C. Thê Initial Certificate shall be numbered "T 1." Section 5. INTEREST AND SINKING FU1VD; SURPLUS REVENUES. (a) A special Interest and Sinking Fund (the "Interest and Sinking Fund") is hereby created solely for the benefit of the Certificates, and the Interest and Sinking Fund shall be established and maintained by the Issuer at an official depository bank of the Issuer. The Interest and Sinking Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of the Issuer, and shall be used only for paying the interest on and principal of the Certificates. All ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of the Certificates, together with any accrued interest received upon sale of the Certificates, shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year while any of the Certificates or interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid, the governing body of the Issuer shall compute and ascertain a rate and amount of ad valorem tax which will be sufficient to raise and produce the money required to pay the interest on the Certificates as such interest becomes due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of its Certificates as such principal matures or is scheduled for redemption (but never less than 2% 12 of the original principal amount of the Certificates as a sinking fund each year). Said tax shall be based on the latest approval 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 Certificates or interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid; and said tax shall be assessed and collected each such year and deposited to the credit of the aforesaid Interest and Sinking Fund. Said ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of the Certificates, as such interest comes due and such principal matures or is scheduled for redemption, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law. (b) The Certificates are additionally secured by revenues derived by the Issuer from the ownership and operation of the Issuer's Utility System (consisting of its combined waterworks system, sanitary sewer system, and electric light and power system) that remain after the payment of all maintenance and operation expenses thereof, and all debt service; i-eserve and other requirements in connection with all of the Issuer's revenue obligations (now or hereafter outstanding) or contractual obligations (now or hereafter existing) which are payable from all or any part of the net revenues ofthe Issuer's Utility System, constituting "Surplus Revenues", not to exceed $1,000. The Issuer shall deposit such Surplus Revenues to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund created pursuant to this Section, to the extent necessary to pay the principal and interest on the Certificates. Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section, if Surplus Revenues or other lawfully available moneys of the Issuer are actually on deposit or budgeted and appropriated to be deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund in advance of the time when ad valorem taxes are scheduled to be levied for any year, then the amount of taxes that otherwise would have been required to be levied pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section may be reduced to the extent and by the amount of the Surplus Revenues or other lawfully available funds then on deposit or budgeted and appropriated to be deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund. If Surplus Revenues are budgeted and appropriated for deposit into the Interest and Sinking Fund, the Issuer: (i) shall transfer and deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund each month an amount of not less than 1/ 12th of the annual debt service on the Certificates to be paid from Surplus Revenues until the amount on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund equals the amount required for annual debt service on the Certificates; (ii) shall establish, adopt and maintain an annual budget that provides for either the monthly deposit of sufficient Surplus Revenues and/or tax revenues, the monthly deposit of any other legally available funds on hand at the time of the adoption of the annual budget, or a combination thereof, into the Interest and Sinking Fund for the repayment of the Certificates; and (iii) shall at all times maintain and collect sufficient Utility System rates and charges in conjunction with any other legally available funds that, after payment of the costs of operating and maintaining the Utility System, produce revenues in an amount not less than the debt service requirements of all outstanding Utility System revenue bonds of the Issuer and other obligations of the Issuer which are secured in whole or in part by a pledge of revenues of the Utility System and for which the Issuer is budgeting the repayment of such obligations from the revenues of the Utility System, or the Issuer shall provide documentation which evidences the levy of an ad valorem tax rate dedicated to the Interest and Sinkirig Fund, in conjunction with any other legally available funds except Utility System rates and charges, sufficient for the repayment of Utility System debt service requirements. (c) Chapter 1208, Texas Government Code, ápplies to the issuance of the Certificates and the pledge of the taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the Issuer under this Section and Section 9, respectively, and is therefore valid, effective, and perfected. Should Texas law be amended at any time while the Certificates 13 are outstanding and unpaid, the result of such amendment being that the pledge of the taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the Issuer under this Section is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code, in order to preserve to the Registered Owners of the Certificates a security interest in said pledge, the Issuer agrees to take such measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing of a security interest in said pledge to occur.

(d) Until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Certificates 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. (e) In the event that the Issuer elects to defease less than all of the principal amount of Certificates of a maturity, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall select, or cause to be selected, such amount of Certificates by such random method as it deems fair and appropriate.

The undersigned is the Mayor of the City of Denton, Texas (the "Issuer"). 1.2. This Certificate is executed for the purpose of establishing the reasonable expectations of the Issuer as to future events regarding the Issuer's General Obligation Bonds, Series 2010 and Certificates of Obligation, Series 2010 (collectively, the "Obligations"). The Obligations are being issued pursuant to rivo ordinances of the Issuer (the "Ordinances") adopted on the date of sale of the Obligations. The Ordinances are incorporated herein by reference. 1.3. To the best of the undersigned's knowledge, information and belief, the expectations contained in this Federal Tax Certificate are reasonable. 1.4. The undersigned is an officer of the Issuer delegated with the responsibility of issuing and delivering the Obligations. 1.5. The undersigned is not aware of any facts or circumstances that-,vould cause him to question the accuracy of the representations made by the Undeiv riters in the Undeiv niter Certificates and the Schedules prepared by First Southwest Company (the "Financial Advisor") attached hereto as Exhibit "D." The Purpose of the Obligations and Useful Lives of Projects. 2.1. The Obligations are being issued pursuant to the Ordinances (a) to provide for the payment of costs of issuing the Obligations and (b) to make street improvements and for park land acquisitions and improvements, to acquire, construct, install and equip additions, extensions, renovations and improvements to the Issuer's waterworks and sewer system, electric light and poNver system, solid Nvaste disposal system and to provide for the renovations to, and equipping of, existing municipal buildings and the acquisition of vehicles and equipment for the Issuer's motor pool (the "Projects"). 2.2. The Issuer expects that the aggregate useful lives of the Projects exceed 22 years from the later of the date the Projects are placed in service or the date on which the Obligations are issued. 2.3. All earnings, such as interest and dividends, received from the investment of the proceeds of the Obligations during the period of acquisition and construction of the Projects and not used to pay interest on the Obligations, will be used to pay the costs of the Projects, unless required to be rebated and paid to the United States in accordance Nvith section 148(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). The proceeds of the Obligations, together Nvith any investment earnings thereon, are expected not to exceed the amount necessary for the governmental purpose ofthe Obligations. The Issuer expects that no disposition proceeds will arise in connection Nvith the Projects or the Obligations. Expenditure of Bond Proceeds and Use of Projects. 3.1. The Issuer will incur, Nvithin six months after the date of issue of the Obligations, a binding obligation to commence the Projects, either by entering into contracts for the construction of the Projects or by entering into contracts for architectural or engineering services for such Projects, or contracts for the development, purchase of construction materials, or purchase of equipment, for the Projects, Nvith the amount to be paid under such contracts to be in excess of five percent of the proceeds which are estimated to be used for the cost of the Projects. 3.2. After entering into binding obligations, Nvork on such Projects will proceed promptly with due diligence to completion. 3.3. All original proceeds derived from the sale of the Obligations to be applied to the Projects and all investment earnings thereon (other than any amounts required to be rebated to the United States pursuant to section 148(f) of the Code) will be expended for the Projects no later than a date which is three years after the date of issue of the Obligations. 3.4. The Orderprovides thatallocations of proceeds to expenditures forthe Projects are expected not to be later than 18 months after the later of the date of the expenditure or the date that the Projects are placed in service, but, in any event, not longer than 60 days after the earlier of five years of the date hereof or the date the Obligations are retired. 3.5. Only Projects costs paid or incurred by the Issuer within 60 days prior to the date the Issuer approved the funding ofthe Projects (the "60-day period") through its declaration of official intent ("Qualified Costs") will be paid or reimbursed with Bond proceeds. For this purpose Qualified Costs also include preliminaiv expenditures, incurred prior to the 60-day period before the approval of the Issuer through its declaration of official intent, up to an amount not in excess of 20 percent of the aggregate amount of the Obligations. No Qualified Cost represents the cost of property or land acquired from a related party. 3.6. The Issuer will not invest the proceeds prior to such expenditure in any guaranteed investment contract or other non-purpose investment with a substantially guaranteed yield for a period equal to or greater than four years. 3.7. Other than members of the general publi c, the Issuer expects that throughout the lesser of the term of the Obligations, or the useful lives of the Projects, the only user of the Projects will be the Issuer or the Issuer's employees and agents. The Issuer will be the manager of the Projects. In no event will the proceeds of the Obligations or facilities financed therewith be used for private business use in an amount greater than $15 million. The Issuer does not expect to enter into long-term sales of output from the Projects, except on the basis of generally-applicable and uniformly applied rates. The Issuer may apply different rates for different classes of customers, including volume purchasers, which are reasonable and customary-. 3.8. Except as stated below, the Issuer expects not to sell or otheitivise dispose of property constituting the Projects prior to the earlier of the end of such property's useful life or the final maturity of the Obligations. The Ordinances provide that the Issuer will not sell or othei-vvise dispose of the Projects unless the Issuer receives an opinion ofnationally-recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Obligations. 3.9. For purposes of Subsection 3.8 hereof, the Issuer has not included the portion of the Projects comprised of personal property that is disposed in the ordinaiv course at a price that is expected to be less than 25 percent of the original purchase price. The Issuer, upon any disposition of such property, will transfer the receipts from the disposition of such property to the general operating fund and expend such receipts within six months for other governmental programs. 4. Interest and Sinkin4 Funds. 4.1. Separate and special Interest and Sinking Funds have been created and established, other than as described herein, solely to pay the principal of and interest on the Obligations (the "Bona Fide Debt Service Portion"). The Bona Fide Debt Service Portion constitutes a fund that is used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues and debt service within each bond year. Such portion will be completely depleted at least once each year except for an amount not in excess of the greater of (a) one-twelfth of the debt service on the Obligations for the previous year, or (b) the previous year's earnings on such portion of the Interest and Sinking Funds. Amounts deposited in the Interest and Sinking Funds constituting the Bona Fide Debt Service Portion will be spent within a thirteen-month period beginning on the date of deposit, and any amount received from the investment of money held in the Interest and Sinking Funds will be spent within a one-year period beginning on the date of receipt. 4.2. Any money deposited in the Interest and Sinking Funds and any amounts received from the investment thereof that accumulate and remain on hand therein after thirteen months from the date of deposit of any such money or one year after the receipt of any such amounts from the investment thereof shall constitute a separate portion of the Interest and Sinking Funds. The yield on any investments allocable to the portion of the Interest and Sinking Funds exceeding the sum of (a) the Bona Fide Debt Service Portion and (b) an amount equal to the lesser of five percent of the sale and investment proceeds of the Obligations or $100,000 will be restricted to a yield that does not exceed the yield on the Obligations. Yield. Other than any qualified guarantee referred to in the Certificates of Undeiv niter, the Issuer has not entered into any qualified guarantee or qualified hedge Nvith respect to the Obligations. The yield on the Obligations will not be affected by subsequent unexpected events, except to the extent provided in section 1.148-4(h)(3) of the Treasuiv Regulations when and if the Issuer enters into a qualified hedge or into any transaction transferring, waiving or modifying any right that is part of the terms of any Bond. The Issuer will consult Nvith nationally recognized bond counsel prior to entering into any of the foregoing transactions. 6. Invested Sinking Fund Proceeds, Replacement Proceeds. 6.1. The Issuer has, in addition to the moneys received from the sale of the Obligations, certain other moneys that are invested in various funds which are pledged for various purposes. These other funds are not available to accomplish the purposes described in Section 2 of this Certificate. 6.2. Other than the Interest and Sinking Funds, there are, and will be, no other funds or accounts established, or to be established, by or on behalf of the Issuer (a) which are reasonably expected to be used, or to generate earnings to be used, to pay debt service on the Obligations, or (b) which are reserved or pledged as collateral for payment of debt service on the Obligations and for which there is reasonable assurance that amounts therein will be available to pay such debt service if the Issuer encounters financial difficulties. Accordingly, there are no other amounts constituting "gross proceeds" ofthe Obligations, Nvithin the meaning of section 148 of the Code. 7. Other Obligations. There are no other obligations of the Issuer that (a) are sold at substantially the same time as the Obligations, i.e., within 15 days of the date of sale of the Obligations, (b) are sold pursuant to a common plan of financing Nvith the Obligations, and (c) will be payable from the same source of funds as the Obligations. Federal Tax Audit Responsibilities. The Issuer acknowledges that in the event of an examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") to determine compliance of the Obligations with the provisions of the Code as they relate to tax-- exempt obligations, the Issuer will respond, and will direct its agents and assigns to respond, in a commercially reasonable manner to any inquiries from the Service in connection with such an examination. The Issuer understands and agrees that the examination may be subject to public disclosure under applicable Texas lave. 9. Record Retention. The Issuer has covenanted in the Ordinances that it will comply with the requirements of the Code relating to the exclusion of the interest on the Obligations under section 103 of the Code. The Service has determined that certain materials, records and information should be retained by the issuers of tax-exempt obligations for the purpose of enabling the Service to confirm the exclusion of the interest on such obligations under section 103 of the Code. ACCORDINGLY, THE ISSUER SHALL TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT ALL MATERIALS, RECORDS AND INFORMATION NECESSARY TO CONFIRM THE EXCLUSION OF THE INTEREST ON THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 103 OF THE CODE ARE RETAINED FOR THE PERIOD BEGINNING ON THE ISSUE DATE OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND ENDING THREE YEARS AFTER THE DATE THE OBLIGATIONS ARE RETIRED. The Issuer acknowledges receipt of the letter attached hereto as Exhibit "B" which, in part, discusses specific guidance by the Service 'kvith respect to the retention of records relating to tax-exempt bond transactions. The Issuer also acknowledges that the letter does not constitute an opinion of Bond Counsel as to the proper record retention policy applicable to any specific transaction. The foregoing requirement mandates issuers of tax-exempt bonds to adopt written procedures to ensure compliance with the federal tax covenants and representations contained in the Bond documents, including the federal tax certificate. Accordingly, the Issuer represents that it has adopted orvvill adopt such procedures to monitor compliance with the limitations on private use and the payment of arbitrage rebate. 10. Rebate to United States. The Issuer has covenanted in the Ordinances that it will comply with the requirements of the Code, including section 148(f) of the Code, relating to the required rebate to the United States. Specifically, the Issuer will take steps to ensure that all earnings on gross proceeds of the Obligations in excess of the yield on the Obligations required to be rebated to the United States will be timely paid to the United States. The Issuer acknowledges receipt of the memorandum attached hereto as Exhibit "A" which discusses regulations promulgated pursuant to section 148(f) of the Code. This memorandum does not constitute an opinion of Bond Counsel as to the proper federal tax or accounting treatment of any specific transaction.

McIinnev Street Denton, Texas 76201 Re: City of Denton, Texas General Obligation Bonds, Series 2010 and Certificates of Obligation, Series 2010 Dear Mr. Langley: ORTON L.L.P. 700 N. ST. MARY'S STREET SUITE 1525 SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 78205-3503 TELEPHONE: (210) 225-2800 FACSIMILE: (210) 225-2984 As you know, the City- of Denton, Texas (the "Issuer") will issue the captioned obligations in order to provide for the acquisition and construction of the projects. As aresult of that issuance, the federal income tax laws impose certain restrictions on the investment and expenditure of amounts to be used for the projects or to be deposited to the interest and sinking funds for the captioned obligations. The purpose of this letter is to set forth, in somewhat less technical language, those provisions of the tax lave which require the timely use of bond proceeds and that investment of these amounts be at a yield which is not higher than the yield on the captioned obligations. For this purpose, please refer to line 21(e) of the Form 8038-G included in the transcript of proceedings for the yield on the captioned obligations. Please note that the Form 8038-G has been prepared based on the information provided by or on your behalf by your financial advisor. Accordingly, while vve believe that the information is correct you may wish to have the vield confirmed before vour rebate consultant or the paying agent attempt to rely on it. Generally, the federal tax laws provide that, unless excepted, amounts to be used for the projects or to be deposited to the interest and sinking funds must be invested in obligations the combined yield on which does not exceed the yield on the obligations. Importantly, for purposes of administrative convenience, the obligations, however, have been structured in such a way as to avoid, for the most part, this restriction on investment yield. They also contain certain covenants relating to expenditures of proceeds designed to alert you to unintentional failures to comply with the laws affecting expenditures of proceeds and dispositions of property. First, the sale and investment proceeds to be used for the new money projects may be invested for up to three years without regard to yield. (Such amounts, however, may be subject to rebate.) Thereafter, they must be invested at or below the bond yield. Importantly, expenditure of these proceeds must be accounted in your books and records. Allocations of these expenditures must occur within 18 months of the later of the date paid or the date the projects are completed. The foregoing notxvithstanding, the allocation should not occur later than 60 days after the earlier of (1) of five years after the delivery date of the obligations or (2) the date the obligations are retired unless you obtain an opinion of bond counsel. Second, the interest and sinking funds are made up of amounts which are received annually for the payment of current debt service on all the Issuer's outstanding obligations. Any taxes or revenues deposited to the interest and sinking funds which are to be used for the payment of current debt service on the captioned obligations, or any other outstanding obligations, are not subject to yield restriction. By definition, current debt service refers only to debt service to be paid within one year of the date of receipt of these amounts. For the most part, this Nvould be debt service in the current fiscal year. These amounts deposited to the account for current debt service may be invested Nvithout regard to any constraint imposed by the federal income tax laws. Third, a portion of the interest and sinking funds is permitted to be invested without regard to yield restriction as a "minor portion." The "minor portion" exception is available for de minimis amounts of taxes or revenues deposited to the interest and sinking funds. The maximum amount that may be invested as part of this account may not exceed the lesser of five percent of the principal amount of the obligations or $100,000. Accordingly, you should review the current balance in the interest and sinking funds in order to determine if such balance exceeds the aggregate amounts discussed above. Additionally, in the future it is important that you be aNvare of these restrictions as additional amounts are deposited to the interest and sinking funds. The amounts in these funds which are subject to yield restriction -,would only be the amounts which are in excess of the sum of (1) the current debt service account and (2) the "minor portion" account. Moreover, to the extent that additional obligations are issued by the Issuer, whether for new money projects or for refunding, these amounts Nvill change in their proportion. The Ordinances contain covenants that require the Issuer to comply with the requirements of the federal tax laws relating to the tax-exempt obligations. The Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") has determined that certain materials, records and information should be retained by the issuers of tax-exempt obligations for the purpose of enabling the Service to confirm the exclusion of the interest on such obligations under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the Issuer should retain such materials, records and information for the period beginning on the issue date of the captioned obligations and ending three years after the date the captioned obligations are retired. Please note this federal tax law standard may vary from state law standards. The material, records and information required to be retained Nvill generally be contained in the transcript of proceedings for the captioned obligations, however, the Issuer should collect and retain additional materials, records and information to ensure the continued compliance Nvith federal tax law requirements. For example, beyond the transcript of proceedings for the obligations, the Issuer should keep schedules evidencing the expenditure of bond proceeds, documents relating to the use of bond-financed property- by governmental and any private parties (e.g., leases and management contracts, if any) and schedules pertaining to the investment of bond proceeds. In the event that you have questions relating to record retention, please contact us. Finally, you should notice that the Ordinances contain a covenant that limits the ability of the Issuer to sell or otheixvise dispose of bond-financed property for compensation. Beginning for obligations issued after May 15, 1997 (including certain refunding obligations), or in cases in which an issuer elects to apply new private activity- bond regulations, such sale or disposition causes the creation of a class of proceeds referred to as "disposition proceeds." Disposition proceeds, like sale proceeds and investment earnings, are tax-restricted funds. Failure to appropriately account, invest or expend such disposition proceeds Nvould adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the obligations. In the event that you anticipate selling property, even in the ordinary- course, please contact us. Obviously, this letter only presents a fundamental discussion of the yield restriction rules as applied to amounts deposited to the interest and sinking funds. Moreover, this letter does not address the rebate consequences with respect to the interest and sinking funds and you should review the memorandum attached to the Federal Tax Certificate as Exhibit "A" for this purpose. If you have certain concerns with respect to the matters discussed in this letter or wish to ask additional questions with regards to certain limitations imposed, please feel free to contact our firm. Thank you for your consideration and vve look foiXvard to our continued relationship. Vein truly yours, MCCALL, PARKHURST & HORTON L.L.P. cc: Mr. Gregor- C. Schaecher Exhibit "C" CERTIFICATE OF ELECTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 148(f)(4)(C) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986 I, the undersigned, being the duly authorized representative of the City of Denton, Texas (the "Issuer") hereby state that the Issuer elects the provisions of section 148(f)(4)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), relating to the exception to arbitrage rebate for temporary investments, as more specifically designated below, with respect to the Issuer's General Obligation Bonds, Series 2010 and Certificates of Obligation, Series 2010 (collectively, the "Obligations") which are being issued on the date of delivery of the Obligations in a face amount equal to $62,200,000. The CUSIP Number for the Obligations is stated on the Form 8038-G filed in connection with the Obligations. The Issuer intends to take action to comply with the two-year temporary investments exception to rebate afforded construction Obligations under section 148(f)(4)(C) of the Code. Capitalized terms have the same meaning as defined in the Federal Tax Certificate. 11 1. PENALTY ELECTION. In the event that the Issuer should fail to expend the "available construction proceeds" of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of section 148(f)(4)(C) of the Code, the Issuer elects, in lieu of rebate, the penalty provisions of section 148(17)(4)(C)(vii)(I) of the Code. 11 2. RESERVE FUND ELECTION. The Issuer elects to exclude from "available construction proceeds, "within the meaning of section 148(f)(4)(C)(vi) of the Code, of the Obligations, earnings on the Reserve Fund in accordance with section 148(f)(4)(C)(vi)(IV) of the Code. 11 3. MULTIPURPOSE ELECTION. The Issuer elects to treat that portion of the Obligations the proceeds of which are to be used for the payment of expenditures for construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation of the Projects, as defined in the instrument authorizing the issuance of the Obligations, in an amount which is currently expected to be equal to $ , as a separate issue in accordance with the provisions of section 148(f)(4)(C)(y)(II) of the Code. (Note: This election is not necessary unless, less than 75 percent of the proceeds of the Obligations will be used for construction, reconstruction or renovation.) 11 4. ACTUAL FACTS. For purposes of determining compliance with section 148(f)(c) of the Code (other than qualification of the Obligations as a qualified construction issue), the Issuer elects to use actual facts rather than reasonable expectations. 11 5. NO ELECTION. The Issuer understands that the elections which are adopted as evidenced by the check in the box adjacent to the applicable provision are irrevocable. Further, the Issuer understands that qualification of the Obligations for eligibility for the exclusion from the rebate requirement set forth in section 148(f) of the Code is based on subsequent events and is unaffected by the Issuer's expectations of such events as of the date of delivery of the Obligations. Aeeordingly, while failure to execute this certificate and to desiynate the intended election does not nreelude aualifieation. it would nreelude the Issuer from the relief afforded by such election.
