with said interest being payable on JANUARY 1, 1994, and semi-
annually on each JULY 1 and JANUARY 1 thereafter while this
Bond or any portion hereof is outstanding and unpaid.
THE INSTALLMENTS OF PRINCIPAL OF AND THE INTEREST ON this
Bond are payable in lawful money of the United States of
America, without exchange or collection charges. The install-
ments of principal and the interest on this Bond are payable to
the registered owner hereof through the services of NATIONSBANK
OF TEXAS, N.A., DALLAS, TEXAS, which is the "Paying
Agent/Registrar" for this Bond. Payment of all principal of
and interest on this Bond shall be made by the Paying
Agent/Registrar to the registered owner hereof on each princi-
pal and/or interest payment date by check, dated as of such
date, drawn by the Paying Agent/Registrar on, and payable
solely from, funds of the Issuer required by the ordinance
authorizing the issuance of this Bond (the "Bond Ordinance") to
be on deposit with the Paying Agent/Registrar for such purpose
as hereinafter provided; and such check shall be sent by the
Paying Agent/Registrar by United States mail, first-class
postage prepaid, on each such principal and/or interest payment
date, to the registered owner hereof, at the address of the
registered owner, as it appeared at the close of business on
the 15th day of the month next preceding each such date (the
"Record Date") on the Registration Books kept by the Paying
Agent/Registrar, as hereinafter described. The Issuer
4
covenants with the registered owner of this Bond that on or
before each principal and/or interest payment date for this
Bond it will make available to the Paying Agent/Registrar, from
the "Interest and Sinking Fund" created by the Bond Ordinance,
the amounts required to provide for the payment, in immediately
available funds, of all principal of and interest on this Bond,
when due.
IF THE DATE for the payment of the principal of or inter-
est on this Bond shall be a Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday,
or a day on which banking institutions in the City where the
Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized by law or
executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall
be the next succeeding day which is not such a Saturday,
Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which 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.
THIS BOND has been authorized in accordance with the
constitution and laws of the State of Texas FOR THE PURPOSE OF
THE ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY AND MAKING IMPROVEMENTS FOR PUBLIC
PURPOSES IN SAID CITY, TO-WIT: $575,000 FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO
PUBLIC LIBRARIES; and $2,400,000 FOR CONSTRUCTING A CITY LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND COURT BUILDING.
ON JULY 1, 2002, or on any date whatsoever thereafter, the
unpaid installments of principal of this Bond may be prepaid or
redeemed prior to their scheduled due dates, at the option of
the Issuer, with funds derived from any available source, as a
whole, or in part, and, if in part, the particular portion of
this Bond to be prepaid or redeemed shall be selected and
designated by the Issuer (provided that a portion of this Bond
may be redeemed only in an integral multiple of $5,000), at the
prepayment or redemption price of the par or principal amount
thereof, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for prepayment
or redemption.
AT LEAST 30 days prior to the date fixed for any such
prepayment or redemption a written notice of such prepayment or
redemption shall be mailed by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the
registered owner hereof. By the date fixed for any such
prepayment or redemption due provision shall be made by the
Issuer with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the
required prepayment or redemption price for this Bond or the
portion hereof which is to be so prepaid or redeemed, plus
accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment or
redemption. If such written notice of prepayment or redemption
is given, and if due provision for such payment is made, all as
provided above, this Bond, or the portion thereof which is to
5
be so prepaid or redeemed, thereby automatically shall be
treated as prepaid or redeemed prior to its scheduled due date,
and shall not bear interest after the date fixed for its
prepayment or redemption, and shall not be regarded as being
outstanding except for the right of the registered owner to
receive the prepayment or redemption price plus accrued inter-
est to the date fixed for prepayment or redemption from the
Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such
payment. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall record in the
Registration Books all such prepayments or redemptions of
principal of this Bond or any portion hereof.
THIS BOND, to the extent of the unpaid or unredeemed
principal balance hereof, or any unpaid and unredeemed portion
hereof in any integral multiple of $5,000, may be assigned by
the initial registered owner hereof and shall be transferred
only in the Registration Books of the Issuer kept by the Paying
Agent/Registrar acting in the capacity of registrar for the
Bonds, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Bond
Ordinance. Among other requirements for such transfer, this
Bond must be presented and surrendered to the Paying Agent/
Registrar for cancellation, together with proper instruments of
assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfac-
tory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, evidencing assignment by
the initial registered owner of this Bond, or any portion or
portions hereof in any integral multiple of $5,000, to the
assignee or assignees in whose name or names this Bond or any
such portion or portions hereof is or are to be transferred and
registered. Any instrument or instruments of assignment
satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar may be used to
evidence the assignment of this Bond or any such portion or
portions hereof by the initial registered owner hereof. A new
bond or bonds payable to such assignee or assignees (which then
will be the new registered owner or owners of such new Bond or
Bonds) or to the initial registered owner as to any portion of
this Bond which is not being assigned and transferred by the
initial registered owner, shall be delivered by the Paying
Agent/Registrar in conversion of and exchange for this Bond or
any portion or portions hereof, but solely in the form and
manner as provided in the next paragraph hereof for the conver-
sion and exchange of this Bond or any portion hereof. The
registered owner of this Bond shall be deemed and treated by
the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar as the absolute owner
hereof for all purposes, including payment and discharge of
liability upon this Bond to the extent of such payment, and the
Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be affected by
any notice to the contrary.
AS PROVIDED above and in the Bond Ordinance, this Bond, to
the extent of the unpaid or unredeemed principal balance
6
hereof, may be converted into and exchanged for a like aggre-
gate principal amount of fully registered bonds, without
interest coupons, payable to the assignee or assignees duly
designated in writing by the initial registered owner hereof,
or to the initial registered owner as to any portion of this
Bond which is not being assigned and transferred by the initial
registered owner, in any denomination or denominations in any
integral multiple of $5,000 (subject to the requirement here-
inafter stated that each substitute bond issued in exchange for
any portion of this Bond shall have a single stated principal
maturity date), upon surrender of this Bond to the Paying
Agent/Registrar for cancellation, all in accordance with the
form and procedures set forth in the Bond Ordinance. If this
Bond or any portion hereof is assigned and transferred or
converted each bond issued in exchange for any portion hereof
shall have a single stated principal maturity date correspond-
ing to the due date of the installment of principal of this
Bond or portion hereof for which the substitute bond is being
exchanged, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to
and borne by such installment of principal or portion thereof.
Such bonds, respectively, shall be subject to redemption prior
to maturity on the same dates and for the same prices as the
corresponding installment of principal of this Bond or portion
hereof for which they are being exchanged. No such bond shall
be payable in installments, but shall have only one stated
principal maturity date. AS PROVIDED IN THE BOND ORDINANCE,
THIS BOND IN ITS PRESENT FORM MAY BE ASSIGNED AND TRANSFERRED
OR CONVERTED ONCE ONLY, and to one or more assignees, but the
bonds issued and delivered in exchange for this Bond or any
portion hereof may be assigned and transferred, and converted,
subsequently, as provided in the Bond Ordinance. The Issuer
shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's standard or customary
fees and charges for transferring, converting, and exchanging
this Bond or any portion thereof, but the one requesting such
transfer, conversion, and exchange shall pay any taxes or
governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto.
The Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to make any
such assignment, conversion, or exchange (i) during the period
commencing with the close of business on any Record Date and
ending with the opening of business on the next following
principal or interest payment date, or, (ii) with respect to
any Bond or portion thereof called for prepayment or redemption
prior to maturity, within 45 days prior to its prepayment or
redemption date.
IN THE EVENT any Paying Agent/Registrar for this Bond is
changed by the Issuer, resigns, or otherwise ceases to act as
such, the Issuer has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance that it
promptly will appoint a competent and legally qualified
7
substitute therefor, and promptly will cause written notice
thereof to be mailed to the registered owner of this Bond.
IT IS HEREBY certified, recited, and covenanted that this
Bond has been duly and validly voted, authorized, issued, sold,
and delivered; that all acts, conditions, and things required
or proper to be performed, exist, and be done precedent to or
in the authorization, issuance, and delivery of this Bond have
been performed, existed, and been done in accordance with law;
that this Bond is a general obligation of the Issuer, issued on
the full faith and credit thereof; and that annual ad valorem
taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on
and principal of this Bond, as such interest comes due and such
principal matures, have been levied and ordered to be levied
against all taxable property in the Issuer, and have been
pledged irrevocably for such payment, within the limit pre-
scribed by law.
BY BECOMING the registered owner of this Bond, the regis-
tered owner thereby acknowledges all of the terms and provi-
sions of the Bond Ordinance, agrees to be bound by such terms
and provisions, acknowledges that the Bond Ordinance is duly
recorded and available for inspection in the official minutes
and records of the governing body of the Issuer, and agrees

nance constitute a contract between the registered owner hereof
and the Issuer.

countersigned with the manual signature of the City Secretary
of the Issuer, has caused the official seal of the Issuer to be
duly impressed on this Bond, and has caused this Bond to be

Section 6. ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BONDS.
Registration and Transfer. (a) The Issuer shall keep or cause
to be kept at the principal corporate trust office of
NATIONSBANK OF TEXAS, N.A., DALLAS, TEXAS (the "Paying
Agent/Registrar") books or records of the registration and
transfer of the Bonds (the "Registration Books"), and the
Issuer hereby appoints the Paying Agent/Registrar as its
registrar and transfer agent to keep such books or records and
make such transfers and registrations under such reasonable
regulations as the Issuer and Paying Agent/Registrar may
prescribe; and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall make such
transfers and registrations as herein provided. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall obtain and record in the Registration
Books the address of the registered owner of each Bond to which
payments with respect to the Bonds shall be mailed, as herein
provided; but it shall be the duty of each registered owner to
notify the Paying Agent/Registrar in writing of the address to
which payments shall be mailed, and such interest payments
shall not be mailed unless such notice has been given. The
Issuer shall have the right to inspect the Registration Books
during regular business hours of the Paying Agent/Registrar,
but otherwise the Paying Agent/Registrar shall keep the Regis-
tration Books confidential and, unless otherwise required by
law, shall not permit their inspection by any other entity.
Registration of each Bond may be transferred in the Registra-
tion Books only upon presentation and surrender of such Bond to
the Paying Agent/Registrar for transfer of registration and
cancellation, together with proper written instruments of
assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satis-
factory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, (i) evidencing the
assignment of the Bond, or any portion thereof in any integral
multiple of $5,000, to the assignee or assignees thereof, and
(ii) the right of such assignee or assignees to have the Bond
or any such portion thereof registered in the name of such
assignee or assignees. Upon the assignment and transfer of any
Bond or any portion thereof, a new substitute Bond or Bonds
shall be issued in conversion and exchange therefor in the
manner herein provided. The Initial Bond, to the extent of the
unpaid or unredeemed principal balance thereof, may be assigned
9
and transferred by the initial registered owner thereof once
only, and to one or more assignees designated in writing by the
initial registered owner thereof. All Bonds issued and de-
livered in conversion of and exchange for the Initial Bond
shall be in any denomination or denominations of any integral
multiple of $5,000 (subject to the requirement hereinafter
stated that each substitute Bond shall have a single stated
principal maturity date), shall be in the form prescribed in
the FORM OF SUBSTITUTE BOND set forth in this Ordinance, and
shall have the characteristics, and may be assigned, trans-
ferred, and converted as hereinafter provided. If the Initial
Bond or any portion thereof is assigned and transferred or
converted the Initial Bond must be surrendered to the Paying
Agent/Registrar for cancellation, and each Bond issued in
exchange for any portion of the Initial Bond shall have a
single stated principal maturity date, and shall not be payable
in installments; and each such Bond shall have a principal
maturity date corresponding to the due date of the installment
of principal or portion thereof for which the substitute Bond
is being exchanged; and each such Bond shall bear interest at
the single rate applicable to and borne by such installment of
principal or portion thereof for which it is being exchanged.
If only a portion of the Initial Bond is assigned and trans-
ferred, there shall be delivered to and registered in the name
of the initial registered owner substitute Bonds in exchange
for the unassigned balance of the Initial Bond in the same
manner as if the initial registered owner were the assignee
thereof. If any Bond or portion thereof other than the Initial
Bond is assigned and transferred or converted each Bond issued
in exchange therefor shall have the same principal maturity
date and bear interest at the same rate as the Bond for which
it is exchanged. A form of assignment shall be printed or
endorsed on each Bond, excepting the Initial Bond, which shall
be executed by the registered owner or its duly authorized
attorney or representative to evidence an assignment thereof.
Upon surrender of any Bonds or any portion or portions thereof
for transfer of registration, an authorized representative of
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall make such transfer in the
Registration Books, and shall deliver a new fully registered
substitute Bond or Bonds, having the characteristics herein
described, payable to such assignee or assignees (which then
will be the registered owner or owners of such new Bond or
Bonds), or to the previous registered owner in case only a
portion of a Bond is being assigned and transferred, all in
conversion of and exchange for said assigned Bond or Bonds or
any portion or portions thereof, in the same form and manner,
and with the same effect, as provided in Section 6(d), below,
for the conversion and exchange of Bonds by any registered
owner of a Bond. The Issuer shall pay the Paying Agent/Regis-
trar's standard or customary fees and charges for making such
10
transfer and delivery of a substitute Bond or Bonds, but the
one requesting such transfer shall pay any taxes or other
governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto.
The Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to make
transfers of registration of any Bond or any portion thereof
(i) during the period commencing with the close of business on
any Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the
next following principal or interest payment date, or, (ii)
with respect to any Bond or any portion thereof called for
redemption prior to maturity, within 45 days prior to its
redemption date.
(b) Ownership of Bonds. The entity in whose name any
Bond shall be registered in the Registration Books at any time
shall be deemed and treated as the absolute owner thereof for
all purposes of this Ordinance, whether or not such Bond shall
be overdue, and the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary; and payment of,
or on account of, the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on any such Bond shall be made only to such registered
owner. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(c) Payment of Bonds and Interest. The Issuer hereby
further appoints the Paying Agent/Registrar to act as the
paying agent for paying the principal of and interest on the
Bonds, and to act as its agent to convert and exchange or
replace Bonds, all as provided in this Ordinance. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall keep proper records of all payments made
by the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar with respect to
the Bonds, and of all conversions and exchanges of Bonds, and
all replacements of Bonds, as provided in this Ordinance.
(d) Conversion and Exchange or Replacement; Authenti-
cation. Each Bond issued and delivered pursuant to this
Ordinance, to the extent of the unpaid or unredeemed principal
balance or principal amount thereof, may, upon surrender of
such Bond at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying
Agent/Registrar, together with a written request therefor duly
executed by the registered owner or the assignee or assignees
thereof, or its or their duly authorized attorneys or represen-
tatives, with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the
Paying Agent/Registrar, may, at the option of the registered
owner or such assignee or assignees, as appropriate, be con-
verted into and exchanged for fully registered bonds, without
interest coupons, in the form prescribed in the FORM OF SUBSTI-
TUTE BOND set forth in this Ordinance, in the denomination of
$5,000, or any integral multiple of $5,000 (subject to the
requirement hereinafter stated that each substitute Bond shall
11
have a single stated maturity date), as requested in writing by
such registered owner or such assignee or assignees, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid or unredeemed
principal balance or principal amount of any Bond or Bonds so
surrendered, and payable to the appropriate registered owner,
assignee, or assignees, as the case may be. If the Initial
Bond is assigned and transferred or converted each substitute
Bond issued in exchange for any portion of the Initial Bond
shall have a single stated principal maturity date, and shall
not be payable in installments; and each such Bond shall have a
principal maturity date corresponding to the due date of the
installment of principal or portion thereof for which the
substitute Bond is being exchanged; and each such Bond shall
bear interest at the single rate applicable to and borne by
such installment of principal or portion thereof for which it
is being exchanged. If a portion of any Bond (other than the
Initial Bond) shall be redeemed prior to its scheduled maturity
as provided herein, a substitute Bond or Bonds having the same
maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate, in the
denomination or denominations of any integral multiple of
$5,000 at the request of the registered owner, and in aggregate
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof, will
be issued to the registered owner upon surrender thereof for
cancellation. If any Bond or portion thereof (other than the
Initial Bond) is assigned and transferred or converted, each
Bond issued in exchange therefor shall have the same principal
maturity date and bear interest at the same rate as the Bond
for which it is being exchanged. Each substitute Bond shall
bear a letter and/or number to distinguish it from each other
Bond. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall convert and exchange or
replace Bonds as provided herein, and each fully registered
bond delivered in conversion of and exchange for or replacement
of any Bond or portion thereof as permitted or required by any
provision of this Ordinance shall constitute one of the Bonds
for all purposes of this Ordinance, and may again be converted
and exchanged or replaced. It is specifically provided that
any Bond authenticated in conversion of and exchange for or
replacement of another Bond on or prior to the first scheduled
Record Date for the Initial Bond shall bear interest from the
date of the Initial Bond, but each substitute Bond so authenti-
cated after such first scheduled Record Date shall bear inter-
est from the interest payment date next preceding the date on
which such substitute Bond was so authenticated, unless such
Bond is authenticated after any Record Date but on or before
the next following interest payment date, in which case it
shall bear interest from such next following interest payment
date; provided, however, that if at the time of delivery of any
substitute Bond the interest on the Bond for which it is being
exchanged is due but has not been paid, then such Bond shall
bear interest from the date to which such interest has been
12
paid in full. THE INITIAL BOND issued and delivered pursuant
to this Ordinance is not required to be, and shall not be,
authenticated by the Paying Agent/Registrar, but on each
substitute Bond issued in conversion of and exchange for or
replacement of any Bond or Bonds issued under this Ordinance
there shall be printed a bond, in the form substantially as
follows:
"PAYING AGENT/REGISTRAR'S AUTHENTICATION CERTIFICATE

shall, before the delivery of any such Bond, date and manually
sign the above Bond, and no such Bond shall be deemed to be
issued or outstanding unless such Bond is so executed. The
Paying Agent/Registrar promptly shall cancel all Bonds surren-
dered for conversion and exchange or replacement. No addition-
al ordinances, orders, or resolutions need be passed or adopted
by the governing body of the Issuer or any other body or person
so as to accomplish the foregoing conversion and exchange or
replacement of any Bond or portion thereof, and the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall provide for the printing, execution, and
delivery of the substitute Bonds in the manner prescribed
herein, and said Bonds shall be of type composition printed on
paper with lithographed or steel engraved borders of customary
weight and strength. Pursuant to Vernon's Ann. Tex. Civ. St.
Art. 717k-6, and particularly Section 6 thereof, the duty of
conversion and exchange or replacement of Bonds as aforesaid is
hereby imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and, upon the
execution of the above Paying Agent/Registrar's Authentication
Certificate, the converted and exchanged or replaced Bond shall
be valid, incontestable, and enforceable in the same manner and
with the same effect as the Initial Bond which originally was
issued pursuant to this Ordinance, approved by the Attorney
General, and registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts.
The Issuer shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's standard or
13
customary fees and charges for transferring, converting, and
exchanging any Bond or any portion thereof, but the one re-
questing any such transfer, conversion, and exchange shall pay
any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with
respect thereto as a condition precedent to the exercise of
such privilege of conversion and exchange. The Paying Agent/
Registrar shall not be required to make any such conversion and
exchange or replacement of Bonds or any portion thereof (i)
during the period commencing with the close of business on any
Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the next
following principal or interest payment date, or, (ii) with
respect to any Bond or portion thereof called for redemption
prior to maturity, within 45 days prior to its redemption date.
(e) In General. All Bonds issued in conversion and
exchange or replacement of any other Bond or portion thereof,
(i) shall be issued in fully registered form, without interest
coupons, with the principal of and interest on such Bonds to be
payable only to the registered owners thereof, (ii) may be
redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, (iii) may be
transferred and assigned, (iv) may be converted and exchanged
for other Bonds, (v) shall have the characteristics, (vi) shall
be signed and sealed, and (vii) the principal of and interest
on the Bonds shall be payable, all as provided, and in the
manner required or indicated, in the FORM OF SUBSTITUTE BOND
set forth in this Ordinance.
(f) Payment of Fees and Charges. The Issuer hereby
covenants with the registered owners of the Bonds that it will
(i) pay the standard or customary fees and charges of the
Paying Agent/Registrar for its services with respect to the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, when
due, and (ii) pay the fees and charges of the Paying Agent/
Registrar for services with respect to the transfer of regis-
tration of Bonds, and with respect to the conversion and
exchange of Bonds solely to the extent above provided in this
Ordinance.
(g) Substitute Paying Agent Registrar. The Issuer
covenants with the registered owners of the Bonds that at all
times while the Bonds are outstanding the Issuer will provide a
competent and legally qualified bank, trust company, financial
institution, or other agency to act as and perform the services
of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds under this Ordinance,
and that the Paying Agent/Registrar will be one entity. The
Issuer reserves the right to, and may, at its option, change
the Paying Agent/Registrar upon not less than 120 days written
notice to the Paying Agent/Registrar, to be effective not later
than 60 days prior to the next principal or interest payment
date after such notice. In the event that the entity at any
14
time acting as Paying Agent/Registrar (or its successor by
merger, acquisition, or other method) should resign or other-
wise cease to act as such, the Issuer covenants that promptly
it will appoint a competent and legally qualified bank, trust
company, financial institution, or other agency to act as
Paying Agent/Registrar under this Ordinance. Upon any change
in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the previous Paying Agent/Regis-
trar promptly shall transfer and deliver the Registration Books
(or a copy thereof), along with all other pertinent books and
records relating to the Bonds, to the new Paying Agent/Regis-
trar designated and appointed by the Issuer. Upon any change
in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the Issuer promptly will cause a
written notice thereof to be sent by the new Paying Agent/-
Registrar to each registered owner of the Bonds, by United
States mail, first-class postage prepaid, which notice also
shall give the address of the new Paying Agent/Registrar. By
accepting the position and performing as such, each Paying
Agent/Registrar shall be deemed to have agreed to the provi-
sions of this Ordinance, and a certified copy of this Ordinance
shall be delivered to each Paying Agent/Registrar.

Registrar, from the "Interest and Sinking Fund" created by the
Bond ordinance, the amounts required to provide for the pay-
ment, in immediately available funds, of all principal of and
interest on the Bonds, when due.

est on this Bond shall be a Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday,

Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized by law or
executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall
be the next succeeding day which is not such a Saturday,
Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which 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.
THIS BOND is one of an issue of Bonds initially dated
MARCH 1, 1993, authorized in accordance with the Constitution
and laws of the State of Texas in the principal amount of

Bonds of this Series may be redeemed prior to their scheduled
maturities, at the option of the Issuer, with funds derived
from any available and lawful source, as a whole, or in part,
and, if in part, the particular Bonds, or portions thereof, to
be redeemed shall be selected and designated by the Issuer
(provided that a portion of a Bond may be redeemed only in an
integral multiple of $5,000), at the redemption price of the
par or principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the
date fixed for redemption.
AT LEAST 30 days prior to the date fixed for any redemp-
tion of Bonds or portions thereof prior to maturity a written
notice of such redemption shall be published once in a finan-
cial publication, journal, or reporter of general circulation
among securities dealers in The City of New York, New York

limited to, The Texas Bond Reporter). Such notice also shall
be sent by the Paying Agent/Registrar by United States mail,
first-class postage prepaid, not less than 30 days prior to the
date fixed for any such redemption, to the registered owner of
each Bond to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the
45th day prior to such redemption date; provided, however, that
17
the failure to send, mail, or receive such notice, or any
defect therein or in the sending or mailing thereof, shall not
affect the validity or effectiveness of the proceedings for the
redemption of any Bond, and it is hereby specifically provided
that the publication of such notice as required above shall be
the only notice actually required in connection with or as a
prerequisite to the redemption of any Bonds or portions there-
of. By the date fixed for any such redemption due provision
shall be made with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment
of the required redemption price for the Bonds or portions
thereof which are to be so redeemed, plus accrued interest
thereon to the date fixed for redemption. If such written
notice of redemption is published and if due provision for such
payment.is made, all as provided above, the Bonds or portions
thereof which are to be so redeemed thereby automatically shall
be treated as redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, and
they shall not bear interest after the date fixed for redemp-
tion, and they shall not be regarded as being outstanding
except for the right of the registered owner to receive the
redemption price plus accrued interest from the Paying Agent/
Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. If a
portion of any Bond shall be redeemed a substitute Bond or
Bonds having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the
same rate, in any denomination or denominations in any integral
multiple of $5,000, at the written request of the registered
owner, and in aggregate principal amount equal to the unre-
deemed portion thereof, will be issued to the registered owner
upon the surrender thereof for cancellation, at the expense of
the Issuer, all as provided in the Bond Ordinance.
THIS BOND OR ANY PORTION OR PORTIONS HEREOF IN ANY INTE-
GRAL MULTIPLE OF $5,000 may be assigned and shall be trans-
ferred only in the Registration Books of the Issuer kept by the
Paying Agent/Registrar acting in the capacity of registrar for
the Bonds, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Bond
Ordinance. Among other requirements for such assignment and
transfer, this Bond must be presented and surrendered to the
Paying Agent/Registrar, together with proper instruments of
assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfac-
tory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, evidencing assignment of
this Bond or any portion or portions hereof in any integral
multiple of $5,000 to the assignee or assignees in whose name
or names this Bond or any such portion or portions hereof is or
are to be transferred and registered. The form of Assignment
printed or endorsed on this Bond shall be executed by the
registered owner or its duly authorized attorney or representa-
tive,to evidence the assignment hereof. A new Bond or Bonds
payable to such assignee or assignees (which then will be the
new registered owner or owners of such new Bond or Bonds), or
to the previous registered owner in the case of the assignment
18
and transfer of only a portion of this Bond, may be delivered
by the Paying Agent/Registrar in conversion of and exchange for
this Bond, all in the form and manner as provided in the next
paragraph hereof for the conversion and exchange of other
Bonds. The Issuer shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's
standard or customary fees and charges for making such trans-
fer, but the one requesting such transfer shall pay any taxes
or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect
thereto. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to
make transfers of registration of this Bond or any portion
hereof (i) during the period commencing with the close of
business on any Record Date and ending with the opening of
business on the next following principal or interest payment
date, or, (ii) with respect to any Bond or any portion thereof
called for redemption prior to maturity, within 45 days prior
to its redemption date. The registered owner of this Bond
shall be deemed and treated by the Issuer and the Paying
Agent/Registrar as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes,
including payment and discharge of liability upon this Bond to
the extent of such payment, and the Issuer and the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
ALL BONDS OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully
registered bonds, without interest coupons, in the denomination
of any integral multiple of $5,000. As provided in the Bond
Ordinance, this Bond, or any unredeemed portion hereof, may, at
the request of the registered owner or the assignee or as-
signees hereof, be converted into and exchanged for a like
aggregate principal amount of fully registered bonds, without
interest coupons, payable to the appropriate registered owner,
assignee, or assignees, as the case may be, having the same
maturity date, and bearing interest at the same rate, in any
denomination or denominations in any integral multiple of
$5,000 as requested in writing by the appropriate registered
owner, assignee, or assignees, as the case may be, upon sur-
render of this Bond to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancella-
tion, all in accordance with the form and procedures set forth
in the Bond Ordinance. The Issuer shall pay the Paying Agent/
Registrar's standard or customary fees and charges for trans-
ferring, converting, and exchanging any Bond or any portion
thereof, but the one requesting such transfer, conversion, and
exchange shall pay any taxes or governmental charges required
to be paid with respect thereto as a condition precedent to the
exercise of such privilege of conversion and exchange. The
Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to make any such
conversion and exchange (i) during the period commencing with
the close of business on any Record Date and ending with the
opening of business on the next following principal or interest
payment date, or, (ii) with respect to any Bond or portion
19
thereof called for redemption prior to maturity, within 45 days
prior to its redemption date.

changed by the Issuer, resigns, or otherwise ceases to act as
such, the Issuer has covenanted in the Bond ordinance that it
promptly will appoint a competent and legally qualified substi-
tute therefor, and promptly will cause written notice thereof
to be mailed to the registered owners of the Bonds.

Bond has been duly and validly voted, authorized, issued, sold,

or proper to be performed, exist, and be done precedent to or
in the authorization, issuance, and delivery of this Bond have

against all taxable property in the Issuer, and have been
pledged irrevocably for such payment, within the limit pre-
scribed by law.

tered owner thereby acknowledges all of the terms and provi-
sions of the Bond Ordinance, agrees to be bound by such terms
and provisions, acknowledges that the Bond Ordinance is duly

Section 8. (a) TAX LEVY. A special Interest and Sinking
Fund (the "Interest and Sinking Fund") is hereby created solely
for the benefit of the Bonds, and the Interest and Sinking Fund
shall be established and maintained by the Issuer at an offi-
cial 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 Bonds. All ad valorem taxes
levied and collected for and on account of the Bonds shall be
deposited, as collected, to the credit of the Interest and
Sinking Fund. During each year while any of the Bonds 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 Bonds as
such interest becomes due, and to provide and maintain a
sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of its Bonds as such
principal matures (but never less than 2% of the original
principal amount of the Bonds as a sinking fund each year); and
said tax shall be based on the latest approved tax rolls of the
Issuer, with 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 Bonds 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 Bonds,
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 Bonds, the amount of money required to pay
the interest coming due on the Bonds on January 1, 1994. The
money thus appropriated and deposited shall be used for no
purpose other than to pay said interest on the Bonds. The
appropriate officials of the Issuer are hereby authorized and
directed do any and all things necessary or convenient to
accomplish said appropriation and deposit.
Section 10. DEFEASANCE OF BONDS. (a) Any Bond and the
interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired, and no
longer outstanding (a "Defeased Bond") within the meaning of
this Ordinance, except to the extent provided in subsection (d)
of this Section, when payment of the principal of such Bond,
plus interest thereon to the due date (whether such due date be
22
by reason of maturity, upon redemption, or otherwise) either
(i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance
with the terms thereof (including the giving of any required
notice of redemption), or (ii) shall have been provided for on
or before such due date by irrevocably depositing 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 reinvestment, of suffi-
cient 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 Bonds shall have become due and payable. At such time
as a Bond shall be deemed to be a Defeased Bond hereunder, as
aforesaid, such Bond 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 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 Bonds and interest
thereon, with respect to which such money has been so de-
posited, 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 Bonds shall have become due and
payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services
of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Bonds 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 BONDS. (a) Replacement Bonds. In the event any
outstanding Bond is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or
destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be
23
printed, executed, and delivered, a new bond of the same
principal amount, maturity, and interest rate, as the damaged,
mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond, in replacement for
such Bond in the manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for Replacement Bonds. Application for
replacement of damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed
Bonds shall be made by the registered owner thereof to the
Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft, or
destruction of a Bond, the registered owner applying for a
replacement bond 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 Bond, the registered owner shall furnish to
the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their
satisfaction of the loss, theft, or destruction of such Bond,
as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a
Bond, the registered owner shall surrender to the Paying
Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Bond so damaged or muti-
lated.
(c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section, in the event of any such Bond shall
have matured, and no default has occurred which is then con-
tinuing in the payment of the principal of, redemption premium,
if any, or interest on the Bond, the Issuer may authorize the
payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the
case of a damaged or mutilated Bond) instead of issuing a
replacement Bond, provided security or indemnity is furnished
as above provided in this Section.
(d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Bonds. Prior to the
issuance of any replacement bond, the Paying Agent/Registrar
shall charge the registered owner of such Bond with all legal,
printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every
replacement bond issued pursuant to the provisions of this
Section by virtue of the fact that any Bond is lost, stolen, or
destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the
Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond shall
be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and
proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued under
this Ordinance.
(e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Bonds. In accor-
dance with Section 6 of Vernon's Ann. Tex. Civ. St. Art.
717k-61 this Section of this Ordinance shall constitute author-
ity for the issuance of any such replacement bond without
necessity of further action by the governing body of the Issuer
24
or any other body or person, and the duty of the replacement of
such bonds is hereby authorized and imposed upon the Paying
Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authen-
ticate and deliver such Bonds in the form and manner and with
the effect, as provided in Section 6(d) of this Ordinance for
Bonds issued in conversion and exchange for other Bonds.
Section 12. 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 Bonds as obligations described in section
103 of the Code, the interest on which is not includable 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 Bonds (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 are
so used, that 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 Bonds, 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 Bonds
(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;
(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 Bonds (less amounts depos-
ited into a reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirect-
ly 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 Bonds being treated as "private
activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of
the Code;
25
(e) to refrain from taking any action that would
result in the Bonds 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 Bonds, 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 Bonds, other than investment
property acquired with
(1) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a
reasonable temporary period of 3 years or less until
such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which
the Bonds 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 Bonds;
(g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of
the Bonds or amounts treated as proceeds of the Bonds, as
may be necessary, so that the Bonds 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 (relating to advance
refundings) ;
(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 Bonds) 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 Bonds
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

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 Bonds,
the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant
contained herein to the extent that such modification or
expansion, in the opinion of nationally-recognized bond coun-
sel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal
income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of
the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereaf-
ter promulgated which impose additional requirements which are
applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer agrees to comply with the
additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion
of nationally-recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemp-
tion from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds
under section 103 of the Code.
Section 13. CUSTODY, APPROVAL, AND REGISTRATION OF BONDS;
BOND COUNSEL'S OPINION, CUSIP NUMBERS, PREAMBLE AND INSURANCE.
The Mayor of the Issuer is hereby authorized to have control of
the Initial Bond issued hereunder and all necessary records and
proceedings pertaining to the Initial Bond pending its delivery
and its investigation, examination, and approval by the Attor-
ney General of the State of Texas, and its registration by the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas. Upon
registration of the Initial Bond 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 Bond, and the seal of said Comptrol-
ler shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile, on the Initial
Bond. 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 Bond or on any Bonds issued
and delivered in conversion of and exchange or replacement of
any Bond, but neither shall have any legal effect, and shall be
solely for the convenience and information of the registered
owners of the Bonds. The preamble to this ordinance is hereby
adopted and made a part hereof for all purposes. If insurance
is obtained on any of the Bonds, the Initial Bond and all other
Bonds shall bear an appropriate legend concerning insurance as
provided by the insurer.
Section 14. SALE OF INITIAL BOND. The Initial Bond is
hereby sold and shall be delivered to Prudential-Securities
Incorporated, 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, determined, and
declared that the Initial Bond has been sold at public sale
27
to the bidder offering the lowest interest cost, after receiv-
ing sealed bids pursuant to an Official Notice of Sale and
Bidding Instructions and Official Statement dated March 2,
1993, prepared and distributed in connection with the sale of
the Initial Bond. Said Official Notice of Sale and Bidding In-
structions 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 Bonds is
hereby approved. It is further 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 respects, to the best knowledge and
belief of the City Council.
Section 15. INTEREST EARNINGS ON BOND PROCEEDS. Interest
earnings derived from the investment of proceeds from the sale
of the Initial Bond shall be used along with other bond pro-
ceeds for the acquisition and construction of the improvements
for which the Bonds are issued; provided that after completion
of such improvements, if any of such interest earnings remain
on hand, such interest earnings shall be deposited in the
Interest and Sinking Fund. It is further provided, however,
that any interest earnings on bond proceeds which are required
to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to
Section 12 hereof in order to prevent the Bonds from being
arbitrage bonds shall be so rebated and not considered as
interest earnings for the purposes of this Section.
Section 16. DTC REGISTRATION. The Bonds initially shall
be issued and delivered in such manner that no physical distri-
bution of the Bonds will be made to the public, and the Deposi-
tory Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, initially will
act as depository for the Bonds. DTC has represented that it
is a limited purpose trust company incorporated 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 "clearing agency" regis-
tered under Section 17A of the federal Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and the Issuer accepts, but in no way
verifies, such representations. The Initial Bond 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 Bond and deliver in exchange
therefor a substitute Bond for each maturity of such Initial
Bond, with each such substitute Bond 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 Bonds on behalf of the
28
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 Bond is
registered in the name of CEDE & CO., the Paying Agent/Regis-
trar 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 beneficial ownership of the Bonds by DTC Participants
in integral amounts of $5,000, with transfers of ownership
being effected on the records of DTC and the DTC Participants
pursuant to rules and regulations established by them, and that
the substitute Bonds initially deposited with DTC shall be
immobilized and not be further exchanged for substitute Bonds
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 Participants, or
protecting any interests or rights of the beneficial owners of
the Bonds. 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 Bonds,
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 Bonds to be
registered in the name of any owner. If the Issuer exercises
its right and option to terminate 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 Bond
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 Bonds is duly filed with the Paying Agent/Registrar
with proper request for transfer and substitution, as provided
for in this Ordinance, substitute Bonds will be duly delivered
as provided in this Ordinance, and there will be no assurance
or representation that any book-entry system will be maintained
for such Bonds.
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
29
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 Bond Ordinance, the Bonds,
the sale of the Bonds, and the Notice of Sale and Official
Statement; and the Director of Finance of the City shall cause
the expenses of issuance of the Bonds to be paid from the
proceeds of sale of the Initial Bond. In case any officer
whose signature shall appear on any Bond shall cease to be such
officer before the delivery of such Bond, such signature shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same
as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery.
