4.4 Debt Service Reserve Account.
(a)• Monthly Deposits. - Commencing in . the first, month disbursement of
principal of the City Note in respect of the Obligor Note is to be made, Obligor shall make monthly
installment payments to the Custodian for deposit in an account maintained by the Custodian for
the accumulation of funds for payments on the Obligor Note (the "Debt Service Reserve Account,"
which term shall include any related Debt Service Reserve Investment Account established under
the Custodial Agreement and Letter Agreements), in order that the Custodian shall have sufficient
funds to make transfers to the Loan Repayment Account in payment of installments on the Obligor
Note as they come due (each such due date being an "Obligor Payment Date"). Funds in the Loan
Repayment Account shall be used to make payments on the City Note as they come due. Each such
monthly payment shall be due and payable, in immediately available funds, on the "Deposit Day,"
which shall be the fifteenth (15th) day of the month, or if such day is not a Business Day, then on
the previous Business Day; subject to adjustment in respect of any Conversion Date. Subject to the
provisions of Section 4.4(b) hereof, each such payment shall be in an amount equal to the actual
interest accruing on the Obligor Note during the corresponding month, at the rate or blended rate, as
the case may be, then in effect (the "Interest Component"), plus one -twelfth (1/12th) of the total
annual principal coming due on the Obligor Note on the next Obligor Payment Date (the "Principal
Component"); provided that the monthly payment obligation in respect of the Interest Component
shall be adjusted ratably in any month the Loan is not outstanding for the entire month; and
provided further, that the monthly payment obligation in respect of the Principal Component shall
be adjusted ratably during any period that fewer than twelve (12) Deposit Days are scheduled to
Loan Agreement Page 11
occur prior to the corresponding Obligor Payment Date in respect of principal of the Obligor Note.
Except as provided in Section 4.4(b) below, Obligor shall not be entitled to any reductions in, or
credits against, deposits to the Debt Service Reserve Account based upon interest or earnings
credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account (including any Debt Service Reserve Investment
Account).
(b) Interest Stabilization Payments and Subsidy. Obligor and the City intend,
notwithstanding the actual rate of interest payable on the Loan and Obligor Note from time to
time, that to the extern feasible, Obligor's monthly interest payment obligations shall be based
upon a deemed rate of interest equal to four percent (4.0%) per annum. The actual interest
payable by Obligor shall be determined as follows:
(i)
If the rate or blended rate, as the case may be, of interest on the
Loan and Obligor Note during any month is less than four percent (4.0%) per annum as
calculated under Paragraph 1.3(b), above, Obligor shall pay to the Custodian on the
corresponding Deposit Day, for deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Account, an amount equal
to the interest payment calculated at four percent (4.0%) per annum, notwithstanding that the
actual interest accruing on the Obligor Note during such period may be less.
(ii) If the actual rate of interest on the Loan and Obligor Note during
any month as calculated under Paragraph 1.3(b), above, exceeds four percent (4%) per annum,
unless the Custodian shall have delivered to Obligor and City a Shortfall Notice (defined in this
.Section, below), Obligor shall pay to the Custodian on the corresponding Deposit Day, interest at
a rate equal to four percent (4%) per annum on the then -Outstanding principal balance of the
Loan -and Obligor Note, and the Custodian shall look toother funds on deposit In. the_ Debt
Service Reserve Account and the EDI Grant Loan Payment Reserve Account to pay the balance
of interest next scheduled to become due on the City Loan; provided, that the Custodian shall
exhaust funds on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account from time to time prior to making
any withdrawals from the EDI Grant Loan Payment Reserve Account to pay any portion of the
Interest Component of any monthly deposit; and provided further, that Custodian is not
authorized to and shall not withdraw from the EDI Grant Loan Payment Reserve Account for
such purposes, an aggregate amount greater than Nine Thousand and One Hundred Sixty-six and
76/100 Dollars ($9,166.67).
(iii) If not less than five (5) Business Days prior to any Deposit Day the
Custodian determines that there shall or may be insufficient funds available in the Debt Service
Reserve Account and EDI Grant Loan Payment Reserve Account to pay the full amount of
principal and interest, as calculated under Paragraph 1.3(b), above, to become due on the City
Note on the next date such interest is required to be paid, taking into account the expected
payment of interest at a deemed rate of four percent (4.0%) per annum required to be made by
Obligor on such Deposit Day and each subsequent Deposit Day scheduled to occur prior to the
corresponding Obligor Payment Date, the Custodian shall promptly deliver written notice (each,
® a "Shortfall Notice") to that effect to the Obligor (with a copy to the City). Upon receipt of any
such Shortfall Notice, and in any event, on or before the corresponding Deposit Day, the Obligor
Loan Agreement Page 12

shall pay to the Custodian, for deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Account, the full amount of
interest actually accruing on the Loan and Obligor Note during the corresponding month as
calculated under Paragraph 1.3(b), above. Obligor acknowledges and agrees that interest
stabilization payments made by Obligor in accordance with this Section 4.4(b) and deposited in
the Debt Service Reserve Account, together with the earnings thereon, if any, shall be held,

is hereby irrevocably authorized to transfer funds from the Debt Service Reserve Account to the
Loan Repayment Account on each Obligor Payment Date, in the full amount due on the Obligor
Note on each such date. The Custodian is then authorized and directed to apply funds in the Loan
Repayment Account to the timely payment of amounts due on the City Note. Obligor's monthly
installment payments into the Debt Service Reserve Account shall not constitute payments under
the Obligor Note. Obligor shall be credited with the payment of interest and principal on the
Obligor Note only when and solely to the extent that funds shall be transferred to the Loan
Repayment Account under this Section 4.4(c). The Custodian is further irrevocably authorized by
Obligor to liquidate investments in the Debt Service Reserve Account, in the Custodian's
discretion, and without liability for any loss on any such liquidation, for the purposes described in
this Section 4.4(c). The authorization by Obligor in this Section 4.4(c) is in addition to, and not in
limitation of, the authorization in Section 1.4 above.
(d) Investment of Funds; Earnings Remain on Deposit. Funds in the Debt
Service Reserve Account shall be invested at the direction of City, but only in instruments that
mature (or are redeemable without penalty) within six (6) months and in any event no later than five
(5) Business Days before the next Obligor Payment Date, and that are guaranteed as to payment of
principal by the United States Government, or in money market funds that invest solely in such
instruments. All earnings in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall remain therein until applied in
accordance with this Agreement or until all amounts owing under the Loan Documents have been
paid in full. When all amounts owing under the Loan Documents have been paid in full, then the
remaining balance shall be disbursed to or upon the order of the City.
(e) Late Charge. If any deposit required to be made into the Debt Service
Reserve Account is not received within ten (10) days after the date when such deposit is due, in
addition to additional interest required to be paid in accordance with the Obligor Note, Obligor
agrees to pay a late charge equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount past due, as compensation to
the City and Custodian for the staff time and resources required to handle such delinquencies, and
not as a penalty. Such late charges shall not be credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account or
Loan Repayment Account, but shall be retained by the City and/or Custodian. Late charges under
this Section are in addition to, and not in substitution for, the other remedies provided in the Loan
Documents.
4.5 Application of Payments. Any amounts transferred into the Loan Repayment
Account in accordance with this Agreement shall be applied first to accrued interest on the Obligor
Note, next to any premium then due, and the balance, if any, to reduction of principal.
Loan Agreement Page 13
e
Notwithstanding the foregoing, City or Custodian shall have the right, each in its respective
discretion, to apply funds available in the Debt Service Reserve Account to fees, costs,
reimbursements, and late charges then due under the Loan Documents prior to application of funds

Custodian to transfer funds from the Debt Service Reserve Account to the
Loan Repayment Account on each Obligor Payment Date, in the full amount
due on this Note on each such date. Obligor's monthly installment payments
into the Debt Service Reserve Account shall not constitute payments under

interest payment obligations shall be based upon a deemed rate of interest equal
to four percent (4.0%) per annum. The actual interest payable by Obligor shall
be determined as follows:
6.1. If the rate or blended rate, as the case may be, of interest on the Loan
and Obligor Note during any month is less than four percent (4.0%)
per annum as calculated under Paragraph 1.3(b) of the Loan
Agreement, Obligor shall pay to the Custodian on the corresponding
Deposit Day, for deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Account, an
amount equal to the interest payment calculated at four percent
(4.0%) per annum, notwithstanding that the actual interest accruing
on the Obligor Note during such period may be less.
6.2. If the actual rate of interest on the Loan and Obligor Note during any
month as calculated under Paragraph 1.3(b), above, exceeds four
percent (4%) per annum, unless the Custodian shall have delivered to
Obligor and City a Shortfall Notice (defined in this Section, below),
Obligor shall pay to the Custodian on the corresponding Deposit Day,
interest at a rate equal to four percent (4%) per annum on the then-
Outstanding principal balance of the Loan and Obligor Note, and the
Custodian shall look to other funds on deposit in the Debt Service
Reserve Account and the EDI Grant Loan Payment Reserve Account
to pay the balance of interest next scheduled to become due on the
City Loan; provided, that the Custodian shall exhaust funds on
deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account from time to time prior to
making any withdrawals from the EDI Grant Loan Payment Reserve
Account to pay any portion of the Interest Component of any monthly
Promissory Note Page 5

deposit; and provided further, that Custodian is not authorized to and
shall not withdraw from the EDI Grant Loan Payment Reserve
Account for such purposes, an aggregate amount greater than Nine
Thousand and One Hundred Sixty-six Dollars and 67/100 ($9,166.67).

Custodian determines that there shall or may be insufficient funds
available in the Debt Service Reserve Account and EDI Grant Loan
Payment Reserve Account to pay the full amount of principal and
interest as catee] 1 3(n) of the T .4Jan Agreement
to become due on the City Note on the next date such interest is
required to be paid, taking into account the expected payment of
interest at a deemed rate of four percent (4.0%) per annum required to
be made by Obligor on such Deposit Day and each subsequent Deposit
Day scheduled to occur prior to the corresponding Obligor Payment
Date, the Custodian shall promptly deliver written notice (each, a
"Shortfall Notice") to that effect to the Obligor (with a copy to the
City). Upon receipt of any such Shortfall Notice, and in any event, on
or before the corresponding Deposit Day, the Obligor shall pay to the
Custodian, for deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Account, the full
amount of interest actually accruing on the Loan and Obligor Note
during the corresponding month as calculated under Paragraph 1.3(b)
of the Loan Agreement.. Obligor acknowledges and agrees that
interest stabilization payments made by Obligor in accordance with
this Section 4.4(b) and deposited in the Debt Service Reserve Account,
together with the earnings thereon, if any, shall beheld, without right
of withdrawal or reimbursement.

Account is not received within ten (10) days after the date when such deposit is
due, in addition to additional interest required to be paid in accordance with this
Note, Obligor agrees to pay a late charge equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount
past due, as compensation to Payee for the staff time and resources required to
handle such delinquencies, and not as a penalty. Such late charges shall not be
credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account or Loan Repayment Account, but
shall be retained by Payee. Late charges under this Section are in addition to, and
not in substitution for, the other remedies provided in the Loan Documents.

part at any time if the City Note allows, provided Obligor shall give 90 days

prepayment shall be in an amount not less than the amount which is
sufficient to defease the portion of the City Note allocable to this Note or
the portion hereof to be prepaid as provided in the Master Agreement,
including the requirement that Principal Amounts under the City Note
having the latest maturity must be defeased before those with shorter
maturities. If in the event of any prepayment Payee incurs any costs,
expenses, fees, charges, premiums or losses, the Obligor shall pay such items
upon demand in addition to the principal and interest due hereunder.
Promissory Note Page 7

Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deed of Trust, or any other document executed in
connection herewith, or in the event of any default by Guarantor under the
