The City hereby represents that the Outstanding Note was designated (or treated) as a "qualified tax exempt obligation" pursuant to Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The City hereby covenants that it will redeem the Outstanding Note from proceeds of, and within 90 days after issuance of, the Bonds, and represents that all other conditions are met for treating the Bonds 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 City represents and covenants that, during any time or in any manner as might affect the status of the Bonds 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 City further represents that the Bonds 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. Each covenant made in this Section with respect to the Bonds is also made with respect to all issues any portion of the debt service on which is paid from proceeds of the Bonds (and, if different, the original issue and any refunding issues in a series of refundings), to the extent such compliance is necessary to assure exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and the officers identified above are authorized to take actions with respect to those issues as they are authorized in this Section to take with respect to the Bonds. Section 9. Certification and Delivery of Ordinance and Certificate of Award. The Clerk of Council is directed to deliver to the Cuyahoga County Auditor a certified copy of this ordinance and a signed copy of the Certificate of Award as soon as each is available. Section 10. Satisfaction of Conditions for Bond Issuance. This Council determines that all acts and conditions necessary to be performed by the City or to have been met precedent to and in the issuing of the Bonds in order to make them legal, valid and binding general obligations of the City of North Olmsted have been performed and have been met, or will at the time of delivery of the Bonds have been performed and have been met, in regular and due form as required by law; that the full faith and credit and general property taxing power (as described in Section 7) of the City are pledged for the timely payment of the debt charges on the Bonds; and that no statutory or constitutional limitation of indebtedness or taxation will have been exceeded in the issuance of the Bonds.
