(a) Company (i) is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, (ii) is duly qualified, authorized and licensed to transact business in each jurisdiction wherein failure to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the conduct of its business and (iii) is not in violation of any provision of its Articles of Incorporation, its By-Laws or any laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky relevant to the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection with the issuance of the 2003 Series A Bonds.

(b) Company has full and complete legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Supplemental Indenture and the First Mortgage Bonds to be issued pursuant thereto, and has by proper corporate action duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Supplemental Indenture and the First Mortgage Bonds.

(c) The 1993 Project currently refinanced by application of the proceeds of the Refunded 1993 Bonds was designed and constructed to control, contain, reduce and ▇▇▇▇▇ air and water pollution and implement solid waste abatement, control and disposal at the Project Site. The 1993 Project was and is necessary for the public health and welfare, and is designed for no significant purpose other than the control of air and water pollution and the collection, holding, storage, neutralization and disposal of solid wastes. The 1993 Project constitutes air and water pollution control facilities and solid waste disposal facilities, together with facilities functionally related and subordinate to such facilities under Section 103(b)(4)(E) and (F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and the Act.

(d) All of the proceeds of the 2003 Series A Bonds, exclusively of accrued interest, if any, shall be used on or prior to the 90th day after the date of issuance of the 2003 Series A Bonds exclusively and only to redeem, pay and discharge the principal of the Refunded 1993 Bonds, not less than substantially all of the proceeds of the Refunded 1993 Bonds (i.e., at least 90% of the proceeds thereof, including investment income thereon) (as provided by then-applicable laws when the Original Bonds were issued in 1978, 1979 and 1981) were used to refinance the original Cost of Construction of air and water pollution control facilities and solid waste disposal facilities, together with facilities functionally related and subordinate to such facilities, and all of such air and water pollution control facilities and solid waste disposal facilities consist either of land or of property of a character subject to the allowance for depreciation provided in Section 167 of the Code.

(e) The 1993 Project, as designed, has been previously certified by the Department for Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of Kentucky (now the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet of the Commonwealth of Kentucky) and the Air Pollution Control District of Jefferson County, Kentucky, the agencies exercising jurisdiction in the premises, to be in furtherance of the purpose of abating or controlling atmospheric pollutants or contaminants and water pollution.

(f) The 1993 Project is of the type authorized and permitted by the Act, and the Cost of Construction of the 1993 Project was not less than $128,000,000.

(g) No event of default, and no event of the type described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 9.1 hereof, has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an event of default or a default under any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is or may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is or may be subject which would impair in any material respect its ability to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, the Supplemental Indenture, the First Mortgage Bonds or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Supplemental Indenture, the First Mortgage Bonds, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Indenture, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof conflicts with or results in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of any corporate restriction or any agreement or instrument to which Company is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitutes a default under any of the foregoing, or results in the creation or imposition of any prohibited lien, charge or encumbrance whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of Company under the terms of any instrument or agreement.

As used herein, "yield" shall have the meaning assigned to it for purposes of Section 148 of the Code and applicable tax regulations.

(j) No portion of the proceeds from the sale of the 2003 Series A Bonds will be deposited to the account of any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund or used to pay (i) any costs of issuance of the 2003 Series A Bonds or (ii) any redemption premium or accrued interest on the Refunded 1993 Bonds, but such proceeds will be applied and used solely and exclusively to refund, pay and discharge the outstanding principal amount of the Refunded 1993 Bonds on or prior to the 90th day after the issuance of the 2003 Series A Bonds.

(k) Company will provide any additional moneys, including investment proceeds of the 2003 Series A Bonds, required for the payment and discharge of the Refunded 1993 Bonds, payment of redemption premium, if any, and accrued interest in respect thereto and payment of all underwriting discount and costs of issuance of the 2003 Series A Bonds. Any investment proceeds of the 2003 Series A Bonds shall be used exclusively to pay interest or redemption premium due, if any, on the Refunded 1993 Bonds on the Redemption Date.

(z) The Company has used, is currently using and presently intends to use or operate the 1993 Project in a manner consistent with the purposes of the 1993 Project and the Act until the date on which the 2003 Series A Bonds have been fully paid and knows of no reason why the 1993 Project will not be so operated.

(aa) The proceeds derived from the sale of the 2003 Series A Bonds (other than any accrued interest thereon) will be used exclusively and solely to refund the principal of the Refunded 1993 Bonds. The principal amount of the 2003 Series A Bonds does not exceed the principal amount of the Refunded 1993 Bonds. The redemption of the outstanding principal amount of the Refunded 1993 Bonds with such proceeds of the 2003 Series A Bonds will occur not later than 90 days after the date of issuance of the 2003 Series A Bonds.

Company need not comply with the covenants or representations in this Section if and to the extent that Issuer and Company receive a written opinion of Bond Counsel that such failure to comply will not affect adversely the exclusion of interest on any of the 2003 Series A Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103(a) of the Code.

Section 4.4. Special Arbitrage Certifications.

(b) Company warrants, represents and certifies to Issuer that the proceeds of the 2003 Series A Bonds will not be used in any manner that would cause the 2003 Series A Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" under Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 and other applicable sections of the Code. To the best knowledge and belief of Company, there are no facts, estimates or circumstances that would materially change the foregoing conclusion.

(c) Company hereby covenants that it will at all times comply and cause Issuer to comply with the provisions of Section 148 and other applicable sections of the Code and will restrict the use of the proceeds of the 2003 Series A Bonds, in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary, and remit Excess Earnings with respect to all of the 2003 Series A Bonds, if any, to the United States of America pursuant to Section 148(f)(2) of the Code and carry out such actions so that the 2003 Series A Bonds will not constitute "arbitrage bonds" under Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 of the Code. An officer or officers of Issuer having responsibility with respect to the issuance of the 2003 Series A Bonds is or are hereby authorized and directed to give an appropriate certificate of Issuer, for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings for the 2003 Series A Bonds, setting forth the reasonable expectations of Issuer regarding the amount and use of the proceeds of the 2003 Series A Bonds and the facts, estimates and circumstances on which they are based and related matters, all as of the date of delivery of and payment for the 2003 Series A Bonds pursuant to said Section 148 of the Code.

In the event any such representation of Company relied upon by the Issuer is untrue or inaccurate and Issuer thereby suffers costs or damages, Company shall indemnify Issuer for any such costs or damages.

(d) Consistent with the foregoing, Company covenants and certifies to the Issuer and to and for the benefit of the purchasers of the 2003 Series A Bonds, that no use will be made of the proceeds of the sale of the 2003 Series A Bonds which would cause the 2003 Series A Bonds to be classified as "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 of the Code and that Company and Issuer will, after issuance of the 2003 Series A Bonds, comply with the provisions of the Code at all times, including after the 2003 Series A Bonds are discharged, to the extent Excess Earnings with respect to the 2003 Series A Bonds are required to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to Section 148(f)(2) of the Code.

Company also covenants to take all necessary acts and steps as required to cause Issuer to comply with the provisions of Section 7.03 of the Indenture.

Section 4.5. Opinion of Bond Counsel. Company need not comply with the covenants or representations in Section 4.4 if and to the extent that Issuer and Company (with a copy to Trustee) receive a written opinion of Bond Counsel that such failure to comply will not affect adversely the exclusion of interest on any of the 2003 Series A Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103(a) of the Code.

Section 4.6. First Mortgage Bonds. Company covenants and agrees with Issuer that it will, for the purpose of providing security for the 2003 Series A Bonds, execute and deliver on the date of issuance of the 2003 Series A Bonds, the First Mortgage Bonds to Trustee in aggregate principal amount not less than the aggregate principal amount of the 2003 Series A Bonds.

All of the First Mortgage Bonds shall be registered in the name of Trustee and shall be non-transferable, except to effect transfers to any successor trustee under the Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the Release Date, the obligation of the Company to make payment with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the First Mortgage Bonds shall be deemed satisfied and discharged as provided in the Supplemental Indenture and the First Mortgage Bonds shall cease to secure in any manner the 2003 Series A Bonds. As a result, on the Release Date, the obligations under this Agreement shall become unsecured general obligations of the Company, subject, however to Section 7.9.

The Company shall notify the Issuer and the Trustee in writing promptly upon the occurrence of the Release Date. Upon receiving written notice of the Release Date from the Company, the Trustee shall deliver for cancellation to the First Mortgage Trustee all of the First Mortgage Bonds.

In the event Company shall fail to pay any of the foregoing items required by this Section to be paid by Company, Issuer or Trustee may (but shall be under no obligation to) pay the same and any amounts so advanced therefor by Issuer or Trustee shall become an additional obligation of Company to the one making the advancement, which amounts, together with interest thereon Company agrees to pay at a rate which shall be one percent above the lowest minimum lending rate publicly quoted at such time as being charged by any commercial bank which is a member of the New York Clearing House on ninety-day commercial loans to its prime commercial borrowers or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lesser, until paid; provided, however, that no such advancement shall operate to relieve the Company from any default hereunder.

(a) Failure by the Company to pay any amount required to be paid under subsections (a) and (d) of Section 5.1 hereof which results in failure to pay principal of, premium or interest on or the purchase price of the 2003 Series A Bonds, and such failure shall cause an event of default under the Indenture.

Section 9.2. Remedies on Default. Whenever any event of default referred to in Section 9.l hereof shall have happened and be continuing, Issuer may take any one or more of the following remedial steps:

(a) By written notice to Company, Issuer may declare an amount equal to the principal and accrued interest on the 2003 Series A Bonds then Outstanding, as defined in the Indenture, to be immediately due and payable under this Agreement, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable.

(b) Issuer may have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of the books and records and any and all accounts, data and income tax and other tax returns of Company.

(c) Issuer may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to collect the amounts then due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of Company under this Agreement, including, until the Release Date, any remedies available in respect of the First Mortgage Bonds.

In case there shall be pending a proceeding of the nature described in Section 9.1(d) or (e) above, Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount owing and unpaid pursuant to this Agreement and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Trustee allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to Company, its creditors or its property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of its charges and expenses; and any custodian (including, without limitation a receiver, trustee or liquidator) of Company appointed in connection with such proceedings is hereby authorized to make such payments to Trustee, and to pay to Trustee any amount due it for compensation and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses incurred by it up to the date of such distribution.

Any amounts collected pursuant to action taken under this Section 9.2 (other than the compensation and expenses referred to in the immediately prior sentence) shall be paid into the Bond Fund and applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture or, if the 2003 Series A Bonds have been fully paid (or provision for payment thereof has been made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture) and all reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of Trustee and any paying agents accrued and to accrue through final payment of the 2003 Series A Bonds, and all other liabilities of Company accrued and to accrue hereunder or under the Indenture through final payment of the 2003 Series A Bonds have been paid, such amounts so collected shall be paid to Company.

Section 9.3. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to 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 default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle Issuer to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice other than such notice as may be herein expressly required. Such rights and remedies as are given Issuer hereunder shall also extend to Trustee, and Trustee and the holders of the 2003 Series A Bonds, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, shall be entitled to the benefit of all covenants and agreements herein contained.

Section 9.4. Agreement to Pay Attorneys' Fees and Expenses. In the event Company should default under any of the provisions of this Agreement and Issuer and/or Trustee should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of amounts payable hereunder or the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of Company herein contained, Company agrees that it will on demand therefor pay to Issuer and/or Trustee the reasonable fees and expenses of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by Issuer and/or Trustee.

Section 9.5. Waiver of Events of Default. If, after the acceleration of the maturity of the outstanding 2003 Series A Bonds by Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, and before any judgment or decree for the appointment of a receiver or for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered, Company shall cause to be deposited with Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all 2003 Series A Bonds and the principal of, and premium, if any, on any and all 2003 Series A Bonds which shall have become due otherwise than by reason of such declaration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum which is one percent above the highest rate borne by any 2003 Series A Bond, until paid), and such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover all expenses of Trustee in connection with such default, and all defaults under the Indenture and this Agreement, other than nonpayment of principal of 2003 Series A Bonds which shall have become due by said declaration, shall have been remedied, and such event of default under the Indenture shall be deemed waived by Trustee in accordance with Section 9.12 of the Indenture with the consequence that under the Indenture such acceleration is rescinded, then Company's default hereunder shall be deemed to have been waived by Issuer and no further action or consent by Trustee or Issuer shall be required. In the event any agreement or covenant 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.

In the case of prepayment pursuant to this Section 10.l (or if any 2003 Series A Bonds be redeemed in whole or in part pursuant to Section 6.l hereof), the Loan prepayment price shall be a sum sufficient, together with other funds deposited with Trustee and available for such purpose, to redeem all 2003 Series A Bonds then outstanding (or, in the case any 2003 Series A Bonds are redeemed in part pursuant to Section 6.l hereof, such portion of the Bonds then outstanding) under the Indenture at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued and to accrue to the date of redemption of the 2003 Series A Bonds and to pay all reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of Trustee and any Paying Agents and all other liabilities of Company accrued and to accrue hereunder to the date of redemption of the 2003 Series A Bonds.

The Issuer and Company shall take all actions required to mandatorily redeem the 2003 Series A Bonds at the cost of the Company upon the terms specified in this Agreement and in Article IV of the Indenture following the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability, including, but not limited to, prepaying appropriate amounts due on the 2003 Series A Bonds in order to effect such redemption. The 2003 Series A Bonds shall be redeemed by the Issuer, in whole, or in such part as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, without redemption premium, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date, within 180 days following a Determination of Taxability. For purposes of this section, a “Determination of Taxability” shall mean the receipt by the Trustee of written notice from a current or former registered owner of a 2003 Series A Bond or from the Company or the Issuer of (i) the issuance of a published or private ruling or a technical advice memorandum by the Internal Revenue Service in which the Company participated or has been given the opportunity to participate, and which ruling or memorandum the Company, in its discretion, does not contest or from which no further right of administrative or judicial review or appeal exists, or (ii) a final determination from which no further right of appeal exists of any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States in a proceeding in which the Company has participated or has been a party, or has been given the opportunity to participate or be a party, in each case, to the effect that as a result of a failure by the Company to perform or observe any covenant or agreement or the inaccuracy of any representation contained in this Agreement or any other agreement or certificate delivered in connection with the 2003 Series A Bonds, the interest on the 2003 Series A Bonds is included in the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, other than with respect to a person who is a “substantial user” or a “related person” of a substantial user within the meaning of the Section 147 of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); provided, however, that no such Determination of Taxability shall be considered to exist as a result of the Trustee receiving notice from a current or former registered owner of a 2003 Series A Bond or from the Issuer unless (i) the Issuer or the registered owner or former registered owner of the 2003 Series A Bond involved in such proceeding or action (A) gives the Company and the Trustee prompt notice of the commencement thereof, and (B) (if the Company agrees to pay all expenses in connection therewith) offers the Company the opportunity to control unconditionally the defense thereof, and (ii) either (A) the Company does not agree within 30 days of receipt of such offer to pay such expenses and liabilities and to control such defense, or (B) the Company shall exhaust or choose not to exhaust all available proceedings for the contest, review, appeal or rehearing of such decree, judgment or action which the Company determines to be appropriate. No Determination of Taxability described above will result from the inclusion of interest on any 2003 Series A Bond in the computation of minimum or indirect taxes. All of the 2003 Series A Bonds shall be redeemed upon a Determination of Taxability as described above unless, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, redemption of a portion of the 2003 Series A Bonds of one or more series or one or more maturities would have the result that interest payable on the remaining 2003 Series A Bonds outstanding after the redemption would not be so included in any such gross income.

In the event any of the Issuer, the Company or the Trustee has been put on notice or becomes aware of the existence or pendency of any inquiry, audit or other proceedings relating to the 2003 Series A Bonds being conducted by the Internal Revenue Service, the party so put on notice shall give immediate written notice to the other parties of such matters.

Promptly upon learning of the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability (whether or not the same is being contested), or any of the events described in this Section 10.3, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Trustee and the Issuer.

In the case of the mandatory obligation of Company to prepay the Loan or any part thereof after the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability, Company shall be obligated to prepay such Loan or such part thereof not later than 180 days after any such final determination as specified in this Section 10.3 hereof and to provide to Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund an amount sufficient, together with other funds deposited with the Trustee and available for such purpose, to redeem such 2003 Series A Bonds at the price of 100% of the principal amount thereof in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof plus interest accrued and to accrue to the date of redemption of the 2003 Series A Bonds and to pay all reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of Trustee and any paying agents and all other liabilities of Company accrued and to accrue hereunder to the date of redemption of the 2003 Series A Bonds.

Section 10.4. Notice of Prepayment; Redemption Procedures. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that in order to exercise an option granted in, or to consummate a mandatory prepayment required by, this Article X, Company shall give written notice to Issuer and Trustee which notice shall (i) contain the agreement of Company to deposit moneys in the Bond Fund on or before the redemption date in an amount sufficient to redeem a principal amount of the 2003 Series A Bonds equal to the amount of the prepayment, including, in the case of a prepayment under Section 10.2 hereof, any applicable redemption premium in respect of such 2003 Series A Bonds, and any other amounts required under this Agreement and (ii) specify the prepayment date (which must be a Business Day and which shall also be the redemption date), which date shall not be less than 30 days (45 days if the 2003 Series A Bonds are bearing interest at the Semi-annual, Annual or Long Term Rate or in all cases such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee) nor more than 90 days from the date the notice is mailed by Company to Issuer and Trustee.

Section 10.5. Relative Position of this Article and Indenture. The rights and options granted to Company in this Article, except the option granted to Company pursuant to Section 10.2 to prepay less than all of the Loan payments, shall be and remain prior and superior to the Indenture and may be exercised whether or not Company is otherwise in default hereunder; provided that such default will not result in nonfulfillment of any condition to the exercise of any such right or option.

Section 10.6. Concurrent Discharge of First Mortgage Bonds. Prior to the Release Date, in the event any of the 2003 Series A Bonds shall be paid and discharged pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement, so that same are not thereafter Outstanding, as the term "Outstanding" is defined in the Indenture, a like principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds shall be deemed fully paid and the obligations of Company thereunder terminated. Thereupon, Trustee shall deliver to First Mortgage Trustee such like principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Indenture.
