Series 2013
Action
Requested: Approval of Ordinance No. 1064
Background
Information: On February 5, 2013, the Council approved Resolution No.
13-006. This authorized the publication of a notice in the
newspaper of the city's intent to issue certificates of
obligation. The certificates are issued and approved by
adoption of an ordinance. Approval of Ordinance No. 1064
will set in motion the legal requirements to obtain the
proceeds. After approval, the legal documents must be
reviewed by the Texas Attorney General's Office. The City
would receive funding in mid -May. The proceeds from the
bonds will be used for street, water and sewer capital
improvement projects and DPS North facility construction.
Financial
Considerations: The debt will be repaid through the City's ad valorem tax rate,
DPS facility will be repaid through Crime Control District sales tax
collections, and water and sewer projects will be repaid through
the City's utility fund. The allocation of the bond proceeds are as
follows:
General Fund (ad valorem funded) $ 4,500,000
Crime Control District $ 8,000,000
Water and Sewer $ 2,550,000
$15,050,000
The above allocation is in accordance with the approved CIP
budget.

Alternatives: In the absence of issuing the certificates, capital projects
would be funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. Budgets and the

United States of America, which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public

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 to maintain and provide a Paying Agent/Registrar at all times until the Certificates are

the duties and services of Paying Agent/Registrar. Upon any change in the Paying
Agent/Registrar for the Certificates, the City agrees to promptly cause a written notice thereof to

Holders whose names appear in the Security Register at the close of business on the Record Date

the address of the Holder recorded in the Security Register or (ii) by such other method,

thereafter at the redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.

redeem Certificates, the principal amount of each Stated Maturity to be redeemed, and the date
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.
(c) 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.
(d) 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,

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
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.
57038608.3/11303288 4
(e) 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 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

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.
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 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.
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
57038608.3/11303288 5
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.

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"

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
57038608.3/11303288 6
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 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 I 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-I and upward (hereinafter called the "Initial Certificate(s)") 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

be established by the City or determined by the officers executing such Certificates as evidenced
57038608.3/11303288 7
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.

whole or in part, the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to transfer such

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

moneys by the Paying Agent/Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or upon

a sinking fund for the payment, redemption and retirement of the Certificates, there shall be and

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 redemption at maturity or a sinking fund of 2% (whichever amount shall be the

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
57038608.3/11303288 17
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.
Accrued interest received from the purchasers of the Certificates shall be deposited to the
Certificate Fund. 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.
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, 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 and
shall be on a parity in all respects with the lien on the Net Revenues securing the payment of the
Previously Issued Certificates 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 & 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 & 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) 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:
57038608.3/11303288 18
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.
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.
Third: Equally and ratably, to the payment of the limited amounts pledged to the
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.
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.
57038608.3/11303288 19
(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.
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 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
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
57038608.3/11303288 20
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 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 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

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

omission herein. In addition, the City may, with the consent of Holders holding a majority in

SECTION 23: Covenants to Maintain Tax -Exempt Status. (a) Definitions. When used in
this Section, the following terms have the following meanings:
"Closing Date" means the date on which the Certificates are first authenticated and
delivered to the initial purchasers against payment therefor.
"Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended by all legislation, if any,

"Computation Date" has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-1(b) of the Regulations.
"Gross Proceeds" means any proceeds as defined in Section 1.148-1(b) of the
Regulations, and any replacement proceeds as defined in Section 1.148-1(c) of the Regulations,
of the Certificates.
"Investment" has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-1(b) of the Regulations.
"Nonpurpose Investment" means any investment property, as defined in section 148(b)
of the Code, in which Gross Proceeds of the Certificates are invested and which is not acquired
to 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

57038608.3/11303288 22
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
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

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
57038608.3/11303288 23
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
57038608.3/11303288 24
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.
0) Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem,
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
necessary or appropriate in connection with the Certificates, in the Certificate as to Tan
Exemption or similar or other appropriate certificate, form or document.

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 of the Purchasers.
Furthermore, the use of the Preliminary Official Statement by the Purchasers in

with such changes approved by the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Manager, Director of Finance
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
April 16, 2013 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

accrued interest and the amount to be used to pay the costs of issuing the Certificates, shall be

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.

hereby authorized to take and have charge of all necessary orders and records pending the sale of

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

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
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

City may at any time deliver to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation any Certificates
57038608.3/11303288 26
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

book entry only system shall be discontinued.

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

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 subsection (b) of this Section an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons

delivery.
