federal income tax purposes of interest on the 2001 Bonds pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as in effect on the date of the issuance of the 2001 Bonds (the "Code"), including, without limitation, the taking of such action as is necessary to rebate or cause to be rebated arbitrage profits on 2001 Bond proceeds or other monies treated as 2001 Bond proceeds to the federal government as provided in Section 148 of the Code, and will set aside such monies, which may be paid from investment income on funds and accounts, in trust for such purposes. (d) The City will file an information report Form 8038-G with the Internal Revenue Service as required by Section 149 of the Code. (e) The City will not make any investment or do any other act or thing during the period that any 2001 Bond is outstanding hereunder which would cause any 2001 Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the regulations applicable thereto as in effect on the date of delivery of the 2001 Bonds. The City will not take any action or fail to take any action with respect to the 2001 Bonds that would result in the loss of the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the 2001 Bonds pursuant to Section 103 (a) of the Code, and the City will not act in any mariner which would adversely affect such exclusion. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Ordinance, the foregoing covenants and authorizations (the "Tax Covenants") which are designed to preserve the exclusion of interest on the 2001 Bonds from gross income under federal income tax law (the "Tax Exemption") need not be complied with if the City receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that any Tax Covenant is unnecessary to preserve the Tax Exemption.
