form presented to the City Council at the meeting at which this Ordinance was considered, is hereby
approved and the Mayor and City Secretary of the City are hereby authorized to execute the Paying
Agent/Registrar Agreement and approve any changes in the final form thereof.
The Paying Agent/Registrar shall obtain and record in the Registration Books the address of

accomplish the foregoing transfer and exchange of any Bond or portion thereof, and the Paying

on each substitute Bond issued in exchange for any Bond or Bonds issued under this Ordinance the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall execute the PAYING AGENT/REGISTRAR'S AUTHENTICATION
CERTIFICATE, in the form set forth in the FORM OF BOND.
(d) Substitute Pg3dp-g Agent/Registrar. The City covenants with the registered owners of the
Bonds that at all times while the Bonds are outstanding the City will provide a competent and legally
qualified bank, trust company, financial institution or other entity 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 City reserves the right to, and may, at its option and to the extent permitted
by law, (i) act in the capacity of Paying Agent/Registrar or (ii) change the Paying Agent/Registrar
upon not less than 30 days written notice to the Paying Agent/Registrar, to be effective at such time
which will not disrupt or delay payment on 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 City
covenants that promptly it will assume the duties or 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 Agent/Registrar
promptly shall transfer and deliver the Registration Books (or a copy thereof), along with all other

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.
(e) Book-EptnL-Only System for Bonds. The Bonds issued in exchange for the Bonds
initially issued to the purchaser specified in Section 25 herein shall be initially issued in the form of a
HUNTSVILLEAW&SEWERREV2002: Ordinance
separate single fully registered Bond payable in installments in the aggregate principal amount.
Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Bond shall be registered in the name of Cede &
Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company of New York ("DTC"), 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 City
and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any securities brokers
and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations on whose
behalf DTC was created ("DTC Participant") to hold securities to facilitate the clearance and
settlement of securities transactions among DTC Participants or to any person on behalf of whom
such DTC Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding
sentence, the City 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 registered owner of the Bonds, as shown on the Registration Books, of any notice with
respect to the Bonds or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a
registered owner of Bonds, as shown in the Registration Books of any amount with respect to
principal of or interest on the Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the
contrary, the City 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 and interest 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 and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the
registered 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 City's obligations with respect to payment of principal of and interest
on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a registered owner, as
shown in the Registration Books, shall receive a Bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the
City to make payments of principal and interest 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
words "Cede & Co." in this Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
(f) Successor Securities De ositoKy; Transfers Outside Book -Entry -Only Systems. In the
event that the City determines to discontinue the use of the Book-Entry-Only System through DTC,
or DTC determines to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds, the City 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
HLWFSVILLFAW&SEWEMV'2002: Ordinance
the Registration Books in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but maybe registered in the
name of the successor securities depository, or its nominee, or in whatever name or names registered
owners transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this
Ordinance. Whenever a successor securities depository has been appointed pursuant to this
paragraph, the terms DTC and DTC Participant as used in this Ordinance shall refer to such
successor securities depository and its participants, respectively.
(g) 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 for DTC, all
payments with respect to principal of and interest on 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
City to DTC.
(h) DTC Blanket Letter of Representations. The City confirms execution of a Blanket Letter
of Representations with DTC establishing the Book-Entry-Only System with respect to the Bonds.
SECTION 6. FORM OF BOND. The form of each Bond, including the form of Paying
Agent/Registrar's Authentication Certificate, the form of Assignment and the form of Registration
Certificate of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas to be attached only to the
Bonds initially issued and delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, shall be, respectively, substantially
in the form set forth in Exhibit "B" hereto, with such appropriate variations, omissions or insertions
as are permitted or required by this Ordinance.
SECTION 7. PLEDGE OF NET REVENUES. (a) The City hereby covenants and agrees
that all Net Revenues of the System, with the exception of those in excess of the amounts required to
establish and maintain the special funds created for the payment and security of the Bonds Similarly
Secured, are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the Previously Issued Bonds, the Bonds
and Additional Bonds, if issued including the establishment and maintenance of the special funds
created and established for the payment and security thereof, all as hereinafter provided. It is hereby
ordained that the Bonds Similarly Secured and the interest thereon, shall constitute a first lien on the
Net Revenues of the System in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Ordinance, which
lien shall be valid and binding without any physical delivery thereof or further act by the City.
Chapter 1208, Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Bonds and the pledge of revenues
granted by the City under this Section 7, and such pledge is therefore valid, effective and perfected.
If Texas law is amended at any time while the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge
of revenues granted by the City under this Section 7 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
Bonds 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. WATERWORKS AND SEWER SYSTEM FUND. The City hereby
covenants and agrees that Gross Revenues of the System (excluding earnings and income derived
HLNTSV1U,E/WW&SEWEFREV2002: Ordinance 6
from investments held in the Interest and Sinking Fund and Reserve Fund) shall be deposited as
collected to the credit of a fund maintained at a Depository and known on the books and records of
the City as the "Water and Sewer Fund" (herein called the "System Fund "), and such revenues of the
System shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the City. All Gross Revenues
deposited in the System Fund shall be pledged and appropriated to the extent required for the
following uses and in the order of priority shown:
(a) To the payment of all necessary and reasonable Maintenance and Operating Expenses
as defined herein or required by statute to be a first charge on and claim against the Gross Revenues
thereof.
(b) To the payment of the amounts required to be deposited in the Interest and Sinking
Fund established and maintained for the payment of Debt Service on the Bonds Similarly Secured as
the same becomes due and payable.
(c) To the payment of the amounts required to be deposited in the Reserve Fund to
accumulate and maintain therein the Required Reserve in accordance with the provisions of this
Ordinance or any other ordinance relating to issuance of Bonds Similarly Secured.
Any Net Revenues remaining in the System Fund after satisfying the foregoing payments, or making
adequate and sufficient provision for the payment thereof, may be appropriated and used for any
other City purpose now or hereafter permitted by law.
SECTION 9. INTEREST AND SINKING FUND. To provide funds to pay the principal of
and interest on the Bonds Similarly Secured as the same shall become due and payable, the City
hereby agrees and covenants to maintain at a Depository a special Account or Fund known as the
"City of Huntsville Waterworks and Sewer System Revenue Bonds Interest and Sinking Fund: (the
"Interest and Sinking Fund "). In addition to the payments required to be made to the Interest and
Sinking Fund in accordance with the provisions of the ordinance authorizing the Previously Issued
Bonds, the City covenants that there shall be deposited into the Interest and Sinking Fund prior to
each principal and interest payment date for the Bonds from the Net Revenues an amount equal to
One Hundred Per Centum (100 %) of the amount required to fully pay the interest on and principal of
the Bonds then falling due and payable, such deposits to the Interest and Sinking Fund to pay accrued
interest and maturing principal on the Bonds to be made in substantially equal monthly installments
on or before the 1St day of each month beginning on or before the 1 St day of the month next following
the month the Bonds are delivered to the Purchaser.
If the City shall, for any reason, fail to pay into the Interest and Sinking Fund in any month
the full amounts above stipulated, amounts equivalent to such deficiencies shall be set apart and paid
into said Interest and Sinking Fund from the first available and unallocated Net Revenues of the
following month or months, and such payments shall be in addition to the amounts hereinabove
provided to be otherwise paid into the Interest and Sinking Fund during such month or months.
Money in the Interest and Sinking Fund shall be used only to pay the principal of and interest on the
Previously Issued Bonds, the Bond and Additional Bonds.
HLNI'SVILLEf W W&SEWEMEV2W2: 4rdin=e
Any surplus proceeds of sale of the Bonds shall be deposited in the Interest and Sinking
Fund, and such deposits shall be taken into consideration and reduce the amount of the monthly
installments otherwise required to be deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund from the Net
Revenues of the System.
SECTION 10. RESERVE FUND. For purposes of accumulating and maintaining funds as a
reserve for the payment of the Bonds Similarly Secured, the City agrees and covenants to create and
maintain on the books and records of the City a separate and special fund or account known as the
"Revenue Bond Reserve Fund" (the "Reserve Fund"), and all funds deposited to the credit of such
fund shall be kept and maintained in a special banking account or fund maintained at a Depository.
All funds deposited therein (excluding earnings and income derived or received from deposits or
investments which maybe transferred to the System Fund referred to in Section 8 hereof during such
periods as there is on deposit in the Reserve Fund the Required Reserve) shall be used solely for the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds Similarly Secured when (whether at maturity,
upon a mandatory redemption date or any interest payment date) other funds available for such
purposes are insufficient, and, in addition, may be used to the extent not required to maintain the
Required Reserve, to pay, or provide for the payment of, the final principal amount of a series of
Bonds Similarly Secured so that such series of Bonds Similarly Secured is no longer deemed to be
Outstanding as such term is defined herein.
The City hereby reaffirms that it will accumulate and, when accumulated, continuously
maintain in the Reserve Fund an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Average Annual Debt Service
(calculated on a Fiscal Year basis) for all Bonds Similarly Secured then Outstanding, as determined
on the date each series of Additional Bonds are delivered or incurred, as the case may be, or (ii) the
maximum amount in a reasonably required reserve fund that can be invested without restriction as to
yield pursuant to Subsection (d) or Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and regulations promulgated thereunder B the "Required Reserve."
By reason of the issuance of the Bonds, the Required Reserve shall be an amount equal to the
Average Annual Debt Service (calculated on a Fiscal Year basis) for all Bonds Similarly Secured
that are Outstanding at the time the provisions hereof become operative and effective, and the City
shall continue to make monthly deposits in the Reserve Fund, if then required, on or before the I"
day of each month in substantially equal amounts so that the Required Reserve shall have been
accumulated in the Reserve Fund within 60 months from the date of issuance of the Bonds.
When and so long as the cash and investments in the Reserve Fund total not less than the
Required Reserve, no deposits need be made to the credit of the Reserve Fund; but, if and when the
Reserve Fund at any time contains less than the Required Reserve, the City covenants and agrees to
cure the deficiency in the Required Reserve by resuming monthly deposits to said fund from the Net
Revenues of the System; such monthly deposits to be in amounts equal to not less than 1/60th of the
then total Required Reserve to be maintained in said fund and to be made on or before the 15th day of
each month until the total Required Reserve then to be maintained in said Fund has been fully
restored. The City further covenants and agrees that, subject only to the payments to be made to the
Interest and Sinking Fund, the Net Revenues shall be applied and appropriated and used to establish
MNTSV1UEfWW&SEWEMEV2W2: Ordin=e 8
and maintain the Required Reserve and to cure any deficiency in such amounts as required by the
terms of this Ordinance and any other ordinance pertaining to the issuance of Additional Bonds.
During such times as the Reserve Fund contains the total Required Reserve, the City may, at
its option, withdraw all surplus in the Reserve Fund in excess of the Required Reserve and deposit
such surplus in the System Fund.
SECTION 11. TRANSFERS FROM FUNDS. While any of the Bonds are Outstanding, the
proper officers of the City are hereby authorized to transfer or cause to be transferred to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, from funds on deposit in the Interest and Sinking Fund and, if necessary, in the
Reserve Fund, amounts sufficient to fully pay and discharge promptly each installment of interest
and principal of the Bonds as the same accrue or mature; such transfer of funds to be made in such
manner as will cause immediately available funds to be deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar
for the Bonds at the close of the last business day next preceding the date of a payment for the
Bonds.
SECTION 12. SECURITY OF FUNDS - INVESTMENTS. (a) Moneys on deposit in the
funds referred to in this Ordinance (except any portion thereof,as may be at any time properly
invested) shall be secured in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted by law for the security of
public funds, and moneys on deposit in such funds shall be used only for the purposes permitted by
this Ordinance.
(b) Money deposited to the credit of any fund referenced in this Ordinance may, at the option
of the City be invested in funds and obligations authorized and identified in the Public Funds
Investment Act, as amended (Government Code, Chapter 2256); provided, however, the investment
of moneys in the Interest and Sinking Fund and Reserve Fund shall be restricted to Government
Obligations and time deposits or certificates of deposit secured (to the extent not insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) by Government Obligations; provided that all such deposits
and investments shall be made in such a manner that the money required to be expended from any
fund will be available at the proper time or times. Such investments (except State and Local
Government Series investments held in book entry form, which shall at all times be valued at cost)
shall be valued in terms of current market value within 45 days of the close of each Fiscal Year and,
with respect to investments held for the account of the Reserve Fund, within 30 days of the date of
passage of each ordinance authorizing the issuance of Additional Bonds. All interest and income
derived from deposits and investments in the Interest and Sinking Fund immediately shall be credited
to, and any losses debited to, the Interest and Sinking Fund. All interest and interest income derived
from deposits in and investments of the Reserve Fund shall, subject to the limitations provided in
Section 10 hereof, be credited to and deposited in the System Fund. All such investments shall be
sold promptly when necessary to prevent any default in connection with the Bonds.

OBLIGATIONS SECURED BY INFERIOR LIEN. (a) Subject to the provisions hereinafter
appearing as to conditions precedent which must be satisfied, the City reserves the right to issue,
from time to time as needed, Additional Bonds for any lawful purpose. Such Additional Bonds may
be issued in such form and manner as now or hereafter authorized by the laws of the State of Texas
HLWSV1LLE/WW&SEWEMV2002: Ordfita= 9
for the issuance of evidences of indebtedness or other instruments, and should new methods or
financing techniques be developed that differ from those now available and in normal use, the City
reserves the right to employ the same in its financing arrangements provided only that the following
conditions precedent for the authorization and issuance of the same are satisfied, to wit:
(1) The Director of Finance of the City (or other officer of the City then having the primary
responsibility for the financial affairs of the City) shall have executed a certificate stating (a)
that, t o t he b est o f h is knowledge and b elief, t he C ity i s n of t hen in default as to any
covenant, obligation or agreement contained in any ordinance or other proceeding relating to
any obligations of the City payable from and secured by a lien on and pledge of the Net
Revenues of the System that would materially affect the security or payment of such
obligations and (b) either (i) payments into all special funds or accounts created and
established for the payment and security of all outstanding obligations payable from and
secured by a lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System have been made and the

deposit therein or (ii) the application of the proceeds of sale of such obligations then being
issued will cure any such deficiency.
(2) The Additional Bonds shall be scheduled to mature or be payable as to principal on
February 15 or August 15 (or both) in each year the same are to be outstanding or during the

(for the issuance of Additional Bonds) set forth in subparagraph (a) (3) shall give effect to the Debt
Service of the proposed refunding bonds (and shall not give effect to the Debt Service of the Bonds
Similarly Secured being refunded following their cancellation or provision being made for their
payment).
(c) The City hereby reserves the right to issue obligations payable from and secured by a lien
on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System, junior and subordinate in rank and dignity to the
lien and pledge securing the payment of the Bonds Similarly Secured, as may be authorized by the
laws of the State of Texas.
SECTION 14. RATES AND CHARGES. For the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds and in
addition to all provisions and covenants in the laws of the State of Texas and in this Ordinance, the
City hereby expressly stipulates and agrees, while any of the Bonds are Outstanding, to establish and
maintain rates and charges for facilities and services afforded by the System that are reasonably
expected, on the basis of available information and experience and with due allowance for
contingencies, to produce Gross Revenues in each Fiscal Year sufficient:
(a) To pay Maintenance and Operating Expenses, depreciation charges and replacement
and betterment costs,
(b) To produce Net Revenues sufficient to pay the current Debt Service on the Bonds
Similarly Secured then Outstanding and the amounts required to be deposited in any reserve or
contingency fund created for the payment and security of the Bonds Similarly Secured, or other
evidences of indebtedness issued or incurred that are payable only from and secured solely by a lien
on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System, and
(c) To produce Net Revenues equal to at least 1.10 times the annual Debt Service for the
Bonds Similarly Secured then Outstanding.
(d) To pay all other indebtedness payable from the Net Revenues and/or secured by a lien
on the properties or the revenues of the System.
SECTION 15. MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION - INSURANCE. The City shall
maintain the System in good condition and operate the same in an efficient manner and at reasonable
cost. In regard to the operations and properties of the System, the City also agrees to carry and
maintain liability and property damage insurance ofthe kind and in the amounts carried by municipal
corporations in Texas owning and operating similar facilities and providing like services; provided,
however, the City in lieu of and/or in combination with carrying such insurance may self-insure
against such perils and risks by establishing self-insurance reserves. Annually each year not later
than the end of each Fiscal Year, the City shall prepare or c ause t o b e p repared b y a p erson
competent and knowledgeable in such matters a written evaluation of the adequacy of such self-
HUNTSVILLEAW&SEWERMV2002: Ordinance 11
insurance and/or insurance coverage and of any recommended changes in regard to the City's
insurance/self-insurance policies, practices and procedures.
SECTION 16. RECORDS - ACCOUNTS - ACCOUNTING REPORTS. The City hereby
covenants and agrees that while any of the Bonds are Outstanding, it will keep and maintain separate
and complete records and accounts pertaining to the operations of the System in which complete and
correct entries shall be made of all transactions relating thereto, as provided by Chapter 1502, Texas
Government Code, as amended or other applicable law. The Holders of any Bonds or any duly
authorized agent or agents of such Holders shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect such
records, accounts and data relating thereto, and to inspect the System an all properties comprising
same. The City further agrees that 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 accountant, shall
particularly include the following:
(a) A statement of the income and expenses of the System for such Fiscal Year.
(b) A balance sheet for the System as of the end of such Fiscal Year,
(c) The Accountant's comments regarding the manner in which the City has carried out
the requirements of this Ordinance and any other ordinance authorizing the issuance of Additional
Bonds and his recommendations for any changes or improvements in the operations, records and
accounts of the System.
Expenses incurred in making an annual audit of the operations of the System are to be regarded as
Maintenance and Operating Expenses. Copies of each annual audit shall be furnished to the
Executive Director of the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas at his office in Austin, Texas, and,
upon request, to the initial Purchasers of the Bonds and subsequent Holders of any of the said Bonds.
The audits herein required shall be made within 120 days following the close of each Fiscal Year
insofar as is possible.
SECTION 17. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF INTEREST ON
THE BONDS. (a) Covenants. The City covenants to take any action necessary to assure, or refrain
from any action which would adversely affect, the treatment of the Bonds as obligations described in
section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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 City covenants as follows:
(1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Bonds or the projects financed therewith (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 or the projects financed therewith are so used, such
amounts, whether or not received by the City, with respect to such private business use, do
not, under the terms of this Ordinance or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly,
WNTSVILLE/WW&SEWERREV2002: Ordinance 12
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;
(2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use"
described in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the
projects financed therewith (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;
(3) 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;
(4) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Bonds
being treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 14 1 (b) of the Code;
(5) 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;
(6) 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 --
(A) 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,
(B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of
section 1.148 -1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(C) 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;
(7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated 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 refimdings); and
RUNTSVILJ-EfWW&SEWERREV2002: Ordinance 13
(8) 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.
(b) Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (8), a "Rebate
Fund" is hereby established by the City 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.
(c) Proceeds. The City understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds"
as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred proceeds (if
any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds expended prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds. It is
the understanding of the City 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 rulings are hereafter promulgated which modify or
expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Bonds, the City will not be required to comply
with any covenant contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, 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 City 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. In furtherance of such intention, the
City hereby authorizes and directs the City Manager to execute any documents, certificates or reports
required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the City, which may be permitted by
the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Bonds.
(d) Allocation Of, and Limitation On, Expenditures for the Project. The City covenants to
account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings to be used for the purposes
described in Section 2 of this Ordinance (the "Project") on its books and records in accordance with
the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The City recognizes that in order for the proceeds to
be considered used for the reimbursement of costs, the proceeds must be allocated to expenditures
within 18 months of the later of the date that (1) the expenditure is made, or (2) the Project is
completed; but in no event later than three years after the date on which the original expenditure is
paid. The foregoing notwithstanding, the City recognizes that in order for proceeds to be expended
under the Internal Revenue Code, the sale proceeds or investment earnings must be expended no
more than 60 days after the earlier of (1) the fifth anniversary of the delivery of the Bonds, or (2) the
date the Bonds are retired. The City agrees to obtain the advice of nationally-recognized bond
counsel if such expenditure fails to comply with the foregoing to assure that such expenditure will
not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. For purposes hereof, the City shall not be
HUNTSVILLFJWW&SEWEMV2002: ordinance 14
obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to comply will not
adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest.
(e) Disposition of Project. The City covenants that the property constituting the Project will
not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the City of cash or other
compensation, unless the City obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such
sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bond. For purposes of
the foregoing, the portion of the property comprising personal property and disposed in the ordinary
course shall not be treated as a transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For
purposes hereof, the City shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion
that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes
from gross income of the interest.
SECTION 18. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING. (a) Annual Reports.
The City shall provide annually to each NRMSIR and any SID, within six months after the end of
any Fiscal Year, financial information and operating data with respect to the System of the general

be required to provide financial information and operating data pursuant to this paragraph (a).
The financial information and operating data to be provided pursuant to this paragraph (a)

MSRB) that theretofore has been provided to each NRMSIR and any SID or filed with the SEC.
(b) Material Event Notices. The City shall notify any SID and either each NRMSIR or the
MSRB, in a timely manner, of any of the following events with respect to the Bonds, if such event is

The City shall notify any SID and either each NRMSIR or the MSRB, in a timely manner, of
any failure by the City to provide financial information or operating data in accordance with
paragraph (a) of this Section by the time required by such paragraph.
(c) Limitations, Disclaimers, and Amendments. The City shall be obligated to observe and
perform the covenants specified in this Section for so long as, but only for so long as, the City
remains an "obligated person" with respect to the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule, except that
the City in any event will give notice of any deposit made in accordance with Section 22 of this
Ordinance that causes Bonds no longer to be outstanding.
The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of the Holders and beneficial owners of
the Bonds, and nothing in this Section, express or implied, shall give any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder to any other person. The City undertakes to provide only
the financial information, operating data, financial statements and notices which it has expressly
agreed to provide pursuant to this Section and does not hereby undertake to provide any other
information that may be relevant or material to a complete presentation of the System's financial
results, condition or prospects or hereby undertake to update any information provided in accordance
with this Section or otherwise, except as expressly provided herein. The City does not make any
representation or warranty concerning such information or its usefulness to a decision to invest in or
sell Bonds at any future date.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE CITY BE LIABLE TO THE HOLDER OR
BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY BOND OR ANY OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR TORT,
FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE CITY,
WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT
HUNTSVILLE/WW&SEWERREV2002: Ordkm= 16
SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, BUT EVERY RIGHT AND REMEDY OF ANY SUCH PERSON,
IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR OR ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH BREACH SHALL BE
LIMITED TO AN ACTION FOR MANDAMUS OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.
No default by the City in observing or performing its obligations under this Section shall
comprise a breach of or default under the Ordinance for purposes of any other provision of this
Ordinance.
Nothing in this Section is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive or otherwise limit the duties
of the City under federal and state securities laws.
The provisions of this Section may be amended by the City from time to time to adapt to
changed circumstances that arise from a change in legal requirements, a change in law or a change in
the identity, nature, status or type of operations of the System, but only if (1) the provisions of this
Section, as so amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Bonds in the
primary offering of the Bonds in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or
interpretations of the Rule since such offering as well as such changed circumstances and (2) either
(a) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount (or any greater amount required by any
other provision of this Ordinance that authorizes such an amendment) of the Outstanding Bonds
consent to such amendment or (b) a person that is unaffiliated with the City (such as nationally
recognized bond counsel) determined that such amendment will not materially impair the interest of
the Holders and beneficial owners of the Bonds. The City may also amend or repeal the provisions
of this continuing disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable provision of the
Rule or a court of final jurisdiction enters judgment that such provisions of the Rule are invalid, but
only if and to the extent that the provisions of this sentence would not prevent an underwriter from
lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds. If the City so amends the
provisions of this Section, it shall include with any amended financial information or operating data
next provided in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section an explanation, in narrative form, of
the reason for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the type of financial information or
operating data so provided.
SECTION 19. SPECIAL COVENANTS. The City further covenants and agrees by and
through this Ordinance as follows:
(a) It has the lawful power to pledge the Net Revenues of the System to the
payment of the Bonds to the extent provided herein and has lawfully exercised said power
under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and that the Previously Issued Bonds,
the Bonds, together with the Additional Bonds, shall be ratably secured in such manner that
no one bond shall have preference over any other bond of said issues.
(b) The Net Revenues of the System have not been in any manner pledged or
encumbered to the payment of any debt or obligation of the City or the System, save and
except for the Previously Issued Bonds, the Bonds and various series of the City's
outstanding Certificates of Obligation.
HUNTSVILLFIW W &SEWERREV2002: Ordhmce 17
(c) No free services of the System shall be allowed, and should the City 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 City out of funds from sources other
than the revenues and income of the System.
(d) While the Bonds remain Outstanding, the City will not sell or otherwise
dispose of the System or, except as authorized below, any substantial portion of the System
or its component parts; provided, however, to the extent and in the manner authorized by
law, the City may sell or dispose of any property, facilities and equipment not necessary or
essential the operation of the System or which is obsolete, damaged or surplus and the
proceeds of sale of such property, facilities and equipment, if any, shall be deposited to the
credit of the System Fund.
SECTION 20. REMEDY IN EVENT OF DEFAULT. In addition to all rights and remedies
provided by the laws of the State of Texas, the City covenants and agrees particularly that in the
event the City (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 sets forth in this Ordinance, the Holder of any of the Bonds
shall be entitled to a writ of mandamus issued by a court of proper jurisdiction, compelling and
requiring the City and its officer 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 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 21. SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS. The Bonds are special obligations of the City
payable from the pledged Net Revenues of the System and the Holders thereof shall never have the
right to demand payment thereof out of funds raised or to be raised by taxation.
SECTION 22. DEFEASANCE OF THE BONDS. (a) Any Bond and the interest thereon
shall be deemed to be paid, retired and no longer outstanding (a "Defeased Bond") within the
meaning of this Ordinance, except to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section, when
payment of the principal of such Bond, plus interest thereon to the due date (whether such due date
be by reason of maturity, upon redemption, or otherwise) either (i) shall have been made or caused to
be m ade in accordance with the t erms thereof (including the giving of any required notice of
redemption) or (ii) shall have been provided for on or before such due date by irrevocably depositing
with or making available to the Paying Agent/Registrar for such payment (1) lawful money of the
United States of America sufficient to make such payment, (2) Defeasance Securities, 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 ensure the availability, without reinvestment, of sufficient
HUNTSVILL&WW&SEWEMV2002: OTdhmnm 18
money to provide for such payment and when proper arrangements have been made by the City with
the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of its services until all Defeased Bonds shall have
become due and payable or (3) any combination of (1) and (2). 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 by, payable from, or entitled to the benefits of, the Net Revenues as provided in
this Ordinance, and such principal and interest shall be payable solely from such money or
Defeasance Securities.
(b) The deposit under clause (ii) of subsection (a) shall be deemed a payment of a Bond as
aforesaid when proper notice of redemption of such Bonds shall have been given, in accordance with
this Ordinance. Any money so deposited with the Paying Agent/Registrar as provided in this Section
may at the discretion of the City also be invested in Defeasance Securities, maturing in the amounts
and at the times as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from all Defeasance Securities in
possession of a paying agent pursuant to this Section which is not required for the payment of such
Bond and premium, if any, and interest thereon with respect to which such money has been so
deposited, shall be turned over to the City, or deposited as directed in writing by the City.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of any other Section of this Ordinance which may be
contrary to the provisions of this Section, all money or Defeasance Securities set aside and held in
trust pursuant to the provisions of this Section for the payment of p rincipal o f the B and and
premium, if any, and interest thereon, shall be applied to and used solely for the payment of the
particular Bonds and premium, if any, and interest thereon, with respect to which such money or
Defeasance Securities have been so set aside in trust.
(d) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Ordinance contained, if money or Defeasance
Securities have been deposited or set aside with a paying agent pursuant to this Section for the
payment of Bonds and such Bonds shall not have in fact been actually paid in full, no amendment of
the provisions of this Section shall be made without the consent of the registered owner of each Bond
affected thereby.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, to the extent that, upon the
defeasance of any Defeased Bond to be paid at its maturity, the City retains the right under Texas law
to later call that Defeased Bond for redemption in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance
authorizing its issuance, the City may call such Defeased Bond for redemption upon complying with
the provisions of Texas law and upon the satisfaction of the provisions of subsection (a) above with
respect to such Defeased Bond as though it was being defeased at the time of the exercise of the
option to redeem the Defeased Bond and the effect of the redemption is taken into account in
determining the sufficiency of the provisions made for the payment of the Defeased Bond.
SECTION 23. 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 printed, 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.
HUNTSV11J,FJWW&SFWERnV2002: ordinance 19
(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 City 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 City 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 continuing in the
payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bond, the City 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 finmished
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 City 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 Subchapter D of Chapter
1201, Texas Government Code, 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 City 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 5 of this Ordinance for Bonds issued in exchange for other Bonds.
SECTION 24. AMENDMENT OF ORDINANCE. (a) The Bond Insurer and the holders of
the Bonds aggregating a majority in principal amount of the aggregate principal amount of then
Outstanding Bonds shall have the right from time to time to approve any amendment to this
Ordinance which may be deemed necessary or desirable by the City, provided, however, that without
the consent of the Bond Insurer and the holders of all of the effected Bonds at the time outstanding,
nothing herein contained shall permit or be construed to permit the amendment of the terms and
conditions in this Ordinance or in the Bonds so as to:
(1) Make any change in the maturity of the Outstanding Bonds;
HUNTSVILLE/WW&SEWERREV2002: Ordinmwe 20
(2) Reduce the rate of interest bome by any of the Outstanding Bonds;
(3) Reduce the amount of the principal payable on the Outstanding Bonds;

(6) Change the minimum percentage of the principal amount of Bonds necessary for
consent to such amendment.
(b) If at any time the City shall desire to amend this Ordinance under this Section, the City
shall cause notice of the proposed amendment to be delivered to the Insurer and published in a
financial newspaper or journal of general circulation in The City of New York, New York, once
during each calendar week for at least two successive calendar weeks. Such notice shall briefly set
forth the nature of the proposed amendment and shall state that a copy thereof is on file for
inspection by all registered owners of Bonds at the designated trust office of the registrar for the
Bonds. Such publication is not required, however, if notice in writing is given to each registered
owner of the Bonds.
(c) Whenever at any time not less than thirty days, and within one year, from the date of the
first publication of said notice or other service of written notice the City shall receive an instrument
or instruments executed by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of all
Bonds then Outstanding, which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed amendment
described in said notice and which specifically consent to and approve such amendment in
substantially the form of the copy thereof on file with the Paying Agent/Registrar, the City Council
may pass the amendatory ordinance in substantially the same form.
(d) Upon the passage of any amendatory ordinance pursuant to the provisions of this Section,
this Ordinance shall be deemed to be amended in accordance with such amendatory ordinance, and
the respective rights, duties and obligations under this Ordinance of the City and all the holders of
then outstanding Bonds shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder, subject in
all respects to such amendments.
(e) Any consent given by the registered owner of a Bond pursuant to the provisions of this
Section shall be irrevocable for a period of six months from the date of the first publication of the
notice provided for in this Section, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all future holders of the
same Bond during such period. Such consent may be revoked at any time after six months from the
date of the first publication of such notice by the holder who gave such consent, or by a successor in
title, by filing notice thereof with the Paying Agent/Registrar and the City, but such revocation shall
not be effective if the registered owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
HUNMVILLEMW&SEWEMV2002: Ordinance 21
then outstanding Bonds as in this Section defined have, prior to the attempted revocation, consented
to and approve the amendment.
(f) For the purpose of this Section, the fact of the holding of Bonds issued in registered form
without coupons and the amounts and numbers of such Bonds and the date of their holding same
shall be proved by the Registration Books of the Paying Agent/Registrar. For purposes of this
Section, the holder of a Bond in such registered form shall be the owner thereof as shown on such
Registration Books. The City may conclusively assume that such ownership continues until written
notice to the contrary is served upon the City.
(g) The foregoing provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the City by action of the City
Council may amend this Ordinance for any one or more of the following purposes:

(a) Section 10 shall be amended to read as follows:
"SECTION 10. RESERVE FUND. (a) For purposes of accumulating and
maintaining funds as a reserve for the payment of the Bonds Similarly Secured, the
City agrees and covenants to create and maintain on the books and records of the City
a separate and special fund or account known as the "Revenue Bond Reserve Fund"
(the "Reserve Fund"), and all funds deposited to the credit of such fund shall be kept
and maintained in a special banking account or fund maintained at a Depository. All
funds deposited therein (excluding earnings and income derived or received from
deposits or investments which may be transferred to the System Fund referred to in
HUNTSVILLEAW&SEWERUV2002: Ordin=c 23
Section 8 hereof during such periods as there is on deposit in the Reserve Fund the
Required Reserve) shall b e u sed s olely for the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Bonds Similarly Secured when (whether at maturity, upon a
mandatory redemption date or any interest payment date) other funds available for
such purposes are insufficient, and, in addition, may be used to the extent not
required to maintain the Required Reserve, to pay, or provide for the payment of, the
final principal amount of a series of Bonds Similarly Secured so that such series of
Bonds Similarly Secured is no longer deemed to be Outstanding as such term is
defined herein.
The City hereby reaffirms that it will accumulate and, when accumulated,
continuously maintain in the Reserve Fund an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the
Average Annual Debt Service (calculated on a Fiscal Year basis) for all Bonds
Similarly Secured then Outstanding, as determined on the date each series of
Additional Bonds are delivered or incurred, as the case may be, or (ii) the maximum
amount in a reasonably required reserve fund that can be invested without restriction
as to yield pursuant to Subsection (d) or Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder B the "Required
Reserve."
By reason of the issuance of the Bonds, the Required Reserve shall be an
amount equal to the Average Annual Debt Service (calculated on a Fiscal Year basis)
for all Bonds Similarly Secured that are Outstanding at the time the provisions hereof
become operative and effective, and the City shall continue to make monthly deposits
in the Reserve Fund, if then required, on or before the 1" day of each month in
substantially equal amounts so that the Required Reserve shall have been
accumulated in the Reserve Fund within 60 months from the date of issuance of the
Bonds.
When and so long as the cash and investments in the Reserve Fund total not
less than the Required Reserve, no deposits need be made to the credit of the Reserve
Fund; but, if and when the Reserve Fund at any time contains less than the Required
Reserve, the City covenants and agrees to cure the deficiency in the Required Reserve
by resuming monthly deposits to said fund from the Net Revenues of the System;
such monthly deposits to be in amounts equal to not less than 1160th of the then total
Required Reserve to be maintained in said fund and to be made on or before the 15th
day of each month until the total Required Reserve then to be maintained in said
Fund has been fully restored. The City further covenants and agrees that, subject
only to the payments to be made to the Interest and Sinking Fund, the Net Revenues
shall be applied and appropriated and used to establish and maintain the Required
Reserve and to cure any deficiency in such amounts as required by the terms of this
Ordinance and any other ordinance pertaining to the issuance of Additional Bonds.
HUNTSVILLE/WW&SEWERREV2002: Ordkm= 24
During such times as the Reserve Fund contains the total Required Reserve,
the City may, at its option, withdraw all surplus in the Reserve Fund in excess of the
Required Reserve and deposit such surplus in the System Fund.
(b) A Reserve Fund Obligation issued in an amount equal to all or part of the
Required Reserve Amount for the Bonds, the Previously Issued Bonds and the
Additional Bonds may be used in lieu of depositing cash into the Reserve Fund. In
addition, a Reserve Fund Obligation may be substituted for monies and investments
in the Reserve Fund if the substitution of the Reserve Fund Obligation will not, in
and of itself, cause any ratings then assigned to the Bonds, the Previously Issued
Bonds and the Additional Bonds by any Rating A gency t o b e I owered a nd t he
ordinance authorizing the substitution of the Reserve Fund Obligation for all or part
of the Required Reserve contains a finding that such substitution is cost effective.
(c) A Reserve Fund Obligation permitted under (b) above, must be in the
form of a surety bond or insurance policy meeting the requirements described below.
(1) (i) A surety bond or insurance policy issued to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, as agent of the Holders, by a company licensed to issue an
insurance policy guaranteeing the timely payment of debt service on the
Parity Obligations (a "municipal bond insurer") if the claims paying ability of
the issuer thereof shall be rated "AAA" or "Aaa", respectively, by S&P and
Moodys, or (ii) a surety bond or insurance policy issued to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, as agent of the Holders, 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.
(2) The obligation to reimburse the issuer of a Reserve Fund Obligation for
any claims or draws upon such Reserve Fund Obligation in accordance with
its terms, including expenses incurred in connection with such claims or
draws, to the extent permitted by law, (a Reserve Fund Obligation Payment)
shall be made from the deposits made to the Reserve Fund as provided in this
Section and in Section 8. 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 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 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" or "Aaa", by S&P and Moodys,
HLNTSVILLErW&SEWEMV2002: Ordinance 25
respectively, the obligation to reimburse the issuer o f t he R eserve F and
Obligation shall be subordinated to the cash replenishment of the Reserve
Fund.
(3) In the event (a) the revolving reinstatement feature described in the
preceding p aragraph i s s uspended o r t erminated, o r (b) the rating of the
claims paying ability of the issuer of the surety bond or insurance policy falls
below "AAA" or "Aaa ", by S &P and Moody's, respectively, the City shall
either (i) deposit into the Reserve Fund, in accordance with this Section and
Section 8, an amount sufficient to cause the cash or investments credited to
the Reserve Fund to accumulate to the Required Reserve, or (ii) replace such
instrument with a surety bond or insurance policy meeting the requirements
of 1 and 2 above, within six months of such occurrence. In the event (a) the
rating of the claims - paying ability of the issuer of the surety bond or
insurance policy falls below "A" by S &P and Moody "s, or (b) the issuer of the
Reserve Fund Obligation defaults in its payment obligations hereunder, or (c)
the issuer of the Reserve Fund Obligation becomes insolvent, the City shall
either (i) deposit into the Reserve Fund, in accordance with this Section,
amounts sufficient to cause the cash or investments on deposit in the Reserve
Fund to accumulate to the Required Reserve Amount, or (ii) replace such
instrument with a surety bond or insurance policy meeting the requirements
of 1 and 2 above within six months of such occurrence.
(4) The Paying Agent/Registrar 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 d ate u pon w hich t he p rincipal o f o r i nterest o n t he B onds
Similarly Secured will be due.
It is recognized that a Reserve Fund Obligation may be issued which is
payable only with respect to a part of the Bonds, the Previously Issued Bonds and the
Additional Bonds with the remainder of the Required Reserve being satisfied by
monies and investments and in that case any draws upon the Reserve Fund will have
to be made on a pro -rata basis to ensure that Bonds Similarly Secured enjoy an equal
amount of security. Therefore, (i) draws upon one or more such Reserve Fund
Obligations shall be made on a pro -rata basis with cash and investments available in
the Reserve Fund and (ii) deposits and credits to the Reserve Fund to restore it to the
Required Reserve shall be utilized on a pro -rata basis to pay Reserve Fund Obligation
Payments to reimburse the issuers of the Reserve Fund Obligations, thus restoring
that part of the Required Reserve, and to restore with cash and investments the
balance of the Required Reserve.
HLTNTSVILLFIW W&SEWERREV2002: Ordmawe 26

is obligated to make from Net Revenues deposited in the Reserve Fund with respect

Bond Ordinance.
DURING ANY PERIOD in which ownership of the Bonds is determined only by a book
entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, if fewer than all of the Bonds of the same maturity and
bearing the same interest rate are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds of such maturity and bearing
such interest rate shall be selected in accordance with the arrangements between the Issuer and the
securities depository.
IF THE DATE for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond shall be a
Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which banking institutions in the city where the principal
office for payment of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized by law or executive order
to close, or the United States Postal Service is not open for business (each a "Non-Business Day"),
then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not a Non-Business Day,
and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the original date
payment was due.
ON AUGUST 15, 2012 OR ON ANY DATE THEREAFTER, the Bonds maturing on and
after August 15, 2013 through 2022, inclusive, maybe redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities,
at the option of the Issuer, with funds derived from any available and lawful source, at a redemption
price equal to the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption as a whole, or from time to time in part, and, if in part, the particular Bonds, or portions
thereof, to be redeemed shall be selected and designated by the Issuer, and if less than all of a
maturity is to be redeemed the Paying Agent/Registrar shall determine by lot the Bonds, or portions
thereof within such maturity to be redeemed (provided that a portion of a Bond may be redeemed
only in integral multiples of $5,000 of principal amount).
THE BONDS maturing on August 15, 2019 and August 15, 2022 (the "Term Bonds ") are
subject to mandatory redemption prior to maturity in part, with the particular Bonds to be redeemed
to be determined by the Paying Agent/Registrar by lot or other customary method, at a price equal to
the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption, on August 15 in the
years and principal amounts shown below:

The principal amount of the Term Bonds of a maturity required to be redeemed pursuant to the
operation of such mandatory redemption requirements may be reduced, at the option of the Issuer, by
the principal amount of the Term Bonds of such maturity which, prior to the date of the mailing of
notice of such mandatory redemption, (i) shall have been acquired by the Issuer and delivered to the
Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation, (ii) shall have been purchased and canceled by the Paying
Agent/Registrar at the request of the Issuer, or (iii) shall have been redeemed pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions described in the preceding paragraph and not theretofore credited against a
mandatory redemption requirement.
AT LEAST 30 days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of Bonds or portions thereof
prior to maturity, a written notice of such redemption shall be sent by the Paying Agent/Registrar by
United States mail, first -class postage prepaid, at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for any such
redemption to the Registered Owner of each Bond to be redeemed at its address as it appeared on the
Registration Books maintained by the Paying Agent/Registrar on the day such notice of redemption
is mailed. By the date fixed for any such redemption, due provision shall be made with the Paying
Agent/Registrar for the payment of the required redemption price for the Bonds or portions thereof
which are to be so redeemed. If such written notice of redemption is mailed and if due provision for
such payment is made, all as provided above, the Bonds or portions 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 from the
Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. If a portion of any Bond shall
be redeemed a substitute Bond or Bonds having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same
rate, in any denomination or denominations in any integral multiple of $5,000, at the written request
of the Registered Owner, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
thereof, will be issued to the Registered Owner upon the surrender thereof for cancellation, at the
expense of the Issuer, all as provided in the Bond Ordinance.
ALL BONDS OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully registered Bonds, without
interest coupons, in the denomination of any integral multiple of $5,000 (an "Authorized
Denomination"). As provided in the Bond Ordinance, this Bond, or any unredeemed portion hereof,
may, at the request of the Registered Owner or the assignee or assignees hereof, be assigned,
transferred and exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of fully registered Bonds, without
interest coupons, payable to the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may
be, having the same denomination or denominations in any integral multiple of $5,000 as requested
in writing by the appropriate Registered Owner, assignee or assignees, as the case may be, 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. Among other requirements for such assignment and
transfer, this Bond must be presented and surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar, together with
proper instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, evidencing assignment 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 registered. The form of Assignment printed or endorsed on
this Bond may be executed by the Registered Owner to evidence the assignment hereof, but such
method is not exclusive, and other instruments of assignment satisfactory to the Paying
Agent/Registrar may be used to evidence the assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions
hereof from time to time by the Registered Owner. The P aying A gent/Registrars r easonable
standard or customary fees and charges for transferring and exchanging any Bond or portion thereof
shall be paid by the Issuer, but any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect
thereto shall be paid by the one requesting such assignment, transfer or exchange as a condition
precedent to the exercise of such privilege. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to
make any such transfer 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 any portion thereof called for redemption prior to
maturity, within 45 days prior to its redemption date; provided, however, such limitation of transfer
shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Registered Owner of an unredeemed balance of a Bond
called for redemption in part.
WHENEVER the beneficial ownership of this Bond is determined by a book entry at a
securities depository for the Bonds, the foregoing requirements of holding, delivering or transferring
this Bond shall be modified to require the appropriate person or entity to meet the requirements of
the securities depository as to registering or transferring the book entry to produce the same effect.
IN THE EVENT any Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds 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 cause written notice thereof to
be mailed to the Registered Owners of the Bonds.
IT IS HEREBY certified, recited and covenanted that this Bond has been duly and validly
authorized, issued and delivered; 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
have been performed, existed and been done in accordance with law; that this Bond is a special
obligation o f the Issuer, and that the interest on and principal of this Bond, together with the
Previously Issued Bonds and all other outstanding "Similarly Secured Bonds" (as defined in the
Bond Ordinance), as such interest comes due, and as such principal matures, are payable from and
secured by a lien on and pledge of the "Net Revenues" of the "System" (which is generally described
as the Issuer's combined waterworks and sewer system), all as provided in the Bond Ordinance.
THE ISSUER also has reserved the right, subject to restrictions stated in the Ordinance, to
issue Additional Bonds which also may be made payable from and equally and ratably secured by a
first lien on and pledge of, the Net Revenues of the System in the same manner and to the same
extent as this Series of Bonds.
THE ISSUER also has reserved the right, subject to restrictions stated in the Bond
Ordinance to issue obligations payable from and equally and ratably secured, in whole or in part, by a
lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues (as defined in the Bond Ordinance), junior and subordinate in
rank and dignity to the lien on and pledge of such Net Revenues securing payment of the Bonds or
Similarly Secured Bonds.
THE OWNER HEREOF shall never have the right to demand payment of this Bond out of
any funds raised or to be raised by taxation.
BY BECOMING the Registered Owner of this Bond, the Registered Owner thereby
acknowledges all of the terms and provisions of the Bond Ordinance, agrees to be bound by such
terms and provisions, acknowledges that the Bond Ordinance is duly recorded and available for
inspection in the official minutes and records of the governing body of the Issuer and agrees that the
terms and provisions of this Bond and the Bond Ordinance constitute a contract between each
Registered Owner hereof and the Issuer.

facsimile signature of the Mayor of the Issuer, and countersigned with the manual or facsimile
signature of the City Secretary of the Issuer and the official seal of the Issuer has been duly
