the principal amount thereof to be redeemed) shall become due and payable and interest
thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the redemption date therefor; provided moneys
sufficient for the payment of such Bond (or of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed) at
the then applicable redemption price are held for the purpose of such payment by the Paying
Agent/Registrar.

for Bonds of other authorized denominations upon the Security Register by the Holder, in
person or by his duly authorized agent, upon surrender of such Bond to the Paying
Agent/Registrar for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer or request for
exchange duly executed by the Holder or by his duly authorized agent, in form satisfactory to
the Paying Agent/Registrar.
Upon surrender of any Bond (other than the Initial Bond(s) referenced in Section 8
hereof) for transfer at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar,
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall register and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee
or transferees, one or more new Bonds of authorized denominations and having the same
Stated Maturity and of a like aggregate principal amount as the Bond or Bonds surrendered for
transfer
At the option of the Holder, Bonds (other than the Initial Bond(s) referenced in Section 8

surrendered for exchange, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall register and deliver new Bonds to
the Holder requesting the exchange

pay, and entitled to the same benefits under this Ordinance, as the Bonds surrendered in such
transfer or exchange.

expense or service charge to the Holder, except as otherwise herein provided, and except that
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall require payment by the Holder requesting such transfer or
exchange of any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such
transfer or exchange
Bonds cancelled by reason of an exchange or transfer pursuant to the provisions hereof
are hereby defined to be "Predecessor Bonds," evidencing all or a portion, as the case may be,
of the same obligation to pay evidenced by the new Bond or Bonds registered and delivered in
the exchange or transfer therefor. Additionally, the term "Predecessor Bonds" shall include any
mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Bond for which a replacement Bond has been issued,
registered, and delivered in lieu thereof pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 hereof and
such new replacement Bond shall be deemed to evidence the same obligation as the mutilated,
lost, destroyed, or stolen Bond.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue or transfer to
an assignee of a Holder any Bond called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45 days of
the date fixed for the redemption of such Bond; provided, however, such limitation on
transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Holder of the unredeemed balance
of a Bond called for redemption in part.

the Security Register for all purposes, including payment and notices, shall be Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, notwithstanding the ownership of each actual purchaser or owner of each
Bond (the "Beneficial Owners") being recorded in the records of DTC and DTC Participants.

Bonds or otherwise ceases to provide book-entry clearance and settlement of securities
transactions in general or the City determines that DTC is incapable of properly discharging its
duties as securities depository for the Bonds, the City covenants and agrees with the Holders of
the Bonds to cause Bonds to be printed in definitive form and provide for the Bond certificates to
be issued and delivered to DTC Participants and Beneficial Owners, as the case may be.

subsequent exchanges and transfers, all as authorized and provided in Texas Government
Code, Chapter 1201, as amended

registration substantially in the form provided in Section 9(d), manually executed by an

Regulations.

of the Regulations, and any replacement proceeds as defined in Section
1.148-1(c) of the Regulations, of the Bonds.
"Investment" has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-1(b) of the
Regulations.
28339654.3/11703096 15
"Nonpurpose Investment" means any investment property, as defined in
Section 148(b) of the Code, in which Gross Proceeds of the Bonds are invested
and which is not acquired to carry out the governmental purposes of the Bonds.

Regulations

of, or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any other amounts (or any property the acquisition,

Proceeds) in a manner which if made or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on any
Bond to become includable in the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of the
owner thereof for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
unless and until the City receives a written opinion of counsel nationally recognized in the field
of municipal bond law to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely

with each of the specific covenants in this Section.
(c) No Private Use or Private Payments. Except as permitted by Section 141 of the
Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall at all times prior to the last
Stated Maturity of Bonds
(1) exclusively own, operate and possess all property the acquisition,
construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or
indirectly with Gross Proceeds of the Bonds (including property financed with
Gross Proceeds of the Refunded Obligations), and not use or permit the use of
such Gross Proceeds (including all contractual arrangements with terms different
than those applicable to the general public) or any property acquired, constructed
or improved with such Gross Proceeds in any activity carried on by any person or
entity (including the United States or any agency, department and instrumentality
thereof) other than a state or local government, unless such use is solely as a
member of the general public; and
(2) not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other
payment by any person or entity who is treated as using Gross Proceeds of the

sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction which creates a debt for federal income
tax purposes; (2) capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity
under a take-or-pay, output or similar contract or arrangement; or (3) indirect benefits, or
burdens and benefits of ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or any property acquired,

the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not at any time prior to the
final Stated Maturity of the Bonds directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds in any Investment
(or use Gross Proceeds to replace money so invested), if as a result of such investment the
Yield from the Closing Date of all Investments acquired with Gross Proceeds (or with money
replaced thereby), whether then held or previously disposed of, exceeds the Yield of the Bonds
(f) Not Federally Guaranteed. Except to the extent permitted by Section 149(b) of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not take or omit to take any
action which would cause the Bonds to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of Section
149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(g) Information Report. The City shall timely file the information required by Section
149(e) of the Code with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038-G or such other form and
in such place as the Secretary may prescribe.
(h) Rebate of Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section
148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder:
(1) The City shall account for all Gross Proceeds (including all
receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) on its books of account
separately and apart from all other funds (and receipts, expenditures and
investments thereof) and shall retain all records of accounting for at least six
years after the day on which the last outstanding Bond is discharged. However,
to the extent permitted by law, the City may commingle Gross Proceeds of the
Bonds with other money of the City, provided that the City separately accounts
for each receipt and expenditure of Gross Proceeds and the obligations acquired
therewith
(2) Not less frequently than each Computation Date, the City shall
calculate the Rebate Amount in accordance with rules set forth in Section 148(f)
of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder. The City shall maintain
such calculations with its official transcript of proceedings relating to the issuance
of the Bonds until six years after the final Computation Date.
(3) As additional consideration for the purchase of the Bonds by the
Purchasers and the loan of the money represented thereby and in order to
induce such purchase by measures designed to insure the excludability of the
interest thereon from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income
tax purposes, the City shall pay to the United States out of its general fund, other
28339654.3/11703096 17
appropriate fund, or, if permitted by applicable Texas statute, regulation or
opinion of the Attorney General of the State of Texas, the Interest and Sinking
Fund, the amount that when added to the future value of previous rebate
payments made for the Bonds equals (i) in the case of a Final Computation Date
as defined in Section 1.148-3(e)(2) of the Regulations, one hundred percent
(100%) of the Rebate Amount on such date; and (ii) in the case of any other
Computation Date, ninety percent (90%) of the Rebate Amount on such date. In
all cases, the rebate payments shall be made at the times, in the installments, to
the place and in the manner as is or may be required by Section 148(f) of the
Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, and shall be accompanied by
Form 8038-T or such other forms and information as is or may be required by
Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder
(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
(j) Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem,
City Manager and Chief Financial Officer, either or any combination of them, to make elections
permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Code or the Regulations, as they deem
necessary or appropriate in connection with the Bonds, in the Certificate as to Tax Exemption or
similar or other appropriate certificate, form or document.
(k) Bonds Not Hedge Bonds. (1) At the time the original obligations being refunded
by the Bonds were issued, the City reasonably expected to spend at least 85% of the spendable
proceeds of such obligations within three years after such obligations were issued and (2) not
more than 50% of the proceeds of the original obligations being refunded by the Bonds were
invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a substantially guaranteed Yield for a period of 4
years or more.
(I) Qualified Advance Refunding of the Refunded Obligations. The Bonds are
issued to refund the Refunded Obligations, and the Bonds will be issued more than 90 days
before the redemption of the Refunded Obligations. The City represents as follows:
(1) The Bonds are the first advance refunding of the Refunded
Obligations, within the meaning of section 149(d)(3) of the Code.
(2) The Refunded Obligations are being called for redemption, and
will be redeemed not later than the earliest date on which such bonds may be
redeemed.
28339654 3/11703096 18
(3) The initial temporary period under section 148(c) of the Code will
end (i) with respect to the proceeds of the Bonds not later than 30 days after the
date of issue of such Bonds; and (ii) with respect to proceeds of the Refunded
Obligations on the Closing Date if not ended prior thereto.
(4) On and after the date of issue of the Bonds, no proceeds of the
Refunded Obligations will be invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a Yield
in excess of the Yield on such Refunded Obligations
(5) The Bonds are being issued for the purposes stated in the
preamble of this Ordinance There is a present value savings associated with
the refunding In the issuance of the Bonds the City has neither:
(i) overburdened the tax exempt bond market by issuing more bonds, issuing
bonds earlier or allowing bonds to remain outstanding longer than reasonably
necessary to accomplish the governmental purposes for which the Bonds were
issued, (ii) employed an "abusive arbitrage device" within the meaning of Section
1.148-10(a) of the Regulations, nor (iii) employed a "device" to obtain a material
financial advantage based on arbitrage, within the meaning of section 149(d)(4)
of the Code, apart from savings attributable to lower interest rates and reduced
debt service payments in early years
SECTION 15. Sale of Bonds — Official Statement Approval. Pursuant to a public sale for
the Bonds, the bid submitted by Fidelity Capital Markets, a Division of National Financial
Services LLC (herein collectively referred to as the "Purchaser") is declared to be the best bid

recognized municipal bond counsel to the effect that (a) such investment will not

and authorize such investments. Should the policy, rules and regulations of the United States
Department of Treasury not permit or authorize the purchase of such SLGS at such time or
times, such cash balance or balances shall remain uninvested and held in trust for the benefit of
the holders of the Refunded Obligations and used for the payment of the Refunded Obligations

reinvestment, in accordance with Exhibit A, the principal of, and interest on, the
Refunded Obligations which have not previously been paid, and
(2) an unqualified opinion of nationally recognized municipal bond
counsel to the effect that (a) such transfer will not cause interest on the Bonds or
the Refunded Obligations to be included in gross income for federal income tax
purposes, under the Code and related regulations as in effect on the date of such
transfer, or otherwise make the interest on the Bonds or the Refunded
Obligations subject to Federal income taxation, and (b) such transfer complies

documents relating to the issuance of the Refunded Obligations or the Bonds
