(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 IO 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, -27- 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, (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 -28- 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 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(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 (beginning on the date of -29- 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, 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 -30- 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 Obligation under Section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the City hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor, the 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 for 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. CUSTODY,- APPROVAL, AND REGISTRATION OF CERTIFICATES. That the Mayor of the City is hereby authorized to have control of the Certificates initially issued and delivered hereunder and all necessary records and proceedings pertaining to the Certificates pending their delivery and their investigation, examination, and approval by the Attorney General of the State of -31- Texas, and their registration by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas. Upon registration of the Certificates said Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a deputy designated in writing to act for said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate attached to such Certificates, and the seal of said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile, on such certificate. Section 15. DTC REGISTRATION. The Certificates of 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 ("DTC"), New York, New York, initially will act as depository for the Certificates of Obligation. DTC has represented that it is a limited purpose trust company incorporated under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "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 City accepts, but in no way verifies, such representations. The Certificates of Obligation initially authorized by this Ordinance shall be delivered to and registered in the name of CEDE & CO., the nominee of DTC. It is expected that DTC will hold the Certificates of Obligation on behalf of the Purchaser (as defined in Section 17 of this Ordinance) and its participants. So long as each Certificate of Obligation is registered in the name of -32- 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 them, and that the Certificates of Obligation initially deposited with DTC shall be immobilized and not be further exchanged for substitute Certificates of Obligation except as hereinafter 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 -33- 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 that any book-entry system will be maintained for such Certificates of Obligation.
