Section 13 FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS That the City
covenants to refrain from any action which would adversely
-26-
affect, or to take such action as to ensure, the treatment of the
Certificates of Obligation as obligations described in Section
103 of the Code, the interest on which is not includable in the
"gross income" of the holder for purposes of federal income taxa-
tion. In furtherance thereof, the City covenants as follows
(a) to take any action to assure that no more than 10
percent of the proceeds of the Certificates of Obligation
(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 10 percent of the
proceeds are so used, that amounts, whether or not received
by the City, with respect to such private business use, do
not, under the terms of this Ordinance or any underlying
arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for
the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service on
the Certificates of Obligation, 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 5 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates
of Obligation (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund,
if any) then the amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a
"private business use" which is "related" and not
"disproportionate", within the meaning of Section 141(b)(3)
of the Code, to the governmental use,
-27-
(c) to take any action to assure that no amount which
is greater than the lesser of $5,000,000, or five percent of
the proceeds of the Certificates of Obligation (less amounts
deposited into a reserve fund, if any) is directly or
indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than
state or local governmental units, in contravention of
Section 141 (c) of the Code,
(d) to refrain from taking any action which would
otherwise result in the Certificates of Obligation being
treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of
Section 141 (b) of the Code,
(e) to refrain from taking any action that would
result in the Certificates of Obligation being "federally
guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b} of the
Code,
(f) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds
of the Certificates of Obligation, directly or indirectly,
to acquire 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 Certificates of
Obligation, other than investment property acquired with --
(1) proceeds of the Certificates of Obligation
invested for a reasonable temporary period of three
years or less or, in the case of a refunding bond, for
-28-
a period of 30 days or less until such proceeds are
needed for the purpose for which the certificates of
obligation 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 10 percent of the proceeds of the
Certificates of Obligation;
(g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of
the Certificates of Obligation or amounts treated as
proceeds of the Certificates of Obligation, as may be
necessary, so that the Certificates of Obligation do not
otherwise contravene the requirements of Section 148 of the
Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent applicable,
Section 149(4) 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 (beginning on the date of
delivery of the Certificates of Obligation) an amount that
is at least equal to 90 percent of the "Excess Earnings,"
within the meaning of Section 148 (f) of the Code and to pay
to the United States of America, not later than 60 days
after the Certificates of Obligation have been paid in full,
-29-
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 (a) and (b), the Issuer understands
that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds" as
defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of refunding
bonds, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded
bonds expended prior to the date of issuance of the Certificates
of Obligation It is the understanding of the City 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 ruling are hereafter promulgated which modify or
expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Certificates
of Obligation, the City 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 Certificates of Obligation 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 Certificates of
Obligation, the City agrees to comply with the additional
requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of
nationally-recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption
from federal income taxation of interest on the Certificates of
-30-
E.
Obligation under Section 103 of the Code In furtherance of such
intention, the City hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor, the
City Manager, any Assistant City Manager, and the Director of
Fiscal Services to execute any documents, certificates or 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 far the issuance of the Certificates of Obligation
In order to facilitate compliance with clause (h) above, a
"Rebate Fund" is hereby established by the City for the sole
benefit of the United States of America, and such Fund shall not
be subject to the claim of any other person, including without
limitation the bondholders The Rebate Fund is established for
the additional purpose of compliance with Section 148 of the
Code.
Section 14. ALLOCATION OF, AND LIMITATION ON, EXPENDITURES
FOR THE PROJECT That the Issuer covenants to account for the
expenditure of proceeds from the sale of the Certificates and any
investment earnings thereon to be used for the purposes described
in Section 1 of this Ordinance (such purpose referred to herein
and Section 15 hereof as a "Project") on its books and records by
allocating proceeds to expenditures within 18 months of the later
of the date that (a) the expenditure on a Project is made or (b)
such Project is completed The foregoing notwithstanding, the
Issuer shall not expend such proceeds or investment earnings more
than 60 days after the later of (a} the fifth anniversary of the
-31-
date of delivery of the Certificates or (b) the date the
Certificates are retired, unless the Issuer obtains an opinion of
nationally-recognized bond counsel substantially to the effect
that such expenditure will not adversely affect the tax-exempt
status of the Certificates.
Section 15 DISPOSITION OF PROJECT That the Issuer
covenants that the property constituting a Project will not be
sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the
receipt by the Issuer of cash or other compensation, unless the

substantially to the effect that such sale or other disposition
will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the
Certificates.

CERTIFICATES That the Mayor of the City is hereby authorized to

Obligation initially shall be issued and delivered in such manner
that no physical distribution of the Certificates of Obligation
will be made to the public, and The Depository Trust Company

limited purpose trust company incorporated under the laws of the

"clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered under Section
17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the

shall be delivered to and registered in the name of CEDE & CO ,
the nominee of DTC. It is expected that DTC will hold the

as each Certificate of Obligation is registered in the name of
CEDE & CO the Paying Agent/Registrar shall treat and deal with
DTC the same in all respects as if it were the actual and
beneficial owner thereof. It is expected that DTC will maintain
a book-entry system which will identify ownership of the
Certificates of Obligation in integral amounts of $5,000, with

transfers of ownership being effected on the records of DTC and
its participants pursuant to rules and regulations established by

provided. The City is not responsible or liable for any
functions of DTC, will not be responsible for paying any fees or
charges with respect to its services, will not be responsible or
liable for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing the records of
DTC or its participants, or protecting any interests or rights of
the beneficial owners of the Certificates of Obligation It
shall be the duty of the DTC Participants, as defined in the
Official Statement herein approved, to make all arrangements with
DTC to establish this book-entry system, the beneficial ownership
of the Certificates of Obligation, and the method of paying the
fees and charges of DTC. The City does not represent, nor does
it in any way covenant that the initial book-entry system
established with DTC will be maintained in the future.
Notwithstanding the initial establishment of the foregoing book-
entry system with DTC, if for any reason any of the originally
delivered Certificates of Obligation is duly filed with the
Paying Agent/Registrar with proper request for transfer and
substitution, as provided for in this Ordinance, substitute
Certificates of Obligation will be duly delivered as provided in
this Ordinance, and there will be no assurance or representation
-34-
that any book-entry system will be maintained for such
Certificates of Obligation
