provisions herein that interest is to be paid to the person in whose name the Bond is registered on
the Record Date), and for all other purposes, whether or not such Bond is overdue, and neither

(c) The Bonds shall be exchangeable upon the presentation and surrender thereof at
the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar for a Bond or Bonds of

temporary form surrendered. Such exchange shall be made without the making of any charge
therefor to any Owner.

(a) Upon the presentation and surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar, at the
Designated Payment/Transfer Office, of a mutilated Bond, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a replacement Bond of like tenor and principal

Agent/Registrar may require the Owner of such Bond to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
Ordinance No. 2017-004 - 9 -
other governmental charge that is authorized to be imposed in connection therewith and any
other expenses connected therewith.
(b) In the event that any Bond is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, the
Paying Agent/Registrar, 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
authenticate and deliver a replacement Bond of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding, provided that the Owner first:

ownership of and the circumstances of the loss, destruction or theft of such Bond;

original Bond, the City and the Paying Agent/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

the gross proceeds of the Bonds that 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

not been relevant to either party.

of the 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 City to retrieve and reproduce such books and records in
the event of an examination of the Bonds by the Internal Revenue Service.

after the issue date of the Bonds unless an appropriate remedial action is permitted by section
1.141-12 of the Regulations, the City takes such action, and a Counsel's Opinion is obtained that
such remedial action cures any failure to meet the requirements of section 141 of the Code.
Section 9.13. Continuing Obligation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the City's obligations under the
covenants and provisions of Sections 9.03 through 9.13, inclusive, shall survive the defeasance
