(b) In the event that any officer of the City whose manual or facsimile signature appears

delivery thereof, such manual or facsimile signature nevertheless shall be valid and sufficient for
all purposes as if such officer had remained in such office.
(c) Except as provided below, no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or
be entitled to any security or benefit of this Ordinance unless and until there appears thereon the
Certificate of Paying Agent/Registrar substantially in the form provided herein, duly authenticated
by manual execution by an officer or duly authorized signatory of the Paying Agent/Registrar. It
shall not be required that the same officer or authorized signatory of the Paying Agent/Registrar
sign the Certificate of Paying Agent/Registrar on all of the Bonds. In lieu of the executed
Certificate of Paying Agent/Registrar described above, the Initial Bond delivered at the Closing
Date shall have attached thereto the Comptroller's Registration Certificate substantially in the form
provided herein, manually executed by (or, to the extent allowed by law, bearing a facsimile
signature of) the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, or by his duly authorized
agent, which certificate shall be evidence that the Bond has been duly approved by the Attorney
General of the State of Texas, that it is a valid and binding obligation of the City and that it has
been registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas.
(d) On the Closing Date, one Initial Bond of each series reflecting the terms set forth

signature of) the Comptroller of Public Accounts, will be delivered to the Purchaser or its designee.

deliver a single registered, definitive Bond for each maturity, in the aggregate principal amount
thereof, to DTC on behalf of the Purchaser.
Section 3.05 Ownership.
(a) The City, the Paying Agent/Registrar and any other person may treat the person in
whose name any Bond is registered as the absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of making
and receiving payment as provided herein (except interest shall be paid to the person in whose
name such Bond is registered on the Record Date or Special Record Date, as applicable), and for
all other purposes, whether or not such Bond is overdue, and neither the City nor the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall be bound by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.
(b) All payments made to the Owner of a Bond shall be valid and effectual and shall
discharge the liability of the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar upon such Bond to the extent of
the sums paid.

provide for the registration and transfer of Bonds in accordance with this Ordinance.
(b) The ownership of a Bond may be transferred only upon the presentation and
surrender of the Bond at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar
with such endorsement or other evidence of transfer as is acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar.
No transfer of any Bond shall be effective until entered in the Register.
(c) The Bonds shall be exchangeable upon the presentation and surrender thereof at the
Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar for a Bond or Bonds of the
same maturity and interest rate and in any denomination or denominations of any integral multiple
of $5,000 and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Bonds
presented for exchange. The Paying Agent/Registrar is hereby authorized to authenticate and
deliver Bonds exchanged for other Bonds in accordance with this Section.
(d) Each exchange Bond delivered by the Paying Agent/ Registrar in accordance with
this Section shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the City and shall be entitled to
the benefits and security of this Ordinance to the same extent as the Bond or Bonds in lieu of which
such exchange Bond is delivered.
(e) No service charge shall be made to the Owner for the initial registration, subsequent
transfer, or exchange for any different denomination of any of the Bonds. The Paying
Agent/Registrar, however, may require the Owner to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that is authorized to be imposed in connection with the registration, transfer
or exchange of a Bond.
(f) Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue, transfer,
or exchange any Bond called for redemption, in whole or in part, where such redemption is
scheduled to occur within forty five (45) calendar days after the transfer or exchange date;
provided, however, such limitation shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Owner of the
uncalled principal balance of a Bond.
Section 3.07 Cancellation.
All Bonds paid or redeemed before scheduled maturity in accordance with this Ordinance,
and all Bonds in lieu of which exchange Bonds or replacement Bonds are authenticated and
delivered in accordance with this Ordinance, shall be cancelled and proper records shall be made
regarding such payment, redemption, exchange or replacement. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall
then return such cancelled Bonds to the City or may in accordance with law destroy such cancelled
Bonds and periodically furnish the City with certificates of destruction of such Bonds.
Section 3.08 Temporary Bonds.

(a) The City will faithfully perform at all times any and all covenants, undertakings,
stipulations, and provisions contained in this Ordinance and in each Bond; the City will promptly
pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on each Bond on the dates and at the places

(a) Not to Cause Interest on Tax -Exempt Bonds to Become Taxable. The City shall

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 such Tax -Exempt Bonds 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 shall have received 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 Tax -Exempt Bonds, the City shall comply with each of the specific covenants
in this Section.
(b) 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 after the Issue Date of

construction, or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross
Proceeds of such Tax -Exempt Bonds and not use or permit the use of such Gross Proceeds
or any property acquired, constructed, or improved with such Gross Proceeds in any
activity carried on by any person or entity other than a state or local government, unless
such use is solely as a member of the general public, or
(ii) not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other payment

acquired with such Gross Proceeds pending application for their intended purposes.
(c) 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 such Tax -Exempt
Bonds to make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For

entity if (1) property acquired, constructed or improved with Gross Proceeds is sold or leased to

capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity under a take -or -

to replace money so invested), if as a result of such investment the Yield of all Investments
allocated to such Gross Proceeds whether then held or previously disposed of, exceeds the Yield
on the Tax -Exempt Bonds.
(e) 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 Tax -Exempt Bonds to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of
Section 149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(f) Information Report. The City shall timely file with the Secretary of the Treasury
the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code with respect to the Tax -Exempt Bonds on
such forms and in such place as such Secretary may prescribe.
(g) Payment of Rebate Amount. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section
148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall:
(i) 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 such
-21 -
4158-6819-3348.1
accounting for at least six years after the final Computation Date. The City may, however,
to the extent permitted by law, commingle Gross Proceeds of the Tax -Exempt Bonds with
other money of the City, provided that the City separately accounts for each receipt and
expenditure of such Gross Proceeds and the obligations acquired therewith,
(ii) calculate the Rebate Amount with respect to the Tax -Exempt Bonds not
less frequently than each Computation Date, in accordance with rules set forth in Section
148(f) of the Code, Section 1.148-3 of the Regulations, and the rulings thereunder. The
City shall maintain a copy of such calculations for at least six years after the final
Computation Date,
(iii) as additional consideration for the purchase of the Tax -Exempt Bonds
by the initial purchaser thereof and the loan of the money represented thereby, and in order
to induce such purchase by measures designed to ensure the excludability of the interest
thereon from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, pay
to the United States the amount described in paragraph (ii) above at the times, in the
installments, to the place, in the manner and accompanied by such forms or other
information as is or may be required by Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations
and rulings thereunder, and
(iv) exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the
calculations required by paragraph (ii) and, if such error is made, to discover and promptly
to correct such error within a reasonable amount of time thereafter, including payment to
the United States of any interest and any penalty required by the Regulations.
(h) 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 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 Tax -Exempt Bonds, not been
relevant to either party.
Section 9.04 Disposition of Project. The City covenants that the property financed or
refinanced with the proceeds of the Tax -Exempt Bonds will not be sold or otherwise disposed in
a transaction resulting in the receipt by the City of cash or other compensation, unless the City
obtains an opinion of a nationally -recognized bond counsel substantially to the effect that such
sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Tax -Exempt Bonds.
For purposes of this Section, the portion of the property comprising personal property and disposed
of in the ordinary course of business shall not be treated as a transaction resulting in the receipt of
cash or other compensation. For purposes of this Section, the City shall not be obligated to comply
with this covenant if it obtains an opinion of a nationally -recognized bond counsel to the effect
that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax
purposes from gross income of the interest.

in a random selection the specific Term Bonds (or with respect to Term Bonds having a
denomination in excess of $5,000, each $5,000 portion thereof) to be redeemed by mandatory
redemption. The principal amount of Term Bonds required to be redeemed on any redemption
date pursuant to the foregoing mandatory sinking fund redemption provisions hereof shall be
reduced, at the option of the City, by the principal amount of any Bonds which, at least forty-five
(45) days prior to the mandatory sinking fund redemption date (i) shall have been acquired by the
City at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such Bonds plus accrued interest to the date
of purchase thereof, and delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation, or (ii) shall have
been redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption provisions hereof and not previously credited
to a mandatory sinking fund redemption.4
Notice of such redemption or redemptions shall be given by first class mail, postage
prepaid, not less than thirty (30) days before the date fixed for redemption, to the registered owner
of each of the Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the Ordinance, the City reserves the
right in the case of an optional redemption to give notice of its election or direction to redeem
Bonds conditioned upon the occurrence of subsequent events. Such notice may state (i) that the
redemption is conditioned upon the deposit of moneys and/or authorized securities, in an amount
equal to the amount necessary to effect the redemption, with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or such
other entity as may be authorized by law, no later than the redemption date or (ii) that the City
retains the right to rescind such notice at any time prior to the scheduled redemption date if the
City delivers a certificate of the City to the Paying Agent/Registrar instructing the Paying
Agent/Registrar to rescind the redemption notice, and such notice and redemption shall be of no
effect if such moneys and/or authorized securities are not so deposited or if the notice is rescinded.
The Paying Agent/Registrar shall give prompt notice of any such rescission of a conditional notice
of redemption to the affected owners. Any Bonds subject to conditional redemption where
a Insert mandatory sinking fund redemption provisions, if any, and revise as necessary to conform to the Pricing

event of default. Further, in the case of a conditional redemption, the failure of the City to make
moneys and/or authorized securities available in part or in whole on or before the redemption date
shall not constitute an event of default.]5
As provided in the Ordinance, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond
is transferable upon surrender of this Bond for transfer at the designated office of the Paying
Agent/Registrar with such endorsement or other evidence of transfer as is acceptable to the Paying
Agent/Registrar; thereupon, one or more new fully registered Bonds of the same stated maturity,

amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue, transfer or
exchange any Bond called for redemption where such redemption is scheduled to occur within
forty five (45) calendar days of the transfer or exchange date; provided, however, such limitation
shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled principal balance of
a Bond.

name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein
provided (except interest shall be paid to the person in whose name this Bond is registered on the

The City of Lubbock (the "City"), in the County of Lubbock, State of Texas, for value

DOLLARS
unless this Bond shall have been sooner called for redemption and the payment of the principal

twelve 30 day months, such interest to be paid semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each

The principal of this Bond shall be payable without exchange or collection charges in

corporate trust office in Dallas, Texas (the "Designated Payment/Transfer Office") of The Bank
of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, the initial Paying Agent/Registrar or,

Exhibit A-1

arrangement. At the option of an Owner of at least $1,000,000 principal amount of the Bonds,

Agent/Registrar. For the purpose of the payment of interest on this Bond, the registered owner
shall be the person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on the "Record
Date," which shall be the last Business Day of the month next preceding such interest payment
date; provided, however, that in the event of nonpayment of interest on a scheduled payment 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

by first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the address of each owner of a Bond appearing
in the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the last Business
Day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice.
If the date for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond shall be a Saturday,
Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which banking institutions in the city where the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are required or authorized by
law or executive order to close, the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day that is
not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which banking institutions are required or
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 and no additional interest shall be due by reason of nonpayment
on the date on which such payment is otherwise stated to be due and payable.
This Bond is one of a series of fully -registered bonds specified in the title hereof issued in
the aggregate principal amount of $[ 1 (herein referred to as the "Bonds"), issued
pursuant to a certain Ordinance of the City (the "Ordinance") for the purposes of providing funds
with which to acquire, construct and reconstruct street improvements, including but not limited to
sidewalks, utility line relocation and traffic signalization, necessary and related storm drainage
facilities and the acquisition of land and rights -of -way therefor, and to pay the costs of issuing the
Bonds.
The City has reserved the option to redeem the Bonds maturing on or after February 15,
[20___], in whole or in part, before their respective scheduled maturity dates, on February 15,
[20_], or on any date thereafter, at a price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds so called
for redemption plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If less than all of the Bonds
are to be redeemed, the City shall determine the maturity or maturities and the amounts thereof to
be redeemed and shall direct the Paying Agent/Registrar to call by lot or other customary method
that results in a random selection the Bonds, or portions thereof, within such maturity and in such
principal amounts, for redemption.
Notice of such redemption or redemptions shall be given by first class mail, postage
prepaid, not less than thirty (30) days before the date fixed for redemption, to the registered owner
of each of the Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the Ordinance, the City reserves the
right in the case of an optional redemption to give notice of its election or direction to redeem
Exhibit A-2
4144-8473-2484.1
Bonds conditioned upon the occurrence of subsequent events. Such notice may state (i) that the
redemption is conditioned upon the deposit of moneys and/or authorized securities, in an amount
equal to the amount necessary to effect the redemption, with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or such
other entity as may be authorized by law, no later than the redemption date or (ii) that the City
retains the right to rescind such notice at any time prior to the scheduled redemption date if the
City delivers a certificate of the City to the Paying Agent/Registrar instructing the Paying
Agent/Registrar to rescind the redemption notice, and such notice and redemption shall be of no
effect if such moneys and/or authorized securities are not so deposited or if the notice is rescinded.
The Paying Agent/Registrar shall give prompt notice of any such rescission of a conditional notice
of redemption to the affected owners. Any Bonds subject to conditional redemption where
redemption has been rescinded shall remain Outstanding, and the rescission shall not constitute an
event of default. Further, in the case of a conditional redemption, the failure of the City to make
moneys and/or authorized securities available in part or in whole on or before the redemption date
shall not constitute an event of default.
As provided in the Ordinance, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond
is transferable upon surrender of this Bond for transfer at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office
of the Paying Agent/Registrar with such endorsement or other evidence of transfer as is acceptable
to the Paying Agent/Registrar; thereupon, one or more new fully registered Bonds of the same
stated maturity, of authorized denominations, bearing the same rate of interest, and for the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue, transfer or
exchange any Bond called for redemption where such redemption is scheduled to occur within
forty-five (45) calendar days after the transfer or exchange date; provided, however, such
limitation shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled principal
balance of a Bond.
The City, the Paying Agent/Registrar, and any other person may treat the person in whose
name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein
provided (except interest shall be paid to the person in whose name this Bond is registered on the
Record Date or Special Record Date, as applicable) and for all other purposes, whether or not this
Bond be overdue, and neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that the issuance of this Bond and the series
of which it is a part is duly authorized by law; that all acts, conditions and things required to be
done precedent to and in the issuance of the Bonds have been properly done and performed and
have happened in regular and due time, form and manner, as required by law; and that ad valorem
taxes upon all taxable property in the City have been levied for and pledged to the payment of the
debt service requirements of the Bonds, within the limit prescribed by law; and that the total
indebtedness of the City, including the Bonds, does not exceed any constitutional or statutory
limitation.
