mailed by the Trustee to the registered owner at the address shown on the registration books kept
by the Trustee or by such other customary banking arrangements acceptable to the Trustee,
requested by, and at the risk and expense of, the Person to whom interest is to be paid. For the
29
purpose of the payment of interest on this Bond, the registered owner shall be the Person in whose
name this Bond is registered at the close of business on the "Record Date," which shall be the last
business day of the month next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that in
the event of nonpayment of interest on a scheduled Interest Payment Date, and for 30 days
thereafter, a new record date for such interest payment (a "Special Record Date") will be
established by the Trustee, 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 books of the Trustee at the close of

If a date for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds is a Saturday, Sunday,
legal holiday, or a day on which banking institutions in the city in which the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office is located are authorized by law or executive order to close, then the date
for such payment shall be the next succeeding Business Day, and payment on such date shall have
the same force and effect as if made on the original date payment was due.
This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of assessment revenue bonds of the City having
the designation specified in its title (herein referred to as the 'Bonds"), dated as of the Date of
Delivery and issued in the aggregate principal amount of $7,681,000 and issued, with the
limitations described herein, pursuant to an Indenture of Trust, dated as of April 1, 2022 (the
"Indenture"), by and between the City and the Trustee, to which Indenture reference is hereby
made for a description of the amounts thereby pledged and assigned, the nature and extent of the
lien and security, the respective rights thereunder to the holders of the Bonds, the Trustee, and the
City, and the terms upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered and by
this reference to the terms of which each holder of this Bond hereby consents. All Bonds issued
under the Indenture are equally and ratably secured by the amounts thereby pledged and assigned.
The Bonds are being issued for the purpose of paying a portion of (1) the Actual Costs of the PID
Improvements and (2) the Bond Issuance Costs of the Bonds, including funding a reserve fund for
the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds.
The Bonds are special, limited obligations of the City payable solely from the Trust Estate.
Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, copies of which are on file with and available upon
request from the Trustee, for the provisions, among others, with respect to the nature and extent of
the duties and obligations of the City, the Trustee and the Owners. The Owner of this Bond, by the
acceptance hereof, is deemed to have agreed and consented to the terms, conditions and provisions
of the Indenture.
The City has reserved the right to issue Refunding Bonds and other obligations on the terms
and conditions specified in the Indenture.
Notwithstanding any provision hereof, the Indenture may be released and the obligation of
the City to make money available to pay this Bond may be defeased by the deposit of money and/or
certain direct or indirect Defeasance Securities sufficient for such purpose as described in the
Indenture.
30
The Bonds are issuable as fully registered bonds only in denominations of $100,000 and
any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof ("Authorized Denominations"). The City prohibits the
breaking up or allocation of CUSIP numbers to any Bond or Bonds in denominations of less than
$100,000, and any attempt to do so will be void and of no effect, except as may be the result of a
partial redemption of a single Bond as provided in the Indenture.
The Bonds maturing on September 15 in the years 2027, 2032, 2042 and 2047 (collectively,
"Term Bonds"), are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption prior to their respective

At least thirty (30) days prior to each sinking fund redemption date, the Trustee shall select
for redemption by lot, or by any other customary method that results in a random selection, a
principal amount of Term Bonds of such maturity equal to the sinking fund installments of such
Term Bonds to be redeemed, shall call such Term Bonds for redemption on such scheduled
mandatory sinking fund redemption date, and shall give notice of such redemption, as provided in
Section 4.6 of the Indenture.
The principal amount of Bonds required to be redeemed on any sinking fund redemption
date shall be reduced, at the option of the City, by the principal amount of any Bonds of such
maturity which, at least 30 days prior to the sinking fund redemption date shall have been acquired
by the City at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such Bonds plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
The principal amount of Bonds required to be redeemed on any sinking fund redemption
date shall be reduced on a pro rata basis among Sinking Fund Installments by the principal amount
of any Bonds which, at least 30 days prior to the sinking fund redemption date, shall have been
redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption or extraordinary optional redemption provisions
hereof and not previously credited to a mandatory sinking fund redemption.
The Bonds may be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities on any date on or after
September 15, 2030, at the option of the City, with funds derived from any available and lawful
source, as a whole, or in part, and, if in part, the particular Bonds, or portions thereof, to be
redeemed shall be selected and designated by the City, at a redemption price equal to the principal
amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.
The Bonds are subject to extraordinary optional redemption prior to maturity in whole or
in part, on any date, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds called for
redemption, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption from amounts on
deposit in the Redemption Fund as a result of Prepayments or any other transfers to the Redemption
Fund under the terms of the Indenture. If less than all Bonds are called for extraordinary optional
32
redemption, the Bonds or portion of a Bond to be redeemed shall be allocated on a pro rata basis
(as nearly as practicable) among all Outstanding Bonds.
The Trustee shall give notice of any redemption of Bonds by sending notice by first class
United States mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days before the date fixed for redemption, to
the Owner of each Bond (or part thereof) to be redeemed, at the address shown on the Register.
The notice shall state the redemption date, the Redemption Price, the place at which the Bonds are
to be surrendered for payment, and, if less than all the Bonds Outstanding are to be redeemed, an
identification of the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed. Any notice so given shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Owner receives such notice.
With respect to any optional redemption of the Bonds, unless the Trustee has received
funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Bonds to be redeemed before giving of a notice
of redemption, the notice may state the City may condition redemption on the receipt of such funds
by the Trustee on or before the date fixed for the redemption, or on the satisfaction of any other
prerequisites set forth in the notice of redemption. If a conditional notice of redemption is given
and such prerequisites to the redemption and sufficient funds are not received, the notice shall be
of no force and effect, the City shall not redeem the Bonds and the Trustee shall give notice, in the
manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that the Bonds have not been redeemed.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof
and the modification of the rights and obligations of the City and the rights of the holders of the
Bonds under the Indenture at any time Outstanding affected by such modification. The Indenture
also contains provisions permitting the holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all the Bonds, to waive
compliance by the City with certain past defaults under the Bond Ordinance or the Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Bond or any predecessor
Bond evidencing the same debt shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all
future holders thereof and of any Bond issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Bond.
As provided in the Indenture, this Bond is transferable upon surrender of this Bond for
transfer at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office, with such endorsement or other evidence of
transfer as is acceptable to the Trustee, and upon delivery to the Trustee of such certifications
and/or opinion of counsel as may be required under the Indenture for the transfer of this Bond.
Upon satisfaction of such requirements, one or more new fully registered Bonds of the same Stated
Maturity, of Authorized Denominations, bearing the same rate of interest, and for the same
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Neither the City nor the Trustee shall be required to issue, transfer or exchange any Bond
called for redemption where such redemption is scheduled to occur within 45 calendar days of the
transfer or exchange date; provided, however, such limitation shall not be applicable to an
exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled principal balance of a Bond.
The City, the Trustee, and any other Person may treat the Person in whose name this Bond
is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided (except
33
interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Bond is registered on the Record Date or
Special Record Date, as applicable) and for all other purposes, whether or not this Bond be
overdue, and neither the City nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The City has reserved the right to issue Refunding Bonds on the terms and conditions
specified in the Indenture.
NEITHER THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE GENERAL TAXING POWER
OF THE CITY, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, OR THE STATE OF TEXAS, OR ANY POLITICAL
SUBDIVISION THEREOF, IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE BONDS.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that the issuance of this Bond and the series
of which it is a part is duly authorized by law; that all acts, conditions and things required to be
done precedent to and in the issuance of the Bonds have been properly done and performed and
have happened in regular and due time, form and manner, as required by law; and that the total
indebtedness of the City, including the Bonds, does not exceed any Constitutional or statutory
limitation.

Section 5.3. CUSIP Registration.
The City may secure identification numbers through CUSIP Global Services, managed by
S&P Global Market Intelligence on behalf of the American Bankers Association, New York, New
York, and may authorize the printing of such numbers on the face of the Bonds. It is expressly
provided, however, that the presence or absence of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be of no
significance or effect as regards the legality thereof and none of the City, the attorneys approving
said Bonds as to legality or the Trustee are to be held responsible for CUSIP numbers incorrectly
printed on the Bonds. The City prohibits any Bond to be issued in a denomination of less than
$100,000 and further prohibits the assignment of a CUSIP number to any Bond with a
denomination of less than $100,000, and any attempt to accomplish either of the foregoing shall
be void and of no effect, except as provided in Section 4.5 hereof. The Trustee may include in any
redemption notice a statement to the effect that the CUSIP numbers on the Bonds have been
assigned by an independent service and are included in such notice solely for the convenience of
36
the Owners and that neither the City nor the Trustee shall be liable for any inaccuracies in such
numbers.

written request and the Trustee may rely on such payment instructions though given by the City
with no duty to investigate or inquire as to the authenticity of or authorization for the invoice or
the payment instructions contained therein.

Account shall be used solely to pay Actual Costs provided the Trustee shall have no responsibility
for the application of any funds disbursed from the improvement Account in reliance upon a
Certification for Payment approved by the City.
(d) If the City Representative determines in the City Representative's reasonable
discretion that amounts then on deposit in the Improvement Account of the Project Fund are not
expected to be expended for purposes of the Project Fund due to the abandonment, or constructive
abandonment, of one or more of the Projects such that, in the reasonable opinion of the City
Representative, it is unlikely that the amounts in the Improvement Account of the Project Fund
will ever be expended for the purposes of the Project Fund, the City Representative shall file a
City Certificate with the Trustee which identifies the amounts then on deposit in the Improvement
Account of the Project Fund that are not expected to be used for purposes of the Project Fund. If
such City Certificate is so filed, the amounts on deposit in the Improvement Account of the Project
Fund shall be transferred to the Redemption Fund to redeem Bonds Similarly Secured on the
earliest practicable date after notice of redemption has been provided in accordance with this
Indenture. Upon such transfers, the Improvement Account of the Project Fund shall be closed.
(e) In making any determination pursuant to this Section, the City Representative may
conclusively rely upon a certificate of an Independent Financial Consultant.
(f) Upon the filing of a City Certificate stating that all of the Projects have been
completed and that all Actual Costs have been paid, or that any Actual Costs of the Projects are
not required to be paid from the Improvement Account of the Project Fund pursuant to a
Certification for Payment, the Trustee shall transfer the amount, if any, remaining within the
Improvement Account of the Project Fund to the Bond Fund or to the Redemption Fund as directed
by the City Representative in a City Certificate filed with the Trustee. Upon such transfers, the
Improvement Account of the Project Fund shall be closed.
41
(g) Upon the Trustee's receipt of a written determination by the City Representative
that all costs of issuance of the Bonds have been paid, any amounts remaining in the Costs of
Issuance Account shall be transferred to the Improvement Account in the Project Fund and used
to pay Actual Costs of the Projects or to the Principal and Interest Account and used to pay
principal on the Bonds, as directed in a City Certificate filed with the Trustee and the Costs of
Issuance Account shall be closed.
Section 6.6. Redemption Fund.
Subject to adequate amounts on deposit in the Pledged Revenue Fund, the Trustee shall
cause to be deposited to the Redemption Fund from the Pledged Revenue Fund an amount
sufficient to redeem Bonds as provided in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 on the dates specified for
redemption as provided in Sections 4.3 and 4.4. Amounts on deposit in the Redemption Fund shall
be used and withdrawn by the Trustee to redeem Bonds as provided in Article IV.
Section 6.7. Reserve Fund.
(a) The City agrees with the Owners of the Bonds Similarly Secured to accumulate
and, when accumulated, maintain in the Reserve Account, an amount equal to not less than the
Reserve Account Requirement. All amounts deposited in the Reserve Account shall be used and
withdrawn by the Trustee for the purpose of making transfers to the Principal and Interest Account
of the Bond Fund as provided in this Indenture.
(b) Subject to 6.3(a) herein, the Trustee will transfer from the Bond Pledged Revenue
Account of the Pledged Revenue Fund to the Delinquency & Prepayment Reserve Account on

Certificate, an amount equal to the Additional Interest until the Delinquency & Prepayment Reserve
Requirement has been accumulated in the Delinquency & Prepayment Reserve Account. Once the
Delinquency & Prepayment Reserve Requirement has accumulated in the Delinquency &
Prepayment Reserve Account, any amounts in excess of the Delinquency & Prepayment Reserve
Requirement shall be transferred by the Trustee to the Redemption Fund to redeem Bonds Similarly
Secured as provided in Article IV provided, however, that at any time the amount on deposit in the
Delinquency & Prepayment Reserve Account is less than Delinquency & Prepayment Reserve

Secured prior to the redemption, and (ii) the amount actually in the Reserve Account of the Reserve
Fund divided by the principal amount of Outstanding Bonds Similarly Secured prior to the
redemption. If after such transfer, and after applying investment earnings on the Prepayment

accrued and unpaid interest on such Bonds Similarly Secured to the date fixed for redemption of
the Bonds Similarly Secured to be redeemed as a result of such Prepayment, the Trustee shall
transfer an amount equal to the shortfall from the Delinquency & Prepayment Reserve Account to
the Redemption Fund to be applied to the redemption of the Bonds Similarly Secured.
(e) Whenever, on any Interest Payment Date, or on any other date at the request of a
City Representative, the value of cash and Value of Investment Securities on deposit in the Reserve
Account exceeds the Reserve Account Requirement, the Trustee shall provide written notice to the
City Representative of the amount of the excess. Such excess shall be transferred to the Principal
and Interest Account to be used for the payment of interest on the Bonds Similarly Secured on the
next Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 6.4, unless prior to the next Interest
Payment Date, the Trustee receives a City Certificate instructing the Trustee to apply such excess:
(i) to pay amounts due under Section 6.8 hereof, (H) to the Administrative Fund in an amount not
more than the Annual Collection Costs for the Bonds Similarly Secured or (iii) to the Project Fund
to pay Actual Costs of the Projects if such application and the expenditure of funds is expected to
occur within three years of the date hereof.
(e-1) Whenever, on any Interest Payment Date, or on any other date at the written request
of the City Representative, the amount in the Delinquency & Prepayment Reserve Account
exceeds the Delinquency & Prepayment Reserve Requirement, the Trustee shall provide written
notice to the City of the amount of the excess, and the Trustee shall transfer such excess pursuant
to Section 6.7(b) hereof.
(f) Whenever, on any Interest Payment Date, the amount on deposit in the Bond Fund
is insufficient to pay the debt service on the Bonds Similarly Secured due on such date, the Trustee
shall transfer first from the Delinquency & Prepayment Reserve Account of the Reserve Fund, and
second from the Reserve Account of the Reserve Fund to the Bond Fund the amounts necessary
to cure such deficiency.
(g) At the final maturity of the Bonds Similarly Secured, the amount on deposit in the
Reserve Account and the Delinquency & Prepayment Reserve Account shall be transferred to the
Redemption Fund and applied to the payment of the principal of the Bonds Similarly Secured.
(h) If, after a Reserve Account withdrawal, the amount on deposit in the Reserve
Account is less than the Reserve Account Requirement, the Trustee shall transfer from the Pledged
Revenue Fund to the Reserve Account the amount of such deficiency, but only to the extent that
43
such amount is not required for the timely payment of principal, interest, or Sinking Fund
Installments.
(i) If the amount held in the Reserve Fund together with the amount held in the Pledged
Revenue Fund, the Bond Fund and Redemption Fund is sufficient to pay the principal amount and
of all outstanding Bonds Similarly Secured on the next date the Bonds Similarly Secured may be
optionally redeemed by the City at a redemption price of par, together with the unpaid interest
accrued on such Bonds Similarly Secured as of such date, the moneys shall be transferred to the
Redemption Fund and thereafter used to redeem all Bonds Similarly Secured on such date.

(a) The Rebate Fund is to be held by the Trustee in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Indenture. Amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be used solely for the
purpose of paying amounts due the United States Government in accordance with the Code. The
Rebate Fund shall not be part of the Trust Estate and shall not be security for the Bonds Similarly
Secured.

to a third parry, investments of funds on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be made in accordance
with the Code and the Tax Certificate.
(c) The Trustee conclusively shall be deemed to have complied with the provisions of
this Section and shall not be liable or responsible if it follows the instructions of the City and shall
not be required to take any action under this Section in the absence of instructions from the City.
(d) If, on the date of each annual calculation, the amount on deposit in the Rebate Fund
exceeds the amount of the Rebatable Arbitrage, the City may direct the Trustee, pursuant to a City
Certificate, to transfer the amount in excess of the Rebatable Arbitrage to the Bond Fund.

with the provisions of the Construction, Financing and Reimbursement Agreement.

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 or
Account are held by or on behalf of each such Fund or Account. If necessary, such investments
shall be promptly sold, in order to make the disbursements required or permitted by this Indenture,
to prevent any default under this Indenture. To ensure that cash on hand is invested, if the City
does not give the Trustee written or timely instructions with respect to investments of funds, the
Trustee shall invest and re -invest cash balances in the Wilmington U.S. Government Money
Market Fund — Institutional Share Class, CUSIP No. 971810605, or other money market mutual
funds that are rated in either of the two highest categories by a rating agency, including funds for
which the Trustee and/or its affiliates provide investment advisory or other management services,
until directed otherwise by the City Certificate.
(b) Obligations purchased as an investment of moneys in any Fund or Account shall be
deemed to be part of such Fund or Account, subject, however, to the requirements of this Indenture
for transfer of interest earnings and profits resulting from investment of amounts in Funds and
Accounts. Whenever in this Indenture any moneys are required to be transferred by the City to
45
the Trustee, such transfer may be accomplished by transferring a like amount of Investment
Securities as determined and directed in writing by the City.
(c) The Trustee and its affiliates may act as sponsor, advisor, depository, principal or
agent in the acquisition or disposition of any investment. The Trustee may make any and all such
investments through its own investment department or that of its affiliates or subsidiaries, and may
charge its ordinary and customary fees for such trades. The Trustee shall not incur any liability for
losses arising from any investments made pursuant to this Section. The Trustee shall not be
required to determine the legality of any investments and shall have no discretion for investing
funds or advising any parties on investing funds. The Trustee is not providing investment
supervision, recommendation, or advice in acting pursuant to the provisions hereof.
(d) Investments in any and all Funds and Accounts may be commingled in a separate
fund or funds for purposes of making, holding and disposing of investments, notwithstanding
provisions herein for transfer to or holding in or to the credit of particular Funds or Accounts of

account for such investments strictly in accordance with the Funds and Accounts to which they
are credited and otherwise as provided in this Indenture.
(e) The Trustee will furnish to the City, upon the City's written request, periodic cash
transaction statements which include detail for all investment transactions effected by the Trustee
or brokers selected by the City. Upon the City's election, such statements will be delivered via the
Trustee's online service and upon electing such service, paper statements will be provided only
upon request. The City waives the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions
effected by the Trustee as they occur, to the extent permitted by law. The City further understands
that trade confirmations for securities transactions effected by the Trustee will be available upon
request and at no additional cost and other trade confirmations may be obtained from the applicable
broker.
(f) In the event it is found, after an annual calculation has been done pursuant to
Section 6.8 hereof, that the City owes Rebatable Arbitrage to the United States Government, the
City shall direct the Trustee, pursuant to a City Certificate, to transfer to the Rebate Fund the
investment earnings on funds on deposit in the Pledged Funds in an amount equal to the Rebatable
Arbitrage owed by the City. The City Certificate shall specify the amount to the transferred and

that would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as an obligation described in section 103

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 (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 Article 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 us " that is "related" and not
"disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b3 of the Code, to the
governmental use;
(3) to take any action to assure that no amount that 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;
48
(4) to refrain from taking any action that would otherwise result in the Bonds
being treated as a "private activity bond" 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 that were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire
investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) that 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, for a period of 90 days or less until such proceeds
are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds is 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;
(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);
(8) to refrain from using the proceeds of the Bonds or proceeds of any prior
bonds to pay debt service on another issue more than 90 days after the date of issue of the
Bonds in contravention of the requirements of section 149(d) of the Code (relating to
advance refundings); and
(9) 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 has 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) jr, order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (a)(9), the Rebate Fund is
established by the City pursuant to Section 6.1 for the sole benefit of the United States of America,
and such Rebate Fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without
limitation the Registered Owner. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of
compliance with section 148 of the Code.
(c) 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
49
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 (the "Treasury Regulations"). In the event that regulations or rulings
are hereafter promulgated that 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 that impose
additional requirements 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 Mayor or
Mayor Pro-Tem to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to
make such elections, on behalf of the City, that may be permitted by the Code as are consistent
with the purpose for the issuance of the Bonds.
(d) The City covenants to account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment
earnings to be used for Actual Costs of the Projects 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 Projects are 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 Bonds, or (2) the date the Bonds is retired.
The City agrees to obtain the advice of nationally -recognized band 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) The City covenants that the projects funded 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 of nationally -recognized bond counsel that such
sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the 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 a legal opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability
for federal income tax proposes from gross income of the interest.

d. Hold -The -Price Restriction. The Underwriter agrees, on behalf of the
Participating Underwriters, that each Participating Underwriter will neither offer nor sell

applicable Initial Offering Price for such maturity during the period starting on the Sale
Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the close of the fifth business day after the Sale Date,
or (ii) the date on which the Participating Underwriters have sold a Substantial Amount of
such a Maturity to the Public at a price that is no higher than the Initial Offering Price of
such Maturity (the "Hold -the -Price Restriction").
The Underwriter shall promptly advise the City when the Participating
Underwriters have sold a Substantial Amount of each such Hold -The -Price Maturity to the
Public at a price that is no higher than the applicable Initial Offering Price such Hold -The -
Price Maturity, if that occurs prior to the close of the fifth business day after the Sale Date.
The City acknowledges that, in making the representation set forth in this
subparagraph, the Underwriter will rely on (A) the agreement of each Participating

among underwriters and the related pricing wires, (B) in the event a selling group has been
created in connection with the sale of the Bonds to the Public, the agreement of each dealer

set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (C) in the event
that a Participating Underwriter is a party to a third -party distribution agreement that was
employed in connection with the sale of the Bonds, the agreement of each such underwriter,
dealer or broker -dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the Hold -The -Price
Restriction, as set forth in the third -party distribution agreement and the related pricing
wires. The City further acknowledges that each Participating Underwriter will be solely
liable for its failure to comply with its agreement regarding the Hold -the -Price Restriction
and that no Participating Underwriter will be liable for the failure of any other Participating
4
Underwriter to comply with its corresponding agreement regarding the Hold -The -Price
Restriction as applicable to the Bonds.
e. Agreements Among Participating Underwriters. The Underwriter confirms
that (i) any agreement among underwriters, any selling group agreement and each third -
party distribution agreement to which the Underwriter is a party relating to the initial sale
of the Bonds to the Public, together with related pricing wires, contains or will contain
language obligating each Participating Underwriter, each dealer who is a member of any
selling group, and each broker -dealer that is a party to any such retail distribution
agreement, as applicable, to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the Public the unsold
Bonds of each maturity allocated to it until it is notified by the Underwriter that either the
Substantial Amount Test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity or all Bonds if
that maturity have been sold to the Public, (B) comply with the Hold -the -Price Restriction,
if applicable, in each case if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter and as set forth
in the relating pricing wires, and (C) acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the
Participating Underwriter, the Underwriter will assume that based on such agreement each
order submitted by the underwriter, dealer or broker -dealer is a sale to the Public; and (H)
any agreement among underwriters relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public,
together with related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each
Participating Underwriter that is a party to a third -party distribution agreement to be
employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public to require each
underwriter or broker -dealer that is a party to such third -party distribution agreement to
(A) report the prices at which it sells to the Public the unsold Bonds of each maturity
allotted to it until it is notified by the Underwriter or the applicable Participating
Underwriter that either the Substantial Amount Test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of
that maturity or all Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the Public and (B) comply
with the Hold -the -Price Restriction, if applicable, in each case if and for so long as directed
by the Underwriter or the applicable Participating Underwriter and as set forth in the
relating pricing wires, and
f. Sale to Related Party not a Sale to the Public. The Participating
Underwriters acknowledge that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a Related Party to
a Participating Underwriter do not constitute sales to the Public for purposes ofthis Section.
If a Related Party to a Participating Underwriter purchases during the initial offering period
all of a Hold -The -Price Maturity, the related Participating Underwriter will notify the
Underwriter and will take steps to confirm in writing that such Related Party will either 0)
hold such Bonds for its own account, without present intention to sell, reoffer, or otherwise
dispose of such Bonds for at least five business days from the Sale Date, or (ii) comply
with the Hold -The -Price Restriction. The Underwriter will notify the Issuer if any of the
Hold -the -Price Maturities are allotted to a Participating Underwriter or sold or allotted to
a Related Party of the Underwriter.

Any notice under the preceding paragraphs shall be accompanied with the text of the

Dissemination Agent to disseminate such information as provided herein, and the date the Issuer
desires for the Dissemination Agent to disseminate the information (which date shall not be more
than ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of the Listed Event or failure to file).
In all cases, the Issuer shall have the sole responsibility for the content, design and other
elements comprising substantive contents of all disclosures made pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 of

after obtaining actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Listed Event with respect to the Bonds,
notify the Disclosure Representative in writing of such Listed Event. The Dissemination Agent
shall not be required to file a notice of the occurrence of such Listed Event with the MSRB unless
and until it receives written instructions from the Disclosure Representative to do so. If the
Dissemination Agent has been instructed by the Disclosure Representative on behalf of the Issuer
to report the occurrence of a Listed Event under this subsection (b), the Dissemination Agent shall
file a notice of such occurrence with the MSRB no later than the Business Day immediately
following the day on which it receives written instructions from the Issuer. It is agreed and
understood that the duty to make or cause to be made the disclosures herein is that of the Issuer
and not that of the Trustee or the Dissemination Agent. It is agreed and understood that the
Dissemination Agent has agreed to give the foregoing notice to the Issuer as an accommodation to
assist it in monitoring the occurrence of such event but is under no obligation to investigate whether
any such event has occurred. As used above, "actual knowledge" means the actual fact or
statement of knowing, without a duty to make any investigation with respect thereto. In no event
shall the Dissemination Agent be liable in damages or in tort to the Issuer, the Participating
Underwriter, the Trustee, or any Owner or beneficial owner of any interests in the Bonds as a result
of its failure to give the foregoing notice or to give such notice in a timely fashion.

shall promptly, but in no case more than five (5) Business Days after occurrence of the event,

longer an obligated person with respect to the Bonds, or upon delivery by the Disclosure
Representative to the Dissemination Agent of an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel to
the effect that continuing disclosure is no longer required. So long as any of the Bonds remain
Outstanding, the Dissemination Agent may assume that the Issuer is an obligated person with
respect to the Bonds until it receives written notice from the Disclosure Representative stating that
the Issuer is no longer an obligated person with respect to the Bonds, and the Dissemination Agent
may conclusively rely upon such written notice with no duty to make investigation or inquiry into
any statements contained or matters referred to in such written notice. If such termination occurs
prior to the final maturity of the Bonds, the Issuer shall give notice of such termination in the same
manner as for a Listed Event with respect to the Bonds under Section 5(a).

a Dissemination Agent or successor Dissemination Agent to assist it in carrying out its obligations
under this Disclosure Agreement, and may discharge such Dissemination Agent, with or without
appointing a successor Dissemination Agent. If at any time there is not any other designated
Dissemination Agent, the Issuer shall be the Dissemination Agent. The initial Dissemination
Agent appointed hereunder shall be Wilmington Trust, National Association, Dallas, Texas. The
Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Developer, or any other party responsible for

waived, provided that the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) If the amendment or waiver relates to the provisions of Sections 3(a), 4, or 5(a), it
may only be made in connection with a change in circumstances that arises from a change in legal
requirements, change in law, or change in the identity, nature or status of an obligated person with
respect to the Bonds, or the type of business conducted;
(b) The undertaking, as amended or taking into account such waiver, would, in the
opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, have complied with the requirements of the Rule
at the time of the delivery of the Bonds, after taking into account any amendments or
interpretations of the Rule, as well as any change in circumstances; and
(c) The amendment or waiver either (i) is approved by the Owners of the Bonds in the
same manner as provided in the Indenture for amendments to the Indenture with the consent of
Owners, or (ii) does not, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, materially impair
the interests of the Owners or beneficial owners of the Bonds.
In the event of any amendment or waiver of a provision of this Disclosure Agreement, the
Issuer shall describe such amendment in the next related Annual Issuer Report, and shall include,
as applicable, a narrative explanation of the reason for the amendment or waiver and its impact on
the type (or in the case of a change of accounting principles, on the presentation) of financial
information or operating data being presented by the Issuer. In addition, if the amendment relates
to the accounting principles to be followed in preparing financial statements, (i) notice of such
change shall be given in the same manner as for a Listed Event under Section 5(a), and (ii) the
Annual Issuer Report for the year in which the change is made should present a comparison (in
narrative form and also, if feasible, in quantitative form) between the financial statements as
prepared on the basis of the new accounting principles and those prepared on the basis of the
former accounting principles. No amendment which adversely affects the Dissemination Agent
may be made without its prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed).
SECTION 9. Additional Information. Nothing in this Disclosure Agreement shall be
deemed to prevent the Issuer from disseminating any other information, using the means of
dissemination set forth in this Disclosure Agreement or any other means of communication, or
including any other information in any Annual Issuer Report or notice of occurrence of a Listed
Event, in addition to that which is required by this Disclosure Agreement. If the Issuer chooses to
include any information in any Annual Issuer Report or notice of occurrence of a Listed Event in
addition to that which is specifically required by this Disclosure Agreement, the Issuer shall have
no obligation under this Disclosure Agreement to update such information or include it in any
future Annual Issuer Report or notice of occurrence of a Listed Event.

of this Disclosure Agreement, the Dissemination Agent may (and, at the request of any
Participating Underwriter or the Owners of at least twenty-five percent (25%) aggregate principal

beneficial owner of the Bonds may, take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate to cause
the Issuer, as the case may be, to comply with its obligations under this Disclosure Agreement. A
default under this Disclosure Agreement shall not be deemed an Event of Default under the
Indenture with respect to the Bonds, and the sole remedy under this Disclosure Agreement in the
event of any failure of the Issuer to comply with this Disclosure Agreement shall be an action for
mandamus or specific performance. A default under this Disclosure Agreement by the Issuer shall

Developer. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section shall survive resignation or removal

powers and duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) of defending against any claim of liability, but excluding liabilities due to the Administrator's
negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to
require the Issuer to indemnify the Administrator for losses, expenses or liabilities arising from
information provided to the Administrator by third parties, or the failure of any third party- to
provide information to the Administrator as and when required under this Disclosure Agreement,

Assessments and the anticipated procedures for pursuing the collection of delinquent Assessments
is set forth in Exhibit C which is intended to illustrate the general procedures expected to be

shall such illegality or invalidity of any application thereof affect any legal and valid application
11
thereof, and each such section, provision, covenant, stipulation, obligation, agreement, act or
action, or part thereof shall be deemed to be effective, operative, made, entered into or taken in the
