Handbook
Roger Davis would be the lead attorney, assisted primarily by John Wang with Chas Cardall handling tax
issues, with regard to all financing matters for the County of Hawaii. They would be assisted by the other
members of Orrick’s Hawaii team and other members of Orrick's public finance department as required by
the demands of any particular financing. Resumes of the attorneys most likely to be involved are included
as Exhibit A. Below is a narrative description of the background of the lead members of the County of
Hawaii team.
Roger L. Davis
Mr. Davis is the former Chairman of Orrick’s Public Finance Department and led that practice at Orrick for
more than 30 years. Over the course of his career, Mr. Davis has been principally responsible as lead bond
counsel, disclosure counsel or underwriters’ counsel for over one thousand transactions of almost every
conceivable type and has participated in many others, and has handled a great many non-transactional
public finance matters (e.g., legislation, IRS rulings and audits, SEC no action letters and investigations,
test litigation, investment agreements, interest rate swaps, escrow restructurings, default work-outs, etc.).
In addition, Mr. Davis has written (and, on occasion, helped lobby) a substantial amount of the bond related
legislation enacted in California and some bond related legislation for other states, including Hawaii. Mr.
Davis co-authored articles for the National Law Journal about: (1) the effect on state and local governments
STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS TO THE COUNTY OF HAWAII
ORRICK, HERRINGTON & SUTCLIFFE LLP 3
of the SEC’s continuing disclosure rules and (2) liability of municipal issuers in the event their bonds are
determined by the IRS to be taxable. Clients and other participants have reported that they particularly
value Mr. Davis for the breadth of his experience and ability to apply it in finding or creating solutions and
otherwise improving the structure and terms of the matters in which he is involved.
For over two decades, Hawaii has been one of Mr. Davis’s principal areas of concentration. Since 1988,
he has worked on more than 260 bond transactions involving Hawaii State or County issuers. For example,
General Obligation Bonds (including issues for the State of Hawaii, the City and County of Honolulu, the
County of Maui, the County of Kauai and the County of Hawaii).
Revenue Bonds (for transportation including Hawaii Harbor Revenue Bonds and Hawaii Highway Revenue
Bonds, revenue bonds for the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, the University of Hawaii and Hawaii
Health Systems Corporation, bonds backed by excise, sales or transient accommodations taxes, including
legislation and test litigation for Hawaii Convention Center Bonds (Convention Center Authority v. Anzai),
water revenue bonds and wastewater revenue bonds for the City and County of Honolulu and an EB5 Loan
Agreement for the University of Hawaii).
Special improvement district (a.k.a., assessment) and community facilities district (a.k.a., Mello-Roos)
bonds, the type of bonds authorized to be issued under Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 46-80.1. Community
facilities districts ("CFDs") have their origin in Hawaii in a speech given by Roger Davis on infrastructure finance
sponsored by the Hawaii Island Economic Development Board. He devoted only a few minutes at the end of
his speech to CFDs, which were available in California and a few other states but not in Hawaii. After the
speech, several people asked Mr. Davis to prepare CFD legislation for Hawaii. Mr. Davis drafted what is now
Section 46-80.1 H.R.S. He lobbied for it with the State legislature for several years until it became law. He
gave a number of presentations at meetings of county finance officers and others explaining Section 46-80.1
and CFD financing. He drafted the model ordinance implementing the authority provided by Section 46-80.1,
on which the ordinances adopted by the County of Hawaii, the City and County of Honolulu, and the County of
Kauai were based.
Lease financing (including certificates of participation in financing leases, such as the lease agreement for the
State Telecommunications System for the Hawaii State Government, IFB No. F-95-022-OHMKL (the first lease
financing for Hawaii), the certificates of participation “COPs” financing for the State Office Building in Kapolei
(Hawaii’s first COPs financing), the COPs financing of No. 1 Capitol District State Office Building, the refunding
of these two COPs financings in 2009, the State’s safety equipment lease purchase agreement in 2010, an
EB5 Loan Agreement for the University of Hawaii (2012), advice on H.B. No. 3389 (Act 119, Chapter 37D
Hawaii Revised Statutes) authorizing lease financings, co-counsel (with the Attorney General) on the petition
to the Hawaii Supreme Court regarding the validity of lease financing (In re Anzai, 85 Haw. 1, 936 P.2d 637
(1997), and general advice on lease financing, including preparation of a standard form of financing lease rider,
to be attached to all vendor leases, for the State of Hawaii and for the County of Kauai and the County of Maui).
Housing Bonds (including issues for the Hawaii Public Housing Authority (and its predecessors), Hawaii
Housing Finance & Development Corporation, the City and County of Honolulu and the County of Kauai).
Conduit Bonds (for hospitals, investor-owned utilities and private schools and colleges, including special
purpose revenue bonds for The Queen’s Health Systems, Hawaii Pacific Health, Kapiolani Health Care
System, Wahiawa General Hospital, G.N. Wilcox Memorial Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, Kahala Nui, Hawaiian

ORRICK, HERRINGTON & SUTCLIFFE LLP 4
Electric Company, Citizens Utility, Wailuku River Hydroelectric, Mid-Pacific Institute, Hawaii Pacific University,
Chaminade University, Montessori of Maui and Island Pacific Academy).
Swaps and other hedges (including explicit and embedded swaps, caps, floors, options, swaptions, and other
hedges, both primary and secondary markets; Mr. Davis helped draft Acts 38 and 39 enacted in 2003 amending
Section 47-7(b) and Section 49-4(c), H.R.S., to authorize Hawaii counties to enter into interest rate swaps and
other hedge contracts). He also co-authored the booklet on Interest Rate Swaps: Application to Tax-Exempt
Financing.
Investment Agreements (including forward purchase and reserve put agreements), including for the City and
County of Honolulu, the Board of Water Supply of the City and County of Honolulu and the County of Maui.
Disclosure Compliance (as co-head of Orrick’s disclosure group), including SEC Rule 15c2-12 continuing
disclosure for the City and County of Honolulu and the County of Maui.
Rebate and other Post-Issuance Tax Compliance (as one of the partners responsible for supervising
Orrick’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BLX Group LLC), including for the State of Hawaii, the City and County of
Honolulu, the Board of Water Supply of the City and County of Honolulu, and the County of Maui.
Audits, Investigations and Workouts (as co-head of Orrick’s Troubled Transactions Group), including IRS
audits, SEC investigations, defaults, work-outs and the like, including several IRS audits for the State of Hawaii
and the City and County of Honolulu.
A list of transactions is attached hereto as Exhibit B. At the end of Exhibit B is also a list of non-
transactional Hawaii matters on which Mr. Davis has worked during that period.
John Wang
Mr. Wang joined Orrick from Hawkins, Delafield & Wood in 2003 and became part of Orrick’s Hawaii team
in 2004. Since then, Mr. Wang has worked with a variety of different Hawaii issuers either as bond counsel
or underwriter’s counsel, including matters for the City and County of Honolulu, the State of Hawaii, the
University of Hawaii, the County of Hawaii and the County of Kauai (consisting of most of the issues listed
in Exhibit B since 2004.)
Mr. Wang, leader of Orrick's global Finance Business Unit and a partner in the Public Finance Department,
has broad experience serving as bond counsel, disclosure counsel and underwriter's counsel, focusing on
a variety of types of transactions, including municipal general obligations bonds, municipal water and
wastewater financings, solid-waste, waste-to-energy, higher education financing, pollution control,
industrial development financing, public power financing, municipal lease financings, redevelopment
financings and conduit financing for nonprofit 501(c)(3) borrowers.
Charles C. Cardall
Mr. Cardall, the former Chair of Orrick’s Tax group, has been part of Orrick’s Hawaii team for a number of
years and has been the principal tax lawyer on many of the financings listed in Exhibit B for which Orrick
was bond counsel or special tax counsel.
The tax aspects of municipal bonds is a very complex and arcane subject in which only a handful of tax
lawyers around the country can claim true expertise. One of the best and most experienced of these is
STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS TO THE COUNTY OF HAWAII
ORRICK, HERRINGTON & SUTCLIFFE LLP 5
Chas Cardall, who has specialized in the tax aspects of public finance at Orrick for more than 20 years and
reviews and provides tax advice on more than 100 bond issues a year and handles a number of IRS audits
of the tax status of bonds each year, including for the State of Hawaii and the City and County of Honolulu.
In an era of increasing IRS audits, and corresponding increased exposure of issuers of tax exempt bonds
to IRS audits and related consequences, the importance of prudent and experienced tax advice cannot be
overstated. Because Orrick has the largest and most diverse municipal bond practice in the country, its tax
lawyers, and Mr. Cardall in particular, are experienced in virtually every tax issue that may arise in the types
of transactions that may be undertaken by the County of Hawaii, and constantly up-to-date on every new
development, including IRS concerns and attitudes about these types of financings.
Hawaii Experience
We believe that in recent years Orrick and its Hawaii team have been involved in a greater number and diversity
of bond issues in Hawaii than any other firm. This has included, as bond counsel, almost every issue for the
City and County of Honolulu and for the Board of Water Supply of the City and County of Honolulu since at
least 2001 (as well as providing advice on potential homeless, street lighting and multifamily housing programs)
and every issue for the County of Maui from the fall of 1992 to the beginning of 2005 (with new engagement
starting 2020), and, as bond counsel or underwriter’s counsel, most issues by the County of Kauai since the
early 1990s and, as underwriter’s counsel, all or most recent issues by the County of Hawaii since 2008
(excluding those sold by competitive sale), as well as many issues, usually as bond counsel but occasionally
as underwriter’s counsel, for the State of Hawaii and for every State department or agency that issues tax-
exempt bonds (except Airports), and for Department of Hawaiian Homelands, the University of Hawaii and
Hawaii Health Systems Corporation. In addition to bond issues, such experience has included lease financing,
IRS ruling requests, arbitrage rebate compliance, periodic review of private use, investment contracts,
continuing disclosure, IRS audits and VCAPs, solid waste and waste-to-energy matters, transit matters
(HART), preparation of or advice on legislative statutes and ordinances, test litigation, seminars and workshops.
As a result, we are thoroughly familiar with all legal, practice, procedural, disclosure and other matters
pertaining to bond financing in Hawaii. This includes relevant portions of the State Constitution, particularly
Article VII, Sections 12 and 13 (and the related history and case law), Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 46
(pertaining to county powers), including Sections 46-15.1 and 46-15.2 (housing), Section 46-19.1 (solid
waste/H Power), Section 46-80.1 (which we wrote, authorizing community facilities districts), Chapter 47
(pertaining to general obligation bonds), Chapter 47D (pertaining to lease financing), Chapter 49 (pertaining to
revenue bonds), Sections 47-7 and 49-4 (relating to interest rate swaps and other hedges), other relevant
statutes, as well as the particular practices and procedures followed when issuing bonds.
4. A list of recent projects and the names of up to five clients who may be contacted, including
at least two for whom services were rendered during the preceding year:
Recent Projects. A list of transactions for Hawaii state and county issuers is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
At the end of Exhibit B is also a list of non-transactional Hawaii matters on which we have worked during that
period. Because a list of all transactions for which our firm served as bond counsel during just the last five
years would include several thousand transactions, we have not included such a list here, but one can be
supplied upon request.

Public Finance Practice. Orrick has maintained a substantial practice in the area of public finance
for more than 100 years. Orrick has been ranked the number one bond counsel law firm and number
one disclosure counsel law firm in the country for the last twenty years based on total volume of
financings for which it serves as bond counsel and disclosure counsel. Nationally, during 2022, Orrick
served as bond counsel on 375 transactions aggregating more than $43.56 billion (representing a
national market share of 12.1%) and served as disclosure counsel on 78 transactions aggregating
more than $19.27 billion (representing a national market share of 14.9%). What is relevant to us about
these rankings is not that Orrick may be the oldest, largest, highest-ranked or even most experienced
bond counsel firm but that so many governmental clients have put their trust in the Orrick team over
the years.
STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS TO THE COUNTY OF HAWAII
ORRICK, HERRINGTON & SUTCLIFFE LLP 7
Attached hereto as Exhibit C, are national bond counsel rankings for the last ten years and the first
quarter of 2023. In addition to serving as bond counsel and underwriter's counsel, Orrick also acts
as issuer counsel, special tax counsel, trustee's counsel, company counsel, credit provider counsel,
swap/derivative provider counsel and lender counsel in connection with the issuance of tax-exempt
bonds, as well as providing post-issuance services in connection with arbitrage rebate, continuing
disclosure, IRS audits, SEC investigations, defaults, bankruptcies and other workouts. We have
served as bond or other counsel for issues in 44 of the 50 states and several territories.
What is relevant is not so much that we are the oldest, largest or even the most experienced bond
counsel firm, but that enough governmental clients have put their trust in us, and have done so
repeatedly, to enable us to achieve and maintain the status reflected above.
Nearly 100 public finance and public finance tax attorneys are located in Austin, Houston, Los
Angeles, New York, Orange County, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington,
DC. Members of our Hawaii team are all located in San Francisco. The quality of our attorneys, the
depth of resources, the diversity of practice and the unmatched level of tax and disclosure expertise
are considered to be particular strengths of our public finance department. As the former chair of the
department, Roger Davis can assure the County of Hawaii of priority access to the full resources of
the department and the firm, including every office and practice unit.
Department Practice Groups. The public finance department at Orrick is loosely organized into
the following practice area groups:
general obligation bonds
land-secured financings (including assessment and community facilities districts)
revenue bonds (including enterprise and lease revenue bonds)
tax, revenue and grant anticipation notes
leasing and certificates of participation
water and wastewater financing
single family and multifamily housing
redevelopment agency financing
school financing
higher education, student loan and other non-profit corporation financing
public power financing
transportation financing
health care financing
industrial development, pollution control and solid waste financing
pension and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) financing
derivative products/swaps
asset securitization (delinquent taxes, federal and state grants, parking fines, tobacco
settlement revenues, consumer transition charges)
credit enhancements
arbitrage rebate
continuing disclosure
troubled transactions
The purpose of these groups is to focus and enhance expertise, efficiency, consistency, quality and
responsiveness to clients. Each group can field several teams of attorneys with broad experience in its
practice area, familiarity with all of the financing options that may be considered, knowledge of the most
recent developments in state law, federal tax law and financing techniques, and sufficient resources to meet
any rigorous financing schedule.
STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS TO THE COUNTY OF HAWAII
ORRICK, HERRINGTON & SUTCLIFFE LLP 8
Mr. Davis and Mr. Wang are each members of the General Obligation Bond Group. Since 2019, the
attorneys in this Group have worked on more than 1,000 general obligation bond issues totaling $87 billion
for states, counties, cities and other entities in California, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Nevada, New York, Oregon and Texas. They are also members of the Revenue Bond Group, which over
the same period worked on more than 1,800 revenue bond issues of virtually every conceivable type,
throughout the United States and its territories aggregating more than $2.4 billion. In addition, Mr. Davis is
a member of our Lease and Certificates of Participation Finance Group which over the same period handled
more than 100 transactions totaling more than $8 billion. Mr. Davis is also a member of Orrick’s Community
Facilities District/Assessment Financing Group, which has worked on more than 125 financings for cities,
counties, joint powers authorities, and other special districts. These financings have aggregated more than
$1 billion since 2019.
We would be pleased to supply additional information about our public finance department and its practice
specialties upon request.
We believe that the following special features distinguish Orrick's public finance practice:
more experience specifically with Hawaii county bond matters than any other bond counsel firm,
currently and for the past 20 years
more experience with Hawaii public finance generally than any other firm and with every type of
bond financing that Hawaii County may consider
a consistent team of attorneys who continuously work together on Hawaii matters
particular expertise in the tax aspects of public finance
particular expertise in securities laws matters, including Rule 15c2-12 continuing disclosure
ranked number one bond counsel nationally for the past 20 years, preeminent national reputation
and universal acceptance of our opinions by the bond market
commitment to thorough, high quality, innovative, solution-oriented client service and not just
"doing deals"
emphasis on outstanding service, responsiveness, cost effectiveness, and
attention to the needs of our client to ensure that financings work as intended and that our client's
interests are served and protected.
We are very interested in the opportunity to provide legal services for the County of Hawaii as bond counsel,
in public financing law and on any related matters and we hope that the foregoing is sufficient to
demonstrate our qualifications. We believe that we can offer the best combination of experience,
reputation, reliability, continuity, responsiveness and results. Please let us know if you have any questions
or if we can provide any additional information.
