Alternatives: The following Prepayment Alternatives are applicable
Borrower may prepay the Bond in whole or in part at anytime upon two
Business Days' prior written notice to the Lender. Such prepayment
notice shall specify the amount of the prepayment which is to be applied
as determined by the lender in its sole discretion. In the event of a
prepayment of the Bond under this paragraph, the Borrower may be
required to pay the Lender an additional fee (a prepayment charge or
premium) determined in the manner provided below, to compensate the
Lender for all losses, costs and expenses incurred in connection with
such prepayment.
'The fee shall be equal to the present value of the difference between (1)
the amount that would have been realized by the Lender on the prepaid
amount for the remaining term of the Bond at the Federal Reserve H.15
Statistical Release rate for fixed -rate payers in interest rate swaps for a
term corresponding to the term of the Bond, interpolated to the nearest
month, if necessary, that was in effect three Business Days prior to the

amount in (2). Should the present value have no value or a negative
value, the Borrower may prepay at par with no additional prepayment
charge or premium Should the Federal Reserve no longer release rates

Federal Reserve H.15 Statistical Release with another similar index. The
Lender shall provide the Borrower with a written statement explaining the
calculation of the premium due, which statement shall, in absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding. This alternative is not
intended to, and does not, increase the interest rate payable on the
Bond.

mentioned interest rate options described above using the schedule
below:

discretion at par plus accrued interest and without penalty at any time
after 2 years upon two Business Days` notice to the Lender.

Adjusted Rate Calculation, which statement shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the City. Such notice of the

corporate tax rate of 35 %.
