Section 7. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes, except any premium and accrued interest,
<br />shall be paid into the proper fund or funds and those proceeds are appropriated and shall be used for
<br />the purpose for which the Notes are being issued. The expenditure of those proceeds for the purpose
<br />set forth in Section l, including, without limitation, for financing costs as defined in Section 133.01
<br />of the Revised Code, is hereby authorized and approved. Any portion of those proceeds representing
<br />premiutn and accrued interest shall be paid into the Bond Retirement Fund.
<br />Section 8. The par value to be received from the sale of the Bonds or of any renewal notes
<br />and any excess funds resulting from the issuance of the Notes shall, to the extent necessary, be used
<br />to pay the debt charges on the Notes at maturity and are pledged for that purpose.
<br />Section 9. During the year or years in which the Notes are outstanding, there shall be levied
<br />on all the taxable property in the City, in addition to all other taxes, the same tax that would have
<br />been levied if the Bonds had been issued without the prior issuance of the Notes. The tax shall be
<br />within the 11.1-mill limitation provided by the Charter of the City, shall be and is ordered computed,
<br />certified, levied and 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 for each of those years are certified,
<br />levied, extended and collected, and shall be placed before and in preference to all other items and for
<br />the full amount thereof. The proceeds of the tax levy shall be placed in the Bond Retirement Fund,
<br />which is irrevocably pledged for the payment of the debt charges on the Notes or the Bonds when and
<br />as the same fall due.
<br />Section 10. The City covenants that it will use, and will restrict the use and investment of, the
<br />proceeds of the Notes in such manner and to such extent as may be necessary so that (a) the Notes
<br />will not (i) constitute private activity bonds, arbitrage bonds or hedge bonds under Section 141, 148
<br />ar 149 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), or (ii) be treated other than as
<br />bonds to which Section 103(a) of the Code applies, and (b) the interest on the Notes will not be an
<br />item of tax preference under Section 57 of the Code.
<br />The City further covenants that (a) it will take or cause to be taken such actions that may be
<br />required of it for the interest on the Notes to be and remain excluded from gross income for federal
<br />income tax purposes, (b) it will not take or authorize to be taken any actions that would adversely
<br />affect that exclusion, and (c) it, or persons acting for it, will, among other acts of compliance, (i)
<br />apply the proceeds of the Notes to the governmental purposes of the borrowing, (ii) restrict the yield
<br />on investment property, (iii) make timely and adequate payments to the federal government, (iv)
<br />maintain books and records and make calculations and reports, and (v) refrain from certain uses of
<br />those proceeds and, as applicable, of properiy financed with such proceeds, all in such manner and to
<br />the extent necessary to assure such exclusion of that interest under the Code.
<br />The City hereby represents that the Outstanding Notes are treated as "qualified tax-exempt
<br />obligations" pursuant to Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The City hereby covenants that it will
<br />redeem the Outstanding Notes from proceeds of, and within 90 days after issuance of, the Notes, and
<br />represents that all other conditions are met for treating the Notes as "qualified tax-exempt
<br />obligations" and as not to be taken into account under subparagraph (D) of Section 265(b)(3) of the
<br />Code, without necessity for further designation, by reason of subparagraph (D)(ii) of Section
<br />265(b)(3) of the Code. Further, the City represents and covenants that, during any time or in any
