Revised Statutes. The Agency may create subaccounts in the Subordinate Lien Account.

credited to that account. Earnings on each subaccount in the Senior Lien Reserve Account shall
be credited to that subaccount whenever the balance in that subaccount is less than that
subaccount's Reserve Funding Requirement. If earnings would cause the balance in a
subaccount to exceed its Reserve Funding Requirement the earnings shall be credited first, to any

Revenues for the Base Period at least equaled one hundred twenty-five percent

which comprise a Balloon Payment to be refunded with Parity Senior Lien Indebtedness when

any Fiscal Year by more than $5,000.

Indebtedness, the Agency Official shall prepare a schedule of principal and interest
payments for a hypothetical Series of Parity Senior Lien Indebtedness that refunds each
Outstanding Balloon Payment in accordance with this Section 5.4. The Agency Official
shall prepare that schedule as of the date the Parity Senior Lien Indebtedness is sold, and
that schedule shall be used to determine compliance with the tests for Parity Senior Lien
Indebtedness, the Senior Lien Reserve Account, the release covenant as described in
Section 7.6 and any other applicable test in this Master Borrowing Declaration.
(B) Each hypothetical Series of refunding Parity Senior Lien Indebtedness shall be assumed
to be paid in equal annual installments of principal and interest sufficient to amortize the
principal amount of the Balloon Payment over the term specified in the closing
documents for the Balloon Payment or, if those documents do not specify a term, for the
term selected by the Agency Official. However, the Agency Official shall not select a
term that exceeds the lesser of: a)the difference between the date the Balloon Payment is
due and 20 years from the date on which the Series of Parity Senior Lien Indebtedness
containing the Balloon Payment was issued, or b)the Agency's estimate of the remaining
weighted average useful life (expressed in years and rounded to the next highest integer)
of the assets which are financed with the Balloon Payment. The first annual installment
shall be assumed to be due on the date the Balloon Payment is due.
(C) The hypothetical Series of refunding Parity Senior Lien Indebtedness shall be assumed to
bear interest at the rate the Balloon Payment bears interest.
(D) For any subaccounts in the Senior Lien Reserve Account: The schedule described in this
Section 5.4 shall be combined with the schedule for payment of any debt service on that
Page 9—Exhibit A—Form of Master Borrowing Declaration
3750637.3 046513 RSIND
Resolution No. SEDA2023-02
Exhibit A Page 13 of 22
Series that is not a Balloon Payment, and that combined schedule shall be used to
determine the Reserve Funding Requirement as long as that Series is Outstanding.
(E) For the tests for issuing Parity Senior Lien Indebtedness in Section 5.1, the covenants in
Section 7.6, and any other applicable tests in this Master Borrowing Declaration: The
schedule described in this Section 5.4 shall be used to calculate each Estimated Debt
Service Requirement.
Section 6. Subordinate Lien Borrowings.
The Agency may issue Subordinate Lien Borrowings only if the Subordinate Lien Borrowings
comply with the requirements of this Section 6. Subordinate Lien Borrowings shall not be
payable from any account of the Tax Increment Account except the Subordinate Lien Account or
a subaccount of the Subordinate Lien Account. All Subordinate Lien Borrowings shall state
clearly that:
6.1 They are secured by a lien on or pledge of the Tax Increment Revenues which is
subordinate to the lien on, and pledge of, the Tax Increment Revenues that secure the Senior
Lien Borrowings; and,
6.2 They are not payable from any account of the Tax Increment Account except the
Subordinate Lien Account or a subaccount of the Subordinate Lien Account.

purchased Senior Lien Borrowings directly from the Agency) a certification that the Maximum

due;
(B) Failure by the Agency to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement
which this Master Borrowing Declaration requires the Agency to observe or perform for
the benefit of Owners of Senior Lien Borrowings, which failure continues for a period of
60 days after written notice to the Agency by the Owners of ten percent or more of the
principal amount of Senior Lien Borrowings then Outstanding specifying such failure and
requesting that it be remedied; provided however, that if the failure stated in the notice
cannot be corrected within such 60 day period, it shall not constitute an Event of Default
so long as corrective action is instituted by the Agency within the 60 day period and
diligently pursued, and the default is corrected as promptly as practicable after the written
notice referred to in this paragraph(B); or,
(C) The Agency is adjudged insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction, admits in writing
its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition in bankruptcy,
or consents to the appointment of a receiver for Tax Increment Revenues.
9.2 The Owners of fifty-one percent(51%) or more of the principal amount of Senior Lien
Borrowings then Outstanding may waive any Event of Default and its consequences, except an
Event of Default described in Section 9.1(A).
9.3 Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, that has not been waived
pursuant to Section 9.2, hereunder the Owners of fifty-one percent(51%) or more of the principal
amount of affected Senior Lien Borrowings then Outstanding may take whatever action may
appear necessary or desirable to enforce or to protect any of the rights of the Owners of Senior
Lien Borrowings, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Master Borrowing Declaration or in
aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Master Borrowing Declaration or for the
enforcement of any other legal or equitable right vested in the Owners of Senior Lien Borrowings
by this Master Borrowing Declaration or by law. However: the Senior Lien Borrowings shall not
be subject to acceleration; and, neither the Agency nor the City shall be required to pay any
amounts to Owners (other than Tax Increment Revenues, unspent proceeds of Senior Lien

of Senior Lien Borrowings is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Master Borrowing
Declaration, and now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise
any right or power accruing upon any default shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any
such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. To entitle the Owners of Senior Lien Borrowings to exercise any remedy reserved to
them, it shall not be necessary to give any notice other than such notice as may be required by
this Master Borrowing Declaration or by law.

Borrowing Declaration, the Owners of Senior Lien Borrowings which pay interest only at
maturity, and mature more than one year after they are issued shall be treated as Owners of
Senior Lien Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount equal to the accreted value of such
Senior Lien Borrowings as of the date the Paying Agent sends out notice of requesting consent,
waiver or other action as provided herein.
Section 11. Defeasance.
The Agency shall be obligated to pay any Senior Lien Borrowings which are defeased in
accordance with this Section 11 solely from the cash and Government Obligations which are
deposited in escrow pursuant to this Section 11. Senior Lien Borrowings shall be deemed
defeased if the Agency:

independent trustee or escrow agent which are calculated to be sufficient without reinvestment
for the payment of the Senior Lien Borrowings which are to be defeased; and,
