Bond Year

For tax purposes, a twelve-month period which ends on a date selected by the Issuer for the purpose of the Arbitrage rules. The first and last Bond Year of a Bond Issue may be shorter than a twelve-month period (and as a practical matter typically will be).  If no date is selected by the Issuer before the earlier of the final Maturity Date of the Bond Issue or the date that is five years after the issuance date of the Bonds, the Bond Years end on each anniversary of the issuance date of the Bonds and on the final Maturity Date.
