provision therefor has been made and is considered to be a payment of principal
of, or premium, if any, or interest on, such Bonds. If such Bonds are thereby
deemed paid in full, the Trustee shall notify the Company and the Issuer that
such payment requirement has been satisfied. Subject to the foregoing, or unless

SECTION 5.8. LIMITED LIABILITY OF ISSUER. Any obligation or liability of
the Issuer created by or arising out of this Agreement or otherwise incurred in
connection with the issuance of the Bonds (including without limitation any
liability created by or arising out of the representations, warranties or
covenants set forth herein or otherwise) shall not impose a debt or pecuniary
liability upon the Issuer or the State or any political subdivision thereof, or
a charge upon the general credit or taxing powers of any of the foregoing, but
shall be payable solely out of the Revenues or other amounts payable by the
Company to the Issuer hereunder or otherwise.
Neither the issuance of the Bonds nor the delivery of this Agreement
shall, directly or indirectly or contingently, obligate the Issuer or the State
or any political subdivision thereof to levy any form of taxation therefor or to
make any appropriation for their payment. Nothing in the Bonds or in the
Indenture or this Agreement or the proceedings of the Issuer authorizing the
Bonds or in the Act or in any other related document shall be construed to
authorize the Issuer to create a debt of the Issuer or the State or any
political subdivision thereof within the meaning of any constitutional or
statutory provision of the State. The principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest on, the Bonds shall be payable solely from the funds pledged for their
payment in accordance with the Indenture and available therefor under this
Agreement. Neither the State nor any political subdivision thereof shall in any
event be liable for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, the Bonds or for the performance of any pledge, obligation or
agreement of any kind whatsoever which may be undertaken by the Issuer. No
breach of any such pledge, obligation or agreement may impose any pecuniary

the State or any political subdivision thereof.
SECTION 5.9. INSPECTION OF PROJECT. The Company agrees that the Issuer and

ARTICLE VI
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
SECTION 6.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT DEFINED. The following shall be "events of
default" under this Agreement and the terms "event of default" or "default"
shall mean, whenever they are used in this Agreement, any one or more of the
following events:
(a) Failure by the Company to pay when due any amounts required to
be paid under Section 4.2(a) hereof, which failure results in an event of
default under subparagraph (a) or (b) of Section 8.01 of the Indenture; or
-12-
16
(b) Failure by the Company to observe and perform any covenant,
condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed in this
Agreement, other than as referred to in (a) above, for a period of 90 days
after written notice, or in the case of failure by the Company to observe
and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be
observed or performed in Section 4.2(f) hereof, for a period of 30 days
after written notice, specifying such failure and requesting that it be
remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder,
given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by
the Issuer, unless the Issuer and the Trustee shall agree in writing to an
extension of such time prior to its expiration; provided, however, if the
failure stated in the notice cannot be corrected within the applicable
period, the Issuer and the Trustee will not unreasonably withhold their
consent to an extension of such time if corrective action is instituted
within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the failure is
corrected and such corrective action or diligent pursuit is evidenced to
the Trustee by a certificate of an Authorized Company Representative
provided, however, further that such failure (other than a failure to
perform the agreement in Section 5.1 relating to the Company's existence)
is not an Event of Default if it is a result of any cause or event not
reasonably within the Company's control; or
(c) A proceeding or case shall be commenced, without the application
or consent of the Company, in any court of competent jurisdiction seeking
(i) liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding-up or composition or
adjustment of debts, (ii) the appointment of a trustee, receiver,
custodian, liquidator or the like of the Company or of all or any
substantial part of its assets, or (iii) similar relief under any law
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up or
composition or adjustment of debts, and such proceeding or cause shall
continue undismissed, or an order, judgment, or decree approving or
ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered and shall continue in
effect for a period of 90 days; or an order for relief against the Company
shall be entered against the Company in an involuntary case under the
United States Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in effect) or other
applicable law; or
(d) The Company shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due or shall file a petition in voluntary
bankruptcy or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee of
all or substantially all of its property, or shall commence a voluntary
case under the United States Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in
effect), or shall file in any court of competent jurisdiction a petition
seeking to take advantage of any other law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, winding-up or composition or adjustment of
debts, or shall fail to controvert in a timely or appropriate manner, or
acquiesce in writing to, any petition filed against it in an involuntary
case under such United States Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law; or
(e) Dissolution or liquidation of the Company; provided that the
term "dissolution or liquidation of the Company" shall not be construed to
include the
-13-
17
cessation of the corporate existence of the Company resulting either from
a merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another corporation
or a dissolution or liquidation of the Company following a transfer of all
or substantially all of its assets as an entirety, under the conditions
permitting such actions contained in Section 5.1 hereof; or
(f) The occurrence of an "event of default" under the Indenture.
The foregoing provisions of Section 6.1(b) are subject to the following
limitations: If by reason of Force Majeure the Company is unable in whole or in
part to carry out its agreements on its part herein contained, other than the
obligations on the part of the Company contained in Article IV and Sections 5.3
and 6.4 hereof, the Company shall not be deemed in default during the
continuance of such inability. The Company agrees, however, to remedy with all
reasonable dispatch the cause or causes preventing the Company from carrying out
its agreements; provided that the settlement of strikes, lockouts and other
industrial disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the Company
and the Company shall not be required to make settlement of strikes, lockouts
and other industrial disturbances by acceding to the demands of the opposing
party or parties when such course is in the sole judgment of the Company
unfavorable to the Company.
SECTION 6.2. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. Whenever any event of default referred
to in Section 6.1 hereof shall have happened and be continuing, the Trustee, as
assignee of the Issuer:
(a) shall, by notice in writing to the Company, declare the unpaid
indebtedness under Section 4.2(a) hereof to be due and payable
immediately, if concurrently with or prior to such notice the unpaid
principal amount of the Bonds shall have been declared to be due and
payable, and upon any such declaration the same (being an amount
sufficient, together with other moneys available therefor in the Bond
Fund, to pay the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and interest
accrued on, the Bonds) shall become and shall be immediately due and
payable as liquidated damages; and
(b) may take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear
necessary or desirable to collect the payments and other amounts then due
and thereafter to become due hereunder or to enforce performance and
observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the Company under
this Agreement.
Any amounts collected pursuant to action taken under this Section 6.2
shall be paid into the Bond Fund (unless otherwise provided in this Agreement)
and applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. No action taken
pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall relieve the Company from the Company's
obligations pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof.
No recourse shall be had for any claim based on this Agreement against any
officer, director or stockholder, past, present or future, of the Company as
such, either directly or
-14-
18
through the Company, 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.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the Issuer from
enforcing directly any of its rights under the Sections 4.2(d), 4.2(e), 5.3 and
6.4 hereof.
SECTION 6.3. NO REMEDY EXCLUSIVE. No remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Issuer is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy
or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any
right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or
shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to
entitle the Issuer or the Trustee to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this
Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as
may be herein expressly required. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture and
hereof, such rights and remedies as are given the Issuer hereunder shall also
extend to the Trustee. The Owners of the Bonds, subject to the provisions of the
Indenture, shall be entitled to the benefit of all covenants and agreements
herein contained.
SECTION 6.4. AGREEMENT TO PAY FEES AND EXPENSES OF COUNSEL. In the event
the Company should default under any of the provisions of this Agreement and the
Issuer or the Trustee should employ Counsel or incur other expenses for the
collection of the indebtedness hereunder or the enforcement of performance or
observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Company herein
contained, the Company agrees that it will on demand therefor pay to the
Trustee, the Issuer or, if so directed by the Issuer, to the Counsel for the
Issuer, the reasonable fees of such Counsel and such other expenses so incurred
by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Trustee.
SECTION 6.5. NO ADDITIONAL WAIVER IMPLIED BY ONE WAIVER; CONSENTS TO
WAIVERS. In the event any agreement contained in this Agreement should be
breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver
shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to
waive any other breach hereunder. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing
and signed by the party making the waiver. The Issuer shall have no power to
waive any default hereunder by the Company without the consent of the Trustee to
such waiver. The Trustee shall have the power to waive any default by the
Company hereunder, except a default under Section 3.6, 4.2(d), 5.3 or 6.4
hereof, or under Section 4.2(e) hereof in so far as it pertains to the Issuer,
without the prior written concurrence of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if, after the acceleration of the maturity of the outstanding Bonds
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Indenture, (i) all arrears of
principal of and interest on the outstanding Bonds and interest on overdue
principal and (to the extent permitted by law) on overdue installments of
interest at the rate of interest borne by the Bonds on the date on which such
principal or interest became due and payable and the premium, if any, on all
Bonds then Outstanding which have become due and payable otherwise than by
acceleration, and all other sums payable under the Indenture, except the
principal of and the interest on such Bonds which by such
-15-
19
acceleration shall have become due and payable, shall have been paid, (ii) all
other things shall have been performed in respect of which there was a default,
(iii) there shall have been paid the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee
and of the Owners of such Bonds, including reasonable attorneys' fees paid or
incurred and (iv) such event of default under the Indenture shall be waived in
accordance with Section 8.09 of the Indenture with the consequence that such
acceleration under Section 8.02 of the Indenture is rescinded, then the
Company's default hereunder shall be deemed to have been waived and its
consequences rescinded and no further action or consent by the Trustee or the
Issuer shall be required; provided that there has been furnished an opinion of
Bond Counsel to the effect that such waiver will not adversely affect the
exemption from federal income taxes of interest on the Bonds.
