The City covenants and agrees not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause (i) the interest on the Certificates to be includable in gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, for federal income tax purposes or (ii) result in the violation of or failure to satisfy any provision of sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code and the applicable Regulations. In particular, the City covenants and agrees to comply with each requirement of this Section 9.03; provided, however, that the City will not be required to comply with any particular requirement of this Section 9.03, if the City has received an opinion of nationally recognized Certificate counsel ("Counsel's Opinion") that (i) such noncompliance will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Certificates or (ii) compliance with some other requirement set forth in this Section 9.03 will satisfy the applicable requirements of the Code and the Regulations, in which case compliance with such other requirement specified in such Counsel's Opinion will constitute compliance with the corresponding requirement specified in this Section 9.03, inclusive. (b) No Private Use or Payment and No Private Loan Financing. The City covenants and agrees that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Certificates, including interest or other investment income derived from Certificate proceeds, regulate the use of property financed, directly or indirectly, with such proceeds, and take such other and further action as may be required so that the Certificates will not be "private activity Certificates" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. Moreover, the City will certify, through an authorized officer, employee or agent, based upon all facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the Certificates are delivered, that the proceeds of the Certificates will not be used in a manner that would cause the Certificates to be "private activity Certificates" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(e) No Arbitrage. The City covenants and agrees that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Certificates, including interest or other investment income derived from Certificate proceeds, regulate investments of proceeds of the Certificates, and take such other and further action as may be required so that the Certificates will not be "arbitrage Certificates" within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code and the applicable Regulations promulgated thereunder. Moreover, the City will certify, through an authorized officer, employee or agent, that, based upon all facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the Certificates are delivered, that the proceeds of the Certificates will not be used in a manner that would cause the Certificates to be "arbitrage Certificates" within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. (f) Arbitrage Rebate. If the City does not qualify for an exception to the requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code, the City will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that certain amounts earned by the City on the investment of the "gross proceeds" of the Certificates (within the meaning of Section 148(f)(6)(B) of the Code), be rebated to the federal government. Specifically, the City will (i) maintain records regarding the investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates as may be required to calculate the amount earned on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of the. City allocable to other Certificate issues of the City or moneys that do not represent gross proceeds of any Certificates of the City, (ii) determine at such times as are required by the applicable Regulations, the amount earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates that is required to be rebated to the federal government, and (iii) pay, not less often than every fifth anniversary date of the delivery of the Certificates, or on such other dates as may be permitted under the Regulations, all amounts required to be rebated to the federal government. Further, the City will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal government by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of the Certificates that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal government because such arrangement results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the arrangement had been at arm's length and had the yield on the issue not been relevant to either party. (g) Information Reporting. The City covenants and agrees to file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury, not later than the 15th day of the second calendar month after the close of the calendar quarter in which the Certificates are issued, an information statement concerning the Certificates, all under and in accordance with Section 149(e) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.

The City will retain all pertinent and material records relating to the use and expenditure of the proceeds of the Certificates until three years after the last Certificate is redeemed, or such shorter period as authorized by subsequent guidance issued by the Department of Treasury, if applicable. All records will be kept in a manner that ensures their -30- #4787013.1 complete access throughout the retention period.

The City will not take a deliberate action (as defined in section 1.141-2(d)(3) of the Regulations) that causes the Certificates to fail to meet any requirement of section 141 of the Code after the issue date of the Certificates unless an appropriate remedial action is permitted by section 1.141-12 of the Regulations and a Counsel's Opinion is obtained that such remedial action cures any failure to meet the requirements of section 141 of the Code. (k) Continuing Obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the City's obligations under the covenants and provisions of this Section 9.03 shall survive the defeasance and discharge of the Certificates for as long as such matters are relevant to the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Certificates for federal income tax purposes.
