(4) The City shall exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the calculations and payments required by paragraphs (2) and (3), and if an error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error within a reasonable amount of time thereafter (and in all events within one hundred eighty (180) days after discovery of the error), including payment to the United States of any additional Rebate Amount owed to it, interest thereon, and any penalty imposed under Section 1.148 -3(h) of the Regulations. (i) Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not, at any time prior to the earlier of the Stated Maturity or final payment of the Bonds, enter into any transaction that reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to Subsection (h) of this Section because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the transaction had been at arm's length and had the Yield of the Bonds not been relevant to either party.

For the purposes of determining whether the holders of the required principal amount of said Refunded Obligations have concurred in any such direction, Refunded Obligations owned by any obligor upon the Refunded Obligations, or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such obligor, shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Escrow Agent shall be protected in relying on any such direction only Refunded Obligations which the Escrow Agent actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded unless all Refunded Obligations are so owned. 52192122.1/11205039 9 The term "Responsible Officers" of the Escrow Agent, as used in this Agreement, shall mean and include the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, any Vice President and any Second Vice President, the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer and any Assistant Treasurer, and every other officer and assistant officer of the Escrow Agent customarily performing functions similar to those performed by the persons who at the time shall be officers, respectively, or to whom any corporate trust matter is referred, because of his knowledge of and familiarity with a particular subject; and the term "Responsible Officer" of the Escrow Agent, as used in this Agreement, shall mean and include any of said officers or persons. The Escrow Agent may consult with "independent legal counsel" (such term does not include an attorney who is an employee of the Escrow Agent) and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such advice of such independent legal counsel in good faith. Such advice or opinion of independent legal counsel, relied upon in good faith, shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with such advice. The Escrow Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or attorneys and may in all cases pay reasonable compensation to any agent or attorney retained or employed by it in connection therewith. The Escrow Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, written investment direction, statement, instrument, opinion, notice or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party. The Escrow Agent need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall require the Escrow Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, the City shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, from and against and reimburse the Escrow Agent for any and all claims, obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, actions, suits, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' and agents' fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature regardless of their merit, demanded, asserted or claimed against the Escrow Agent directly or indirectly relating to, or arising from, claims against the Escrow Agent by reason of its participation in the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent caused by the Escrow Agent's negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. Any bank, corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any bank, corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent shall be a party, or any bank, corporation or association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Escrow Agent shall be the successor of the Escrow Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except on the part of any of the parties hereto where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 52192122.1/11205039 10 SECTION 18: Limitation Re: Escrow Agent's Duties /Responsibilities /Liabilities to Third Parties. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable to any person in any manner whatever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness, effectiveness, or validity of this Agreement with respect to the City, or for the identity or authority of any person making or executing this Agreement for and on behalf of the City. The Escrow Agent is authorized by the City to rely upon the representations of the City with respect to this Agreement and the deposits made pursuant hereto and as to the City's right and power to execute and deliver this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner as a result of such reliance. The duty of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall only be to the City and the holders of the Refunded Obligations. Neither the City nor the Escrow Agent shall assign or attempt to assign or transfer any interest hereunder or any portion of any such interest; provided, however, that such assignment or transfer by the Escrow Agent shall be permitted if such assignment or transfer is due to a merger, consolidation, conversion, or business sale of the Escrow Agent as described in the last paragraph of Section 17 hereof. Any such assignment or attempted assignment shall be in direct conflict with this Agreement and be without effect. SECTION 19: Interpleader. In the event conflicting demands or notices are made upon the Escrow Agent growing out of or relating to this Agreement or the Escrow Agent in good faith is in doubt as to what action should be taken hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall have the right at its election to: (a) Withhold and stop all further proceedings in, and performance of, this Agreement with respect to the issue in question and of all instructions received hereunder in regard to such issue; and (b) File a suit in interpleader and obtain an order from a court of appropriate jurisdiction in the State of Texas requiring all persons involved to interplead and litigate in such court their several claims and rights among themselves. In the event the Escrow Agent becomes involved in litigation in connection with this Section, the City to the extent permitted by law agrees to indemnify and save the Escrow Agent harmless from all loss, cost, damages, expenses and attorney fees suffered or incurred by the Escrow Agent as a result thereof. The obligations of the Escrow Agent under this Agreement shall be performable at the corporate office of the Escrow Agent in the City of Dallas, Texas. To the extent permitted by law, and subject to any applicable statutes of limitation, the foregoing indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may advise with legal counsel in the event of any dispute or question regarding the construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, and in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Escrow Agent, no liability shall be incurred by the Escrow Agent for any action taken pursuant to this Section and the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the opinion and instructions of legal counsel that is knowledgeable and has expertise in the field of law addressed in any such legal opinion or with respect to the instructions given. 52192122.1/11205039 11 SECTION 20: Accounting - Annual Report.

SECTION 23: Warranty of Parties Re: Power to Execute and Deliver Escrow Agreement.

If the City does not make such appointment within sixty (60) days of the date that such resignation notice is sent to the City, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to petition of a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor.
