all facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the

would cause the Certificates to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of
the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. Moreover, 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,

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

will not be used in a manner that would cause the Certificates to be "arbitrage bonds"within the
meaning of section 148(a) of the Code and the applicable Regulations thereunder. Moreover, 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

amounts earned by the City on the investment of the "gross proceeds" of the Certificates (within
the meaning of section 148(1)(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

proceeds of the Certificates separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds and

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.
Section 9.09. 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,
