provide for the registration and transfer of the Note in accordance with this Ordinance.

Payment/Transfer Office, or sent by United States mail, first class, posted prepaid, to the Owner

Section.
(c) Each exchanged Note 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 Note in lieu of which such
exchange Note is delivered.

transfer, or exchange for a different denomination of the Note. The Paying Agent/Registrar,

charge that is authorized to be imposed in connection with the registration, transfer or exchange of
a Note.
(e) Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue, transfer,
or exchange any Note called for redemption, in whole or in part, where such redemption is
scheduled to occur within 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 Note.
Section 3.07. Cancellation and Authentication. A Note paid or redeemed before
scheduled maturity in accordance with this Ordinance, and a Note in lieu of which an exchange
Note or a replacement Note is authenticated and delivered in accordance with this Ordinance, shall

replacement. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall dispose of the cancelled Note in accordance with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Section 3.08. Replacement Note.
(a) Upon the presentation and surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar, at the
Designated Payment/Transfer Office, of a mutilated Note, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall

Agent/Registrar may require the Owner of such Note to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that is authorized to be imposed in connection therewith and any other
expenses connected therewith.
(b) In the event that any Note is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, the
Paying Agent/Registrar, pursuant to the applicable laws of the State of Texas and in the absence
of notice or knowledge that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall
authenticate and deliver a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding, provided that the Owner first:
(i) furnishes to the Paying Agent/Registrar satisfactory evidence of his or her
ownership of and the circumstances of the loss, destruction or theft of such Note;
(ii) furnishes such security or indemnity as may be required by the Paying
Agent/Registrar and the City to save them harmless;
(iii) pays all expenses and charges in connection therewith, including, but not
limited to, printing costs, legal fees, fees of the Paying Agent/Registrar and any tax or other
governmental charge that is authorized to be imposed; and
(iv) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the City and the
Paying Agent/Registrar.
(c) If, after the delivery of such replacement Note, a bona fide purchaser of the original
Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note,
the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note from
the person to whom it was delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser,
and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of
any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar in connection
therewith.
(d) In the event that any such mutilated, lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken
Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar, in its
discretion, instead of issuing a replacement Note, may pay such Note.
(e) Each replacement Note delivered 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 Note in lieu of which such replacement Note is delivered.

applicable temporary, proposed and final regulations (the "Regulations") and procedures
promulgated thereunder and applicable to the Note, the City covenants that it will monitor and
control the receipt, investment, expenditure and use of all gross proceeds of the Note (including
all property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or
indirectly with the proceeds of the Note) and take or omit to take such other and further actions as
may be required by Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code and the Regulations to cause
interest on the Note to be and remain excludable from the gross income, as defined in Section 61
of the Code, of the owners of the Note for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the City shall comply with each of the following covenants:
(a) The City will use all of the proceeds of the Note to (i) provide funds for the purposes
described in Section 3.01 hereof, which will be owned and operated by the City and (ii) to pay the
costs of issuing the Note. The City will not use any portion of the proceeds of the Note to pay the
principal of or interest or redemption premium on, any other obligation of the City or a related
person.
(b) The City will not directly or indirectly take any action, or omit to take any action,
which action or omission would cause the Note to constitute "private activity bond" within the
meaning of Section 141 (a) of the Code.
(c) Principal of and interest on the Note will be paid solely from ad valorem taxes
collected by the City and investment earnings on such collections.
(d) Based upon all facts and estimates now known or reasonably expected to be in
existence on the date the Note are delivered, the City reasonably expects that the proceeds of the
Note will not be used in a manner that would cause the Note or any portion thereof to be an
"arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.
(e) At all times while the Note are outstanding, the City will identify and properly
account for all amounts constituting gross proceeds of the Note in accordance with the Regulations.
The City will monitor the yield on the investments of the proceeds of the Note and, to the extent
required by the Code and the Regulations, will restrict the yield on such investments to a yield
which is not materially higher than the yield on the Note. To the extent necessary to prevent the
Note from constituting "arbitrage bonds," the City will make such payments as are necessary to
cause the yield on all yield restricted nonpurpose investments allocable to the Note to be less than
the yield that is materially higher than the yield on the Note.
(D The City will not take any action or knowingly omit to take any action that, if taken
or omitted, would cause the Note to be treated as "federally guaranteed" obligations for purposes
of Section 149(b) of the Code.
-16-
4134-3358-8DD5.1
(g) The City represents that not more than fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds of the
Note will be invested in nonpurpose investments (as defined in Section 148(0(6)(A) of the Code)
having a substantially guaranteed yield for four years or more within the meaning of Section
149(g)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code, and the City reasonably expects that at least eighty-five percent
(85%) of the spendable proceeds of the Note will be used to carry out the governmental purpose
of the Note within the three-year period beginning on the date of issue of the Note.
(h) The City will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that certain
amounts earned by the City on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Note, if any, be rebated
to the federal government. Specifically, the City will (i) maintain records regarding the receipt,
investment, and expenditure of the gross proceeds of the Note as may be required to calculate such
excess arbitrage profits separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts
of the City allocable to other obligations of the City or moneys which do not represent gross
proceeds of any obligations of the City and retain such records for at least six years after the day
on which the last outstanding Bond is discharged, (ii) account for all gross proceeds under a
reasonable, consistently applied method of accounting, not employed as an artifice or device to
avoid in whole or in part, the requirements of Section 148 of the Code, including any specified
method of accounting required by applicable Regulations to be used for all or a portion of any
gross proceeds, (iii) calculate, at such times as are required by applicable Regulations, the amount
of excess arbitrage profits, if any, earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the Note
and (iv) timely pay, as required by applicable Regulations, all amounts required to be rebated to
the federal government. In addition, the City will exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no
errors are made in the calculations required by the preceding sentence and, if such an error is made,
to discover and promptly correct such error within a reasonable amount of time thereafter,
including payment to the federal government of any delinquent amounts owed to it, interest thereon
and any penalty.
(i) The City will not directly or indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the
federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal
government by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of the
Note that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal government
because such arrangement results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if
such arrangement had been at arm's length and had the yield on the Note not been relevant to either
party.
(j) The City will timely file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury of
the United States the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code with respect to the Note
on such form and in such place as the Secretary may prescribe.
(k) The City will not issue or use the Note as part of an "abusive arbitrage device" (as
defined in Section 1.148-10(a) of the Regulations). Without limiting the foregoing, the Note are
not and will not be a part of a transaction or series of transactions that attempts to circumvent the
provisions of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations, by (i) enabling the City to exploit the
difference between tax-exempt and taxable interest rates to gain a material financial advantage, or
(ii) increasing the burden on the market for tax-exempt obligations.
-17-
4134-3358-8005.1
(1) Proper officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Note are
hereby directed to make, execute and deliver certifications as to facts, estimates or circumstances
in existence as of the date of issuance of the Note and stating whether there are facts, estimates or
circumstances that would materially change the City's expectations. On or after the date of
issuance of the Note, the City will take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to assure the
continuous accuracy of the representations contained in such certificates.
(m) The covenants and representations made or required by this Section are for the
benefit of the Bond holders and any subsequent Bond holder, and may be relied upon by the Bond
holders and any subsequent Bond holder and bond counsel to the City.
(n) In complying with the foregoing covenants, the City may rely upon an unqualified
opinion issued to the City by nationally recognized bond counsel that any action by the City or
reliance upon any interpretation of the Code or Regulations contained in such opinion will not
cause interest on the Note to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under
existing law.
(o) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the City's representations
and obligations under the covenants and provisions of this Section shall survive the defeasance
and discharge of the Note for as long as such matters are relevant to the exclusion of interest on
the Note from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes.

(v) The Bank represents that, solely to comply with Section 2252.152, Texas

neither it nor its affiliates is a company identified on a list prepared and
maintained by the Comptroller under Section 2252.153 or Section
2270.0201, Texas Government Code, as amended, and posted on the
Comptroller's website on any of the following webpages:
https://comptroller.texas.gov.!purchasing/docs/sudan-list.pdf,
https://comptroller.texas.gov/purchasing/docs/iran-list.pdf, or
https://comptroller.texas.gov/purchasing/docs/fto-list.pdf,
unless the United States government has affirmatively declared such Bank
or affiliate thereof to be excluded from its federal sanctions regime relating
to Sudan or Iran or any federal sanctions regime relating to a foreign
terrorist organization.
For purposes of the foregoing verifications, an "affiliate" of the Bank means
any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with
the Bank and exists to make a profit, and includes but is not limited to a
parent company or wholly- or majority -owned subsidiary of the Bank.; and
In light of the recent Amawi v. Pflugerville Independent School District, et.
al. litigation pending before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth
Circuit, relating to a contract between a government entity and a company
for goods and services under Section 2270.002, Texas Government Code,
and in order to avoid any uncertainty regarding the authority of the City to
accept this Purchase and Investment Letter, the Bank verifies that, solely to
comply with Section 2270.002, Texas Government Code, as amended, and
subject to applicable federal law, it and its affiliates do not boycott Israel
and, to the extent the Purchase and Investment Letter constitutes a contract
for goods or services, the Bank and its affiliates will not boycott Israel
between the date the Note is awarded to such Bank and the date the Note is
delivered to the Bank. For purposes of the foregoing verification, "boycott
Israel" means refusing to deal with, terminating business activities with, or
otherwise taking any action that is intended to penalize, inflict economic
harm on, or limit commercial relations specifically with Israel, or with a
person or entity doing business in Israel or in an Israeli -controlled territory,
but does not include an action made for ordinary business purposes.

recently audited financial statements upon written request. The City may satisfy such

of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto or (ii) delivery of and
payment for the Note hereunder.
