all amounts required to be rebated to the federal government. Further,the City will not indirectly <br /> pay any amount otherwise payable to the federal government pursuant to the foregoing <br /> requirements to any person other than the federal government by entering into any investment <br /> arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of the Schedule that might result in a reduction in <br /> the amount required to be paid to the federal government because such arrangement results in a <br /> smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the arrangement had been at arm's- <br /> length and had the yield on the issue not been relevant to either party. <br /> 15. Not an Abusive Transaction. <br /> (a) General. No action taken in connection with the issuance of the Schedule will <br /> enable the City to (i) exploit, other than during an allowable temporary period, the difference <br /> between tax-exempt and taxable interest rates to obtain a material financial advantage(including <br /> as a result of an investment of any portion of the gross proceeds of the Schedule over any period <br /> of time, notwithstanding that, in the aggregate, the gross proceeds of the Schedule are not <br /> invested in higher yielding investments over the term of the Schedule), and (ii) issue more <br /> Schedule, issue Schedule earlier, or allow Schedule to remain outstanding longer than is <br /> otherwise reasonably necessary to accomplish the governmental purposes of the Schedule. To <br /> the best of our knowledge, no actions have been taken in connection with the issuance of the <br /> Schedule other than actions that would have been taken to accomplish the governmental <br /> purposes of the Schedule if the interest on the Schedule were not excludable from gross income <br /> for federal income tax purposes (assuming the hypothetical taxable interest rate would be the <br /> same as the actual tax-exempt interest rate on the Schedule). <br /> (b) No Sinking Fund. No portion of the Schedule has a term that has been lengthened <br /> primarily for the purpose of creating a sinking fund or similar fund with respect to the Schedule. <br /> (c) No Window. No portion of the Schedule has been structured with maturity dates <br /> the primary purpose of which is to make available released revenues that will enable the City to <br /> avoid transferred proceeds or to make available revenues that may be invested to be ultimately <br /> used to pay debt service on another issue of obligations. <br /> 16. No Arbitrage. On the basis of the foregoing facts, estimates and circumstances, it <br /> is expected that the gross proceeds of the Schedule will not be used in a manner that would cause <br /> any of the Schedule to be an "arbitrage bond"within the meaning of section 148 of the Code and <br /> the Regulations. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, there are no other <br /> facts,estimates or circumstances that would materially change such expectations. <br /> 17. No Private Use,Payments or Loan Financing. <br /> (a) General. The City reasonably expects, as of the date hereof, that no action or <br /> event during the entire stated term of the Schedule will cause either the "private business tests" <br /> or the "private loan financing test," as such terms are defined in the Regulations, to be met. <br /> Speci fically, <br /> (i) No portion of the proceeds of the Schedule will be used in a trade or <br /> business of a nongovernmental person. For purposes of determining use, the City will <br /> apply rules set forth in applicable Regulations and Revenue Procedures promulgated by <br /> -5- <br />
