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 City,
but only if (i) the provisions of this Section 3, 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 to the
date of such amendment, as well as such changed circumstances, and (ii) either (A) the
Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount (or any greater amount required by

entity or individual person that is unaffiliated with the City (such as nationally recognized
bond counsel) determines that such amendment will not materially impair the interests of
the Owners and beneficial owners of the Bonds. The provisions of this Section 3 may
also be amended from time to time or repealed by the City if the SEC amends or repeals
the applicable provisions of the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction determines that such
provisions are invalid, but only if and to the extent that reservation of the rights of the
City to do so would not prevent underwriters of the initial public offering of the Bonds
from lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds in such offering. If the City so amends the
provisions of this Section 3, it shall include with any amended financial information or
operating data next provided in accordance with Section 3(a) an explanation, in narrative

authenticated by manual execution by an officer or duly authorized signatory of the Registrar. In
lieu of the executed Registrar's Authentication Certificate described above, the Initial Bond
delivered at the Closing Date shall have attached hereto the Comptroller's Registration
Certificate substantially in the form provided herein, manually executed by the Comptroller, or
by his duly authorized agent, which certificate shall be evidence that the Initial Bond has been
duly approved by the Attorney General of the State of Texas and that it is a valid and binding
obligation of the City, and has been registered by the Comptroller.
(d) On the Closing Date, the Initial Bond, being a single bond representing the entire
principal amount of the Bonds, payable in stated installments to the Initial Purchaser or its
designee, executed by manual or facsimile signature of the President or Vice President of the
Board and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Board, approved by the Attorney General,
and registered and manually signed by the Comptroller, shall be delivered to the Initial Purchaser

DTC's FAST system, as evidenced by an agreement between the Registrar and DTC, the

Section 3.5: Payment of Principal and Interest. The Registrar is hereby appointed as
the registrar and paying agent for the Bonds. The principal of the Bonds shall be payable,
without exchange or collection charges, in any coin or currency of the United States of America
which, on the date of payment, is legal tender for the payment of debts due the United States of
America, upon their presentation and surrender as they respectively become due and payable at
the principal payment office of the Registrar in Dallas, Texas. The interest on each Bond shall
be payable by check payable on the Interest Payment Date, mailed by the Registrar on or before
each Interest Payment Date to the Owner of record as of the Record Date, to the address of such
Owner as shown on the Register.
If the date for the payment of principal or interest on any Bond is not a Business Day,
then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding Business Day, and payment on such
date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the original date such payment was due.
Section 3.6: Successor Registrars. The Authority covenants that at all times while any
Bonds are outstanding, it will provide a commercial bank or trust company, organized under the
laws of the United States or any state, authorized under such laws to exercise trust powers, and
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, to serve as and perform the
duties and services of Registrar for the Bonds. The Authority reserves the right to change the
Registrar for the Bonds on not less than 60 days' written notice to the Registrar, so long as any
such notice is effective not less than 60 days prior to the next succeeding principal or interest
payment date on the Bonds. Promptly upon the appointment of any successor Registrar, the
previous Registrar shall deliver the Register or a copy thereof to the new Registrar, and the new
Registrar shall notify each Owner, by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, of such
change and of the address of the new Registrar. Each Registrar hereunder, by acting in that
capacity, shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of this Section.
Section 3.7: Special Record Date. If interest on any Bond is not paid on any Interest
Payment Date and continues unpaid for thirty (30) days thereafter, the Registrar shall establish a
new record date for the payment of such interest, to be known as a Special Record Date. The
Registrar shall establish a Special Record Date when funds to make such interest payment are
received from or on behalf of the Authority. Such Special Record Date shall be fifteen (15) days
prior to the date fixed for payment of such past due interest, and notice of the date of payment
and the Special Record Date shall be sent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, not
later than five (5) days prior to the Special Record Date, to each Owner of record of an affected
Bond as of the close of business on the day prior to the mailing of such notice.
Section 3.8: Ownership; Unclaimed Principal and Interest. Subject to the further
provisions of this Section, the Authority, the Registrar and any other person may treat the person
in whose name any Bond is registered as the absolute Owner of such Bond for the purpose of
making and receiving payment of the principal of or interest on such Bond, and for all other
purposes, whether or not such Bond is overdue, and neither the Authority nor the Registrar shall
be bound by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. All payments made to the person deemed
to be the Owner of any Bond in accordance with this Section shall be valid and effectual and
#5631441.10 -7-
shall discharge the liability of the Authority and the Registrar upon such Bond to the extent of
the sums paid.
Amounts held by the Registrar which represent principal of and interest on the Bonds
remaining unclaimed by the Owner after the expiration of three years from the date such
amounts have become due and payable shall be reported and disposed of by the Registrar in
accordance with the applicable provisions of Texas law including, to the extent applicable,
Title 6 of the Texas Property Code, as amended.
Section 3.9: Registration, Transfer, and Exchange. So long as any Bonds remain
outstanding, the Registrar shall keep the Register at its principal payment office and, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Registrar shall provide for the registration
and transfer of Bonds in accordance with the terms of this Resolution.
Each Bond shall be transferable only upon the presentation and surrender thereof at the
principal payment office of the Registrar in Dallas, Texas, (or such other location as designated
by the Registrar), duly endorsed for transfer, or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by
the registered Owner or his authorized representative in form satisfactory to the Registrar. Upon
due presentation of any Bond in proper form for transfer, the Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor, within three Business Days after such presentation, a new Bond or
Bonds, registered in the name of the transferee or transferees, in authorized denominations and of
the same maturity and aggregate principal amount and bearing interest at the same rate as the
Bond or Bonds so presented.
All Bonds shall be exchangeable upon presentation and surrender at the principal
payment office of the Registrar in Dallas, Texas (or such other location as designated by the
Registrar), for a Bond or Bonds of like maturity and interest rate and in any authorized
denomination, in an aggregate amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Bond or
Bonds presented for exchange. The Registrar shall be and is hereby authorized to authenticate
and deliver exchange Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Each Bond
delivered in accordance with this Section shall be entitled to the benefits and security of this
Resolution to the same extent as the Bond or Bonds in lieu of which such Bond is delivered.
The Authority or the Registrar may require the Owner of any Bond to pay a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with
the transfer or exchange of such Bond. Any fee or charge of the Registrar for such transfer or
exchange shall be paid by the Authority.
Section 3.10: Cancellation of Bonds. All Bonds paid or redeemed in accordance with
this Resolution, and all Bonds in lieu of which exchange Bonds or replacement Bonds are
authenticated and delivered in accordance herewith, shall be cancelled and destroyed upon the
making of proper records regarding such payment or redemption. The Registrar shall furnish the
Authority with appropriate certificates of destruction of such Bonds.
Section 3.11: Mutilated, Lost, or Stolen Bonds. Upon the presentation and surrender to
the Registrar of a mutilated Bond, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a replacement Bond of like maturity, interest rate and principal amount, bearing a
#5631441.10 -8-
number not contemporaneously outstanding. The Authority or the Registrar may require the
Owner of such Bond to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection therewith and any other expenses connected therewith, including
the fees and expenses of the Registrar.
If any Bond is lost, apparently destroyed, or wrongfully taken, the Authority, pursuant to
the applicable laws of the State of Texas and in the absence of notice or knowledge that such
Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall authorize and the Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver a replacement Bond of like maturity, interest rate and principal amount,
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, provided that the Owner thereof shall
have:
(1) furnished to the Authority and the Registrar satisfactory evidence of the
ownership of and the circumstances of the loss, destruction or theft of such
Bond;
(2) furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by the Registrar
and the Authority to save them harmless;
(3) paid all expenses and charges in connection therewith, including, but not
limited to, printing costs, legal fees, fees of the Registrar and any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed; and
(4) met any other reasonable requirements of the Authority and the Registrar.
If, after the delivery of such replacement Bond, a bona fide purchaser of the original
Bond in lieu of which such replacement Bond was issued presents for payment such original
Bond, the Authority and the Registrar shall be entitled to recover such replacement Bond from
the person to whom it was delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a bona fide
purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the
extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Authority or the Registrar in
connection therewith.
If any such mutilated, lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken Bond has become or
is about to become due and payable, the Authority in its discretion may, instead of issuing a
replacement Bond, authorize the Registrar to pay such Bond.
Each replacement Bond delivered in accordance with this Section shall be entitled to the
benefits and security of this Resolution to the same extent as the Bond or Bonds in lieu of which
such replacement Bond is delivered.
Section 3.12: Book -Entry System. (a) The Initial Bond shall be registered in the name
of Initial Purchaser. Except as provided in Section 3.14 hereof, all other Bonds shall be
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
(b) With respect to Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC,
the Authority and the Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any DTC participant
or any person on whose behalf a DTC participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without
#5631441.10 -9-
limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Authority and the 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 Register, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, and
(iii) the payment of any DTC participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of the
Bonds, as shown on the Register, of any amount with respect to principal of or premium, if any,
or interest on the Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary,
the Authority and the Registrar shall be entitled to treat and consider the person in whose name
each Bond is registered in the Register as the absolute Owner of such Bond for the purpose of
payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds, for the purpose of giving notices of
redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfer
with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Registrar shall pay all
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the
respective Owners, as shown in the Register as provided in this Resolution, or their respective
attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully
satisfy and discharge the Authority's obligations with respect to payments of principal, premium,
if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than
an Owner, as shown in the Register, shall receive a Bond Certificate evidencing the obligation of
the Authority to make payments of amounts due pursuant to this Resolution. Upon delivery by
DTC to the 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 of this Resolution with respect to
interest checks being mailed to the Owner of record as of the Record Date, the phrase "Cede &
Co." in this Resolution shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
Section 3.13: Successor Securities Depository; Transfer Outside Book -Entry -Only
System. In the event that the Authority in its sole discretion, determines that the beneficial
owners of the Bonds be able to obtain certificated Bonds, or in the event DTC discontinues the
services described herein, the Authority 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, as identified by DTC, 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, as identified by DTC, of the
availability through DTC of Bonds and transfer one or more separate Bonds to DTC Participants
having Bonds credited to their DTC accounts, as identified by DTC. In such event, the Bonds
shall not longer be restricted to being registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, but may be registered in the name of the successor securities depository, or its
nominee, or in whatever name or names Owners transferring or exchanging Bonds shall
designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution.
Section 3.14: Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Resolution to the contrary, so long as any Bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such
Bonds, and all notices with respect to such Bonds, shall be made and given, respectively, in the
manner provided in the Blanket Letter of Representations.

notice at any time prior to the scheduled redemption date if the Authority delivers a

redemption notice, and such notice and redemption shall be of no effect if such moneys
and/or authorized securities are not so deposited or if the notice is rescinded. The
Registrar shall give prompt notice of any such rescission of a conditional notice of
redemption to the affected Owners. Any Bonds subject to conditional redemption where
redemption has been rescinded shall remain outstanding.

presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Owner receives such notice.

Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds.
The Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds are special obligations of the Authority payable

payment of the Bonds from funds derived or to be derived from taxation or from any revenues of
the Authority other than the Pledged Revenues.
Section 5.2: Project Fund.

(1) On or before July 1, 2018, and on or before the first day of each month
thereafter, such amounts, in approximately equal monthly installments, as
will be sufficient, together with any other amounts available therefor in the
Debt Service Fund, to pay the interest which shall become due on the
Bonds on the next succeeding interest payment date; and
(2) On or before July 1, 2018, and on or before the first day of each month
thereafter, such amounts, in approximately equal monthly installments, as
will be sufficient, together with any other amounts available therefor in the

Bonds on the next succeeding principal payment date.
Section 5.5: Investment of Funds. Money in the Project Fund and the Debt Service

PROVISIONS CONCERNING FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXCLUSION
Section 8.1: General Tax Covenants. The Authority intends that the interest on the
Bonds will be excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation pursuant to
sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder (the "Regulations"). The Authority covenants and agrees not to take any
action, or knowingly omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted,
respectively, would cause the interest on the Bonds to be includable in the gross income, as
defined in section 61 of the Code, for purposes of federal income taxation. In particular, the
Authority covenants and agrees to comply with each requirement of this Article, provided,
however, that the Authority will not be required to comply with any particular requirement of
#5631441.10 -20-
this Article if the Authority has received an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel
("Counsel's Opinion") that (i) such noncompliance will not adversely affect the exclusion from
gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds or (ii) compliance with
some other requirement set forth in this Article will satisfy the applicable requirements of the
Code ore Regulations, in which case compliance with such other requirement specified in such
Counsel's Opinion will constitute compliance with the corresponding requirement specified in
this Article.
Section 8.2: No Private Use or Payment and No Private Loan Financing. The
Authority will certify, through an authorized officer, employee or agent, that, based upon all
facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the Bonds are
delivered, the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to
be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Regulations.
The Authority covenants and agrees that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Bonds,
including interest or other investment income derived from Bond proceeds, regulate the use of
property refinance or financed, directly or indirectly, with such proceeds, and take such other and
further action as may be required so that the Bonds will not be "private activity bonds" within
the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Regulations.
Section 8.3: No Federal Guarantee. The Authority covenants and agrees not to take
any action, or knowingly omit to take any action within its control, that, if taken or omitted,
respectively, would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section
149(b) of the Code and the Regulations, except as permitted by section 149(b)(3) of the Code
and the Regulations.
Section 8.4: Bonds are not Hedge Bonds. The Authority covenants and agrees not to
take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action, and has not knowingly omitted and will
not knowingly omit to take any action, within its control, that, if taken or omitted, respectively,
would cause the Bonds to be "hedge bonds" within the meaning of section 149(g) of the Code
and the Regulations.
Section 8.5: No -Arbitrage. The Authority covenants and agrees that it will make such
use of the proceeds of the Bonds, including interest or other investment income derived from
Bond proceeds, regulate investments of proceeds of the Bonds, and take such other and further
action as may be required so that the Bonds will not be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of
section 148(a) of the Code and the Regulations. The Authority will certify, through an
authorized officer, employee or agent that based upon all facts and estimates known or
reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the Bonds are delivered, the Authority will
reasonably expect that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause
the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of section 148(a) of the Code and the
Regulations.
Section 8.6: Arbitrage Rebate. If the Authority does not qualify for an exception to
the requirements of section 148(f) of the Code, the Authority will take all necessary steps to
comply with the requirement that certain amounts earned by the Authority on the investment of
the "gross proceeds" of the Bonds (within the meaning of section 148(f)(6)(B) of the Code) be
rebated to the federal government. Specifically, the Authority will (i) maintain records regarding
#5631441.10 -21-
the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds as may be required to calculate the amount
earned on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds separately from records of amounts
on deposit in the funds and accounts of the Authority allocable to other bond issue of the
Authority or moneys which do not represent gross proceeds of any bonds of the Authority, (ii)
calculate at such times as are required by the Regulations, the amount earned from the
investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds which is required to be rebated to the federal
government, and (iii) pay, not less often than every fifth anniversary date of the delivery of the
Bonds or on such other dates as may be permitted under the Regulations, all amounts required to
be rebated to the federal government. Further, the Authority 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 Bonds that might result in a reduction in the amount required
to be paid to the federal government because such arrangement results in a smaller profit or a
larger loss than would have resulted if the arrangement had been at arm's length and had the
yield on the issue not been relevant to either party.
Section 8.7: Information Reporting. The Authority covenants and agrees to file or
cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury, not later than the 15th day of the second
calendar month after the close of the calendar quarter in which the Bonds are issued, an
information statement concerning the Bonds, all under and in accordance with section 149(e) of
the Code and the Regulations.
Section 8.8: Record Retention. The Authority will retain all pertinent and material
records relating to the use and expenditure of the proceeds of the Bonds until six years after the
last Bond is redeemed, or such shorter period as authorized by subsequent guidance issued by the
Department of Treasury, if applicable. All records will be kept in a manner that ensures their
complete access throughout the retention period. For this purpose, it is acceptable that such
records are kept either as hardcopy books and records or in an electronic storage and retrieval
system, provided that such electronic system includes reasonable controls and quality assurance
programs that assure the ability of the Authority to retrieve and reproduce such books and
records in the event of an examination of the Bonds by the Internal Revenue Service.
Section 8.9: Registration. The Bonds will be issued in registered form.
Section 8.10: Continuing Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Resolution, the Authority's obligations under the covenants and provisions of this Article shall
survive the defeasance and discharge of the Bonds.

Section 10.3: Limitations, Disclaimers and Amendments.
#5631441.10 -24-
(a) The Authority shall be obligated to observe and perform the covenants specified
in this Article for so long as, but only for so long as, the Authority remains an "obligated person"
with respect to the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule, except that the Authority in any event
will give notice of any bond calls and any defeasances that cause the Authority to be no longer
an "obligated person."
(b) The provisions of this Article are for the sole benefit of the Owners and beneficial
owners of the Bonds, and nothing in this Article, express or implied, shall give any benefit or any
legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim hereunder to any other person. The Authority
undertakes to provide only the financial information, operating data, financial statements, and
notices which it has expressly agreed to provide pursuant to this Article and does not hereby
undertake to provide any other information that may be relevant or material to a complete
presentation of the Authority's financial results, condition, or prospects or hereby undertake to
update any information provided in accordance with this Article or otherwise, except as
expressly provided herein. The Authority 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 AUTHORITY BE LIABLE TO THE
OWNER 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 AUTHORITY, WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT
ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT SPECIFIED IN THIS ARTICLE, 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.
(c) No default by the Authority in observing or performing its obligations under this
Article shall constitute a breach of or default under the Resolution for purposes of any other
provisions of this Resolution.
(d) Nothing in this Article is intended or shall act to disclaim, waive, or otherwise
limit the duties of the Authority under federal and state securities laws.
(e) The provisions of this Article may be amended by the Authority 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 Authority, but only if
(i) the provisions of this Article, 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 to the date of such amendment, as
well as such changed circumstances, and (ii) either (A) the Owners of a majority in aggregate
principal amount (or any greater amount required by any other provisions of this Resolution that
authorizes such an amendment) of the Outstanding Bonds consent to such amendment or (B) an
entity or individual person that is unaffiliated with the Authority (such as nationally recognized
bond counsel) determines that such amendment will not materially impair the interests of the
Owners and beneficial owners of the Bonds. The provisions of this Article may also be amended
from time to time or repealed by the Authority if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable
#5631441.10 -25-
provisions of the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction determines that such provisions are invalid,
but only if and to the extent that reservation of the Authority's right to do so would not prevent
underwriters of the initial public offering of the Bonds from lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds
in such offering. If the Authority so amends the provisions of this Article, it shall include with
any amended financial information or operating data next provided in accordance with Section
10.1 an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of any
change in the type of financial information or operating data so provided.
