Section 2.03. Reimbursement for Letter of Credit Drawings.

(a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank without the requirement for notice or demand, both of which are expressly waived by the Borrower, for any amounts drawn on the Letter of Credit on the same Business Day as such drawing is honored by the Bank.

(b) The Borrower agrees to give (or shall cause the Bond Trustee to give) absolute priority to Pledged Bonds in selecting Bonds for redemption and remarketing pursuant to the Bond Indenture.

-22-

writing) not later than 3:00 P.M. (prevailing Eastern time) on the date of any such remarketing, (i) stating the amount to be paid and (ii) identifying by number the particular Pledged Bonds remarketed by the Remarketing Agent, the proceeds of the remarketing of which are to be paid to the Bank.

All payments shall be credited to accrued interest and then to principal, and to principal in the inverse order of the date of the drawing or as applicable, to which it relates.

Section 2.05. Place and Manner of Payment; Computation of Interest and Fees.

ABA No. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Account No. 957 082770, Reference: Trex Company (or to such other account as the Bank or Administrative Agent may specify by written notice to the Borrower) with further indication of the purpose of the payment.

If the Borrower shall be required to withhold or deduct Taxes from any sum payable hereunder (on behalf of any Bank or Bank Participant), (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that such Bank or

-23-

Bank Participant receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such necessary withholdings and deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority according to Applicable Law so that such Bank or Bank Participant shall not be required to make any deduction or payment of such Taxes. The Bank, the Bank Participants and the Administrative Agent represent that the Borrower is not currently required under Applicable Law to withhold any amounts in respect of payments to the Bank and the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any payment received by the Bank or the Administrative Agent after 3:00 P.M. (prevailing Eastern time) shall be deemed to have been received by the Bank or the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day.

(f) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03 hereof, any payment which is not received by the Bank or the Administrative Agent on the date due shall bear interest until paid in full at the Default Rate.

(i) subjects the Bank or any Bank Participant to taxation with respect to this Agreement, the other Reimbursement Documents, the Letter of Credit or payment by the Borrower of principal, interest, issuance fee or annual Letter of Credit fees, administrative fees or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder (except for any taxes on the income or share capital of the Bank or a Bank Participant),

(iv) imposes upon the Bank or a Bank Participant any other condition or expense with respect to this Agreement, the Letter of Credit or their making, maintenance or funding of any loan or any security therefor,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense (including loss of margin) upon the Bank or a Bank Participant with respect to this Agreement, the Letter of Credit, or the making, maintenance or funding of any loan (or, in the case of any capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Bank or a Bank Participant capital, taking into consideration

-24-

such Bank’s or Bank’s Participant’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which such Bank or Bank Participant deems to be material to it, then the Bank on behalf of itself or any other Bank Participant shall from time to time notify, or cause to be notified, the Borrower in writing of the effective date of such Change in Law and of the amount determined in good faith (using any reasonable averaging and attribution methods) by the Bank or Bank Participant (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) to be necessary to compensate the Bank or Bank Participant for such increase, reduction or imposition. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the earlier of thirty (30) days after demand therefor or the next Fee Payment Date which is not less than ten (10) days after the demand therefor. A certificate by the Bank or Bank Participant as to the amount due and payable under this Section 2.06 from time to time and the method of calculating such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error and shall be provided to the Borrower with the notice described above. The amount payable pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be payable to the Bank in accordance with Section 2.05(a) or in accordance with such other payment instructions as the Administrative Agent shall advise the Borrower in writing.

Section 2.08. Evidence of Debt. The Bank and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with their usual practices an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each drawing under the Letter of Credit and with respect thereto the amounts of principal and interest outstanding and the amounts paid from time to time hereunder. In any legal action or proceeding in respect of this Agreement, the entries made on the Note and in the accounts maintained by the Bank and the Administrative Agent shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded. In the event of a conflict among such accounts, the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent shall control, absent manifest error.

Section 2.09. Obligations Absolute. The reimbursement obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following:

(f) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 2.10. Appraisals. The Administrative Agent shall caused to be ordered, if deemed necessary in its sole discretion, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, an M.A.I. appraisal of the Mortgaged Property in compliance with the Financial Institutes Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 requirements, satisfactory in all respects to the Administrative Agent.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. agrees to act as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Bank and the Bank Participants to the extent provided in this Agreement.

Section 9.02. Duties and Immunities.

(a) The Administrative Agent (which term as used herein includes its affiliates and its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents) shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Reimbursement Documents. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall exercise in good faith the same commercially reasonable care which it would exercise in dealing with loans for its own account and shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any Reimbursement Document a trustee or fiduciary relationship in respect of the Bank or the Bank Participants; and nothing in this Agreement or any Reimbursement Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any Reimbursement Document, except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

(b) Each of the Bank and the Bank Participants expressly acknowledges (i) that the Administrative Agent has not made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to the Bank or any Bank Participant; (ii) that the Administrative Agent is not responsible to the Bank or any Bank Participant for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the other Reimbursement Documents or the Related Documents, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by it under, this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document or for any failure by the Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document or the Related Documents; (iii) that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings under this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Documents or Related Documents; (iv) that the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or the failure to observe the standard of care set forth in this Article IX with respect to documents and sums of money held by it; and (v) that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide the Bank or any Bank Participant with any credit or other information, whether coming into their possession before the making of any loan advances hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, except for notices, reports or other information, if any, expressly required to be furnished to the Bank or the Bank Participants by the Administrative Agent hereunder.

-57-

(c) The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact, shall be entitled to rely on good faith of independent counsel and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Administrative Agent shall maintain complete books and records with respect to the Obligations and shall make the same available for review by the Bank and the Bank Participants at its offices during normal business hours. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of the Note as the holder of such note for all purposes of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Bank and the Bank Participants copies of all written reports, notices and other communications received or delivered by the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, to or from the Borrower, promptly after receipt of same, unless the Borrower shall have been required pursuant to this Agreement to deliver copies of such written report, notice or other communication directly to the other party, the Bank and the Bank Participants.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any writing, facsimile transmission, telex or teletype message, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, letter, cablegram, statement, order or other document or conversation by telephone or otherwise believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper party or parties, and upon opinions of counsel and other professional advisers selected by the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.03. Defaults and Notices; Exercise of Remedies. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to the Bank and the Bank Participants to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document or Related Document on the part of the Borrower or any other Person, or the financial condition of the Borrower or the existence or possible existence of a Default. In the absence of actual knowledge, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Bank, a Bank Participant, the Bond Trustee or the Borrower specifying such Default or Event Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of such Default or Event of Default to each of the Bank and the Bank Participants.

Section 9.04. Non-Reliance. The Bank and each Bank Participant agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and the Facility, has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis in connection with its participation in loan of credit made pursuant to the Letter of Credit.

Section 9.05. Indemnification. The Bank and each Bank Participant agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower after commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such reimbursement), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which are imposed on, incurred by

-58-

or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Note or any other Reimbursement Documents or Related Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided that the Bank and the Bank Participants shall not be liable to the Administrative Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent that the same result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.06. Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Letter of Credit and the Note, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank Participant, and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Bank Participant” and “holders of Notes” shall, unless the context hereof otherwise indicates, include JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its individual capacity. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. may, without liability to account, make loans to, accept deposits from, act as trustee under indenture of, and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with the Borrower and its related entities as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 9.07. Distributions. Whenever the Bank or the Administrative Agent receives any payment on behalf of a Bank Participant it shall distribute the same to the appropriate Bank Participant, in lawful money of the United States and in like kind of funds received by it. All such payments received prior to 3:00 P.M. (prevailing Eastern time), shall be so paid on the date received or, if received later than 3:00 P.M. (prevailing Eastern time), on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 9.08. Successors. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to each of the other Bank Participants and the Borrower, such resignation to become effective upon the discharge of the Administrative Agent from its duties under this Agreement, as set forth in this Section 9.08. Upon the resignation of the Administrative Agent, at no expense to the Borrower, and with Borrower’s prior written consent, the Bank may appoint another entity to act as Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance by a successor to the Administrative Agent of its appointment as the Administrative Agent, hereunder, such successor to the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties under this Agreement and, except as set forth in the following sentence, all of its rights, powers and privileges hereunder shall terminate. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY

Section 10.01. Indemnification. In addition to any and all rights of reimbursement, indemnification, subrogation or any other rights pursuant hereto or under law or equity, the Borrower hereby agrees (to the extent permitted by law) to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank, Administrative Agent and any Bank Participant and their respective officers, directors and

-59-

agents (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, reasonable costs or expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees for counsel of the indemnified party’s choice and court costs) which any of the Indemnitees may incur (or which may be claimed against any of the Indemnitees by any Person or entity whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in the Official Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Official Statement of a material fact necessary to make such statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they are or were made, not misleading (excluding, however, information relating to any Person other than the Borrower); (b) the execution and delivery or transfer of, or payment or failure to pay under, the Reimbursement Documents; (c) the issuance and sale of the Bonds; (d) the use of the proceeds of the Bonds; (e) the use or occupancy of the Facility by the Borrower or any other Person; (f) any breach by the Borrower of any representation, warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default by the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Reimbursement Documents or Related Documents; or (g) involvement of the Bank, Administrative Agent or any Bank Participant in any legal suit, investigation, proceeding, inquiry or action as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the Bank’s issuance of the Letter of Credit, their entering into this Agreement or action taken thereunder or under any of the Reimbursement Documents or any other event or transaction in connection with or contemplated by any of the foregoing; provided however, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Bank Participants for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Bank in determining whether a certificate presented under the Letter of Credit complied with the terms thereof or (ii) the Bank’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under the Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the Bond Trustee of a sight draft and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions thereof, unless the Bank in good faith believes that it is prohibited by law or other legal authority from making such payment. If any proceeding shall be brought or threatened against an Indemnitee by reason of or in connection with the events described in clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) (and except as otherwise provided in the proviso above), the applicable Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing and the Borrower shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel chosen by the Indemnitee (with fees and terms reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower) and the payment of all costs of litigation. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each of the Indemnitees shall have the right to employ their own respective counsel and to determine their own defense of such action in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of Indemnitee or the applicable Bank Participant unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Borrower or (ii) the Borrower, after due notice of the action, shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to such Indemnitee or Bank Participant in the exercise of their reasonable discretion, as the case may be, to have charge of such defense, in either of which events the reasonable fees and expenses of the respective counsels for such Indemnitee or Bank Participants shall be borne by the Borrower to the extent that such action is covered by this indemnification provision. The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its consent. Nothing under this Section 10.01 is intended to limit the Borrower’s payment of Obligations.

Section 10.02. Liability of the Bank. As between the Borrower, on the one hand and the Bank and the Bank Participants, on the other hand, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of the Bond Trustee and any transferee of the Letter of Credit with respect to its use of

-60-

the Letter of Credit. None of the Bank, the Bank Participants nor any of their respective officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit or for any acts or omissions of the Bond Trustee and any transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement(s) thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the Bank against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under the Letter of Credit, except only that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Bank, and the Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or punitive, damages suffered by the Borrower to the extent to which the Borrower proves were caused by (i) the Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under the Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or (ii) the Bank’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under the Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the Bond Trustee of a sight draft and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions thereof; provided that the maximum amount of damages recoverable by the Borrower as provided above is expressly limited to the Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Bank and the Bank Participants may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

The Bank shall not be liable in any way for any failure on its part to honor any draft under the Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission (whether rightful or wrongful) of any Governmental Authority or any other cause beyond the control of the Bank.

Section 10.03. Facsimile Transmission. At the request of the Borrower, the Letter of Credit provides that demands for payment thereunder may be presented to the Bank by, among other methods, facsimile transmission. The Borrower acknowledges and assumes all risks relating to the use of such demands for payment transmitted by facsimile transmission and agrees that its obligations under this Agreement shall remain absolute, unconditional and irrevocable as provided in Section 2.09 if the Bank honors such demands for payment transmitted by facsimile transmission.

Section 10.04. No Implied Covenants. The duties and obligations of the Bank with respect to demands for payment under the Letter of Credit shall be determined solely by the express provisions of, or those incorporated by reference into, the Letter of Credit, and no implied covenants or obligations relating to the Letter of Credit or the making of any payment thereunder shall be read into this Agreement or the Letter of Credit against the Bank.

Section 10.05. Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under this Article X shall survive the payment of the Bonds and the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.06. Absolute and Unconditional Agreement.

(a) The obligations of the Borrower under this Article X shall be a continuing, absolute and unconditional indemnity, without regard to:

(i) any limitation, discharge, cancellation, invalidity, rejection or unenforceability of the Obligations or the Reimbursement Documents or any part thereof; and

-61-

(ii) any circumstance whatsoever which constitutes or might be construed to be an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower from the Obligations.

(b) The Borrower’s liability hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Bank or the Bank Participants of any right or remedy against Borrower or any other Person at any time and shall not be affected or limited in any manner by any action taken by the Bank or the Bank Participants in connection with exercise of any remedies under the Reimbursement Documents.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.01. No Broker. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Bank and the Bank Participants that no broker was involved in procuring the Letter of Credit, except any such broker whose commission has been paid in full by the Borrower on the Issuance Date, and agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Bank and the Bank Participants from and against any and all claims for any brokerage commission arising out of the Letter of Credit or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.02. Further Assurances. From time to time upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall promptly and duly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to confirm this Agreement, the other Reimbursement Documents and the Related Documents, to carry out the purpose and intent hereof and thereof or to enable the Bank and the Bank Participants to enforce any of its rights hereunder or thereunder.

Section 11.03. Amendments and Waivers. The Bank, the Bank Participants and the Borrower may from time to time enter into agreements amending, modifying or supplementing this Agreement, the other Reimbursement Documents or the Related Documents or changing the rights of the Bank, the Bank Participants or the Borrower hereunder or thereunder, and the Bank and the Bank Participants may from time to time grant waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder. Any such agreement, waiver or consent must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. In the case of any such waiver or consent relating to any provision hereof, any Default or Event of Default so waived or consented to shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver or consent shall extend to any other or subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 11.04. No Implied Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Bank or the Bank Participants in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement, the other Reimbursement Documents or the Related Document (including any delay in sending the notice required for an Event of Default) shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any single or partial

-62-

exercise of any such right, power or privilege or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Bank and the Bank Participants under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Bank and the Bank Participants would otherwise have under any Reimbursement Document or Related Document, at law or in equity.

THIS CONSENT TO AND SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION IS WITH REGARD TO ANY ACTION RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE BORROWER’S ACTIONS TOOK PLACE IN THE STATE OR ELSEWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES. THIS SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION IS NONEXCLUSIVE, AND DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE BANK FROM OBTAINING JURISDICTION OVER THE BORROWER IN ANY COURT OTHERWISE HAVING JURISDICTION.

(c) THE BORROWER, THE BANK AND THE BANK PARTICIPANTS AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER REIMBURSEMENT DOCUMENTS.

Section 11.11. Duration. All representations and warranties of the Borrower contained herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the making of and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Reimbursement Documents, any investigation by the Borrower or the approval of any disbursements, honoring of any drawings under the Letter of Credit. All covenants and agreements of the Borrower contained herein shall continue in full force and effect from and after date hereof until the later of (a) the Expiration Date of the Letter of Credit and (b) payment in full of the Note, interest thereon and all other Obligations of the Borrower.

Section 11.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 11.13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Reimbursement Documents or Related Documents without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, the Bank and each Bank Participant. The Bank may participate portions of its interests in accordance with Section 11.14.

Section 11.14. Participations. The Bank and any Bank Participant may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell participations to Bank Participants in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Reimbursement Documents; provided that

(i) the Bank’s or the Bank Participant’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Reimbursement Documents shall remain unchanged;

(ii) the Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations under the Letter of Credit;

-66-

(iii) the Bank shall remain responsible to the Borrower for the performance of the obligations under the Reimbursement Documents; and

(iv) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Bank or the Administrative Agent as provided herein in connection with the Bank’s or the Bank Participant’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the other Reimbursement Documents and the Related Documents.

The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower notice of any participation. The Borrower authorizes the Bank to provide financial and operational information previously provided to the Bank or to the Administrative Agent to potential Bank Participants. All amounts payable by the Borrower under the Reimbursement Documents shall be determined as if the Bank had not sold any Participations.

The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Note are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of a Default, each Bank Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as the Bank under this Agreement or any note.

Section 11.15. Reasonableness Standard. If the Bank, in its capacity as the Bank or Administrative Agent, agrees in any provision of this Agreement to act reasonably in granting or withholding any consent, approval or the like, and the Bank has sold or hereafter shall sell participations in the Letter of Credit, then the Bank, the Bank Participants or the Administrative Agent shall not act unreasonably if it withholds any consent, approval or the like if participants entitled to consent to or approve the request do not do so.

Section 11.16. Preferences. To the extent that any of the Bank or the Bank Participants receive any payment from or on behalf of the Borrower which payment or any part thereof is subsequently:

(a) invalidated;

(b) declared to constitute a fraudulent conveyance or preferential transfer;

(d) required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause,

then, to the extent of such payment received, the obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment has not been received by the Bank or such Bank Participant.

Section 11.17. Independence of Covenants. Except in those cases where a provision is expressly intended to supersede another provision hereof, all covenants contained in this Agreement shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not

-67-

permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that such action or condition would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 11.18. Security and Subrogation Under Related Documents. The Borrower and the Bank Participants intend that (i) the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Reimbursement Documents shall have the benefit and security of the Bond Indenture and the trust estate granted pursuant to the Bond Indenture, subject to the provisions thereof and (ii) in the event of one or more draws under the Letter of Credit and the application of the proceeds thereof to the payment of Bonds, the Bank and the Bank Participants will be subrogated pro tanto to the rights of the Bond Trustee and the holders of the Bonds in and to all funds and security held by the Bond Trustee under the Bond Indenture for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. In addition, the Bank and the Bank Participants shall have any and all other subrogation rights available to the Bank and the Bank Participants at law or in equity.

Section 11.19. Rights Cumulative. All rights, powers and remedies herein given to the Bank and the Bank Participants are cumulative and not alternative, and are in addition to all statutes or rules of law; any forbearance or delay by the Bank and the Bank Participants in exercising the same shall not be deemed to be a waiver thereof, and the exercise of any right or partial exercise thereof shall not preclude the further exercise thereof, and the same shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived by an instrument in writing executed by the Administrative Agent. All representations and covenants by the Borrower shall survive the issuance of the Letter of Credit and the making of the advances thereunder, and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

Section 11.20. Exhibits. The Exhibits attached to this Agreement are an integral part hereof and are hereby made a part of this Agreement.

Section 11.21. Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
