to keep such books or records and make such registrations of transfers, conversions and exchanges
under such reasonable regulations as the City and Paying Agent/Registrar may prescribe; and the

given. The City shall have the right to inspect the Registration Books during regular business hours
of the Paying Agent/Registrar, but otherwise the Paying Agent/Registrar shall keep the Registration

Except as provided in Section 4(c) hereof, an authorized representative of the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall, before the delivery of any such Bond, date and manually sign the Bond, and
no such Bond shall be deemed to be issued or outstanding unless such Bond is so executed. The
Paying Agent/Registrar promptly shall cancel all paid Bonds and Bonds surrendered for conversion

ing body of the City or any other body or person so as to accomplish the foregoing conversion and
exchange of any Bond or portion thereof, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall provide for the
printing, execution, and delivery of the substitute Bonds in the manner prescribed herein, and the
Bonds shall be of type composition printed on paper with lithographed or steel engraved borders of
customary weight and strength. Pursuant to Chapter 1206, Texas Government Code, as amended,

made by the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar with respect to the Bonds, and of all conversions
and exchanges of Bonds, and all replacements of Bonds, as provided in this Ordinance. However,
in the event of a nonpayment of interest on a scheduled payment date, and for thirty (30) days thereaf-
ter, 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 Registered Owner appearing on the Registration Books at the close of business on
the last business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice.

Bonds, (iv) shall have the characteristics, (v) shall be signed, sealed, executed and authenticated, (vi)
the principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable, and (vii) shall be administered and the
Paying Agent/Registrar and the City shall have certain duties and responsibilities with respect to the
Bonds, all as provided, and in the manner and to the effect as required or indicated, in the FORM OF
BOND set forth in this Ordinance. The Bonds initially issued and delivered pursuant to this
Ordinance are not required to be, and shall not be, authenticated by the Paying Agent/Registrar, but
on each substitute Bond issued in conversion of and exchange for any Bond or Bonds issued under
this Ordinance the Paying Agent/Registrar shall execute the PAYING AGENT/REGISTRAR'S
AUTHENTICATION CERTIFICATE, in the form set forth in the FORM OF BOND.
(d) Substitute Paving Agent/Registrar. The City covenants with the Registered Owners of
the Bonds that at all times while the Bonds are outstanding the City will provide a competent and
legally qualified bank, trust company, financial institution, or other agency to act as and perform the
services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds under this Ordinance, and that the Paying
Agent/Registrar will be one entity. The City reserves the right to, and may, at its option, change the
Paying Agent/Registrar upon not less than 30 days written notice to the Paying Agent/Registrar, to
be effective at such time which will not disrupt or delay payment on the next principal or interest
payment date after such notice. In the event that the entity at any time acting as Paying
Agent/Registrar (or its successor by merger, acquisition, or other method) should resign or otherwise
cease to act as such, the City covenants that promptly it will appoint a competent and legally qualified
bank, trust company, financial institution, or other agency to act as Paying Agent/Registrar under this
Ordinance. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the previous Paying Agent/Registrar
promptly shall transfer and deliver the Registration Books (or a copy thereof), along with all other
pertinent books and records relating to the Bonds, to the new Paying Agent/Registrar designated and
appointed by the City. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the City promptly will cause
a written notice thereof to be sent by the new Paying Agent/Registrar to each Registered Owner of
the Bonds, by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, which notice also shall give the address
of the new Paying Agent/Registrar. By accepting the position and performing as such, each Paying
GTOWNIG02005: Bond Ordinance 6
Agent/Registrar shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this Ordinance, and a certified
copy of this Ordinance shall be delivered to each Paying Agent/Registrar.
(e) Book -Entry -Only System. The Bonds issued in exchange for the Bonds initially issued
as provided in Section 4(h) shall be issued in the form of a separate single fully registered Bond for
each of the maturities thereof registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository
Trust Company of New York ("DTC") and except as provided in subsection (f) hereof, all of the
outstanding Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
With respect to Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City
and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any securities brokers and
dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations on whose behalf
DTC was created to hold securities to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions
among DTC participants (the "DTC Participant") or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC
Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the
City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the
accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a
Registered Owner, as shown on the Registration Books, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, or
(iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any person, other than a Registered Owner, as shown on
the Registration Books of any amount with respect to principal of or interest on the Bonds.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, but to the extent permitted
by law, the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be entitled to treat and consider the person in
whose name each Bond is registered in the Registration Books as the absolute owner of such Bond
for the purpose of payment of principal of and interest, with respect to such Bond, for the purposes
of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes of registering transfers
with respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall
pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective Registered
Owners, as shown in the Registration Books as provided in this Ordinance, or their respective
attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy
and discharge the City's obligations with respect to payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a Registered Owner, as shown in the
Registration Books, shall receive a Bond evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of
principal, and interest pursuant to this Ordinance. Upon delivery by DTC to the Paying
Agent/Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee
in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions in this Ordinance with respect to interest checks
being mailed to the registered owner at the close of business on the Record Date the word "Cede &
Co." in this Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
(f) Successor Securities Depository; Transfer Outside Book -Entry -Only System. In the event
that the City determines to discontinue the book -entry system through DTC or a successor or DTC
determines to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bond, the City shall either (i)
appoint a successor securities depository, qualified to act as such under Section 17(a) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, notify DTC and DTC Participants of the
GTOWN/GO2005: Band Ordinance 7
appointment of such successor securities depository and transfer one or more separate Bonds to such
successor securities depository or (ii) notify DTC and DTC Participants of the availability through
DTC of Bonds and transfer one or more separate Bonds to DTC Participants having Bonds credited
to their DTC accounts. In such event, the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in
the Registration Books in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in the
name of the successor securities depository, or its nominee, or in whatever name or names the
Registered Owner transferring or exchanging Bond shall designate, in accordance with the provisions
of this Ordinance.
(g) Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the
contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all
payments with respect to principal of, and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such
Bond shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Letter of Representations
of the City to DTC.
(h) DTC Blanket Letter of Representations. The City confirms execution of a Blanket Issuer
Letter of Representations with DTC establishing the Book -Entry -Only System which will be utilized
with respect to the Bonds.
(i) Cancellation of Initial Bond. On the closing date, one Initial Bond representing the entire
principal amount of the Bonds, payable in stated installments to the order of the Underwriter of the
Bonds or its designee set forth in Section 12 of this Ordinance, executed by manual or facsimile
signature of the Mayor or Mayor Pro -tem and City Secretary, approved by the Attorney General of
Texas, and registered and manually signed by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of
Texas, will be delivered to such Underwriters set forth in Section 12 ofthis Ordinance or its designee.
Upon payment for the Initial Bond, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cancel the Initial Bond and
deliver to DTC on behalf of such underwriter one registered definitive Bond for each year of maturity
of the Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of all the Bonds for such maturity.
Section 5. FORM OF BOND. The form of the Bond, including the form of Paying
Agent/Registrar's Authentication Certificate, the form of Assignment, the form of initial Bond and
the form of Registration Certificate of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas to
be attached to the Bonds initially issued and delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, shall be, respec-
tively, substantially as follows, with such appropriate variations, omissions, or insertions as are
permitted or required by this Ordinance including any reproduction of an opinion of counsel and

set forth above, or registered assigns (hereinafter called the "Registered Owner") the principal amount
set forth above, and to pay interest thereon from April 15, 2005, on August 15, 2005 and
semiannually thereafter on each February 15 and August 15 to the maturity date specified above, or
the date of redemption prior to maturity, at the interest rate per annum specified above calculated on
the basis of a 360 -day year of twelve 30 -day months; except that if this Bond is required to be
authenticated and the date of its authentication is later than the first Record Date (hereinafter
defined), such principal amount shall bear interest from the interest payment date next preceding the
date of authentication, unless such date of authentication is after any Record Date but on or before
the next following interest payment date, in which case such principal amount shall bear interest from
such next following interest payment date; provided, however, that if on the date of authentication
hereofthe interest on the Bond or Bonds, if any, for which this Bond is being exchanged or converted
from is due but has not been paid, then this Bond shall bear interest from the date to which such
interest has been paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period in which ownership
of the Bonds is determined only by a book entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, any payment
to the securities depository, or its nominee or registered assigns, shall be made in accordance with
existing arrangements between the City and the securities depository.
THE PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON this Bond are payable in lawful money of the
United States of America, without exchange or collection charges. The principal of this Bond shall
be paid to the Registered Owner hereof upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at maturity or
upon the date fixed for its redemption prior to maturity, at The Bank of New York Trust Company,
N.A., (the "Paying Agent/Registrar") at their office for payment in Jacksonville, Florida (the
"Designated Payment/Transfer Office"). The payment of interest on this Bond shall be made by the
Paying Agent/Registrar to the Registered Owner hereof on each interest payment date by check or
draft, dated as of such interest payment date, drawn by the Paying Agent/Registrar on, and payable
solely from, funds of the City required by the ordinance authorizing the issuance of this Bond (the
"Bond Ordinance") to be on deposit with the Paying Agent/Registrar for such purpose as hereinafter
provided; and such check or draft shall be sent by the Paying Agent/Registrar by United States mail,
first-class postage prepaid, on each such interest payment date, to the Registered Owner hereof, at
its address as it appeared on the close of business on the last day of the month next preceding each
such date (the "Record Date") on the registration books kept by the Paying Agent/Registrar (the
GTOWN/GO2005: Bond Ordinance 9
"Registration Books"). In addition, interest may be paid by such other method, acceptable to the
Paying Agent/Registrar, requested by, and at the risk and expense of, the Registered Owner. In the
event of a non-payment of interest on a scheduled payment date, and for 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 business days prior to the
Special Record Date by United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the address of each owner
of a Bond appearing on the Registration Books at the close of business on the last business day next
preceding the date of mailing of such notice.
DURING ANY PERIOD in which ownership of the Bonds is determined only by a book
entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, if fewer than all of the Bonds of the same maturity and
bearing the same interest rate are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds of such maturity and bearing
such interest rate shall be selected in accordance with the arrangements between the City and the
securities depository.
ANY ACCRUED INTEREST due at maturity as provided herein shall be paid to the
Registered Owner upon presentation and surrender of this Bond for payment at the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar. The City covenants with the Registered
Owner of this Bond that on or before each payment date for this Bond it will make available to the
Paying Agent/Registrar, from the "Interest and Sinking Fund" created by the Bond Ordinance, the
amounts required to provide for the payment, in immediately available funds, of all principal of and

INSERTIONS FOR THE INITIAL BOND
The Initial Bond shall be in the form set forth in this Section, except that:
A. immediately under the name of the Bond, the headings "INTEREST RATE" and
"MATURITY DATE" shall both be completed with the words "As shown below" and
"CUSIP NO." shall be deleted.
B. the first paragraph shall be deleted and the following will be inserted:
"ON THE MATURITY DATE SPECIFIED BELOW, the City ofGeorgetown, Texas (the
"City"), being a political subdivision, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Owner specified
above, or registered assigns (hereinafter called the "Registered Owner"), on August 15 in each ofthe
years, in the principal installments and bearing interest at the per annum rates set forth in the
following schedule:
Years Principal Installments
Interest Rates
(Information from Sections 2 and 3 to be inserted)
The City promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof (calculated on the basis of
a 360 -day year of twelve 30 -day months) from April 15, 2005 at the respective Interest Rate per
annum specified above. Interest is payable on August 15, 2005 and semiannually on each February
15 and August 15 thereafter to the date of payment of the principal installment specified above;
except, that if this Bond is required to be authenticated and the date of its authentication is later than
the first Record Date (hereinafter defined), such principal amount shall bear interest from the interest
payment date next preceding the date of authentication, unless such date of authentication is after any
Record Date but on or before the next following interest payment date, in which case such principal
amount shall bear interest from such next following interest payment date; provided, however, that
if on the date of authentication hereof the interest on the Bond or Bonds, if any, for which this Bond
is being exchanged is due but has not been paid, then this Bond shall bear interest from the date to
which such interest has been paid in full."
C. The initial Bond shall be numbered "T -l."
GTOWN/GO2005: Bond Ordinance 15
Section 6. TAX LEVY. A special Interest and Sinking Fund (the "Interest and Sinking
Fund") is hereby created solely for the benefit of the Bonds, and the Interest and Sinking Fund shall
be established and maintained by the City at an official depository bank of the City. The Interest and
Sinking Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of the City, and shall
be used only for paying the interest on and principal of the Bonds. All ad valorem taxes levied and
collected for and on account of the Bonds shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit ofthe Interest
and Sinking Fund. During each year while any of the Bonds or interest thereon are outstanding and
unpaid, the governing body of the City shall compute and ascertain a rate and amount of ad valorem
tax which will be sufficient to raise and produce the money required to pay the interest on the Bonds
as such interest comes due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal
ofthe Bonds as such principal matures (but never less than 2% of the original principal amount ofthe
Bonds as a sinking fund each year); and the tax shall be based on the latest approved tax rolls of the
City, with full allowance being made for tax delinquencies and the cost of tax collection. The rate
and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby levied, and is hereby ordered to be levied, against all taxable
property in the City for each year while any of the Bonds or interest thereon are outstanding and
unpaid; and the tax shall be assessed and collected each such year and deposited to the credit of the
Interest and Sinking Fund. The ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest
on and principal of the Bonds, as such interest comes due and such principal matures, are hereby
pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law. Accrued interest on the Bonds shall
be deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund.
Chapter 1208, Texas Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Bonds and the pledge
of the ad valorem taxes granted by the City under this Section, and is therefore valid, effective, and
perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid such that
the pledge of the ad valorem taxes granted by the City under this Section is to be subject to the filing
requirements of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the Owners of
the Bonds the perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the City agrees to take such measures
as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable
provisions of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing to perfect the security
interest in said pledge to occur.
Section 7. ESTABLISHMENT OF PROJECT FUND AND ESCROW FUND. (a)
Project Fund. The Series 2005 Project Fund is hereby created and shall be established and maintained
by the City at an official depository bank of the City. Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds and
accrued interest, shall be deposited in the Project Fund.
(b) Investment of Funds. The City hereby covenants that the proceeds of the sale of the
Bonds will be used as soon as practicable for the purposes for which the Bonds are issued.

fund. Any money in any fund created by this Ordinance may be invested as permitted by the Public
Funds Investment Act, as amended and the City's Investment Policy.
(c) Security for Funds. All funds created by this Ordinance shall be secured in the manner
and to the fullest extent required by law for the security of funds of the City.
OTOWN/002005: Bond Ordinance 16
(d) Maintenance of Funds. Any funds created pursuant to this Ordinance may be created
as separate funds or accounts or as subaccounts of the City's General Fund held by the City's
depository, and, as such, not held in separate bank accounts, such treatment shall not constitute a
commingling of the monies in such funds or of such funds and the City shall keep full and complete
records indicating the monies and investments credited to each such fund.
(e) Escrow Fund. A portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, together with any cash
contribution, in an amount necessary to refund the Refunded Obligations shall be deposited in the
Escrow Fund created and governed by the terms of the Escrow Agreement dated April 15, 2005
attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
(f) Interest Earnings. Interest earnings derived from the investment of proceeds from the sale
of the Bonds shall be used along with the Bond proceeds for the purpose for which the Bonds are
issued as set forth in Section 1 hereof or to pay principal or interest payments on the Bonds; provided
that after completion of such purpose, if any of such interest earnings remain on hand, such interest
earnings shall be deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund. It is further provided, however, that any
interest earnings on bond proceeds which are required to be rebated to the United States of America
pursuant to Section 11 hereof in order to prevent the Bonds from being arbitrage bonds shall be so
rebated and not considered as interest earnings for the purposes of this Section.

been made by the City with the Paying Agent/Registrar or an eligible trust company or commercial
bank for the payment of its services until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable or
(3) any combination of (1) and (2). At such time as a Bond shall be deemed to be a Defeased Bond
hereunder, as aforesaid, such Bond and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by, payable
from, or entitled to the benefits of, the ad valorem taxes herein levied as provided in this Ordinance,
and such principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or Defeasance Securities.
(b) The deposit under clause (ii) of subsection (a) shall be deemed a payment of a Bond as
aforesaid when proper notice of redemption of such Bonds shall have been given or upon the
establishment of irrevokable provisions for the giving of such notice, in accordance with this

such Defeased Bonds the same as if they had not been defeased, and the City shall make proper
arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Ordinance.

furtherance thereof, the City covenants as follows:
(1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Bonds or the Refunded Obligations or the projects financed or refinanced therewith (less
amounts deposited to a reserve fund; if any) are used for any "private business use," as
defined in section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Bonds or the Refunded Obligations or the projects financed or refinanced therewith are so
used, such amounts, whether or not received by the City, with respect to such private business
use, do not, under the terms of this Ordinance or any underlying arrangement, directly or
indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service on
the Bonds, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code;

described in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the
Refunded Obligations or the projects financed or refinanced therewith (less amounts
deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a
"private business use" which is "related" and not "disproportionate," within the meaning of
section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use;
(3) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of
$5,000,000, or 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds (less amounts deposited into a reserve
fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state or local
governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code;
O OWN/GO2005: Bond Ordinance 20
(4) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Bonds being
treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the Code;
(5) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Bonds being "federally
guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
(6) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, directly or
indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire
investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces a materially
higher yield over the term of the Bonds, other than investment property acquired with --
(A) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3
years or less or, in the case of a refunding bond, for a period of 30 days,
(B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of
section 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund
to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds;
(7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated as
proceeds of the Bonds, as may be necessary, so that the Bonds do not otherwise contravene
the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent
applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings); and
(8) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period
(beginning on the date of delivery of the Bonds) an amount that is at least equal to 90 percent
of the "Excess Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(f) of the Code and to pay to the
United States of America, not later than 60 days after the Bonds have been paid in full, 100
percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section
148(f) of the Code.
(b) Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (8), a "Rebate
Fund" is hereby established by the City for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such
fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without limitation the
bondholders. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with section
148 of the Code.
(c) Proceeds. The City understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds"
as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred proceeds (if
any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds expended prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds. It is
the understanding of the City that the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance
with the Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury
pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which modify or
expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Bonds, the City will not be required to comply
GTOWN/GO2005: Bond Ordinance 21
with any covenant contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of
nationally recognized bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income
taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or
rulings are hereafter promulgated which impose additional requirements which are applicable to the
Bonds, the City agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the
opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal income
taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention,
the City hereby authorizes and directs the City Manager or Director of Finance to execute any
documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the
City, which may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the
Bonds.
(d) Allocation Of, and Limitation On, Expenditures for the Project. The City covenants to
account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings to be used for the purposes
described in Section 1 of this Ordinance (the "Project") on its books and records in accordance with
the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The City recognizes that in order for the proceeds
to be considered used for the reimbursement of costs, the proceeds must be allocated to expenditures
within 18 months of the later of the date that (1) the expenditure is made, or (2) the Project is
completed; but in no event later than three years after the date on which the original expenditure is
paid. The foregoing notwithstanding, the City recognizes that in order for proceeds to be expended
under the Internal Revenue Code, the sale proceeds or investment earnings must be expended no
more than 60 days after the earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary of the delivery of the Bonds, or (2) the
date the Bonds are retired. The City agrees to obtain the advice ofnationally-recognized bond counsel
if such expenditure fails to comply with the foregoing to assure that such expenditure will not
adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. For purposes hereof, the City shall not be
obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to comply will not
adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest.
(e). Disposition of Project. The City covenants that the property constituting the projects
financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the 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 ofnationally-recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely
affect the tax-exempt status ofthe Bonds. For purposes of the foregoing, the portion of the property
comprising personal property and disposed in the ordinary course shall not be treated as a transaction
resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes hereof, the City shall not be
obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to comply will not
adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest.
