by the Issuer, the Issuer shall determine the maturity or maturities and the amounts thereof to be
redeemed and shall direct the Paying Agent/Registrar to call by lot Bonds, or portions thereof, within
such maturity or maturities and in such principal amounts, for redemption; provided, that during any
period in which ownership of the Bonds is determined only by a book entry at a securities depository
for the Bonds, if fewer than all of the Bonds of the same maturity and bearing the same interest rate
are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds of such maturity and bearing such interest rate shall be
selected in accordance with the arrangements between the Issuer and the securities depository.

therein or in the sending or mailing thereof, shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the
proceedings for the redemption of any Bond, and the publication of notice as described in (ii) above
shall be the only notice actually required in connection with or as a prerequisite to the redemption of
any Bonds. By the date fixed for any such redemption, due provision shall be made by the Issuer with

portions thereof which are to be so redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for

automatically shall be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, and shall not bear interest after
the date fixed for their redemption, and shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right
of the registered owner to receive the redemption price plus accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption from the Paying Agent/Registrar out ofthe funds provided for such payment. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall record in the Registration Books all such redemptions of principal ofthe Bonds
or any portion thereof. If a portion of any Bond shall be redeemed, a substitute Bond or Bonds

Denomination, at the written 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 the surrender
thereof for cancellation, at the expense of the Issuer, all as provided in this Ordinance. In addition,
notice of such redemption shall be provided in the manner described in Section 3(e) hereof, but the

effectiveness of the proceedings for the redemption of the Bonds.

redemption required by this Ordinance have been met and moneys sufficient to pay the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to be redeemed shall have been received by the Paying
Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice shall state that said
redemption may, at the option ofthe Issuer, be conditional upon the satisfaction of such prerequisites
and receipt of such moneys by the Paying Agent/Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for such
redemption, or upon any prerequisite set forth in such notice of redemption. If a conditional notice
of redemption is given and such prerequisites to the redemption and sufficient moneys are not
received, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the Issuer shall not redeem such Bonds and the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given,
to the effect that the Bonds have not been redeemed.

redemption date. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall also send a notice of redemption to the registered
owner of any Bonds who has not sent the Bonds in for redemption sixty (60) days after the

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, pursuant

agreement between the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar, but the registered owner of any Bond

respect thereto. In addition, the Issuer hereby covenants with the registered owners ofthe Bonds that
it will pay the reasonable standard or customary fees and charges of the Paying Agent/Registrar for
its services with respect to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, when due.

specified herein shall be initially issued in the form of a separate single fully registered Bond for each

authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge

hereby ordered to be levied against all taxable property in the Issuer for each year while any of the
Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, and the ad valorem tax shall be assessed and collected each such
year and deposited to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund. Ad valorem taxes necessary to pay
the interest on and principal of the Bonds, as such interest comes due and such principal matures, are
hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law. There shall be appropriated
from the General Fund of the Issuer for deposit into the Interest and Sinking Fund moneys as may
be necessary to pay the principal and interest payments on the Bonds scheduled to occur on or before
February 15, 2011.
(b) Chapter 1208, Texas Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Bonds and the
pledge of ad valorem taxes granted by the Issuer under this Section, and such pledge is therefore
valid, effective, and perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the Bonds are outstanding
and unpaid such that the pledge of ad valorem taxes granted by the Issuer is to be subject to the filing
requirements of Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the
registered owners of the Bonds the perfection ofthe 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 to
perfect the security interest in said pledge to occur.
-11-
(c) The Issuer shall do any and all things necessary to accomplish the transfer of monies to
the Interest and Sinking Fund of this issue in ample time to pay such items of principal and interest
due on the Bonds.
Section 9. DEFEASANCE OF BONDS.
(a) Any Bond and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired and no longer
outstanding (a "Defeased Bond") within the meaning of this Ordinance, except to the extent provided
in subsection (d) of this Section, when payment of the principal of such Bond, plus interest thereon
to the due date (whether such due date be by reason of maturity or otherwise) either (i) shall have
been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided
for on or before such due date by irrevocably depositing with or making available to the Paying
Agent/Registrar in accordance with an escrow agreement or other instrument (the "Future Escrow
Agreement") for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to make
such payment or (2) Defeasance Securities that mature as to principal and interest in such amounts
and at such times as will insure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide
for such payment, and when proper arrangements have been made by the Issuer with the Paying
Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and
payable. At such time as a Bond shall be deemed to be a Defeased Bond hereunder, as aforesaid,
such Bond and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by, payable from, or entitled to the
benefits of, the ad valorem taxes herein levied and pledged as provided in this Ordinance, and such
principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or Defeasance Securities.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, it is hereby provided that any
determination not to redeem Defeased Bonds that is made in conjunction with the payment
arrangements specified in subsection (a)(i) 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 Bonds for redemption; (2) gives notice of the reservation of that right
to the owners ofthe Defeased Bonds immediately following the making ofthe payment arrangements;
and (3) directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorizes.
(b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar may at the written direction
of the Issuer be invested in Defeasance Securities, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore
set forth, and all income from such Defeasance Securities received by the Paying Agent/Registrar that
is not required for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon, with respect to which such money
has been so deposited, shall be turned over to the Issuer, or deposited as directed in writing by the
Issuer. Any Future Escrow Agreement pursuant to which the money and/or Defeasance Securities
are held for the payment of Defeased Bonds may contain provisions permitting the investment or
reinvestment of such moneys in Defeasance Securities or the substitution of other Defeasance
Securities upon the satisfaction ofthe requirements specified in subsection (a)(i) or (ii) ofthis Section.
All income from such Defeasance Securities received by the Paying Agent/Registrar which is not
required for the payment of the Defeased Bonds, with respect to which such money has been so
deposited, shall be remitted to the Issuer or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer.
(c) The term "Defeasance Securities" means (i) direct, noncallable obligations of the United
States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of
-12-
America, (ii) noncallable obligations of an agency or instrumentality ofthe United States of America,
including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality
and that, on the date of the purchase thereof are rated as to investment quality by a nationally
recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent, and (iii) noncallable obligations
of a state or an agency or a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have
been refunded and that, on the date the governing body of the Issuer adopts or approves the
proceedings authorizing the financial arrangements are rated as to investment quality by a nationally
recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent.
(d) Until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar
shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Bonds the same as if they had
not been defeased, and the Issuer shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such
services as required by this Ordinance.
(e) In the event that the Issuer elects to defease less than all of the principal amount of Bonds
of a maturity, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall select, or cause to be selected, such amount of Bonds
by such random method as it deems fair and appropriate.
Section 10. FUNDS SECURED. That money in all Funds created by this Ordinance, to the
extent not invested, shall be secured in the manner prescribed by law for securing funds of the Issuer.
Section 11. AMENDMENT OF ORDINANCE. The Issuer hereby reserves the right to
amend this Ordinance subject to the following terms and conditions, to-wit:
(a) The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of any holder, except as otherwise

ambiguity, defect or omission in this Ordinance that does not materially adversely affect the interests
of the holders, (ii) grant additional rights or security for the benefit of the holders, (iii) add events of
default as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance and that shall not materially
adversely affect the interests of the holders, (iv) qualify this Ordinance under the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939, as amended, or corresponding provisions of federal laws from time to time in effect, or (v)
make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Ordinance as shall not
be inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance and that shall not in the opinion of nationally
recognized bond counsel materially adversely affect the interests of the holders.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (a) above, the holders of Bonds aggregating a majority
in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Bonds that are the subject of a proposed
amendment shall have the right from time to time to approve any amendment hereto that may be
deemed necessary or desirable by the Issuer; provided, however, that without the consent of 100%
ofthe holders in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Bonds, nothing herein contained
shall permit or be construed to permit amendment of the terms and conditions of this Ordinance or
in any of the Bonds so as to:
-13-
(1) Make any change in the maturity of any of the outstanding Bonds;
(2) Reduce the rate of interest borne by any of the outstanding Bonds;
(3) Reduce the amount of the principal of, or redemption premium, if any, payable
on any outstanding Bonds;
(4) Modify the terms of payment of principal or of interest or redemption premium
on outstanding Bonds or any of them or impose any condition with respect to such payment;
or
(5) Change the minimum percentage of the principal amount of the Bonds necessary
for consent to such amendment.
(c) If at any time the Issuer shall desire to amend this Ordinance under this Section, the Issuer
shall send by United States mail, first-class, postage prepaid, to each registered owner of the affected
Bonds a copy of the proposed amendment. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the
proposed amendment and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at the office of the Issuer for
inspection by all holders of such Bonds.
(d) Whenever at any time within one year from the date of mailing of such notice the Issuer
shall receive an instrument or instruments executed by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of all of the Bonds then outstanding that are required for the amendment, which
instrument or instruments shall consent to and approve such amendment, the Issuer may adopt the
amendment in substantially the same form.
(e) Upon the adoption of any amendatory Ordinance pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, this Ordinance shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance with such
amendatory Ordinance, and the respective rights, duties, and obligations of the Issuer and all holders
of such affected Bonds shall thereafter be determined, exercised, and enforced, subject in all respects
to such amendment.
(f) Any consent given by the holder of a Bond pursuant to the provisions ofthis Section shall
be irrevocable for a period of six months from the date of such consent, and shall be conclusive and
binding upon all future holders of the same Bond during such period. Such consent may be revoked
at any time after six months from the date of such consent by the holder who gave such consent, or
by a successor in title, by filing notice with the Issuer, but such revocation shall not be effective if the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the affected Bonds then outstanding, have,
prior to the attempted revocation, consented to and approved the amendment.
(g) For the purposes of establishing ownership of the Bonds, the Issuer shall rely solely upon
the registration of the ownership of such Bonds on the registration books kept by the Paying
Agent/Registrar.
-14-
Section 12. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED BONDS.
(a) That in the event any outstanding Bond is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed, and delivered, a new Bond of the same
principal amount, maturity, and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed
Bond, in replacement for such Bond in the manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for replacement of damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Bonds
shall be made to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Bond,
the applicant for a replacement bond shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent/Registrar
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss
or damage with respect thereto. Also, in every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Bond, the
applicant shall famish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction
of the loss, theft, or destruction of such Bond, as the case may be. In every case of damage or
mutilation of a Bond, the applicant shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the
Bond so damaged or mutilated.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the event any such Bond
shall have matured, and no default has occurred which is then continuing in the payment of the
principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bond, the Issuer may authorize the
payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Bond)
instead of issuing a replacement Bond, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided
in this Section.
(d) Prior to the issuance ofany replacement bond, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge
the owner of such Bond with all legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every
replacement bond issued pursuant to the provisions ofthis Section by virtue of the fact that any Bond
is lost, stolen, or destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer whether the lost,
stolen or destroyed Bond shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled
to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly
issued under this Ordinance.
(e) In accordance with Chapter 1206, Texas Government Code, particularly Subchapter
B thereof, this Section of this Ordinance shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such
replacement bond without necessity offurther action by the governing body of the Issuer or any other
body or person, and the duty of the replacement of such bonds is hereby authorized and imposed
upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver such
bonds in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 5 of this Ordinance for
Bonds issued in exchange for other Bonds.
Section 13. TAX COVENANTS. (a) The Issuer covenants to take any action necessary
to assure, or refrain from any action that would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as bonds
described in section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the interest
-15-
on which is not includable in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of federal income
taxation. In furtherance thereof, the Issuer covenants as follows:
(1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Bonds (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business
use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds
or the projects financed or refinanced therewith (the "Projects") are so used, such amounts,
whether received by the Issuer, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the
terms of this Ordinance or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or
provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service on the Bonds, in
contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code;
(2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use"
described in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the
projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the
amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a "private business use" that is "related" and not
"disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental
use;
(3) to take any action to assure that no amount that is greater than the lesser of
$5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds (less amounts deposited into a reserve
fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state or local
governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code;
(4) to refrain from taking any action that would otherwise result in the Bonds being
treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code;
(5) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Bonds being "federally
guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
(6) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, directly or
indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds that were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire
investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) that produces a materially
higher yield over the term of the Bonds, other than investment property acquired with -
(A) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3
years or less or, in the case of an advance refunding bond, for a period of 30 days or
less until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the bonds are issued,
and in the case of a current refunding bond, for a period of 90 days or less,
(B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of
section 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
-16-
(C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement
fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Bonds;
(7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated as
proceeds of the Bonds, as may be necessary, so that the Bonds do not otherwise contravene
the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent
applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings); and
(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 Bonds) an amount that is at least equal to 90 percent
of the "Excess Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(f) of the Code and to pay to the
United States of America, not later than 60 days after the Bonds have been paid in full, 100
percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section
148(f) of the Code.
(b) Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (a)(8), a "Rebate
Fund" is hereby established by the Issuer for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and
such Fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without limitation the
Bondholders. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with section
148 of the Code.
(c) Use of Proceeds. For purposes of the foregoing covenants (a)(1) and (a)(2), the Issuer
understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury
Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the
Refunded Obligations expended prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds. It is the understanding
of the Issuer that the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and
any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U. S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In
the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated that modify or expand provisions of
the Code, as applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant
contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally recognized
bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the
Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter
promulgated that impose additional requirements applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer agrees to comply
with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond
counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under
section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs
the Mayor, the Pricing Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, acting severally but not
jointly, to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to make such
elections, on behalf of the Issuer, that may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the
purpose for the issuance of the Bonds.
-17-
(d) Disposition ofProiect. 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
the Issuer obtains an opinion ofnationally-recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition
will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. For purposes of the foregoing, the
portion of the property comprising personal property and disposed in the ordinary course shall not
be treated as a transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes
hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains a legal opinion that
such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax proposes from
gross income of the interest.
Section 14. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING. (a) Annual Reports. (i)
The Issuer shall provide annually to the MSRB, in an electronic format as prescribed by the MSRB,

provide any other information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of the
Issuer's financial results, condition, or prospects or hereby undertake to update any information

as well as such changed circumstances and (2) either (a) the registered owners of a majority in
aggregate principal amount (or any greater amount required by any other provision of this Ordinance
that authorizes such an amendment) of the outstanding Bonds consent to such amendment or (b) a
person that is unaffiliated with the Issuer (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determined

of such remedies.

equal benefit of all registered owners of Bonds then outstanding.

or employee of the Issuer, shall be charged personally by the registered owners with any

order to close in the city where the Designated Trust Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located,
then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not such a Saturday, Sunday,
legal holiday, or day on which banking institutions are authorized to close; and payment on such date
shall have the same force and effect as if made on the original date payment was due.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period in which ownership of the bonds of this Series is
determined only by a book entry at a securities depository therefor, any payment to the securities
depository, or its nominee or registered assigns, shall be made in accordance with existing

any integral multiple thereof, at the option of the City, on 15, 20. or on any date

maturities and the principal amounts thereof to be redeemed and shall direct the Paying
Agent/Registrar to call by lot Bonds, or portions thereof, within such maturity or maturities and in
such principal amounts, for redemption; provided, that during any period in which ownership of the
Bonds is determined only by a book entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, if fewer than all
of the Bonds of the same maturity and bearing the same interest rate are to be redeemed, the
particular Bonds of such maturity and bearing such interest rate shall be selected in accordance with
the arrangements between the City and the securities depository.
[THE BONDS scheduled to mature on February 15 in the years (the "Term
Bonds") are subject to scheduled mandatory redemption by the Paying Agent/Registrar by lot, or by
any other customary method that results in a random selection, at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, out of moneys available for such
purpose in the interest and sinking fund for the Bonds, on the dates and in the respective principal
amounts, set forth in the following schedule:
Year
* Final Maturity
Princinal Amount
The principal amount of Term Bonds 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 City, by the principal amount of any Term Bonds of the same
maturity which, at least 50 days prior to a mandatory redemption date (1) shall have been acquired
by the City at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such Term Bonds 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 City at a price
not exceeding the principal amount of such Term Bonds 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 redemption requirement.]*
AT LEAST 30 days prior to the date fixed for any such redemption, (i) a written notice of
such redemption shall be given by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the registered owner of each Bond
or a portion thereof being called for redemption by depositing such notice in the United States mail,
first-class, postage prepaid, addressed to each such registered owner at his address shown on the
Registration Books of the Paying Agent/Registrar and (ii) a notice of such redemption shall be
published one time in a financial journal or publication of general circulation in the United States of
America or the State of Texas carrying as a regular feature notices of municipal bonds called for
redemption; provided, however, that the failure to send, mail or receive such notice described in (i)
above, or any defect therein or in the sending or mailing thereof, shall not affect the validity or
effectiveness of the proceedings for the redemption of any Bond, and the publication of notice as
described in (ii) above shall be the only notice actually required in connection with or as a prerequisite
to the redemption of any Bonds. By the date fixed for any such redemption due provision shall be
made by the City with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the required redemption price
for this Bond or the portion hereof which is to be so redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the
date fixed for redemption. If such notice of redemption is given, and if due provision for such
payment is made, all as provided above, this Bond, or the portion hereof which is to be so redeemed,
thereby automatically shall be redeemed prior to its scheduled maturity, and shall not bear interest
after the date fixed for its redemption, and shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the
right of the registered owner to receive the redemption price plus accrued interest to the date fixed
for redemption from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. The
Paying Agent/Registrar shall record in the Registration Books all such redemptions of principal of
this Bond or any portion hereof. If a portion of this Bond shall be redeemed a substitute Bond or
Bonds having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate, in any Authorized Denomi-
nation, 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 hereof for
cancellation, at the expense of the City, all as provided in the Ordinance.
AS PROVIDED IN THE ORDINANCE, this Bond, or any unredeemed portion hereof, may,
at the request of the registered owner or the assignee or assignees hereof, be assigned, transferred,
and exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of fully registered bonds, without interest
coupons, payable to the appropriate registered owner, assignee, or assignees, as the case may be,
having the same maturity date, and bearing interest at the same rate, in any Authorized Denomination
as requested in writing by the appropriate registered owner, assignee, or assignees, as the case may
be, upon surrender of this Bond to the Paying Agent/Registrar at its Designated Trust Office for
cancellation, all in accordance with the form and procedures set forth in the Ordinance. Among other
requirements for such assignment and transfer, this Bond must be presented and surrendered to the
Paying Agent/Registrar, together with proper instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee
of signatures satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, evidencing assignment of this Bond or any
portion or portions hereof in any Authorized Denomination to the assignee or assignees in whose
name or names this Bond or any such portion or portions hereof is or are to be transferred and
registered. The form of Assignment printed or endorsed on this Bond may be executed by the
registered owner to evidence the assignment hereof, but such method is not exclusive, and other
instruments of assignment satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar may be used to evidence the
assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof from time to time by the registered owner.
The City shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's reasonable standard or customary fees and charges
for transferring, converting and exchanging any Bond or portion thereof, provided, however, that any
taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto shall be paid by the one
requesting such transfer, conversion and exchange. In any circumstance, neither the City nor the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required (1) to make any transfer or exchange during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the first mailing of a notice of
redemption of bonds and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (2) to transfer
or exchange any Bonds so selected for redemption when such redemption is scheduled to occur
within 30 calendar days; provided, however, such limitation shall not be applicable to an exchange
by the registered owner of the uncalled principal balance of a Bond.
WHENEVER the beneficial ownership of this Bond is determined by a book entry at a
securities depository for the Bonds, the foregoing requirements of holding, delivering or transferring
this Bond shall be modified to require the appropriate person or entity to meet the requirements of
the securities depository as to registering or transferring the book entry to produce the same effect.
IN THE EVENT any Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds is changed by the City, resigns,
or otherwise ceases to act as such, the City has covenanted in the Ordinance that it promptly will
appoint a competent and legally qualified substitute therefor, and promptly will cause written notice
thereof to be mailed to the registered owners of the Bonds.
BY BECOMING the registered owner of this Bond, the registered owner thereby
acknowledges all of the terms and provisions of the Ordinance, agrees to be bound by such terms and
provisions, acknowledges that the Ordinance is duly recorded and available for inspection in the
official minutes and records of the City, and agrees that the terms and provisions of this Bond and
the Ordinance constitute a contract between each registered owner hereof and the City.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that the issuance of this Bond, and the series
of which it is a part, is duly authorized by law; that all acts, conditions and things required to be done
precedent to and in the issuance of this series of bonds, and of this Bond, have been properly done
and performed and have happened in regular and due time, form and manner as required by law; that
sufficient and proper provision for the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes has been made, which,
when collected, shall be appropriated exclusively to the payment of this Bond and the series of which
it is a part; and that the total indebtedness of the City of College Station, Texas, including the entire
series of bonds of which this is one, does not exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation.

facsimile signature of the Mayor of the City and countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature
of the City Secretary of the City, has caused the official seal of the City to be duly impressed, or
placed in facsimile, on this Bond.
