Generic GO Bond Proceeds 23 Ver – 10/26/2020 Grant Agreement for Construction Grants All amounts to be disbursed under this Section 4.02 must be consented to, in writing, by the Commissioner of MMB, and no such disbursements shall be made without such consent. The Public Entity shall not be required to pay or reimburse the State Entity or the Commissioner of MMB for any funds above and beyond the full net proceeds of such sale, even if such net proceeds are less than the amount of the Outstanding Balance of the G.O. Grant. Article V COMPLIANCE WITH G.O. COMPLIANCE LEGISLATION AND THE COMMISSIONER’S ORDER Section 5.01 State Bond Financed Property. The Public Entity and the State Entity acknowledge and agree that the Public Entity’s ownership interest in the Real Property and, if applicable, Facility is, or when acquired by the Public Entity will be, “state bond financed property”, as such term is used in the G.O. Compliance Legislation and the Commissioner’s Order, and, therefore, the provisions contained in such statute and order apply, or will apply, to the Public Entity’s ownership interest in the Real Property and, if applicable, Facility and any Use Contracts relating thereto. Section 5.02 Preservation of Tax Exempt Status. In order to preserve the tax-exempt status of the G.O. Bonds, the Public Entity agrees as follows: A. It will not use the Real Property or, if applicable, Facility, or use or invest the G.O. Grant or any other sums treated as “bond proceeds” under Section 148 of the Code including “investment proceeds,” “invested sinking funds,” and “replacement proceeds,” in such a manner as to cause the G.O. Bonds to be classified as “arbitrage bonds” under Section 148 of the Code. B. It will deposit into and hold all of the G.O. Grant that it receives under this Agreement in a segregated non-interest bearing account until such funds are used for payments for the Project in accordance with the provisions contained herein. C. It will, upon written request, provide the Commissioner of MMB all information required to satisfy the informational requirements set forth in the Code including, but not limited to, Sections 103 and 148 thereof, with respect to the G.O. Bonds. D. It will, upon the occurrence of any act or omission by the Public Entity or any Counterparty that could cause the interest on the G.O. Bonds to no longer be tax exempt and upon direction from the Commissioner of MMB, take such actions and furnish such documents as the Commissioner of MMB determines to be necessary to ensure that the interest to be paid on the G.O. Bonds is exempt from federal taxation, which such action may include either: (i) compliance with proceedings intended to classify the G.O. Bonds as a “qualified bond” within the meaning of Section 141(e) of the Code, (ii) changing the nature or terms of the Use Contract so that it complies with Revenue Procedure 97-13, as amended by Rev. Proc 2016-44 and Rev. Proc. 2017-13, or (iii) changing the nature of the use of the Real Property or, if applicable, Facility so that none of the net proceeds of the G.O. Bonds will be used, directly or indirectly,
