Section 9. 2. ARBITRAGE. During the term of the bonds, the City will make no use of bond proceeds which, if such use had been reasonably expected at the date the bonds are issued, could have caused the bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service adopted thereunder, and further shall rebate to the United States any amounts actually earned as arbitrage in accordance with the provisions of that Code and those regulations.
