Fund") is hereby created and shall be established and maintained by the Issuer. The Interest and

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 shall be deposited, as collected, to the
credit of the Interest and Redemption Fund. During each year while any of the Certificates are
outstanding and unpaid, the governing body of the Issuer shall compute and ascertain the rate and
amount of ad valorem tax, based on the latest approved tax rolls of the Issuer, with full allowances
- being made for tax delinquencies and the cost of tax collections, which will be sufficient to raise and
produce the money required to pay the interest on the Certificates as such interest comes due, and
to provide a sinking :fund to pay the principal of the Certificates as such principal matures, but never
less than 2% of the original amount of the Certificates as a sinking fund each year. Said rate and
amount of ad valorem tax is hereby ordered to be levied against all taxable property in the Issuer for

interest comes due atzd such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit
prescribed by law. If proceeds from the sale of the Certificates representing accrued interest shall be
on deposit in the Interest and Redemption Fund in advance of the time when ad valorem taxes are
scheduled to be levied for any year, then the amount of taxes which otherwise would have been
required to be levied may be reduced to the extent and by the amount of the accrued interest then on
deposit in the Interest and Redemption Fund.
Section 9. REVENUES. That the Certificates of Obligation are additionally secured by and
shall be payable from the Surplus Revenues. The Surplus Revenues are pledged by the City pursuant

secured in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted or required by law for the security of public
funds. The Interest and Redemption Fund shall be used only for the purposes and in the manner
permitted or required by this Ordinance. Chapter 1208, Texas Government Cade, applies to the
- ----issuence-ofthe-C-ertificates-a.nd-the-pledge of~:d valor-em taxes-and the-Sur-plus~evenues-granted-by---
the City under Sections 8 and 9, and such pledge is therefore valid, effective, and perfected. If Texas
law is amended at any time while the Certificates are outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge of
the ad valorem taxes and Surplus Revenues granted by the City is to be subject to the filing
requirements of Chapter 9, Texas Business & Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the
Registered Owners of the Certificates the perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the City
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 to perfect the security interest in said pledge to occur.

the option of the City, be invested in Eligible Investments; provided that all such deposits and
investments shall have a par value (or market value when less than par) exclusive of accrued interest

made in such manner that the money required to be expended from any Fund or Account will be
available at the proper time or times; and provided, further, that the investment of such moneys shall
be governed by and consistent with the City's investment policy. Such investments shall be valued
in terms of current market value as of the last day of each Fiscal Year, except that direct obligations

fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the

(g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Certificates or amounts treated

contravene the requirements of Section 148 ofthe Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the ex-
tent applicable, Section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refizndings); and
(h) to pay to the United States of .America at least once during each five-year period

pay to the United 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

For purposes of the foregoing (a) and (b), the Issuer understands that the term "proceeds" includes

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 feder-al-income t-axation of interest on the-Certificates under. Section 1.03__ _ _ _ _ _

any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code, and to make such elections on behalf of
the Issuer which maybe permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance

148 of the Code.

Certificates. For purposes hereof, the Issuer shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if
it obtains an opinion from nationally-recognized bond counsel to the effect that such failure to comply
will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the
interest.

constituting a 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-

adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Certificates. For purposes of this Section, the portion
of the property comprising personal property and disposed of in the ordinary course of business shall
-13-
not be treated as a transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes

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 "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the
New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered under Section 17A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the City accepts, but in no way verifies, such
representations. The definitive Certificates delivered to the Purchaser may be registered in the name
of CEDE & CO., the nominee of DTC, if the terms of the Purchase Agreement so provide. DTC may
hold the Certificates on behalf of the Purchaser. So long as each Certificate is registered in the name
of CEDE & CO., the Paying Agent/Registrar shall treat and deal with DTC the same in all respects

not be responsible far paying any fees or charges with respect to its services, will not be responsible
or liable far maintaining, supervising, or reviewing the records of DTC or its participants, or
protecting any interests or rights of the beneficial owners of the Certificates. Should the terms of the
Purchase Agreement. so provide, it shall be the duty of 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 City does not represent, nor does it in any way
covenant that any book-entry system established with DTC will be maintained in the future. If for
any reason should any ofthe originally delivered Certificates duly file 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. Should there be
established abook-E;ntry system with DTC, the City heretofore has executed a "Blanket Letter of
Representations" prepared by DTC in order to implement the book-entry system described above.
