    (I) the refunding obligation was not taken into account under subparagraph (C) by reason of clause (ii)(III) thereof,
    (II) the average maturity date of the refunding obligations issued as part of the issue of which such refunding obligation is a part is not later than the average maturity date of the obligations to be refunded by such issue, and
