redemption price for the Certificates, or the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, shall be
made at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar only upon

redemption date therefor.

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.
All Certificates issued in any transfer or exchange of Certificates shall be delivered to the
Holders at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar or sent by
United States Mail, first class, postage prepaid to the Holders, and, upon the registration and
delivery thereof, the same shall be the valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same
/ 4
70039092.110711989
obligation to pay, and entitled to the same benefits under this Ordinance, as the Certificates
surrendered in such transfer or exchange.
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 the 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.
. Notwithstanding the
SECTION 6: Book-Entry Only Transfers and Transactions
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” securities clearance, settlement and transfer system provided by The
Depository Trust Company (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 Representation, 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 determines that DTC is incapable of properly discharging its
duties as securities depository for the Certificates, the City covenants and agrees with the
Holders of the Certificates to cause Certificates to be printed in definitive form and provide for
the Certificate 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.

City Secretary. The signature of said officers on the Certificates may be manual or facsimile.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who 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 V.T.C.A., 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.

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

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.

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

Certificates of the same Stated Maturity, of authorized denominations, bearing the same rate of
interest, and of the same aggregate principal amount will be issued by the Paying
Agent/Registrar to the designated transferee or transferees.

registered owner whose name appears on the Security Register (i) on the Record Date as the
owner entitled to payment of interest hereon, (ii) on the date of surrender of this Certificate as

available at the proper time or times. All interest and income derived from deposits and

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

SECTION 13: Limited Pledge of Revenues

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 in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof and shall be on a parity in all respects with the
lien on the Net Revenues securing the payment of the Previously Issued Certificates.
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,

pledge of the Net Revenues of the System granted by the City under this Section 13, and such
/ 16
70039092.110711989
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, Business
& Commerce Code, 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, Business & Commerce Code 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) 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 in herein or required by statute to be a first charge on and claim
against the Gross Revenues of the System.
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 the ordinances
authorizing the issuance of Prior Lien Obligations.
: Equally and ratably, to the payment of the limited amounts pledged to the
Third
payment of the Previously Issued Certificates and 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.
. All moneys on deposit in the Funds for which this
SECTION 16: Security of Funds
Ordinance makes provision (except any portion thereof as may be at any time properly
/ 17
70039092.110711989
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.
. The City hereby further covenants as follows:
SECTION 17: Special Covenants
(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 V.T.C.A, Government Code, Sections
1502.56 and 1502.58 and V.T.C.A., Local Government Code, Sections 271.041,
et seq.
(b) Other than for the payment of the outstanding Prior Lien
Obligations, Previously Issued Certificates and 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.
. The
SECTION 18: Issuance of Prior Lien Obligations and Additional Parity Obligations
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 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 Previously Issued Certificates
and 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 the ordinances authorizing the issuance of the Prior Lien
Obligations, and to the extent of any irreconcilable conflict between the provisions contained
herein and in the ordinances authorizing the issuance of the 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 the 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
/ 18
70039092.110711989

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 Certificate mutilated, or destroyed,

principal of or 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 or the redemption date

agent, and all income from Government Securities held in trust by the Paying Agent/Registrar,

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.
. Except as permitted by Section 141 of the
(c) No Private Use or Private Payments
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 entity (including the United States or any agency, department and
such use
instrumentality thereof) other than a state or local government, unless
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
/ 21
70039092.110711989
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.
(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.
/ 22
70039092.110711989
(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.
. The City hereby directs and authorizes the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem,
(j) Elections
City Secretary, City Manager and Director of Finance, individually or jointly, to make elections
permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Code or the Regulations, as they deem

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 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

any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

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

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

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

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 subsection (b) 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.
