service savings, the District proposes to defease and/or refund the Refunded Bonds as set forth
herein. The Designated Representative shall designate all or a portion of the 2008 Bonds as
Refunded Bonds and shall establish the Call Date. Such designation and Call Date shall be set

A portion of the proceeds of the Bond shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant
to the Escrow Agreement to be used immediately upon receipt thereof to defease the Refunded
Bonds as authorized by the 2008 Bond Resolution and to pay costs of issuance of the Bond. The
net proceeds deposited with the Escrow Agent and any interest earnings on any Acquired
Obligations will provide for the payment of:
(a) interest on the Refunded Bonds as such becomes due on and prior to the Call Date;
and
(b) the redemption price (100 percent of the principal amount) of the Refunded Bonds
on the Call Date.
Such Acquired Obligations shall be purchased at a yield not greater than the yield permitted
by the Code and regulations relating to acquired obligations in connection with refunding bond
issues.
A beginning cash balance, if any, and the Acquired Obligations, if any, shall be deposited
irrevocably with the Escrow Agent in an amount sufficient to defease and refund the Refunded
Bonds. In order to carry out the purposes of this Section 7, the Designated Representative is
authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent an Escrow Agreement.
The District hereby calls the Refunded Bonds for redemption on their Call Date in
accordance with the provisions of the 2008 Bond Resolution authorizing the redemption and
retirement of the 2008 Bonds prior to their fixed maturities. Said defeasance and call for
redemption of the Refunded Bonds shall be irrevocable after the issuance of the Bond and delivery
of the proceeds of the Bond and/or Acquired Obligations to the Escrow Agent.
The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to provide for the giving of notices of
the defeasance and/or redemption of the Refunded Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the
2008 Bond Resolution. The costs of publication of such notices shall be an expense of the District.

10127 00002 fh30ge15yk
The District will take such actions as are found necessary to see that all necessary and
proper fees, compensation and expenses of the Escrow Agent for the Refunded Bonds shall be
paid when due.
Section 8. Tax Covenants. The District will take all actions necessary to assure the
exclusion of interest on the Bond from the gross income of the owners of the Bond to the same
extent as such interest is permitted to be excluded from gross income under the Code as in effect
on the date of issuance of the Bond, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Private Activity Bond Limitation. The District will assure that the proceeds of the
Bond are not so used as to cause the Bond to satisfy the private business tests of Section 141(b) of
the Code or the private loan financing test of Section 141(c) of the Code.
(b) Limitations on Disposition of Project. The District will not sell or otherwise
transfer or dispose of (i) any personal property components of the projects financed with proceeds
of the Refunded Bonds (the “Projects”) other than in the ordinary course of an established
government program under Treasury Regulation 1.141-2(d)(4) or (ii) any real property
components of the Projects, unless it has received an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that
such disposition will not adversely affect the treatment of interest on the Bond as excludable from
gross income for federal income tax purposes.
(c) Federal Guarantee Prohibition. The District will not take any action or permit or
suffer any action to be taken if the result of such action would be to cause the Bond to be “federally
guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code.
(d) Rebate Requirement. The District will take any and all actions necessary to assure
compliance with Section 148(f) of the Code, relating to the rebate of excess investment earnings,
if any, to the federal government, to the extent that such section is applicable to the Bond.
(e) No Arbitrage. The District will not take, or permit or suffer to be taken by the
Escrow Agent or otherwise, any action with respect to the proceeds of the Bond which, if such
action had been reasonably expected to have been taken, or had been deliberately and intentionally
taken, on the date of issuance of the Bond would have caused the Bond to be an “arbitrage bond”
within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.
(f) Registration Covenant. The District will maintain a system for recording the
ownership of the Bond that complies with the provisions of Section 149 of the Code until the Bond
has been surrendered and canceled.
(g) Record Retention. The District will retain its records of all accounting and
monitoring it carries out with respect to the Bond for at least three years after the Bond matures or
is redeemed (whichever is earlier); however, if the Bond is redeemed and refunded, the District
will retain its records of accounting and monitoring at least three years after the earlier of the
maturity or redemption of the obligations that refunded the Bond.

provisions of the Federal Tax Certificate with respect to the Bond, which are incorporated herein
-11-
10127 00002 fh30ge15yk

of the Bond.

paragraph (3) of Section 265(b) of the Code and represents that not more than $10,000,000
aggregate principal amount of obligations the interest on which is excludable (under Section 103(a)
of the Code) from gross income for federal income tax purposes (excluding (i) private activity
bonds, as defined in Section 141 of the Code, except qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as defined in
Section 145 of the Code and (ii) current refunding obligations to the extent the amount of the
refunding obligation does not exceed the outstanding amount of the refunded obligation), has been

authorizes the creation of a fund or account to be used for the payment of debt service on the Bond
(the “Bond Fund”). No later than the date each payment of principal of or interest on the Bond
becomes due, the District shall transmit sufficient funds, from the Bond Fund or from other legally
available sources, to the Bond Registrar for the payment of such principal or interest, and any
applicable prepayment fees. Money in the Bond Fund may be invested in legal investments for
District funds, but only to the extent that the same are acquired, valued and disposed of at Fair
Market Value.
The District hereby irrevocably covenants that, unless the principal of and interest on the
Bond are paid from other sources, it will make annual levies of taxes without limitation as to rate
or amount upon all of the property in the District subject to taxation in amounts sufficient to pay
such principal and interest as the same shall become due. All of such taxes and any of such other
money so collected shall be paid into the Bond Fund. None of the money in the Bond Fund shall
be used for any other purpose than the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bond.
The full faith, credit and resources of the District are hereby irrevocably pledged for the
annual levy and collection of such taxes and for the prompt payment of the principal of and interest
on the Bond when due.

Designated Representative is hereby authorized to approve the principal amount of the Bond and
to agree to any other terms, conditions and covenants that are in the best interest of the District and
in accordance with the Proposal so long as the principal amount of the Bond does not exceed
$1,120,000.
The appropriate District officials, including but not limited to the Designated
