The Mayor, the Director of Finance, the Director of Law, the Clerk of Council and other City officials, as appropriate, are each authorized and directed to sign any transcript certificates, financial statements and other documents and instruments and to take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Ordinance. The Director of Finance is authorized, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the City, to combine the Notes with one or more other note issues of the City into a consolidated note issue pursuant to Section 133.30(B) of the Revised Code. Section 7. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes sufficient, together with other funds of the City, to pay principal of and interest on the Outstanding Note when due shall be paid into the Bond Retirement Fund. Any remaining proceeds of the Notes shall be used to pay the financing costs of the issuance of the Notes or deposited into the Bond Retirement Fund and used to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes when due. Any income earned from the investment of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes shall be deposited into the fund in which such proceeds are deposited (and shall not be transferred to the General Fund). The proceeds from the sale of the Notes and the investment earnings on those proceeds are appropriated for the uses described above. Section 8. The par value to be received from the sale of the Bonds or of any renewal notes and any excess funds resulting from the issuance of the Notes shall, to the extent necessary, be used to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes at maturity and are pledged for that purpose. Section 9. During the year or years in which the Notes are outstanding, there shall be levied on all the taxable property in the City, in addition to all other taxes, the same tax that would have been levied if the Bonds had been issued without the prior issuance of the Notes. The tax shall be within the ten -mill limitation imposed by law, shall be and is 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 purposes for each of those years are certified, levied, extended and collected, and shall be placed before and in preference to all other items and for the full amount thereof. The proceeds of the tax levy shall be placed in the Bond Retirement Fund, which is irrevocably pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes or the Bonds when and as the same fall due. Section 10. The City covenants that it will use, and will restrict the use and investment of, the proceeds of the Notes in such manner and to such extent as may be necessary so that (a) the Notes will not (i) constitute private activity bonds, arbitrage bonds or hedge bonds under Sections 141, 148 or 149 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) or (ii) be treated other than as bonds to which Section 103(a) of the Code applies, and (b) the interest on the Notes will not be treated as an item of tax preference under Section 57 of the Code. The City further covenants that (a) it will take or cause to be taken such actions that may be required of it for the interest on the Notes to be and remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, (b) it will not take or authorize to be taken any actions that would adversely affect that exclusion, and (c) it, or persons acting for it, will, among other acts of compliance, (i) apply the proceeds of the Notes to the governmental purpose of the borrowing, 4
