The Bond Proceeds Fund shall, in accordance with IC 5 -13, be deposited, at interest, with the depository or depositories of other public funds of the City, and all interest collected on it belongs to the fund. Any surplus remaining from the proceeds of the Bonds after all costs and expenses are fully paid shall, in accordance with IC 5 -1 -13, either be paid into and 881981.1 - 19- become a part of the City's bond fund for the Bonds; or, at the direction of the Common Council be used by the City for the same purpose or type of project for which the Bonds were originally issued. Section 7. Covenant to Lever The full faith and credit of the City, together with all of its taxable property, both real and personal, are hereby irrevocably pledged to the punctual payment of the principal of and the interest on the Bonds according to their terms.

Such tax proceeds shall be deposited into a separate bond fund and used to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, when due, together with any fiscal agency charges. ® Section 8. Tax Covenants and Representations In order to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as existing on the date of issuance of the Bonds and the Regulations in effect and applicable to the Bonds on the date of issuance of the Bonds (collectively, "Code ") and as an inducement to purchasers of the Bonds, the Common Council represents, covenants and agrees that: (a) The Project will be available for use by members of the general public. Use by a member of the general public means use by natural persons not engaged in a trade or business. No person or entity other than the City or another state or local governmental unit will use more than 10% of the proceeds of the Bonds or property financed by the Bond proceeds other than as a member of the general public. No person or entity other than the City or another state or local governmental unit will own property financed by Bond proceeds or will have any actual or beneficial use of such 881981.1 -20- property pursuant to a lease, a management or incentive payment contract, arrangements such as take -or -pay or output contracts or any other type of arrangement that conveys other special legal entitlements and differentiates that person's or entity's use of such property from use by the general public, unless such uses in the aggregate relate to no more than 10% of the proceeds of the Bonds. If the City enters into a management contract for the Project, the terms of the contract will comply with IRS Revenue Procedure 97 -13, as it may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time, so that the contract will not give rise to private business use under the Code and the Regulations, unless such use in aggregate relates to no more than 10% of the proceeds of the Bonds. (b) No more than 10% of the principal of or interest on the Bonds is (under the terms of the Bonds, this ordinance or any underlying arrangement), directly or indirectly, secured by an interest in property used or to be used for any private business use or payments in respect of any ® private business use or payments in respect of such property or to be derived from payments (whether or not to the City) in respect of such property or borrowed money used or to be used for a private business use. (c) No more than 5% of the Bond proceeds will be loaned to any person or entity other than another state or local governmental unit. No more than 5% of the Bond proceeds will be transferred, directly or indirectly, or deemed transferred to a nongovemmental person in any manner that would in substance constitute a loan of the Bond proceeds. (d) The City reasonably expects, as of the date hereof, that the Bonds will not meet either the private business use test described in paragraph (a) and (b) above or the private loan test described in paragraph (c) above during the entire term of the Bonds. 881981.1 -21 - (e) No more than 5% of the proceeds of the Bonds will be attributable to private business use as described in (a) and private security or payments described in (b) attributable to unrelated or disproportionate private business use. For this purpose, the private business use test is applied by taking into account only use that is not related to any governmental use of proceeds of the issue (Unrelated Use) and use that is related but disproportionate to any governmental use of those proceeds (Disproportionate Use). (f) The City will not take any action nor fail to take any action with respect to the Bonds that would result in the loss of the exclusion from gross income for federal tax purposes on the Bonds pursuant to Section 103 of the Code, nor will the City act in any other manner which would adversely affect such exclusion. The City covenants and agrees not to enter into any contracts or arrangements which would cause the Bonds to be treated as private activity bonds under Section 141 of the Code. (g) It shall be not an event of default under this ordinance if the interest on any Bond is not excludable from gross income for federal tax purposes or otherwise pursuant to any provision of the Code which is not currently in effect and in existence on the date of issuance of the Bonds. (h) These covenants are based solely on current law in effect and in existence on the date of delivery of such Bonds. (i) The City represents that it will rebate any arbitrage profits to the United States of America in accordance with the Code. 0) The City represents that: (1) The Bonds are not private activity bonds as defined in Section 141 of the a 881981.1 -22- ® (2) The City hereby designates the Bonds as qualified tax - exempt obligations for purposes of Section 265(b) of the Code; (3) The reasonably anticipated amount of qualified tax - exempt obligations (including qualified 501(c)(3) obligations and tax - exempt leases but excluding other private activity bonds) which will be issued by the City, and all entities subordinate to the City during 2001 does not exceed $10,000,000; and (4) The City will not designate more than $10,000,000 of qualified tax- exempt obligations during 2001. Therefore, the Bonds qualify for the exception in the Code from the disallowance of 100% of the deduction by financial institutions of interest expense allocable to newly acquired tax - exempt obligations. ® (k) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this ordinance, the covenants and authorizations contained in this ordinance ( "Tax Sections ") which are designed to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income under federal law ( "Tax Exemption ") need not be complied with if the City receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that compliance with any Tax Section is unnecessary to preserve the Tax Exemption. Section 10. Debt Limit Not Exceeded The City represents and covenants that the Bonds herein authorized, when combined with other outstanding indebtedness of the City, will not exceed any applicable constitutional or statutory limitation on the City's indebtedness. Section 11. Approval by State Board of Tax Commissioners The Bonds shall not be issued and delivered until orders have been obtained from the State Board of Tax Commissioners pursuant to IC 6 -1.1- 18.5 -8 and, if necessary, IC 6- 1.1 -20 -7. 881981.1 -23 - Section 12. Severability If any section, paragraph or provision of this ordinance shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this ordinance. Section 13. Repeal of Conflicting Provisions All ordinances, or parts thereof, in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance, are, to the extent of such conflict, hereby repealed or amended. Section 14. Amendments to Ordinance This ordinance may, from time to time hereafter, be amended without the consent of the mvners of the Bonds, if in the sole discretion of the Common Council, such amendment shall not adversely affect the rights of the owners of any of the Bonds.
