Federal Tax Matters Related to the Bonds

Federal Tax Matters Related to the Bonds. The County recognizes that the purchasers and holders of the Bonds will have accepted them on, and paid therefor a price that reflects, the understanding that interest thereon is excluded from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation under laws in force on the date of delivery of the Bonds. Accordingly, the County agrees that it shall take no action that may render the interest on any of said Bonds subject to federal income taxation. It is the reasonable expectation of the Governing Body that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner which will cause the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including any lawful regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder, and to this end the said proceeds of the Bonds and other related funds established for the purposes herein set out, shall be used and spent expeditiously for the purposes described herein. The Governing Body further covenants and represents that in the event it shall be required by Section 148(f) of the Code to pay any investment proceeds of the Bonds to the United States government, it will make such payments as and when required by said Section and will take such other actions as shall be necessary or permitted to prevent the interest on the Bonds from becoming subject to inclusion in the gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.
