The Director of Finance and other appropriate officers are hereby authorized and directed to take any and all actions, make calculations and rebate payments, and make or give reports and certifications as may be appropriate to assure such exclusion of that interest. Section 6. The Notes are hereby designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In that connection, the City hereby covenants that the City, it having no "subordinate entities" with authority to issue obligations within the meaning of that Section of the Code, in or during the calendar year in which the Notes are issued, (i) will not designate as "qualified tax- exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code tax- exempt obligations, including the Notes, in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $10,000,000, and (ii) will not issue tax-exempt obligations within the meaning of Section 265(b)(4) of the Code, includ- ing the Notes and any qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as defined in Sec- tion 145 of the Code (but excluding obligations, other than qualified 501(c)(3) bonds, that are private activity bonds as defined in Sec- tion 141 of the Code), in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $10,000,000, unless the City receives an opinion of nationally recog- nized bond counsel that such designation or issuance, as applicable, will not cause the Notes to cease to be "qualified tax-exempt obliga- tions.'' Section 7. The Notes shall be the full general obligations of the City of Lakewood and the full faith, credit and revenue of said City are hereby pledged for the prompt payment of the same. The par value to be received from the sale of the bonds anticipated by the Notes and any excess funds resulting from the issuance of the Notes shall, to the extent necessary, be used only for the retirement of the Notes at matur- ity, together with the interest thereon, and is hereby pledged for such purpose. Section 8. In the event bonds are not issued to provide a fund for the payment of the Notes at maturity, during the year or years while the Notes run, there shall be levied on all the taxable property in the City of Lakewood, in addition to all other taxes, a direct tax annually not less than that which would have been levied if bonds had been issued without the prior issue of the Notes. Said tax shall be and is hereby ordered computed, certified, levied and extended upon the tax duplicate and collected by the same officers, in the same manner and at the same time that taxes for general pul~poses of each of said years are certified, extended and collected. Said tax shall be placed before and in preference to all items and for the full amount thereof. The funds derived from said tax levies hereby required shall be placed in a separate and distinct fund which, togetlher with the interest collected on the same shall be irrevocably pledged for the payment of the princi- pal of and interest on the Notes or the bonds in anticipation of which they are issued, when and as the same falls due; provided, however, that in each year to the extent that revenues are available from other sources for the payment of the Notes and bonds and are appropriated for such purpose, the amount of such direct tax upon all of the taxable property in the City shall be reduced by the amount of such revenues so available and appropriated. -3-
