Section 8. 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 official depository bank of the Issuer. A Mandatory Redemption Account is
hereby established within the Interest and Sinking Fund. The Interest and Sinking Fund shall be kept separate

principal of the Bonds. All ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of the Bonds, together
with any premium and accrued interest received upon sale ofthe Bonds, shall be deposited, as collected, to the

and 2027 as set forth in the Form of Initial Bond and the Form of Substitute Bond contained herein, which

constituting payment at maturity. 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 or is scheduled for redemption, are hereby pledged for such
payment, within the limit prescribed by law.

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 9, when payment of the principal of such Bond, plus
interest thereon to the due date (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, upon redemption, or
otherwise) either (1) 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

reinvestment, 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 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/Registrar may at the written direction of the
Issuer also be invested 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
deposited, shall be turned over to the Issuer, or deposited as directed in writing by the Issuer.

obligations of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the
United States of America.; (ii) noncallable obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of
America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or intstrumentality

AAA or its equivalent.

stolen, or destroyed Bonds shall be made by the registered owner thereof to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In

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 famished as above provided in this Section.

other Bonds duly issued under this Ordinance.

as obligations described in section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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:
20
l
(a) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds
or the projects 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 projects 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 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 five percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the projects financed
therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of five percent
is used for a "private business use" which is "related" and not "disproportionate", 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 five percent of the proceeds of the Bonds (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 Bonds 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 Bonds being "federally
guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
(f) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds 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, or in the case of a refunding bonds, for a period of 90 days 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 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(3) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund
to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the stated principal amount (or, in the
case of a discount, the issue price) 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), section 149(8) of the Code (relating
to hedge bonds), and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance
refundings); and
21
(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.
For purposes of the foregoing (a) and (b), the Issuer understands that the term "proceeds" includes
"disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred
proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds expended prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds. 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 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 Bonds under section 103 of the
Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which impose additional requirements
which are applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent
necessary and reasonably possible, in the opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel, to preserve the
exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance
of such intention, the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor 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 Bonds. The Issuer covenants
to comply with the covenants in this section after defeasance of the Bonds.
In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (h), a "Rebate Fund" is hereby established
by the Issuer for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such fund shall not be subject to the
claim of any other person, including without limitation, the bondholders. The Rebate Fund is established for
the additional purpose of compliance with section 148 of the Code.
Section 12. ALLOCATION OF, AND LIMITATION ON, EXPENDITURES FOR THE PROJECT.
The Issuer covenants to account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings to be used for
the purposes described in Section 1 of this Ordinance (the "Project") on its books and records in accordance
with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Issuer recognizes that in order for the proceeds to
be considered used for the reimbursement of costs, the proceeds must be allocated to expenditures within 18
months of the later of the date that (1) the expenditure is made, or (2) the Project is completed; but in no event
later than three years after the date on which the original expenditure is paid. The foregoing notwithstanding,
the Issuer recognizes that in order for proceeds to be expended under the Internal Revenue Code, the sale
proceeds or investment earnings must be expended no more than 60 days after the later of (1) the fifth
anniversary of the delivery of the Bonds, or (2) the date the Bonds are retired. The Issuer agrees to obtain the
advice of nationally-recognized bond counsel if such expenditure fails to comply with the foregoing to assure
that such expenditure will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. For purposes hereof, the
Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to comply
will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest.
Section 13. DISPOSITION OF PROJECT. The Issuer covenants that the property constituting the
Project will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the Issuer of cash or
other compensation, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such sale
22
or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. For purposes hereof, the
Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains a legal opinion that such failure to
comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the
interest.
Section 14. 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
Attorney General of the State of Texas, and its registration by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State

in writing to act for said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate on the
Initial Bond, and the seal of said Comptroller 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.

Council of the City at this meeting. The City Council hereby finds that the terms of the Purchase Contract are
the most advantageous terms for the City that are reasonably available. The Mayor of the Issuer is authorized
and directed to execute, on behalf of the Issuer, said Purchase Contract in the form and substance submitted
at this meeting.
(b) An Official Statement dated as of the date ofthis meeting has been prepared in connection with
the sale of the Initial Bond and the Bonds, in the form and substance submitted at this meeting. Said Official
Statement and any supplement or addenda thereto have been and are hereby approved, and their use in the offer

statements and representations contained in said Official Statement are true and correct in all material respects,
to the best knowledge and belief of the Issuer. The distribution and use of the Preliminary Official Statement
dated July 6, 2007, prior to the date hereof is hereby ratified and approved.
(c) The Issuer approves the insurance of the Bonds by MBIA Insurance Corporation and the
payment of the premium on the Insurance Policy, and agrees to comply with the terms of the "Provisions
Relating to Bond Insurance" attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein.
Section 16. INTEREST EARNINGS ON BOND PROCEEDS; USE OF ACCRUED INTEREST
AND PREMIUM RECEIVED FROM SALE OF BONDS. (a) Interest Earnings. Interest earnings derived
from the investment of proceeds from the sale of the Initial Bond shall be used along with other bond proceeds
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 11 hereof
23
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.
(b) Use of Accrued Interest and Premium. The accrued interest received from the sale of the Bonds
in the amount of $74,227.50 shall be deposited to the Interest and Sinking Fund. The net premium received
from the sale of the Bonds in the amount of $358,882.50 shall be applied as follows: the sum of $94,455.00
shall be applied to pay the underwriters' discount; the sum of $119,427.50 shall be applied to pay costs of
issuance; and the sum of $145,000.00 shall be applied against voted authorization and deposited into the
construction account referenced in the following sentence and used for the purposes approved by the voters at
the election. The remainder of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds in the amount of $15,925,000 shall be
deposited to a construction account and used for the purposes approved by the voters at the election.
Section 17. DTC REGISTRATION. The Bonds initially shall be issued and delivered in such manner
that no physical distribution of the Bonds will be made to the public, and The Depository 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" registered 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 Purchaser and/or The DTC Participants, as defined
and described in the Official Statement referred to and approved in Section 15 hereof (the "DTC Participants").
So long as each Bond 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 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
24
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.

"obligated person" with respect to the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule, except that the Issuer in any event
will give the notice required by Subsection (b) hereof of any Bond calls and defeasance that cause the Issuer
to no longer be such an "obligated person".
(ii) The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the registered owners and beneficial
owners of the Bonds, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder to any other person. The Issuer undertakes to provide only the
financial information, operating data, financial statements, and notices which it has expressly agreed to provide
pursuant to this Section and does not hereby undertake to provide any other information that may be relevant
or material to a complete presentation of the Issuer's financial results, condition, or prospects or hereby
undertake to update any information provided in accordance with this Section or otherwise, except as expressly
provided herein. The Issuer does not make any representation or warranty concerning such information or its
usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Bonds at any future date.

EMPLOYEES, BE LIABLE TO THE REGISTERED OWNER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY
BOND OR ANY OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN
WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE ISSUER, WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR
WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, BUT EVERY

OF ANY SUCH BREACH SHALL BE LI IITED TO AN ACTION FOR MANDAMUS OR SPECIFIC

(v) The provisions of this Section may be amended by the Issuer from time to time to adapt to changed
circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements, a change in law, or a change in the identity,
nature, status, or type of operations of the Issuer, but only if (1) the provisions of this Section, as so amended,
would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds in
compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule since such
offering as well as such changed circumstances and (2) either (a) the registered owners of a majority in
aggregate principal amount (or any greater amount required by any other provision of this Ordinance that
authorizes such an amendment) of the outstanding Bonds consent to such amendment or (b) a person that is
unaffiliated with the Issuer (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determined that such amendment will
not materially impair the interest of the registered owners and beneficial owners of the Bonds. If the Issuer so
amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include with any amended financial information or operating data
26
next provided in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section an explanation, in narrative form, of the reason
for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of financial information or operating data so

SEC amends or repeals the applicable provision of the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that
