A special Interest and Sinking Fund (the "Interest and Sinking Fund") is hereby created solely for the benefit of the Certificates, and the Interest and Sinking Fund shall be established and maintained by the Issuer at an official depository bank of the Issuer. The Interest and Sinking Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of the Issuer, and shall be used only for paying the interest on and principal of the Certificates. All ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of the Certificates shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year while any of the Certificates or interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid, the governing body of the Issuer shall compute and ascertain a rate and amount of ad valorem tax which will be sufficient to raise and produce the money required to pay the interest on the Certificates as such interest becomes due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of its Certificates as such principal matures (but never less than 2% of the original principal amount of the Certificates as a sinking fund each year); and said tax shall be based on the latest approved tax rolls of the Issuer, with 20 full allowance being made for tax delinquencies and the cost of tax collection. Said rate and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby levied, and is hereby ordered to be levied, against all taxable property in the Issuer for each year while any of the Certificates or interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid; and said tax shall be assessed and collected each such year and deposited to the credit of the aforesaid Interest and Sinking Fund. Said ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of the Certificates, as such interest comes due and such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law. (b) APPROPRIATION. There is hereby appropriated from surplus funds of the Issuer now on hand and lawfully available for such purpose, and shall be deposited into the Interest and Sinking Fund for the Certificates, the amount of money required to pay the interest coming due on the Certificates on January 11 1994. The money thus appropriated and deposited shall be used for no purpose other than to pay said interest on the Certificates. The appropriate officials of the Issuer are hereby authorized and directed to do any and all things neces- sary or convenient to accomplish said appropriation and depos- it. Section 9. SURPLUS REVENUES. The Certificates addi- tionally shall be payable from and secured by surplus revenues, to the extent hereinafter permitted, derived by the Issuer from the ownership and operation of the Issuer's Utility System (consisting of its combined waterworks system, sanitary sewer system, and electric light and power system) remaining after (a) payment of all amounts constituting operation and main- tenance expenses of said Utility System, and (b) payment of all debt service, reserve, and other requirements and amounts required to be paid under all ordinances heretofore or here- after authorizing (i) all bonds and (ii) all other obligations not on a parity with the Certificates, which are payable from and secured by any Utility System revenues, and (c) payment of all amounts payable from any Utility System revenues pursuant to contracts heretofore or hereafter entered into by the Issuer in accordance with law (the "Surplus Revenues"). If, for any reason, the Issuer fails to deposit ad valorem taxes levied pursuant to Section 8 hereof to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund in an amount sufficient to pay, when due, the principal of and interest on the Certificates, then Surplus Revenues, to the extent hereinafter permitted, shall be depos- ited to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund and used to pay such principal and/or interest. A maximum aggregate of $10,000 of Surplus Revenues may be used to pay principal and/or interest on the Certificates and any obligations on a parity therewith. The Certificates and any obligations on a parity 21 therewith are not, and shall not be deemed to be, payable from or secured by any Surplus Revenues in excess of an aggregate of $10,000. Until and unless an aggregate of $10,000 of Surplus Revenues actually is used to pay any such principal and/or interest, additional obligations, payable from and secured by all or any remaining unused part of said aggregate of $10,000 of Surplus Revenues, may be issued by the Issuer on a parity with the Certificates and any other then outstanding parity obligations, with the Certificates and all such additional parity obligations to be payable from and secured equally and ratably by all or any remaining unused part of said aggregate. The Issuer reserves, and shall have, the right to issue bonds, and other obligations not on a parity with the Certificates, and to enter into contracts, in accordance with applicable laws, to be payable from and secured by any Utility System revenues other than the aggregate of $10,000 of Surplus Reve- nues as described above. The Certificates are on a parity with those issues of City of Denton Certificates of Obligation, Series 1987-A, Series 1989, Series 1989-A, Series 1991, and Series 1992, as permitted in the Ordinances authorizing same; and it is hereby found and determined that none of the above defined surplus Revenues have ever been used to pay any princi- pal and/or interest on said City of Denton Certificates of obligation, series 1987-A, Series 1989, Series 1989-A, Series 1991, or Series 1992. Section 10. DEFEASANCE OF CERTIFICATES. (a) Any Certif- icate and the interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired, and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased Certificate") within the meaning of this Ordinance, except to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section, when payment of the principal of such Certificate, plus interest thereon to the due date either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such due date by irrevocably deposit- ing with or making available to the Paying Agent/Registrar for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of America sufficient to make such payment or (2) Government obligations which mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability, without rein- vestment, of sufficient money to provide for such payment, and when proper arrangements have been made by the Issuer with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Certificate shall be deemed to be a Defeased Certificate hereunder, as aforesaid, such Certificate and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by, payable from, or entitled to the benefits of, the ad valorem taxes herein levied and pledged as provided in this Ordinance, and such 22 principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or Government Obligations. (b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Regis- trar may at the written direction of the Issuer also be in- vested in Government Obligations, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from such Government Obligations received by the Paying Agent/Registrar which is not required for the payment of the Certificates and interest thereon, with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be turned over to the Issuer, or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer. (c) The term "Government Obligations" as used in this Section shall mean direct obligations of the United States of America, including obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, which may be United States Treasury obligations such as its State and Local Government Series, which may be in book-entry form. (d) Until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Certifi- cates the same as if they had not been defeased, and the Issuer shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Ordinance. Section 11. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DE- STROYED CERTIFICATES. (a) Replacement Certificates. In the event any outstanding certificate is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed, and delivered, a new certificate of the same principal amount, maturity, and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, in replacement for such Certificate in the manner hereinafter provided. (b) Application for Replacement Certificates. Applica- tion for replacement of damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificates shall be made by the registered owner thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner applying for a replacement certificate shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Paying Agent/Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss or damage with respect thereto. Also, in every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner shall furnish to the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, 23 theft, or destruction of such Certificate, as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a Certificate, the registered owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Certificate so damaged or mutilated. (c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the event of any such Certifi- cate shall have matured, and no default has occurred which is then continuing in the payment of the principal of, or interest on the Certificate, the Issuer may authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Certificate) instead of issuing a replacement Certificate, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section. (d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Certificates. Prior to the issuance of any replacement certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such Certificate with all legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Certificate is lost, stolen, or destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and proportion- ately with any and all other Certificates duly issued under this Ordinance. (e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Certificates. In accordance with Section 6 of Vernon's Ann. Tex. Civ. St. Art. 717k-6, this Section of this Ordinance shall constitute author- ity for the issuance of any such replacement certificate without necessity of further action by the governing body of the Issuer or any other body or person, and the duty of the replacement of such certificates is hereby authorized and imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/- Registrar shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 6(d) of this Ordinance for Certificates issued in conversion and exchange for other Certificates. Section 12. CUSTODY, APPROVAL, AND REGISTRATION OF CERTIFICATES; CERTIFICATE COUNSEL'S OPINION, CUSIP NUMBERS, PREAMBLE AND INSURANCE.

Upon registration of the Initial Certificate said Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a deputy designated in writing to act for said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate on the Initial Certificate, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile, on the Initial Certificate. The approving legal opinion of the Issuer's Bond Counsel and the assigned CUSIP numbers may, at the option of the Issuer, be printed on the Initial Certificate or on any Certificates issued and delivered in conversion of and exchange or replacement of any Certificate, but neither shall have any legal effect, and shall be solely for the convenience and information of the registered owners of the Certificates. The preamble to this Ordinance is hereby adopted and made a part hereof for all purposes.If insurance is obtained on any of the Certificates, the Initial Certificate and all other Certifi- cates shall bear an appropriate legend concerning insurance as provided by the insurer. Section 13. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX-EXEMPTION. The Issuer covenants to refrain from taking any action which would adversely affect, and to take any action required to ensure, the treatment of the Certificates as obligations described in section 103 of the Code, the interest on which is not includ- able in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of federal income taxation. In furtherance thereof, the Issuer covenants as follows: (a) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates or the project financed therewith (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business use", as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds or the project financed therewith are so used, such amounts, whether or not received by the Issuer, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Ordinance or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service on the Certificates, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code; (b) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described in subsection (a) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates or the project financed therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a "private business use" which is "related" and not "disproportion- ate", within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use; 25 (c) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of $5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state or local governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code; (d) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Certificates being treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code; (e) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Certificates being "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code; (f) to refrain from using any portion of the pro- ceeds of the Certificates, directly or indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces a materially higher yield over the term of the Certificates, other than investment property acquired with (1) proceeds of the Certificates invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3 years or less, or in the case of a refunding certificate for a period of 30 days or less, until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the certificates are issued, (2) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of section 1.103-13(b)(12) of the Treasury Regulations, and (3) amounts deposited in any reasonably re- quired reserve or replacement fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates; (g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Certificates or amounts treated as proceeds of the Certificates, as may be necessary, so that the Certifi- cates do not otherwise contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relat- ing to advance refundings); 26 (h) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Certificates) an amount that is at least equal to 90 percent of the "Excess Earnings", within the meaning of section 148(f) of the Code and to pay to the United States of America, not later that 60 days after the Certificates have been paid in full, 100 percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section 148(f) of the Code; and (i) to maintain such records as will enable the Issuer to fulfill its responsibilities under this section and section 148 of the Code and to retain such records for at least six years following the final payment of princi- pal and interest on the Certificates. It is the understanding of the Issuer that the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which modify, or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Certifi- cates, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Certificates under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are in furtherance of such intention, the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor and/or the Director of Finance of the Issuer to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the Issuer, which may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Certificate. Section 14. SALE OF INITIAL CERTIFICATE. The Initial Certificate is hereby sold and shall be delivered to A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., for cash for the par value thereof and accrued interest thereon to date of delivery, plus a premium of $ - 0 - . It is hereby officially found, deter- mined, and declared that the Initial Certificate has been sold at public sale to the bidder offering the lowest interest cost, after receiving sealed bids pursuant to an official Notice of Sale and Bidding Instructions and Official Statement dated January 7, 1993, prepared and distributed in connection with the sale of the Initial Certificate. Said official Notice of Sale and Bidding Instructions and official Statement, and any addenda, supplement, or amendment thereto have been and are hereby approved by the Issuer, and their use in the offer and sale of the Certificates is hereby approved. It is further 27 officially found, determined, and declared that the statements and representations contained in said Official Notice of Sale and Official Statement are true and correct in all material re- spects, to the best knowledge and belief of the City Council and the Issuer. Section 15. INTEREST EARNINGS ON CERTIFICATE PROCEEDS. Interest earnings derived from the investment of proceeds from the sale of the Initial Certificate shall be used along with other proceeds for the purposes for which the Certificates are issued; provided that after completion of such purposes, if any of such interest earnings remain on hand, such interest earn- ings shall be deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund. It is further provided, however, that any interest earnings on certificate proceeds which are required to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to Section 13 hereof in order to prevent the Certificates from being "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Code shall be so rebated and not considered as interest earnings for the purposes of this Section. Section 16. DTC REGISTRATION. The Certificates initially shall be issued and delivered in such manner that no physical distribution of the Certificates will be made to the public, and the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, initially will act as depository for the Certificates. DTC has represented that it is a limited purpose trust company incorpo- rated under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clear- ing agency" registered under Section 17A of the federal Securi- ties Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Issuer accepts, but in no way verifies, such representations. The Initial Certificate authorized by this Ordinance shall be delivered to and registered in the name of the Purchaser. However, it is a condition of delivery and sale that the Purchaser, immediately after such delivery, shall cause the Paying Agent/Registrar, as provided for in this Ordinance, to cancel said Initial Certif- icate and deliver in exchange therefor a substitute certificate for each maturity of such Initial Certificate, with each such substitute Certificate to be registered in the name of CEDE & CO., the nominee of DTC, and it shall be the duty of the Paying Agent/Registrar to take such action. It is expected that DTC will hold the Certificates on behalf of the Purchaser and/or the DTC Participants, as defined and described in the Official Statement referred to and approved in Section 14 hereof (the "DTC Participants"). So long as each Certificate is registered in the name of CEDE & CO., the Paying Agent/Registrar shall treat and deal with DTC in all respects the same as if it were the actual and beneficial owner thereof. It is expected that DTC will maintain a book entry system which will identify 28 beneficial ownership of the Certificates by DTC Participants in integral amounts of $5,000, with transfers of ownership being effected on the records of DTC and the DTC Participants pursu- ant to rules and regulations established by them, and that the substitute Certificates initially deposited with DTC shall be immobilized and not be further exchanged for substitute Certif- icates except as hereinafter provided. The Issuer is not responsible or liable for any functions of DTC, will not be responsible for paying any fees or charges with respect to its services, will not be responsible or liable for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing the records of DTC or the DTC Partic- ipants, or protecting any interests or rights of the beneficial owners of the Certificates. It shall be the duty of the Purchaser and the DTC Participants to make all arrangements with DTC to establish this book-entry system, the beneficial ownership of the Certificates, and the method of paying the fees and charges of DTC. The Issuer does not represent, nor does it in any way covenant that the initial book-entry system established with DTC will be maintained in the future. The Issuer reserves the right and option at any time in the future, in its sole discretion, to terminate the DTC (CEDE & CO.) book-entry only registration requirement described above, and to permit the Certificates to be registered in the name of any owner. If the Issuer exercises its right and option to termi- nate such requirement, it shall give written notice of such termination to the Paying Agent/Registrar and to DTC, and thereafter the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, upon presentation and proper request, register any Certificate in any name as provided for in this ordinance. Notwithstanding the initial establishment of the foregoing book-entry system with DTC, if for any reason any of the originally delivered substitute Certificates is duly filed with the Paying Agent/Registrar with proper request for transfer and substitution, as provided for in this Ordinance, substitute Certificates will be duly deliv- ered as provided in this Ordinance, and there will be no assurance or representation that any book-entry system will be maintained for such Certificates. Section 17. FURTHER PROCEDURES. The Mayor of the Issuer, the City Secretary of the Issuer, and all other officers, employees, and agents of the Issuer, and each of them, shall be and they 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 under the corporate seal and on behalf of the Issuer all such instruments, whether or not herein mentioned, as may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Certificate Ordinance, the Certificates, the sale of the Certificates, and the Notice of Sale and Official Statement; and the Director of Finance of the 29 City shall cause the expenses of issuance of the Certificates to be paid from the proceeds of sale of the Initial Certifi- cate. In case any officer whose signature shall appear on any Certificate shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Certificate, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery. 30 CERTIFICATE FOR ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE, SALE, AND DELIVERY OF CITY OF DENTON CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, SERIES 1993, AND APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING INSTRUMENTS AND PROCEDURES RELATING THERETO THE STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF DENTON CITY OF DENTON We, the undersigned officers of said City, hereby certify as follows: 1.
