city where the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the paying Agent/Registrar is

manually and in person by each of said officers, and such facsimile seal on the
Certificates shall have the same effect as if the official seal of the Town had been
manually impressed upon each of the Certificates.
(b) In the event that any officer of the Town whose manual or facsimile
signature appears on the Certificates ceases to be such officer before the authentication
of such Certificates or before the delivery thereof, such manual or facsimile signature
nevertheless shall be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such officer had remained
in such office.
(c) Except as provided below, no Certificate shall be valid or obligatory for
any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit of this Ordinance unless and until
there appears thereon the Certificate of Paying Agent/Registrar substantially in the form
provided herein, duly authenticated by manual execution by an officer or duly authorized
signatory of the Paying Agent/Registrar. It shall not be required that the same officer or

Agent/Registrar described above, the Initial Certificate delivered at the Closing Date
shall have attached thereto the Comptroller's Registration Certificate substantially in the
form provided herein, manually executed by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the
State of Texas, or by his duly authorized agent, which Certificate shall be evidence that
the Certificate has been duly approved by the Attorney General of the State of Texas,
that it is a valid and binding obligation of the Town, and that it has been registered by
the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas.

Paying Agent/Registrar to keep at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office a register
(the "Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall provide for the registration and transfer of Certificates in
accordance with this Ordinance.
(b) The ownership of a Certificate may be transferred only upon the

(c) The Certificates shall be exchangeable upon the presentation and
surrender thereof at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying
Agent/Registrar for a Certificate or Certificates of the same maturity and interest rate
and in a denomination or denominations of any integral multiple of $5,000, and in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Certificates
presented for exchange. The Paying Agent/Registrar is hereby authorized to
authenticate and deliver Certificates exchanged for other Certificates in accordance with
this Section.
(d) Each exchange Certificate delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar in
accordance with this Section shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the
Town and shall be entitled to the benefits and security of this Ordinance to the same
extent as the Certificate or Certificates in lieu of which such exchange Certificate is
delivered.
(e) No service charge shall be made to the Owner for the initial registration,
subsequent transfer, or exchange for a different denomination of any of the Certificates.
The Paying Agent/Registrar, however, may require the Owner to pay a sum sufficient to

connection with the registration, transfer, or exchange of a Certificate.
(f) Neither the Town nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to
issue, transfer or exchange any Certificate called for redemption, in whole or in part,
within 45 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, such
Page 11 of 45

limitation shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Owner of the uncalled principal
balance of a Certificate.
Section 3.07. Cancellation.
All Certificates paid or redeemed before scheduled maturity in accordance with
this Ordinance, and all Certificates in lieu of which exchange Certificates or replacement
Certificates are authenticated and delivered in accordance with this Ordinance, shall be
canceled and proper records made regarding such payment, redemption, exchange, or
replacement. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall then return such canceled Certificates
to the Town or may in accordance with law dispose of such cancelled Certificates.
Section 3.08.Temporary Certificates.
(a) Following the delivery and registration of the Initial Certificate and pending
the preparation of definitive Certificates, the proper officers of the Town may execute
and, upon the Town's request, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver, one or more temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed, or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor
of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are delivered, without coupons, and
with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, and other variations as the
officers of the Town executing such temporary Certificates may determine, as
evidenced by their signing of such temporary Certificates.
(b) Until exchanged for Certificates in definitive form, such Certificates in
temporary form shall be entitled to the benefit and security of this Ordinance.
(c) The Town, without unreasonable delay, shall prepare, execute and deliver
to the Paying Agent/Registrar the Certificates in definitive form; thereupon, upon the
presentation and surrender of the Certificate or Certificates in temporary form to the
Paying Agent/Registrar, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cancel the Certificates in
temporary form and shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a Certificate or
Certificates of the same maturity and series, in definitive form, in the authorized
denomination, and in the same aggregate principal amount, as the Certificate or
Certificates in temporary form surrendered. Such exchange shall be made without the
making of any charge therefor to any Owner.
Section 3.09. Replacement Certificates.
(a) Upon the presentation and surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar of a
mutilated Certificate, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a replacement Certificate of like tenor and principal amount, bearing
a number not contemporaneously outstanding. The Town or the Paying
Agent/Registrar may require the Owner of such Certificate to pay a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that is authorized to be imposed in
connection therewith and any other expenses connected therewith.
Page 12 of 45
#5460696.2
(b) In the event that any Certificate is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully
taken, the Paying Agent/ Registrar, pursuant to the applicable laws of the State of
Texas and in the absence of notice or knowledge that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall authenticate and deliver a replacement
Certificate of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding, provided that the Owner first complies with the following requirements:
(i) furnishes to the Paying Agent/Registrar satisfactory evidence of his
or her ownership of and the circumstances of the loss, destruction, or theft of
such Certificate;
(ii) furnishes such security or indemnity as may be required by the
Paying Agent/Registrar to save it and the Town harmless;
(iii) pays all expenses and charges in connection therewith, including,
but not limited to, printing costs, legal fees, fees of the Paying Agent/Registrar,
and any tax or other governmental charge that is authorized to be imposed; and
(iv) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Town
and the Paying Agent/Registrar.
(c) If, after the delivery of such replacement Certificate, a bona fide purchaser
of the original Certificate in lieu of which such replacement Certificate was issued
presents for payment such original Certificate, the Town and the Paying Agent/Registrar
shall be entitled to recover such replacement Certificate from the person to whom it was
delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be
entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any
loss, damage, cost, or expense incurred by the Town or the Paying Agent/Registrar in
connection therewith.
(d) In the event that any such mutilated, lost, apparently destroyed, or
wrongfully taken Certificate has become or is about to become due and payable, the
Paying Agent/Registrar, in its discretion, instead of issuing a replacement Certificate,
may pay such Certificate when it becomes due and payable.
(c) Each replacement Certificate delivered in accordance with this
Section shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Town and
shall be entitled to the benefits and security of this Ordinance to the same extent as the
Certificate or Certificates in lieu of which such replacement Certificate is delivered.
Section 3.10. Book-Entry-Only System.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, upon initial issuance of the
Certificates, the Certificates shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee

separate certificate for each of the maturities thereof.
Page 13 of 45
#5460696.2
(b) With respect to Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, the Town 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 in the Certificates. Without limiting the immediately
preceding sentence, the Town 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 Certificates,
(ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than an Owner, as
shown on the Register, of any notice with respect to the Certificates, including any
notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person,
other than an Owner, as shown in the Register of any amount with respect to principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on the Certificates. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Ordinance to the contrary, the Town and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be
entitled to treat and consider the person in whose name each Certificate is registered in
the Register as the absolute owner of such Certificate for the purpose of payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Certificates, for the purpose of giving
notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Certificate, for the purpose
of registering transfer with respect to such Certificate, and for all other purposes
whatsoever. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall pay all principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Certificates only to or upon the order of the respective Owners as shown
in the Register, 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 Town's obligations with respect to payment of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Certificates to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other
than an Owner, as shown in the Register, shall receive a certificate evidencing the
obligation of the Town to make payments of amounts due 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., the word
"Cede & Co." in this Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
(c) The Representations Letter previously executed and delivered by the
Town, and applicable to the Town's obligations delivered in book-entry-only form to
DTC as securities depository, is hereby ratified and approved for the Certificates.
Section 3.11. Successor Securities Depository; Transfer Outside Book-Entry-
Only System.
In the event that the Town or the Paying Agent/Registrar determines that DTC is
incapable of discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the Representations
Letter of the Town to DTC, and that it is in the best interest of the Town and the
beneficial owners of the Certificates that they be able to obtain certificated Certificates,
or in the event DTC discontinues the services described herein, the Town 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 Certificates to such successor securities depository; or (ii) notify
Page 14 of 45
#5460696 2
DTC and DTC Participants of the availability through DTC of certificated Certificates and
cause the Paying Agent/Registrar to transfer one or more separate registered
Certificates to DTC Participants having Certificates credited to their DTC accounts. In
such event, the Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the
Register 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 Owners transferring or exchanging Certificates shall designate, in accordance
with the provisions of this Ordinance.
Section 3.12. Payments to Cede & Co.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as
the Certificates are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all

in the manner provided in the Representations Letter of the Town to DTC.

In lieu of calling the Term Certificates described above, for mandatory
redemption, the Town reserves the right to purchase such Term Certificates at a price
not exceeding the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, with (a) moneys on
deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund which are available for the mandatory
redemption of such Term Certificates or (b) other lawfully available funds.
Upon any such purchase in lieu of redemption, not less than five (5) days prior to
a mandatory redemption date, the Town shall deliver such Term Certificates to the
Paying Agent/Registrar prior to the selection of the Term Certificates for redemption and
the principal amount so delivered shall be credited against the amount required to be
called for redemption in that year.
Notice of such redemption or redemptions shall be given by first class mail,
postage prepaid, not less than 30 days before the date fixed for redemption, to the
registered owner of each of the Certificates to be redeemed in whole or in part. Notice
having been so given, the Certificates or portions thereof designated for redemption
shall become due and payable on the redemption date specified in such notice; from
and after such date, notwithstanding that any of the Certificates or portions thereof so
called for redemption shall not have been surrendered for payment, interest on such
Certificates or portions thereof shall cease to accrue.
The Town reserves the right to give notice of its election or direction to redeem
Certificates conditioned upon the occurrence of subsequent events. Such notice may
state (i) that the redemption is conditioned upon the deposit of moneys and/or
authorized securities, in an amount equal to the amount necessary to effect the
redemption, with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or such other entity as may be authorized
by law, no later than the redemption date, or (ii) that the Town retains the right to
rescind such notice at any time on or prior to the scheduled redemption date if the Town
delivers a certificate of the Town to the Paying Agent/Registrar instructing the Paying
Agent/Registrar to rescind the redemption notice and such notice and redemption shall
be of no effect if such moneys and/or authorized securities are not so deposited or if the
Page 25 of 45
#5460696.2
notice is rescinded. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall give prompt notice of any such
rescission of a conditional notice of redemption to the affected Owners. Any Certificates
subject to conditional notice of redemption and such redemption has been rescinded
shall remain Outstanding and the rescission of such redemption shall not constitute an
event of default. Further, in the case of a conditional redemption, the failure of the Town
to make moneys and or authorized securities available in part or in whole on or before
the redemption date shall not constitute an event of default.
As provided in the Ordinance, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
this Certificate is transferable upon surrender of this Town for transfer at the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar with such endorsement or other
evidence of transfer as is acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar; thereupon, one or
more new fully registered Certificates 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 Town nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue,
transfer or exchange any Certificate called for redemption where such redemption is
scheduled to occur within 45 calendar days of the date fixed for redemption; provided,
however, such limitation shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner
of the uncalled principal balance of a Certificate.
The Town, the Paying Agent/Registrar, and any other person may treat the
person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose
of receiving payment as herein provided (except interest shall be paid to the person in
whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, or the Special Record
Date, as applicable) and for all other purposes, whether or not this Certificate be
overdue, and neither the Town nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that the issuance of this Certificate
and the series of which it is a part is duly authorized by law; that all acts, conditions, and
things to be done precedent to and in the issuance of the Certificates have been
properly done and performed and have happened in regular and due time, form, and
manner as required by law; that ad valorem taxes upon all taxable property in the Town
have been levied for and pledged to the payment of the debt service requirements of
the Certificates within the limit prescribed by law; that, in addition to said taxes, further

Certificates from a pledge of a limited amount of the Surplus Revenues, as described in
the Ordinance, derived by the Town from the operation of the municipal drainage utility
system in an amount limited to $1,000, that when so collected, such taxes and Surplus
Revenues shall be appropriated to such purposes; and that the total indebtedness of
the Town, including the Certificates, does not exceed any constitutional or statutory
limitation.

gross income for federal income taxation pursuant to sections 103 and 141 through 150
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the applicable
regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Regulations"). The Town covenants and
agrees not to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action within its control, that
if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on the Certificates to be
includable in gross income, as defined in section 61 of the Code of the holders thereof
for purposes of federal income taxation. In particular, the Town covenants and agrees
to comply with each requirement of Sections 9.03 through 9.10, inclusive; provided,
however, that the Town shall not be required to comply with any particular requirement
of this Sections 9.03 through 9.10 of the holders thereof for purposes of federal income
taxation, if the Town has received an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel
("Counsel's Opinion") that such noncompliance will not adversely affect the exclusion
from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Certificates or if
the Town has received a Counsel's Opinion to the effect that compliance with some
other requirement set forth in this Sections 9.03 through 9.10, inclusive, will satisfy the
Page 32 of 45
#5460696.2
applicable requirements of the Code and the Regulations, in which case compliance
with such other requirement specified in such Counsel's Opinion shall constitute
compliance with the corresponding requirement specified in Sections 9.03 through 9.10,
inclusive.
Section 9.04. No Private Use or Payment and No Private Loan Financing.
The Town shall certify, through an authorized officer, employee or agent, that,
based upon all facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence on
the date the Certificates are delivered, that the proceeds of the Certificates will not be
used in a manner that would cause the Certificates to be "private activity bonds" within
the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Regulations. The Town covenants and
agrees that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Certificates, including interest or
other investment income derived from Certificate proceeds, regulate the use of property
financed, directly or indirectly, with such proceeds, and take such other and further
action as may be required so that the Certificates will not be "private activity bonds"
within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Regulations.
Section 9.05. No Federal Guaranty.
The Town covenants and agrees not to take any action, or knowingly omit to take
any action, and has not knowingly omitted and will not knowingly omit to take any action
within its control, that, if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the Certificates to
be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code and the
Regulations, except as permitted by section 149(b)(3) of the Code and the Regulations.
Section 9.06. Certificates are not Hedge Certificates.
The Town covenants and agrees that it has not taken and will not take any
action, and has not knowingly omitted and will not knowingly omit to take any action
within its control, that, if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the Certificates to
be "hedge bonds" within the meaning of section 149(g) of the Code and the
Regulations.
Section 9.07. No-Arbitraqe Covenant.
The Town shall certify, through an authorized officer, employee or agent, that,
based upon all facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence on
the date the Certificates are delivered, the Town will reasonably expect that the
proceeds of the Certificates will not be used in a manner that would cause the
Certificates to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of section 148(a) of the Code
and the Regulations. Moreover, the Town covenants and agrees that it will make such
use of the proceeds of the Certificates, including interest or other investment income
derived from Certificate proceeds, regulate investments of proceeds of the Certificates,
and take such other and further action as may be required so that the Certificates will
Page 33 of 45
#5460696.2
not be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of section 148(a) of the Code and the
Regulations.
Section 9.08.Arbitrage Rebate.
If the Town does not qualify for an exception to the requirements of
Section 148(f) of the Code, the Town will take all necessary steps to comply with the
requirement that certain amounts earned by the Town on the investment of the "gross
proceeds" of the Certificates (within the meaning of section 148(f)(6)(B) of the Code), be
rebated to the federal government. Specifically, the Town will (i) maintain records
regarding the investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates as may be required to
calculate the amount earned on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates
separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of the Town
allocable to other issues of the Town or moneys which do not represent gross proceeds
of any issues of the Town, (ii) calculate at such times as are required by the Regulations
the amount earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates which
is required to be rebated to the federal government, and (iii) pay, not less often than
every fifth anniversary date of the delivery of the Certificates or on such other dates as
may be permitted under the Regulations, all amounts required to be rebated to the
federal government. Further, the Town will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise
payable to the federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any
person other than the federal government by entering into any investment arrangement
with respect to the gross proceeds of the Certificates that might result in a reduction in
the amount required to be paid to the federal government because such arrangement
results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the arrangement
had been at arm's length and had the yield on the issue not been relevant to either
party.
Section 9.09. Information Reporting.
The Town covenants and agrees to file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of
the Treasury, not later than the 15th day of the second calendar month after the close of
the calendar quarter in which the Certificates are issued, an information statement
concerning the Certificates, all under and in accordance with section 149(e) of the Code
and the Regulations.
Section 9.10. Continuing Obligation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the Town's obligations
under the covenants and provisions of Sections 9.03 through 9.09, inclusive, shall
survive the defeasance and discharge of the Certificates.
Section 9.11. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations.
The Town hereby designates the Certificates as "qualified tax-exempt
obligations" for purposes of section 265(b) of the Code. In connection therewith, the
Page 34 of 45
#5460696.2
Town represents (a) that the aggregate amount of tax-exempt obligations issued by the
Town during calendar year 2017, including the Certificates, which have been
designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" under section 265(b)(3) of the Code
does not exceed $10,000,000, and (b) that the reasonably anticipated amount of its tax-
exempt obligations which will be issued by the Town during calendar year 2017,
including the Certificates, will not exceed $10,000,000. For purposes of this
Section 9.11, the term "tax-exempt obligations" does not include "private activity bonds"
within the meaning of section 141 of the Code, other than "qualified 501(c)(3) bonds"
within the meaning of section 145 of the Code. In addition, for purposes of this
Section 9.11, the Town includes all governmental units which are aggregate with the
Town under section 265(b) of the Code.
