herein,a substitute Bond or Bonds having the same maturity date,bearinginterest at the same rate,in an
Authorized Denomination at the request of the registered owner,and in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion thereof,will be issued to the registered owner upon surrender thereof

or portion thereof as permitted or required by any provision of this Ordinance shall constitute one of
the Bonds for all purposes of this Ordinance,and may again be exchanged or replaced. It is specifically
provided,however,that any Bond delivered in exchange for or replacement of another Bond prior to i
the first scheduled interest payment date on the Bonds (as stated on the face thereof) shall be dated the
same date as such Bond,but each substitute Bond so delivered on or after such first scheduled interest
payment date shall be dated as of the interest payment date preceding the date on which such substitute l
Bond is delivered,unless such substitute Bond is delivered on an interest payment date,in which case it
shall be dated as of such date of delivery; provided, however, that if at the time of delivery of any
substitute Bond the interest on the bond for which it is being exchanged has not been paid,then such
substitute Bond shall'be dated as of the date to which such interest has been paid in full. On each
substitute Bond issued in exchange for or replacement of any Bond or Bonds issued under this
Ordinance there shall be printed thereon a Paying Agent/Registrar's Authentication Certificate,in the i
form hereinafter set forth in the FORM OF BOND set forth in Exhibit A to this Ordinance (the
"Authentication Certificate"). An authorized representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar shall,before

manually sign and date the Authentication Certificate,and no such substitute Bond shall be deemed to
be issued or outstanding unless the Authentication Certificate is so executed. The Paying
Agent/Registrar promptly shall cancel all Bonds surrendered for exchange or replacement. No addi-
tional ordinances, orders, or resolutions need be passed or adopted by the City Council or any other
body or person so as to accomplish the foregoing exchange or replacement of any Bond or portion
hereof, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall provide for the printing, execution, and delivery of the
substitute bonds in the manner prescribed herein. Pursuant to Chapter 1206,Texas Government Code,
the duty of exchange or replacement of any Bond as aforesaid is hereby imposed upon the Paying !
Agent/Registrar,and,upon the execution of the Authentication Certificate,the exchanged or replaced
Bond shall be valid,incontestable,and enforceable in the same manner and with the same effect as the
Bonds which originally were delivered pursuant to this Ordinance,approved,by the Attorney General,
i
and registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts. Neither the City not the Paying Agent/Registrar
shall be requited(1) to issue,transfer,or exchange any Bond during a period beginning at the opening

for making transfers of Bonds,but the registered owner of any Bond requesting such transfer shall pay
any taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto. The registered owner
of any Bond requesting any exchange shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's reasonable and standard or
customary fees and charges for exchanging any such Bond or portion thereof,together with any taxes or
governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto, all as a condition precedent to the
exercise of such privilege of exchange,except,however,that in the case of the exchange of an assigned
and transferred Bond or Bonds or any portion or portions thereof in any integral multiple of$5,000,and
in the case of the exchange of the unredeemed portion of a Bond which has been redeemed in part prior
to maturity, as provided in this Ordinance,such fees and charges will be paid by the City. In addition,
the City hereby covenants with the registered owners of the Bonds that it will(i)pay the reasonable and
standard or customary fees and charges of the Paying Agent/Registrar for its services with respect to the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds,when due,and(ii)pay the fees and charges of the
Paying Agent/Registrar for services with respect to the transfer or registration of Bonds solely to the
extent above provided,and with respect to the exchange of Bonds solely to the extent above provided.
i
(g) The City covenants with the registered owners of the Bonds that at all times while the Bonds j
are outstanding the City will provide a competent and legally qualified bank, trust company, financial
institution,or other agency to act as and perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds j
under this Ordinance, and that the-Paying Agent/Registrar will be one entity. The City reserves the
right to,and may,at its option, change the Paying Agent/Registrar upon not less than 60 days written
notice to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In the event that the entity at any time acting as Paying
Agent/Registrar (or its successor by merger, acquisition, or other method) should resign or otherwise
cease to act as such,the City covenants that promptly it will appoint a competent and legally qualified
national or state banking institution which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under
the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise trust
powers, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, and whose qualifications
substantially are similar to the previous Paying Agent/Registrar to act as Paying Agent/Registrar under
this Ordinance. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrat,the previous Paying Agent/Registrar I
promptly shall transfer and deliver the Registration Books (or a copy thereof , along with all other
I
pertinent books and records relating to the Bonds,to the new Paying Agent/Registrar designated and
appointed by the City. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar,the City promptly will cause a
written notice thereof to be sent by the new Paying Agent/Registrar to each registered owner of the i
Bonds,by United States mail,first-class postage prepaid,which notice also shall give the address of the
new Paying Agent/Registrar. By accepting the position and performing as such, each Paying
Agent/Registrar shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this Ordinance, and a certified f
copy of this Ordinance shall be delivered to each Paying Agent/Registrar. r
I
(h) Each redemption notice,whether and to the extent required in the FORM OF BOND
set forth in Exhibit A to this Ordinance or otherwise by this Ordinance, shall contain a description of
the Bonds to be redeemed,including the complete name of the Bonds,the series,the date of issue,the
interest rate, the maturity date, the CUSIP number (if any), the amounts called for redemption, the C
publication and mailing date for the notice,the date of redemption,the redemption price,the name of

person and telephone,number. All redemption payments made by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the I
registered owners of the Bonds shall include CUSIP numbers relating to each amount paid to such
registered owner,if the Bonds beat a CUSIP number.
I
Ordinance No.21474-09-2014

6. That the form of all Bonds,including the form of the Comptroller's Registration Certificate
to accompany the Bonds on the initial delivery thereof,the form of the Authentication Certificate,and
the Form of Assignment to be printed on each of the Bonds, shall be,respectively, substantially as set
forth in Exhibit A to this Ordinance,with such appropriate variations, omissions, or insertions as are
permitted or required by this Ordinance.
7. (a) That a special fund or account, to be designated the "City of Fort Worth,Texas Series
2015 GeneralPurpose Refunding Bonds Interest and Redemption Fund" (the"Interest and Redemption
Fund") is hereby created and shall be established and maintained by the City. The Interest and
Redemption Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of the City, and
shall be used only for paying the interest on and principal of the Bonds. All taxes levied and collected
for and on account of the Bonds shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit of the Interest and a
Redemption Fund. During each year while any Bond is outstanding and unpaid,the City Council of the
City shall compute and ascertain the rate and amount of ad valorem tax,based on the latest approved
tax rolls of the City,with full allowances being made for tax delinquencies and costs of tax collections, j
which will be sufficient to raise and produce the money required to pay the interest on the Bonds as ;
such interest comes due,and to provide a sinking fund to pay the principal(including mandatory sinking i
fund redemption payments set forth in the FORM OF BOND set forth in Exhibit to this Ordinance)
of the Bonds as such principal matures,but never less than 2%of the outstanding principal amount of
the Bonds as a sinking fund each year. This rate and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby ordered to be
levied and is hereby levied against all taxable property in the City for each year while any Bond is
outstanding and unpaid, and the ad valorem tax shall be assessed and collected each such year and
deposited to the credit of the Interest and Redemption Fund. The ad valorem taxes necessary to pay the
interest on and principal of the Bonds,as such interest comes due,and such principal matures or comes
due through operation of the mandatory sinking fund redemption, as provided in the FORM OF
BOND set forth in Exhibit A to this Ordinance,are hereby pledged for such purpose,within the limit
prescribed by law. There shall be appropriated from the General Fund of the City for deposit into the
Interest and Redemption Fund moneys as may be necessary to pay the first scheduled debt service j
payments on the Bonds occurring on September 1, 2015.
I
(b) Chapter 1208,Texas Government Code,applies to the issuance of the Bonds and the pledge
of ad valorem taxes made under Section 7(a) of this Ordinance, and such pledge is therefore valid,
effective, and perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the Bonds are outstanding and
unpaid such that the pledge of ad valorem taxes made by the City under Section 7(a) of this Ordinance j
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 Bonds 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 j
enable a filing to perfect the security interest in said pledge to occur.
8. (a)That 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.
II
(b) Application for replacement of damaged,mutilated,lost,stolen,or destroyed Bonds shall be
made to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss,theft,or destruction of a Bond,the applicant
for a replacement bond shall furnish to the City and to the Paying Agent/Registrar such security or
i
Ordinance No.21474-09-2014
Page 6of 16
I
i
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 Bond,the applicant shall furnish to
the City and to the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss,theft,or destruction
of such Bond,as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a Bond,the applicant shall
surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Bond so damaged or mutilated.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section,in the event 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 City may authorize the payment of the same
(without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Bond) instead of issuing a j
replacement Bond,provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section.
_ 1
(d) Prior to the issuance of any replacement Bond,the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the
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 City whether 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) In accordance with Chapter 1206,Texas Government Code,this Section of this Ordinance
shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such replacement bond without necessity of further I
action by the governing body of the City 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, subject to the
conditions imposed by this Section 8,and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver such i
bonds in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 5(d) of this Ordinance for
Bonds issued in exchange for other Bonds.
I
9. That the Mayor,the City Manager,any Assistant City Manager,the Chief Financial Officer of
the City,the Director of Finance,the City Treasurer,the City Secretary and all other officers,employees,
and agents of the City,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 seal and on behalf of the City all such
instruments,whether herein mentioned,as may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms
and provisions of this Ordinance or the Bonds,including,without limitation,effecting the redemption
of the Refunded Obligations. In case any officer whose signature appears 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 he or she had remained in office until such delivery. The City Manager of j
the City or the designee thereof is hereby authorized to have control of the Bonds and all necessary
records and proceedings pertaining to the Bonds pending their delivery and their investigation, j
examination and approval by the Attorney General of the State of Texas,and their registration by the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of.the State of Texas. Upon registration of the Bonds, said
Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a deputy designated in writing to act for said Comptroller) shall
manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate accompanying the Bonds,and the seal of said
Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile, on each such certificate. The City Council
hereby authorizes the payment of the fee of the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Texas for
the examination of the proceedings relating to the issuance of the Bonds,in the amount determined in j
accordance with the provisions of Section 1202.004,Texas Government Code.

10. That the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds shall be used in the manner described in a
letter of instructions executed by or on behalf of the City,provided, that any proceeds representing
accrued interest on the Bonds shall be deposited to the credit of the Interest and Redemption Fund and
any proceeds representing premium on the Bonds shall be used in a manner consistent with the
provisions of Section 1201.042(d),Texas Government Code.
11. That the Issuer covenants to take any action to assure, or refrain from any action which
would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as obligations described in section 103 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (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 j
covenants as follows:
I
(a) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Bonds or the projects financed or refinanced 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 I
or,if more than 10 percent of the proceeds are so used,that amounts,whether 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 or the
projects financed or refinanced therewith (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
r
governmental use; i.
(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 otherwise result in the Bonds
being treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code; i
i
I
(e) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Bonds being"federally i
guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
i
(f) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds,directly or indi-
rectly, 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 Bonds, other than investment property acquired with--
i
(1) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period until
such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds ate issued,
(2) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund,within the meaning.
of section 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations,and

To the extent,however,that Bonds subject to sinking fund redemption have been previously purchased
or called for redemption in part and otherwise than from a sinking fund redemption payment, each
annual sinking fund payment for such Bond shall be reduced by the amount obtained by multiplying the
principal amount of Bonds so purchased or redeemed by the ratio which each remaining annual sinking
fund redemption payment for such Bonds bears to the total remaining sinking fund payments, and by j
rounding each such payment to the nearest$5,000 integral.
!
FOR SO LONG AS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF ONE HUNDRED PERCENT i
(100 0/6) OF THE BONDS IS ONE OF THE ENTITIES, EITHER SEVERALLY OR JOINTLY,
DESCRIBED IN THE FIRST SENTENCE OF SECTION 3(c) OF.THE ORDINANCE, NO
NOTICE OF A REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE SHALL BE
REQUIRED.
I
THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPH NOTWITHSTANDING,if an owner of any Bond is not
an entity described in the first sentence of Section 3(c) of the Ordinance, at least 30 days prior to the
date fixed for any such redemption a written notice of such redemption shall be given to the registered
owner of each Bond or a portion thereof being called for redemption by depositing such notice in the
United States mail, first class postage prepaid, addressed to each such registered owner at his address
shown on the Registration Books of the Paying Agent/Registrar. Any notice so mailed shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given notwithstanding whether one or more registered owners
I
may have failed to have received such notice. By the date fixed for any such redemption due provision
shall be made by the Issuer with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the required redemption
price for this Bond or the portion hereof which is to be so redeemed,plus accrued interest thereon to
the date fixed for redemption. If such notice of redemption is given, and if due provision for such
payment is made, all as provided above,this Bond, or the portion hereof which is to be so redeemed,
thereby automatically shall be redeemed prior to its scheduled maturity,and shall not bear interest after
the date fixed for its redemption,and shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of
the registered owner to receive the redemption price plus accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. The Paying

I
Agent/Registrar shall record in the Registration Books all such redemptions of principal of this Bond or
any portion hereof. If a portion of any Bond shall be redeemed a substitute Bond or Bonds having the
same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate, in any denomination or denominations in any
integral multiple of$5,000 (an "Authorized Denomination"), at the written request of the registered
owner,and in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof,will be issued to the
registered owner upon the surrender thereof for cancellation, at the expense of the Issuer, all as
provided,in the Ordinance.
ALL BONDS OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully registered bonds,without interest
coupons, in any Authorized Denomination. As provided in the Ordinance, this Bond, or any
unredeemed portion hereof, may, at the request of the registered owner or the assignee or assignees
hereof,be assigned,transferred,and exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of fully registered
bonds,without interest coupons,payable to the appropriate registered owner,assignee,or assignees,as
the case may be,having the same maturity date,and bearing interest at the same rate,in any Authorized
Denomination as requested in writing by the appropriate registered owner,assignee,or assignees,as the
case may be, upon surrender of this Bond to the Paying Agent/Registrar at its Designated Payment
Office for cancellation, all in accordance with the form and procedures set forth in the Ordinance.
Among other requirements for such assignment and transfer, this Bond must be presented and
surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar,together with proper instruments of assignment,in form and
with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, evidencing assignment of this
Bond or any portion or portions hereof in any integral multiple of$5,000 to the assignee or assignees in
whose name or names this Bond or any such portion or portions hereof is or are to be transferred and
registered. The form of Assignment printed or endorsed on this Bond may be executed by the
registered owner to evidence the assignment hereof, but such method is not exclusive, and other ;
instruments of assignment satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar may be used to evidence the
assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof from time to time by the registered owner.
The one requesting such exchange shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's reasonable standard or
customary fees and charges for exchanging any Bond or portion thereof. The foregoing
notwithstanding,in the case of the exchange of a portion of a Bond which has been redeemed priot to
maturity, as provided herein, and in the case of the exchange of an assigned and transferred Bond or j
Bonds or any portion or portions thereof,such fees and charges of the Paying Agent/Registrar will be
paid by the Issuer. In any circumstance, any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with
respect thereto shall:be paid by the one requesting such assignment,transfer,or exchange as a condition
precedent to the exercise of such privilege. In any circumstance, neither the Issuer nor the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall be required(1)to make any transfer or exchange during a period beginning at the
opening of business 30 days before the day of the first mailing of a notice of redemption of bonds and
ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing,or(2) to transfer or exchange any Bonds so
selected for redemption when such redemption is scheduled to occur within 30 calendar days.
IN THE EVENT any Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds is changed by the Issuer,resigns,
or otherwise ceases to act as such, the Issuer has covenanted in the Ordinance that it promptly will
appoint a competent and legally qualified substitute therefor, and promptly will cause written notice
thereof to be mailed to the registered owners of the Bonds.
E
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that the issuance of this Bond,and the series of
which it is a part, is duly authorized by law; that all acts, conditions and things required to be done
