SECTION 1.8 Tax Covenants. The Lessee covenants (a) that it will take or cause to
be taken all actions that may be required of it for the interest on the 2016 Certificates to remain
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, (b) that it will not take or authorize

actions, make such rebate payments or potential payments and make or give such reports and
certifications as may be appropriate to assure such exclusion of the interest.
The Lessee covenants that it will use, and will restrict the use and investment of the
proceeds of the 2016 Certificates in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary,
so that (a) the 2016 Certificates will not (i) constitute an arbitrage bond, a private activity bond

give under the federal income tax laws, including, without limitation thereto, any of the elections
provided for in Section 148(f)(4)(C) of the Code or available under Section 148 of the Code, for
the purpose of assuring, enhancing or protecting favorable tax treatment or status of the interest
on the 2016 Certificates or assisting compliance with requirements for that purpose, reducing the
burden or expense of such compliance, reducing the rebate amount or payments of penalties, or
making payments of special amounts in lieu of making computations to determine, or paying,
excess earnings as rebate, or obviating those amounts or payments, as determined by that officer,
which action will be in writing and signed by the officer, (b) to take any and all other actions,
make or obtain calculations, make payments, and make or give reports, covenants and
certifications of and on behalf of the Lessee, as may be appropriate to assure the exclusion of the
interest on the 2016 Certificates from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (c) to
give one or more appropriate certificates of the Lessee, for inclusion in the transcript of
proceedings for setting forth the reasonable expectations of the Lessee regarding the amount and
use of all the proceeds relating to the 2016 Certificates and the property financed with such
proceeds, the facts, circumstances and estimates on which they are based, and other facts and
circumstances relevant to the tax treatment of the 2016 Certificates.

Revised Statutes Section 38-511, as amended, notice is hereby given that the Lessee may cancel
any contract, without penalty or further obligation, made by the Lessee if any person
significantly involved in initiating, negotiating, securing, drafting or creating the contract on

The breach by the Lessor of the foregoing shall be deemed a material breach by the Lessor of the
Lease-Purchase Agreement and the Trust Agreement and may result in the termination of its role
as Trustee under the Trust Agreement and as Lessor under the Lease-Purchase Agreement and its
replacement with a successor in such capacities, to the extent permitted by the Trust Agreement.
The Lessee retains the legal right to randomly inspect the papers and records of the Lessor to
ensure that the Lessor is complying with the above-mentioned warranty. The Lessor shall keep
