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 Offce 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.

The City has reserved the option to redeem the Bonds maturing on or after February 15, [2036], in whole or in part, before their respective scheduled maturity dates, on February 15, [2035], 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.

Such notice may state (i) that the Exhibit A-2 4162-6714-4534.1 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 AgendRegistrar 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redemption shall be of no effect if such moneys and/or authorized securities are not so deposited or if the notice is rescinded.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 Any Bonds subject to conditional redemption where redemption has been rescinded shall remain Outstanding, and the rescission shall not constitute an event of default.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 PaymendTransfer 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 AgendRegistrar 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 AgendRegistrar, 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.

All actions that may be taken by the Underwriters hereunder may be taken by the Representative alone. 2. Ordinance. The Obligations shall be as described in and shall be issued and secured under the provisions of an ordinance adopted by the City on March 25, 2025, authorizing the issuance and sale of the Obligations (the Ordrnance). The Obligations are issued pursuant to the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas, particularly Chapter 1371, Texas Government Code, as amended (Chapter 1371) and Chapter 1331, Texas Government Code, as amended. As permitted by the provisions of Chapter 1371, the City Council of the City, in the Ordinance, delegated the authority to each of the Mayor, the City Manager, and the Chief Financial Officer (each, an Authorized Officer) to execute this Purchase Contract and to establish the pricing terms for the Obligations through the execution of a pricing certificate dated the date hereof (together with any amendment as permitted by this Purchase Contract, the Pricing Certificate), within the parameters set forth in the Ordinance. The Obligations shall be secured and payable as provided in the Ordinance and the Pricing Certificate. 3. Public Offering and Establishment of Issue Price. (a) Public Offering. The Underwriters agree to make a bona fide public offering of all of the Obligations at prices not to exceed the public offering prices (or yields not less than the reoffering yields) set forth on page ii of the Official Statement and may, subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof, subsequently change such offering prices or yields without any requirement of prior notice. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof, the Underwriters also reserve the right to (1) over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Obligations at levels above those that might otherwise prevail in the open market and (2) discontinue such stabilizing, if commenced, at any time without notice; provided, however, that no such actions shall affect the certifcation of the original issue price of the Obligations as provided below. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof, after the initial public offering, the Underwriters may offer and sell Obligations to certain dealers (including dealers depositing Obligations into investment trusts) and others at prices lower (or yields greater) than the public offering prices or yields stated on page ii of the Offcial Statement. (b) Establishment of Issue Price of the Obligations. (1) The Representative, on behalf of the Underwriters, agrees to assist the City in establishing the issue price of the Obligations and shall execute and deliver to the City on or before Closing (as hereinafter defined) an "issue price certificate" or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, the City, and Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Austin, Texas (Bond Counsen, to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Obligations. All actions to be taken by the City under this section to establish the issue price of the Obligations may be taken on behalf of the City by the City's financial advisor identified herein and any notice or report to be provided to the City may be provided to the City's financial advisor. (2) Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto, the City will treat the first price at which 10°/0 of each maturity of the Obligations (the 10% test) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity (if different interest rates apply within a maturity, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be subject to the 10% test). At or promptly after the execution of this Purchase Contract, the Representative shall report to the City the price or prices at which the Underwriters have sold to the public each separate CUSIP Number within a maturity of Obligations. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the Obligations, the Representative agrees to promptly, but no more than three business days, report to the City the prices at which Obligations of that maturity have been sold by the Underwriters to the public. Unless the City and the Representative agree to apply the hold-the-offering-price rule described below to each such maturity, that reporting obligation shall continue, whether the Closing has occurred, until the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Obligations of that maturity or until all Obligations of that maturity have been sold to the public. (3) The Representative confirms that the Underwriters have offered all the Obligations of each maturity to the public on or before the date of this Purchase Contract at the respective offering price (the initial offering price), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. Exhibit C sets forth, as of the date of this Purchase Contract, the maturities, if any, of the Obligations for which the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the City and the Representative, on behalf of the Underwriters, agree that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the City to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the "hold-the-offering-price rule"). So long as the hold-the- offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Obligations, the Underwriters will neither offer nor sell unsold Obligations of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following: (i) the close of the fifth (Sth) business day after the sale date; or (ii) the date on which the Underwriters have sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Obligations to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public. The Representative shall promptly advise the City when the Underwriters have sold 10% of that maturity of the Obligations to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public, if that occurs prior to the close of the ffth (Sth) business day after the sale date. The City acknowledges that, in making the representation set forth in this subsection, the Representative will rely on (i) the agreement of each Underwriter to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, as set forth in an agreement among the Underwriters (the AA i� and the related pricing wire(s), (ii) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Obligations to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (iii) in the event that an Underwriter is a party to a retail distribution agreement that was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Obligations to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, as set forth in the retail distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The City further acknowledges that each Underwriter shall be solely liable for its failure to comply with its agreement regarding the hold-the-offering-price rule and that no Underwriter shall be liable for the failure of any other Underwriter, or of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker-dealer that is a party to a retail distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement regarding the hold-the-offering-price rule as applicable to the Obligations. (4) The Representative confirms that: (i) any AAU, any selling group agreement, and each retail distribution agreement (to whicli the Representative is a party) relating to the initial sale of the Obligations to the public, together with the related pricing wire(s), contains or will contain language obligating each Underwriter, each dealer who is a member of the selling group, and each broker-dealer that is a party to such retail distribution agreement, as applicable, to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Obligations of each maturity allotted to it until it is notified by the Representative that either the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Obligations of that maturity or all Obligations of that maturity have been sold to the public and (B) comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, in each case if and for so long as directed by the Representative and as set forth in the related pricing wire(s), and (ii) any AAU relating to the initial sale of the Obligations to the public, together with the related pricing wire(s), contains or will contain language obligating each Underwriter that is a party to a retail distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Obligations to the public to require each broker-dealer that is a party to such retail distribution agreement to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Obligations of each maturity allotted to it until it is notified by the Representative or the Underwriter that either the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Obligations of that maturity or all Obligations of that maturity have been sold to the public and (B) comply with the hold- the-offering-price rule, if applicable, in each case if and for so long as directed by the Representative or the Underwriter and as set forth in the related pricing wire(s). (5) The Representative, on behalf of itself and the Underwriters, acknowledges that sales of any Obligations to any person that is a related party to an Underwriter shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section. Further, for purposes of this section: (i) "public" means any person otHer than an underwriter or a related party, (ii) "underwriter" means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the City (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Obligations to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Obligations to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a retail distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Obligations to the public), (iii) a purchaser of any of the Obligations is a"related party" to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (A) more than 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporat�ons (including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (B) more than 50°/0 common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of another), or (C) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other), and (iv) "sale date" means the date of execution of this Purchase Contract by all parties. 4. Security Deposit. The Representative has delivered to the City the Underwriters' good faith check payable to the order of the City in the amount of $478,600.00 (the Good Faith Check). The Good Faith Check may be applied toward any obligation of the Underwriters owing as a result of the failure of the Underwriters to accept delivery of the Obligations as provided herein. The City agrees to hold the Good Faith Check in escrow until the Closing to ensure the performance by the Underwriters of their obligation to purchase, accept delivery of, and pay for the Obligations at the Closing. Concurrently with the payment by the Underwriters of the purchase price of the Obligations, the City shall return the Good Faith Check to the Representative as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof. Should the City fail to deliver the Obligations at the Closing, or should the City be unable to satisfy the conditions of the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase, accept delivery of, and pay for the Obligations, as set forth in this Purchase Contract (unless waived by the Representative), or should such obligations of the Underwriters be terminated for any reason permitted by this Purchase Contract, the Good Faith Check shall immediately be returned to the Representative in such manner as provided to the City by the Representative. In the event the Underwriters fail (other than for a reason permitted hereunder) to purchase, accept delivery of, and pay for the Obligations at the Closing as herein provided, the Good Faith Check shall be retained by the City as and for fully liquidated damages for such failure of the Underwriters and for any defaults hereunder on the part of the Underwriters (except with respect to any failure relating to the representations made by the Underwriters in Section 19 hereof (hereinafter-defined as the Covered Verifications), which damages shall not be liquidated or otherwise limited). The Underwriters and the City understand that in such event the City's actual damages may be greater or may be less than such amount. Accordingly, the Underwriters hereby waive any right to claim that the City's actual damages are less than such amount, and the City's acceptance of this offer shall constitute a waiver of any right the City may have to additional damages from the Underwriters (except as it relates to the Covered Verifications). 5. Official Statement. The Official Statement, including the cover page and Appendices thereto, of the City, dated , 2025, with respect to the Obligations, as further amended only in the manner herein provided, is hereinafter called the "Official Statement". The City hereby authorizes the Ordinance, the Offcial Statement, and the information therein contained to be used by the Underwriters in connection with the public offering and sale of the Obligations. The City confrms its consent to the use by the Underwriters prior to the date hereof of the Preliminary Official Statement, relative to the Obligations, dated , 2025 (as amended or supplemented, the Preliminary Official Statement), in connection with the preliminary public offering and sale of the Obligations, and it is "deemed final" as of its date, within the meaning, and for the purposes, of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated under authority granted by the federal Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the Rule). The City agrees to cooperate with the Underwriters to provide the Official Statement, within seven (7) business days of the date hereof, in a"designated electronic format", as defned in and specified by Rule G-32 of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the MSRB) and in sufficient quantities for the Underwriters to satisfy the requirements of MSRB Rule G-32 obligating the Underwriters to deliver a copy of the Offcial Statement to a purchaser of the Obligations not later than the date of Closing, as defined herein, upon an Underwriters' receipt from the purchaser of a request therefor.

FHN Financial Capital Markets Hilltop Securities Inc. c/o SAMCO Capital Markets, Inc. 1020 NE Loop 410, Suite 640 San Antonio, Texas 78209 Re: $ City of Lubbock, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2025 Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as counsel for you as the underwriters of the securities described above (the "Obligations"), issued under and pursuant to an ordinance (the "Ordinance") of the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City"), authorizing the issuance of the Obligations, which Obligations you are purchasing pursuant to a Purchase Contract, dated , 2025. All capitalized undefined tercns used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Contract. In connection with this opinion letter, we have considered such matters of law and of fact, and have relied upon such certificates and other information furnished to us, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for our opinion set forth below. We are not expressing any opinion or views herein on the authorization, issuance, delivery, validity of the Obligations and we have assumed, but not independently verified, that the signatures on all documents and Obligations that we have examined are genuine. Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under existing laws, the Obligations are not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Ordinance is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement as your counsel was not to establish factual matters, and because of the wholly or partially non-legal character of many of the determinations involved in the preparation of the Preliminary Offcial Statement dated , 2025 (as amended or supplemented, the "Preliminary Official Statement") and the Official Statement dated , 2025 (the "Official Statement") and because the information in the Official Statement under the headings "THE BONDS — Book-Entry-Only System", "TAX MATTERS", "CONTINLTING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION — Compliance with Prior Undertakings", and Appendices A, B and C thereto were prepared by others who have been engaged to review or provide such information, we are not passing on and do not assume any responsibility for, except as set forth in the last sentence of this paragraph, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement (including any appendices and exhibits thereto) and we make no representation that we have independently Exhibit B - 1 verified the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of such statements. In the course of our review of the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement, we had discussions with representatives of the City regarding the contents of the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement. In the course of our participation in the preparation of the Official Statement as your counsel, we had discussions with representatives of the City, including its City Attorney, Bond Counsel, and Financial Advisor, regarding the contents of the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement. In the course of such activities, no facts came to our attention that would lead us to believe that the Preliminary Official Statement, as of its date, and the Official Statement, as of its date and the date hereof (except for the financial statements and other financial and statistical data contained therein, the information set forth under the headings "THE BONDS — Book-Entry-Only System", "TAX MATTERS", "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION — Compliance with Prior Undertakings", and Appendices A, B and C thereto, as to which we express no opinion), contained or contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Assuming the enforceability of the Ordinance, we are of the opinion that you may reasonably conclude that the continuing disclosure undertaking by the City set forth in the Ordinance satisfies the requirements contained in paragraph (b)(5) of Rule 15c2-12. This opinion letter may be relied upon by only you and only in connection with the transaction to which reference is made above and may not be used or relied upon by any other person for any purposes whatsoever without our prior written consent. Respectfully, Exhibit B - 2 EXHIBIT C FORM OF CERTIFICATE REGARDING ISSUE PRICE The undersigned, on behalf of SAMCO Capital Markets, Inc., which acted as the lead underwriter (the "Representative") of the underwriting group (the "Underwriting Group"), hereby certifies as set forth below with respect to the sale and issuance of the General Obligation Bonds, Series 2025 (the "Obligations") by the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City"). 1.
