timely payment of debt service on the Bonds (a "municipal bond insurer") if the claims paying
ability of the issuer thereof shall, at the time of issuance, be rated by at least two of the
following rating agencies in the indicated rating categories, to-wit, "AAA" by S&P or Fitch or
"Aaa" by Moody's.
(2) A surety bond or insurance policy issued to the Issuer or other party, as agent of
the registered owners,by an entity other than a municipal bond insurer, if the form and
substance of such instrument and the issuer thereof shall be approved in writing by each Bond
Insurer of record.
(3) An unconditional irrevocable letter of credit issued to the Issuer or other party, as
agent of the registered owners, by a bank if the issuer thereof, at the time of issuance, is rated
by at least two of the following rating agencies in the indicated rating categories,to-wit, at
least "AA" by S&P or Fitch or"Aa"by Moody's. The letter of credit shall be payable in one
or more draws upon presentation by the Issuer or other party of a sight draft accompanied by

the issuer of the letter of credit) that the Issuer then holds insufficient funds to make a required
payment of principal or interest on the Bonds or Additional Bonds. The draws shall be
payable within two days of presentation of the sight draft. The letter of credit shall be for a
term of not less than three years and shall be subject to an "evergreening" feature so as to
provide the Issuer with at least 30 months notice of termination. The issuer of the letter of
credit shall be required to notify the Issuer not later than 30 months prior to the stated
expiration date of the letter of credit, as to whether such expiration date shall be extended, and
if so, shall indicate the new expiration date. If such notice indicates that the expiration date
shall not be extended, the Issuer shall deposit in the 2012 Reserve Fund, in accordance with
this section, an amount sufficient to cause the money or investments on deposit in the 2012
Reserve Fund,together with any other qualifying Reserve Fund Obligations,to accumulate to
the Required Reserve, unless the expired Reserve Fund Obligation is replaced by a Reserve
Fund Obligation meeting the requirements in any of 1 through 3, above. The letter of credit
shall permit a draw in full prior to the expiration or termination of such letter of credit if the
letter of credit has not been replaced or renewed. The Issuer or other party shall draw upon the
letter of credit prior to its expiration or termination unless an acceptable replacement is in n'
place or the 2012 Reserve Fund is fully funded to the Required Reserve. &''?

expenses, claims, or draws upon such Reserve Fund Obligation, including interest thereon,

in accordance with the provisions of the Reserve Fund Obligation. The Reserve Fund
Obligation shall provide for a revolving feature under which the amount available thereunder
will be reinstated to the extent of any reimbursement of draws or claims paid. If the revolving
feature is suspended or terminated for any reason, the right of the issuer of the Reserve Fund
Obligation to reimbursement will be subordinated to the cash replenishment of the 2012
Reserve Fund to an amount equal to the difference between the full original amount available
under the Reserve Fund Obligation and the amount then available for further draws or claims.
In the event (a) the issuer of a Reserve Fund Obligation becomes insolvent, or(b)the issuer of
16
a Reserve Fund Obligation defaults in its payment obligations thereunder, or(c)the claims
paying ability of the issuer of the insurance policy or surety bond falls below "AAA"by S&P
or Fitch or"Aaa"by Moody's, or(d)the rating of the issuer of the letter of credit falls below
the"AA" category by S&P or Fitch or the"Aa" category by Moody's,the obligation to
reimburse the issuer of the Reserve Fund Obligation shall be subordinate to the cash
replenishment of the 2012 Reserve Fund.

amounts sufficient to cause the money or investments on deposit in the 2012 Reserve Fund to
accumulate to the Required Reserve within twelve months of such occurrence, or(ii)replace
such instrument with a surety bond, insurance policy,or letter of credit meeting the
requirements in any of 1 through 3 above within twelve months of such occurrence.
(6) Where applicable,the amount available for draws or claims under a Reserve Fund
Obligation may be reduced by the amount of money or investments deposited in the 2012
Reserve Fund pursuant to clause(i)of the preceding subparagraph 5.
(7) The Issuer shall ascertain the necessity for a claim or draw upon any Reserve
Fund Obligation and provide notice to the issuer of the Reserve Fund Obligation in accordance
with its terms not later than three days (or such appropriate time period as will,when
combined with the timing of required payment under the Reserve Fund Obligation,ensure
payment under the Reserve Fund Obligation on or before the interest payment date)prior to
each interest payment date.
(8) Cash on deposit in the 2012 Reserve Fund shall be used(or investments purchased
with such cash shall be liquidated and the proceeds applied as required)prior to any drawing
on any Reserve Fund Obligation. If and to the extent that more than one Reserve Fund
Obligation is deposited in the 2012 Reserve Fund, drawings thereunder and repayments of
costs associated therewith shall be made on a pro rata basis,calculated by reference to the
maximum amounts available thereunder.

20
principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability, without
reinvestment, of sufficient money to provide for such payment, and when proper arrangements have
been made by the Issuer with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all
Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable. At such time as a Bond shall be deemed to be a
Defeased Bond hereunder, as aforesaid, such Bond and the interest thereon shall no longer be secured

writing by the Issuer. Any Future Escrow Agreement pursuant to which the money and/or Defeasance
Securities are held for the payment of Defeased Bonds may contain provisions permitting the
investment or reinvestment of such moneys in Defeasance Securities or the substitution of other
Defeasance Securities upon the satisfaction of the requirements specified in subsection 23(a)(i) or(ii).

Replacement Bonds. In the event any outstanding Bond is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall cause to be printed, executed and delivered a new bond of

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

event any such Bond shall have matured, and no default has occurred which is then 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.

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

any time,or be enforceable by anyone,and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Resolution
equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued under this Resolution.
(e) Authority for Issuing Replacement Bonds. In accordance with Subchapter B,Chapter
1206,Texas Government Code,this Section shall constitute authority for the issuance of any such
