For purposes of qualifying for the small-issuer exception to the federal arbitrage rebate requirements, the City hereby finds, determines and declares that (1) the Certificate is issued by a governmental unit with general taxing powers, (2) the Certificate is not a private activity bond, (3) ninety-five percent (95%) or more of the net proceeds of the Certificate are to be used for local governmental activities of the City (or of a governmental unit the jurisdiction of which is entirely within the jurisdiction of the City), and (4) the aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by the City (and all entities subordinate to, or treated as one issuer with, the City) during the 2003 calendar year is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000, all within the meaning of Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code. 16. The City hereby designates the Certificate as a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code and further represents that: (a) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other-than private activity bonds, treating qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as not being private activity bonds) which will be issued by the City (and all entities subordinate to, or treated as one issuer with, the City) during calendar year 2003 will not exceed $10,000,000; and (b) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued or to be issued by the City during calendar year 2003 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The City shall use its best efforts to comply with any federal procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designation made by this paragraph. 17. When any obligation of the Certificate has been discharged as provided in this paragraph, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this Resolution to the registered owner of the Certificate (with respect to the obligation thereof so defeased) shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may at any time discharge any or all of such obligation(s) with respect to the Certificate, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing or regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a suitable institution qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on such dates and in such amounts as shall be required and sufficient, subject to sale and/or reinvestment in like securities, to pay said obligation(s), which may include any interest payment on such Certificate and/or principal amount due thereon at a stated maturity (or if irrevocable provision shall have been made for permitted prior redemption of such principal amount, at such earlier redemption date). 18. With respect to the Equipment, the City has complied and will continue to comply with the "Reimbursement Regulations" provided in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.150-2. In particular, except where the following may not be required by said Regulations (e.g., 1511424vl 8
