The Obligated Group’s obligations under the Master Indenture are general, joint and several obligations of the Members of the Obligated Group, secured by a lien on Gross Revenues and the Mortgages, as further described herein. The obligations of each Institution under its Loan Agreement and each Member of the Obligated Group’s obligations under the Series 2014 Obligations are general obligations of such parties. Each Loan Agreement requires the applicable Institution to pay, in addition to the fees and expenses of DASNY and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), amounts sufficient to pay the principal, Sinking Fund Installments and Redemption Price of and interest on such Institution’s Allocable Portion, if any, of the related Series 2014 Bonds, as such payments shall become due, and to make payments due under each Series 2014 Obligation. See “PART 2 - SOURCES OF PAYMENT AND SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2014 BONDS.” The Series 2014 Bonds will not be a debt of the State of New York (the “State”) and the State will not be liable on the Series 2014 Bonds. DASNY has no taxing power. Description: The Series 2014 Bonds will be issued as fully registered fixed rate bonds in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof and will mature on the dates and bear interest at the rates shown on the inside cover pages hereof. Interest on the Series 2014 Bonds will accrue from the date of delivery and will be payable semiannually on each January 1 and July 1, commencing January 1, 2015. The Series 2014 Bonds will be issued initially under a book-entry only system, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). Individual purchases of beneficial interests in the Series 2014 Bonds will be made in book-entry form (without certificates). So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the Series 2014 Bonds, payments of the principal, Sinking Fund Installments and Redemption Price of and interest on such Series 2014 Bonds will be made directly to DTC or its nominee. Disbursement of such payments to DTC participants is the responsibility of DTC and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of DTC participants.

Redemption and Purchase: The Series 2014 Bonds are subject to redemption and purchase in lieu of optional redemption prior to maturity as more fully described herein. Tax Matters: In the opinion of Hawkins Delafield & Wood LLP, bond counsel to DASNY (“Bond Counsel”), under existing statutes and court decisions and assuming continuing compliance with certain tax covenants described herein, (i) interest on the Series 2014A Bonds is excluded from gross income for Federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) interest on the Series 2014A Bonds is not treated as a preference item in calculating the alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations under the Code; such interest, however, is included in the adjusted current earnings of certain corporations for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. Bond Counsel also is of the opinion that interest on the Series 2014B Bonds is included in gross income for Federal income tax purposes pursuant to the Code. In addition, Bond Counsel is of the opinion that under existing statutes, interest on the Series 2014 Bonds is exempt from personal income taxes imposed by the State of New York or any political subdivision thereof (including The City of New York). See “PART 12 - TAX MATTERS” herein regarding certain other tax considerations. The Series 2014 Bonds are offered when, as, and if issued and received by the Underwriters.
