K. Contributory Liability and Contractor Indemnification.

(1) If any third party makes any claim or brings any action, suit or proceeding alleging a tort as now or hereafter defined in ORS 30.260 (“Third Party Claim”) against a party (the “Notified Party”) with respect to which the other party may have liability, the Notified Party must promptly notify the other party in writing and deliver a copy of the claim, process, and all legal pleadings related to the Third Party Claim. Either party is entitled to participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim, and to defend a Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing.

If the parties are jointly liable (or would be if joined in the Third Party Claim), the parties shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect their respective relative fault. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts.

A23011_MultnomahCountyDrainageDist#1_Contract.docx Page 6 of 13 the Financing Proceeds if it finds that the federal tax exemption of the Lottery Bonds cannot be assured.

(2) The Recipient shall not take any action (including but not limited to the execution of a management agreement for the operation of the Project) or omit to take any action that would cause any Lottery Bonds to be “private activity bonds” within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the Code. Accordingly, unless Recipient receives the prior written approval of OBDD, Recipient shall not permit in excess of ten percent (10%) of either (a) the Financing Proceeds or (b) the Project financed or refinanced with the Financing Proceeds to be directly or indirectly used in any manner that would constitute “private business use” within the meaning of Section 141(b)(6) of the Code, including not permitting more than one half of any permitted private business use to be “disproportionate related business use” or private business use unrelated to the government use of the Financing Proceeds. Unless Recipient receives the prior written approval of OBDD, Recipient shall not directly or indirectly use any of the Financing Proceeds to make or finance loans to persons other than governmental units, as that term is used in Section 141(c) of the Code.

(3) The Recipient shall not directly or indirectly use or permit the use of any of the Financing Proceeds or any other funds or take any action or omit to take any action, which would cause any Lottery Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code.

(4) The Recipient shall not cause any Lottery Bonds to be treated as “federally guaranteed” for purposes of Section 149(b) of the Code, as may be modified in any applicable rules, rulings, policies, procedures, regulations or other official statements promulgated or proposed by the Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service with respect to “federally guaranteed” obligations described in Section 149(b) of the Code. For purposes of this paragraph, any Lottery Bonds will be treated as “federally guaranteed” if: (a) all or any portion of the principal or interest is or will be guaranteed directly or indirectly by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or (b) five percent (5%) or more of the proceeds of the Lottery Bonds will be (i) used in making loans if the payment of principal or interest is guaranteed in whole or in part by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or (ii) invested directly or indirectly in federally insured deposits or accounts, and (c) none of the exceptions described in Section 149(b)(3) of the Code apply.

(5) The Recipient shall assist OBDD to ensure that all required amounts are rebated to the United States of America pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code. The Recipient shall pay to OBDD such amounts as may be directed by OBDD to satisfy the requirements of Section 148(f) applicable to the portion of the proceeds of any tax-exempt bonds, including any Financing Proceeds or other amounts held in a reserve fund. The Recipient further shall reimburse OBDD for the portion of any expenses it incurs related to the Project that is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code.

(6) Upon OBDD’s request, Recipient shall furnish written information regarding its investments and use of Financing Proceeds, and of any facilities financed or refinanced therewith, including providing OBDD with any information and documentation that OBDD reasonably determines is necessary to comply with the arbitrage and private use restrictions that apply to the Lottery Bonds.

(7) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, so long as is necessary to maintain the exclusion from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation of interest on any Lottery Bonds, the covenants contained in this subsection will survive the Project, including the application of any unexpended Financing Proceeds. The Recipient acknowledges that the Project may be

RFP # S-C26014-00008932 Addenda No. 1 Page 7 of 14

A23011_MultnomahCountyDrainageDist#1_Contract.docx Page 7 of 13 funded with proceeds of the Lottery Bonds and that failure to comply with the requirements of this subsection could adversely affect any exclusion of the interest on the Lottery Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

(8) Neither Recipient nor any related party to Recipient, within the meaning of 26 C.F.R. §1.150- 1(b), shall purchase any Lottery Bonds, from which proceeds were used to finance the Project, in an amount related to the amount of the Grant.

SECTION 8 - DEFAULTS

D. Notwithstanding subsections A through C of this Section 8, if Recipient dissolves or takes steps to dissolve its drainage district pursuant to ORS 550.360, those actions alone shall not be considered an Event of Default if the obligations of this Contract continue to be met and the obligations are ultimately transferred to the urban flood safety and water quality district that dissolves Recipient’s district.
