Section 5.

The Council represents and certifies that : (1) the said City has heretofore incurred a substan- tial binding obligation with respect to said facilities; said binding obligation comprising contracts for materials and for the construction of the improvements in the amount of not less than 2-1/2% of the estimated total cost of said facilities; (2) the City Council expects that over 85% of the spend- able proceeds of said bonds (including investment proceeds) will be expended on or before January 1, 1975, for the purpose of paying the cost of said facilities, said date being within three years following the date of issue of said bonds; -6- (3) work on the said facilities has proceeded and is expected to proceed with due diligence to completion; (4) said facilities have not been and are not expected to be sold or otherwise disposed of in whole or in part prior to the last maturity of said bonds; (5) all of the principal proceeds of the bonds are needed for the purpose stated in the form of bond above set out, including expenses incidental to such purpose and to the issu- ance of the bonds; and (6) to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Council there are no facts, estimates or circumstances that would materially change the conclusions and representations set out in this section.

The Council reserves the right, however, to make any investment of such moneys permitted by state law if, when and to the extent that said Section 103(d) or regulations promulgated thereunder shall be repealed or relaxed or shall be held void by final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, but only if any investment made by -7- virtue of such repeal, relaxation or decision would not, in the opinion of counsel of recognized competence in such matters, result in making the interest on said bonds subject to federal income taxation.
