“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Underwritten Security to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption, assuming for such purpose that such Underwritten Security matured on the applicable Par Call Date; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such Underwritten Security, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be deemed to be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.
