to the registered owner hereof through the services of First City, Texas - Dallas, Dallas,
Texas, which is the "Paying Agent/Registrar" for this Bond. Payment of all principal of
and interest on this Bond shall be made by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the registered
owner hereof on each principal and/or interest payment date by check or draft, dated as
of such date, drawn by the Paying Agent/Registrar on, and payable solely from, funds of

est and Sinking Fund" created by the Bond Ordinance, the amounts required to provide
for the payment, in immediately available funds, of all principal of and interest on this
Bond, when due.
IF THE DATE for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond shall
be a Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday, or a day on which banking institutions in the city
where the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized by law or executive order to
close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not such
a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which banking institutions are authorized to
close; and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the
original date payment was due.
THIS BOND has been authorized in accordance with the Constitution and laws of
the State of Texas in the principal amount of $7,965,000 for the purpose of providing
funds to refund a portion of the City of Coppell, Texas Waterworks and Sewer System
Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 1985, being bonds maturing
September 1, 1997 through September 1, 2006.
ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2000, or on any date thereafter, the unpaid installments of
principal of this Bond may be prepaid or redeemed prior to their scheduled due dates,
at the option of the Issuer, with funds derived from any available source, as a whole, or
in part, and, if in part, the Issuer shall select and designate the maturity, or maturities,
and the amount that is to be redeemed, and if less than a whole maturity is to be called,
the Issuer shall direct the Paying Agent/Registrar to call by lot (provided that a portion
of this Bond may be redeemed only in an integral multiple of $5,000), at the redemption
price of the principal amount, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for prepayment or
redemption.
AT LEAST 30 days prior to the date fixed for any such prepayment or redemp-
tion a written notice of such prepayment or redemption shall be mailed by the Paying
Agent/Registrar to the registered owner hereof. By the date fixed for any such
prepayment or redemption due provision shall be made by the Issuer with the Paying
Agent/Registrar for the payment of the required prepayment or redemption price for this
Bond or the portion hereof which is to be so prepaid or redeemed, plus accrued interest
thereon to the date fixed for prepayment or redemption. If such written notice of
prepayment or redemption is given, and if due provision for such payment is made, all as
provided above, this Bond, or the portion thereof which is to be so prepaid or redeemed,
thereby automatically shall be treated as prepaid or redeemed prior to its scheduled due
date, and shall not bear interest after the date fixed for its prepayment or redemption,
and shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the registered
owner to receive the prepayment or redemption price plus accrued interest to the date
5
fixed for prepayment or redemption from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds
provided for such payment. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall record in the Registration
Books all such prepayments or redemptions of principal of this Bond or any portion
hereof.
THIS BOND, to the extent of the unpaid or unredeemed principal balance hereof,
or any unpaid and unredeemed portion hereof in any integral multiple of $5,000, may be
assigned by the initial registered owner hereof and shall be transferred only in the
Registration Books of the Issuer kept by the Paying Agent/Registrar acting in the capacity
of registrar for the Bonds, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Bond Ordinance.
Among other requirements for such transfer, this Bond must be presented and
surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation, together with proper instru-
ments of assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, evidencing assignment by the initial registered owner 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
transferred and registered. Any instrument or instruments of assignment satisfactory to
the Paying Agent/Registrar may be used to evidence the assignment of this Bond or any
such portion or portions hereof by the initial registered owner hereof. A new bond or
bonds payable to such assignee or assignees (which then will be the new registered owner
or owners of such new Bond or Bonds) or to the initial registered owner as to any portion
of this Bond which is not being assigned and transferred by the initial registered owner,
shall be delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar in conversion of and exchange for this
Bond or any portion or portions hereof, but solely in the form and manner as provided
in the next paragraph hereof for the conversion and exchange of this Bond or any portion
hereof. The registered owner of this Bond shall be deemed and treated by the Issuer and
the Paying Agent/Registrar as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, including
payment and discharge of liability upon this Bond to the extent of such payment, and the
Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
AS PROVIDED above and in the Bond Ordinance, this Bond, to the extent of the
unpaid or unredeemed principal balance hereof, may be converted into and exchanged for
a like aggregate principal amount of fully registered bonds, without interest coupons,
payable to the assignee or assignees duly designated in writing by the initial registered
owner hereof, or to the initial registered owner as to any portion of this Bond which is
not being assigned and transferred by the initial registered owner, in any denomination or
denominations in any integral multiple of $5,000 (subject to the requirement hereinafter
stated that each substitute bond issued in exchange for any portion of this Bond shall have
a single stated principal maturity date), 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. If this Bond or any portion hereof is assigned and transferred or
converted each bond issued in exchange for any portion hereof shall have a single stated
principal maturity date corresponding to the due date of the installment of principal of
this Bond or portion hereof for which the substitute bond is being exchanged, and shall
6
bear interest at the rate applicable to and borne by such installment of principal or
portion thereof. Such bonds, respectively, shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity
on the same dates and for the same prices as the corresponding installment of principal
of this Bond or portion hereof for which they are being exchanged. No such bond shall
be payable in installments, but shall have only one stated principal maturity date. AS
PROVIDED IN THE BOND ORDINANCE, THIS BOND IN ITS PRESENT FORM
MAY BE ASSIGNED AND TRANSFERRED OR CONVERTED ONCE ONLY, and
to one or more assignees, but the bonds issued and delivered in exchange for this Bond
or any portion hereof may be assigned and transferred, and converted, subsequently, as
provided in the Bond Ordinance. The Issuer shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's
standard or customary fees and charges for transferring, converting, and exchanging this
Bond or any portion thereof, but the one requesting such transfer, conversion, and
exchange shall pay any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect
thereto. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to make any such assignment,
conversion, or exchange (i) during the period commencing with the close of business 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 portion thereof called for
prepayment or redemption prior to maturity, within 45 days prior to its prepayment or
redemption date.
IN THE EVENT any Paying Agent/Registrar for this Bond 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 promptly will cause written notice thereof to be mailed to the registered
owner of this Bond.
IT IS HEREBY certified, recited, and covenanted that this Bond has been duly and
validly authorized, issued, and delivered pursuant to the laws of the State of Texas; 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 and the Series
of which it is a part have been performed, existed, and been done in accordance with law;
that this Bond is a special obligation of said Issuer, and that the principal of and interest
on this Bond, together with other outstanding Waterworks and Sewer System Revenue
Bonds of the Issuer, are payable and secured by a first lien on and pledge of the Net
Revenues of the Issuer's Waterworks and Sewer System.
THE ISSUER has reserved the right, subject to the restrictions stated, and adopted
by reference, in the Ordinance authorizing this Series of Bonds, to issue additional parity
revenue bonds which also may be made payable from, and secured by a first lien on and
pledge of, the aforesaid Net Revenues.
THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF shall never have the right to demand
payment of this Bond or the interest hereon out of any funds raised or to be raised by
taxation, or from any sources whatsoever other than those described in the Bond
Ordinance.
BY BECOMING the registered owner of this Bond, the registered owner thereby

Section 6. ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BONDS.
(a) Registration and Transfer. The Issuer shall keep or cause to be kept at the principal
corporate trust office of First City, Texas - Dallas, Dallas, Texas, (the "Paying Agent/Regis-
trar") books or records of the registration and transfer of the Bonds (the "Registration
Books"), and the Issuer hereby appoints the Paying Agent/Registrar as its registrar and
transfer agent to keep such books or records and make such transfers and registrations
under such reasonable regulations as the Issuer and Paying Agent/Registrar may pre-
scribe; and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall make such transfers and registrations as
herein provided. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall obtain and record in the Registration
Books the address of the registered owner of each Bond to which payments with respect
to the Bonds shall be mailed, as herein provided; but it shall be the duty of each
registered owner to notify the Paying Agent/Registrar in writing of the address to which
payments shall be mailed, and such interest payments shall not be mailed unless such
notice has been given. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect the Registration Books
during regular business hours of the Paying Agent/Registrar, but otherwise the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall keep the Registration Books confidential and, unless otherwise
required by law, shall not permit their inspection by any other entity. Registration of each
Bond may be transferred in the Registration Books only upon presentation and surren-
der of such Bond to the Paying Agent/Registrar for transfer of registration and cancella-
tion, together with proper written instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee
of signatures satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, (i) evidencing the assignment of
the Bond, or any portion thereof in any integral multiple of $5,000, to the assignee or
assignees thereof, and (ii) the right of such assignee or assignees to have the Bond or any
such portion thereof registered in the name of such assignee or assignees. Upon the
assignment and transfer of any Bond or any portion thereof, a new substitute Bond or
Bonds shall be issued in conversion and exchange therefor in the manner herein provided.
The Initial Bond, to the extent of the unpaid or unredeemed principal balance thereof,
may be assigned and transferred by the initial registered owner thereof once only, and to
one or more assignees designated in writing by the initial registered owner thereof. All
Bonds issued and delivered in conversion of and exchange for the Initial Bond shall be in
any denomination or denominations of any integral multiple of $5,000 (subject to the
requirement hereinafter stated that each substitute Bond shall have a single stated princi-
pal maturity date), shall be in the form prescribed in the FORM OF SUBSTITUTE
BOND set forth in this Ordinance, and shall have the characteristics, and may be assigned,
transferred, and converted as hereinafter provided. If the Initial Bond or any portion
thereof is assigned and transferred or converted the Initial Bond must be surrendered to
the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation, and each Bond issued in exchange for any
portion of the Initial Bond shall have a single stated principal maturity date, and shall not
be payable in installments; and each such Bond shall have a principal maturity date
corresponding to the due date of the installment of principal or portion thereof for which
the substitute Bond is being exchanged; and each such Bond shall bear interest at the
single rate applicable to and borne by such installment of principal or portion thereof for
which it is being exchanged. If only a portion of the Initial Bond is assigned and trans-
ferred, there shall be delivered to and registered in the name of the initial registered
9
owner substitute Bonds in exchange for the unassigned balance of the Initial Bond in the
same manner as if the initial registered owner were the assignee thereof. If any Bond or
portion thereof other than the Initial Bond is assigned and transferred or converted each
Bond issued in exchange shall have the same principal maturity date and bear interest
at the same rate as the Bond for which it is exchanged. A form of assignment shall be
printed or endorsed on each Bond, excepting the Initial Bond, which shall be executed by
the registered owner or its duly authorized attorney or representative to evidence an
assignment thereof. Upon surrender of any Bonds or any portion or portions thereof for
transfer of registration, an authorized representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar shall
make such transfer in the Registration Books, and shall deliver a new fully registered
substitute Bond or Bonds, having the characteristics herein described, payable to such
assignee or assignees (which then will be the registered owner or owners of such new
Bond or Bonds), or to the previous registered owner in case only a portion of a Bond is
being assigned and transferred, all in conversion of and exchange for said assigned Bond
or Bonds or any portion or portions thereof, in the same form and manner, and with the
same effect, as provided in Section 6(d), below, for the conversion and exchange of Bonds
by any registered owner of a Bond. The Issuer shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's
standard or customary fees and charges for making such transfer and delivery of a
substitute Bond or Bonds, but the one requesting such transfer shall pay any taxes or
other governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall not be required to make transfers of registration of any Bond or any
portion thereof (i) during the period commencing with the close of business 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 30 days prior to its redemption date.
(b) Ownership of Bonds. The entity in whose name any Bond shall be registered
in the Registration Books at any time shall be deemed and treated as the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes of this Ordinance, whether or not such Bond shall be overdue,
and the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary; and payment of, or on account of, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on any such Bond shall be made only to such registered owner. All such payments shall
be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent
of the sum or sums so paid.
(c) Payment of Bonds and Interest. The Issuer hereby further appoints the Paying
Agent/Registrar to act as the paying agent for paying the principal of and interest on the
Bonds, and to act as its agent to convert and exchange or replace Bonds, all as provided
in this Ordinance. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall keep proper records of all payments
made by the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar with respect to the Bonds, and of all
conversions and exchanges of Bonds, and all replacements of Bonds, as provided in this
Ordinance. However, in the event of a nonpayment of interest on a scheduled payment
date, and for thirty (30) days thereafter, a new record date for such interest payment (a
"Special Record Date") will be established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when
10
funds for the payment of such interest have been received from the Issuer. Notice of the
Special Record Date and of the scheduled payment date of the past due interest (which
shall be 15 days after the Special Record Date) shall be sent at least five (5) business days
prior to the Special Record Date by United States mail, first class postage prepaid, to the
address of each Bondholder appearing on the Security Register at the close of business
on the last business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice.
(d) Conversion and Exchange or Replacement: Authentication. Each Bond issued
and delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, to the extent of the unpaid or unredeemed
principal balance or principal amount thereof, may, upon surrender of such Bond at the
principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, together with a written
request therefor duly executed by the registered owner or the assignee or assignees
thereof, or its or their duly authorized attorneys or representatives, with guarantee of
signatures satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, may, at the option of the registered
owner or such assignee or assignees, as appropriate, be converted into and exchanged for
fully registered bonds, without interest coupons, in the form prescribed in the FORM OF
SUBSTITUTE BOND set forth in this Ordinance, in the denomination of $5,000, or any
integral multiple of $5,000 (subject to the requirement hereinafter stated that each
substitute Bond shall have a single stated maturity date), as requested in writing by such
registered owner or such assignee or assignees, in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the unpaid or unredeemed principal balance or principal amount of any Bond or Bonds
so surrendered, and payable to the appropriate registered owner, assignee, or assignees,
as the case may be. If the Initial Bond is assigned and transferred or converted each
substitute Bond issued in exchange for any portion of the Initial Bond shall have a single
stated principal maturity date, and shall not be payable in installments; and each such
Bond shall have a principal maturity date corresponding to the due date of the installment
of principal or portion thereof for which the substitute Bond is being exchanged; and each
such Bond shall bear interest at the single rate applicable to and borne by such install-
ment of principal or portion thereof for which it is being exchanged. If a portion of any
Bond (other than the Initial Bond) shall be redeemed prior to its scheduled maturity as
provided herein, a substitute Bond or Bonds having the same maturity date, bearing
interest at the same rate, in the denomination or denominations of any integral multiple
of $5,000 at the request of the registered owner, and in aggregate principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion thereof, will be issued to the registered owner x pon surrender
thereof for cancellation. If any Bond or portion thereof (other than the Initial Bond) is
assigned and transferred or converted, each Bond issued in exchange therefor shall have
the same principal maturity date and bear interest at the same rate as the Bond for which
it is being exchanged. Each substitute Bond shall bear a letter and/or number to distin-
guish it from each other Bond. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall convert and exchange
or replace Bonds as provided herein, and each fully registered bond delivered in conver-
sion of and exchange for or replacement of any Bond or portion thereof as permitted or
required by any provision of this Ordinance shall constitute one of the Bonds for all
purposes of this Ordinance, and may again be converted and exchanged or replaced. It
is specifically provided that any Bond authenticated in conversion of and exchange for or
11
replacement of another Bond on or prior to the first scheduled Record Date for the
Initial Bond shall bear interest from the date of the Initial Bond, but each substitute Bond
so authenticated after such first scheduled Record Date shall bear interest from the
interest payment date next preceding the date on which such substitute Bond was so
authenticated, unless such Bond is authenticated after any Record Date but on or before
the next following interest payment date, in which case it shall bear interest from such
next following interest payment date; provided, however, that if at the time of delivery of
any substitute Bond the interest on the Bond for which it is being exchanged is due but
has not been paid, then such Bond shall bear interest from the date to which such interest
has been paid in full. THE INITIAL BOND issued and delivered pursuant to this
Ordinance is not required to be, and shall not be, authenticated by the Paying Agent/
Registrar, but on each substitute Bond issued in conversion of and exchange for or
replacement of any Bond or Bonds issued under this Ordinance there shall be printed a
certificate, in the form substantially as follows:
"PAYING AGENT/REGISTRAR'S AUTHENTICATION CERTIFICATE
It is hereby certified that this Bond has been issued under the provisions of the
Bond Ordinance described on the face of this Bond; and that this Bond has been issued
in conversion of and exchange for or replacement of a bond, bonds, or a portion of a
bond or bonds of an issue which originally was approved by the Attorney General of the
State of Texas and registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas.
Paying Agent/Registrar
Dated By
Authorized Representative"
An authorized representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, before the delivery of
any such Bond, date and manually sign the above Certificate, and no such Bond shall be
deemed to be issued or outstanding unless such Certificate is so executed. The Paying
Agent/Registrar promptly shall cancel all Bonds surrendered for conversion and exchange
or replacement. No additional ordinances, orders, or resolutions need be passed or
adopted by the governing body of the Issuer or any other body or person so as to

owners of the Bonds that at all times while the Bonds are outstanding the Issuer will
provide a competent and legally qualified bank, trust company, financial institution, or
other agency to act as and perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds
under this Ordinance, and that the Paying Agent/Registrar will be one entity. The Issuer
reserves the right to, and may, at its option, change the Paying Agent/Registrar upon not
less than 120 days written notice to the Paying Agent/Registrar, to be effective not later
than 60 days prior to the next principal or interest payment date after such notice. In the
event that the entity at any time acting as Paying Agent/Registrar (or its successor by
merger, acquisition, or other method) should resign or otherwise cease to act as such, the
Issuer covenants that promptly it will appoint a competent and legally qualified bank, trust
company, financial institution, or other agency to act as Paying Agent/Registrar under this
Ordinance. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the previous Paying
13
Agent/Registrar promptly shall transfer and deliver the Registration Books (or a copy
thereof), along with all other pertinent books and records relating to the Bonds, to the
new Paying Agent/Registrar designated and appointed by the Issuer. Upon any change
in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the Issuer promptly will cause a written notice thereof to
be sent by the new Paying Agent/Registrar to each registered owner of the Bonds, by
United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, which notice also shall give the address of
the new Paying Agent/Registrar. By accepting the position and performing as such, each
Paying Agent/Registrar shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this
Ordinance, and a certified copy of this Ordinance shall be delivered to each Paying
Agent/Registrar.
(h) Book-Entry Only System. The Bonds issued in exchange for the Bonds initially
issued to the purchaser specified herein shall be initially issued in the form of a separate
single fully registered Bond for each of the maturities thereof. Upon initial issuance, the
ownership of each such Bond shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee
of Depository Trust Company of New York CDTC"), and except as provided in subsection
(f) hereof, all of the outstanding Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
as nominee of DTC.
With respect to Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC,
the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any
DTC Participant or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC Participant holds an
interest on the Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer
and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to
(i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC Participant with respect
to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any
other person, other than a Bondholder, as shown on the Registration Books, of any notice
with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any
DTC Participant or any other person, other than a Bondholder, as shown in the
Registration Books of any amount with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest
on, as the case may be, the Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance
to the contrary, the Issuer and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be entitled to treat and
consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the Registration Books as
the absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, premium, if
any, and interest, as the case may be, with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of giving
notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of
registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever.
The Paying Agent/Registrar shall pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective owners, as shown in the Registration
Books as provided in this Ordinance, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in
writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the
Issuer's obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on, or as the case may be, the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No
person other than an owner, as shown in the Registration Books, shall receive a Bond
14
certificate evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal, premium,
if any, and interest, as the case may be, pursuant to this Ordinance. Upon delivery by
DTC to the Paying Agent/Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has
determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the
provisions in this Ordinance with respect to interest checks being mailed to the registered
owner at the close of business on the Record Date, the word "Cede & Co." in this
Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
(i) Successor Securities Depository: Transfers Outside Book-Entry Only System.
In the event that the Issuer or the Paying Agent/Registrar determines that DTC is
incapable of discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the representation
letter of the Issuer to DTC and that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners of
the Bonds that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds, the Issuer or the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall (i) appoint a successor securities depository, qualified to act as such
under Section 17(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, notify DTC
and DTC Participants of the appointment of such successor securities depository and
transfer one or more separate Bonds to such successor securities depository or (ii) notify
DTC and DTC Participants of the availability through DTC of Bonds and transfer one or
more separate Bonds to DTC Participants having Bonds credited to their DTC accounts.
In such event, the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the
Registration Books in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be
registered in the name of the successor securities depository, or its nominee, or in
whatever name or names Bondholders transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate,
in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.
(j) Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on, or as the case may be, such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond
shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the representation letter
of the Issuer to DTC.

THIS BOND is one of an issue of Bonds initially dated January 1, 1991, authorized
in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas in the principal amount
of $7,965,000, for the purpose of providing funds to refund a portion of the City of
Coppell, Texas Waterworks and Sewer System Refunding and Improvement Revenue

required in connection with or as a prerequisite to the redemption of any Bonds or
portions thereof. By the date fixed for any such redemption due provision shall be made

Bonds or portions thereof which are to be so redeemed,plus accrued interest thereon to

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 plus accrued interest from the Paying
Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. If a portion of any Bond

tered owner or its duly authorized attorney or representative,to evidence the assignment

tered owner in the case of the assignment and transfer of only a portion of this Bond,
may be delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar in conversion of and exchange for this
Bond, all in the form and manner as provided in the next paragraph hereof for the
conversion and exchange of other Bonds. The Issuer shall pay the Paying

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. The Issuer
shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's standard or customary fees and charges for
transferring, converting, and exchanging any Bond or any portion thereof, but the one
requesting such transfer, conversion, and exchange shall pay any taxes or governmental
charges required to be paid with respect thereto as a condition precedent to the exercise

continuously maintain the Reserve Fund an amount equal to not less than the average
annual principal and interest requirements on all Outstanding Bonds and Bonds from time
to time outstanding (the "Reserve Fund Requirement"), and that, upon the issuance of
Additional Bonds, it will increase, if necessary, and accumulate the amount to be deposited
to the Reserve Fund in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 19 hereof.
The Reserve Fund requirement shall be accumulated in not more than sixty months from
the date of the Series 1991 Bonds or the Additional Bonds, as applicable. For so long as
the funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund are equal to the Reserve Fund Requirement,
no additional deposits need to be made therein, but should the Reserve Fund at any time
contain less than the Reserve Fund Requirement, then, subject and subordinate to making
the required deposits to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund, the Issuer shall
restore such deficiency from the first available Net Revenues on deposit in the Revenue
Fund. The money on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be used solely for the purpose
of paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds at any time there are not sufficient
moneys on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund for such purpose.
25
(b) In accordance with the Ordinance that authorized the Series 1985 Bonds, the
amount currently on deposit in the Reserve Fund is $1,250,488, which amount is at least
equal to the Reserve Fund Requirement for the Series 1985 Bonds. By virtue of the
issuance of the Series 1991 Bonds, the total amount required to be accumulated and
maintained in the Reserve Fund is $1,034,213, which amount is hereby determined on the
date of approval hereof to be the Reserve Fund Requirement for the outstanding Series
1985 Bonds and the Series 1991 Bonds herein authorized. The Issuer hereby covenants
and agrees to deposit, if needed, from the first available Net Revenues remaining in the
Revenue Fund after the deposits required by Section 7.03 hereof, such amounts as are
necessary to accumulate, in not more than sixty (60) months from the date of the Series
1991 Bonds, an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Requirement for the outstanding
Bonds and the Series 1991 Bonds. Such additional deposits are not needed since the
Reserve Fund contains the necessary Reserve Fund Requirements.
(c) The Issuer, may, at its option, withdraw all surplus in the Reserve Fund over
the Reserve Fund Requirement and deposit the same in the Revenue Fund.
(d) For the purpose of determining compliance with the requirements of
subsection (a) of this Section, investment securities all be valued from time to time at
their cost or market value, whichever is lower, except that any direct obligations of the
United States (State or Local Government Series) held for the benefit of the Reserve
Fund in book-entry form shall be continuously valued at their par value or face principal
amount.
Section 15. PAYMENT OF BONDS. That on or before any interest payment
date for the Bonds while any of the Bonds are outstanding, the Issuer shall make available
to the Paying Agent/Registrar therefor, in funds which will be immediately available on the
next succeeding business day, out of the Interest and Sinking Fund and the Reserve Fund,
if necessary, money sufficient to pay such interest on and such principal of the Bonds as
will accrue or mature, or will become due by reason of option or mandatory redemption.
The Paying Agent/Registrar shall destroy all paid Bonds and shall furnish the Issuer with
an appropriate certificate of cancellation or destruction.
Section 16. INVESTMENT OF CERTAIN FUNDS. That money in any fund
established pursuant to this Ordinance may, at the option of the Issuer, be placed in time
deposits or certificates of deposit secured by obligations of the type hereinafter described,
or may be invested, including investments held in book-entry form, in direct obligations of
the United States of America, obligations guaranteed or insured by the United States of
America, which, in the opinion of the Attorney General of the United States, are secured
by its full faith and credit or represent its general obligations, or invested in indirect
obligations of the United States of America, including, but not limited to, evidences of
indebtedness issued, insured or guaranteed by such governmental agencies as the Federal
Land Banks, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Banks for Cooperatives, Federal Home
Loan Banks, Government National Mortgage Association, United States Postal Service,
26
Farmers Home Administration, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, Small Business
Administration, Federal Housing Association, or Participation Certificates in the Federal
Assets Financing Trust; provided that all such deposits and investments shall be made in
such manner as will permit money required to be expended form a Fund to be available
at the proper time or times for the purposes thereof. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 14 hereof, such investments shall be valued each year in terms of current market
value as of the last day of the Issuer's fiscal year. All interest and earnings derived from
deposits and investments in the Interest and Sinking Fund immediately shall be credited
to, and any losses shall be debited to, the Interest and Sinking Fund. All such investments
shall be sold promptly, when necessary, to prevent any default in connection with the
Bonds.
Section 17. DEFICIENCIES IN FUNDS. If, at any time, the Issuer shall fail to
deposit into any fund created by this Ordinance the full amounts required hereby, the
amounts equivalent to such deficiencies shall be set apart and paid into said fund from the
first available and unallocated Net Revenues of the System, and such payments all be in
addition to the amounts otherwise required hereby to be paid into said funds. To the
extent necessary, the Issuer shall increase the rates and charges for services of the System
to make up for any such deficiencies.
Section 18. SECURITY OF FUNDS. That all funds created by this ordinance, to
the extent not invested as herein permitted, shall be secured in the manner and to the
fullest extent required by law for the security of public funds, and such funds all be used
only for the purposes and in the manner permitted or required by this Ordinance.
Section 19. ADDITIONAL BONDS. (a) That, in addition to the right to issue
bonds of inferior lien as authorized by law, the Issuer reserves the right to issue Additional
Bonds, under and in accordance with this Section, for the purpose of improving, extending
equipping and repairing the System and for the purpose of refunding, in any lawful
manner, any part or all of the Outstanding Bonds and Series 1991 Bonds then outstanding.
The Additional Bonds shall be secured by and payable from a first and superior lien on
and pledge of the Net Revenues in the same manner and to the same extent as the
Outstanding Bonds and Series 1991 Bonds; and the Outstanding Bonds and Series 1991
Bonds, any then outstanding Additional Bonds, and the Additional Bonds then proposed
to be issued shall in all respects be on a parity and of equal dignity as to lien and right.
Additional Bonds may be issued under this Section in one or more installments; provided,
however, that none of the Additional Bonds all be issued unless and until the following
conditions have been met, to-wit:
(i) The Issuer is not then in default as to any covenant, condition or
obligation prescribed by any ordinance authorizing the issuance of the outstanding
Bonds;
27
(ii) Each of the special funds created for the payment and security of the
Bonds contain the amount of money then required to be on deposit therein.
(iii) The Issuer has secured from a certified public accountant a certificate
showing that the Net Earnings of the System for either the completed fiscal year
next preceding the date of the Additional Bonds or a consecutive twelve-month
period out of the last fifteen months next preceding the date of the Additional
Bonds is equal to at least 1.25 times the average annual principal and interest
requirements and at least 1.10 times the maximum annual principal and interest
requirements (calculated on a fiscal year basis) of all Bonds and Outstanding Bonds
which will be outstanding after the issuance of the proposed Additional Bonds.
However, (A) should the certificate of the accountant certify that the Net Earnings
of the System for the period covered thereby were less than required above, and
(B) a change in the rates and charges for water and sewer services afforded by the
System became effective at least 60 days prior to the last day of the period covered
by the accountant's certificate, and (C) an independent engineer or engineering firm
having a favorable reputation with respect to such matters will certify that, had such
change in rates and charges been effective for the entire period covered by the
accountanUs certificate, the Net Earnings of the System covered by the accountant's
certificate would have been, in his or their opinion, equal to at least 1.25 times the
average annual principal and interest requirements and at least 1.10 times the
maximum annual principal and interest requirements (calculated on a fiscal year
basis) of the Series 1991 Bonds and Outstanding Bonds after gMng effect to the
issuance of the Additional Bonds, then, in such event, the coverage specified in the
first sentence of this paragraph (iii) shall not be required for the period specified,
and such accountant's certificate will be sufficient if accompanied by an engineer's
certificate to the above effect;
(iv) The ordinance authorizing the Additional Bonds (A) requires that
deposits shall be made into the Interest and Sinking Fund in amounts adequate to
pay the principal and interest requirements of the Additional Bonds as the same
become due; and (B) provides that the aggregate amount to be accumulated and
maintained in the Reserve Fund shall be increased to an amount equal to the
Reserve Fund Requirement for all Bonds to be outstanding after the issuance of
said Additional Bonds. Such additional amount shall be so accumulated in not
more than sixty months from the date of the Additional Bonds; and
(v) The Additional Bonds are scheduled to mature only on September 1
or March 1, or both.
(b) The term "Net Earnings", as used in this Section, shall mean all income,
receipts and revenues derived from the access, use and operation of the System, including
interest earned on invested moneys in the special funds created herein for the payment
and security of obligations payable from the Net Revenues, after deduction of maintenance
28
and operating expenses but not deducting depreciation, debt service payments on Bonds
and other expenditures which, under standard accounting practice, should be classified as
capital expenditures. Revenue sand receipts resulting solely from the ownership of the
System (grants, meter deposits and gifts) and interest earned on construction funds created
from Bond proceeds shall not be treated or included as income, revenues or receipts from
the operation of the System for purposes of determining "Net Earnings" nor shall the fees
paid to the Issuer for access to the System be so included unless such fees have actually
been received by the Issuer.
(c) Wherever, in this Section, the Issuer reserves the fight to issue Additional
Bonds, such term shall also include, mean and refer to any other forms or types of
obligations which may be made lawfully payable from and secured by the same source of
revenues of the Issuer.
(d) The Issuer covenants that, for so long as any principal or interest pertaining
to any Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid, it will not authorize of issue any further
bonds of the Issuer secured by a lien on and pledge of the revenues of the System
superior or senior to the pledge and lien created herein for the Bonds, or secured by a
lien on and pledge of the revenues of the System on a parity with the Bonds except in
conformity with the provisions of this Section.
Section 20. MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION, INSURANCE. (a) That the
Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that the System shall be operated on a fiscal year
basis and shall be maintained in good condition and operated in an efficient manner and
at reasonable cost. So long as any of the Outstanding Bonds and Bonds are outstanding,
the issuer agrees to maintain insurance on the System of a kind and in amoant customarily
carried by municipal corporations in the State of Texas engaged in similar type of
business. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed as requiring the Issuer 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 Issuer from doing so.
(b) That the Issuer further covenants and agrees with the owner or owners of the
Outstanding Bonds and Bonds from time to time, that it will maintain and operate the
System with all possible efficiency while any of the Outstanding Bonds and Bonds remain
outstanding and unpaid, and that it will faithfully and punctually perform all duties with
reference to the System required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas,
including the making and collecting of reasonable and sufficient rates for water and sewer
services supplied by the System, and segregation and application of the revenues of the
System as required by the provisions of this Ordinance.
Section 21. RECORDS, ACCOUNTS, ACCOUNTING REPORTS. That the
Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that so long as any of the Outstanding Bonds and
Bonds or any interest thereon remain outstanding and unpaid, it will keep and maintain
a proper and complete system of records and accounts pertaining to the operation of the
29
System and its component parts separate and apart from all other records and accounts
of the Issuer in accordance with accepted accounting practices prescribed for municipal
corporations, and complete and correct entries shall be made of all transactions relating
to the System, as provided by Article 1113, Vernon's Annotated Texas CM1 Statutes, as
amended. The owner or owners of any Bonds or any duly authorized agent or agents of
such holders, shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect all such records,
accounts and data relating thereto and to inspect the System and all properties comprising
same. The Issuer further agrees that as soon as possible following the close of each fiscal
year, it will cause an audit of such books and accounts to be made by an independent
firm of certified public accountants. Each such audit, in addition to whatever other
matters may be thought proper by the account, shall particularly include the following:
(a) A detailed statement of the income and expenditures of the components of the
System for such fiscal year;
(b) A balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal year;
(c) A detailed statement of the source and disposition of all funds of the System
during such fiscal year; and
(d) The accountant's comments regarding the manner in which the Issuer has
complied with the covenants and requirements of this Ordinance and his recommendations
for any changes or improvements in the operation, records and accounts of the System.
Expenses incurred in making the audits above referred to are to be treated as
maintenance and operating expenses of the System and paid as such. Copies of the
aforesaid annual audit shall be immediately furnished, upon written request, to the original
purchasers and any subsequent holder of the Bonds.
Section 22. FINAL DEPOSITS, GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS. (a) That any
Bond shall be deemed to be paid, retired, and no longer outstanding within the meaning
of this Ordinance when payment of the principal and interest thereon to its due date
(whether such due date be by reason of maturity, 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 by
irrevocably depositing with, or making available to, a paying agent/registrar therefor, in
trust and irrevocably set aside exclusively for such payment, (A) money sufficient to make
such payments, or (B) Government Obligations, as hereinafter defined in this Section,
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 insure the availability,
without reinvestment, of sufficient money to make such payment, and all necessary and
proper fees, compensation and expenses of such paying agent/registrar pertaining to the
Bonds with respect to which such deposit is made shall have been paid or the payment
thereof provided for to the satisfaction of such paying agent/registrar. At such times as
30
a Bond shall be deemed to be paid hereunder, as aforesaid, it shall no longer be secured
by or entitled to the benefit of this Ordinance or a lien on and pledge of the Net
Revenues, and shall be entitled to payment solely from such money or Government
Obligations.
(b) That money so deposited with a paying agent/registrar may, at the direction
of the issuer, be invested in Government Obligations maturing in the amounts and times
as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from all Government Obligations in the hands
of the paying agent/registrar pursuant to this Section which is not required for the
payment of the Bonds, and interest thereon, with respect to which such money has been
deposited, shall be delivered to the Issuer or deposited as directed by the Issuer.
(c) That, for the purpose of this Section, the term "Government Obligations" shall
mean direct obligations of the United States of America, including obligations, the
principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of
America, which may be United States Treasury obligations such as its State and Local
Government Series, and which may be in book-entry form.
Section 23. REMEDIES IN EVENT OF DEFAULT. That, in addition to all the
rights and remedies provided by the laws of the State of Texas, the Issuer covenants and
agrees particularly that in the event the Issuer (a) defaults in payments to be made to the
Interest and Sinking Fund or the Reserve Fund as required by this Ordinance, or (b)
defaults in the observance or performance of any other of the covenants, conditions or
obligations set forth in this Ordinance, the owner or owners of any of the Bonds shall be
entitled to a writ of mandamus issued by a court of proper jurisdiction, compelling and
requiring the Issuer and its officers to observe and perform any covenant, condition or
obligation prescribed in this Ordinance. 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 24. BONDS AS SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS. That the Series 1991 Bonds
are special obligations of the Issuer payable solely from Net Revenues and the holders
and owners thereof shall never have the fight to demand payment thereof out of any
other funds of the Issuer or funds raised to be raised by taxation.
Section 25. BONDS AS NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS. That each of the
Series 1991 Bonds shall be deemed and construed to be an "Investment Security", and, as
such, a negotiable instrument, within the meaning of Article 8, of the Texas Uniform
Commercial Code.
31
Section 26. ORDINANCE AS A CONTRACT. That the provisions of this
Ordinance shall constitute a contract between the issuer and the owner or owners from
time to time of the Series 1991 Bonds and, except as otherwise provided herein, no
change, variation or alteration of any kind of the provisions of this ordinance may be
made until the Series 1991 Bonds are no longer outstanding.
Section 27. FURTHER COVENANTS. That the Issuer hereby further covenants
and agrees as follows, to-wit:
(a) That it has the lawful power to pledge the Net Revenues to the payment of
the Series 1991 Bonds and has lawfully exercised said power under the Constitution and
laws of the State of Texas; that the Series 1991 Bonds and the Additional Bonds, when
issued, shall be ratably secured under said pledge in such manner that one bond shall
have no preference over any other bond of said issues as hereinbefore provided.
(b) That, other than for the payment of the Outstanding Bonds and Series 1991
Bonds, the Net Revenues of the System are not in any manner now pledged to the
payment of any debt or obligation of the Issuer or of the System, except for any debt or
obligation which has a pledge of the Net Revenues subject and subordinate to the pledge
of the Net Revenues associated with the Bonds.
(c) That for so long as any of the Outstanding Bonds and Bonds or any interest
thereon remain outstanding, the issuer will not sell or encumber the physical properties
of the System or any substantial pan thereof; provided, however, this covenant shall not
be construed to prohibit the sale of such machinery or other properties or equipment
which has become obsolete or otherwise unsuited to the efficient operation of the System.
(d) That no free service of the System shall be allowed, and should the Issuer or
any of its agents or instrumentalities make use of the services and facilities of the System,
payment of the reasonable value thereof shall be made by the issuer out of funds from
sources other than the revenues and income of the System.
(e) That 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 Issuer has
or will obtain and keep in full force and effect all franchises, permits, authorizations and
other requirements applicable to or necessary with respect to the acquisition, construction,
equipment, operation and maintenance of the System.
(f) That it will not grant any franchise or permit 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 issuer will prohibit any such competing
facilities.
32
Section 28. REGISTERED OWNERS, NOTICES, WAIVER. (a) The Issuer, the
Paying Agent/Registrar, and any agent of either of them may treat the person in whose
name any Series 1991 Bond is registered as the Owner of such Series 1991 Bond for the
purpose of receiving payment of the principal of and interest on such Series 1991 Bond
and for all purposes whatsoever, and to the extent permitted by law, neither the Issuer,
the Paying Agent/Registrar, nor any agent of either of them shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.
(b) Wherever this Ordinance provides for notice to the Owner of a Series 1991
Bond of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and sent by United States mail, first class postage prepaid, to the
address of such Owner as it appears in the register kept by the Paying Agent/Registrar.
(c) In any case where notice to the Owners of the Series 1991 Bonds is given by
mail, neither the failure to mail such notice to any Owner of a Series 1991 Bond, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
all other Series 1991 Bonds. Where this Ordinance provides for notice in any manner,
such notice may be waived in writing by any Owner entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event with respect to which such notice is given, and such waiver shall
be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Owners of the Series 1991 Bond
shall be filed with the Paying Agent/REgistrar, but such filing shall not be a condition
precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
Section 29. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED
BONDS. (a) Replacement Bonds. In the event any outstanding Bond is damaged,
mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be print-
ed, executed, and delivered, a new bond of the same principal amount, maturity, and
interest rate, as the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond, in replacement
for such Bond in the manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for Replacement Bonds. Application for replacement of damaged,
mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Bonds shall be made by the registered owner thereof
to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Bond, the
registered owner applying for a replacement bond shall furnish to the Issuer and to the
Paying Agent/Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save
each of them harmless from any loss or damage with respect thereto. Also, in every case
of loss, theft, or destruction of a Bond, the registered owner shall furnish to the Issuer and
to the Paying Agent/Registrar evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft, or destruction
of such Bond, as the case may be. In every case of damage or mutilation of a Bond, the
registered owner shall surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation the Bond
so damaged or mutilated.
(c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section,
in the event any such Bond shall have matured, and no default has occurred which is then
33
continuing in the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on
the Bond, the Issuer may authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof
except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Bond) instead of issuing a replacement
Bond, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section.
(d) Charge for Issuing Replacement Bonds. Prior to the issuance of any
replacement bond, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall charge the registered owner of such
Bond with all legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every
replacement bond issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact
that any Bond is lost, stolen, or destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the
Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond shall be found at any time, or
be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance
equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued under this
Ordinance.
(e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Bonds. In accordance with Section 6 of
Vernon's Ann. Tex. Civ. St. Art. 717k-6, this Section of this Ordinance shall constitute
authority for the issuance of any such replacement bond without necessity of further action
by the governing body of the Issuer or any other body or person, and the duty of the
replacement of such bonds is hereby authorized and imposed upon the Paying
Agent/Registrar, and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver such bonds
in the form and manner and with the effect, as provided in Section 4(d) of this Ordinance
for Bonds issued in conversion and exchange for other Bonds.
Section 30. CUSTODY, APPROVAL, AND REGISTRATION OF BONDS;
BOND COUNSEL'S OPINION; CUSIP NUMBERS; AND CONTINGENT INSURANCE
PROVISION, IF OBTAINED. The Mayor of the Issuer is hereby authorized to have
control of the Initial Bond issued hereunder and all necessary records and proceedings
pertaining to the Initial Bond pending its delivery and its investigation, examination, and
approval by the Attorney General of the State of Texas, and its registration by the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas. Upon registration of the Initial
Bond said Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a deputy designated in writing to act for
said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate on the
Initial Bond, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile,
on the Initial Bond. In addition, if bond insurance is obtained, the Bonds may bear an
appropriate legend as provided by the Insurer.
Section 31. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION. The Issuer
covenants not to take any action which would adversely affect, and to take any required
action to ensure, the treatment of the Bonds as obligations described in Section 103 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "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 Issuer covenants as follows:
34
(a) 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 are so used, that amounts, whether or not received by the Issuer, with
respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Resolution, 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;
(b) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use"
described in SubSection (a) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds (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;
(c) 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;
(d) 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;
(e) 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;
(f) 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 --
(1) 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,
(2) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning
of Section 1.103-13(b)(12) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(3) 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;
(g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated
35
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);
(h) 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; and
(i) to maintain such records as will enable the Issuer to fulfill its responsibilities
under this Section and Section 148 of the Code and to retain such records for at least six
years following the final payment of principal and interest on the Bonds.
In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenants (g), (h), and (i), a
"Rebate Fund" is hereby established by the Issuer 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.
It is the understanding of the Issuer 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 ruling are hereafter promulgated which modify, or expand provisions of the Code, as
applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant
contained herein to the extent that such modification or expansion, 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 Issuer 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.
Section 32. SALE OF INITIAL BOND. The Initial Bond is hereby sold and
shall be delivered to Prudential-Bache Capital Funding for cash for the price of
$7,820,499.50 thereof and accrued interest thereon to date of delivery. It is hereby offi-
cially found, determined, and declared that the Initial Bond has been sold pursuant to the
terms and provisions of a Purchase Contract in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, which the Mayor of the Issuer is hereby authorized and directed to execute and
deliver and which the City Secretary of the issuer is hereby authorized and directed to
attest. It is hereby officially found, determined, and declared that the terms of this sale
are the most advantageous reasonably obtainable. The Initial Bond shall be registered in
36
the name of Prudential-Bache Capital Funding.
Section 33. APPROVAL OF OFFICIAL STATEMENT. The Issuer hereby
approves the form and content of the Official Statement relating to the Bonds and any
addenda, supplement or amendment thereto, and approves the distribution of such Official
Statement in the reoffering of the Bonds by the Underwriter in final form, with such
