NO ARBITRAGE AND FACILITIE'S CERTIFICATE
1. In General.
1.1. The undersigned is the Mayor of the City of Fort
Worth, Texas -(the "Issuer").
1.2. This Certificate is executed for the purpose of (a)
establ ping the reasonable expectations of the Issuer as to
future events regarding $16,60q,00~0 :principal amount of the
Issuer's 'Water and Sewer System Revenue Bonds, Series 1985 (the
'"Bonds") and ('b) providing covenants relating to arbitrage, the
use and expenditure of the :proceeds of the Bonds and the use of
the facilities financed with the ,proceeds of the Bonds. T.he
Bonds are being issued pursuant to an ordinance adopted by -the
City Council of the Issuer on March 5, :198.5 (the "Ordinance").
The Issuer has not been .notified of any listing or proposed
listing of the Issuer by the Internal Revenue Service as an
issuer that may not certify its bonds.
1.3. To the best of the undersigned's knowledge, nforma-
tion and belief, the expectations contained in this Certificate
are reasonable.
1.4. The undersigned is an officer of the Issuer delegated
with the responsibility of issuing and~del:ivering the Bonds.
1.5. The Issuer is making the covenants contained in
Section 3 of this Certificate in consideration for the purchase
of the Bonds by [name of purchaser] (the "Purchaser").
1.6. The representations and covenants in this Certificate
will only be amended to the extent that the Issuer receives. an
opinion from McCall, Parkhurst & Horton to the effect that such
:amendment will not result i,n the interest on the .Bonds being
includable in gross income within the meaning of Section 103(a)
~of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended the "Code").
2. The Purpose of the Bonds.
The Bonds are issued for the purpose of providing funds to
make improvements and extensions to the Issuer's water and sewer
system (the "Project").
3. Covenants. The Issuer .hereby covenants to and with the
.Purchasers--and .all registered owners of the Bonds as follows:
3.1, No more. than $1 million of the proceeds of the Bonds
swill be used directly or indirectly (a) to make or finance loans
to persons or (b) in any trade or business carried on by any
person (other than the use as a member of the general public).
For purposes of the preceding sentence:
i
~ r t
{i) th:e term "person" does not include a governmental
unit other than the United States or any agency ~or
instrumentality thereof,
(ii) the term "trade or business" means any activity
carried on by a person other than a natural
person.,
(iii) a person may be treated as the user of bond
proceeds or bond financed property as the result
of (1) ownership or (2) actual or beneficial use
of the property .pursuant to a lease, a management
or incentive payment cont.ra~ct, or an arrangement
such as a take or pay or other type of output
contract,
(iv) use by all nongovernmental persons that use
bond-financed property on a basis unlike that of
the general public is aggregated in determining
whether the $i million limit is exceeded, and
(v) 'the fact that some customers of a utility may
purchase more output or use more of the capacity
of facilities than others or that rates charged to
customers may reflect volume discounts does not
necessarily indicate that the facility is not made
available to members of the public on the same
basis, as long as :such transactions in substance
do not approximate an output contract or a take-
or-pay contract or otherwise constitute use of the
bond proceeds of the issue by such customer.
3.2. The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Section
147 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1'985 contained in H.R. .3838,
passed by the U. S. House of Representatives on December 17, 1985

thereto or other bill introduced in either house of the U. S.
Congress in the current session) (the "Tax Reform Act of 1985"),
including the requirements of Section 147(d)(3) relating to the
limitation on investments i.n nonpurpos~e obligations and the
requirements of Section 147 (e) relating to the required rebate to
the United States.
3.3. The Issuer will make no use of the proceeds of the
:Bonds or the facilities financed or refinanced with such proceeds
that would result in the interest on the Bonds not being excluded
from gross income within the meaning of Section 103(a) of the
Internal Revenue Gode of 1954, as amended,. or the Tax Reform Act
of 1985.

yield of the Bonds by more than one-eighth of one percentage
point. The term "yield'" means that yield which when used in
computing the present worth of all payments of :principal and
interest to be paid in the obligation produces an amount equal to

money held .in the Interest .and Sinking Fund will be spent within
a one-year period beginning on the date of receipt..

ferred and used in the manner required by t'he Ordinance.

ferred to the Interest and Sinking Fund, the moneys in the
Revenue Fund are not reasonably expected to be used to pay the
principal of and interest on the Bonds. There will be no as ur-
ance that such moneys will be available to meet debt service if
the Issuer encounters financial difficulty. Amounts in the
Revenue Fund will be .invested without yield restriction.
