EISTLlMSBU/KING ORANGE 2/A-LOAN AGREE
SCHEDULE 1
ADJUSTMENTS TO INTEREST RATE IN CERTAIN EVENTS
The rate of interest on this Bond shall be adjusted, as set forth below:
The interest rate on the Bond is based on (a) the status of the Bond as a tax exempt
obligation under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"); (b)
the laws in effect on the Date of Issue of the Bond; and (c) the maximum corporate income tax
rate in effect and applicable to the Registered Owner on the Date of Issue of the Bond.
If the Bond should be determined not to be a tax-exempt obligation for purposes of
Section 103 of the Code, the interest rate on the Bond will be adjusted retroactive to the date
that such determination became effective in order to preserve to the Registered Owner the
after-tax yield that the Registered Owner enjoyed on the Date ofIssue of the Bond. The County
shall also pay any additions to tax, penalties, any interest on the Bond, and any arrears in
interest resulting from such a determination.
If the (A) laws in effect or (B) the maximum corporate income tax rate in effect on the
Date of Issue of the Bond should change, the Registered Owner may adjust the interest rate on
the Bond retroactive to the date of such change to the extent necessary to preserve to the
Registered Owner the after-tax yield that the Registered Owner enjoyed on the Date of Issue of
the Bond.
Any additional interest, and any additions to tax, penalties and interest payable pursuant
to the preceding paragraphs shall be payable on the earlier of the first day of the first month or
the first interest payment date following the date the Registered Owner notifies the County of the
amount due, and thereafter, such increased interest rate shall be payable on the same dates
interest would have otherwise been payable. The adjustments provided for in this schedule and
the obligation of the County to pay any additional amounts hereunder shall survive the payment
of the Bond until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the ability of the
Internal Revenue Service to determine that the Bond was not a tax-exempt obligation.
