meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder or otherwise cause the interest on the Refunded Bonds to be included as gross income for purposes of federal income taxation, and (11) such investment does not violate any provision of Florida law or of the Resolution; and (c) a written confirmation from Standard & Poor's Ratings Group that the then- current rating on the Refunded Bonds will not be lowered or withdrawn on account of such substitution; provided, that the Escrow Agent shall not release any Escrow Securities then held in the Escrow Fund for such sale, transfer, exchange, redemption or other disposition until the Escrow Agent shall be in possession of the proceeds thereof or the substituted securities. In the event the above-referenced verification concludes that there are surplus moneys in the Escrow Fund, such surplus moneys shall be released, upon written request, to the County upon its written direction. The Escrow Fund shall continue in effect until the date upon which the Escrow Agent makes the final payment to the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds in an amount sufficient to pay the Refunded Bonds as described in Schedule B hereto, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall sell upon written direction from the County or redeem any Escrow Securities remaining in the Escrow Fund, and shall remit to the County the proceeds thereof, together with all other money, if any, then remaining in the Escrow Fund. 10. The County has been advised by counsel that, concurrently with the deposit of the Initial Escrow Securities set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Refunded Bonds are hereby deemed to have been paid and discharged within the meaning and with the effect expressed in the Indenture. The County hereby irrevocably instructs the Escrow Agent to cause the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds to give notice of redemption of the Refunded Bonds in the manner provided in the Indenture, and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees to perform said function. The Refunded Bonds shall be redeemed on 1, 2013 at a redemption price of 100% of par, plus accrued interest. 11. Concurrently with the deposit of the Escrow Securities set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Refunded Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the effect expressed in the Indenture. Within thirty (30) days of the deposit of moneys into the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent, on behalf of the County, shall cause the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds to mail to the Holders of the Refunded Bonds the notice substantially in the form provided in Schedule C attached hereto. 12. The Escrow Fund hereby created shall be irrevocable and the holders of the Refunded Bonds shall have an express lien on all Escrow Securities and the Cash Deposit on deposit in the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms hereof and the interest earnings thereon until paid out, used and applied in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture. Neither the County nor the Escrow Agent shall cause nor permit any other lien or interest whatsoever to be imposed upon the Escrow Fund. 13. This Agreement is made for the benefit of the County and the holders from time to time of the Refunded Bonds and it shall not be repealed, revoked, altered or amended or supplemented in whole or in part without the written consent of all such holders of the Refunded Bonds and the written consent of the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that the County and the Escrow Agent may, without the consent of, or notice to, such holders, enter into such agreements supplemental to this Agreement as shall not adversely affect the rights of such holders and as shall not be inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, for any one or more of the following purposes: (a) to cure any ambiguity or formal defect or omission in this Agreement, (b) to grant, or confer upon, the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Refunded Bonds, any additional rights, remedies, powers or authority that may lawfully be granted to, or conferred upon, such holders or the Escrow Agent; and (c) to subject this Agreement to additional funds, securities or properties. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon an unqualified opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to compliance with this Section 13, including the extent, if any, to which any change, modification or addition affects the rights of the holders of the Refunded Bonds, or that any instrument executed hereunder complies with the conditions and provisions of this Section 13. 14. In consideration of the services rendered by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement, the County agrees to and shall pay to the Escrow Agent a one-time up front fee of $ plus expenses, and reasonable, customary and ordinary expenses, charges, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, and other disbursements incurred by it in connection with publication of notices of redemption, substitutions of Escrow Securities and appointment of a successor Escrow Agent hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall have no lien whatsoever upon any of the Escrow Securities in said Escrow Fund for the payment of such proper fees and expenses. The County hereby assumes liability for, and hereby agrees (whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated) to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify, protect, save and keep harmless the Escrow Agent and its respective successors, assigns, agents and servants, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, at any time, the Escrow Agent (whether or not also indemnified against the same by the County or any other person under any other agreement or instrument) and in any way relating to or arising out of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the establishment of the Escrow Fund established hereunder, the acceptance of the funds and securities deposited hereunder, the purchase of the Escrow Securities, the retention of the Escrow Securities or the proceeds thereof, any payment, transfer or other application of funds or securities by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and performance by the Escrow Agent of any other action required or permitted to be undertaken by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that the County shall not be required to indemnify the Escrow Agent against its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall the County be liable to any person by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby other than to the Escrow Agent as set forth in this Section 14. The indemnities contained in this Section 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the sooner resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Escrow Agent's successors and assigns. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibilities to any person in connection herewith except those specifically provided herein and shall not be responsible for anything done or omitted to be done by it except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any obligation imposed on it hereunder. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Escrow Agent's duties and obligations in connection with this Agreement are confined to those expressly defined herein, and no implied covenants or duties shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. If, however, the Escrow Agent is called upon by the terms of this Agreement to determine the occurrence of any event or contingency, the Escrow Agent shall be obligated in making such determination, only to exercise reasonable care and diligence, and in the event of error in making such determination, the Escrow Agent shall be liable only for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent, except as herein specifically provided for, is not a party to, nor is it bound by nor need it give consideration to the terms or provisions of any other agreement or undertaking between the County and other persons and the Escrow Agent assents to and is to give consideration only to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Unless it is specifically provided herein, the Escrow Agent assents to and is to give consideration only to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Unless it is specifically provided herein, the Escrow Agent has no duty to determine or inquire into the happening or occurrence of any event or contingency or the performance or failure of performance of the County with respect to arrangements or contracts with others, with the Escrow Agent's sole duty hereunder being to safeguard the Escrow Fund and to dispose of and deliver the same in accordance with this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may conclusively rely on and act without liability, upon any written notice, request, waiver, opinion, 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 and the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to make an investigation or inquiry as to matters contained in any such instrument or document. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel with respect to any question relating to its duties or responsibilities hereunder or otherwise in connection herewith and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Escrow Agent in good faith upon the advice of such counsel. Any payment obligation of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall be paid from and is limited to funds available, established and maintained hereunder and the Escrow Agent shall not be required to expend its own funds for the performance of its duties under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may act through its agents and attorneys in carrying out its duties under this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; hurricanes or other storms; wars; terrorism; similar military disturbances; sabotage; epidemic; pandemic; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental action; it being understood that the Escrow Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances. 15. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the instructions or directions shall be signed by a person as may be designated and authorized to sign for the County, by an authorized representative of the County, who shall provide to the Escrow Agent an incumbency certificate listing such designated persons, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the County elects to give the Escrow Agent e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Escrow Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Escrow Agent's understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Escrow Agent's reliance upon and compliance with such instructions
