&ction 2.1. Pitrpose of the Lease. The Lease is being executed and delivered to finance
the Project in a prudent manner consistent with the revenue needs, of the City. A breakdown of

sum of(1) Sale Proceeds plus (ii) all investment earnings thereon during the period ending on the
date of completion of the Project, less (Iii) Costs of Delivery paid from Sale Proceeds or
investment earnings thereon are to be used for Construction Purposes,.

aggregate principal amount of $15,365,397.00, including $76,000.00 to be paid from Such
proceeds for Costs of Delivery. The City intends to treat, and will continue to treat, the Lease as
-5-

and will continue to treat itself as the owner of the Equipment for federal income tax purposes.
Section 2.2. The Project — Binding Commitment and Timing. The City has incurred a
substantial binding obligation (not subject to contingencies within the control of the City or any
member of the same Controlled Group as the City) to expend at least five percent of the Sale
Proceeds on the Equipment. It is expected that the work of acquiring and installing the
Equipment and the expenditure of amounts deposited into the Acquisition Fund'; will continue to
proceed with due diligence through June 30, 2012, at which time it is anticipated that all Sale
Proceeds, and investment earnings thereon will have been spent.
It is expected that the Sale Proceeds deposited into the Acquisition Fund, including
investment earnings, thereon, will be spent to pay Equipment Costs in accordance with the
estimated drawdown schedule contained in Exhibit B.
Estimated total investment income as set forth in Exhibit has been calculated on the
basis of an expected overall investment rate as set forth therein on amounts in the Acquisition
Fund assuming that (a) the Equipment Costs are drawn down in accordance with the schedule
contained in Exhibit B and (b) Costs of Delivery will be drawn down on the Closing Date. The
foregoing assumptions represent the City's best estimate, as of this date", of the draw down
schedules of and investment earnings on the Sale Proceeds and investment earnings thereon.

will be used for Reimbursed Expenditures.
Section 2.4. Working Capila,l. All Sale Proceeds and investment earnings, thereon will
be used,: directly or indirectly,, to finance Capital Expenditures including Costs of Delivery. No,
Gross, Proceeds, may be spent for non-capita] purposes pursuant to this Section 2.4 If the
expenditure merely substitutes Gross Proiceed�s for other amounts that would have been used to
make expenditures, in a manner that gives rise se to replacement proceeds.
Section 2.5. Consequences of Contrary Expenditure. The City acknowledges that if Sale
Proceeds and investment eamings thereon are spent for non-Capital Expenditures other than as
permitted by Section 2.4 hereof, a like amount of then available funds of the City will be treated
as unspent Sale Proceeds.
Section 2.6. Investment o 'Sale Proceeds, Not more than 50% of the Sale Proceeds and
investment earnings thereon are or will be 'Invested in investments (other than qualified tax
exempt obligations) having a Yield that is substantially guaranteed for four years or more. No

investing Sale Proceeds or investment earnings thereon at a Yield higher than the 'Yield with
respect to the Lease.
Section 2.7. No Grants. None of the Sale Proceeds or investment earnings, thereon will
be used to make grants to any person.
i
Section 2.8. He,dge,s,, Neither the City nor any milember of the same Controlledl Group as
the City has entered into or expects to enter into any hedlge (e.g., an interest rate swap,, interest
rate cap,, ftitures contract, forward contract or an option) with respect to the Lease. The City
acknowledges that any such hedge could affect, among other things, the calculation of Yield with
respect to the Lease under the Regulations. The Internal Revenue Service could recalculate
Yield with respect to the Lease if the failure to account for the hedge fails to clearly reflect the
economic Substance of the transaction.

MEMORANDUM
ExtUBIT D
To: City of Fort worth, Texas
DATE: September 29, 2010
Re: Municipal Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement dated as of
September 7, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. l thereto
(collectively, the "Lease") between Johnson Controls, Inc., as lessor, and
City of Fort worth, Texas, as lessee.
We have acted as Special Tax Counsel in connection with the execution and delivery on
this date of the above-referenced Lease. In a Tax Exemption Certificate and Agreement
delivered by you on this date (the "Tax Agreement"), you have agreed to comply with the
arbitrage rebate requirements of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The purpose
of this memorandum is to set out generally the rules that you must follow to comply with the Tax
Agreement. This memorandum does not describe how to compute the amount to be rebated to
the United States, and due to the complexity involved, the computation will, in all, likelihood,
require consultation with an expert.
The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations relating to arbitrage and rebate
matters. This memorandum is based upon these regulations, which are subject to change in the
future. Such changes may require future recalculation of rebate amounts. For these reasons, it is
very important for you and your tax advisors to keep abreast of developments in this area.
The following advice is based on factual information contained in the Tax Agreement. If
the facts or expectations stated therein change, please call us to determine whether this results in
a change in the following rules. Please note that the rules governing permissible Yield on
investments set forth in the Tax Agreement are in addition to the rebate rules and, although you
might be allowed to earn a Yield in excess of Yield with respect to the Lease under the Yield
rules, such excess may still be required to be rebated. In some cases, the payment of rebate may
assist in compliance with the Yield restriction requirements. Thus, rebate compliance and Yield
restriction compliance may operate together rather than independently. In any case, rebate
compliance is essential to the maintenance of tax exemption even if no amounts are subject to
Yield restriction. Terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Tax
Agreement.
General Rule. Except in the case of certain exceptions and elections as summarized
below, every five years and at the final retirement of the Lease you must compute and pay (as
described below) to the United States the difference (the "Excess Earnings") between the
amount earned on all investments and reinvestments of"Gross Proceeds" (as defined in the Tax
Agreement) of the Lease ("Actual Earnings") and the amount that would have been earned if
D-1
CHAPMAN AND CUTLER LLP
Gross Proceeds, of the Lease had been invested at the Yield with respect to the Lease (the
"Allowable Earnings"). Earnings to be taken into account are not determined under normal tax
accounting principles. In addition to taking into account earnings received (either actually or
constructively), receipts with respect to investments that have not been liquidated are computed
by assuming that such investments are, in essence, converted to cash as of each computation date
as such dates are described below). The "cash value" of investments determined in this manner
is subject to many special rules. Under many circumstances, the "market value" of an
investment may be used. The application oft ese rules is complex and requires a comprehensive
understanding of the rebate regulations,.,
To properly plan for the eventual payment of rebate to the United States, we suggest that
you make annual calculations estimating rebate liability. The Tax Agreement establishes, a
rebate fund"' into which you may also, wish to deposit annual estimates of rebate liability so that
the payment to the United States may be made from amounts set aside. Federal tax law does not,
however, require such set asides. In any event, we strongly encourage you to make an annual
estimate of the rebate liability. The calculations can be lengthy and often produce surprising
results. Experience in operating our rebate calculation service indicates that the calculation is far
more difficult as the period of tune for which the calculation is being performed increases.
Phantom Income. With certain exceptions, amounts paid for administrative costs are not
treated as Increasing earnings, for purposes, of rebate calculations. Administrative costs that do
not increase earnings are reasonable, direct administrative costs, other than carrying costs, and
generally include brokerage commissions for the purchase of *investment agreements and
separately stated brokerage or selling commissions, but not legal and accounting fees, record
keeping, custody,, and similar costs and expenses,., The Regulations provide a safe harbor for
determining that a broker's fee for the purchase of an investment agreement is reasonable.
Computation Dates. Each calculation of Excess Eamings should be made as of a
"Computation, Date." The Computation Date should be the same date in each calendar year
(except that the final Computation Date should be the date on which the Lease is actually
'retired). As indicated above, a Computation Date is required at least every five years. The first
Computation Date Must be on or before the fifth anniversary of the original execution and
delivery of the Lease. Each Computation Date, other than the final Computation Date, is the end
of a bond year. A bond year ends on any date within one year of the original execution and
delivery of the Lease that you choose. If you do not choose an ending date for a bond year, it
will be the anniversary date of the original execution and delivery of the Lease.
Excess Earnings with respect to the Lease are determined by comparing Actual Earnings
as of a Computation Date with Allowable Earnings as of the same date. Allowable :Earnings are
based on the Yield with respect to the Lease as of such Computation Date. The Yield with
respect to the Lease may change, but for reasons described below Linder "Yield With Respect to
Lease"" It IS unlikely to change over the life of the Lease. If the Yield with respect tote Lease
decreases as of a particular Computation Date, rebate or additional rebate) may be due with
respect to investments that have previously matured and the proceeds thereof spent.
D-2
. ........... ........
CHAP MAN AND CUTLER LLP
Yield With Respect to Lease. Generally Yield with respect to the Lease is calculated
based upon expected payments of principal of and interest paid pursuant to the Lease ('Including
amounts treated as interest). The Yield with respect to the Lease is generally not required to be
recalculated after the date of original execution and delivery except under certain limited
circumstances. Generally, recomputation is required upon changes in hedging transactions (e.g.,
purchase or termination of a swap or cap agreement associated with the Lease) or the transfer of
rights associated with the Lease. The actual rules for computing the Yield with respect to the
Lease are quite complex, and if the Yield with respect to the Lease must be calculated or
recalculated, an expert should be consulted.
Gross Proceeds. Based upon the facts and expectations presented in the Tax Agreement,
the Gross, Proceeds, of' the Lease are all moneys and in,vestments in the Acquisition Fund
described, in the Tax Agreement. If,, contrary to the expectations described in the Tax
Agreement, moneys, or investments, are plled'gedl or otherwise set aside for payment of principal
or interest distributable with respect to the Lease, such amounts may also constitute Gross,
Proceeds.
Universal Cap. Gross proceeds will cease to be allocated to the Lease an will therefore
be treated as if spent) to the extent that the amount of Gross Proceeds exceeds the Outstanding
anlount of the aggregate principal portion of Rental Payments under the Lease (the "Universal
Cap"). Although special rules are applicable in the case of discount bonds, the outstanding
amount of bonds is roughly equal to the outstanding principal amount. Generally, but not
always, the market value of investments is used to test the amount of Gross Proceeds. The
Universal Cap may cause allocations on the second anniversary of the issue date and as of the
first day of each bond year thereafter.
Commingled Funds., Funds, allocated to, two or more issues, or containing amounts that
are not Gross Proceeds of the Lease and amounts that are Gross Proceeds of the Lease in which
,amounts are invested collectively without regard' to source of funds, must be treated as
commingled funds. Investment earnings on commingled funds must be allocated to the Gross,
Proceeds of the Lease according to a consistently applied reasonable allocation method. Such
method, for example, may be based on average daily balances. Investments in commingled
funds must be valued annually to properly allocate unrealized gain or loss to the Gross Proceeds
of the Lease. This mark to market requirement will not apply if the weighted average maturity of
al.1 investments held in the commingled fund during a particular fiscal year does not exceed 18
months and does not apply to commingled debt service and debt service reserve funds.
Si.-,c-Month Exception to the General Rule. If all Gross Proceeds of the Lease (including
earnings thereon) are spent within six months of the date the Lease i,s executed and delivered, no
rebate is required except as described below in the case of unexpected gross proceeds arising
after the Closing Date. If all proceeds (Including earnings thereon) required to be spent are so
spent within this six-month periold�, except for 51% of the Lease proceeds,, and you spend the 5%
(plus earnings, thereon with* I I
within one, year from the Closing Date, no, rebate is required,. To qualify
for the six-month exception, there must be no other amounts that are treated as Gross Proceeds of
D-3
CHAPMAN AND CUTLER LLP
the Lease. Even if you qualify for this exception, you may have to rebate with respect to any
amounts that arise or are pledged to the payment of the Lease at a later date.
Eighteen-Month Exception to the General Rule. If all. Gross Proceeds of the Lease, other
than those in a bona fide debt service fund, are expended in accordance with the spend-down
requirements set forth below, then rebate will only be required with respect to unexpected Gross
Proceeds arising after the Closing Date, if any.
PERIOD SPEND-DowN REQUIREMENT
6 months 15%
12 months 60%
18 months 100%
(except for reasonable retainages up to 5%)
30 months all reasonable retainages must be spent
To test these percentages for the six-month and 12-month periods, earnings reasonably
expected at the Closing Date are used to calculate the total to which the percentages are applied.
Actual earnings are used for the 18-mouth period test. if you exercise due diligence to complete
the financed project and an amount not exceeding the lesser of three percent of the issue price of
the Lease or $250,000 remains unspent as of the end of the 1 8th month, you will be treated as
satisfying the final expenditure requirement. If the issue is secured by a reasonably required
reserve fund, rebate is required on the reserve fund from the date the Lease is originally executed
and delivered, but not on the other funds. To qualify for the 18-month exception, there must be
no other amounts that are treated as Gross Proceeds of the Lease, other than a bona fide debt
service fund. Even if you qualify for this exception, you may have to rebate with respect to any
amounts that arise or are pledged to the payment of the Lease at a later date.
Two-.dear Construction Expenditure Exception to the General Rule. Rebate can also be
avoided in the case of an issue (or, if an appropriate election is made at the Closing Date, the
portion of an issue) 75% of the "available construction proceeds" of which are expected to be
used for construction expenditures (with respect to property that is owned by a governmental unit
or a 501(c)(3) organization) and the proceeds of which are spent in accordance with the spend-
down requirements set forth below, except as described below. In general, amounts in a
reasonably required reserve fund are subject to rebate as of the earlier of substantial completion
of construction or the date two years from the date of issuance of the Lease. Please see our
memorandum concerning elections.

24 months 100%

CHAPMAN AND CUTLER LLP
36 months All reasonable retainages Must be spent
In addition, if you exercise due diligence to complete the Project, an amount not
exceeding the lesser of three percent of the issue price of the issue or $250,000 may be
disregarded in testing compliance with the 24 month spend-down requirement if the reasonable
retainage is not used, or the 36 month spend-down requirement if the reasonable retai,nage is
used.
Gross proceeds, used to pay costs of issuance are not available construction proceeds and
expenditures for costs of issuance do not count towards, meeting the spending requirements. If,
however, the requirements are met, and all costs, o!f'issuance are paid within two, years, no rebate
is required on amounts used to pay such costs.
Available construction proceeds include earnings on other available construction
proceeds. For the first three periods you must use reasonable expectations regarding future
investment earnings in calculating such expenditure requirements. YOU may have elected to use
actual facts rather than reasonable expectations as to future earnings.
You may have elected to base the 75% construction rule on actual facts rather than
reasonable expectations as of the date of issuance. If so, actual lesser use for construction will
prevent use of this exception.
Even if you qualify for this exception, you may have to rebate with respect to any
amounts that arise or are pledged to the payment of the Lease at a later date.
Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligration Exce tion to the General Rule. To the extent that any
Gross Proceeds are invested in qualified tax exempt obligations (generally not including as
qual1fied tax exempt obligations) those obligations subject to the individual alternative minimum
tax), the earnings thereon would not be considered when calculating 'Excess Earnings. To the
extent that 100% of gross proceeds, are continually invested in qualified tax exempt obligations,
there would be no rebate requirement.
Investment f Re to Fund and'Other Funds. Investments, olf'moneys, in the Rebate Fund
and any other fund must be made in arm s-liength transactions in a manner that does not reduce
the amount to be rebated to the United States. Investment decisions, (other than the decision to
invest in qualified tax, exempt obligations to avoid rebate) must be made on the basis of nor rnal
investment criteria of safety, Yield, and when the money will be needed. A interest rates and
Yields must be market rates and Yields. Money must not be attowed to remain uninvested
except for small amounts or for short periods of time, as provided in Section 4.2 of the Tax
Agreement.
Rebate Payments. Within 60 days after the Computation Date that is the end of the fifth
bond year and every fifth bond year thereafter, at least 90% of the Excess Earnings and all
earnings on the Excess Earnings (net of an appropriate credit depending on whether unexpended
gross proceeds continue to exist) must be paid to the United States. Within 60 days of final

payment of all Rental Payments with respect to the Lease to the owners thereof, all Excess
Earnings and all earnings on the Excess, Earnings net of the credit) must be paid to the United
States. All 'payments to the United States must be mailed to the address provided in the
