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 registered owners transferring
or exchanging Series 2005 Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions ofthis Ordinance.

mandatory sinking fund redemptions on the Parity Obligations in substantially equal semi-annual
installments on or before each February 15 and August 15.
The required semi-annual deposits and credits to the Interest and Sinking Fund shall
continue to be made as hereinabove provided until such time as (i) the total amount on deposit in and
credited to the Interest and Sinking Fund and the Reserve Fund (excluding any Reserve Fund
Obligation) is equal to the amount required to fully pay and discharge all Outstanding Parity
Obligations (principal, premium, if any, and interest) or (ii) the Parity Obligations are no longer
outstanding.
Accrued interest and capitalized interest, if any, received from the purchaser of any Parity
Obligation shall be taken into consideration and reduce the amount of the semi-annual deposits and
credits hereinabove required into the Interest and Sinking Fund.
SECTION 12, RESERVE FUND. (a) To accumulate and maintain a reserve for the
payment of the Series 2005 Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Obligations equal to the Average
Annual Debt Service Requirements of the Series 2005 Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Obligations
(calculated by the City at the beginning of each Fiscal Year) (the "Required Reserve Amount"), the
Reserve Fund has been established and shall be maintained by the City. Earnings and income derived
from the investment of amounts held for the credit of the Reserve Fund shall be retained in the
Reserve Fund until the Reserve Fund contains the Required Reserve Amount; thereafter, such
GE0RGIWNlUnUtEV2005: Ordinance 8
earnings and income shall be deposited to the credit of the Revenue Fund. As provided in Section
11, the City shall deposit and credit to the Reserve Fund amounts required to maintain the balance
in the Reserve Fund in an amount equal to the Required Reserve Amount. There shall be deposited
into the Reserve Fund any Reserve Fund Obligations so designated by the City. All funds, investments
and Reserve Fund Obligations on deposit and credited to the Reserve Fund shall be used solely for
(i) the payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2005 Bonds and the Outstanding Parity
Obligations, when and to the extent other funds available for such purposes are insufficient, (ii) to
make Reserve Fund Obligation Payments and (iii) to retire the last Stated Maturity or Stated
Maturities of or interest on the Series 2005 Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Obligations.
(b) When and for so long as the cash, investments and Reserve Fund Obligations in the
Reserve Fund equal the Required Reserve Amount, no deposits need be made to the credit of the
Reserve Fund; but, if and when the Reserve Fund at any time contains less than the Required Reserve
Amount, the City covenants and agrees that the City shall cure the deficiency in the Reserve Fund by
resuming the Required Reserve Fund Deposits to such Fund from the Pledged Revenues in
accordance with Section 10 by monthly deposits and credits in amounts equal to not less than 1/60th
of the Required Reserve Amount with any such deficiency payments being made on or before each
August 15 and February 15 until the Required Reserve Amount has been fully restored; provided,
however, that no such deposits shall be made into the Reserve Fund during any six month period
beginning on August 15 and February 15 until there has been deposited into the Interest and Sinking
Fund the full amount required to be deposited therein by the next following August 15 and February
15, as the case may be. In addition, in the event that a portion of the Required Reserve Amount is
represented by a Reserve Fund Obligation, the Required Reserve Amount shall be restored as soon
as possible from monthly deposits of Pledged Revenues on deposit in the Revenue Fund in
accordance with Section 10, but subject to making the full deposits and credits to the Interest and
Sinking Fund required to be made by the next following August 15 and February 15, as the case may
be. The City further covenants and agrees that, subject only to the prior deposits and credits to be
made to the Interest and Sinking Fund, the Pledged Revenues shall be applied and appropriated and
used to establish and maintain the Required Reserve Amount, including by paying Reserve Fund
Obligation Payments when due, and any reserve established for the benefit of any issue or series of
Additional Parity Obligations and to cure any deficiency in such amounts as required by the terms of
this Ordinance and any other ordinance pertaining to the issuance of Additional Parity Obligations.
During such time as the Reserve Fund contains the Required Reserve Amount, the
obligation to maintain the Required Reserve Amount has been suspended pursuant to subsection (d)
below or any cash is replaced with a Reserve Fund Obligation pursuant to subsection (c) below, the
City may, at its option, withdraw all surplus funds in the Reserve Fund and deposit such surplus in
the Interest and Sinking Fund or otherwise use such amount in any manner permitted by law.
(c) A Reserve Fund Obligation issued in an amount equal to all or part of the Required
Reserve Amount for the Series 2005 Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Obligations may be used in
lieu of depositing cash into the Reserve Fund. In addition, a Reserve Fund Obligation may be
substituted for monies and investments in the Reserve Fund if the substitution of the Reserve Fund
Obligation will not, in and of itself, cause any ratings then assigned to the Series 2005 Bonds and the
GEORGiWN/U77GREV2005: Ordinance 9
Outstanding Parity Obligations by any Rating Agency to be lowered and the ordinance authorizing
the substitution of the Reserve Fund Obligation for all or part of the Required Reserve Amount
contains a finding that such substitution is cost effective.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the requirement set forth
in subsection (a) above to maintain the Required Reserve Amount in the Reserve Fund shall be
suspended for such time as the Net Revenues for each Fiscal Year are equal to at least 1.35 times the
Average Annual Debt Service Requirements. In the event that the Net Revenues for any Fiscal Year
are less than 1.35 times the Average Annual Debt Service Requirements, the City will be required to
commence making Required Reserve Fund Deposits, as provided in subsection (b) above, and to
continue such Required Reserve Fund Deposits until the earlier of (i) such time as the Reserve Fund
contains the Required Reserve Amount or (ii) the Net Revenues in each of two consecutive years
have been equal to not less than 1.35 times the Average Annual Debt Service Requirements.
(e) A Reserve Fund Obligation permitted under (a) above, must be in the form of a surety
bond or insurance policy meeting the requirements described below.
(1) (i) A surety bond or insurance policy issued to the Paying Agent/Registrar, as agent
ofthe Holders, by a company licensed to issue an insurance policy guaranteeing the timely
payment of debt service on the Parity Obligations (a "municipal bond insurer") if the
claims paying ability of the issuer thereof shall be rated "AAA" or "Aaa", respectively, by
S&P and Moody's, or (ii) a surety bond or insurance policy issued to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, as agent ofthe Holders, by an entity other than a municipal bond insurer,
if the form and substance of such instrument and the issuer thereof shall be approved in
writing by each Bond Insurer of record.
(2) The obligation to reimburse the issuer of a Reserve Fund Obligation for any claims
or draws upon such Reserve Fund Obligation in accordance with its terms, including
expenses incurred in connection with such claims or draws, to the extent permitted by
law, (a Reserve Fund Obligation Payment) shall be made from the deposits made to the
Reserve Fund as provided in this Section and in Section 10. The Reserve Fund Obligation
shall provide for a revolving feature under which the amount available thereunder will be
reinstated to the extent of any reimbursement of draws or claims paid. If the revolving
feature is suspended or terminated for any reason, the right of the issuer of the Reserve
Fund Obligation to reimbursement will be subordinated to the cash replenishment of the
Reserve Fund to an amount equal to the difference. between the full original amount
available under the Reserve Fund Obligation and the amount then available for further
draws or claims. In the event (a) the issuer of a Reserve Fund Obligation becomes
insolvent, or (b) the issuer of a Reserve Fund Obligation defaults in its payment
obligations thereunder, or (c) the claims paying ability ofthe issuer ofthe insurance policy
or surety bond falls below "AAA" or "Aaa", by S&P and Moody's, respectively, the
obligation to reimburse the issuer of the Reserve Fund Obligation shall be subordinated
to the cash replenishment of the Reserve Fund.
OEORO7WN/LMLREV2005: Ordinance 10
(3) In the event (a) the revolving reinstatement feature described in the preceding
paragraph is suspended or terminated, or (b) the rating of the claims paying ability of the
issuer of the surety bond or insurance policy falls below "AAA" or "Aaa", by S&P and
Moody's, respectively, the City shall either (i) deposit into the Reserve Fund, in
accordance with this Section and Section 11, an amount sufficient to cause the cash or
investments credited to the Reserve Fund to accumulate to the Required Reserve
Amount, or (ii) replace such instrument with a surety bond or insurance policy meeting
the requirements of 1 and 2 above, within six months of such occurrence. In the event
(a) the rating of the claims -paying ability of the issuer of the surety bond or insurance
policy falls below "A" by S&P and Moody's, or (b) the issuer of the Reserve Fund
Obligation defaults in its payment obligations hereunder, or (c) the issuer of the Reserve
Fund Obligation becomes insolvent, the City shall either (i) deposit into the Reserve Fund,
in accordance with this Section, amounts sufficient to cause the cash or investments on
deposit in the Reserve Fund to accumulate to the Required Reserve Amount, or (ii)
replace such instrument with a surety bond or insurance policy meeting the requirements
of I and 2 above within six months of such occurrence.
(4) The Paying Agent/Registrar shall ascertain the necessity for a claim or draw upon any
Reserve Fund Obligation and provide notice to the issuer of the Reserve Fund Obligation
in accordance with its terms not later than three days (or such appropriate time period as
will, when combined with the timing of required payment under the Reserve Fund
Obligation, ensure payment under the Reserve Fund Obligation on or before the interest
payment date) prior to each date upon which the principal of or interest on the Parity
Obligations will be due.
It is recognized that a Reserve Fund Obligation may be issued which is payable only with
respect to a part of the Series 2005 Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Obligations with the remainder
of the Required Reserve Amount being satisfied by monies and investments and in that case any
draws upon the Reserve Fund will have to be made on a pro -rata basis to ensure that every Parity
Obligation enjoys an equal amount of security. Therefore, (i) draws upon one or more such Reserve
Fund Obligations shall be made on a pro -rata basis with cash and investments available in the Reserve
Fund and (ii) deposits and credits to the Reserve Fund to restore it to the Required Reserve Amount
shall be utilized on a pro -rata basis to pay Reserve Fund Obligation Payments to reimburse the issuers
of the Reserve Fund Obligations, thus restoring that part of the Required Reserve Amount, and to
restore with cash and investments the balance of the Required Reserve Amount.
SECTION 13. EXCESS BOND PROCEEDS. Any proceeds of Parity Obligations not
required to effectuate the purposes for which such Parity Obligations were issued, as provided in the
respective ordinances authorizing the issuance of such Parity Obligations, or for the payment of the
costs of issuance of such Parity Obligations shallbe deposited and credited to the Interest and Sinking
Fund and shall be taken into consideration and shall reduce the amount of semi-annual deposits and
credits to the Interest and Sinking Fund from the Pledged Revenues or used to redeem or purchase
Parity Obligations,
GEORG7W N/UnLREV2005: Ordinance 1 I
SECTION 14. DEFICIENCIES - EXCESS PLEDGED OR NET REVENUES. (a)
If on any occasion there shall not be sufficient Pledged Revenues (after making all payments
pertaining to all Parity Obligations) to make the required deposits and credits to the Interest and
Sinking Fund and the Reserve Fund, then such deficiency shall be cured as soon as possible from the
next available unallocated Pledged Revenues, or from any other sources available for such purpose,
and such deposits and credits shall be in addition to the amounts otherwise required to be deposited
and credited to these Funds.
(b) Subject to making the deposits and credits required by this Ordinance, or any
ordinances authorizing the issuance of Additional Parity Obligations, or the payments and credits
required by the provisions ofthe ordinances authorizing the issuance of Subordinate Lien Obligations
hereafter issued by the City, the excess Net Revenues may be used for any lawful purpose.
SECTION 15. INVESTMENT OF FUNDS - VALUATION - TRANSFER OF
INVESTMENT INCOME. (a) Money in the Revenue Fund, the Interest and Sinking Fund and the
Reserve Fund may, at the option of the City, be invested in Permitted Investments; provided that all
such deposits and investments shall be made in such manner that the money required to be expended
from any fund will be available at the proper time or times. All such investments shall be valued in
terms of current market value no less frequently than the last business day of the City's Fiscal Year,
except that any direct obligations of the United States of America - State and Local Government
Series shall be continuously valued at their par value or principal face amount. Any obligation in
which money is so invested shall be kept and held at the Depository, except as otherwise permitted
by the laws applicable to the City. For purposes of maximizing investment returns, money in such
funds may be invested, together with money in other funds or with other money of the City, in
common investments of the kind described above, or in a common pool of such investments held by
the City or its designated agent, which shall not be deemed to be or constitute a commingling of such
money or funds provided that safekeeping receipts or certificates of participation clearly evidencing
the investment or investment pool in which such money is invested and the share thereof purchased
with such money or owned by such fund are held by or on behalf of each such fund. If necessary,
such investments shall be promptly sold to prevent any default.
(b) All interest and income derived from such investments (other than interest and income
derived from amounts credited to the Reserve Fund if the Reserve Fund does not contain the
Required Reserve Amount) shall be credited to the Revenue Fund semi-annually and shall constitute
Gross Revenues.
SECTION 16. PAYMENT OF PARITY OBLIGATIONS. While any of the Parity
Obligations are outstanding, the City shall transfer to the respective paying agent/registrar therefor,
from funds on deposit in and credited to the Interest and Sinking Fund, and, if necessary, in the
Reserve Fund, amounts sufficient to fully pay and discharge promptly the interest on and principal
of the Parity Obligations as shall become due on each interest or principal payment date, or date of
redemption of the Parity Obligations; such transfer of funds must be made in such manner as will
cause immediately available funds to be deposited with each respective paying agent/registrar for the
Parity Obligations not later than the business day next preceding the date such payment is due on the
GEORG7WN[UnLREV2005: Otdina= 12
Parity Obligations. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall destroy all paid Parity Obligations and furnish
the City with an appropriate certificate of cancellation or destruction.
SECTION 17. RATES AND CHARGES. For the benefit of the Holders of the Parity
Obligations and in addition to all provisions and covenants in the laws of the State of Texas and in
this Ordinance, the City hereby expressly stipulates and agrees, while any of the Parity Obligations
are outstanding, to establish and maintain rates and charges for facilities and services afforded by the
System that are reasonably expected, on the basis of available information and experience and with
due allowance for contingencies, to produce Gross Revenues in each Fiscal Year reasonably
anticipated to be sufficient:
A. to pay Maintenance and Operating Expenses;
B. to produce Pledged
Revenues at least
equal to the greater of
1.25 times the Average
Annual Debt Service Requirements
or 1.10 times the
Maximum Annual Debt
Service Requirements;
C. to produce Pledged Revenues in amounts sufficient to enable the City to make the
deposits and credits, if any, from Pledged Revenues (i) to the Reserve Fund to restore the Required
Reserve Amount in accordance with Section 12 of this Ordinance, including the payment of any
Reserve Fund Obligation Payment then due, and (ii) to other reserve funds to establish or restore the
reserve securing any issue or series of Additional Parity Obligations;
D. to produce Pledged Revenues, together with any other lawfully available funds
(including the proceeds of Debt which the City expects will be utilized to pay all or part of the
principal of and/or interest on any obligations described in this subsection D), sufficient to pay the
principal of and interest on any Subordinate Lien Obligations issued by the City and the amounts
required to be deposited in any reserve or contingency fund created for the payment and security of
the Subordinate Lien Obligations and any other obligations or evidences of indebtedness issued or
incurred that are payable from, in whole or in part, a subordinate lien on and pledge of the Pledged
Revenues; and
E. to pay any other Debt payable from the Pledged Revenues and/or secured by a lien on
the Pledged Revenues.
Should the annual audit report required by Section 19 hereof reflect that the Pledged
Revenues for the Fiscal Year covered thereby were less than necessary to meet the requirements of
this Section, the City Council will review the operations of the System and the rates and charges for
services provided, and the City Council will make the necessary adjustments or revisions, if any, in
order that the Pledged Revenues for the succeeding year will be sufficient to satisfy the foregoing
coverage requirements.
SECTION 18. GENERAL COVENANTS. The City further covenants and agrees that
in accordance with and to the extent required or permitted by law:
GEORG7WN/UnLREV2005: Ocdin=cc 13
(a) Performance. It will faithfully perform at all times any and all covenants,
undertakings, stipulations and provisions contained in any ordinance authorizing the issuance ofParity
Obligations, including this Ordinance, and in each and every Parity Obligation; it will promptly pay
or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on every Parity Obligation on the dates and in the
places and manner prescribed in such ordinances and obligations; and it will, at the times and in the
manner prescribed, deposit and credit or cause to be deposited and credited the amounts required to
be deposited and credited to the Interest and Sinking Fund and the Reserve Fund.
(b) City's Legal Authority. It is a duly created and existing home rule city of the State
of Texas, and is duly authorized under the laws of the State of Texas to create and issue the
Series 2005 Bonds; that all action on its part for the creation and issuance of the Series 2005 Bonds
has been duly and effectively taken, and that the Series 2005 Bonds in the hands of the Holders
thereof are and will be valid and enforceable special obligations of the City in accordance with their
WPM
(c) Title. It has or will obtain lawful title to the lands, buildings, structures and facilities
constituting the System, that it warrants that it will defend the title to all the aforesaid lands,
buildings, structures and facilities, and every part thereof, for the benefit of the Holders of the
Series 2005 Bonds, the Previously Issued Parity Obligations and Additional Parity Obligations,
against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever, that it is lawfully qualified to pledge the
Pledged Revenues to the payment of the Series 2005 Bonds, the Previously Issued Parity Obligations
and Additional Parity Obligations in the manner prescribed herein, and has lawfully exercised such
rights.
(d) Liens. It will from time to time and before the same become delinquent pay and
discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental charges, if any, which shall be lawfully imposed
upon it, or the System; it will pay all lawful claims for rents, royalties, labor, materials and supplies
which if unpaid might by law become alien or charge thereon, the lien of which would be prior to or
interfere with the liens hereof, so that the priority of the liens granted hereunder shall be fully
preserved in the manner provided herein, and it will not create or suffer to be created any mechanic's,
laborer's, materialman's or other lien or charge which might or could be prior to the liens hereof, or
do or suffer any matter or thing whereby the liens hereof might or could be impaired; provided,
however, that no such tax, assessment or charge, and that no such claims which might be used as the
basis of a mechanic's, laborer's, materiahnan's or other lien or charge, shall be required to be paid so
long as the validity of the same shall be contested in good faith by the City.
(e) Operation of System; No Free Service. It will, while the Parity Obligations are
outstanding and unpaid, continuously and efficiently operate the System, and shall maintain the
System in good condition, repair and working order, all at reasonable cost. No free service of the
System shall be allowed, and should the City or any of its agencies or instrumentalities make use of
the services and facilities of the System, payment of the reasonable value shall be made by the City
out of funds from sources other than the Gross Revenues of the System, unless made from surplus
or excess Pledged Revenues as permitted in Section 14.
OEORO1WNILMLREV2005: Ordinance 14
(f) Further Encumbrance. While the Parity Obligations are outstanding and unpaid, it will
not additionally encumber the Pledged Revenues in any manner, except as permitted in this Ordinance
in connection with Additional Parity Obligations, unless said encumbrance is made junior and
subordinate in all respects to the liens, pledges, covenants and agreements of this Ordinance; but the
right of the City to issue or incur obligations payable from a subordinate lien on the Pledged Revenues
is specifically recognized and retained.
(g) Sale or Disposal of Property. While the Parity Obligations are outstanding and
unpaid, it will not sell, convey, mortgage, encumber, lease or in any manner transfer title to, or
otherwise dispose ofthe System, or any significant or substantial part thereof; provided that whenever
the City deems it necessary to dispose of any other property, machinery, fixtures or equipment, it may
sell or otherwise dispose of such property, machinery, fixtures or equipment when it has made
arrangements to replace the same or provide substitutes therefor, unless it is determined that no such
replacement or substitute is necessary; and, provided further, that the City retains the right to sell,
convey, mortgage, encumber, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant or substantial part of the
System if (i) the City Manager delivers a certificate to the City Council to the effect that, following
such action by the City, the System is expected to produce Gross Revenues in amounts sufficient in
each Fiscal Year while any of the Parity Obligations are to be outstanding to comply with the
obligations of the City contained in this Ordinance and in the ordinances authorizing the issuance of
Additional Parity Obligations; (ii) the City Council makes a finding and determination to the same
effect as the certificate of the City Manager set forth in (i) above and (iii) each Rating Agency then
maintaining a rating on any Parity Obligation delivers a letter to the City to the effect that such sale,
conveyance, mortgage, encumbrance, lease or other disposition will not cause the Rating Agency to
withdraw or lower the rating then in effect. Proceeds from any sale hereunder not used to replace
or provide for substitution of such property sold, shall be used for improvements to the System or
to purchase or redeem Parity Obligations.
(h) Insurance. (1) It shall cause to be insured such parts of the System as would usually
be insured by municipal corporations operating like properties, with a responsible insurance company
or companies, against risks, accidents or casualties against which and to the extent insurance is
usually carried by municipal corporations operating like properties, including, to the extent reasonably
obtainable, fire and extended coverage insurance, insurance against damage by floods, and use and
occupancy insurance. Public liability and property damage insurance shall also be carried unless the
City Attorney of the City gives a written opinion to the effect that the City is not liable for claims
which would be protected by such insurance. At any time while any contractor engaged in
construction work shall be fully responsible therefor, the City shall not be required to carry insurance
on the work being constructed if the contractor is required to carry appropriate insurance. All such
policies shall be open to the inspection of the Holders and their representatives at all reasonable times.
Upon the happening of any loss or damage covered by insurance from one or more of said causes,
the City shall make due proof of loss and shall do all things necessary or desirable to cause the
insuring companies to make payment in full directly to the City. The proceeds of insurance covering
such property are hereby pledged as security for the Parity Obligations and, together with any other
funds necessary and available for such purpose, shall be used forthwith by the City for repairing the
property damaged or replacing the property destroyed; provided, however, that if said insurance
GE0RG'TWN/U'nLREV2005: Ordinance 15
proceeds and other funds are insufficient for such purpose, then said insurance proceeds pertaining
to the System shall be used promptly as follows:
(i) for the redemption prior to maturity of the Parity Obligations,
ratably in the proportion that the Outstanding principal of each series of Parity Obligations
bears to the total Outstanding principal of all Parity Obligations, provided that if on any
such occasion the principal of any such series is not subject to redemption, it shall not be
regarded as Outstanding in making the foregoing computation; or
(ii) if none of the Outstanding Parity Obligations is subject to
redemption, then for the purchase on the open market and retirement of said Parity
Obligations in the same proportion as prescribed in the foregoing clause (i), to the extent
practicable; provided that the purchase price for any Parity Obligation shall not exceed
the redemption price of such Parity Obligation on the first date upon which it becomes
subject to redemption; or
(iii) to the extent that the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) cannot be
complied with at the time, the insurance proceeds, or the remainder thereof, shall be
deposited in a special and separate trust fund, at an official depository of the City, to be
designated the Insurance Account. The Insurance Account shall be held until such time
as the foregoing clauses (i) and/or (ii) can be complied with, or until other funds become
available which, together with the Insurance Account, will be sufficient to make the
repairs or replacements originally required, whichever of said events occurs first.
(2) The foregoing provisions of (1) above notwithstanding, the City shall have authority
to enter into coinsurance or similar plans where risk of loss is shared in whole or in part by
the City.
(3) The annual audit hereinafter required shall contain a section commenting on whether
or not the City has complied with the requirements of this Section with respect to the
maintenance of insurance, and listing all policies carried, and whether or not all insurance
premiums upon the insurance policies to which reference is hereinbefore made have beenpaid.
(4) The payment of premiums for all insurance policies required under the provisions
hereof and the costs associated with the maintenance of any self-insurance program shall be
considered Maintenance and Operating Expenses. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be
construed as requiring the City to expend any funds which are derived from sources other
than the operation of the System, but nothing herein shall be construed as preventing the City
from doing so.
(i) Governmental Agencies. It will comply with all of the terms and conditions of any and
all franchises, permits and authorizations applicable to or necessary with respect to the System, and
which have been obtained from any governmental agency; and the City has or will obtain and keep
in full force and effect all franchises, permits, authorization and other requirements applicable to or
GEOROTWNILMLREV2005: Ordinance 16
necessary with respect to the acquisition, construction, equipment, operation and maintenance of the
System.
0) No Competition. It will not grant any franchise or permit for the acquisition, construction
or operation of any competing facilities which might be used as a substitute for the System's facilities
and, to the extent that it legally may, the City will prohibit any such competing facilities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City retains the right, however, to 'opt in" to electric competition
in accordance with State law if "opting in" will not materially adversely impact the Net Revenues of
the System as evidenced by a certification of the City Manager.
(k) Disaggregation of System. The City retains the right to disaggregate the System into one
or more independent resulting systems if(i) the City Manager delivers a certificate to the City Council
to the effect that, following such action by the City, the remaining System is expected to produce
Gross Revenues in amounts sufficient in each Fiscal Year while any of the Parity Obligations are to
be outstanding to comply with the obligations of the City contained in this Ordinance and in the
ordinances authorizing the Previously Issued Parity Obligations and the issuance of Additional Parity
Obligations; (ii) the City Council makes a finding and determination to the same effect as the
certificate of the City Manager set forth in (i) above and (iii) each Rating Agency then maintaining
a rating on any Parity Obligation delivers a letter to the City to the effect that such disaggregation will
not cause the Rating Agency to withdraw or lower the rating then in effect on the Outstanding Parity
Obligations,
SECTION 19. RECORDS AND ACCOUNTS - ANNUAL AUDIT. The City covenants
and agrees that so long as any of the Parity Obligations remain Outstanding, the City will keep and
maintain a separate and complete system of records and accounts pertaining to the operations of the
System in which full, complete, true, proper, and correct entries shall be made of all dealings,
transactions, business and affairs relating thereto, or which in any way affect or pertain to the System
or the Gross Revenues or the Net Revenues thereof, as provided by generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied, and by Sections 1502.067 and 1502.068, Texas Government Code,
as amended, or other applicable law. The Holders of the Parity Obligations or any duly authorized
agent or agents of such Holders shall have the right to inspect the System and all properties
comprising the same. The City further agrees that, following the close of each Fiscal Year, the City
will cause an audit report of such records and accounts to be made by an Accountant. Copies of each
annual audit shall be made available for public inspection during normal business hours at the City's
principal office and the City Secretary's office and may be furnished to, upon written request, any
Holder upon payment of the reasonable copying and mailing charges. Expenses incurred in making
the annual audit of the operations of the System shall be considered as Maintenance and Operating
Expenses.
SECTION 20. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON
THE BONDS. (a) Covenants. The City covenants to take any action necessary to assure, or refrain
from any action which would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as obligations described
in section 103 ofthe Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the interest on which
OEORG7WN/u77LREV2005: Ordinance 17
is not includable in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of federal income taxation. In
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 projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any)
are used for any "private business use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) ofthe Code or, ifmore
than 10 percent ofthe proceeds or the projects financed 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;
(2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described
in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the projects
financed 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 ofsection 141(b)(3) ofthe 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;
(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 or less until such proceeds
are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds are issued,
(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;
OEORG WN/UrILREV2005: Ordinance 18
(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
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 the 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 2 of this Ordinance (the "Project") on its books and records in accordance with
the requirements of the 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
GEORO WNILMLUV2005: Ordinance 19
notwithstanding, the City recognizes that in order for proceeds to be expended under the 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 of nationally -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 of this subsection, the City shall not be obligated to comply with this
covenant if it obtains an opinion of 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.
(e) Disposition of Project. The City covenants that the property constituting the Project 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 of the Bond. For purposes of this
subsection, 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 of this subsection, the City shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains
an opinion of 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.

of this Ordinance that causes Series 2005 Bonds no longer to be outstanding.

of the Series 2005 Bonds, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit or
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder to any other person. The City undertakes to

CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY
BREACH BY THE CITY, WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF
ANY COVENANT SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, BUT EVERY RIGHT AND REMEDY OF
ANY SUCH PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR OR ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH
BREACH SHALL BE LIMITED TO AN ACTION FOR MANDAMUS OR SPECIFIC
PERFORMANCE.
No default by the City in observing or performing its obligations under this Section shall
comprise a breach of or default under the Ordinance for purposes of any other provision of this

changed circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements, a change in law or a change
in the identity, nature, status or type of operations of the System, but only if (1) the provisions of this
Section, as so amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Series 2005 Bonds

amendments or interpretations of the Rule since such offering as well as such changed circumstances
and (2) either (a) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount (or any greater amount

materially impair the interest of the Holders and beneficial owners of the Series 2005 Bonds. The
City may also amend or repeal the provisions of this continuing disclosure agreement if the SEC
amends or repeals the applicable provision of the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction enters judgment
that such provisions of the Rule are invalid, but only if and to the extent that the provisions of this
sentence would not prevent an underwriter from lawfully purchasing or selling Series 2005 Bonds
in the primary offering ofthe Series 2005 Bonds. Ifthe City so amends the provisions ofthis Section,
it shall include with any amended financial information or operating data next provided in accordance
OE0RMVN/UTILREV2005: Ordinance 22

to authorize, issue and deliver additional parity revenue bonds or other obligations (herein called
"Additional Parity Obligations"), in accordance with law, in any amounts, for purposes of extending,
improving or repairing the System or for the purpose of refunding of any Parity Obligations,
Subordinate Lien Obligations or other obligations of the City incurred in connection with the
ownership or operation of the System. Such Additional Parity Obligations, if and when authorized,
issued and delivered in accordance with this Ordinance, shall be secured by and made payable equally
and ratably on a parity with all other Outstanding Parity Obligations, from the lien on and pledge of
the Pledged Revenues herein granted.
(b) The Interest and Sinking Fund shall secure and be used to pay all Parity Obligations.
Each ordinance under which Additional Parity Obligations are issued shall provide and require that,
in addition to the amounts required by the provisions of this Ordinance and the provisions of any

Parity Obligations to be deposited to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund, the City shall deposit

of all principal of and interest on said Additional Parity Obligations then being issued, as the same
come due.
(c) The City may create and establish a reserve fund pursuant to the provisions of any
ordinance authorizing the issuance of Additional Parity Obligations for the purpose of securing that
particular issue or series of Parity Obligations or any specific group of issues or series of Parity
Obligations and the amounts once deposited or credited to said reserve funds shall no longer
constitute Net Revenues and shall be held solely for the benefit of the Holders of the particular Parity
Obligations for which such reserve fund was established. Each such reserve fund shall be designated
in such manner as is necessary to identify the Parity Obligations it secures and to distinguish such
reserve fund from the Reserve Fund and the reserve funds created for the benefit of other Parity
Obligations.
SECTION 23. FURTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL PARITY
OBLIGATIONS. That Additional Parity Obligations shall be issued only in accordance with this
Ordinance, but notwithstanding any provisions of this Ordinance to the contrary, no installment,

that the City is not in default as to any covenant, condition or obligation in connection with all
Outstanding Parity Obligations, and the ordinances authorizing same, and that the Interest and
Sinking Fund, the Reserve Fund and any reserve fund securing any other series or issue of Parity
Obligations each contains the amount then required to be therein.
GEORGtWN/Un1AEV2005: Ordinance 23
(b) An Accountant signs and delivers to the City a written certificate to the effect that, during
either the next preceding Fiscal Year, or any twelve consecutive calendar month period ending not
more than ninety days prior to the date of the then proposed Additional Parity Obligations, the Net
Earnings were, in the opinion thereof, at least equal to the sum of 1.25 times the Average Annual
Debt Service Requirements (computed on a Fiscal Year basis), including Amortization Installments,
of the Parity Obligations and the Additional Parity Obligations to be outstanding after the issuance
of the then proposed Additional Parity Obligations and 1.10 times the average annual debt service
requirement (computed in the same manner as for Parity Obligations) of the Subordinate Lien
Obligations to be outstanding after the issuance of the then proposed Additional Parity Obligations.
(c) In making a determination of Net Earnings for any of the purposes described in this
Section, the Accountant may take into consideration a change in the rates and charges for services
and facilities afforded by the System that became effective at least 60 days prior to the last day of the
period for which Net Earnings are determined and, for purposes of satisfying the Net Earnings tests
described above, make a pro forma determination of the Net Earnings of the System for the period
of time covered by said Accountant's certification or opinion based on such change in rates and
charges being in effect for the entire period covered by said Accountant's certificate or opinion.
As used in this Section, the term "Net Earnings" shall mean the Gross Revenues of the System
after deducting the Maintenance and Operating Expenses of the System but not expenditures which,
under standard accounting practice, should be charged to capital expenditures.
SECTION 24. ISSUANCE OF SUBORDINATE LIEN OBLIGATIONS. The City hereby
reserves the right to issue, at any time, obligations including, but not limited to, Subordinate Lien
Obligations, payable from and equally and ratably secured, in whole or in part, by alien on and pledge

limited, special obligations of the City payable from and equally and ratably secured solely by a first

raised through taxation by the City.

purposes permitted by this Ordinance.

issued by a court of proper jurisdiction compelling and requiring the governing body of the City and
other officers of the City to observe and perform any covenant, condition or obligation prescribed in
this Ordinance; and
(b) no delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair
any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence
therein, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient. The specific remedy herein provided shall be cumulative of all other existing
remedies, and the specification of such remedy shall not be deemed to be exclusive.
SECTION 29. DEFEASANCE OF SERIES 2005 BONDS. (a) Any Series 2005 Bond and
the interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased
Bond") within the meaning of this Ordinance, except to the extent provided in subsections (c) and
(e) of this Section, when payment of the principal of such Series 2005 Bond, plus interest thereon to
the due date or dates (whether such due date or dates be by reason of maturity, upon redemption, or
otherwise) either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof
(including the giving of any required notice of redemption or the establishment of irrevokable
provisions for the giving of such notice) or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such due
date by irrevocably depositing with or making available to the Paying Agent/Registrar or an eligible
trust company or commercial bank for such payment (1) lawful money of the United States of
America sufficient to make such payment, (2) Defeasance Securities, certified by an independent
public accounting firm of national reputation to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts
and at such times as will ensure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide
for such payment and when proper arrangements have 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 Series 2005 Bond shall be deemed to be a Defeased Bond hereunder, as aforesaid, such
Series 2005 Bond and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured by, payable from, or entitled to
the benefits of, the Pledged Revenues as provided in this Ordinance, and such principal and interest
shall be payable solely from such money or Defeasance Securities,
GE0RGTWN/UTILREV2005: Ordinance 25
(b) The deposit under clause (ii) of subsection (a) shall be deemed a payment of a Series 2005
Bond as aforesaid when proper notice ofredemption of such Series 2005 Bonds shall have been given
or upon the establishment of irrevokable provisions for the giving of such notice, in accordance with
this Ordinance. Any money so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar or an eligible trust
company or commercial bank as provided in this Section may at the discretion of the City also be
invested in Defeasance Securities, maturing in the amounts and at the times as hereinbefore set forth,

eligible trust company or commercial bank pursuant to this Section which is not required for the
payment of such Series 2005 Bond and premium, if any, and interest thereon with respect to which
such money has been so deposited, shall be remitted to the City.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of any other Section of this Ordinance which may be
contrary to the provisions of this Section, all money or Defeasance Securities set aside and held in
trust pursuant to the provisions of this Section for the payment of principal of the Series 2005 Bonds
and premium, if any, and interest thereon, shall be applied to and used solely for the payment of the
particular Series 2005 Bonds and premium, if any, and interest thereon, with respect to which such
money or Defeasance Securities have been so set aside in trust. Until all Defeased Bonds shall have
become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying
Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Bonds the same as ifthey had not been defeased, and the City shall
make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Ordinance.
(d) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Ordinance, ifmoney or Defeasance Securities
have been deposited or set aside with the Paying Agent/Registrar or an eligible trust company or
commercial bank pursuant to this Section for the payment of Series 2005 Bonds and such Series 2005
Bonds shall not have in fact been actually paid in full, no amendment of the provisions of this Section
shall be made without the consent ofthe registered owner ofeach Series 2005 Bond affected thereby.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) immediately above, to the extent that,
upon the defeasance of any Defeased Bond to be paid at its maturity, the City retains the right under
Texas law to later call that Defeased Bond for redemption in accordance with the provisions of this
Ordinance, the City may call such Defeased Bond for redemption upon complying with the provisions
of Texas law and upon the satisfaction of the provisions of subsection (a) immediately above with
respect to such Defeased Bond as though it was being defeased at the time of the exercise of the
option to redeem the Defeased Bond and the effect of the redemption is taken into account in
determining the sufficiency of the provisions made for the payment of the Defeased Bond,

SERIES 2005 BONDS. (a) Replacement Bonds. In the event any outstanding Series 2005 Bond
is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed,
executed and delivered, a new bond of the same principal amount, maturity and interest rate, as the

continuing in the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Series

case of a damaged or mutilated Series 2005 Bond) instead of issuing a replacement Series 2005 Bond,
provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section.

replacement bond, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such Series 2005

authorized and imposed upon the Paying Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver such Series 2005 Bonds in the form and manner and with the effect, as
provided in Section 5(a) of this Ordinance for Series 2005 Bonds issued in exchange for other Series
2005 Bonds.

The principal amount of the Term Bonds of a maturity required to be redeemed pursuant to the

by the principal amount of the Term Bonds of such maturity which, prior to the date of the mailing
of notice of such mandatory redemption, (i) shall have been acquired by the Issuer and delivered to
the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation, (ii) shall have been purchased and canceled by the Paying
Agent/Registrar at the request of the Issuer, or (iii) shall have been redeemed pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions described in the preceding paragraph and not theretofore credited against a

United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for any such
redemption to the Registered Owner of each Bond to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on
the Registration Books maintained by the Paying Agent/Registrar on the day such notice of
redemption is mailed. By the date fixed for any such redemption, due provision shall be made with
the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the required redemption price for the Bonds or
portions thereof which are to be so redeemed. If such written notice of redemption is mailed and if
due provision for such payment is made, all as provided above, the Bonds or portions thereof which
are to be so redeemed thereby automatically shall be treated as redeemed prior to their scheduled
maturities, and they shall not bear interest after the date fixed for redemption, and they shall not be
regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the Registered Owner to receive the redemption
price from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. If a portion of
any Bond shall be redeemed a substitute Bond or Bonds having the same maturity date, bearing
interest at the same rate, in any denomination or denominations in any integral multiple of $5,000,
at the written request of the Registered Owner, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof, will be issued to the Registered Owner upon the surrender thereof for
cancellation, at the expense of the Issuer, all as provided in the Bond Ordinance,
ALL BONDS OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully registered Bonds, without
interest coupons, in the denomination of any integral multiple of $5,000 (an "Authorized
Denomination"). As provided in the Bond Ordinance, this Bond, or any unredeemed portion hereof,
may, at the request of the Registered Owner or the assignee or assignees hereof, be assigned,
transferred and exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of fully registered Bonds, without
interest coupons, payable to the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may
be, having the same denomination or denominations in any integral multiple of $5,000 as requested
in writing by the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, upon
surrender of this Bond to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation, all in accordance with the form
and procedures set forth in the Bond Ordinance: Among other requirements for such assignment and
transfer, this Bond must be presented and surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar, together with
proper instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, evidencing assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof in any integral
multiple of $5,000 to the assignee or assignees in whose name or names this Bond or any such
portion or portions hereof is or are to be registered. The form of Assignment printed or endorsed
on this Bond may be executed by the Registered Owner to evidence the assignment hereof, but such
method is not exclusive, and other instruments of assignment satisfactory to the Paying
Agent/Registrar may be used to evidence the assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions
hereof from time to time by the Registered Owner. The Paying Agent/Registrar's reasonable standard
or customary fees and charges for transferring and exchanging any Bond or portion thereof shall be
paid by the Issuer, but any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto
shall be paid by the one requesting such assignment, transfer or exchange as a condition precedent
to the exercise of such privilege. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to make any such
transfer or exchange (i) during the period commencing with the close ofbusiness on any Record Date
and ending with the opening of business on the next following principal or interest payment date, or,
(ii) with respect to any Bond or any portion thereof called for redemption prior to maturity, within
GEOR67WN/UTQ.REv2005: Ordinance B-4
45 days prior to its redemption date; provided, however, such limitation of transfer shall not be
applicable to an exchange by the Registered Owner of an unredeemed balance of a Bond called for
redemption in part.
WHENEVER the beneficial ownership of this Bond is determined by a book entry at a
securities depository for the Bonds, the foregoing requirements of holding, delivering or transferring
this Bond shall be modified to require the appropriate person or entity to meet the requirements of
the securities depository as to registering or transferring the book entry to produce the same effect.
IN THE EVENT any Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds is changed by the Issuer, resigns
or otherwise ceases to act as such, the Issuer has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance that it promptly
will appoint a competent and legally qualified substitute therefor, and cause written notice thereof to
be mailed to the Registered Owners of the Bonds.
IT IS HEREBY certified, recited and covenanted that this Bond has been duly and validly
authorized, issued and delivered; that all acts, conditions and things required or proper to be
performed, exist, and be done precedent to or in the authorization, issuance and delivery of this Bond
have been performed, existed and been done in accordance with law; that this Bond is a special
obligation of the Issuer, and that the interest on and principal of this Bond, together with the
Previously Issued Parity Obligations and all other outstanding "Parity Obligations" (as defined in the
Bond Ordinance), as such interest comes due, and as such principal matures, are payable from and
secured by alien on and pledge of the "Pledged Revenues" of the "System" (which is generally
described as the Issuer's combined electric, waterworks and sewer system), all as provided in the
Bond Ordinance.
THE ISSUER also has reserved the right, subject to restrictions stated in the Ordinance, to
issue Additional Parity Obligations which also may be made payable from and equally and ratably
secured by a first lien on and pledge of, the Pledged Revenues of the System in the same manner and
to the same extent as this Series of Bonds.
THE ISSUER also has reserved the right, subject to restrictions stated in the Bond Ordinance
to issue Subordinate Lien Obligations payable from and equally and ratably secured, in whole or in
part, by a lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues (as defined in the Bond Ordinance), subordinate
and inferior in rank and dignity to the lien on and pledge of such Net Revenues securing payment of
the Bonds, the Previously Issued Parity Obligations or any Additional Parity Obligations.
THE OWNER HEREOF shall never have the right to demand payment of this Bond out of
any funds raised or to be raised by taxation.
BY BECOMING the Registered Owner of this Bond, the Registered Owner thereby
acknowledges all of the terms and provisions of the Bond Ordinance, agrees to be bound by such
terms and provisions, acknowledges that the Bond Ordinance is duly recorded and available for
inspection in the official minutes and records of the governing body of the Issuer and agrees that the
terms and provisions of this Bond and the Bond Ordinance constitute a contract between each
