The Auditor of Public Accounts requires that local governing bodies approve such financings. The Code of Virginia, 1950 as amended does not allow for School Boards to establish and maintain such accounts outside of the County Treasurer's custody. As such, this lease will need to be maintained on the County's books and an appropriation will need to be made for the purchase of these school buses. DISCUSSION: The School Board received sealed bids to ensure receiving the best interest rate for purchasing a total of 14 school buses. First Citizens Bank was the bank providing the lowest rate of 1.12%. The total amount financed was $972,924.00 and will be financed for 3 years. The 2016 lease payment has already been appropriated to the School Board's 2017 budget. Please see the attached lease documents for further information. RECOMMENDATION: For auditing purposes, staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors ratify the attached lease and appropriate $972,924.00 to Fund 210 for the purpose of purchasing 14 school buses and have these funds maintained by the Treasurer's Office.

The Borrower shall maintain such insurance in such amounts and with such deductibles, if any, as required by the Bank from time to time. The Equipment shall be insured in an amount at least equal to its replacement value. All such insurance shall be maintained with such insurance company or companies as shall be satisfactory to the Bank and shall provide that losses shall be payable to the Bank and the Bank shall be named as an additional insured with respect to all such insurance. The Borrower shall deliver to the Bank the policies of insurance or duplicates thereof or other evidence satisfactory to the Bank of such insurance coverage. Each insurer shall agree by endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it that (i) it will give thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Bank of the cancellation or material modification of such policy; and (ii) the coverage of the Bank shall not be terminated, reduced or affected in any manner regardless of any breach or violation by the Borrower of any warranties, declarations and conditions of such insurance.

The Borrower agrees to cooperate fully in all accident insurance investigations, claims and litigation proceedings. The Borrower shall cooperate fully with the Bank in filing any proof of loss with respect to any insurance policy described above. In no event shall the Borrower voluntarily settle, or consent to the settlement of, any proceeding arising out of any insurance claim with respect to the Equipment without the written consent of the Bank. The Bank may, but shall not be required, to permit the Borrower, in lieu of obtaining the foregoing policies of insurance, to adopt alternative risk management programs including, without limitation, to self -insure in whole or in part, individually or in connection with other units of local government or other institutions, to participate in programs of captive insurance companies, to participate with other units of local government or other institutions in mutual or other cooperative insurance or other risk management programs, to participate in State or federal insurance programs, to take advantage of State or federal laws now or hereafter in existence limiting liability, or to establish or participate in other alternative risk management programs.. 8.2 Loss and Damage. In the event of damage to any item of Equipment, Borrower shall within five (5) days notify Lessor in writing of such loss or damage in all material particulars, and within 15 days thereafter notify Lessor in writing of the course of action, consistent with this Section 8.2, which it intends to take with respect to such lost or damaged Equipment. Borrower shall within thirty (30) days thereafter: (and may apply the proceeds of any insurance coverage to, either directly or by way of reimbursement): P53 (a) place the damaged Equipment in good repair at Borrower's sole expense, the adequacy of such repairs being subject to Bank's reasonable approval; (b) replace at Borrower's sole expense the lost or damaged Equipment with equipment having substantially similar specifications and of equal or greater value to the lost or damaged Equipment immediately prior to the time of the loss or damage, such replacement equipment to be subject to Bank's reasonable approval, whereupon such replacement equipment shall be substituted on Exhibit A hereto and other related documents by appropriate endorsement or amendment shall be executed, including documents which perfect the Bank's security interest in the replacement Equipment; or (c) pay Bank in cash all of the following: (i) all amounts owed by Borrower to Bank under this Contract in the then -current Fiscal Year and (ii) the remaining principal balance payable hereunder following such payment. Upon Bank's receipt of such payment, Borrower shall be entitled to whatever interest Bank may have in said item, in its then condition and location, without warranty expressed or implied. 8.3. Condemnation. Borrower shall immediately notify Bank if any governmental authority shall institute, or shall notify Borrower of any intent to institute, any action or proceeding for the taking of, or damages to, all or any part of the Equipment or any interest therein under the power of eminent domain, or if there shall he any damage to the Equipment due to governmental action, but not resulting in a taking of any portion of the Equipment. Borrower shall file and prosecute its claims for any such awards or payments in good faith and with due diligence and cause the same to be collected and paid over to Bank, and to the extent permitted by law hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Bank, in the Borrower's name or otherwise, to collect and receipt for any such award or payment and to file and prosecute such claims. Any condemnation award shall be applied in the same manner as insurance proceeds as if the Equipment was lost or damaged as further provided in this Section 8.3. 8.4 Net Proceeds. The Net Proceeds of any insurance policies or condemnation awards shall be deposited in any Escrow Fund or, if no Escrow Fund exists, in a separate fund held by the Bank. Unless the Borrower shall exercise its option to prepay in full the outstanding Installment Payments under Section 8.2(c), all Net Proceeds so deposited shall be applied to the prompt repair or replacement of the Equipment upon receipt of requisitions acceptable to the Bank and the Borrower stating with respect to each payment to be made: (a) the requisition number; (b) the name and address of the person, firm, or corporation to whom payment is due; (c) the amount to be paid; and (d) that each obligation mentioned therein has been properly incurred, is a proper charge against the Escrow Fund or the separate fund, as the case may be, and has not been the basis of any previous withdrawal and specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the obligation, accompanied by a bill or a statement of account for such obligation. Any repair or replacement paid for in whole or in part out of such Net Proceeds shall be the property of the Borrower, subject to Bank's security interest, and shall be included as part of the Equipment under this Contract. P54 Any Net Proceeds not applied to repair or replacement shall be paid first to the Bank to the extent necessary to pay the principal portion of the remaining Installment Payments, accrued but unpaid interest, and any other amounts due under this Contract related to the Equipment condemned, and then the balance remaining, if any, shall be paid to the Borrower.

Unless the first page of this Contract indicates that this Contract has a "Taxable" tax status, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the interest portion of the Installment Payments paid by the Borrower to the Bank under this Contract shall be tax- exempt under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code. 14 P59 15.2. Determination or Event of Taxability. If at anytime there is a "Determination of Taxability" or "Event of Taxability," as hereinafter defined, the interest rate under this Contract, from and after the Date of Taxability, as hereinafter defined, shall increase to the rate which will provide to the Bank the effective yield which it would have received had there not been a Determination of Taxability or Event of Taxability (the "Alternative Rate of Interest") payable for such time to the Date of Taxability. In such event, the Borrower also shall be required to pay to the Bank all amounts, if any, which may be necessary to reimburse the Bank for any interest, penalties or other charges assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and the Virginia Department of Taxation against the Bank by reason of the Bank's failure to include the interest portion of the Installment Payments in its gross income for income tax purposes. Installment Payment amounts under this Contract shall be increased as a result of the increased interest rate and additional interest as a result of said rate increase on all previous payments shall be paid to the Bank upon demand therefor. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank the above-mentioned Alternative Rate of Interest notwithstanding any transfer by the Bank or payment or prepayment by the Borrower prior to the date such Determination of Taxability was made. An Event of Taxability shall mean any event, occurrence or situation, resulting from an action, or failure to act, by the Borrower, the effect of which is to cause the interest portion of the Installment Payments to be includible in the gross income of the Bank for federal income tax purposes. A Determination of Taxability shall mean a determination that the interest portion of the Installment Payments is included in gross income of the Bank for federal income tax purposes, which determination shall be deemed to have been made upon the occurrence of the first to occur of the following: (a) the date on which the Bank is advised in writing by the Commissioner or any District Director of the Internal Revenue Service that, as a consequence of an action, or failure to act, by the Borrower, the interest portion of the Installment Payments (hereinafter called "Interest") is included in the gross income of the Bank for federal income tax purposes; (b) the date on which the Borrower receives notice from the Bank that the Bank has been advised (i) in writing that the Internal Revenue Service has issued a statutory notice of deficiency or similar notice to the Bank which asserts, in effect, that Interest received by the Bank is included in the gross income of the Bank for federal income tax purposes, as a result of an action, or failure to act, by the Borrower, or (ii) by an opinion of counsel (approved by the Bank and Borrower) received by the Bank which concludes, in effect, that Interest is included in the gross income of the Bank for federal income tax purposes as a result of an action, or failure to act, by the Borrower; (c) the day on which the Borrower is advised in writing by the Commissioner or any District Director of the Internal Revenue Service that there has been issued a public or private ruling of the Internal Revenue Service that the Interest is included in the gross income of the Bank for federal income tax purposes as a result of an action, or failure to act, by the Borrower; or (d) the day on which the Borrower is advised in writing by counsel to the Bank that a final determination, from which no further right of appeal exists, has been made by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America in a proceeding with respect to which the Borrower has been given written notice and an opportunity to participate and defend that the Interest is included in the gross income of the Bank for federal income tax purposes, as a result of an action, or failure to act, by the Borrower. The Date of Taxability shall mean the first date upon which Interest is included in the gross income of the Bank for federal income tax purposes as a result of an Event of Taxability or a Determination of Taxability. 15 P60 This section 15.2 shall not apply if the first page of this Contract indicates that this Contract has a "Taxable" tax status. 15.3 Bank Oualification. Unless the first page of this Contract indicate that this Contract has a "Non -Bank Qualified" or "Taxable" tax status: If at any time there is a "Change in Deductibility," as hereinafter defined, the interest rate payable hereunder shall increase, from and after the "Nonqualification Date" as hereinafter defined, to the rate which will provide to the Bank the effective yield which it would have received had there not been a Change in Deductibility. A "Change in Deductibility" means any determination by the Internal Revenue Service or any court of competent jurisdiction that the obligation of the Borrower hereunder is not a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code as a result or as a consequence of (i) an action, or failure to act, by the Borrower or (ii) a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Borrower to the Bank relating to the status of this Contract as a qualified tax-exempt obligation as defined above (including but not limited to the representations and warranties contained in Section 9(i) of this Contract). "Nonqualification date" means that date that this Contract is determined not to be a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" as a result of a Change in Deductibility. 15.4. Duty to Notify the Bank. The Borrower agrees to give prompt written notice to the Bank upon the Borrower's receipt of any oral or written notice or information from any source whatsoever to the effect that an Event of Taxability or a Determination of Taxability or a Change in Deductibility has occurred. SECTION 16. MISCELLANEOUS 16.1. Waiver. No covenant or condition of this Contract can be waived except by the written consent of the Bank. Any failure of the Bank to require strict performance by the Borrower or any waiver by the Bank of any terms, covenants or conditions herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any other breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein. 16.2. Severability. If any provision in this Contract shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such ruling shall not affect any other term or provision herein, except that the invalid or unenforceable provision and the other provisions in this Contract automatically shall be modified as minimally as possible so as to be valid and enforceable and to effectuate the intent of the parties, provided that such modification can be made while still preserving the intent of the parties, and the remaining terms and provisions, as modified, if modified, shall remain binding on the parties.

Worthy worthy(a)Wtrylocke.com P: (540) 983-9384 F: (540) 983-9400 Re: $972,924 Virginia Installment Purchase Contract — Escrow dated September 29, 2016 (the "Contract'), between First -Citizens Bank & Trust Company (the "Bank") and Pittsylvania County School Board (the "Borrower") Ladies and Gentlemen: We are legal counsel for the Pittsylvania County School Board (the "Borrower") and are familiar with the above -referenced Contract, and all other documents to be executed by Borrower in connection therewith (the "Installment Purchase Documents"). We have examined the Installment Purchase Documents, the resolutions adopted by the Borrower to authorize and execute the Installment Purchase Documents, and such other documents, records, and provisions of law as we deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for rendering the following opinion. As to questions of fact material to the opinions and statements set forth herein, we have relied upon representations of the Borrower set forth in the Installment Purchase Documents and other certificates and representations by persons including representatives of the Borrower. Whenever an opinion or statement set forth herein with respect to the existence or absence of facts is qualified by the phrase "to the best of our knowledge" or a phrase of similar import, it is intended to indicate that during the course of our representation of the Borrower in connection with the Installment Purchase Documents no information has come to our attention that should give us current actual knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation of the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference as to our knowledge or the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from the fact of our representation or any other matter. Based upon such examination and assuming the authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of all documents by parties other than the Borrower, we are of the opinion that: 1. The Borrower is a duly organized or created and validly existing political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is authorized under the laws of the 28103/8000/7721375v1 P68 GENTRY LOCKE First -Citizens Bank & Trust Company September 29, 2016 Page 2 Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States of America to enter into the Installment Purchase Documents and to perform its obligations under the Installment Purchase Documents. 2. The Installment Purchase Documents have been duly authorized by a resolution of the governing body of the Borrower, and have been this day properly executed by the officials authorized to execute them, and delivered to the Bank. 3. The Borrower has complied with any applicable bidding, budgeting, and other laws related to its entering into the Installment Purchase Documents and carrying out the terms of the Installment Purchase Documents. 4. The Installment Purchase Documents are valid and legally binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to appropriation by the Borrower. The obligations of the Borrower under the Installment Purchase Documents, and the enforceability of such obligations, may be limited or otherwise affected by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, (b) principles of equity, whether considered at law or in equity, (c) the exercise of sovereign police powers of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and (d) rules of law which may limit the enforceability on public policy grounds of any obligations of indemnification undertaken by the Borrower. 5. The provisions of Section 7 of the Contract are effective to create for the benefit of Bank a valid security interest in all right, title and interest of the Borrower in the Equipment in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code currently in effect in the Commonwealth of Virginia (the "Virginia UCC'). Upon the later of the attachment of the security interest and the filing of a financing statement (referenced in Section 7.1 of the Contract) with the Virginia State Corporation Commission, the Bank will have a perfected security interest in that portion of the Equipment in which a security interest can be perfected by filing a financing statement under Article 9 of the Virginia UCC. 6. Under existing statutes, regulations and rulings, interest under the Contract is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and interest under the Contract will continue to be so excluded so long as (1) the Borrower complies with the requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code (as defined in the Contract) in order to prevent the Contract from being an arbitrage bond and (b) the Borrower complies with the relevant covenants set forth in the Contract that must be complied with subsequent to the execution of the Contract. Interest under the Contract is not an item of tax preference under Section 57 of the Code for purposes of federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations, but such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings (as defined in Section 56(8)(3) of the Code) for purposes of calculating the amount of such tax for corporations. 28103/8000/7721375v1 P69 GENTRY LOCKE First -Citizens Bank & Trust Company September 29, 2016 Page 3 7. Under existing statutes, interest under the Contract is exempt from all income taxation by the Commonwealth of Virginia and any political subdivision thereof. 8. The Borrower's obligations under the Contract are "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. 9. To the best of our knowledge, the representations and warranties contained in Section 9 of the Contract are true and accurate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this opinion, this opinion is subject to the following exceptions, reservations, limitations, assumptions and qualifications: A. We express no opinion as to and our opinion above is subject to and limited by the enforceability, under certain circumstances, of contractual provisions respecting: severability; attorneys' fees, to the extent inconsistent with applicable law; indemnity, to the extent contrary to public policy; cumulations, non -exclusivity, or availability of remedies or the enforcement of contractual provisions to the extent contrary to public policy; provisions that contain a waiver of (i) broadly or vaguely stated rights, (ii) the benefits of statutory, regulatory, or constitutional rights, (iii) unknown future defenses, (iv) rights to damages or notice, (v) the right to trial by jury, service of process or objections to the laying of venue or forum in connection with any litigation arising out of or pertaining to the agreement in which such provision appears or (vi) the statute of limitations; provisions that attempt to change or waive rules of evidence or fix the method or quantum of proof to be applied in litigation or similar proceedings; non -waiver of remedies by a failure or delay of exercise; performance requirements, to the extent such requirements are beyond the control of the performer; choice of law provisions, choice of law clauses to the extent the provision could be determined by the court to be contrary to a public or fundamental policy of a state or country whose law would apply in the absence of a choice of law clause and to involve and issue in which such state or country has a materially greater interest in the determination of the particular issue than does the state whose law is chosen; forum selection clauses and consent to jurisdiction clauses (both asto personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction); restraints on trade; and any contractual provisions imposing penalties, forfeitures or an increased rate of interest upon delinquency in payment or the occurrence of a default or with respect to the capitalization of interest. B. We express no opinion as to and our opinion above is subject to and limited by the unenforceability of contractual provisions or contracts found by a court to be or have been unconscionable or to constitute violations of public policy or to result in a wholly unintended level of hardship. 28103/8000/7721375v1 P70 GENTRY LOCKE First -Citizens Bank & Trust Company September 29, 2016 Page 4 C. Our opinion is subject to and limited by the assumption that the Bank will enforce any rights and remedies it has under the Installment Purchase Documents and all exhibits thereto in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. D. We express no opinion, and none should be inferred, as to (i) the compliance of the Bank with any local, state, federal or foreign law or regulation that may, because of the nature of its respective business, be applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Installment Purchase Documents, (ii) compliance with or applicability of any local, state or federal environmental, hazardous waste, consumer protection, product safety or registration, fraudulent transfer, securities, or tax laws, rules or regulations, (iii) the enforceability of any nondisclosure or confidentiality provisions, restrictions, limitations or obligations contained in the Installment Purchase Documents, or (iv) the title of any person or party to any real or personal property, or the existence, creation, enforceability, perfection (except as expressly provided herein) or priority of any lien, security interest or other encumbrance in or on any real or personal property. E. No opinion is expressed as to whether a court would limit the exercise or enforcement of rights or remedies against the Borrower under the Installment Purchase Documents in the event of any default if it is determined that such default is not material or if such exercise or enforcement is not reasonably necessary for a non -defaulting party's protection. F. We express no opinion as to any provision in any of the Installment Purchase Documents whereby the Borrower purports to appoint an attorney in fact to act on behalf of the Borrower. G. This opinion relates only to matters as of 11:59 p.m. on the date hereof, and we express no opinion with respect to any transaction, transfer, conveyance or obligation occurring after such time on the date hereof. H. We express no opinion in paragraphs 5 and 9 with respect to (a) money, (b) deposit accounts, (c) letter of credit rights, (d) property covered by a certificate of title statute, (e) as -extracted collateral or timber to be cut, (f) any property subject to a statute, regulation or treaty of the United States whose requirements for a security interest's obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor with respect to the property preempt Section 8.9A -310(a) of the Virginia UCC, (g) goods that are or are to become fixtures as defined in Section 8.9A-102(41) of the Virginia UCC, (h) property of the type described in Section 8.9A-302 of the Virginia UCC, (i) commercial tort claims that are not listed and described with specification on an exhibit to the Contract, 0) after-acquired commercial tort claims, or (k) property for which a security interest may not be perfected by filing. 28 103/8000/7721375v I P71 GENTRY LOCKE First -Citizens Bank & Trust Company September 29, 2016 Page 5 We have not been asked to, and do not, render any opinion with respect to any matters except as expressly set forth above. This opinion is solely for Bank's benefit, and the benefit of any successor or assign of Bank, to be used solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Installment Purchase Documents and may not be used for any other purpose, distributed to or relied upon by any other person, quoted in whole or in part or otherwise reproduced in any other document, in each case without our prior written consent, except (i) to any successor or assignee of Bank's interests in the Installment Purchase Documents, (ii) to Bank's independent auditors, (iii) to regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over Bank and (iv) as otherwise compelled by state or federal law.

WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Borrower entered into an Installment Purchase Contract dated as of the date hereof (the "Contract") with FIRST -CITIZENS BANK & TRUST COMPANY as Bank for the purpose of purchasing the personal property described in the Contract (the "Equipment"); and WHEREAS, Borrower is borrowing the sum of $972,924 DOLLARS (the "Purchase Price") from the Bank to finance the costs of the Project (the "Costs of Construction"); and WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Contract; and WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent is willing to serve as Escrow Agent upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: Creation of Escrow Fund. (a) Deposit into Escrow Account. Upon advance, some or all of the Purchase Price will be deposited by the Bank with the Escrow Agent into a special account of the Borrower with the Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Account'). The sum so deposited shall constitute the principal of the Escrow Fund, and shall be held by the Escrow Agent in escrow in a separate fund designated as the "Escrow Fund" and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. (b) Separate Fund. The Escrow Account shall be held separate and apart from all other funds of the Borrower. All moneys deposited in the Escrow Account are the property of Borrower.

All amounts when on deposit in P75 the Escrow Account shall be subject to a lien and charge in favor of the Bank to secure the Borrower's obligations under the Contract. (c) FDIC Insurance and Collateralization.

The Borrower agrees that such investment and reinvestment complies with federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances governing investment of escrowed funds held pursuant to a loan arrangement similar in substance to the arrangement contemplated by the Contract. Accordingly the Escrow Agent, so long as it invests the Escrow Fund in a Bank depository account, shall not be responsible for any liability, cost, expense, loss or claim of any kind, directly or indirectly arising out of or related to the investment or reinvestment of the Escrow Fund, and the Borrower agrees to release and indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and the Bank, pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, from any such liability, cost, expense, loss or claim. 3. Disbursements. (a) Payment by Escrow Agent.

Except as otherwise agreed by the Bank in its discretion, disbursements shall be limited to two per calendar month. "Equipment Acquisition Costs" means all costs of the design, planning, acquiring, installing of the Equipment as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the designated interest component of "Installment Payments" (as defined in the Contract) including (a) sums required to reimburse the Borrower or its agents for advances made for any such costs, (b) interest during the installation process, and (c) all costs related to the financing of the Equipment through the Contract, including, but not limited to, engineering and legal fees.

Reliance of Escrow Agent on Documents. The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any written notice, request, waiver, consent, certificate, receipt, authorization, power of attorney, or other instrument or document which the Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine and to be what it purports to be. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner for the sufficiency or correctness as to the form, manner of execution, or validity of any instrument or as to the identity, authority, or right of any person executing the same; and the Escrow Agent's duties hereunder shall be limited to the receipt of such moneys, instruments or other documents received by it as the Escrow agent, and for the disposition of the same in accordance herewith. 6. Limitation of Liability. Neither Escrow Agent nor its officers, employees, directors, agents or affiliates shall: (a) be liable for any good faith action, omission, or error in judgment in performing Escrow Agent's duties under this Agreement, but shall be liable only for losses caused by Escrow Agent's gross negligence or intentional misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement; (b) in any event be liable for any special, speculative or consequential damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any punitive damages; (c) be liable for any loss arising from any act or failure to act by any third party, including a failure to follow Escrow Agent's instructions or to honor its demands, or from any delay or difficulty arising from applicable rules, regulations, procedures, or requirements; (d) be liable for any loss arising from, or failure to perform when performance is rendered unfeasible, or significantly more costly, by causes beyond Escrow Agent's control, including equipment, communications and transportation failures and interruptions, governmental orders and actions, war or military action, civil unrest or commotion, catastrophes, strikes or other labor disturbances, or natural disasters; (e) be liable for loss or deemed in violation of any provision of this Agreement or applicable law if, promptly after the discovery of the mistake, Escrow Agent takes whatever actions may be practical under the circumstances to remedy the mistake, or if Escrow Agent is unable to correct a mistake due to Borrower's failure to act; (f) be subject to liability for acting in accordance with Borrower's instructions or arising from any other exercise of authority by Borrower; or (g) have any responsibility for providing legal or tax advice. Any liability of Escrow Agent to Borrower shall be limited to the lesser of the total fees charged or to be charged Borrower by Escrow Agent under this Agreement or the actual damages suffered by Borrower. 7. Indemnification of Escrow Agent,• Lien Against Escrow Fund. Unless the Escrow Agent is guilty of gross negligence or intentional misconduct with regard to its duties hereunder, the Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, agrees to indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or any other expenses, fees or charges of any character or nature, which the Escrow Agent may incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of its acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement; and in connection therewith, to indemnify the Escrow Agent against any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and the cost of defending any action, suit or proceeding or resisting any claim. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Escrow Agent shall be vested with a lien on all property deposited hereunder, for indemnification, for reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, for any suit, interpleader or P77 otherwise, or any other expenses, fees or charges of any character or nature, which may be incurred by the Escrow Agent by reason of disputes arising between the Borrower and the Escrow Agent as to the correct interpretation of this Agreement and instructions given to the Escrow Agent hereunder, or otherwise, with the right of Escrow Agent, regardless of the instructions aforesaid, to hold the said property until and unless said additional expenses, fees and charges shall be fully paid. The indemnification obligations created by this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 8. Discretion of the Escrow Agent to file Civil Action in the Event of Dispute. If a disagreement about the interpretation of this Contract, or about the rights and obligations or the propriety of any action contemplated by the Escrow Agent hereunder shall arise, the Escrow Agent may, but shall not be required to, bring an appropriate civil action to resolve the disagreement. The Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed by the party adjudged at fault for all costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in connection with such civil action, and shall be fully protected in suspending all or part of its activities under Contract until a final judgment in such action is received. 9. Consultation with Counsel. If the Escrow Agent, after consultation with the Borrower, is unsure of its duties and obligations as Escrow Agent under this Agreement, it may consult with competent counsel of its own choice (which may be internal or external counsel to the Bank), and in those circumstances it (a) shall have full and complete authorization to act, and shall not be liable for acting, in accordance with the reasoned opinion of such counsel, and (b) shall be reimbursed for the reasonable expenses charged it by such counsel. The Escrow Agent shall otherwise not be liable for any mistakes of fact or errors of judgment, or for any acts or omissions of any kind unless caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct. 10. Compensation of Escrow Aaent. For its regular services under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall impose no fees or charges for its services. However, when unusual circumstances cause the Escrow Agent to take on extraordinary duties or responsibilities, the Escrow Agent will be entitled to charge Borrower a reasonable fee for its extraordinary services and to be reimbursed by Borrower for cost of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that can be directly allocated to those extraordinary expenses.

To assist in the site development for the project, the Tobacco Commission awarded the County a $155,000 Tobacco Regional Opportunity Fund. DISCUSSION: Pittsylvania County has been awarded $155,000 from the Tobacco Regional Opportunity Fund by the Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission.

For philanthropic naming rights not covered by an approved naming rights opportunity plan, a philanthropic naming rights plan shall be developed. In developing said plans, or in reviewing nominations for philanthropic naming rights as provided herein, the following criteria shall be complied with: A. Philanthropic naming rights opportunity plans shall establish an aggregrate campaign goal. Factors to be considered in development of the goal shall include, but not be limited to, capital costs, annual operating and maintenance costs, and desirability and marketability of the opportunity.

E. Naming rights opportunity plans shall establish a review process either by a standing committee (the composition shall be identified in the plan) or by department employee(s), and shall be approved by the County BOS by resolution before implementation of the plan. F. The review committee established in the plan shall consider compliance with the established naming rights policy; whether the donation is from a potentially controversial source (e.g tobacco, alcohol, etc.); appropriate signage; compliance with the required approval process for accepting Page 2 of 3 P88 donations; whether a donor contract is appropriate, and if so, the terms thereof; citizen input; and any other relevant factors. In addition, upon notice to the BOS, the County Administrator, or his/her designee, may refuse any financial and/or in-kind donation if it is deemed to not be in the best interests of the County.
