delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, to the extent of the unpaid principal balance or principal amount thereof,
may, upon surrender of such Certificate at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent/Registrar,
together with a written request therefor duly executed by the registered owner or the assignee or assignees
thereof, or its or their duly authorized attorneys or representatives, with guarantee of signatures satisfactory
to the Paying Agent/Registrar, may, at the option of the registered owner or such assignee or assignees, as
appropriate, be converted into and exchanged for fully registered certificates, without interest coupons, in the
form prescribed in the FORM OF SUBSTITUTE CERTIFICATE set forth in this Ordinance, in the
denomination of $5,000, or any integral multiple of $5,000 (subject to the requirement hereinafter stated that
each substitute Certificate shall have a single stated maturity date), as requested in writing by such registered
owner or such assignee or assignees, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal balance
or principal amount of any Certificate or Certificates so surrendered, andpayable to the appropriate registered
owner, assignee, or assignees, as the case may be. If the Initial Certificate is assigned and transferred or
converted each substitute Certificate issued in exchange for any portion of the Initial Certificate shall have
a single stated principal maturity date, and shall not be payable in installments; and each such Certificate shall
have a principal maturity date corresponding to the due date of the installment of principal or portion thereof
for which the substitute Certificate is being exchanged; and each such Certificate shall bear interest at the
single rate applicable to and home by such installment of principal or portion thereof for which it is being
exchanged. If any Certificate or portion thereof (other than the Initial Certificate) is assigned and transferred
or converted, each Certificate issued in exchange therefor shall have the same principal maturity date and
bear interest at the same rate as the Certificate for which it is being exchanged. Each substitute Certificate
shall bear a letter and/or number to distinguish it from each other Certificate. The Paying Agent/Registrar
shall convert and exchange or replace Certificates as provided herein, and each fully registered certificate
delivered in conversion of and exchange for or replacement of any Certificate or portion thereof as permitted
or required by any provision of this Ordinance shall constitute one of the Certificates for all purposes of this
Ordinance, and may again be converted and exchanged or replaced. It is specifically provided that any
Certificate authenticated in conversion of and exchange for or replacement of another Certificate on or prior
to the first scheduled Record Date for the Initial Certificate shall bear interest from the date of the Initial
Certificate, but each substitute Certificate so authenticated after such first scheduled Record Date shall bear
interest from the interest payment date next preceding the date on which such substitute Certificate was so
authenticated, unless such Certificate is authenticated after any Record Date but on or before the next
following interest payment date, in which case it shall bear interest from such next following interest payment
date; provided, however, that if at the time of delivery of any substitute Certificate the interest on the
Certificate for which it is being exchanged is due but has not been paid, then such Certificate shall bear
interest from the date to which such interest has been paid in full. THE INITIAL CERTIFICATE issued and
delivered pursuant to this Ordinance is not required to be, and shall not be, authenticated by the Paying
Agent/Registrar, but on each substitute Certificate issued in conversion of and exchange for or replacement
of any Certificate or Certificates issued under this Ordinance there shall be printed a certificate, in the form
substantially as follows:
"PAYING AGENT/REGISTRAR'S AUTHENTICATION CERTIFICATE

Ordinance described on the face of this Certificate; and that this Certificate has been issued in conversion

Section 8. TAX LEVY. 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 premium and 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% 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
17
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.
Section 9. SURPLUS REVENUES. The Certificates additionally shall be payable from and secured
by surplus revenues in accordance with Section 1502 of the Texas Government Code, as amended, to the
extent hereinafter permitted, 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) remaining after (a) payment of all amounts constituting operation and maintenance expenses of said
Utility System, and (b) payment of all debt service, reserve, and other requirements and amounts required to
be paid under all ordinances heretofore or hereafter authorizing (i) all bonds and (ii) all other obligations not
on a parity with the Certificates, which are payable from and secured by any Utility System revenues, and
(c) payment of all amounts payable from any Utility System revenues pursuant to contracts heretofore or
hereafter entered into by the Issuer in accordance with law (the "Surplus Revenues"). If, for any reason, the
Issuer fails to deposit ad valorem taxes levied pursuant to Section 8 hereof to the credit of the Interest and
Sinking Fund in an amount sufficient to pay, when due, the principal of and interest on the Certificates, then
Surplus Revenues, to the extent hereinafter permitted, shall be deposited to the credit of the Interest and
Sinking Fund and used to pay such principal and/or interest. A maximum aggregate of $10,000 of Surplus
Revenues may be used to pay principal and/or interest on the Certificates and any obligations on a parity
therewith. The Certificates and any obligations on a parity therewith are not, and shall not be deemed to be,
payable from or secured by any Surplus Revenues in excess of an aggregate of $10,000. Until and unless
an aggregate of $10,000 of Surplus Revenues actually is used to pay any such principal and/or interest,
additional obligations, payable from and secured by all or any remaining unused part of said aggregate of
$10,000 of Surplus Revenues, may be issued by the Issuer on a parity with the Certificates and any other then
outstanding parity obligations, with the Certificates and all such additional parity obligations to be payable from
and secured equally and ratably by all or any remaining unused part of said aggregate. The Issuer reserves,
and shall have, the right to issue bonds, and other obligations not on a parity with the Certificates, and to enter
into contracts, in accordance with applicable laws, to be payable from and secured by any Utility System
revenues other than the aggregate of $10,000 of Surplus Revenues as described above. The Certificates are
on a parity with those issues of City of Denton Certificates of Obligation, Series 1993, Series 1993-A, Series
1994, Series 1995, Series 1996, Series 1998, Series 1999, Series 2000, Series 2001 and Series 2002 (the
"Outstanding Certificates"), as permitted in the Ordinances authorizing same; and it is hereby found and deter-
mined that none of the above defined Surplus Revenues have ever been used to pay any principal and/or
interest on the Outstanding Certificates.
Section 10. DEFEASANCE OF CERTIFICATES. (a) Any Certificate and the interest thereon shall
be deemed to be paid, retired, and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased Certificate") within the meaning of this
Ordinance, except to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section, when payment of the principal of
such Certificate, plus interest thereon to the due date 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 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
18
been made by the Issuer with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased
Certificates shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Certificate shall be deemed to be a
Defeased Certificate hereunder, as aforesaid, such Certificate 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 Certificates 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 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.
Section 11. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES.
(a) Replacement Certificates. In the event any outstanding Certificate is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen,
or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed, and delivered, a new certificate
of the same principal amount, maturity, and interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed
Certificate, in replacement for such Certificate in the manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for Replacement Certificates. Application for replacement of damaged,
mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificates shall be made by the registered owner thereof to the Paying
Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Certificate, the registered owner applying
for a replacement certificate 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 Certificate, the registered owner shall furnish
to the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft, or destruction
of such Certificate, as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a Certificate, the registered
owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Certificate so damaged or mutilated.
(c) No Default Occurred Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the event
of any such Certificate shall have matured, and no default has occurred which is then continuing in the
payment of the principal of, or interest on the Certificate, the Issuer may authorize the payment of the same
(without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Certificate) instead of issuing a
replacement Certificate, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section.
(d) Charge for IssuingBgplacement Certificates, Prior to the issuance of any replacement
certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such Certificate with all legal,
printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every replacement certificate issued pursuant to the
19
provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Certificate is lost, stolen, or destroyed shall constitute
a contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate 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 Certificates duly issued under this Ordinance.
(e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Certificates. In accordance with Chapter 1201, Texas
Government Code, this Section of this Ordinance shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such
replacement certificate 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 certificates is hereby authorized and imposed upon
the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates
in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 6(d) of this Ordinance for Certificates
issued in conversion and exchange for other Certificates.

necessary records and proceedings pertaining to the Initial Certificate 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 Certificate 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 Certificate, and the seal of said Comptroller shall
be impressed, or placed in facsimile, on the Initial Certificate. 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
Certificate or on any Certificates issued and delivered in conversion of and exchange or replacement of any
Certificate, but neither shall have any legal effect, and shall be solely for the convenience and information of
the registered owners of the Certificates. The preamble to this Ordinance is hereby adopted and made a part
hereof for all purposes. If insurance is obtained on any of the Certificates, the Initial Certificate and all other
Certificates shall bear an appropriate legend concerning insurance as provided by the insurer.
Section 13. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX-EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON THE
CERTIFICATES. (a) Covenants. The Issuer covenants to take any action necessary to assure, or refrain
from any action'which would adversely affect, the treatment of the Certificates 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:
(1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Certificates 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
Order or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of
more than 10 percent of the debt service on the Certificates, 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 Certificates or the projects
financed therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of
20
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;
(3) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of

fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state or local

(4) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Certificates 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 Certificates 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 Certificates, 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 Certificates, other than investment property acquired with
(A) proceeds of the Certificates invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3
years or less or, in the case of a refunding bond, for a period of 90 days or less until such
proceeds are 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 Treasury Regulations, and

the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates;

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

States of America, not later than 60 days after the Certificates have been paid in full, 100 percent
of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section 148(0 of the
Code.
(b) Proceeds. 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 Certificates. 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 Certificates, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant contained
21
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 Certificates 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 Certificates, 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 Certificates under section 103 of the Code. In
furtherance of such intention, the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor 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 Certificates.
Section 14. SALE OF INITIAL CERTIFICATE. The Initial Certificate is hereby sold and shall be
delivered to UBS PaineWebber, Inc. for cash for 99.631% of the par value thereof and accrued interest
thereon to date of delivery, plus a cash premium of $-0-. Such premium shall, upon receipt, be deposited into
the Interest and Sinking Fund. It is hereby officially found, determined, and declared that the Initial Certificate
has been sold at public sale to the bidder offering the lowest interest cost, after receiving sealed bids pursuant
to an Official Notice of Sale and Bidding Instructions and Preliminary Official Statement dated March 14,
2003 prepared and distributed in connection with the sale ofthe Initial Certificate. Said Official Notice of Sale
and Bidding Instructions, Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement dated March 25, 2003,
and any addenda, supplement, or amendment thereto have been and are hereby approved by the Issuer, and
their use in the offer and sale of the Certificates is hereby approved. It is further officially found, determined,
and declared that the statements and representations contained in said Official Notice of Sale, Preliminary
Official Statement and Official Statement are true and correct in all material respects, to the best knowledge
and belief of the City Council and the Issuer.
Section 15. 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
earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary of the delivery of the Certificates, or (2) the date the Certificates 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 Certificates. 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 16. 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
or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Certificates. 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.
22
Section 17. INTEREST EARNINGS ON CERTIFICATE PROCEEDS. Interest earnings derived
from the investment of proceeds from the sale of the Initial Certificate shall be used along with other proceeds
for the purposes for which the Certificates are issued; provided that after completion of such purposes, 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 certificate proceeds which are required
to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to Section 13 hereof in order to prevent the Certifi-
cates from being "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Code shall be so rebated and not considered as
interest earnings for the purposes of this Section.
Section 18. DTC REGISTRATION. The Certificates initially shall be issued and delivered in such
manner that no physical distribution of the Certificates will be made to the public, and The Depository Trust
Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, initially will act as depository for the Certificates. DTC has
represented that it is a limited purpose trust company incorporated under the laws of the State ofNew York,
a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "blearing 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 Certificate 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 Certificate and
deliver in exchange therefor a substitute Certificate for each maturity of such Initial Certificate, with each
such substitute Certificate 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
Certificates on behalf of the Purchaser and/or the DTC Participants, as defined and described in the Official
Statement referred to and approved in Section 14 hereof (the "DTC Participants"). So long as each
Certificate 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 Certificates by DTC Partici-
pants 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 Certificates
initially deposited with DTC shall be immobilized and not be further exchanged for substitute Certificates
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 Certificates. 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 Certificates, 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 Certificates 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
Certificate 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 Certificates
is duly filed with the Paying Agent/Registrar with proper request for transfer and substitution, as provided for
in this Ordinance, substitute Certificates 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 Certificates.

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

EMPLOYEES, BE LIABLE TO THE REGISTERED OWNER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER OF 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 Certificates in the primary offering of the
Certificates 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 Certificates 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 Certificates. If the Issuer so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include with any amended
financial information or operating data 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 provided. The Issuer may also amend or repeal the provisions
25
of this continuing disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable provision of the Rule or
