In any case where notice to Bondholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any default in any notice so mailed to any particular Bondholder, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Bondholders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Bonds shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Upon conversion of the Interest Mode of the Initial Bonds to a Daily Rate, Weekly Rate, Commercial Paper Rate or Fixed Rate, the Bond Registrar shall exchange Daily Rate Bonds, Weekly Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Fixed Rate Bonds, as appropriate, for such Initial Bonds presented to it, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05 hereof.

Section 2.04 Form of Bonds. Initial Bonds and any Bonds issued in exchange or replacement therefor shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A to this Indenture; Daily Rate Bonds and any Bonds issued in exchange or replacement therefor shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Indenture; Commercial Paper Rate Bonds and any Bonds issued in exchange or replacement therefor shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C to this Indenture; Fixed Rate Bonds and any Bonds issued in exchange or replacement therefor shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D to this Indenture; and Weekly Rate Bonds and any Bonds issued in exchange or replacement therefor shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit E to this Indenture; with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any regulatory body, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Bonds, as evidenced by their signing of the Bonds. Any portion of the text of any Bonds may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Bonds. The certificate of authentication shall be as set forth in the appropriate form of Initial Bond, Daily Rate Bond, Commercial Paper Rate Bond, Fixed Rate Bond or Weekly Rate Bond. Except for the Initial Bond initially delivered to the original purchasers thereof on the Issue Date, which shall be valid if registered by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas or one of his deputies, no Bonds (other than temporary Initial Bonds issued pursuant to Section 2.13 hereof) shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on or attached to such Bonds a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C, Exhibit D or Exhibit E executed by the Trustee by its manual signature, and such certificate upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Bond has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.05 Registration, Transfer, Transfer Restrictions and Exchange.

(a) The District shall cause to be kept at a corporate trust office or the principal payment office of the Bond Registrar or Bond Registrars for the Bonds, a register or registers (sometimes herein referred to as the “Bond Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the District shall provide for the registration of Bonds and of transfers of Bonds. The Trustee is hereby appointed as Bond Registrar for the purpose of registering Bonds and transfers of Bonds as herein provided, and it shall keep the Bond Register with respect to the Bonds at its payment office in Houston, Texas.

(b) Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond, at the office or agency of the District in a Place of Payment, the District shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Bond Registrar shall register and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee, one or more new Bonds of any Authorized Denomination, of a like aggregate principal amount, maturity and interest rate.

(c) The Bonds may not be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except to a person who the transferor reasonably believes is (i) a Qualified Institutional Buyer and (ii) prior to the First Initial Bonds Remarketing Date, not a Substantial User, in accordance with all applicable U.S. and state securities laws.

(d) At the option of the Holder, Bonds may be exchanged for Bonds of any Authorized Denomination, of a like aggregate principal amount, Stated Maturity and interest rate, upon the surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the District shall execute, and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, the Bonds that the Bondholder making the exchange is entitled to receive, provided Bonds in one Interest Mode may be exchanged only for Bonds in the same Interest Mode.

(e) All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be the valid obligations of the District, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Bonds surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(f) Every Bond presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the District or the Bond Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the District and the Bond Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the District and the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Bonds, other than exchanges expressly provided in this Indenture to be made without expense or without charge to Holders.

The District and the Bond Registrar shall not be required (1) to issue, transfer or exchange any Bonds during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of Bonds selected for redemption under Section 3.04 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (2) to transfer or exchange any Bond selected for redemption in whole or in part; provided, however, the ability of Bondholders to tender Bonds for purchase on the Purchase Date shall remain unaffected.

Section 2.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Bonds. If (a) any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Bond Registrar, or the Bond Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Bond, and (b) there is delivered to the Bond Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save each of the District and the Bond Registrar harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the District or the Bond Registrar that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the District shall execute and, upon its request, the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, a new Bond of like tenor, series, Interest Mode and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond has become or is about to become due and payable, the District in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Bond, pay such Bond.

Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Section, the District and the Bond Registrar may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Bond Registrar) connected therewith.

Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the District, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits and security of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds.

Section 2.07 Payment of Interest on Bonds; Interest Rights Preserved.

(a) Interest on any Bond that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Bond is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

(b) Any interest on any Bond that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the District (but only from the sources provided herein) to the Persons in whose names the Bonds are registered at the close of business on a special record date (“Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Trustee shall, at the direction of the District, determine the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Bond and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the District shall deposit (but only from the sources provided herein) with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the District of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the District, shall cause notice of the date and amount of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Bondholder at his address as it appears in the Bond Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Bonds are registered on such Special Record Date.

(c) Liquidity Bank Differential shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Bond was registered on the date the Liquidity Bank Differential became due.

(d) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Bond delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Bonds.

Section 2.08 Determination of Interest Rate on the Bonds.

(a) Generally. The Bonds shall bear interest as provided herein from and including the date of issuance and delivery to the initial purchaser thereof to but excluding the date of payment in full of the Bonds (computed on the basis of a 360-day, 365-day or 366-day, as the case may be, year for actual number of days elapsed during any period in which the Bonds bear interest at a Daily Rate, Commercial Paper Rate or Weekly Rate, respectively; and a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months during any period in which the Bonds bear interest at a Fixed Rate or the Initial Rate). The interest rate on the Bonds will be determined as provided in this Section; provided, however, that the rate in effect shall not exceed the Maximum Rate.

(b) Daily Rate. A Bond will bear interest at the Daily Rate, beginning on the Conversion Date with respect to the prior Interest Mode, established by the Remarketing Agent on or prior to such Conversion Date. Thereafter, while the Bonds are in a Daily Rate Period, at or before 10:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on each Business Day during such Daily Rate Period, the Remarketing Agent shall determine the minimum rate per annum which would permit the remarketing at par of the Bonds on such Business Day. The lesser of the rate so determined or the Maximum Rate shall be the Daily Rate for such Business Day and for each succeeding day which is not a Business Day. If for any reason the Remarketing Agent does not determine a Daily Rate or the Daily Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent is invalid or unenforceable, the Daily Rate thereafter will be the lesser of: (i) 110% of the SIFMA Index or (ii) the Maximum Rate, until the Remarketing Agent again determines a valid and enforceable Daily Rate. Upon setting each Daily Rate, the Remarketing Agent will give prompt electronic notice thereof to the District and the Trustee. Each determination of the Daily Rate shall be conclusive and binding upon the District, the Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any, and the Bondholders.

(c) Commercial Paper Rate. A Bond will bear interest at the Commercial Paper Rate following the Conversion Date with respect to the prior Interest Mode, and each such Bond will bear interest at the Commercial Paper Rate applicable to it during each Commercial Paper Rate Period applicable to it. The Remarketing Agent will set the Commercial Paper Rate Period and the related Commercial Paper Rate for each Commercial Paper Rate Bond not earlier than five Business Days prior to the first day of the Commercial Paper Rate Period for each such Bond and not later than 12:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the first day of each Commercial Paper Rate Period for such Commercial Paper Rate Bond. The Commercial Paper Rate applicable to each Commercial Paper Rate Bond will be the rate determined by the Remarketing Agent to be the lesser of the Maximum Rate or the lowest interest rate that would be necessary for the Remarketing Agent to remarket such Commercial Paper Rate Bond on the first day of the applicable Commercial Paper Rate Period at a price of par. On any given date, the Commercial Paper Rates in effect for various Commercial Paper Rate Bonds may be different; the Commercial Paper Rate established by the Remarketing Agent for Commercial Paper Rate Bonds having Commercial Paper Rate Periods beginning and ending at the same times are not required to be identical.

(d) Commercial Paper Rate Periods. The Remarketing Agent shall select the Commercial Paper Rate Period or Periods for each Bond on a Business Day not earlier than five Business Days prior to the first day of such period or periods with respect to such Bond and not later than 12:00 p.m., New York, New York time on the first day of such period or periods. Each such period shall be a period of not less than one nor more than 270 days determined by the Remarketing Agent with the intention of yielding the lowest overall interest expense on such Bonds sold at a price of par over such Commercial Paper Rate Period, taking into account (i) all other Commercial Paper Rate Periods for all of the Bonds, (ii) general economic and market conditions relevant to the Bonds and (iii) such other facts, circumstances and conditions as the Remarketing Agent determines to be relevant; provided, however, that for so long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC, the Remarketing Agent shall only select a Commercial Paper Rate Period consistent with the eligible periods established from time to time by DTC. The last day of each Commercial Paper Rate Period shall be a day immediately preceding a Business Day.

If the Interest Mode is being converted from a Commercial Paper Rate to a Daily Rate, Fixed Rate or Weekly Rate, the Remarketing Agent shall determine Commercial Paper Rate Periods in such manner that, as soon as possible, all Commercial Paper Rate Periods with respect to the affected Bonds shall end on the same date. The Remarketing Agent, promptly upon the determination of the last day of such Commercial Paper Rate Periods prior to conversion to a new Interest Mode, shall give written notice of such last day and such Conversion Date to the District, the Tender Agent and the Trustee. The day next succeeding the last day of all such Commercial Rate Periods shall be the effective date of the Daily Rate Period, Fixed Rate Period, or Weekly Rate Period, as appropriate, with respect to the affected Bonds.

(e) Notice of Commercial Paper Rates and Commercial Paper Rate Periods. Prior to or on the first day of each Commercial Paper Rate Period, the Remarketing Agent shall give written notice to the District, the Tender Agent and the Trustee of the principal amount of Bonds for which such period was established, the Commercial Paper Rate established for such period, and the duration of such Commercial Paper Rate Period. Each determination of the Commercial Paper Rate and the Commercial Paper Rate Period shall be conclusive and binding upon the District, the Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any, and the Bondholders, and the Tender Agent and the Trustee may each conclusively rely on the correctness (and compliance with the applicable requirements hereof) of any of the foregoing so indicated to it.

(f) Fixed Rate. A Bond shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate following the Conversion Date with respect to the prior Interest Mode, and each such Bond will bear interest at the Fixed Rate to the date of payment in full of such Bond. The Remarketing Agent will determine the Fixed Rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Bond on or before the second preceding Business Day prior to such Conversion Date, which shall be the rate that if borne by such Bond would, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent having due regard for prevailing market conditions for securities which are comparable to such Bond, enable the Remarketing Agent to sell such Bond at a price of par on such Conversion Date. The Remarketing Agent shall give written notice to the District and the Trustee of the Fixed Rate. The determination of the Fixed Rate shall be conclusive and binding upon the District, the Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any, and the Bondholders.

(g) Weekly Rate. Weekly Rate Bonds shall bear interest payable at the lesser of the Maximum Rate or the minimum rate per annum which would permit the remarketing at par of the Weekly Rate Bonds on the Thursday such rate becomes effective in accordance with this paragraph. On or before 5:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on each Wednesday, the Remarketing Agent shall determine the Weekly Rate effective on the Thursday following such Wednesday, and such Weekly Rate shall continue in effect until the next Weekly Rate is effective. In the event that a Wednesday is not a Business Day, then the Weekly Rate will be determined as described above on the Business Day immediately preceding that Wednesday to be effective on the following Thursday. Upon setting each Weekly Rate, the Remarketing Agent shall give prompt electronic notice thereof to the District and the Trustee. If for any reason the Remarketing Agent does not determine a Weekly Rate as described above or the Weekly Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent is invalid or unenforceable, the Weekly Rate thereafter will be the lesser of: (i) 110% of the SIFMA Index or (ii) the Maximum Rate, until the Remarketing Agent again determines a valid and enforceable Weekly Rate.

(h) Initial Rate. The interest rate for the Initial Bonds shall be the rate set forth in the Approval Certificate and in the First Bond, from the Issue Date through the day immediately preceding the First Initial Bonds Remarketing Date. The first Initial Rate Period shall extend from the Issue Date to (but not including) the First Initial Bonds Remarketing Date. Not less than sixty (60) days prior to any Initial Bonds Remarketing Date, the District, after consultation with the Company and the Remarketing Agent, shall designate (i) the aggregate principal amount of then Outstanding Initial Bonds that shall be remarketed as Initial Bonds on such Initial Bonds Remarketing Date, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Initial Bonds to be converted to another Interest Mode on such Initial Bonds Remarketing Date and (iii) the Interest Mode or Interest Modes to which such Multi-Modal Bonds shall convert; provided, however, that no Initial Bonds shall be remarketed as Bonds bearing interest at a different Initial Rate as described in Section 2.17(d) hereof or in another Interest Mode unless all Initial Bonds then Outstanding have been repurchased at the Purchase Price.

On or prior to one Business Day prior to any Initial Bonds Remarketing Date, if any Initial Bonds are to be remarketed as Initial Bonds, the District shall, in consultation with the Remarketing Agent and the Company, determine the next Initial Bonds Remarketing Date, the date (if any) at which such remarketed Initial Bonds shall become subject to optional redemption in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and any premium associated with such optional redemption; provided, however, that no Initial Bonds shall be remarketed as Initial Bonds on any Initial Bonds Remarketing Date unless all Initial Bonds are repurchased at a price equal to the Purchase Price and there shall be delivered to the Trustee (i) an amendment to the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement pursuant to which (A) the Company and Jefferson Holdings shall agree to pay the Purchase Price of Initial Bonds tendered (or deemed tendered) on the following Initial Bonds Remarketing Date in the event any of such Initial Bonds have not been repurchased from proceeds of a remarketing or redeemed, or defeased to a date, on or prior to such following Initial Bonds Remarketing Date; and (B) Jefferson Holdings shall guarantee the payment of all Rent and all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Initial Bonds payable prior to repurchase of the Initial Bonds from proceeds of a remarketing or redemption of the Initial Bonds or defeasance of the Initial Bonds to a date, in each case, on or prior to the ensuing Initial Bonds Remarketing Date; (ii) an amendment to the Capital Call Agreement, pursuant to which FTAI shall agree (A) to provide funds sufficient to permit Jefferson Holdings to satisfy its obligations under the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement, as amended in connection with the foregoing; (B) to maintain on a consolidated basis “Total equity,” as reflected in FTAI’s quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC (or the equivalent thereof as reported by any successor to or assign of FTAI in accordance with the Capital Call Agreement), that is not less than two times the aggregate principal of and interest payable on or before the ensuing Initial Bonds Remarketing Date on the Initial Bonds; provided that FTAI may satisfy any deficiency between such “Total equity” and the amount that is two times the aggregate principal of and interest payable on or before the ensuing Initial Bonds Remarketing Date on the Initial Bonds as provided for in the Capital Call Agreement; (C) to maintain on a consolidated basis an aggregate book value of Aviation Assets that is not less than (1) the aggregate principal of and interest payable on or before the ensuing Initial Bonds Remarketing Date on the Initial Bonds, less (2) any cash held in the Reserve Fund on the date of determination; (D) not to, and cause its subsidiaries that hold any Aviation Assets (collectively, the “Aviation Subsidiaries”) not to, incur any liens securing indebtedness for borrowed money or capital leases on any asset of the Aviation Subsidiaries, other than certain liens permissible pursuant to the Capital Call Agreement; and (E) in the event that FTAI and its Aviation Subsidiaries are not in compliance with the covenants described above, and such noncompliance continues for two consecutive quarter-end dates as reflected in FTAI’s quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC (or, with respect to clause (D) above, such noncompliance continues for a period of not less than 90 days), FTAI will contribute to Jefferson Holdings an amount in cash equal to (1) the then-applicable Available Commitment, which amount will be held in the Reserve Fund, less (2) any cash held in the Reserve Fund on the date of determination (prior to any required contribution made pursuant to clause (1) above); and (iii) an amendment to the Facilities Lease providing for Facilities Lease Rent sufficient to furnish the payment of principal of and interest on the Initial Bonds (but not the Purchase Price therefor) as the same shall respectively be due and payable until all Initial Bonds have been repurchased from proceeds of a remarketing or redeemed, or defeased to a date on or prior to such following Initial Bonds Remarketing Date. Notice of the interest rate assigned to the Initial Bonds for the ensuing Initial Rate Period, the next Initial Bonds Remarketing Date, the optional redemption date (if any) and the premium associated therewith shall be delivered in writing by the Remarketing Agent to the District, the Company, Jefferson Holdings, the Trustee and the Tender Agent not later than one Business Day prior to such Initial Bonds Remarketing Date.

(i) No Liability. In determining the interest rates that the Bonds shall bear as provided in this Section, the Remarketing Agent shall have no liability to the District, the Company, Jefferson Holdings, the Tender Agent, the Trustee or any Holder, except for its negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 2.09 Persons Deemed Owners. The District, the Trustee, the Authenticating Agent, the Bond Registrar, the Tender Agent, the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any, and any of their respective agents shall treat the Person in whose name any Bond is registered on the Regular Record Date as the owner of such Bond for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 2.07) interest on such Bond and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever whether or not such Bond be overdue, and except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, neither the District, the Trustee, nor any agent of the District or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.10 Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange shall, if delivered to any Person other than the Bond Registrar, be delivered to the Bond Registrar and, if not already canceled, shall be promptly canceled by it. The District or the Company may at any time deliver to the Bond Registrar for cancellation any Bonds previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the District or the Company may have acquired in any lawful manner whatsoever, and all Bonds so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Bond Registrar. No Bonds shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Bonds canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Bonds held by the Bond Registrar shall be maintained or disposed of according to the retention policies of the Bond Registrar in effect from time to time.

Section 2.11 Subrogation. Whenever the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall make any payment to any Holder of the Bonds with funds drawn under a Credit Facility, the Credit Enhancer paying such draw and its assigns shall thereafter, to the extent of the amount so paid, be subrogated to the rights thereon of the Holders thereof to whom such payment was made, and such payment shall not be deemed paid by the District and such Bonds shall be deemed Outstanding for all purposes of this Indenture, to the extent of such payment, and shall not be cancelled and the Credit Enhancer shall be entitled to the registration of such Bonds evidencing such obligation.

Section 2.12 Conversion of Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds, Weekly Rate Bonds and Initial Bonds.

(a) All of the Daily Rate Bonds, Weekly Rate Bonds or Commercial Paper Rate Bonds may be converted to bear interest at any other Interest Mode (other than the Initial Rate) at the option of the District by written notice to the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent and the Tender Agent at least forty-five (45) days prior to the proposed Conversion Date; provided that no such Bond shall be converted to another Interest Mode (other than to a Fixed Rate) unless a Liquidity Facility or a Credit Facility is in place that enables the Bonds to be assigned an investment-grade credit rating by a Rating Service upon conversion to such Interest Mode. At least thirty (30) days prior to the Conversion Date, the Trustee shall notify the Bondholders, by first-class mail or overnight delivery, of the proposed Conversion Date and that their Bonds shall be subject to mandatory tender on such Conversion Date.

(b) On any Initial Bonds Remarketing Date, unless the Initial Bonds are purchased pursuant to the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement, or the Initial Bonds are being redeemed on such date by the District, the District shall either (i) cause the Initial Bonds to be remarketed as Initial Bonds or (ii) cause the Initial Bonds to be converted to bear interest at any other Interest Mode, in accordance with Section 2.08(h) hereof; provided that no such Initial Bond shall be converted to another Interest Mode (other than to a Fixed Rate) unless a Liquidity Facility or a Credit Facility is in place that enables the Bonds to be assigned an investment-grade credit rating by a Rating Service upon conversion to such Interest Mode.

(c) Multi-Modal Bonds that have been converted to a different Interest Mode shall bear interest at the Weekly Rate, Daily Rate, Commercial Paper Rate or Fixed Rate therefor, as appropriate, from the Conversion Date with respect to the prior Interest Mode and shall mature on the Stated Maturity of the Bonds (subject to redemption or acceleration pursuant to the terms of this Indenture).

(d) The conversion of Multi-Modal Bonds shall become effective on the Conversion Date with respect to the prior Interest Mode, provided that (i) the Trustee shall not have received a District Order that the conversion be revoked; (ii) the Trustee, the District, the Credit Enhancer, if any, and the Liquidity Bank, if any, shall have received an Opinion of Bond Counsel, dated such Conversion Date; (iii) the Weekly Rate or Rates, the Daily Rate or Rates, the Commercial Paper Rate or Rates, or the Fixed Rate or Rates have been determined as set forth in Section 2.08 hereof; and (iv) the Bonds to be converted are purchased or remarketed pursuant to an agreement between the District and a nationally recognized financial institution or dealer (which may be the Remarketing Agent). If a conversion does not become effective, the Daily Rate Bonds, the Weekly Rate Bonds, the Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or the Initial Bonds proposed to be converted shall remain in their Interest Mode, provided that (i) Bonds shall remain in the Daily Rate, the Weekly Rate, or the Commercial Paper Rate only if a Liquidity Facility or a Credit Facility remains in place that enables the Bonds to maintain an investment-grade credit rating by a Rating Service after the date that such conversion was to become effective, and (ii) Initial Bonds shall remain in the Initial Rate only to the extent that the conditions specified in Section 2.08(h) hereof for the remarketing of Initial Bonds as Initial Bonds on any Initial Bonds Remarketing Date have been met.

Page 22

(e) Once the Bonds are converted to Fixed Rate Bonds, they shall not be subject to further conversions.

Section 2.13 Temporary Initial Bonds. Pending the preparation of definitive Bonds, the District may execute, and, upon written direction of the District, the Bond Registrar shall deliver, temporary Bonds that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Bonds may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Bonds.

If temporary Bonds are issued, the District will cause definitive Bonds to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Bonds, the temporary Bonds shall be exchangeable for definitive Bonds upon surrender of the temporary Bonds at the office or agency of the District in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Bonds, the District shall execute and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Bonds of Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, temporary Bonds that have attached to them an executed registration certificate of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas in the form set forth in the applicable form of Bond shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Bonds.

Section 2.14 Book Entry System.

(a) The Bonds may and initially shall be registered under a Book Entry System maintained by a Depository. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions in this Indenture to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall govern at any time the Bonds are issued and Outstanding in Book Entry Form.

(b) Under the Book Entry System, the Bonds shall be issued in the form of a separate, single, fully registered and immobilized bond certificate representing the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds or shall be issued in several certificates, each not exceeding $100,000,000 denominations if required by the Depository. Except as provided herein, the ownership of such Bonds shall be registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, which will serve as initial Depository for the Bonds. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Bonds shall be shown by book entry on the records maintained and operated by the Depository and its participants and indirect participants (such participants and indirect participants being collectively referred to as the “Participants”), and transfers of ownership of beneficial interests shall be made only by the Depository and its Participants by book entry, and the District and the Trustee shall have no responsibility therefor. The Depository will be required to maintain records of the positions of Participants in the Bonds, and the Participants and persons acting through Participants will be required to maintain records of the purchasers of beneficial interests in the Bonds (the “Beneficial Owners”). Except as provided in subsections (i) and (p) of this Section 2.14, the Bonds shall not be transferable or exchangeable, except for transfer to another Depository or to another nominee of a Depository, or if required in connection with record keeping purposes.

(c) With respect to Bonds registered in the Bond Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, none of the District, the Company, Jefferson Holdings, the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any, the Tender Agent or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any Beneficial Owner for whom a Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds. NONE OF THE DISTRICT, THE COMPANY, JEFFERSON HOLDINGS, THE CREDIT ENHANCER, IF ANY, THE LIQUIDITY BANK, IF ANY, THE TENDER AGENT OR THE TRUSTEE WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO THE PARTICIPANTS OR THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE BONDS WITH RESPECT TO (i) THE ACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY THE DEPOSITORY OR ANY PARTICIPANT; (ii) THE PAYMENT BY THE DEPOSITORY OR ANY PARTICIPANT OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER IN RESPECT OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF, OR INTEREST, AND PREMIUM, IF ANY, ON OR REDEMPTION PRICE OR PURCHASE PRICE OF THE BONDS; (iii) THE DELIVERY BY THE DEPOSITORY OR ANY PARTICIPANT OF ANY NOTICE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER THAT IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED TO BE GIVEN TO HOLDERS UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS INDENTURE; (iv) THE SELECTION OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF ANY PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS; OR (v) ANY CONSENT GIVEN OR OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY THE DEPOSITORY AS OWNER OF THE BONDS. NONE OF THE DISTRICT, THE COMPANY, JEFFERSON HOLDINGS, THE TENDER AGENT OR THE TRUSTEE HAS ANY DIRECT OBLIGATION OR RESPONSIBILITY TO PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIAL OWNERS.

(d) So long as the Bonds or any portions thereof are registered in the name of a Depository or any nominee thereof, all payments of principal of (premium, if any) or interest on the Bonds and Purchase Price or redemption price of such Bonds shall be made only to or upon the order of such Depository on the dates and at the times provided for such payment under this Indenture and at the address indicated for such Depository in the Bond Register kept by the Bond Registrar by transfer of immediately available funds; provided that the Trustee or Tender Agent has received sufficient funds from the sources described in this Indenture to make such payment. Each such payment to the Depository or its nominee shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge all liability of the District or the Trustee or the Tender Agent with respect to the principal of (premium, if any) or interest on the Bonds, and Purchase Price or redemption price with respect to the Bonds so registered to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. In the event of payment of the Purchase Price of the Bonds or in the event of the redemption of less than all of the Bonds Outstanding of any Stated Maturity, the Trustee or the Tender Agent shall not require surrender by the Depository or its nominee of the Bonds so purchased or redeemed, and the Depository may retain such Bonds. In the event of partial purchase or redemption of the Bonds, the Depository shall make an appropriate notation on the Bonds as to the amount of such partial redemption; provided that the Depository shall deliver to the Trustee, upon request, a written confirmation of such partial redemption and thereafter the records maintained by the Trustee shall be conclusive as to the amount of the Bonds of such Stated Maturity which have been redeemed or purchased. None of the District, the Company, Jefferson Holdings, the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any, the Tender Agent or the Trustee shall be liable for the failure of the Depository to properly indicate on the Bonds the payment of such principal or redemption price.

(e) All transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds when issued in Book Entry Form shall be effected by procedures promulgated by the Depository with its Participants for recording and transferring the ownership of beneficial interest in each of such Bonds.

(f) The District, the Company, the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any, the Tender Agent, the Bond Registrar, and the Trustee and any of their respective agents may treat the Depository (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive Bondholder of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of (premium, if any) or interest on the Bonds or Purchase Price or redemption price with respect to the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed or purchased, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to Bondholders under this Indenture, registering the transfer of Bonds, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Bondholders and for all other purposes whatsoever; and the District, the Company, the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any, the Tender Agent and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(g) So long as the Bonds are registered in the name of the Depository or any nominee thereof, all notices required or permitted to be given to the Holders of such Bonds under this Indenture shall be given to the Depository in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depository. In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Holders pursuant to this Indenture by the District, the Company, the Tender Agent or the Trustee with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by Holders, the Depository shall consider the date of receipt of notice requesting such consent or other action as the record date for such consent or other action, provided that the District, the Tender Agent or the Trustee may establish a special record date for such consent or other action. The District, the Tender Agent or the Trustee shall give the Depository notice of such special record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such special record date to the extent possible.

(h) Any successor Trustee or Tender Agent, in its written acceptance of its duties under this Indenture, shall agree to take any actions necessary from time to time to comply with the requirements of such Depository.

(i) The Depository may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable written notice to the Trustee and the District and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. Under such circumstance (if there is not a successor Depository), Bond certificates will be delivered as described elsewhere in Article II of this Indenture. Upon receipt of such notice from the Depository, the Trustee shall provide a copy of the notice to the District. The District, in its sole discretion, and without the consent of any other Person, may terminate the services of the Depository with respect to the Bonds if the District determines that: (i) the Depository is unable to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Bonds; or (ii) a continuation of the requirement that all of the Bonds be registered in the Bond Register in the name of the nominee of the Depository is not in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners. In the event that no substitute Depository is found by the District or restricted registration is no longer in effect, Bond certificates will be delivered as described in Article II of this Indenture. Upon the termination of the services of the Depository with respect to the Bonds pursuant to this Section 2.14(i), after which no successor Depository willing to undertake the functions of the Depository hereunder can be found that, in the opinion of the District, is willing and able to undertake such functions upon reasonable and customary terms, the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Bond Register in the name of the nominee of the Depository, but may be registered in the name or names and in such maturities and principal amounts as the Depository shall designate in writing to the Bond Registrar in accordance with the provisions elsewhere in Article II of this Indenture, but without any liability on the part of the District or the Bond Registrar for the accuracy of such designation. Upon the termination of the services of the Depository with respect to the Bonds for any reason and the appointment of a successor Depository, all references in this Indenture to the Depository shall refer to such successor Depository. Whenever the Depository requests the District and the Trustee to do so, the District and the Trustee shall cooperate with the Depository in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to arrange for another Depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the Bonds.

(j) For Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds, Weekly Rate Bonds and Initial Bonds, the Paying Agent shall notify the Depository of interest payable on the Interest Payment Date as provided in the policies and procedures of the Depository or any letter of representation (the “Representation Letter”) entered into among the District, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent addressed to the Depository with respect to the Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds, Weekly Rate Bonds and Initial Bonds.

(k) Any notices regarding the determination of the Daily Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Weekly Rate or the Initial Rate shall also be sent by the Remarketing Agent to the Depository in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depository, including the provisions of the Representation Letter.

(l) Any notices regarding a conversion to a different Interest Mode shall also be sent to the Depository in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depository, including the provisions of the Representation Letter.

(m) Tenders and all deliveries of Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds, Weekly Rate Bonds and Initial Bonds shall be made pursuant to the Depository’s deliver order procedures, as are in effect from time to time.

(n) Upon remarketing of Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds, Weekly Rate Bonds or Initial Bonds, payment of the Purchase Price thereof shall be made to the Depository, and no surrender of Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds, Initial Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds is required. Such sales shall be made through the Participants (which may include the Remarketing Agent) to the new Beneficial Owners of such Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds, Weekly Rate Bonds or Initial Bonds, as applicable, and the Participants shall transmit payment to Beneficial Owners whose Bonds were purchased pursuant to a remarketing. None of the District, the Trustee, Jefferson Holdings, the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any, the Tender Agent or the Remarketing Agent are responsible for transfer of payment to the Participants or Beneficial Owners.

(o) So long as any Bonds are registered in the name of the nominee of the Depository, a legend prescribed by the Depository to that effect may but need not be printed on such Bond certificate.

(p) Any Bonds that are Liquidity Bank Bonds, at the request of the Liquidity Bank, shall be withdrawn from the Book Entry System, registered by the Bond Registrar in the name of the Liquidity Bank and delivered in certificated form to or at the direction of the Liquidity Bank.

Section 2.15 Liquidity Facility.

(a) No Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds shall be delivered unless a Liquidity Facility complying with the terms hereof shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee (if the beneficiary of the Liquidity Facility, otherwise the Tender Agent) shall draw on the Liquidity Facility pursuant to the terms thereof and this Indenture for the purpose of paying the Purchase Price of Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds that are tendered or deemed tendered for purchase pursuant to a Mandatory Tender, or in the case of Daily Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds, an Optional Tender, if in each case such Bonds are not remarketed.

(b) The Trustee shall release and return the Liquidity Facility (which secures the Purchase Price of any Bonds) to the Liquidity Bank to an address specified by the Liquidity Bank (1) when there are no such Outstanding Bonds (determined without regard to Section 10.02 hereof); or (2) when the Liquidity Facility has expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms; or (3) when a successor Trustee has been appointed and qualified pursuant to Article VIII hereof, and a new Liquidity Facility has been issued to such successor Trustee; or (4) when the maximum aggregate credit available under the Liquidity Facility is reduced pursuant to the terms thereof and the Liquidity Bank has issued a new Liquidity Facility to the Trustee in the stated amount of the maximum aggregate credit available under the Liquidity Facility as so reduced but otherwise identical to the Liquidity Facility to be released; or (5) when there is in effect an alternate Liquidity Facility satisfactory to the Trustee if the Trustee shall have written notice from each Rating Service maintaining a short-term credit rating with respect to the Bonds at such time that such release will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of its short-term credit rating then assigned to the Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds secured by such Liquidity Facility; or (6) on the Conversion Date when all such Bonds are converted to Fixed Rate Bonds.

Section 2.16 Acceptance of a Liquidity Facility.

(a) The Trustee shall accept a Liquidity Facility, including a Liquidity Facility in substitution for the Liquidity Facility then in effect or an extension or amendment thereof, only upon receipt of an Opinion of Bond Counsel stating that (1) such Liquidity Facility, or extension or amendment, satisfies the conditions of this Section; (2) such Liquidity Facility, or extension or amendment, constitutes a valid, and binding obligation of the obligor thereon and is enforceable in accordance with its terms (except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws for the relief of debtors other than the District or the Company and by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion); (3) such Liquidity Facility, or extension or amendment, is not subject to registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or that such registration requirements have been complied with; and (4) the acceptance of such Liquidity Facility will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on any Bond; provided, however, that to the extent remarketing proceeds are not available, the Trustee shall draw on the existing Liquidity Facility in connection with any mandatory tender required by the proposed acceptance of an alternate Liquidity Facility and shall not release or surrender the existing Liquidity Facility until the existing Liquidity Bank has honored such draw. The Trustee shall not be required to accept any such alternate Liquidity Facility which materially adversely affects the rights, duties, and immunities of the Trustee or its agents hereunder.

(b) The Trustee shall receive notice from the District at least forty-five (45) days prior to the proposed substitution of any existing Liquidity Facility. Following receipt of such notice of an alternate Liquidity Facility, the Trustee shall send written notice to the Holders of the Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds that such substitution shall occur on a specified date without a Mandatory Tender if each Rating Service maintaining a short-term credit rating with respect to the Bonds at such time has notified the Trustee that the substitution will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of its short-term credit rating then assigned to the Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds. Notices shall be sent by facsimile, first-class mail or overnight delivery, at least 10 Business Days prior to the proposed date of substitution.

Section 2.17 Purchase Fund.

(a) While Initial Bonds, Daily Rate Bonds, Weekly Rate Bonds or Commercial Paper Rate Bonds are Outstanding, the Tender Agent shall establish a special fund to be designated the “Port of Beaumont Navigation District of Jefferson County, Texas Dock and Wharf Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 2016 (Jefferson Energy Companies Project) Purchase Fund” (the “Purchase Fund”) and for the account of the Persons described in subsection (c) of this Section until all Initial Bonds, Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds Outstanding and not yet due have been converted to bear interest at the Fixed Rate. The money deposited to the Purchase Fund shall be held in trust solely for the benefit of the respective Persons which shall have so delivered such money until the Initial Bonds, Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds purchased with such money are delivered to such Persons. The Bonds delivered for purchase hereunder shall be held in trust solely for the benefit of the respective Bondholders which have so delivered such Initial Bonds, Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds until money representing the Purchase Price of such Bonds has been delivered to or for the account of or to the order of such Bondholders and, thereafter, in the case of Liquidity Bank Bonds, for the benefit of the Liquidity Bank until disposed of pursuant to the instructions thereof. The Purchase Fund shall contain the following accounts: the Remarketing Account; the

Page 24

Initial Bonds Standby Bond Purchase Account; and the Liquidity Account, and each subaccount or account within the Purchase Fund shall be segregated from any other funds in the Purchase Fund and the deposits into such subaccounts or accounts and the monies in such subaccounts or accounts shall be used solely as described below. The Trustee shall deposit into the Remarketing Account proceeds of the remarketing of Initial Bonds, Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds (other than amounts remitted by the Company, Jefferson Holdings or any affiliates pursuant to the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement). Any amounts remitted by the Company, Jefferson Holdings or any affiliate and directed toward the purchase of Outstanding Bonds, other than pursuant to the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement, shall be considered remarketing proceeds and shall be deposited into the Remarketing Account. The Trustee shall deposit into the Liquidity Account the proceeds of draws made on a Liquidity Facility to pay the Purchase Price of Daily Rate Bonds, Weekly Rate Bonds and Commercial Paper Bonds. The Trustee shall deposit into the Initial Bonds Standby Bond Purchase Account amounts received from the Company, Jefferson Holdings or any affiliate or otherwise deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement.

(b) The Trustee shall, or shall cause the Tender Agent to, deposit to the credit of the Purchase Fund promptly upon receipt all amounts received by it for the purchase of Initial Bonds, Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds.

(ii) second, (A) with respect to Daily Rate Bonds, Weekly Rate Bonds and Commercial Paper Bonds, from the Liquidity Account of the Purchase Fund if the Liquidity Facility obligates the Liquidity Bank to provide funds for the purchase of such Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds (but not the Initial Bonds) tendered or deemed tendered pursuant to the provisions of the Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds, and (B) with respect to Initial Bonds, from amounts on deposit in the Initial Bonds Standby Bond Purchase Account transferred from the Company or Jefferson Holdings or otherwise deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement.

Not later than 15 days prior to any Initial Bonds Remarketing Date, the Trustee shall provide notice to the District, the Company, Jefferson Holdings and FTAI stating (A) the Initial Bonds Remarketing Date, (B) the Purchase Price scheduled for payment on such Initial Bonds Remarketing Date with respect to all Initial Bonds that are Outstanding at the time of such notice and (C) that, unless the Trustee notifies otherwise on the Initial Bonds Remarketing Date, such amount must be remitted to the Trustee by no later than 2:00 p.m., New York, New York, time on that day.

(ii) Prior to 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the Initial Bonds Remarketing Date, the Trustee shall (1) calculate the following amount (the “Initial Bonds Purchase Price Shortfall”): (A) the Purchase Price scheduled for payment on such Initial Bonds Remarketing Date with respect to all Outstanding Initial Bonds, less (B) the amount deposited by 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, to the Remarketing Account of the Purchase Fund from proceeds of the remarketing of such Initial Bonds; (2) provide notification via Electronic Means to the District, the Company, Jefferson Holdings and FTAI of the Initial Bonds Purchase Price Shortfall, even if such amount shall be equal to zero; (3) transfer any monies deposited in the Reserve Fund into the Initial Bonds Standby Bond Purchase Account; and (4) request that monies in the amount of the Initial Bonds Purchase Price Shortfall less any monies transferred into the Initial Bonds Standby Bond Purchase Account pursuant to clause (3) above (if such amount shall be greater than zero) be remitted to the Trustee by the Company, Jefferson Holdings and FTAI by no later than 2:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on that day. Moneys deposited with the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing sentence shall be deposited to the Initial Bonds Standby Bond Purchase Account. In the event the Trustee has not received the Purchase Price of all Outstanding Initial Bonds from remarketing proceeds and any funds provided pursuant to the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement, the Trustee shall promptly return remarketing proceeds to the respective Persons that delivered such money.

(iii) Initial Bonds purchased with monies from the Initial Bonds Standby Bond Purchase Account shall be delivered to the Tender Agent and shall be held in the name of the Company or Jefferson Holdings, as directed by the Company and Jefferson Holdings, pending future remarketing or cancellation thereof and, while so held, shall accrue interest at the Standby Rate. No such Bonds may be transferred unless the Remarketing Agent shall have given written notice to the District, the Company, Jefferson Holdings, the Trustee and the Tender Agent that such Initial Bonds have been remarketed at a price equal to the principal amount thereof. Such written notice shall also specify the Interest Mode or Interest Modes applicable to such remarketed Bonds and, with respect to any such remarketed Bonds that have been remarketed as Initial Bonds, the interest rate assigned to the Initial

If, at 5:00 p.m. New York, New York time on any Purchase Date with respect to Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds, any balance remains in the Purchase Fund, such excess shall be promptly disbursed, first, to the Liquidity Bank or the Credit Enhancer to the extent of any unpaid obligation under the Liquidity Facility or the Credit Facility, as applicable, and thereafter, to the District to the extent of any remaining balance. If, at 5:00 p.m. New York, New York time on any Purchase Date with respect to Initial Bonds, any balance remains in the Purchase Fund in excess of the unpaid Purchase Price of Initial Bonds, such excess shall be promptly disbursed to the District.

(g) In carrying out their respective responsibilities under this Section, the Trustee and the Tender Agent shall act on behalf and for the account and benefit of the Bondholders other than the District, Jefferson Holdings and the Company and not on behalf of, for the account or benefit of, or subject to the control of, the District, Jefferson Holdings or the Company.

(h) If and so long as there is a Liquidity Facility or a Credit Facility in effect, the Trustee or Tender Agent shall not release any Liquidity Bank Bond until it has received written notice that the amounts under the Liquidity Facility have been reinstated to cover such Liquidity Bank Bond.

(i) Any Bond (or portion thereof) for which notice of tender thereof on any Purchase Date is given in accordance with the provisions hereof, but which is not tendered for purchase by 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on such Purchase Date (such Bonds or portions herein referred to as “Untendered Bonds”) shall, upon deposit in the Purchase Fund of an amount sufficient to pay the Purchase Price of such Bond on such Purchase Date, be deemed to have been tendered and sold on such Purchase Date to the Person specified in Section 2.19 hereof, and thereafter (A)

Page 27

the Holder of such Untendered Bond thereof shall not be entitled to any payment (including any interest accrued subsequent to such Purchase Date) in respect thereof other than the Purchase Price for such Bond, and such Untendered Bond (except any Bond issued in lieu thereof pursuant to this paragraph) shall no longer be entitled to the benefit of this Indenture, except for the purpose of payment of the Purchase Price therefor; and (B) the District shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the Person specified in Section 2.19 hereof, one or more new Bonds of any Authorized Denomination of a like aggregate principal amount.

The Remarketing Agent shall remarket all Bonds at par and shall not remarket Bonds to the District or any guarantor of the Bonds or any affiliates thereof if such purchase would cause such Bonds to be no longer Outstanding, it being the intent hereof that any Bond purchased by the District or any affiliate shall not considered paid or discharged.

If, at 5:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on any Purchase Date, any balance remains in the Purchase Fund in excess of any unsatisfied purchase obligation with respect to Bonds that have been tendered or deemed tendered, such excess shall be promptly disbursed to the Liquidity Bank to the extent the amount drawn on the Liquidity Facility exceeds the cost of Bonds purchased under the Liquidity Facility, and thereafter any funds in the Remarketing Account may be disbursed to the District.

(d) Any Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds (or portion thereof) for which an Optional Tender has been exercised, or which is subject to Mandatory Tender, on any Purchase Date in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, but which is an Untendered Bond shall, upon deposit in the Purchase Fund of an amount sufficient to pay the Purchase Price of such Bond on such Purchase Date, be deemed to have been tendered and sold for the Purchase Price on such Purchase Date, regardless of whether (i) in the case of a Mandatory Tender, the Holder thereof shall have received the notices described in paragraph 4 of Exhibit B hereto, the form of Daily Rate Bond; paragraph 4 of Exhibit C hereto, the form of Commercial Paper Rate Bond; or paragraph 4 of Exhibit E hereto, the form of Weekly Rate Bond, or (ii) in connection with a Conversion Date, such Daily Rate Bonds, Commercial Paper Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds actually convert to a new Interest Mode, and thereafter the holder of such Untendered Bond shall not be entitled to any payment (including any interest accrued subsequent to such Purchase Date) in respect thereof other than the Purchase Price for such Untendered Bond, and such Untendered Bond shall no longer be entitled to the benefit of this Indenture or the Liquidity Facility, except for the purpose of payment of the Purchase Price therefor.

Section 2.22 Alternate Credit Facility. The Trustee shall accept an alternate Credit Facility in substitution for any Credit Facility then in effect or to confirm the Credit Facility then in effect, or an extension or amendment thereof, only upon: (a) receipt of an Opinion of Bond Counsel, (b) a certificate from the Credit Enhancer to the effect that there are then and will be at the close of business on the date of release and return pursuant to Section 2.21 hereof no obligations owed by the Company to the Credit Enhancer arising out of or relating to the Credit Facility, and (c) receipt of an Opinion of Counsel that (1) such alternate Credit Facility, or extension or amendment, satisfies the conditions of this Section (2) such alternate Credit Facility, or extension or amendments, constitutes a valid, and binding obligation of the obligor thereon and is enforceable in accordance with its terms (except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws for the relief of debtors other than the District or the Company and by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion), (3) such alternate Credit Facility, extension or amendment is not subject to registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or that such registration requirements have been complied with, and (4) the substitution of such alternate Credit Facility for the Credit Facility then in effect will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on any Bond. The Trustee shall not be required to accept any such alternate Credit Facility, extension or amendment which materially adversely affects the rights, duties, or immunities of the Trustee, its agents, or the Tender Agent hereunder. To the extent the Remarketing Agent fails to remarket Bonds pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, the Trustee shall draw on the existing Credit Facility in connection with any required mandatory tender arising as a result of the proposed acceptance of an alternate Credit Facility and shall not release or surrender the existing Credit Facility until the existing Credit Enhancer has honored such drawing.

(c) If any Bonds other than the Additional Bonds will remain Outstanding after the issue date of such Additional Bonds, the District and the Trustee shall have received written confirmation from each Rating Service then rating the Bonds, if any, that the issuance of such Additional Bonds shall not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of the rating then in effect with respect to the Initial Bonds.

REDEMPTION OF BONDS

Section 3.01 Redemption.

(a) General. The Initial Bonds shall be subject to redemption as set forth in the Approval Certificate. The Daily Rate Bonds shall be subject to redemption as set forth in Exhibit B, the form of Daily Rate Bond. The Commercial Paper Rate Bonds shall be subject to redemption as set forth in Exhibit C, the form of Commercial Paper Rate Bond. The Fixed Rate Bonds shall be subject to redemption as set forth in Exhibit D, the form of Fixed Rate Bond. The Weekly Rate Bonds shall be subject to redemption as set forth in Exhibit E, the form of Weekly Rate Bond.

(b) Conditional Notice of Redemption. In the case of the election by the District to redeem Bonds, the District reserves the right to give notice of its election or direction to redeem Bonds conditioned upon the occurrence of subsequent events, including, but not limited to, the availability of funds on deposit for such redemption on the redemption date. In such a case, the notice of redemption shall state the condition or conditions of such redemption. If the condition or conditions are not fulfilled, the District shall promptly give the Trustee notice thereof (in a timely manner to permit the Trustee to give notice to the Depository in a timely manner in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Depository), and the Trustee shall give prompt notice of any such rescission of a conditional notice of redemption to the affected Holders of the Bonds. Any Bonds subject to conditional redemption whose redemption has been rescinded shall remain Outstanding, and the rescission of such redemption shall not constitute an Event of Default. Further, in the case of a conditional redemption, the failure of the District to make monies and or authorized securities available in part or in whole on or before the redemption date shall not constitute an Event of Default.

Section 3.02 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The District shall have the right to redeem Bonds that are subject to redemption, upon written notice to the Trustee provided not less than five (5) days prior to the date the Trustee is required to provide notice to Bondholders of such redemption.

Section 3.03 Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed. If less than all of the Bonds of a particular Stated Maturity are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected prior to

Page 35

the redemption date by the District from the Outstanding Bonds of such Stated Maturity not previously called for redemption. The District may select Bonds for redemption of portions (equal to an Authorized Denomination) of the principal of Bonds of a denomination larger than the minimum Authorized Denomination. In any case, Liquidity Bank Bonds shall be redeemed prior to other Multi-Modal Bonds. If the District does not otherwise give written advice to the Trustee regarding means of the selection of Bonds, selection of the Bonds for redemption will be made by the Trustee by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall determine and which is in accordance with the procedures of the Depository.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Bonds shall relate, in the case of any Bond redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Bond that has been or is to be redeemed.

Section 3.04 Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be sent by electronic transmission (for Bonds held in book-entry form) or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, of not less than fifteen (15) days in case of Bonds in an Interest Mode other than the Fixed Rate or the Initial Rate, and not less than thirty (30) days in the case of Bonds bearing interest at a Fixed Rate or an Initial Rate, prior to the redemption date (provided, however, that notice of redemption is not necessary for any Bonds subject to mandatory tender on such redemption date), to each Holder of Bonds to be redeemed, in accordance with the procedures of the Depository or at such Holder’s address appearing in the Bond Register. In addition, if Bonds are not in book entry, notice of redemption shall be sent by overnight delivery service contemporaneously with such mailing to two or more information services of national recognition that disseminate redemption information with respect to municipal bonds.

All notices of redemption shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the redemption price; (3) the identification, including complete official name and series designation of the Bonds and the CUSIP number (and in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) and maturity dates of the Bonds to be redeemed; (4) that on the redemption date, the redemption price having been deposited with the Trustee, each of the Bonds to be redeemed will become due and payable and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date; (5) the name and address of the Trustee and any Paying Agent for such Bonds, including the telephone number of a contact person and the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (6) each condition to such redemption and, if applicable, that, in the District’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

Notice of redemption of Bonds to be redeemed shall be given by the Trustee in the name of the District and at the expense of the Company. Any failure to give a notice of redemption of any Bond (or any defect therein) shall not affect the proceedings for redemption of any other Bonds.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of redemption shall be required with respect to any Bond tendered or deemed tendered for purchase on the redemption date which is redeemed in lieu of purchase.

Page 36

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. Subject to the condition described in Section 3.04(6), on or prior to any redemption date, the District shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price (which shall, in all cases, be from Pledged Revenues or from the refinancing of such Bonds) or if being purchased pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, the purchase price, of all the Bonds which are to be redeemed or purchased on such date.

Section 3.06 Bonds Payable on Redemption Date. Subject to Section 3.08 hereof, notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the deposit described in Section 3.05 having been made, and all conditions to such redemption having been fulfilled, the Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from and after such date such Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Bond for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bond shall be paid by the District at the redemption price. Installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Bonds registered as such on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms.

If any Bond called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the redemption date at the rate borne by the Bond.

Section 3.07 Bonds Redeemed in Part. Any Bond which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment (with, if the District or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the District and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the District shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Bond without service charge, a new Bond or Bonds of the same interest rate and Stated Maturity and of any Authorized Denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Bond so surrendered.

Upon the receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall, as directed by said certificate, transfer any remaining balance in the Project Fund, except with respect to the foregoing retention for claims (which shall be transferred to the Debt Service Fund upon the resolution of such dispute pertaining thereto as certified by the District to the Trustee), as designated on said certificate to the Debt Service Fund, which shall be used only to pay principal on the Series 2016 Bonds.

All such investments shall be credited to the Fund and account from which the money used to acquire such investments shall have come. The District shall direct investments in a matter that (i) all such deposits and investments shall have a market value exclusive of accrued interest at all times at least equal to the amount of money credited to such Funds, and (ii) the money required to be expended from any Fund will be available at the proper time or times.

(b) All income and profits on investments in any Fund shall be credited to such Fund and to the respective account within such Fund from which such investment was made. All losses on investments shall be charged against the Fund and account to which such investments are credited. The Trustee may make any and all investments through its own bond or securities department or the bond or securities department of any affiliate of the Trustee. As amounts invested are needed for disbursement from any Fund or account, the Trustee shall cause a sufficient amount of the investments credited to that Fund to be redeemed or sold and converted into cash, as directed by the District. In addition, the District shall direct the Trustee to sell investments when necessary to prevent any default in connection with the Bonds.

Section 4.09 Trustee and District Relieved From Responsibility. The Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon any District Request relating to investments and disbursements from any Fund, and shall not be liable for any losses on investments made in accordance with this Indenture or for interest on the Bonds becoming includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes as a result of complying with any such District Request, and shall not be required to ascertain any facts with respect to any such Request. The Trustee may rely on the directions of the District with respect to the suitability and legality of the investments to be made pursuant to such directions.

Section 4.10 Waiver of Trade Confirmations. Although the District recognizes that it may obtain a broker confirmation with respect to the investment of monies in any Fund or account (or a written statement containing comparable information) at no additional cost, the District agrees that confirmations of investments are not required to be issued by the Trustee for any month in which a monthly statement is rendered. No statement need be rendered for any Fund or account for any month if no activity occurred in such Fund or account during such month.

Section 4.11 Reserve Fund. There is hereby created by and established with the Trustee a special fund of the Company designated its “Port of Beaumont Navigation District of Jefferson County, Texas Dock and Wharf Facility Revenue Bonds (Jefferson Energy Companies Project) Reserve Fund” (herein referred to as the “Reserve Fund”). The money deposited to the Reserve Fund, including all money therein and all investments thereof, shall be held in trust and applied solely as provided in this Section. The Trustee shall deposit to the credit of the Reserve Fund all amounts received from FTAI, directly or through Jefferson Holdings, for the credit of Jefferson Holdings pursuant to the Capital Call Agreement on account of any failure by FTAI to comply with the covenants described in Section 21 of the Capital Call Agreement for the respective periods of noncompliance applicable to each such covenant described therein. The Trustee shall apply amounts credited to the Reserve Fund to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, or the Purchase Price of, the Bonds when due, to the extent that amounts available for such purpose in all other Funds held by the Trustee hereunder are insufficient to make such payment. When all Initial Bonds have been repurchased on or after, or defeased to a date on or before, the Initial Bonds Remarketing Date or redeemed and cancelled, the Trustee shall remit any funds remaining in the Reserve Fund to or on the order of the Company.

The District will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Bonds in accordance with the terms of the Bonds and this Indenture; provided, however, that the Bonds and the other obligations of the District provided for herein shall be special limited obligations of the District and shall be payable by the District solely out of the Trust Estate and the revenues derived therefrom or in connection with and in accordance with the Bond Documents. The Bonds and the other expense reimbursement obligations of the District provided for herein shall never be payable out of any other funds of the District except the Trust Estate and such revenues.

If the specified date for any such payment shall be a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday or the equivalent for banking institutions generally (other than a moratorium) at the place where payment thereof is to be made, then such payment may be made on the next succeeding day which is not one of the foregoing days without additional interest and with the same force and effect as if made on the specified date for such payment.

Section 5.02 Money for Bond Payments to be Held in Trust; Appointment of Paying Agents. The District shall appoint a Paying Agent in each Place of Payment for the Bonds. Each such Paying Agent appointed by the District shall be a corporation organized and doing business

Page 42

under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. The District will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Bonds, deposit or cause to be deposited (but only from the sources provided herein) with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such Bonds. Each Paying Agent for the Bonds shall provide the CUSIP number for the Bond with each payment of interest on and the principal or the redemption price of any Bond, specifying the amount paid in respect of each CUSIP number. The Paying Agents shall make payment of interest or the redemption price of any Bond by wire transfer to a bank account located within the United States of Federal Reserve Funds to any Holder of Daily Rate Bonds or Weekly Rate Bonds, or any Holder of $1,000,000 or more in principal amount of Fixed Rate Bonds, or any Holder of Commercial Paper Rate Bonds requesting such payment and providing the necessary information prior to the applicable record date.

The District hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Paying Agent for the Bonds. The Trustee shall accept such appointment by executing this Indenture in such capacity on the signature page hereto.

The District will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Bonds in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the District (or any other obligor upon the Bonds) in the making of any such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest; and

(3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The District may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, direct in writing any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Except as otherwise required by law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Bond and remaining unclaimed for the later of (i) the first anniversary of the Stated Maturity of the Bond

Page 43

or the installment of interest for the payment of which such money is held or (ii) two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall (subject to the escheat laws of the State) be paid to the District and the Holder of such Bond shall thereafter, to the extent of any legal right or claim, shall look only to the District for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the District, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee, the District or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper of general circulation, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the District.

Section 5.03 Instruments of Further Assurance. The District covenants that to the extent of its power to do so, it will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such indentures supplemental hereto and such further acts, instruments and transfers as the Trustee may reasonably require for the better assigning, pledging and confirming unto the Trustee of the Trust Estate assigned and the revenues pledged hereunder all at the expense of the Company.

Section 5.04 Maintenance of Rights. The District will use its best efforts to perform and observe all obligations to be performed by it under the Bond Documents. The District will maintain the validity and effectiveness of the Bond Documents and, except as permitted hereby, take no action, and not knowingly omit to take any reasonable action, the taking or omission of which might release any party from its liabilities or obligations under the Bond Documents, or result in the surrender, termination, amendment, or modification of, or impair the validity of, any Bond Document. The District agrees that the Trustee, subject to the conditions thereof, may enforce for and on behalf of the Holders all of the covenants and agreements of the parties to the Bond Documents (other than the Trustee) as set forth in the Bond Documents, whether or not the District is in default hereunder.

Section 5.05 Corporate Existence. Subject to Article VI, the District will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and rights (charter and statutory).

Section 5.06 Limitations on Liens, Debt and Disposition of Assets. Except as permitted or contemplated in this Indenture, the District covenants that it will not: (i) create any mortgage, lien, encumbrance, pledge, charge or other exception to title (other than those created by this Indenture) upon or against any Bond Financed Property or any of the properties or assets constituting the Trust Estate, or any revenues derived therefrom or any other funds held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders superior to or ranking on parity with the lien created by this Indenture; (ii) sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Bond Financed Property (except as may be provided in the Facilities Lease) or the Trust Estate or its interest therein except subject to the interests of the Trustee created by this Indenture; (iii) create, incur or assume any debt secured by the Bond Financed Property or the Trust Estate or the District’s interest therein or the revenues pledged herein except in connection with the issuance of Additional Bonds or on a basis

Page 44

subordinate to the liens created hereby; or (iv) knowingly take any other action that will materially impair the lien of this Indenture on the Trust Estate.

Section 5.07 Tax Covenants.

(a) The District covenants and agrees that until the final Maturity of the Bonds, it will not knowingly use or direct the use of any money on deposit in any fund or account maintained in connection with the Bonds, whether or not such money was derived from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or from any other source, in a manner that would cause the Bonds of any issue to be arbitrage bonds, within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. In the event the District, upon the advice of Bond Counsel, determines that it is necessary to restrict or limit the yield on the investment of money held by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, or to use such money in any certain manner to avoid the Bonds being considered arbitrage bonds, the District shall deliver to the Trustee an Order containing appropriate instructions, in which event the Trustee shall take such action as is necessary to restrict or limit the yield on such investment or to use such money in accordance with such Order.

(b) The District shall not knowingly use or direct the use of any proceeds of the Bonds or any other funds of the District, directly or indirectly, in any manner, and shall not take or permit to be taken any other action or actions, which would result in any of the Bonds being treated other than as an obligation described in Section 103(a) of the Code.

(c) The District will not knowingly take any action or omit to take any action, which action or omission will adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds, and in the event of such action or omission will promptly, upon receiving knowledge thereof, take all lawful actions, based on advice of Bond Counsel and at the expense of the Company, as may rescind or otherwise negate such action or omission.

(d) The District will not knowingly take any action which would result in all or any portion of the Bonds being treated as federally guaranteed within the meaning of Section 149(b)(2) of the Code.

(e) For purposes of this Section 5.07, the District’s compliance shall be based solely on acts or omissions by the District and no acts or omissions of, or directed by, the Company, the Trustee or any other Persons shall be attributed to the District.

All officers, employees and agents of the District are authorized and directed to provide certifications of facts and estimates that are material to the reasonable expectations of the District as of the date of delivery of the Bonds. In complying with the foregoing covenants, the District may rely from time to time upon an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that any action by the District or reliance upon any interpretation of the Code or the Regulations contained in such opinion will not cause interest on the Bonds to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing law.

Section 5.08 Change in Law. To the extent that published rulings of the IRS, or amendments to the Code or the Regulations modify the covenants of the District or the Trustee

Page 45

which are set forth in this Indenture or which are necessary for interest on any issue of the Bonds to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, the Trustee and the District will comply with such modifications.

Section 5.09 Purchase of Bonds. The District agrees to promptly notify the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any, the Company, and the Trustee of any purchase or acquisition by the District of any Bonds.

(i) shall, if the Trustee shall have received the written request of the Holders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding and (only if a Credit Facility is then in effect and secures the debt service on all Multi-Modal Bonds Outstanding and the Credit Enhancer is not then in default of its payment obligations thereunder) the written consent of the Credit Enhancer, and

(ii) may, subject to the written consent of the Credit Enhancer, if any, and shall, upon the written direction of the Credit Enhancer so long as, in either case, a Credit Facility is then in effect and the Credit Enhancer is not then in default of its payment obligations thereunder,

declare the principal of the Outstanding Bonds to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration such principal together with accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable, and the Trustee shall give written notice to the District, the Company and the Holders of the Bonds that the principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Bonds have been declared to be due and payable immediately.

(b) If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(6) occurs, the principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Bonds shall become due and payable immediately and, upon receipt of knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall give written notice to the District, the Company and the Holders of the Bonds that the principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Bonds have become due and payable immediately.

(c) Notwithstanding any other notice requirement provided herein, if an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(5) occurs while a Liquidity Facility is in effect hereunder and the Liquidity Bank is not in default of its respective payment obligations thereunder, the Trustee shall declare the principal of all the Outstanding Bonds to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the District, the Company, and Holder of the Bonds, and upon the date of any such declaration, such principal shall become immediately due and payable, all interest on all Outstanding Bonds shall cease to accrue on the date of declaration of acceleration and interest.

(e) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds Outstanding, by written notice to the District and the Trustee, in the case of any acceleration of maturity of the Bonds may, with the approval of the Credit Enhancer (if a Credit Facility is then in effect and the Credit Enhancer is not then in default of its payment obligations thereunder), direct the Trustee to rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

Page 48

(1) the District has caused to be paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

(4) if a Credit Facility, a Liquidity Facility or the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement shall have been in effect hereunder immediately prior to such declaration, the provider of such Credit Facility, Liquidity Facility or Standby Bond Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, shall have given written notice to the Trustee that the Credit Facility, Liquidity Facility or Standby Bond Purchase Agreement will be in effect on the date such rescission and annulment becomes effective in a stated amount at least equal to the stated amount thereof immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The District covenants that if

(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Bond when such interest becomes due and payable, or

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Bond when such principal becomes due and payable, or

(3) default is made in the payment of the Purchase Price on any Bond when due,

Page 49

the District will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay (but solely from the Trust Estate, the Pledged Revenues and funds received from the Company) to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds, the whole amount then due and payable on such Bonds for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any); and shall pay to the Trustee such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If the District fails to pay any of the foregoing amounts forthwith upon demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the District or any other obligor upon the Bonds and collect the money adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law solely out of the property constituting a part of the Trust Estate pledged to the Bonds.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Bonds by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 7.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the District, the Company, Jefferson Holdings or any other obligor upon the Bonds or property of the District, of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Bonds shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand, on the District, the Company or such other obligor for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Bonds and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders of Bonds allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(ii) to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Bonds to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Bonds, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under this Indenture.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of Bonds any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Bonds or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of Bonds in any such proceeding.

Section 7.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Bonds. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Bonds may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Bonds in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Page 50

Section 7.06 Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Bonds and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

(a) First, to the payment of the Trustee of any fees or expenses of the Trustee then due and payable;

(b) Second, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Bonds, for interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Bonds for interest;

(c) Third, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Bonds, for principal (and premium, if any), in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Bonds for principal (and premium, if any); and

(d) Fourth, to the District, any remaining amounts of money so collected.

Any amounts drawn under the Credit Facility or the Liquidity Facility, or money in the Credit Facility Fund or the Liquidity Account of the Purchase Fund, shall be applied in payment of the Holders of the Multi-Modal Bonds secured thereby as provided in the applicable provisions of Articles II and IV of this Indenture.

For purposes of this Section 7.06, the Trustee may assume that no Bonds are registered in the name of the Company, or an affiliate thereof, or such entity is a beneficial holder thereof unless a written notice of such ownership is delivered to a Responsible Officer at the Trustee’s office at the address specified in Section 1.05 of this Indenture.

Section 7.07 Limitation on Suits. The Holder of any Bond shall have no right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(c) such Holder has offered to the satisfaction of the Trustee indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

Page 51

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Bonds shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Bonds, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders, to take any action that would affect the validity of the lien of this Indenture on the Trust Estate, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Bonds.

Section 7.08 Unconditional Right of Holders of Bonds to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Bond shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Bond, but solely from the sources provided in this Indenture, on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Bond (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 7.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of Bonds has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee, or such Holder of Bonds, then and in every such case the District, the Trustee and the Holders of Bonds shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, and the Holders of Bonds shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Page 52

Section 7.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, or the Holders of Bonds is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 7.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee, or any Holder of any Bond to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee, the Credit Enhancer, or the Holders of Bonds may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, or the Holders of Bonds, as the case may be.

Section 7.12 Control by Holders of Bonds.

(a) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that:

(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and

(ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 7.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds may waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except:

(b) an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(5), or

(c) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected.

Upon any such waiver such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

The District covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the District (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants (to the extent it may lawfully do so) that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(d) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture, unless there shall have been offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in connection with such request or direction and for the payment of the Trustee’s fees in connection therewith; provided, however, that, anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, no indemnification of the Trustee is required prior to the Trustee making payments on the Bonds when due, causing an acceleration or tender required by this Indenture, redeeming Bonds or drawing on the Credit Facility or the Liquidity Facility when directed by this Indenture (each a “Nondiscretionary Duty”), but the Trustee shall not be deemed to have waived or released its right to indemnification from any entity by its undertaking or discharging such Nondiscretionary Duty hereunder;

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture or other paper or document but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the District, personally or by agent or attorney;

(h) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default hereunder unless the Trustee shall be specifically notified of such Event of Default in writing by the District, or the Company or by the Holders of at least 30% of the principal amount of Outstanding Bonds, and in the absence of such notice the Trustee may conclusively assume that no Event of Default exists; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be required to take and be

Page 56

deemed to have notice of its failure to receive the money necessary to make payments when due of debt service;

(i) The Trustee may seek the approval of the Holders of the Bonds by any means it deems appropriate and not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture in connection with the giving of any consent or taking of any action in its capacity as Holder of any Bond;

Section 8.04 Not Responsible For Recitals or Issuance of Bonds. The recitals contained herein and in the Bonds (other than the certificate of authentication on such Bonds) shall be taken as the statements of the District and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the value or condition of the Trust Estate or any part thereof, or as to the title of the District thereto or as to the security afforded thereby or hereby; as to the validity or genuineness of any securities at any time pledged and deposited with the Trustee hereunder; as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Bonds; or as to the correctness or sufficiency of any statement made in connection with the offer or sale of the Bonds. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the District or the Company of any of the Bonds or of the proceeds of such Bonds.

Section 8.05 Trustee May Own Bonds. The Trustee or any other agent appointed hereunder, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Bonds and may otherwise deal with the District with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or such other agent.

Section 8.06 Money to Be Held in Trust. All money received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied 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 by law. Neither the Trustee nor the Tender Agent shall be under any liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder other than such interest as it expressly agrees in writing with the District to pay.

Section 8.07 Compensation and Expenses of Trustee and Paying Agent. The District agrees, but solely from the Trust Estate and the revenues pledged by this Indenture to such payment:

Page 57

(1) to pay to the Trustee, Tender Agent, Bond Registrar, Authenticating Agent, and Paying Agent from time to time, when due, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by them hereunder, including extraordinary services during the existence of a default, which shall not be limited by any law limiting the compensation of the trustee of an express trust; and

(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee, the Tender Agent and the Paying Agent upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, the Tender Agent or such Paying Agent in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and securities or transaction charges to the extent not waived by the Trustee as a result of its receipt of compensation with respect to such securities or transactions) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to the willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith of such Person.

As such security for the performance of the obligations of the District under this Section the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Bonds upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, excluding the Credit Facility Fund and Purchase Fund.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, such expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law or law relating to creditors’ rights generally.

Section 8.08 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be an entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 8.09 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 8.10.

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the District. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by (i) act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, delivered to the Trustee, or (ii) the District.

(d) If at any time:

(1) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 8.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the District or by any such Holder of Bonds, or

Page 58

(2) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the District may remove, upon written direction, the Trustee, or (ii) subject to Section 7.13, any Holder of Bonds who has been a bona fide Holder of a Bond for at least 6 months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the District shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within sixty (60) days after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds delivered to the District and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the District. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the District or the Holders of Bonds and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, the Trustee or any Holder of Bonds who has been a bona fide Holder of a Bond for at least 6 months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) So long as no default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the District at any time may (with the written consent of the Credit Enhancer so long as the Credit Enhancer is not in default of its obligations under the Credit Facility) remove the Trustee and appoint a substitute Trustee. If there is not Credit Facility or the Credit Enhancer is in default of its obligations under the Credit Facility, the District at any time may (with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding), remove the Trustee and appoint a substitute Trustee.

(g) The District shall give, or cause to be given, notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Bonds at their addresses as shown in the Bond Register. Each notice shall include the name and address of the applicable corporate trust office or payment office of the successor Trustee.

Section 8.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the District and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the District or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Trustee, the Credit Facility, the Liquidity Facility, and all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the District shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

Section 8.11 Merger or Consolidation. Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor Trustee hereunder, provided such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, to the extent operative, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Bonds shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Bonds so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Bonds.

Section 8.12 Authenticating Agent. There may (and whenever the Trustee shall not maintain an office or agent in each Place of Payment there shall) be an Authenticating Agent appointed by the Trustee with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of the Bonds in connection with delivery of Bonds pursuant to Section 2.03 and transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.05, 2.06 and 3.07, as fully to all intents and purposes as though the Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections to authenticate and deliver the Bonds. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of the Bonds by the Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be the authentication and delivery of the Bonds “by the Trustee”.

The Trustee is hereby appointed Authenticating Agent with respect to the Bonds.

Each Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a bank or trust company having an office or agent in a Place of Payment, and shall at all times be an entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

Any entity into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, consolidation, or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of the Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor entity is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the Authenticating Agent or such successor entity.

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the District, the Credit Enhancer, the Liquidity Bank and the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the District, the Credit Enhancer, the Liquidity Bank, and the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee with the approval of the Credit Enhancer and the Liquidity Bank shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the District and the Company.

The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for any reasonable compensation paid by the Trustee to the Authenticating Agent for its service subject to Section 8.03 and 8.07. The provisions of Sections 2.09, 8.03, 8.04, and 8.05 of this Indenture shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

Section 8.13 Tender Agent. At all times when any Bond is subject to purchase as provided herein, there shall be a Tender Agent (which may be the Trustee) appointed by the District with power to act in the purchase of Bonds or portions thereof and payment of the Purchase Price therefor. Such Tender Agent shall at all times be a commercial bank or trust company having an office or an agent in the State of Texas, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association is hereby appointed Tender Agent with respect to the Bonds.

Any entity into which any Tender Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, consolidation, or conversion to which any Tender Agent shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Tender Agent, shall be the successor of the Tender Agent hereunder, if such successor entity is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any further document on the part of the parties hereto or the Tender Agent or such successor entity.

Any Tender Agent may resign by giving 30 days prior written notice of such resignation to the Trustee, the District, the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any the Remarketing Agent and the Company. The District may terminate the agency of any Tender Agent by giving 30 days prior written notice of such termination to such Tender Agent and the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any, the Remarketing Agent and the Trustee. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Tender Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the District shall promptly appoint a successor Tender Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Trustee, the District and the Bondholders.

No such resignation or removal shall take effect until a successor Tender Agent shall have been appointed and has accepted such appointment. If no successor Tender Agent has accepted appointment within 30 days after the Tender Agent has given notice of its resignation or the District has terminated the agency of the Tender Agent as provided above, the Tender Agent may either petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a temporary successor Tender Agent or itself appoint a temporary successor Tender Agent, provided that in either case any Tender Agent so appointed shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any Tender Agent appointed by the District as provided above.

Each Tender Agent other than the Trustee shall be required to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Tender Agent shall agree with the District, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Tender Agent will:

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the Purchase Price of Bonds in a separate account in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such Bonds until such sums shall be paid to the Holders or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(b) at any time, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Tender Agent;

(c) accept and hold Liquidity Bank Bonds on behalf of the Liquidity Bank prior to delivery of such Liquidity Bank Bonds to the Liquidity Bank and will accept and hold the proceeds of any remarketing of such Liquidity Bank Bonds on behalf of the Liquidity Bank, until delivery of such amounts to the Liquidity Bank, all in accordance with instructions to be provided by the Liquidity Bank;

(d) effect the purchase of the Initial Bonds subject to tender on an Initial Bonds Remarketing Date from and to the extent of proceeds of remarketing or funds advanced under the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement; and

(e) observe and perform the obligations of the Tender Agent hereunder.

The Trustee may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purposes, direct the Tender Agent to pay to the Trustee all money held in trust by such Tender Agent, such money to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such money was held by such Tender Agent, and, upon such payment by the Tender Agent to the Trustee, the Tender Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Subject to the provisions of any agreement between the District and the Tender Agent, the Tender Agent shall be paid reasonable compensation for its services hereunder, but solely from and to the extent of funds advanced by the Company at the request of the District solely for such purposes (and not for payment of debt service) pursuant to the Facilities Lease. The provisions of Sections 2.09, 8.01, 8.03, 8.04, and 8.05 shall be applicable to any Tender Agent.

Section 8.14 Remarketing Agent. Until all Bonds bear interest at the Fixed Rate, there shall be a Remarketing Agent appointed with power to act in the discharge of the duties of the Remarketing Agent hereunder, including the setting of interest rates on the Bonds. Such Remarketing Agent shall at all times be a bank or trust company or a member of the New York Stock Exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, authorized by law to perform all the duties imposed by this Indenture on the Remarketing Agent.

Any corporation into which any Remarketing Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation succeeding to the municipal investment banking business of any Remarketing Agent, shall be the successor of the Remarketing Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the Remarketing Agent or such successor.

Any Remarketing Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days prior written notice of such resignation to the Trustee, the District, the Credit Enhancer, if any, the Liquidity Bank, if any, the Tender Agent and the District. The District may at any time terminate the agency of any Remarketing Agent by giving not less than 30 days prior written notice of such termination to such Remarketing Agent, the Trustee, the Tender Agent, the Credit Enhancer and the Liquidity Bank. Upon the giving of such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Remarketing Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the District shall promptly appoint a successor Remarketing Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the District, Tender Agent, the Credit Enhancer, if any, and the Liquidity Bank, if any.

The District will cause each Remarketing Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Remarketing Agreement in which such Remarketing Agent shall agree with the Trustee and the District, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Remarketing Agent will observe and perform the duties of the Remarketing Agent hereunder. Subject to the provisions of any Remarketing Agreement, the Remarketing Agent shall be paid reasonable compensation for its services hereunder, but solely from and to the extent of funds advanced by the Company at the request of the District for such purpose pursuant to the Facilities Lease.

The provisions of Sections 8.04 and 8.05 of this Indenture shall be applicable to any Remarketing Agent.

Section 8.15 Trustee Liability for Agents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be liable for any failure of the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Tender Agent or the Remarketing Agent to perform in accordance with the Indenture any duty required or authorized herein to be performed by such Person or for any other acts or omissions of such Person.

Page 64

(a) all Bonds theretofore authenticated and delivered have been cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, excluding, however:

(1) Bonds for the payment of which money has theretofore been deposited in trust with the Trustee or a Paying Agent pursuant to Section 4.04;

(2) Bonds alleged to have been destroyed, lost, or stolen which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.06, except for any such Bond which, prior to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, has been presented to the Trustee with a claim of ownership and enforceability by the Holder thereof and where enforceability has not been determined adversely against such Holder by a court of competent jurisdiction;

(3) Bonds, other than those referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2) above, for the payment or redemption of which the District has deposited, or caused to be deposited, with the Trustee at the Maturity thereof in trust for such purpose funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Bonds for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to such Maturity; and

(4) Bonds deemed no longer Outstanding as a result of the deposit or escrow of money or Eligible Securities or both as described in Section 10.02.

(b) the District has paid, or caused to be paid, all other sums payable by the District hereunder; and

(c) there has been delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent herein to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with;

then, this Indenture and the lien, rights, and interests created hereby shall cease, determine, and become null and void (except as to any surviving rights of transfer, exchange, or tender of Bonds herein or therein provided for) and the Trustee and each co-trustee and separate trustee, if any, then acting as such hereunder shall, at the expense of the District (but solely from the Trust Estate), execute and deliver a termination statement and such instruments of satisfaction and discharge as may be necessary (in form and substance satisfactory to the District) and pay, assign, transfer, and deliver to the District or upon District Order all cash, securities, and other property then held by it hereunder as a part of the Trust Estate.

Section 10.02 Payment of Bonds.

(a) All of the Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture if (i) there has been deposited with the Trustee in trust (x) cash or (y) Eligible Securities (or a combination of (x) and (y)), the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on which will, when due, without further investment or reinvestment of either the principal amount thereof or the interest earnings thereon (as established by a report of an independent certified public accountant setting forth the calculations upon which such report is based), provide money in an amount, which, together

Page 65

with any money deposited with or held by the Trustee at the same time and available for such purpose pursuant to this Indenture, will be sufficient to pay when due and payable the principal, premium, if any, and interest due and payable and to become due and payable on and prior to the respective redemption dates or Maturity date of such Bonds, (assuming in the case of Bonds that bear interest at a variable rate, that such Bonds bear interest at a rate equal to the maximum rate of interest which such Bonds may bear from the date of such deposit until the respective redemption or Maturity dates thereof); provided no such redemption or Maturity date shall occur after any Initial Bonds Remarketing Date applicable to such Bonds, (ii) in case any of such Bonds are to be redeemed on any date prior to their Stated Maturity, the District has given to the Trustee irrevocable written instructions instructing the Trustee to effect the redemption of such Bonds, and to give notice of such redemption to Holders prior to said date as provided in this Indenture, (iii) in the event such Bonds are not to be redeemed within the 60 days next succeeding the date of such deposit with the Trustee, the District has given irrevocable written instructions to the Trustee to give notice to the Holders of such Bonds advising that the deposit required by clause (i) of this paragraph above has been made with the Trustee and that the Bonds are deemed to have been paid in accordance with this Article and stating such Maturity or redemption date or dates upon which money is to be available for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest; and (iv) the Trustee shall have received opinions of counsel to the effect that (x) such deposit will not affect the tax exempt status of interest on the Bonds and (y) all conditions precedent to such deposit have been satisfied. The Trustee shall not be required to accept any deposit of Eligible Securities pursuant to clause (y) or (z) during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Any Eligible Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall mature on such dates as shall be required for the aforesaid purpose. Such Eligible Securities shall not contain provisions permitting the redemption thereof at the option of the District.

Subsequent to the making of any deposit provided for in this Section, such Bonds shall continue to enjoy the security and benefits of this Indenture to the extent required to assure the purchase of such Bonds in the manner provided in Article II of this Indenture, the applicable form of Bond and otherwise so as to assure performance by the District in accordance with the terms of such Bonds; and

(b) Any release under this Section shall be without prejudice to the right of the Trustee to be paid reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it under this Indenture and all its reasonable expenses, charges and other disbursements and those of its attorneys, agents and employees, incurred on and about the administration of trusts created by this Indenture and the performance of its powers and duties under this Indenture.

Section 10.03 Application of Trust Money. The Eligible Securities and money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.02 and principal or interest payments on any such Eligible Securities shall be held in trust, shall not be sold or reinvested, and shall be applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Bonds and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money or Eligible Securities were deposited; provided that, upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate (accompanied by the report

Page 66

of an independent certified public accountant setting forth the calculations upon which such Officer’s Certificate is based) establishing that the money and Eligible Securities on deposit following the taking of the proposed action will be sufficient for the purposes described in Section 10.02, any money received from principal or interest payments on Eligible Securities deposited with the Trustee or the proceeds of any sale of such Eligible Securities, if not then needed for such purpose, shall, upon District Order, be reinvested in other Eligible Securities or disposed of as requested by the District. For purposes of any calculation required by this Article, any Eligible Security which is subject to redemption at the option of its issuer, the redemption date for which has not been irrevocably established as of the date of such calculation, shall be assumed to cease to bear interest at the earliest date on which such obligation may be redeemed at the option of the District thereof and the principal of such obligation shall be assumed to be received at its stated maturity.

Section 10.04 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Indenture by Electronic Means shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Indenture. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Indenture by Electronic Means also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Indenture, but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Indenture.

This written Indenture represents the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.

Section 10.05 Final Agreement. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
