The Company agrees that if after exhaustion of the moneys in the Construction Fund the Company should pay, or deposit moneys in the Construction Fund for the payment of any portion of the Cost of the Project pursuant to the provisions of this Section, it shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from the Issuer or from the Trustee or from the owners of any of the Bonds, nor shall it be entitled to any diminution of the loan repayment installments or other amounts payable under Section 4.1 hereof.

Section 3.7.

Special Arbitrage Certifications . Prior to the issuance of the Bonds, the Issuer and the Company will certify as to facts establishing their reasonable expectation that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be classified as “arbitrage bonds” under Section 148(a) of the Code and regulations prescribed under that Section. Any officer of the Issuer having responsibility for issuing the Bonds is authorized and directed, alone or in conjunction with any other officer, employee, consultant or agent of the Issuer or any officer of the Company, to give an appropriate certificate of the Issuer, for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings for the Bonds, setting forth the reasonable expectations of the Issuer regarding the amount and use of such proceeds and the facts and estimates on which such expectations are based, such certificate to be premised on the reasonable expectations of the Company and the facts and estimates on which they are based as certified by the Company, all as of the date of delivery of and payment for the Bonds pursuant to said Section 148(a) and Regulations thereunder. To the best knowledge and belief of the Company, there are no facts or circumstances that would materially change the foregoing conclusion. The Issuer hereby

-12-

certifies to the Company that it has not been notified of any listing or proposed listing of it by the Internal Revenue Service as a bond issuer whose arbitrage certifications may not be relied upon.

The Issuer (based on representations and warranties of the Company and the actions of the Company in conformity therewith) and the Company jointly and severally covenant with all purchasers and owners of the Bonds from time to time outstanding that so long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding, moneys on deposit in any fund or account in connection with the Bonds, whether or not such moneys were derived from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or from any other sources, will not be used in a manner which will cause the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code, and any lawful Regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder, including Treas. Reg. §§1.103-13 through 1.103-15 and Section 1.103-15 AT (26 CFR Part 1) as the same exist on this date, or may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented or revised.

LOAN AND PROVISIONS FOR PAYMENT

Section 4.1.

The Loan. In order to finance the Cost of the Project and fund the Debt Service Reserve Fund, the Issuer hereby agrees to loan the proceeds received from the sale of the Bonds to the Company. Such proceeds shall be disbursed and applied in accordance with Article III hereof. To repay the loan from the Issuer, on or before each date provided in or pursuant to the Indenture for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and/or interest on the Bonds, until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall have been fully paid or provision for the payment thereof shall have been made in accordance with the Indenture, the Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee in federal or other immediately available funds at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund, a sum equal to the amount payable on such date as principal (whether at maturity, or upon redemption or acceleration), premium, if any, and interest upon the Bonds as provided in the Indenture; provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to make any such payment shall be reduced by the amount of moneys on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account on any date when capitalized interest is due and payable on the Bonds and available to pay such interest and moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund on any such date and available to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds on such date (excluding moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund for the payment of past due principal of or premium, if any, or interest on Bonds in cases where Bonds have not been presented for payment or interest checks have not been cashed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any date on which the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on Bonds is due, the Trustee shall not have sufficient moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund and available therefor to make each such payment in full, the Trustee shall transfer moneys from the Debt Service Reserve Fund to the Bond Fund as provided in Section 514 of the Indenture.

If funds are withdrawn from the Debt Service Reserve Fund and such withdrawal reduces the amount on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund to less than the Debt Service Reserve Fund Requirement, the Company covenants to restore such deficiency by making monthly

-13-

deposits to the Debt Service Reserve Fund, commencing as of the first day of the month following such withdrawal, in an amount not less than the amount sufficient to restore such deficiency in twelve equal monthly installments. If on any date on which investments in the Debt Service Reserve Fund are required to be valued pursuant to Section 514 of the Indenture, the amount on deposit therein shall be less than the Debt Service Reserve Fund Requirement, the Company shall reimburse the Debt Service Reserve Fund for such difference by depositing an amount sufficient to restore the amount on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund to 100% of the Debt Service Reserve Fund Requirement within 60 days of such valuation date.

Each payment made pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be made during normal banking hours. In the event the Company should fail to make any of the payments required in this Section 4.1 and there are not sufficient moneys in the Debt Service Reserve Fund to transfer to the Bond Fund for such payment, the item or installment so in default shall continue as an obligation of the Company until the amount in default shall have been fully paid, and the Company agrees to pay the same with interest thereon to the extent permitted by law at the rate of interest borne by the Bonds from the due date thereof until paid.

Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to release the Issuer from the performance of any of the agreements on its part herein contained; and in the event the Issuer shall fail to perform any such agreement on its part, the Company may institute such action against the Issuer as the Company may deem necessary to compel performance or recover damages for nonperformance provided that no such action shall (i) violate the agreements on the part of the Company contained in the first sentence of this Section 4.2 or (ii) diminish the payments and other amounts required to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof.

Section 4.3.

Payments Pledged . It is understood and agreed that all payments made by the Company hereunder (except those made under Sections 5.4, 5.11 and 6.4 hereof) are assigned to the Trustee by the Indenture. The Company assents to such assignment and hereby agrees that its obligation to make such payments shall be absolute and shall not be subject to any defense or

-14-

any right of set-off, counterclaim or recoupment arising out of any breach by the Issuer of any obligation to the Company, whether hereunder or otherwise, or out of any indebtedness or liability at any time owing to the Company by the Issuer. The Indenture has been submitted to the Company for examination, and the Company acknowledges, by execution of this Agreement, that it has approved the Indenture and hereby consents to the pledge and assignment therein made by the Issuer to the Trustee as security for payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The Issuer agrees to perform and observe all of its agreements in the Indenture and the Bonds.

To further secure the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, and the performance of all the other covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement, the Company does hereby grant to the Issuer a security interest in the Company’s right, title and interest, if any, in any and all moneys and securities from time to time on deposit in the Bond Fund, the Construction Fund, the Debt Service Reserve Fund and any other fund or account established under the Indenture, together with all income thereon and proceeds thereof and all substitutions and additions thereto.

Section 4.4.

Payment of Trustee and Paying Agent Expenses . In addition to its obligations under Section 4.1 hereof, the Company also agrees to pay to the Trustee until the principal of and interest on the Bonds shall have been fully paid or provision for the payment thereof shall have been made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, (i) an amount equal to the annual fee of the Trustee for the Ordinary Services of the Trustee, as trustee, rendered and its Ordinary Expenses incurred under the Indenture, as and when the same become due, (ii) the reasonable fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee, as Bond Registrar and paying agent, and any other paying agent on the Bonds for acting as paying agent as provided in the Indenture, as and when the same become due, and (iii) the reasonable fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the necessary Extraordinary Services rendered by it and Extraordinary Expenses incurred by it under the Indenture, as and when the same become due.

(c)

The Issuer, without the consent of the Trustee, but only after written notice to the Trustee, may take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the Company set forth herein.

-24-

Section 6.3.

No Remedy Exclusive . No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Issuer 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 to exercise 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 and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Issuer to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required. Such rights and remedies as are given the Issuer hereunder shall also extend to the Trustee, and the Trustee and the owners of the Bonds, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, shall be entitled to the benefit of all covenants and agreements herein contained.

Section 6.4.

Agreement to Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses . In the event the Company should default under any of the provisions of this Agreement and the Issuer or the Trustee should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of the amount due on the Bonds or the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Company herein contained, the Company agrees that it will on demand therefor pay to the Trustee, the Issuer or, if so directed by the Issuer, to the attorneys for the Issuer the reasonable fee of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Trustee. If any such expenses are not so reimbursed, the amount thereof, together with interest thereon from the date of demand for payment at the rate of interest borne by the Bonds, shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute indebtedness secured by the Indenture and in any action brought to collect such indebtedness, the Trustee or the Issuer, as applicable, shall be entitled to seek the recovery of such expenses in such action except as limited by law or by judicial order or decision entered in such proceedings.

Section 6.5.

No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver; Consents to Waivers. In the event any agreement contained in this Agreement should be breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party making the waiver. The Issuer shall have no power to waive any default hereunder by the Company without the consent of the Trustee to such waiver.

ARTICLE VII
