Charlotte, North Carolina
SUBJECT: Legal Opinion; $745,000.00 Lease Financing for City of Sanford, Florida.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are the duly appointed City Attorney for the City of Sanford, Florida
(hereinafter the "City") to issue this opinion letter. I have represented City of Sanford,
Florida (the "Lessee"), in connection with the Lessee's authorization, execution and
delivery of a Lease Agreement dated as of February 22, 2021 (the "Lease Agreement"),
between the Lessee and Truist Bank ("Lender").
In this connection, we have reviewed (a) the Constitution of the State of Florida;
(b) statutory law of the State of Florida that we have deemed pertinent; (c) the City
Charter of the City of Sanford; (d) certain proceedings taken by the governing body of
the City (the City Commission); and (e) such other information and documents as we
have deemed appropriate, in our discretion, but without any duty to make inquiry in any
regard. In rendering this opinion, we are acting as experts only as to matters arising
under Florida law..
Based upon the foregoing, it is our legal opinion that::
(1). The Lessee is a Florida public body duly existing pursuant to Florida law.
(2). The Lessee has duly adopted the Resolution.
(3). The Lessee has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Lease
Agreement. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Lease
Agreement by every other party, thereto, the Lease Agreement constitutes a valid and
binding agreement of the Lessee enforceable in accordance with its terms. The
enforceability of the Lessee's obligations with respect to the Lease Agreement is subject
11 P a g
SERVING CENTRAL FLORIDA
—SINCE 1954 —
to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights. The enforceability of such obligations is
also subject to usual equity principles, which may limit the specific enforcement of
certain remedies.
(4). No further approval, consent or withholding of objections is required from
any federal, state or local government authority with respect to the Lessee's entering
into the Lease Agreement, the Lessee's performing its obligations thereunder or the
transactions contemplated thereby. The Lessee has complied with all applicable
public -bidding procedures regarding the Equipment (as defined in the Lease
Agreement) and the transactions contemplated by the Lease Agreement.
(5). All of the Equipment described in the Lease Agreement is intended to be
financed by the Lessee will be personal property when installed as expected, and no
portion will be real property or a "fixture" within the meaning of the Florida Uniform
Commercial Code.
(6). There is no litigation or any proceeding before any governmental agency
pending or, to the best of my knowledge after reasonable investigation, threatened
against the Lessee (or any official thereof in an official capacity) with respect to (a) the
Lessee's organization or existence, (b) the Lessee's authority to execute and deliver the
Lease Agreement, to adopt the Resolution or to comply with the terms thereof, (c) the
transactions contemplated by the Lease Agreement and the Resolution, (d) the title to
office of any Lessee governing board member or any other Lessee officer, or (e) any
authority or proceedings relating to the Lessee's execution or delivery of the Lease
Agreement..
Our opinion expressed herein is predicated upon present law, facts and
circumstances, and we assume no affirmative obligation to update the opinions
expressed herein if such laws, facts or circumstances change after the date hereof. Our
opinion is made as of the date hereof and under existing law.
No one other than the addressees named above, is entitled to rely upon the
statements made, and conclusions expressed, within this opinion.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please feel free to contact us if we
can provide any further information in support of this matter or be of assistance in any
way.

Lease Documents
BB&T is now Truist Bank
Branch Banking and Trust Company ("BB&T") and SunTrust Bank have merged
and we are now known as Truist Bank ("Truist"). Although now your loan
documents reflect Truist as the Lender or Bank, BB&T Governmental Finance and
BB&T Loan Services will continue to operate under the BB&T name for some
period of time until operating systems convert to Truist systems.
In addition, effective on the date of the merger any disclosure, fonn, or instrument
naming BB&T as a party constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Truist. You
may also from time to time receive correspondence, statements, documentation and
information in the name of BB&T for an extended period of time after the merger.
Such documentation will apply to your loan as referred to therein and should be
viewed as coming from Truist.

ARTICLE III
LESSEE'S PAYMENT OBLIGATION AND RELATED MATTERS

(a) As rental for the Equipment, the Lessee shall make Base Payments to Lender in
lawful money of the United States at the times and in the amounts set forth in Exhibit B attached
hereto, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. As indicated in Exhibit B, the Base
Payments reflect the repayment of the Amount Advanced and include designated interest
components.
M
(b) Upon payment of all the Base Payments and all Additional Payments, the Lessee
may, at its option, purchase all of Lender's interest in the Equipment, on an as -is, where -is basis,
upon notice and payment to Lender of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00). This option to purchase the
Equipment is personal to the Lessee and is not assignable.
Section 3.02. Additional Payments. The Lessee shall pay all Additional Payments on a
timely basis directly to the person or entity to which such Additional Payments are owed in lawful
money of the United States.
Section 3.03. At its option at any time, the Lessee may prepay the outstanding principal
component of the Amount Advanced (in whole but not in part), and thereby obtain ownership of all
the Equipment free of this lease and Lender's interest in the Equipment, by paying (a) all Additional
Payments then due and payable, (b) all interest accrued and unpaid to the prepayment date, and (c)
100% of the outstanding principal component of the Amount Advanced, in accordance with the
provisions of Exhibit B attached hereto.
Section 3.04. Late Payments. if the Lessee fails to pay any Base Payment when due, the
Lessee shall pay additional interest on the principal component of the late Base Payment at an
annual rate equal to the Prime Rate from the original due date.
Section 3.05. Appropriations.
(a) The Budget Officer shall include in the initial proposal for each of the Lessee's
annual budgets the amount of all Base Payments and estimated Additional Payments coming due
during the Fiscal Year to which such budget applies. Notwithstanding that the Budget Officer
includes such an appropriation for Required Payments in a proposed budget, the Governing Board
may determine not to include such an appropriation in the Lessee's final budget for such Fiscal
Year.
(b) The Budget Officer shall deliver notification to Lender within 15 days after the
adoption of the annual budget if an amount equal to the Base Payments and estimated Additional
Payments coming due during the next Fiscal Year has not been appropriated by the Lessee in such
budget for such purposes.
(c) The actions required of the Lessee and its officers and/or officials pursuant to this
Section shall be deemed to be and shall be construed to be in fulfillment of ministerial duties, and it
shall be the duty of each and every Lessee officer and/or official to take such action and do such
things as are required by law in the performance of the official duty of such officers and/or officials
to enable the Lessee to carry out and perform the actions required pursuant to this Section and the
remainder of this Agreement to be carried out and performed by the Lessee.
(d) Subject to its right of nonappropriation, the Lessee currently believes that it can
obtain funds sufficient to pay all Required Payments when due.
(e) The Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the nonappropriation provisions of this
Agreement are not intended to be used (i) as a substitute for convenience termination nor (ii) to
E
allow the Lessee to replace the Equipment with other substantially identical or functionally
equivalent property. The Lessee, to the extent permitted by law, agrees not to use the
nonappropriation provisions for any such purpose.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, if the
Lessee fails to appropriate funds to pay the Required Payments for the next Fiscal Year to continue
leasing of the Equipment, this Agreement shall terminate, shall create no further obligation of the
Lessee as to subsequent Fiscal Years and shall be null and void. In such Event of Nonappropriation,
the Lessee shall notify Lender at least twenty (20) days prior to the end of the then current Fiscal
Year. The Lessee shall not, in this sole event, be obligated to make any Required Payments beyond
the end of such Fiscal Year. The happening of such occurrence shall be conclusively presumed
from the Lessee's notification of Lender or Lender's assignee of such occurrence. In such Event of
Nonappropriation, this Agreement shall terminate on the last day of the Fiscal Year for which
appropriations were received without penalty or expense to the Lessee of any kind whatsoever.
Subsequent to such termination of this Agreement, the Lessee shall have no continuing obligation to
make Required Payments under this Agreement. No right of action or damages shall accrue to the
benefit of Lender or its assignee as to that portion of this Agreement which may so terminate. The
provisions of this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the failure of any
party to comply with any provision of this Agreement and whether or not the Lessee is in default
under this Agreement. The Lessee agrees to surrender possession of the Equipment to Lender or its
assignee on the date of such termination. Lender shall have all the lights and remedies to take
possession of the Equipment and to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Equipment as its own
property without liability to the Lessee.
Section 3.06. No Abatement. There shall be no abatement or reduction of the Required
Payments for any reason, including, but not limited to, any defense, recoupment, setoff,
counterclaim, or any claim (real or imaginary) arising out of or related to the Equipment, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement. The Lessee assumes and shall bear the entire risk of loss and
damage to the Equipment from any cause whatsoever. The Required Payments shall be made in all
events unless the Lessee's obligation to make Required Payments is tenninated as otherwise
provided in this Agreement.
Section 3.07. Interest Rate and Payment Adiustment. (a) "Rate Adjustment Event"
means (i) any action by the Internal Revenue Service (including the delivery of a deficiency notice)
or any other federal court or administrative body determining, or (ii) receipt by Lender of an opinion
of nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect, (A) that the interest component of Base
Payments, or any portion thereof, is includable in any beneficiary's gross income for federal income
tax purposes.
(b) Upon any Rate Adjustment Event, (i) the unpaid principal portion of the Amount
Advanced shall continue to be payable on dates and in amounts as set forth in Exhibit B, but (ii) the
interest components of the Base Payments shall be recalculated, at an interest rate equal to an
annualized interest rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% (200 basis points), to the date
(retroactively, if need be) determined pursuant to the Rate Adjustment Event to be the date interest
became includable in any beneficiary's gross income for federal income tax purposes.
0
(c) The Lessee shall pay interest at such adjusted rate (subject to credit for interest
previously paid) to each affected beneficiary, notwithstanding the fact that any particular
beneficiary may not necessarily be a beneficiary to this Agreement on the date of a Rate
Adjustment Event. The Lessee shall additionally pay to all affected counterparties any interest,
penalties or other charges assessed against or payable by such beneficiary and attributable to a
Rate Adjustment Event notwithstanding the prior repayment of the entire Amount Advanced or
any transfer to another beneficiary.

shall be held separate and apart from all other funds or accounts of the Lessee. The Project Fund
is the Lessee's property, but the Lessee may withdraw amounts on deposit in the Project Fund
only as provided herein and only for application from time to time to the payment of Project
Costs or otherwise as permitted by Section 4.03 hereof. Pending such application, such amounts
shall be subject to a lien and charge in favor of Lender to secure the Lessee's obligations
hereunder.
Section 4.02. Requisitions from Proiect Fund. The Lessee may withdraw funds from

Representative. The Lessee shall submit its signed requisitions in pdf format by electronic
transmission at the email address contained in the requisition form.
Upon receipt of a requisition from the Lessee, Lender shall undertake such review of the
matters referred to in such requisition as it shall deem appropriate, and within seven (7) Business
Days after such receipt shall notify the Lessee if it does not approve the requisition with the
reasons for its disapproval. Lender has no obligation to make a review and any review by Lender
is only for Lender's benefit. Lender shall not unreasonably withhold payment of any requisition.
Section 4.03. Disposition of Project Fund Balance. (a) Promptly after the acquisition
of the Equipment, and when the Lessee has withdrawn from the Project Fund all of the funds
needed to acquire the Equipment, the Lessee shall deliver to Lender a written certificate of
completion executed by a Lessee Representative stating that (i) the Equipment has been
acquired, (ii) there are no mechanic's or other liens against the Equipment for labor or
materials furnished in connection with the acquisition of the Equipment, and (iii) no further
funds will be requisitioned from the Project Fund to pay Project Costs. Lender may then
withdraw any balance remaining in the Project Fund (and not required to be retained to pay
Project Costs incurred but not yet paid) and apply such amount as provided in subsection (d) of
this Section.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may withdraw any balance
7
remaining in the Project Fund and apply such amount as provided in subsection (d) of this
Section.
(c) If (i) more than three years have elapsed from the Closing Date or (ii) at least six
months have elapsed from Lender's most recent receipt of a requisition for Project Costs, then
Lender, upon 30 days' notice from Lender to the Lessee, may withdraw any balance remaining
in the Project Fund and apply such amount as provided in subsection (d) of this Section.

contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation the possession, condition or use of the
Equipment. The indemnification arising tinder this Section shall survive the Agreement's
termination.
Section 5.02. Covenant as to Tax Exemption. (a) The Lessee covenants that it
will not take any action, or fail to take any action, if any such action or failure to take action
would adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income taxation purposes of

Code. In particular, the Lessee covenants that it will not directly or indirectly use or permit the
use of any proceeds of any fund created under this Agreement, any funds of the Lessee or any
property financed or refinanced with funds provided to the Lessee under this Agreement, or
otherwise take or omit to take any action, that would cause the obligation created by this
Agreement to be an "arbitrage bond*' within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code or a
"private activity bond" under Section 141 of the Code. The Lessee will maintain books on
which will be recorded (i) Lender or (ii) any assignee of the Base Payments due under this
Agreement, as the registered owner of such Base Payments. To that end, the Lessee has

Regulations as may be applicable to the obligation created by this Agreement from time to
time. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, if the Lessee shall provide to Lender a
Bond Counsel Opinion to the effect that any action required under this Section or the Use of
Proceeds Certificate is no longer required, or to the effect that some further action is required, to
maintain the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the obligation created by this
Agreement pursuant to Section 103 of the Code, the Lessee and Lender may rely conclusively on
such opinion in complying with the provisions thereof.
(e) To the extent permitted by law, the Lessee hereby designates and authorizes Lender
and its employees as its agents and attorneys -in -fact of the Lessee for the purpose of preparing and
filing with the IRS a form 8038 (or other form required under Section 149(e) of the Code) with
I
respect to this Agreement.
(f) The Lessee acknowledges that its personnel must be familiar with the arbitrage

financing proceeds comply with such rules.

Agreement.

authorizations of all governmental entities and regulatory bodies, and all filings and notices required
on the Lessee's part to have been obtained or completed as of today in connection with the
authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions

Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor the
fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (a) to the best of the

Section 7.07. Payment of Costs and Attorney's Fees. If Lender employs an attorney to
assist in the enforcement or collection of Required Payments, or if Lender voluntarily or otherwise
shall become a party to any suit or legal proceeding (including a proceeding conducted under any
state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency statute) to protect the Equipment, to protect the lien of this
Agreement, to enforce collection of the Required Payments or to enforce compliance by the Lessee
with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Lessee, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to
pay reasonable attorneys' fees and all of the costs that may reasonably be incurred (whether or not

Rate) shall be secured as Required Payments.
ARTICLE VIII
WIRE TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS
In order to prevent unauthorized or fraudulent wire transfers through cyber fraud and
other means, Lender and the Lessee hereby agree to the provisions of this Article VIII.
19
Section 8.01. Wire Transfer Requirements. In the event a wire transfer is made by
Lender to disburse funds as contemplated by this Agreement (a "Disbursement'), said wire
transfer shall be delivered as directed in a written "Disbursement Authorization" provided to
Lender by a representative of the Lessee, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Article. For the purposes of this Article, a representative of the Lessee shall include employees
and elected and/or appointed officials of the Lessee, bond counsel, the Lessee's legal counsel or
the Lessee's financial advisor.
Section 8.02. Verification Procedures. Prior to making any Disbursement pursuant to
a Disbursement Authorization not delivered to Lender in person by a representative of the
Lessee, Lender shall verify such Disbursement Authorization verbally via telephone
communication with a representative of the Lessee. The Lessee shall ensure that a representative
of the Lessee will provide such verification to Lender. The Lessee shall not disclose, or allow to
be disclosed, such Lender verification procedures to any third party unless there is a legitimate
business need to make such disclosure or such disclosure is required by law, and the Lessee
accepts the risk of such third -party knowledge of the security procedures. If the Lessee has
reason to believe that a security procedure has been obtained by or disclosed to an unauthorized
person or learns of any unauthorized transfer or of any discrepancy in a transfer request, then the
Lessee shall notify Lender immediately.
Section 8.03. Payee Identification. The Lessee is solely responsible for accurately
identifying the wire transfer information contained in the Disbursement Authorization delivered
to Lender by a representative of the Lessee, including but not limited to the bank name and its
ABA number, beneficiary's account name and account number and beneficiary's physical
address, together with other information requested by Lender (collectively, "Remittance
Instructions"). If the Remittance Instructions describe a beneficiary inconsistently by name and
account number, the Lessee acknowledges that Lender may make payment on the basis of the
account number alone, that Lender is not obligated to detect such errors, and that the Lessee
assumes the risk of any loss resulting tberefrom.
Section 8.04. Duty to Reconcile Written Confirmation. Upon request from a
representative of the Lessee, Lender shall use its best efforts to send a representative of the
Lessee written confirmation of the Disbursement in the form of a reference number, beneficiary
name and wire amount. A representative of the Lessee shall promptly review and reconcile the
written confirmation of the Disbursement sent by Lender, and shall report to Lender in writing,
promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of such written
confirmation, any unauthorized, erroneous, unreceived or improperly executed payment. Lender
and the Lessee agree that ten (10) Business Days is a reasonable time for the detection and
reporting to Lender of such information. After that time, all items on the written confirmation
will be considered correct and the Lessee will be precluded from recovering from Lender if such
wire transfer identified in the written confirmation was actually made by Lender. For the
avoidance of doubt, any such writings can be provided electronically.
Section 8.05. Unauthorized Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if
a Disbursement has been verified by a representative of the Lessee pursuant to Section 8.02, it
shall be binding on the Lessee if Lender acted in good faith in making such Disbursement.
Fill
Section 8.06. Recordation. Lender may record any telephone conversation between
Lender and a representative of the Lessee in order to reduce the risk of unauthorized or erroneous
transfers. Lender may retain such recordings for as long as Lender may deem necessary.
Section 8.07 'Indemnification and Hold Harmless. If Lender complies with the
provisions of this Article VII, the Lessee agrees that Lender shall not be responsible for any
communication or miscommunication by a representative of the Lessee, and the Lessee further
agrees to indemnify, to the extent allowed by law, Lender and hold Lender harmless from and
against any and all losses, claims, expenses, suits, costs or damages, demands or liabilities of
whatever kind or nature, whether now existing or hereafter relating in any way to a wire transfer
made pursuant to the Agreement or the Project Fund Agreement.
Section 8.08. Applicable Law. All wire transfer orders are governed by Article 4A of
the UCC, except as any provisions thereof that may be and are modified by the terms hereof. If
any part of the applicable wire transfer order involves the use of the Fedwire, the rights and
obligations of Lender and the Lessee regarding that wire transfer order are governed by
Regulation J of the Federal Reserve Board.

USE OF PROCEEDS CERTIFICATE
The undersigned Finance Director of City of Sanford, Florida (the "Lessee"), is among
the Lessee's officers charged with responsibility for the Lessee's entering into a Lease
Agreement dated as of k 2021 (the "Agreement"), with Truist Bank ("Lender").
This Certificate is delivered A pare the official record of the proceedings for the delivery of
the Agreement, as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.148-2(b)(2). I am executing
and delivering this Certificate on behalf of the Lessee to set forth in good faith the Lessee's
reasonable expectations concerning the use and investment of financing proceeds and other
related matters, in order to assure that interest on the Obligations (as defined below) will be
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. I understand that I have an
obligation to make the representations in this Certificate both correct and complete.
All capitalized terms used in this Certificate and not otherwise defined have the meanings
assigned to such terms under the Treasury Regulations applicable to tax-exempt bonds.
PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT
1. The Lessee is executing and delivering the Agreement today to provide funds to
finance the acquisition of police vehicles and related equipment set forth in the Agreement (the
"Equipment"), and to pay certain financing costs. Lender will advance funds for the Equipment
to the Lessee pursuant to the Agreement. Lender is entering into the Agreement for its own
account with no current intention of reselling its rights under the Agreement or any interest
therein, except that Lender may make an assignment of payment rights to an affiliate, in whole,
at par and without recourse.
PROCEEDS: PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

Lessee the amount of $745,000.00 (the "Proceeds") by making a deposit into a Project Fund
created pursuant to the Agreement.
(b) Under the Agreement, the Lessee is obligated to pay Base Payments (as defined in
the Agreement) on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Agreement (the Lessee's
obligations to pay Base Payments are referred to in this Certificate as the "Obligations"), subject
to prepayment as provided in the Agreement.
(c) The Base Payments reflect the repayment of the Proceeds and include a
designated interest component corresponding to an annual interest rate as set forth in the
Agreement. The Lessee does not expect to prepay any of the Obligations prior to the scheduled
payment dates.
USE OF PROCEEDS; REIMBURSEMENT
3. (a) All of the Proceeds and all investment earnings thereon will be used to pay
Project Costs, including costs incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the
Agreement and interest on the Obligations during the construction period.
(b) All of such costs will be incurred and expenditures made subsequent to today,
except for reimbursement to the Lessee for (i) amounts (A) paid by the Lessee not more than 60
days prior to the Lessee's declaration of its official intent to reimburse itself for such
expenditure, and (B) paid by the Lessee within 18 months of the later of (1) the date the original
expenditure was paid, or (2) the date the project to which such expenditure relates was placed
into service (but in no event more than three years after the original expenditure was paid); (ii)
amounts representing preliminary expenditures such as engineering, design and similar
preliminary expenses, as well as any legal, accounting, or other professional fees incurred in
connection with the Lessee's entering into the Agreement and related transactions, in an
aggregate amount not exceeding 20% of the principal amount of the Obligations, or (iii) an
amount not exceeding the lesser of $ 100,000 or 5% percent of the Proceeds.
(c) All of the costs to be paid or reimbursed from Proceeds will be Capital
Expenditures, and none will be Working Capital Expenditures. No portion of the Gross Proceeds
will be used, directly or indirectly, to make or finance loans to two or more ultimate Lessees.
QUALIFICATION FOR TEMPORARY PERIOD
4. Acquisition of the Equipment will begin, or did begin, on or about a J a .
Acquisition and Installment of the Equipment will proceed with due diligence, and the Equipment
will be placed in service beginning on or about - (J )Q . Within six months of today (if it has not
already done so), the Lessee will enter into subst tial binding obligations to third parties to spend
Proceeds on Project Costs that are Capital Expenditures in an amount exceeding 5% of the amount
financed. The Lessee estimates that all the Proceeds and all the investment earnings thereon will be
fully expended within months from today.
INVESTMENT PROCEEDS
5. (a) Any earnings or net profit derived from the investment of the Proceeds
will be used to pay additional Project Costs or interest on the Obligations not later than the date
that is the later of (i) three years from today or (ii) twelve months from the date of the receipt of
such earnings.
(b) After the date that is three years from today, the Lessee will not invest any of the
Gross Proceeds at a Yield in excess of the Yield on the Obligations.
(c) No investment will be acquired or disposed of at a cost or price that exceeds its
Fair Market Value as of the acquisition date, or which is less than its Fair Market Value as of the
disposition date. No portion will be invested in any investment as to which the economic return
is substantially guaranteed for more than three years.
(d) No portion of the Gross Proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, to replace
funds that the Lessee used (directly or indirectly) to acquire securities or obligations producing
(or expected to produce) a Yield higher than the Yield on the Obligations.
NO OVER -ISSUANCE OR EXCESSIVE MATURITY
6. (a) The sum of the Proceeds and the reasonably expected investment earnings
thereon does not exceed the amount reasonably expected to be required to pay Project Costs,
including interest on the Obligations during construction and financing costs.
(b) The term of the Obligations is not longer than reasonably necessary for the
governmental purposes thereof, and is not longer than the expected remaining useful life of the
Equipment.
(c) In connection with the issuance of the Obligations, the Lessee has not utilized any
device 9not described in this Certificate) which attempts to circumvent the restrictions of the
Code to exploit the difference between tax-exempt and taxable interest rates to obtain a material
financial advantage. The Lessee has not attempted to increase improperly the burden on the
market for tax-exempt securities (for example, by selling its obligations in larger amounts or
with longer maturities, or selling them sooner, than would otherwise be necessary).
COMPLIANCE WITH REBATE REQUIREMENT
7. In the Agreement, the Lessee has agreed to comply with provisions of the Code
which in some circumstances require the Lessee to pay some of its investment earnings to the
United States, as provided in Code Section 148.
PRIVATE ACTIVITY TESTS
8. No payment on the Obligations is secured by property to be used in any private
business (meaning any trade or business carried on by any person, including the federal
government, that is not a state or local government, but excluding uses by any person as a
member of the general public). None of the Proceeds are to be used for any such private
business use. The Lessee has no leases, management contracts or other agreements with private
entities or the federal government for either (a) management or operation of the Equipment, or
(b) the use of designated portions of the Equipment.
INVESTED SINKING FUNDS
9. There are no funds (a) to be held under the Agreement or (b) which are pledged as
security for the Obligations (including by way of negative pledges), or which will be used to pay
the Obligations, or which could be reasonably be expected to be available to pay the Obligations
if the Lessee were to encounter financial difficulty, other than the Project Fund referenced above.
The Lessee will pay the Obligations from its general funds, with there being no obligation (or
expectation) on the part of the Lessee or any other entity to segregate or identify any particular
funds or accounts for the payment of or security for the Obligations.
MISCELLANEOUS
10. (a) No substantial part of the Equipment will be sold, no arrangement has
been or will be entered into with respect to the Equipment that would be treated as a sale for
federal income tax purposes, and the Lessee expects to use the Equipment for their currently -
intended purpose at least until the stated date for final payment of the Obligations, in all cases
other than such insubstantial portions as may be disposed of in the ordinary course of business
due to normal wear or obsolescence.
(b) There are no other tax-exempt bonds, notes or obligations of the Lessee which (1)
were or will be sold within 15 days of the date the Agreement was entered into, (2) were or will
be sold pursuant to a plan of financing common with the plan of financing for the Agreement,
and (3) are reasonably expected to be paid from substantially the same source of funds as the
Agreement.
(c) None of the Proceeds will be used to make any payment on any other Lessee
obligation that was contracted in the exercise of the Lessee's borrowing power.
(d) No portion of the Obligations is Federally Guaranteed.
(e) The Lessee will cooperate with Lender in preparing, executing, and filing in a
timely manner IRS Form 8038 and such other reports and documents as may be required in order
for the interest on the Obligations to be excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes.
REASONABLENESS, BINDING EFFECT
11. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the expectations set forth above are
reasonable and the statements set forth above are correct. The Lessee's covenants made as
described in this Certificate are intended as binding covenants of the Lessee.
