
without interest coupons, in the denomination of any integral multiple of $5,000. As provided in
the Certificate Ordinance, this Certificate may, at the request of the registered owner or the
assignee or assignees hereof, be assigned, transferred, converted into and exchanged for a like
aggregate principal amount of fully registered certificates, without interest coupons, payable to the
appropriate registered owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, having the same
denomination or denominations in any integral multiple of $5,000 as requested in writing by the

(i) The initial Certificate shall be in the form set forth is paragraph (a) of this
Section, except that:
A. immediately under the name of the Certificate, the headings "Interest
Rate" and "Maturity Date" shall both be completed with the words "As shown
below" and "CUSIP No. " shall be deleted.
B. the first paragraph shall be deleted and the following will be inserted:
"THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS, in Collin County, 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 February 15 in each of the years, in the principal installments and bearing interest at
the per annum rates set forth in the following schedule:
Years Principal Amounts Interest Rates
(Information from Section 2 to be inserted)
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 Delivery Date specified above at the
respective Interest Rate per annum specified above. Interest is payable on February 15, 2025, and
semiannually on each August 15 and February 15 thereafter to the date of payment of the principal
installment specified above, or the date of redemption prior to maturity; except, that if this
Certificate 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
13
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 Certificate or Certificates,
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- L"
Section 5. TAX LEVY; INTEREST AND SINKING FUND; SURPLUS REVENUES.
(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 Certificates. Any amounts received from
the sale of the Certificates as accrued interest 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 Certificates
shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit of said Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year
while any of said Certificates 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 Certificates as such interest comes due, and
to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of said Certificates as such
principal matures (but never less than 2% of the original amount of said Certificates 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 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 said Certificates, as such interest comes due and such principal matures or is
scheduled for redemption, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by
law.
(b) The Certificates are additionally secured by and payable from surplus revenues of the
Issuer's waterworks and sewer system (the "System") that remain after the payment of all
maintenance and operation expenses thereof, and all debt service, reserve and other requirements
in connection with all of the Issuer's revenue bonds or other obligations (now or hereafter
outstanding) that are secured by a lien on all or any part of the net revenues of the System, such
revenues constituting "Surplus Revenues." The Issuer shall deposit such Surplus Revenues to the
credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund created pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, to the
extent necessary to pay the principal and interest on the Certificates. Notwithstanding the
requirements of subsection (a) of this section, if Surplus Revenues or other lawfully available funds
are actually on deposit, or Surplus Revenues are budgeted for deposit as hereinafter provided, 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 subsection (a) of this section may be reduced to the extent and by the amount of the
Surplus Revenues or other lawfully available funds then on deposit, or Surplus Revenues budgeted
for deposit as hereinafter provided, in the Interest and Sinking Fund. However, if the Surplus
Revenues are budgeted for deposit into the Interest and Sinking Fund, the Issuer:
14
(i) shall transfer and deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund each month an
amount of not less than 1/121h of the annual debt service on the Certificates to be paid from
Surplus Revenues until the amount on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund, together
with the amount of ad valorem taxes levied for the Interest and Sinking Fund, equals the
amount required for annual debt service on the Certificates;
(ii) shall establish, adopt and maintain an annual budget that provides for either
the monthly deposit of sufficient Surplus Revenues and/or tax revenues, the monthly
deposit of any other legally available funds on hand at the time of the adoption of the annual
budget, or a combination thereof, into the Interest and Sinking Fund for the repayment of
the Certificates; and
(iii) shall at all times maintain and collect sufficient System rates and charges in
conjunction with any other legally available funds that, after payment of the costs of
operating and maintaining the System, produce net revenues in an amount not less than the
debt service requirements of all outstanding System revenue bonds of the Issuer and other
obligations of the Issuer which are secured in whole or in part by a pledge of revenues of
the System, for which the Issuer is budgeting the repayment of such obligations from the
revenues of the System, or the Issuer shall provide documentation which evidences the
levy of an ad valorem tax rate dedicated to the Interest and Sinking Fund, in conjunction
with any other legally available funds except System rates and charges, sufficient for the
repayment of System debt service requirements.
(c) Chapter 1208, Texas Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Certificates and
the pledge of the taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the Issuer under this Section, and is
therefore valid, effective, and perfected. Should Texas law be amended at any time while the
Certificates are outstanding and unpaid, the result of such amendment being that the pledge of the
taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the Issuer under this Section, is to be subject to the filing
requirements of Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code, in order to preserve to the
registered owners of the Certificates 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, Texas Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing of a
security interest in said pledge to occur.
Section 6. DEFEASANCE OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) Any Certificate and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired 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
15
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 or the pledge of Surplus Revenues 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
such paying agent (or other financial institution permitted by applicable law) for the payment of
such Defeased Certificates, including any insufficiency therein caused by the failure of such
paying agent (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 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 Certificates for redemption; (2) gives notice
of the reservation of that right to the 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) 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 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 of the requirements specified
in subsection 6(a)(i) or (ii). 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) 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) 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)• 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.
16
Section 7. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED
CERTIFICATES.
(a) Replacement Certificates. In the event any outstanding Certificate is damaged,
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed
and delivered, a new certificate of the same principal amount, maturity and interest rate, as the
damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, in replacement for such Certificate in the
manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for Replacement Certificates.
ertifcates. 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,
as the case may be. 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 that is then
continuing in the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the
Certificate, the Issuer may authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in
the case of a damaged or mutilated Certificate) instead of issuing a replacement Certificate,
provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section.
(d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Certificates. Prior to the issuance of any
replacement 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 Section
1206.022, Texas Government Code, this Section 7 of this Ordinance 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 3(a) of this Ordinance for Certificates issued in conversion and
exchange for other Certificates.
17
Section 8. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON THE
CERTIFICATES.
(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 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 (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 or refinanced 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(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 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" 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 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 that 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 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 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 refunding bonds, for a period of 90 days or less,
until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Certificates or
refunding bonds are issued,
18
(B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning
of section 1.148-1(b) of the rules and regulations of the United States Department
of the Treasury (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 of the 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 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);
(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; and
(10) to assure that the proceeds of the Certificates will be used solely for new
money projects.
(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 holders of the Certificates. 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 refunding bonds, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the
refunded 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 that 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 section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations
or rulings are hereafter promulgated that impose additional requirements 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 City Manager and Finance Director of
19
the City 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 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
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 Certificates or investment earnings thereon more than 60 days after the earlier of (1) the
fifth anniversary of the delivery of the Certificates, or (2) the date the Certificates 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 Certificates 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.
(e) Disposition of Project. The Issuer covenants that the Project will not be sold or
otherwise disposed 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 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.
Section 9. SALE OF CERTIFICATES AND APPROVAL OF OFFICIAL STATEMENT;
FURTHER PROCEDURES.

2252.908(c)(4), Texas Government Code. The sale of the Certificates to the Initial Purchaser was

provisions of this Ordinance, the Certificates, the sale of the Certificates and the Official

sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery.

certificate proceeds that are required to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to
Section 9 hereof in order to prevent the Certificates from being arbitrage bonds shall be so rebated
and not considered as interest earnings for the purposes of this Section.

costs, any moneys remaining on deposit in said Fund shall be transferred to the Interest and Sinking
Fund. Amounts so deposited to the Interest and Sinking Fund shall be used in the manner
described in Section 5 of this Ordinance.
(b) The Issuer may place proceeds of the Certificates (including investment earnings
thereon) and amounts deposited into the Interest and Sinking Fund in investments authorized by

used as soon as practicable for the purposes for which the Certificates are issued.

extent required by law for the security of public funds.

by the time required by such subsection.
(c) Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments.
(i) 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 Certificates within the meaning of the Rule, except that the
Issuer in any event will give the notice required by Subsection (d) hereof of any Certificate
calls and defeasance that cause the Issuer to no longer be such an "obligated person".
(ii) The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the registered owners
and beneficial owners of the Certificates, and nothing in this Section, express or implied,
shall give any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder to any
other person. The Issuer undertakes to provide only the financial information, operating
data, financial statements, and notices which it has expressly agreed to provide pursuant to

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.
(iv) 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
24
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.
(v) 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 Certificates in the primary offering of the Certificates 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 Certificates consent to such amendment or (b) a person that is unaffiliated

include with any amended financial information or operating data next provided in
accordance with subsection (a) 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

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 Certificates
in the primary offering of the Certificates.
