<br />finality, accuracy and completeness of those official statements.
<br />Section 7. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes, except any premium and
<br />accrued interest, shall be paid into the proper fund or funds and those proceeds are appropriated
<br />and shall be used for the purpose for which the Notes are being issued. Any portion of those

<br />purpose.
<br />Section 9. During the year or years in which the Notes are outstanding, there shall
<br />be levied on all the taxable property in the City, in addition to all other taxes, the same tax that

<br />preference to all other items and for the full amount thereof. The proceeds of the tax levy shall

<br />debt charges on the Notes or the Bonds when and as the same fall due.
<br />Section 10. The City covenants that it will use, and will restrict the use and
<br />investment of, the proceeds of the Notes in such manner and to such extent as may be necessary
<br />so that (a) the Notes will not (i) constitute private activity bonds, arbitrage bonds or hedge bonds
<br />under Section 141, 148 or 149 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
<br />or (ii) be treated other than as bonds to which Section 103(a) of the Code applies, and (b) the
<br />interest on the Notes will not be treated as an item of tax preference under Section 57 of the
<br />Code.
<br />The City further covenants that (a) it will take or cause to be taken such actions that
<br />may be required of it for the interest on the Notes to be and remain excluded from gross income
<br />for federal income tax purposes, (b) it will not take or authorize to be taken any actions that
<br />would adversely affect that exclusion, and (c) it, or persons acting for it, will, among other acts
<br />of compliance, (i) apply the proceeds of the Notes to the governmental purposes of the
<br />borrowing, (ii) restrict the yield on investment property, (iii) make timely and adequate
<br />payments to the federal government, (iv) maintain books and records and make calculations and
<br />reports, and (v) refrain from certain uses of those proceeds and, as applicable, of property
<br />financed with such proceeds, all in such manner and to the extent necessary to assure such
<br />exclusion of that interest under the Code.
<br />The Director of Finance, as the fiscal officer, or any other officer of the City having
<br />responsibility for issuance of the Notes is hereby authorized (a) to make or effect any election,
<br />selection, designation, choice, consent, approval, or waiver on behalf of the City with respect
<br />to the Notes as the City is permitted or required to make or give under the federal income tax
