Supplement #3 dated as of June 1 , 2025 (the "Third Deed of Trust Supplement") , supplementing the <br /> Existing Deed of Trust (as so supplemented, the "Modified Deed of Trust") , granting a first lien of record <br /> on the Mortgaged Property, subject to Permitted Encumbrances . <br /> (c) The Bonds shall be dated the date of the Closing, shall mature on the dates and in <br /> the amounts , shall bear interest at the rates and shall have the terms stated in Exhibit A attached hereto . <br /> (2) Sale of All the Bonds , Offering . It shall be a condition to the County ' s obligation to sell <br /> and deliver the Bonds to the Underwriters , and to the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and accept <br /> delivery of the Bonds, that the entire principal amount of the Bonds is sold and delivered by the County, <br /> and accepted and paid for by the Underwriters at the Closing. The Underwriters intend to make a bona fide <br /> public offering of all the Bonds at a price or prices not in excess of the initial public offering price or prices <br /> set forth in Exhibit A . The Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including dealers depositing <br /> such Bonds into investment trusts or mutual funds) at prices lower than such public offering prices . The <br /> Underwriters reserve the right to make such changes in such prices as the Underwriters shall deem necessary <br /> in connection with the offering of the Bonds . <br /> (3 ) Establishment of Issue Price . <br /> (a) Baird, on behalf of the Underwriters , agrees to assist the County in establishing the <br /> issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the County at Closing an "issue price" or similar <br /> certificate , together- with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications , substantially in the <br /> form attached hereto as Exhibit B , with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the <br /> reasonable judgment of Baird, the County, and Sanford Holshouser PLLC ("Bond Counsel ") , to accurately <br /> reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds . <br /> (b) The County will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds <br /> (the " 10% test") is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity (if different interest rates apply <br /> within a maturity, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be subject to the 10% test) . At or <br /> promptly after the execution of this Bond Purchase Agreement, Baird shall report to the County the price <br /> or prices at which the Underwriters have sold to the public each maturity of the Bonds . <br /> (c) Baird confirms that any selling group agreement and any retail distribution <br /> agreement (to which Baird is a party) relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the <br /> related pricing wires , contains or will contain language obligating each underwriter, each dealer who is a <br /> member of the selling group and each broker-dealer that is a party to such retail distribution agreement, as <br /> applicable, to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allotted <br /> to it until it is notified by Baird that either the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity <br /> or all Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public and (B) comply with the hold-the-offering-price <br /> rule, if applicable, in each case if and for so long as directed by Baird . The County acknowledges that, in <br /> making the representation set forth in this subsection, Baird will rely on (i) in the event a selling group has <br /> been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public , the agreement of each dealer who <br /> is a member of the selling group to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, as set forth <br /> in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires , and ( ii) in the event that a retail distribution <br /> agreement was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public , the agreement of <br /> each broker-dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if <br /> applicable, as set forth in the retail distribution agreement and the related pricing wires . The County further <br /> acknowledges that the Underwriters shall not be liable for the failure of any dealer who is a member of a <br /> selling group , or of any broker-dealer that is a party to a retail distribution agreement, to comply with its <br /> corresponding agreement regarding the hold-the- offering-price rule as applicable to the Bonds . <br /> -2 - <br />
