SCHEDULE D-1
DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM BONDS
(SINGLE-FAMILY-ESCROW)
          Terms capitalized in this Schedule D-1 and not defined in Article 1 of this Agreement will have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Complete Indenture.
          In order to qualify as Eligible Bonds under the New Issue Bond Program, the Program Bonds, the related Complete Indenture and the HFA must satisfy the following requirements:
     1. Taxability: At issuance, the Program Bonds will be tax-exempt qualified mortgage bonds within the meaning of Section 143 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If the Program Bonds do not satisfy the requirements of the foregoing sentence, then the HFA hereby certifies that it reasonably expects to have volume cap or alternative means of issuing tax-exempt bonds on a timely basis and in a manner which will permit the release of all Escrowed Proceeds (as defined below) by December 31, 2010, and will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain volume cap if necessary.
     2. Term: The Program Bonds are stated to mature on a maturity date that is:
     (a) not less than ten (10) years after the Pre-Settlement Date of the Program Bonds; and
     (b) not more than thirty-two (32) years from the Pre-Settlement Date of the Program Bonds.
     3. Sinking Fund: The Program Bonds are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemptions or are structured to pass through principal payments and principal prepayments on the underlying mortgage loans. The sinking fund redemption schedule or alternative redemption/prepayment requirements will be established and added to the Complete Indenture no later than the final Release Date. This schedule (or these redemption provisions) is required by the terms of the Complete Indenture to take into account anticipated underlying mortgage loan amortization and standard and customary practices of the HFA in connection with combined serial bond and term bond issuances.
     4. Market Bond Ratio Requirement:
At issuance, the HFA must reasonably expect to issue and sell to persons other than Treasury, in conjunction with the issuance and subsequent conversion to a permanent rate of the Program Bonds, bonds that are not Program Bonds but which are issued out of the same indenture and the proceeds of which are intended to be used in the HFA’s single-family loan program (“Market Bonds”). The HFA intends to issue Market Bonds after the Settlement Date and before January 1, 2011 so that after such issuances, the principal amount of the Market Bonds will be not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the principal amount of the Program Bonds (“Market Bond Ratio Requirement”).

D-1-1


 

     5. Certain Terms Applicable to Market Bonds: The Complete Indenture provides that Market Bonds may not be issued with “super sinker”, planned amortization classes or other priority allocation class rights unless such provisions retain for application to the redemption of the Program Bonds at least a pro rata portion of any prepayments or other recoveries of principal relative to mortgage loans funded or mortgage-backed securities purchased with proceeds of the Program Bonds.
     6. Escrow Requirement: The Complete Indenture provides that:
     (a) Certain of the net proceeds of the Program Bonds must be held in Escrow (as defined below) until, with respect to all or the relevant portion of the Program Bonds, (i) the Market Bond Requirement is satisfied and (ii) the Program Bonds are tax-exempt. “Market Bond Ratio Requirement” means the requirement that the HFA issue and deliver Market Bonds in conjunction with and as a condition to each Release Date, the principal amount of such Market Bonds being not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the principal amount of Program Bonds the proceeds of which are proposed to be released on such Release Date.
     (b) The amount of net proceeds that must be escrowed at any given time (“Escrowed Proceeds”) is all proceeds of the Program Bonds with respect to which the requirements for the release of Escrowed Proceeds have not been met.
     (c) The Escrowed Proceeds will be held in escrow under the Complete Indenture (“Escrow”) pending the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 6(e) below.
     (d) Escrowed Proceeds must be invested in such investments as permitted by Treasury and set forth in the Supplemental Indenture (“Permitted Escrow Investments”). Permitted Escrow Investments are pledged exclusively to the repayment of the Program Bonds unless and until there is a default under the Complete Indenture, in which case such funds will be applied as required by the Complete Indenture.
     (e) Escrowed Proceeds may be released from Escrow, subject to, among other things, the conditions that:
     (i) The HFA delivers a bond counsel opinion to the HFA Trustee to the effect that interest on the Program Bonds related to the Escrowed Proceeds to be released is exempt from federal income taxation under Section 103 of the Code;
     (ii) The HFA delivers to the HFA Trustee, who is required to provide copies to the Administrator, the GSEs and Treasury’s Financial Agent a certificate of Market Bond issuance and calculation of the release amount pursuant to the Market Bond Ratio Requirement; and
     (iii) The HFA delivers or causes to be delivered to the HFA Trustee net proceeds of the Market Bonds, which proceeds (together with any amounts deducted from proceeds for underwriting fees and expenses) shall be in an amount not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the applicable portion of the principal amount of the Program Bonds being Converted.

D-1-2


 

     (f) Any Program Bonds with respect to which a Release Date has not occurred prior to January 1, 2011 are subject to mandatory redemption on February 1, 2011 (or an earlier date selected by the HFA), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date.
     7. Minimum Rating: The Program Bonds have a long-term rating of not less than ‘Baa3’/’BBB-’. The Complete Indenture provides that to the extent that the minimum rating threshold for the Program Bonds is not maintained while the proceeds thereof are Escrowed Proceeds, all proceeds that are still held in Escrow must be used to redeem a corresponding amount of Program Bonds.
     8. Interest Rate: The Complete Indenture provides that each Pre-Conversion Bond shall bear interest at the Short-Term Rate from the Settlement Date to the related Conversion Date. The interest rate on some or all of the Pre-Conversion Bonds may be Converted on a Conversion Date to a Permanent Rate in accordance with the provisions thereof. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date. The capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the following definitions:
          “Conversion Date” means, with respect to all or a portion of Pre-Conversion Bonds that are converting to a Permanent Rate, the date two (2) months after the related Release Date; provided that there shall be no more than three (3) Conversion Dates.
          “Four Week T-Bill Rate” means the interest rate for Four Week Treasury Bills (secondary market) as reported by the Federal Reserve on its website at the following internet address -http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update/h15upd.htm.
          “Permanent Rate” means an interest rate per annum certified to the HFA Trustee by the Special Permanent Rate Advisor on or prior to the Release Date, which shall be equal to the sum of the 10 year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate, as reported by Treasury as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately before the applicable Permanent Rate Calculation Date for Program Bonds, established by reference to the Daily Treasury Yield Curve Rates published by Treasury, currently available on its website at:http://www/ustreas.gov/offices/domestic-finance/debt-management/interest-rate/yield.shtml, plus (ii) the Spread.
          “Permanent Rate Calculation Date” means the date on which the Permanent Rate is calculated with respect to all or a portion of the Program Bonds, which shall be, with respect to each applicable portion of the Pre-Conversion Bonds, either (i) a date selected by the HFA and acceptable to the GSEs prior to the Settlement Date or (ii) a date selected by the HFA and acceptable to the GSEs on or prior to December 31, 2010 on which Market Bonds are priced; provided that, with respect to dates described in clause (ii) above, a bond purchase agreement must be executed with respect to the Market Bonds on such date for such Permanent Rate to be effective.
          “Pre-Conversion Bonds” means Program Bonds for which the interest rate has not been the subject of a conversion.

D-1-3


 

          “Release Date” means such date or dates (not to exceed three (3) dates) on or prior to December 31, 2010 and which dates are acceptable to the GSEs, on which dates the proceeds of the related Market Bonds are delivered to the HFA Trustee and the other requirements under the Complete Indenture are met.
          “Short-Term Rate” means (i) for the period from the Settlement Date to the applicable Release Date, the interest rate which produces an interest payment on such Release Date relative to the Program Bonds with respect to which Escrowed Proceeds are subject to release on such Release Date equal to Investment Earnings, and (ii) from the Release Date to the Conversion Date, an interest rate equal to the sum of the Spread plus the lesser of (A) the Four Week T-Bill Rate as of the Business Day prior to the Release Date or (B) the Permanent Rate less the Spread. For purposes of this provision, “Investment Earnings” means total investment earnings on the portion of the Escrow Fund related to Program Bonds with respect to which a Release Date is occurring. [Alternatively, the HFA may elect a Short-Term Rate equal to a variable Four Week T-Bill Rate plus, after the Release Date, the Spread]
          “Spread” means additional per annum interest on the Program Bonds based upon the lowest Bond Rating effective as of the Permanent Rate Calculation Date to the Program Bonds under the Complete Indenture by the rating agencies rating the Program Bonds, as follows:
         
Rating   Additional Spread
 
‘Aaa’/‘AAA’
  60 bps
‘Aa’/‘AA’
  75 bps
‘A’
  110 bps
‘Baa’/‘BBB’
  225 bps
     9. Use of Proceeds:
     (a) The Complete Indenture provides that the proceeds of the Program Bonds must, except as provided in Section 9(b) below, be used only (i) to acquire and finance the holding of single-family loans or single-family mortgage-backed securities which are either newly originated or refinanced, so long as all such loans are eligible to be financed on a tax-exempt basis under applicable federal income tax law (“eligible loans”) or (ii) to fund reasonably required reserves and pay costs of issuance of the Program Bonds in accordance with the requirements and limitations of applicable federal tax law.
     (b) Proceeds of the Program Bonds may be used to refund, as fixed rate bonds, any of the HFA’s variable rate debt (including auction rate securities) issued and outstanding prior to October 19, 2009 or to refund an issue that did so, so long as such debt was, in turn, issued to acquire and finance the holding of eligible loans. The aggregate of such use of proceeds is not greater than thirty percent (30%) of the net proceeds of the Program Bonds. The restrictions on refundings in this Section 9(b) do not apply to either (i) the use of proceeds to repay “warehouse credit lines” used to acquire mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities or (ii) “replacement refundings” where proceeds of Program Bonds are exchanged dollar-for-dollar for unexpended

D-1-4


 

tax exempt bond proceeds and/or mortgage loan prepayments so long as all proceeds of related Market Bonds are exchanged first for such purpose.
     10. Issuance Limitation: The HFA hereby certifies that the sum of:
     (i) the face amount of the Program Bonds;
     (ii) the face amount of the Market Bonds issued at the time of issuance of the Program Bonds; and
     (iii) the face amount of all other Market Bonds which must be issued prior to January 1, 2011 in order for the Market Bond Ratio Requirement to be satisfied by no later than that date;
does not exceed the reasonable expectations requirement applicable to tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.
The principal amount of the Program Bonds does not exceed the amount allocated to the HFA under the Single-Family New Issue Bond Program.
     11. Redemption: The Complete Indenture provides that:
     (a) The Program Bonds are redeemable in whole or in part (in minimum denominations of $10,000 and integral multiples of $10,000 in excess thereof). Redemptions of Program Bonds may be made without premium or penalty.

SCHEDULE D-5
DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM BONDS
(SMALL ISSUE)
          Terms capitalized in this Schedule D-5 and not defined in Article 1 of this Agreement will have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Complete Indenture.
          In order to qualify as Eligible Bonds under the New Issue Bond Program, the Program Bonds, the related Complete Indenture and the HFA must satisfy the following requirements:
     1. Taxability: At issuance, the Program Bonds will be tax-exempt qualified mortgage bonds within the meaning of Section 143 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If the Program Bonds do not satisfy the requirements of the foregoing sentence, then the HFA hereby certifies that the HFA reasonably expects to have volume cap or alternative means of issuing tax-exempt bonds on a timely basis and in a manner which will permit the release of all Escrowed Proceeds (as defined below) by December 31, 2010, and will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain volume cap if necessary.
     2. Small Issue Program Bonds: The Program Bonds are Program Bonds which satisfy each of the following requirements: (i) the Complete Indenture is required to be a “Permitted Single-Family Indenture”, which term is defined to mean an indenture with respect to which 100% of the mortgage assets held under the indenture are single-family mortgage backed securities, (ii) at issuance, the Program Bonds will have a long-term credit rating of ‘Aaa’/‘AAA’ and (iii) the principal amount of the Program Bonds is not in excess of $25,000,000.
     3. Term: The Program Bonds are stated to mature on a maturity date that is:
     (a) not less than ten (10) years after the Pre-Settlement Date of the Program Bonds; and

The sinking fund redemption schedule or alternative redemption/prepayment requirements will be established and added to the Complete Indenture no later than the final Release Date. This schedule (or these redemption provisions) is required by the terms of the Complete Indenture to take into account anticipated underlying mortgage loan amortization and standard and customary practices of the HFA.
     5. Escrow Requirement: The Complete Indenture provides that:
     (a) Certain of the net proceeds of the Program Bonds must be held in Escrow (as defined below) to the extent that, at issuance, the Program Bonds will not be tax-exempt.

     (c) The Escrowed Proceeds will be held in escrow under the Complete Indenture (“Escrow”) pending the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 4(e) below.
     (d) Escrowed Proceeds must be invested in such investments as permitted by Treasury and set forth in the Supplemental Indenture (“Permitted Escrow Investments”). Permitted Escrow Investments are pledged exclusively to the repayment of the Program Bonds unless and until there is a default under the Complete Indenture, in which case such funds will be applied as required by the Complete Indenture.
     (e) Escrowed Proceeds may be released from Escrow, subject to, among other things, the condition that the HFA delivers a bond counsel opinion to the HFA Trustee to the effect that interest on the Program Bonds related to the Escrowed Proceeds to be released is exempt from federal income taxation under Section 103 of the Code.
     (f) If any Escrowed Proceeds remain in Escrow on January 1, 2011, such Escrowed Proceeds must be used to redeem outstanding Program Bonds at par on February 1, 2011 (or an earlier date selected by the HFA).
     6. Minimum Rating: The Program Bonds have a long-term rating of “AAA”/“Aaa”. The Complete Indenture provides that to the extent that such rating for the Program Bonds is not maintained while the proceeds thereof are Escrowed Proceeds, all proceeds that are still held in Escrow must be used immediately to redeem a corresponding amount of Program Bonds.
     7. Interest Rate: The Complete Indenture provides that each Pre-Conversion Bond shall bear interest at the Short-Term Rate from the Settlement Date to the related Conversion Date. The interest rate on some or all of the Pre-Conversion Bonds may be Converted on a Conversion Date to a Permanent Rate in accordance with the provisions thereof. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date. The capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the following definitions:
