The District makes the following specific covenants with respect to the Code: 9.1.1. The District shall not take any action or omit any action, if it would cause the Bonds to become "arbitrage bonds" under Section 148 of the Code and shall pay any rebates to the United States which are required by Section 148(f) of the Code. 9.1.2.

The District covenants not to so designate tax-exempt obligations in the current calendar year in an aggregate amount of more than $10,000,000. The District (and all subordinate entities thereof, if any) does not reasonably expect to issue more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations during the current calendar year. Section 11. Rebate Compliance. 11.1. The District (and all subordinate entities thereof, if any) reasonably expects to issue tax-exempt obligations in calendar year 1996 which have an aggregate face amount of J:\RDR\BEND-LIB\00.96\RE SELEC.DOC Page 8 - Resolution 4/2/96 0152-1643 more than $5,000,000. Accordingly, the District hereby covenants to pay to the United States any rebates required to be paid in connection with the Bonds, unless the District otherwise qualifies for an exemption, under Section 148(f) of the Code. Section 12. Defeasance. 12.1. The District may defease the Bonds by setting aside, with a duly appointed escrow agent, in a special escrow account irrevocably pledged to the payment of the Bonds to be defeased, cash or direct obligations of the United States in an amount which, in the opinion of a certified public accountant satisfactory to the escrow agent, without reinvestment, is at least equal to the principal amount of the Bonds to be defeased, plus interest which will accrue thereon until maturity or any earlier date for which the issuer has given irrevocable instructions for redemption. Such Bonds shall be paid hereunder, and shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under this Bond Resolution except the right to receive payment from such special escrow account; such Bonds shall not for any purpose of this Bond Resolution be deemed outstanding.

True interest cost will be determined by doubling the semiannual interest rate necessary to discount the debt service to April 1, 1996, and the price bid for the Bonds. Each bidder is requested to supply the total interest cost and the true interest cost that the District will pay upon the issue if the bid is accepted.

GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT - CHECK OR FINANCIAL SURETY BOND: Each bid must be accompanied by a good faith deposit in the amount of One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($160,000.00). The good faith deposit must be in the form of a certified or cashier's check drawn on a bank doing business in the State of Oregon or a financial surety bond and payable to the order of the District. The good faith deposit will be held by the District as security against any loss resulting from the failure of the bidder to comply with the terms of its bid. The good faith deposit will be forfeited to the District as liquidated damages in case the bidder to whom the Bonds are awarded withdraws its bid or fails to complete its purchase of the Bonds in accordance with the terms thereof, including any failure to purchase the Bonds resulting from the inability of the bidder to secure delivery of an insurance policy submitted as part of its bid for the purchase of the Bonds. If a check is used as good faith deposit, the check must accompany the bid. If a financial surety bond is used as the good faith deposit, such financial surety bond must be submitted to the District prior to the opening of the bids. The issuer of the financial surety bond must be rated in the highest rating category by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Corporation, or by Fitch Investors Service, Inc., and must identify the bidder whose good faith deposit is guaranteed by such financial surety bond.

The District shall be entitled to retain for the sole and exclusive use and benefit of the District all investment earnings derived from the good faith deposit prior to the delivery of the Bonds, and in no event shall the successful bidder be entitled to any such investment earnings (whether by means of a credit or otherwise). Upon delivery of the Bonds, the successful bidder will receive a credit against the purchase price of the Bonus in an amount equal to the good faith deposit.
