The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessee, pursuant to Constitutional, statutory and/or home rule provisions which authorize this transaction and Resolution, Item No. 14, Augusta Commission meeting of April 6, 2004, attached as Exhibit A to the Agreement. 3.

In the event the Lessor obtains a judgment against Lessee in money damages, as a result of an event of default under the Agreement, Lessee will be obligated to pay such judgment. 4, Applicable public bidding requirements have been complied with, 5, To the best of my knowledge, no litigation is pending or threatened in any court or other tribunal, state or federal, which questions or affects the validity of the resolution or the Agreement. 6. The signatures of the officers of City of Augusta which appear on the Agreement are true and genuine; I know said officers and know them to hold the offices set forth below their names, Augusta Law Department 501 Greene Street, Suite 302, Augusta, Georgia 30901 (706) 842-5550 - Fax (706) 842-5556 County Attorney 701 Greene Street, Suite 104, Augusta, Georgia 3090 J (706)724-6597 - Fax (706) 722-4817 7.
