Dear Ms. Fox:

I, being an authorized officer of the ___________________, certify that the Manager has taken
and caused to be taken, and covenants that it will take and cause to be taken, all actions that may
be required of it for the interest on the Obligations to be and to remain excluded from gross
income for federal income tax purposes under the Code and not to become an item of tax
preference directly subject to the alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 of the Code.
Further, the Manager represents that it has not taken or permitted to be taken on its behalf, and
covenants that it will not take or permit to be taken on its behalf, any actions that would cause
interest on the Obligations to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes under
the Code or would cause the interest on the Obligations to become an item of tax preference
directly subject to the alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 or any actions that would
adversely affect those exclusions under the provisions of the Code.

Sincerely,
