The Series 2025A-1 Bonds are subject to redemption in the amounts and on the dates, in whole or in part, in the event of optional prepayment of amounts payable under the Permanent Loan and a corresponding prepayment of the MBS.
The registered owner of this Series 2025A -1 Bond shall have no right to enforce the provisions of the Indenture or to institute actions to enforce the pledge, assignments in trust or covenants made therein or to take any action with respect to an Event of Default under the Indenture or to institute, app ear in or defend any suit or other proceedings with respect thereto, except as provided in the Indenture.
If an Event of Default shall occur, the principal of all Series 2025A -1 Bond s may be declared due and payable upon the conditions, in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that in certain events such declaration and its consequences may be rescinded by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds Outstanding.

In any case where any Payment Date, any other date fixed for the payment of interest on or principal of the Series 2025A-1 Bonds, any maturity date or any date fixed for redemption of any Series 2025A-1 Bonds, shall be a day other than a Business Day, then any payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) required to be made on such date need not be taken or made on such date but may be taken or made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made or taken on the date herein otherwise provided and, in the case of any Payment Date, no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such date.
The Issuer and the Trustee shall treat the registered owner of this Series 2025A-1 Bond as the owner hereof for all purposes, and any notice to the contrary shall not be binding on the Issuer and the Trustee.
