DOCSLAI A-29-741-2429741.4
40490-7 MPP -3-
Installment Payment or Parity Obligation which would, but for such Payment Agreement, be
treated as an obligation bearing interest at a fixed interest rate instead shall be treated as an
obligation bearing interest at a Variable Interest Rate; and accordingly, the amount of interest
deemed to be payable on any Installment Payment or Parity Obligation with respect to which a
Payment Agreement is in force shall, so long as the Qualified Counterparty thereto is not in
default thereunder, be an amount equal to the amount of interest that would be payable at the rate
or rates stated in such Installment Payment or Parity Obligation plus the Payment Agreement
Payments minus the Payment Agreement Receipts, and for the purpose of calculating Payment
Agreement Receipts and Payment Agreement Payments under such Payment Agreement, the
following assumptions shall be made:
(1) Counterparty Obligated to Pay Actual Variable Interest Rate on
Variable Interest Rate Parity Obligations. If the Payment Agreement obligates a
Qualified Counterparty to make payments to the City based on the actual Variable
Interest Rate on an Installment Payment or a Parity Obligation that would, but
for the Payment Agreement, be treated as a Variable Interest Rate Parity
Obligation and obligates the City to make payments to the Qualified Counterparty
based on a fixed rate, payments by the City to the Qualified Counterparty shall be
assumed to be made at the fixed rate specified by the Payment Agreement and
payments by the Qualified Counterparty to the City shall be assumed to be made
at the actual Variable Interest Rate on such Installment Payment or Parity
Obligation, without regard to the occurrence of any event that, under the
provisions of the Payment Agreement, would permit the Qualified Counterparty
to make payments on any basis other than the actual Variable Interest Rate on
such Installment Payment or Parity Obligation, and such Installment Payment
or _Parity Obligation shall_be_ set forth in a debt service schedule based on that
assumption;
(2) Variable Interest Rate Parity Obligations and Payment Agreements
Having the Same Variable Interest Rate Component. If both a Payment
Agreement and the related Installment Payment or Parity Obligation that would,
but for the Payment Agreement, be treated as a Variable Interest Rate Parity
Obligation include a variable interest rate payment component that is required to
be calculated on the same basis (including, without limitation, on the basis of the
same variable interest rate index), it shall be assumed that the variable interest rate
payment component payable pursuant to the Payment Agreement is equal in
amount to the variable interest rate component payable on such -Installment
Payment or Parity Obligation;
(3) Variable Interest Rate Parity Obligations and Payment Agreements
Having Different Variable Interest Rate Components. If a Payment Agreement
obligates either the City or the Qualified Counterparty to make payments of a
variable interest rate component on a basis that is different (including, without
limitation, on a different variable interest rate index) from the basis that is
required to be used to calculate interest on the Installment Payment or Parity
Obligation that would, but for the Payment Agreement, be treated as a Variable
Interest Rate Parity Obligation it shall be assumed:
DOC SLA 1:429-744:2429741.4
40490-7 MPP -4-

Interest Rate Index. If payments by the City under the Payment
Agreement are based on a variable interest rate index and payments by the
Qualified Counterparty are based on a fixed interest rate, payments by the
City to the Qualified Counterparty will be based upon an interest rate
equal to the Assumed RBI -based Rate, and payments by the Qualified
Counterparty to the City will be based on the fixed rate specified by the
Payment Agreement; and
(b) City Obligated to Make Payments Based on Fixed Interest
Rate. If payments by the City under the Payment Agreement are based on
a fixed interest rate and payments by the Qualified Counterparty are based
on a variable interest rate index, payments by the City to the Qualified
Counterparty will be based on an interest rate equal to the rate that is one
hundred percent (100%) of the fixed interest rate specified by the Payment
Agreement to be paid by the City, and payments by the Qualified
Counterparty to the City will be based on a rate equal to the Assumed
RBI -based Rate as the variable interest rate deemed to apply to the
Variable Interest Rate Parity Obligation.
(4) Certain Payment Agreements May be Disregarded.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (C)(1), (2) and (3) of this
definition, the City shall not be required to (but may at its option) take into
account as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this definition (for the purpose of
determining Annual Debt Service) the effects of any Payment Agreement that has
a remaining term of ten (10) years or less;
(D) Debt Service on Parity Payment Agreements. No interest shall be taken
into account with respect to a Parity Payment Agreement for any period during which Payment
Agreement Payments on that Parity Payment Agreement are taken into account in determining
Annual Debt Service on a related Installment Payment or a Parity Obligation under
subparagraph (C) of this definition; provided, that for any period during which Payment
Agreement Payments are not taken into account in calculating Annual Debt Service on any
Installment -Payment or Parity Obligation because the Parity Payment Agreement is not then
related to any otherInstallment Payment or Parity Obligation, interest on that Parity Payment
Agreement shall be taken into account by assuming:
(1) City Obligated to Make Payments Based on Fixed Interest Rate. If
the City is obligated to make Payment Agreement Payments based on a fixed
interest rate and the Qualified Counterparty is obligated to make payments based
on a variable interest rate index, payments by the City will be based on the
specified fixed rate, and payments by the Qualified Counterparty will be based on
a rate equal to the average rate determined by the variable interest rate index
specified by the Payment Agreement during the calendar quarter preceding the

Payment Agreement; and

(E) Balloon Parity Obligations. For purposes of calculating Annual Debt
Service on any Balloon Parity Obligations, it shall be assumed that the principal of those Balloon

Code), in such manner or to such extent as would adversely affect the Tax-exempt status of
interest on the Series C Certificates.
(b) The Corporation shall not take any action, or fail to take any action, if any

bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code, and in furtherance thereof, shall not make
any use of the proceeds of the Series C Certificates or any of the property financed or refinanced
with proceeds of the Series C Certificates, or any portion thereof, or any other funds of the

will comply with applicable requirements of the Code and all regulations of the United States
Department of the Treasury issued thereunder, to the extent such requirements are, at the time,

extent arising out of the receipt, application or disbursement of any of the Installment Payments

amend, modify or terminate any of the terms of the Agreement, or consent to any such
supplement, amendment, modification or termination, without the prior written consent of the
Certificate Insurer (if the Certificate Insurer is not in default under a Certificate Insurance Policy)

which the Corporation is required to deposit with the Trustee hereunder and for the purpose of
allocating, applying and using such money as provided herein and for the purpose of paying the
interest and principal and prepayment premiums, if any, evidenced by the Certificates presented
for payment and for the purpose of canceling all paid or prepaid Certificates as provided herein.
The Corporation agrees that it will at all times maintain a Trustee having a corporate trust office
in either San Francisco, California or Los Angeles, California.
(b) The Corporation may at any time (unless there exists any Event of Default
as defined in Section 8.01 hereof), and upon written direction from the Certificate Insurer shall,
remove the Trustee initially appointed and any successor thereto and may appoint a successor or
successors thereto by an instrument in writing; provided that any such successor shall be a
banking corporation or trust company doing business and having a principal office in either San
Francisco, California or Los Angeles, California, having a combined capital (exclusive of
borrowed capital) and surplus of at least seventy-five million dollars ($75,000,000) and subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state Corporation, acceptable to the Certificate
Insurer. If such banking corporation or trust company publishes a report of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining Corporation
above referred to, then for the purpose of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such
bank or trust company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its
most recent report of condition so published. The Trustee may at any time resign by giving
written notice of such resignation to the Corporation and the Certificate Insurer and by mailing to
the Owners notice of such resignation. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Corporation shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by an instrument in writing. Any
removal or resignation of a Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become
effective only upon the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee. If, within thirty
(30) days after notice of the removal or resignation of the Trustee no successor Trustee shall
have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, the removed or resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee, which court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe and as may be required by law, appoint a successor Trustee having the qualifications
required hereby.
(c) The Trustee shall, prior to an Event of Default, and after the curing of all
Events of Default that may have occurred, perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in the Trust Agreement and no implied duties or obligations shall be read
into this Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall, during the existence of any Event of Default (that
has not been cured), exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it hereby, and use the same

degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the

as to the sufficiency or validity hereof or of the Certificates, or shall incur any responsibility in
respect thereof other than in connection with the rights or obligations assigned to or imposed
upon it herein, in the Certificates or in law or equity. The Trustee shall not be liable in
connection with the performance of its duties hereunder except for its own active or passive
negligence, willful misconduct or breach of duty.

faith by a responsible officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in

to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Owners of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Certificates at the time Outstanding, relating to the

exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee hereunder.
(d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in it hereby at the request, order or direction of any of the Owners pursuant to the

indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby. The
Trustee has no obligation or liability to the Owners for the payment of interest, principal or
prepayment premium, if any, evidenced by the Certificates from its own funds; but rather the
Trustee's obligations shall be limited to the performance of its duties hereunder.
(e) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default
hereunder or default under the Agreement unless and until it shall have actual knowledge thereof
or shall have received written notice thereof at its Corporate Trust Office. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the

its request for all expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any of the provisions hereof (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except
any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, default or willful
misconduct. The Corporation, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify, defend and hold
