Section 2. Authorization of Lease Financing and Approval of the Documents

The County agrees and covenants to include in its annual budget for each fiscal year during the term of the Lease moneys sufficient to pay and for the purpose of paying the Lease Payments, and to levy a tax pursuant to SDCL Section 7-25-1 and Article XIII Section 5 in an amount sufficient and for the purpose of paying such Lease Payments when due and, to the extent permitted by law, to determine the percentage of true and full value to be used as taxable valuation such that the tax levied pursuant to SDCL Section 7-25-1, taking into consideration the percentage of collection, will generate sufficient revenues for the purpose of paying such Lease Payments, and to take all other actions necessary to provide moneys for the payment of the Lease Payments under the Lease as amended or supplemented, from sources of the County lawfully available for such purposes. The County shall file with the County Auditor a schedule of the principal and interest components of the Lease for each fiscal year.

Section 6. Tax Matters. The County covenants and agrees with the Trustee and the registered owners from time to time of the Lease and Limited Tax General Obligation Certificates of Participation, Series 2018 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 component on the Lease and interest on the Limited Tax General Obligation Certificates of Participation, Series 2018 to become subject to taxation 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 component on the Lease and interest on the Limited Tax General Obligation Certificates of Participation, Series 2018 will not become subject to taxation under the Code and the Regulations. The County will cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury an information reporting statement in the form and at the time prescribed by the Code. The County will comply with the provisions of Section 148(f) of the Code, relating to the rebate of arbitrage profits to the United States, if and to the extent that such provisions are applicable to the Lease and the Certificates of Participation, Series 2018.

The Chairman and the County Auditor, being the officers of the County charged with the responsibility for the Lease and the issuing the Limited Tax General Obligation Certificates of Participation, Series 2018 pursuant to this Resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Trustee a certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and Sections 1.148-1 through 1.148-11A et al of the Regulations, stating the facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Limited Tax General Obligation Certificates of Participation, Series 2018 which make it reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Limited Tax General Obligation Certificates of Participation, Series 2018 will not be used in a manner that would cause the Lease or the Limited Tax General Obligation Certificates of Participation, Series 2018 to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of the Code and Regulations.

Section 8. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Board hereby designates the Lease as a “qualified tax-exempt obligation” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code relating to the disallowance of interest expense for financial institutions, and hereby finds that the reasonably anticipated amount of qualified tax-exempt obligations (within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code) which will be issued by the County and all subordinate entities during calendar year 2018 does not exceed $10,000,000.
