(1) In order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation of interest on the 1999 Bond, the City covenants to comply with each requirement of the Code. In furtherance of the covenant contained in the preceding sentence, the City agrees to continually comply with the provisions of the Tax Certificate, as such certificate may be amended from time to time, as a source of guidance for achieving compliance with the Code. (2) The City covenants and agrees with the Bondholders that the City shall not take any action or omit to take any action, which action or omission, if reasonably expected on the date of initial issuance and delivery of the 1999 Bond, would cause the 1999 Bond to be a "private activity bonds" or "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Sections 141(a) and 148(a), respectively, of the Code. (3) The City shall make any and all payments required to be made to the United States Department of the Treasury in connection with the 1999 Bond pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code. (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as necessary in order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation of interest on the 1999 Bond, the covenants contained in this Section shall survive the payment of the 1999 Bond and the interest thereon, including any payment or discharge thereof pursuant to Section 3.6 of this Ordinance.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence, the City may deposit the proceeds of the Utilities Tax in a commingled account maintained at the Bank for the City, provided that the City maintains adequate accounting procedures to reflect and control the restricted allocations of the funds on deposit therein for the various purposes of such funds. The designation and establishment of the Debt Service Fund in and by this Ordinance shall not be construed to require the establishment of any completely independent self-balancing fund, as such term is commonly defined and used in governmental accounting, but rather is intended solely to constitute an allocation of certain revenues of the City for certain purposes and to establish certain priorities for application of such revenues as provided herein. The City may withdraw any excess amounts remaining in the Debt Service Fund after payment has been made on the 1999 Bond and the City's outstanding Utilities Tax Revenue Bond, Series 1998 on any Payment Date to be used for any lawful municipal purpose. Moneys on deposit in the Debt Service Fund may be invested in Authorized Investments at the written direction of the City, provided such inyestments mature not later than the 14
