by the same officers, in the same manner, and at the same time that taxes for
general purposes for each of those years are certified, levied, extended and

City; and the City hereby covenants, subject and pursuant to such authority,
including particularly Section 133.05(B)(7) of the Ohio Revised Code, to
appropriate annually from such municipal income taxes such amount as Is

pledge of the full faith and credit and general property taxing power of the City
to the prompt payment of the debt charges on the Notes or the Bonds.
Section 11. Federal Tax Considerations. The City covenants that it will use,
and will restrict the use and investment of, the proceeds of the Notes in such
manner and to such extent as may be necessary so that (a) the Notes will not
(i) constitute private activity bonds or arbitrage bonds under Sections 141 or
148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or (ii) be
treated other than as bonds the interest on which is excluded from gross income
under Section 103 of the Code, and (b) the interest on the Notes will not be an
item of tax preference under Section 57 of the Code.
The City further covenants that (a) it will take or cause to be taken such actions
that may be required of it for the interest on the Notes to be and remain
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, (b) it will not take
or authorize to be taken any actions that would adversely affect that exclusion,
and (c) it, or persons acting for it, will, among other acts of compliance, (i) apply
the proceeds of the Notes to the governmental purpose of the borrowing,
(ii) restrict the yield on investment property, (iii) make timely and adequate
payments to the federal government, (iv) maintain books and records and make
calculations and reports and (v) refrain from certain uses of those proceeds,
and, as applicable, of property financed with such proceeds, all in such manner
and to the extent necessary to assure such exclusion of that interest under the
Code.

FISCAL OFFICER’S CERTIFICATE
To the City Council of the City of Dublin, Ohio:
As fiscal officer of the City of Dublin, Ohio, I certify in connection with your proposed
issue of notes in the maximum principal amount of $12,705,000 (the “Nofes”), to be issued in
anticipation of the issuance of bonds (the “Bonds”), for the purpose of paying the costs of
improving the municipal recreational facilities by constructing, renovating and equipping various
structures and athletic fields and courts, constructing various site improvements thereto, providing
parking facilities, and acquiring real property and interests therein in connection therewith,
together with all necessary and related appurtenances thereto (the “Jmprovement”), that:
1 The estimated life or period of usefulness of the Improvement is at least five (5)
years.
2. The estimated maximum maturity of the Bonds, calculated in accordance with
Section 133.20 of the Revised Code, is at least twenty (20) years, this being my estimate of the life
or period of usefulness of the Improvement. If and to the extent a portion of the proceeds of the
Bonds may be determined to be allocated to a class or classes having a maximum maturity of less
than twenty (20) years but in excess of five years, then the maximum maturity of the Bonds would
still be at least twenty (20) years by reason of a sufficient portion of the proceeds of the Bonds
allocated to a class or classes having a maximum maturity or an estimated period of usefulness in
excess of twenty (20) years. If notes in anticipation of the Bonds are outstanding later than the
last day of December of the fifth year following the year of issuance of the original issue of notes,
the period in excess of those five years shall be deducted from that maximum maturity of the
Bonds.
3: The maximum maturity of the Notes is two hundred forty (240) months.
