able in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of
federal income taxation In furtherance thereof, the Issuer
covenants as follows
(a) to take any action to assure that no more than
10 percent of the proceeds of the Certificates (less
amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for
any "private business use", as defined in section
141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than 10 percent of the
proceeds are so used, that amounts, whether or not re-
ceived by the Issuer, with respect to such private busi-
ness use, do not, under the terms of this Ordinance or any
underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or
provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the
debt service on the Certificates, in contravention of
section 141(b)(2) of the Code,
(b) to take any action to assure that in the event
that the "private business use" described in subsection
(a) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the
Certificates (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund,
if any) then the amount in excess of 5 percent is used for
a "private business use" which is "related" and not
"disproportionate", within the meaning of section
141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use,
(c) to take any action to assure that no amount
which is greater than the lesser of $5,000,000, or 5
percent of the proceeds of the Certificates (less amounts
deposited into a reserve fund, if any) is directly or
indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than
state or local governmental units, in contravention of
section 141(c) of the Code,
(d) to refrain from taking any action which would
otherwise result in the Certificates being treated as
"private activity bonds" within the meaning of section
141(b) of the Code,
25
(e) to refrain from taking any action that would
result in the Certificates being "federally guaranteed"
within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code,
(f) to refrain from using any portion of the pro-
ceeds of the Certificates, directly or indirectly, to
acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or
indirectly, to acquire investment property (as defined in
section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces a materially
higher yield over the term of the Certificates, other than
investment property acquired with
(1) proceeds of the Certificates invested for a
reasonable temporary period of 3 years or less until
such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which
the Certificates are issued,
(2) amounts invested in a bona fide debt
service fund, within the meaning of section
1 103-13(b)(12) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(3) amounts deposited in any reasonably re-
quired reserve or replacement fund to the extent such
amounts do not exceed 10 percent of the proceeds of
the certificates,
(g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of
the Certificates or amounts treated as proceeds of the
Certificates, as may be necessary, so that the Certifi-
cates do not otherwise contravene the requirements of
section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to
the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relat-
ing to advance refundings),
(h) to pay to the United States of America at least
once during each five-year period (beginning on the date
of delivery of the Certificates) an amount that is at
least equal to 90 percent of the "Excess Earnings", within
the meaning of section 148(f) of the Code and to pay to
the United States of America, not later that 60 days after
the Certificates have been paid in full, 100 percent of
the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess
Earnings under section 148(f) of the Code, and
(i) to maintain such records as will enable the
Issuer to fulfill its responsibilities under this section
and section 148 of the Code and to retain such records for
at least six years following the final payment of princi-
pal and interest on the Certificates
26

contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the
Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U S
Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto In the event that
regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which modify,
or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Certifi-
cates, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any
covenant contained herein to the extent that such modification
or expansion, in the opinion of nationally-recognized bond
counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal
income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of
the Code In the event that regulations or rulings are hereaf-
ter promulgated which impose additional requirements which are
applicable to the Certificates, the Issuer agrees to comply
with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in
the opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel, to preserve
the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the
Certificates under section 103 of the Code
