There shall be no execution or registration of transfer of 2025B Certificate s during the period established by the Trustee for selection of 2025B Certificate s for prepayment or any 2025B Certificate selected for prepayment.

The Interest Component is the result of the multiplication of the Principal Component by the rate per annum identified above. Interest with respect to the 2025B Certificates shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, comprised of twelve months of 30 days each. Said amounts are payable by check in lawful money of the United States of America. The amount representing Principal Component payable at maturity or upon prepayment in whole is payable to the Registered Owner by check of the Trustee upon presentation and surrender of this 2025B Certificate at the Principal Office.

The total amount of each payment of Principal Component or Interest Component made to the Registered Owner of this 2025B Certificate is comprised of interests in the Principal Component of 2025B Trust Agreement Lease Payments made by the City with respect to 2025B Certificates maturing on the maturity date stated above, and with an Interest Component at the rate indicated above.

The City is authorized to enter into the Lease and the Trust Agreement under the Constitution and the laws of the State of California.

No such modification or amendment shall (1) extend or have the effect of extending the fixed maturity of any 2025B Certificate or reducing the interest rate with respect thereto or extending the time of payment of Interest Component, or reducing the amount of Principal Component thereof or reducing any premium payable upon the prepayment thereof, without the express consent of the Registered Owner of such 2025B Certificate , or (2) reduce or have the effect of reducing the percentage of 2025B Certificate s required for the affirmative vote or written consent to an amendment or modification of the Lease, or (3) modify any of the rights or obligations of the Trustee without its written assent thereto.

This 2025B Certificate also may be exchanged for a like aggregate Principal Component of 2025B Certificate s of other authorized denominations as prescribed in the Trust Agreement. The City, the Corporation and the Trustee may treat the Registered Owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes whether or not this 2025B Certificate shall be overdue, and the City, the Corporation and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The 2025B Certificates are subject to prepayment as provided in the Trust Agreement.

As provided in the Trust Agreement, notice of prepayment shall be mailed by first class mail, not less than 20 nor more than 60 days before the prepayment date, to the Registered Owners of affected 2025B Certificates, but neither failure to receive such notice nor any defect in the notice so mailed shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for prepayment.

4935-5723-0924v5/200096-0014
If this 2025B Certificate is called for prepayment and payment is duly provided therefor as specified in the Trust Agreement, the Interest Component shall cease to accrue with respect hereto from and after the date fixed for prepayment.

THIS IS TO FURTHER CERTIFY that all acts, conditions and things required to have been performed by or in relation to the Trustee precedent to and in connection with the execution and delivery of this 2025B Certificate have been performed in regular and due time, form and manner as required by law, and that the Trustee is duly authorized to execute and deliver this 2025B Certificate , and that the amount of this 2025B Certificate , together with all other 2025B Certificates executed and delivered under the Trust Agreement , is not in excess of the amount of 2025B Certificate s authorized to be executed and delivered thereunder.
