required to issue or transfer to an assignee of a Holder any
Certificate called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45

of a Certificate called for redemption in part.

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.

depository for the Certificates, the City covenants and agrees
with the Holders of the Certificates to cause Certificates to be
printed in definitive form and provide for the Certificate
certificates to be 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

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

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 9D,
manually executed by an authorized officer, employee or

an authorized escrow agent, and all income from Government

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

not use, permit the use of, or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any
other amounts (or any property the acquisition, 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 owner 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

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:
0284459 -28-
(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

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

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
-29-
Proceeds (or with money replaced thereby) , whether then held or
previously disposed of, exceeds the Yield of the Certificates.
(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 Purchasers 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
-30-
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 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, City Secretary, City Manager and Director of Finance,
individually or jointly, 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,
