Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 5 — Rebate Funds., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 5. Rebate Funds.
(A) In addition to the other funds and accounts created
pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall establish and maintain
a fund separate from any other fund established and maintained
hereunder and designated as the “Rebate Fund.” The Trustee shall
also establish and maintain within the Rebate Fund a separate
subaccount designated as the “1997 Series A Rebate Account.”
There shall be deposited in the 1997 Series A Rebate Account
from Revenues or other lawfully available moneys such amounts
as are required to be deposited therein pursuant to the Tax
Certificate with respect to the 1997 Series A Bonds. All money at
any time deposited in the 1997 Series A Rebate Account shall be
held by the Trustee in trust, to the extent required to satisfy the
Rebate Requirement for the 1997 Series A Bonds (as defined in
the Tax Certificate with respect to the 1997 Series A Bonds), for
payment to the United States of America. All amounts required to
be deposited into or on deposit in the 1997 Series A Rebate
Account shall be governed exclusively by this Section and by the
Tax Certificate with respect to the 1997 Series A Bonds (which is
incorporated herein by reference).
(B) The Trustee shall pay to the United States, out of amounts
in the 1997 Series A Rebate Account,
(1) not later than 30 days after the end of the fifth Bond
Year and not less frequently than once each five years
thereafter, an amount equal to at least 90% of the Rebate
Requirement for the 1997 Series A Bonds; and
(2) not later than 60 days after the retirement of the 1997
Series A Bonds, an amount equal to 100% of the Rebate
Requirement with respect to such Bonds (determined as of
the date of the retirement of such Bonds). In the event that,
prior to the time of any required payment out of the 1997
Series A Rebate Account, the amount in the 1997 Series A
Rebate Account is not sufficient to make such payment when
such payment is due, the Government shall calculate and

direct the Trustee to deposit from Revenues or other lawfully
available moneys an amount equal to such deficiency into the
1997 Series A Rebate Account prior to the time such payment
is due.
Within thirty (30) days after the end of every fifth Bond Year,
and within fifty-five (55) days after the date on which no Bonds
are outstanding, the Trustee shall request the Government to
deliver to the Trustee a certificate stating whether any rebate
payment is required to be made and the amount of any such rebate
payment to be made, as set forth in the Tax Certificate, and to
deliver to the Trustee any amount so required to be paid.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture,
any amount received with respect to a Nonpurpose Investment (as
defined in the Tax Certificate with respect to the 1997 Series A
Bonds) credited to the 1997 Series A Rebate Account shall be
retained in the 1997 Series A Rebate Account upon the receipt
thereof.
In the event that on the first day of any Bond Year the amount
credited to the 1997 Series A Rebate Account exceeds the Rebate
Requirement for the 1997 Series A Bonds, the Trustee shall
transfer the excess from the 1997 Series A Rebate Account to the
Revenue Fund.
For purposes of crediting amounts to the 1997 Series A
Rebate Account or withdrawing amounts from the 1997 Series A
Rebate Account, Nonpurpose Investments shall be valued in the
manner provided in the Tax Certificate with respect to the 1997
Series A Bonds.
(C) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section, if the
Government shall provide to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
that any specified action required under this Section is no longer
required or that some further or different action is required to
maintain the exclusion from federal income tax of interest with
respect to any Series of Bonds, the Trustee and the Government
may conclusively rely on such opinion in complying with the
requirements of this Section, and, notwithstanding Article IX of
this Indenture, the covenants hereunder shall be deemed to be
modified to that extent.
