(i) The initial Bond shall be in the form set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section, except that:
A. immediately under the name of the Bond, the headings "Interest Rate" and "Maturity
Date" shall both be completed with the words "As shown below" and "CUSIP No. " shall
be deleted.
B. the first paragraph shall be deleted and the following will be inserted:
"THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS, in Denton County, Texas (the "Issuer"), being a political subdivision
and municipal corporation of the State of Texas, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Owner specified
above, or registered assigns (hereinafter called the "Registered Owner"), on February 15 in each of the years,
in the principal installments and bearing interest at the per annum rates set forth in the following schedule:
Years Principal Installments Interest Rates
(Information from Pricing Certificate to be inserted)
The Issuer promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof (calculated on the basis of a 360-
day year of twelve 30-day months) from , at the respective Interest Rate per annum
specified above. Interest is payable on and semiannually on each and
thereafter to the date of payment of the principal installment specified above, or the date of
redemption prior to maturity; except, that if this Bond is required to be authenticated and the date of its
authentication is later than the first Record Date (hereinafter defined), such Principal Amount shall bear
interest from the interest payment date next preceding the date of authentication, unless such date of
authentication is after any Record Date but on or before the next following interest payment date, in which
case such principal amount shall bear interest from such next following interest payment date; provided,
however, that if on the date of authentication hereof the interest on the Bond or Bonds, if any, for-which this
Bond is being exchanged is due but has not been paid, then this Bond shall bear interest from the date to
which such interest has been paid in full."
C. The Initial Bond shall be numbered "T 1."
Section 5. -INTEREST AND SINKING FUND.
(a) 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. The Interest and Sinking Fund sháll 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. A11 ad valorem taxes levied and.collected for and on accōunt of the Bonds, together with any
accrued interest received upon sale 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 or is scheduled for redemption (but never less than 2% of the original principal amount
of the Bonds as a sinking fund each year). Said tax shall be based on the latest approval tax rolls of the
13
~
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. 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 tō be levied pursuant to 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. For purposes of this Section, "Surplus Revenues" means
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, reserve 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
of the Issuer's Utility System. 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 Bonds 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
Bonds;
(ii) shall establish, adopt and maintain an annual budget that provides for either the monthly deposit
of suff-icient 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 Bonds; 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.
(b) Chapter 1208, Texas Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Bonds and the pledge of the
taxes 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 Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, the
result of such amendment being that the pledge of the taxes 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 Bonds a security interest in said pledge, the Issuer agrees to take such measures
as it determines are rêasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable provisions of
14
Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing of a security interest in said pledge to
occur.
Section 6. DEFEASANCE OF BONDS.

such due date be by reason of maturity or otherwise) either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made
in accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such due date by
irrevocably depositing with or making available to the Paying Agent/Registrar in accordance with an escrow
agreement or other instrument (the "Future Escrow Agreement") for such payment (1) lawful money of the
United States of America sufficient to make such payment or (2) Government Obligations that mature as to
principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability, without 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. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, it is hereby provided that any determination not to redeem
Defeased Bonds that is made in conjunction with the payment arrangements specified in Subsection (a)(i)
or (ii) of this Section shall not be irrevocable, provided that: (1) in the proceedings providing for such
payment arrangements, the Issuer expressly reserves the right to call the Defeased Bonds for redemption; (2)
gives notice of the reservation of that right to the Registered Owners of the Defeased Bonds immediately
following the making of the payment arrangements; and (3) directs that notice of the reservation be included
in any redemption notices that it authorizes.
(b) Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar may at the written direction of the
Issuer 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 that 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. Any Future
Escrow Agreement pursuant to which the money and/or Government Obligations are held for the payment
of Defeased Bonds may contain provisions permitting the investment or reinvestment of such moneys in
Government Obligations or the substitution of other Government Obligations upon the satisfaction of the
requirements specified in Subsection (a)(i) or (ii) of this Section. All income from such Government
Obligations received by the Paying Agent/Registrar which is not required for the payment of the Defeased
Bonds, with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be remitted to the Issuer or deposited
as directed in writing by the Issuer.
(c) The term "Government Obligations" means (i) direct, noncallable 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 -instrumental ity of the United States of America, including obligations
that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that, on the date the
governing body of the Issuer adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the financial arrangements, are
rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its
equivalent, and (iii) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a county, municipality, or other
political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that, on the date the governing body of the Issuer
15
adopts or approves the proceedings authorizing the financial arrangements, are rated as to investment quality
by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent.
(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.
(e) In the event that the Issuer elects to defease less than all of the principal amount of Bonds of a
maturity, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall select, or cause to be selected, such amount of Bonds by such
random method as it deems fair and appropriate.
Section 7. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED 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 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 AgentlRegistrar.
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 to 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 mutilated.
(c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Ordinance, in the event
any such Bond shall have matured, and no default has occurred that is then continuing in the payment of the
principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bond, the Issuer may authorizê 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.

Agent/Registrar shall charge the Registered Owner of such Bond with all legal, printing, and other expenses

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 accordance with Sec. 1206.022, Government Code,

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:
(1) 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 or the projects financed or
refinanced therewith (the "Projects") 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;
(2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described in
subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the proj ects financed therewith
(less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of 5 percent is used for
a"private business use" that is "related" and not "disproportionate," within the meaning of section
141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use;
17
(3) to take any action to assure that no amount that is greater than the lesser of $5,000,000, or
5 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;
(4) to refrain from taking any action that would otherwise result in the Bonds being treated as
"private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code;
(5) 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;
(6) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, directly or indirectly, to
acquire or to replace funds that were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire investment property (as
defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) thaf produces a materially higher yield over.the term of the
Bonds, other than investment property acquired with -
(A) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3 years or less
or, in the case of a refunding bond, for a period of 30 days or less until such proceeds axe needed
for the purpose for which the bonds are issued,
(B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of section
1.148-1(b) of the rules and regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury
("Treasury Regulations"), and
(C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund to the
extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds;
(7) 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); and
(8) 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 than 60 days after the Bonds have been paíd 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.
(b) Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (a)(8), a"Rebate Fund"
is hereby established by the Issuer for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such Rebate 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.
(c) Use of Proceeds. For purposes of the foregoing covenants (a)(1) and (a)(2), 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 United
States Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter
18
promulgated that 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 that impose additional requirements 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 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 or Pricing
Officer to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to make such elections,
on behalf of the Issuer, that may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance
of the Bonds.
(d) Disposition of Projects. The Issuer covenants that the Projects 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 or other disposition will not
adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. For purposes of the foregoing, the portion of the
property comprising personal property and disposed in the ordinary course shall not be treated as a
transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. 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 proposes from gross income of the interest.

pursuant to the terms and provisions of a bond purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), the terms

(d) Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments.
(i) The Issuer shall be obligated to observe and perform the covenants specified in this Section
for so long as, but only for so long as, the Issuer remains an "obligated person" with respect to the
Bonds within the meaning of the Rule, except that the Issuer in any event will give notice of any
deposit made in accordance with this Ordinance or applicable law that causes the Bonds no longer to
be outstanding.
(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

IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY

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
21
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

the Registered Owners and beneficial owners of the Bonds. The Issuer may also amend or repeal the
provisions of this continuing disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable
provision of the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that such provisions of the Rule

information or operating data next provided in accordance with subsection (b) 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 provided.

reflect the requirements of the Rule if the Rule is amended after the adoption of this Ordinance but prior to

of the Bonds in compliance with the Rule. Any such revisions shall be set forth in the Pricing Certificate
and are incorporated by reference into this Ordinance and made a part hereof for all purposes,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary.

regard to matters or questions arising under this Ordinance as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions
of this Ordinánce and that shall not in the opinion of the Issuer's Bond Counsel materially adversely affect
the interests of the holders.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (a) above, the holders of Bonds aggregating in principal amount
a majority of the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Bonds that are the subject of a proposed
amendment shall have the right from time to time to approve any amendment hereto that may be deemed
necessary or desirable by the Issuer; provided, however, that without the consent of 100% of the holders in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Bonds, nothing herein contained shall permit or be

send by U.S. mail to each Registered Owner of the affected Bonds a copy of the proposed amendment and
cause notice of the proposed amendment to be published at least once in a financial publication published
in The City of New York, New York or in the State of Texas. Such published notice shall briefly set forth
the nature of the proposed amendment and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at the office of the Issuer

receive an instrument or instruments executed by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of all of the Bonds then outstanding that are required for the amendment, which instrument or
instruments shall refer to the proposed amendment and that shall specifically consent to and approve such
amendment, the Issuer may adopt the amendment in substantially the same form.
(e) Upon the adoption of any amendatory Ordinance pursuant to the provisions of this Section, this
Ordinance shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance with such amendatory Ordinance, and
the respective rights, duties, and obligations of the Issuer and all holders of such affected Bonds shall
thereafter be determined, exercised, and enforced, subject in all respects to such amendment.

irrevocable for a period of six months from the date of the publication of the notice provided for in this

Such consent may be revoked at any time after six months from the date of the publication of said notice by
the holder who gave such consent, or by a successor in title, by filing notice with the Issuer, but such
revocation shall not be effective if the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the affected
Bonds then outstanding, have, prior to the attempted revocation, consented to and approved the amendment.

registration of the ownership of such Bonds on the registration books kept by the Paying AgentlRegistrar.
