<br />together with a true transcript of proceedings with reference to the issuance of
<br />the Notes, to the original purchaser thereof upon payment of the purchase price.
<br />The proceeds from the sale of said Notes, except the accrued interest thereon,
<br />shall be paid into the General Fund as reimbursement for monies which were, and
<br />are hereby determined to have been, advanced from the General Fund to the Capital
<br />Improvement Fund for the purpose for which the Notes are being issued under the
<br />provisions of this ordinance. The proceeds of the Notes also may be used to pay,
<br />and are hereby appropriated to pay, those certain costs of issuance set forth in

<br />other lawfully available moneys of the City, which monies are hereby appropriated
<br />to such purpose; any such costs which are future financing costs may be paid from
<br />the same sources from which the principal of and interest on the Notes are paid,
<br />which monies are hereby appropriated for such purpose. Any accrued interest
<br />shall be paid into the Bond Retirement Fund to be applied to the payment of the
<br />principal and interest of the Notes in the manner provided by law.
<br />
<br /> The City covenants that it will restrict the use of the proceeds of
<br />the Notes in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary so that
<br />the Notes will not constitute arbitrage bonds under Section 148 of the Internal

<br />fiscal officer, or any other officer of the City having responsibility for the
<br />issuance of the Notes shall give an appropriate certificate of the City, for
<br />inclusion in the transcript of proceedings for the Notes, setting forth the
<br />reasonable expectations of the City regarding the amount and use of all the

<br />based, and other facts and circumstances relevant to the tax treatment of
<br />interest on the Notes.~

<br />actions which may be required of it for the interest on the Notes to be and
<br />remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (b) will
<br />not take or permit to be taken any actions which would adversely affect that
<br />exclusion, and that it, or persons acting for it, will, among other acts of
<br />compliance, (i) apply the proceeds of the Notes to t~e governmental purpose of
<br />the borrowing, (ii) restrict the yield on investment property acquired with those
<br />proceeds, (iii) make timely rebate payments to the federal government,
<br />(iv) maintain books and records and make calculations and reports, and
<br />(v) refrain from certain uses of proceeds, all in such manner and to the extent
<br />necessary to assure such exclusion of that interest under the Code. The Director
<br />of Finance and.other appropriate officers are hereby authorized and directed to
<br />take any and all actions, make calculations and rebate payments, and make or give
<br />reports and certifications as may be'appropriate to assure such exclusion of that
<br />interest.

<br />is hereby pledged for such purpose.
<br />

<br />the payment of the Notes at maturity, during the year or years while the Notes
<br />run, there shall be levied on all the taxable property in the City of Lakewood,
<br />in addition to all other taxes, a direct tax annually not less than that which

<br />extended upon the tax duplicate and collected by the same officers, in the same
<br />manner and at the same time that taxes for general purposes of each of said years
