supplemented and amended; and
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco (hereinafter referred to as LOCAL GOVERNMENT) desires to amend Loan
Agreement Number PW -5-95-791-026; and
WHEREAS, consistent with its governmental purposes, the BOARD has an established program of lending money
to local governments that, among other things, is intended to (i) minimize borrowing costs to local governments, (ii)
operate with low administrative burdens on the BOARD and local governments, (iii) ensure future participation by
local governments in the program and (iv) provide reasonable loan security for the BOARD and its funds; and
WHEREAS, the BOARD's standard loan agreements contain provisions (the "Acceleration Provisions") allowing
the BOARD, in certain circumstances, to declare the entire remaining balance of a loan made thereunder, together
with accrued interest, immediately due and payable; and
WHEREAS, various local government borrowers under the BOARD's programs believe that the Acceleration
Provisions increase the cost of incurring indebtedness with a lien senior to that of the BOARD's loans and have
requested that the BOARD either modify the loan agreements to remove the Acceleration Provisions or otherwise
agree not to exercise the Acceleration Provisions; and

Provisions have increased borrowing costs for certain borrowers and are likely to increase such costs in the future;

agreements on the borrowing costs of local governments and to increase demand for its loans; and
WHEREAS, existing remedies contained within the loan agreements, together with clarifications of certain of the
BOARD's existing rights in relation to other creditors, provide protection to the BOARD and its funds which the
BOARD deems sufficient in light of its desire to decrease borrowing costs for local governments; and
WHEREAS, on February 4, 2003 the BOARD modified its form loan agreements by removing acceleration
provisions and adding provisions clarifying the existing right of the BOARD to notify a borrowers other creditors
upon an event of default or other failure to comply with a loan agreement; and
WHEREAS, consistent with its program of lending, the BOARD desires that its loan provisions be generally
consistent and, therefore, desires to amend its existing loan agreements to conform to the modifications of its form
loan agreements; and
