The Certificates are hereby sold and shall be delivered to the Purchaser, . at a price of$ (which is the par amount of the Certificates plus a premium on the Certificates of $ ), plus accrued interest, in accordance with the terms of the Bid Form of even date herewith, presented to and hereby approved by the City Council, which price and terms are hereby found and determined to be the most advantageous reasonably obtainable by the City and produced the lowest net effective interest rate. The Mayor and other appropriate officials of the City are 13 HOU:3583800.3 16 hereby authorized to do any and all things necessary or desirable to satisfy the conditions set out therein and to provide for the issuance and delivery of the Certificates. Section 7.2: Approval, Registration and Delivery. The Mayor is hereby authorized to have control and custody of the Certificates and all necessary records and proceedings pertaining thereto pending their delivery, and the Mayor and other officers and employees of the City are hereby authorized and directed to make such certifications and to execute such instruments as may be necessary to accomplish the delivery of the Certificates and to assure the investigation, examination and approval thereof by the Attorney General and the registration of the initial Certificates by the Comptroller. Upon registration of the Certificates, the Comptroller (or the Comptroller's certificates clerk or an assistant certificates clerk lawfully designated in writing to act for the Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificates prescribed herein to be attached or affixed to each Certificates initially delivered and the seal of the Comptroller shall be impressed or printed or lithographed thereon. Section 7.3: Application of Proceeds of Certificates. Proceeds from the sale of the Certificates shall,promptly upon receipt by the City,be applied as follows: (1) Accrued interest, if any, shall be deposited into the Debt Service Fund created in Section 5.2 of this Ordinance; (2) A portion of the proceeds shall be applied to pay expenses arising in connection with the issuance of the Certificates; (3) The remaining proceeds shall be applied, together with other funds of the City, to provide funds to pay contractual obligations to be incurred for the purposes set forth in Section 3.1 of this Ordinance. 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 14 HOU:3583800.3 17 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 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 15 IIOU:3583800.3 18 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 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 16 HOU:3583800.3 19 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, the Mayor, City Secretary 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, 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. 17 HOU:3583800.3 20 ARTICLE VIII MISCELLANEOUS Section 8.1: Defeasance. The Certificates may be discharged, defeased, redeemed or refunded in any manner now or hereafter permitted by law. Section 8.2: Application of Chapter 1208, Government Code. Chapter 1208, Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Certificates and the pledge of the taxes granted by the City under Section 5.1 of this Ordinance, and such pledge is therefore valid, effective and perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the Certificates are outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge of 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. Section 8.3: Ordinance a Contract - Amendments. This Ordinance shall constitute a contract with the Registered Owners from time to time, be binding on the City, and shall not be amended or repealed by the City so long as any Certificate remains Outstanding except as permitted in this Section. The City may, without the consent of or notice to any Registered Owners, from time to time and at any time, amend this Ordinance in any manner not detrimental to the interests of the Registered Owners, including the curing of any ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal defect or omission herein. In addition, the City may, with the consent of Registered Owners who own in the aggregate 51% of the principal amount of the Certificates then Outstanding, amend, add to, or rescind any of the provisions of this Ordinance; provided that, without the consent of all Registered Owners of Outstanding Certificates, no such amendment, addition, or rescission shall (i) extend the time or times of payment of the principal of and interest on the Certificates, reduce the principal amount thereof, the redemption price, or the rate of interest thereon, or in any other way modify the terms of payment of the principal of or interest on the Certificates, (ii) give any preference to any Certificate over any other Certificate, or (iii) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Certificates required to be held by Registered Owners for consent to any such amendment,addition,or rescission. Section 8.4: Legal Holidays. In any case where the date interest accrues and becomes payable on the Certificates or principal of the Certificates matures or the date fixed for redemption of any Certificates or a Record Date shall be in the City a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close, then payment of interest or principal need not be made on such date, or the Record Date shall not occur on such date,but payment may be made or the Record Date shall occur on the next succeeding day which is not in the City a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close with the same force and effect as if(i)made on the date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption and no interest shall accrue for the period from the date of maturity or redemption to the date of actual payment or(ii) the Record Date had occurred on the fifteenth day of that calendar month. 18 HOU:3583800.3 21 Section 8.5: No Recourse Against City Officials. No recourse shall be had for the payment of principal of or interest on any Certificates or for any claim based thereon or on this Ordinance against any official of the City or any person executing any Certificates.

Section 8.7: Severability. If any Section, paragraph, clause or provision of this Ordinance shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such Section, paragraph, clause or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this Ordinance. Section 8.8: Power to Revise Form of Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the Mayor is hereby authorized to make or approve such revisions, additions, deletions, and variations to this Ordinance and in the form of the documents attached hereto as exhibits as, in the judgment of the Mayor, and in the opinion of Certificate Counsel to the City, may be necessary or convenient to carry out or assist in carrying out the purposes of this Ordinance, or as may be required for approval of the Certificates by the Attorney General of Texas; provided, however, that any changes to such documents resulting in substantive amendments to the terms and conditions of the Certificates or such documents shall be subject to the prior approval of the City Council Section 8.9: Open Meeting.

Both of these bond issuances had been included in last year's forecast as well as in the current updated forecast for the Debt Service Fund and General Fund during the fiscal year 2016 budget process. Taking each issuance separately: Certificates of Obligation—Totals$5,220,000 to construction The Certificates will fund design and construction or renovation of facilities that were not included in the 2007 bond referendum as well as the 20% match towards Transportation Improvement Plan projects for Shadow Creek Trail and Green Tee Trail. The only facilities that were addressed in the 2001 bond referendum were the expansion of Tom Reid Library, the Natatorium/Recreation Center, and the Nature Center. Fire Stations and renovation of existing facilities were not addressed at that time and with the implementation of a combination full-time/volunteer fire department and significant growth since then, City facilities are in dire need of renovation and expansion. City Council did approve an Intent to Reimburse, Resolution R2015-4, in January 2015 and these projects have been moving forward. Below is a list of projects to be funded compared to the 2015 adopted budget: 37 RESPONSIVE RESULTS-ORIENTED TRUST-BUILDERS ACCOUNTABLE Original Revised Project Amount Amount Description SCR Trail $ 23,147 $ 23,147 Land/ROW Green Tee Trail $ 21,037 $ 21,037 Land/ROW Centennial Park Phase II $ 223,064 $ -0- Construction Tom Reid Library $ 412,300 $ -0- Construction City Hall Complex $4,397,699 $ -0- Construction Fire Station#3 $ $ 173,000 Construction Fire Station 42 $3,669,954 $3,669,954 Construction Orange St Service Center $2,120,000 $ 138,900 PER/Design Old Town Area Sidewalks $ 200,000 $ -0- Industrial Drive Realignment $ -0- $1,190,000 Design/Construction Total $11,067,201 $5,216,038 Shadow Creek Ranch Trail and Green Tee Trail - Both of these projects, extensions of hike and bike trails, were funded as part of the 2013-2014 Transportation Improvement Plan, whereby 80% of the projects is funded by grant funds. This cost represents 20% of the City's land/ROW expense with construction planned in fiscal year 2016. Since this project was not part of the 2007 Bond Referendum and outstanding authorizations have been earmarked for projects in the bond referendum, use of Certificates to fund the City's 20%match is needed Centennial Park Phase II and Tom Reid Library-the budget anticipated the use of Certificates of Obligation to fund the anticipated construction overages on these projects that were part of the 2007 bond referendum, however due to the timing of the projects, construction will occur in fiscal year 2016. City Hall Complex Renovations - In line with Council direction at the March 2014 retreat and subsequent discussions; renovate and repurpose all floors in City Hall and the entire Community Center to accommodate department growth, adjaciencies, security and space needs. After preliminary engineering and review with City Council of construction options, a design contract was approved in the amount of $407,600 with Hall Barnum Lucchesi Architects. Design is currently underway and due to project timing construction dollars will not be needed until later in fiscal year 2016. Fire Station #3 - Fire Station #3, a 10,000 square foot facility is almost complete. Based on the construction bid received and awarded and other FF&E, it is projected that the project will need an additional$173,000 to complete. Fire Station #2 - Land has been purchased at the northwest corner of Fite and Harkey and construction of an approximate 10,000 square foot facility is currently underway with anticipated opening fall of 2015. Construction dollars in fiscal year 2015 totaling $3.7 million is needed. Orange Street Service Center - funding for construction and renovation of the current Orange Street Service Center was budgeted in fiscal year 2015; however due to project timing, only funds towards preliminary engineering and design is needed with construction later in fiscal year 2016. 38 RESPONSIVE RESULTS-ORIENTED TRUST-BUILDERS ACCOUNTABLE Industrial Drive Realignment — TxDOT has secured funding to add a turn lane on SH35 at this intersection and they will also conduct a traffic signal warrant. In order for TxDOT to move forward, the East and West Industrial Drive must realign to eliminate an existing off-set. Based on last year's capital program,this project, nct anticipated, was to be funded with existing bond authorization, however due to project cost increases on voted bond projects, funding is not available within the 2007 bond authorization, as such Certificates of Obligation would be needed to fund this improvement. On July 13`h, City Council will be asked to approve a "Notice of Intent to Issue Certificates of Obligation" pursuant to the Certificate of Obligation Act, Section 271.041 —271.049 of the Texas Local Government Code. The notice will be published once a week for two consecutive weeks in the City's official newspaper, with the date o'first publication to be before the 31'' day before the ordinance approving the issuance is anticipated.

The law also provides for a petition signed by at least 5%of the qualified voters. This notice allows for a public process. General Obligation Bonds—Totals$8,530,000 The City's budget and capital program for fiscal year 2015, included the sale of General Obligation Bonds in the amount $16,888,546.

Water/Sewer Revenue Bonds-No sale of bonds needed in fiscal year 2015 As mentioned during discussion of the 2014-2015 year-end projections during the June 29, 2015 special meeting, a budgeted bond sale in the amount of $2.1 million for the water/sewer fund will not be needed in fiscal year 2015 as the use of cash on hand is being used versus the issuance of debt. As previously stated, these projects and associated monies needed are in unification with the fiscal year 2015 budget and capital improvement program as adjusted for known cost and project timing. On July 13`- City Council will be asked to approve the Notice of Intent to Issue Certificates of Obligation as well as give approval to proceed with the General Obligation Bond sale. Upon approval, the public notice will be published for the Certificates of Obligation and the preliminary official statements for both bond issues will be drafted. It is anticipated that the bond sales would occur on August 24, 2015, with a first and final reading, as this bond sale will be competitive with bids due that day.
