(b) The City hereby declares its purpose and intent to provide and levy a tax legally sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Certificates, it having been determined that the existing and available taxing authority of the City for such purpose is adequate to permit a legally sufficient tax. As long as any Certificates remain outstanding, all moneys on deposit in, or credited to, the Debt Service Fund shall be secured by a pledge of security, as provided by law for cities in the State of Texas. (c) In addition, pursuant to the authority of Chapter 1502, Texas Government Code, as amended, the City also hereby pledges the revenues to be derived from the City's water and sewer management system, after the payment of all operation and maintenance expenses thereof (the "Net Revenues"), in an amount not to exceed $1,000, to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Certificates, provided that the pledge of Net Revenues is and shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to the pledge of Net Revenues to the payment of any obligation of the City, whether authorized heretofore or hereafter, which the City designates as having a pledge senior to the pledge of the Net Revenues to the payment of the Certificates. The City also reserves the right to issue, for any lawful purpose at any time, in one or more installments, bonds, certificates of obligation and other obligations of any kind, secured in whole or in part by a pledge of Net Revenues, that may be prior and superior in right to, on a parity with, or junior and subordinate to the pledge of Net Revenues securing the Certificates. (d) To pay the interest coming due on the Certificates prior to receipt of the taxes levied to pay such interest, there is hereby appropriated from current funds on hand, which are hereby certified to be on hand and available for such purpose, an amount sufficient to pay such interest, and such amount shall be used for no other purpose. Section 5.2: Debt Service Fund. The Certificates of Obligation, Series 2007, Debt Service Fund (the "Debt Service Fund") is hereby created as a special fund solely for the benefit of the Certificates. The City shall establish and maintain such fund at an official City depository and shall keep such fund separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of the City. Any amount on deposit in the Debt Service Fund shall be maintained by the City in trust for the Registered Owners of the Certificates. Such amount, plus any other amounts deposited by the City into such fund and any and all investment earnings on amounts on deposit in such fund, shall be used only to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates. Section 5.3: Further Proceedings. After the Certificates to be initially issued have been executed, it shall be the duty of the Mayor to deliver the Certificates to be initially issued and all pertinent records and proceedings to the Attorney General for examination and approval. After the Certificates to be initially issued shall have been approved by the Attorney General, they shall be delivered to the Comptroller for registration. Upon registration of the Certificates to be initially issued, the Comptroller (or a deputy lawfully designated in writing to act for the Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's registration certificate prescribed herein to be affixed or attached to the Certificates to be initially issued, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile, thereon. 11 HOU:2690632.2
