The Interest and 17 Sinldng 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, together with any premium received from the 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 (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.

The money thus appropriated and deposited shall be used for no purpose other than to pay said principal and 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 9. 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 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 AgentJRegistrar 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 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. (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 10. 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 Agent/Registrar.

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 Section, in the event of any such Bond shall have matured, and no default has occurred which is then continuing 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 fumished 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 accordance with Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code, this Section 10 of this Ordinance shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such replacement bond without necessity of further action by the governing body of the Issuer 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 authenticate 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 convemion and exchange for other Bonds. Section 11. 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 "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 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; (d) to refrain from taking any action which would othenvise result in the Bonds being txeated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141(I)) 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('o)(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 30 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 1.148-1Co) of the Treasury Regulations, and 20 (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 ora 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) 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(0 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 than required to be paid as a result of Excess Eamings under section 148(t) of the Code; and The Issuer understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds" as def'med 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 modification or expansion, 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, in the opinion of nationally-recoguized 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. 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. DISPOSITION OF PROJECT. The Issuer covenants that the property constituting the Project originally financed by the Outstanding Obligations 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 an opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest. 21 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 Attorney 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 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. Section 14. 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 "cleating 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 RBC Dain Rauscher Inc., as Underwriter (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 AgenffRegistrar to take such action. It is expected that DTC will hold the Bonds on behalf of the Purchaser and/or the Direct Participants, as defined and described in the Official Statement referred to and approved in Section 16 hereof (the "DTC Participants"). So long as each Bond is registered in the name of CEDE & CO., the Paying AgenffRegistrar 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 roles 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 Partici- pants 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 22 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 AgenffRegistrar 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 AgenffRegistrar 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.

REFORMATION OF PRIOR ORDINANCES. Due to clerical errors, the redemption provisions of the ordinances authorizing the Series 1995 Certificates of Obligation, the Series 2000 Bonds and the Series 2000 Certificates of Obligation (the "Prior Obligations") are inconsistent with the redemption provisions shown in the Official Statements relating to such Prior Obligations. Because the Prior Obligations were sold to investors pursuant to competitive bids at prices calculated and set based on the redemption provisions contained in such Official Statements, and such redemption provisions continue to be reflected in the information shown for such Prior Obligations by Bloomberg LP and other market information services, the ordinances for the Prior Obligations are hereby reformed as follows: (a) the ordinance adopted on May 7, 1995 relating to the Series 1995 Certificates of Obligation is reformed by adding to the Form of Substitute Certificate the following paragraph: "ON FEBRUARY 15, 2005, or on any date whatsoever thereafter, the Certificates of this Series may be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, at the option of the Issuer, with funds derived fi.om any available and lawful source, as a whole, or in part, and, if in part, the particular Certificates, or portions thereof, to be redeemed shall be selected and designated by the Issuer (provided that a portion of a Certificate may be redeemed only in an integral multiple of $5,000), at the redemption price of the par or principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption". (b) the ordinance adopted on May 2, 2000 relating to the Series 2000 Bonds is reformed by substituting the following paragraph in the Form of Substitute Bond: "ON FEBRUARY 15, 2009, or on any date whatsoever thereafter, the Bonds of this Series may be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, at the option of the Issuer, with funds derived from any available and lawful source, as a whole, or in part, and, if in part, the particular Bonds, or portions thereof, to be redeemed shall be selected and designated by the Issuer (provided that a portion of a Bond may be redeemed only in an integral multiple of $5,000), at the redemption price of the par or principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption". (c) the ordinance adopted on May 2, 2000 relating to the Series 2000 Certificates of Obligation is reformed by substituting the following paragraph in the Form of Substitute Certificate: "ON FEBRUARY 15, 2009, or on any date whatsoever thereafter, the Certificates of this Series may be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, at the option of the Issuer, with funds derived from any available and lawful source, as a whole, or in part, and, if in part, the particular Certificates, or portions thereof, to be redeemed shall be selected and designated by the Issuer (provided that a portion of a Certificate may be redeemed only in an integral multiple of $5,000), at the redemption price of the par or principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption". Such reformation corrects the clerical errors in such ordinances and reflects the correct redemption provisions for the Prior Obligations as purchased by the holders of the Prior Obligations. 27 Section 23. FURTHER PROCEDURES. The Mayor of the Issuer, the City Secretary of the Issuer, and all other officers, employees, and agents of the Issuer, and each of them, shall be and they are hereby expressly authorized, empowered, and directed from time to time and at any time to do and perform all such acts and things and to execute, acknowledge, and deliver in the name and under the corporate seal and on behalf of the Issuer all such instruments, whether or not herein mentioned, as may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Bond Ordinance, the Bonds, the sale of the Bonds, the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Official Statement; and the Assistant City Manager/Fiscal and Municipal Services of the City shall cause the expenses of issuance of the Bonds to be paid from the proceeds of sale of the Initial Bond. In ease any officer whose signature shall appear on any Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Bond, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery. Section 24. OPEN MEETINGS. The City Council has found and determined that the meeting at which this Ordinance is considered is open to the public and that notice thereof was given in accordance with the provisions of the Texas Open Meetings, Law, Tex. Gov't. Code, Chapter 551, as amended. Section 25. EFFECTIVE DATE.
