Notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default and request for disbursement of amounts on deposit in the Reimbursement Account or a waiver of the Event of Default under this Section 6.4 shall be made by an authorized officer of Prudential in writing to the Trustee, with a copy to the Borrower and the Issuer; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything is this Agreement to the contrary, only the principal and interest, and Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, on the Project Bonds, but excluding any other Obligations, shall be secured by and payable from the Pledged TIF Revenues.

Section 6.5 Balance of Reimbursement Account upon Redemption in Full of Project Bonds. Except as provided in Sections 6.2 and 6.4 hereof, upon redemption and payment in full of the Project Bonds and payment in full of any other interest (but in no event at a rate in excess of the Interest Rate or Default Rate, as applicable) or other Obligations due, any moneys remaining on deposit in the Reimbursement Account maintained by the Trustee shall be paid and transferred to the Borrower to the extent the total of all payments of principal and interest, and Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, on the Project Bonds has exceeded the total of the Pledged TIF Revenues paid to the Borrower or to the Holders. Conversely, if the total of the Pledged TIF Revenues shall have exceeded the total of all payments of principal and interest, and Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, paid by the Borrower to the Holders of the Project Bonds, then such excess on deposit in the Reimbursement Account shall be paid and transferred by the Trustee to the Issuer for the benefit of the Redevelopment Commission.

Section 7.6.3. Transfer. The transfer of any Project Bond issued pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be registered only upon the books kept for the registration and registration of transfer of Project Bonds upon surrender thereof to the Registrar together with an assignment duly executed by the Holder or his legal representative in the form provided with the Project Bonds attached hereto. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Project Bond at the principal office of the Borrower as Registrar, the Borrower shall, at its expense, request and cause the Issuer to execute and deliver one or more new Project Bonds of like tenor and of a like aggregate principal amount, registered in the name of such Transferee or Transferees. At the option of the Holder of any Project Bond, such Project Bond may be exchanged for other Project Bonds of like tenor and of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Project Bond to be exchanged at the principal office of the Borrower as Registrar. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Project Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Sections 2.7.1 and 2.7.2 hereof.

Each installment of principal payable on each Interest Payment Date upon each new Project Bond issued upon any such transfer or exchange shall be in the same proportion to the unpaid principal amount of such new Project Bond as the installment of principal payable on such date on the Project Bond surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange bore to the unpaid principal amount of such Project Bond. No reference need be made in any such new Project Bond to any installment or installments of principal previously due and paid upon the Project Bond surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. Every Project Bond surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed, by the Holder of such Project Bond or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.

The Issuer or the Registrar may make a charge to the Borrower for every such exchange or registration of transfer of Project Bonds sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or registration of transfer, and such charge shall be paid before any such new Project Bond shall be delivered. Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar shall be required to make any such exchange or registration of transfer of Project Bonds during the fifteen (15) days immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date on the Project Bonds, or, in the case of any proposed redemption of Project Bonds, during the fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the selection of Project Bonds for such redemption or after such Project Bonds or any portion thereof have been selected for redemption.

Section 7.6.6. Ownership. As to any Project Bond, the Person in whose name the same shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment on account of the principal of, interest on and any Yield Maintenance Amount payable with respect to such Project Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the Holder thereof or his legal representative.

(d) The indemnity set forth herein shall be in addition to any other Obligations of Borrower to the Holders or amounts due hereunder to the Issuer or at common law or otherwise, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and the payment of all Obligations.

Section 11.17. Payment of Expenses of Issuance of Project Bonds. Borrower shall be liable for and pay for all Issuance Costs in connection with the Project Notes and corresponding Project Bonds and other costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, any recording expenses, escrow and title insurance costs, reasonable legal fees, printing expenses and other fees and expenses incurred or to be incurred by or on behalf of the Issuer and the Holders in connection with or as an incident to the issuance, sale and purchase of the Project Bonds, or upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder.

THE HOLDERS AND THE BORROWER, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF EITHER OF THEM.
