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.

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 It is hereby certified that this Bond has been issued under the provisions of the Bond Ordinance described in this Bond; and that this Bond has been issued in conversion of and exchange for or replacement of a bond, bonds, or a portion of a bond or bonds of an issue which originally was approved by the Attorney General of the State of Texas and registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas.

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 (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 Bonds. 26 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.
