<br />"qualified tax-exempt obligations" pursuant to Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
<br />The City hereby covenants that it will redeem the 1991 Notes from proceeds of,
<br />and within 90 days after issuance of, the Notes, and represents that all other
<br />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
<br />Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, without necessity for further designation, by
<br />reason of subparagraph (D)(ii) of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. Further, the

<br />affect the status of the Notes as "qualified tax-exempt obligations", it has

<br />indirect composite issue that combines issues or lots of tax-exempt
<br />obligations of different issuers.

<br />made with respect to all issues any portion of the debt service on which is
<br />paid from proceeds of the Notes (and, if different, the original issue and any
<br />refunding issues in a series of refundings), to the extent such compliance is
<br />necessary to assure exclusion of interest on the Notes from gross income for
<br />federal income tax purposes, and the officers identi.fied above are authorized
<br />to take actions with respect to those issues as they are authorized in this
<br />section to take with respect to the Notes.
<br />Section 11. The Clerk of Council is directed to deliver a certified
<br />copy of this ordinance to the County Auditor.
