In each yeaz to the extent the income from municipal income taxes is available for the payment of the debt chazges on the Bonds and is appropriated for that purpose, the amount of the tax shall be reduced by the amount of such income so available and appropriated. Nothing in this Section in any way diminishes the irrevocable pledge of the full faith and credit and revenues of the City to the prompt payment of the debt chazges on the Bonds. Section 8. Federal Tax Considerations. The City covenants that it will use, and will restrict the use and investment of, the proceeds of the Bonds in such manner and to such extent as may be necessary so that (a) the Bonds will not (i) constitute private activity bonds, arbitrage bonds or hedge bonds under Sections 141, 148 or 149 of the Code or (ii) be treated other than as bonds to which Section 103 of the Code applies, and (b) the interest thereon 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 Bonds 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 Bonds 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.

The Bonds are hereby designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In that connection, the City hereby represents and covenants that it, together with all its subordinate entities or entities that issue obligations on its behalf, or on behalf of which it issues obligations, in or during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued, (i) have not issued and will not issue tax-exempt obligations designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, including the Bonds, in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000, and (ii) have not issued, do not reasonably anticipate issuing, and will not issue, tax-exempt obligations (including the Bonds, but excluding obligations, other than qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as defined in Section 145 of the Code, that are private activity bonds as defined in Section 141 of the Code and excluding refunding obligations that are not advance refunding obligations as defined in Section 149(d)(5) of the Code) in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000,000, unless the City first obtains a written opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that such designation or issuance, as applicable, will not adversely affect the status of the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations". Further, the City represents and covenants that, during any time or in any manner as might affect the status of the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations", it has not formed or participated in the formation of, or benefitted from or ava;led itself of, any entity in order to avoid the purposes of subparagraph (C) or (D) of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, and will not form, participate in the formation of, or benefit from or avail itself of, any such entity. The City further represents that the Bonds are not being issued as part of a direct or indirect composite issue that combines issues or lots oftax-exempt obligations of different issuers. Section 9.
