equal to the unpaid or unredeemed principal amount of any bond or bonds so surrendered, and payable to the
appropriate registered owner, assignee, or assignees, as the case may be. If a portion of any Bond shall be
redeemed prior to its scheduled maturity as provided herein, a substitute bond or bonds having the same maturity
date, bearing interest at the same rate, in the denomination or denominations of any integral multiple of $:5,000
at the request of the registered owner, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
thereof, will be issued to the registered owner upon surrender thereof for cancellation. If any Bond or portion
thereof is assigned and transferred, each bond issued in exchange therefor shall have the same principal maturity
date and bear interest at the same rate as the bond for which it is being exchanged. Each substitute bond shall
bear a letter and/or number to distinguish it from each other bond. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall exchange
or replace Bonds as provided herein, and each fully registered bond delivered in exchange for or replacement of
any bond or portion thereof as permitted or required by any provision of this Ordinance shall constitute one of
the Bonds for all purposes of this Ordinance, and may again be exchanged or replaced. It is specifically provided,
however, that any bond delivered in exchange for or replacement of another bond prior to the first scheduled
interest payment date on the Bonds (as stated on the face thereof) shall be dated the same date as such bond, but
each substitute bond so delivered on or after such first scheduled interest payment date shall be dated as of the
interest payment date preceding the date on which such substitute bond is delivered, unless such bond is delivered
on an interest payment date, in which case it shall be dated as of such date of delivery; provided, however, that
if at the time of delivery of any substitute bond the interest on the bond for which it is being exchanged has not
been paid, then such bond shall be dated as of the date to which such interest has been paid in full. On each
substitute bond issued in exchange for or replacement of any bond or bonds issued under this Ordinance there
shall be printed thereon a Paying Agent/Registrm"s Authentication Certificate, in the form hereinafter set forth.
An authorized representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, before the delivery of any such bond, date such
by dating the Authentication Certificate in the manner set forth above, and manually sign such Certificate, and
no such bond shall be deemed to be issued or outstanding unless such Certificate is so executed. The Paying
Agent/Registrar promptly shall cancel all Bonds surrendered for exchange or replacement. No additional
ordinances, orders, or resolutions need be passed or adopted by the City Council or any other body or person so
as to accomplish the foregoing exchange or replacement 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 of type composition printed on paper with lithographed or steel
engraved borders of customary weight and strength pursuant to Article 717k-6, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes,

redemption of Bonds and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (2) to transfer or
exchange any Bond after it is selected for redemption, in whole or in part when such redemption is scheduled
to occur within 30 calendar days; provided, however, that such limitation shah not be applicable to an exchange
by the owner of the uncalled principal balance of a Bond.

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 redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, (iii) may be
transferred and assigned, (iv) may be exchanged for other Bonds, (v) shall have the characteristics, (vi) shall be

making transfers, conversions, and exchanges of the Bonds in accordance with an agreement between the City
and the Paying Agent/Registrar, but the registered owner of any Bond requesting such transfer shall pay any taxes
or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto. In addition, the City hereby covenants

relating to the Bonds, to the new Paying Agent/Registrar designated and appointed by the City. Upon any change

(commencing with respect to the Bonds and any Additional Bonds on the date of delivery to the initial purchaser

extent as the outstanding Parity Bonds but subject to the remaining provisions hereof, and the Previously Issued
Parity Bonds, the Bonds, and the Additional Bonds may be in all respects of equal dignity. It is provided,
however, that no Additional Bonds shall be issued unless:
(a) As long as any of the Previously Issued Parity Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, all material conditions
set forth in the Parity Bonds Ordinances are satisfied;
(b) As long as any of the Previously Issued Parity Bonds are outstanding, the "net earnings" (defined below)
of the Systems for the fiscal year next preceding the month in which the ordinance authorizing such Additional

independently and certified by an independent firm of certified public accountants, based upon an annual audit
of the books of the Systems;

Systems, certified that the net earnings of the Systems for the previous fiscal year or for any 12 consecutive

Additional Bonds or other evidence of indebtedness were equal to each of the following determined
independently:

period covered thereby were, in either case, less than required above, and a change in the rates and charges for
the services afforded by the Systems became effective at least 60 days prior to the scheduled date of adoption
of the ordinance authorizing such Additional Bonds, then such Additional Bonds may nevertheless be issued if
an independent engineer or engineering firm having a favorable reputation with respect to such matters certifies
that, had such change in rates and charges been effective for the entire period covered by the accountant's
certificate would have met the tests specified in (i) and (ii) above.
The term "net earnings" as used in this Section shall mean all of the Net Revenues, exclusive of income
received specifically for capital items, after deduction of the reasonable expenses of operation and maintenance
of the Systems excluding expenditures which under standard accounting practice should be charged to capital
expenditures or depreciation;

of the years in which they are scheduled to mature; and

are to be issued) or the City shall establish a reserve fund for such Additional Bonds by any method or
combination of methods that the City deems reasonable and appropriate provided that (i) the amount of such
15
reserve fund (or coverage of any surety bond in lieu thereof) shall at least equal the maximum annual debt service
requirements of such Additional Bonds, not to exceed the maximum then permitted by applicable regulations,
procedures, or published rulings ofthe Internal Revenue Service (the "Reserve Minimum"); (ii) if any cash reserve
fund is funded by making transfers of Net Revenues in the Systems Fund, such transfers shall be made each
month in an amount reasonably sufficient to reach the Reserve Minimum within a period of not more than five
years after such Additional Bonds are sold and delivered; and (iii) such reserve fund shall be for the equal benefit
of the owner of (x) such Additional Bonds, (y) any Parity Bonds theretofore issued which are not insured in
manner similar to the Previously Issued Parity Bonds, and (z) any Additional Bonds thereafter issued which are
not so insured.

activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code;
(ii) To take any action to assure that no more than 10% of the proceeds of the Bonds or the projects
financed therewith are used for any "private business use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or,
if more than 10% of the proceeds or the projects financed therewith are so used, that amounts, whether or
not received by the City with respect to such private business use, do not under the terms of this Resolution
or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10%
of the debt service on the Bonds, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Codel
(iii) To take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described in
paragraph (ii) hereof exceeds :5% of the proceeds of the Bonds or the projects financed therewith, then the

within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use;
(iv) To take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of $:5,000,000 or 5%
of the proceeds of the Bonds 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;
(v) To refrain from taking any action which would result in the Bonds being "federally guaranteed"
within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
(vi) Except to the extent permitted by section 148 of the Code and the regulations and rulings
thereunder, to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, 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 materially higher yield over the term of the Bonds.
(vii) 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) and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to
advance refundings);
(viii) Except to the extent otherwise provided in section 148(0 of the Code and the regulations and
rulings thereunder, 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% of the "Excess
Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(0 of the Code, and to pay to the United States of America,
not later than 60 days at, er the Bonds have been paid in full, 100% of the amount then required to be paid
as a result of Excess Earnings under section 148(0 of the Code;
(ix) To maintain such records as will enable the City to fulfill its responsibilities under this subsection
and sections 141 and 148 of the Code and to retain such records for at least six years following the final
payment of principal and interest on the Bonds; and
(x) To comply with the information reporting requirements of section 149(3) of the Code.
For the purposes of the foregoing, in the case ora refunding bond, the term proceeds includes transferred proceeds
and, for purposes of paragraphs (ii) and (iii), proceeds of the refunded bonds.
The covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any regulations or
rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings
are hereat~er promulgated which modify or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Bonds, the City
will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the extent that such modification or
expansion, in the opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross
income of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are here-
after promulgated which impose additional requirements which are applicable to the Bonds, the City agrees to
comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally-recognized bond
counsel, to preserve the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code.
Proper officers of the City charged with the responsibility of issuing the Bonds are hereby authorized and
directed to execute any documents, certificates, or reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on
behalf of the City, which may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of
the Bonds.
18

from gross income of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code the covenants contained in this
subsection shall survive the later of the defeasance or discharge of the Bonds.
(b) Covenants Regarding Sale, Lease, or Disposition of Financed Properly. The City covenants that the City
will regulate the use of the property financed, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the Bonds and will not

the form cfa separate single definitive Bond for each maturity. Upon issuance, the ownership of each such Bond

Participant"). Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall
have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co., or any
Depository Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, or (ii) the delivery to any Depository
Participant or any Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered owner of a Bond, of any amount
with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. While in the DTC System, no person
other than Cede & Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for DTC, shall receive a Bond evidencing the
obligation of the City to make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest pursuant to this Ordinance.

herein and in the Representation Letter, (b) the Representation Letter shall be terminated for any reason, or (c)
DTC or the City determines that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the Bonds that they be able
to obtain certificated Bonds, the City shall notify the Paying Agent/Registrar, DTC, and Depository Participants
of the availability within a reasonable period of time through DTC of certificated certificates, and the Bonds shall
no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. At that time, the City
may determine that the Bonds shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository
operating a securities depository system, as may be acceptable to the City, or such depository's agent or designee,
and if the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar do not select such alternate securities depository system then the
Bonds may be registered in whatever names the registered owners of Bonds transferring or exchanging the Bonds
shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered
in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, in the
manner provided in the Representation Letter.

such time as will insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide for such payment,

its services until all Older Bonds shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Bond shall be deemed
to be a Older Bond hereunder, as aforesaid, such Bond and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by,

be invested as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from such Government Obligations received by the Paying
Agent/Registrar which is not required for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon, with respect to which
