Monie8 in the Re8erve Fund 8hall be applied by the Fiscal Agent as followsl A. Whenever there are inllufficient fundll in the Redemption Fund to pay the next maturing installment of principal of or interellt on the 7 " " o o Bonds on the business day preceding such date of payment, the Fiscal Agent shall transfer the amount necessary to make up such deficiency from the Reserve Fund to the Redemption Fund. The amounts so advanced shall be reimbursed upon receipt thereof by the Issuer and transfer thereof to the Fiscal Agent for deposit into the Reserve Fund from the proceeds of redemption or sale of the parcels for which payment.of delinquent installments of assessments and interest thereon have been made from the Reserve Fund. Such proceeds shall be transferred by the Issuer to the Fiscal Agent within ten (10) business days of receipt thereof by the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent shall immediately deposit such proceeds in the Reserve Fund. B. In the event an unpaid assessment is paid in cash in advance of the final Bond maturity date, the Issuer is required to credit such prepaid assessment with a proportionate share of the Reserve Fund, thus reducing the total amount of the Reserve Fund. The amount to be so credited is the pro-rata share of the original amount deposited in the Reserve Fund, less any amount previously trans- ferred from the Reserve Fund to the Redemption Fund as a result of the delinquency in the payment of assessment installments for the parcel for which the assessment is being prepaid. The Issuer shall direct the Fiscal Agent in writing to transfer the amount represent- ing such credit from the Reserve Fund to the Redemption Fund. c. Interest earned on permitted investments of Reserve Fund monies shall remain in the Reserve Fund so that the amount therein may accumulate to and subsequently be maintained at the "Reserve Requirement".

"Annual Debt Service" on the Bonds for each year ending September 2 shall equal the sum of (a) the interest falling due on the outstanding Bonds in such 12 month period, assuming that the outstanding Bonds are retired as scheduled, and (b) the principal amount of the outstand- ing Bonds falling due during such 12 month period. "Average Annual Debt Service" shall mean the average annual debt service during the term of the Bonds. "Maximum Annual Debt Service" shall mean, as computed from time to time, the largest annual debt service during the period from the date of such computation through the final maturity of any outstanding Bonds. D. on June 30 of each year, any interest earned on the investment of monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund which would cause the amount therein to exceed the Reserve Requirement shall be transferred by the Fiscal Agent to the Redemption Fund and shall be credited towards unpaid assessments each year during which part of the Bonds remain outstanding. The auditor's record prepared pursuant to Section 8682 of the Act shall reflect credits against each of the unpaid assessments in the manner provided in Section 10427.1 therein in amounts equal to each assessment parcels' proportionate share of any Reserve Fund disbursement. B ,> o o E. All sums remaining in the Reserve Fund in the year in which the lallt inlltallmentll of the allllellllments become due and payable shall be credited toward the a..ea.menta as follows: Prior to June 30th of the Fiscal Year next preceding the Fillcal Year in which the last unpaid assessment installment becomes due and payable, the Issuer shall determine the amount remaining in the Reserve Fund, if any, after all sums advanced and interest thereon have been reimbursed, and shall order the same to be distributed and/or credited pursuant to its written direction in the manner set forth in Section 10427.1 of the Act, provided only that where all or any part of such assessments remain unpaid and are payable installments, the amount apportioned to each parcel shall be credited against the last unpaid assessment installment, then such excess shall be credited against the next to last unpaid assessment installment. Whenever the balance in the Reserve Fund is sufficient to retire all remaining outstanding Bonds, whether by advance retirement or other- wise, collection of the principal and interest on the assessments shall be discontinued and the Reserve Fund shall be liquidated by the Fiscal Agent pursuant to the written direction of the Issuer and utilized in the retirement of the Bonds. In the event that the balance in the Reserve Fund at the time of liqui- dation exceeds the amount required to retire all outstanding Bonds in the issue, the exces. shall be apportioned to each parcel upon which the individual assessment remained unpaid at the time the balance in the Reserve Fund was sufficient to retire all outstanding Bonds in the is.ue. The payment. shall be made in cash by the Issuer to the respec- tive owners of the parcels except that, if the exce.s is not greater than one thousand dollars ($1,000), the excess may be transferred to the General Fund of the Issuer. REBATE FUND, The Fiscal Agent shall transfer into the Rebate Fund all amounts required by the Issuer to be transferred in acordance with the provisions of the Arbitrage Rebate Provisions attached hereto as Exhibit "CO. Subject to the provisions of said Arbitrage Rebate Provi- sions, amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall only be applied to payments made to the United States of America in accordance with written instructions of the Issuer. Notwithstanding any other provi- sions of this Indenture, all earnings on amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall remain therein until paid to the Federal government. SECTION 19. Investments. Obligations purchased as investments of monies in any of the funds and accounts in which investments are authorized shall be deemed at all times to be part of such funds and accounts.
