The Master Resolution and the Series 2016 Resolutions are herein collectively referred to as the “Resolutions.” None of the funds and accounts established under a Series Resolution to secure a Series of Bonds shall secure any other Series of Bonds. There is no debt service reserve fund securing the Series 2016 Bonds and no real property of any School District secures the Series 2016 Bonds. Each School District is required under its respective Agreement to deliver its general obligation bonds (the “School District Bonds”) to DASNY to evidence its obligation to repay the loan (the “Loan”) to be made by DASNY to the School District from proceeds of the Series 2016 Bonds relating to such Agreement. The principal and redemption price of and interest on the School District Bonds (“Loan Repayments”) are scheduled to be sufficient to repay, when due, the principal and redemption price of and interest on the Loan. Each School District is also required under its respective Agreement to pay such amounts as are required to be paid under such Agreement, including the fees and expenses of DASNY and the Trustee. To secure its payment of all amounts due under its Agreement, each School District under its Agreement has assigned and pledged to DASNY a sufficient portion of public funds apportioned or otherwise made payable by the State to such School District (the “Pledged Revenues”). Each School District has directed and acknowledged that the Pledged Revenues are to be paid directly to the Trustee pursuant to an assignment by DASNY as provided in the Act (as defined herein) and the Memorandum of Understanding among DASNY, the Comptroller of the State and the Commissioner of Education of the State upon the occurrence of certain events of default under its respective Agreement. Each Series of the Series 2016 Bonds will be separately secured by the pledge and assignment to the Trustee of the payments to be made by each School District to DASNY under its respective Agreement and on the School District Bonds and DASNY’s interest in the Pledged Revenues pledged and assigned to DASNY under the Agreements. Each School District will pledge its full faith and credit to the payment of the principal of and interest on the School District Bonds it delivers to DASNY and has the power and is required under State statutes to levy and collect ad valorem taxes on all taxable property within the School District for such payment. No School District is obligated to make payments on behalf of any other School District nor are the Pledged Revenues of any School District pledged to secure the obligation of any other School District. A default by any School District could cause a default on the applicable Series of the Series 2016 Bonds. See “PART 2 – SOURCES OF PAYMENT AND SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2016 BONDS.” The Series 2016 Bonds will not be a debt of the State nor will the State be liable thereon. DASNY has no taxing power. Bond Insurance: The scheduled payment of principal of and interest on certain maturities of the Series 2016 Bonds as set forth on the inside cover page of this Official Statement (collectively, the “Insured Bonds”) when due will be guaranteed under the municipal bond insurance policies (collectively, the “Policy”) to be issued concurrently with the delivery of the Insured Bonds by Build America Mutual Assurance Company (“BAM” or the “Insurer”).

Individual purchases of beneficial interests in the Series 2016 Bonds will be made in Book-Entry form without certificates.
