The Borrower agrees that during the term of this Agreement, the Collateral Property shall be operated and maintained in substantial compliance with all governmental laws, building codes, ordinances, regulations and zoning laws as shall be applicable to the Collateral Property. The Borrowers agree that during the term of this Agreement, they will at their own expense: (a) keep the Collateral Property in as reasonably safe condition as its operations permit; and (b) except to the extent the Borrowers have determined that any portion of the Collateral Property is not useful in its operations, keep the Collateral Property in good repair and in good operating condition, making from time to time all necessary repairs thereto (including external and structural repairs) and renewals and replacements thereof. The Borrowers may, also at their own expense, make from time to time any additions, modifications or improvements to the Collateral Property they may deem desirable for their purposes.

Section 6.2. Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges. The Borrower will pay promptly, as the same become due: (a) all taxes and governmental charges of any kind whatsoever that may at any time be lawfully assessed or levied against or with respect to the Property or any interest therein, or any machinery, equipment or other property installed or brought by the Borrower therein or thereon; (b) all utility and other charges incurred in the operation, maintenance, use, occupancy and upkeep of the Property; and (c) all assessments and charges lawfully made by any governmental body for public improvements; provided that with respect to special assessments or other governmental charges that may lawfully be paid in installments over a period of years, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay only such installments as may have become due during the term of this Agreement.

The Borrowers may, at their expense, in good faith contest any such taxes, assessments and other charges and, in the event of any such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments or other charges contested to remain unpaid during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom.

Section 6.3. Insurance Required. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall keep the Collateral Property continuously insured against the following risks, paying as the same become due and payable all premiums with respect thereto:

(a) insurance against loss or damage to the Property by all perils, with uniform standard extended coverage endorsement limited only as may be provided in the standard form of extended coverage endorsement at the time in use in the State, to such extent as is necessary to provide for the full insurable value, but with deductible clauses in such amounts as are customary for facilities of similar size and character within the State;

(b) comprehensive general accident and public liability insurance (including coverage for all losses arising from the ownership or use of any vehicle) providing coverage limits (including deductible clauses) of not less than the coverage limits customarily carried by owners or operators of facilities of similar size and character within the State;

(c) fidelity insurance or bonds on those of its officers and employees who handle funds of the Borrower, both in such amounts and to such extent as are customarily carried by organizations similar to the Borrower and operating properties similar in size and character to the facilities of the Borrower; and

(d) workers’ compensation insurance, disability benefits insurance and such other forms of insurance as the Borrower is required by law to provide with respect to the Property.

The insurance policies required by this Section may be evidenced by individual policies or by an umbrella policy. At least every three years from July 1, 2022, the Borrower shall employ, at its expense, an Insurance Consultant to review the insurance coverage required by this Section and to render to the Borrower and the Trustee a report as to the adequacy of such coverage and as to its recommendations, if any, for adjustments thereto. The insurance coverage provided by this Section may be reduced or otherwise adjusted by the Borrower without the consent of the Trustee; provided that all coverages after such reduction or other adjustment are certified by the Insurance Consultant to be adequate and appropriate for facilities of like size and type, taking into account the availability of such insurance, the terms upon which such insurance is available, the cost of such available insurance and the effect of such terms and such cost upon the Borrower’s costs and charges for its services.

If as a result of such review, the Insurance Consultant finds that the existing coverage is inadequate, taking into account the availability of such insurance, the terms upon which such insurance is available, the cost of such available insurance and the effect of such terms and such cost upon the Borrowers’ costs and charges for its services, then the insurance coverage provided by this Section shall be increased or otherwise adjusted by the Borrowers. The insurance coverage required by this Section, and modification thereof permitted or required by this paragraph, shall at all times be adequate and appropriate for facilities of like size and type, taking into account the Borrowers’ particular circumstances, and the Insurance Consultant shall so certify in the report required by the above-insured for all or any part of the foregoing requirements if the Borrowers have received a written evaluation with respect to such self-insurance programs from an Insurance

Consultant stating that such self-insurance is consistent with sound risk management policies. The Borrowers shall pay any fees charged by such Insurance Consultant. Any self-insurance of the Borrowers existing on the date of execution of this Agreement may continue without evidence of compliance with the above requirements unless the periodic report of the Insurance Consultant required by this Section states that such self-insurance is not consistent with sound risk management.

The Borrowers shall deliver to the Trustee: (a) upon the commencement of the term of this Agreement, the originals or certified copies thereof of all insurance policies (or certificates of insurance with respect thereto) which the Borrowers are required to maintain pursuant to this Section, together with evidence as to the payment of all premiums then due thereon; (b) at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policies evidence as to the renewal thereof, if then required by this Section, and the payment of all premiums then due with respect thereto; and (c) promptly upon request by the Trustee, but in any case within ninety (90) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, a certificate of an Authorized Representative of the Borrower setting forth the particulars as to all insurance policies maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Section and certifying that such insurance policies are in full force and effect, that such policies comply with the provisions of this Section and that all premiums then due thereon have been paid.

All insurance policies required by this Section 6.3 shall name the Trustee as an additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, and shall provide that no such policy may be terminated without thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Trustee.

Delivery of reports, recommendations, certificates and other documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.3 is for safe keeping purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not imply a duty on the part of the Trustee to review, evaluate or analyze the information contained therein.

Section 6.4. Application of Net Proceeds of Insurance. The Net Proceeds of the insurance carried pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 6.3 hereof shall be applied as provided in Section 7.1 hereof. The Net Proceeds of insurance carried pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (d) of Section 6.3 hereof shall be applied toward extinguishment or satisfaction of the liability with respect to which such insurance proceeds have been paid. The Net Proceeds of the fidelity insurance carried pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 6.3 hereof shall be held by the Borrower to replace the funds lost.

Section 6.5. Advances by Trustee. In the event the Borrowers shall fail to maintain the full insurance coverage required by this Agreement or shall fail to keep the Collateral Property in as reasonably safe condition as its operating condition will permit, or shall fail to keep the Collateral Property in good repair and good operating condition (except as otherwise herein permitted), the Trustee may (but shall be under no obligation to) take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same, or make the required repairs, renewals and replacements. All amounts advanced therefor by the Trustee shall become an additional obligation of the Borrower to the Trustee, which amounts the Borrower agrees to pay on demand together with interest thereon at the Late Payment Rate or the maximum rate permitted by law if less than such rate.

ARTICLE 7

DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION

Section 7.1. Damage and Destruction. Unless the Borrowers shall have exercised their option to prepay the Loan in full pursuant to Article 11 hereof, if the Collateral Property is destroyed or damaged (in whole or in part) by fire or other casualty, the Borrower Representative shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Trustee. All Net Proceeds of insurance shall, as determined by the Trustee if directed by the Majority Bondholder, either be used to redeem Bonds or be held by the Borrowers in a separate trust account, whereupon: (a) the Borrowers will promptly repair, rebuild or restore the property damaged or destroyed to substantially the same condition as it existed prior to such damage or destruction, with such changes, alterations and modifications (including the substitution and addition of other property) as may be desired by the Borrowers and as will not impair the Borrowers’ ability to operate the Collateral Property in an efficient manner; and (b) the Borrowers will apply so much as may be necessary of the Net Proceeds of such insurance to payment of the costs of such repair, rebuilding or restoration as the work progresses. Any balance of such Net Proceeds remaining after payment of all the costs of such repair, rebuilding or restoration shall be applied on a pro rata basis to redeem Bonds and pay Additional Parity Indebtedness. The portion of any such balance to be used to redeem Bonds shall be transferred to the Bond Principal Fund and applied to the payment of principal of the Bonds. In the event such Net Proceeds are not sufficient to pay in full the costs of such repair, rebuilding or restoration, the Borrower will nonetheless complete the work thereof and will pay any costs thereof in excess of the amount of such Net Proceeds. The Borrowers shall not by reason of the payment of such excess costs be entitled to any reimbursement from the County, the Trustee or the owners of the Bonds or any postponement, abatement or diminution of the Loan Payments and other payments required to be made under this Agreement.

Section 7.2. Condemnation. Unless the Borrowers shall have exercised their option to prepay the Loan in full pursuant to Article 11 hereof, in the event that title to, or the temporary use of, the Collateral Property or any part thereof shall be taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain, the Borrowers shall be obligated to continue to make the Loan Payments and other payments required to be made under this Agreement. In the event that the Net Proceeds from any award made in such eminent domain proceedings is less than $500,000, all of such Net Proceeds shall be paid to the Borrowers and shall be held or used by the Borrowers for such purposes as the Borrower Representative, in its discretion, may deem appropriate. In the event that the Net Proceeds from any award made in such eminent domain proceedings is $500,000 or more, all of such Net Proceeds shall be paid to and held by the Borrowers in a separate trust account for the equal benefit of the Bondholders and holders of Additional Parity Indebtedness, to be applied to one or more of the following purposes as shall be directed by the Borrower Representative:

(a) The restoration of the Collateral Property to substantially the same condition as it existed prior to such condemnation.

(b) The acquisition, by construction or otherwise, of other improvements suitable for operation of firefighting activities.

(c) The redemption of the Bonds and payment of Additional Parity Indebtedness on a pro rata basis in proportion to the Outstanding principal amounts thereof; provided that such condemnation award may be applied for such redemption and payment only if (i) all Net Proceeds of such award shall be so applied; and (ii) all of the Bonds are to be redeemed in accordance with the Indenture upon exercise of the option to prepay the Loan in full provided for in Article 11 hereof and all of the Additional Parity Indebtedness is to be paid; or in the event that less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed and less than all Additional Parity Indebtedness is to be paid, the Borrower Representative shall furnish to the Trustee a written certificate stating (A) that the Collateral Property taken by such condemnation proceedings is not essential to the Borrower’s use or occupancy of the Collateral Property; (B) that the Collateral Property taken by such condemnation has been restored to a condition substantially equivalent to its condition prior to the taking by such condemnation proceedings; or (C) that improvements have been acquired which are suitable for operation as firefighting facilities.

In the event the Borrower Representative elects either of the options set forth in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, the Borrowers will apply so much as may be necessary of the Net Proceeds of such condemnation award to payment of the costs of such restoration, acquisition or construction, as the work progresses.

In the event the Borrower Representative elects either of the options set forth in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and the Net Proceeds received from eminent domain are insufficient to pay in full the cost of restoring, acquiring or constructing improvements of substantially the same condition as the Collateral Property prior to the taking, the Borrowers will nonetheless complete the work thereof and will pay any costs thereof in excess of such Net Proceeds. The Borrowers shall not by reason of the payment of such excess costs be entitled to any reimbursement from the County, the Trustee or the owners of the Bonds or any postponement, abatement or diminution of the Loan Payments and other payments required to be made under this Agreement.

Unless the Borrower Representative has exercised the Borrowers’ option to prepay the Loan in full pursuant to Article 11 hereof, within 90 days from the date of a final order in any eminent domain proceeding granting condemnation, the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall direct the Trustee in writing which of the ways specified in this Section the Borrowers elect to have applied the Net Proceeds of the condemnation award. Any balance of the Net Proceeds of the award in such eminent domain proceedings remaining after payment of all the costs of such restoration, acquisition and construction shall be applied to redeem Bonds and pay Additional Parity Indebtedness on a pro rata basis in proportion to the Outstanding principal amounts thereof. The portion of any such balance to be used to redeem Bonds shall be transferred to the Bond Principal Fund and applied to the payment of the principal of the Bonds.

Section 7.3. Borrowers Entitled to Certain Net Proceeds. The Borrowers shall be entitled to the Net Proceeds of any insurance payment or condemnation award or portion thereof attributable to damage or destruction or takings of their Property that is not included in the Collateral Property; provided that any such funds shall constitute Gross Revenues.

Section 7.4. No Change in Loan Payments.

Section 10.2. Remedies on Default. Whenever any event of default referred to in Section 10.1 hereof shall have occurred and is continuing, the County, or the Trustee where so provided herein, may take any one or more of the following remedial steps:

(a) The Trustee (acting as assignee of the County) or the County (in the event of a failure of the Trustee to act under this paragraph unless the Trustee has been so directed by the Majority Bondholder), as and to the extent provided in the Indenture, may declare the Loan Payments payable hereunder for the remainder of the term of this Agreement to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become due and payable.

(b) The Trustee may take any action permitted under the Indenture with respect to an Event of Default thereunder.

(c) The Trustee (acting as assignee of the County) or the County (in the event of a failure of the Trustee to act under this paragraph unless the Trustee has been so directed by the Majority Bondholder), as and to the extent provided in the Indenture, may take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable to collect the amounts then due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance or observance of any obligations, agreements or covenants of the Borrower under this Agreement.

Whenever any event of default referred to in Section 10.1(D) or Section 10.1(E) hereof shall have occurred and is continuing, and the Borrower or BAG Holdings, as applicable, elects to repay such defaulted Indebtedness or Additional Parity Indebtedness, the Majority Bondholder

may direct the Trustee to call all of the Series 2022 Bonds for redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of each Series 2022 Bond redeemed plus any then-applicable premium and accrued interest to the redemption date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the exercise by the County or the Trustee of any remedy that would prevent the application of this paragraph, the Borrower may, at any time, pay all accrued payments hereunder (exclusive of any such payments accrued solely by virtue of declaration pursuant to Section 10.2(a)) and fully cure all defaults, and in such event, the Borrower shall be fully reinstated to its position hereunder as if such event of default had never occurred.

In the event that the Borrower fails to make any payment required hereby, the payment so in default shall continue as an obligation of the Borrower until the amount in default shall have been fully paid.

Any proceeds received by the County or the Trustee from the exercise of any of the above remedies, after reimbursement of any costs incurred by the County or the Trustee in connection therewith, shall be applied by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

If the County or the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce their rights under this Agreement and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the County or the Trustee, then and in every such case, the Borrower, the County and the Trustee shall be restored to their respective positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Borrower, the County and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 10.3. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the County or the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission in exercising any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the County to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than notice required herein or by applicable law. Such rights and remedies given the County hereunder shall also extend to the Trustee and the owners of the Bonds, subject to the Indenture.

Section 10.4. Agreement To Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. In the event the Borrower should breach any of the provisions of this Agreement and the County or the Trustee should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of Loan Payments or the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Borrower herein contained, the Borrower agrees that it will on demand therefor pay to the County or the Trustee, as the case may be, the reasonable fee of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses incurred by the County or the Trustee. The obligations of the Borrower arising under this Section shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the final payment of the Bonds or the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Section 10.5. Waiver. In the event any agreement contained in this Agreement should be breached by any party and thereafter waived by any other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder. In view of the assignment of the County’s rights in and under this Agreement to the Trustee under the Indenture, the County shall have no power to waive any event of default hereunder without the consent of the Trustee.
