Section 7.4: Tax Exemption. The City intends that the interest on the Certificates shall be excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,(the"Code")and all applicable temporary, proposed and final regulations (the "Regulations") and procedures promulgated thereunder and applicable to the Certificates. For this purpose,the City covenants that it will monitor and control the receipt, investment, expenditure and use of all gross proceeds of the Certificates (including all property,the acquisition,construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with the proceeds of the Certificates) and take or omit to take such other and further actions as may be required by Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code and the Regulations to cause the interest on the Certificates to be and remain excludable from the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of the owners of the Certificates for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,the City shall comply with each of the following covenants: (a) The City shall not use,permit the use of or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any other amounts (or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds) in a manner which, if made or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on any Certificate to become includable in the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, . of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, . unless and until the City shall have received a written opinion of counsel nationally recognized in the field of municipal bond law to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income tax of the interest on any Certificate,the City shall comply with each of the specific covenants in this Section. (b) Except as permitted by Section 141 of the Code and the regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall,at all times prior to the last stated maturity of the Certificates, (1) exclusively own,operate, and possess all property the acquisition,construction,or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds of such series of the Certificates and not use or permit the use of such Gross Proceeds or any property acquired, . constructed, or improved with such Gross Proceeds in any activity carried on by any person or entity other than a state or local government,unless such use is solely as a member of the general. public, or . (2) not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other payment for use of . Gross Proceeds of such series of the Certificates or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with such Gross Proceeds. (c) Except to the extent permitted by Section 141 of the Code and the regulations and rulings thereunder,the City shall not use Gross Proceeds of the Certificates to make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For purposes of the foregoing covenant, Gross Proceeds : are considered to be "loaned"to a person or entity if(1)property acquired, constructed or improved with Gross Proceeds is sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction which creates a debt for federal income tax purposes, (2)capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity 12 under a take-or-pay, output, or similar contract or arrangement, or (3) indirect benefits, or burdens and .benefits of ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or such property are otherwise transferred in a transaction which is the economic equivalent of a loan. (d) Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of the Code and the regulations and rulings thereunder,the City shall not,at any time prior to the earlier of the final stated maturity or final payment of the Refunded Obligations, directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds of such Certificates in any Investment(or use such Gross Proceeds to replace money so invested),if as a result of such investment the Yield of all Investments allocated to such Gross Proceeds whether then held or previously disposed of, exceeds the Yield on the Refunded Obligations. • (e) Based on all of the facts and estimates now known or reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the Certificates are delivered,the City reasonably expects that the proceeds of the Certificates (to the extent any of such proceeds remain unexpended)will not be used in a manner that would cause the Certificates or any portion thereof to be"arbitrage bonds"within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. (f) At all times while the Certificates are outstanding, the City will identify and properly account for all amounts constituting gross proceeds of the Certificates in accordance with the Regulations. The City will monitor the yield on the investments of the proceeds of the Certificates and, to the extent required by the Code and the Regulations,will restrict the yield on such investments to a yield which is not materially higher than the yield on the Certificates. To the extent necessary to prevent the Certificates from constituting"arbitrage bonds,"the City will make such payments as are necessary to cause the yield on all . yield restricted nonpurpose investments allocable to the Certificates to be less than the yield that is materially higher than the yield on the Certificates. (g) The City will not take any action or knowingly omit to take any action,if taken or omitted, would cause the Certificates to be treated as "federally guaranteed" obligations for purposes of Section 149(b)of the Code. . . (h) The City represents that not more than fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds of any new money portion of the Certificates was invested in nonpurpose investments (as defined in Section 148(f)(b)(A) of the Code)having a substantially guaranteed yield for four years or more within the meaning of Section 149(g)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code, and the City reasonably expected at the time each issue of the Refunded Certificates was issued that at least eighty-five percent (85%).of the spendable proceeds of the Certificates or the Refunded Certificates would be used to carry out the governmental purpose of ' such Certificates within the corresponding three-year period beginning on the respective dates of the Certificates or the Refunded Certificates. (i) The City will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that certain amounts earned by the City on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates, if any, be rebated to the federal government. Specifically,the City will (i)maintain records regarding the receipt, investment and expenditure of the gross proceeds of the Certificates as may be required to calculate such excess arbitrage profits separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of the City allocable to other obligations of the City or moneys which do not represent gross proceeds of any obligations of the City and retain such records for at least six years after the day on which the last outstanding Certificate is discharged, (ii)account for all gross proceeds under a reasonable, consistently applied method of • . accounting, not employed as an artifice or device to avoid, in whole or in part, the requirements of • . Section 148 of the Code, including any specified method of accounting required by applicable Regulations to be used for all or a portion of the gross proceeds,(iii)calculate,at such times as are required by applicable Regulations,the amount of excess arbitrage profits,if any,earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates and (iv)timely pay, as required by applicable Regulations, all amounts required to be • 13 rebated to the federal government. In addition,the City will exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the calculations required by the preceding sentence and, if such an error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error within a reasonable amount of time thereafter, including payment to the federal government of any delinquent amounts owed to it, including interest thereon and penalty. (j) The City 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 smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if such arrangement had been at arm's length and had the yield on the issue not been relevant to either party. (k) The City will timely file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States the information required by Section 149(e)of the Code with respect to the Certificates on such form • and in such place as the Secretary may prescribe. (1) The City will not issue or use the Certificates as part of an "abusive arbitrage device" (as defined in Section 1.148 10(a)of the Regulations). Without limiting the foregoing,the Certificates are not and will not be a part of a transaction or series of transactions that attempts to circumvent the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations, by(i) enabling the City to exploit the difference between tax exempt and taxable interest rates to gain a material financial advantage, or(ii)increasing the burden on the market for tax-exempt obligations. (m) Proper officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Certificates are hereby directed to make, execute and deliver certifications as to facts, estimates or circumstances in existence as of the Issue Date and stating whether there are facts, estimates or circumstances that would materially change the City's expectations. On or after the Issue Date,the City will take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to assure the continuous accuracy of the representations contained in such certificates. (n) The covenants and representations made or required by this Section are for the benefit of . the Certificate holders and any subsequent Certificate holder, and may be relied upon by the Certificate holder and any subsequent Certificate holder and bond counsel to the City. In complying with the foregoing covenants,the City may rely upon an unqualified opinion issued . to the City by nationally recognized bond counsel that any action by the City or reliance upon any . . interpretation of the Code or Regulations contained in such opinion will not cause interest on the Certificates to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the City's representations and obligations . • under the covenants and provisions of this Section 7.4 shall survive the defeasance and discharge of the . . Certificates for as long as such matters are relevant to the exclusion of interest on the Certificates from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes. . Section 7.5: Reserved. Section 7.6: Related Matters. In order that the City shall satisfy in a timely manner all of its obligations under this Ordinance,the Mayor,Mayor Pro Tem, City Secretary,the Director of Finance and all other appropriate officers, agents, representatives and employees of the City are hereby authorized and directed to take all other actions that are reasonably necessary to provide for the issuance and delivery of .. the Certificates,including,without limitation,executing and delivering on behalf of the City all certificates, 14 . consents, receipts, requests, notices, and other documents as may be reasonably necessary to satisfy the City's obligations under this Ordinance and to direct the transfer and application of funds of the City consistent with the provisions of this Ordinance ARTICLE VIII MISCELLANEOUS Section 8.1: Defeasance.

If Texas law is amended at any time while the Certificates are outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge of the taxes granted by the City under Section 5.1 of this Ordinance is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the Registered Owners of the Certificates the perfection of the security interest in said pledge,the City agrees to take such measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9,Business &Commerce Code and enable a filing to perfect the security interest in said pledge to occur.
