Purpose of Certificate. This certificate is made for the purpose of establishing evidence of the expectations of the Issuer as of the date hereof as to future events regarding the amount and use of proceeds of the Note.

Tax Representation. The Issuer expects to be able to and will comply with all the procedures and provisions set forth herein, and will do and perform all acts and things necessary and desirable within its reasonable control in order to assure that interest paid on the Note shall be excluded from gross income of the owners thereof for the purpose of federal income taxation. 1.7.
