Such interest rate shall be rounded upwards to the fifth decimal place. Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of this paragraph (v)(A), during the Benchmark Unavailability Period occurring after the Taxable Date the interest rate computed on the amounts outstanding under the Tax Exempt Note shall bear interest at a rate determined pursuant to Section

2.15(c)(v)(B).

Any interest that would have been due and payable for any period but for the operation of the immediately preceding paragraph shall accrue and be payable on this Note as provided in this paragraph and shall, less interest actually paid to the Registered Owner, as applicable, for such period, constitute the “Excess Interest Amount.” If there is any accrued and unpaid Excess Interest Amount as of any date with respect to this Note then the principal amount of this Note shall bear interest at the Maximum Interest Rate, until payment to the Registered Owner, of the entire Excess Interest Amount.

The Authority shall treat the Registered Owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, and the Authority shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
