So long as any of the Refunding Bonds herein authorized are outstanding, none of the facilities or services afforded or rendered by said system shall be furnished without a reasonable and just charge being made therefor.

For purposes of this subsection, the records of the waterworks shall be analyzed and all showings prepared by a certified public accountant employed by the City for that purpose.

C -2s " Sec. 21. Tax Covenants In order to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Refunding Bonds from gross income for federal tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as existing on the date of issuance of the Refunding Bonds (the "Code ") and as an inducement to purchasers of the Refunding Bonds, the City represents, covenants and agrees that: (a) No person or entity other than the City or another state or local governmental unit will use proceeds of the Refunding Bonds or property financed by the Refunding 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 Refunding Bond proceeds or will have any actual or beneficial use of such property pursuant to a lease, management or incentive payment contract, arrangements such as take -or -pay or output contracts or any other type of arrangement that differentiates that person's or entity's use of such property from use by the general public. is (b) No portion of the principal of or interest on the Refunding Bonds is (under the terms of the Refunding 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 Refunding Bond proceeds will be loaned to any person or entity other than another state or local governmental unit. No Refunding Bond proceeds will be transferred, directly or indirectly, or deemed transferred to a nongovernmental person in any manner that would in substance constitute a loan of the Refunding Bond proceeds. (d) The City will not take any action nor fail to take any action with respect to the Refunding Bonds that would result in the loss of the exclusion from gross income for " C -26 " Federal tax purposes on the Refunding Bonds pursuant to Section 103 of the Code, nor will the City act in any other manner which would adversely affect such exclusion. (e) It shall not be an event of default under this ordinance if the interest on any Refunding 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 Refunding Bonds. (f) The City hereby covenants that it will rebate any arbitrage profits to the United States to the extent required by the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. (g) The City represents that: (1) The Refunding Bonds are not private activity bonds as defined in Section 141 of the Code; (2) The City hereby designates the Refunding 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 1991 does not exceed $10,000,000; and (4) The City has not designated and will not designate more than $10,000,000 of qualified tax - exempt obligations during 1991. Therefore, the Refunding 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.
