(iv) In case any officer whose manual or facsimile signature shall appear on any Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery thereof, such manual or facsimile signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if he or she had remained in office until after such delivery.

(v) The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America which, at the respective dates of payment thereof, is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, and such principal and premium, if any, shall be payable at the Principal Office of the Paying Agent or its successor in trust. Payment of interest on any Interest Payment Date on any Bond shall be made to the Bondowner thereof as of the close of business on the Record Date immediately prior thereto and shall be made (A) by check mailed on the Interest Payment Date to such Bondowner at his address as it appears on the registration books of the Authority or at such other address as is furnished the Paying Agent in writing by such Bondowner not later than the close of business on the Record Date immediately prior to an Interest Payment Date, or (B) transmitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the accounts with commercial banks located within the United States of America of those Bondowners holding Bonds of a series in the principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 and which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on such Record Date, except, in each case, that, if and to the extent that there shall be a default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Bondowners in whose names any such Bonds are registered at the close of business on the fifth (5th) Business Day next preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest.

(vi) None of the Bonds issued under this Agreement, including the Series 2002 Bonds, nor any of the principal, premium, if any, and interest thereon shall be deemed to constitute a debt, liability or obligation of the State of Florida or any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, including, without limitation, the Authority and Hillsborough County. Neither the Authority, Hillsborough County nor the State of Florida or

any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, shall be obligated to pay any Bond, or the principal, premium, if any, or interest thereon except from the payments from the Company, and neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of any authority or county, including without limitation the Authority and Hillsborough County, or of the State of Florida or any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Bond.

(c) Form of Bonds. Except to the extent otherwise specified in an agreement supplemental hereto specify in the terms of a series, the Bonds shall be issued in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto with appropriate modifications to reflect the interest rate of the Bonds in effect from time to time.

(d) Registration of Bonds in the Book-Entry Only System.

(i) The provisions of this Subsection 301(d) shall apply with respect to any Bond registered to CEDE & CO. or any other nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) while the Book-Entry Only System (meaning the system of registration described in paragraph (ii) of this Subsection 301(d)) is in effect.

(ii) The Bonds shall be issued in the form of separate single authenticated fully registered Bonds in substantially the form provided for in Subsection 301(c) and in the amount of each separate stated maturity of such Bonds. On the date of original delivery thereof, the Bonds shall be registered in the registry books of the Registrar in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of DTC as agent for the Authority in maintaining the Book-Entry Only System. With respect to Bonds registered in the registry books kept by the Registrar in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of DTC, the Authority, the Paying Agent, the Company and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant (which means securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and various other entities, some of whom or their representatives own DTC) or to any Beneficial Owner (which means, when used with reference to the Book-Entry Only System, the Person who is considered the beneficial owner of the Bonds pursuant to the arrangements for book entry determination of ownership applicable to DTC) with respect to the following: (A) the accuracy of the records of DTC, CEDE & CO. or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (B) the delivery to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other Person, other than DTC, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (C) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other Person, other than DTC, of any amount with respect to the principal or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. The Paying Agent shall pay all principal and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of DTC, and all such payments shall be valid and effective fully to satisfy and discharge the Authority’s obligations with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No Person other than DTC shall receive an authenticated Bond evidencing the obligation of the Authority to make payments of principal and premium, if any, and interest pursuant to this Agreement. Upon delivery by DTC to the Trustee of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of CEDE & CO., the words “CEDE & CO.” in this Agreement shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.

(iii) Upon receipt by the Trustee and the Authority of written notice from DTC to the effect that DTC is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities, the Paying Agent shall issue, transfer and exchange Bonds as requested by DTC in appropriate amounts, and whenever DTC requests the Authority, the Paying Agent and the Trustee to do so, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Authority will, at the expense of the Company, cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice (A) to arrange for a substitute bond depository willing and able upon reasonable and customary terms to maintain custody of the Bonds or (B) to make available Bonds registered in whatever name or names the Bondowners transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate.

(iv) In the event the Company determines that the Beneficial Owners should be able to obtain Bond certificates, the Company may so notify DTC, the Paying Agent and the Trustee, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event, the Paying Agent shall issue, transfer and exchange Bond certificates as requested by DTC in appropriate amounts and in authorized denominations. Whenever DTC requests the Paying Agent to do so, the Paying Agent will cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to make available Bonds registered in whatever name or names the Beneficial Owners transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate.

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the blanket letter of representation from the Authority to DTC dated June 1, 1997.

(vi) Notwithstanding any provision in Section 302 to the contrary, so long as all of the Bonds Outstanding are held in the Book-Entry Only System, if less than all of such Bonds of any one maturity are to be redeemed upon any redemption of Bonds hereunder, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds of such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by DTC in such manner as DTC may determine.

(e) Conditions for Issuance of Additional Bonds. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company and, at the request of the Company, the Authority and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental agreement providing for the issuance of a series of Bonds in addition to the Series 2002 Bonds or additional Series 2002 Bonds; and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery of such Bonds upon receipt of the following:

(i) a copy of the Bond Resolution of the Authority approving the issuance of the Bonds of such series;

(ii) an executed supplemental agreement;

(iii) an opinion of counsel to the Company which shall state that such supplemental agreement is the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles;

(iv) an opinion of counsel for the Authority stating that the issuance of such Bonds has been duly authorized, and that all conditions precedent to the delivery of such Bonds have been fulfilled, and that such Bonds, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such opinion of counsel, are valid and binding obligations of the Authority enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and

(v) an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that the issuance of such Bonds and the application of such additional proceeds of such Bonds for the purpose or purposes described in the Bond Resolution described in subparagraph (i) of this section will not cause the interest on any Bonds theretofore issued under this Agreement and then outstanding to become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes and that the interest on such Bonds will not be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Notwithstanding that such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Bonds if the issue of such Bonds pursuant to this Indenture would adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Bonds and this Agreement or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

(f) Authentication. No Bond shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Bond a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Bond has been fully authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

Section 302. Redemption of the Bonds.

(a) Optional Redemption. The provisions as to redemption of the Bonds of a series other than the Series 2002 Bonds shall be specified in the agreement supplemental hereto specifying the terms of the Bonds of such series.

(b) Special Mandatory Redemption Upon Taxability. If, as a result of the failure of the Company to observe any covenant, agreement or representation in this Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction or any administrative agency finally determines (such determination not to be considered final unless the Company has been given written notice and, if it so desires, has been afforded an opportunity, at the Company’s expense, to contest, either directly or in the name of any holder of a Bond, any such determination or until the conclusion of any appellate review if sought by the Company) that the interest payable on any Bond is includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the IRC, of any Bondowner (other than a “substantial user” of the Project or a “related person,” as defined in the IRC), the Bonds shall be subject to special mandatory redemption prior to

maturity, as a whole, or in part if such partial redemption will preserve the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the remaining Bonds outstanding (and if in part, to be selected by the Paying Agent or by DTC, as applicable, by lot or in any other customary manner as determined by the Paying Agent or by DTC, as applicable) at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to the redemption date, without premium. The Company will give notice to the Authority and the Paying Agent in writing of the amount of Bonds to be redeemed and of the date selected for such redemption not later than 90 days after the date of such final determination, such redemption date to be not more than 180 days after the date of such final determination.

(c) Extraordinary Optional Redemption. The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the Company, by notice to the Trustee and the Authority, in whole, at any time, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the outstanding Bonds, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption, without premium, on any date selected by the Company, but not less than 45 days after nor more than 180 days after the Company shall have given notice of its exercise of the right to make such prepayment. The Company may exercise its right to cause the Bonds to be redeemed at its option, if

(i) in the opinion of the Company, the continued operation by the Company of all or substantially all of the Units is impracticable, uneconomical or undesirable due to (A) the imposition of taxes or other liabilities or burdens not being imposed as of the date of the Bonds, (B) changes in technology or in the economic availability of raw materials or operating supplies or equipment or (C) destruction of or damage to all or a substantial portion of such Units; provided, however, that the Company may not exercise its right to redeem the Series 2002 Bonds for reasons described in this clause (i) if any portion of the redemption price is to be paid from the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds;

(ii) all or substantially all of the Units shall have been condemned or taken by eminent domain;

(iii) the operation by the Company of all or substantially all of the Units shall have been enjoined and the Company shall have been prevented from carrying on normal operations at such Units for a period of six months or more; or

(iv) in the event the First Mortgage Bonds have been issued, all or substantially all the mortgaged and pledged property constituting bondable property (as defined in the First Mortgage) which at the time shall be subject to the lien of the First Mortgage as a first lien shall be released from the lien of the First Mortgage pursuant to the provisions thereof, and available moneys in the hands of the trustee or trustees at the time serving as such under the First Mortgage, including any moneys deposited by the Company available for the purpose, are sufficient to redeem all the first mortgage bonds of all series issued pursuant to the First Mortgage at the redemption prices (together with accrued interest to the date of redemption) specified therein applicable to the redemption thereof upon the happening of such event.

For purposes of clause (i) of this Subsection 303(c), the “opinion of the Company” shall be expressed to the Authority and the Trustee by delivery of a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Executive Committee thereof stating that it is the

opinion of said Board of Directors or Executive Committee that the circumstances, situations or conditions described in subclause (A), (B) or (C) of such clause (i) exist to the extent required for the Company to exercise the option provided.

(d) Payment of Redemption Price and Accrued Interest. Whenever Bonds are called for redemption, the accrued interest thereon shall become due on the redemption date and shall be paid from the Debt Service Fund to the extent available therein. To the extent not otherwise provided, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent prior to the redemption date a sufficient sum to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Bonds.

(e) Notice of Redemption.

(i) Notice of the call for any redemption of Bonds or any portion thereof (which shall be in Authorized Denominations, except as provided in Section 302(b)) pursuant to this Section 302 shall be given by the Trustee in the name of the Authority by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first-class mail to the owner of any Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part at the address shown on the registration books. Such notice shall (i) identify the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed and the CUSIP number of such Bonds, (ii) specify the redemption date, the redemption price, and the place and manner of payment and (iii) state that such Bonds will be redeemed at the designated corporate trust office of the Paying Agent, and that from the redemption date interest will cease to accrue. Unless otherwise provided in an agreement supplemental hereto with respect to any series of Bonds, such notice of redemption shall be given at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the owners of Bonds to be redeemed; provided, however, that failure to duly give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of Bonds with respect to which no such failure or defect occurred. Upon presentation and surrender of Bonds so called for redemption in whole or in part at the place or places of payment, such Bonds or portions thereof shall be redeemed.

(ii) Any notice mailed as provided in this section shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Bondowner receives the notice.

(f) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If less than all of the outstanding Bonds are to be called for redemption, the portion of the Bonds to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot or in any customary manner as determined by the Trustee; provided, however, that for so long as DTC or its nominee is Bondowner of such Bonds, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed shall be selected by DTC, in such manner as DTC may determine.

(g) Partial Redemption of Bonds.

(i) In case a Bond is of a denomination in excess of the minimum Authorized Denomination, all or a portion of such Bond may be redeemed provided the principal amount not being redeemed is in an Authorized Denomination.

(ii) Upon surrender of any Bond for redemption in part only, the Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the owner thereof, without cost to the Bondowner, a new Bond or Bonds of Authorized Denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond surrendered.

Section 303. Application of Bond Proceeds. Upon the receipt of the proceeds of the initial sale of each series of Bonds, other than the Series 2002 Bonds, including accrued interest, if any, the Authority shall make payments from such proceeds as specified in the agreement supplemental hereto with respect to such series of Bonds.

Section 304. Debt Service Fund.

(a) A Debt Service Fund is hereby established and maintained by the Trustee if the Trustee also serves as the Paying Agent, and otherwise the Debt Service Fund shall be established and maintained by the Paying Agent, and moneys shall be deposited therein as provided in this Agreement. Accrued interest, if any, received upon the sale of Bonds shall be deposited in the Debt Service Fund. The moneys in, and any investment held as part of, the Debt Service Fund shall be held in trust and, except as otherwise provided, shall be applied solely to the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds. If at any time the amount deposited by the Company in the Debt Service Fund with respect to payments currently due pursuant to Section 308 is in excess of the amount required to be so deposited, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as appropriate, shall, upon the request of the Company, transfer such excess to the Company unless there is then an Event of Default known to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as appropriate, with respect to payments to the Debt Service Fund or to the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Authority, in which case the excess shall be applied to such payments.

(b) The Company shall deposit moneys into the Debt Service Fund for the payment of Bonds in immediately available funds at the opening of business on the date on which the payment is required to be made hereunder.

Section 305. Redemption Fund.

(a) A Redemption Fund is hereby established and maintained by the Trustee if the Trustee also serves as the Paying Agent, and otherwise the Redemption Fund shall be established and maintained by the Paying Agent, and moneys shall be deposited therein as provided in this Agreement. The moneys in the Redemption Fund and any investments held as a part of such Fund shall be held in trust and, except as otherwise provided, shall be applied by the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as appropriate, on behalf of the Authority solely to the redemption of Bonds. The Trustee or the Paying Agent, as appropriate, may, and upon written direction of the Company for specific purchases shall, apply moneys in the Redemption Fund to the purchase of Bonds for cancellation at prices not exceeding the price at which they are then redeemable (or next redeemable if they are not then redeemable), but not within the forty-five (45) days preceding a redemption date. Accrued interest on the purchase of Bonds shall be paid by the Company.

(b) If on any date the amount in the Debt Service Fund is less than the amount then required to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest then due on the Bonds, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as appropriate, shall transfer the amount in the Redemption Fund (other than any sum irrevocably set aside for the redemption of particular Bonds or required to

purchase Bonds under outstanding purchase contracts) to the Debt Service Fund to the extent necessary to meet the deficiency. The Company shall remain liable for any sums that it has not paid into the Debt Service Fund and any subsequent payment thereof shall be used to restore the funds transferred from the Redemption Fund to satisfy such deficiency.

(c) If any moneys in the Redemption Fund are invested in accordance with this Agreement and a loss results therefrom so that there are insufficient funds to pay the redemption price of Bonds called for redemption in accordance with this Agreement, then the Company shall immediately supply the deficiency.

Section 306. First Mortgage Bond Fund. A First Mortgage Bond Fund is hereby established with the Trustee. There shall be deposited to the credit of the First Mortgage Bond Fund all payments, if any, made on the First Mortgage Bonds, if any. The moneys in the First Mortgage Bond Fund shall be held by the Trustee in trust and applied first to the amounts which the Company may be required to pay to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as appropriate, for deposit in the Debt Service Fund and the balance, if any, shall be transferred to the Redemption Fund and, pending such application, shall be subject to a lien and charge in favor of the Bondowners.

Section 307. Application of Moneys. If available moneys in the Debt Service Fund after any required transfers from the Redemption Fund are not sufficient on any day to pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Bonds then due or overdue, such moneys (other than any sum in the Redemption Fund irrevocably set aside for the redemption of particular Bonds or required to purchase Bonds under outstanding purchase contracts) shall, after payment of all charges and disbursements of the Trustee and Paying Agent in accordance with this Agreement, be applied (in the order such Funds are named in this section) first to the payment of interest (other than interest on Bonds owned by the Company), including interest on overdue principal, in the order in which the same became due (pro rata with respect to interest which became due at the same time) and second to the payment of principal and premium, if any (other than principal of or premiums, if any, on Bonds owned by the Company), without regard to the order in which the same became due (in proportion to the amounts due). For this purpose interest on overdue principal shall be treated as coming due on the first day of each month. Whenever moneys are to be applied pursuant to this section, such moneys shall so be applied from time to time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent 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 or the Paying Agent shall apply such moneys pursuant to this section, it shall fix the date (which shall be the first of a month unless the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall deem another date more suitable) upon which such application is to be made, and upon such date interest on the amounts of principal paid on such date shall cease to accrue. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall give such notice as it may deem appropriate of the fixing of any such date. When interest or a portion of the principal is to be paid on an overdue Bond, the Paying Agent may require presentation of the Bond for endorsement of the payment.

Section 308. Payments by the Company.

(a) Debt Service.

(i) Not later than the opening of business on the Business Day on which a payment of principal or interest is due, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as appropriate, for deposit in the Debt Service Fund an amount available on such payment date equal to such payment less the amount, if any, in the Debt Service Fund and available therefor.

(ii) The payments to be made under the foregoing subsection shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the date of issue of Bonds, accrued interest deposited in the Debt Service Fund, if any, and any purchase or redemption of Bonds so that there will be available on each payment date in the Debt Service Fund the amount necessary to pay the interest and principal due or coming due on the Bonds and so that accrued interest will be applied to the installments of interest to which it is applicable.

(iii) At any time when any principal of the Bonds is overdue, the Company shall also have a continuing obligation to pay to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as appropriate, for deposit in the Debt Service Fund an amount equal to interest on the overdue principal but the installment payments required under this section shall not otherwise bear interest. Premiums, if any, shall not bear interest.

(iv) Payments by the Company to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as appropriate, for deposit in the Debt Service Fund under this Agreement shall discharge the obligation of the Company to the extent of such payments; provided, that if any moneys are invested in accordance with this Agreement and a loss results therefrom so that there are insufficient funds to pay principal and interest on the Bonds when due, the Company shall supply the deficiency.

(b) Additional Payments.

(i) Within thirty (30) days after notice from the Authority, the Company shall pay to the Authority all its reasonable costs and expenses (except general administrative expenses or overhead) incurred by the Authority relating to the issuance of the Bonds, and for any continuing duties or obligations of the Authority relating to the Bonds, this Agreement or any other documents executed in connection therewith, including any audit or any modification, amendment or interpretation of this Agreement or the Bonds.

(ii) Within thirty (30) days after notice from the Trustee, the Company shall pay to the Trustee its reasonable fees and expenses as set forth in Section 802 of this Agreement.

(iii) Within thirty (30) days after notice from any Paying Agent, the Company shall pay to the Paying Agent its reasonable fees and expenses, as set forth in Section 802 of this Agreement.

(iv) Within thirty (30) days after notice from the Registrar, the Company shall pay to the Registrar its reasonable fees and expenses as set forth in Section 802 of this Agreement.

Section 309. Unconditional Obligation. To the extent permitted by law, the obligation of the Company to make payments to the Authority, the Paying Agent and the Trustee under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be binding and enforceable in all circumstances whatsoever, shall not be subject to setoff, recoupment or counterclaim and shall be a general obligation of the Company to which the full faith and credit of the Company are pledged.

Section 310. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Bonds. In the event any Bond or temporary Bond is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent may authenticate a new Bond duly executed by the Authority 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 Paying Agent, and in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Bond, there shall be first furnished to the Paying Agent evidence of such loss, theft or destruction satisfactory to the Paying Agent, together with indemnity to the Authority and the Paying Agent satisfactory to them. In the event any such Bond shall have matured, instead of issuing a duplicate Bond, the Paying Agent on behalf of the Authority may pay the same without surrender thereof. The Authority and the Paying Agent may charge the Bondowner with their reasonable fees and expenses in this connection. The Authority shall cooperate with the Paying Agent in connection with the issue of replacement Bonds, but nothing in this section shall be construed in derogation of any rights which the Authority, the Company or the Paying Agent may have to receive indemnification against liability, or payment or reimbursement of expenses, in connection with the issue of a replacement Bond. All Bonds shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are, to the extent permitted by law, exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds, and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies.

Section 311. Temporary Bonds. Pending preparation of definitive Bonds of any series, or by agreement with the purchasers of all Bonds of any series, the Authority may issue and, upon its request, the Paying Agent shall authenticate, in lieu of definitive Bonds, one or more temporary printed or typewritten Bonds in Authorized Denominations of substantially the tenor recited above. Upon request of the Authority, the Paying Agent shall authenticate definitive Bonds in exchange for any temporary Bonds upon surrender of an equal principal amount of temporary Bonds. Until so exchanged, temporary Bonds shall have the same rights, remedies and security hereunder as definitive Bonds.

Section 312. Cancellation and Disposition of Bonds. All Bonds paid or redeemed, either at or before maturity shall be delivered to the Paying Agent when such payment or redemption is made, and such Bonds, together with all Bonds purchased by the Paying Agent and all Bonds surrendered in any exchanges or transfers, shall thereupon be promptly canceled. Bonds so canceled shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures.

Section 313. Refunding Bonds. The Authority may issue, and expressly reserves the right to issue, to the extent permitted by law, refunding bonds under another indenture to refund all or any principal amount of the Bonds of any series; provided, however, that the net proceeds of any such bonds used to refund all or any principal amount of the Bonds of such series shall be paid directly to the Trustee for the Bondowners and shall not come into the possession or control of the Company.

(d) Appointment of Receiver. A trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official or agent shall be appointed for the Company or for any substantial part of its property and such trustee or receiver shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days.

(g) Other. The occurrence of any other Event of Default provided with respect to Bonds of that series in an agreement supplemental hereto.

Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default applicable to one or more series of Bonds described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (g) of the preceding paragraph and further upon the condition that if any First Mortgage Bonds shall have been delivered, all first mortgage bonds outstanding under the First Mortgage shall have become immediately due and payable in accordance with the terms of the First Mortgage, the Trustee may, and at the written request of

Bondowners of not less than 25% in principal amount of Bonds of an affected series then outstanding shall, by written notice to the Authority and to the Company declare the Bonds of such series to be immediately due and payable, whereupon, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as specified in clauses (e) and (f) of the preceding paragraph without any further notice or action by the Trustee or the Authority, the Bonds of such series shall, without further action, become and be immediately due and payable, any provisions hereof or the Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Trustee shall give notice of acceleration to the Authority and the Paying Agent, and shall give notice thereof by mail to the Bondowners of such series.

The provisions of the preceding paragraph, however, are subject to the condition that if, after the principal of the Bonds of a series shall have been so declared to be due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company or the Authority shall cause to be deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all Bonds of such series and the principal of any and all Bonds of such series which shall have become due otherwise than by reason of such declaration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent permissible by law, on overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum specified herein) and such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses payable to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, and all Events of Default hereunder other than nonpayment of the principal of Bonds which shall have become due by said declaration shall have been remedied, then, in every such case, such Event of Default shall be deemed waived and such declaration and its consequences rescinded and annulled, and the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such waiver, rescission or annulment to the Authority, the Company and the Paying Agent, and shall give notice thereof to the Bondowners of such series; but no such waiver, rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon; provided, however, that if any First Mortgage Bonds shall have been delivered in connection with the Bonds of a series, any waiver of “default” under the First Mortgage and a rescission and annulment of its consequences shall constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under this Agreement and a rescission and annulment of the consequences thereof, and the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such waiver, rescission and annulment to the Authority and the Company, and notice to the Bondowners of such series in the same manner as a notice of redemption under Section 302; but no such waiver, rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.

Section 1002. Trustee May Institute Suits. Upon the happening of any Event of Default applicable to one or more series of Bonds, the Trustee shall have the power to, but unless requested in writing by the holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of such series then outstanding and furnished with satisfactory security and indemnity shall be under no obligation to, institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may be advised by Counsel shall be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security under this Agreement and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may be advised by Counsel shall be necessary or expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Bondowners.

Section 1003. Remedies on Events of Default.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default applicable to one or more series of the Bonds and the giving of satisfactory indemnification under Section 801, the Trustee may proceed to pursue any available remedy to enforce the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds of such series then outstanding, including, without limitation, suits, actions or special proceedings in equity or at law and as the holder of First Mortgage Bonds, if any.

(b) Upon the happening and continuance of any Event of Default applicable to one or more series of the Bonds, then and in every case the Trustee may proceed, and upon the written request of the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of such series then outstanding and the giving of satisfactory indemnification under Section 801 shall proceed, to protect and enforce its rights, and by suits, actions or special proceedings in equity or at law, or by proceedings in the office of any board or officer having jurisdiction, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted herein or for the enforcement of any legal or equitable right or remedy as the Trustee, being advised by Counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights or to perform any of its duties under this Agreement.

(c) If an Event of Default applicable to one or more series of the Bonds shall have occurred, and if requested to do so by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of such series then outstanding and satisfactorily indemnified, the Trustee shall be obligated to exercise such one or more of the rights and powers conferred by this section and by Section 1002 and 1005 as the Trustee, being advised by Counsel, shall deem most expedient in the interest of the Bondowners of such series.

(d) No remedy by the terms of this Agreement conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee (or to the Bondowners) is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given to the Trustee or to the Bondowners hereunder or now or hereafter existing by law.

(e) No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

(f) No waiver of any default or Event of Default hereunder, whether by the Trustee or by the Bondowners, shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or shall impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon.

proceedings hereunder; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of law or of this Agreement and shall not, in the opinion of the Trustee, unduly prejudice the rights of Bondowners who are not in such majority. The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds.

Section 1005. Receiver for the Revenues of the Authority From the Project. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default applicable to one or more series of the Bonds, and upon the filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce the rights of the Trustee and of the Bondowners, the Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Revenues of the Authority from the Project, pending such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, to the extent permitted by law.

The balance of such money, after providing for the foregoing, shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Debt Service Fund and all money in the Debt Service 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 money 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 maturity of the installments of such interest 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

(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 Section 1010, then subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this section in the event that the principal of all the Bonds shall later become due or be declared due and payable, the money shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Whenever money is 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 money available for application and the likelihood of additional money 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 date shall cease to accrue. The Trustee shall give such notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with it of any such money and of the fixing of any such date, and shall not be required to make payment to the holder of any Bond until such Bond shall be presented to the Trustee for appropriate endorsement or for cancellation if fully paid.

(e) Whenever all the Bonds and interest thereon have been paid under the provisions of this Section 1006 and all expenses and charges of the Trustee and the Authority have been paid, any balance remaining in the Debt Service Fund and in the Redemption Fund shall be paid as provided in Section 903.

Section 1007. Trustee as Representative of the Bondowners. All rights of action (including the right to file proofs of claim under this Agreement 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 proceedings relating thereto, and any such suit or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name as Trustee without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any Bondowners. Any recovery of judgment shall be for the equal and ratable benefit of the Bondowners.

Section 1008. Enforcement by Bondowners.

(a) No Bondowners shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding for the enforcement of any covenant or provisions of this Agreement or for the appointment of a receiver or any other remedy thereunder, unless (i) a default relating to one or more series of Bonds has occurred of which the Trustee has been notified as provided in subsection (h) of Section 801, or of which by said subsection it is deemed to have notice; (ii) such default shall have become an Event of Default; (iii) the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds of such series then outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee and shall have offered reasonable opportunity either to proceed to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted or to institute such action, suit or proceeding in the Trustee’s name and shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee as provided in Section 801; and (iv) the Trustee shall thereafter fail or refuse to exercise the powers

hereinbefore granted or to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name. Such notification, request and offer of security or 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 Agreement, and to any action or cause of action for the enforcement of this Agreement, or for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder, it being understood and intended that no one or more holders of the Bonds shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to enforce any right hereunder except in the manner herein provided, and that all proceedings shall be instituted and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of the holders of all Bonds of such series then outstanding.

Section 1009. Rights To Continue. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement 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 Authority, the Trustee and the Bondowners shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 1010. Waivers of Default. To the extent not precluded by law the Trustee may, in its discretion, waive any default or Event of Default affecting one or more series of Bonds hereunder and its consequences and rescind any declaration of maturity of principal, and shall do so upon the written request of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Bonds of such affected series then outstanding; provided, however, that there shall not be waived (a) any Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, on any Outstanding Bonds at the date of maturity specified therein or the date fixed for redemption thereof, or (b) any default or Event of Default in the payment when due of interest on any such Bonds, unless prior to such waiver or rescission, all arrears of interest, and all arrears of payment of principal and premium, if any, then due, as the case may be, together with interest (to the extent permitted by law), at the rate per annum borne by any of the Bonds, on overdue principal, premium, if any, and interest, and all Administrative Expenses of the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Registrar in connection with such default shall have been paid or provided for, and in case of any such waiver or rescission, then and in every such case the Authority, the Trustee and the Bondowners 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.

19. The Bonds shall be subject to redemption at the option of the Company in whole or in part at any time on or after October 1, 2012, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount redeemed, plus interest accrued to the redemption date. If this Bond is of a denomination in excess of the minimum Authorized Denomination, portions of the principal amount in Authorized Denominations may be redeemed.

20. In the event that (i) continued operation of the Units becomes impracticable, uneconomical, or undesirable, (ii) the Units are condemned or taken by eminent domain, or (iii) the Company is prevented from carrying on normal operation by injunction as provided in the Agreement, the Bonds may be redeemed as a whole on any date selected by the Company, but not less than 45 days after nor more than 180 days after the Company shall have given notice of its exercise of the right to make such prepayment, at the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date, and without premium.

21. In the event that the interest on any Bond has been determined to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes in accordance with and as provided in the Agreement due to the failure of the Company to observe any covenant, agreement or representation in the Agreement, the Bonds shall be called for redemption as a whole or in part, on any date selected by the Company, but not later than 180 days after the date of such determination, at the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, and without premium. The Bonds shall be called for redemption in part only if the interest on the Bonds which remain outstanding following such redemption will, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, be excluded from gross income for federal tax purposes.

22. If less than all of the Outstanding Bonds are to be called for redemption, the Bonds (or portions thereof) to be redeemed shall be selected as provided in the Agreement in Authorized Denominations.

23. The Paying Agent shall give or cause to be given notice of any redemption of this Bond as provided above to the Registered Owner at its address shown on the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent. A certificate of the Paying Agent shall conclusively establish the mailing of any such notice for all purposes.
