The Village 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, and (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, (ii) restnct the yield on investment property, (iii) make timely and adequate payments to the federal government, (iv) maintain books and records and make calculations and reports, and (v) refrain from certain uses of those proceeds and, as applicable, of property financed with such proceeds, all iri such manner and to the extent necessary to assure such exclusion of that interest under the Code. The Village hereby represents that the $420,000 Various Purpose Improvement Note, dated March 24, 1994, and maturing on March 24, 1995 (the Refunded Obligation) has been designated as a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" pursuant to Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The Village hereby covenants that it will redeem the Refunded Obligation from proceeds of, and within 90 days after issuance of, the Notes, and represents that all other conditions are met for treating the Notes as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" and as not to be taken into account under subparagraph (D) of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, without necessity for further designation, by reason of subparagraph (D)(ii) of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. Further, the Village represents and covenants that, during any time or in any manner as might affect the status of the Notes as "qualified tax-exempt obligations", it has not formed or participated in the formation of, or benefited from or availed itself of, any entity in order to avoid the purposes of subparagraph (C) or (D) of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, and will not form, participate in the formation of, or benefit from or avail itself of, any such entity. The Village further represents that the Notes are not being issued as part of a direct or indirect composite issue that combines issues or lots of tax-exempt obligations of different issuers.
