forth below until paid in full. The principal of this Note shall be payable on May 1
in the years and amounts set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto and made a part
hereof; provided, however, that no principal installment shall at any time exceed
. the principal amount outstanding and unpaid. In the event the amount of the funds
disbursed by the State to the Borrower is less than the principal amount of this
Note set forth above, the principal installments set forth on Schedule 1 will be
reduced in corresponding amount in the inverse order of maturity of such principal
installments unless otherwise approved in writing by the State Treasurer.
Interest on the unpaid principal amount balance shall accrue and be payable
semiannually on each May 1 and November 1, beginning May 1, 1995, at the rate of
5.85% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-

have been filed with the Borrower signed by the State and in form satisfactory to
the Borrower. At the principal office of the Finance Officer of .the Borrower, the
Holder hereof may register the transfer and assi~ment of t~is Note. The S~ate, B;nd

Net Revenues and the Designated Non-Tax Revenues.

with any prepayment premium required by the State Treasurer as provided below,
plus accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount to be .

any such prepayment, the Borrower shall be required to pay any interest and
redemption premium due on bonds issued by the State for the purpose of providing
funds for the Loan (including a pro rata portion of any bonds issued to fund
capitalized interest or costs of issuance with respect to such bonds) through the date

secured by Net Revenues or the Designated Non-Tax Revenues, and reference is
hereby made to the Resolution and the Agreement, copies of which are on file with
the Borrower, for the foregoing and the other provisions thereof which pertain to
this Note and to which the Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, hereby assents.

NOTE: The interest figures that are highlighted above are calculated assuming that all funds have been drawn down as of May I,

assumption. Until such time as you begin to draw down funds, however, no interest payments will be due. When you begin to
draw down funds, the Division of Environmental Management will bill you for the correct interest payment. Our schedule is
meant to be for planning purposes only as it reflects the maximum amount that you would have to pay.
