Section 9. During the year or years in which the Notes are outstanding, there shall be

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 collected, and shall be placed
before and in preference to all other items and for the full amount thereof. The proceeds
of the tax levy shall be placed in the Bond Retirement Fund, which is irrevocably
pledged for the payment of the debt charges on the Notes or the Bonds when and as the
same fall due. In each year to the extent money from the City's municipal income tax
is available for the payment of the debt charges on the Notes and Bonds and is
appropriated for that purpose, the amount of the tax shall be reduced by the amount of
the money so available and appropriated incompliance with the covenant hereafter set
forth. To the extent necessary, the debt charges on the Notes shall also be paid from
municipal income taxes lawfully available therefor under the constitution and laws of
the State of Ohio; and the City hereby covenants, subject and pursuant to such authority,
including particularly Sections 133.05(B)(7) and 5705.51(A)(5) and (D), Revised Code,
to appropriate annually from such municipal income taxes such amount as is necessary
to meet such annual debt charges. Nothing in this section in any way diminishes the
irrevocable 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 and the Bonds.
Section 10. 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, arbitrage bonds or hedge
bonds under Sections 141, 148 or 149 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (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 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
acquired with those proceeds, (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 Director of Finance, as fiscal officer, or any other officer of the City having
responsibility for issuance of the Notes is hereby authorized (a) to make or effect any
election, selection, designation, choice, consent, approval, or waiver on behalf of the
City with respect to the Notes as the City is permitted to or required to make or give
under the federal income tax laws, including, without limitation thereto, any of the
elections provided for in Section 148(f)(4)(C) of the Code or available under Section
148 of the Code, for the purpose of assuring, enhancing or protecting favorable tax
treatment or status of the Notes or interest thereon or assisting compliance with
requirements for that purpose, reducing the burden or expense of such compliance,
reducing the rebate amount or payments or penalties, or making payments of special
amounts in lieu of making computations to determine, or paying, excess earnings as
rebate, or obviating those amounts or payments, as determined by that officer, which
action shall be in writing and signed by the officer, (b) to take any and all other actions,

To the Council of the City of Dublin, Ohio:
As fiscal officer of the City of Dublin, I certify in connection with your proposed issue of

the issuance of bonds (the Bonds) for the purpose of paying costs of improving the vehicular
'"'~" transportation system in the City by constructing, reconstructing, extending, opening, improving,
widening, grading, draining, curbing and changing the lines of municipal roads, highways, streets,
"'~°'" bridges, sidewalks, bikeways and viaducts, acquiring real estate and interests in real estate therefor,
and providing lighting systems and all other necessary appurtenances (the Improvement), that:
1. The estimated life or period of usefulness of the Improvement is at least five years.
2. The estimated maximum maturity of the Bonds, calculated in accordance with Section

maximum maturity of the Bonds is nineteen 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

maximum maturity of the Bonds.
