Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the remarketing agents named therein (the “Remarketing Agents”). The Sub-Series A Bonds will accrue interest at the interest rates set forth below.
Sub-Series A Bonds | Par Amount | Interest Rate | Interest Payment Dates | First Interest Payment Date | Mandatory Purchase Date |
