The Variable Rate will be equal to the rate of interest certified to the Trustee by First Union National Bank of North Carolina as remarketing agent for the Bonds (herein, with its successors in such capacity, called the "Remarketing Agent") on and as of each Wednesday (or the next succeeding Business Day (as defined in the Indenture) if such Wednesday is not a Business Day) (herein called the "Determination Date") as the minimum rate of interest necessary, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent taking into account market conditions prevailing on the Determination Date, to enable the Remarketing Agent to arrange for the sale of all of the Bonds on the Determination Date in the secondary market at a price equal to the principal amount thereof (plus interest accrued to the date of settlement). If the Remarketing Agent fails to certify such rate, the Variable Rate for the next Calculation Period or Periods (hereinafter defined) until thereafter certified by the Remarketing Agent will remain the same as that most recently established and certified by the Remarketing Agent. In the event the Remarketing Agent fails to certify such rate for four (4) consecutive Calculation Periods, the rate for each Calculation Period thereafter (if none is certified by the Remarketing Agent) will be ninety percent (90%) of the yield for United States Treasury bills maturing approximately thirty (30) days after the Determination Date as published by The Wall Street Journal on such Determination Date (or, if The Wall Street Journal is no longer published, then any reasonably equivalent financial publication selected by the Remarketing Agent) (or the next preceding Business Day on which The Wall Street Journal is published if not published on the Determination Date). For purposes hereof, "Calculation Period" shall mean the period from and including the day following the Determination Date of each week (even if not a Business Day) to and including the following Determination Date; provided that if during the Variable Period the Determination Date at the end of such Calculation Period is a Regular Record Date, such Calculation Period will extend until the Business Day following such Determination Date. If, for any reason, the Variable Rate is not determined as described above or is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction for any period, the interest rate for each such period will be equal to eight percent (8.00%) per annum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Indenture, the Variable Rate will not be a rate of interest in excess of fifteen percent (15.00%) per annum. Interest prior to the Conversion Date (hereinafter defined) will be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) day year, as applicable, for the number of days actually elapsed, and will be payable on each Interest Payment Date. Fixed Rate. (a) The interest rate on this Bond will be converted to the Fixed Rate upon an election by the Company pursuant to the Indenture to convert the rate of interest on all Bonds then outstanding from the Variable Rate to the Fixed Rate upon satisfaction of certain conditions and notice given by the Company and by the Trustee in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture, and the Bonds shall be subject to mandatory tender for purchase by the owners thereof on the Conversion Date, which shall be an Interest Payment Date. On and after the Conversion Date the owners of the Bonds will not be entitled to tender Bonds for purchase. On or before the Conversion Date, the Placement Agent will determine the Fixed Rate in the manner described in subsection (c) below, and will promptly notify the Company and the Trustee of the Fixed Rate. (b) At least twenty (20) but not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Conversion Date, a notice will be mailed by the Trustee to each registered owner of Bonds stating, among other things, (1) the Conversion Date, (2) the name and address of the placement agent which has agreed to use its best efforts to arrange for the sale of any Bonds to be tendered or deemed tendered for purchase on the Conversion Date (herein called the "Placement Agent"), (3) that after the seventeenth (17th) day preceding the Conversion Date, the owner will not be entitled to deliver an Optional Tender Notice and that after the tenth (10th) day preceding the Conversion Date, the owner will not be entitled to tender this Bond for purchase as described below, (4) that this Bond will be deemed tendered for purchase on the Conversion Date, (5) that in order to receive payment of the purchase price of any Bond which is deemed to have been tendered, the registered owner of such Bond must deliver such Bond to the office of the Tender Agent before 10 a.m. Eastern time on the Conversion Date, and (6) that interest on any Bond will be payable only to (but not including) the Conversion Date. Any Bonds not so tendered on the Conversion Date ("Undelivered Bonds"), for which there has been irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee an amount of moneys sufficient to pay the purchase price of the Undelivered Bonds, shall be deemed to have been tendered and purchased at the purchase price. IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE BY AN OWNER OF BONDS TO TENDER ITS BONDS ON OR PRIOR TO THE CONVERSION DATE, SAID OWNER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY PAYMENT (INCLUDING ANY INTEREST TO ACCRUE SUBSEQUENT TO THE CONVERSION DATE) OTHER THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR SUCH UNTENDERED BONDS, AND ANY UNTENDERED BONDS SHALL NO LONGER BE ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF THE INDENTURE, EXCEPT FOR THE PURPOSE OF PAYMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE THEREFOR. (c) Upon the Conversion Date stated in such notice, the Fixed Rate to be borne by the Bonds for the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the Maturity Date or prior redemption of the Bonds (the "Fixed Rate"), will be the interest rate per annum which, in the sole judgment of the Placement Agent, taking into account prevailing financial market conditions, would be the minimum interest rate required to sell such Bonds on the Conversion Date at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Fixed Rate shall be determined by the Placement Agent on or before the Conversion Date, and the Placement Agent shall notify the Trustee and the Company thereof by telephone or such other manner as may be appropriate by not later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern time on such date, which notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing. (d) If, for any reason, the Fixed Rate is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Fixed Rate will be eight percent (8.00%) per annum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Indenture, the Fixed Rate will not be a rate of interest in excess of fifteen percent (15.00%) per annum. (e) The Fixed Rate will be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year, computed for the actual number of days elapsed, and will be payable on each Interest Payment Date after the Conversion Date until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall have been paid in full. Interest Rate Determination Binding. The determination of the interest rate on the Bonds by the Remarketing Agent or Placement Agent, as appropriate, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture will be conclusive and binding upon the registered owners of the Bonds, the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, the Placement Agent, the Tender Agent and the Credit Facility Issuer.

Notice of Redemption and Selection of Bonds. Any notice of redemption, identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, will be given not more than sixty (60) days and not less than twenty (20) days prior to the redemption date, by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail to the owner of each Bond to be redeemed in whole or in part at the address shown on the Bond Register maintained by the Bond Registrar. Notice of optional redemption may be conditioned upon the deposit of moneys with the Trustee before the date fixed for redemption and such notice will be of no effect unless such moneys are so deposited. All Bonds so called for redemption, including Bonds purchased by the Company as provided in the Indenture but not yet surrendered for payment of the purchase price, will cease to bear interest on the specified redemption date provided funds for their redemption price and any accrued interest payable on the specified redemption date are on deposit at the principal place of payment at that time. If less than all the Bonds are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds to be called for redemption will be selected in the following order of priority: first, Bonds pledged to the Credit Facility Issuer; second, Bonds owned by the Company and third, Bonds selected by any random or other method determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion.

While the Bonds bear interest at the Variable Rate, any Bond or portion thereof in an authorized denomination will be purchased on the demand of the owner thereof, on any Business Day at a purchase price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to the date of purchase upon delivery to the Tender Agent of an Optional Tender Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (herein called the "Optional Tender Notice") specifying the date on which such Bond will be purchased, which date will be a Business Day not prior to the seventh (7th) day after the date of delivery of the Optional Tender Notice.

THE OWNER OF THIS BOND, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES THAT DELIVERY OF THE WRITTEN NOTICE DESCRIBED IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH BY THE OWNER CONSTITUTES AN IRREVOCABLE OFFER TO SELL THIS BOND ON THE DATE SPECIFIED, AND THAT THIS BOND WILL BE PURCHASED ON SUCH DATE UPON DEPOSIT WITH THE TENDER AGENT OF AN AMOUNT SUFFICIENT TO PAY THE PURCHASE PRICE HEREOF.

The Remarketing Agent shall give notice by telephone, telecopier, telex, telegram or other telecommunication device, and upon request shall confirm in writing, on the Determination Date to the Trustee and the Company of the interest rate to be in effect for the following Calculation Period. The determination of the Variable Rate by the Remarketing Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the Bondholders, the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee, the Tender Agent and the Remarketing Agent. Any owner may request the Variable Rate in effect from time to time with respect to the Bonds from the Trustee or the Remarketing Agent. (e) Fixed Rate; Conversion to Fixed Rate. (1) The Company has a one-time option to convert the interest rate payable on the Bonds from the Variable Rate to the Fixed Rate effective on an Interest Payment Date following compliance by the Company with the provisions of this Section 202(e). The Bonds shall be subject to mandatory tender for purchase by the Owners thereof on the Conversion Date. To exercise the option to convert, the Company shall deliver or mail by first class mail (i) a notice to the Trustee and the Credit Facility Issuer with respect to the determination of the Company to convert the interest rate on the Bonds from the Variable Rate to the Fixed Rate, which notice shall be delivered to the Trustee at least thirty (30) but not more than forty-five (45) days prior to the Conversion Date, and (ii) the opinion of Bonds Counsel described in Section 202(f) hereof. The Trustee shall then deliver or mail by first class mail a notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B at least twenty (20) days but not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Conversion Date to the Owner of each Bond at the address shown on the registration books of the Issuer. Any notice given by the Trustee as provided in this Section shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Owner receives the notice. Failure to mail any such notice, or the mailing of defective notice, to any Owner, shall not affect the proceeding for purchase as to any Owner to whom proper notice is mailed. Said notice shall state, among other things, (1) the Conversion Date, (2) the name and address of the placement agent which has agreed to use its best efforts to arrange for the sale of any bonds to be tendered or deemed tendered for purchase on the Conversion Date (herein called the "Placement Agent"), (3) that after the seventeenth (17th) day preceeding the Conversion Date, the owner will not be entitled to deliver an Optional Tender Notice and that after tenth (10th) day preceding the Conversion Date, the owner will not be entitled to tender this Bond for purchase as described below, (4) that this Bond will be deemed tendered for purchase on the Conversion Date, (5) that in order to receive payment of the purchase price of any Bond which is deemed to have been tendered, the registered owner of such Bond must deliver such Bond to the office of the Tender Agent before 10 a.m. Eastern time on the Conversion Date specifying such address, and (6) that interest on any Bond will be payable only to (but not including) the Conversion Date. As described above, Owners of Bonds shall be required to tender their Bonds on the Conversion Date to the Tender Agent for purchase at the purchase price, and any such Bonds not so tendered on the Conversion Date ("Undelivered Bonds"), for which there has been irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee an amount of moneys sufficient to pay the Purchase Price of the Untendered Bonds, shall be deemed to have been tendered and purchased pursuant to this Section 202(e). IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE BY AN OWNER OF BONDS TO TENDER ITS BONDS ON OR PRIOR TO THE CONVERSION DATE, SAID OWNER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY PAYMENT (INCLUDING ANY INTEREST TO ACCRUE SUBSEQUENT TO THE CONVERSION DATE) OTHER THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR SUCH UNTENDERED BONDS, AND ANY UNTENDERED BONDS SHALL NO LONGER BE ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF THIS INDENTURE, EXCEPT FOR THE PURPOSE OF PAYMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE THEREFOR. (2) On or before the proposed Conversion Date, the Placement Agent shall determine the Fixed Rate as of such date in the manner described in subsection (4) below and shall notify the Trustee and the Company of the Fixed Rate by telephone, telecopier, telex, telegram or other telecommunication device and upon request, shall confirm such notice in writing. (3) Any owner of Bonds to be converted to a Fixed Rate shall be deemed to have tendered its Bonds to the Tender Agent. Said owner shall not be entitled to any payment (including any interest to accrue subsequently to the Conversion Date) other than the purchase price for such Bonds which shall be equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Bonds, and any such Bonds shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, except for the purpose of payment of the purchase price therefor and interest payable on the Conversion Date. Payment of the purchase price of any such Bonds shall be made only upon the presentment and surrender of such Bonds to the Tender Agent. Upon request, the Trustee shall provide the Tender Agent with the address set forth on the Bond Register for such owner. The Trustee shall notify the Bond Registrar of all Bonds with respect to which the Trustee has not received Optional Retention Notices, which Bonds shall be deemed to be tendered for purchase on the Conversion Date. In the case of any Bond deemed tendered, the Issuer shall cause to be executed, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the new owner as provided in Section 301 hereof a new Bond of like date and tenor in lieu of and in substitution for such Bond deemed to be tendered. (4) On or before the Conversion Date, the Fixed Rate shall be the interest rate per annum which, in the sole judgment of the Placement Agent, taking into account prevailing financial market conditions, would be the minimum interest rate required to sell such Bonds on the Conversion Date at a price equal to the 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Fixed Rate shall be determined by the Placement Agent on or before the Conversion Date, and the Placement Agent shall notify the Trustee and the Company thereof by telephone or such other manner as may be appropriate by not later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Conversion Date, which notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing. (f) Condition to Conversion; Additional Notices. (1) As a condition to the giving of notice as provided in Section 202(e) above, the Company shall provide the Trustee with an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the proposed conversion of the interest rate on the Bonds will not cause the interest on the Bonds to be includable in the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. (2) The delivery by the Company to the Trustee of a letter from Bond Counsel confirming the opinion required prior to the notification described above on such Conversion Date is a condition precedent to any such Conversion. In the event that the Company fails to deliver to the Trustee the letter of Bond Counsel referred to in the preceding sentence, such Conversion shall not take effect, and the Bonds shall continue to bear interest at the Variable Rate. (3) The Trustee shall provide the Tender Agent with a copy of any notice delivered to the owners of the Bonds pursuant to Section 202 hereof. Section 203. Optional Tender Provisions of the Bonds. (a) While the Bonds bear interest at the Variable Rate, any Bond or portion thereof in an authorized denomination (other than a Bond registered in the name of the Company) shall be purchased on the demand of the owner thereof, on any Business Day at a purchase price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to the date of purchase, if the owner of such Bond delivers to the Tender Agent at its address filed with the Trustee an Optional Tender Notice at least seven (7) days prior to the Variable Rate Purchase Date specified in such Notice. (b) Any Optional Tender Notice delivered pursuant to the preceding subsection shall automatically constitute: (1) an irrevocable offer to sell such bond on the Variable Rate Purchase Date at a price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of such Bond plus interest accrued to the Variable Rate Purchase Date; and (2) an irrevocable authorization and instruction to the Bond Registrar to effect transfer of such Bond to the purchaser thereof on the Variable Rate Purchase Date. No purchase of Bonds pursuant to the provisions of this Section 203 shall be deemed a redemption thereof. (c) Any owner who delivers an Optional Tender Notice pursuant to this Section 203 shall deliver such Bond to the Tender Agent, at its address filed with the Trustee, not less than five (5) days prior to the Variable Rate Purchase Date specified in the aforesaid Optional Tender Notice; provided, however, that any Bond owner which is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 may deliver Bonds owned by it to the Tender Agent at its address filed with the Trustee, at or prior to 10:00 a.m. on the Variable Rate Purchase Date. All Bonds delivered to the Tender Agent pursuant to this Section 203 must be duly endorsed for transfer in blank in form satisfactory to the Trustee. (d) If a Bondholder who gives the Optional Tender Notice shall fail to deliver the Bond or Bonds identified in the Optional Tender Notice to the Tender Agent at or prior to 10:00 a.m. on the Variable Rate Purchase Date, such Undelivered Bond shall be purchased and shall cease to accrue interest on such Variable Rate Purchase Date and the owner thereof shall thereafter be entitled only to payment of the purchase price therefor and not to the benefits of this Indenture, and the Issuer, to the extent permitted by law, shall execute and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver a substitute Bond or Bonds in lieu of the Undelivered Bond and the Bond Registrar shall register such Bond in the name of the purchaser or purchasers thereof pursuant to Section 205 hereof. The Tender Agent shall notify the Trustee and the Bond Registrar of any Undelivered Bonds. The Trustee shall (1) notify the Remarketing Agent of such Undelivered Bond and (2) place a stop transfer against such Undelivered Bonds until the Undelivered Bonds are properly delivered to the Tender Agent. Payment of the purchase price of any such Undelivered Bonds shall be made only upon the presentment and surrender of such Bonds to the Tender Agent. Upon notice of such delivery, the Bond Registrar shall make any necessary adjustment to the Bond Register. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the rights of the owners to tender Bonds pursuant to this Section 203 shall cease immediately and without further notice from and including the date payment of the Bonds is accelerated following an Event of Default pursuant to Article IX hereof. Section 204. Registered Bonds Required; Bond Registrar and Bond Register. (a) All Bonds shall be issued in fully registered form. The Bonds shall be registered upon original issuance and upon subsequent transfer or exchange as provided in this Indenture. (b) The Issuer shall designate one or more persons to act as "Bond Registrar" for the Bonds, provided that the Bond Registrar appointed for the Bonds shall be either the Trustee or a person which would meet the requirements for qualification as a successor trustee imposed by Section 1014 hereof. The Issuer hereby appoints The First National Bank of Boston as its Bond Registrar in respect of the Bonds. Any person other than the Trustee undertaking to act as Bond Registrar shall first execute a written agreement, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, to perform the duties of a Bond Registrar under this Indenture, which agreement shall be filed with the Trustee and the Tender Agent. (c) The Bond Registrar shall act as registrar and transfer agent for the Bonds.

The Issuer shall cause the Bond Registrar to designate, by a written notification to the Trustee, a specific office location (which may be changed from time to time, upon similar notification) at which the Bond Register is kept. In the absence of a specific designation by the Bond Registrar, the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee in Canton, Massachusetts shall be deemed such office in respect of the Bonds for which the Trustee is acting as Bond Registrar. Section 205. Transfer and Exchange. (a) Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the office of the Bond Registrar, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee or its Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees, one or more new fully registered Bonds of authorized denomination for the aggregate principal amount which the new owner is entitled to receive; provided that if moneys for the purchase of such Bond have been provided pursuant to a draw under the Credit Facility, such Bond shall not be transferable to any one other than the Company or its assignee or pledgee. Except for transfers in connection with the purchase of Bonds pursuant to Section 203 hereof and the remarketing thereof pursuant to Article III, which shall be effected at the office of the Tender Agent in Canton, Massachusetts, Bonds shall be surrendered for transfer at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee in Canton, Massachusetts. Also, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee or its Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver Bonds in lieu of Undelivered Bonds. (b) Bonds may be exchanged for other Bonds of any other authorized denomination, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at the principal corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar or Trustee; provided, however, that in connection with the purchase of Bonds tendered for purchase and the remarketing thereof pursuant to Article III hereof, Bonds may be exchanged at the principal office of the Tender Agent, or any office of any agent designated by, the Trustee. Whenever any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or its Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Bonds which the Bondholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. (c) All Bonds presented for transfer, exchange, redemption or payment (if so required by the Issuer, the Bond Registrar or the Trustee) shall be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or authorization for exchange, in form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar, which may include a signature guarantee, duly executed by the owner or by his attorney duly authorized in writing. (d) No service charge shall be made to a Bondholder for any exchange or transfer of Bonds, but the Issuer or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. (e) Except in connection with the purchase of Bonds pursuant to Section 203 hereof and the remarketing thereof pursuant to Article III hereof, neither the Issuer nor any Bond Registrar on behalf of the Issuer shall be required to issue, transfer or exchange any Bond selected for redemption in whole or in part. (f) New Bonds delivered upon transfer or exchange shall be valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt as the Bond surrendered, shall be secured by this Indenture and shall be entitled to all of the security and benefits hereof to the same extent as the Bonds surrendered; Section 206. Execution. (a) The Bonds shall be executed by the manual or facsimile signature of the Chairman, the seal of the Issuer shall be affixed, imprinted, lithographed or reproduced thereon and the same shall be attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Clerk. (b) Bonds executed as above provided may be issued and shall, upon request of the Issuer, be authenticated by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, notwithstanding that any officer signing such Bonds or whose facsimile signature appears thereon shall have ceased to hold office at the time of issuance or authentication or shall not have held office at the date of the Bond. Section 207. Authentication; Authenticating Agent. (a) No Bond shall be valid for any purpose until the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication thereon shall have been duly executed as provided in this Indenture, and such authentication shall be conclusive proof that such Bond has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and that the owner thereof is entitled to the benefit of the trust hereby created subject to the provisions of Section 203(d) and Article XIV hereof. (b) If the Bond Registrar is other than the Trustee, the Trustee may appoint the Bond Registrar as an Authenticating Agent with the power to act on the Trustee's behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of Bonds in connection with transfers and exchanges under Section 205 hereof, and the authentication and delivery of Bonds by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall, for all purposes of this Indenture, be deemed to be the authentication and delivery "by the Trustee". The Trustee shall, however, itself authenticate all Bonds upon their initial issuance. The Authenticating Agent may authenticate Bonds in substitution for Undelivered Bonds. The Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Company for its services. (c) Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of the Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible as a Bond Registrar under Section 204 hereof, without the execution or filing of any further document on the part of the parties hereto or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, the Issuer and the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer and the Company, and shall mail notice of such appointment to all owners of Bonds as the names and addresses of such owners appear on the Bond Register. Section 208. Payment of Principal and Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. (a) The principal and redemption price of any Bond shall be payable, upon surrender of such Bond, at the office of the Trustee or other paying agent appointed pursuant to this Indenture. Interest on each Interest Payment Date shall be payable by check, mailed on the Interest Payment Date to the address of the person entitled thereto on the Regular Record Date or, if applicable, the Special Record Date, as such address shall appear in the Bond Register. While the Bonds bear interest at a Variable Rate, Interest shall also be payable by wire transfer to the account of a member bank of the Federal Reserve System of any owner of Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or more at the written request (identifying such account by number) of such owner received by the Trustee on or prior to the Regular Record Date or Special Record Date. (b) Interest on any Bond which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Bond is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. (c) Any interest on any Bond which is payable, and is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the owner of such Bonds on the relevant Regular Record Date solely by virtue of such registered owner having been such record owner on the Regular Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid, pursuant to Section 911 hereof, to the person in whose name the Bond is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee, such date to be not more than fifteen (15) nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of proposed payment. The Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Bondholder, at its address as it appears in the Bond Register, not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date. (d) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 208, each Bond delivered under this Indenture, upon transfer of or exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, as such other Bond. All payments of principal and redemption price of and interest on the Bonds, whether upon redemption, acceleration, maturity or otherwise, shall be made first, pursuant to draws under the Credit Facility in accordance with its terms on the dates when due; second, from other Available Moneys on deposit with the Trustee and not held in trust for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds pursuant to the provisions of Article XIV hereof; and then from other collected funds available to the Trustee hereunder for such payments. Section 209. Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee, the Bond Registrar and the Authenticating Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name any Bond is registered as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not such Bond shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Issuer, the Trustee, the Bond Registrar or the Authenticating Agent) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any, on), and (subject to Section 208 hereof) interest on such Bond, and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee, the Bond Registrar, nor the Authenticating Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such registered owner, or upon his order, shall be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Bond. Section 210. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, Stolen or Undelivered Bonds. (a) If any Bond shall become mutilated, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or its Authenticating Agent shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor and denomination in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only upon surrender to the Trustee of such mutilated Bond for cancellation, and the Issuer and the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity therefor. If any Bond shall be reported lost, stolen or destroyed, evidence as to the loss, theft or destruction thereof shall be submitted to the Issuer and the Trustee; and if such evidence shall be satisfactory to both and indemnity satisfactory to both shall be given, the Issuer shall execute, and thereupon the Trustee or its Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor and denomination. The cost of providing any substitute Bond under the provisions of this Section shall be borne by the Bondholder for whose benefit such substitute Bond is provided. If any such mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Bond shall have matured or be about to mature, the Issuer may, with the consent of the Trustee, pay to the owner the principal amount of such Bond upon the maturity thereof and the compliance with the aforesaid conditions by such owner, without the issuance of a substitute Bond therefor. (b) The Issuer shall execute and the Trustee or its Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver a substitute Bond in lieu of each Undelivered Bond. (c) Every substituted Bond issued pursuant to this Section 210 shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the Bond alleged to have been destroyed, lost or stolen shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued hereunder. (d) All Bonds shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are, to the extent permitted by law, exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, stolen or Undelivered Bonds and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies. Section 211. Temporary Bonds. Pending preparation of definitive Bonds, or by agreement with the purchasers of all Bonds, the Issuer may issue, and, upon its request, the Trustee shall authenticate, in lieu of definitive Bonds one or more temporary printed or typewritten Bonds of substantially the tenor recited above in any denomination authorized under Section 202 hereof. Upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Bonds in exchange for and upon surrender of an equal principal amount of temporary Bonds. Until so exchanged, temporary Bonds shall have the same rights, remedies and security hereunder as definitive Bonds. Section 212. Cancellation of Surrendered Bonds. Bonds surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange and Bonds surrendered to the Trustee by the Issuer or by the Company for cancellation shall be cancelled by the Trustee and a certificate evidencing such cancellation shall be furnished by the Trustee to the Issuer and the Company. Bonds purchased pursuant to Section 203 hereof shall not be surrendered Bonds and, unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, shall be Outstanding Bonds. Section 213.

(e) During the Variable Rate Period, the Remarketing Agent shall continue to use its best efforts to arrange for the sale, at the best price available, but not less than the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, of any Bonds purchased with moneys advanced under the Credit Facility pursuant to Section 302(a)(2) hereof; provided that Bonds purchased with moneys advanced under the Credit Facility shall not be released for delivery to the purchasers unless the Credit Facility has been reinstated by the sum of (a) the amount drawn thereunder to pay the purchase price for such Bonds and (b) interest on such portion for 120 days at a maximum rate of 15%, and the Trustee has received the executed reinstatement certificate required to be delivered by such Credit Facility Issuer.

Thereafter, interest on such Undelivered Bond shall cease to accrue, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to payment of the purchase price therefor and not to the benefits of the Indenture.

While the Bonds bear interest at the Variable Rate, the Company may, at its option, provide for the delivery to the Trustee of an Alternate Credit Facility. The Alternate Credit Facility shall have terms in all respects material to the owners of the Bonds the same as the Credit Facility being replaced and shall be in form acceptable to the Trustee and the Tender Agent. On or prior to the date of delivery of an Alternate Credit Facility to the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee: (1) an opinion of Counsel stating that the delivery of such Alternate Credit Facility to the Trustee is authorized under this Indenture and complies with the terms hereof and that such Alternate Credit Facility is enforceable against the Credit Facility Issuer thereof in accordance with its terms, and (2) if the Bonds are rated by Moody's or S&P, written evidence (or such other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee) from Moody's, if the Bonds are rated by Moody's, and from S&P, if the Bonds are rated by S&P, in each case to the effect that such rating agency has reviewed the proposed Alternate Credit Facility and that the substitution of the proposed Alternate Credit Facility for the then current Credit Facility will not, by itself, result in: (A) a permanent withdrawal of its rating of the Bonds, or (B) a reduction of the then current rating of the Bonds, or if the Bonds are not rated by Moody's or S&P, written evidence (or such other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion) that obligations substantially equivalent in term to the term of the proposed Alternate Letter of Credit of the bank or institution issuing the proposed Alternate Credit Facility are rated by Moody's or S&P in the same category as the obligations of substantially equivalent term of the bank or institution which issued the Credit Facility being replaced; provided, however, if the Company provides the Trustee with an opinion of Bond Counsel that a change in the then current rating on the Bonds or a change in the Credit Facility Issuer to a bank or institution the obligations of which are rated in a different category than those obligations of equivalent term of the issuer of the Credit Facility being replaced will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income from federal tax purposes, then such evidence need not be provided, but the Company shall instead provide the Trustee with written evidence (or such other evidence as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) that the commercial paper of the bank or institution issuing the proposed Alternate Credit Facility is rated P-3 or higher by Moody's or A-3 or higher by S&P. The Trustee shall then accept such Alternate Credit Facility and surrender the previously held Credit Facility to the previous Credit Facility Issuer for cancellation promptly on or before the fifteenth (15th) day after the Alternate Credit Facility becomes effective, but not later than the fifteenth (15th) day following the last Interest Payment Date covered by the Credit Facility to be cancelled. (d) Notices of Substitution or Replacement of Credit Facility. (1) The Trustee shall, at least twenty (20) days prior to the proposed replacement of a Credit Facility with an Alternate Credit Facility, give notice thereof by mail to the owners of the Bonds, which notice shall include the identity of the issuer thereof and the rating, if any, to be assigned to the Bonds by Moody's or S&P following the effective date of such Alternate Credit Facility or, if the Bonds are not then rated by Moody's or S&P, then the rating assigned by Moody's or S&P to the obligations substantially equivalent in term to the term of the proposed Alternate Credit Facility of the Issuer of such Alternate Credit Facility. (2) The Trustee shall promptly give notice of any replacement of the Credit Facility to the Issuer, the Tender Agent and the Remarketing Agent.

(c) Mandatory Redemption. (1) Determination of Taxability. The Bonds shall be subject to mandatory redemption in whole on any date at a redemption price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date which shall not be more than one hundred eighty (180) days following the receipt by the Trustee of a written notice of a Determination of Taxability. (2) Failure to Provide Alternate Credit Facility. The Bonds shall be subject to mandatory redemption during the Variable Rate Period at one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, without premium, plus interest accrued, if any, thereon to the date of redemption, on the Interest Payment Date occurring closest to but not after fifteen (15) days prior to the date of expiration of the then current Credit Facility, unless an Alternate Credit Facility has been provided in accordance with Article VI hereof.

The Bonds shall be subject to mandatory purchase in whole on the Conversion Date at a purchase price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, without premium, plus interest accrued, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, on the Conversion Date. Section 702. Company to Direct Optional Redemption. The Issuer shall direct the Trustee in writing to call Bonds for optional redemption when and only when it shall have been notified by the Company to do so and the Company has notified the Trustee in writing that the Company has made or intends to make a corresponding prepayment under the Note. Such direction from the Issuer to the Trustee shall be given at least forty-five (45) days but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee. So long as a Credit Facility is then held by the Trustee, the Trustee shall only call Bonds for optional redemption if it has Available Moneys in the Payments Account of the Bond Fund or has been notified by the Credit Facility Issuer that it will receive moneys pursuant to the Credit Facility, in the aggregate, sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Bonds to be called for redemption, plus accrued interest thereon. Section 703. Selection of Bonds to be Called for Redemption. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Bonds, if less than all the Bonds are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds to be called for redemption shall be selected in the following order of priority: first, Bonds pledged to the Bank pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, second, Bonds owned by the Company and third, Bonds selected by any random or other method determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion to be fair and reasonable. The Trustee shall treat any Bond of a denomination greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) as representing that number of separate Bonds each of the denomination of the minimum denomination of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or any integral multiple of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) in excess thereof as the Trustee shall so determine. Section 704. Notice of Redemption or Purchase. (a) When required to redeem or purchase Bonds under any provision of this Article VII, or when directed to do so by the Issuer, the Trustee shall cause notice of the redemption or purchase to be given not more than sixty (60) days and not less than twenty (20) days prior to the redemption or purchase date by mailing a copy of all notices of redemption or purchase by first class mail, postage prepaid, to all registered owners of Bonds to be redeemed or purchased at their addresses shown on the Bond Register. Failure to mail any such notice or defect in the mailing thereof in respect of any Bond shall not affect the validity of the redemption or purchase of any other Bond. Notices of redemption or purchases shall also be mailed to the Remarketing Agency and the Credit Facility Issuer, if any. Any such notice shall be given in the name of the Issuer, shall identify the Bonds to be redeemed or purchased (and, in the case of partial redemption or purchase of any Bonds, the respective principal amounts thereof to be redeemed or purchased), shall specify the redemption or purchase date, and shall state that on the redemption or purchase date, the redemption or purchase price of the Bonds called for redemption or purchase will be payable at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, or in the case of mandatory redemptions or purchases pursuant to Section 701(c)(2) or 701(d) hereof at the office of the Trustee's Paying Agent, if any, and that from that date interest will cease to accrue. The Trustee may use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption or purchase as a convenience to Bondholders, provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Bonds or as contained in any notice of redemption or purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the identification numbers containing the prefix established under the Indenture. (b) With respect to any notice of redemption or purchase of Bonds in accordance with Section 701(c)(2) hereof, such notice shall also specify the date of the expiration of the term of the Credit Facility. (c) After the Conversion Date, if at the time of mailing of notice of any optional redemption the Issuer shall not have deposited with the Trustee moneys sufficient to redeem all the Bonds called for redemption, such notice may state that it is conditional on the deposit of Available Moneys with the Trustee not later than the redemption date, and such notice shall be of no effect unless such moneys are so deposited. (d) Upon redemption of less than all of the Bonds, the Trustee shall furnish to the Credit Facility Issuer a notice in the form specified by the Credit Facility Issuer to reduce the coverage provided by the Credit Facility and upon redemption of all of the Bonds, the Trustee shall surrender the Credit Facility to the Credit Facility Issuer for cancellation. (e) Purchases under Section 701(d) hereof shall be in accordance with Section 202(e) hereof. Section 705. Bonds Redeemed or Purchased in Part. Any Bond which is to be redeemed or purchased only in part shall be surrendered at a place stated in the notice provided for in Section 704 hereof (with due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the owner thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee or its Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the owner of such Bond without service charge, a new Bond or Bonds, of any authorized denomination as requested by such owner in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed and unpurchased portion of the principal of the Bond so surrendered. ARTICLE VIII PARTICULAR COVENANTS AND PROVISIONS Section 801. Covenant to Pay the Bonds; Bonds Limited Obligations of the Issuer. (a) The Issuer covenants that it will promptly pay the principal of and interest on and other amounts payable under the Bonds at the places, on the dates and in the manner provided herein and in the Bonds according to the true intent and meaning thereof. Such principal and interest and other amounts are payable solely from the payments made by the Company on the Note and other Revenues. (b) The Issuer shall not in any event be liable for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, or for the performance of any pledge, mortgage, obligation or agreement of any kind whatsoever which may be undertaken by the Issuer, and neither the Bonds nor any of the agreements or obligations of the Issuer shall be construed to constitute an indebtedness of the Issuer within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision whatsoever. The Bonds and the interest thereon shall never constitute an indebtedness or a charge against the general credit of the Issuer within the meaning of any constitutional provision or statutory limitation and shall never constitute nor give rise to any pecuniary liability of the Issuer, but shall be limited obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the revenues and other funds pledged therefor and shall not be payable from any other assets or funds of the Issuer, and neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State or any political subdivision or any agency thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of or the interest on the Bonds. Section 802. Covenants to Perform Obligations Under this Indenture. The Issuer covenants that it will faithfully perform at all times any and all covenants, undertakings, stipulations and provisions contained in this Indenture, in the Bonds executed and delivered hereunder and in all proceedings of the Issuer pertaining thereto and will faithfully observe and perform at all times any and all covenants, undertakings, stipulations and provisions of the Sale Agreement on its part to be observed or performed. The Issuer covenants that it is duly authorized under the Constitution and laws of the State, including particularly and without limitation the Act, to issue the Bonds authorized hereby and to enter into this Indenture, to endorse the Note to the Trustee, to pledge the payments on the Note and other Revenues in the manner and to the extent herein set forth, and to assign its interest in the Note and the Sale Agreement to the Trustee; and that all action on its part for the issuance of the Bonds issued hereunder and the execution and delivery of this Indenture has been duly and effectively taken; and that the Bonds in the hands of the owners thereof are and will be the valid and binding obligations of the Issuer according to the tenor and import thereof. Section 803. Covenant to Perform Obligations Under the Sale Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 804 of this Article, the Issuer covenants and agrees that it will not suffer, permit or take any action or do anything or fail to take any action or fail to do anything which may result in the termination or cancellation of the Sale Agreement so long as any Bond is Outstanding; that it will punctually fulfill its obligations and will require the Company to perform punctually its duties and obligations under the Sale Agreement; that it will not execute or agree to any change, amendment or modification of or supplement to the Sale Agreement or this Indenture except by a supplement or an amendment duly executed by the Issuer and the Company with the approval of the Trustee and upon the further terms and conditions set forth in Article XIII of this Indenture; that it will not agree to any abatement, reduction, abrogation, waiver, diminution or other modification in any manner or to any extent whatsoever of the obligation of the Company to pay the Note and to meet its other obligations as provided in the Sale Agreement; and that it will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any actual or alleged Event of Default under the Sale Agreement, whether by the Company or the Issuer, and will further notify the Trustee at least thirty (30) days before the proposed date of effectiveness of any proposed termination or cancellation of the Sale Agreement. Section 804. Trustee May Enforce the Issuer's Rights Under the Sale Agreement. The Sale Agreement, a duly executed counterpart of which has been filed with the Trustee, sets forth the covenants and obligations of the Issuer and the Company, including a provision in Section 12.9 thereof that subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds and prior to Payment of the Bonds (as defined in the Sale Agreement) the Sale Agreement and the Note may not be effectively amended, changed, modified, altered or terminated except as provided in Article XIII of this Indenture, and reference is hereby made to the Sale Agreement for a detailed statement of said covenants and obligations of the Company under the Sale Agreement, and the Issuer agrees that the Trustee, subject to the provisions of the Sale Agreement and this Indenture reserving certain rights to the Issuer and respecting actions by the Trustee in its name or in the name of the Issuer, may enforce all rights of the Issuer and all obligations of the Company under and pursuant to the Sale Agreement for and on behalf of the Bondholders whether or not the Issuer is in default hereunder. Section 805. Covenant Against Arbitrage. The Issuer covenants and agrees that it will not make or authorize any use, and directs the Trustee not to make or permit any use, of the proceeds of the Bonds which would cause any Bond to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated from time to time thereunder, and further covenants that it will observe and not violate the requirements of Section 148 of the Code and any such applicable regulations to the extent necessary so that the interest on the Bonds will not cease to be excluded from the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes by reason of such use of proceeds; provided that neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any investment of moneys under this Indenture made at the direction of the Company Representative. Section 806. Inspection of the Bond Register. At reasonable times and upon reasonable regulations established by the Bond Registrar, the Bond Register may be inspected and copied by and at the expense of the Company or any Bondholder. Section 807. Priority of Pledge and Security Interest. The pledge herein made of the Trust Estate and the security interest created herein with respect thereto constitutes a first and prior pledge of, and a security interest in, the Trust Estate. Said pledge and security interest shall at no time be impaired directly or indirectly by the Issuer or the Trustee, and the Trust Estate shall not otherwise be pledged and, except as provided herein and in the Sale Agreement, no persons shall have any rights with respect thereto. Section 808. Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. Reference is hereby made to Sections 6.4 and 6.5 of the Sale Agreement whereunder it is provided that under certain circumstances the respective Net Proceeds of insurance and condemnation awards (or Net Proceeds from a sale in lieu of condemnation) are to be paid to the Trustee and deposited in separate trust accounts (but not in the Bond Fund) and to be disbursed and paid out as therein provided. The Trustee hereby accepts and agrees to perform the duties and obligations as therein specified. ARTICLE IX DEFAULT AND REMEDIES Section 901. Defaults. Each of the following events is hereby declared to be an "Event of Default": (a) Payment of interest on any of the Bonds shall not be made when the same shall become due; or (b) Payment of the principal or redemption price of any of the Bonds shall not be made when the same shall become due, whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise; or (c) An "Event of Default" under the Sale Agreement shall have occurred and not have been waived; or (d) The Trustee receives written notice from the Credit Facility Issuer that an Event of Default under the Reimbursement Agreement has occurred and has not been waived; or (e) The Trustee receives notice by telecopier, by telex or in writing from the Credit Facility Issuer that the Credit Facility Issuer has not been reimbursed for a drawing thereon on or before the close of business on the tenth (10th) calendar day following a drawing under such Credit Facility to pay interest on the Bonds and that the interest portion of the Letter of Credit will not be reinstated for the amount so drawn; or (f) Payment of the purchase price of any Bond tendered pursuant to Section 203 hereof is not made when payment is due; or (g) The Issuer shall fail to duly and punctually perform any of the covenants, conditions, agreements and provisions contained in the Bonds or in this Indenture on the part of the Issuer to be performed other than as referred to in the preceding subsections of this Section; provided, however, that no failure specified in subsections (c) or (g) of this Section 901 shall constitute an Event of Default until written notice specifying such failure and requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Company and the Issuer by the Trustee, which may give notice in its discretion and shall give such notice at the written direction of the owners of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of Bonds Outstanding, and the Company and the Issuer shall have had thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to correct said failure and shall not have corrected said failure within the applicable period. Section 902. Acceleration and Annulment Thereof. (a) Subject to the requirement that the consent of the Credit Facility Issuer to any acceleration must be obtained in the case of an Event of Default described in subsections (c) or (g) of Section 901 hereof, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, and upon (1) the written request of the Credit Facility Issuer, or (2) the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subsection (a), (b), (d), (e) or (f) of Section 901 hereof, the Trustee shall, by notice to the Issuer, declare the entire unpaid principal of and interest on the Bonds due and payable; and upon such declaration, the said principal, together with interest accrued thereon, shall become payable immediately, without penalty or premium, at the place of payment provided therein, anything in the Indenture or in the Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding. The Trustee shall not be permitted to request receipt of indemnity to its satisfaction prior to such declaration of acceleration. Upon the occurrence of any acceleration hereunder, the Trustee shall immediately exercise such rights as it may have as the owner of the Note to declare all payments thereunder to be due and payable immediately, and to the extent it has not already done so, shall immediately draw upon the Credit Facility to the extent permitted by the terms thereof. Interest on the Bonds shall cease to accrue upon receipt by the Trustee of funds drawn under the Credit Facility. (b) Immediately after any acceleration because of the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 901(a), (b), (d), (e), (f) or (g), the Trustee shall (immediately, and in no event within two Business Days thereafter) notify in writing the Issuer, the Company and the Credit Facility Issuer of the occurrence of such acceleration. Within five (5) days of the occurrence of any acceleration hereunder, the Trustee shall notify by first class mail, postage prepaid, the owners of all Bonds Outstanding of the occurrence of such acceleration. (c) If, after the principal of the Bonds has become due and payable, all arrears of interest upon the Bonds are paid by the Issuer, and the Issuer also performs all other things in respect to which it may have been in default hereunder and pays the reasonable charges of the Trustee and the Bondholders, including reasonable attorneys' fees, then, and in every such case, the Credit Facility Issuer or a Majority of the Bondholders by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may annul such acceleration and its consequences, and such annulment shall be binding upon the Trustee and upon all owners of Bonds issued hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not annul any declaration without the written consent of the Credit Facility Issuer unless such acceleration has resulted from the failure of the Credit Facility Issuer to honor a proper draw for payment under the Credit Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not annul any acceleration which has resulted from an Event of Default which has resulted in a drawing under the Credit Facility under Section 901(e) hereof unless the Credit Facility has been reinstated in accordance with its terms to an amount equal to the principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding plus one hundred twenty (120) days' interest accrued thereon, and the Trustee has received written notice of such reinstatement from the Credit Facility Issuer. The Trustee shall forward a copy of any notice from Bondholders received by it pursuant to this paragraph to the Company. Immediately upon such annulment, the Trustee shall cancel, by notice to the Company, any demand for payment of the Note made by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 902. Section 903. Other Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, before or after the principal of the Bonds becomes immediately due and payable, may enforce each and every right granted to it as the owner of the Note and under the Sale Agreement and any supplements or amendments thereto. In exercising such rights and the rights given the Trustee under this Article IX, the Trustee shall take such action as, in the judgment of the Trustee applying the standards described in Section 1001 hereof, would best serve the interests of the Bondholders. Section 904. Legal Proceedings by the Trustee. (a) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee in its discretion may, and upon the written request of the Credit Facility Issuer or the owners of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds and receipt of indemnity to its satisfaction shall, in its own name: (1) By mandamus, or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, enforce all rights of the Bondholders hereunder; (2) Bring suit upon the Bonds, the Credit Facility (but only to the extent the Credit Facility Issuer shall have wrongfully dishonored drawings made in strict conformity with the terms hereof) and the Note; and (3) By action or suit in equity seek to enjoin any acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Bondholders. (b) If an Event of Default under Section 901(c) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee in its discretion may, and upon the written request of the owners of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds and receipt of indemnity to its satisfaction shall, enforce each and every right granted to it under the Sale Agreement or as owner of the Note. Section 905. Discontinuance of Proceedings by the Trustee. If any proceeding commenced by the Trustee on account of any Event of Default is discontinued or is determined adversely to the Trustee, then the Company, the Credit Facility Issuer, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bondholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder as though no proceedings had been commenced. Section 906. Credit Facility Issuer or Bondholders May Direct Proceedings. Anything to the contrary in this Indenture notwithstanding, either the Credit Facility Issuer if a Credit Facility is in effect (and no default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Facility), or a Majority of the Bondholders, if there is no Credit Facility in effect, shall have the right, after furnishing indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, to direct the method and place of conducting all remedial proceedings by the Trustee hereunder, provided that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or unduly prejudice the rights of minority Bondholders. Section 907. Limitations on Actions by the Bondholders. (a) No Bondholder shall have any right to bring suit on the Credit Facility. No Bondholder shall have any right to pursue any other remedy hereunder unless: (1) the Trustee shall have been given written notice of an Event of Default; (2) the owners of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds shall have requested the Trustee, in writing, to exercise the powers hereinabove granted or to pursue such remedy in its or their name or names; (3) the Trustee shall have been offered indemnity satisfactory to it against costs, expenses and liabilities, except that no offer of indemnification shall be required for a declaration of acceleration under Section 902 hereof or for a drawing under the Credit Facility; (4) the Trustee shall have failed to comply with such request within a reasonable time; and (5) prior to the Conversion Date, the Credit Facility Issuer has failed to honor a proper draw request under the Credit Facility. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 907 or any other provision of this Indenture, the obligation of the Issuer shall be absolute and unconditional to pay hereunder, but solely from the Revenues and other funds pledged under this Indenture, the principal or redemption price of, and interest on, the Bonds to the respective owners thereof on the respective due dates thereof, and nothing herein shall affect or impair the right of action, which is absolute and unconditional, of such owners to enforce such payment. Section 908. Trustee May Enforce Rights Without Possession of the Bonds. All rights under this Indenture and the Bonds may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any Bonds or the production thereof at the trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the ratable benefit of the owners of the Bonds. Section 909. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each remedy is in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Section 910. Delays and Omissions Not to Impair Rights. No delays or omission in respect of exercising any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair such right or power or be a waiver of such default, and every remedy given by this Article IX may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. Section 911. Application of Moneys in the Event of Default. (a) Any moneys received by the Trustee under this Article IX shall be applied in the following order; provided that any moneys received by the Trustee from a drawing under the Credit Facility shall be applied to the extent permitted by the terms thereof only as provided in paragraph (3) below with respect to the principal of, and interest accrued on, Bonds other than Bonds held by or for the Company: (1) To the payment of the reasonable costs of the Trustee, including counsel fees and any disbursements of the Trustee with interest thereon at the per annum rate equal to the "Prime" or "Base" rate of the Credit Facility Issuer; and (2) To the payment of reasonable costs and expenses of the Issuer, including counsel fees, incurred in connection with the Event of Default; and (3) To the payment of principal or redemption price (as the case may be) and interest on the Bonds, and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay the same in full, then to payment of principal or redemption price and interest ratably, without preference or priority of one over another or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest. (b) The surplus, if any, shall be paid to the Company or the person lawfully entitled to receive the same as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct; provided that, if the Trustee has received payments on the Credit Facility following the Event of Default, the surplus shall be paid to the Credit Facility Issuer to the extent of such payments to the extent the Credit Facility Issuer has not been reimbursed for such payments and its fees and expenses related thereto. Section 912. Trustee and Bondholders Entitled to All Remedies Under the Act. It is the purpose of this Article IX to provide such remedies to the Trustee and the Bondholders as may be lawfully granted under the provisions of the Act, but should any remedy herein granted be held unlawful, the Trustee and the Bondholders shall nevertheless be entitled to every remedy provided by the Act. It is further intended that, insofar as lawfully possible, the provisions of this Article shall apply to and be binding upon any trustee or receiver appointed under applicable law. Section 913. Trustee May File Claim in Bankruptcy. (a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relating to the Issuer, the Company or any other obligor upon the Sale Agreement or the Bonds or to property of the Issuer, the Company, or such other obligor or the creditors of any of them, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Bonds shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment on the Note of an amount equal to overdue principal or interest or additional interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise; (1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Bonds and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Bondholders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (2) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by the Bondholders to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Bondholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 911 hereof. (b) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept, or adopt on behalf of the Bondholders, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Bonds or the rights of any Bondholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of the Bondholders in any such proceeding. (c) All moneys received by the Trustee pursuant to any right given or action taken under this Indenture shall, after payment of the costs and expenses of the proceedings resulting in the collection of such moneys and the fees and expenses of the Trustee, be deposited in the Bond Fund and applied to the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest then due and unpaid on the Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Section 914. Receiver. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and upon the filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce the rights of the Trustee and of the Bondholders under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the amounts payable on the Note or otherwise under the Sale Agreement and assigned to the Trustee under this Indenture pending such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, whether or not any such amounts payable shall be deemed sufficient ultimately to satisfy the Bonds. ARTICLE X CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE Section 1001. Acceptance of the Trusts. The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer (for the benefit of the Company and the Bondholders as well as the Issuer) that it is a national banking association and that it is duly authorized under the laws of the United States of America to accept and execute trusts of the character herein set out. The Trustee accepts and agrees to execute the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture, but only upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Article and subject to the provisions of this Indenture including the following express terms and conditions, to all of which the parties hereto and the Bondholders agree: (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. (c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any of its duties by or through attorneys, agents, receivers or employees and it shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence of any such attorney, agent or receiver appointed by it upon due care, and shall be entitled to act upon the opinion or advice of its counsel concerning all matters of trust hereof and the duties hereunder, and may in all cases be reimbursed hereunder for reasonable compensation paid to all such attorneys, agents, receivers and employees as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trust hereof. The Trustee may conclusively rely upon an opinion of counsel and shall not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from any action or non-action by it taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in reliance upon such opinion of counsel. (d) Except as is specifically provided in Section 1019 with respect to the filing of continuation statements, the Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital herein, or in the Bonds (except in respect to the authentication certificate of the Trustee endorsed on the Bonds), or for insuring the Trust Estate or any part of the Project or collecting any insurance moneys, or for the validity of the execution hereof by the Issuer or of any supplements hereto or instruments of further assurance, or for the sufficiency of the security for the Bonds; and the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any agreements or conditions on the part of the Issuer or on the part of the Company under the Sale Agreement, except as hereinafter set forth; but the Trustee may require of the Issuer or the Company full information and advice as to the performance of the agreements and conditions aforesaid and as to the condition of the Trust Estate. (e) The Trustee shall not be liable in connection with the performance or non-performance of its duties under this Indenture except for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: (1) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section 1001; (2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (3) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of a Majority of the Bondholders relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture. (f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee, including without limitation Sections 1003 and 1004 hereof, shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 1001. Section 1002. Trustee to Give Notice. (a) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default hereunder, except failure by the Issuer to cause to be made any of the payments to the Trustee required to be made by Article V or failure by the Issuer or the Company to file with the Trustee any document required by this Indenture or the Sale Agreement to be so filed, unless the Trustee shall be notified of such default by the Issuer or by the holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding or unless a responsible corporate trust officer of the Trustee charged with the responsibility for the management of the trusts conferred by this Indenture shall have actual knowledge of such default. (b) If a responsible trust officer of the Trustee charged with the responsibility for the management of the trusts conferred by this Indenture shall have actual knowledge of any Event of Default continuing hereunder, the Trustee shall give to all Bondholders and to the Credit Facility Issuer written notice of all such defaults within thirty (30) days after receipt of such information. (c) Promptly upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Company, the Issuer, the Bondholders and former Bondholders and to the Credit Facility Issuer.

(a) The Company shall indemnify the Trustee its officers, directors and employees against any loss, liability or expense incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, except as set forth in subsection (b) below. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Except where the Company is the claimant, the Company shall have full and sole right to defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. If the Trustee engages separate counsel, the Trustee shall pay all fees and expenses of such counsel and the Company shall no longer have the obligation to indemnify the Trustee; provided, however that the Trustee shall have the right to retain separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, if representation of the Trustee would be inappropriate due to an actual conflict of interest, as reasonably determined by either party, between the Trustee and the Company. The Company shall not be responsible for any settlement reached without the Company's consent. (b) The Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any expense or to indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. (c) To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the lien of the Trustee for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except for amounts drawn under the Credit Facility [and money and property held in the Rebate Fund], as to which the Trustee shall have no such lien. Such obligations shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. (d) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default, the expenses and compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy law. (e) The Trustee may begin suit, or appear in and defend suit, or do anything else in its judgment proper to be done by it as such Trustee, without indemnity under paragraph (a) above, and in such case the Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee from funds available therefor under the Sale Agreement for all costs and expenses, outlays and counsel fees and other reasonable disbursements properly incurred in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Trustee shall: (1) make all payments hereunder of principal and redemption price of and interest on the Bonds and of the purchase price of Bonds tendered at the option of the owners thereof or purchased by the Company in lieu of redemption, (2) accelerate the Bonds when required to do so hereunder other than at the direction of the Bondholders, and (3) draw on the Credit Facility when required to do so hereunder, each without the necessity of the Bondholders providing security or indemnity to the Trustee. If the Issuer shall fail to make reimbursement, the Trustee may reimburse itself from any moneys in its possession under the provisions of this Indenture other than moneys drawn under the Credit Facility and shall be entitled with respect thereto to a preference over the Bonds.

The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to see that any duties herein imposed upon any party other than itself, or any covenants herein contained on the part of any party other than itself to be performed, shall be done or performed, and the Trustee shall be under no liability for failure to see that any such duties or covenants are so done or performed. (b) The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible because of the failure of the Issuer or of any of its employees or agents to make any collections or deposits or to perform any act herein required of the Issuer or because of the loss of any moneys arising through the insolvency or the act or default or omission of any other depositary in which such moneys shall have been deposited under the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the application of any of the proceeds of the Bonds or any other moneys deposited with it and paid out, withdrawn or transferred hereunder if such application, payment, withdrawal or transfer shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any loss suffered in connection with any investment of funds made by it in accordance with Section 602. (c) The permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The immunities and exemptions from liability of the Trustee hereunder shall extend to its directors, officers, employees and agents. Section 1005. Compensation.

To the extent permitted by law, such institution may also receive tenders and purchase in good faith Bonds from itself, including any department, affiliate or subsidiary, with like effect as if it were not the Trustee. Section 1008. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals. The recitals, statements and representations contained herein and in the Bonds shall be taken and construed as made by and on the part of the Issuer and not by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be under any responsibility for the correctness of the same.

The following provisions of this Section 1017 are adapted to these ends: (a) In the event of the incapacity or lack of authority of the Trustee by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction to exercise any of the rights, powers and trusts herein granted to the Trustee or to hold title to or a security interest in the Trust Estate or to take any other action which may be necessary or desirable in connection therewith, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate Trustee or Co-Trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable the separate Trustee or Co-Trustee to exercise such rights, powers and trusts, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof shall run to and be enforceable by such separate Trustee or Co-Trustee. (b) Should any deed, conveyance or instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by the separate Trustee or Co-Trustee so appointed by the Trustee in order to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. In case any separate Trustee or Co-Trustee or a successor to either, shall die, be dissolved, become incapable of action, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate Trustee or Co-Trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new Trustee or successor to such separate Trustee or Co-Trustee.

Section 1019. Filing of Certain Continuation Statements.

Proof of the execution of any such instrument and of the ownership of the Bonds shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and shall be conclusive in favor of the Trustee with regard to any action taken by it under such instrument if made in the following manner: The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument may be proved by the verification of any officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws thereof, has power to take affidavits within such jurisdiction, to the effect that such instrument was subscribed and sworn to before him, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution, and where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such verification or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. (b) Nothing contained in this Section 1101 shall be construed as limiting the Trustee to such proof, it being intended that the Trustee may accept any other evidence of the matters herein stated which may be sufficient. Any request or consent of a Bondholder shall bind every future owner of the Bond(s) to which such request or consent pertains or any Bond(s) issued in lieu thereof in respect of anything done by the Trustee pursuant to such request or consent. (c) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 1101, the Trustee shall not be required to recognize any person as an owner of Bonds or to take any action at its request unless the Bonds shall be deposited with it.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a supplemental indenture under this Article XIII which in the judgment of the Credit Facility Issuer if a Credit Facility is in effect (and no default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Facility) adversely affects the rights of the Credit Facility Issuer shall not become effective unless or until the Credit Facility Issuer shall have consented to the execution and delivery thereof. Section 1304. Amendment of the Sale Agreement. (a) The Company, the Trustee and, during the Variable Rate Period, the Credit Facility Issuer if a Credit Facility is in effect (and no default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Facility), may amend the Sale Agreement; provided that prior to making any amendment, the Company shall provide the Trustee and the Credit Facility Issuer with: (1) a copy of the proposed amendment and (2) an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes and unless the Trustee shall have otherwise given its consent to such amendment or supplement, to the further effect that such amendment or supplement will not otherwise adversely affect the interests of the Bondholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee, and, during the Variable Rate Period, the Credit Facility Issuer if a Credit Facility is in effect (and no default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Facility), may amend the Sale Agreement to such extent as may be necessary to obtain a rating of the Bonds from Moody's or S&P without providing the opinion of Bond Counsel specified in paragraph (2) above.

Section 1306. Amendment of the Credit Facility. The initial Credit Facility may be amended to such extent as shall be necessary to obtain a rating of the Bonds from Moody's or S&P provided that such amendment or supplement will not adversely affect the interests of the Bondholders. The Trustee shall notify the Bondholders and the Issuer of any proposed amendment of the Credit Facility which would adversely affect the interests of the Bondholders and may consent thereto with the consent of the Issuer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and at least a Majority of the Bondholders which would be affected by the action proposed to be taken; provided, that the Trustee shall not, without the unanimous consent of the owners of all Bonds then Outstanding, consent to any amendment which would decrease the amount payable under the Credit Facility or reduce the term of the Credit Facility. Section 1307. Trustee Authorized to Join in Amendments and Supplements; Reliance on Counsel. The Trustee is authorized to join with the Issuer in the execution and delivery of any supplemental indenture or amendment permitted by this Article XIII and in so doing shall be fully protected by an opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture or amendment is so permitted and has been duly authorized by the Issuer and that all things necessary to make it a valid and binding agreement have been done; provided that certain amendments may, by agreement between the Trustee and the Credit Facility Issuer, require the prior consent of the Credit Facility Issuer. ARTICLE XIV DEFEASANCE; OTHER PAYMENTS Section 1401. Defeasance. (a) When the principal or redemption price (as the case may be) of, and interest on all Bonds issued hereunder have been paid, including without limitation the purchase price for Bonds tendered under Section 202 hereof, or provision has been made for payment of the same, together with the compensation of the Trustee and all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer, the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to the Trust Estate and the security interests shall thereupon cease, and the Trustee, on written demand of the Issuer, shall release this Indenture and the security interests and shall execute such documents to evidence such release as may be reasonably required by the Issuer and shall turn over to the Company or to such person, body or authority as may be entitled to receive the same all balances then held by it hereunder; provided, that, if any payments have been received by the Trustee from the Credit Facility in connection with such release, such balances shall be paid to the Credit Facility Issuer to the extent of such payments. If payment or provision therefor is made with respect to less than all of the Bonds, the particular Bonds (or portion thereof) for which provision for payment shall have been considered made shall be selected by lot by the Trustee and thereupon the Trustee shall take similar action for the release of this Indenture with respect to such Bonds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bonds purchased at the option of the owners thereof with moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this Article XIV shall not be remarketed but shall be cancelled by the Trustee. (b) Provision for the payment of Bonds shall be deemed to have been made when the Trustee holds in the Bond Fund, in trust and irrevocably set aside exclusively for such payment, (1) moneys sufficient to make such payment provided that if a Credit Facility is then held by the Trustee, such moneys shall constitute Available Moneys or (2) noncallable Governmental Obligations maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will provide sufficient moneys without reinvestment to make such payment; provided that the Trustee shall have received an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such deposit will not affect the exclusion of the interest on any of the Bonds from the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes (e.g. by causing any of the Bonds to be classified as an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code), and provided further, that if a Credit Facility is then held by the Trustee, such Governmental Obligations shall have been on deposit with the Trustee in a separate and segregated account for a period of three hundred sixty-seven (367) days during and prior to which no Event of Bankruptcy has occurred or which Governmental Obligations were purchased with Available Moneys. (c) No Bonds in respect of which a deposit under subsection (b) above has been made shall be deemed paid within the meaning of this Article unless the Trustee is satisfied that the amounts deposited are sufficient to make all payments that might become due on the Bonds, including purchase price payments for Bonds tendered at the option of the owners or purchased by the Company in lieu of redemption, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delivery to the Trustee under this subsection (c) shall be deemed a payment of any Bonds which are to be redeemed prior to their stated maturity until such Bonds shall have been irrevocably called or designated for redemption on a date thereafter on which such Bonds may be redeemed in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture or the Issuer shall have given the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, irrevocable instructions to give notice of redemption. Neither the obligations nor moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be segregated and held in trust for, the payment of the principal of, redemption price of, purchase price if applicable of, and interest on the Bonds with respect to which such deposit has been made. In the event that such moneys or obligations are to be applied to the payment of principal or redemption price of any Bonds more than sixty (60) days following the deposit thereof with the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail a notice stating that such moneys or obligations have been deposited and identifying the Bonds for the payment of which such moneys or obligations are being held to all owners of such Bonds at their addresses shown on the Bond Register. (d) Anything in Article XIV to the contrary notwithstanding, if moneys or Governmental Obligations have been deposited or set aside with the Trustee pursuant to this Article for the payment of the principal or redemption price, including purchase price if applicable, of the Bonds and the interest thereon and the principal or redemption price, including purchase price if applicable, of such Bonds and such moneys or Governmental Obligations do not constitute Available Moneys, no amendment to the provisions of this Article shall be made without the consent of the owner of each of the Bonds affected thereby. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, those provisions relating to the purchase of Bonds upon the demand of any Bondholders, the maturity of Bonds, interest payments and dates thereof, and the dates, premiums and notice requirements for optional and mandatory redemption or purchase and the Trustee's remedies with respect thereto, and provisions relating to exchange, transfer and registration of Bonds, replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds, the safekeeping and cancellation of Bonds, non-presentment of Bonds, the holding of moneys in trust and repayments to the Company or the Credit Facility Issuer from the Bond Fund and the duties of the Trustee in connection with all of the foregoing and the fees, expenses and indemnities of the Trustee, shall remain in effect and shall be binding upon the Trustee, the Issuer, the Company and the Bondholders notwithstanding the release and discharge of the lien of this Indenture until payment in full of all outstanding Bonds. Section 1402. Deposit of Funds for Payment of the Bonds. If the principal or redemption price of any Bonds become due, either at maturity or by call for redemption or otherwise, together with all interest accruing thereon to the due date, has been paid or provision therefor made in accordance with Section 1401 hereof, all interest on such Bonds shall cease to accrue on the due date and all liability of the Issuer with respect to such Bonds shall likewise cease, except as hereinafter provided. Thereafter the owners of such Bonds shall be restricted exclusively to the funds so deposited for any claim of whatsoever nature with respect to such Bonds, and the Trustee shall hold such funds in trust for such owners. Section 1403. Effect of Purchase of the Bonds. No purchase of Bonds pursuant to Section 303 hereof shall be deemed to be a payment or redemption of such Bonds or any portion thereof and such purchase will not operate to extinguish or discharge the indebtedness evidenced by such Bonds.
