A special Interest and Sinking Fund (the "Interest and Sinking Fund") is hereby created solely for the benefit of the Bonds, and the Interest and Sinking Fund shall be established and maintained by the City at an official depository bank of the City. The Interest and Sinking Fund shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of the City, and shall be used only for paying the interest on and principal of the Bonds. All ad valorem taxes levied and collected for and on account of the Bonds shall be deposited, as collected, to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund. During each year while any of the Bonds or interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid, the Council shall compute and ascertain a rate and amount of ad valorem tax which will be sufficient to raise and produce the money required to pay the interest on the Bonds as such interest comes due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the principal of its Bonds as such principal matures (but never less than 2% of the original principal amount of said Bonds as a sinking fund each year); and said tax shall be based on the latest approved tax rolls of the City, with full allowance being made for tax delinquencies and the cost of tax collection. Said rate and amount of ad valorem tax is hereby levied, and is hereby ordered to be levied, against all taxable property in the City for each year while any of the Bonds or interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid; and said tax shall be assessed and collected each such year and deposited to the credit of the aforesaid Interest and Sinking Fund. Said ad valorem taxes sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest on and principal of the Bonds, as such interest comes due and such principal matures, are hereby pledged for such payment, within the limit prescribed by law. Section 6. DISPOSITION OF BOND PROCEEDS. The proceeds of the Bonds shall be placed into the Interest and Sinking Fund and the Construction Fund of the City as follows: (a) Interest and Sinking Fund. An amount equal to the accrued interest on the Bonds from the date of the Bonds to the date of delivery to the Initial Purchaser shall be deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund. (b) Construction Fund. The proceeds of the Bonds remaining after the above described deposit into the Interest and Sinking Fund shall be placed in the Construction Fund (hereby created) to be used by the City for the purposes described in this Ordinance. Section 7. REMEDIES OF OWNERS. In addition to all rights and remedies of any Owner of the Bonds provided by the laws of the State of Texas, the City and the Council covenant and agree that in the event the City defaults in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Bonds when due, fails to make the payments required by this Ordinance to be made into the Interest and Sinking Fund, or defaults in the observance or performance of any of the covenants, conditions, or obligations set forth in this Ordinance, the owner of any of the Bonds shall be entitled to a writ of mandamus issued by a court of proper jurisdiction compelling and requiring the Council and other officers of the City to observe and perform any covenant, obligation, or condition prescribed in this Ordinance. No delay or omission by any owner to exercise any right or power accruing to such owner upon 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 or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. The specific remedies mentioned in this Ordinance shall be available to any owner of any of the Bonds and shall be cumulative of all other existing remedies. Section 8. DEFEASANCE OF BONDS.
