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 ten percent of the proceeds

provide for the payment of more than ten percent of the debt service on the Bonds, in contravention of
section 141(b)(2)of the Code;
(b) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described in
subsection (a) hereof exceeds five percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the projects financed therewith

within the meaning of section 149(b)of the Code;

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-
(1) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period of three 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,
(2) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of section
1 148-1(b)of the Treasury Regulations,and
(3) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund to the
extent such amounts do not exceed ten percent of the proceeds of the Bonds,
(g) 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 refundings),and
(h) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period

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.
For purposes of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer understands that the term "proceeds" included
"disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of a refunding bond, transferred
proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds expended prior to the date of the issuance of the Bonds. It is
the understanding of the Issuer 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 Issuer 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
Issuer agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally-recog-
nized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section
103 of the Code. In furtherance of the foregoing,the Mayor,the City Manager,any Assistant City Manager,and the
Director of Finance may execute any certificates or other 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. In order to facilitate compliance with the above clause (h), a "Rebate Fund" is hereby established by the
City for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such Rebate Fund shall not be subject to the claim of
any other person, including without limitation the registered owners of the Bonds. The Rebate Fund is established
for the additional purpose of compliance with section 148 of the Code.

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,whose qualifications are substantially similar to the previous Paying
