“Attributable Indebtedness” when used with respect to any Sale-Leaseback Transaction, means, as at the time of determination, the present value, discounted at the rate set forth or implicit in the terms of the lease included in the transaction, of the total obligations of the lessee for rental payments, other than amounts required to be paid on account of property taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance, assessments, utilities, operating and labor costs and other items that constitute payments for property rights, during the remaining term of the lease included in the Sale-Leaseback Transaction, including any period for which the lease has been extended. In the case of any lease that is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty or other termination payment, the amount shall be the lesser of the amount determined assuming termination upon the first date the lease may be terminated, in which case the amount shall also include the amount of the penalty or termination payment, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under the lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated, or the amount determined assuming no termination.

“Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors or the protection of creditors.

“Beneficial Owner” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), such “person” will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such “person” has the right to acquire by conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition. The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” have correlative meanings. For purposes of this definition, a Person shall be deemed not to Beneficially Own securities that are the subject of a stock purchase agreement, merger agreement, amalgamation agreement, arrangement agreement or similar agreement until consummation of the transactions or, as applicable, series of related transactions contemplated thereby.

“Board of Directors” means, with respect to the Company or the Parent Guarantor, the Board of Directors of the General Partner or of the Parent Guarantor’s general partner, as the case may be, or any authorized committee of such Board of Directors.

“Capital Interests” means any and all shares, interests, participations, rights or other equivalents (however designated) of capital stock, including, without limitation, with respect to partnerships, partnership interests (whether general or limited) and any other interest or participation that confers on a Person the right to receive a share of the profits and losses of, or distributions of assets of, such partnership.

(b) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the Parent Guarantor, or the removal of (i) the General Partner by the limited partners of the Company, (ii) the general partner of the Parent Guarantor by the limited partners of the Parent Guarantor or (iii) the general partner of the Parent Guarantor’s general partner by the limited partners of the Parent Guarantor’s general partner; or

Notwithstanding the preceding, a conversion of the Company or the Parent Guarantor from a limited partnership to a corporation, limited liability company or other form of entity or an exchange of all of the outstanding limited partnership interests for capital stock in a corporation, for member interests in a limited liability company or for Equity Interests in such other form of entity shall not constitute a Change of Control, so long as following such conversion or exchange, the NuStar Group Beneficially Owns, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such entity, or continues to Beneficially Own, directly or indirectly, a sufficient percentage of Voting Stock of such entity to elect a majority of its directors, managers, trustees or other persons serving in a similar capacity for such entity.

Section 2. Unconditional Guarantees.

For value received, the Guarantors hereby fully, irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantee to the Owners and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the Company Obligations, when and as such Company Obligations shall become due and payable according to the terms of the Indenture and this Agreement. The guarantees by the Guarantors set forth in this Section 2 of Exhibit A are referred to herein as the “Guarantees.” Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantors’ liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Company Obligations and would be owed by the Company under the Agreement but for the fact that they are unenforceable, reduced, limited, impaired, suspended or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Company.

Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantees, for whatever reason, each Guarantor will be obligated (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) to pay the same immediately to the Trustee, without set-off or counterclaim or other reduction whatsoever (whether for taxes, withholding or otherwise). Each Guarantee hereunder is intended to be a general, unsecured, senior obligation of each Guarantor and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all indebtedness of such Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, its obligations hereunder shall be full, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Company Obligations, the Guarantees or this Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any party with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the Company Obligations under this Agreement, whether at the maturity, upon redemption or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Owners or, subject to Section 9.04 of the Indenture, by the Owners, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against the Guarantors to enforce the Guarantees without first proceeding against the Company.

A-6

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 2 of Exhibit A shall be as aforesaid full, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and shall not be impaired, modified, discharged, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension, indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Company or such Guarantor contained in the Indenture or this Agreement, (ii) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of the liability of the Company, such Guarantor or any of their estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable Bankruptcy Law, as amended, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (iii) the assertion or exercise by the Company, such Guarantor, the Trustee or the Issuer of any rights or remedies under the Indenture or this Agreement or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or remedies, (iv) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for any of the Bonds, including all or any part of the rights of the Company or such Guarantor under the Indenture or this Agreement, (v) the extension of the time for payment by the Company or such Guarantor of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and provisions of any of the Bonds or the Indenture or this Agreement or of the time for performance by the Company or such Guarantor of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of any thereof, (vi) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the Company or such Guarantor set forth in the Indenture or this Agreement, (vii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Company or any of the Guarantors or any of their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of any of the Bonds, the Guarantees or the Indenture or this Agreement in any such proceeding, (viii) the release or discharge of the Company or such Guarantor from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (ix) the unenforceability of any of the Bonds, the Guarantees, the Indenture or this Agreement, (x) any change in the name, business, capital structure, corporate existence, or ownership of the Company or such Guarantor, or (xi) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, a surety or such Guarantor.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby (i) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, notice of acceptance, filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or such Guarantor, and all demands and notices whatsoever, (ii) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantees may be transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantees without notice to them and (iii) covenants that its Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Guarantees. Each Guarantor further agrees that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to any Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Guarantor, such Guarantee shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantees shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made.

The Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Owners, the Issuer and the Trustee against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantors pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture and this Agreement; provided, however, that the Guarantors shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation with respect to any of the Company Obligations until all of the Bonds and the Guarantees thereof shall have been indefeasibly paid in full or discharged.

A-7

A director, officer, employee, stockholder, partner or member, as such, of the Guarantors shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Guarantors under the Indenture or this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee, the Issuer or the Owners, any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Section 2 of Exhibit A and the Guarantees shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any rights, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies. The rights and remedies herein provided for are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided in law or equity. Nothing contained in this Section 2 of Exhibit A shall limit the right of the Trustee, the Issuer or the Owners to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Bonds pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Indenture or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable law.

Section 3. Covenants.

The Company hereby covenants and agrees:

(a) Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease.

(1) The Company shall not, and subject to Section 3(e) of this Exhibit A, shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge into any other Person or sell, lease or transfer its properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to, any Person, unless:

(A) (i) in the case of a merger, the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving entity, or (ii) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor is merged or the Person which acquires by sale or transfer, or which leases, the properties and assets of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor as, or substantially as, an entirety expressly assumes, by an amendment hereto, or an amendment to the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, as, or substantially as, an entirety expressly assumes, by a supplement executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Indenture or this Agreement, or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be;

(B) the surviving entity or successor Person is a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

(D) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an officers’ certificate, stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease complies with this Section 3(a) of Exhibit A and Section 2.02(b) of the Agreement and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

A-8

(2) Upon any consolidation of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor with, or merger of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor into, any other Person or any sale, transfer or lease of the properties and assets of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor as, or substantially as, an entirety in accordance with Section 3(a)(1) of this Exhibit A, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor is merged or to which such sale, transfer or lease is made shall (and, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor, its Subsidiary Guarantee will provide that it shall) succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture and this Agreement, or the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named originally as the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor herein or therein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and this Agreement and the Company Obligations or such Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be.

(b) Limitations on Liens.

The Company will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any property or assets, whether owned or leased on the date of this First Supplemental Lease Agreement or thereafter acquired, to secure any Debt of the Company or any other Person (other than the Company Obligations), without in any such case making effective provision whereby all of the Company Obligations shall be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Debt so long as such Debt shall be so secured. This restriction shall not apply to:

(1) Permitted Liens;

(2) any Lien upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in existence on the date of this First Supplemental Lease Agreement or created pursuant to an “after acquired property” clause or similar term or otherwise provided for pursuant to agreements existing on the date of this First Supplemental Lease Agreement;

(3) any Lien upon any property or assets created at the time of acquisition of such property or assets by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or within one year after such time to secure all or a portion of the purchase price for such property or assets or Debt incurred to finance such purchase price, whether such Debt was incurred prior to, at the time of or within one year after the date of such acquisition;

(4) any Lien upon any property or assets existing thereon at the time of the acquisition thereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether the obligations secured thereby are assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); provided, however, that such Lien only encumbers the property or assets so acquired;

(5) any Lien upon any property or assets of a Person existing thereon at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company by acquisition, merger or otherwise; provided, however, that such Lien only encumbers the property or assets of such Person at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company;

(6) any Lien upon any property or assets to secure all or part of the cost of construction, development, repair or improvements thereon or to secure Debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within one year after completion of such construction, development, repair or improvements or the commencement of full operations thereof (whichever is later), to provide funds for any such purpose;

(7) Liens imposed by law or order as a result of any proceeding before any court or regulatory body that is being contested in good faith, and Liens which secure a judgment or other court-ordered award or settlement as to which the Company or the applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be, has not exhausted its appellate rights;

A-9

(8) any Lien upon any additions, improvements, replacements, repairs, fixtures, appurtenances or component parts thereof attaching to or required to be attached to property or assets pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, pledge agreement, security agreement or other similar instrument, creating a Lien upon such property or assets permitted by clauses (1) through (7) above;

(9) any extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals, refinancing, refundings or replacements) of any Lien, in whole or in part, referred to in clauses (1) through (8), inclusive, of this Section 3(b) of Exhibit A; provided, however, that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement (plus the aggregate amount of premiums, other payments, costs and expenses required to be paid or incurred in connection with such extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement); provided, further, however, that such extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement Lien shall be limited to all or a part of the property (including improvements, alterations and repairs on such property) subject to the encumbrance so extended, renewed, refinanced, refunded or replaced (plus improvements, alterations and repairs on such property); or

(10) any Lien resulting from the deposit of moneys or evidence of indebtedness in trust for the purpose of defeasing Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(b) of Exhibit A, the Company may, and may permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any property or assets to secure Debt of the Company or any Person (other than the Bonds) that is not excepted by clauses (1) through (10), inclusive, of this Section 3(b) of Exhibit A without securing the Bonds issued under the Indenture, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Debt then Outstanding secured by such Lien and all similar Liens, together with all Attributable Indebtedness from Sale-Leaseback Transactions (excluding Sale-Leaseback Transactions permitted by clauses (1) through (4), inclusive, of Section 3(c) of this Exhibit A), does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

The Company will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage in a Sale-Leaseback Transaction, unless:

(1) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction occurs within one year from the date of completion of the acquisition of the property or assets subject thereto or the date of the completion of construction, development or substantial repair or improvement, or commencement of full operations on such property or assets, whichever is later;

(2) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not more than three years;

(3) the Company or such Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Debt secured by a Lien on the property or assets subject thereto in a principal amount equal to or exceeding the Attributable Indebtedness from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Bonds; or

(4) the Company or such Subsidiary, within a one-year period after such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, applies or causes to be applied an amount not less than the Attributable Indebtedness from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction to (A) the prepayment, repayment, redemption, reduction or retirement of Pari Passu Debt of the Company, or (B) the expenditure or expenditures for property or assets used or to be used in the ordinary course of business of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

A-10

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(c) of Exhibit A, the Company may, and may permit any of its Subsidiaries to, effect any Sale-Leaseback Transaction that is not excepted by clauses (1) through (4), inclusive, of this Section 3(c) of Exhibit A; provided that the Attributable Indebtedness from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, together with the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Debt (other than the Bonds) secured by Liens upon any property or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries not excepted by clauses (1) through (10), inclusive, of Section 3(b) of this Exhibit A, do not exceed 10% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

(d) Future Subsidiary Guarantors.

The Company shall cause each Subsidiary of the Company that guarantees or becomes a co-obligor in respect of any Funded Debt of the Company (including, without limitation, following any release of such Subsidiary pursuant to Section 3(e) of this Exhibit A from any guarantee previously provided by it under this Section 3(d) of Exhibit A) to cause the Company Obligations to be equally and ratably guaranteed by such Subsidiary, but only to the extent that the Company Obligations are not already guaranteed by such Subsidiary on reasonably comparable terms and promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to which such Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Company Obligations.

(e) Release of Guarantee.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(d) of this Exhibit A, in the event that any Subsidiary that has guaranteed the Company Obligations pursuant to Section 3(d) of this Exhibit A shall no longer be a guarantor of any Funded Debt of the Company other than the Company Obligations, and so long as no Default with respect to the Company Obligations shall have occurred or be continuing, such Subsidiary, upon giving written notice to the Trustee to the foregoing effect, shall be deemed to be automatically released from all of its obligations in respect of the Company Obligations, and its guarantee thereof and this Agreement without further act or deed and such guarantee of such Subsidiary shall be terminated and of no further force or effect. Following the receipt by the Trustee of any such notice, the Company shall cause this Agreement to be amended to evidence such release and termination; provided, however, that the failure to so amend this Agreement shall not affect the validity of the release and termination of such guarantee of such Subsidiary.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture, the Agreement or this Exhibit A, if at any time the Affiliate Guarantor does not guarantee any obligations of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Company) under any bank credit facility or any public debt instrument (other than pursuant to its Guarantee), then upon the Affiliate Guarantor giving written notice to the Trustee to the foregoing effect, the Affiliate Guarantor shall automatically be deemed to be released from its Guarantee and all of its obligations in respect of the Company Obligations and shall no longer be a “Guarantor” hereunder. However, if at any time after the Affiliate Guarantor is released from its Guarantee, the Affiliate Guarantor guarantees any obligations of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Company) under any bank credit facility or any public debt instrument, then the Affiliate Guarantor will (1) simultaneously therewith, automatically be deemed to be a “Guarantor” under the Agreement and have all obligations applicable to Guarantors under the Agreement and (2) provide a Guarantee of the Company Obligations pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the Trustee.

A-11

(f) Change of Control.

(1) If a Change of Control occurs, each Owner of Bonds shall have the right to require the Trustee with funds provided by the Company, who may designate a third party for this purpose (in either case, the “Company Designee”) to repurchase all or any part (which shall be in an amount equal to an Authorized Denomination under the Indenture) of that Owner’s Bonds pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer a “Change of Control Payment” in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), subject to the rights of any Owner in whose name a Bond is registered on a Record Date occurring prior to the Change of Control Payment Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to such Change of Control Payment Date.

(2) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, at the written direction of the Company Designee, which shall be accompanied by a form of notice in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Securities Depository, the Trustee shall deliver, within five (5) days after receipt of such written direction from the Company Designee, the notice provided by the Company to each Owner of Bonds. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer, shall state, among other things:

(A) that a Change of Control has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is being made as provided for herein, and that, although Owners are not required to tender their Bonds, all Bonds that are validly tendered shall be accepted for payment;

(B) the Change of Control Payment and the Change of Control Payment Date, which will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days after the date such notice is delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures required by the Indenture;

(C) that any Bonds accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer (and duly paid for on the Change of Control Payment Date) shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(D) that any Bonds (or portions thereof) not validly tendered shall continue to accrue interest;

(E) that any Owner electing to have a Bond purchased pursuant to any Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Bond, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Trustee, at the address specified in the notice at least one (1) Business Day before the Change of Control Payment Date;

(F) that Owners shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee receives, not later than the expiration of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Owner, the principal amount of the Bond the Owner delivered for purchase and a statement that such Owner is withdrawing his election to have such Bond purchased;

(G) the instructions and any other information necessary to enable Owners to tender their Bonds (or portions thereof) and have such Bonds (or portions thereof) purchased pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and

A-12

(H) whether any partial redemption of Bonds is scheduled to occur during the Change of Control Offer period.

(3) On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Trustee shall accept for payment all Bonds or portions thereof properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Promptly after such acceptance, on the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company Designee will:

(A) deposit by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, with the Trustee an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Bonds or portions thereof so tendered for deposit in the Change of Control Payment Fund; and

(B) provide the Trustee an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Bonds or portions thereof being purchased by the Company Designee.

(4) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Trustee, shall deliver to each Owner of Bonds accepted for payment the Change of Control Payment for such Bonds (or, if all the Bonds are then in global form, make such payment in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Securities Depositary), and the Issuer shall promptly issue a new Bond with a new Sub-series designated and new Interest Period, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Securities Depositary to each Owner such new Bond equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Bonds surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Bond shall be in a principal amount equal to an Authorized Denomination under the Indenture. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(5) The provisions described in this Section 3(f) that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control shall be applicable regardless of whether any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable, except as set forth in Section 3(g) below.

(6) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3(f), the Company and the Trustee shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (A) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Exhibit A applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Bonds validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, (B) notice of redemption of all outstanding Bonds has been given pursuant to the Indenture, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, or (C) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, the Company has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Bonds validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Bonds properly tendered in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer.

(7) A Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer.

A-13

(8) In the event that Owners of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds have been accepted for payment pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer and the Company (or a third party making the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer as provided in Section 3(f)(6)) purchases all of the Bonds held by such Owners, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer described above, as the case may be, to cause a mandatory tender of all of the Bonds that remain Outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment or Alternate Offer price, as applicable, plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment or Alternate Offer price, as applicable, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of tender (such date, the “Change of Control Mandatory Purchase Date”) (subject to the right of Owners of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Mandatory Purchase Date).

(g) Termination of Right to Tender Upon Change of Control.

If at any time (1) the Bonds have an Investment Grade Rating from either of the Rating Agencies, (2) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement or the Indenture and (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an officers’ certificate certifying to (1) and (2) of this Section 3(g) of Exhibit A (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Termination Event”), the Company and its Subsidiaries shall no longer be subject to the provisions of Section 3(f) of this Exhibit A. However, the Company and its Subsidiaries will remain subject to all of the other provisions of this Agreement.

The Trustee shall not have any obligation to monitor the ratings of the Bonds, the occurrence or date of any Covenant Termination Event and may rely conclusively on the officers’ certificate referenced above with respect to the same. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to notify the Owners of the occurrence or date of any Covenant Termination Event, but may provide a copy of such officers’ certificate to any Owner upon request.

(a) From any Conversion Date after which the Bonds will bear interest at a Long Term Rate (the “Long Term Period”) until the next following Conversion Date or the maturity date of the Bonds, the Bonds will bear interest at a Long Term Rate, as hereinafter described.

(b) The Long Term Rate will be determined by the Remarketing Agent (and the authority to so determine the Long Term Rate is hereby delegated by the Issuer to the Remarketing Agent), as follows: the interest rate for each Long Term Period shall be established at a rate equal to the interest rate per annum that, in the sole judgment of the Remarketing Agent, taking into account prevailing financial market conditions, would be the minimum interest rate required to sell the Bonds at a price of Par on the date on which the Long Term Period begins. The Long Term Rate shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent not later than the fifth day preceding the commencement of such Long Term Period, and the Remarketing 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.

In the event the Company elects at the end of a Long Term Period to have another Long Term Period applicable to the Bonds, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent in writing, not later than the 20th day prior to the commencement of such new Long Term Period, of such an election with respect to the Long Term Period and of the date on which such new Long Term Period shall begin.

The delivery by the Company to the Trustee of a letter from Bond Counsel confirming the opinion accompanying the Company notification described above on the first day of such Long Term Period is a condition precedent to the beginning of such Long Term Period. In the event that the Company fails to deliver to the Trustee the letter of Bond Counsel referred to in the preceding sentence, the Bonds shall be deemed to bear interest at the Weekly Rate, which Weekly Rate shall be 70% of the interest rate for 30-day taxable commercial paper (prime paper placed through dealers) announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the day on which the Long Term Rate on the Bonds was to be set.

(d) The determination of the Long Term Rate (absent manifest error) shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee, the Credit Provider (if any), and the Owners of the Bonds. If for any reason the Remarketing Agent shall fail to establish the Long Term Rate for any Long Term Period, the Bonds shall be deemed to bear interest at the Weekly Rate, which Weekly Rate shall be 70% of the interest rate for 30-day taxable commercial paper (prime paper placed through dealers) announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the day on which the Long Term Rate on the Bonds was to be set.

(a) The Company shall have the option (the “Conversion Option”) to direct a change in the type of Interest Period to another type of Interest Period by delivering to the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent written instructions setting forth (i) the Conversion Date, (ii) the new type of Interest Period, and (iii) whether such Interest Period will be a Credit Facility Period. If the new Interest Period is a Commercial Paper Period or a Long Term Period and will be a Credit Facility Period, such instructions will be accompanied by a Substitute Credit Facility, or by an amendment to the existing Credit Facility, providing for the payment of such additional interest and redemption premium (if any) on the Bonds as may be required. The sufficiency of any such Substitute Credit Facility, or of such amendment to an existing Credit Facility, shall be conclusively established by receipt of written notice, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, from any rating agency providing a rating on the Bonds, confirming the rating to be borne by the Bonds. In the event the Bonds are not then rated, then the Trustee may rely upon a notice from the Remarketing Agent to the effect that such Substitute Credit Facility or such amendment to an existing Credit Facility is sufficient. Such instructions shall be delivered at least 20 days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. If the duration of the Interest Period will change from an interval of 365 days or less to an interval of more than 365 days, or vice versa, then with such instructions the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such change in Interest Period will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds. The delivery by the Company to the Trustee of a letter from Bond Counsel confirming the opinion accompanying the Company notification described above on the Conversion Date is a condition precedent to the change in the type of Interest Period. In the event that the Company fails to deliver to the Trustee the letter of Bond Counsel referred to in the preceding sentence, the Bonds shall continue in the Interest Period in place at the time of exercise of the Conversion Option.

(b) Any change in the type of Interest Period must comply with the following: (i) the Conversion Date must be an Interest Payment Date for the Interest Period then in effect (and, with respect to a Long Term Period, must be the last Interest Payment Date for such Long Term Period), and (ii) no change in Interest Period shall occur after a Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 2.08. Execution; Limited Obligations.

The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer with the manual or facsimile signature of the President of the Issuer and the Issuer’s corporate seal shall be affixed thereto or printed or otherwise reproduced thereon and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Secretary of the Parish Council. All authorized facsimile signatures shall have the same force and effect as if manually signed. The Bonds shall not be general obligations of the Issuer but limited and special obligations payable solely from the amounts payable under the Agreement and other amounts specifically pledged therefor under this Indenture, and shall be a valid claim of the respective Owners thereof only against the Trust Estate, which amounts are hereby pledged, assigned and otherwise secured for the equal and ratable payment of the Bonds and shall be used for no other purpose than to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, except as may be otherwise expressly authorized in this Indenture. No Owner of any Bonds has the right to compel any exercise of taxing power (if any) of the Issuer to pay the Bonds or the interest thereon, and the Bonds do not constitute an indebtedness of the Issuer or a loan of credit thereof within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provisions.

Section 2.09. Authentication.

No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this Indenture unless and until a certificate of authentication on such Bond substantially in the form set forth in the form of Bond attached hereto as Exhibit “A” shall have been duly executed by the Trustee, and such executed certificate of authentication upon any such Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. The certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by the Trustee if signed by an authorized signatory of the Trustee but it shall not be necessary that the same signatory execute the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds.

In the event that any Bond is deemed tendered to the Trustee as provided in Section 4.01 or 4.02 hereof but is not physically so tendered, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Bond of like denomination of that deemed tendered.

Section 2.10. Form of Bonds.

The Bonds and the certificate of authentication to be endorsed thereon are to be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit “A” attached hereto, with appropriate variations, omissions and insertions as permitted or required by this Indenture.

Section 2.11. Authentication and Delivery of Bonds.

Prior to the authentication and delivery by the Trustee of the Bonds, there shall be filed or deposited with the Trustee:

(a) a copy, certified by an officer of the Issuer, of all resolutions adopted and proceedings had by the Issuer authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, including the resolution authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Indenture and the Agreement;

(b) the opinion of Bond Counsel approving the validity of the Bonds and continuing the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds; and

(c) a request and authorization to the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and signed by an authorized officer of the Issuer to authenticate and deliver the Bonds in such specified denominations as permitted herein to purchasers thereof upon payment to the Trustee, but for the account of the Issuer, of a specified sum of money. Upon payment of the proceeds to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deposit the proceeds pursuant to Article VI hereof.

Section 2.12. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds.

In the event any Bond is mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Bond of like date and denomination as that mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, provided that, in the case of any mutilated Bond, such mutilated Bond shall first be surrendered to the Issuer or the Trustee, and in the case of any lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond, there first shall be furnished to the Issuer and the Trustee evidence of such loss, theft or destruction satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee, together with an indemnity satisfactory to them. In the event any such Bond shall have matured, the Trustee, instead of issuing a duplicate Bond, may pay the same without surrender thereof, making such requirements as it deems fit for its protection, including a lost instrument bond. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Owner of such Bond with their reasonable fees and expenses for such service. In authenticating a new Bond, the Trustee may conclusively assume that the Issuer is satisfied with the adequacy of the evidence presented concerning the mutilation, loss, theft or destruction of any Bond or with any indemnity furnished in connection therewith if, after notification of the same, the Trustee has not received within two days following such notification written notice from the Issuer to the contrary.

Section 2.13. Transfer of Bonds; Persons Treated as Owners.

The Trustee shall keep books for the transfer of the Bonds as provided in this Indenture. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the Principal Office of the Trustee, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the Owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 hereof relating to the transfer of ownership of Bonds held in the Book-Entry System, any Bond, upon surrender thereof at the Principal Office of the Trustee duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the Owner or its attorney duly authorized in writing, may, at the option of the Owner thereof, be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Bonds of any denominations authorized by this Indenture in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Bond. In each case, the Trustee may require the payment by the Owner of the Bond requesting exchange or transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer.

The Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Bonds during the fifteen day period next preceding the date of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Bonds selected for redemption, or (b) any Bonds selected, called or being called for redemption in whole or in part except, in the case of any Bond to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the registration or transfer of any Bond which has been tendered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, and in any such case, for purposes of selection for redemption, the Bond so tendered and the Bond issued to the transferee thereof pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof shall be deemed and treated as the same Bond. If any Bond shall be transferred and delivered pursuant to Section 4.04(a) hereof after such Bond has been (i) called for redemption, (ii) accelerated pursuant to Section 9.02, or (iii) tendered pursuant to Sections 4.01 or 4.02, the Trustee shall deliver to such transferee a copy of the applicable redemption notice, acceleration notice, or tender notice indicating that the Bond delivered to such transferee has previously been called for redemption, acceleration or tender, and such Bonds shall not be delivered by the Trustee to the transferee until the transferee shall acknowledge receipt of such notice in writing.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 hereof relating to Bonds held in the Book-Entry System, the Trustee and the Issuer may treat the person in whose name a Bond is registered as the absolute Owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be bound by any notice or knowledge to the contrary, but such registration may be changed as hereinabove provided. All payments made to the Owner shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

Section 2.14. Destruction of Bonds.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 hereof relating to Bonds held in the Book-Entry System, whenever any Outstanding Bond shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Indenture, or for replacement pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof, such Bond shall be promptly cancelled and cremated or otherwise destroyed by the Trustee, and, upon the request of the Company and the Issuer, counterparts of a certificate of destruction evidencing such cremation or other destruction shall be famished by the Trustee to the Issuer and the Company.

Section 2.15. Temporary Bonds.

Until Bonds in definitive form are ready for delivery, the Issuer may execute, and upon the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, subject to the provisions, limitations and conditions set forth above, one or more Bonds in temporary form, whether printed, typewritten, lithographed or otherwise produced, substantially in the form of the definitive Bonds, with appropriate omissions, variations and insertions, and in authorized denominations. Until exchanged for Bonds in definitive form”, such Bonds in temporary form shall be entitled to the liens and benefits of this Indenture.

Upon presentation and surrender of any Bond or Bonds in temporary form, the Issuer shall, at the request of the Trustee, execute and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor, a Bond or Bonds in definitive form. Such exchange shall be made by the Trustee without making any charge therefor to the Owner of such Bond in temporary form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bonds in definitive form may be issued hereunder in typewritten form.

Section 2.16. Book-Entry System.

Upon the initial issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the Bonds shall be issued in the name of the Securities Depository or its nominee, as registered owner of the Bonds, and held in the custody of the Securities Depository or its designee. A single certificate (or such number of certificates required by the procedures of the Securities Depository) will be issued and delivered to the Securities Depository (or its designee) for the Bonds, and the Beneficial Owners will not receive physical delivery of Bond certificates except as provided herein. For so long as the Securities Depository shall continue to serve as securities depository for the Bonds as provided herein, all transfers of beneficial ownership interests will be made by book-entry only, and no investor or other party purchasing, selling or otherwise transferring beneficial ownership of Bonds is to receive, hold or deliver any Bond certificate. The Issuer, the Company and the Trustee will recognize the Securities Depository or its nominee as the Owner for all purposes, including notices.

The Issuer, the Company, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent may rely conclusively upon (i) a certificate of the Securities Depository as to the identity of the Participants in the Book-Entry System with respect to the Bonds and (ii) a certificate of any such Participant as to the identity of, and the respective principal amount of Bonds beneficially owned by, the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds.

Whenever, during the term of the Bonds, the beneficial ownership thereof is determined by a Book-Entry System at the Securities Depository, the requirements in this Indenture of holding, delivering or transferring Bonds shall be deemed modified to require the appropriate person to meet the requirements of the Securities Depository as to registering or transferring the book-entry Bonds to produce the same effect. Any provision hereof permitting or requiring delivery of Bonds shall, while the Bonds are in the Book-Entry System, be satisfied by the notation on the books of the Securities Depository in accordance with applicable state law.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture and the Bonds with respect to the rights of Participants and Beneficial Owners, when a Book-Entry System is in effect, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent and the Company may treat the Securities Depository (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of (i) payment of the principal or Purchase Price of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds or portion thereof to be redeemed or purchased, (ii) giving any notice permitted or required to be given to Owners under this Indenture, and (iii) the giving of any direction or consent or the making of any request by the Owners hereunder, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent nor the Company shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. None of the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee or the Remarketing Agent will have any responsibility or obligations to the Securities Depository, any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person which is not shown on the Bond Register, with respect to (i) the accuracy of any records maintained by the Securities Depository or any Participant, (ii) the payment by the Securities Depository or by any Participant of any amount due to any Beneficial Owner in respect of the principal amount or redemption or Purchase Price of, or interest on, any Bonds, (iii) the delivery of any notice by the Securities Depository or any Participant, (iv) the selection of the Participants or the Beneficial Owners to receive payment in the event of any partial redemption of the Bonds, or (v) any consent given or any other action taken by the Securities Depository or any Participant. The Trustee shall pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds registered in the name of a nominee of the Securities Depository only to or “upon the order of the Securities Depository (as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Louisiana), and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Company’s obligations with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

The Book-Entry System may be discontinued by the Trustee and the Issuer, at the direction and expense of the Company, and the Issuer and the Trustee will cause the delivery of Bond certificates to such Beneficial Owners of the Bonds and registered in the names of such Beneficial Owners as shall be specified to the Trustee by the Securities Depository in writing, under the following circumstances:

(a) The Securities Depository determines to discontinue providing its service with respect to the Bonds and no successor Securities Depository is appointed. Such a determination may be made at any time by giving 30 days’ notice to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law.

(b) The Company determines not to continue the Book-Entry System through a Securities Depository.

In the event the Book-Entry System is discontinued, the Trustee shall mail a notice to the Securities Depository for distribution to the Beneficial Owners stating that the Securities Depository will no longer serve as securities depository, the procedures for obtaining Bonds and the provisions of this Indenture which govern the Bonds, including, but not limited to, provisions regarding authorized denominations, transfer and exchange, principal and interest payment and other related matters.

When the Book-Entry System is not in effect, all references herein to the Securities Depository shall be of no further force or effect and the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Company, issue Bonds directly to the Beneficial Owners.

The Trustee reserves the right to initially issue the Bonds directly to the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds if the Trustee receives an opinion of Bond Counsel that determines that use of the Book-Entry System would cause the interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income of the Owners for federal income tax purposes.

No defect in any notice delivered pursuant to clause (b) above nor any failure to give all or any portion of such notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice is given as prescribed in clause (a) above. Any notice mailed as provided in this Section 3.03 shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Owner or any other recipient receives the notice. Each notice of redemption given hereunder shall contain (i) information identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP numbers of all Bonds being redeemed, (iii) the date of issue of the Bonds as originally issued, (iv) the rate of interest borne by each Bond being redeemed, (v) the maturity date of each Bond being redeemed, and (vi) any other descriptive information needed to identify accurately the Bonds being redeemed; provided, however, that no notice shall be deemed defective if the information required in clause (i) above is provided in such notice.

Failure to mail any such notice, or the mailing of defective notice, to any Owner, shall not affect the proceeding for redemption as to any Owner to whom proper notice is mailed. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, delivery by the Trustee of a copy of a redemption notice to a transferee of a Bond which has been called for redemption, pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.13 hereof, shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 3.03 with respect to any such transferee.

Upon the payment of the redemption price of Bonds being redeemed, each check or other transfer of funds issued for such purpose shall bear the CUSIP number identifying, by issue and maturity, the Bonds being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer.

Section 3.04. Redemption Payments.

Pursuant to Section 6.12 hereof, during any Credit Facility Period, the Trustee is authorized and directed to draw upon the Credit Facility in order to provide for the payment of the redemption price of the Bonds called for redemption, and is hereby authorized and directed to apply such funds to the payment of the principal of the Bonds or portions thereof called, together with accrued interest thereon to the redemption date. In the event the Bonds called for redemption are not secured by a Credit Facility, then if on or prior to the date fixed for redemption, sufficient moneys shall be on deposit with the Trustee to pay the redemption price of the Bonds called for redemption, the Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to apply such funds to the payment of the principal of the Bonds or portions thereof called, together with accrued interest thereon to the redemption date and any required premium. Upon the giving of notice and the deposit of moneys for redemption at the required times on or prior to the date fixed for redemption, as provided in this Article, interest on the Bonds or portions thereof thus called shall no longer accrue after the date fixed for redemption.

Section 3.05. Cancellation.

All Bonds which have been redeemed shall not be reissued but shall be canceled and cremated or otherwise destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.14 hereof.

(b) During any Daily Period, Weekly Period or Commercial Paper Period, during which the authorized denominations are $100,000 and integral multiples of $5,000 in excess thereof, in the event a Bond is of a denomination larger than $100,000, a portion of such Bond may be redeemed, but Bonds shall be redeemed only in an amount that causes the unredeemed portion to be in the principal amount of $100,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000 in excess thereof.

(c) During any Long Term Period, in case a Bond is of a denomination larger than $5,000, a portion of such Bond ($5,000 or any integral multiple thereof) may be redeemed, but Bonds shall be redeemed only in the principal amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

If the aggregate principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Pledged Bonds at the time of selection, the Trustee may select for redemption Bonds in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee may determine.

When the Bonds are subject to mandatory tender on the day immediately following the end of a Calculation Period, the Trustee is not required to deliver or mail any notice to the Owners of the Bonds. 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no deposit under clause (a)(ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed payment of such Bonds as aforesaid until (a) proper notice of redemption of such Bonds shall have been previously given in accordance with Article III of this Indenture, or in the event said Bonds are not by their terms subject to redemption within the next succeeding sixty (60) days, until the Company shall have given the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, irrevocable instructions to notify, as soon as practicable, the Owners of the Bonds that the deposit required by (a)(ii) above has been made with the Trustee and that said Bonds are deemed to have been paid in accordance with this Section 8.02 and stating the maturity or redemption date upon which moneys are to be available for the payment of the principal of and the applicable redemption premium, if any, on said Bonds, plus interest thereon to the due date thereof, or (b) the maturity of such Bonds.

In the event the Bonds are to be defeased and the interest rate borne by the Bonds has not been established for the entire period through and including the date on which principal and interest on the Bonds shall be paid, then for purposes of determining the interest portion of the deposit under clause (a)(ii) of the first paragraph of this Section with respect to the period during which no interest rate has yet been established, the interest rate borne by the Bonds during any such period shall be deemed to be the Maximum Rate for such period.

Before accepting or using any moneys to be deposited pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Trustee shall require that the Company furnish to it (i) an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such deposit will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds and that all conditions hereunder have been satisfied, (ii) a certificate of an independent certified public accounting firm of national reputation or a verification form acceptable to the Trustee (a copy of which shall be furnished to the rating agency then providing the rating borne by the Bonds) to the effect that such deposit of moneys or Government Obligations will be sufficient to defease the Bonds as provided in this Section 8.02, and (iii) during any Credit Facility Period, an opinion of nationally recognized counsel experienced in bankruptcy matters, which opinion shall be satisfactory to the rating agency (if any) then providing the rating borne by the Bonds, to the effect that the application of such moneys will not constitute a voidable preference in the event of the occurrence of an Act of Bankruptcy.

All moneys so deposited with the Trustee as provided in this Section 8.02 may also be invested and reinvested, at the direction of the Company, in noncallable Government - Obligations, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from all Government Obligations in the hands of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.02 which is not required for the payment of the Bonds and interest and premium, if any, thereon with respect to which such moneys shall have been so deposited shall be deposited in the General Account of the Bond Fund as and when realized and collected for use and application as are other moneys deposited in the General Account of the Bond Fund; provided, however, unless the opinion of Bond Counsel specifically permits any such reinvestment, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such reinvestment will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds.

The Issuer hereby covenants that no deposit will knowingly be made or accepted and no use knowingly made of any such deposit which would cause the Bonds to be treated as arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.

Notwithstanding any provision of any other article of this Indenture which may be contrary to the provisions of this Section 8.02, all moneys or Government Obligations set aside and held in trust pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.02 for the payment of Bonds (including interest and premium thereon, if any) shall be applied to and used solely for the payment of the particular Bonds (including the interest and premium thereon, if any) with respect to which such moneys or Government Obligations have been so set aside in trust.

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 of any such Default or acquiescence therein; such right or power may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient.

No waiver of any Default hereunder, whether by the Trustee or by the Owners of Bonds, shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or shall impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon.

Section 9.04. Right of Owners of Bonds to Direct Proceedings.

Subject to the provisions of Section 9.02 hereof, anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds shall have the right, at any time, by an instrument or instruments in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, to direct the method and place of conducting all proceedings to be taken in connection with the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or any other proceedings hereunder provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of law and of this Indenture.

Section 9.05. Appointment of Receivers.

Upon the occurrence of a Default, and upon the filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce the rights of the Trustee and of the Owners of Bonds under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Trust Estate and of the revenues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof, pending such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer.

Section 9.06. Waiver.

Upon the occurrence of a Default, to the extent that such rights may then lawfully be waived, neither the Issuer nor anyone claiming through or under it, shall set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Indenture, and the Issuer, for itself and all who may claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the extent that it lawfully may do so, the benefit of all such laws.

Section 9.07. Application of Moneys.

All moneys received by the Trustee pursuant to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this Article (other than moneys drawn under the Credit Facility, which shall be deposited directly into the Credit Facility Account of the Bond Fund, proceeds of any remarketing of Bonds, which shall be deposited directly into the Remarketing Account of the Bond Fund, or moneys deposited with the Trustee and held in accordance with Section 6.09 hereof) shall, after payment of the costs and expenses of the proceedings resulting in the collection of such moneys and of the fees, expenses, liabilities and advances owing to or incurred or made by the Trustee, be deposited in the General Account of the Bond Fund and the moneys in each account of the Bond Fund shall be applied as follows:

(a) Unless the principal of all the Bonds shall have become or shall have been declared due and payable, all such moneys shall be applied:

FIRST - To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest then due on the Bonds, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest (with interest on overdue installments of such interest, to the extent permitted by law, at the rate of interest borne by the Bonds) and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any particular installment, then to the payment ratably, according to the amounts due on such installment, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or privilege; and

SECOND - To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal of and premium, if any, on any of the Bonds which shall have become due (other than Bonds matured or called for redemption for the payment of which moneys are held pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture) (with interest on overdue installments of principal and premium, if any, to the extent permitted by law, at the rate of interest borne by the Bonds) and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full all Bonds due on any particular date, then to the payment ratably according to the amount of principal due on such date, to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege; and

THIRD - To the payment to the persons entitled thereto as the same shall become due of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds which may thereafter become due and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full Bonds due on any particular date, together with interest and premium, if any, then due and owing thereon, payment shall be made ratably according to the amount of interest, principal and premium, if any, due on such date to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege.

(b) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have become due or shall have been declared due and payable, all such moneys shall be applied to the payment of the principal and interest then due and unpaid upon the Bonds, without preference or priority of principal over interest or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Bond over any other Bond, ratably, according to the amounts due, respectively, for principal and interest, to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege, with interest on overdue installments of interest or principal, to the extent permitted by law, at the rate of interest borne by the Bonds.

(c) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have been declared due and payable and if such declaration shall thereafter have been rescinded and annulled under the provisions of this Article, then, subject to the provisions of Section 9.07(b) hereof, in the event that the principal of all the Bonds shall later become due or be declared due and payable, the moneys shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.07(a) hereof.

Whenever moneys are to be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section, such moneys shall be applied at such times, and from time to time, as the Trustee shall determine, having due regard to the amount of such moneys available for application and the likelihood of additional moneys becoming available for such application in the future. Whenever the Trustee shall apply such funds, it shall fix the date (which shall be an Interest Payment Date unless it shall deem another date more suitable) upon which such application is to be made and upon such date interest on the amounts of principal to be paid on such dates shall cease to accrue; provided that, upon an acceleration of Bonds pursuant to Section 9.02, interest shall cease to accrue on the Bonds on and after the date of such acceleration. The Trustee shall give such notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with it of any such moneys and of the fixing of any such date, and shall not be required to make payment to the Owner of any Bond until such Bond shall be presented to the Trustee for appropriate endorsement or for cancellation if fully paid.

Whenever the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Bonds have been paid under the provisions of this Section and all expenses and charges of the Trustee have been paid, any balance remaining in any account of the Bond Fund shall be paid to the Company or the Credit Provider as provided in Section 6.11 hereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, moneys drawn under the Credit Facility shall be applied only to the payment of principal or Purchase Price of and accrued interest on the Bonds.

Section 9.08. Remedies Vested in Trustee.

All rights of action (including the right to file proof of claims) under this Indenture or under any of the Bonds may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name as Trustee without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any Owners of the Bonds, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the equal and ratable benefit of the Owners of the Outstanding Bonds.

Section 9.09. Rights and Remedies of Owners of Bonds.

No Owner of any Bond shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity for the enforcement of this Indenture or for the execution of any trust hereof or for the appointment of a receiver or any other remedy hereunder, unless (subject to the provisions of Section 9.02 hereof) (i) a Default has occurred of which the Trustee has been notified as provided in Section 10.01(h) hereof, or of which by said subsection it is deemed to have notice, (ii) the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds shall have made written request to the Trustee and shall have offered it reasonable opportunity either to proceed to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted or to institute such action, suit or proceeding and shall have offered to the Trustee indemnity as provided in Section 10.01(l), and (iii) the Trustee shall thereafter fail or refuse to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted, or to institute such action, suit or proceeding. Such notification, request and offer of indemnity are hereby declared in every case at the option of the Trustee to be conditions precedent to the execution of the powers and trusts of this Indenture, and to any action or cause of action for the enforcement of this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder; it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners of the Bonds shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the lien of this Indenture by their action or to enforce any right hereunder except in the manner herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Owners of all Outstanding Bonds. However, nothing contained in this Indenture shall affect or impair the right of any Owner of Bonds to enforce the payment of the principal or Purchase Price of, premium, if any, and interest on any Bond at and after the maturity thereof, or the obligation of the Issuer to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each of the Bonds issued hereunder to the respective Owners thereof at the time and place, from the source and in the manner in the Bonds expressed. No Owner of any Bond shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at equity or at law to enforce a drawing under the Credit Facility.

Section 9.10. Termination of Proceedings.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture by the appointment of a receiver or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Owners of Bonds shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, with regard to the property subject to this Indenture, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 9.11. Waivers of Default.

The Trustee shall waive any Default hereunder and its consequences and rescind any declaration of acceleration of principal upon the written request of the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Bonds; provided, however, that there shall not be waived any Default hereunder unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice from the Credit Provider that the Credit Facility has been reinstated in full; and provided further that any Default under subsection (d) of Section 9.01 hereof may only be waived upon the written request of the Credit Provider (and in such case the consent of the Owners of the Bonds shall not be required); and provided further that there shall not be waived any Default specified in subsection (a) or (b) of Section 9.01 hereof unless prior to such waiver or rescission, the Company shall have caused to be paid to the Trustee (i) all arrears of principal and interest (other than principal of or interest on the Bonds which became due and payable by declaration of acceleration), with interest at the rate then borne by the Bonds on overdue installments, to the extent permitted by law, and (ii) all fees and expenses of the Trustee in connection with such Default. In case of any waiver or rescission described above, or in case any proceeding taken by the Trustee on account of any such Default shall have been discontinued or concluded or determined adversely, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Owners of Bonds shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver or rescission shall extend to any subsequent or other Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no waiver, rescission or annulment of a Default hereunder shall be made if the Credit Provider shall theretofore have honored in full a drawing under the Credit Facility in respect of such Default.

Section 9.12. Notice of Defaults under Section 9.01(e) or (f); Opportunity to Cure Such Defaults.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Default under Section 9.01(e) or (f) hereof shall be deemed a Default until notice of such Default shall be given to the Issuer and the Company by the Trustee or by the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Bonds, and the Issuer and the Company shall have had thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to correct said Default or to cause said Default to be corrected and shall not have corrected said Default or caused said Default to be corrected within the applicable period; provided, however, if said Default be such that it cannot be corrected within the applicable period, it shall not constitute a Default if corrective action is instituted by the Issuer or the Company within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the Default is corrected.

With regard to any Default concerning which notice is given to the Issuer and the Company under the provisions of this Section, the Issuer hereby grants the Company full authority for the account of the Issuer to perform any covenant or obligation alleged in said notice to constitute a Default, in the name and stead of the Issuer with full power to do any and all things and acts to the same extent that the Issuer could do and perform any such things and acts and with power of substitution.

Section 9.13. Subrogation Rights of Credit Provider.

The Credit Provider shall be subrogated to the rights possessed under this Indenture by the Owners of the Bonds, to the extent the Credit Facility is drawn upon and the amount of such drawing is not subsequently reimbursed to the Credit Provider. For purposes of the subrogation rights of the Credit Provider hereunder, (a) any reference herein to the Owners of the Bonds shall mean the Credit Provider, (b) any principal of or interest on the Bonds paid with moneys collected pursuant to the Credit Facility shall be deemed to be unpaid hereunder, and (c) the Credit Provider may exercise any rights it would have hereunder as the Owner of the Bonds. The subrogation rights granted to the Credit Provider in this Indenture are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies available to the Credit Provider and such subrogation rights shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, under or in connection with the Credit Facility or under any other instrument or agreement with respect to the reimbursement of moneys paid by the Credit Provider under the Credit Facility or with respect to the security for the obligations of the Company under or in connection with the Credit Facility, and every other remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

ARTICLE X

TRUSTEE

Section 10.01. Acceptance of Trusts.

The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture, and agrees to perform said trusts, but only upon and subject to the following express terms and conditions:

(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Default and after the curing of all Defaults which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case a Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), 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 the exercise of such rights and powers as an ordinary, prudent man would exercise or use in the conduct of his own affairs.

(b) 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, but shall not be answerable for the conduct of the same if appointed with due care, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning its duties hereunder, and may in all cases pay such reasonable compensation to all such attorneys, agents, receivers and employees as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trusts hereof. The Trustee may act upon the opinion or advice of any attorney (who may be the attorney or attorneys for the Issuer or the Company) selected by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from any action or inaction taken or not taken, as the case may be, in good faith in reliance upon such opinion or advice.

(c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital herein or in the Bonds (except with respect to the certificate of authentication endorsed on the Bonds), or for insuring the Project, or for collecting any insurance moneys, or for the validity of the execution by the Issuer of this Indenture or of any supplements hereto or instruments of further assurance, or for the sufficiency of the security for the Bonds issued hereunder or intended to be secured hereby, or for the value or title of the Project or any lien waivers with respect to the Project, and the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of the Company under the Agreement except as hereinafter set forth; but the Trustee may require of the Issuer and the Company full information and advice as to the performance of the aforesaid covenants, conditions and agreements. The Trustee shall have no obligation to perform any of the duties of the Issuer under the Agreement.

(d) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any Bonds authenticated or delivered hereunder. The Trustee, in its commercial banking or in any other capacity, may in good faith buy, sell, own, hold and deal in any of the Bonds and may join in any action which any Owner may be entitled to take with like effect as if it were not the Trustee. The Trustee, in its commercial banking or in any other capacity, may also engage in or be interested in any financial or other transactions with the Issuer or the Company and may act as a depository, trustee or agent for any committee of Owners secured hereby or other obligations of the Issuer as freely as if it were not the Trustee. The Trustee may become the Owner of Bonds secured hereby with the same rights which it would have if not the Trustee hereunder.

(e) The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other paper or document believed to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority or consent of any person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the Owner of any Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Bond and upon Bonds issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof.

(f) As to the existence or nonexistence of any fact or as to the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, paper or proceeding, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate signed by an Issuer Representative or a Company Representative as sufficient evidence of the facts therein contained and prior to the occurrence of a Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has been notified as provided in Section 10.01(h) hereof, or of which by said subsection the Trustee is deemed to have notice, shall also be at liberty to accept a similar certificate to the effect that any particular dealing, transaction or action is necessary or expedient, but may at its discretion secure such further evidence deemed by it to be necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same. The Trustee may accept a certificate of such officials of the Issuer who executed the Bonds (or their successors in office) to the effect that a resolution in the foiiii therein set forth has been adopted by the Issuer as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted and is in full force and effect.

(g) 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.

(h) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Default hereunder except for Defaults specified in subsections (a), (b), (c) or (d) of Section 9.01 hereof, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such Default by the Issuer, the Credit Provider or by the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds, and all notices or other instruments required by this Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee, must, in order to be effective, be delivered at the Principal Office of the Trustee, and in the absence of such notice so delivered the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no Default except as aforesaid.

(i) At any and all reasonable times the Trustee, and its duly authorized agents, attorneys, experts, engineers, accountants and representatives, shall have the right fully to inspect all books and records of the Issuer pertaining to the Project and the Bonds, and to make such copies and memoranda from and with regard thereto as may be desired.

(j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of this Indenture or otherwise in respect of the premises.

(k) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Indenture with respect to the authentication of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, the release of any property or any action whatsoever within the purview of this Indenture, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be required, to demand any showings, certificates, opinions, appraisals or other information, or corporate action or evidence thereof, in addition to that by the terms hereof required as a condition of such action, deemed desirable by the Trustee for the purpose of establishing the right of the Issuer or the Company to the authentication of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash or the taking of any other action.

(l) Before suffering, taking or omitting any action under this Indenture or under the Agreement (other than (i) paying the principal or Purchase Price of, redemption premium (if any) and interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due and payable, (ii) drawing upon the Credit Facility, (iii) exercising its obligations in connection with a mandatory tender of the Bonds under Section 4.01, and (iv) declaring an acceleration under Section 9.02 as a result of a Default under Section 9.01(d)), the Trustee may require that a satisfactory indemnity bond be furnished for the reimbursement of any expenses to which it may be put and to protect it against all liability, except liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from its gross negligence or willful default in connection with any such action.

(m) All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied or invested as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent otherwise required herein or required by law.

(n) The Trustee’s immunities and protections from liability and its right to compensation and indemnification in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture shall extend to the Trustee’s officers, directors, agents and employees. Such immunities and protections and right to indemnification, together with the Trustee’s right to compensation, shall survive the Trustee’s resignation or removal and final payment of the Bonds.

(o) Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, (i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it is proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, and (ii) no provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it believes the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(p) In the event the Trustee receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity from two or more groups of holders of the Bonds, each representing less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, shall be taken.

(q) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any information in any offering memorandum or other disclosure material distributed with respect to the Bonds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for compliance with any state or federal securities laws in connection with the Bonds.

(r) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any registration, filing, recording, reregistration or rerecording of this Indenture or any other document or instrument executed in connection with this Indenture and the issuance and sale of the Bonds including, without limitation, any financing statements or continuation statements with respect thereto.

Section 10.02. Fees, Charges and Expenses of the Trustee.

The Trustee shall be entitled to payment of reasonable fees for its services rendered hereunder and reimbursement of all advances, counsel fees and other expenses reasonably made or incurred by the Trustee in connection with such services including, without limitation, the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel. Upon the occurrence of a Default, but only upon the occurrence of a Default, the Trustee shall have a first lien with right of payment prior to payment on account of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Bond upon the Trust Estate (exclusive of the proceeds of any drawing under the Credit Facility, proceeds of the remarketing of the Bonds, and funds held by the Trustee for matured and unpresented Bonds) for the foregoing fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Act of Bankruptcy with respect to the Company, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, moratorium, reorganization or other debtor relief law. The Issuer shall have no liability to pay any fees, charges or other expenses of the Trustee hereinabove mentioned except from the amounts pledged under this Indenture. The rights of the Trustee under this Section shall survive the Trustee’s resignation or removal.

Section 10.03. Notice to Owners of Bonds if Default Occurs.

If a Default occurs of which the Trustee has been notified as provided in Section 10.01(h) hereof, or of which by said subsection it is deemed to have notice, then the Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Credit Provider and to the Owner of each Bond.

Section 10.04. Intervention by the Trustee.

In any judicial proceeding which in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel has a substantial bearing on the interests of the Owners of the Bonds, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of the Owners of the Bonds and shall do so if requested in writing by the Credit Provider or the Owners of at least fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds.

Section 10.05. Successor Trustee.

Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party, shall be and become successor Trustee hereunder and vested with all of the title to the Trust Estate and all the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 10.06. Resignation by the Trustee.

The Trustee and any successor Trustee may at any time resign from the trusts hereby created by giving thirty (30) days’ notice to the Issuer, the Credit Provider, the Remarketing Agent, the Company, and the Owner of each Bond. Such resignation shall not take effect (i) until the appointment and acceptance of a successor Trustee or temporary Trustee and the transfer to said successor or temporary Trustee of the Credit Facility, and (ii) payment in full of all fees and expenses and other amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant hereto or to the Agreement.

Section 10.07. Removal of the Trustee.

The Trustee may be removed at any time by the Issuer or the Company (provided the Company is not in default under the Agreement), or by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Trustee, the Company and to the Issuer and signed by the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds. Such removal shall not take effect until (i) the appointment and acceptance of a successor Trustee or temporary Trustee and the transfer to said successor or temporary Trustee of the Credit Facility, and (ii) payment in full of all fees and expenses and other amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant thereto or to the Agreement.

Section 10.08. Appointment of Successor Trustee by Owners of Bonds.

In case the Trustee hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation, or otherwise become incapable of acting hereunder, or in case it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by such Owners, or by their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, a copy of which shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail to the Issuer, the Company and the Credit Provider. In case of any such vacancy, the Issuer, by an instrument executed by its official who executed the Bonds or his successor in office, may appoint a temporary successor Trustee to fill such vacancy until a successor Trustee shall be appointed by the Owners of Bonds in the manner above provided; and such temporary successor Trustee so appointed by the Issuer shall immediately and without further act be superseded by the Trustee appointed by the Owners of Bonds. If no successor Trustee has accepted appointment in the manner provided in Section 10.09 hereof within sixty (60) days after the Trustee has given notice of resignation to the Issuer and the Owner of each Bond, the Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a temporary successor Trustee; provided that any Trustee so appointed shall immediately and without further act be superseded by a Trustee appointed by the Issuer or the Owners of Bonds as provided above. Every successor Trustee appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be, if there be such an institution willing, qualified and able to accept the trust upon customary terms, a bank with trust powers or trust company within or without the State, in good standing and having reported capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000.

Section 10.09. Acceptance by Successor Trustee.

Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its or his predecessor and also to the Issuer and the Company an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but its predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer, or of its successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor hereunder; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it as Trustee hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estate, rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer.

Section 10.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee.

It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the laws of the State) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as Trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture or the Agreement, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on Default, or in case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein or therein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted, or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Trustee may appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate or Co-Trustee, in which event each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture or the Agreement to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or Co-Trustee, but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or Co-Trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or Co-Trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them.

Should any deed, conveyance or instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by the separate or Co-Trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. In case any separate or Co-Trustee, or a successor, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate or Co-Trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a successor to such separate or Co-Trustee. Any Co-Trustee appointed by the Trustee pursuant to this Section may be removed by the Trustee, in which case all powers, rights and remedies vested in the Co-Trustee shall again vest in the Trustee as if no such appointment of a Co-Trustee had been made.

Section 10.11. Successor Remarketing Agent.

(a) Any corporation or association into which the Remarketing Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its municipal bond underwriting business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party, shall be and become the successor Remarketing Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(b) The Remarketing Agent may at any time resign by giving thirty (30) days’ notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Credit Provider and the Company. Such resignation shall not take effect until the appointment of a successor Remarketing Agent.

(c) The Remarketing Agent may be removed at any time by an instrument in writing delivered to the Trustee by the Company, with the prior written approval of the Credit Provider. In no event, however, shall any removal of the Remarketing Agent take effect until a successor Remarketing Agent shall have been appointed.

(d) In case the Remarketing Agent shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation, or otherwise become incapable of acting as Remarketing Agent, or in case it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by the Company with the prior written approval of the Issuer and the Credit Provider. Every successor Remarketing Agent appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be, if there be such an institution willing, qualified and able to accept the duties of the Remarketing Agent upon customary tern’s, a bank or trust company or any entity, within or without the State, in good standing and having reported capital and surplus of not less than $10,000,000 and having general obligation indebtedness rated Baa3/Prime-3 or better by Moody’s (or a substantially equivalent rating by such other rating agency then providing the rating borne by the Bonds). Written notice of such appointment shall immediately be given by the Company to the Trustee and the Trustee shall cause written notice of such appointment to be given to the Owners of the Bonds. Any successor Remarketing Agent shall execute and deliver an instrument accepting such appointment and thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor, with like effect as if originally named as Remarketing Agent, but such predecessor shall nevertheless, on the written request of the Company, the Trustee or the Issuer, or of the successor, execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in such successor all rights, powers, duties and obligations of such predecessor. If no successor Remarketing Agent has accepted appointment in the manner provided above within 90 days after the Remarketing Agent has given notice of its resignation as provided above, the Remarketing Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a temporary successor Remarketing Agent; provided that any Remarketing Agent so appointed shall immediately and without further act be superseded by a Remarketing Agent appointed by the Company as provided above.

Section 10.12. Notice to Rating Agencies.

The Trustee shall provide Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, as appropriate, so long as any of such rating agencies shall provide the rating borne by the Bonds, with prompt written notice following the effective date of such event of (i) any successor Trustee and any successor Remarketing Agent, (ii) any Substitute Credit Provider, (iii) any material amendments to this Indenture or the Agreement, (iv) the expiration, termination or extension of any Credit Facility, (v) the exercise of a Conversion Option, (vi) the occurrence of a Mandatory Purchase Date (unless such Mandatory Purchase Date is a day immediately following the end of a Calculation Period), (vii) the redemption in whole of the Bonds or the payment in full of the Bonds at maturity, (viii) the defeasance of the Bonds, or (ix) the acceleration of the Bonds. In addition, the Trustee shall provide Fitch, Moody’s and/or S&P, as appropriate, so long as any of such rating agencies shall provide the rating borne by the Bonds, with any other information which the rating agency may reasonably request in order to maintain the rating on the Bonds.

The Parish of St. Xxxxx, State of Louisiana (the “Issuer”), for value received, promises to pay from the source and as hereinafter provided, to the Registered Owner identified above on the Maturity Date set forth above, upon surrender hereof, the Principal Amount set forth above, and in like manner to pay interest on said sum as provided in this Bond.

1. Indenture; Lease Agreement. This Bond is one of an authorized issue of bonds (the “Bonds”), limited to $56,200,000 in principal amount, issued under the Indenture of Trust dated as of June 1, 2008 (the “Indenture”), between the Parish of St. Xxxxx, State of Louisiana (the “Issuer”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The terms of the Bonds include those in the Indenture. Bondholders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

-1-

The Issuer will issue the Bonds to finance the cost of acquisition, construction and installation of an addition of approximately 1.4 million barrels of crude storage capacity comprised of four (4) tanks with approximately 350,000 shell barrels each; piping to connect the new tanks to existing tanks, docks and third-party pipelines; a marine vapor combustor; roads; electrical work; fire protection and dikes located at the NuStar St. Xxxxx Terminal on the west bank of the Mississippi River at mile marker 159.9 in the Parish (the “Project”). The Issuer will lease the Project to NuStar Logistics, L.P.(the “Company”) pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated as of June 1, 2008 (the “Agreement”), between the Issuer and the Company. The Company has agreed in the Agreement to make rental payments to the Issuer in amounts sufficient to pay all amounts coming due on the Bonds, and the Issuer has assigned its rights to such payments under the Agreement to the Trustee as security for the Bonds.

The Indenture and the Agreement may be amended, and references to them include any amendments.

The Issuer has established a Book-Entry system of registration for this Bond. Except as specifically provided otherwise in the Indenture, CEDE & co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), will be the registered owner and will hold this Bond on behalf of each Beneficial Owner hereof. By acceptance of a confirmation of purchase, delivery or transfer, each Beneficial Owner of this Bond shall be deemed to have agreed to such arrangement. CEDE & co., as registered owner of this Bond, may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

2. Source of Payments. This Bond and the series of Bonds of which it forms a part are issued pursuant to and in full compliance with Sections 991 to 1001, inclusive, of Title 39 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, as amended, and other constitutional and statutory authority supplemental thereto (the “Act”). THIS BOND AND THE ISSUE OF WHICH IT IS A PART AND THE PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST HEREON ARE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE ISSUER PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE REVENUES AND RECEIPTS DERIVED FROM THE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING PAYMENTS RECEIVED THERE-UNDER, WHICH PAYMENTS, REVENUES AND RECEIPTS HAVE BEEN PLEDGED AND ASSIGNED TO THE TRUSTEE TO SECURE PAYMENT OF THE BONDS. THE BONDS, THE PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND THE INTEREST THEREON SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A DEBT OR A PLEDGE OF THE FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, INCLUDING THE ISSUER. NEITHER THE STATE OF LOUISIANA NOR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, INCLUDING THE ISSUER, SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL OF, PREMIUM, IF ANY, OR INTEREST ON THE BONDS OR OTHER COSTS INCIDENT THERETO EXCEPT FROM THE REVENUES AND RECEIPTS PLEDGED THEREFOR, AND NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE ISSUER, THE STATE OF LOUISIANA OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF, PREMIUM, IF ANY, OR INTEREST ON THE BONDS OR OTHER COSTS INCIDENT THERETO.

The Bonds are initially secured by a letter of credit (the “Credit Facility”) issued by SunTrust Bank (the “Credit Provider”), in favor of the Trustee. This Credit Facility entitles the Trustee to draw an amount sufficient to pay the principal of the Bonds and up to 40 days’ interest accrued on the Bonds at a maximum rate per annum of 12%. Unless extended by the Credit Provider in accordance with its terms, the Credit Facility expires on June 25, 2009, or on the earlier occurrence of events specified in it. On its expiration, or in the event the Company has provided another Credit Facility meeting the requirements of the Indenture, the Bonds will be subject to mandatory tender for purchase as more fully described below.

-2-

3. Interest Rate. Interest on this Bond will be paid at the lesser of (a) a Daily Rate, a Weekly Rate, a Commercial Paper Rate or a Long Term Rate as selected by the Company and as determined in accordance with the Indenture, and (b) the Maximum Rate. Interest will initially be payable at the Weekly Rate, as set forth in the Indenture. The Company may change the interest rate determination method from time to time. A change in the method, other than a change between the Daily Rate and the Weekly Rate, will result in the Bonds becoming subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the effective date of such change.

When interest is payable at (a) a Daily Rate, Weekly Rate or Commercial Paper Rate, it will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and (b) a Long Term Rate, it will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

4. Interest Payment and Record Dates. Interest will accrue on the unpaid portion of the principal of this Bond from the last date to which interest was paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the date of initial authentication and delivery of the Bonds, until the entire principal amount of this Bond is paid or duly provided for. When interest is payable at the rate in the first column below, interest accrued during the period (an “Accrual Period”) shown in the second column will be paid on the date (an “Interest Payment Date”) in the third column to holders of record on the date (a “Record Date”) in the fourth column:

TYPE OF INTEREST PERIOD	ACCRUAL PERIOD¹	INTEREST PAYMENT DATE	RECORD DATE

Daily	Calendar Month	Fifth Business Day of the next month	Last Business Day of the Accrual Period

Weekly	First Wednesday of each month through the first Tuesday of the next succeeding month	First Wednesday of each month	Last Business Day before Interest Payment Date

Commercial Paper	From 1 to 270 days as determined for each Bond pursuant to the Indenture (“Calculation Period”)	First Day following Calculation Period	Last Business Day before Interest Payment Date

Long Term	Six-month period or portion thereof beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the last day of the sixth calendar month following (and including) the month in which the Conversion Date occurs and each six-month period thereafter	First day of the seventh calendar month following (and including) the month in which the Conversion Date occurs and the first day of every sixth month thereafter	Fifteenth of the month before the Interest Payment Date

¹ If the Conversion Date does not coincide with the first day of the Accrual Period for the new Interest Period, then the first day of such Accrual Period shall be the Conversion Date, but all other terms and condition shall be as set forth in the above Table.

-3-

5. Conversion Option. The Company shall have the option (the “Conversion Option”) to direct a change in the type of Interest Period to another type of Interest Period by delivering to the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent written instructions setting forth (i) the Conversion Date, (ii) the new type of Interest Period, and (iii) whether such Interest Period will be a Credit Facility Period. If the new Interest Period is a Commercial Paper Period or a Long Tem]. Period and will be a Credit Facility Period, such instructions will be accompanied by a Substitute Credit Facility, or by an amendment to the existing Credit Facility, providing for the payment of such additional interest and redemption premium (if any) on the Bonds as may be required under the Indenture, and otherwise complying with the terms thereof.

Any change in the type of Interest Period must comply with the following: (i) the Conversion Date must be an Interest Payment Date for the Interest Period then in effect (and, with respect to a Long Term Period, must be the last Interest Payment Date for such Long Term Period) and (ii) no change in Interest Period shall occur after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

6. Method of Payment. The Trustee will be the registrar and paying agent for the Bonds. Holders must surrender Bonds to the Trustee to collect principal and premium, if any, at maturity or upon redemption and to collect the purchase price for Bonds tendered for purchase as described in paragraphs 7 or 8, below. Interest on Bonds bearing interest at a Commercial Paper Rate is payable only after presentation of such Bonds to the Trustee, unless a Book-Entry System is in effect with respect to such Bonds. Subject to the preceding sentence, interest on the Bonds will be paid to the registered holder hereof as of the Record Date by check mailed by first-class mail on the Interest Payment Date to such holder’s registered address or, with respect to Bonds bearing interest at a Daily Rate, Weekly Rate or Commercial Paper Rate, by wire transfer to an account in the continental United States if the holder provides the Registrar with a written request therefor and the account address at least five Business Days before the Record Date. A holder of $1,000,000 or more in principal amount of Bonds may be paid interest at a Long Term Rate by wire transfer to an account in the continental United States if the holder makes a written request of the Registrar at least five Business Days before the Record Date specifying the account address. Notices requesting wire transfers may provide that they will remain in effect for later interest payments until changed or revoked by another written notice. Principal and interest will be paid in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts or by checks or wire transfers payable in such money. If any payment on the Bonds is due on a non-Business Day, such payment will be made on the next Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue as a result.

7. Mandatory Tender for Purchase of Bonds on Mandatory Purchase Date. The Bonds shall be subject to mandatory tender by the Registered Owners thereof for purchase on (a) each Conversion Date other than a conversion between the Daily Period and the Weekly Period, (b) each day immediately following the end of a Calculation Period, (c) the first day of any Long Term Period, (d) the Interest Payment Date immediately before the Credit Facility Termination Date, (e) the Interest Payment Date concurrent with the effective date of a Substitute Credit Facility, and (f) the first Interest Payment Date following the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability for which the Trustee can give notice of mandatory tender in accordance with the Indenture (each, a “Mandatory Purchase Date”).

Except when the Bonds are subject to mandatory tender on a day immediately following the end of a Calculation Period, the Trustee shall deliver or mail by first class mail a notice in substantially the form required by the Indenture at least fifteen days prior to the Mandatory Purchase Date. When the Bonds are subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the day immediately following the end of a Calculation Period, the Trustee is not required to deliver or mail any notice to the Registered Owners of the Bonds.

Any notice given by the Trustee as provided above shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Registered Owner receives the notice. Failure to mail any such notice, or the mailing of defective notice, to any Registered Owner, shall not affect the proceeding for purchase as to any Registered Owner to whom proper notice is mailed.

On each Mandatory Purchase Date, Registered Owners of Bonds shall be required to tender their Bonds to the Trustee for purchase by 10:30 A.M. New York City time at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds tendered or deemed tendered, and any such Bonds not so tendered on the Mandatory Purchase Date, for which there has been irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee an amount of moneys sufficient to pay said purchase price of the untendered bonds, shall be deemed to have been purchased pursuant to the Indenture. In the event of a failure by a Registered Owner of Bonds to tender its Bonds on or prior to the Mandatory Purchase Date by the requisite time, said Registered Owner shall not be entitled to any payment (including any interest to accrue subsequent to the Mandatory Purchase Date) other than said 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 said Purchase Price therefor.

8. Demand Purchase Option. Any Bond bearing interest at the Daily Rate or the Weekly Rate shall be purchased from the Registered Owners thereof at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bond tendered or deemed tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase, as provided below:

While the Book-Entry System is not in effect, upon: (a) delivery to the Trustee at its Principal Office and to the Remarketing Agent at its Principal Office of a written notice (said notice to be irrevocable and effective upon receipt) which (i) states the aggregate principal amount and Bond numbers of the Bonds to be purchased, and (ii) states the date on which such Bonds are to be purchased (the “Tender Date”), and (b) delivery to the Trustee at its Delivery Office at or prior to 10:30 A.M. New York City time on the date designated for purchase in the notice described in (a) above of such Bonds to be purchased, with an appropriate endorsement for transfer or accompanied by a bond power endorsed in blank. Furthermore, such Tender Date shall not be prior to the seventh day next succeeding the date of delivery of the notice unless the Daily Period is in effect.

While the Book-Entry System is in effect, the ownership interest of a Beneficial Owner of a Bond or portion thereof in an authorized denomination shall be purchased at the Purchase Price described above if such Beneficial Owner causes the Participant through whom such Beneficial Owner holds such Bonds to (a) deliver to the Trustee at its Principal Office and to the Remarketing Agent at its Principal Office a notice which (i) states the aggregate amount of the beneficial ownership interest to be purchased, and (ii) specifies the Tender Date, and (b) on the same date as delivery of the notice referred to in (a) above, deliver a notice to DTC (the “Securities Depository”) irrevocably instructing it to transfer on the registration books of the Securities Depository the beneficial ownership interests in such Bond or portion thereof to the account of the Trustee, for settlement on the purchase date on a “free delivery” basis with a copy of such notice delivered to the Trustee on the same date. Furthermore, such Tender Date shall not be prior to the seventh day next succeeding the date of delivery of the notice unless the Daily Period is in effect.

“Tender Date” means (a) during any Daily Period, any Business Day, (b) during any Weekly Period, the seventh day (unless such day is not a Business Day, in which case the next Business Day) following receipt by the Trustee of notice from the Registered Owner that such Registered Owner has elected to tender Bonds.

9. Extraordinary Redemption. During any Long Term Period, the Bonds are subject to redemption in whole by the Issuer, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price of 100% of the Outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to (but not including) the redemption date, in the event all or substantially all of the Project shall have been damaged or destroyed, or there occurs the condemnation of all or substantially all of the Project or the taking by eminent domain of such use or control of the Project as to render it, in the judgment of the Company, unsatisfactory for its intended use for a period of time longer than one year.

10. Optional Redemption by the Company. During any Daily Period or Weekly Period, the Bonds are subject to redemption by the Issuer, at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part on any Interest Payment Date, less than all of such Bonds to be selected by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall determine, at a redemption price of 100% of the Outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to (but not including) the redemption date.

On any Conversion Date or on the day following the end of a Calculation Period if such day is the end of the Calculation Period for all Bonds, the Bonds are subject to redemption by the Issuer, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, less than all such Bonds to be selected by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall determine, at a redemption price of 100% of the Outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to (but not including) the redemption date.

During any Long Term Period, the Bonds are subject to redemption by the Issuer, at the option of the Company, on or after the First Optional Redemption Date, in whole at any time or in part on any Interest Payment Date, less than all of such Bonds to be selected by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall determine, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth in the following table plus accrued interest to (but not including) the redemption date:

	Redemption Dates	Redemption Prices

	First Optional Redemption Date through (and including) the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the First Optional Redemption Date	102%

In the event any of the Bonds or portions thereof are called for redemption as aforesaid, notice of the call for redemption, identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, shall be given by the Trustee by (i) mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Registered Owner of each Bond to be redeemed in whole or in part at the address shown on the registration books and (ii) by registered or certified mail or overnight delivery service at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided above shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Registered Owner receives the notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the notice requirements contained in the first sentence of this paragraph may be deemed satisfied with respect to a transferee of a Bond which has been purchased pursuant to the Demand Purchase Option after such Bond has previously been called for redemption, notwithstanding the failure to satisfy the notice requirements of the first sentence of this paragraph with respect to such transferee, as more fully provided in the Indenture.

12. Persons Deemed Owners. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein and in the Indenture with respect to rights of Participants and beneficial owners when a Book-Entry System is in effect, the registered holder of this Bond shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

13. Non-presentment of Bonds. If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or purchase price remains unclaimed for two years after the due date therefor, the Trustee will pay the money to the Company upon written request. After that, holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

14. Discharge Before Redemption or Maturity. If the Company deposits with the Trustee money or securities as described in, and in accordance with the provisions of, the Indenture sufficient to pay at redemption or maturity principal of and interest on the outstanding Bonds, and if the Company also pays all other sums then payable by the Company under the Indenture, the lien of the Indenture will be discharged. After discharge, Bondholders must look only to the deposited money and securities for payment.

15. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Lease Agreement or the Bonds may be amended or supplemented, and any past default may be waived, with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding. Any such consent shall be irrevocable and shall bind any subsequent owner of this Bond or any Bond delivered in substitution for this Bond. Without the consent of any Bondholder, the Issuer may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Lease Agreement or the Bonds as described in the Indenture.

16. Defaults and Remedies. The Indenture provides that the occurrences of certain events constitute events of Default. If Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may declare the principal of all the Bonds to be due and payable immediately; provided that in certain circumstances, the Trustee shall make such declaration upon the written request of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding and provided further, that in the case of certain Defaults, the principal of all of the Bonds shall automatically become due and payable. A Default and its consequences may be waived as provided in the Indenture. Bondholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Bonds except as provided in the Indenture. Except as specifically provided in the Indenture, the Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Bonds unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal, purchase price, or redemption price of, or interest on, this Bond, or for any claim based hereon or on the Indenture, against any member, officer or employee, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor body, as such, either directly or through the Issuer or any such successor body under any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise. Each Bondholder by accepting a Bond waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Bond.

(d) In the event that the Company exercises its right under Section 3(f)(8) of Exhibit A to the First Supplemental Lease Agreement to cause a mandatory tender for the purchase of Bonds, the Bonds are also subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the Change of Control Mandatory Purchase Date. The Trustee shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 3(f)(8) of Exhibit A to the First Supplemental Lease Agreement and shall give notice to the Owners of the Bonds of a mandatory tender 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. The Trustee shall provide the Company with a copy of any notice delivered to the Owners of the Bonds pursuant to this Section 4.01(d).

Owners of Bonds shall be required to tender their Bonds to the Trustee for purchase at the Purchase Price, no later than 10:30 A.M. New York City time on the Change of Control Mandatory Purchase Date, and any such Bonds not so tendered by such time on the Change of Control Mandatory Purchase Date (“Change of Control Untendered Bonds”) shall be deemed to have been purchased pursuant to this Section 4.01(d). In the event of a failure by an Owner of Bonds to tender its Bonds on or prior to the Change of Control Mandatory Purchase Date, said Owner shall not be entitled to any payment (including any interest to accrue subsequent to the Change of Control Mandatory Purchase Date) other than the Purchase Price for such Change of Control Untendered Bonds, and any Change of Control Untendered Bonds shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, except for the purpose of payment of the Purchase Price therefor.

Any Bonds so tendered may be remarketed by a Remarketing Agent appointed pursuant to Section 10.11 hereof with a new Long Term Period and Sub-series designation at the option of the Company.”

AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE X OF THE ORIGINAL INDENTURE

SECTION 9.01. Successor Remarketing Agent. Section 10.11(d) of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(d) In case the Remarketing Agent shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation, or otherwise become incapable of acting as Remarketing Agent, or in case it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by the Company. Every successor Remarketing Agent appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be, if there be such an institution willing, qualified and able to accept the duties of the Remarketing Agent upon customary terms, a bank or trust company or any entity, within or without the State, in good standing and having reported capital and surplus of not less than $10,000,000 and having general obligation indebtedness rated Baa3/Prime-3 or better by Xxxxx’x (or a substantially equivalent rating by such other rating agency then providing the rating borne by the Bonds). Written notice of such appointment shall immediately be given by the Company to the Trustee and the Trustee shall cause written notice of such appointment to be given to the Owners of the Bonds. Any successor Remarketing Agent shall execute and deliver an instrument accepting such appointment and thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor, with like effect as if originally named as Remarketing Agent, but such predecessor shall nevertheless, on the written request of the Company, the Trustee or the Issuer, or of the successor, execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in such successor all rights, powers, duties and obligations of such predecessor. If no successor Remarketing Agent has accepted appointment in the manner provided above within 90 days after the Remarketing Agent has given notice of its resignation as provided above, the Remarketing Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a temporary successor Remarketing Agent; provided that any Remarketing Agent so appointed shall immediately and without further act be superseded by a Remarketing Agent appointed by the Company as provided above. In connection with any remarketing of Bonds in the Long Term Rate after a Change of Control Mandatory Purchase Date or after the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall appoint a Remarketing Agent in a timely manner in order to permit a remarketing of any such Bonds if so desired by the Company.”
