serve as Paying Agent/Registrar for the Certificates is hereby approved and confirmed, and the

60530807.3/11509724 2
books and records relating to the registration, payment and transfer of the Certificates (the
"Security Register"), all as provided herein, in accordance with the terms and provisions of a
"Paying Agent/Registrar Agreement" substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and
such reasonable rules and regulations as the Paying Agent/Registrar and City may prescribe;
and the Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem and City Secretary are authorized to execute and deliver such
Agreement in connection with the delivery of the Certificates. The City covenants to maintain

expense of, the Holder. If the date for the payment of the principal of or interest on the
Certificates shall be a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or a day when banking institutions in the
city where the Designated Payment/Transfer Office is located are authorized by law or

authorized to be closed; and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if
made on the original date payment was due.

established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when funds for the payment of such interest
have been received from the City. Notice of the Special Record Date and of the scheduled
payment date of the past due interest (which shall be fifteen (15) days after the Special Record
Date) shall be sent at least five (5) business days prior to the Special Record Date by United
States mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder appearing on the Security
Register at the close of business on the last business day next preceding the date of mailing of
such notice.

Term Certificates due February 15, 2029
Redemption Date Principal Amount ($)
February 15, 2028 180,000
February 15, 2029* 185,000
•Stated maturity.
(b) Approximately forty-five (45) days prior to each mandatory redemption date for
the Term Certificates, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall select by lot the numbers of the Term
Certificates within the applicable Stated Maturity to be redeemed on the next following
February 15 from moneys set aside for that purpose in the Certificate Fund (as hereinafter
defined). Any Term Certificate not selected for prior redemption shall be paid on the date of
their Stated Maturity.
The principal amount of the Term Certificates for a Stated Maturity required to be
redeemed on a mandatory redemption date may be reduced, at the option of the City, by the
principal amount of Term Certificates of like Stated Maturity which, at least 50 days prior to the
mandatory redemption date, (1) shall have been acquired by the City at a price not exceeding
the principal amount of such Term Certificates plus accrued interest to the date of purchase
thereof, and delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation or (2) shall have been
redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption provisions set forth in paragraph (a) of this
Section and not theretofore credited against a mandatory redemption requirement.
(c) Optional Redemption. The Certificates having Stated Maturities on and after
February 15, 2026 shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the City, in
whole or in part in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (and if within a
Stated Maturity by lot by the Paying Agent/Registrar), on February 15, 2025, or on any date
thereafter at the redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.
(d) Exercise of Redemption Option. At least forty-five (45) days prior to an optional
redemption date for the Certificates (unless a shorter notification period shall be satisfactory to
the Paying Agent/Registrar), the City shall notify the Paying Agent/Registrar of the decision to
redeem Certificates, the principal amount of each Stated Maturity to be redeemed, and the date
of redemption therefor. The decision of the City to exercise the right to redeem Certificates shall
be entered in the minutes of the governing body of the City.
(e) Selection of Certificates for Redemption. If less than all Outstanding Certificates
of the same Stated Maturity are to be redeemed on a redemption date, the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall treat such Certificates as representing the number of Certificates
Outstanding which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Certificates by $5,000
and shall select the Certificates to be redeemed within such Stated Maturity by lot.
(f) Notice of Redemption. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to a redemption date
for the Certificates, a notice of redemption shall be sent by United States Mail, first class
postage prepaid, in the name of the City and at the City's expense, to each Holder of a
Certificate to be redeemed in whole or in part at the address of the Holder appearing on the
Security Register at the close of business on the business day next preceding the date of
mailing such notice, and any notice of redemption so mailed shall be conclusively presumed to
have been duly given irrespective of whether received by the Holder.
60530807.3/11509724 4
All notices of redemption shall (i) specify the date of redemption for the Certificates,
(ii) identify the Certificates to be redeemed and, in the case of a portion of the principal amount
to be redeemed, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, (iii) state the redemption price,
(iv) state that the Certificates, or the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed,
shall become due and payable on the redemption date specified, and the interest thereon, or on
the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, shall cease to accrue from and after
the redemption date, and (v) specify that payment of the redemption price for the Certificates, or
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, shall be made at the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar only upon presentation and surrender
thereof by the Holder. If a Certificate is subject by its terms to prior redemption and has been
called for redemption and notice of redemption thereof has been duly given as hereinabove
provided, such Certificate (or the principal amount thereof to be redeemed) shall become due
and payable and interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the redemption date
therefor; provided moneys sufficient for the payment of such Certificate (or of the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed) at the then applicable redemption price are held for the
purpose of such payment by the Paying Agent/Registrar.
(g) Conditional Notice of Redemption. With respect to any optional redemption of
the Certificates, unless moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on the Certificates to be redeemed shall have been received by the Paying
Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice may state that said
redemption is conditional upon the receipt of such moneys by the Paying Agent/Registrar on or
prior to the date fixed for such redemption, or upon the satisfaction of any prerequisites set forth
in such notice of redemption; and, if sufficient moneys are not received, such notice shall be of
no force and effect, the City shall not redeem such Certificates and the Paying Agent/Registrar
shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that
the Certificates have not been redeemed.
SECTION 5. Registration - Transfer - Exchange of Certificates - Predecessor
Certificates. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall obtain, record and maintain in the Security
Register the name and address of each and every owner of the Certificates issued under and
pursuant to the provisions of this Ordinance, or if appropriate, the nominee thereof. Any
Certificate may be transferred or exchanged for Certificates of other authorized denominations
by the Holder, in person or by his duly authorized agent, upon surrender of such Certificate to
the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer or
request for exchange duly executed by the Holder or by his duly authorized agent, in form
satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar.
Upon surrender of any Certificate (other than the single Initial Certificate authorized in
Section 8 hereof) for transfer at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying
Agent/Registrar, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall register and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates, executed on behalf of, and
furnished by the City, of authorized denominations and having the same Stated Maturity and of
a like aggregate principal amount as the Certificate or Certificates surrendered for transfer.
At the option of the Holder, Certificates (other than the single Initial Certificate authorized
in Section 8 hereof) may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations and
having the same Stated Maturity, bearing the same rate of interest and of like aggregate
principal amount as the Certificates surrendered for exchange, upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying
Agent/Registrar. Whenever any Certificates are surrendered for exchange, the Paying
60530807.3/11509724 5
Agent/Registrar shall register and deliver new Certificates, executed on behalf of, and furnished
by the City, to the Holder requesting the exchange.
All Certificates issued in any transfer or exchange of Certificates shall be delivered to the
Holders at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar or sent by
United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holders, and, upon the registration and
delivery thereof, the same shall be the valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same
obligation to pay, and entitled to the same benefits under this Ordinance, as the Certificates
surrendered in such transfer or exchange.
All transfers or exchanges of Certificates pursuant to this Section shall be made without
expense or service charge to the Holder, except as otherwise herein provided, and except that
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall require payment by the Holder requesting such transfer or
exchange of any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such
transfer or exchange.
Certificates cancelled by reason of an exchange or transfer pursuant to the provisions
hereof are hereby defined to be "Predecessor Certificates", evidencing all or a portion, as the
case may be, of the same obligation to pay evidenced by the new Certificate or Certificates
registered and delivered in the exchange or transfer therefor. Additionally, the term
"Predecessor Certificates" shall include any mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen Certificate for
which a replacement Certificate has been issued, registered and delivered in lieu thereof
pursuant to the provisions of Section 24 hereof and such new replacement Certificate shall be
deemed to evidence the same obligation as the mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen Certificate.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue or transfer to
an assignee of a Holder any Certificate called for redemption, in whole or in part, within forty-five
(45) days of the date fixed for the redemption of such Certificate; provided, however, such
limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Holder of the
unredeemed balance of a Certificate called for redemption in part.
SECTION 6. Book-Entry-Only Transfers and Transactions. Notwithstanding the
provisions contained in Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof relating to the payment, and
transfer/exchange of the Certificates, the City hereby approves and authorizes the use of"Book-
Entry-Only" securities clearance, settlement and transfer system provided by The Depository
Trust Company (DTC), a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of
New York, in accordance with the operational arrangements referenced in the Blanket Issuer
Letter of Representation, by and between the City and DTC (the "Depository Agreement").
Pursuant to the Depository Agreement and the rules of DTC, the Certificates shall be
deposited with DTC who shall hold said Certificates for its participants (the "DTC Participants").
While the Certificates are held by DTC under the Depository Agreement, the Holder of the
Certificates on the Security Register for all purposes, including payment and notices, shall be
Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, notwithstanding the ownership of each actual purchaser or
owner of each Certificate (the "Beneficial Owners") being recorded in the records of DTC and
DTC Participants.
In the event DTC determines to discontinue serving as securities depository for the
Certificates or otherwise ceases to provide book-entry clearance and settlement of securities
transactions in general or the City determines that DTC is incapable of properly discharging its
duties as securities depository for the Certificates, the City covenants and agrees with the
60530807.3/11509724 6
Holders of the Certificates to cause Certificates to be printed in definitive form and issued and
delivered to DTC Participants and Beneficial Owners, as the case may be. Thereafter, the
Certificates in definitive form shall be assigned, transferred and exchanged on the Security
Register maintained by the Paying Agent/Registrar and payment of such Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof.
SECTION 7. Execution - Registration. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of
the City by the Mayor under its seal reproduced or impressed thereon and countersigned by the
City Secretary. The signature of said officers and the seal of the City on the Certificates may be
manual or facsimile. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
are or were the proper officers of the City on the Certificate Date shall be deemed to be duly
executed on behalf of the City, notwithstanding that one or more of the individuals executing the
same shall cease to be such officer at the time of delivery of the Certificates to the initial
purchaser(s) and with respect to Certificates delivered in subsequent exchanges and transfers,
all as authorized and provided in Texas Government Code, Chapter 1201, as amended.
No Certificate shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this Ordinance, or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate either a certificate of
registration substantially in the form provided in Section 9(c), manually executed by the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, or his duly authorized agent, or a
certificate of registration substantially in the form provided in Section 9(d), manually executed by
an authorized officer, employee or representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and either such
certificate duly signed upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Certificate has been duly certified, registered and delivered.
Notwithstanding the above and foregoing paragraph, both certificates of registration
appearing in Section 9(c) and Section 9(d) shall be printed on the Initial Certificate(s) authorized
for delivery to the initial purchasers in Section 8, and both such certifications shall be required to
be manually executed in connection with the delivery of the Initial Certificate(s) to the initial
purchaser. Upon the delivery of the Initial Certificate(s) to the initial purchaser with both such
certificates of registration properly executed, the Initial Certificate(s) shall be deemed duly
certified, registered and delivered by the City.
SECTION 8. Initial Certificate(s). The Certificates herein authorized shall be initially
issued either (i) as a single fully registered certificate in the total principal amount shown in
Section 1 hereof with principal installments to become due and payable as provided in Section 2
hereof and numbered T-1, or (ii) as multiple fully registered certificates, being one certificate for
each year of maturity in the applicable principal amount and denomination and to be numbered
consecutively from T-1 and upward (hereinafter called the "Initial Certificate(s)") and, in either
case, the Initial Certificate(s) shall be registered in the name of the initial purchaser(s) or the
designee thereof. The Initial Certificate(s) shall be the Certificates submitted to the Office of the
Attorney General of the State of Texas for approval, certified and registered by the Office of the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas and delivered to the initial purchaser(s).
Any time after the delivery of the Initial Certificate(s), the Paying Agent/Registrar, pursuant to
written instructions from the initial purchaser(s), or the designee thereof, shall cancel the Initial
Certificate(s) delivered hereunder and exchange therefor definitive Certificates of authorized
denominations, Stated Maturities, principal amounts and bearing applicable interest rates for
transfer and delivery to the Holders named at the addresses identified therefor; all pursuant to
and in accordance with such written instructions from the initial purchaser(s), or the designee
thereof, and such other information and documentation as the Paying Agent/Registrar may
reasonably require.
60530807.3/11509724 7
SECTION 9. Forms.

of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, the Registration Certificate of Paying Agent/Registrar,
and the form of Assignment to appear on each of the Certificates, shall be substantially in the
forms set forth in this Section with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as are permitted or required by this Ordinance and may have such letters, numbers or

maturities thereof, are purchased with insurance) and any reproduction of an opinion of counsel

conformity with the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, particularly Texas Local
Government Code, Subchapter C of Chapter 271, as amended, and pursuant to an Ordinance
adopted by the governing body of the City (herein referred to as the "Ordinance").

maturity at the price of par and accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption, and without

The particular Term Certificates of a stated maturity to be redeemed on each redemption
date shall be chosen by lot by the Paying Agent/Registrar; provided, however, that the principal
amount of Term Certificates for a stated maturity required to be redeemed on a mandatory
redemption date may be reduced, at the option of the City, by the principal amount of Term
Certificates of like stated maturity which, at least 50 days prior to the mandatory redemption
date, (1) shall have been acquired by the City at a price not exceeding the principal amount of
such Term Certificates plus accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to

such Certificate to the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and a
new Certificate or Certificates of like maturity and interest rate in any authorized denominations

whole or in part, the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to transfer such
Certificate to an assignee of the registered owner within forty-five (45) days of the redemption
date therefor; provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an
exchange by the registered owner of the unredeemed balance of a Certificate redeemed in part.
With respect to any optional redemption of the Certificates, unless moneys sufficient to
pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates to be redeemed shall
have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of
redemption, such notice may state that said redemption is conditional upon the receipt of such

the satisfaction of any prerequisites set forth in such notice of redemption; and, if sufficient
moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the City shall not redeem
such Certificates and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall give notice, in the manner in which the
notice of redemption was given, to the effect that the Certificates have not been redeemed.

the Net Revenues (as defined in the Ordinance) of the City's combined Waterworks and

Certificates being limited to an amount of $1,000 and, together with a parity pledge securing the
payment of the Previously Issued Certificates (identified and defined in the Ordinance), being
junior and subordinate to the lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues securing the payment of

conditions or restrictions as may be applicable thereto under law or otherwise, as well as the
right to issue Additional Obligations (identified and defined in the Ordinance) payable from the
same sources as the Certificates and, together with the Certificates, equally and ratably secured
by a parity lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System.

maturity of this Certificate, and this Certificate deemed to be no longer Outstanding thereunder;
and for the other terms and provisions contained therein. Capitalized terms used herein and not

the payment of such interest have been received from the City. Notice of the Special Record
Date and of the scheduled payment date of the past due interest (which shall be fifteen (15)
days after the Special Record Date) shall be sent at least five (5) business days prior to the
Special Record Date by United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address of each
Registered Owner appearing on the Security Register at the close of business on the last
business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice.
It is hereby certified, recited, represented and covenanted that the City is a body
corporate and political subdivision duly organized and legally existing under and by virtue of the
Constitution and laws of the State of Texas; that the issuance of the Certificates is duly
authorized by law; that all acts, conditions and things required to exist and be done precedent to
and in the issuance of the Certificates to render the same lawful and valid obligations of the City
have been properly done, have happened and have been performed in regular and due time,
form and manner as required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and the
Ordinance; that the Certificates do not exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation; and that
due provision has been made for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Certificates
by the levy of a tax and a pledge of a limited amount of the Net Revenues of the System as
aforestated. In case any provision in this Certificate or any application hereof shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions and
applications shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The terms and provisions of
this Certificate and the Ordinance shall be construed in accordance with and shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Texas.

a sinking fund for the payment, redemption and retirement of the Certificates, there shall be and
is hereby created a special Fund to be designated "SPECIAL SERIES 2015 TAX AND
REVENUE CERTIFICATE OF OBLIGATION FUND" (the "Certificate Fund"), which Certificate
Fund shall be kept and maintained at the depository bank of the City, and moneys deposited in
said Certificate Fund shall be used for no other purpose. The Mayor, Mayor Pro Tern, City
Manager, Deputy City Manager, Director of Finance, Assistant Director of Finance, and City
Secretary of the City, individually or collectively, are hereby authorized and directed to cause to
be transferred to the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Certificates, from funds on deposit in the
Certificate Fund, amounts sufficient to fully pay and discharge promptly each installment of
interest and principal of the Certificates as the same accrues or matures; such transfers of funds
to be made in such manner as will cause immediately available funds to be deposited with the
Paying Agent/Registrar for the Certificates at the close of business on the last business day
next preceding each interest and/or principal payment date for the Certificates.
Pending the transfer of funds to the Paying Agent/Registrar, money in the Certificate
Fund may, at the option of the City, be invested in obligations identified in, and in accordance
with the City's Investment Policy, as the same may be amended from time to time and the
provisions of the "Public Funds Investment Act" (Texas Government Code, Chapter 2256, as
amended) relating to the investment of "bond proceeds"; provided that all such investments
shall be made in such a manner that the money required to be expended from said Fund will be
available at the proper time or times. All interest and income derived from deposits and
investments in said Certificate Fund shall be credited to, and any losses debited to, the said
Certificate Fund. All such investments shall be sold promptly when necessary to prevent any
default in connection with the Certificates.
The City has sufficient current funds available to pay the interest payment to become
due on the Certificates on August 15, 2016, and there will be deposited in the Certificate Fund
(created for the payment of the Certificates) such amount of current funds which, together with
accrued interest received from the purchaser of the Bonds, will be sufficient to pay the amounts
to become due on the Certificates on August 15, 2016.
SECTION 12. Tax Levy. To provide for the payment of the "Debt Service
Requirements" on the Certificates, being (i) the interest on said Certificates and (ii) a sinking
fund for their redemption at maturity or a sinking fund of 2% (whichever amount shall be the
greater), there shall be and there is hereby levied, within the limitations prescribed by law, for
the current year and each succeeding year thereafter while said Certificates or any interest
thereon shall remain Outstanding, a sufficient tax on each one hundred dollars' valuation of
taxable property in the City, adequate to pay such Debt Service Requirements, full allowance
60530807.3/11509724 18
being made for delinquencies and costs of collection; said tax shall be assessed and collected
each year and applied to the payment of the Debt Service Requirements, and the same shall
not be diverted to any other purpose. The taxes so levied and collected shall be deposited into
the Certificate Fund. This governing body hereby declares its purpose and intent to provide and
levy a tax legally and fully sufficient to pay the Debt Service Requirements, it having been
determined that the existing and available taxing authority of the City for such purpose is
adequate to permit a legally sufficient tax in consideration of all other outstanding indebtedness.
The amount of taxes to be provided annually for the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Certificates herein authorized to be issued shall be determined and
accomplished in the following manner:
(a) Prior to the date the City Council establishes the annual tax rate and passes an
ordinance levying ad valorem taxes each year, the City Council shall determine:
(1) The amount on deposit in the Certificate Fund after
(a) deducting therefrom the total amount of Debt Service Requirements to
become due on the Certificates prior to the Collection Date for the ad
valorem taxes to be levied and (b) adding thereto the amount of Net
Revenues of the System appropriated and allocated to pay such Debt
Service Requirements prior to the Collection Date for the ad valorem
taxes to be levied.
(2) The amount of Net Revenues, if any, appropriated and to
be set aside for the payment of the Debt Service Requirements on the
Certificates between the Collection Date for the taxes then to be levied
and the Collection Date for the taxes to be levied during the next
succeeding calendar year.
(3) The amount of Debt Service Requirements to become due
and payable on the Certificates between the Collection Date for the taxes
then to be levied and the Collection Date for the taxes to be levied during
the next succeeding calendar year.
(b) The amount of taxes to be levied annually each year to pay the Debt Service
Requirements on the Certificates shall be the amount established in paragraph (3) above less
the sum total of the amounts established in paragraphs (1) and (2), after taking into
consideration delinquencies and costs of collecting such annual taxes.
SECTION 13. Limited Pledge of Net Revenues. The City hereby covenants and agrees
that subject to the prior lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues to the payment and security of
the Prior Lien Obligations, the Net Revenues of the System in the amount of $1,000 are hereby
irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Certificates, and the
limited pledge of $1,000 of the Net Revenues of the System herein made for the payment of the
Certificates shall constitute a lien on the Net Revenues of the System in accordance with the
terms and provisions hereof, and shall be on a parity in all respects with the lien on the Net
Revenues securing the payment of the Previously Issued Certificates and Additional
Obligations, if issued. Furthermore, such lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues securing the
payment of the Certificates shall constitute a lien on the Net Revenues of the System until such
time as the City shall pay all of such $1,000, after which time the pledge shall cease, all in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof and be valid and binding without further action
60530807.3/11509724 19
by the City and without any filing or recording except for the filing of this Ordinance in the
records of the City.
Texas Government Code, Chapter 1208, as amended, applies to the issuance of the
Certificates and the pledge of the revenues granted by the City under this Section of this
Ordinance, 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
revenues granted by the City under this Section of this Ordinance is to be subject to the filing
requirements of Texas Business and Commerce Code, Chapter 9, as amended, then in order to
preserve to the Holders 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 Texas Business and Commerce Code,
Chapter 9, as amended, and enable a filing to perfect the security interest in said pledge to
occur.
SECTION 14. System Fund. The City hereby covenants and agrees that all gross
revenues of the System (excluding earnings from the investment of money held in any special
funds or accounts created for the payment and security of Prior Lien Obligations) shall be
deposited from day to day as collected into a "System Fund" (hereinafter called the "System
Fund") which System Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds, accounts and
moneys of the City, and shall be maintained at an official depository bank of the City. All
moneys deposited in the System Fund shall be pledged and appropriated to the extent required
for the following purposes and in the order of priority shown, to wit:
First. To the payment of all necessary and reasonable
maintenance and operating expenses of the System as defined herein or
required by statute to be a first charge on and claim against the revenues
thereof,
Second. To the payment of all amounts required to be deposited
in the special Funds created and established for the payment, security
and benefit of Prior Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the ordinances authorizing the issuance of Prior Lien
Obligations.
Third. To the payment, equally and ratably, of the limited
amounts pledged to the payment of the Certificates and Additional
Obligations, if issued, provided however, at such time as the City shall
pay the Net Revenues pledged to the payment of the Certificates, such
pledge being limited to $1,000, such pledge shall cease.
Fourth.Equally and ratably, to the payment of the amounts
pledged to the payment of the outstanding "City of Euless, Texas, Tax
and Waterworks and Sewer System (Limited Pledge) Revenue
Certificates of Obligation, Series 2011", and "City of Euless, Texas, Tax
and Waterworks and Sewer System (Limited Pledge) Revenue
Certificates of Obligation, Series 2014".
Any Net Revenues remaining in the System Fund after satisfying the foregoing
payments, or making adequate and sufficient provision for the payment thereof, may be
appropriated and used for any other City purpose now or hereafter permitted by law.
60530807.3/11509724 20
SECTION 15. Deposits to Certificate Fund. The City hereby covenants and agrees to
cause to be deposited in the Certificate Fund from the pledged Net Revenues in the System
Fund, the amount of $1,000.
The City covenants and agrees that the amount of pledged Net Revenues ($1,000),
together with ad valorem taxes levied, collected and deposited in the Certificate Fund for and on
behalf of the Certificates, will be an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount
required to fully pay the interest and principal due and payable on the Certificates. In addition,
any surplus proceeds from the sale of the Certificates not expended for authorized purposes
shall be deposited in the Certificate Fund, or another fund created for the payment of the
principal of and interest on any Certificate, and such amounts so deposited shall reduce the
sums otherwise required to be deposited in the Certificate Fund from ad valorem taxes and the
Net Revenues.
SECTION 16. Security of Funds. All moneys on deposit in the Funds for which this
Ordinance makes provision (except any portion thereof as may be at any time properly
invested) shall be secured in the manner and to the fullest extent required by the laws of the
State of Texas for the security of public funds, and moneys on deposit in such Funds shall be
used only for the purposes permitted by this Ordinance.
SECTION 17. Special Covenants. The City hereby further covenants as follows:
(a) It has the lawful power to pledge the Net Revenues of the System
supporting this issue of Certificates and has lawfully exercised said powers under the
Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, including said power existing under Texas
Local Government Code, Subchapter C of Chapter 271, as amended, and Texas
Government Code, Chapter 1502, as amended.
(b) Other than for the payment of any Prior Lien Obligations, the outstanding
Previously Issued Certificates, and the Certificates, the Net Revenues of the System
have not in any manner been pledged to the payment of any debt or obligation of the
City or of the System.
SECTION 18. Issuance of Prior Lien Obligations and Additional Obligations. The City
hereby expressly reserves the right to hereafter issue Prior Lien Obligations, without limitation
as to principal amount, but subject to any terms, conditions or restrictions applicable thereto
under law or otherwise. Prior Lien Obligations hereafter issued may be payable, in whole or in
part, from the Net Revenues (without impairment of the obligation of contract with the Holders of
the Certificates) upon such terms and conditions as the City Council may determine.
In addition, the City reserves the right to issue Additional Obligations, without limitation
or any restriction or condition being applicable to their issuance under the terms of this
Ordinance, payable from and secured by a lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the
System of equal rank and dignity, and on a parity in all respects, with the lien thereon and
pledge thereof securing the payment of the Previously Issued Certificates and the Certificates.
SECTION 19. Subordinate to Prior Lien Obligations, Covenants and Agreements. It is
the intention of this governing body and accordingly hereby recognized and stipulated that the
provisions, agreements and covenants contained herein bearing upon the management and
operations of the System and the administering and application of revenues derived from the
operation thereof, shall to the extent possible be harmonized with like provisions, agreements
60530807.3/11509724 21
and covenants contained in the ordinances authorizing the issuance of the Prior Lien
Obligations, and to the extent of any irreconcilable conflict between the provisions contained
herein and in the ordinances authorizing the issuance of the Prior Lien Obligations, the
provisions, agreements and covenants contained therein shall prevail to the extent of such
conflict and be applicable to this Ordinance but in all respects subject to the priority of rights and
benefits, if any, conferred thereby to the holders or owners of the Prior Lien Obligations.
Notwithstanding the above, any change or modification affecting the application of revenues
derived from the operation of the System shall not impair the obligation of contract with respect
to the pledge of revenues herein made for the payment and security of the Certificates.
SECTION 20. Satisfaction of Obligation of City. If the City shall pay or cause to be paid,
or there shall otherwise be paid to the Holders, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Certificates, at the times and in the manner stipulated in this Ordinance, then the pledge of
taxes levied and the lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System under this
Ordinance and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the City to the Holders shall
thereupon cease, terminate and be discharged and satisfied.
Certificates shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the effect
expressed above in this Section when (i) money sufficient to pay in full such Certificates or the
principal amount(s) thereof at maturity or the redemption date therefor, together with all interest
due thereon, shall have been irrevocably deposited with and held in trust by the Paying
Agent/Registrar, or an authorized escrow agent, or (ii) Government Securities shall have been
irrevocably deposited in trust with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or an authorized escrow agent,
which Government Securities have been certified by an independent accounting firm to mature
as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability,
without reinvestment, of sufficient money, together with any moneys deposited therewith, if any,
to pay when due the principal of and interest on such Certificates, or the principal amount(s)
thereof, on and prior to the Stated Maturity thereof or, if notice of redemption has been duly
given or waived or if irrevocable arrangements therefor acceptable to the Paying
Agent/Registrar have been made, the redemption date thereof. The City covenants that no
deposit of moneys or Government Securities will be made under this Section and no use will be
made of any such deposit which would cause the Certificates to be treated as "arbitrage bonds"
within the meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or
regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
Any moneys so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or an authorized escrow
agent, and all income from Government Securities held in trust by the Paying Agent/Registrar,
or an authorized escrow agent, pursuant to this Section which is not required for the payment of
the Certificates, or any principal amount(s) thereof, or interest thereon with respect to which
such moneys have been so deposited, shall be remitted to the City or deposited as directed by
the City. Furthermore, any money held by the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Certificates and remaining unclaimed for a period of three (3)
years after the Stated Maturity, or applicable redemption date, of the Certificates such moneys
were deposited and are held in trust to pay shall, upon the request of the City, be remitted to the
City against a written receipt therefor. Notwithstanding the above and foregoing, any remittance
of funds from the Paying Agent/Registrar to the City shall be subject to any applicable
unclaimed property laws of the State of Texas.
SECTION 21. Ordinance a Contract - Amendments. This Ordinance shall constitute a
contract with the Holders from time to time, be binding on the City, and shall not be amended or
repealed by the City so long as any Certificate remains Outstanding except as permitted in this

Section and in Section 28 hereof. The City may, without the consent of or notice to any Holders
of the Certificates, from time to time and at any time, amend this Ordinance in any manner not
detrimental to the interests of the Holders of the Certificates, including the curing of any
ambiguity, inconsistency or formal defect or omission herein. In addition, the City may, with the
written consent of Holders of the Certificates holding a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Certificates then Outstanding affected thereby, amend, add to or rescind any of the
provisions of this Ordinance; provided that, without the consent of all Holders of Outstanding
Certificates, no such amendment, addition or rescission shall (1) extend the time or times of
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates, reduce the principal
amount thereof, or the rate of interest thereon, or in any other way modify the terms of payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Certificates, (2) give any preference to any
Certificate over any other Certificate, or (3) reduce the aggregate principal amount of
Certificates required to be held by Holders for consent to any such amendment, addition or
rescission.
SECTION 22. Notices to Holders - Waivers. Wherever this Ordinance provides for

expressly provided) if in writing and sent by United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to
the address of each Holder appearing in the Security Register at the close of business on the
business day next preceding the mailing of such notice.
In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such
notice to any particular Holders, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to all other Certificates. Where this Ordinance provides
for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Holder entitled to receive
such notice, either before or after the event with respect to which such notice is given, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with
the Paying Agent/Registrar, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of
any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
SECTION 23. Cancellation. Certificates surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer
or exchange, if surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar, shall be promptly cancelled by it and,
if surrendered to the City, shall be delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar and, if not already
cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by the Paying Agent/Registrar. The City may at any time
deliver to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation any Certificates previously certified or
registered and delivered which the City may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all
Certificates so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Paying Agent/Registrar. All
cancelled Certificates held by the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be returned to the City.
SECTION 24. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Certificates. In case any Certificate
shall be mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Paying Agent/Registrar may execute and
deliver a replacement Certificate of like form and tenor, and in the same denomination and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for such
mutilated Certificate, or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate,
only upon the approval of the City and after (i) the filing by the Holder thereof with the Paying
Agent/Registrar of evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar of the destruction, loss or
theft of such Certificate, and of the authenticity of the ownership thereof and (ii) the furnishing to
the Paying Agent/Registrar of indemnification in an amount satisfactory to hold the City and the
Paying Agent/Registrar harmless. All expenses and charges associated with such indemnity
and with the preparation, execution and delivery of a replacement Certificate shall be borne by
the Holder of the Certificate mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen.
60530807.3/11509724 23
Every replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall be a valid and
binding obligation, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and ratably
with all other Outstanding Certificates, notwithstanding the enforceability of payment by anyone
of the destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement and payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Certificates.
SECTION 25. Covenants to Maintain Tax-Exempt Status.
(a) Definitions. When used in this Section, the following terms have the following
meanings:
"Closing Date" means the date on which the Certificates are first
authenticated and delivered to the initial purchasers against payment therefor.
"Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended by all
legislation, if any, effective on or before the Closing Date.
"Computation Date" has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-1(b) of the
Regulations.
"Gross Proceeds" means any proceeds as defined in Section 1.148-1(b)
of the Regulations, and any replacement proceeds as defined in Section 1.148-
1(c) of the Regulations, of the Certificates.
"Investment" has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-1(b) of the
Regulations.
"Nonpurpose Investment" means any investment property, as defined in
Section 148(b) of the Code, in which Gross Proceeds of the Certificates are
invested and which is not acquired to carry out the governmental purposes of the
Certificates.
"Rebate Amount" has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-1(b) of the
Regulations.
"Regulations" means any proposed, temporary or final Income Tax
Regulations issued pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code,
and 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, which are applicable to the
Certificates. Any reference to any specific Regulation shall also mean, as
appropriate, any proposed, temporary or final Income Tax Regulation designed
to supplement, amend or replace the specific Regulation referenced.
"Yield" of (1) any Investment has the meaning set forth in Section 1.148-5

of, or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any other amounts (or any property the acquisition,
60530807.3/11509724 24
construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross
Proceeds) in a manner which if made or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on any
Certificate to become includable in the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of
the Holder thereof for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, unless and until the City receives a written opinion of counsel nationally recognized in
the field of municipal bond law to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not
adversely affect the exemption from federal income tax of the interest on any Certificate, the
City shall comply with each of the specific covenants in this Section.
(c) No Private Use or Private Payments. Except as permitted by Section 141 of the
Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall at all times prior to the last
Stated Maturity of Certificates:
(1) exclusively own, operate and possess all property the
acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed or
refinanced directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds of the Certificates,
and not use or permit the use of such Gross Proceeds (including all
contractual arrangements with terms different than those applicable to the
general public) or any property acquired, constructed or improved with
such Gross Proceeds in any activity carried on by any person or entity
(including the United States or any agency, department and
instrumentality thereof) other than a state or local government, unless
such use is solely as a member of the general public; and
(2) not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or
other payment by any person or entity who is treated as using Gross
Proceeds of the Certificates or any property the acquisition, construction
or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or
indirectly with such Gross Proceeds, other than taxes of general
application within the City or interest earned on investments acquired with
such Gross Proceeds pending application for their intended purposes.
(d) No Private Loan. Except to the extent permitted by Section 141 of the Code and
the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not use Gross Proceeds of the
Certificates to make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local
government. For purposes of the foregoing covenant, such Gross Proceeds are considered to
be "loaned" to a person or entity if: (1) property acquired, constructed or improved with such
Gross Proceeds is sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction which creates a debt
for federal income tax purposes; (2) capacity in or service from such property is committed to
such person or entity under a take-or-pay, output or similar contract or arrangement; or (3)
indirect benefits, or burdens and benefits of ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or any property
acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds are otherwise transferred in a
transaction which is the economic equivalent of a loan.
(e) Not to Invest at Higher Yield. Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not at any time prior to the
final Stated Maturity of the Certificates directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds in any
Investment (or use Gross Proceeds to replace money so invested), if as a result of such
investment the Yield from the Closing Date of all Investments acquired with Gross Proceeds (or
with money replaced thereby), whether then held or previously disposed of, exceeds the Yield of
the Certificates.
60530807.3/11509724 25
(f) Not Federally Guaranteed. Except to the extent permitted by Section 149(b) of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not take or omit to take any
action which would cause the Certificates to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of
Section 149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(g) Information Report. The City shall timely file the information required by Section
149(e) of the Code with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038-G or such other form and
in such place as the Secretary may prescribe.
(h) Rebate of Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section
148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder:
(1) The City shall account for all Gross Proceeds (including all
receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) on its books of account
separately and apart from all other funds (and receipts, expenditures and
investments thereof) and shall retain all records of accounting for at least
six years after the day on which the last outstanding Certificate is
discharged. However, to the extent permitted by law, the City may
commingle Gross Proceeds of the Certificates with other money of the
City, provided that the City separately accounts for each receipt and
expenditure of Gross Proceeds and the obligations acquired therewith.
(2) Not less frequently than each Computation Date, the City
shall calculate the Rebate Amount in accordance with rules set forth in
Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
The City shall maintain such calculations with its official transcript of
proceedings relating to the issuance of the Certificates until six years after
the final Computation Date.
(3) As additional consideration for the purchase of the
Certificates by the Purchaser and the loan of the money represented
thereby, and in order to induce such purchase by measures designed to
insure the excludability of the interest thereon from the gross income of
the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, the City shall pay to
the United States out of the Certificate Fund or its general fund, as
permitted by applicable Texas statute, regulation or opinion of the
Attorney General of the State of Texas, the amount that when added to
the future value of previous rebate payments made for the Certificates
equals (i) in the case of a Final Computation Date as defined in Section
1.148-3(e)(2) of the Regulations, one hundred percent (100%) of the
Rebate Amount on such date; and (ii) in the case of any other
Computation Date, ninety percent (90%) of the Rebate Amount on such
date. In all cases, the rebate payments shall be made at the times, in the
installments, to the place and in the manner as is or may be required by
Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder,
and shall be accompanied by Form 8038-T or such other forms and
information as is or may be required by Section 148(f) of the Code and
the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(4) The City shall exercise reasonable diligence to assure that
no errors are made in the calculations and payments required by
60530807.3/11509724 26
paragraphs (2) and (3) and, if an error is made, to discover and promptly
correct such error within a reasonable amount of time thereafter (and in
all events within one hundred eighty (180) days after discovery of the
error), including payment to the United States of any additional Rebate
Amount owed to it, interest thereon, and any penalty imposed under
Section 1.148-3(h) of the Regulations.
(i) Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not, at any time prior to the
earlier of the Stated Maturity or final payment of the Certificates, enter into any transaction that
reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to Subsection (h) of this
Section because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have
resulted if the transaction had been at arm's length and had the Yield of the Certificates not
been relevant to either party.
(j) Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tern,
City Manager, Deputy City Manager, Director of Finance, and Assistant Director of Finance,
either or any combination of them, to make elections permitted or required pursuant to the
provisions of the Code or the Regulations, as they deem necessary or appropriate in connection
with the Certificates, in the Certificate as to Tax Exemption or similar or other appropriate
certificate, form or document.
SECTION 26. Sale of the Certificates — Official Statement Approval. Pursuant to a
public sale for the Certificates, the bid submitted by Fidelity Capital Markets, on behalf of itself
and the other syndicate members (the "Purchasers"), is declared to be the best bid received
producing the lowest true interest cost rate to the City, and the sale of the Certificates to the
Purchasers at the price of par plus accrued interest, if any, and a net cash premium of
$114,815.50, is hereby determined to be in the best interests of the City and is approved and
confirmed. Delivery of the Certificates to the Purchasers shall occur as soon as possible upon
payment being made therefor in accordance with the terms of sale. The Initial Certificate shall
be registered in the name National Financial Services LLC.
Furthermore, the use of the Preliminary Official Statement by the Purchasers in
connection with the public offering and sale of the Certificates is hereby ratified, confirmed and
approved in all respects. The final Official Statement, which reflects the terms of sale (together

said officials), shall be and is hereby in all respects approved and the Purchasers is hereby
authorized to use and distribute said final Official Statement, dated October 27, 2015, in the
reoffering, sale, and delivery of the Certificates to the public. The Mayor and City Secretary are

copies of said Official Statement in final form as may be required by the Purchasers, and such
final Official Statement in the form and content manually executed by said officials shall be
deemed to be approved by the City Council and constitute the Official Statement authorized for
distribution and use by the Purchasers.
SECTION 27. Proceeds of Sale. Immediately following the delivery of the Certificates,
the proceeds of sale, less amounts to pay costs of issuance, shall be deposited to the credit of
the construction fund maintained at a depository bank of the City, and the balance of the
proceeds of sale of the Certificates shall be expended to pay costs of issuance. Pending
expenditure for authorized projects and purposes, Certificate proceeds may be invested in
60530807.3/11509724 27
authorized investments and any investment earnings realized shall be expended for such
authorized projects and purposes or, in the event such projects have been completed,
deposited in the Certificate Fund. Any surplus proceeds of sale of the Certificates, including
investment earnings, remaining after completion of all authorized projects or purposes shall be
disbursed for payment of costs of issuance or deposited to the credit of the Certificate Fund.

Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments. The City shall be obligated to observe and
perform the covenants specified in this Section for so long as, but only for so long as, the City
remains an "obligated person" with respect to the Certificates within the meaning of the Rule,
except that the City in any event will give the notice required by Subsection (c) of this Section of
any Certificate calls and defeasance that cause the City to be no longer such an "obligated
person."
The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the Holders and beneficial
owners of the Certificates; and, nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit
or any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder to any other person. The City
undertakes to provide only the financial information, operating data, financial statements, and
notices which it has expressly agreed to provide pursuant to this Section. Except as expressly
provided within this Section, the City does not undertake to provide any other information,

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE CITY BE LIABLE TO THE HOLDER OR
BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY CERTIFICATE OR ANY OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR
TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE
CITY, WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT
SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, BUT EVERY RIGHT AND REMEDY OF ANY SUCH PERSON,
IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR OR ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH BREACH SHALL BE
LIMITED TO AN ACTION FOR MANDAMUS OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.
No default by the City in observing or performing its obligations under this Section shall
constitute a breach of or default under this Ordinance for purposes of any other provision of this
Ordinance.
Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise limit the
duties of the City under federal and state securities laws.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section may be
amended by the City from time to time to adapt to changed circumstances resulting from a
change in legal requirements, a change in law, or a change in the identity, nature, status, or
type of operations of the City, 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 to the date of such amendment, as well as such changed
circumstances, and (2) either (a) the Holders 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 City (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determines that such
amendment will not materially impair the interests of the Holders and beneficial owners of the
Certificates. The provisions of this Section may also be amended from time to time or repealed
by the City if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable provisions of the Rule or a court of final
jurisdiction determines that such provisions are invalid, but only if and to the extent that
reservation of the City's right to do so would not prevent underwriters of the initial public offering
of the Certificates from lawfully purchasing or selling Certificates in such offering. If the City so
60530807.3/11509724 30
amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include with any amended financial information or
operating data next provided pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section an explanation, in
narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of
financial information or operating data so provided.

Texas or his representative to obtain the approval of the Certificates by the Attorney General
and if such officer or counsel determines that such changes are consistent with the intent and
purpose of the Ordinance, which determination shall be final. In the event that any officer of the
City whose signature shall appear on any document shall cease to be such officer before the
delivery of such document, such signature nevertheless shall be valid and sufficient for all
purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery.
SECTION 31. Bond Counsel's Opinion. The Purchaser's obligation to accept delivery of
the Certificates is subject to being furnished a final opinion of Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, Dallas,

thereof shall be printed on the definitive Certificates in the event the book-entry-only system
shall be discontinued.
SECTION 32. CUSIP Numbers. CUSIP numbers may be printed or typed on the

thereof, and neither the City nor attorneys approving said Certificates as to legality are to be
held responsible for CUSIP numbers incorrectly printed or typed on the definitive Certificates.
