and shall be without exchange or collection charges to the Holders.
The selection and appointment of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.,
Dallas, Texas to serve as Paying Agent/Registrar for the Certificates is hereby approved and
confirmed. Books and records relating to the registration, payment, transfer and exchange of the
Certificates (the "Security Register") shall at all times be kept and maintained on behalf of the City
by the Paying Agent/Registrar, as provided herein and in accordance with the terms and
provisions of a "Paying Agent/Registrar Agreement", substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, and such reasonable rules and regulations as the Paying Agent/Registrar and the City
may prescribe. The Mayor and City Secretary are authorized to execute and deliver such Paying
Agent/Registrar Agreement in connection with the delivery of the Certificates. The City covenants
107804221.3/1001208342 2
to maintain and provide a Paying Agent/Registrar at all times until the Certificates are paid and
discharged, and any successor Paying Agent/Registrar shall be a bank, trust company, financial

Certificates, the City agrees to promptly cause a written notice thereof to be sent to each Holder

new Paying Agent/Registrar.
Principal of and premium, if any, on the Certificates shall be payable at the Stated
Maturities or the redemption thereof only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates to

the address of the Holder recorded in the Security Register or (ii) by such other method,
acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar, requested by, and at the risk and expense of, the
Holder. If the date for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Certificates shall be a
Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday, or a day when banking institutions in the city where the
Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized by
law or executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day
which is not such a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day when 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.
In the event of a nonpayment of interest on a scheduled payment date, and for thirty (30)

established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when funds for the payment of such interest
have been received from the City. Notice of the Special Record Date and of the scheduled
payment date of the past due interest (which shall be 15 days after the Special Record Date) shall
be sent at least five (5) business days prior to the Special Record Date by United States Mail, first
class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder appearing on the Security Register at the
close of business on the last business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice.

February 15, 2033 shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the City, in
whole or in part in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (and if within a
Stated Maturity by lot by the Paying Agent/Registrar), on February 15, 2032 or on any date
thereafter at the redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.

of redemption therefor. The decision of the City to exercise the right to redeem Certificates shall
be entered in the minutes of the governing body of the City.
107804221.3/1001208342 3
(c) Mandatory Redemption. The Certificates having a Stated Maturity of February 15,
2037 (the "Term Certificates") shall be subject to mandatory redemption in part prior to maturity
at the redemption price of par and accrued interest to the date of redemption on the respective

Principal
Redemption Date Amount ($)
February 15, 2036 215,000
February 15, 2037 (maturity) 220,000
At least forty-five (45) days prior to the mandatory redemption date for the Term
Certificates, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall select by lot the numbers of the Term Certificates
to be redeemed on the next following February 15 from moneys set aside for that purpose in the
Certificate Fund (as hereinafter defined). Any Term Certificate not selected for prior redemption
shall be paid on the date of its Stated Maturity.
The principal amount of the Term Certificates required to be redeemed on a mandatory
redemption date may be reduced, at the option of the City, by the principal amount of Term
Certificates which, at least fifty (50) days prior to the mandatory redemption date, (1) shall have
been acquired by the City at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such Term Certificates
plus accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar
for cancellation or (2) shall have been redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption provisions
set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section and not theretofore credited against a mandatory
redemption requirement.
(d) Selection of Certificates for Redemption. If less than all Outstanding Certificates
of the same Stated Maturity are to be redeemed on a redemption date, the Paying Agent/Registrar
shall treat such Certificates as representing the number of Certificates Outstanding which is
obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Certificates by $5,000 and shall select the
Certificates to be redeemed within such Stated Maturity by lot.
(e) Notice of Redemption. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to a redemption date for
the Certificates, a notice of redemption shall be sent by United States mail, first class postage
prepaid, in the name of the City and at the City's expense, to each Holder of a Certificate to be
redeemed in whole or in part at the address of the Holder appearing on the Security Register at
the close of business on the business day next preceding the date of mailing such notice, and
any notice of redemption so mailed shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given
irrespective of whether or not received by the Holder.
All notices of redemption shall (i) specify the date of redemption for the Certificates,
(ii) identify the Certificates to be redeemed and, in the case of a portion of the principal amount to
be redeemed, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, (iii) state the redemption price,
(iv) state that the Certificates, or the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, shall
become due and payable on the redemption date specified, and the interest thereon, or on the
portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, shall cease to accrue from and after the
redemption date, and (v) specify that payment of the redemption price for the Certificates, or the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed, shall be made at Designated Payment Transfer Office
of the Paying Agent/Registrar only upon presentation and surrender thereof by the Holder. If a
Certificate is subject by its terms to prior redemption and has been called for redemption and
107804221.3/1001208342 4
notice of redemption thereof has been duly given as hereinabove provided, such Certificate (or
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 Certificate (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.
(f) Conditional Notice of Redemption. With respect to any optional redemption of the
Certificates, unless moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
the Certificates to be redeemed shall have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to
the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice may, at the option of the City, state that said
redemption is conditional upon the receipt of such moneys by the Paying Agent/Registrar on or
prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or upon the satisfaction of any prerequisites set forth
in such notice of redemption; and, if sufficient moneys are not received, such notice shall be of
no force and effect, the City shall not redeem such Certificates and the Paying Agent/Registrar
shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that the
Certificates have not been redeemed.
SECTION 5: Registration - Transfer - Exchange of Certificates - Predecessor
Certificates. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall obtain, record, and maintain in the Security
Register the name and address of each and every owner of the Certificates issued under and
pursuant to the provisions of this Ordinance, or, if appropriate, the nominee thereof. Any
Certificate may be transferred or exchanged for Certificates of other authorized denominations by
the Holder, in person or by his duly authorized agent, upon surrender of such Certificate 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 Certificate (other than the Initial Certificate(s) authorized 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 Certificates of authorized denominations and having the same
Stated Maturity and of a like aggregate principal amount as the Certificate or Certificates
surrendered for transfer.
At the option of the Holder, Certificates (other than the Initial Certificate(s) authorized in
Section 8 hereof) may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations and
having the same Stated Maturity, bearing the same rate of interest and of like aggregate principal
amount as the Certificates surrendered for exchange, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar. Whenever
any Certificates are surrendered for exchange, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall register and
deliver new Certificates to the Holder requesting the exchange.

delivery thereof, the same shall be valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same obligation to
pay, and entitled to the same benefits under this Ordinance, as the Certificates surrendered in
such transfer or exchange.
107804221.3/1001208342 5
All transfers or exchanges of Certificates pursuant to this Section shall be made without
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.
Certificates cancelled by reason of an exchange or transfer pursuant to the provisions
hereof are hereby defined to be "Predecessor Certificates," evidencing all or a portion, as the
case may be, of the same obligation to pay evidenced by the new Certificate or Certificates
registered and delivered in the exchange or transfer therefor. Additionally, the term "Predecessor
Certificates" shall include any mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Certificate for which a
replacement Certificate has been issued, registered and delivered in lieu thereof pursuant to the
provisions of Section 20 hereof and such new replacement Certificate shall be deemed to
evidence the same obligation as the mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Certificate.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue or transfer to an
assignee of a Holder any Certificate called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45 days of
the date fixed for redemption of such Certificate; provided, however, such limitation on
transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Holder of the unredeemed balance
of a Certificate called for redemption in part.
SECTION 6: Book -Entry -Only Transfers and Transactions. Notwithstanding the
provisions contained in Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof relating to the payment, and transfer/exchange
of the Certificates, the City hereby approves and authorizes the use of "Book -Entry -Only"

(DTC), a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, in
accordance with the operational arrangements referenced in the Blanket Issuer Letter of
Representations, by and between the City and DTC (the "Depository Agreement').
Pursuant to the Depository Agreement and the rules of DTC, the Certificates shall be
deposited with DTC who shall hold said Certificates for its participants (the "DTC Participants").
While the Certificates are held by DTC under the Depository Agreement, the Holder of the
Certificates on 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 Certificate (the "Beneficial Owners") being recorded in the records of DTC and
DTC Participants.
In the event DTC determines to discontinue serving as securities depository for the
Certificates or otherwise ceases to provide book -entry clearance and settlement of securities
transactions in general or the City decides to discontinue use of the system of book -entry transfers
through DTC, the City covenants and agrees with the Holders of the Certificates to cause
Certificates to be printed in definitive form and provide for the Certificates to be issued and
delivered to DTC Participants and Beneficial Owners, as the case may be. Thereafter, the
Certificates in definitive form shall be assigned, transferred and exchanged on the Security
Register maintained by the Paying Agent/Registrar and payment of such Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof.
SECTION 7: Execution - Registration. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of
the City by the Mayor under its seal reproduced or impressed thereon and countersigned by the
City Secretary. The signature of said officers and the seal of the City on the Certificates may be
manual or facsimile. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
107804221.3/1001208342 6
are or were the proper officers of the City on the Certificate Date shall be deemed to be duly
executed on behalf of the City, notwithstanding that one or more of the individuals executing the
same shall cease to be such officer at the time of delivery of the Certificates to the initial
purchaser(s) and with respect to Certificates delivered in subsequent exchanges and transfers,
all as authorized and provided in Texas Government Code, Chapter 1201, as amended.
No Certificate shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this Ordinance, or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate either a certificate of
registration substantially in the form provided in Section 9C, manually executed by the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, or his duly authorized agent, or a certificate
of registration substantially in the form provided in Section 9D, manually executed by an
authorized officer, employee or representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and either such
certificate duly signed upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Certificate has been duly certified, registered and delivered.
SECTION 8: Initial Certificate(s). The Certificates herein authorized shall be initially
issued either (i) as a single fully registered certificate in the total principal amount stated in Section
1 hereof with principal installments to become due and payable as provided in Section 2 hereof
and numbered T-1, or (ii) as multiple fully registered certificates, being one certificate for each
year of maturity in the applicable principal amount and denomination and to be numbered
consecutively from T-1 and upward (hereinafter called the "Initial Certificates)") and, in either
case, the Initial Certificate(s) shall be registered in the name of the initial purchaser(s) or the
designee thereof. The Initial Certificate(s) shall be the Certificates submitted to the Office of the
Attorney General of the State of Texas for approval, certified and registered by the Office of the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas and delivered to the initial purchaser(s). Any
time after the delivery of the Initial Certificate(s), the Paying Agent/Registrar, pursuant to written
instructions from the initial purchaser(s), or the designee thereof, shall cancel the Initial
Certificate(s) delivered hereunder and exchange therefor definitive Certificates of authorized
denominations, Stated Maturities, principal amounts and bearing applicable interest rates for
transfer and delivery to the Holders named at the addresses identified therefor; all pursuant to
and in accordance with such written instructions from the initial purchaser(s), or the designee
thereof, and such other information and documentation as the Paying Agent/Registrar may
reasonably require.
SECTION 9: Forms. A. Forms Generally. The Certificates, the Registration Certificate
of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, the Registration Certificate of Paying
Agent/Registrar, and the form of Assignment to be printed on each of the Certificates, shall be
substantially in the forms set forth in this Section with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions, and other variations as are permitted or required by this Ordinance and may have
such letters, numbers, or other marks of identification (including identifying numbers and letters
of the Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures of the American Bankers
Association) and such legends and endorsements (including insurance legends in the event the
Certificates, or any maturities thereof, are purchased with insurance and any reproduction of an
opinion of counsel) thereon as may, consistently herewith, be established by the City or
determined by the officers executing such Certificates as evidenced by their execution. Any
portion of the text of any Certificate may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate
reference thereto on the face of the certificate.
The definitive Certificates and the Initial Certificate(s) shall be printed, lithographed, or
engraved, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise reproduced in any other similar manner, all as
determined by the officers executing such Certificates as evidenced by their execution.

maturity at the price of par and accrued interest thereon to the mandatory redemption date on the
respective dates and in principal amounts as follows:
Principal
Redemption Date Amount ($)
February 15, 2036 215,000
February 15, 2037 (maturity) 220,000
The particular Term Certificates of a stated maturity to be redeemed on each redemption
date shall be chosen by lot by the Paying Agent/Registrar; provided, however, that the principal
amount of Term Certificates for a stated maturity required to be redeemed on a mandatory
redemption date may be reduced, at the option of the City, by the principal amount of Term
Certificates of like stated maturity which, at least fifty (50) days prior to the mandatory redemption
date, (1) shall have been acquired by the City at a price not exceeding the principal amount of
such Term Certificates plus accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to the
Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation or (2) shall have been redeemed pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions appearing below and not theretofore credited against a mandatory
redemption requirement.
The Certificates having Stated Maturities on and after February 15, 2033 may be

amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (and if within a Stated Maturity by lot by the

owners of each Certificate to be redeemed at the address shown on the Security Register and

redemption duly given, then upon the redemption date such Certificate (or the portion of its
107804221.3/1001208342 9
principal sum to be redeemed) shall become due and payable, and, if moneys for the payment of
the redemption price and the interest accrued on the principal amount to be redeemed to the date

shall cease to accrue and be payable from and after the redemption date on the principal amount
redeemed.
In the event a portion of the principal amount of a Certificate is to be redeemed and the
registered owner is someone other than Cede & Co., payment of the redemption price of such
principal amount shall be made to the registered owner only upon presentation and surrender of
such Certificate to the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and a
new Certificate or Certificates of like maturity and interest rate in any authorized denominations
provided by the Ordinance for the then unredeemed balance of the principal sum thereof will be

or in part, the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to transfer such Certificate
to an assignee of the registered owner within forty-five (45) days of the redemption date therefor;
provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the
registered owner of the unredeemed balance of a Certificate redeemed in part.

"SPECIAL SERIES 2022 TAX AND REVENUE CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION FUND" (the
"Certificate Fund"), and all moneys deposited to the credit of such Fund shall be shall be kept and
maintained in a special banking account at the City's depository bank. The Mayor, Mayor Pro
Tem, City Manager, Chief Financial Officer and City Secretary of the City, individually or jointly,
are hereby authorized and directed to make withdrawals from said Fund sufficient to pay the
principal of and interest on the Certificates as the same become due and payable, and, shall
cause to be transferred to the Paying Agent/Registrar from moneys on deposit in the Certificate
Fund an amount sufficient to pay the amount of principal and/or interest falling due on the
Certificates, such transfer of funds to the Paying Agent/Registrar to be made in such manner as
will cause immediately available funds to be deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar on or
before the last business day next preceding each interest and principal payment date for the
Certificates.
Pending the transfer of funds to the Paying Agent/Registrar, money in the Certificate Fund
may, at the option of the City, be invested in obligations identified in, and in accordance with the
provisions of the "Public Funds Investment Act" (Texas Government Code, Chapter 2256, as
amended) relating to the investment of "bond proceeds"; provided that all such investments shall
be made in such a manner that the money required to be expended from said Fund will be
available at the proper time or times. All interest and income derived from deposits and
investments in said Certificate Fund shall be credited to, and any losses debited to, the said
Certificate Fund. All such investments shall be sold promptly when necessary to prevent any
default in connection with the Certificates.
SECTION 12: Tax Levy. To provide for the payment of the "Debt Service Requirements"
on the Certificates being (i) the interest on said Certificates and (ii) a sinking fund for their
107804221.3/1001208342 16
redemption at maturity or a sinking fund of 2% (whichever amount shall be the greater), there
shall be and there is hereby levied for the current year and each succeeding year thereafter while
said Certificates or any interest thereon shall remain Outstanding, a sufficient tax on each one
hundred dollars' valuation of taxable property in said City, within the limitations prescribed by law,
adequate to pay such Debt Service Requirements, full allowance being made for delinquencies
and costs of collection; said tax shall be assessed and collected each year and applied to the
payment of the Debt Service Requirements, and the same shall not be diverted to any other
purpose. The taxes so levied and collected shall be paid into the Certificate Fund. The City
Council hereby declares its purpose and intent to provide and levy a tax legally and fully sufficient
to pay the said Debt Service Requirements, it having been determined that the existing and
available taxing authority of the City for such purpose is adequate to permit a legally sufficient tax
in consideration of all other outstanding indebtedness.
SECTION 13: Limited Pledge of Revenues. The City hereby covenants and agrees that,
subject to the prior lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System to the payment and
security of Prior Lien Obligations, if any, the Net Revenues of the System in an aggregate amount
of $1,000 are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the
Certificates, and the limited pledge of $1,000 of the Net Revenues of the System herein made for
the payment of the Certificates shall constitute a lien on the Net Revenues of the System until
such time as the City shall pay all of such $1,000, after which time the pledge shall cease, all in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Furthermore, such lien on and pledge of the
Net Revenues securing the payment of the Certificates shall be valid and binding and fully
perfected from and after the date of adoption of this Ordinance without physical delivery or transfer
or transfer of control of the Net Revenues, the filing of this Ordinance or any other act; all as
provided in Chapter 1208 of the Texas Government Code, as amended.
Chapter 1208, Texas Government Code, as amended, applies to the issuance of the
Certificates and the pledge of the Net Revenues of the System granted by the City under this
Section 13, and such pledge is therefore valid, effective and perfected. If Texas law is amended
at any time while the Certificates are Outstanding such that the pledge of the Net Revenues of
the System granted by the City under this Section 13 is to be subject to the filing requirements of
Chapter 9, Texas Business and Commerce Code, as amended, then in order to preserve to the
registered owners of the Certificates the perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the City
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 and Commerce Code, as
amended, and enable a filing to perfect the security interest in said pledge to occur.
SECTION 14: System Fund. The City hereby covenants and agrees that all Gross
Revenues (excluding earnings from the investment of money held in any special funds or
accounts created for the payment and security of Prior Lien Obligations, if any) shall be deposited
as collected into a fund maintained at an official depository of the City and known on the books of
the City as the "City of Southlake Waterworks and Sanitary Sewer System Fund" (hereinafter
called the "System Fund"). All moneys deposited to the credit of the System Fund shall be
allocated, appropriated and budgeted to the extent required for the following purposes and in the
order of priority shown, to wit:
First: To the payment of Operating and Maintenance Expenses of the System as
defined herein or required by statute to be a first charge on and claim against the
Gross Revenues of the System.
107804221.3/1001208342 17
Second: To the payment of all amounts required to be deposited in the special
Funds created and established for the payment, security and benefit of Prior Lien
Obligations in accordance with the terms and provisions of any ordinances
authorizing the issuance of Prior Lien Obligations.
Third: Equally and ratably, to the payment of the limited amounts pledged to the
payment of the Certificates.
Any Net Revenues remaining in the System Fund after satisfying the foregoing payments,
or making adequate and sufficient provision for the payment thereof, may be appropriated and
used for any other City purpose now or hereafter permitted by law.
SECTION 15: Deposits to Certificate Fund. Subject to the provisions of Section 13
hereof, the City hereby covenants and agrees to cause to be deposited in the Certificate Fund
from the pledged Net Revenues of the System in the System Fund, the amount of Net Revenues
of the System pledged to the payment of the Certificates.
The City covenants and agrees that the amount of pledged Net Revenues of the System
($1,000), together with other lawfully available revenues appropriated by the City for payment of
the debt service requirements on the Certificates and ad valorem taxes levied, collected, and
deposited in the Certificate Fund for and on behalf of the Certificates, will be an amount equal to
one hundred percent (100%) of the amount required to fully pay the interest and principal due and
payable on the Certificates. In addition, any surplus proceeds from the sale of the Certificates
not expended for authorized purposes shall be deposited in the Certificate Fund, and such
amounts so deposited shall reduce the sums otherwise required to be deposited in said Fund
from ad valorem taxes and the Net Revenues of the System.
SECTION 16: Security of Funds. All moneys on deposit in the Funds for which this
Ordinance makes provision (except any portion thereof as may be at any time properly invested)
shall be secured in the manner and to the fullest extent required by the laws of Texas for the
security of public funds, and moneys on deposit in such Funds shall be used only for the purposes
permitted by this Ordinance.
SECTION 17: Special Covenants. The City hereby further covenants as follows:
(a) It has the lawful power to pledge the Net Revenues of the System
to the payment of the Certificates in the manner herein contemplated and has
lawfully exercised such power under the Constitution and laws of the State of
Texas, including said power existing under Texas Government Code, Chapter
1502, as amended, and Texas Local Government Code, Subchapter C of Chapter
271, as amended.
(b) Other than for the payment of the outstanding limited pledge
relating to the Certificates, the Net Revenues of the System have not in any
manner been pledged to the payment of any debt or obligation of the City or of the
System.
SECTION 18: Issuance of Prior Lien Obligations and Additional Parity Obligations. The
City hereby expressly reserves the right to hereafter issue Prior Lien Obligations, without limitation
as to principal amount but subject to any terms, conditions or restrictions applicable thereto under
107804221.3/1001208342 18
law or otherwise, and such Prior Lien Obligations hereafter issued may be payable, in whole or in
part, from the Net Revenues (without impairment of the obligation of contract with the Holders of
the Certificates) upon such terms and secured in such manner as the City Council may determine.
Additionally, the City reserves the right without any limitations or restrictions to issue additional
obligations payable (in whole or in part) from and secured by lien on and pledge of the Net
Revenues of the System of equal rank and dignity with the lien on and pledge of such Net
Revenues securing the payment of the Certificates.
SECTION 19: Application of Prior Lien Obligations Covenants and Agreements. It is the
intention of this governing body and accordingly hereby recognized and stipulated that the
provisions, agreements and covenants contained herein bearing upon the management and
operations of the System, and the administering and application of revenues derived from the
operation thereof, shall to the extent possible be harmonized with like provisions, agreements and
covenants contained in any ordinances authorizing the issuance of any Prior Lien Obligations, if
issued, and to the extent of any irreconcilable conflict between the provisions contained herein
and in the ordinances authorizing the issuance of any Prior Lien Obligations, the provisions,
agreements and covenants contained therein shall prevail to the extent of such conflict and be
applicable to this Ordinance but in all respects subject to the priority of rights and benefits, if any,
conferred thereby to the holders of Prior Lien Obligations. Notwithstanding the above, any change
or modification affecting the application of revenues derived from the operation of the System
shall not impair the obligation of contract with respect to the pledge of revenues herein made for
the payment and security of the Certificates.
SECTION 20: Mutilated - Destroyed - Lost and Stolen Certificates. In case any
Certificate shall be mutilated, or destroyed, lost or stolen, the Paying Agent/Registrar may execute
and deliver a replacement Certificate of like form and tenor, and in the same denomination and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for such
mutilated Certificate, or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate,
only upon the approval of the City and after (i) the filing by the Holder thereof with the Paying
Agent/Registrar of evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar of the destruction, loss or
theft of such Certificate, and of the authenticity of the ownership thereof and (ii) the furnishing to
the Paying Agent/Registrar of indemnification in an amount satisfactory to hold the City and the
Paying Agent/Registrar harmless. All expenses and charges associated with such indemnity and
with the preparation, execution and delivery of a replacement Certificate shall be borne by the
Holder of the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.
Every replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall be a valid and binding
obligation, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and ratably with all
other Outstanding Certificates; notwithstanding the enforceability of payment by anyone of the
destroyed, lost, or stolen Certificates.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Certificates.
SECTION 21: Satisfaction of Obligation of City. If the City shall pay or cause to be paid,
or there shall otherwise be paid to the Holders, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Certificates, at the times and in the manner stipulated in this Ordinance, then the pledge of
taxes levied under this Ordinance and the Net Revenues of the System (to the extent such pledge
of Net Revenues shall not have been discharged or terminated by prior payment of principal of or
107804221.3/1001208342 19
interest on the Certificates) and all covenants, agreements, and other obligations of the City to
the Holders shall thereupon cease, terminate, and be discharged and satisfied.
Certificates or any principal amount(s) thereof shall be deemed to have been paid within
the meaning and with the effect expressed above in this Section when (i) money sufficient to pay
in full such Certificates or the principal amount(s) thereof at maturity, together with all interest due
thereon, shall have been irrevocably deposited with and held in trust by the Paying
Agent/Registrar, or an authorized escrow agent, or (ii) Government Securities shall have been
irrevocably deposited in trust with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or an authorized escrow agent,
which Government Securities have been certified by an independent accounting or consulting
firm to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the
availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money, together with any moneys deposited
therewith, if any, to pay when due the principal of and interest on such Certificates, or the principal
amount(s) thereof, on and prior to the Stated Maturity thereof. The City covenants that no deposit
of moneys or Government Securities will be made under this Section and no use made of any
such deposit which would cause the Certificates to be treated as "arbitrage bonds" within the
meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or regulations
adopted pursuant thereto.
Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or an authorized escrow agent,
and all income from Government Securities held in trust by the Paying Agent/Registrar, or an
authorized escrow agent, pursuant to this Section which is not required for the payment of the
Certificates, or any principal amount(s) thereof, or interest thereon with respect to which such
moneys have been so deposited shall be remitted to the City or deposited as directed by the City.
Furthermore, any money held by the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the principal of
and interest on the Certificates and remaining unclaimed for a period of three (3) years after the
Stated Maturity of the Certificates such moneys were deposited and are held in trust to pay shall
upon the request of the City be remitted to the City against a written receipt therefor.
Notwithstanding the above and foregoing, any remittance of funds from the Paying
Agent/Registrar to the City shall be subject to any applicable unclaimed property laws of the State
of Texas.
SECTION 22: Ordinance a Contract -Amendments. This Ordinance shall constitute a
contract with the Holders from time to time, be binding on the City, and shall not be amended or
repealed by the City while any Certificates remain Outstanding except as permitted in this Section
and in Section 37 hereof. The City may, without the consent of or notice to any Holders, from
time to time and at any time, amend this Ordinance in any manner not detrimental to the interests
of the Holders, including the curing of any ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal defect or omission
herein. In addition, the City may, with the consent of Holders holding a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Certificates then Outstanding, amend, add to, or rescind any of the
provisions of this Ordinance; provided that, without the consent of all Holders of Outstanding
Certificates, no such amendment, addition, or rescission shall (1) extend the time or times of
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates, reduce the principal
amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Certificates, (2) give any preference to any
Certificate over any other Certificate, or (3) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Certificates
required to be held by Holders for consent to any such amendment, addition, or rescission.

carry out the governmental purposes of the Certificates.
"Rebate Amount" has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-1(b) of the Regulations.
"Regulations" means any proposed, temporary, or final Income Tax Regulations issued
pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code, and 103 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954, which are applicable to the Certificates. Any reference to any specific Regulation
shall also mean, as appropriate, any proposed, temporary or final Income Tax Regulation
designed to supplement, amend or replace the specific Regulation referenced.
"Yield" of (1) any Investment has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-5 of the
Regulations and (2) the Certificates has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-4 of the
Regulations.
(b) Not to Cause Interest to Become Taxable. The City shall not use, permit the use
of, or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any other amounts (or any property the acquisition,
construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds)
in a manner which if made or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on any Certificate 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 affect the exemption
from federal income tax of the interest on any Certificate, the City shall comply 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 Certificates:
(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 Certificates, 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
107804221.3/1001208342 21
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
Certificates or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which
is to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with such Gross Proceeds,
other than taxes of general application within the City or interest earned on
investments acquired with such Gross Proceeds pending application for their
intended purposes.
(d) No Private Loan. Except to the extent permitted by Section 141 of the Code and
the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not use Gross Proceeds of the Certificates
to make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For
purposes of the foregoing covenant, such Gross Proceeds are considered to be "loaned" to a
person or entity if: (1) property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds is
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, constructed or
improved with such Gross Proceeds are otherwise transferred in a transaction which is the
economic equivalent of a loan.
(e) Not to Invest at Higher Yield. 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 final
Stated Maturity of the Certificates 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 Certificates.
(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 Certificates 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 Certificate is discharged. However, to the extent permitted by
law, the City may commingle Gross Proceeds of the Certificates 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.
107804221.3/1001208342 22
(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 Certificates until six years after the final Computation Date.
(3) As additional consideration for the purchase of the Certificates 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 from the construction fund,
other appropriate fund, or if as permitted by applicable Texas statute, regulation or
opinion of the Attorney General of the State of Texas, the Certificate Fund, the
amount that when added to the future value of previous rebate payments made for
the Certificates 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 Certificates, 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 Certificates not been
relevant to either party.
(j) Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City
Manager, Chief Financial Officer and City Secretary, individually or jointly, 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 Certificates, in the Certificate as to Tax Exemption
or similar or other appropriate certificate, form or document.
SECTION 24: Sale of Certificates - Official Statement Approval. Pursuant to a public sale
for the Certificates, the bid submitted by SWBC Investment Services, LLC (herein referred to as
the "Purchaser") is declared to be the best bid received producing the lowest true interest cost
rate to the City, and the sale of the Certificates to said Purchasers at the price of par plus a cash
premium of $699,774.80 is hereby determined to be in the best interests of the City and is
107804221.3/1001208342 23
approved and confirmed. Delivery of the Certificates to the Purchasers shall occur as soon as
possible upon payment being made therefor in accordance with the terms of sale. The Initial
Certificate shall be registered in the name as provided in the winning bid.
Furthermore, the use of the Preliminary Official Statement by the Purchasers in connection
with the public offering and sale of the Certificates is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved in
all respects. The final Official Statement, which reflects the terms of sale (together with such
changes approved by the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Manager, Chief Financial Officer or City
Secretary, individually or collectively), shall be and is hereby in all respects approved, and the
Purchasers are hereby authorized to use and distribute said final Official Statement, dated June
7, 2022, in the reoffering, sale and delivery of the Certificates to the public. The Mayor and City
Secretary are further authorized and directed to manually execute and deliver for and on behalf
of the City copies of said Official Statement in final form as may be required by the Purchasers,
and such final Official Statement in the form and content manually executed by said officials shall
be deemed to be approved by the City Council and shall constitute the Official Statement
authorized for distribution and use by the Purchasers.
SECTION 25: Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of sale of the Certificates, excluding the
amount to be used to pay the costs of issuing the Certificates, shall be deposited in a fund
maintained at a depository bank of the City. Pending expenditure for authorized projects and
purposes, such proceeds of sale may be invested in authorized investments and any investment
earnings realized shall be expended for such authorized projects and purposes or deposited in
the Certificate Fund as shall be determined by the City Council. Any surplus proceeds of sale of
the Certificates, including investment earnings, remaining after completion of all authorized
projects or purposes shall be deposited to the credit of the Certificate Fund.
SECTION 26: Control and Custody of Certificates. The Mayor of the City shall be and is
hereby authorized to take and have charge of all necessary orders and records pending the sale
of the Certificates, the investigation by the Attorney General of the State of Texas, including the
printing and supply of definitive Certificates, and shall take and have charge and control of the
Initial Certificate(s) pending the approval thereof by the Attorney General, the registration thereof
by the Comptroller of Public Accounts and the delivery thereof to the Purchasers.
Furthermore, the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Manager, Chief Financial Officer and City
Secretary, any one or more of said officials, are hereby authorized and directed to furnish and
execute such documents and certifications relating to the City and the issuance of the Certificates,
including a certification as to facts, estimates, circumstances and reasonable expectations
pertaining to the use and expenditure and investment of the proceeds of the Certificates as may
be necessary for the approval of the Attorney General and their registration by the Comptroller of
Public Accounts. In addition, such officials, together with the City's financial advisor, bond counsel
and the Paying Agent/Registrar, are authorized and directed to make the necessary
arrangements for the delivery of the Initial Certificate(s) to the Purchasers and the initial exchange
thereof for definitive Certificates.
SECTION 27: Notices to Holders - Waiver. Wherever this Ordinance provides for notice
to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and sent by United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address
of each Holder appearing in the Security Register at the close of business on the business day
next preceding the mailing of such notice.
In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice
to any particular Holders, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, shall affect the sufficiency of
107804221.3/1001208342 24
such notice with respect to all other Certificates. Where this Ordinance provides for notice in any
manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Holder entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event with respect to which such notice is given, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Paying
Agent/Registrar, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such waiver.
SECTION 28: Cancellation. All Certificates surrendered for payment, transfer, exchange,
or replacement, if surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar, shall be promptly cancelled by it
and, if surrendered to the City, shall be delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar and, if not already
cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by the Paying Agent/Registrar. The City may at any time
deliver to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation any Certificates previously certified or
registered and delivered which the City may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all
Certificates so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Paying Agent/Registrar. All cancelled
Certificates held by the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be returned to the City.
SECTION 29: Bond Counsel's Opinion. The Purchasers' obligation to accept delivery of
the Certificates is subject to being furnished a final opinion of Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP,
Dallas, Texas, approving the Certificates as to their validity, said opinion to be dated and delivered
as of the date of delivery and payment for the Certificates. An executed counterpart of said
opinion shall accompany the global certificates deposited with The Depository Trust Company or
a reproduction thereof shall be printed on the definitive Certificates in the event the book entry
only system shall be discontinued. The City Council confirms the continuation of the engagement
of Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP as the City's bond counsel.
SECTION 30: CUSIP Numbers. CUSIP numbers may be printed or typed on the
definitive Certificates. It is expressly provided, however, that the presence or absence of CUSIP
numbers on the definitive Certificates shall be of no significance or effect as regards the legality
thereof and neither the City nor attorneys approving the Certificates as to legality are to be held
responsible for CUSIP numbers incorrectly printed or typed on the definitive Certificates.
SECTION 31: Benefits of Ordinance. Nothing in this Ordinance, expressed or implied, is
intended or shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the City, the Paying
Agent/Registrar and the Holders, any right, remedy, or claim, legal or equitable, under or by
reason of this Ordinance or any provision hereof, and this Ordinance and all its provisions is
intended to be and shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the City, the Paying
Agent/Registrar and the Holders.

SECTION 36: Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to
any circumstance shall be held to be invalid, the remainder of this Ordinance and the application
thereof to other circumstances shall nevertheless be valid, and the City Council hereby declares
that this Ordinance would have been enacted without such invalid provision.

any Certificate calls and defeasance that cause the City to be no longer such an "obligated
person."
The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the Holders and beneficial owners
of the Certificates, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit or any
legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder to any other person. The City undertakes to
provide only the financial information, operating data, financial statements, and notices which it
has expressly agreed to provide pursuant to this Section and does not hereby undertake to
provide any other information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of the
City's financial results, condition, or prospects or hereby undertake to update any information
provided in accordance with this Section or otherwise, except as expressly provided herein. The
City does not make any representation or warranty concerning such information or its usefulness
to a decision to invest in or sell Certificates at any future date.

BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY CERTIFICATE OR ANY OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR
TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE
CITY, WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT
SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, BUT EVERY RIGHT AND REMEDY OF ANY SUCH PERSON,
IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR OR ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH BREACH SHALL BE
LIMITED TO AN ACTION FOR MANDAMUS OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.
No default by the City in observing or performing its obligations under this Section shall
constitute a breach of or default under this Ordinance for purposes of any other provision of this
Ordinance.
Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise limit the
duties of the City under federal and state securities laws.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section may be
amended by the City from time to time to adapt to changed circumstances resulting from a change
in legal requirements, a change in law, or a change in the identity, nature, status, or type of
operations of the City, but only if (1) the provisions of this Section, as so amended, would have
permitted underwriters to purchase or sell Certificates in the primary offering of the Certificates in
compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule to
the date of such amendment, as well as such changed circumstances, and (2) either (a) the
Holders 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 Certificates
consent to such amendment or (b) a Person that is unaffiliated with the City (such as nationally
recognized bond counsel) determines that such amendment will not materially impair the interests
of the Holders and beneficial owners of the Certificates. The provisions of this Section may also
be amended from time to time or repealed by the City if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable
provisions of the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction determines that such provisions are invalid,
but only if and to the extent that reservation of the City's right to do so would not prevent
underwriters of the initial public offering of the Certificates from lawfully purchasing or selling
Certificates in such offering. If the City so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include
with any amended financial information or operating data next provided in accordance with
107804221.3/1001208342 28
subsection (b) of this Section an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment
and of the impact of any change in the type of financial information or operating data so provided.

instruments, certificates or other documents, whether mentioned herein or not, as may be
necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Ordinance and the
issuance, sale and delivery of the Certificates. In addition, prior to the delivery of the Certificates,
the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Manager, Chief Financial Officer, City Secretary or Bond Counsel

Ordinance or to any of the documents authorized and approved by this Ordinance: (i) in order to
cure any ambiguity, formal defect, or omission in the Ordinance or such other document, or (ii) as
requested by the Attorney General of the State of Texas or his representative to obtain the
approval of the Certificates by the Attorney General. In the event that any officer of the City whose
signature shall appear on any document shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such
document, such signature nevertheless shall be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as
if such officer had remained in office until such delivery.
SECTION 39: Incorporation of Findings and Determinations. The findings and
determinations of the City Council contained in the preamble of this Ordinance are hereby
incorporated by reference and made a part of this Ordinance for all purposes as if the same were
related in full in this Section.
