shall not use, permit the use of or omit to use Gross Proceeds of any Tax-Exempt Certificates or
any other amounts (or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be
financed directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds) in a manner which, if made or omitted,
respectively, would cause the interest on such Tax-Exempt Certificates to become includable in
the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of the owner thereof for federal income
tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the City shall have
received a written opinion of counsel nationally recognized in the field of municipal bond law to
the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect the exemption from
federal income tax of the interest on any Tax-Exempt Certificates, the City shall comply with each
of the specific covenants in this Section.
(b) No Private Use or Private Payments. Except as permitted by Section 141 of the
Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall, at all times after the Issue Date of
any Tax-Exempt Certificate and prior to the last stated maturity of the Tax-Exempt Certificates

construction, or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross
Proceeds of such Tax-Exempt Certificates and not use or permit the use of such Gross
Proceeds or any property acquired, constructed, or improved with such Gross Proceeds in
any activity carried on by any person or entity other than a state or local government, unless
such use is solely as a member of the general public, or
(ii) not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other payment for
use of Gross Proceeds of such Tax-Exempt Certificates or any property the acquisition,
construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with such
Gross Proceeds other than taxes of general application and interest earned on investments
acquired with such Gross Proceeds pending application for their intended purposes.
(c) No Private Loan. Except to the extent permitted by Section 141 of the Code and
the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not use Gross Proceeds of such Tax-Exempt
Certificates to make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local government.
For purposes of the foregoing covenant, Gross Proceeds are considered to be "loaned" to a person
or entity if (1) property acquired, constructed or improved with Gross Proceeds is sold or leased
to such person or entity in a transaction which creates a debt for federal income tax purposes, (2)
capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity under a take-or-
pay, output, or similar contract or arrangement, or (3) indirect benefits, or burdens and benefits of
ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or such property are otherwise transferred in a transaction
which is the economic equivalent of a loan.

earlier of the final stated maturity or final payment of such Tax-Exempt Certificates, directly or
indirectly invest Gross Proceeds of such Tax-Exempt Certificates in any Investment (or use such
Gross Proceeds to replace money so invested), if as a result of such investment the Yield of all
Investments allocated to such Gross Proceeds whether then held or previously disposed of, exceeds
the Yield on the Tax-Exempt Certificates.
(e) Not Federallv Guaranteed. Except to the extent permitted by Section 149(b) of the
Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not take or omit to take any action
which would cause the Tax-Exempt Certificates to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of
Section 149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
( fl Information Report. The City shall timely file with the Secretary of the Treasury
the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code with respect to the Tax-Exempt Certificates
on such forms and in such place as such Secretary may prescribe.
(g) Pavment of Rebate Amount. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section
148(� of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall:
(i) account for all Gross Proceeds (including all receipts, expenditures and
investments thereo� on its books of account separately and apart from all other funds (and
receipts, expenditures and investments thereo� and shall retain all records of such
24
4124-7549-0639.1
accounting for at least six years after the final Computation Date. The City may, however,
to the extent permitted by law, commingle Gross Proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Certificates
with other money of the City, provided that the City separately accounts for each receipt
and expenditure of such Gross Proceeds and the obligations acquired therewith,
(ii) calculate the Rebate Amount with respect to the Tax-Exempt Certificates
not less frequently than each Computation Date, in accordance with rules set forth in
Section 148(� of the Code, Section 1.148-3 of the Regulations, and the rulings thereunder.
The City shall maintain a copy of such calculations for at least six years after the final
Computation Date,
(iii) as additional consideration for the purchase of the Tax-Exempt Certificates
by the initial purchaser thereof and the loan of the money represented thereby, and in order
to induce such purchase by measures designed to ensure the excludability of the interest
thereon from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, pay
to the United States the amount described in paragraph (ii) above at the times, in the
installments, to the place, in the manner and accompanied by such forms or other
information as is or may be required by Section 148( fl of the Code and the Regulations
and rulings thereunder, and
(iv) exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the
calculations required by paragraph (ii) and, if such error is made, to discover and promptly
to correct such error within a reasonable amount of time thereafter, including payment to
the United States of any interest and any penalty required by the Regulations.
(h) Not to Divert Arbitra�e Profits. Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not enter into any transaction
that reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to Subsection (h) of this
Section because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted
if the transaction had been at arm's length and had the Yield of the Tax-Exempt Certificates, not
been relevant to either party.
Section 9.04 Disposition of Project. The City covenants that the property financed or
refinanced with the proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Certificates will not be sold or otherwise disposed
in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the City of cash or other compensation, unless the City
obtains an opinion of a nationally-recognized bond counsel substantially to the effect that such
sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Tax-Exempt
Certificates. For purposes of this Section, the portion of the property comprising personal property
and disposed of in the ordinary course of business shall not be treated as a transaction resulting in
the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes of this Section, the City shall not be
obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion of a nationally-recognized bond
counsel to the effect that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for
federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest. '
