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

until the Certificates are paid and discharged, and any successor Paying Agent/Registrar shall
be a bank, trust company, financial institution or other entity qualified and authorized to serve in
such capacity and perform 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 be sent to each Holder by United States Mail, first class postage
prepaid, which notice shall also give the address of the 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 Paying Agent/Registrar at its designated offices initially in East Syracuse, New York; or, with
respect to a successor Paying Agent/Registrar, at the designated offices of such successor (the
“Designated Payment/Transfer Office”). Interest on the Certificates shall be paid to the Holders
whose names appear in the Security Register at the close of business on the Record Date (the
last business day of the month next preceding each interest payment date) and shall be paid by
the Paying Agent/Registrar (i) by check sent United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, 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

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.

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, 2026 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, 2025 or on any date
thereafter at the redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.

35209567.3/11502462
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,
(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 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.
(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, 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
4
35209567.3/11502462
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 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-

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
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 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
6
35209567.3/11502462
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.

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

registered owners of each Certificate to be redeemed at the address shown on the Security
Register and subject to the terms and provisions relating thereto contained in the Ordinance. If
a Certificate (or any portion of its principal sum) shall have been duly called for redemption and
notice of such redemption duly given, then upon the redemption date such Certificate (or the
portion of its principal sum to be redeemed) shall become due and payable, and, if moneys for

whole 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.
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.

the Net Revenues (as defined in the Ordinance) of the City’s combined Waterworks and Sewer
System (the “System”), such pledge being limited to an amount of $1,000 and being junior and

Obligations” (identified and defined in the Ordinance) hereafter issued by the City. In the
Ordinance, the City reserves and retains the right to issue Prior Lien Obligations without
limitation as to principal amount but subject to any applicable terms, conditions or restrictions
under law or otherwise.
Reference is hereby made to the Ordinance, a copy of which is on file in the Designated

a sinking fund for the payment, redemption and retirement of the Certificates, there shall be and
is hereby created a special account or fund on the books and records of the City known as the
“SPECIAL SERIES 2015 TAX AND REVENUE CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION 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

15
35209567.3/11502462
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
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.
16
35209567.3/11502462
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
17
35209567.3/11502462
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 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
18
35209567.3/11502462
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 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.
SECTION 23: Covenants to Maintain Tax-Exempt Status. (a) Definitions. When used in
this Section, the following terms have the following meanings:
19
35209567.3/11502462
“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

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

City shall comply with each of the specific covenants in this Section.

Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall at all times prior to the last

indirectly with Gross Proceeds of the Certificates, and not use or permit the use

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
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
21
35209567.3/11502462
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.
(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 ___________________________________
22
35209567.3/11502462
(herein collectively 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 $_______ is hereby determined to be in
the best interests of the City and is 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 May 5, 2015, 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
23
35209567.3/11502462
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 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.
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 32: Inconsistent Provisions. All ordinances, orders or resolutions, or parts
thereof, which are in conflict or inconsistent with any provision of this Ordinance are hereby
repealed to the extent of such conflict, and the provisions of this Ordinance shall be and remain
controlling as to the matters contained herein.

accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the United States of America.
24

number shall be considered to include the singular, and words of the masculine, feminine or
neuter gender shall be considered to include the other genders.
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.

possession but subject to the supervision and orders of a court or governmental authority, or the
entry of an order confirming a plan of reorganization, arrangement, or liquidation by a court or
governmental authority having supervision or jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or
business of the City.
The City shall notify the MSRB, in a timely manner, of any failure by the City to provide
financial information or operating data in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section by the
time required by such Section.
(d) Filings with the MSRB. All financial information, operating data, financial
statements, notices, and other documents provided to the MSRB in accordance with this
Section shall be provided in an electronic format prescribed by the MSRB and shall be
accompanied by identifying information as prescribed by the MSRB.
(e) Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments. The City shall be obligated to
observe and perform the covenants specified in this Section for so long as, but only for so long
as, the City remains an “obligated person” with respect to the Certificates within the meaning of
the Rule, except that the City in any event will give the notice required by subsection (c) of this
Section of 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
26
35209567.3/11502462
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.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE CITY BE LIABLE TO THE HOLDER OR
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 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.
SECTION 38: Further Procedures. Any one or more of the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City
Manager, Chief Financial Officer, and City Secretary are hereby expressly authorized,
empowered and directed from time to time and at any time to do and perform all such acts and
things and to execute, acknowledge and deliver in the name and on behalf of the City all
agreements, instruments, certificates or other documents, whether mentioned herein or not, as
27
35209567.3/11502462
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 to the City are each hereby authorized and directed to approve any changes or
corrections to this 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.
