(b) Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto , the County will treat the first price at which 10 % of each maturity of the 2024A Bonds (the " 10 % test") is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity (if different interest rates apply within a maturity, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be subject to the 10 % test) . At or promptly after the execution of this Bond Purchase Agreement, Baird shall report to the County the price or prices at which the Underwriters have sold to the public each maturity of the 2024A Bonds . If at that time the 10 % test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the 2024A Bonds , Baird agrees to promptly report to the County the prices at which it sells the unsold 2024A Bonds of that maturity to the public . That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) has occurred, until the 10 % test has been satisfied as to the 2024A Bonds of that maturity or until all 2024A Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public . (c) Baird confirms that the Underwriters have offered the 2024A Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Bond Purchase Agreement at the offering price or prices (the "initial offering price") , or at the corresponding yield or yields , set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto , except as otherwise set forth therein . Exhibit B also sets forth, as of the date of this Bond Purchase Agreement, the maturities of the 2024A Bonds for which the 10 % test has not been satisfied and for which the County and Baird, on behalf of the Underwriters , agree that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the County to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the "hold-the -offering-price rule") . So long as the hold-the -offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the 2024A Bonds, the Underwriters will neither offer nor sell -2 -
