TAX CERTIFICATE
I, SCOTT A. RUSSELL, Supervisor of the Town of Southold, in the County of
Suffolk, New York (the "Issuer"), HEREBY CERTIFY and reasonably expect with respect to
the issuance on August 28, 2014 (the"Issue Date") of the Issuer's $2,044,000 Bond Anticipation
Note for Various Purposes-2014 (the"Obligations')_ as follows in this Tax Certificate (the "Tax
Certificate").
Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, all capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A or in the Certificate of
Determination(as defined below),the Code or the Treasury Regulations.
ARTICLE I
GENERAL
1.1. Authority ng atbry. I am an officer of the Issuer charged with the
responsibility for the execution, delivery, and issuance of the Obligations and I am authorized to
act and I am acting for and on behalf of the Issuer in signing this Tax Certificate.
1.2. Authorization. The Obligations are authorized to be issued pursuant to
applicable provisions of the laws of the State of New York, the Local Finance Law, the Town
Law, and various bond resolutions duly adopted by the Town Board on their respective dates
(collectively, the "Resolution"), as referred to in the Certificate of Determination executed as of
August 28, 2014 (the"Certificate of Determination").
1.3. Description of Obligations. The Issuer represents that the Obligations are
described as set forth in the Certificate of Determination.
1.4. Purpose of Tax Certificate. This Tax Certificate is made and delivered for
the purpose of establishing evidence of the expectations of the Issuer as of the Issue Date as to
future events regarding the amount and use of proceeds of the Obligations. It is intended and
may be relied upon for purposes of Code §103 and Code §§141 through 150, and as a
certification of expectations described in Treasury Regulations §1.148-2(b)(2). This Tax
Certificate is executed and delivered as part of the record of proceedings in connection with the
issuance of the Obligations.
1.5. No Hedge Bonds. As described in Article II hereof, the proceeds of the
Obligations will be used for both"new money"and refunding purposes.
(a) As of the Issue Date the Issuer reasonably expects that (i) at least
eighty-five percent (85%) of the spendable proceeds of the Non-Refunding Portion of the
Obligations (as defined below) will be used to carry out the governmental purposes of the
Obligations within three (3) years of the Issue Date and (ii)not more than fifty percent (50%) of
the spendable proceeds of the Non-Refunding Portion of the Obligations will be invested in
investment property which would be acquired with the amounts received as a result of investing
original proceeds of the Obligations and would have a substantially guaranteed yield for four (4)
years or more.
1
2366379 1 038723 TAGMT
i
(b) The Issuer certifies that (i) as of the issue date of the Prior Obligations (as
defined below), (a) the Issuer reasonably expected that at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the
spendable proceeds of the Prior Obligations would be used to carry out the governmental
purposes of such issue within three (3) years of the issue date thereof and(ii)not more than fifty
percent (50%) of the spendable proceeds of the Prior Obligations was invested in investment
property which (1) was acquired with the amounts received as a result of investing original
proceeds of such issue and (2) had a substantially guaranteed yield for four (4) years or more.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Prior Obligations includes, as applicable, each issue
of obligations refunded by the Prior Obligations.
1.6. Reasonable Expectations. This Tax Certificate sets forth the facts,
estimates and circumstances now in existence which form the basis for the Issuer's expectation
that the proceeds of the Obligations will not be used in a manner that would cause the
Obligations to be "arbitrage bonds" under Code §148 or "private activity bonds" under Code
§§103 and 141. To the best of my knowledge and belief, such expectation is reasonable and
there are no other facts, estimates or circumstances that would materially change that
expectation.
1.7. Sale of the Obligations. The Obligations were sold to Bridgehampton
National Bank, Bridgehampton, New York (the "Purchaser") on August 19, 2014. The
Obligations are being purchased by the Purchaser in a direct, private placement transaction and
the terms of the sale and purchase have been established through negotiations between the
Purchaser and the Issuer in an arm's-length transaction. The Purchaser will not receive a fee in
connection with its purchase of the Obligations. The Purchaser has advised the Issuer that it is
purchasing the Obligations for its own account and not for the purpose of resale to the general
public or otherwise. The Purchaser is delivering good funds in exchange for the Obligations on
the date hereof.
1.8.- No Composite Issue. All the Obligations were sold at the same time,
pursuant to the same plan of financing, and are reasonably expected to be paid from substantially
the same source of funds. No other tax-exempt obligations have been or will be sold within
fifteen (15) days of the sale of the Obligations pursuant to the same plan of financing as the
Obligations that are reasonably expected to be paid from substantially the same source of funds
as the Obligations. Accordingly, the Obligations are treated as a single issue of obligations for
federal income tax purposes and no other tax-exempt obligations of the Issuer will be treated as _
part of the same issue as the Obligations for purposes of complying with federal tax law
requirements. For purposes of this Section, obligations are considered sold on the earlier of the
date a commitment letter, bond purchase agreement or contract of purchase is executed.
1.9. No Federal Guarantee. The Issuer represents that, except for the Gross
Proceeds of the Obligations which are (a) invested during the temporary periods referred to in
Article IV, (b) held in any refunding escrow, or (c) invested in obligations of the United States
Treasury or in obligations issued pursuant to Section 2113(d)(3) of the federal Home Loan Bank
Act, as amended by Section 511(a) of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989, or any successor provision to Section 21B(d)(3) of the federal Home
Loan Bank Act, as amended:
2
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
y ,
(a) No portion of the payment of principal of or interest on the Obligations is
or will be guaranteed directly or indirectly by the United States or any agency or instrumentality
thereof(herein"federally guaranteed"); and
(b) No portion of the Gross Proceeds of the Obligations in excess of five
percent (5%) of such Gross Proceeds is or will be (i)used in making loans with respect to which
the payment of principal or interest with is to be federally guaranteed, or(ii) invested directly or
indirectly in federally insured deposits or accounts.
For purposes of this Tax Certificate, generally, Gross Proceeds consist of Sale Proceeds,
Transferred Proceeds, if any, Investment Proceeds and Replacement Proceeds, if any, of the
Obligations.
1.10. Tax Representation. The Issuer will comply with all the procedures and
provisions set forth herein, and will do and perform all acts and things necessary and within its
reasonable control in order to assure that interest paid on the Obligations shall be excluded from
gross income of the owners thereof for the purpose of federal income taxation.
1.11. Additional Information. The Issuer will provide such other information as
may be required to assure the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Obligations for
federal income taxation purposes.
1.12. Noncompliance. The Issuer shall perform each of the representations
undertaken by it in this Tax Certificate unless, in the written opinion of Bond Counsel,
noncompliance therewith will not cause interest on the Obligations to be included in gross
income for purposes of federal income taxation.
1.13. Reliance by Bond Counsel.- The representations and certifications of the
Issuer expressed in this Tax Certificate may be relied upon by Bond Counsel in connection with
the rendering of any opinion with respect to the Obligations.
1.14. Reliance on Other Parties. In making its representations and certifications
in this Tax Certificate and in establishing its expectations regarding uses of Gross Proceeds of
the Obligations to assure compliance with Code §§103 and 141 through 150 generally,the Issuer
has relied on representations and certifications of other parties referenced in this Tax Certificate
and the Exhibits hereto with respect to the certified matters. Based on the various roles and
responsibilities of such other parties with respect to the certified matters, the Issuer believes that
such reliance is reasonable and prudent. The Issuer is unaware of any fact or circumstance that
would cause it to question the accuracy or reasonableness of any such certification. These
certifications include, without limitation: (i) the certificate of the Underwriter relating to the
issue price of the Bonds, attached hereto as Exhibit E, and (ii) financing schedules (the
"Financing Schedules")which are attached hereto as Exhibit F.
1.15. IRS Form 8038-G. Certain information provided by the Purchaser has
been provided to the Issuer and Bond Counsel for the purpose of completing the IRS From
8038-G. The Issuer represents that the information contained in the IRS Form 8038-G is
consistent with the computations, schedules and information provided by the Purchaser. The r
Issuer has reviewed the IRS Form 8038-G with respect to the Obligations and to the best of its
3
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
knowledge the information contained therein is true, accurate and complete. The Issuer
acknowledges that Bond Counsel prepared the IRS Form 8038-G on behalf of the Issuer based
solely on the information contained in this Tax Certificate and information provided by the
Purchaser. The Issuer will arrange for the filing of IRS Form 8038-G with respect to the
Obligations by the 15th day of the second month after the calendar quarter in which the
Obligations are issued.
1.16. Multipurpose Issue. The Issuer hereby elects, pursuant to Treasury
Regulations §§1.148-9(h) and 1.150-1(c)(3), to treat the portion of the Obligations allocable to
the refunding of the Refunded Obligations (referred to herein as the "Refunding Portion of the
Obligations") and the portion of the Obligations allocable to the costs of the Projects (referred to
herein as the "Non-Refunding Portion of the Obligations") as separate issues solely for certain
federal tax purposes.

of Determination and summarized in Exhibit C attached hereto; and
(c) to pay a portion of the costs of issuing the Obligations.
The Prior Obligations to be current refunded with the proceeds of the Refunding
Portion of the Obligations are referred to herein as the"Refunded Obligations.'
2.2. Proceeds of Prior Obligations. The proceeds of the Prior Obligations were
used to: (a) finance or refinance all or a portion of the costs of the Refunded Projects and(b)pay
costs of issuing the Prior Obligations.
Several of the Refunded Obligations were originally issued in 2010. Accordingly,
pursuant to Section 56(g)(4)(B)(iv) of the Code, the Obligations shall be treated as issued in
2010 for purposes of determining the exclusion of interest on the Obligations from the adjusted
current earnings of certain corporations for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum tax
imposed on such corporations.

ARTICLE III
USE OF PROJECTS AND LIMITATIONS ON PRIVATE ACTIVITY
3.1. Ownership/Lease/Sale. While the Obligations remain outstanding, all of
the Projects will be owned by the Issuer or another Governmental Unit and will not be owned by
or leased to any person who is not a Governmental Unit. The Projects will not (except to the
extent that any portion of the Projects were financed with grants, if any) be sold or otherwise
disposed of, in whole or in part, except for incidental sales of surplus items the proceeds of
which will not constitute net operating profits or net capital profits to the Issuer, and minor parts
or portions as may be disposed of in the ordinary course of business due to normal wear and tear,
obsolescence or depreciation or similar purposes, prior to the final maturity date of the
Obligations.
3.2. No Private Loans. While the Obligations remain outstanding, none of the
proceeds of the Obligations are being or will be used, directly or indirectly, to make loans to
persons other than a Governmental Unit while the Obligations remain outstanding. The Issuer
5
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
f
will not make any private loans from the proceeds of the Obligations after the Issue Date unless
the Issuer has received a written opinion of Bond Counsel that such private loan will not
adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Obligations from gross income for purposes
of federal income taxation.
3.3. Limitations on Private Use. At all times while the Obligations remain
outstanding, less than the lesser of$15,000,000 or ten percent (10%) of either: (a)the aggregate
amount of the proceeds of the Obligations are used or expected to be used, directly or indirectly,
in a trade or business carried on by a person other than a Governmental Unit ("Private Use") or
(b)the aggregate present value of the debt service on the Obligations during the term thereof is
expected to be, under the terms of the Obligations or any underlying arrangement, directly or
indirectly, secured by any interest in property used or to be used for Private Use or in payments
in respect of property used or to be used for Private Use or is to be derived from payments,
whether or not to the Issuer, in respect of property or borrowed,money used or to be used for
Private Use. Payments by a person for use of proceeds do not include the portion of any
payment that is properly allocable to the payment of ordinary and necessary expenses(as defined
under Code §162) directly attributable to the operation and maintenance of the financed property
used by that person. For this purpose, general overhead and administrative expenses are not
directly attributable to those operations and maintenance.
3.4. Unrelated/Related Disproportionate Use. At all times while the
Obligations remain outstanding, less than the lesser of $15,000,000 or five, percent (5010) of
either: (a) the proceeds of the Obligations will be used, directly or indirectly, in the trade or
business of a person other than a Governmental Unit that is unrelated or related and
disproportionate to the governmental use of the Projects, including any private loan financing
described in Section 3.2 hereof which meets this test or (b) the aggregate present value of the
debt service on the Obligations during the term thereof is expected to be, under the terms of the
Obligations or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secured by any interest in
property used or to be used for Private Use or in payments in respect of property used or to be
used for Private Use or is to be derived from payments,whether or not to the Issuer,in respect of
property or borrowed money used or to be used for Private Use. Payments by a person for use of
proceeds do not include the portion of any payment that is properly allocable to the payment of
ordinary and necessary expenses (as defined under Code §162) directly attributable to the
operation and maintenance of the financed property used by that person. For this purpose,
general overhead and administrative expenses are not directly attributable to those operations and
maintenance. For purposes of this Tax Certificate, proceeds of the Obligations are allocable to a
disproportionate related Private Use to the extent that the proceeds of the Obligations which are
to be used to finance property used by a nongovernmental person in a trade or business which is
related to the governmental use of the property exceeds the proceeds of the Obligations which
are to be used for the governmental use to which such Private Use relates.
3.5. Private Use Defined (a) For purposes of Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof,
Private Use consists of any agreement, contract or other arrangement including, without
limitation, leases, management contracts, guarantee contracts, take or pay contracts, put or pay
contracts, output contracts or research contracts which provides for use of any portion of the
Projects by a person(s) who is not a Governmental Unit on a basis different than the general
public. The Issuer will not enter into any such contract or arrangement unless the Issuer has
6
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
a
obtained an opinion from Bond Counsel that such contract or arrangement does not adversely
affect the exclusion of interest on the Obligations from gross income for purposes of federal
income taxation. None of the Projects were financed or are being financed or refinanced for use
by any specific user(other than the Issuer).
(b) Use by State or Local Governmental Units. The Projects, including
service or capacity from the Projects, if any, may be used by or on behalf of a Governmental
Unit provided that there is no transfer or flow-through of such use to any person or entity
carrying on any trade or business that does not constitute General Public Use (as defined in
subsection(c)below).
(c) General Public Use. The Projects, including service or capacity from the
Projects, if any, may be used by any person or entity, including any person or entity carrying on
any trade or business without any Private Use arising therefrom, if such use constitutes General
Public Use. "General Public Use" is any arrangement providing for use that is available to the
general public at either(i)no charge, or(ii) on the basis of rates that are generally applicable and
uniformly applied. For this purpose, rates may be treated as generally applicable and uniformly
applied even if(i)different rates apply to different classes of users, such as volume purchasers, if
the differences in rates are customary and reasonable, or (ii) a specially negotiated rate
arrangement is entered into, but only if the user is prohibited by federal law from paying the
generally applicable rates, and the rates established are as comparable as reasonably possible to
the generally applicable rates. The Issuer imposes generally applicable and uniform rates and
charges, if any, on all users of the facilities, service or capacity of the Projects pursuant to the
schedules of rates and charges adopted by the Issuer from time to time.
(d) No Priority Rights or Other Preferential Benefits. The Projects, including
service or capacity from the Projects, if any, will not be used by any person or entity under any
arrangement that conveys priority rights or other preferential benefits except as may be permitted
by subsection(b) above.
(e) 200 Days General Public Use Arrangements. The Projects, including
service or capacity from the Projects, if any, may be used by any person or entity under any
arrangement that is available to members of the general public and that does not otherwise
convey priority rights or other preferential benefits is treated, nevertheless, as General Public
Use if the term of the use under the arrangement, including all renewal options, is not greater
than two hundred (200) days. For this purpose, a right of first refusal to renew use under the
arrangement is not treated as a renewal option if (i) the compensation for the use under the
arrangement is redetermined at generally applicable, fair market value rates that are in effect at
the time of renewal, and (ii) the use of the financed property under the same or similar
arrangements is predominantly by natural persons who are not engaged in a trade or business.
(f) 100 Days Limited General Public Use Arrangements. The Projects,
including service or capacity from the Projects, if any,may be used by any person or entity under
any arrangement for use (other than as an owner) for a term (including renewal options) of not
longer than one hundred (100) days,provided that the arrangement would be General Public Use
except that it is not available on the same basis for use by natural persons because generally
applicable and uniformly applied rates are not reasonably available to natural persons_not
7
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
engaged in a trade or business and the Projects are not financed for the principal purpose of such
Private Use.
(g) 50 Days Negotiated Arm's-Length Use Arrangements. The Projects,
including service or capacity from the Projects, if any,may be used by any person or entity under
any arrangement (other than as an owner) for a term (including renewal options)not longer than
fifty (50) days, provided the arrangement is negotiated at arm's-length, the compensation paid
for the use is at fair market value and the Projects are not financed for the principal purpose of
such Private Use.
The term limits described in each of the three foregoing contractual arrangements
(Le., paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) above) are not required to relate to consecutive days (e.g., if the
contract provides for use of a bond-financed facility for ten (10) days per year for six (6) years,
the contract could not comply with the requirements applicable to contractual arrangements set
forth in paragraph(g)above,because the term of the contract would exceed fifty(50)days.)
(h) Incidental Use Arrangements. The Projects may be used by any person or
entity where the use is incidental if, except for vending machines, pay telephones, kiosks and
similar uses, the use does not involve the transfer of possession and control of space separated
from other areas of the facility by walls,partitions, barriers and the like,the nonpossessory use is
not functionally related to any other use of such portion of the Project by the same person(other
than a different nonpossessory use) and all nonpossessory uses do not in the aggregate exceed
2.5% of the Projects or such facility.
3.6. Management and Operations Contracts. The Issuer manages and operates
all of the Projects. The Issuer has not been a party to any management contract or operating
agreement with any person or entity for management services or operating activities to be
provided to the Issuer at or with respect to the Projects. The Issuer will not enter into any such
contract or arrangement with any person or entity while the Obligations remain outstanding,
except: (a) with respect to contracts or arrangements which do not constitute Private Use of the
Projects under Code §141(b), (b) with respect to contracts or arrangements which satisfy the
"safe harbors" set forth in IRS Rev. Proc. 97-13, 1997-1 C.B. 632, as amended or supplemented
from time to time (each a "Safe Harbor Management Contract") as summarized in Exhibit D
attached hereto, (c) with respect to contracts or arrangements that do not give rise to use of
Bond-financed property by a non-Governmental Unit of more than the amount of such non-
qualified use permitted by the Code, as measured in the aggregate, or (d) in the event that the
Issuer receive an opinion of Bond Counsel that such contracts or arrangements will not adversely
affect the exclusion of the interest on the Obligations from gross income for federal income
taxation purposes.
3.7. Monitoring and Measurement of Private Activity. (a) The Issuer
represents that it will monitor the amount of Private Use of the Projects to ensure that the
aggregate amount of such use of the Projects will not exceed the applicable limits described in
this Article. The Issuer has established or will establish procedures for monitoring the amount of
Private Use at the Projects. The Issuer will consult with Bond Counsel and other legal counsel
and advisers as necessary to determine whether, and to what extent, if as a result of any Private
8
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
Use of the financed or refinanced facilities any remedial action is required under Treasury
Regulation §1.141-12.
(b) The amount of Private Use of a Project is determined according to the
average percentage of Private Use of such Project during the measurement period. To the extent
that the Projects are owned by the Issuer, the measurement period with respect to a Project
(i)begins on the later of the Issue Date of the Obligations or the placed-in-service date of the
Project, and (ii) ends on the earlier of the expiration date of the economic life of the Project or
the last maturity of the Obligations. The average percentage of Private Use is the average of the
percentages of Private Use during the one-year periods within the measurement period and is to
be determined,with appropriate adjustments, as provided in the Treasury Regulations.
(c) The Issuer also agrees to monitor the amount of private payments and
private security at each Project to ensure that the present value of the aggregate amount of
private payments and private security at the Projects financed with the proceeds of the
Obligations will not exceed: (i) five percent (5%) with respect to unrelated or related and
disproportionate Private Use described in Section 3.4 above, and (ii) ten percent (10%) with
respect to total Private Use described in Section 3.3 above, of the present value of the aggregate
debt service on the Obligations. Such present values are to be determined, with appropriate
adjustments, as provided in the Treasury Regulations.
(d) The Issuer will advise Bond Counsel not less than annually of any change
in the amount of: (i) unrelated or related and disproportionate Private Use described in
Section 3.4 above, (ii) Private Use described in Section 3.3 above, and (iii) the corresponding
amount of private payments and private security arising from any contract or other arrangement
including, without limitation, ownership, leases, management and operation contracts, research
agreements, guarantee contracts, take or pay contracts, put or pay contracts, or other output
contracts or any other action or event described in this Article.
3.8. No Pooled Loan Financings. None of the proceeds of the Obligations will
be used directly or indirectly to make or finance loans to two or more ultimate borrowers
(including loans referred to in Section 3.2 hereof and loans to Governmental Units).
ARTICLE IV
ARBITRAGE
4.1. Purchase Price. The Obligations are being purchased in a direct, private
placement transaction. The purchase price being paid by the Purchaser is equal to $2,044,000
(which represents the aggregate stated principal amount of the Obligations).
4.2. Note Yield and Investment Yield. (a) When used in this Tax Certificate,
the term "old" refers to yield computed by the actuarial or present value method using a
360-day year and semiannual compounding, and means that discount rate which, when used in
computing the present value of all payments of principal and interest to be paid on an obligation,
produces an amount equal to the Issue Price thereof in the case of the Obligations and, the
purchase price in the case of investments purchased with Gross Proceeds of the Obligations.
9
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
(b) The Obligations constitute a Fixed Yield Issue. The yield on the
Obligations has been computed in compliance with Treasury Regulations §1.148-4, to be
0.728673% (the "Note Yield"). The Note Yield will not be affected by subsequent unexpected
events, except to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations §1.148 4(h) when and if the Issuer
enters into a Qualified Hedge or into any transaction transferring,waiving or modifying any right
that is part of the terms of the Obligations. The Issuer will consult with Bond Counsel prior to
entering into any of the foregoing transactions.
(c) None of the Obligations are subject to mandatory, contingent or optional
redemption.
(d) The Issuer has not entered into any Qualified Hedge with respect to the
Obligations.
(e) No amount has been or will be paid by or on behalf of the Issuer to any
entity as a payment for a Qualified Guarantee with respect to the Obligations.
4.3. Temporary Periods. The Issuer will not invest the Gross Proceeds of the
Obligations in Investments at yields that are materially higher, as that term is defined in Treasury
Regulations §1.148-2(d) ("Materially Higher'), than the Note Yield except as set forth in this
Section or Article VI below.
(a) Temporary Period for Bond Proceeds Used for Capital Projects. The
Issuer reasonably expects that, as of the date hereof. (i) the Issuer will enter into within Six (6)
months after the date hereof a substantial binding obligation to a third party to expend at least
five percent (5%) of the Net Sale Proceeds of the Non-Refunding Portion of the Obligations on
the Projects; (ii) the completion of the Projects and use of Net Sale Proceeds of the Non-
Refunding Portion of the Obligations will proceed with due diligence to completion; and (iii) at
least eighty-five percent (85%) of the Net Sale Proceeds of the Non-Refunding Portion of the
Obligations will be spent on the Projects within three (3) years of the date hereof. As a result,
proceeds of the Non-Refunding Portion of the Obligations used to finance the costs of the
Projects may be invested without Yield Restriction for a period not to exceed three (3) years
from the date hereof and, thereafter, shall be invested at a Yield not in excess of the Yield on the
Obligations plus one-eighth of one percentage point (1/8%). Investment earnings on obligations
acquired with such proceeds may be invested without Yield Restriction for a period not
exceeding three (3) years from the date hereof or one (1) year from the receipt thereof,
whichever is longer, and, thereafter, shall be invested at a Yield not in excess of the Yield on the
Obligations plus one-eighth of one percentage point
(b) Temporary Period for Current Refunding. Proceeds of the Refunding
Portion of the Obligations used to current refund the Refunded Obligations may be invested
without Yield Restriction for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date hereof and,
thereafter, shall be invested at a Yield not in excess of the Yield on the Obligations plus one-
eighth of one percentage point(1/8%).
(c) Temporary Period for Investment Earnings. Except as otherwise provided
in this Section, investment earnings and all amounts received by the Issuer from the investment
10
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
t
of Gross Proceeds of the Obligations may be invested without Yield Restriction for a one (1)
year period beginning on the date of receipt but in no event longer than the temporary period
applicable to the source of such investment.
(d) Temporary Period for Costs of Issuance. Proceeds of the Obligations used
to pay costs of issuance of the Obligations may be invested without Yield Restriction for a
temporary period not to exceed thirteen (13) months from the Issue Date and will be subject to
rebate.
(e) Temporary Period for Bona Fide Debt Service Fund As further discussed
in Section 7.2 below, amounts deposited in a Bona Fide Debt Service Fund may be invested
without Yield Restriction for a period of thirteen (13) months from the date of deposit in such
fund.
(f) Minor Portion. A minor portion of the Gross Proceeds of the Obligations
may be invested without Yield Restriction in an amount not exceeding the lesser of(i) $100,000
or(ii)five percent(5%) of the Sale Proceeds.
4.4. Transferred Proceeds. None of the proceeds of the Prior Obligations
remain unexpended as of the Issue Date.
4.5. Escrow Deposit Fund. [Intentionally Omitted]
4.6. Current Refunding and Redemption Date. The proceeds of the
Obligations will be spent within ninety (90) days after the Issue Date to retire or pay debt service
and redemption premium, if any, on the Refunded Obligations. The redemption date of the Prior
Obligations is August 29,2014.
4.7. Yield Reduction Payments. Notwithstanding any of the provisions in this
Tax Certificate that require Sale Proceeds of the Obligations and investment earnings thereon to
be invested at a yield not in excess of the Note Yield, the yield on certain investments acquired
with proceeds of the Obligations will not be considered to be higher than the applicable yield
limitation described herein if the Issuer makes or causes to be made Yield Reduction Payments
to the United States Treasury at the time and in the amounts described in Treasury Regulations
§1.148-5(c). The Issuer will consult with Bond Counsel prior to making any investments in
reliance on its eligibility to make Yield Reduction Payments.
4.8. Yield Restricted Money. Amounts that must be Yield Restricted, if any,
will be invested in either: (i) Nonpurpose Investments at a fair market price which produces a
yield not Materially Higher than the Note Yield, (ii) SLGS which produce yield not Materially
Higher than the Note Yield, or(iii) Tax-Exempt Obligations.
4.9. Universal Cap. (a) On each Valuation Date, the Issuer shall value the
Universal Cap and the Nonpurpose Investments allocable to the Obligations thereunder.
Nonpurpose Investments in a Bona Fide Debt Service Fund do not reduce the aggregate value of
Nonpurpose Investments that may be allocated to the Obligations under the Universal Cap.
Nonpurpose Investments cease to be allocated to the Obligations to the extent such Nonpurpose
Investments have been expended for the governmental purpose of the issue, or to the extent the
11
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
value thereof exceeds the value permitted to be allocated to the Obligations under the Universal
Cap. To the extent Nonpurpose investments cease to be allocated to issue
tmarm and tyle value of Clic
Universal Cap exceeds the value of the remaining Nonpurpose Investments allocated to such
issue, other Nonpurpose Investments may become allocated to the issue, provided that such
Nonpurpose Investments are not already properly allocated to another issue and that such
allocation does not cause the value of Nonpurpose Investments allocated to the Obligations to
exceed the Universal Cap.
Generally, if Gross Proceeds of the Obligations invested in Nonpurpose Investments
exceed the Universal Cap on a Valuation Date, such Nonpurpose Investments cease to be
allocated to the Obligations in the following order:
(i) amounts allocable to Replacement Proceeds,
(ii) amounts allocable to Transferred Proceeds,
(iii) amounts allocable to Sale Proceeds and Investment Proceeds.
(b) Amounts are allocable to only one issue at a time as Gross Proceeds.
Amounts that are original proceeds or transferred proceeds allocable to an issue must be so
allocated to that issue and may not be allocated instead as replacement proceeds to another issue.
Amounts cease to be original proceeds or transferred proceeds allocated to an issue only when
they are properly allocated to an expenditure for a governmental purpose, when they become
transferred proceeds of another issue or when they cease to be allocated to an issue by operation
of the Universal Cap. Where a Nonpurpose Investment ceases to be allocated to the Obligations,
such Nonpurpose Investment is subject to re-allocation under the Universal Cap calculated with
respect to another bond issue. A Nonpurpose Investment which is reallocated to another bond
issue may be valued under the same valuation method pursuant to which it was valued for
purposes of applying the Universal Cap with respect to the Obligations.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure to perform the
determination of Nonpurpose Investments allocable to the Obligations as of a Valuation Date
shall not be considered a violation of this provision if the value of Nonpurpose Investments
allocated to the Obligations did not exceed the value of the Obligations outstanding on such date.
4.10. No Prohibited Pam. The Issuer has not entered into and will not
enter into any transaction to reduce the Yield on the Investment of the Gross Proceeds of the
Obligations in such a manner that the amount to be rebated to the federal government is less than
it would have been had the transaction been at arm's-length and the Note Yield had not been
relevant to either party.
4.11. No Overissuance. The proceeds of the Obligations, including investment
proceeds, will not exceed the amount necessary for the purpose(s)of the Obligations.
4.12. Disposition Receipts. The Issuer will consult with Bond Counsel as to
how to invest and dispose of any amounts received from the condemnation, insurance, or
disposition of any part of the Projects.
12
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
4.13. No Replacement Proceeds. No Replacement Proceeds (as defined in
Treasury Regulations §1.148-1(c)) are expected to be created as a result of issuing the
Obligations, as the weighted average maturity of the Obligations as set forth in Exhibit F
attached hereto does not exceed one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the remaining weighted
average economic life of the Projects as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto. The average
economic life of the Projects are assumed to have been assigned the "period of probable use" as
defined under the State of New York Local Finance laws. The Issuer confirms that the
Obligations are outstanding for a period that is reasonably required to accomplish the
governmental purpose of financing the Projects with the proceeds of the Obligations.
4.14. Fair Market Value. The Issuer will not acquire Nonpurpose Investments
at other than an arm's-length,Fair Market Value price.
ARTICLE V
REBATE
5.1. Rebate Compliance. The Issuer understands that the continued exclusion
of interest on the Obligations from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation
depends, in part, upon compliance with the arbitrage limitations imposed by Code §148,
including the rebate requirements described in this Article. The Issuer shall do and perform all
acts and things necessary in order to assure that the arbitrage and rebate requirements of Code
§148 are met.
5.2. Calculation of Rebate Amount Code §148(f) requires the payment to the
United States of the excess of the amount earned on the investment of Gross Proceeds of the
Obligations in Nonpurpose Investments over the amount that would have been earned had the
amount so invested been invested at a rate equal to the Bond Yield, together with any income
attributable to such excess. Except as provided below, all Gross Proceeds of the Obligations are
subject to this requirement. In order to meet the rebate requirement of the Code, the Issuer will
take the following actions:
(a) Record of Investments. The Issuer will record the date of receipt, amount
and source of any Gross Proceeds of the Obligations, e.g., Sale Proceeds,Replacement Proceeds,
loan repayments, investment earnings. For each Nonpurpose Investment acquired with or
allocated to Gross Proceeds of the Obligations, the Issuer will record the purchase date or
allocation date of such investment, its purchase price (excluding any broker or dealer's
commission or discount), or, if not acquired directly with Gross Proceeds of the Obligations, its
Value on the date the Nonpurpose Investment is allocated to Gross Proceeds of the Obligations,
accrued interest due on its purchase date or allocation date, its face amount, its coupon rate, its
yield, the frequency of its interest payment, its disposition price (excluding any broker or
dealer's commission or discount), the accrued interest due on its disposition date and its
disposition date. In addition,the Issuer will record the date and amount of all expenditures made
with Gross Proceeds of the Obligations, including the payment of any Rebate Amount (as
defined below).
13
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
(b) Method for Computing Yield For each Computation Period, the Issuer
shall determine, if required, the Bond Yield computed as required by Treasury Regulations
§1.148-4(b). When expressed as a decimal, yield will be accurate to at least four (4) decimal
places.
(c) Eli igibility of Qualified Guarantee. Payments for a Qualified Guarantee
will be eligible to be taken into account as Issue Payments for purposes of computing the Bond
Yield only if the payment for the guarantee represents a reasonable payment for a Qualified
Guarantee.
(d) Computation of Rebate Amount Subject to the special rules set forth in
paragraph (e) of this Section,the Issuer will determine the Rebate Amount on each Computation
Date. The "Rebate Amount"as of any Computation Date is the excess of the Future Value of all
receipts with respect to Nonpurpose Investments over the Future Value of all payments with
respect to the purchase of Nonpurpose Investments or the allocation of such investments to the
proceeds of the Obligations, determined as of each Computation Date. To the extent amounts
received from investments are reinvested, these amounts may be netted against each other and
not taken into account in the Computation of the Rebate Amount. The Issuer shall determine the
nonpurpose receipts and nonpurpose payments as described below.
(i) Receipts. Receipts with respect to Nonpurpose Investments include
(A) actual receipts, amounts actually or constructively received with respect to an
investment, reduced by Qualified Administrative Expenses (B) disposition receipts, the
Fair Market Value of investments deemed to be sold on the date the Investment ceases to
be allocated to the issue, (except that Present Value may be substituted for Fair Market
Value with respect to fixed yield investments, investments required to be Yield
Restricted, and investments transferring by virtue of the universal cap or transferred
proceeds rules) and (C) Computation Date Receipts, the Market Value (Present Value, in
the case of Investment Contracts and fixed rate investments) of all Nonpurpose
Investments allocated to the issue at the close of business on a Computation Date; and
(D)rebate receipts, any recovery of an overpayment of rebate.
(ii) Payments. Payments with respect to Nonpurpose Investments include
(A)direct payments, the amount of Gross Proceeds_of the issue directly used to purchase
the investment, including Qualified Administrative Expenses (B)constructive payments,
the Value of an investment allocated to (but not directly purchased with) Gross Proceeds
on the date so allocated; (C)Nonpurpose Investments allocated to an issue at the end of
the preceding Computation Period, at the value of the investments at the beginning of the
computation period; (D)rebate payments, payments of rebate amounts when due and
Yield Reduction Payments on Nonpurpose Investments and (E)the Computation Date
Credit.
(e) Rebate Exceptions. In connection with the rebate requirement the
following exceptions shall apply to the Obligations. Under Treasury Regulations §1.148-7(b)(2),
the exceptions to rebate set forth in Subsections 5.2(e)(i), (ii) and (iii) above shall apply
separately to the Non-Refunding Portion of the Obligations and the Refunding Portion of the
Obligations.

r
(i) $100,000 Bona Fide Debt Service Fund Gross Earnings Exception to
Rebate. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2 to the contrary, if the gross
earnings from the investments held in a Bona Fide Debt Service Fund for the bond year
in question, as determined under paragraph (c) above, are less than $100,000 then any
amount earned on such Bona Fide Debt Service Fund shall not be taken into account in
determining the Rebate Amount. In this regard, the $100,000 earnings limitation is
deemed satisfied if the annual debt service on the issue does not exceed$2,500,000. For
purposes of this paragraph,the term"gross earnings"means the aggregate amount earned
on the Nonpurpose Investment in which the Gross Proceeds deposited to a Bona Fide
Debt Service Fund are invested, including amounts earned on such amounts if allocated
to a Bona Fide Debt Service Fund.
(ii) Bona Fide Debt Service Fund Exception to Rebate. The average maturity
of the Obligations is not more than five (5) years and, as a result, the Obligations do not
qualify for the Bona Fide Debt Service Fund to rebate.
(iii) Six-Month Spending xception to Rebate. Notwithstanding anything in
this Section to the contrary, if all of the Gross Proceeds of the Obligations held in any
fund or account(other than the Gross Proceeds held in a Bona Fide Debt Service Fund or
any reasonably required reserve fund), including investment earnings received with
respect to such Gross Proceeds but excluding investment earnings received with respect
to such Gross Proceeds held in the Bona Fide Debt Service Fund, have been expended for
the governmental purpose of the Obligations within six (6)months (or ninety-five percent
(95%) within six (6) months and one hundred percent (100%) within one year) after the
Issue Date, then the only Nonpurpose Investments to be taken into account in the
calculation of the Rebate Amount are Nonpurpose Investments acquired with or allocated
to Gross Proceeds of the Obligations held in any reasonably required reserve fund and to
any Gross Proceeds of the Obligations arising after such six (6) months which were not
reasonably anticipated as of the Issue Date. The existence of sinking fund or pledged
fund proceeds or the expectation that such proceeds will arise within six (6) months of
the Issue Date will make the six-month spending exception to rebate inapplicable. For
purposes of this exception, Gross Proceeds used to pay principal of the Obligations are
not treated as expended on the governmental purpose of the Obligations. This exception
is available for the Gross Proceeds of the Obligations and the Issuer expects the
requirements of this exception to rebate to be met with respect to the Gross Proceeds of
the Obligations.
(iv) Eighteen-Month Spending Exception to Rebate. The Obligations are
treated as meeting the rebate requirement if Gross Proceeds of the Non-Refunding
Portion of the Obligations qualify for the initial temporary period under Treasury
Regulations §1.148-2(e)(2) and if the Gross Proceeds of the Non-Refunding Portion of
the Obligations (other than the Gross Proceeds held in a Bona Fide Debt Service Fund or
any reasonably required reserve fund and any Gross Proceeds of the Obligations arising
after eighteen (18) months after the Issue Date which were not reasonably anticipated as
of the Issue Date), including investment earnings received with respect to such Gross
Proceeds but excluding investment earnings received with respect to such Gross Proceeds
held in a debt service fund, have been expended for the governmental purpose of the
15
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
Obligations in accordance with the following schedule measured from the Issue Date: (i)
at least fifteen percent (15%) within six (6) months; (ii) at least sixty percent (60%)
within twelve (12) months; and (iii) one hundred percent (100%) within eighteen (18)
months;then the only Nonpurpose Investments to be taken into account in the calculation
of the Rebate Amount with respect to the Obligations are Nonpurpose Investments
acquired with or allocated to Gross Proceeds of the Obligations held in any reasonably
required reserve fund (there are none with respect to the Obligations), and to any Gross
Proceeds of the Obligations arising after such eighteen (18) months which were not
reasonably anticipated as of the Issue Date. This eighteen month spending exception to
rebate may not be used if Gross Proceeds of the Obligations are held in any fund such as
a sinking fund or pledged fund (other than a Bona Fide Debt Service Fund or any
reasonably required reserve fund) as of the Issue Date or if such Gross Proceeds of the
Obligations are expected to arise within eighteen (18) months of the Issue Date. For
purposes of this exception, Gross Proceeds of the Obligations used to pay principal of the
Obligations are not treated as expended on the governmental purpose of the Obligations.
For purposes of determining compliance with the first two spending periods, the amount
of Investment Proceeds included in Gross Proceeds of the Obligations is determined
based on the Issuer's reasonable expectations on the Issue Date. The spending
requirement for the third spending period is nevertheless satisfied if the Reasonable
Retainage is allocated to expenditures within thirty(30)months of the Issue Date.
(v) Two-Year Construction Bond Exception to Rebate. (A) A Construction
Issue is treated as meeting the rebate requirement for Available Construction Proceeds of
the Non-Refunding Portion of the Obligations if those proceeds are allocated to
expenditures for governmental purposes of the Non-Refunding Portion of the Obligations
in accordance with the following schedule, measured from the Issue Date of the
Obligations: (i) ten percent (10%) within six (6) months; (ii) forty-five percent (45%)
within twelve (12) months; (iii) seventy-five percent (75%) within eighteen(18) months;
and (iv) one hundred percent (100%) within twenty-four (24) months. The two-tear
construction bond exception to rebate is deemed satisfied if the unexpended amount does
not exceed the lesser of three percent (3%) of the Issue Price of the Obligations or
$250,000. The fourth spending requirement is considered satisfied if the unexpended
amount is attributable to a Reasonable Retainage and if such amount is allocated to
expenditures within three (3) years of the Issue Date. Expenditures for the governmental
purpose of an issue include payments for interest, but not principal, on the issue, and for
principal or interest on another issue of obligations,unless those payments cause the issue
to be a refunding issue. For purposes of determining compliance with the spending
requirements as of the close of each of the first three (3) spending periods, Available
Construction Proceeds include the amount of future earnings that the Issuer reasonably
expected as of the Issue Date of the Obligations. The spending requirement with respect
to the fourth and final spending period is measured by reference to actual earnings.
(B) In the event the Issuer fails to expend the Available Construction
Proceeds in accordance with the schedule set forth in (A) above, unless an election has
been made to pay the one and one half percent (1'/2%) penalty and/or the three percent
(39/o) penalty, all Gross Proceeds of the Obligations, not otherwise exempted from the
calculation of the Rebate Amount, will be taken into account in the calculation of the
16
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
Rebate Amount starting from the Issue Date. If an election has been made to bifurcate
the issue into a Construction Issue and a non-Construction Issue,the two (2)portions will
be treated as separate issues for purposes of computing the Rebate Amount as provided in
Section 5.2 hereof. An issue may not be bifurcated into a Construction Issue and an issue
which satisfies the eighteen month spending exception to rebate. In addition, an issue
may not be bifurcated to include Construction Expenditures in the non-Construction
Issue. An issue which comprises both refunding Obligations and new money Obligations
is considered to be bifurcated by operation of law.
(C) In connection with the two-year construction bond exception to
rebate, the Issuer hereby makes the following elections: (a) the Issuer reasonably expects
that at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Available Construction Proceeds will be
applied in respect of Construction Expenditures for property which is owned by a
Governmental Unit or a Tax-Exempt Organization; (b) the Issuer does not elect to
bifurcate the Obligations into a Construction Issue and a non-Construction Issue; (c) the
Issuer does not elect to pay the one and one-half percent (1%2%) penalty or the three
percent(3%)penalty at the close of each semi-annual spending period in respect of which
the spending requirement has not been satisfied; (d)the Issuer does not elect to include in
the two-year expenditure requirement investment earnings on any reserve fund as there'is
no such reserve fund with respect to the Obligations; (e) the Issuer elects to include in
Available Construction Proceeds the amount of earnings reasonably expected as of the
Issue Date of the Obligations to be received for the entire two-year period, for purpose of
calculating whether the relevant semi-annual expenditure requirements have been
satisfied; and (f)the Issuer elects to measure Available Construction Proceeds, for
purposes of meeting the spending requirements for the first three spending periods set
forth above, by reference to the amount of earnings the Issuer reasonably expects as of
the Issue Date of the Obligations for the entire two-year spending period, in lieu of actual
earnings and expected earnings as of the end of each spending period.
(D) The Issuer acknowledges that it may only avail itself of one of the
exceptions to rebate set forth in Subsections 5.3(e)(iv) and(v) above.
5.3. Rebate Options. With respect to the investment of the proceeds of the
Obligations,the Issuer will:
(a) comply with the requirements of the six-month spending exception to
rebate, the eighteen-month spending exception to rebate or the two-year construction bond
exception to rebate, and if it is unable to comply with any of such requirements, rebate arbitrage
earnings in accordance with the provisions of this Article;
(b) invest all Gross Proceeds of the Obligations at all times from the Issue
Date until expended in investments not constituting investment property for purposes of Code
§148 of the Code, such as obligations of a state or of a political subdivision of a state the interest
on which is excluded from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation under Code
§103 and is not a preference item for purposes of the alternative minimum tax imposed by Code
§55;
17
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
(c) invest all Gross Proceeds of the Obligations in obligations having a yield
that does not exceed the Bond Yield; or
(d) comply with the rebate provisions described in this Article.
5.4. Payment to the United States. (a) Unless the Obligations are redeemed
prior to such time, the Issuer will pay to the United States, not later than sixty (60) days after
each Installment Computation Date, an amount which, when added to previous rebate payments
made with respect to the Obligations, is equal to not less than ninety percent(90%) of the Rebate
Amount. The Issuer will pay to the United States, not later than sixty (60) days after the
Obligations are fully paid or redeemed, one hundred percent (100%) of the Rebate Amount. If
the final rebate payment is not made within sixty (60) days after the Final Computation Date,
interest on the Rebate Amount will be deemed to accrue at the underpayment rate under Code
§6621, beginning on the date the Rebate Amount is due and ending on the date ten (10) days
before it is paid.
(b) The Issuer will mail each payment to the Internal Revenue Service Center,
Ogden, Utah 84201 or such other address as the Treasury Regulations may require. Each
payment shall be accompanied by the Form 8038-T (or other prescribed form) and such
information and documents as the Treasury Regulations may require.
5.5. Rebate Regarding Prior Issue. The Issuer understands that it must make a
final rebate accounting and submit a Form 8038-T, if applicable, to the Internal Revenue Service
with any required rebate or penalty payments within sixty(60) days of the final redemption date
of each issue of the Prior Obligations being refunded with proceeds of the Obligations.
5.6. Engagement of Experts. The Issuer shall, before the date which is the
earlier of(i) the fifth (5h) anniversary of the Issue Date or (ii) the date of the last redemption of
the Obligations, engage Hawkins Delafield & Wood LLP or another firm nationally recognized
in the calculation of rebate to perform the calculations necessary to comply with the rebate
requirements of the Code with respect to the Obligations, including any exceptions thereto.
ARTICLE VI
ACCOUNTING FOR EXPENDITURES
6.1. Tax Accounting for Expenditures of Bond Proceeds. In general, any
reasonable, consistently applied accounting method may be used to account for expenditures of
proceeds of the Obligations for arbitrage and private activity bond compliance purposes under
Treasury Regulations §§1.148-6(d) and 1.141-6. Allocations for these two purposes must be
consistent with each other. Reasonable accounting methods for allocating funds from different
sources to expenditures for the same governmental purpose include any of the following methods
if consistently applied: a specific tracing method; a gross proceeds spent first method; a first-in,
first-out method; or a ratable allocation method. Subject to more restrictive special rules that
may apply to proceeds of the Obligations, such as the more restrictive special rules applicable to
expenditures of proceeds for Restricted Working Capital Expenditures (see, Bond-Proceeds-
Spent-Last Accounting Method), and except as otherwise noted in the immediately succeeding
18
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
sentence, the Issuer will use a specific tracing method, consistently applied, to account for
expenditures of proceeds of the Obligations for purposes of Code §§148 and 141. The
expenditure of money deposited to the Bona Fide Debt Service Fund shall be accounted for on
the basis of the first-in,first-out method of accounting.
(a) Extraordinary Working Capital Items. Gross Proceeds of an issue used for
expenditures for extraordinary,non-recurring items that are not customarily payable from current
revenues, such as casualty losses or extraordinary legal judgments in amounts in excess of
reasonable insurance coverage, or the payments of Extraordinary Working Capital Expenditure.
The exception set forth in the preceding sentence shall apply only if the Issuer or a related party
does not otherwise maintain a reserve for such items or set aside other available amounts for
such expenses. No portion of the proceeds of the Obligations will be used to pay Extraordinary
Working Capital Items.
(b) Grants. Gross Proceeds of an issue used to make a grant(Le., a transfer of
money by the Issuer to a transferee that is neither a member of the Issuer's Controlled Group nor
an agent of the Issuer) that imposes on the transferee no obligation or condition to repay any
amount to the Issuer. In this regard, obligations or conditions intended solely to assure the
expenditure of transferred money in accordance with the governmental purpose of the transfer do
not prevent a transfer from qualifying as a grant. The Issuer understands that in the unexpected
event that a repayment is made with respect to a bond-financed grant, the repaid amount is
treated as unspent proceeds of the Obligations as of the repayment date unless expended within
sixty(60) days of the repayment. The amount of grants not meeting the definition above will not
be considered expended until expended by the ultimate recipient. No portion of the proceeds of
the Obligations will be applied to finance a grant.
(c) Costs of Issuance and De Minimis Working Capital Items. Gross
Proceeds of an issue used for costs of issuance, administrative costs; qualified guarantees or
hedges; payments of interest on the issue for a period commencing the date hereof and ending on
the later of three (3) years from the date hereof or one (1) year after the date the Projects are
placed in service; rebate or penalty or yield reduction payments;payments of principal or interest
on an issue paid from unexpected excess sale or investment proceeds; and principal or interest on
an issue paid from investment earnings on a reserve or replacement fund that are deposited in a
Bona Fide Debt Service Fund, and Gross Proceeds of an issue used for working capital not in
excess of five percent(5%) of the Sale Proceeds of the Obligations that are directly related to the
Capital Expenditures financed by the Obligations may be considered spent for arbitrage purposes
on a specific tracing accounting method.
(d) Exception for Commingled Investment Proceeds. Investment proceeds of
the Obligations that are deposited into the Issuer's General Fund or other funds and that are
commingled with substantial tax or other revenues from the governmental operations of the
Issuer may be treated as allocated to expenditures for a governmental purpose if such Investment
Proceeds are expected to be spent within six(6)months from the date of commingling.
(e) Allocations of Proceeds to Expenditures. It is understood that any
allocations of the proceeds of the Obligations to expenditures herein are preliminary. Pursuant to
Treasury Regulations §§1.141-6(a) and 1.148-6(d)(1)(iii), within eighteen (18) months after the
19
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
later of the date on which an expenditure of proceeds of the Obligations is made or, if later in the
case of an expenditure for a Capital Project, if any, the Capital Project is placed in service, the
Issuer will make a final allocation of the actual amount of proceeds used for that expenditure by
the Issuer. In any event, such allocation must be made by the date sixty (60) days after the fifth
(5t') anniversary of the Issue Date or the date sixty (60) days after the retirement of the
Obligations, if earlier. The Issuer reserves the authority to change any allocation of proceeds to
expenditures and the authority to change the method of accounting of proceeds for the entire
period permitted under Treasury Regulations §§1.141-6 and 1.148-6 and other applicable
Treasury Regulations.
6.2. Related Parties and Expenditures. In general, for purposes of tracking
investments and expenditures of Gross Proceeds of the Obligations to ensure compliance with
the arbitrage restrictions under Code §148 and the Treasury Regulations,the Issuer will continue
to track investments of proceeds of the Obligations and expenditures of the proceeds of the
Obligations until paid to parties that are not Related Parties. The Issuer understands that, for
arbitrage purposes under Treasury Regulations §1.148-6(d)(7), unless otherwise within Section
6.3 of this Tax Certificate, any payment of Gross Proceeds of the Obligations to a Related Party
of the payer is not an expenditure of those Gross Proceeds for arbitrage investment tracking
purposes. Further in-this regard, for purposes of determining whether the Issuer and another
entity are Related Parties, a special rule under Treasury Regulations §1.150-1(e)(3)provides that
a general purpose governmental entity with its own substantial taxing, eminent domain, and
police powers is an uncontrolled entity(e.g., a city possessing substantial amounts of each of the
referenced sovereign powers is not a controlled entity of a state).
6.3. Expenditures on a Reimbursement Basis of Eligible Original Expenditures Paid
Before Issue Date. A portion of the proceeds of the Obligations, in the amount of$115,455.00,
will be used to reimburse the Issuer for expenditures incurred and paid thereby with respect to
the Projects in anticipation of the issuance of the Obligations. Treasury Regulations §1.150-2
provides that proceeds of Tax-Exempt Obligations may be spent on a "reimbursement" basis to
reimburse certain eligible types of original expenditures originally paid before the date of
issuance of Obligations from other funds. To qualify for reimbursement, the following
requirements must be satisfied:
(a) Official Intent. Not later than sixty(60) days after payment of the original
expenditure, the Issuer must adopt an "official intent" that satisfies the reimbursement rules (a
"Declaration of Official Intent"). The Declaration of Official Intent may be made in any
reasonable form, including a resolution, an action by an appropriate representative of the Issuer
(e.g., a person authorized or designated to declare official intent on behalf of the Issuer), or
specific legislative authorization for the issuance of the Obligations for a particular project. The
Declaration of Official Intent generally must describe the project for which the original
expenditure is paid and state the maximum principal amount of the Obligations to be issued for
that-project. A project includes any property,project, or program(e.g., building construction).
(b) Reimbursement Period. Any reimbursement of original expenditures from
proceeds of the Obligations must be made not later than eighteen(18)months after the later of(i)
the date the original expenditure is paid; or (ii) the date, the project is placed in service or
abandoned,but in no event later than three(3)years after the original expenditure is paid.
20
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
(c) Eligible Types of Reimbursement Expenditures. Types of expenditures
eligible for reimbursement include expenditures for a Capital Project, De Minimis Working
Capital Items, Extraordinary Working Capital Items and Grants (but not Restricted Working
Capital Expenditures).
(d) Exception for De Minimis Amounts. Proceeds of the Obligations in an
amount not to exceed the lesser of$100,000 or five percent(5%) may be used to reimburse costs
of the Projects,notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 6.3(a) and(b).
(e) _Preliminary Expenditures. Treasury Regulations §1.150-2(f)(2)provides a
special exception to the official intent requirement for reimbursing certain prescribed
"preliminary expenditures." Preliminary expenditures include architectural, engineering,
surveying, soil testing, reimbursement bond issuance, and similar costs that are incurred prior to
commencement of acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of a Capital Project, but
preliminary expenditures do not include land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs
incident to commencement of construction. Eligible preliminary expenditures cannot exceed
twenty percent(20%) of the Issue Price of the Obligations.
(f) Anti-Abuse Rules. None of the proceeds of the Obligations are being used
in a manner that employs an abusive arbitrage device under Treasury Regulations §1.148-10 to
avoid the arbitrage restrictions or to avoid the restriction under Code §§142 through 147. No
portion of the reimbursed funds may be used by the Issuer or any Related Party thereto, within
one (1)year of the reimbursement allocation,to create Replacement Proceeds for any tax-exempt
obligations of the Issuer(e.g.,the Issuer cannot deposit the reimbursement amounts in a"sinking
fund"or"pledged fund"for any outstanding bond issue).
6.4. Seaeaated Accounts, Investment Records and Documentation of Expenditures.
The Issuer will segregate or cause the segregation of all proceeds in one or more segregated
accounts and will maintain necessary investment and expenditure records in order to assure
compliance with the federal tax requirements for the Obligations and will segregate or cause the
segregation of proceeds prior to expenditures for governmental purposes in segregated accounts
and will maintain necessary investment and expenditure records for such purposes, including,
without limitation,the following:
(a) investment records necessary to show compliance with any
applicable restrictions as to Yield, to compute the Rebate Amount, and to demonstrate
compliance with any applicable spending exceptions or other requirements under Code
§148; and
(b) expenditure records necessary to show the times, amounts and
purposes for which the proceeds are spent on Capital Projects for governmental purposes
or otherwise.

ARTICLE VII
DEBT SERVICE
7.1. Source of Repayment of Obligations. The principal of and interest on the
Obligations (to the extent not paid from proceeds of other Tax-Exempt Obligations of the Issuer)
will be paid from the Issuer's taxes and revenues.
7.2. Debt Service Fund The taxes and revenues used to pay principal and
interest on the Obligations,,whether or not deposited in a Bona Fide Debt Service Fund, will be'
expended within thirteen (13) months of the date of deposit in such fund, or the date of their
accumulation. Any amounts received from the investment of such deposit or accumulation will
be expended within one (1) year of receipt. The Bona Fide Debt Service Fund, if any, will be
used to achieve a proper matching of revenues and debt service and will be depleted at least
annually except for a reasonable carryover amount which will not exceed the greater of the
earnings on such fund for the immediately preceding bond year or one-twelfth of the debt service
on the Obligations for the immediately preceding bond year. So long as the foregoing conditions
are satisfied, amounts in the Bona Fide Debt Service Fund may be invested until expended
without Yield Restriction.
7.3. Sinking Funds. Except for the Bona Fide Debt Service Fund described
herein, the Issuer has not created or established, and does not expect to create or establish, any
sinking fund, debt service reserve fund, pledged fund or other similar fund which the Issuer
reasonably expects to use to pay principal or interest on the Obligations, including without
limitation, any arrangement under which money, securities or obligations pledged directly or
indirectly to secure the Obligations or any contract securing the Obligations or any arrangement
providing for compensating balances to be maintained by the Issuer with any holder of the
Obligations.
7.4. No Negative Pledges. There are no amounts held under any agreement to
maintain amounts at a particular level for the direct or indirect benefit of the holders of the
Obligations or guarantor of the Obligations, if any, excluding for this purpose amounts in which
the Issuer (or a substantial beneficiary) may grant rights that are superior to the rights of the
holders of the Obligations or guarantor of the Obligations,if any, and amounts that do not exceed
reasonable needs for which they are maintained and as to which the required level is tested no
more frequently than every six (6) months and that may be spent without any substantial
restriction other than a requirement to replenish the amount by the next testing date.
ARTICLE VIII

earnings on the issue price and on amounts in any reserve fund not funded from bond proceeds,
and earnings on such earnings and (ii) less the amount of the issue price representing a
reasonably required reserve or replacement fund and costs of issuance funded with proceeds
received from the sale of the Obligations. For purposes of this definition earnings include
earnings on any Tax-Exempt Obligation. If only a portion of the Obligations constitutes a
Construction Issue, a pro-rata portion of the above-described amount will constitute Available
Construction Proceeds. Pre-issuance accrued interest and earnings thereon may be disregarded.
"Bona Fide Debt Service Fund"means a fund, which may include proceeds of an issue,
that is used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues with principal and interest
payments within each Bond Year and is depleted at least once each Bond Year except for a
reasonable carry over amount (not in excess of the earnings on the fund for the immediately
preceding Bond Year or one-twelfth of the principal and interest payments on the issue for the
immediately preceding Bond Year).
"Bond Counsel" means Hawkins Delafield & Wood LLP, or any nationally recognized
attorney or firm of attorneys knowledgeable in the requirements of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations and retained by the Issuer.
"Bond-Proceeds-Spent-Last Accounting Method" shall mean the required accounting
method for spending proceeds of an issue on Restricted Working Capital Expenditures under,
Treasury Regulations §1.148-6(d)(3), which treats proceeds as spent on a date only to the extent
that the Working Capital Expenditures exceed available amounts, taking into account the
treatment of a reasonable working capital reserve as unavailable, with the determination of
available amounts and reasonable working capital reserves being made in the manner set forth in
the Treasury Regulations.
"Bond Year" means each one (1)year period that ends on the day selected by the Issuer.
The first Bond Year and the last Bond Year may be short periods. If the Issuer has not selected a
day before the earlier of the final maturity date of the issue or five (5) years after the Issue Date,
Bond Year shall mean any year ending on the anniversary of the Issue Date and on the final
maturity date.
"Bond Yield" means the yield on the Obligations as defined in Section 4.2 of this Tax
Certificate.
"Capital Expenditure" means any cost of a type that is property chargeable to the

definition of placed in service under Treasury Regulations §1.150-2(c)) under general federal
income tax principles. Capital Expenditures include amounts used for construction,
reconstruction or rehabilitation of buildings or other inherently permanent structures, including
items that are structural components of such buildings or structures, and architectural and
A-1
2366379.1038723 TAGMT
engineering fees, site survey fees, legal expenses, insurance premiums and development fees to
the extent such fees and expenses directly relate to other construction costs.
"Capital Project" shall mean all Capital Expenditures, plus related working capital
expenditures to which the de minimis rule under Treasury Regulations §1.148-6(d)(3)(ii)(A)
applies,that carry out the governmental purposes of an issue.

"Computation Date" means each Installment Computation Date and the Final
Computation Date.
"Computation Date Credit"means, for any issue of obligations, an amount equal to the
Future Value of $1,620 for each Bond Year during which there are gross proceeds of the
Obligations on a Computation Date other than the Final Computation Date, and $1,620 on the
Final Computation Date. The foregoing computation credit is subject to an annual inflation-
based adjustment announced by the IRS.
"Computation Period" shall mean the period between Computation Dates. The first
Computation Period begins on the Issue Date and ends on the first Computation Date; each
succeeding Computation Period begins on the date immediately following the Computation Date
and ends on the next Computation Date.
"Construction Expenditures" shall mean, except as otherwise provided, Capital
Expenditures allocable to the cost of real property or constructed personal property.
Construction Expenditures do not include expenditures for acquisitions of interests in land or
other existing real property, unless the contract between the seller and the Issuer requires the
seller to build or install the property (e.g., a "turnkey contract"), but only to the extent that the
property has not been built or installed at the time the parties enter into the contract.
For purposes of this definition "constructed personal property" means tangible personal
property (or, if acquired pursuant to a single acquisition contract, properties) or so-called

rehabilitation commenced or the date the Issuer entered into an acquisition contract; (B)based on
reasonable expectations of the'Issuer, if any, or representations of the person constructing the
property, with the exercise of due diligence, completion of construction or rehabilitation (and
delivery to the Issuer) could not have occurred within that six (6) month period; and (C) if the
Issuer itself builds or rehabilitates the property, not more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the
capitalizable cost is attributable to property acquired by the Issuer (e.g., components, raw
materials, and other supplies). "Specially developed computer software"means any programs or
routines used to cause a computer to perform a desired task or set of tasks, and the
documentation required to describe and maintain those programs, provided that the software is
specially developed and is functionally related and subordinate to the real property or other

non-ministerial: the right or power (i) both to approve and to remove without cause a controlling
portion of the governing body of the controlled entity, or (ii)to require the use of funds or assets
of the controlled entity for any purpose of the controlling entity. If one entity (the "Controlling

controls any entity controlled directly or indirectly by such Controlled Entity. However, an
entity is not a Controlled Entity if it possesses substantial taxing, eminent domain and police
powers.

Value of an Investment is the price at which a willing buyer would purchase the
Investment from a willing seller in a bona fide, arm's-length transaction.
(b) United States Treasury Obligation The Fair Market Value of a United
States Treasury Obligation that is purchased directly from the United States Treasury is
its purchase price.
(c) Certificate of Deposit The Fair Market Value of a certificate of deposit
with a fixed interest rate, a fixed payment schedule, and a substantial penalty for early
withdrawal is its purchase price provided the yield on the certificate of deposit is not less
than(i)the yield on reasonably comparable direct obligations of the United States and(ii)
the highest yield published by the provider and currently available from the provider on
reasonably comparable certificates of deposit offered to the public.
(d) Guaranteed Investment Contracts and Yield Restricted Defeasance
Escrows. The Fair Market Value of a guaranteed investment contract or an investment
purchased for a yield restricted defeasance escrow is its purchase price, provided the
issuer of the Obligations makes a bona fide solicitation for such contract that satisfies all
of the following requirements:
(i) The bid specifications are in writing and are timely forwarded to potential
providers.
A-4
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
(ii) The bid specifications include all material terms of the bid; material terms
are defined as terms that may directly or indirectly affect the yield or cost
of the investment.
(iii) The bid specifications include a statement notifying potential providers
that submission of a bid is a representation that the potential provider did
not consult with any other potential provider about its bid,that the bid was
determined without regard to any other formal or informal agreement that
the potential provider has with the issuer or any other person (whether or
not in connection with the bond issue), and that the bid is not being
submitted solely as a courtesy to the issuer or any other person for
purposes of satisfying the requirements of the applicable provisions of the
Treasury Regulations.
(iv) The terms of the bid specifications are commercially reasonable, i.e., there
is a legitimate business purpose for the term other than to increase the
purchase price or reduce the yield of the investment (for example, for
solicitations of investments for a yield restricted defeasance escrow, the
hold firm period must be no longer than the issuer reasonably requires).
(v) With respect to purchases of guaranteed investment contracts only, the
terms of the solicitation take into account the issuer's reasonably expected
deposit and drawdown schedule for the amounts to be invested.
(vi) All potential providers have an equal opportunity to bid, for example, no
potential provider is given the opportunity to review other bids (i.e., a"last
look")before providing a bid.
(vii) At least three reasonably competitive providers are solicited for bids;
reasonably competitive provider is a provider that has an established
industry reputation as a competitive provider of the investments being
purchased.
The bids received must meet all of the following requirements:
(i) The issuer receives at least three bids from providers that the issuer
solicited under a bona fide solicitation, which bids meet the requirements
set forth immediately above and that do not have a material financial
interest in the issue. A lead underwriter in a negotiated underwriting
transaction is deemed to have a material financial interest in the issue until
fifteen (15) days after the Issue Date. In addition, any entity acting as
financial advisor with respect to the purchase of the investment at the time
the bid specifications are forwarded to potential providers has a material
financial interest in the issue. A provider that is a related party to a person
that has a material financial interest in the issue is deemed to have a
material financial interest in the issue.
A-5
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
(ii) At least one of the three bids received is from a reasonably competitive
provider of such types of investments, as described in paragraph (vii)
above.
(iii) If the issuer uses an agent to conduct the bidding process,the agent did not
bid to provide the investment.
The winning bid must be:
(i) In the context of a guaranteed investment contract, the highest yielding
bona fide bid(determined net of any broker's fees).
(ii) In the context of investments other than guaranteed investment contracts,
the lowest cost bona fide bid (including any broker's fees). The lowest
cost bid is either the lowest cost bid for the portfolio or if the issuer
compares the bids on an investment by investment basis, the aggregate
cost of a portfolio comprised of the lowest cost for each investment. Any
payment received by the issuer from a provider at the time the investment
is purchased (e.g., an escrow float contract) for a yield restricted
defeasance escrow under a bidding procedure meeting the requirements of
this definition is taken into account in determining the lowest cost bid.
In general, the lowest cost bona fide bid (including any broker's fee) may not be
greater than the cost of the most efficient portfolio comprised exclusively of SLGS
available for purchase from the Bureau of Public Debt. The cost of the most efficient
portfolio of SLGS is to be determined at the time that bids are required to be submitted
pursuant to-the terms of the bid specifications. This requirement to compare to the most
efficient SLGS portfolio does not apply if SLGS are not available for purchase on the
date that bids are required to be submitted because sales of those securities have been
suspended.
The provider of the investments or the obligor on the guaranteed investment
contract certifies the administrative costs,that it pays (or expects to pay), if any, to third
parties in connection with supplying the investment.
The issuer must retain the following records with the bond documents until three
years after the last outstanding bond is redeemed:
(i) For guaranteed investment contracts, a copy of the contract, and for other
types of purchases,the purchase agreement or confirmation.
(ii) The receipt or other record of the amount actually paid by the issuer for
the investment, including a record of any administrative costs paid by the
issuer to third parties and the certification of such costs.
(iii) For each bid that is submitted, the name of the person and entity
submitting the bid,the time and date of the bid and the bid results.
A-6
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
(iv) The bid solicitation form and, if the terms of the purchase agreement or
the guaranteed investment contract deviated from the bid solicitation form
or a submitted bid is modified, a brief statement explaining the deviation
and stating the purpose of the deviation. If the issuer replaces an
investment in the winning bid portfolio with another investment, the
purchase price of the investment must be bid under a bidding procedure
meeting the requirements of this definition.
(v) For purchases of investments other than guaranteed investment contracts,
the most efficient portfolio of SLGS, determined at the time that the bids
were required to be submitted pursuant to the terms of the bid
specifications.

using the economic accrual method (the method of computing yield based on the compounding
of interest at the end of each compounding period), equal to the value of such payment or receipt
at the time it is paid or received (or treated as paid or received), plus interest assumed to be
earned and compounded over the period at a rate equal to the yield on the bonds,using the same
compounding interval and financial conventions used to compute yield.
"Governmental Bonds" mean bonds issued as part of an issue the interest on which is
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Code §103(a) and which are
not Qualified Private Activity Bonds or Qualified 501(c)(3)Bonds.

which exceeds the yield on the Obligations by more than the spread permitted by the Code and
Treasury Regulations.
"Installment Computation Date" shall mean any date with respect to a Fixed Yield

Bond Year ending on or before the latest date as of which the first Rebate Amount is required to
be paid (i.e., as of not later than the fifth anniversary date of the date of issuance of the
Obligations) as a Computation Date, but may not change that treatment after the first payment
date; and, after the first required payment date,the Issuer must consistently treat either the end of
each Bond Year or the end of each fifth Bond Year as a Computation Date and may not change
these Computation Dates after the first required payment date. Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing, the first rebate installment payment must be made on a Computation Date that is not
later than five (5) years after the Issue Date. Subsequent rebate installment payments must be
made for a Computation Date that is not later than five (5) years after the previous Computation
Date for which an installment payment was made (until and excluding the Final Computation
Date). The references herein to the date on which rebate is required to be paid allude to the
actual date as of which the Rebate Amount is required to be calculated and not the 60-day grace
period following such date during which the Rebate Amount, if any, is to be paid.
"Investment" means (i) any security (within the meaning of Code §165(g)(2)(A) or (B),

investing proceeds of the Obligations.
"Issue Price" shall mean the initial offering price to the public at which price a
substantial amount of each maturity of the Obligations was sold. �Ten percent (10%) is a
substantial amount. For this purpose, the term "the public' does not include bond houses,
brokers, or similar Persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers.
The Issue Price generally is the first price at which the Obligations were sold to the public and
the Issue Price will not change if part of the issue is subsequently sold at a different price. The
Issue Price of Obligations that are not substantially identical is determined separately. The Issue
Price of a bond issue for which a bona fide public offering is made is determined as of the sale
date based on reasonable expectations regarding the initial public offering price. The Issue Price
of the Obligations may not exceed their Fair Market Value as of their sale date. If the
obligations are privately placed,the Issue Price is the price paid for them by the first buyer.
"Multipurpose Issue" means an issue the proceeds of which are used for two or more
separate purposes determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations §1.148-9(h).
A-8
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT

§145.
"Qualified Administrative Costs"mean:
(i) In General. All reasonable, direct administrative costs, other than carrying
costs, such as separately stated brokerage or selling commissions, but not legal and
accounting fees, record keeping, custody, and similar costs. General overhead costs and
similar indirect costs of the Issuer such as employee salaries and office expenses and
costs associated with computing the Rebate Amount are not qualified administrative
costs. In general, administrative costs are not reasonable unless they are comparable to
administrative costs that would be charged for the same investment or a reasonably
comparable investment if acquired with a source of funds other than gross proceeds of
Tax-Exempt Obligations.
(ii) Regulated Investment Companies and External Commingled Funds. For
publicly offered regulated investment companies (as defined in Code §67(c)(2)(B)) and

are all reasonable administrative costs, without regard to the limitation on indirect costs
described in the preceding paragraph.
(iii) GICs and Investments Purchased for a Yield Restricted Defeasance
Escrow. An amount paid for a broker's commission or similar fee paid with respect to a
guaranteed investment contract or investments purchased for a yield restricted defeasance
escrow will be considered reasonable if(i) the fee does not exceed the lesser of$38,000
or 0.2 percent of the "computational base", or, if more, $4,000, where "computational
base" means (A) for a guaranteed investment contract, the amount reasonably expected,
as of the date the contract is acquired, to be deposited in the guaranteed investment
contract over the term of the contract and (B) for yield restricted defeasance escrows, the
amount of proceeds initially invested in those investments; and (ii) for any issue, the fees
paid, do not exceed $108,000 in the aggregate. In the case of a calendar year after 2014,
each of the dollar amounts set forth above shall be increased by an amount equal to such
dollar amount multiplied by the cost of living adjustment for such calendar year as

(iv) Purpose Investments. Qualified Administrative Costs include costs or
expenses paid, directly or indirectly, to purchase, carry, sell, or retire the investment,
costs of issuing, carrying, or repaying the issue, and any underwriters' discount, any of
which are paid by the conduit borrower, even if such payments merely reimburse the
Issuer, but only to the extent the Present Value of those payments does not exceed the
Present Value of the reasonable administrative costs paid by the Issuer using the Bond
Yield as the discount rate.
(v) Program Investments. Qualified Administrative Costs include only costs
of issuing, carrying, or repaying the issue, and any underwriters' discount, subject to the
limitation contained in the preceding paragraph.
A-10
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
"Qualified Guarantee" means, with respect to a bond, an unconditional transfer, in any
form, of substantially all of the credit risk for all or part of the payments, such as payments for
principal and interest, redemption prices or tender prices, on the guaranteed bonds. The
guarantor must not expect to make any payments other than those pursuant to a direct-pay letter
of credit or similar arrangement for which the guarantor will be immediately reimbursed.
Reasonable procedural or administrative requirements or, in the case of a guarantee against
failure to remarket a qualified tender bond, commercially reasonable limitations based on credit
risk, will not cause the guarantee to be conditional. The guarantor may not be a co-obligor, nor
may the obligor and any related parties combined use more than ten percent of proceeds of the
guaranteed portion of the bonds. The guaranteeTee must not exceed a reasonable arm's-length
charge solely for the transfer of the credit risk. A guarantee will not be qualified unless, as of the
date the guarantee is obtained,the Issuer reasonably expects that the present value of all fees for
the guarantee will be less than the present value of the expected interest savings on the issue as a
result of the guarantee. For this purpose, present value is computed using the yield on the issue,
determined with regard to the guarantee fees, as the discount rate.
"Qualified Hedge" means, with respect to the Obligations, a contract between the Issuer
and any unrelated party entered into to modify the Issuer's risk of interest rate changes with
respect to the Obligations that meets the requirements of Treasury Regulations §1.148-4(h). The
contract may be an interest rate swap, an interest rate cap, a futures contract, a forward contract,
an option or may take another form.
"Rebate Amount" means with respect to the Obligations, the amount computed as
described in Section 5.2(d) of this Tax Certificate.
"Replacement'Proceeds" means amounts which have a sufficiently direct nexus to the
issue or the governmental purpose of the issue to conclude that the amounts would have been
used for that governmental purpose if the proceeds of the issue were not used for that
governmental purpose. The governmental purpose of a bond issue includes the expected use of
amounts for the payment of debt service on a particular date. For this purpose, the mere
availability or preliminary earmarking of amounts for a purpose does not in and of itself establish
a sufficient nexus to cause those amounts to be Replacement Proceeds. Replacement Proceeds
include funds and amounts held by the Issuer including:
(i) sinking funds, such as debt service funds,redemption funds,reserve funds,
replacement funds, or any other fund, to the extent reasonably expected to be used
directly or indirectly to pay principal or interest on the Obligations;
(ii) pledged funds, any amount directly or indirectly pledged to pay principal
or interest on`the Obligations, cast in any form but providing reasonable assurance that
such amount will be available to pay principal or interest on the Obligations, even if the
Issuer encounters financial difficulty;
(iii) negative pledges, amounts held under an agreement to maintain such
amount at a particular level for the direct or indirect benefit of holders or a guarantor of
the Obligations, excluding amounts the Issuer, or, a Controlled Entity of the Issuer may
grant rights in superior to the rights of the bondholders or the guarantor and amounts not
A-11
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
in excess of the reasonable needs for which it is maintained,the required level of which is
tested no more frequently than every six(6)months and which may be spent without any
substantial restriction other than a requirement to replenish such amount by the next
testing date; and
(iv) other replacement proceeds, including amounts arising during a period
that the Obligations, to the extent reasonably expected by the Issuer as of the issue date,
remain outstanding longer than necessary and amounts arising to the extent proceeds of
the Obligations are used to finance a working capital reserve unless all of the Net Sale
Proceeds of the Obligations are spent within six (6) months of their issue date, or meet
the "small governmental issuer" exception to rebate or the Issuer traditionally maintained
a working capital reserve. The amount of the working capital reserve maintained is the
average amount so maintained during annual periods of at least one year, the last of
which ends within a year of the issue date.
"Restricted Working Capital Expenditures" means Working Capital Expenditures
subject to the Bond-Proceeds-Spent-Last Accounting Method in Treasury Regulations
§1.148-6(d)(3)(i) and that are ineligible for any exception to that rule.
"Sale Proceeds" means any amounts actually or constructively received from the sale of
the Obligations, including amounts used to pay underwriters' discount or compensation, accrued
interest other than pre-issuance accrued interest, or derived from the sale of a right associated
with a bond as further described in Treasury Regulations §1.148-4(b)(4).

United States of America or any state thereof which is an organization described in Code
§501(c)(3) and exempt from federal income taxes under Code §501(a), or corresponding
provisions of federal income tax laws from time to time in effect.
"TRAM Expenditure Safe Harbor" means the safe harbor set forth in Code
§148(f)(B)(iii) pursuant to which proceeds of issues of tax or revenue anticipation notes
("TRANs") and that meet the conditions described in Subsection 5.2(e)(iii)(A) hereof are
deemed spent within six(6)months of the date of issue of the TRANs.
"Transferred Proceeds" means unexpended original or investment proceeds of a
refunded issue which transfer and become proceeds of the refunding issue when proceeds of the
refunding issue are applied to pay principal of the refunded issue.

Obligations of the issue. Nonpurpose Investments shall be taken into account as Nonpurpose
Receipts at their Value on a Valuation Date.
"Valuation Date" means the date on which the value of the Universal Cap and the
Nonpurpose Investments allocable to the Obligations thereunder are determined. With respect to
new money issues, the first Valuation Date shall be the second year anniversary date of the Issue

Date. With respect to a refunding issue, each date on which proceeds of the refunded issue
would become transferred proceeds of the refunding issue, e.g., each date on which principal of
the refunded issue is paid with proceeds of the refunding Obligations, shall constitute a
Valuation Date. In addition,the first date of each Bond Year shall also be a Valuation Date.
"Value" means, in the case of a bond, the Value of the bond and in the case of an
Investment,the Value of the Investment.
"Value of a Bond" means, in the case of a Plain Par Bond, its outstanding stated
principal amount, plus accrued unpaid interest or in the case of a Plain Par Bond actually
redeemed, or treated as redeemed, its stated redemption price on the redemption date plus
accrued'unpaid interest. In the case of a bond other than a Plain Par Bond,the value on a date of
such a bond is its Present Value on that date, using the yield on the issue of which the bonds are
a part as the discount factor. In determining the Present Value of a variable rate bond, the initial
interest rate on the bond established by the index or other rate setting mechanism is used to
determine the interest payments on that bond.
"Value of an Investment" means, on any date means, as permitted or required, the
Present Value or the Fair Market Value of the Investment or its outstanding principal amount.
Paragraphs (a) through (f) below specify the valuation methods required or permitted to be used
for the Investments listed:
(a) Fixed Rate Investments. A Fixed Rate Investment may be valued at its
Present Value or at its Fair Market Value on any date unless it is required to be invested
at a restricted yield.
(b) Plain Par Investments. A Plain Par Investment may be valued at its
outstanding stated principal amount on any date (plus interest accrued but unpaid on that
date)unless it is required to be invested at a restricted yield.
(c) Any Investment Any Investment may be valued at its Fair Market Value
on any date unless it is required to be invested at a restricted yield.
A-13
2366379.1038723 TAGMT
(d) Yield Restricted Investments. An Investment required to be invested at a
restricted yield (for example, an Investment held after the expiration of the applicable
investment temporary period) must be valued at its Present Value as of any date unless
the Investment is required to be valued at Fair Market Value as provided in paragraph (e)
below.
(e) Mandatory Valuation at Fair Market Value. Subject to paragraph (d)
above, Investments deemed to be acquired or disposed of with respect to Obligations (as
a result; for example, of sinking fund deposits or withdrawals) must be valued on the
deemed acquisition or disposition date at Fair Market Value unless (i)the Investment was
allocated from one issue of Tax-Exempt Obligations to another as Transferred Proceeds
or as a result of the application of the Universal Cap rule in which case it may be valued
at Present Value or (ii) the Investment is held in a commingled fund (other than a bona
fide debt service fund or a commingled fund that operates exclusively as a reserve fund,
sinking fund or replacement fund for two or more issues of the Issuer) unless it is an
investment being initially deposited in or withdrawn from a commingled fund.
(f) Special Rule for Transferred Proceeds. Notwithstanding any matter stated
above, the Value of any Nonpurpose Investment allocable to Transferred Proceeds of an
issue of refunding obligations may not exceed the Value of that Investment used for
purposes of applying the arbitrage restrictions to the refunded obligations on the date
proceeds of the refunding obligations are used to redeem the refunded obligations.
"Working Capital Expenditure" means any cost of a type that does not constitute a
Capital Expenditure.
"Yield" means, as of any Computation Date, the yield computed on an issue of
obligations under Treasury Regulations §1.148-4 and on an Investment under Treasury
Regulations §1.148-5 in either case by compounding interest at the end of each compounding
interval as further described in paragraphs (a) and(b)below:
(a) When used with respect to a Fixed Yield Issue, yield means that discount
rate that, when used in computing the Present Value of (i) all unconditionally payable
payments of principal and interest of or on the bonds included in such Fixed Yield Issue,
(ii) all unconditionally payable fees for Qualified Guarantees and Qualified Hedges on
such bonds and (iii) all fees expected to be paid for Qualified Guarantees and Qualified
Hedges,produces an amount equal to the sum of the Present Value of the aggregate issue
prices of the bonds comprising the issue (determined using the same discount rate used to
determine the Present Value of payments for principal, interest and Qualified Hedges and
Qualified Guarantees). The yield is computed as of the issue date of the Fixed Yield
Issue by treating each bond included in the issue that is either subject to mandatory or
contingent early redemption or to certain optional redemption provisions as being
redeemed on its expected early redemption date for an amount equal to its Value on that
date. If a Fixed Yield Bonds (i)is subject to optional redemptions within five years of its
issue date and the yield not taking into account the optional redemption is more than one-
eighth of one percent (0.125%) above its yield assuming the early redemption, (ii)is
issued at an issue price that exceeds the stated redemption price at maturity by more than
A-14
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
r
one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) multiplied by the product of the stated redemption
price to maturity and the number of complete years to the first optional redemption date
for the bond, or (iii)bears interest at increasing interest rates, the yield on the issue
including such Fixed Yield Bonds is computed by treating the Fixed Yield Bonds as
redeemed at its stated redemption price on the optional redemption date that produces the
lowest yield on the issue. No adjustment will be made on any Computation Date to the
yield on a Fixed Yield Issue as computed on its issue date unless redemption rights are
subsequently transferred to a third party or termination payments are received with
respect to Qualified Hedges. The yield on a Fixed Yield Bonds is calculated in the same
manner as yield on a Fixed Yield Issue.
(b) When used with respect to any Investment allocated to an Issue, yield
means the yield on the Investment computed using the same compounding interval and
financial conventions used to calculate the yield on the issue of obligations to whicl�it is
allocated. The yield on an Investment allocated to an issue is the discount rate that,when
used on the date the Investment is first purchased with Gross Proceeds or allocated to
Gross Proceeds of the issue to compute the Present Value on that date of all
unconditionally payable Nonpurpose Receipts from the Investment, produces an amount
equal to the Present Value on that date of all unconditionally payable Nonpurpose
Payments for the Investment.
"Yield Reduction Payments" means periodic payments made on Installment
Computation Dates with respect to certain Investments subject to yield restriction which are
treated as a payment for such Investments that reduces the Yield on such Investment,made to the
United States under Treasury Regulations §1.148-5(c). Yield reduction payments may be made
with respect to (a) Investments allocable to proceeds eligible for a temporary period after such
temporary period has expired, (b) investments allocable to a Variable Yield Issue during any
Computation Period in which at least five percent of the issue is represented by variable yield
bonds, (c) Nonpurpose Investments allocable to Transferred Proceeds of a current refunding
issue to the extent necessary to satisfy yield restriction or of an advance refunding to the extent
that investment in zero yielding Nonpurpose Investments fails to properly restrict the Yield,
(d)purpose investments allocable to certain qualified student loans, (e) Nonpurpose Investments
allocable to a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund that but for its size would be
treated as a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund, to the extent that certain other size
constraints are satisfied, (f) Nonpurpose Investments allocable to Replacement Proceeds by
virtue of the Universal Cap, and(g) amounts eligible for transitional relief.
"Yield Restricted" or "Yield Restriction" shall mean required to be invested at a yield
that is not materially higher than the Yield on the Obligations of the applicable issue under Code
§148 and Treasury Regulations '§1.148-2.

SAFE-HARBOR MANAGEMENT CONTRACT GUIDELINES
REV.PROC. 97-13
General Rule.
A contract between a state or local governmental unit or a Section 501(c)(3) organization
(a"Qualified User") and a non-exempt provider(a"Provider) for the management of, or services
rendered at, or incentive payment in respect of, a tax-exempt bond-financed facility that meets
the safe-harbor guidelines of Rev. Proc. 97-13 as summarized below and does not otherwise give
the Provider an ownership or leasehold interest in bond-financed property for federal income tax
purposes is treated as not creating any private business use under Sections 141(b) or 145(a)(2)(B)
of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). In addition, if the guidelines are met, the burden to
prove that the contract creates impermissible private activity would shift to the Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS") in a tax court proceeding. All contracts must be reviewed on a case-by-case
basis.
General Requirements.
1. Reasonable Compensation and No Net Profits. The compensation must be
reasonable and no portion of the compensation paid to the Provider may in any event be based on
net profits derived from the bond-financed facility. However, a compensation that is based on a
percentage either of gross revenues or of expenses (but not both) is permitted. Reimbursement
for actual and direct expenses paid by the Provider to unrelated persons is not by itself treated as
compensation.
2. No Penalty if Required to be Cancelable. Whenever a contract is required to be
cancelable as described below, it must be possible to cancel it without penalty imposed on the
Qualified User. A "penalty" means: (a) any limitation on the Qualified User's right to compete
with the Provider; (b) any requirement that the Qualified User purchase equipment, goods or
services from the Provider; or (c) any requirement that the Qualified User pay liquidated
damages for cancellation of the contract. A requirement that the Qualified User reimburse
ordinary and necessary expenses of the Provider or a restriction against hiring key personnel of
the Provider is nota penalty. A penalty may exist where provisions of another contract between
the Provider and Qualified User (e.g., a loan or guarantee) impair the practical ability of the
Qualified User to terminate the service contract for example by automatically terminating when
the service contract terminates.
3. No Role or Relationship between Qualified User and Provider. There must not be
any role or relationship between the Qualified User and the Provider that would substantially
limit the Qualified User's ability to exercise its rights under the contract, including cancellation
rights. !This requirement is considered satisfied if (a) not more than 20 percent of the voting
power of the governing board of the Qualified User is vested in the Provider and its directors,
officers, shareholders and employees, (b) overlapping board members do not include the chief
executive officers of the service provider or its governing body or the Qualified User or its
D-1
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
governing body, and (c)the Qualified User and the Provider are not "related persons"within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations §1.150-1(b).
Permitted Contract Term and Compensation Arrangements.
The contract term (which includes renewal options) and the compensation arrangements
must meet one of the following five requirements:
Contract Maximum Term Limit Permissible Compensation Arrangements
1. Lesser of 15 years (20 years for 1. At least 95% of compensation for each annual period
public utility property) or 80% must be based on a periodic fixed fee. A one-time
of the reasonably expected productivity award is permitted.
useful life of the bond-financed
property. No cancellation right
required.
2. Lesser of 10 years (20 years for 2. At least 80% of compensation for each annual period
public utility property) or 80% must be based on a periodic fixed fee. A one-time
of the reasonably expected productivity award is permitted.
useful life of the bond-financed
property. No cancellation right
required.
3. 5 years, cancelable by the 3. At least 50% of compensation for each annual period
Qualified User at the end of 3 must be based on a periodic fixed fee or, alternatively,
years without penalty. 100% must be based on a capitation fee or any
combination of periodic fixed fees and capitation fees.
4. 3 years, cancelable by the 4. 100% of compensation may be based on a per-unit fee
Qualified User at the end of 2 stated in the contract or otherwise specifically limited by
years without penalty. the governmental service recipient or an independent
third party (e.g., Medicare reimbursement formulas).
Alternatively, 100% of compensation may be based on
any combination of periodic fixed fees and per-unit fees.
5. 2 years, cancelable by the 5. 100% of compensation may be based on a percentage of
Qualified User at the end of 1 the fees charged at the bond-fmanced facility except that,
year without penalty. during the start-up period of the facility, it may be based
on either gross revenues, gross revenues adjusted for bad
debt or similar allowances or the expenses of the facility.
This compensation arrangement is available only(i)with
respect to facilities providing services to third parties
(e.g., radiology facilities) or (ii)during an initial start-up
period during which operations have been insufficient to
permit a reasonable estimate of annual gross revenues.
Definitions of Permissible Compensation Arrangements.
1. -Periodic Fixed Fee is a stated dollar amount for services rendered for a
specified period of time. The stated dollar amount may automatically increase according to a
specified objective external standard that is not linked to the output or efficiency of a facility,
D-2
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
d
e.g., the Consumer Price Index and similar external indices that track increases in prices in an
area or increases in revenues or costs in an industry are objective external standards.
2. Capitation Fee is a fixed periodic amount payable for each person for
whom services are provided (e.g., an HMO member) as long as the quantity and type of services
actually provided vary substantially from person to person. A capitation fee may include a
variable component of up to 20 percent of the total capitation fee designed to protect the Provider
against risks such as catastrophic loss.
3. Per-Unit Fee is a stated amount for each unit of services provided (e.g.,
medical procedure performed, car parked, passenger mile traveled, ton of waste incinerated, unit
of landfill capacity consumed). The stated dollar amount may automatically increase according
to a specified objective external standard that is not linked to the output or efficiency of a
facility, e.g., the Consumer Price Index and similar external indices that track increases in prices
in an area or increases in revenues or costs in an industry are objective external standards.
4. Productivity Award is a stated dollar amount of additional compensation
based on increases or decreases in gross revenues or reductions in total expense target (but not
both)in any annual period during the term of a contract.
Revision and Renewal of Management Contract.
If the compensation arrangements of a management contract are materially revised, the
requirements for compensation arrangements are retested as of the date of the material revision
and the management contract is treated as one that was newly entered into as of the date of the
material revision.
A renewal option is a provision under which the Provider has a legally enforceable right
to renew the contract. Thus, for example, a provision under which a contract is automatically
renewed for one-year periods absent cancellation by either parry is not a renewal option (even if .
it is expected to be renewed).
Certain Exceptions.
Certain arrangements generally are not treated as management contracts that are subject
to the above rules. These include:
(a) Contracts for services that are solely incidental to the primary governmental
function or functions of a bond-financed facility (e.g., contracts for janitorial, office equipment
repair,hospital billing or similar services);
(b) The mere granting of admitting privileges by a hospital to a doctor, even if those
privileges are conditioned on the provision of de minimis services, if those privileges are
available to all qualified physicians in the area, consistent with the size and nature of its
facilities;
(c) A contract to provide for the operation of a facility or system of facilities that
consists predominantly of public utility property (as defined in Code §168(i)(10)), if the only
D-3
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
compensation is the reimbursement of actual and direct expenses of the Provider and reasonable
administrative overhead expenses of the Provider; and
(d) A contract to provide for services, if the only compensation is the reimbursement
of the Provider for actual and direct expenses paid by the Provider to unrelated parties.

RE: $2,044,000 Bond Anticipation Note for Various Purposes-2014
The undersigned, acting on behalf of Bridgehampton National Bank, Bridgehampton,
New York (the "Purchaser'), hereby represents as follows with respect to the above-captioned
notes (the"Notes"):
(1) On August 19,2014 (the"Sale Date"),the Purchaser purchased the Notes directly
from the Issuer. The interest rate on the Notes was the fair market value interest rate as of the
Sale Date, given the purchase price for the Notes. The par amount and the stated interest rate for
such Notes are listed as follows:
Lot Par Amount Stated Interest Rate
$2,044,000 0.73%
(2) The Notes are being purchased in a direct, private placement transaction and the
terms of the sale and purchase have been established through negotiations between the Purchaser
and the Issuer in an arm's-length transaction.
(3) The purchase price for the Notes is an amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes (i.e., $2,044,000). The Purchaser acknowledges that such price will be
relied on by the Issuer and Hawkins Delafield & Wood LLP, Bond Counsel, as the issue price
for establishing the yield on the Notes.
(4) The Purchaser is purchasing the Notes for its own account as an investor and/or
for deposit into a fund or trust for the purpose of selling interests in the trust. If the Purchaser, or
any party related to the Purchaser, transfers or sells the Notes, or any interest in the Notes, to a
fund or trust established by the Purchaser or a related party,the beneficial ownership of which is
not entirely retained by the Purchaser or related party, or otherwise participates in a reoffering of
the Notes or the offering of any derivative product (e.g., a tender option) with respect to the
Notes, then either (i) such transfer, sale, reoffering or offering will not occur within 60 days of
the date hereof, during which time the Notes will be beneficially owned, directly or indirectly,by
the Purchaser or a related party for its exclusive benefit, risk and account, or (ii) both (A) the
price at which the Notes is transferred, sold or reoffered and (B), if there be a division and sale of
ownership rights in the Notes, the aggregate price at which such rights are sold, will not exceed
the par value of the Notes, unless Bond Counsel provides a written opinion that the failure to
satisfy this paragraph(4) will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on
the Notes.
(5) The Purchaser will not receive any commission or fee in connection with the
purchase of the Notes.
We understand that the representations contained herein may be relied upon by the Issuer
in making certain of the representations contained in the Tax Certificate executed by the Issuer in
connection with the issuance of the Note or Notes, and we further understand that Hawkins
Delafield& Wood LLP, Bond Counsel to the Issuer, may rely upon this certificate, among other
things,in providing an opinion with respect to the exclusion from gross income of the interest on
the Notes pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,as amended.
The undersigned is authorized to execute this certificate on behalf of the Purchaser,
which certifications are not necessarily based on personal knowledge, but may instead be based
on either inquiry deemed adequate by the undersigned or institutional knowledge (or both)
regarding the matters set forth herein.

PROCEDURES FOR POST-ISSUANCE
COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL TAX LAW
Local governments that borrow money on a tax-exempt basis are required to report to the
Internal Revenue Service whether they have established written procedures to comply with
applicable requirements of federal tax law for all issues of bonds, bond anticipation notes, tax
anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, financing leases, energy performance contract
financings, and any other instruments evidencing the borrowing of money (collectively the
"Obligations"). The procedures set forth herein will assist the Town of Southold, in the County
of Suffolk,New York(the "Issuer")in meeting the post-issuance requirements of federal tax law
necessary to preserve the tax-exempt status of interest on tax-exempt Obligations issued by the
Issuer.
These procedures address Obligations issued for physical facilities and equipment for the
Issuer (the "Capital Obligations") and Obligations issued to finance cash-flow operating
requirements of the Issuer(the"Cash-Flow Obligations").
I. GENERAL PROCEDURES
A. Responsible Official. The Supervisor of the Issuer (herein referred to as the
"Responsible Official") will identify such officers and employee(s), who will be responsible for
each of the procedures listed below, and will notify such officers and employee(s) of the
responsibilities, and provide those persons with a copy of these procedures. Upon employee
transitions, the Responsible Official will advise the new personnel of their responsibilities under
these procedures and will ensure they understand the importance of these procedures. If
employee positions are restructured or eliminated, the Responsible Official and/or the Town
Board of the Issuer will reassign responsibilities as necessary.
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
B. Issuance of Obligations.
1. Bond Counsel. The Issuer will retain a firm of nationally-recognized bond
counsel ("Bond Counsel") to deliver a legal opinion in connection with the issuance of all
Obligations. The Responsible Official will consult with Bond Counsel and other legal counsel
and advisors, as needed, following the issuance of Obligations to ensure that applicable post-
issuance requirements are met, so that interest on each issue of Obligations will be excluded
from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
2. Documentation of Tax Requirements. The federal tax requirements
relating to each issue of Obligations will be set forth in a Tax Certificate (the "Tax Certificate")
executed in connection with each issue of Obligations, which will be included in the closing
transcript for each issue of Obligations. The Tax Certificate will contain certifications,
representations, expectations and factual statements relating to the restriction on use of the
facilities financed with Obligations by persons or entities other than the Issuer, changes in use of
the facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of Obligations, restrictions applicable to
the investment of the proceeds of any Obligations and other moneys relating to the Obligations,
and arbitrage rebate requirements. The Responsible Official will review the Tax Certificate prior
to the date of issue of each issue of Obligations.
3. Information Reporting. In connection with each issue of tax-exempt
Obligations, the Issuer is required to file, or shall cause to be filed by Bond Counsel, an IRS
Form 8038-G (or, if applicable, IRS Form 8038-GC). Any such IRS Form filed with the IRS,
together with a proof of filing, will be included as part of the closing transcript for each issue of
Obligations, or kept in the records maintained by Bond Counsel related to the appropriate issue
of Obligations. The Responsible Official shall ascertain that such form has been filed in
connection with each issue of Obligations.
C. Record Retention.
1. General. Copies of all relevant documents and records sufficient to
support that the tax requirements relating to all Obligations have been satisfied, including the
following documents and records, should be maintained by the Issuer:
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
(a) Closing transcript;
(b) All records of investments,arbitrage reports,returns filed with the IRS
and underlying documents;
(c) Construction contracts,purchase orders,invoices and expenditure and
payment records;
(d) Documents relating to costs reimbursed with the proceeds of Capital
Obligations;
(e) All contracts and arrangements involving Private Use of the property
financed with Capital Obligations;
(f) All reports relating to the allocation of the proceeds of Obligations and
Private Use of property financed with Capital Obligations;
(g) Itemization of property financed with the proceeds of Capital Obligations;
and
(h) In connection with Cash-Flow Obligations,information regarding the
Issuer's revenue, expenditures and available balances sufficient to support
the Issuer's prospective and actual maximum cumulative cash-flow deficit
calculations.
2. Duration of Record Retention. All of the foregoing documents and
records should be retained for the term of the Obligations, plus three (3) years, or if-the
Obligations are refunded with the proceeds of a subsequent Obligation, the date three (3) years
after the last of such refunding Obligations are retired.
D. Capital Obligations.
1. Timely Expenditure of Proceeds of Capital Obligations. At the time of
issuance of Capital Obligations issued to fund original expenditures, the Issuer must reasonably
expect to spend at least 85% of all proceeds within three (3) years of the date of issuance of the
2366379.1038723 TAGMT
Obligations. In addition, for Capital Obligations, the Issuer must have incurred or expect to
incur within six months after issuance original expenditures of not less than 5% of the amount of
such proceeds, and must expect to complete the project financed with Capital Obligations (the
"Project") and expend the proceeds of such Capital Obligations to pay Project costs with due
diligence. Satisfaction of these requirements allows the proceeds of Capital Obligations issued
for the Project to be invested at an unrestricted yield for three (3) years. Failure to satisfy these
requirements could subject the Issuer to rebate of investment income, and other penalties. The
Responsible Official will monitor the appropriate capital project accounts to ensure that the
proceeds of Capital Obligations are spent within the time period(s) required under federal tax
law.
Capital Obligations issued to refinance outstanding Capital Obligations are
subject to separate expenditure requirements, which shall be outlined in the Tax Certificate
relating to such Obligations. In connection with the issuance of any Capital Obligations issued
to refinance outstanding Capital Obligations, the Responsible Official will confirm that any
rebate obligation due with respect to the original issue and any subsequent refinancing thereof
has been met.
2. Use of Proceeds of Capital Obligations. In general, proceeds (including
investment income on original sale proceeds) of Capital Obligations, other than proceeds used to
pay costs of issuance, should be spent on capital expenditures. For this purpose, capital
expenditures generally mean costs to acquire, construct, or improve property (land,buildings and
equipment). Capital Expenditures include design and planning costs related to the Project, and
include architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing, environmental, and other similar costs
incurred in the process of acquiring, constructing, improving or adapting the property. Capital
Expenditures do not include operating expenses of the Project.
3. Use of Facilities Financed with Capital Obligations. For the life of all
Capital,Obligations, the Project must be owned and operated by the Issuer. At all times while
Capital Obligations issued for a Project are outstanding, no more than 10% of the proceeds of
such Capital Obligations may be used, directly or indirectly, in a trade or business carried on by
a person other than a state or local governmental unit ("Private Use"). Generally, Private Use-
2366379.1038723 TAGMT
consists of any contract or other arrangement, including leases, management contracts (for
example, contracts relating to the operation of a school cafeteria or to food service providers),
operating agreements and guarantee contracts which provides for use of the facilities financed
with Capital Obligations by a person who is not a state or local government on a basis different
than the general public. The Project may be used by any person or entity, including any person
or entity carrying on any trade or business, if such use constitutes"General Public Use". General
Public Use is any arrangement providing for use that is available to the general public at either
no charge or on the basis of rates that are generally applicable and uniformly applied.
4. Management or Operating Agreements for Facilities Financed with
Capital Obligations. Any management, operating or service contracts whereby a non-exempt
entity is using facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of Capital Obligations must,
relate to portions of the Project that fit within the above-mentioned 10% allowable Private Use,
or the contracts must meet the IRS safe harbor for management contracts (Rev. Proc. 97-13).
Any renewals of or changes to such contracts should be reviewed by Bond Counsel. The
Responsible Official shall contact Bond Counsel if there may be a lease, sale, disposition or
other change in use of facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of Capital Obligations.
E. Cash-Flow Obligations._
1. Proper Sizing of Cash-Flow Obligations.
(a) If the Issuer is not subject the small issuer exemption from rebate, at the
time of issuance of Cash-Flow Obligations, the Issuer must anticipate that it will incur an actual
maximum cumulative cash-flow deficit on a date on or before the close of the six-month period
commencing on the issue date of the Cash-Flow Obligations equal to at least 90% of the issue
price of the Cash-Flow Obligations.
(b) If the Issuer is subject to the small issuer exemption from rebate, at the
time of issuance of Cash-Flow Obligations, the Issuer must anticipate that it will incur an actual
maximum cumulative cash-flow deficit on a date on or before the close of the twelve-month
period commencing on the issue date of the Cash-Flow Obligations equal to at least 100% of the
2366379.1 038723 TAGW
issue price of the Cash-Flow Obligations (which may include taking into account the Issuer's
"reasonably required working capital reserve").
(c) The Responsible Official will determine the appropriate amount of Cash-
Flow Obligations to issue.
(d) With respect to Issuers not subject to the small issuer exemption from
rebate, the Responsible Official shall determine whether or not the Issuer has met its requisite
maximum cumulative cash-flow deficit within six months following the date of issuance of the
Cash-Flow Obligations, and shall, to the extent necessary, obtain assistance from the Arbitrage
Rebate Consultant,referred to below.
F. Investment Restrictions:Arbitrage Yield Calculation;Rebate.
1. Investment Restrictions. Investment restrictions relating to the proceeds
of Obligations and other moneys relating to the Obligations are set forth in the Tax Certificate.
The Responsible Official will monitor the investment of the proceeds of Obligations to ensure
compliance with yield restriction rules.
2. Arbitrage Yield Calculation. Investment earnings on the proceeds of
Obligations should be tracked and monitored to comply with applicable yield restrictions and/or
rebate requirements. The Issuer is responsible for calculating (or causing the calculation of)
rebate liability for each issue of Obligations, and for making any required rebate payments. Any
funds of the Issuer set aside or otherwise pledged or earmarked to pay debt service on the
Obligations should be analyzed to assure compliance with the tax law rules on arbitrage, invested
sinking funds and pledged funds (including gifts or donations linked to facilities financed with
Capital Obligations). The Responsible Official will consult with Bond Counsel to confirm that
all relevant arbitrage yield requirements are met.
3. Rebate. On or before the date of any required rebate payment(see below),
the Issuer will retain a nationally recognized arbitrage rebate consultant (the "Arbitrage Rebate
Consultant") to perform rebate calculations that may be required to be made from time to time
with respect to any issue of Obligations. The Responsible Official shall provide the Arbitrage
Rebate Consultant with requested documents and information on a prompt basis, reviewing
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
applicable rebate reports and other calculations and generally interacting with the Arbitrage
Rebate Consultant to ensure the timely preparation of rebate reports and payment of any rebate.
The reports and calculations provided by the Arbitrage Rebate Consultant will
assure compliance with rebate requirements, which require the Issuer to make rebate payments,
if any, no later than the fifth (5th) anniversary date and each fifth(5th) anniversary date thereafter
through the final maturity or redemption date of a Capital Obligation. A final rebate payment, if
due, must be made within sixty (60) days of the final maturity or redemption date of all
Obligations.
Rebate spending exceptions for Capital Obligations are available for periods of 6
months, 18 months and 2 years. The Responsible Oficial will confer and consult with the
Arbitrage Rebate Consultant to determine whether any rebate spending exception may be met.
In the case of Cash-Flow Obligations, within 60 days of the maturity date of such
Cash-Flow Obligations, if there is concern -as to whether the Issuer has met its requisite
maximum cumulative cash-flow deficit, a rebate analyst should be promptly engaged to
determine whether either the six-month spending exception or the statutory safe harbor exception
to the rebate rules was met (in which case no rebate would be owed) or whether the investment
income derived from the proceeds of the Cash-Flow Obligations is subject, in whole or in part,to
rebate.
Copies of all arbitrage rebate reports, related return filings with the IRS (i.e., IRS
Form 8038-T), copies of cancelled checks with respect to any rebate payments, and information
statements must be retained as described above. The Responsible Official will follow the
procedures set forth in the Tax Certificate that relate to compliance with the rebate requirements
with respect to any Obligations.
II. ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES.
A. Periodic Monitoring. The Responsible Official will conduct periodic reviews of
compliance with the foregoing procedures to determine whether any violations have occurred so
that such violations can be remedied through the "remedial action" regulations (Treas. Reg.
Section 1.141-12) or the Voluntary Closing Agreement Program (VCAP) described in IRS
2366379.1 038723 TAGMT
Notice 2008-31 (or successor guidance). If any changes to the terms or provisions of any
Obligations are contemplated, the Responsible Official will consult with Bond Counsel, because
such modifications could jeopardize the tax-exempt status of interest on the Obligations after
they are modified.
B. Use of Facilities. The Responsible Official will maintain records identifying any
Private Use of the facilities or portion of facilities that are financed or refinanced with proceeds
of Capital Obligations. Such records may be kept in any combination of paper or electronic
form. In the event the use of the proceeds of Capital Obligations of the facilities financed or
refinanced with the proceeds of Capital Obligations differs from the representations or factual
statements in the Tax Certificate,the Responsible Official will promptly contact and consult with
Bond Counsel to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the tax-exempt status of the Capital
Obligations and, where appropriate, will remedy any violations through the "remedial action"
regulations (Treas. Reg. Section 1.141-12), the Voluntary Closing Agreement Program (VCAP)
described in IRS Notice 2008-31 (or successor guidance), or as otherwise prescribed by Bond
Counsel.
