24 Federal Income Tax Exclusion.
The City intends that the interest on the Bonds shall be excludable from gross income of
the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 through
150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") and all applicable
temporary, proposed and final regulations (the "Regulations") and procedures promulgated
thereunder and applicable to the Bonds. For this purpose, the City covenants that it will monitor
and control the receipt, investment, expenditure and use of all gross proceeds of the Bonds
(including all property, the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed
directly or indirectly with the proceeds of the Bonds) and take or omit to take such other and
further actions as may be required by Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code and the
Regulations to cause the interest on the Bonds to be and remain excludable from the gross
income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of the owners of the Bonds for federal income tax
purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the City shall comply with each of
the following covenants.
(a) The City shall not use, permit the use of or omit to use Gross Proceeds 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 any Bond 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
- 18 -
4160-8387-8966.2
that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect the exemption from federal
income tax of the interest on any Bond, the City shall comply with each of the specific covenants
in this Section.
(b) Except as permitted by Section 141 of the Code and the regulations and rulings
thereunder, the City shall, at all times prior to the last stated maturity of the Bonds,
(1) exclusively own, operate, and possess all property the acquisition,
construction, or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross
Proceeds of such series of the Bonds 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
(2) not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other payment for
use of Gross Proceeds of such series of the Bonds 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) 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 the Bonds 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, (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.
(d) Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of the Code and the regulations and
rulings thereunder, the City shall not, at any time prior to the earlier of the final stated maturity
or final payment of the Bonds, directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds of such Bonds 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 Bonds.
(e) Based on all of the facts and estimates now known or reasonably expected to be in
existence on the date the Bonds are delivered, the City reasonably expects that the proceeds of
the Bonds (to the extent any of such proceeds remain unexpended) will not be used in a manner
that would cause the Bonds or any portion thereof to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of
Section 148 of the Code.
(f) At all times while the Bonds are outstanding, the City will identify and properly
account for all amounts constituting gross proceeds of the Bonds in accordance with the
Regulations. The City will monitor the yield on the investments of the proceeds of the Bonds
and, to the extent required by the Code and the Regulations, will restrict the yield on such
- 19 -
4160-8387-8966.2
investments to a yield which is not materially higher than the yield on the Bonds To the extent
necessary to prevent the Bonds from constituting "arbitrage bonds," the City will make such
payments as are necessary to cause the yield on all yield restricted nonpurpose investments
allocable to the Bonds to be less than the yield that is materially higher than the yield on the
Bonds.
(g) The City will not take any action or knowingly omit to take any action, if taken or
omitted, would cause the Bonds to be treated as "federally guaranteed" obligations for purposes
of Section 149(b) of the Code.
(h) The City represents that not more than fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds of the
Bonds will be invested in nonpurpose investments (as defined in Section 148(f)(b)(A) of the
Code) having a substantially guaranteed yield for four years or more within the meaning of
Section 149(g)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code, and the City reasonably expects that at least eighty-five
percent (85%) of the spendable proceeds of the Bonds would be used to carry out the
governmental purpose of such Bonds within the three-year period beginning date of issue of the
Bonds.
(i) The City will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that certain
amounts earned by the City on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds, if any, be
rebated to the federal government. Specifically, the City will (i) maintain records regarding the
receipt, investment and expenditure of the gross proceeds of the Bonds as may be required to
calculate such excess arbitrage profits separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds
and accounts of the City allocable to other obligations of the City or moneys which do not
represent gross proceeds of any obligations of the City and retain such records for at least six
years after the day on which the last outstanding Bond is discharged, (ii) account for all gross
proceeds under a reasonable, consistently applied method of accounting, not employed as an
artifice or device to avoid, in whole or in part, the requirements of Section 148 of the Code,
including any specified method of accounting required by applicable Regulations to be used for
all or a portion of the gross proceeds, (iii) calculate, at such times as are required by applicable
Regulations, the amount of excess arbitrage profits, if any, earned from the investment of the
gross proceeds of the Bonds and (iv) timely pay, as required by applicable Regulations, all
amounts required to be rebated to the federal government. In addition, the City will exercise
reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the calculations required by the
preceding sentence and, if such an error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error
within a reasonable amount of time thereafter, including payment to the federal government of
any delinquent amounts owed to it, including interest thereon and penalty
(j) The City will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the federal
government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal
government by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of
the Bonds that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal
government because such arrangement results in smaller profit or a larger loss than would have
resulted if such arrangement had been at arm's length and had the yield on the issue not been
relevant to either party
- 20 -
4160-8387-8966.2
(k) The City will timely file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury of
the United States the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code with respect to the
Bonds on such form and in such place as the Secretary may prescribe.
(1) The City will not issue or use the Bonds as part of an "abusive arbitrage device"
(as defined in Section 1 148 10(a) of the Regulations) Without limiting the foregoing, the
Bonds are not and will not be a part of a transaction or series of transactions that attempts to
circumvent the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations, by (i) enabling the
City to exploit the difference between tax exempt and taxable interest rates to gain a material
financial advantage, or (ii) increasing the burden on the market for tax-exempt obligations.
(m) Proper officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds
are hereby directed to make, execute and deliver certifications as to facts, estimates or
circumstances in existence as of the Issue Date and stating whether there are facts, estimates or
circumstances that would materially change the City's expectations. On or after the Issue Date,
the City will take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to assure the continuous accuracy
of the representations contained in such certificates.
(n) The covenants and representations made or required by this Section are for the
benefit of the Bond holders and any subsequent Bond holder, and may be relied upon by the
Bond holder and any subsequent Bond holder and bond counsel to the City
In complying with the foregoing covenants, the City may rely upon an unqualified
opimon issued to the City by nationally recognized bond counsel that any action by the City or
reliance upon any interpretation of the Code or Regulations contained in such opinion will not
cause interest on the Bonds to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes
under existing law
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the City's representations and
obligations under the covenants and provisions of this Section 7.5 shall survive the defeasance
and discharge of the Bonds for as long as such matters are relevant to the exclusion of interest on
the Bonds from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes.
25 Use of Proceeds. Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds shall, promptly upon
receipt by the City,be applied as follows.
(a) Accrued interest in the amount of $ 7 and, if necessary, net premium on the
