and computed in accordance with subdivision two of paragraph b of Sections 90.00 and 90.10 of the Law. Said
Refunding Financial Plan has been prepared based upon the assumption that the Refunding Bonds will be issued in
the aggregate principal amount and will mature, be of such terms, and bear such interest as set forth therein. The

conditions as shall be necessary in order to accomplish the Refunding Financial Plan, including provisions authorizing

Section 10. The proceeds, inclusive of any premium, from the sale of the Refunding Bonds, immediately upon
receipt, shall be placed in escrow by the District with the Escrow Holder in accordance with the Escrow Contract. All
moneys held by the Escrow Holder, if invested, shall be invested only in direct obligations of the United States of
America or in obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States
of America, which obligations shall mature or be subject to redemption at the option of the holder thereof not later

Financial Plan. Any such moneys remaining in the custody of the Escrow Holder after the full execution of the
provisions of the Escrow Contract shall be returned to the District and shall be applied by the District only to the
payment of the principal of or interest on the Refunding Bonds then outstanding.
Section 11. That portion of such proceeds from the sale of the Refunding Bonds, together with any interest earned

and pledged to such purpose and the holders of the Bonds To Be Refunded shall have a lien upon such moneys and
the investments thereof held by the Escrow Holder. All interest earned from the investment of such moneys not
required for such payments on the Bonds To Be Refunded shall be irrevocably committed and pledged to the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds, or such portion thereof as shall be required by the
Refunding Financial Plan, and the holders of such Refunding Bonds shall have a lien upon such moneys held by the
Escrow Holder. The pledges and liens provided for herein shall become valid and binding upon the issuance of the
Refunding Bonds and the moneys and investments held by the Escrow Holder shall immediately be subject thereto
without any further act. Such pledges and liens shall be valid and binding against all parties having claims of any

Board of Education hereby elects to call in and redeem all the Bonds To Be Refunded which are subject to prior
redemption according to their terms on the Redemption Date, as such date is determined by the President of the
Board of Education. The sums to be paid therefor on such Redemption Date shall be the par value thereof, the
accrued interest to the Redemption Date and the redemption premiums, if any. The Escrow Holder is hereby
authorized and directed to cause notice(s) of such call for redemption to be given in the name of the District by
mailing such notice(s) to the registered holders of the Bonds To Be Refunded that are subject to prior redemption at
least thirty days prior to such Redemption Date. Upon the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, the election to call in
and redeem the Bonds To Be Refunded subject to prior redemption on the Redemption Date and the direction to the
Escrow Holder to cause notice thereof to be given as provided in this Section shall become irrevocable and the
provisions of this Section shall constitute a covenant with the holders, from time to time, of the Refunding Bonds,
provided that this Section may be amended from time to time as may be necessary to comply with the requirements
of paragraph a of Section 53.00 of the Law, as the same may be amended from time to time.
