in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), Pledgor pledged,
hypothecated, assigned, transferred, set over, and delivered and hereby pledges,
hypothecates, assigns, transfers, sets over, and delivers unto Surety, and
granted and hereby grants Surety a lien upon and continuing security interest in
cash in the aggregate amount of Seventeen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($17,500,000), and all interest, earnings, and other returns thereon ("the
Pledged Collateral"). Pledgor previously delivered such Pledged Collateral to
Surety pursuant to the Original Pledge Agreement. It was and is the intention of
the parties to create a presently existing security interest which attaches
immediately upon execution of this Agreement. Pledgor hereby confirms and
acknowledges that it grants a lien and continuing security interest to Surety in

segregated from all other cash of Surety, or cash held by Surety, and Surety
will not commingle such Pledged Collateral with any other cash.
In consideration of the delivery of the cash portion of the Pledged
Collateral to Surety, Surety issued the Bonds described on the attached Exhibit
A and will consider requests for the issuance of new bid and other Bonds.
However, the issuance of any additional Bonds will be made subject to the
provisions of this Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement.
Pledgors will have the right at any time to deliver to Surety letters of
credit in substitution for all or a portion of the cash that is Pledged
Collateral. Any such letter of credit must be in the form acceptable in Surety's
sole and absolute discretion and issued by a financial
5
institution reasonably acceptable in Surety's sole and absolute discretion, but
in any event will be consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and be in the
face amount of the cash for which it is being substituted. Upon receipt of such
letter of credit, Surety will promptly release cash constituting Pledged
Collateral in an amount equal to the face amount of said letter of credit and do
the following at Pledgor's expense as reasonably requested by Pledgor: (i)
return such cash to Pledgor and (ii) execute documentation evidencing the
release of such cash from the liens of this Agreement.

to enter into the Underwriting Agreement; said Underwriting Agreement sets forth
the underwriting provisions and requirements for the consideration of any
issuance of Bonds.
4. Representations and Warranties. Pledgor hereby represents, warrants,
and covenants to Surety:
(a) Immediately prior to the delivery of the Pledged Collateral to
Surety, Pledgor was the sole, legal, and equitable owner of the Pledged
Collateral, and Pledgor's absolute title thereto is not the subject of any claim
or challenge threatened or asserted by any third party;
(b) The pledge of collateral provided in Section 2 and the
performance of the terms of this Agreement do not violate any covenant, security
agreement, or other rights of any third party including, but not limited to, any
third party lender or creditor;
(c) Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that Surety would not consider
issuing Bonds but for Pledgor's execution of this Agreement and delivery of the
Pledged Collateral;
(d) This Agreement and the delivery of the Pledged Collateral
provides Surety with a valid pledge of, and a valid first priority security
interest in, the Pledged Collateral;
(e) Pledgor will not, after the date hereof, create any Lien to be
reached by any judicial process relating to the Pledged Collateral;
(f) Pledgor will pay and discharge promptly all taxes,
assessments, and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it, its income, or
the Pledged Collateral, as well as all judgment liens, which, if unpaid might
constitute a Lien or charge upon the Pledged Collateral;
(g) Pledgor will give Surety full and prompt written notice of any
proceeding, and of any judgment, order, or decree entered against the Pledged
Collateral, in or by any court or governmental authority;
(h) Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that Surety will have no
obligation to issue future bonds, renew existing bonds, or otherwise extend
surety credit except as expressly provided in the Underwriting Agreement;

Code; Pledgor acknowledges that any such filing would be a fundamental change in
circumstances; and

was delivered to Surety for "new value," within the meaning of the Bankruptcy
Code, including, but not limited to, Sections 547(a)(2) and 547(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code, given to Pledgor in the form of Bonds.
5. Bankruptcy Court Approval. In the event any Pledgor or Indemnitor
files for relief under the Bankruptcy Code and Surety determines that it is
necessary or desirable that bankruptcy court approval be obtained with respect
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder, subject to
compliance with law and any applicable orders of the bankruptcy court, trustee,
receiver or equivalent Person, Pledgor will use its reasonable best efforts to
obtain a court order which, among other things, (i) determines that this
Agreement (and any other Surety Credit Documents entered into by Pledgor with
Surety) was proposed by Surety in good faith and should be approved; (ii)
determines that Surety is a creditor who gave "new value" and entered into a
"contemporaneous exchange for value" with Pledgors as contemplated by the
Bankruptcy Code, including, but not limited to, Sections 547(a)(2) and 547(c) of
the Bankruptcy Code, when entering into this Agreement (and any other documents
entered into by Pledgor with Surety) and that the transfers made by Pledgors do
not constitute preferences under the provisions of Section 547 of the Bankruptcy
Code; (iii) authorizes and directs Pledgor to ratify this Agreement (and any
other Surety Credit Documents entered into by Pledgor with Surety); (iv)
authorizes and directs Pledgor, to execute, deliver, perform under, consummate,
and implement, this Agreement, together with all additional instruments and
documents that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to implement the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement; (v) authorizes claims and recourse
by Surety against the Pledged Collateral for any reason set forth in this
Agreement (and any other documents entered into by Pledgor or any of Indemnitors
with Surety); and (vi) approves any post petition security interest, as provided
in Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code. The provisions of this Section 5 will
apply regardless of whether Pledgor is a debtor in the bankruptcy cases.
In such event, and at the request of Surety, Pledgor will promptly make
any filings, take all actions, and use their respective best efforts to obtain
any and all other approvals and orders necessary or appropriate for consummation
of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, subject to their obligations
to comply with any order of any bankruptcy court.
In the event an appeal is taken, or a stay pending appeal is requested,
from any order entered in any bankruptcy proceeding, Pledgor will immediately
notify Surety of such appeal or stay request and will provide to Surety within
one business day a copy of the related notice of appeal or order of stay.
Pledgors will also provide Surety with written notice of any motion or
application filed in connection with any appeal from either of such orders.
Pledgor will cooperate in providing such information and evidence as is
necessary to obtain the orders described in this Section 5.
7
6. Additional Security. This Agreement will not impair or prejudice the
right of Surety to enforce collection of any Indebtedness or any amount due
under the Indemnity Agreement or any of the other Surety Credit Documents when
due and payable, by suit or in any lawful manner or to resort to any other
security for the payment thereof. This Agreement is additional, cumulative, and
concurrent security for the payment and performance of the Indebtedness. The
enumeration of certain rights, privileges, and options in this Agreement for the
benefit of Surety is not and will not be construed to waive or impair in any way
other rights of Surety and its successors or assigns concerning any security for
the Indebtedness. Surety, its respective successors and assigns, will have the
right to proceed against the Pledged Collateral and to proceed against all
security at the same time or against individually pledged or liened assets from
time-to-time at the sole election of Surety. No action against any specific
security will be a bar to any subsequent action or actions against the same or
any other security.
7. Amendments to this Agreement, Etc. Pledgor agrees and consents that,

compliance with any term, covenant, or condition on its part to be performed or
complied with in respect to the Indebtedness may be extended or such performance

amended at any time by the parties to said documents and in accordance with said

creditor of Pledgor, Principal, or any Indemnitors will be entitled to require
Surety to marshal assets; and
(f) Surety may, in its sole discretion, release any collateral
securing the Indebtedness or release any party liable therefor; all without
affecting this Agreement or the obligations of Pledgor hereunder, which will

(a) Subject to Pledgor's right to substitute letters of credit for

in exercising, any right, power, or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver
thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or
remedy by Surety preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power, or remedy. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, the parties agree that with respect to all funds due or to
become due under the Bonded Contracts nothing herein will waive, impair, or
limit any right, power, or remedy of Surety under any of the Surety Credit
