United States of America, which may be United States Trea-
sury obligations such as its State and Local Government
Series, which may be in book -entry form.
(d) Until all Defeased Contractual Obligations shall
have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar
shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for
such Defeased Contractual Obligations 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.
Section 12. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LAST, STOLEN, OR
DESTROYED CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. (a) Replacement Con-
tractual obligations. In the event any outstanding Contrac-
tual Obligation is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or
destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be
printed, executed, and delivered, a new Contractual
Obligation of the same principal amount, maturity, and
interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or
005261
15
destroyed Contractual Obligation, in replacement for such
Contractual Obligation in the manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for Replacement Contractual Oblioa
tions. Application for replacement of damaged, mutilated,
lost, stolen, or destroyed Contractual Obligations shall be
made by the registered owner thereof to the Paying
Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft, or de-
struction of a Contractual Obligation, the registered owner
applying for a replacement contractual obligation 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 Issuer, 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
Contractual Obligation, as the case may be. In every case
of damage or mutilation of a Contractual Obligation, the
registered owner shall surrender to the Paying
Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Contractual obligation
so damaged or mutilated.
(c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the forego-
ing provisions of this Section 12, in the event any such
Contractual Obligation shall have matured, and no default
has occurred which is then continuing in the payment of the
principal of or interest on this Contractual Obligation, the
Issuer may authorize the payment of the same (without
surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mu-
tilated Contractual Obligation) instead of issuing a
replacement contractual obligation, provided security or
indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section 12.
(d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Contractual obliga-
tions. Prior to the issuance of any replacement contractual
obligation, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the
registered owner of such Contractual Obligation with all
legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith.
Every replacement contractual obligation issued pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 12 by virtue of the fact that
any Contractual Obligation is lost, stolen, or destroyed
shall constitute an obligation of the Issuer whether or not
the lost, stolen, or destroyed Contractual Obligation 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 Contractual
Obligations duly issued under this Ordinance.
(e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Contractual
Obligations. In accordance with Section 6 of Vernon's Ann.
Tex. Civ. St. Art. 717k-6, this Section 12 of this Ordinance
shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such
replacement certificate without necessity of further action
16 005262
by the Issuer or any other body or person, and the duty of
the replacement of such Contractual Obligations is hereby
authorized and imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver
such Contractual Obligations in the form and manner and with
the effect, as provided in Section 4(a) of this Ordinance
for Contractual Obligations issued in conversion and ex-
change of other Contractual Obligations.
Section 13. CUSTODY, APPROVAL, AND REGISTRATION OF
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. The Mayor and/or the Director of
Finance of the Issuer is hereby authorized to have control
of the Contractual Obligations initially issued and deliver-
ed hereunder and all necessary records and proceedings
pertaining to the Contractual Obligations 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 Contractual
Obligations 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 the Contractual Obligations, and the seal of
said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile,
on the Contractual Obligations.
Section 14. CONTRACTUAL UNDERTAKING WITH REGISTERED
OWNER. The Issuer hereby, and by the acceptance of each of
the Contractual Obligations, contractually obligates and
commits itself to utilize the net proceeds available from
the issuance and delivery of the Contractual Obligations,
after payment of costs of issuance related thereto, for the
acquisition or purchase of the Property in accordance with
this Ordinance and the Issuer's plan of acquisition there-
for.
Section 15. REMEDIES IN EVENT OF DEFAULT. In addition
to all of the rights and remedies provided by the laws of
the State of Texas, the Issuer covenants and agrees that in
the event of default in payment of principal or interest on
any of the Contractual Obligations when due; in the event it
fails to make the payments required to be made into the
Interest and Sinking Fund; or in the event it defaults in
the observance or performance of any other of the contracts,
covenants, conditions, or obligations set forth in this
Ordinance, the registered owners shall be entitled to a writ
of mandamus issued by a court of competent jurisdiction
compelling and requiring the Issuer and the officials
thereof to observe and perform the contracts, covenants,
obligations, or conditions prescribed.in this Ordinance and
any delay or omission to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any default shall not impair any such right or
power nor be construed to be a waiver of any such default or
acquiescence therein, and every such right and power may be
005263
17
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient.
Section 16. COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER. A. General
Covenants. The Issuer covenants and represents that:
(1) The Issuer is a duly incorporated Home Rule
City, having more than 5000 inhabitants, operating and
existing under the Constitution and laws of the State
of Texas, and is duly authorized under the laws of the
State of Texas to create and issue Contractual Obliga-
tions; all action on its part for the creation and
issuance of the Contractual Obligations has been duly
and effectively taken; and the Contractual obligations
in the hands of the Owners thereof are and will be
valid and enforceable obligations of the Issuer in
accordance with their terms; and
(2) The Contractual Obligations shall be ratably
secured in such manner that no one Contractual
Obligation shall have preference over other Contractual
Obligations.
B. Specific Covenants. The Issuer covenants and
represents that, while the Contractual Obligations are
outstanding and unpaid, it will:
(1) Proceed to acquire with all due diligence and
dispatch so much of the Property as shall have been
financed with the proceeds of the Contractual obliga-
tions and, if necessary, as described in subsection D
of this Section 16 to expend certain minimum amounts of
proceeds of the Contractual Obligations by certain
dates;
(2) Levy an ad valorem tax that will be suffi-
cient to provide funds to pay the current interest on
the Contractual Obligations and to provide the neces-
sary sinking fund, all as described in this Ordinance;
and
(3) Keep proper books of record and account in
which full, true, and correct entries will be made of
all dealings, activities, and transactions relating to
the Funds created pursuant to this Ordinance, and all
books, documents, and vouchers relating thereto shall
at all reasonable times be made available for inspec-
tion upon request from any Owner.
C. Covenants Regarding Tax Exemption of Interest on
the Contractual Obligations. The Issuer covenants to take
any action to maintain, or refrain from any action which
would adversely affect, the treatment of the Contractual
Obligations as obligations described in section 103 of the
18 005264
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 specifically
covenants as follows:
(1) To take any action to assure that no more
than 10% of the proceeds of the Contractual Obligations
(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% of
the proceeds are so used, that 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% of
the debt service on the Contractual Obligations, 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 (a) hereof exceeds 5% of the proceeds of the
Contractual Obligations (less amounts deposited into a
reserve fund, if any), then the amount in excess of 5%
is used for a "private business use" which 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
which is greater than the lesser of $5,000,000 or 5% of
the proceeds of the Contractual Obligations (less
amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) is
directly or indirectly used to finance loans to per-
sons, 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 Contractual Obligations 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 Contractual Obligations 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 Contractual Obligations, 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 would produce a materially higher yield over the
term of the Contractual Obligations, other than invest-
ment property acquired with --
005265
19
(A) proceeds of the Contractual obligations
invested for a reasonable temporary period of
three years or less until such proceeds are needed
for the purpose for which the Contractual obliga-
tions are issued,
(B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt
service fund, within the meaning of section
1.103-13(b)(12) 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% of the proceeds of
the Contractual Obligations;
(7) To otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds
of the Contractual Obligations or amounts treated as
proceeds of the Contractual Obligations, as may be
necessary, so that the Contractual Obligations 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);
(8) To pay to the United States of America at
least once during each five year period (beginning on
the date of delivery of the Contractual Obligations) an
amount that is at least equal to 90% 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 Contractual Obligations
have been paid in full, 100% of the amount then re-
quired to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under
section 148(f) of the Code; and
(9) To maintain such records as will enable the
Issuer to fulfill its responsibilities under this
Section and section 148 of the Code and to retain such
records for at least six years following the final
payment of principal and interest on the Contractual
Obligations.
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 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 Contractual Obligations, the Issuer 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 exemption of interest on the Contractual Obliga-
tions under section 103 of the Code. In the event that
20 n05266
regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which
impose additional requirements which are applicable to the
Contractual Obligations, 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 Contractual Obligations under section 103 of the Code.
In order to facilitate compliance with the above
covenants (7), (8), and (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
Bondholders. The Rebate Fund is established for the addi-
tional purpose of compliance with section 148 of the Code.
Section 17. DESIGNATION AS QUALIFIED TAX-EXEMPT
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. The Issuer hereby designates the
Contractual Obligations as "qualified tax-exempt bonds" as
defined in Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the "Code"). In furtherance of such designation, the
Issuer represents, covenants, and warrants that (a) during
the calendar year 1988, the Issuer (including any subordin-
ate entities) has not designated nor will it designate any
tax-exempt obligation, which, when aggregated with the
Contractual Obligations, will result in more than
$10,000,000 of "qualified tax-exempt bonds" being issued;
(b) the Issuer reasonably anticipates that the amount of
tax-exempt obligations issued during the calendar year 1988
by the Issuer (or any subordinate entities) will not exceed
$10,000,000; and (c) the Issuer will take such action or
refrain from such action as necessary, and as more
particularly set forth in Section 16 of this Ordinance, in
order that the Contractual Obligations will not be con-
sidered "private activity bonds" within the meaning of
Section 142 of the Code.
Section 18. SALE OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND
AUTHORIZATION OF AN ESCROW AGREEMENT. The Contractual
Obligations are hereby sold and shall be delivered to First
City National Bank of Houston, for the par value thereof and
any accrued interest to date of delivery, and any such
accrued interest shall be deposited into the Interest and
Sinking Fund. The Contractual Obligations initially shall
be registered in the name of First City National Bank of
Houston. An Escrow Agreement substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A, between the Issuer and First
City National Bank of Houston, Houston, Texas, is hereby
approved, and shall be executed by the City Manager and City
Secretary of the Issuer, and approved as to form and
legality by the City Attorney, on behalf of the City Council
of the Issuer, and the proceeds from the sale of the
Contractual Obligations shall be deposited in the
21 n05267
Contractual Obligation Escrow Fund established pursuant to
the Escrow Agreement.

effect and be in full force and effect from and after the
date of its passage, and it is so ordained.
