or exchanging Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.

Rate per annum specified above. Interest is payable on February 15, 2014 and semiannually on

Section 6. INTEREST AND SINKING FUND. A special "Interest and
Sinking Fund" is hereby created and 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 Certificates. All ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of the
Certificates shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund. During
each year while any of the Certificates are outstanding and unpaid, the City Council shall compute
and ascertain a rate and amount of ad valorem tax which will be sufficient, within the limit
prescribed by law, to raise and produce the money required to pay the interest on the Certificates as
such interest comes due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal
of the Certificates as such principal matures (but never less than 2% of the original amount of the

Revenues." The City shall deposit such Surplus Revenues to the credit of the Interest and Sinking

Certificates. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 6, if Surplus Revenues or other
lawfully available funds are actually on deposit or budgeted for deposit in the Interest and Sinking
Fund in advance of the time when ad valorem taxes are scheduled to be levied for any year, then

interest thereon shall be deemed to be paid, retired and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased
Certificate") 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 Certificate, 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 (ii) shall have been provided

the City with the Paying Agent/Registrar or a commercial bank or trust company for the payment
of its services until all Defeased Certificates shall have become due and payable or (3) any
combination of (1) and (2). At such time as a Certificate shall be deemed to be a Defeased
Certificate hereunder, as aforesaid, such Certificate 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.

Certificate as aforesaid when proper notice of redemption of such Certificates shall have been
given, in accordance with this Ordinance. Any money so deposited with the Paying

discretion of the City Council also be invested in Defeasance Securities, maturing in the amounts

Section which is not required for the payment of such Certificate and premium, if any, and interest
thereon with respect to which such money has been so deposited, shall be turned over to the City
Council.

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 Certificates
and premium, if any, and interest thereon, shall be applied to and used solely for the payment of the
particular Certificates 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 Certificates shall have
become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying
Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Certificates 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.
GTOWN/CO/2013: Ordinance 16
(d) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Ordinance, if money or Defeasance
Securities have been deposited or set aside with the Paying Agent/Registrar or a commercial bank
or trust company pursuant to this Section for the payment of Certificates and such Certificates shall
not have in fact been actually paid in full, no amendment of the provisions of this Section shall be
made without the consent of the registered owner of each Certificate affected thereby.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) immediately above, to the extent
that, upon the defeasance of any Defeased Certificate to be paid at its maturity, the City retains the
right under Texas law to later call that Defeased Certificate for redemption in accordance with the
provisions of the Ordinance authorizing its issuance, the City may call such Defeased Certificate
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 Certificate as

Certificate and the effect of the redemption is taken into account in determining the sufficiency of
the provisions made for the payment of the Defeased Certificate.

noncallable obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including
obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and

less than "AAA" or its equivalent, (iii) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a City,
municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that, on the date
the City Council adopts or approves proceedings authorizing the issuance of refunding certificates
or otherwise provide for the funding of an escrow to effect the defeasance of the Certificates, are
rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm no less than
"AAA" or its equivalent and (iv) any other then authorized securities or obligations under
applicable State law that may be used to defease obligations such as the Certificates. "Federal
Securities" as used herein means direct, noncallable obligations of the United States of America,
including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America
(including Interest Strips of the Resolution Funding Corporation).

replacement certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the Registered Owner of such
Certificate with all legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every

by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and proportionately
with any and all other Certificates duly issued under this Ordinance.

Section 11. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST
ON THE CERTIFICATES. (a) Covenants. The City covenants to take any action necessary

GfOWN/co/2013: ofaum« 18

"Code"), the interest on which 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 Certificates 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) of the
Code or, if more than 10 percent of the 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 Certificates, 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 Certificates 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 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 Certificates (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
Certificates 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 Certificates 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 Certificates, 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 Certificates, other than investment property
acquired with --
(A) proceeds of the Certificates 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 Certificates 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
Gl'OWN/co/2013: oramance 19
(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 Certificates;
(7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Certificates or amounts
treated as proceeds of the Certificates, as may be necessary, so that the Certificates 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 Certificates) 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 Certificates 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 Certificateholders. 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 not expended prior to the date of issuance of
the Certificates. 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
Certificates, 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 Certificates 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 Certificates, 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
Certificates under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the City hereby
authorizes and directs the City Manager or Chief Financial Officer of the City 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 Certificates. This Ordinance is intended to satisfy the official intent requirements set forth in
Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations.
(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 Code. The City recognizes that in order for the proceeds
GrOWN/CO/20I3: Ordinance 20
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 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
Certificates, or (2) the date the Certificates 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 Certificates.
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 of nationally -recognized bond
counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the
Certificates. For purposes of this subsection, the portion of the property comprising personal
property and disposed of 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.
Section 12. SALE OF CERTIFICATES. The Certificates are hereby sold to the
bidder whose bid produced the lowest true interest cost, pursuant to the taking of public bids
therefor, on this date, and shall be delivered to Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (the initial
"Purchaser") at a price of $4,066,621.40 (representing the par amount of the Certificates of

and declared that the terms of this sale are the most advantageous reasonably obtainable. The
Certificates shall initially be registered in the name of Raymond James & Associates, Inc.
Section 13. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. (a) Events of Default. Each of the
following occurrences or events for the purpose of this Ordinance is hereby declared to be an
Event of Default:
(i) the failure to make payment of the principal of or interest on any of the
Certificates when the same becomes due and payable; or
(ii) default in the performance or observance of any other covenant, agreement
or obligation of the City, the failure to perform which materially, adversely affects the
rights of the Registered Owners of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, their prospect
or ability to be repaid in accordance with this Ordinance, and the continuation thereof for a
period of 60 days after notice of such default is given by any Registered Owner to the City.
GI'OWN/co/2013: ordumce 21
(b) Remedies for Default.

Registered Owner or an authorized representative thereof, including, but not limited to, a
trustee or trustees therefor, may proceed against the City, or any official, officer or
employee of the City in their official capacity, for the purpose of protecting and enforcing
the rights of the Registered Owners under this Ordinance, by mandamus or other suit,
action or special proceeding in equity or at law, in any court of competent jurisdiction, for
any relief permitted by law, including the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement contained herein, or thereby to enjoin any act or thing that may be unlawful or in
violation of any right of the Registered Owners hereunder or any combination of such
remedies.
(ii) It is provided that all such proceedings shall be instituted and maintained
for the equal benefit of all Registered Owners of Certificates then outstanding.
(c) Remedies Not Exclusive.
(i) No remedy herein conferred or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any
other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative
and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Bonds or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other
provision of this Ordinance, the right to accelerate the debt evidenced by the Bonds shall
not be available as a remedy under this Ordinance.
(ii) The exercise of any remedy herein conferred or reserved shall not be
deemed a waiver of any other available remedy.
(iii) By accepting the delivery of a Bond authorized under this Ordinance, such
Registered Owner agrees that the certifications required to effectuate any covenants or
representations contained in this Ordinance do not and shall never constitute or give rise to
a personal or pecuniary liability or charge against the officers, employees or trustees of the
City or the City Council.
(iv) None of the members of the City Council, nor any other official or officer,
agent, or employee of the City, shall be charged personally by the Registered Owners with
any liability, or be held personally liable to the Registered Owners under any term or
provision of this Ordinance, or because of any Event of Default or alleged Event of Default
under this Ordinance.
Section 14. INTEREST EARNINGS ON CERTIFICATE PROCEEDS. Interest
earnings derived from the investment of proceeds from the sale of the Certificates shall be used
along with other certificate proceeds for the purpose for which the Certificates are issued set forth
in Section 1 hereof, 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 certificate proceeds which are required to
be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to Section 11 hereof in order to prevent the
GMWN/co/2013: OTd=« 22
Certificates from being arbitrage certificates shall be so rebated and not considered as interest
earnings for the purposes of this Section.

(c) Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments. The City shall be obligated to
observe and perform the covenants specified in this Section for so long as, but only for so long as,
the City remains an "obligated person" with respect to the Certificates within the meaning of the
Rule, except that the City in any event will give notice of any deposit made in accordance with
Section 8 of this Ordinance that causes the Certificates no longer to be outstanding.
The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the holders and beneficial owners
of the Certificates, 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
provide only the financial information, operating data, financial statements, and notices which it
has expressly agreed to provide pursuant to this Section and does not hereby undertake to provide
any other information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of the City's
financial results, condition, or prospects or hereby undertake to update any information provided

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 this Ordinance for purposes of any other provision of this

the Certificates in accordance with the Rule as amended.
Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise limit the
duties of the City under federal and state securities laws.
The provisions of this Section may be amended by the City from time to time to adapt to
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 City, but only if (1) the provisions of this
Section, as so amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Certificates in the
GMWN/CO/2013: Ordinance 25
primary offering of the Certificates in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any
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 required by any other provision of this Ordinance that authorizes such an
amendment) of the outstanding Certificates consents to such amendment or (b) a person that is
unaffiliated with the City (such as nationally recognized bond counsel) determines that such
amendment will not materially impair the interest of the holders and beneficial owners of the
Certificates. If the City so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include with any
amended financial information or operating data next provided in accordance with paragraph (a) of
this Section an explanation, in narrative form, of the reason for the amendment and of the impact
of any change in the type of financial information or operating data so provided. 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 Certificates in the
primary offering of the Certificates.

all such acts and things and to execute, acknowledge and deliver in the name and under the
corporate seal and on behalf of the City all such instruments, whether or not herein mentioned, as
may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Ordinance, the
Certificates, the initial sale and delivery of the Certificates, the Paying Agent/Registrar
Agreement, any insurance commitment letter or agreement or insurance policy and the Official
Statement. In addition, prior to the initial delivery of the Certificates, the Mayor, the City
Manager or the Chief Financial Officer of the City, the City Attorney and Bond Counsel are
hereby authorized and directed to approve any technical changes or corrections to this Ordinance
or to any of the instruments authorized and approved by this Ordinance necessary in order to (i)

and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such
delivery.
Section 19. INTERPRETATIONS. All terms defined herein and all pronouns used
in this Ordinance shall be deemed to apply equally to singular and plural and to all genders. The
titles and headings of the articles and sections of this Ordinance and the Table of Contents of this
Ordinance have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered a part
hereof and shall not in any way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. This
Ordinance and all the terms and provisions hereof shall be liberally construed to effectuate the
purposes set forth herein and to sustain the validity of the Certificates and the validity of the lien on
and pledge of the Pledged Revenues to secure the payment of the Certificates.
Section 20. INCONSISTENT PROVISIONS. All ordinances, orders or resolutions,
or parts thereof, which are in conflict or inconsistent with any provision of this Ordinance are
hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict and the provisions of this Ordinance shall be and
remain controlling as to the matters contained herein.
Section 21. INTERESTED PARTIES. Nothing in this Ordinance expressed or
implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or to give to, any person or entity, other
than the City and the registered owners of the Certificates, any right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Ordinance or any covenant, condition or stipulation hereof, and all covenants,
stipulations, promises and agreements in this Ordinance contained by and on behalf of the City
shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the City and the registered owners of the Certificates.

statements set forth in the recitals of this Ordinance are true and correct, and the City hereby
incorporates such recitals as a part of this Ordinance.

Section 24. REPEALER. All orders, resolutions and ordinances, or parts thereof,
inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency.
Section 25. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall become effect immediately
from and after its passage on first and final reading in accordance with Section 1201.028, Texas

Section 26. PERFECTION. Chapter 1208, Government Code, applies to the
issuance of the Certificates and the pledge of ad valorem taxes and surplus net revenues granted by
the City under Sections 6 and 7 of this Ordinance, and such pledge is therefore valid, effective and
perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the Certificates are outstanding and unpaid
such that the pledge of ad valorem taxes and surplus net revenues granted by the City under
Sections 6 and 7 of this Ordinance is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Business
& Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the registered owners of the Certificates the
perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the City agrees to take such measures as it
GTOWN/co/2013: ordinance 27
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 27. PAYMENT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL FEE. The City hereby
authorizes the disbursement of a fee equal to the lesser of (i) one-tenth of one percent of the
principal amount of the Certificates or (ii) $9,500, provided that such fee shall not be less than
$750, to the Attorney General of Texas Public Finance Division for payment of the examination
fee charged by the State of Texas for the Attorney General's review and approval of public
securities and credit agreements, as required by Section 1202.004 of the Texas Government Code.
The appropriate member of the City's staff is hereby instructed to take the necessary measures to
make this payment. The City is also authorized to reimburse the appropriate City funds for such
payment from proceeds of the Certificates.
