except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity
provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the City or the
Paying Agent /Registrar in connection therewith.

activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Regulations. The City
covenants and agrees that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Notes including interest or
other investment income derived from Note proceeds, regulate the use of property financed,
directly or indirectly, with such proceeds, and take such other and further action as may be

and the Regulations.
(d) Tax Notes are not Hedge Bonds. The City covenants and agrees not to take any
action, or knowingly omit to take any action, and has not knowingly omitted and will not
knowingly omit to take any action, within its control, that, if taken or omitted, respectively,
would cause the Notes to be "hedge bonds" within the meaning of section 149(g) of the Code
and the Regulations.
(e) No Arbitrage. The City shall 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 Notes are delivered, the City will reasonably expect that the proceeds of the Notes
will not be used in a manner that would cause the Notes to be "arbitrage bonds" within the
meaning of section 148(a) of the Code and the Regulations. Moreover, the City covenants and
agrees that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Notes including interest or other
21
#4318196.2
investment income derived from Note proceeds, regulate investments of proceeds of the Notes,
and take such other and further action as may be required so that the Notes will not be "arbitrage
bonds" within the meaning of section 148(a) of the Code and the Regulations.

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 Notes (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 Notes as may be required to calculate the amount earned on the
investment of the gross proceeds of the Notes separately from records of amounts on deposit in
the funds and accounts of the City allocable to other Note issues of the City or moneys which do

the event of an examination of the Notes by the Internal Revenue Service.
(i) Registration. The Notes will be issued in registered form.
