WHEREAS, the Franklin County Public Building Commission (the “Issuer”), has previously issued or may in the future issue one or more series of governmental purpose bonds or other form of tax exempt obligations (the “Tax Exempt Bonds”) the interest on which is excluded from gross income of the owners thereof pursuant to Sections 103 and 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and
WHEREAS, the Issuer may in the future issue one or more series of governmental purpose tax credit bonds or other form of obligations (the “Tax Credit Bonds”) that entitle the Issuer, the owners of the Tax Credit Bonds, or any other permitted party to either a credit against federal income tax liability or a refundable credit from the United States Treasury; and
WHEREAS, the Tax Exempt Bonds and the Tax Credit Bonds are referred to collectively as the “Tax-Advantaged Bonds”; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the issuance of each series of Tax-Advantaged Bonds, the Issuer has executed or will execute covenants and certificates wherein the Issuer represents that it expects and intends to be able to comply with and will, to the extent permitted by law, comply with the provisions and procedures set forth in such covenants and certificates and will do and perform all acts and things necessary or desirable in order to assure either (i) that the interest on the series of Tax Exempt Bonds to which such covenants and certificates relate will be excluded from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes or (ii) that the Tax Credit Bonds to which such covenants and certificates relate will remain eligible for the applicable federal income tax credit; and
