General Tax and Arbitrage Representations and Covenants. (i) The certifications and representations made by the Lessee in this Lease are intended, among other purposes, to be a certificate permitted in Section 1.148-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 148 of the Code (the "Regulations"), to establish the reasonable expectations of the Lessee at the time of the execution of this Lease made on the basis of the facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date hereof. The Lessee further certifies, and covenants as follows: (A) The Lessee has not been notified of any disqualification or proposed disqualification of it by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service as an issuer which may certify bond issues. (B) To the best knowledge and belief of the Lessee, there are no facts, estimates or circumstances that would materially change the conclusions, certifications or representations set forth in this Lease, and the expectations herein set forth are reasonable. (C) The Scheduled Term of this Lease does not exceed the useful life of the Leased Property, and the weighted average term of this Lease does not exceed the weighted average useful life of the Leased Property. (D) Each advance of funds by the Bank to finance Leased Property under this Lease (each an “Advance”) will occur only when and to the extent that the Lessee has reasonably determined and identified the nature, need, and cost of each item of Leased Property pertaining to such Advance. (E) No use will be made of the proceeds of this Lease or any such Advance, or any funds or accounts of the Lessee which may be deemed to be proceeds of this Lease or any such Advance, which use, if it had been reasonably expected on the date of the execution of this Lease or of any such Advance, would have caused this Lease or any such Advance to be classified as an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. (F) The Lessee will at all times comply with the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code as they pertain to this Lease, to the extent applicable. (G) In order to preserve the status of this Lease and the Advances as other than "private activity bonds" as described in Sections 103(b)(1) and 141 of the Code, as long as this Lease and any such Advances are outstanding and unpaid: (I) none of the proceeds from this Lease or the Advances or any facilities or assets financed therewith shall be used for any "private business use" as that term is used in Section 141(b) of the Code and defined in Section 141(b)(6) of the Code; (II) the Lessee will not allow any such "private business use" to be made of the proceeds of this Lease or the Advances or any facilities or assets financed therewith; and (III) none of the Advances or Lease Payments due hereunder shall be secured in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by any interest in any property used in any such "private business use" or by payments in respect of such property and shall not be derived from payments in respect of such property. (H) The Lessee will not take any action, or omit to take any action, which action or omission would cause the interest component of the Lease Payments to be ineligible for the exclusion from gross income as provided in Section 103 of the Code. (I) The Lessee is a "governmental unit" within the meaning of Section 141(b)(6) of the Code. (J) The obligations of the Lessee under this Lease are not federally guaranteed within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code. (K) This Lease and the Advances to be made pursuant hereto will not reimburse the Lessee for any expenditures incurred prior to the date of this Lease and do not constitute a "refunding issue" as defined in Section 1.150-1(d) of the Regulations, and no part of the proceeds of this Lease or any such Advances will be used to pay or discharge any obligations of the Lessee the interest on which is or purports to be excludable from gross income under the Code or any predecessor provision of law. (L) In compliance with Section 149(e) of the Code relating to information reporting, the Lessee will file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Center, Ogden, UT 84201, within fifteen (15) days from the execution of this Lease, IRS Form 8038-G or 8038-GC, as appropriate, reflecting the total aggregate amount of Advances that can be made pursuant to this Lease. (M) None of the proceeds of this Lease or the Advances to be made hereunder will be used directly or indirectly to replace funds of the Lessee used directly or indirectly to acquire obligations at a yield materially higher than the yield on this Lease or otherwise invested in any manner. No portion of the Advances will be made for the purpose of investing such portion at a materially higher yield than the yield on this Lease. (N) Inasmuch as Advances will be made under this Lease only when and to the extent the Lessee reasonably determines, identifies and experiences the need therefor, and will remain outstanding and unpaid only until such time as the Lessee has moneys available to repay the same, the Lessee reasonably expects that (I) the Advances will not be made sooner than necessary; (II) no proceeds from the Advances will be invested at a yield higher than the yield on this Lease; and (III) the Advances and this Lease will not remain outstanding and unpaid longer than necessary. (O) The Lessee will either (i) spend all of the moneys advanced pursuant to this Lease immediately upon receipt thereof, without investment, on the portion of the Leased Property that is to be financed thereby; or (ii) invest such moneys at the highest yield allowable and practicable under the circumstances until they are to be spent on the portion of the Leased Property that is to be financed thereby, and track, keep records of, and pay to the United States of America, all rebatable arbitrage pertaining thereto, at the times, in the amounts, in the manner, and to the extent required under Section 148(f) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated in connection therewith. At least five percent (5%) of the total amount of moneys that are expected to be advanced pursuant to this Lease are reasonably expected to have been expended on the Leased Property within six (6) months from the date of this Lease. All moneys to be advanced pursuant to this Lease are reasonably expected to have been expended on the Leased Property no later than the earlier of: (I) the date twelve (12) months from the date such moneys are advanced; and (II) the date three (3) years from the date of this Lease. (P) This Lease and the Advances to be made hereunder are not and will not be part of a transaction or series of transactions that attempts to circumvent the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and the regulations promulgated in connection therewith (I) enabling the Lessee to exploit the difference between tax- exempt and taxable interest rates to gain a material financial advantage, and (II) overburdening the tax-exempt bond market, as those terms are used in Section 1.148-10(a)(2) of the Regulations. (Q) To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Lessee, the above expectations are reasonable. On the basis of the foregoing, it is not expected that the proceeds of this Lease and the Advances to be made hereunder will be used in a manner that would cause this Lease or such Advances to be "arbitrage bonds" under Section 148 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Lessee, there are no other facts, estimates or circumstances that would materially change the foregoing conclusions.
