firmed, and the City agrees and covenants to cause to be

for the registration, payment and transfer of the Bonds, all
as provided herein, in accordance with the terms and provi-
sions of a "Paying Agent /Registrar Agreement" and such
reasonable rules and regulations as the Paying
Agent /Registrar and City may prescribe. The City
covenants to maintain and provide a Paying Agent /Registrar
at all times until the Bonds are paid and discharged, and
any successor Paying Agent /Registrar shall be a bank, trust
company, financial institution or other entity duly quali-
fied and legally authorized to serve as and perform the
duties and services of Paying Agent /Registrar. Upon any
change in the Paying Agent /Registrar for the Bonds, the City
agrees to promptly cause a written notice thereof to be sent
to each registered owner of the Bonds by United States Mail,
first class postage prepaid, which notice shall also give
the address of the new Paying Agent /Registrar.

on the Bonds, due and payable by reason of maturity, redemp-
tion, or otherwise, shall be payable only to the registered
owner or holder of the Bonds (hereinafter referred to as the
"Bondholder" or "Bondholders ") appearing on the Security
Register, and, to the extent permitted by law, neither the
City nor the Paying Agent /Registrar, or any agent of either,
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Principal of and premium, if any, on the Bonds,

postage prepaid, to the address of the registered owner
recorded in the Security Register or (ii) by such other
-3-

date for the payment of the principal of or interest on the
Bonds shall be a Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday, or a day
on which banking institutions in the City where the Paying
Agent /Registrar is located are authorized by law or
executive order to close, then the date for such payment
shall be the next succeeding day which is not such a
Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which banking
institutions are authorized to close; and payment on such
date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the
original date payment was due.
In the event of a non - payment of interest on a
scheduled payment date, and for thirty (30) days thereafter,
a new record date for such interest payment (a "Special
Record Date ") will be 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 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
Bondholder appearing on the Security Register at the close
of business on the last business day next preceding the date
of mailing of such notice.
SECTION 4: Redemption. (a) Optional Redemption.
The Bonds having Stated Maturities on and after May 15,
1997, shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity, at
the option of the City, on May 15, 1996 or on any interest
payment date thereafter, 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), at the redemption price of par plus
accrued interest to the date of redemption.
(b) Exercise of Redemption Option. At least
forty -five (45) days prior to a date set for the redemption
of Bonds (unless a shorter notification period shall be
satisfactory to the Paying Agent /Registrar), the City shall
notify the Paying Agent /Registrar of its decision to
exercise the right to redeem Bonds, the principal amount of
each Stated Maturity to be redeemed, and the date set for
the redemption thereof. The decision of the City to
exercise the right to redeem Bonds shall be entered in the
minutes of the governing body of the City.
ME
(c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If less
than all Outstanding Bonds of the same Stated Maturity are
to be redeemed on a redemption date, the Paying Agent/
Registrar shall select by lot, the Bonds to be
redeemed, provided that if less than the entire principal
amount of a Bond is to be redeemed, the Paying Agent/
Registrar shall treat such Bond then subject to redemption
as representing the number of Bonds Outstanding which is
obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond by
$5,000.
(d) Notice of Redemption. Not less than thirty
(30) days prior to a redemption date for the Bonds, 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 Bondholder of a Bond to be redeemed
in whole or in part at the address of the Bondholder appear-
ing 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 Bondholder.
All notices of redemption shall (i) specify the
date of redemption for the Bonds, (ii) identify the Bonds 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 Bonds, 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) speci-
fy that payment of the redemption price for the Bonds, or
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, shall be made
at the principal corporate office of the Paying Agent/
Registrar only upon presentation and surrender thereof by
the Bondholder. If a Bond is subject by its terms to prior
redemption and has been called for redemption and notice of
redemption thereof has been duly given or waived as herein
provided, such Bond (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
Bonds (or of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed) at
the then applicable redemption price are held for the pur-
pose of such payment by the Paying Agent /Registrar.

SECTION 5: Registration - Transfer - Exchange
of Bonds - Predecessor Bonds. A Security Register relating
to the registration, payment, and transfer or exchange of
the Bonds shall at all times be kept and maintained by the
City at the principal office of the Paying Agent /Registrar,
and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall obtain, record, and
maintain in the Security Register the name and address of
each registered owner of the Bonds issued under and pursuant
to the provisions of this Ordinance. Any Bond may, in
accordance with its terms and the terms hereof, be trans-
ferred or exchanged for Bonds of other authorized.denomina -
tions by the Bondholder, in person or by his duly authorized
agent, upon surrender of such Bond to the Paying
Agent /Registrar for cancellation, accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer or request for exchange duly executed
by the Bondholder or by his duly authorized agent, in form
satisfactory to the Paying Agent/ Registrar.
Upon surrender of any Bond for transfer at the
principal 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
Bonds, 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 Bond or
Bonds surrendered for transfer.
At the option of the Bondholder, Bonds may be
exchanged for other Bonds of authorized denominations and
having the same Stated Maturity, bearing the same rate of
interest and of like aggregate principal amount as the Bonds
surrendered for exchange, upon surrender of the Bonds to be
exchanged at the principal office of the Paying Agent/
Registrar. Whenever any Bonds are surrendered for exchange,
the Paying Agent /Registrar shall register and deliver new
Bonds, executed on behalf of, and furnished by, the City, to
the Bondholder requesting the exchange.
All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange of
Bonds shall be delivered at the principal office of the
Paying Agent /Registrar, or sent by United States mail, first
class postage prepaid, to the Bondholder and, upon the
delivery thereof, the same shall be valid obligations of the
City, evidencing the same obligation to pay, and entitled to
the same benefits under this Ordinance, as the Bonds
surrendered in such transfer or exchange.
All transfers or exchanges of Bonds pursuant to
this Section shall be made without expense or service charge
cm
to the Bondholder, except as otherwise herein provided, and
except that the Paying Agent /Registrar shall require payment
by the Bondholder requesting such transfer or exchange of
any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid
with respect to such transfer or exchange.
Bonds cancelled by reason of an exchange or trans-
fer pursuant to the provisions hereof are hereby defined to
be "Predecessor Bonds," evidencing all or a portion, as the
case may be, of the same obligation to pay evidenced by the
new Bond or Bonds registered and delivered in the exchange
or transfer therefor. Additionally, the term "Predecessor
Bonds" shall include any mutilated, lost, destroyed, or
stolen Bond for which a replacement Bond has been issued,
registered and delivered in lieu thereof pursuant to Sec-
tion 12 hereof and such new replacement Bond shall be deemed
to evidence the same obligation as the mutilated, lost,
destroyed, or stolen Bond.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent /Registrar
shall be required to transfer or exchange any Bond called
for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45 days of the
date fixed for redemption of such Bond; provided, however,
such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable
to an exchange by the Bondholder of an unredeemed balance of
a Bond called for redemption in part.
SECTION 6: Execution - Registration. The
Bonds 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 on the Bonds may be manual or facsimile. Bonds
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who are or were the proper officers of the City on the Bond
Date shall be deemed to be duly executed on behalf of the
City, notwithstanding that such individuals or either of
them shall cease to hold such offices at the time of
delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser(s) and with
respect to Bonds delivered in subsequent exchanges and
transfers, all as authorized and provided in the Bond
Procedures Act of 1981, as amended.

purpose, unless there appears on such Bond either a certifi-
cate of registration substantially in the form provided in
Section 8C, manually executed by the Comptroller of Public
Accounts of the State of Texas or his duly authorized agent,

officer, employee, or representative of the Paying Agent/
Registrar, and either such certificate upon any Bond duly
signed shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Bond has been duly certified, registered and
delivered.

authorized shall be initially issued either (i) as a single
fully registered bond in the total principal amount of
$1,500,000 with principal installments to become due and
payable as provided in Section 2 hereof and numbered T -1, or

principal office of the Paying Agent/ Registrar, with the
Assignment hereon duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the

Agent /Registrar to the designated transferee or transferees.

as the owner entitled to payment of interest hereon, (ii) on
the date of surrender of this Bond as the owner entitled to
payment of principal hereof at its Stated Maturity or its
redemption, in whole or in part, and (iii) on any other date
as the owner for all other purposes, and neither the City
nor the Paying Agent/ Registrar, or any agent of either,
shall be affected by notice to the contrary. In the event
of non - payment of interest on a scheduled payment date and
for thirty (30) days thereafter, a new record date for such
interest payment (a "Special Record Date ") will be estab-
lished 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

least five (5) business days prior to the Special Record
Date by United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to
the address of each Bondholder 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 duly organized and legally

Constitution and laws of the State of Texas; that the is-
suance of the Bonds is duly authorized by law; that all

same lawful and valid obligations of the City have been
properly done, have happened and have been performed in

Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and the
ordinance; that the Bonds 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
Bonds by the levy of a tax as aforestated. In case any

and enforceability of the remaining provisions and applica-
tions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 9: Levy of Taxes. To provide for the
payment of the "Debt Service Requirements" of the Bonds,
being (i) the interest on the Bonds and (ii) a sinking fund
for their redemption at maturity or a sinking fund
of 2% (whichever amount is the greater), there is hereby
levied, and there shall be annually assessed and collected
in due time, form, and manner, a tax on all taxable property
in the City, within the limitations prescribed by law, and
such tax hereby levied on each one hundred dollars' valua-
tion of taxable property in the City for the Debt Service
Requirements of the Bonds shall be at a rate from year to
year as will be ample and sufficient to provide funds each
year to pay the principal of and interest on said Bonds
while Outstanding; full allowance being made for delin-
quencies and costs of collection; separate books and records
relating to the receipt and disbursement of taxes levied,
assessed and collected for and on account of the Bonds shall
be kept and maintained by the City at all times while the
Bonds remain outstanding and the taxes collected for the
payment of the Debt Service Requirements on the Bonds shall
be deposited to the credit of a "Special 1985 Bond Account"

of the City and deposited in a special fund maintained at an
official depository of the City's funds; and such tax hereby
levied, and to be assessed and collected annually, is hereby
pledged to the payment of the Bonds.
Proper officers of the City are hereby authorized
and directed to cause to be transferred to the Paying Agent/
Registrar for the Bonds, from funds on deposit in the
Interest and Sinking Fund, amounts sufficient to fully pay
and discharge promptly each installment of interest and
principal of the Bonds as the same accrues or matures or
comes due by reason of redemption prior to maturity; such
transfers of funds to be made in such manner as will cause
collected funds to be deposited with the Paying Agent/
Registrar on or before each principal and interest payment
date for the Bonds.
SECTION 10: Notices to Holders - waiver. Wherever
this Ordinance provides for notice to Bondholders of any
event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless
otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and sent
by United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the
address of each Bondholder appearing in the Security
Register at the close of business on the business day next
preceding the mailing of such notice.
-16-
In any case where notice to Bondholders is given
by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice to any
particular Bondholders, nor any defect in any notice so
mailed, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to all other Bonds. Where this Ordinance provides
for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Bondholder 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 Bondholders
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 11: Cancellation. All Bonds surren-
dered for payment, redemption, o , transfer, exchange, or
replacement, 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 Bonds pre-
viously certified or registered and delivered which the City
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Bonds so
delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Paying Agent/
Registrar. All cancelled Bonds held by the Paying Agent/
Registrar shall be returned to the City.
SECTION 12: Mutilated - Destroyed - Lost and
Stolen Bonds. If (1) any mutilated Bondis surrendered to
the Paying Agent /Registrar, or the City and the Paying
Agent /Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss, or theft of any Bond, and (2) there
is delivered to the City and the Paying Agent /Registrar such
security or indemnity as may be required to save each of
them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the City or
the Paying Agent /Registrar that such Bond has been acquired
by a bona fide purchaser, the City shall execute and, upon
its request, the Paying Agent /Registrar shall register and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the same
Stated Maturity and of like tenor and principal amount,
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or
stolen Bond has become or is about to become due and pay-
able, the City in its discretion may, instead of issuing a
new Bond, pay such Bond.
-17-
Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this
Section, the City may require payment by the Bondholder of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (includ-
ing the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent /Registrar)
connected therewith.
Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Section in
lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond shall
constitute a replacement of the prior obligation of the
City, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost, or
stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance
equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Bonds.
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 Bonds.
SECTION 13: No- Arbitrage Certification. That
the City hereby certifies and covenants that the proceeds of
the Bonds are needed at this time for the purposes
identified in Section 1 hereof; based current facts,
estimates and circumstances, it is reasonably expected that
all of the spendable proceeds of the Bonds will be expended
within three years from the date of the receipt thereof by
the City; it is not reasonably expected the proceeds of the
Bonds or moneys deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund
created for the payment of the Bonds will be used or
invested in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be
"arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 103(c) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or any
regulations or published rulings pertaining thereto; and
save and except for the Interest and Sinking Fund, no other
funds or accounts have been established or pledged for the
payment of the Bonds.
SECTION 14: Satisfaction of Obligation of
City. If the City shall pay or cause to be paid, or there
shall otherwise be paid to the Bondholders, the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, at the times
and in the manner stipulated in this Ordinance, then the
pledge of any taxes under this Ordinance and all other
obligations of the City to the Bondholders shall thereupon
cease, terminate, and become void and be discharged and
satisfied.
MM
Bonds or any principal amount(s) thereof shall be
deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the
effect expressed above in this Section when (i) money suf-
ficient to pay in full such Bonds or the principal amount(s)
thereof at maturity or to 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 certi-
fied 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 suf-
ficient money, together with any moneys deposited therewith,
if any, to pay when due the principal of and interest on
such Bonds, 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 made of any such deposit which
would cause the Bonds to be treated as "arbitrage bonds"
within the meaning of Section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954, 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
Bonds, 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 Bonds and remaining unclaimed for a
period of four (4) years after the Stated Maturity, or
applicable redemption date, of the Bonds 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.

means direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of
and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the

notice to any Bondholders, from time to time and at any

herein. In addition, the City may, with the written consent
of Bondholders holding a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds then Outstanding affected thereby,
amend, add to, or rescind any of the provisions of this
Ordinance; provided that, without the consent of all Bond-
holders of outstanding Bonds, 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 Bonds, reduce the principal amount thereof, the redemp-
tion price therefor, 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 Bonds, (2) give any
preference to any Bond over any other Bond, or (3) reduce
the aggregate principal amount of Bonds required to be held
by Bondholders for consent to any such amendment, addition,
or rescission.

principal of, premium, if any, and interest
thereon to maturity or redemption, as the case may

redeemed, notice of redemption thereof shall have
been duly given pursuant to this Ordinance or
irrevocably provided to be given to the satis-
faction of the Paying Agent/ Registrar, or waived;
