The Issuer covenants and agrees with the owners from time to time of the First Amended and Restated Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any action which would cause the interest on the First Amended and Restated Bonds to become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and applicable Treasury Regulations (the “Regulations”), and covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the First Amended and Restated Bonds will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations. The Project and the System are each owned and maintained by the Issuer and available for use by members of the general public on a substantially equal basis. The Issuer agrees not to enter into any lease, use or other agreement with any non-governmental person relating to the use of the Project or the System or security for the payment of the First Amended and Restated Bonds which might cause the First Amended and Restated Bonds to be considered “private activity bonds” or “private loan bonds” within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code. 5.02.

Information Reporting. The Issuer shall file with the Secretary of the Treasury, not later than November 15, 2013, a statement concerning the First Amended and Restated Bonds containing the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code. 5.05. No Bank Qualification or Counting of Reissued Bonds Toward Qualified Small Issuer Status. To the extent the First Amended and Restated Bonds constitute a reissuance of the Prior Bonds, such reissuance is a deemed current refunding. The principal amount of the First Amended and Restated Bonds that constitutes a reissuance does not exceed the principal amount of the outstanding Prior Bonds being reissued. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 265(b)(3)(C)(ii)(III) of the Code, that portion of the First Amended and Restated Bonds that constitutes a reissuance is hereby not taken into account in determining the Issuer’s status as a qualified small issuer under Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.

Section 7. Certification and Effective Date. 7.01. Certification. The officers of the Issuer are authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the DNRC and to the attorneys rendering an opinion as to the legality of the First Amended and Restated Bonds, certified copies of all ordinances, resolutions and records and such other certificates, affidavits and other instruments as may be required to evidence the -5- validity, status of tax-exempt interest, or marketability of the First Amended and Restated Bonds and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits shall constitute representations of the Issuer as to the truth of all statements of fact contained therein. 7.02.
