2 In order to ensure the successful settlement of the Program Bonds and the GSE Securities, HFA Special Advisors must: do all things necessary to register the Program Bonds with DTC so they can be settled, released and credited to the Closing Agent on the pre-settlement day, and provide the GSEs with a 10b-5 opinion with respect to the Official Statement issued for the Program Bonds. The Special Advisor may be any experienced party able to successfully perform the duties detailed in the Placement and Settlement Agreements with regard to properly setting up and processing bonds through DTC. Despite the fact that an HFA’s Program Bonds will not be traditionally underwritten or placed by an investment bank, an investment bank is generally skilled and experienced in performing the duties required of the Special Advisor under this Program. Similarly, a qualified Financial Advisor may routinely and customarily perform the duties required of the Special Advisor within this Program. The Special Advisor will provide a UW Source spreadsheet to US Bank instead of providing the Eligibility Questionnaire to DTC. US Bank will register the program bonds with DTC and US Bank will be listed as the ‘Lead Underwriter’ on the DTC System. Special Advisor Role

4 Key Steps Beginning at 9:00 AM, DTC’s systems will establish a one-sided FAST inventory with each of the HFA Trustees. Each respective Trustee will confirm bond information in the DTC FRAC screens. This can begin as early as 6:00 AM. To issue the HFA bonds DTC, USB and the HFA Trustees will participate on the DTC “closing call” Upon agreement by all parties that the settlement requirements have been met, DTC will issue Program Bonds Each HFA trustee will close all of their HFA clients on the same DTC call. For example if Wells is Trustee for Iowa and New York they will close both issuances on the same “closing call.” All “closing calls” must take place no later than 1:15 p.m. on December 21. Program Bonds will be delivered directly to US Bank acting as Closing Agent, to be held in escrow pending the December 23 settlement. USB, at the end of the day will notify the GSEs, each HFA, Treasury and JPMC which HFAs have successfully settled their bonds HFA Bond Settlement (12/21)
