following respective funds, each of which the Trustee shall establish and maintain and hold in trust
separate and apart from other funds held by it, and each of which shall be disbursed and applied only

Account an amount representing the portion of the Installment Payments designated as interest
coining due on the next succeeding January 1 or July 1, as the case may be. No deposit need be

interest portion of Certificates then Outstanding due, if any, on the next January 1 or July 1, as the
case may be.
Except as hereinafter provided, moneys in the Interest Account shall be used and
withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying the interest with respect to the Certificates

January 1 (commencing on the last business day of December 2003), shall deposit in the Principal

Except as hereinafter provided, moneys in the Principal Account shall be used and
withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying the principal with respect to the

Fund, the Certificate Payment Fund and the Reserve Fund shall be invested upon the Written Request
of the District, by the Trustee, in Permitted Investments which will mature on or before the dates
when such moneys are scheduled to be needed for payment from such fund. Securities acquired as an
investment of moneys in a fund shall be credited to such fund.
In the absence of written investment direction from the District, the Trustee shall invest
moneys held by it solely in Permitted Investments specified in clause(b)(5) of the definition thereof.
Any interest, profit or other income on such investments will be deposited when received by
the Trustee in the Reserve Fund to the extent the amount available and contained therein is less than
the Reserve Requirement and thereafter in the Certificate Payment Fund established hereunder.

Payment Date, the Trustee shall transfer from the Reserve Fund to the Certificate Payment Fund the
amount of such insufficiency. In the event that the Trustee has transferred moneys from the Reserve
Fund to the Certificate Payment Fund in accordance with this Section, upon receipt of the moneys
from the District to increase the balance in the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Requirement, the Trustee
shall deposit such moneys in the Reserve Fund. Any transfers from the Reserve Fund made pursuant

Agreement, the Trustee shall semiannually on or before each Payment Date withdraw the amount of
such excess from the Reserve Fund and shall deposit such amount in the Certificate Payment Fund,
and for this determination the Trustee shall make a valuation of the Reserve Fund as often as it may

deem appropriate, and in any event on or before each Payment Date in each year. In addition, the
Trustee shall, on the date all or any portion of the Certificates are discharged in accordance with
Section 10.2 hereof, value the Reserve Fund in accordance with this Section and withdraw the

written direction of the District. Except for such withdrawals, all moneys in the Reserve Fund shall
be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying principal, Prepayment Price
and interest with respect to the Certificates in the event that no other moneys of the District are
available therefor.

credited to the Reserve Fund shall be valued at the lower of cost(inclusive of all interest accrued but
not paid), or market value.

bond or a letter of credit (a "Reserve Insurance Policy") for any Reserve Insurance Policy or money
held by the Trustee in the Reserve Fund; provided, that (i) in the case of a municipal bond debt
service reserve fund policy or a surety bond, bonds which are insured by the issuer thereof are rated
in the highest rating category by S&P and Moody's, or, in the case of a letter of credit,the unsecured
debt obligations of the issuing bank thereof are rated in the highest short-term rating category by
S&P and Moody's; (ii) the sum of the money and face amount of any Reserve Insurance Policy in
effect after such substitution will be equal to the Reserve Requirement; and (iii) in the case of the
substitution of a new Reserve Insurance Policy for money or an existing Reserve Insurance Policy,

adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest with
respect to the Certificates.

Fund, the Certificate Payment Fund and the Reserve Fund are hereby irrevocably pledged to the
Owners of the Certificates as provided herein. This pledge shall constitute a first and exclusive lien

Tax Certificate. All money at any time deposited in the Rebate Fund shall be held by the Trustee in
trust for payment to the United States Treasury. All amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund for the
Series 2003A Certificates shall be governed by this Section and the Tax Certificate for the Series
2003A Certificates, unless and to the extent that the District delivers to the Trustee an opinion of

Trustee (i) shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with the provisions thereof if it follows all

equal the amount of Rebatable Arbitrage so calculated in accordance with (i) of this Subsection (a).
In the event that immediately following the transfer required by the previous sentence, the amount
then on deposit to the credit of the Rebate Fund exceeds the amount required to be on deposit therein,
upon written Request of the District, the Trustee shall withdraw the excess from the Rebate Fund and
then credit the excess to the Revenue Fund.
(iii) Payment to the Treasury. The Trustee shall pay, as directed by
Request of the District, to the United States Treasury, out of amounts in the Rebate Account,

the amount in the Rebate Fund is not sufficient to make such payment when such payment is due,the
District shall calculate or cause to be calculated the amount of such deficiency and deposit an amount
received from any legally available source equal to such deficiency prior to the time such payment is
due. Each payment required to be made pursuant to this Subsection (a) shall be made to the Internal

necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action
hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed)
shall be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate of the Corporation or the
District and such certificate shall be full warranty to the Trustee for any action taken or suffered
under the provisions of this Agreement upon the faith thereof, but in its discretion the Trustee may
(but shall have no duty), in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require such
additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable.

forth in this Agreement and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the Trustee.

otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder if it shall have
27
DQCSSfl35478v4122925.0006
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not assured to it.

not in its individual capacity and all persons, including without limitation the Owners and the District
or the Corporation having any claim against the Trustee arising from this Agreement shall look only

have received notice thereof at its corporate trust office at the address set forth in Section 11,11
hereof. The Trustee shall, during the existence of any Event of Default (which has not been cured)
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.
The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the District, or the
Corporation or any other party of any funds which the Trustee has released in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.
