There shall be maintained in the Fund two (2) separate accounts, to be designated the "Con- struction Account" and "Debt Service Account", respectively. (i) Construction Account. To the Construction Account there shall be credited the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, less accrued interest received thereon, and less any amount paid for the Bonds in excess of $4,097,600, plus any special as- sessments levied with respect to the improvements and collected prior to completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof.

(ii) Debt Service Account. There are hereby irrevocably appropriated and _ pledged to, and there shall be credited to, the Debt Service Account: (a) all collections of special assessments herein covenanted to be levied with respect to the Improvements and either initially credited to the Construction Account and not already spent as permitted above and required to pay any principal and interest due on the Bonds or collected subsequent to the completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof; (b) all accrued interest re- ceived upon delivery of the Bonds; (c) all funds paid for the Bonds in excess of $4,097,600; (d) any collections of all taxes herein or hereafter levied for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon; (e) all funds remaining in the Construction Account after completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof, not so transferred to the account of another improvement; (f) all investment earnings on funds held in the Debt Service Account; and (g) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Debt Service Account. The Debt Service Ac- count shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from said account as provided by law. - 10 - 8/4 No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued and (2) in addition to the above in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent (5~) of the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000. To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the Construction Account or Debt Service Account (or any other City account which will be used to pay principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable therefrom) in excess of amounts which under then-applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor Portion" made available under the fed- eral arbitrage regulations. Money in the Fund shall not be invested in obliga- tions or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149 (b) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 16.
