The City may, however, to the extent permitted by section 148(f) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, commingle Gross Proceeds of the Bonds with other money of the City, provided that the 0042639 -28- City separately accounts for each receipt and expenditure of such Gross Proceeds and the obligations acquired therewith.

The Bonds are being issued exclusively to refund the Refunded Bonds, and the Bonds will be issued more than 90 days before the redemption of the Refunded Bonds. The City represents that: (1) None of the Refunded Bonds are "private activity bonds," within the meaning of section 141 of the Code. Specifically, the covenants set forth in subsection (c) and (d) of this Section are true, 0042639 -29- correct, and complete with respect to the Refunded Bonds, their proceeds, and the facilities financed therewith. (2) The Bonds are the first advance refunding (within the meaning of section 149(d)(5) of the Code) of the Refunded Bonds. (3) The Refunded Bonds are being called for redemption, and will be redeemed, not later than the earliest date on which each such issue may be redeemed at par or at a premium of 3 percent or less. (4) The initial temporary period under section 148(c) of the Code will end (i) with respect to the proceeds of the Bonds not later than 30 days after the date of issue of such Bonds and (ii) with respect to proceeds of the Refunded Bonds on the date of issuance of the Bonds if not ended prior thereto. (5) Section 148(e) of the Code did not apply to the Refunded Bonds. On and after the date of issue of the Bonds no proceeds of the Refunded Bonds will be invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a Yield in excess of the Yield on the Refunded Bonds to which any of such proceeds relate. (6) The debt service savings achieved by the City are a result solely of the interest rates on the Bonds being lower than the interest rates of the Refunded Bonds. In the issuance of the Bonds the City has employed no "device" to obtain a material financial advantage (based on arbitrage), within the meaning of section 149(d)(4) of the Code, apart from savings attributable to lower interest rates.
