The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County Refunding Bonds were originally issued in order to refinance the cost of the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of certain air and water pollution control facilities at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Steam Electric Station in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Mississippi (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇ County Project").

The Washington County Refunding Bonds were originally issued in order to refinance the cost of the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of certain air and water pollution control facilities at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Steam Electric Station in Washington County, Mississippi (the "Washington County Project" and, together with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County Project, the "Projects").

The Bonds of this series are initially authorized to be issued in the aggregate of Sixteen Million Thirty Thousand & No/100ths Dollars ($16,030,000) in principal amount. The Indenture provides for the issuance, under the conditions, limitations and restrictions therein set forth, of additional Bonds for the purpose of refunding Bonds of any series issued under the Indenture.

The Bonds of this series and all such additional Bonds (herein called collectively the "Bonds") are issued or are to be issued under and pursuant to a trust indenture (said trust indenture, together with all trust indentures supplemental thereto as therein permitted, being herein called the "Indenture"), dated as of September 1, 2004, by and between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (said trustee and any successor trustee under the Indenture being herein called the "Trustee"), an executed counterpart of which Indenture is on file at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee in Jacksonville, Florida. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the provisions, among others, with respect to the custody and application of the proceeds of Bonds issued under the Indenture, the collection and disposition of revenues, a description of the funds charged with and pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, the nature and extent of the security, the terms and conditions under which the Bonds are or may be issued, the rights, duties and obligations of the Issuer and of the Trustee, the rights of the holders of the Bonds and the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Indenture and the Agreement (hereinafter mentioned) may be amended, and, by the acceptance of this Bond, the holder hereof assents to all of the provisions of the Indenture.

This Bond is issued and the Indenture was made and entered into under and pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State of Mississippi, and particularly the Act, and under and pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the Issuer.

The Issuer has entered into a Loan Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2004 (herein called the "Agreement"), with Entergy Mississippi, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Mississippi and formerly known as Mississippi Power and Light Company (herein called the "Company"), under the provisions of which the Issuer has loaned the proceeds of the Bonds of this series to the Company and has agreed to loan the proceeds of any additional series of Bonds to the Company (herein called the "Loan"). In order to evidence the Loan and the Company's repayment obligation, the Company has executed and delivered its non-negotiable promissory note and has agreed to issue additional such notes concurrently with the issuance of any additional series of Bonds (herein called the "Notes"). The Notes provide for the repayment by the Company of the Loan, including interest thereon, in installments sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due and payable. The Notes provide that the amounts so to be paid thereunder shall be paid directly to the Trustee as assignee of the Issuer; such payments are to be deposited to the credit of the Bond Fund as defined in and created under the Indenture which special fund is pledged to and charged with the payment of the principal of and interest on all Bonds issued under the Indenture and such amounts so to be paid thereunder have been duly pledged and assigned for that purpose. In addition, certain other rights of the Issuer under the Agreement have been assigned to the Trustee to secure payment of such principal and interest under the Indenture.

In addition to the Notes, the Company has issued and delivered its First Mortgage Bonds under Section 3.5 of the Agreement, as additional security for its payment obligations set forth in the Agreement relating to the Bonds of this series, which First Mortgage Bonds have been registered in the name of, and are held by, the Trustee under the Indenture.

The Bonds are issuable as fully registered Bonds without coupons in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. At the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, in the manner and subject to the limitations, conditions and charges provided in the Indenture, Bonds may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the same maturity, of authorized denominations and bearing interest at the same rate.

The Bonds of this series are subject to optional redemption by the Issuer, at the written direction of the Company pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Agreement, prior to maturity on and after October 1, 2009, in whole or in part at any time (but if in part by lot or in such other random manner as the Trustee in its discretion may determine), at a redemption price equal to the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

The Bonds of this series are also subject to optional redemption by the Issuer in whole but not in part, at any time prior to October 1, 2009, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the redemption date in the event the Trustee and the Issuer shall have received written notice from the Company, pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Agreement, of its determination of the occurrence of certain events specified in Section 3.02 (a) or (b) of the Indenture.

The Bonds of this series are also subject to optional redemption by the Issuer, at the written direction of the Company pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Agreement, in whole but not in part, at any time prior to October 1, 2009 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the redemption date, if the Company shall have consolidated with or merged with or into another corporation, or a limited liability company, partnership or trust, or sold or otherwise transferred all or substantially all of its assets.

The Bonds of this series are also subject to optional redemption by the Issuer, at the written direction of the Company, pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Agreement, in whole or in part (but if in part by lot or in such other random manner as the Trustee in its discretion may determine), at any time prior to October 1, 2009, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date, if the Company delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (a) to the effect that by reason of a change in use of the Projects or any portion or portions thereof, the Company has been unable, after reasonable effort, to obtain an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that a court, in a properly presented case, should decide that Section 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "1986 Code") (or successor provision of similar import), does not prevent that portion of the loan payable under the Agreement and attributable to interest on the Bonds of this series from being deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes, (b) specifying that as a result of its inability to obtain such opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, the Company has elected to prepay amounts due under the Agreement equal to the redemption price of the Bonds of this series to be so redeemed and (c) specifying the principal amount of the Bonds of this series which the Company has determined to be the minimum necessary to be so redeemed in order for the Company to retain its rights to such interest deductions (which principal amount of the Bonds of this series will be so redeemed).

The Bonds of this series are subject to mandatory redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date, on the 180^th day (or such earlier date as may be designated by the Company) after a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction or an administrative agency to the effect that, as a result of a failure by the Company to observe any covenant, agreement or representation contained in the Agreement or the Issuer to observe any covenant, agreement or representation in the Indenture, the interest payable on such Bonds is not excludable for federal income tax purposes from the gross income of the owners thereof (other than an owner who is a "substantial user" of either of the Projects or a "related person" within the meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (the "1954 Code")). No determination by any court or administrative agency will be considered final unless the Company has received timely notice of and has had an opportunity to participate in the proceeding which resulted in such determination. The Bonds of this series will be redeemed, either in whole or in part (but if in part by lot or in such other random manner as the Trustee in its discretion may determine), in such principal amount that the interest payable on such Bonds remaining outstanding after such redemption would not under Section 103 of the 1954 Code be included in the gross income of any owner thereof (other than an owner who is a "substantial user" of either of the Projects or a "related person" within the meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code).

The Bonds of this series are also subject to mandatory redemption, in whole but not in part, prior to maturity, but in no event earlier than October 1, 2009, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, upon the occurrence of an event of default pursuant to the Insurance Agreement (as defined in the Indenture), which event of default will be deemed to have occurred if, and only if, (a) the Company breached its obligations under Section 3.01 of the Insurance Agreement and such breach continued for more than 60 days after the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of such breach from the Bond Insurer (as defined in the Indenture), or (b) the Company failed to pay the portion of the premium payable annually in respect of the Bond Insurance Policy (as defined in the Indenture) as provided in Section 1.02(b) of the Insurance Agreement and such failure continued for more than 60 days after the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of such failure from the Bond Insurer (each of (a) and (b), individually, an "Insurance Event"). Unless such Insurance Event is waived in writing by the Bond Insurer, subject to the notice provisions below, the Company shall direct the Issuer to redeem the Bonds pursuant to the prior sentence as follows: (i) on October 1, 2009 if the Insurance Event specified in clause (a) above occurs on or prior to August 1, 2009, or (ii) if the Insurance Event occurs on or after August 2, 2009, within 60 days of such occurrence of the Insurance Event.

Any such redemption, either in whole or in part, shall be made upon not less than twenty-five (25) days' nor more than sixty (60) days' prior notice as provided in the Indenture, and shall be made in the manner and under the terms and conditions provided in the Indenture. On the date designated for redemption, notice having been given and moneys for payment of the redemption price and accrued interest being held by the Trustee or by the paying agents, all as provided in the Indenture, the Bonds or portions of Bonds of this series so called for redemption shall become and be due and payable at the redemption price provided for redemption of such Bonds of this series or such portions thereof on such date, interest on such Bonds of this series or such portions thereof so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such Bonds of this series or such portions thereof so called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under the Indenture, and the registered owners thereof shall have no rights in respect of such Bonds of this series or such portions thereof so called for redemption or in respect of the Indenture except to receive payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest thereon so held by the Trustee or by the paying agents. If a portion of this Bond shall be called for redemption, a new registered Bond of this series without coupons in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender hereof.

The holder of this Bond shall have no right to enforce the provisions of the Indenture or to institute action to enforce the covenants therein, or to take any action with respect to any Event of Default under the Indenture or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding with respect thereto, except as provided in the Indenture.

In certain events, on the conditions, in the manner and with the effect set forth in the Indenture, the principal of all the Bonds then Outstanding under the Indenture may become or may be declared due and payable before the stated maturity thereof, together with the interest accrued thereon.

Modifications or alterations of the Indenture or any trust indenture supplemental thereto or of the Agreement may be made only to the extent and in the circumstances permitted by the Indenture.

The transfer of this Bond may be registered by the registered owner hereof in person or by his attorney or legal representative at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, but only in the manner and subject to the limitations and conditions provided in the Indenture and upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond. Upon any such registration of transfer the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for this Bond a new registered Bond or Bonds without coupons, registered in the name of the transferee, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Bond, of the same series and maturity and bearing interest at the same rate.

This Bond is issued with the intent that the laws of the State of Mississippi shall govern its construction. As declared by the Act and other applicable laws of the State of Mississippi, this Bond shall have all the qualities and incidents, including negotiability, of an investment security under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Mississippi.

  In all cases in which Bonds shall be exchanged or the transfer of Bonds shall be registered hereunder, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver at the earliest practicable time Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

The Issuer or the Trustee may make a charge for every such exchange or registration of transfer of Bonds sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or registration of transfer, and such charge shall be paid before any such new Bonds shall be delivered.
  
  As to any Bond, the person in whose name the same shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of or on account of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on any such Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the owner thereof or his legal representative.

  The Series 2004 Bonds will be subject to optional redemption by the Issuer, at the written direction of the Company pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Agreement, in whole but not in part, at any time prior to October 1, 2009, at a redemption price equal to 100% the principal amount plus accrued interest to the redemption date if:
  1. all or substantially all of either of the Projects or either of the Plants shall have been condemned or taken by eminent domain; or
  2. the operation of either of the Projects or either of the Plants shall have been enjoined or shall have otherwise been prohibited by an order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or of any federal, state or local regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body.
  The Series 2004 Bonds will also be subject to optional redemption by the Issuer, at the written direction of the Company pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Agreement, in whole but not in part, at any time prior to October 1, 2009, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the redemption date, if the Company shall have consolidated with or merged with or into another corporation, or a limited liability company, partnership or trust, or sold or otherwise transferred all or substantially all of its assets.
  
  In addition, the Series 2004 Bonds will also be subject to optional redemption by the Issuer, at the written direction of the Company, pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 1, 2009, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date, if the Company delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (a) to the effect that by reason of a change in use of either of the Projects or any portion or portions thereof, the Company has been unable, after reasonable effort, to obtain an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that a court, in a properly presented case, should decide that Section 150 of the Code (or successor provision of similar import), does not prevent that portion of the loan payable under the Agreement and attributable to interest on the Series 2004 Bonds from being deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes, (b) specifying that as a result of its inability to obtain such opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, the Company has elected to prepay amounts due under the Agreement equal to the redemption price of the Series 2004 Bonds to be so redeemed and (c) specifying the principal amount of the Series 2004 Bonds which the Company has determined to be the minimum necessary to be so redeemed in order for the Company to retain its rights to such interest deductions (which principal amount of the Series 2004 Bonds will be so redeemed).

Unless such Insurance Event is waived in writing by the Bond Insurer, subject to the notice provisions set forth in Section 3.04 hereof, the Company shall direct the Issuer to redeem the Series 2004 Bonds pursuant to the prior sentence as follows: (i) on October 1, 2009 if the Insurance Event specified in clause (1) above occurs on or prior to August 1, 2009, or (ii) if the Insurance Event occurs on or after August 2, 2009, within 60 days of such occurrence of the Insurance Event.

  3. With respect to notice of redemption of any Bonds at the option of the Issuer (at the written direction of the Company pursuant to Section 4.9 of the Agreement), unless moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on any such Bonds to be redeemed shall have been received by the Trustee prior to the giving of such notice, such notice may state that said redemption shall be conditioned upon the receipt of such moneys by the Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption. If such moneys shall not have been so received, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the Issuer shall not redeem such Bonds and the Trustee shall give notice to the owners of all Bonds which were to have been redeemed, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received.

  (b) In addition, if less than all of the Bonds of a series shall be called for redemption, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by lot or in such other random manner as the Trustee in its discretion may determine.
7. Funds in Trust; Unclaimed Funds.
All moneys which the Trustee shall have withdrawn from the Bond Fund or shall have received from any other source and set aside, or deposited with the paying agents, for the purpose of paying any of the Bonds hereby secured, either at the maturity thereof or upon call for redemption, shall be held in trust for the respective holders of such Bonds. But any moneys which shall be so set aside or deposited by the Trustee and which shall remain unclaimed by the holders of such Bonds for a period of one (1) year after the date on which such Bonds shall have become due and payable shall upon request in writing be paid to the Company or to such officer, board or body as may then be entitled by law to receive the same, and thereafter the holders of such Bonds shall look only to the Company or to such officer, board or body, as the case may be, for payment and then only to the extent of the amount so received without any interest thereon, and the Trustee, the Issuer and the paying agents shall have no responsibility with respect to such moneys.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Rebate Agreement and the provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of the Rebate Agreement shall govern.

The covenants of this Section 6.02 shall survive payment in full or defeasance of the Bonds. The obligations imposed upon the Company by this Section have been acknowledged and accepted by the Company in Section 4.10 of the Agreement.

  If, after the principal of the Bonds has been so declared to be due and payable, all arrears of interest and interest on overdue installments of interest (if lawful) at the rate per annum borne by the Bonds and the principal and redemption premium, if any, on all Bonds then Outstanding which shall have become due and payable otherwise than by acceleration, and interest on such principal (if lawful) at the rate per annum borne by the Bonds, and all other sums payable under this Indenture or upon the Bonds, except the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds which by such declaration shall have become due and payable, are paid by the Issuer, and the Issuer also performs all other things in respect of which it may have been in default hereunder and pays the reasonable charges of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Bondholders and any trustee appointed under law, including the Trustee's reasonable attorneys' fees, then, and in every such case, the Trustee shall annul such declaration and its consequences, and such annulment shall be binding upon all holders of Bonds issued hereunder; but no such annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.

8. Application of Moneys.
  
  All moneys received by the Trustee pursuant to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this Article VIII shall, after payment of the costs and expenses of the proceedings resulting in the collection of such moneys and of the expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, be deposited in the Bond Fund and all moneys (except moneys held in separate accounts by the Trustee pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.07, 5.06 and 7.01 hereof) in the Bond Fund shall be applied as follows:
  1. Unless the principal of all the Bonds shall have become or shall have been declared due and payable, all such moneys shall be applied:
    
    FIRST: To the payment of all amounts owed the United States of America under the Rebate Agreement;
    
    SECOND: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest then due on the Bonds, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest 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
    
    THIRD: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal of and redemption premium, if any, on any of the Bonds which shall have become due (other than Bonds matured or called for redemption for the payment of which moneys are held pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), in the order of their due dates, with interest on such Bonds from the respective dates upon which they became due and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full Bonds due on any particular date, together with such interest, then to the payment ratably, according to the amount of principal due on such date, to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege.
  2. If the principal of all the Bonds shall have become due or shall have been declared due and payable, all such moneys shall be applied to the payment of all amounts owed the United States of America under the Rebate Agreement and then to the payment of the principal and interest then due upon the Bonds, without preference or priority of principal over interest or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Bond over any other Bond, ratably, according to the amounts due respectively for principal and interest, to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege.
  3. If the principal of all the Bonds shall have been declared due and payable, and if such declaration shall thereafter have been rescinded and annulled under the provisions of this Article VIII then, subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 8.08 in the event that the principal of all the Bonds shall later become due or be declared due and payable, the moneys shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 8.08.
  Whenever moneys are to be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.08, such moneys shall be applied at such times, and from time to time, as the Trustee shall determine, having due regard to the amount of such moneys available for application and the likelihood of additional moneys becoming available for such application in the future. Whenever the Trustee shall apply such funds, it shall fix the date (which shall be an interest payment date unless it shall deem another date more suitable) upon which such application is to be made and upon such date interest on the amounts of principal to be paid on such dates shall cease to accrue. The Trustee shall give such notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with it of any such moneys and of the fixing of any such date, and shall not be required to make payment to the holder of any Bond until such Bond shall be presented to the Trustee for appropriate endorsement or for cancellation if fully paid.
  
  Whenever all principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on all Bonds have been paid under the provisions of this Section 8.08 and all expenses and charges of the Issuer, the Trustee and any paying agents have been paid and all amounts owed the United States of America under the Rebate Agreement have been paid, any balance remaining in the Bond Fund shall be paid to the Company as provided in Section 5.08 hereof.

  All rights of action (including the right to file proof of claims) under this Indenture or under any of the Bonds may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or proceedings relating thereto; and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name as Trustee without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any holders of the Bonds; and any recovery of judgment shall be for the equal and ratable benefit of the holders of the Bonds then Outstanding.
10. Rights and Remedies of Bondholders.
  
  No holder of any Bond shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the enforcement of this Indenture or for the execution of any trust hereof or for the appointment of a receiver or any other remedy hereunder, unless (a) a default has occurred of which the Trustee has been notified as provided in Section 9.01(h) hereof, or of which by said subsection it is deemed to have notice, (b) such default shall have become an Event of Default and the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee and shall have offered it reasonable opportunity either to proceed to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted or to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name, (c) such holders have offered to the Trustee security and/or indemnity as provided in Section 9.01(l) hereof, and (d) 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 within a reasonable time; and such notification, request and offer of security and/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 Indenture, and to any action or cause of action for the enforcement of this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder; it being understood and intended that no one or more holders of the Bonds shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the lien of this Indenture by its, his or their action or to enforce any right hereunder except in the manner herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of the holders of all Bonds then Outstanding. Nothing in this Indenture contained shall, however, affect or impair the right of any Bondholder to enforce the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on any Bond at and after the maturity thereof, or the obligation of the Issuer to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on each of the Bonds issued hereunder to the respective holders thereof at the time and place, from the source and in the manner in the Bonds expressed.
11. Termination of Proceedings.
  
  In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture by the appointment of a receiver, or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been continued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case the Issuer and the Trustee 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.
12. Waivers of Events of Default.
  
  The Trustee may in its discretion waive any Event of Default hereunder and its consequences and rescind any declaration of maturity of principal, and shall do so upon the written request of the holders of (a) not less than two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding in respect of which default in the payment of principal and/or interest exists, or (b) more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding in the case of any other default; provided, however, that there shall not be waived or rescinded (1) any Event of Default in the payment of the principal of any Bonds then Outstanding when due or (2) any default in the payment when due of the interest on any such Bonds, unless, prior to such waiver or rescission, all arrears of interest, with interest (to the extent permitted by law) at the rate per annum borne by the Bonds in respect of which such default shall have occurred on overdue installments of interest or all arrears of payments of principal, with interest (to the extent permitted by law) at the rate per annum borne by the Bonds, when due, as the case may be, and all expenses of the Trustee in connection with such default shall have been paid or provided for, and in case of any such waiver or rescission, or in the case any proceeding taken by the Trustee on account of any such default shall have been discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bondholders 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.
  
  The provisions of this Section 8.12 are subject to the condition that any waiver of any "Default" under the First Mortgage Bonds Indenture and a rescission and annulment of its consequences shall constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event or Events of Default under Section 8.01(d) hereof and a rescission and annulment of the consequences thereof, 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.
13. Notice of Default under Section 8.01(c); Opportunity of Issuer and the Company to Cure Such Default.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no default under Section 8.01(c) hereof shall constitute an Event of Default until actual notice of such default by registered or certified mail shall be given to the Issuer and the Company by the Trustee or by the holder or holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds Outstanding (with a copy to the Trustee) and the Issuer and the Company shall have had sixty days after receipt of such notice to correct said default or cause said default to be corrected within the applicable period; provided, however, if said default is such that it cannot be corrected within the applicable period, it shall not constitute an Event of Default if corrective action is instituted by the Issuer or the Company within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected.

With regard to any alleged default concerning which notice is given to the Issuer and the Company under the provisions of this Section 8.13, the Issuer hereby grants the Company full authority for the account of the Issuer to perform any covenant or obligation alleged in said notice to constitute a default, in the name and stead of the Issuer with full power to do any and all things and acts to the same extent that the Issuer could do and perform any such things and acts and with power of substitution.

In the event that the Trustee fails to receive any amount when due under the Notes and the Agreement, the Trustee shall immediately give written notice to the Company and the Issuer specifying such failure.

  1. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all events of default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent corporate trustee would exercise or use under the circumstances in the enforcement of a corporate indenture.
  2. The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any of its duties by or through attorneys, agents, receivers or employees but shall be answerable for the conduct of the same in accordance with the standard specified above, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters relating to the trusts hereof and the duties hereunder, and may in all cases pay such reasonable compensation to all such attorneys, agents, receivers and employees as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trusts hereof. The Trustee may act upon the opinion or advice of any attorney (who may be the attorney or attorneys for the Issuer or the Company), approved by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from any action or inaction in good faith in reliance upon such opinion or advice.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital herein, or in the Bonds (except in respect to the certificate of the Trustee endorsed on the Bonds), or for the recording or re-recording, filing or re-filing of this Indenture, or any other instrument required by this Indenture to secure the Bonds, or for insuring the Projects or collecting any insurance moneys, or for the validity of the execution by the Issuer of this Indenture or of any supplements hereto or instruments of further assurance, or for the sufficiency of the security for the Bonds issued hereunder or intended to be secured hereby.
  4. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any Bonds authenticated or delivered hereunder. The Trustee may become the owner of Bonds secured hereby with the same rights which it would have if it were not the Trustee.

Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority or consent of any person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of any Bond, shall be conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Bond and upon owners of Bonds issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof.
  6. As to the existence or non-existence of any fact or as to the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, paper or proceeding, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate signed by the Issuer or the Company as sufficient evidence of the facts therein contained and prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which the Trustee has been notified as provided in subsection (h) of this Section 9.01, or of which by said subsection it is deemed to have notice, the Trustee shall also be at liberty to accept a similar certificate to the effect that any particular dealing, transaction or action is necessary or expedient, but may at its discretion secure such further evidence deemed necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same. The Trustee may accept a certificate of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Issuer under the Issuer's seal to the effect that a resolution in the form therein set forth has been adopted by the Issuer as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted, and is in full force and effect.
  7. The permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and it shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful default.
  8. The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default hereunder except failure by the Issuer to cause to be made any of the payments to the Trustee required to be made by Article IV hereof or the existence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(c) hereof, unless the Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such Event of Default by the Issuer or by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding; and all notices or other instruments required by this Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee must, in order to be effective, be delivered at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, and in the absence of such notice so delivered the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no Event of Default except as aforesaid.

At any and all reasonable times the Trustee and its duly authorized agents, attorneys, experts, engineers, accountants and representatives shall have the right fully to inspect any and all parts of the Projects, including all books, papers and records of the Issuer pertaining to the Projects and the Bonds and to take such memoranda from and in regard thereto as may be desired.

Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Indenture contained, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be required, to demand, in respect of the authentication of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, or any action whatsoever within the purview of this Indenture, any showings, certificates, opinions, appraisals or other information, or corporate action or evidence thereof, in addition to that by the terms hereof required as a condition of such action by the Trustee, which the Trustee in its discretion may deem desirable for the purpose of establishing the right of the Issuer to the authentication of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee.
  12. Before taking any action referred to in Sections 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.10, 8.12 or 9.04 hereof, the Trustee may require that satisfactory security and/or indemnity be furnished for the reimbursement of all expenses to which it may be put and to protect it against all liability, except liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from its negligence or willful default by reason of any action so taken.
  13. All moneys received by the Trustee or any paying agent shall, until used or applied or invested as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or by law. Neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received hereunder except such as may be mutually agreed upon.

4. Intervention by Trustee.
  
  In any judicial proceeding to which the Issuer is a party and which in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel has a substantial bearing on the interests of the owners of the Bonds, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of the Bondholders and shall do so if requested in writing by the owners of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding. The rights and obligations of the Trustee under this Section 9.04 are subject to the approval of a court of competent jurisdiction.
5. Successor Trustee.
  
  Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party, ipso facto, shall be and become successor Trustee hereunder and vested with all of the title to the trust estate and all the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
6. Resignation by Trustee.
  
  The Trustee and any successor Trustee may at any time resign from the trusts hereby created by giving thirty days' written notice to the Issuer and the Company, served personally or sent by registered or certified mail, and to each owner of Bonds then Outstanding, sent by registered or certified mail, and such resignation shall take effect at the end of such thirty days if a successor Trustee has been appointed at such time pursuant to Section 9.08 hereof, or upon the later appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to Section 9.08 hereof.
7. Removal of Trustee.
  
  The Trustee may be removed at any time, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered (a) to the Trustee and to the Issuer and the Company, and signed by the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, or (b) to the Trustee and the owners of all Bonds then Outstanding, and signed by the Issuer and the Company.

  In case the Trustee hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or shall be in course of dissolution or liquidation, or otherwise become incapable of acting hereunder, or in case it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, a successor shall be appointed by the Issuer at the direction of the Company. The Issuer shall cause notice of such appointment to be given in the same manner as the giving of notices of redemption as set forth in Section 3.04 hereof. If the Issuer fails to make such appointment promptly, a successor may be appointed by the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding. Every such successor Trustee appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.08 shall be a trust company or bank duly authorized to exercise trust powers and subject to examination by federal or state authorities, in good standing and having a reported capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $75,000,000 and acceptable to the Bond Insurer, if there be such an institution willing, qualified and able to accept the trusts upon reasonable and customary terms.

9. Concerning Any Successor Trustee.
  
  Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the Issuer an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all of the estates, including the First Mortgage Bonds, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer, or of its successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor hereunder, and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it as Trustee hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estate, rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. The resignation of any Trustee and the instrument or instruments removing any Trustee and appointing a successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for in this Article IX, shall be filed and/or recorded by the successor Trustee in each recording office, if any, where this Indenture shall have been filed and/or recorded and the successor Trustee shall bear the cost thereof.

The Company shall have the right as agent of the Issuer to cause the Trustee to comply with any of the Trustee's obligations under this Indenture to the same extent that the Issuer is empowered so to do.
  
  Certain actions or failures to act by the Issuer under this Indenture may create or result in an Event of Default under this Indenture and the Company, as agent of the Issuer, may to the extent permitted by law perform any and all acts or take such action as may be necessary for and on behalf of the Issuer to prevent or correct said Event of Default and the Trustee shall take or accept such performance by the Company as performance by the Issuer in such event.
  
  The Issuer hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Company irrevocably as its agent to give all directions, do all things and perform all acts provided, and to the extent so provided, by this Section 9.11.

BOND INSURER
1. Payment Procedure Pursuant to the Bond Insurance Policy.
  
  As long as the Bond Insurance Policy shall be in full force and effect, the Issuer and the Trustee agree to comply with the following provisions:
  1. On each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee will determine whether there will be sufficient funds in the Bond Fund established under this Indenture to pay the principal of or interest on the Series 2004 Bonds on such Interest Payment Date. If the Trustee determines that there will be insufficient funds in the Bond Fund, the Trustee shall so notify the Bond Insurer. Such notice shall specify the amount of the anticipated deficiency, whether such Series 2004 Bonds will be deficient as to principal or interest, or both. If the Trustee has not so notified the Bond Insurer, the Bond Insurer will make payments of principal or interest due on the Series 2004 Bonds on or before the first (1st) business day next following the date on which the Bond Insurer shall have received notice of nonpayment from the Trustee.
  2. The Trustee shall, after giving notice to the Bond Insurer as provided in (a) above, make available to the Bond Insurer and, at the Bond Insurer's direction, to the United States Trust Company of New York, as insurance trustee for the Bond Insurer or any successor insurance trustee (the "Insurance Trustee"), the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Trustee and all records relating to the Bond Fund established under this Indenture.
  3. The Trustee shall provide the Bond Insurer and the Insurance Trustee with a list of registered owners of Series 2004 Bonds entitled to receive principal or interest payments from the Bond Insurer under the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy, and shall make arrangements with the Insurance Trustee (i) to mail checks or drafts to the registered owners of Series 2004 Bonds entitled to receive full or partial interest payments from the Bond Insurer and (ii) to pay principal upon Series 2004 Bonds surrendered to the Insurance Trustee by the registered owners of Series 2004 Bonds entitled to receive full or partial principal payments from the Bond Insurer.
  4. The Trustee shall, at the time it provides notice to the Bond Insurer pursuant to (a) above, notify registered owners of Series 2004 Bonds entitled to receive the payment of principal or interest thereon from the Bond Insurer (i) as to the fact of such entitlement, (ii) that the Bond Insurer will remit to them all or a part of the interest payments next coming due upon proof of Bondholder entitlement to interest payments and delivery to the Insurance Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee, of an appropriate assignment of the registered owner's right to payment, (iii) that should they be entitled to receive full payment of principal from the Bond Insurer, they must surrender their Series 2004 Bonds (along with an appropriate instrument of assignment in form satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee to permit ownership of such Series 2004 Bonds to be registered in the name of the Bond Insurer) for payment to the Insurance Trustee, and not the Trustee and (iv) that should they be entitled to receive partial payment of principal from the Bond Insurer, they must surrender their Series 2004 Bonds for payment thereon first to the Trustee who shall note on such Series 2004 Bonds the portion of the principal paid by the Trustee and then, along with an appropriate instrument of assignment in form satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee, to the Insurance Trustee, which will then pay the unpaid portion of principal.
  5. In the event that the Trustee has notice that any payment of or interest on a Series 2004 Bond which has become due for payment and which is made to a Bondholder by or on behalf of the Issuer has been deemed a preferential transfer and theretofore recovered from its registered owner pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code by a trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with the final, nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction, the Trustee shall, at the time the Bond Insurer is notified pursuant to (a) above, notify all registered owners that in the event that any registered owner's payment is so recovered, such registered owner will be entitled to payment from the Bond Insurer to the extent of such recovery if sufficient funds are not otherwise available, and the Trustee shall furnish to the Bond Insurer its records evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on the Series 2004 Bonds which have been made by the Trustee and subsequently recovered from registered owners and the dates on which such payments were made.
  6. In addition to those rights granted the Bond Insurer under this Indenture, the Bond Insurer shall, to the extent it makes payment of principal of or interest on the Series 2004 Bonds, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments in accordance with the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy, and to evidence such subrogation (i) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due interest, the Trustee shall note the Bond Insurer's rights as subrogee on the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Trustee upon receipt from the Bond Insurer of proof of the payment of interest thereon to the registered owners of the Series 2004 Bonds, and (ii) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due principal, the Trustee shall note the Bond Insurer's rights as subrogee on the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Trustee upon surrender of the Series 2004 Bonds by the registered owners thereof together with proof of the payment of principal thereof.
2. Bond Insurer's Right to ▇▇▇.
  
  If an Event of Default occurs, the Bond Insurer shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity under the same terms as a Bondholder may institute any action hereunder.
3. Third Party Beneficiary.
  
  To the extent that this Indenture confers upon or gives or grants to the Bond Insurer any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Indenture, the Bond Insurer is hereby explicitly recognized as being a third-party beneficiary hereunder and may enforce any such right, remedy or claim conferred, given or granted hereunder.
4. Provisions With Respect to Bond Insurance.
  
  As long as the Bond Insurance Policy issued by the Bond Insurer is in full force and effect with respect to the Series 2004 Bonds and the Bond Insurer is not in default thereunder:
  1.

  2. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, and subject to the security and/or indemnification provisions contained in Sections 9.01(l) of this Indenture, the Bond Insurer shall be entitled to control and direct the enforcement of all rights and remedies granted to the owners or the Trustee for the benefit of the owners under this Indenture including, without limitation, (i) the right to accelerate the principal of the Series 2004 Bonds as set forth herein and (ii) the right to annul any declaration of acceleration, and the Bond Insurer shall also be entitled to approve all waivers of Events of Default.
  3.

    (ii) The Trustee shall notify the Bond Insurer of any failure of the Company to provide the Trustee notices, certificates, and other documents required to be furnished to the Trustee by this Indenture or the Agreement.
  4. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the principal or interest due on the Series 2004 Bonds shall be paid by the Bond Insurer pursuant to the Bond Insurance Policy, the Series 2004 Bonds shall remain outstanding for all purposes, shall not be defeased or otherwise satisfied and shall not be considered paid by the Issuer, and the assignment and pledge of the Trust Estate and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Issuer to the owners shall continue to exist and shall run to the benefit of the Bond Insurer, and the Bond Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of the owners.
  5. (i) The Bond Insurer shall receive five (5 ) days' prior written notice of any Trustee resignation and shall have the right to approve the appointment of any successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 9.08 of this Indenture. In the event that the Trustee shall fail to perform its obligations hereunder in any material respect, the Bond Insurer may direct the Company to exercise its rights under Section 9.07 of this Indenture to remove the Trustee and the Company shall so exercise such rights.
  (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, in determining whether the rights of the owners will be adversely affected by any action taken pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall consider the effect on the owners as if there were no Bond Insurance Policy.
5. References to the Bond Insurer.
  
  All provisions of this Indenture regarding consents, approvals, acceptances, directions, appointments or requests by the Bond Insurer shall be deemed not to require or permit such consents, approvals, directions, appointments or requests by the Bond Insurer and shall be read as if the Bond Insurance Policy were not mentioned therein during any time in which the Bond Insurer is in default in its obligations to make payments under the Bond Insurance Policy; provided, however, that this Section shall not affect the rights of the Bond Insurer to collect any amounts owed to it.
6. Information to Bond Insurer.
