secured by this Indenture a single series of Notes to be designated as “LTF Real
Estate VRDN I, LLC Variable Rate Demand Notes, Series 2008” in the original
principal amount of $34,235,000, to be dated as of the Date of Delivery and to
mature fully (subject to prior redemption at the prices and dates and upon the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth) on June 1, 2033.
     Section 2.02. Terms of the Notes.
     (a) The Notes shall be issued as fully registered Notes without coupons in
the Authorized Denominations. The Notes shall be in substantially the form set
forth in Exhibit A hereto.
     (b) The Notes shall bear interest until payment of the principal thereof
and interest thereon shall have been made or provided for in accordance with the
provisions

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

hereof, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise. So long as the Notes
accrue interest at a Weekly Interest Rate, interest shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days for the number of days actually elapsed. Interest
accruing on the Notes at a Fixed Interest Rate shall be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
     (c) Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Registered Owner as of the Record Date for
such payment of interest, and shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Note
is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment
of such defaulted interest, to be fixed by Trustee, notice thereof being given
to the Registered Owners not less than ten days prior to such Special Record
Date.
     (d) Interest shall be paid on each Interest Payment Date in lawful money of
the United States by check mailed to each Registered Owner at the address shown
on the registration books maintained by Note Registrar pursuant to the terms
hereof; provided, however, interest may also be paid by wire transfer to an
address in the continental United States in the case of a Registered Owner of at
least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes upon written request of the
Registered Owner thereof 15 days prior to the applicable Record Date to Note
Registrar in a form satisfactory to Note Registrar.
     (e) The principal of the Notes shall be payable in lawful money of the
United States of America on June 1, 2033 at the designated corporate trust
office of Trustee at 213 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101 or at such other
office as Trustee may designate. Except as provided in Section 2.10 hereof, no
payment of principal shall be made on any Note unless and until such Note is
tendered to Trustee for cancellation, as the case may be.
     (f) The Notes shall be subject to redemption and purchase as provided in
Article IV hereof.
     Section 2.03. Interest on Notes. The Notes shall bear interest for each day
from and including the Date of Delivery until the Fixed Interest Rate Date or
final maturity date, whichever is earlier, at the Weekly Interest Rate, provided
that appropriate adjustments may be made for the initial period following the
Date of Delivery. The Notes shall bear interest from and including the Fixed
Interest Rate Date until the final maturity date of the Notes at the Fixed
Interest Rate.
     (a) Weekly Interest Rate.
     (i) A Weekly Interest Rate shall be determined for each Weekly Rate Period
as described below. For each Weekly Rate Period, the interest rate on the Notes
in the Weekly Mode shall be the current market rate determined by Remarketing
Agent on the immediately preceding Weekly Rate Calculation Date, in accordance
with this Section. On each Weekly Rate Calculation Date, Remarketing Agent shall
determine the Weekly Interest Rate for the next succeeding Weekly Rate Period as
the rate which, if borne by the Notes in the

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Weekly Mode, would, in the judgment of Remarketing Agent, be the lowest interest
rate necessary to enable Remarketing Agent to arrange for the sale of all of the
Outstanding Notes in the Weekly Mode at a price equal to the principal amount
thereof plus accrued interest thereon. Notice of such Weekly Interest Rate shall
be given in writing by Remarketing Agent to Borrower, Trustee and Credit Issuer
by the close of business on the Weekly Rate Calculation Date. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Weekly Interest Rate borne
by the Notes in the Weekly Mode exceed the lesser of 15% per annum or the
maximum rate permitted by law.
     (ii) If for any reason Remarketing Agent does not determine a Weekly
Interest Rate for any Weekly Rate Period as aforesaid, the Weekly Interest Rate
for that Weekly Rate Period shall be equal to the Weekly Interest Rate in effect
for the immediately preceding Weekly Rate Period for the Notes.
     (iii) The determination of the Weekly Interest Rate by Remarketing Agent
pursuant to this Indenture shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower,
Trustee, Remarketing Agent, Credit Issuer and the Registered Owners.
     (b) Fixed Interest Rate.
     (i) A Fixed Interest Rate shall be determined for the Fixed Rate Period as
described below. The Fixed Interest Rate for Notes subject to the Fixed Interest
Rate shall be determined by Remarketing Agent as the lowest rate of interest
that, in the judgment of Remarketing Agent, would be necessary to enable
Remarketing Agent to arrange for the sale of the Notes subject to the Fixed
Interest Rate in a secondary market sale at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued interest, on the first Business Day of the Fixed
Rate Period. Notice of the Fixed Interest Rate shall promptly be given by
telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) by Remarketing Agent to Trustee,
Borrower and Credit Issuer, if any. Determination of the Fixed Interest Rate
pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive and binding upon Trustee, Borrower,
Credit Issuer, if any, Remarketing Agent and the Registered Owners and shall not
exceed the lesser of 15% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law.
     Section 2.04. Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. Borrower, with the prior
written consent of Credit Issuer, unless the Letter of Credit then in effect
shall expire or terminate in accordance with its terms upon any such conversion,
shall have the option to convert the Notes from the Weekly Mode to a Fixed
Interest Rate as herein provided on any Fixed Interest Rate Date Borrower shall
select, provided that each Fixed Interest Rate Date shall be an Interest Payment
Date and that the Notes shall be converted in whole and not in part. Borrower
may exercise its option to direct the conversion of the Notes to a Fixed
Interest Rate only one time. Borrower shall exercise such option by giving
written notice to Trustee, Remarketing Agent and Credit Issuer, stating its
election to convert the Rate Mode of the Notes to the Fixed Interest Rate,
stating the Fixed Interest Rate Date therefor, not less than 60 days prior to
such Fixed Interest Rate Date, or such shorter period of time as may be
consented to by Trustee, Credit Issuer and Remarketing Agent, each such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon receipt

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of such notice by Trustee, Trustee may conclusively assume that Remarketing
Agent and Credit Issuer also received a copy of such notice. Notice of the
exercise of an option to convert shall not be effective unless, within 10 days
of the delivery of such notice, there shall have been delivered to Trustee
(i) written consent of Credit Issuer to such conversion unless the Letter of
Credit expires or terminates in accordance with its terms upon such conversion
and (ii) if the Letter of Credit will expire or terminate in accordance with its
terms on the Fixed Interest Rate Date and if an Alternate Credit Facility or
Alternate Letter of Credit is to be delivered upon the conversion, a commitment
for the delivery of an Alternate Credit Facility or Alternate Letter of Credit
to secure the Notes to be effective on and as of the Fixed Interest Rate Date.
In the case of a conversion in accordance with this Section 2.04, Trustee shall,
at the expense of Borrower, give notice by first-class mail (postage prepaid) to
the Registered Owners not less than 30 days prior to the proposed Fixed Interest
Rate Date stating (i) that the interest rate on such Notes is scheduled to be
converted to a Fixed Interest Rate through the maturity date, (ii) the proposed
Fixed Interest Rate Date, (iii) that Borrower, on or before the tenth day prior
to the proposed Fixed Interest Rate Date, may determine not to convert the
Notes, in which case Trustee shall, at the expense of Borrower, notify the
Registered Owners in writing to such effect, (iv) whether a Letter of Credit
will secure the Notes after the conversion to the Fixed Interest Rate and, in
the event that an Alternate Credit Facility or Alternate Letter of Credit is to
be delivered in connection with the conversion, the name of the provider and its
current ratings by each Rating Agency then rating the Notes and (v) that all
such Outstanding Notes will be subject to a mandatory purchase on the Fixed
Interest Rate Date at a price of par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
and that such mandatory purchase will occur even if any condition to the
conversion is not met or the Notes to be converted are not remarketed in full.
Trustee, Borrower, Credit Issuer and Remarketing Agent shall not be liable to
any Registered Owners for failure to give any notice required above or for
failure of any Registered Owners to receive any such notice. Upon conversion
under this Section, the Notes being converted shall be subject to mandatory
purchase on the Fixed Interest Rate Date. If any condition to which a conversion
is subject is not satisfied in full or any Alternate Credit Facility or
Alternate Letter of Credit required to be delivered in connection with such
conversion is not delivered to Trustee or if the Notes being converted to a
Fixed Interest Rate on such Fixed Interest Rate Date have not been fully
remarketed by Remarketing Agent pursuant to Section 8.09 hereof, all by 2:00
p.m., New York time, on the Fixed Interest Rate Date, then the proposed
conversion shall be deemed to have failed, but the mandatory tender of the Notes
under Section 4.07 hereof still shall occur.
     Section 2.05. Execution of Notes. The Notes shall be executed in the name
and on behalf of Borrower. The Notes shall then be delivered to Note Registrar
for authentication by it. In case any of the officers who shall have signed or
attested any of the Notes shall cease to be such officer or officers of Borrower
before the Notes so signed or attested shall have been authenticated or
delivered by Note Registrar or issued by Borrower, such Notes may nevertheless
be authenticated, delivered and issued and, upon such authentication, delivery
and issue, shall be as binding upon Borrower as though those who signed and
attested the same had continued to be such officers of Borrower, and also any
Notes may be signed and attested on behalf of Borrower by such persons as at the
actual date of execution of such Notes shall be the proper officers of Borrower
although at the nominal date of such Notes any such person shall not have been
such officer of Borrower.

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     Only such of the Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, with the
manual signature of Note Registrar, shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose
or entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, and such certificate of Note
Registrar shall be conclusive evidence that the Notes so authenticated have been
duly executed, authenticated and delivered hereunder and are entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.
     Section 2.06. Transfer of Notes.
     (a) Any Note may, in accordance with its terms, and subject to the transfer
restrictions set forth in subsection (b) of this Section, be transferred, upon
the books required to be kept pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.08 hereof,
by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly
authorized attorney, upon surrender of such registered Note for cancellation,
accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of transfer, duly executed in a
form approved by Note Registrar. Transfer of a Note shall not be permitted by
Note Registrar: (a) if Note Registrar has received notice from the Registered
Owner of such Note that such Note will be delivered to Tender Agent for purchase
on or before the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, (b) if Note Registrar
receives such written instrument of transfer after the Record Date prior to the
next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (c) the provisions of subsection (b) of
this Section have not been satisfied.
     Whenever any Note or Notes shall be surrendered for transfer, Borrower
shall execute and Note Registrar shall authenticate and deliver a new Note or
Notes for a like aggregate principal amount in an Authorized Denomination. Note
Registrar shall require the Registered Owner requesting such transfer to pay any
tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such
transfer, and may in addition require the payment of a reasonable sum to cover
expenses incurred by Borrower and Note Registrar in connection with such
transfer.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Fixed Interest Rate Date, no
Notes held by or for the account of Borrower shall be transferred upon the books
required to be kept pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof.
     (b) Every Note that bears or is required under this subsection to bear the
legend set forth in Exhibit A — Form of Note (the “Restricted Securities”) shall
be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this subsection
(including those set forth in the legend set forth in Exhibit A — Form of Note
(the “Transfer Restriction Legend”)) unless such restrictions on transfer shall
be waived by written consent of Borrower, and the holder of each such Restricted
Security, by such Noteholder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all
such restrictions on transfer. As used in this subsection, the term “transfer”
encompasses any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of
any Restricted Security.
     Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof
under paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (or any successor provision) (the “Securities Act”), any certificate
evidencing such Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or
substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

substantially the form of the Transfer Restriction Legend and the holder of such
Restricted Security will deliver to such Person to whom such Note is transferred
a notice substantially to the effect of the Transfer Restriction Legend, unless
such Note has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been
declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective
at the time of such transfer), or unless otherwise agreed by Borrower in
writing, with written notice thereof to Trustee.
     No Person may transfer or exchange a Restricted Security or a beneficial
interest in a Restricted Security (including, without limitation, the removal of
the Transfer Restriction Legend thereon) unless such transfer or exchange is
made (i) to Borrower or any subsidiary thereof, (ii) pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, (iii) to a qualified
institutional buyer in compliance with the applicable requirements of Rule 144A
or (iv) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under
the Securities Act, if available, or another exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and, in the case of clauses (i), (iii) and
(iv), if requested by the Note Registrar (or Borrower in the case of a transfer
or exchange pursuant to clause (iv) above), certificates or an opinion of
counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Note Registrar (and Borrower in the
case of a transfer or exchange pursuant to clause (iv) above) stating that
(A) such transfer or exchange is in compliance with the Securities Act and
applicable state securities law and (B) if such transferee or exchangee seeks
the removal of the Transfer Restriction Legend, the restrictions on transfer
contained herein and in the Transfer Restriction Legend are no longer required
in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state
securities law. Upon satisfaction of the requirements of this subsection with
respect to the removal of the Transfer Restriction Legend, as appropriate, such
Restricted Security or such beneficial interest in such Restricted Security
shall be exchanged for an unrestricted Note or such beneficial interest in an
unrestricted Note.
     Any Note may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such
legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Indenture as may be required by Trustee, DTC or by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. in order for the Notes to be tradeable on The Portal
Market or as may be required for the Notes to be tradeable on any other market
developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or required to comply
with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and
regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which
the Notes may be listed or traded or to conform with any usage with respect
thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any
particular Notes are subject.
     Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire
as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture
or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note
other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or
evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly
required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. Trustee
shall have no

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

responsibility for the actions or omissions of any securities depositary, or for
the accuracy of the books or records of any securities depositary.
     Section 2.07. Exchange of Notes. Notes may be exchanged at the designated
corporate trust office of Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes
of other Authorized Denominations. Note Registrar shall require the Registered
Owner requesting such exchange to deliver such Notes to be exchanged and to pay
any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such
exchange, and may in addition require the payment of a reasonable sum to cover
expenses incurred by Borrower or Note Registrar in connection with such
exchange. Thereupon, the Notes delivered to Note Registrar for exchange shall be
cancelled by Note Registrar.
     Section 2.08. Note Registrar. Trustee is hereby designated and appointed as
Note Registrar (the “Note Registrar”). Note Registrar will keep or cause to be
kept at its designated corporate trust office, or at such other office as Note
Registrar may designate, sufficient books for the registration and transfer of
the Notes, which shall at all times be open to inspection during regular
business hours by Borrower; and, upon presentation for such purpose, Note
Registrar shall, under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register
or transfer or cause to be registered or transferred, on such books, Notes as
hereinbefore provided.
     Section 2.09. Temporary Notes. The Notes may be issued in temporary form
exchangeable for definitive Notes when ready for delivery. Any temporary Note
may be printed, lithographed or typewritten, shall be in an Authorized
Denomination, shall be in fully registered form without coupons and may contain
such reference to any of the provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate
and in a form acceptable to Paying Agent. Every temporary Note shall be executed
by Borrower and be authenticated by Note Registrar upon the same conditions and
in substantially the same manner as the definitive Notes. If Borrower issues
temporary Notes it will execute and deliver definitive Notes as promptly
thereafter as practicable, and thereupon the temporary Notes may be surrendered,
for cancellation, in exchange therefor at the designated corporate trust office
of Note Registrar and Note Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Notes
in Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes
authenticated and delivered hereunder.
     Section 2.10. Notes Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen. If any Note shall
become mutilated, Borrower, at the expense of the Registered Owner of said Note,
shall execute, and Note Registrar shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a
new Note of like tenor in exchange and substitution for the Note so mutilated,
but only upon surrender to Note Registrar of the Note so mutilated. Every
mutilated Note so surrendered to Note Registrar shall be cancelled by it and
delivered to, or upon the order of, Borrower. If any Note shall be lost,
destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be
submitted to Note Registrar and, if such evidence be satisfactory to it and
indemnity satisfactory to Note Registrar and Borrower shall be given, Borrower,
at the expense of the Registered Owner, shall execute, and Note Registrar shall
thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Note of like tenor in lieu of and in
substitution for the Note so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such Note
shall have matured or shall be about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute
Note, Borrower may pay the same without surrender thereof upon such maturity
date). Note Registrar may require payment by the Registered Owner

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing each new Note issued under
this Section and the expenses which may be incurred by Borrower and Note
Registrar in the premises. Any Note issued under the provisions of this Section
in lieu of any Note alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation on the part of Borrower whether or
not the Note so alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen be at any time
enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
with all other Notes secured by this Indenture.
     Section 2.11. Absolute and Unconditional Obligations. The obligations of
Borrower to make the Note Payments and other payments required by the terms
hereof and to provide or cause to be provided the Letter of Credit pursuant to
the terms hereof, and to perform and observe the other agreements on its part
contained herein, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any
defense or any rights of set-off, recoupment or counterclaim it might otherwise
have, and during the term of this Indenture, Borrower shall pay absolutely all
payments to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, the obligation to provide or
cause to be provided the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof, and all
other payments required hereunder, free of any deductions and without abatement,
diminution or set-off. Until such time as the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Notes shall have been fully paid, or provision for the payment
thereof shall have been made as required by this Indenture, Borrower (a) will
not suspend or discontinue any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant
to this Indenture, including (without limitation) the payments provided for in
Section 5.02 hereof and the obligation to provide or cause to be provided the
Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof; (b) will perform and observe
all of its other covenants contained in this Agreement; and (c) except as
provided in Article IV hereof, will not terminate this Indenture for any cause,
including (without limitation) commercial frustration of purpose, any change in
the tax or other laws of the United States of America or of the State, or any
political subdivision of either of these, or any failure of Trustee to perform
and observe any covenant, whether express or implied, or any duty, liability or
obligation arising out of or connected with this Indenture.
     Section 2.12. Book-Entry Only System.
     (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this
Section, the Notes initially authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC or such other nominee as
DTC shall request. Payments of interest on, principal of and any premium on the
Notes shall be made to the account of Cede & Co. on each Note Payment Date at
the address indicated for Cede & Co. in the registration books maintained by
Note Registrar by transfer of immediately available funds. DTC has represented
to Borrower that it will maintain a book-entry system in recording ownership
interests of its participants (the “Direct Participants”) and the ownership
interests of a purchaser of a beneficial interest in the Notes (a “Beneficial
Owner”) will be recorded through book entries on the records of the Direct
Participants.
     (b) The Notes shall be initially issued in the form of a separate single
authenticated fully registered Note in the amount of $34,235,000. With respect
to Notes so registered in the name of Cede & Co., Borrower, Trustee and Tender
Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Direct Participant or to
any Beneficial Owner of such Notes. Without limiting the immediately preceding
sentence, Borrower, Trustee and

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Tender Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the
accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any Direct Participant with
respect to any beneficial ownership interest in the Notes, (ii) the delivery to
any Direct Participant, Beneficial Owner or other person, other than DTC, of any
notice with respect to the Notes, including any notice of redemption, (iii) the
payment to any Direct Participant, Beneficial Owner or other person, other than
DTC, of any amount with respect to the principal or redemption price of, or
interest on, the Notes or (iv) any consent given or other action taken by DTC as
Registered Owner of the Notes. Borrower, Trustee and Tender Agent may treat DTC
as, and deem DTC to be, the absolute Registered Owner of each Note for all
purposes whatsoever including (but not limited to) (A) payment of the principal
or redemption price of, and interest on, each such Note, (B) giving notices of
conversion or redemption and other matters with respect to such Notes and
(C) registering transfers with respect to such Notes. Trustee shall pay the
principal or redemption price of, and interest on, all Notes only to or upon the
order of DTC, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully
satisfy and discharge Borrower’s obligations with respect to such principal or
redemption price, and interest, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No
person other than DTC shall receive a Note evidencing the obligation of Borrower
to make payments of principal or redemption price of, and interest on, the Notes
pursuant to this Indenture. Upon delivery by DTC to Trustee of written notice to
the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of
Cede & Co., and subject to the transfer provisions hereof, the word “Cede & Co.”
in this Indenture shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
     (c) (i) DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with
respect to the Notes at any time by giving reasonable written notice to
Borrower, Trustee and Tender Agent and discharging its responsibilities with
respect thereto under applicable law.
     (ii) Borrower, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other
person, may terminate, upon provision of notice to Trustee and Tender Agent, the
services of DTC with respect to the Notes if Borrower determines that the
continuation of the system of book-entry only transfers through DTC (or a
successor securities depository) is not in the best interests of the Beneficial
Owners of the Notes or is burdensome to Borrower, and shall terminate the
services of DTC with respect to the Notes upon receipt by Borrower, Trustee and
Tender Agent of written notice from DTC to the effect that DTC has received
written notice from Direct Participants having interests, as shown in the
records of DTC, in an aggregate principal amount of not less than fifty percent
(50%) of the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes to the
effect, that: (A) DTC is unable to discharge its responsibilities with respect
to such Notes, or (B) a continuation of the requirement that all of the
Outstanding Notes be registered in the registration books kept by Trustee in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, is not in the best interest of the
Beneficial Owners of such Notes.
     (d) Upon the termination of the services of DTC with respect to the Notes
pursuant to subsection (c)(ii)(B) hereof, or upon the discontinuance or
termination of the

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

services of DTC with respect to the Notes pursuant to subsection (c)(i) or
subsection (c)(ii)(A) hereof after which no substitute securities depository
willing to undertake the functions of DTC hereunder can be found or which, in
the opinion of Borrower, is willing and able to undertake such functions upon
reasonable and customary terms, the Notes shall no longer be restricted to being
registered in the registration books kept by Note Registrar in the name of
Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC. In such event, Borrower shall issue and Trustee
shall transfer and exchange Note certificates as requested by DTC or Direct
Participants of like principal amount, series and maturity, in Authorized
Denominations to the identifiable Beneficial Owners in replacement of such
Beneficial Owners’ beneficial interests in the Notes.
     (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary,
so long as any Note is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC,
all payments with respect to the principal or redemption price of, and interest
on, such Note and all notices with respect to such Note shall be made and given,
respectively, to DTC.
     (f) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to
Registered Owners pursuant to this Indenture by Borrower, Tender Agent or
Trustee with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by Registered
Owners, Borrower, Tender Agent or Trustee, as the case may be, shall establish a
record date for such consent or other action and give DTC notice of such record
date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent
possible.
     (g) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Borrower and
Trustee may agree to allow DTC, or its nominee, Cede & Co., to make a notation
on any Note redeemed in part to reflect, for informational purposes only, the
principal amount and date of any such redemption.
     (h) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, so long as the
Notes are subject to a system of book-entry only transfers pursuant to this
Section, any requirement for the delivery of Notes to Tender Agent in connection
with a mandatory tender pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof shall be deemed
satisfied upon the transfer, on the registration books of DTC, of the beneficial
ownership interests in such Notes tendered for purchase to the account of Tender
Agent, or a Direct Participant acting on behalf of Tender Agent.
     Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. Borrower in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, Trustee shall use “CUSIP”
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Registered Owners; provided
that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in
any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not
be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. Borrower will promptly
notify Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

ARTICLE III
ISSUANCE OF NOTES; APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
     Section 3.01. Issuance of the Notes. Upon satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3.01 of the Reimbursement Agreement as evidenced
by the issuance of the Letter of Credit, Borrower shall execute and issue the
Notes and Note Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Notes in the aggregate
principal amount set forth in Section 2.01 hereof. The proceeds received from
the sale of the Notes in the amount of $34,072,383.75 (which represents the
principal amount of the Notes, $34,235,000, less underwriter’s discount of
$162,616.25) shall be deposited in trust with Trustee, who shall deposit said
proceeds in the Note Fund.
     Section 3.02. Establishment and Application of Note Fund.
     (a) Trustee shall establish, maintain and hold in trust a separate fund
designated as the “Note Fund.” The moneys in the Note Fund shall be used and
withdrawn as provided herein.
     (b) Before any payment from the Note Fund shall be made, Borrower shall
file or cause to be filed with Trustee a Payment Request Form, executed by
Borrower and Credit Issuer, fully completed and with all supporting documents
described therein attached thereto; provided, however, moneys in the Note Fund
shall not be disbursed unless and until Borrower satisfies the requirements set
forth in Section 3.01 of the Reimbursement Agreement. Upon receipt of a Payment
Request Form (which may be sent by facsimile transmission) executed on behalf of
Credit Issuer and an Authorized Representative of Borrower, Trustee shall
disburse proceeds from the Note Fund in such amounts and to such parties as
directed therein. Upon receipt of a written request from Credit Issuer (which
may be sent by facsimile transmission), Trustee shall disburse proceeds from the
Note Fund in order to reimburse Credit Issuer for any real estate-related costs
such as costs for the appraisal, environmental audit and engineer’s inspections.
     (c) Upon (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default or notice from Credit
Issuer that an Event of Default has occurred, or (ii) any such time that there
are no longer any Outstanding Notes, Trustee, at the direction of Credit Issuer,
shall transfer any remaining balance in the Note Fund, to a separate account
within the Redemption Account, which Trustee shall establish and hold in trust,
and which shall be entitled the “Surplus Account.” The moneys in the Surplus
Account shall be used and applied first to reimburse Credit Issuer for any draws
theretofore made by Trustee under the Letter of Credit but not yet reimbursed
(including, without limitation, any draws relating to the purchase of any
Borrower Notes), and then to pay principal only in connection with the call and
redemption of Notes to the maximum degree permissible in accordance with
Section 4.01 hereof, and at the earliest possible dates at which Notes can be
redeemed without payment of premium pursuant to this Indenture.

ARTICLE IV
REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE OF NOTES
     Section 4.01. Terms of Redemption. The Notes are subject to redemption by
Borrower if and to the extent Borrower is entitled to make and makes, or is
required to make, a payment or prepayment pursuant to this Indenture. All such
prepayments by Borrower shall be deposited in the Redemption Account. Borrower
shall not call the Notes for optional redemption, and Trustee shall not give
notice of any such optional redemption, unless Borrower has made or caused to be
made all Note Payments due hereunder and any required principal payments
required under the Reimbursement Agreement.
     The Notes shall be subject to redemption by Borrower upon the following
terms in increments of $5,000, provided that in the event of redemption of less
than all of the Notes, the amount which remains Outstanding shall be in
Authorized Denominations:
     (a) Sinking Fund Redemption. The Notes are not subject to mandatory sinking
fund redemption.
     (b) Optional Redemption During Weekly Mode. While the Notes are in the
Weekly Mode, the Notes are subject to optional redemption, in whole on any
Business Day or in part on any Interest Payment Date, at the option of Borrower,
with the written approval of Credit Issuer, at a redemption price of 100% of the
outstanding principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus interest accrued
thereon to the redemption date. Borrower shall be deemed to have exercised such
option and Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have given such consent in
connection with any redemptions scheduled pursuant to the Reimbursement
Agreement, and such exercise and consent shall remain in effect unless and until
Trustee receives contrary written notification from Credit Issuer.
     (c) No Optional Redemption After the Fixed Interest Rate Date. After the
Fixed Interest Rate Date, the Notes are not subject to redemption at the option
of Borrower.
     (d) Mandatory Redemption upon Expiration of Letter of Credit. The Notes
shall be redeemed in whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
outstanding principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued thereon to the
redemption date, on a redemption date not less than 15 days preceding the
Expiration Date of the Letter of Credit if no Alternate Credit Facility or
Alternate Letter of Credit has been delivered to Trustee in accordance with
Section 5.04 or 5.07 hereof.
     (e) Mandatory Redemption upon Occurrence of Extraordinary Events. To the
extent of a prepayment by Borrower as a result of the damage, destruction or
condemnation of the Property and as provided in the Reimbursement Agreement, the
Notes are subject to redemption, in whole on any Business Day or in part on the
first Business Day of each calendar month, upon the written direction of
Borrower and with the written approval of Credit Issuer, after payment of any
amounts owed to Credit Issuer pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, prior to
their stated maturity, on any date, at

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of such
Notes that are redeemed, plus interest accrued thereon to the redemption date.
     (f) Mandatory Redemption for Reimbursement Agreement Default. The Notes
shall be redeemed in whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
outstanding principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued thereon to the
redemption date, within five calendar days (and before the following Saturday if
the fifth calendar day is a Saturday) from the date Trustee receives written
notice from Credit Issuer that an event of default has occurred under the
Reimbursement Agreement and directing Trustee to redeem the Notes.
     (g) Mandatory Redemption from Surplus Account. The Notes are subject to
redemption in part on any Interest Payment Date at a redemption price equal to
100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the
redemption date, on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to the extent of
amounts are deposited in the Surplus Account and directed to be used to redeem
Notes as provided in Section 3.02(c) hereof.
     Section 4.02. Selection of Notes for Redemption. Whenever provision is made
in this Indenture for the redemption of less than all of the Notes, Trustee
shall select the Notes to be redeemed from all Notes or such given portion
thereof not previously called for redemption by lot in any manner which Trustee
in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate and fair, to be credited against
the principal of the Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that in connection
with an optional redemption of the Notes, redemption proceeds shall first be
used to reimburse Credit Issuer for any draw on the Letter of Credit; provided,
further that Borrower Notes shall be the first Notes selected for redemption and
the redemption price for such Borrower Notes shall be paid to Credit Issuer; and
provided, finally, that the Notes Outstanding after giving effect to any
redemption shall be in Authorized Denominations. Upon selection of Notes for
redemption on or prior to the Fixed Interest Rate Date, Trustee will promptly
notify Tender Agent of the Notes selected for redemption.
     Section 4.03. Notice of Redemption.
     (a) Trustee shall mail notice of redemption (i) prior to the Fixed Interest
Rate Date, not less than 15 days before such redemption date (except in the case
of redemptions pursuant to Section 4.01(f) hereof, in which case notice shall be
given as soon as practicable), and (ii) after the Fixed Interest Rate Date, not
less than 30 days before such redemption date (except in the case of redemptions
pursuant to Section 4.01(f) hereof, in which case notice shall be given as soon
as practicable) to the respective Registered Owners of any Notes designated for
redemption at their addresses on the registration books maintained by Note
Registrar. Each notice of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed
(including CUSIP numbers), state the redemption date, the place or places of
redemption, if less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the distinctive
numbers of the Notes to be redeemed, and in the case of Notes to be redeemed in

due and payable on each of said Notes the principal thereof or of said specified
portion of the principal thereof in the

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

case of a Note to be redeemed in part only, and that from and after such
redemption date interest thereon shall cease to accrue, and shall require that
such Notes be then surrendered.
     (b) Notice of redemption of Notes shall be given by Trustee, at the expense
of Borrower, for and on behalf of Borrower.
     (c) In the case of redemption pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof in connection
with refunding obligations to be issued for such purpose, notice of such
redemption may be cancelled if such refunding obligations are not issued on or
prior to the date fixed for such redemption.
     (d) Receipt of such notice shall not be a condition precedent to such
redemption and failure so to mail any such notice to a Registered Owner shall
not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Notes of any
Registered Owner.
     (e) Trustee shall, at the same time the notice in subsection (a) above is
mailed, also send a copy of the notice by certified mail or by overnight
delivery to Tender Agent, Remarketing Agent, DTC and any Information Service.
Failure to provide notice to Tender Agent, Remarketing Agent, a Securities
Depository or to an Information Service shall not affect the validity of
proceedings for the redemption of Notes.
     Section 4.04. Partial Redemption of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note
redeemed in part only, Borrower shall execute and Note Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver to the Registered Owner thereof, at the expense of
Borrower, a new Note or Notes of Authorized Denominations equal in aggregate
principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.
     Section 4.05. Effect of Redemption.
     (a) In the case of a prepayment in full of the Notes by Borrower pursuant
to Section 4.01 hereof, the amount to be paid by Borrower shall be a sum
sufficient, together with other funds deposited with Trustee and available for
such purpose, to pay (a) the redemption price specified in this Indenture for
all Outstanding Notes, plus all interest accrued and to accrue to the redemption
date, (b) all reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of Trustee, Credit
Issuer and any Paying Agent allowable pursuant to this Indenture or the
Reimbursement Agreement accrued and to accrue through final payment of the Notes
and (c) all other liabilities of Borrower accrued and to accrue under this
Indenture. In the case of partial prepayment of the Notes by Borrower pursuant
to Section 4.01 hereof, the amount to be paid by Borrower shall be a sum
sufficient, together with other funds deposited with Trustee and available for
such purpose, to pay the redemption price specified in this Indenture, for the
Notes that are to be redeemed, plus all interest accrued and to accrue to the
redemption date, and to pay expenses of redemption of such Notes.
     (b) Only Available Moneys can be used for the redemption of the Notes.
Borrower shall cause Available Moneys for payment of the redemption price of the
Notes, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and other
amounts

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

payable hereunder, to be delivered to Trustee. Provided that Trustee has
received such Available Moneys, the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for
redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date designated in the
notice of redemption, interest on the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for
redemption shall cease to accrue, said Notes (or portions thereof) shall cease
to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the
Registered Owners of said Notes shall have no rights in respect thereof except
to receive payment of said principal, premium, if any, and interest accrued to
the date fixed for redemption.
     Subject to Section 4.04 hereof, all Notes redeemed pursuant to the
provisions of this Article shall be cancelled upon surrender thereof by Trustee
and delivered to or upon the order of Borrower.
     Section 4.06. Purchase of Notes by Tender Agent. Prior to the Fixed
Interest Rate Date, the Notes may be delivered by the Registered Owners thereof
to Tender Agent at its designated corporate trust office, or such other place as
Tender Agent may designate in writing to Registered Owners, Trustee, Credit
Issuer, Borrower and Remarketing Agent. Any Note so delivered shall be purchased
by Tender Agent on demand of the Registered Owner thereof on the close of any
Business Day at a purchase price equal to the principal amount thereof plus
accrued interest to but not including the date of purchase (unless such date is
an Interest Payment Date, in which case the purchase price will be the principal
amount of such Note); provided that Tender Agent will be under no obligation to
use its own funds to purchase such Notes and provided further that sufficient
funds in the Purchase Fund are immediately available for purchase of the Notes
and upon delivery to Tender Agent of an irrevocable written notice by 3:00 p.m.,
New York time, (if not received by 3:00 p.m., New York time, on a Business Day
it shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day), which states
(i) the name and address of the Registered Owner, (ii) the number or numbers of
the Note or Notes to be purchased, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the
Note or Notes to be purchased, and (iv) the date on which the Note is or Notes
are to be purchased, which date shall be a Business Day not prior to the seventh
calendar day next succeeding the date of delivery of such written notice and
delivery to Tender Agent at or prior to 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the
Purchase Date specified in the aforesaid notice, of the Note or Notes to be
tendered; provided, however, that any Note for which a notice of the exercise of
the purchase option has been given as provided in this subsection and which is
not so delivered shall be deemed delivered on the date of purchase and shall be
purchased in accordance with this Indenture.
     All Notes, or portions thereof, purchased pursuant to this Section shall be
purchased in an amount equal to an Authorized Denomination. Trustee shall upon
request of Tender Agent calculate the purchase price of any Notes purchased
pursuant to this Section and shall notify Tender Agent of such amount prior to
the Purchase Date.
     Section 4.07. Mandatory Tender of Notes. On each Mandatory Tender Date, the
Notes shall be subject to mandatory tender for purchase on such Mandatory Tender
Date at a purchase price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
interest, if any. The Registered Owners of all of the Outstanding Notes shall be
required to tender their Notes for purchase by Tender Agent on the Mandatory
Tender Date. All Notes which on the Mandatory Tender Date have not been tendered
for purchase (the “Non-Tendered Notes”) shall be deemed

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

purchased by Tender Agent on the Mandatory Tender Date at a price of the
principal amount thereof plus unpaid interest accrued, if any, to such date.
Replacement Notes for the Non-Tendered Notes may be remarketed and delivered to
new Registered Owners as instructed by Borrower or Remarketing Agent. Tender
Agent shall hold in trust for the Registered Owners of the Non-Tendered Notes
the purchase price thereof, and after the Mandatory Tender Date such Registered
Owners will no longer be entitled to any of the benefits of this Indenture
except for the payment of such purchase price.

REVENUES; FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS;
PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
     Section 5.01. Pledge and Assignment; Revenue Fund.
     (a) Subject only to the provisions of this Indenture permitting the
application thereof for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth
herein, all amounts (including proceeds of the sale of Notes) held in any fund
or account established pursuant to this Indenture (the “Account Funds”), except
to the extent provided in Sections 5.05, 7.03, 8.06 and 8.10(a) hereof) are
hereby pledged by Borrower to secure the payment of the principal and purchase
price of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms and the
provisions of this Indenture and thereafter, on a basis subordinate thereto, to
secure Borrower’s obligations to Credit Issuer under the Reimbursement
Agreement. Said pledge shall constitute a lien on and security interest in such
assets and shall attach, be perfected and be valid and binding from and after
delivery by Trustee of the Notes without any physical delivery thereof or
further act.
     (b) Trustee agrees that, so long as Trustee holds any Account Funds,
Trustee shall hold the same as the collateral agent and bailee of Credit Issuer
(but only to the extent of amounts paid by Credit Issuer under the Letter of
Credit for which Credit Issuer has not received reimbursement from Borrower) for
purposes of perfecting the lien and security interest of Credit Issuer therein.
Upon receipt of written notice from Credit Issuer that Borrower has failed to
reimburse Credit Issuer for a draw under the Letter of Credit as required by the
Reimbursement Agreement, Trustee shall either cause all accounts and investments
(but only to the extent of amounts paid by Credit Issuer under the Letter of
Credit for which Credit Issuer has not received reimbursement from Borrower)
which are the subject of the preceding sentence to be titled in such a manner to
reflect that Credit Issuer has an interest therein as described in the preceding
sentence or ensure that each Person with whom Trustee places or through whom
Trustee invests any moneys which are the subject of the preceding sentence is
advised of Credit Issuer’s interest therein as described in the preceding
sentence and instructed to mark its records to reflect such interest. Trustee
shall not pledge, hypothecate, transfer or release all or any portion of the
Account Funds to any persons (including, without limitation, Borrower) other
than Registered Owners of the Notes in payment thereof or in any manner not in
accordance with this Indenture or the Reimbursement Agreement without the
written consent of Credit Issuer, except as otherwise required by a court of
law.

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     (c) All Note Payments shall be promptly deposited by Trustee upon receipt
thereof in a special fund designated as the “Revenue Fund” which Trustee shall
establish, maintain and hold in trust; except as otherwise provided in
Section 5.02 hereof, all moneys received by Trustee and required to be deposited
in the Note Fund shall be promptly deposited in the Note Fund and all moneys
received by Trustee and required to be deposited in the Redemption Account shall
be promptly deposited in the Redemption Account, which Trustee shall establish,
maintain and hold in trust. All Note Payments and other amounts deposited with
Trustee shall be held, disbursed, allocated and applied by Trustee only as
provided in this Indenture. All moneys held by Tender Agent for the payment of
the principal or purchase price of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes,
shall be held by Tender Agent in trust for the payment of such Notes.
     Section 5.02. Note Payments and Allocation.
     (a) On or before each Note Payment Date, until the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Notes shall have been fully paid or provision for
such payment shall have been made as provided in this Indenture, Borrower
covenants and agrees to pay to Trustee as a Note Payment, a sum equal to the
amount payable on such Note Payment Date as principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on the Notes as provided in this Indenture. The Note Payments made
pursuant to this subsection shall at all times be sufficient to pay the total
amount of interest and principal (whether at maturity or upon redemption or
acceleration) and premium, if any, becoming due and payable on the Notes on each
Note Payment Date, provided that any amount held by Trustee in the Revenue Fund
on the due date for a Note Payment pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence shall be credited against the Note Payment due on such date to the
extent available for such purpose under the terms of this Indenture; and
provided further that, subject to the provisions of this subsection, if at any
time the amounts held by Trustee in the Revenue Fund are sufficient to pay all
of the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes as such
payments become due, Borrower shall be relieved of any obligation to make any
further Note Payments under the provisions of this subsection. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if on any date the amount held by Trustee in the Revenue Fund is
insufficient to make any required payments of principal of (whether at maturity
or upon redemption or acceleration) and interest and premium, if any, on the
Notes as such payments become due, Borrower, immediately upon receipt of notice
of such deficiency from Trustee, shall forthwith pay such deficiency as a Note
Payment hereunder.
     (b) To the extent Trustee has on deposit a Note Payment from Borrower
pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section after any payment obligation
hereunder has been satisfied by a draw under the Letter of Credit, Trustee shall
promptly use such Note Payment to reimburse Credit Issuer for such drawing or,
if Credit Issuer has been reimbursed directly by Borrower, such funds shall be
returned to Borrower. Upon Trustee’s receipt of written notice from Credit
Issuer that Borrower will begin to make payments directly to Credit Issuer
pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement sufficient to reimburse Credit Issuer
for draws on the Letter of Credit, Borrower shall no longer be required to make
such portion of Note Payments directly to Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof.

26

     (c) Note Payments received by Trustee from Borrower shall be deposited by
Trustee into the following respective accounts (each of which Trustee shall
establish and maintain within the Revenue Fund), in the following amounts, in
the following order of priority, and the requirements of each such account
(including the making up of any deficiencies in any such account resulting from
lack of funds sufficient to make any earlier required deposit) at the time of
deposit shall be satisfied before any transfer is made to any account subsequent
in priority, and provided, that no moneys representing drawings under the Letter
of Credit shall be transferred into the Interest Account, the Principal Account
or the Redemption Account of the Revenue Fund:
     FIRST, to the Interest Account, the amount paid by Borrower and designated
as or attributable to interest on the Notes in the most recent Note Payment, so
that the aggregate of such amounts will, on the next Interest Payment Date,
equal the amount of interest due on the Notes on such Interest Payment Date.
     SECOND, to the Principal Account, the amount paid by Borrower and
designated as or attributable to principal of the Notes in the most recent Note
Payment, so that the aggregate of such amounts will, on the next succeeding
principal payment date, equal the amount of principal due (whether at maturity
or by acceleration) on such principal payment date.
     THIRD, to the Redemption Account, the aggregate amount of principal and
premium, if any, next coming due by redemption permitted (as directed in writing
by Borrower or as provided in the last sentence of Section 4.01(b)) or required
under Article IV hereof, or any portion thereof paid by Borrower.
     Section 5.03. Priority of Moneys in Revenue Fund; Letter of Credit Account.
     (a) Funds for the payment of the principal or redemption price of and
interest on the Notes shall be derived from the following sources in the order
of priority indicated below; provided, however, that except as otherwise
specifically provided herein amounts in the respective accounts within the
Revenue Fund shall be used to pay the principal or redemption price of and
interest on the Notes held by Registered Owners other than Borrower prior to the
payment of the principal and interest on the Notes held by Borrower; and
provided, further, that if principal or redemption price (or any portion
thereof) of and interest on the Notes is paid with moneys described in
subparagraph (i) of this Section 5.03(a), any other moneys on deposit in the
respective accounts in the Revenue Fund shall be applied to immediately
reimburse Credit Issuer by wire transfer in the amount of any such drawings:
     (i) moneys paid into the Letter of Credit Account of the Revenue Fund
representing the proceeds of drawings by Trustee under the Letter of Credit;
     (ii) moneys paid into the Interest Account, if any, representing accrued
interest received at the initial sale of the Notes and proceeds from the
investment thereof which shall be applied to the payment of interest on the
Notes;

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     (iii) moneys paid into the Revenue Fund pursuant to Section 10.01(b) hereof
and proceeds from the investment thereof, which constitute Available Moneys;
     (iv) moneys deposited into the Redemption Account pursuant to
Section 3.02(c) hereof and proceeds from the investment thereof;
     (v) any other moneys (not derived from drawings under the Letter of Credit)
paid into the Revenue Fund and proceeds from the investment thereof, which
constitute Available Moneys; and
     (vi) any other moneys paid into the Revenue Fund and proceeds from the
investment thereof, which are not Available Moneys.
     (b) Trustee shall create within the Revenue Fund a separate account called
the “Letter of Credit Account,” which account shall be an Eligible Account, and
all moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit shall be deposited and disbursed
either in the Letter of Credit Account or the Liquidity Account established
pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof. None of Borrower, any Related Party or Trustee
shall have any legal, equitable or beneficial right, title or interest in the
Letter of Credit Account or the Liquidity Account. The Letter of Credit Account
and the Liquidity Account shall be established and maintained by Trustee and
Tender Agent, respectively, and held in trust apart from all other moneys and
securities held under this Indenture or otherwise, and over which Trustee and
Tender Agent, respectively, shall have the exclusive and sole right of
withdrawal for the exclusive benefit of the Registered Owners of the Notes with
respect to which each drawing is made.
     (c) Trustee shall draw moneys under the Letter of Credit in accordance with
the terms thereof in amounts necessary to make full and timely payments of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, other than Notes owned
by or for the account of Borrower (including Borrower Notes), which amounts on
such Notes owned by or for the account of Borrower shall not be paid from moneys
drawn under the Letter of Credit but shall be deemed to be paid by Borrower,
when due, whether at maturity, redemption (including optional redemptions
scheduled pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement), acceleration, an Interest
Payment Date or otherwise. In addition, Trustee shall draw moneys under the
Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms thereof to the extent necessary to
make full and timely payments required to be made pursuant to, and in accordance
with, Article VIII hereof to pay the purchase price of Borrower Notes. Trustee
shall notify Borrower of any proposed drawing on the Letter of Credit (other
than with respect to scheduled payments of principal and interest) as and when
it notifies Credit Issuer.
     (d) If on the Fixed Interest Rate Date there shall have been delivered to
Trustee an Alternate Credit Facility or if at any time there shall have been
delivered to Trustee an Alternate Letter of Credit, then Trustee shall accept
such Alternate Credit Facility or Alternate Letter of Credit, as applicable, and
promptly surrender the previously held Letter of Credit to the issuing bank for
cancellation, and shall promptly

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

take all actions requested by the issuing bank to convey to such bank or
otherwise relinquish all of its right, title and interest in any security held
jointly by the issuing bank and Trustee. If at any time there shall cease to be
any Notes Outstanding hereunder, Trustee shall promptly surrender the Letter of
Credit to Credit Issuer for cancellation. Trustee shall comply with the
procedures set forth in the Letter of Credit relating to the surrender thereof.
     Section 5.04. Letter of Credit. Borrower shall at all times throughout the
term of this Indenture (but subject to Sections 2.04 and 5.07 hereof) maintain
or cause to be maintained the Letter of Credit with respect to the Notes. The
Letter of Credit shall be an obligation of Credit Issuer to pay to Trustee,
against presentation of sight drafts and certificates required by Credit Issuer,
up to (a) an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
Outstanding as necessary to pay the principal of such Notes, whether at
maturity, redemption, acceleration or otherwise or upon the purchase of such
Notes upon the optional tender of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof and
on the Mandatory Tender Date, and (b) an amount equal to 60 days (or such other
number of days as may be required to obtain a rating on the Notes) of interest
on the Notes calculated at an interest rate of 15% per annum on the basis of a
360-day year for the number of days actually elapsed while the Notes bear
interest at a Weekly Interest Rate and an amount equal to 180 days (or such
other number of days as may be required to obtain a rating on the Notes if the
Notes are then rated) of interest on the Notes calculated at the actual interest
rate or rates on the Notes on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months while the Notes bear interest at the Fixed Interest Rate to pay interest
on the Notes when due.
     (a) On any Business Day, Borrower may, at its option, provide or cause to
be provided to Trustee an Alternate Letter of Credit and Borrower shall, in any
event, cause to be delivered to Trustee an extension of the Expiration Date of
the Letter of Credit or an Alternate Letter of Credit at least (a) 45 days
before the Expiration Date of the then-existing Letter of Credit while the Notes
bear interest at the Weekly Interest Rate or (b) 45 days before the Expiration
Date of the then existing Letter of Credit while the Notes bear interest at the
Fixed Interest Rate. At least 35 days prior to the Letter of Credit Substitution
Date, Borrower shall provide Trustee, Credit Issuer, Tender Agent and
Remarketing Agent with a written notice of its intention to provide an Alternate
Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section. Such notice shall include the
proposed Letter of Credit Substitution Date, which shall be an Interest Payment
Date, and identify the provider of the Alternate Letter of Credit. An Alternate
Letter of Credit shall be an irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit or other
irrevocable credit facility delivered to Trustee on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New
York time, on the Letter of Credit Substitution Date, issued by a savings
institution, commercial bank or other financial institution or entity, the terms
of which shall in all material respects be the same as the Letter of Credit. On
or prior to the date of the delivery of an Alternate Letter of Credit to
Trustee, Borrower shall cause to be furnished to Trustee (i) such opinions
regarding the validity of the Alternate Letter of Credit as any rating agency
then rating the Notes may reasonably require, and (ii) written evidence from
Moody’s, if the Notes are then rated by Moody’s, and S&P, if the Notes are then
rated by S&P, to the effect that such rating agency has reviewed the proposed
Alternate Letter of Credit and that the substitution of the proposed Alternate
Letter of Credit will not, by itself, result in a reduction of its long-term
rating of

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the Notes below “A” if the Notes are rated by S&P or below “A2” if the Notes are
rated by Moody’s.
     (b) It is understood and agreed that with proper notification to Trustee
and Borrower, Credit Issuer can declare that a default has occurred under the
Reimbursement Agreement with Borrower and such default will cause a mandatory
redemption of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.01(f) hereof.
     (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.03(d) hereof, Trustee shall hold
and maintain the Letter of Credit for the benefit of the Registered Owners until
the Letter of Credit expires in accordance with its terms. Trustee shall
diligently observe all terms, covenants and conditions of the Letter of Credit,
including payment when due of any draws on the Letter of Credit, and the
provisions relating to the payment of draws on, and reinstatement of amounts
that may be drawn under, the Letter of Credit, and will not consent to, agree to
or permit any amendment or modification of the Letter of Credit which would
adversely affect the rights or security of the Registered Owners of the Notes.
If at any time during the term of the Letter of Credit, any successor Trustee
shall be appointed and qualified under this Indenture, the resigning or removed
Trustee shall request that Credit Issuer transfer the Letter of Credit to the
successor Trustee in accordance with the procedures for transfer specified in
the Letter of Credit. If the resigning or removed Trustee fails to make this
request, the successor Trustee shall do so before accepting appointment. Trustee
shall send notice to Credit Issuer and Borrower of the expiration of the Letter
of Credit at least two months prior to the date of such expiration.
     At least 30 days prior to the Letter of Credit Substitution Date, Trustee
shall send a written notice to the Registered Owners relating to Borrower’s
election to deliver an Alternate Credit Facility or Alternate Letter of Credit
to Trustee. Such notice shall (a) specify the proposed Letter of Credit
Substitution Date, (b) require the Registered Owners of all of the Outstanding
Notes to tender their Notes for purchase on the Mandatory Tender Date pursuant
to Section 4.07 hereof, and (c) state that all Outstanding Notes not purchased
on or before the Mandatory Tender Date will be deemed to be purchased on the
Mandatory Tender Date at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus
unpaid interest, if any, accrued to such date.
     Section 5.05. Investment of Moneys. Subject to the following sentence, all
moneys in any of the funds or accounts established pursuant to this Indenture
shall be invested by Trustee as directed in writing (which may be in the form of
a facsimile transmission), such writing to specify the particular investment to
be made, by an Authorized Representative of Borrower in Qualified Investments
maturing not later than the date on which it is estimated that such moneys will
be required for the purposes specified in this Indenture; provided, however,
that: (a) moneys on deposit in the Letter of Credit Account and the Purchase
Fund and any moneys held pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof shall be held
uninvested; (b) any moneys held in trust for the payment or redemption of Notes
pursuant to Article X hereof shall be invested as provided in Section 10.03
hereof; and (c) moneys described in clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of
Section 5.03(a) hereof shall be invested in Qualified Investments described in
clause (d) of the definition thereof which mature not later than the date on
which such moneys will be required to pay the Notes or the interest thereon. All
moneys in any of the funds or accounts established pursuant to this Indenture,

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

subject to the limitations set forth in (a) through (c) of the first sentence
above, shall be invested by Trustee in Qualified Investments maturing not later
than the date on which it is estimated that such moneys will be required for the
purposes specified in this Indenture.
     Qualified Investments may be purchased at such prices as may be directed by
Borrower or its agent. All Qualified Investments shall be acquired as directed
by Borrower subject to limitations as to maturities set forth in this Section,
and such additional limitations or requirements consistent with the foregoing as
may be established by Request of Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision
herein, in the absence of written investment instructions from Borrower
directing Trustee by 11:30 a.m., New York time, of the Business Day preceding
the day when investments are to be made, Trustee is directed to invest available
funds not described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the first paragraph of this
Section in the Federated Treasury Obligations Fund #398. Trustee shall not be
liable for any losses, fees, taxes or other charges resulting from any
investments, reinvestments or liquidations of investment made pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct; provided, however, the exculpatory provisions provided in this
sentence shall apply to Trustee only in its trustee capacity and not in its
capacity as investment provider.
     All interest, profits and other income received from the investment of
moneys in any fund established pursuant to this Indenture shall be deposited in
the Revenue Fund, except that any such interest, profits and other income
received from the investment of any moneys held in trust for the payment or
redemption of Notes pursuant to Article X shall be applied as provided in
Article X hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
paragraph, an amount of interest received with respect to any Qualified
Investment equal to the amount of accrued interest, if any, paid as part of the
purchase price of such Qualified Investment shall be credited to the fund from
which such accrued interest was paid.
     For the purpose of determining the amount in any fund, all Qualified
Investments credited to such fund shall be valued at the market value of such
Qualified Investments.
     Trustee may act as principal or agent in the making or disposing of any
investment. Trustee may sell at the best price obtainable by it in Trustee’s
sole discretion, or present for redemption, any Qualified Investment so
purchased whenever it shall be necessary to provide moneys to meet any required
payment, transfer, withdrawal or disbursement from the fund to which such
Qualified Investment is credited, and Trustee shall not be liable or responsible
for any loss resulting from such investment except for its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. For investment purposes only, Trustee may commingle
moneys held in the Interest Account and Principal Account of the Revenue Fund.
     Section 5.06. Additional Duties of Trustee. While the Notes bear interest
at the Weekly Interest Rate, Trustee shall send to Borrower an invoice for the
interest accrued on the Notes for the current Interest Period which is to be
paid hereunder as soon as such amount is available. While the Notes bear
interest at the Fixed Interest Rate, 20 days prior to each Interest Payment
Date, Trustee shall send to Borrower an invoice for the interest due on the
Notes on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date which is to be paid
hereunder. Trustee shall send to Credit Issuer a copy of each invoice sent to
Borrower. If full payment of any such invoice is not received by the date
Borrower is required to make such payment hereunder, Trustee shall

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

promptly notify in writing Credit Issuer and Borrower of such nonpayment or
underpayment by Borrower. Trustee shall promptly give Credit Issuer written
notice upon the failure of Borrower to make any principal payment hereunder.
     Section 5.07. Alternate Credit Facility. If Borrower exercises its option
to convert the interest rate borne by the Notes from the Weekly Interest Rate to
the Fixed Interest Rate pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Indenture,
Borrower may cause to be delivered to Trustee an Alternate Credit Facility,
effective as of the Fixed Interest Rate Date, in lieu of keeping the Letter of
Credit in place as required by Section 5.04 hereof.
     Such Alternate Credit Facility must meet the following conditions:
     (a) the terms of the Alternate Credit Facility must provide an
unconditional obligation of the issuer of the Alternate Credit Facility to pay
all amounts with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Notes when the same shall become due; and
     (b) the term of the Alternate Credit Facility must extend to the final
maturity of the Notes.
     On or prior to the date of the delivery of an Alternate Credit Facility to
Trustee, Borrower shall cause to be furnished to Trustee (i) such opinions
regarding the validity of the Alternate Credit Facility as any rating agency
then rating the Notes may reasonably require, and (ii) written evidence from
Moody’s, if the Notes are then rated by Moody’s, and S&P, if the Notes are then
rated by S&P, to the effect that such rating agency has reviewed the proposed
Alternate Credit Facility and that the substitution of the proposed Alternate
Credit Facility for the Letter of Credit will not, by itself, result in a
reduction of its long term rating of the Notes below “A” if the Notes are rated
by S&P or below “A2” if the Notes are rated by Moody’s.
ARTICLE VI
PARTICULAR REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
     Section 6.01. Punctual Payment. Borrower shall punctually pay or cause to
be paid the principal, premium, if any, and interest to become due in respect of
all the Notes, in strict conformity with the terms of the Notes and of this
Indenture, according to the true intent and meaning thereof.
     Section 6.02. Extension of Payment of Notes. Borrower shall not directly or
indirectly extend or assent to the extension of the maturity of any of the Notes
or the time of payment of any claims for interest by the purchase or funding of
such Notes or claims for interest or by any other arrangement and in case the
maturity of any of the Notes or the time of payment of any such claims for
interest shall be extended, such Notes or claims for interest shall not be
entitled, in case of any default hereunder, to the benefits of this Indenture,
except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal of all of the Notes
then outstanding and of all claims for interest thereon which shall not have
been so extended. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to limit the right of
Borrower to issue notes for the purpose of refunding any Outstanding Notes, and
such issuance shall not be deemed to constitute an extension of maturity of
Notes.

32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     Section 6.03. Encumbrances. Borrower shall not create, or permit the
creation of, any pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance upon the Account
Funds while any of the Notes are Outstanding, except the pledge created by this
Indenture and the Reimbursement Agreement. Subject to this limitation, Borrower
expressly reserves the right to enter into one or more other indentures for any
of its company purposes, and reserves the right to issue other obligations for
such purposes.
     Section 6.04. Accounting Records and Reports. Trustee shall keep or cause
to be kept proper books of record and account in which complete and correct
entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the receipt, investment,
disbursement, allocation and application of the Note Payments, the proceeds of
the Notes received by Trustee and all funds and accounts held hereunder. Such
records shall specify the account or fund to which each investment (or portion
thereof) held by Trustee is to be allocated and shall set forth, in the case of
each Qualified Investment, (a) its purchase price, (b) identifying information,
including par amount, coupon rate, and payment dates, (c) the amount received at
maturity or its sale price, as the case may be, (d) the amounts and dates of any
payments made with respect thereto, and (e) the dates of acquisition and
disposition or maturity.
     Such records shall be open to inspection by any Registered Owner, Borrower
and Credit Issuer at any reasonable time during regular business hours on
reasonable notice.
     Section 6.05. Other Covenants. Trustee shall promptly collect all amounts
due from Borrower hereunder, shall perform all duties imposed upon it hereunder
and shall diligently enforce, and take all steps, actions and proceedings
reasonably necessary for the enforcement of all of the obligations of Borrower.
     Section 6.06. Further Assurances. Borrower shall make, execute and deliver
any and all such further indentures, instruments and assurances as may be
reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the
performance of this Indenture and for the better assuring and confirming unto
the Registered Owners of the Notes of the rights and benefits provided in this
Indenture.
ARTICLE VII
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES OF REGISTERED OWNERS
     Section 7.01. Events of Default; Acceleration; Waiver of Default. Each of
the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:
     (a) default in the due and punctual payment of the principal of, or premium
(if any) on, any Note when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether
at maturity as therein expressed, by proceedings for redemption, by declaration
or otherwise;
     (b) default in the due and punctual payment of any installment of interest
on any Note, when and as such interest installment shall become due and payable
and the continuation of such failure for a period of five days after the due
date for such payment;

33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     (c) failure to pay the purchase price of any Note tendered in accordance
with the provisions of Sections 4.06 and 4.07 hereof and the continuation of
such failure for a period of five days after such purchase price has become due
and payable;
     (d) failure by Borrower to fully and timely observe and perform its
obligations under Section 5.04 hereof;
     (e) failure by Borrower to perform or observe any of the other covenants,
agreements or conditions on its part in this Indenture or in the Notes
contained, and the continuation of such failure for a period of 30 days after
written notice thereof, specifying such default and requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given (i) to Credit Issuer and Borrower by Trustee,
(ii) to Credit Issuer, Borrower and Trustee by the Registered Owners of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding or
(iii) to Borrower and Trustee by Credit Issuer; provided, however, that if the
failure stated in such notice cannot be corrected within such 30-day period, an
extension of such time will not be unreasonably withheld if corrective action is
instituted by Borrower within the applicable period and diligently pursued until
the default is corrected; or
     (f) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under the
Reimbursement Agreement.
     During the continuance of an Event of Default, unless the principal of all
the Notes shall have already become due and payable, Trustee shall, at the
direction of Credit Issuer, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
described in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, Trustee shall by notice in writing to
Tender Agent, Remarketing Agent, Borrower, Credit Issuer and the Registered
Owners, declare the principal of all the Notes then Outstanding, and the
interest accrued thereon, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such
declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable,
anything in this Indenture or in the Notes contained to the contrary
notwithstanding. Upon any such declaration Trustee shall immediately draw upon
any then existing Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms thereof and
apply the amount so drawn to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes
(other than Borrower Notes) so declared to be due and payable. Interest on the
Notes shall cease to accrue upon the declaration of acceleration. Trustee shall
notify the Registered Owners of the date of acceleration and the cessation of
accrual of interest on the Notes in the same manner as for a notice of
redemption.
     The preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the condition that if, at
any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and
payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due
shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, and before the
Letter of Credit has been drawn upon in accordance with its terms and honored,
there shall have been deposited with Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all the
principal of the Notes matured prior to such declaration and all matured
installments of interest (if any) upon all the Notes, with interest on such
overdue installments of principal as provided in this Indenture, and the
reasonable expenses of Trustee, and any and all other defaults known to Trustee
(other than in the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes due and
payable solely by reason of such declaration) shall have been made good or cured
to the satisfaction of Trustee or provision deemed by Trustee to be adequate
shall have been made therefor, then, and

34

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

in every such case, the Registered Owners of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, by written notice to Borrower
and to Trustee, may, on behalf of the Registered Owners of all the Notes,
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and waive such default;
but no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any
subsequent default, or shall impair or exhaust any right or power as a
consequence thereof.
     Section 7.02. Institution of Legal Proceedings by Trustee. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
of Section 7.11 hereof, Trustee in its discretion may, and upon the written
request of Credit Issuer or the Registered Owners of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes then Outstanding and upon being indemnified to its
satisfaction therefor shall, proceed to protect or enforce its rights or the
rights of the Registered Owners of Notes under this Indenture by a suit in
equity or action at law, either for the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement contained herein or therein, or in aid of the execution of any power
herein or therein granted, or by mandamus or other appropriate proceeding for
the enforcement of any other legal or equitable remedy as Trustee shall deem
most effectual in support of any of its rights or duties hereunder.
     Section 7.03. Application of Account Funds and Other Funds After Default.
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Account Funds and any
other funds then held or thereafter received by Trustee under any of the
provisions of this Indenture (subject to Sections 5.05 and 11.10 hereof) shall
be applied by Trustee as follows and in the following order:
     (a) to the payment of any reasonable expenses necessary in the opinion of
Trustee to protect the interests of the Registered Owners of the Notes and
payment of reasonable fees and expenses of Trustee (including reasonable fees
and disbursements of its counsel) incurred in and about the performance of its
powers and duties under this Indenture; provided, however, that moneys in the
Letter of Credit Account of the Revenue Fund and the Purchase Fund shall not be
used for the payment of any such expenses;
     (b) to the payment of the principal of and interest then due on the Notes
(upon presentation of the Notes to be paid, and stamping thereon of the payment
if only partially paid, or surrender thereof if fully paid) subject to the
provisions of this Indenture (including Section 6.02 hereof), as follows:
     (i) Unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have become or have been
declared due and payable,
     FIRST, to the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments
of interest then due in the order of the maturity of such installments, and, if
the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any installment or
installments maturing on the same date, then to the payment thereof ratably,
according to the amounts due thereon, to the persons entitled thereto, without
any discrimination or preference; and

35

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     SECOND, to the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid
principal of any Notes which shall have become due, whether at maturity or by
call for redemption, with interest on the overdue principal at the rate borne by
the respective Notes, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to
pay in full all the Notes, together with such interest, then to the payment
thereof ratably, according to the amounts of principal due on such date to the
persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference.
     (ii) If the principal of all of the Notes shall have become or have been
declared due and payable, to the payment of the principal and interest then due
and unpaid upon the Notes, with interest on the overdue principal at the rate
borne by the Notes, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay
in full the whole amount so due and unpaid, then to the payment thereof ratably,
without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over
principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of
interest, or of any Note over any other Note, according to the amounts due
respectively for principal and interest, to the persons entitled thereto without
any discrimination or preference; provided, however, that neither moneys derived
from drawings under the Letter of Credit, Available Moneys, moneys being aged to
become Available Moneys, nor the proceeds from remarketing of the Notes shall be
used to pay any of the items listed in clause (a) of this Section; and provided,
further, that moneys held in the Purchase Fund shall only be used to pay the
purchase price of the Notes.
     (c) To the payment of Credit Issuer of any amounts due and owing under the
Reimbursement Agreement and the payment of the remainder, if any, to Borrower.
     Section 7.04. Trustee to Represent Registered Owners. Trustee is hereby
irrevocably appointed (and the successive respective Registered Owners of the
Notes, by taking and holding the same, shall be conclusively deemed to have so
appointed Trustee) as trustee and true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the
Registered Owners of the Notes for the purpose of exercising and prosecuting on
their behalf such rights and remedies as may be available to such Registered
Owners under the provisions of the Notes, this Indenture and applicable
provisions of any other law. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default or other occasion giving rise to a right in Trustee to represent the
Registered Owners, Trustee in its discretion may, and upon the written request
of the Registered Owners of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes then Outstanding, and upon being indemnified to its satisfaction
therefor (except any actions required to be taken by Section 7.03 hereof, in
which event no indemnification shall be required), shall, proceed to protect or
enforce its rights or the rights of such Registered Owners by such appropriate
action, suit, mandamus or other proceedings as it shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any such right, at law or in equity, either for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or in aid of the
execution of any power herein granted, or for the enforcement of any other
appropriate legal or equitable right or remedy vested in Trustee or in such
Registered Owners under this Indenture or any other law; and upon instituting
such proceeding, Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the
appointment of a receiver of the Account Funds and other assets pledged under
this Indenture, pending such proceedings. All rights of action under this
Indenture or the Notes or otherwise

36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

may be prosecuted and enforced by Trustee without the possession of any of the
Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such
suit, action or proceeding instituted by Trustee shall be brought in the name of
Trustee for the benefit and protection of all the Registered Owners of such
Notes, subject to the provisions of this Indenture (including Section 6.02
hereof).
     Section 7.05. Registered Owners’ Direction of Proceedings. Anything in this
Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Registered Owners of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding shall have the
right, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing executed and
delivered to Trustee, to direct the method of conducting all remedial
proceedings taken by Trustee hereunder, provided that such direction shall not
be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture,
and that Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction
which in the opinion of Trustee would be unjustly prejudicial to Registered
Owners not parties to such direction or for which it has not been provided
adequate indemnity to its satisfaction.
     Section 7.06. Limitation on Registered Owners’ Right to Sue. No Registered
Owner of any Note shall have the right to institute any suit, action or
proceeding at law or in equity, for the protection or enforcement of any right
or remedy under this Indenture or any other applicable law with respect to such
Note, unless (a) such Registered Owner shall have given to Trustee written
notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default; (b) the Registered Owners of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding
shall have made written request upon Trustee to exercise the powers hereinbefore
granted or to institute such suit, action or proceeding in its own name;
(c) such Registered Owner or said Registered Owners shall have tendered to
Trustee indemnity reasonable to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities
to be incurred in compliance with such request; and (d) Trustee shall have
refused or omitted to comply with such request for a period of 60 days after
such written request shall have been received by, and said tender of indemnity
shall have been made to, Trustee.
     Such notification, request, tender of indemnity and refusal or omission are
hereby declared, in every case, to be conditions precedent to the exercise by
any Registered Owner of Notes of any remedy hereunder or under law; it being
understood and intended that no one or more Registered Owners of Notes shall
have any right in any manner whatever by his or their action to affect, disturb
or prejudice the security of this Indenture or the rights of any other
Registered Owners of Notes, or to enforce any right under this Indenture or
other applicable law with respect to the Notes, except in the manner herein
provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity to enforce any such right
shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for
the benefit and protection of all Registered Owners of the Outstanding Notes,
subject to the provisions of this Indenture (including Section 6.02 hereof).
     Section 7.07. Absolute Obligation of Borrower. Nothing in Section 7.06
hereof or in any other provision of this Indenture, or in the Notes, contained
shall affect or impair the obligation of Borrower, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes to the
respective Registered Owners of the Notes at their respective dates of maturity,
or upon acceleration or call for redemption, as herein provided, or affect or
impair the right of such Registered Owners, which is also absolute and
unconditional, to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in the
Notes.

37

     Section 7.08. Termination of Proceedings. In case any proceedings taken by
Trustee or any one or more Registered Owners on account of any Event of Default
shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been
determined adversely to Trustee or the Registered Owners, then in every such
case Borrower, Credit Issuer, Trustee and the Registered Owners, subject to any
determination in such proceedings, shall be restored to their former positions
and rights hereunder, severally and respectively, and all rights, remedies,
powers and duties of Borrower, Credit Issuer, Trustee and the Registered Owners
shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. Trustee shall
deliver copies of all proceedings taken by Trustee under this Indenture to
Tender Agent.
     Section 7.09. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to Trustee, Credit Issuer or to the Registered Owners of the Notes is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every
such remedy, to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition
to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise.
     Section 7.10. No Waiver of Default. In the event any agreement or covenant
contained in this Indenture should be breached by Borrower and thereafter waived
by Trustee or the Registered Owners of the Notes, such waiver shall be limited
to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other
breach hereunder. No delay or omission of Trustee or of any Registered Owner of
the Notes to exercise any right or power arising upon the occurrence of any
default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and
remedy given by this Indenture to Trustee or to the Registered Owners of the
Notes may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient.
     Section 7.11. Consent to Defaults. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Indenture, so long as the Letter of Credit is in full force and effect and
Credit Issuer has not wrongfully dishonored and is not continuing wrongfully to
dishonor drawings under the Letter of Credit and all payments of principal or
purchase price of and interest on the Notes have been timely made, no Event of
Default shall be declared (except in a case resulting from the failure of
Borrower to pay fees or indemnification amounts to Trustee), nor any remedies
exercised with respect to any such Events of Default by Trustee or by the
Registered Owners and no Event of Default shall be waived by Trustee or the
Registered Owners to the extent they may otherwise be permitted hereunder,
except at the prior written direction of Credit Issuer. Unless an Alternate
Credit Facility has been provided, no Event of Default can be waived, in any
circumstance, unless the Letter of Credit has been fully reinstated and is in
full force and effect as evidenced in writing by Credit Issuer to Trustee.

ARTICLE VIII
TRUSTEE, THE REMARKETING
AGENT AND TENDER AGENT
     Section 8.01. Duties, Immunities and Liabilities of Trustee.
     (a) Trustee shall, prior to an Event of Default, and after the curing of
all Events of Default which may have occurred, perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. Trustee shall, during
the existence of any Event of Default (which has not been cured), exercise such
of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree
of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs.
     (b) Trustee may at any time and for any reason be removed by an instrument
or concurrent instruments in writing appointing a successor Trustee filed with
Trustee so removed and Borrower and executed by the Registered Owners of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes Outstanding. Trustee may
also be removed at any time for acting or proceeding in violation of, or for
failing to act or proceed in accordance with, any provisions of this Indenture
with respect to the duties and obligations of Trustee, by Borrower (so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) or by any court of competent
jurisdiction upon the application of Credit Issuer or by the Registered Owners
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes Outstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustee may not be removed until a successor
Trustee acceptable to Credit Issuer has been appointed and has assumed the
duties and responsibilities of successor Trustee under this Indenture.
     (c) Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such
resignation to Borrower and Credit Issuer and by giving the Registered Owners
notice of such resignation by mail at the addresses shown on the registration
books maintained by Note Registrar. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
Borrower shall promptly appoint, with the consent of Credit Issuer, a successor
Trustee by an instrument in writing. Trustee shall not be relieved of its duties
until such successor Trustee has accepted its appointment.
     (d) Any removal or resignation of Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee acceptable to Credit Issuer shall become effective only upon acceptance
of appointment by the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been
appointed and have accepted appointment within 45 days of giving notice of
removal or notice of resignation as aforesaid, the resigning Trustee or any
Registered Owner (on behalf of himself and all other Registered Owners) may
petition at the expense of Borrower any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee, and such court may thereupon, after such
notice (if any) as it may deem proper, appoint such successor Trustee. Any
successor Trustee appointed under this Indenture, shall signify its acceptance
of such appointment by executing and delivering to Borrower, Credit Issuer and
to its predecessor Trustee a written acceptance thereof and a written instrument
by

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the successor Trustee indemnifying the predecessor Trustee for all costs or
claims arising after the acceptance of appointment hereunder relating to such
successor Trustee’s performance of its duties under this Indenture, and
thereupon and after the payment by Borrower of all unpaid fees and expenses
(including legal fees and expenses) of the predecessor Trustee such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the moneys, estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and
obligations of such predecessor Trustee, with like effect as if originally named
Trustee herein; but, nevertheless at the Request of Borrower or the request of
the successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver any
and all instruments of conveyance or further assurance and do such other things
as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all the right, title and interest of such
predecessor Trustee in and to any property held by it under this Indenture and
shall pay over, transfer, assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any money
or other property subject to the trusts and conditions herein set forth. Upon
request of the successor Trustee, Borrower shall execute and deliver any and all
instruments as may be reasonably required for more fully and certainly vesting
in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such moneys, estates,
properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations. Upon acceptance of
appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this subsection, Borrower
shall mail a notice of the succession of such Trustee to the trusts hereunder to
each rating agency which is then rating the Notes, to the Registered Owners at
the addresses shown on the registration books maintained by Note Registrar and
to Credit Issuer. If Borrower fails to mail such notice within 15 days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of Borrower.
     (e) Any Trustee appointed under the provisions of this Section in
succession to Trustee shall be a trust company or bank having the powers of a
trust company, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000,
and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such
bank or trust company publishes a report of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority
above referred to, then for the purpose of this subsection the combined capital
and surplus of such bank or trust company shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. In case at any time Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this subsection, Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in this Section.
     Section 8.02. Merger or Consolidation. Any company into which Trustee may
be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any company
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a
party or any company to which Trustee may sell or transfer all or substantially
all of its corporate trust business, provided such company shall be eligible
under Section 8.01(e) hereof, shall be the successor to such Trustee without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.

     Section 8.03. Liability of Trustee.
     (a) The recitals of facts herein and in the Notes contained shall be taken

faith by a responsible officer, unless it shall be proved that the actions taken

negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Registered Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to Trustee or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon Trustee under this Indenture.
     (d) Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any
of the Registered Owners pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture unless
such Registered Owners shall have offered to Trustee satisfactory security or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that
Trustee shall not be entitled to any security or indemnity with respect to its
obligation to draw under the Letter of Credit to pay the principal or purchase
price of or interest on the Notes.
     (e) Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith
and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers

     (f) Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default or Event
of Default hereunder unless and until it shall have actual knowledge thereof, or
shall have received written notice thereof at its designated corporate trust
office. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Trustee shall not be
bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the
terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or of any of the documents
executed in connection with the Notes or as to the existence of a default or
Event of Default thereunder. Trustee shall not be responsible for the validity
or effectiveness of any collateral given to or held by it.
     (g) No provision of this Indenture shall require Trustee to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights or powers. Trustee
shall, however, in any case make drawings under the Letter of Credit, pay
principal or purchase price of or interest on the Notes as it becomes due and
accelerate the Notes as required by this Indenture, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein.
     (h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to
Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are
extended to, and shall be enforceable by, Trustee in each of its capacities
hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

Borrower executed on its behalf by an Authorized Representative of Borrower
setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at
such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which officer’s
certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an officer’s
certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such
certificate previously delivered and not superseded.
     Section 8.04. Right of Trustee to Rely on Documents. Trustee shall be
protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order,
certificate, report, opinion, note or other paper or document believed by it to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, who may be counsel of or to
Borrower, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall
be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken
or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith.
     Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any person as the Registered Owner
of a Note unless and until such Note is submitted for inspection, if required,
and its title thereto is satisfactorily established if disputed.
     Whenever in the administration of the trusts imposed upon it by this
Indenture Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a factual matter be
proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such
matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a
Certificate of Borrower, and such Certificate shall be full warrant to Trustee
for any action taken or suffered in good faith under the provisions of this
Indenture in reliance upon such Certificate,

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

but in its discretion Trustee may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of
such matter or may require such additional evidence as it may deem reasonable.
     Section 8.05. Preservation and Inspection of Documents. All documents
received by Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture shall be retained in
its possession and shall be subject at all reasonable times to the inspection of

compensation as shall be agreed in writing between Borrower and Trustee for all
services rendered under this Indenture, and also all reasonable expenses,
charges, legal and consulting fees and other disbursements and those of its
attorneys, agents and employees, incurred in and about the performance of its
powers and duties under this Indenture, and Trustee and Tender Agent each shall
have a lien therefor on any and all funds (except moneys on deposit in the
Purchase Fund and the Letter of Credit Account, Available Moneys, moneys being
aged to become Available Moneys and funds held for the payment of Notes or the
interest thereon which is past due or for which notice of redemption has been
mailed) at any time held by it under this Indenture which lien shall be prior
and superior to the lien of the Registered Owners of the Notes.
     (b) Borrower releases Trustee from, and covenants and agrees that Trustee
shall not be liable for, and covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Trustee and its officers, employees and agents from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, of every conceivable kind,
character and nature whatsoever arising out of, resulting from, or in any way
connected with (a) the Property, or the conditions, occupancy, use, possession,
conduct or management of, or work done in or about, or from the planning,
design, acquisition, installation or construction of, the Property or any part
thereof; (b) the issuance of any Notes or any certifications or representations
made in connection therewith by Borrower and the carrying out of any of the

offering of any Notes; provided that in each case such release and indemnity
shall not be required for damages that result from the willful misconduct or
gross negligence on the part of the party seeking such indemnity. The indemnity
required by this Section shall be only to the extent that any loss sustained by
Trustee exceeds the net proceeds Trustee receives from any insurance carried by
Borrower with respect to the loss sustained. Borrower further covenants and
agrees to pay or to reimburse Trustee and Tender Agent and their officers,
employees and agents for any and all costs, reasonable attorneys fees and
expenses, liabilities or expenses incurred in connection with investigating,
defending against or otherwise in connection with any

time to time and at any time by an indenture or indentures supplemental thereto,
which Borrower and Trustee may enter into with the written consent of Credit
Issuer and the Registered Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
all Notes then Outstanding, which consent Borrower and Credit Issuer shall file
with Trustee. No such modification or amendment shall (i) extend the fixed
maturity of any Note, reduce the amount of principal thereof, extend the time of

modification or amendment; or (iii) permit the creation of any lien on the
Account Funds and other assets pledged under this Indenture prior to or on a
parity with the lien created by this Indenture or deprive the Registered Owners
of the Notes of the lien created by this Indenture on such Account Funds and
other assets (except as expressly provided in this Indenture), without the
consent of the Registered Owners of all of the Notes then Outstanding, or
(iv) adversely affect the interests of Tender Agent without its prior written
consent. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Registered Owners to
approve the particular form of any Supplemental Indenture, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. Promptly after
the execution by Borrower and Trustee of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to
this subsection (a), Trustee shall mail a copy of the Supplemental Indenture to
Tender Agent and mail a notice to be prepared by Borrower, setting forth in
general terms the substance of such Supplemental Indenture, to each rating
agency then rating the Notes and the Registered Owners of the Notes at the
address shown on the registration books of Note

Registrar. However, any failure to give such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of any such Supplemental
Indenture.
     (b) This Indenture and the rights and obligations of Borrower, Trustee and
the Registered Owners of the Notes may also be modified or amended from time to
time and at any time by an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto, which
Borrower and Trustee may enter into without the consent of any Registered Owners
but with the written consent of Credit Issuer, but only to the extent permitted
by law including (without limitation) for any one or more of the following
purposes:
     (i) to add to the covenants and agreements of Borrower contained in this
Indenture other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, to pledge or
assign additional security for the Notes or to surrender any right or power
herein reserved to or conferred upon Borrower;
     (ii) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity,
inconsistency or omission, or of curing or correcting any defective provision,
contained in this Indenture, or in regard to matters or questions arising under
this Indenture, as Borrower may deem necessary or desirable which do not
adversely affect the rights of the Registered Owners hereunder;
     (iii) to modify, amend or supplement this Indenture in such manner as to
permit the qualification hereof under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended, or any similar federal statute hereafter in effect, and to add such
other terms, conditions and provisions as may be permitted by said act or
similar federal statute;
     (iv) to make such provisions for the purpose of conforming to the terms and
provisions of any Alternate Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility or to
obtain a rating on the Notes which do not adversely affect the rights of the
Registered Owners hereunder; and
     (v) to modify, amend or supplement this Indenture in any other respect
which does not adversely affect the rights of the Registered Owners hereunder.
Trustee shall give notice of any such modification or amendment to each rating
agency then rating the Notes.
     (c) Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into any such Supplemental Indenture authorized by subsections (a) or (b) of
this Section which materially adversely affects Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. In executing, or accepting the
additional trusts created by, any Supplemental Indenture permitted by this
Article or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture,
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an opinion of counsel stating that the execution of such Supplemental
Indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Registered Owners of Notes Outstanding shall thereafter be determined, exercised
and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modification and
amendment, and all the terms and conditions of any such Supplemental Indenture
shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any
and all purposes.

delivered after the execution of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to this
Article may, and if Borrower so determines shall, bear a notation by endorsement
or otherwise in form approved by Borrower as to any modification or amendment
provided for in such Supplemental Indenture, and, in that case, upon demand of
the Registered Owner of any Note Outstanding at the time of such execution and
presentation of his Note for the purpose at the office of Note Registrar or at
such additional offices as Note Registrar may select and designate for that
purpose, a suitable notation shall be made on such Note. If the Supplemental
Indenture shall so provide, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of Borrower, to any modification or amendment contained in such Supplemental
Indenture, shall be prepared and executed by Borrower and authenticated by Note
Registrar, and upon demand of the Registered Owners of any Notes then
Outstanding shall be exchanged at the principal office of Note Registrar,
without cost to any Registered Owner, for Notes then Outstanding upon surrender
for cancellation of such Notes in equal aggregate principal amounts of the same
maturity.
     Section 9.04. Amendment of Particular Notes. The provisions of this Article
shall not prevent any Registered Owner from accepting any amendment as to the
particular Notes held by such Registered Owner, provided that due notation
thereof is made on such Notes.

DEFEASANCE
     Section 10.01. Discharge of Indenture. The Notes may be paid by Borrower in
any of the following ways, provided that Borrower also pays or causes to be paid
any other sums payable hereunder by Borrower:
     (a) by paying or causing to be paid with Available Moneys the principal of,
interest and premium, if any, on the Notes, as and when the same become due and
payable;
     (b) by depositing with Trustee, in trust, at or before maturity, money or
securities in the necessary amount (as provided in Section 10.03 hereof) to pay

evidence from Moody’s, if the Notes are then rated by Moody’s, and S&P, if the
Notes are then rated by S&P, to the effect that

51

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

such payment will not result in a withdrawal of its rating on the Notes or a
reduction from the rating which then exists as to the Notes. If Borrower shall
also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by Borrower, then
and in that case, at the election of Borrower (evidenced by a Certificate of
Borrower, filed with Trustee, signifying the intention of Borrower to discharge
all such indebtedness and this Indenture), and notwithstanding that any Notes
shall not have been surrendered for payment, this Indenture and the pledge of
the Account Funds and other assets made under this Indenture and all covenants,
agreements and other obligations of Borrower under this Indenture shall cease,
terminate, become void and be completely discharged and satisfied except only as
provided in Sections 8.06(b) and 10.02 hereof. In such event, upon Request of
Borrower, Trustee shall cause an accounting for such period or periods as may be
requested by Borrower to be prepared and filed with Borrower and shall execute
and deliver to Borrower all such instruments as may be necessary or desirable to
evidence such discharge and satisfaction, and Trustee shall pay over, transfer,
assign or deliver all moneys or securities or other property held by it pursuant
to this Indenture which are not required for the payment of obligations to be
paid from Additional Payments or for the payment or redemption of Notes not
theretofore surrendered for such payment or redemption in the following order
(i) first, to Credit Issuer to the extent of any amounts due to Credit Issuer
pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, and (ii) otherwise, to Borrower,
provided that moneys in the Letter of Credit Account, the Liquidity Account and
the Remarketing Account shall be returned to Credit Issuer to the extent that
Borrower’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement have not otherwise been
satisfied.
     Section 10.02. Discharge of Liability on Notes. Upon the deposit with
Trustee, in trust, at or before maturity, of money or securities in the
necessary amount (as provided in Section 10.03 hereof) to pay or redeem all
Outstanding Notes (whether upon or prior to the maturity or the redemption date
of such Notes), provided that, if any of such Notes are to be redeemed prior to
maturity, notice of such redemption shall have been given as provided in
Article IV or provision satisfactory to Trustee shall have been made for the
giving of such notice, then all liability of Borrower in respect of such Notes
shall cease, terminate and be completely discharged, except only that the
Registered Owners thereof shall thereafter be entitled to payment of the
principal or redemption price, as applicable, of and interest on such Notes by
Borrower, and Borrower shall remain liable for such payment, but only out of
such money or securities deposited with Trustee as aforesaid for their payment;
provided, further, however, that the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof shall
apply in all events. In the event any of said Notes are not to be redeemed
within the next succeeding 60 days, Borrower shall have given Trustee in form
satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions for it to mail, as soon as
practicable in the same manner as a notice of redemption is mailed pursuant to
Article IV hereof, a notice to the Registered Owners of such Notes that the
deposit required above has been made with Trustee and that said Notes are deemed
to have been paid in accordance with this Section and stating such maturity or
redemption dates upon which moneys are to be available for the payment of the
principal or redemption price, as applicable, of said Notes.
     Section 10.03. Deposit of Money or Securities with Trustee. Whenever in
this Indenture it is provided or permitted that there be deposited with or held
in trust by Trustee money or securities in the necessary amount to pay or redeem
any Notes, the money or securities so to be deposited or held may include money
or securities held by Trustee in the funds and

52

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

accounts established pursuant to this Indenture (exclusive of the Note Fund, the
Purchase Fund and the Letter of Credit Account) and shall be:
     (a) Available Moneys in an amount equal to the principal amount of such
Notes, all unpaid interest thereon to maturity, and the purchase price of such
Notes except that, in the case of Notes which are to be redeemed prior to
maturity and in respect of which notice of such redemption shall have been given
as in Article IV hereof provided or provision satisfactory to Trustee shall have
been made for the giving of such notice, the amount to be deposited or held
shall be the redemption price of such Notes and all unpaid interest thereon to
the redemption date; or
     (b) Government Obligations purchased with Available Moneys which when due
will provide money sufficient in the opinion of an Accountant delivered to
Trustee and Credit Issuer, at Borrower’s expense, to pay the principal or
redemption price, as applicable, of, all unpaid interest to maturity, or to the
redemption date, as the case may be, on the Notes to be paid or redeemed, as
such principal and interest become due, and the purchase price of such Notes;
provided that, in the case of Notes which are to be redeemed prior to the
maturity thereof, notice of such redemption shall have been given as provided in
Article IV hereof or provision satisfactory to Trustee shall have been made for
the giving of such notice; and provided further that Government Obligations
purchased pursuant to this paragraph shall not be subject to redemption prior to
their maturity other than at the option of the holder thereof unless the moneys
to be available from the redemption of such securities on the earliest date on
which such securities are subject to redemption, other than at the option of the
holder thereof, shall be at least equal to the amount of money expected to be
derived in connection with such securities in determining that the provisions of
this paragraph have been satisfied;
provided, in each case, that Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed (by
the terms of this Indenture or by Request of Borrower) to apply such money to
the payment of such principal or redemption price, as applicable, and interest
with respect to such Notes.
     Section 10.04. Payments After Discharge of Indenture. When there are no
longer any Notes Outstanding, and all fees, charges and expenses of Trustee,
Tender Agent and any Paying Agents have been paid or provided for, and all
expenses of Borrower relating to this Indenture have been paid or provided for,
and all other amounts payable hereunder have been paid, and this Indenture has
been discharged and satisfied, and subject to the escheat laws of the State,
Trustee shall pay any moneys remaining in any fund established and held
hereunder in the following order (a) first, to Credit Issuer to the extent of
any amounts due to Credit Issuer pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, and
(b) otherwise to Borrower, provided that moneys in the Letter of Credit Account,
the Liquidity Account and the Remarketing Account shall be returned to Credit
Issuer to the extent that Borrower’s obligations under the Reimbursement
Agreement have not otherwise been satisfied.

consent or other instrument required or permitted by this Indenture to be signed
and executed by Registered Owners may be in any number of concurrent instruments
of substantially similar tenor and shall be signed or executed by such

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     Section 11.08. Disqualified Notes. In determining whether the Registered
Owners of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in
any demand, request, direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Notes
which are owned or held by or for the account of Borrower (including Borrower
Notes), or by any other obligor on the Notes, or by any person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by, or under direct or indirect common
control with, Borrower or any other obligor on the Notes, shall be disregarded
and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.
Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as
Outstanding for the purposes of this Section if the pledgee shall establish to
the satisfaction of Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Notes and that the
pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by, or
under direct or indirect common control with, Borrower or any other obligor on
the Notes. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by Trustee taken
upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to Trustee.
     Section 11.09. Money Held for Particular Notes.
     (a) The money held by Trustee for the payment of the interest, principal,
or premium due on any date with respect to particular Notes (or portions of
Notes in the case of Notes redeemed in part only) shall, on and after such date
and pending such payment, be set aside on its books and held in trust by it for
the Registered Owners of the Notes entitled thereto (subject, however, to the
provisions of Section 10.04 hereof) for a period of two years but without any
liability for interest thereon.
     (b) Upon the expiration of the period specified in subsection (a) above,
except as provided in subsection (c) below, funds held by Trustee pursuant to
this Indenture shall be paid, subject to any prior payments pursuant to the
provisions of Section 10.04 hereof, to Borrower, and funds held by Tender Agent
shall be paid to Trustee and thereafter paid, subject to the provisions of
Section 10.04 hereof, to Borrower, upon direction of an Authorized
Representative of Borrower, and, subject to the escheat laws of the State,
thereafter Registered Owners shall be entitled to look only to Borrower for
payment, and then only to the extent of the amount so deposited with Borrower,
and all liability of Borrower or Trustee with respect to such money shall
thereupon cease, and Borrower shall not be liable for any interest thereon and
shall not be regarded as a trustee of such money.
     (c) Any moneys held by Trustee or Tender Agent, as the case may be, in the
Letter of Credit Account or the Liquidity Account for the payment of the
principal, premium, or purchase price of any Notes not so applied to the payment
of the Notes within two years after the date on which the same shall have become
due shall be transferred to Credit Issuer. Upon the expiration of the period
specified in subsection (a) above, any moneys held by Tender Agent representing
the proceeds of the remarketing of the Notes but which were not so applied to
the payment of Notes shall be transferred to Credit Issuer. All such moneys
shall be subject to escheat to the State in accordance with the laws thereof.
Registered Owners shall be entitled to look only to Credit Issuer for payment
from such moneys, and all liability of Borrower, Trustee or Tender Agent with
respect to such money shall thereupon cease, and Trustee, Tender Agent, Credit
Issuer or

57

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Borrower shall not be liable for any interest thereon and such parties shall not
be regarded as a trustee of such money.
     Section 11.10. Funds and Accounts. Any fund or account required by this
Indenture to be established and maintained by Trustee may be established and
maintained in the accounting records of Trustee, either as a fund or an account,
and may, for the purposes of such records, any audits thereof and any reports or
statements with respect thereto, be treated either as a fund or as an account,
but all such records with respect to all such funds and accounts shall at all
times be maintained in accordance with generally accepted corporate trust
industry standards, to the extent practicable, and with due regard for the
requirements of Section 6.05 hereof and for the protection of the security of
the Notes and the rights of every Registered Owner thereof and Credit Issuer’s
interest created herein.
     Section 11.11. Execution in Several Counterparts. This Indenture may be
executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for
all purposes be deemed to be an original; and all such counterparts, or as many
of them as Borrower and Trustee shall preserve undestroyed, shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.
     Section 11.12. Actions Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. Except as
otherwise provided in this Indenture, if any date on which a payment, notice or
other action required by this Indenture falls on other than a Business Day, then
that action or payment need not be taken or made on such date, but may be taken
or made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if
made on such date.
     Section 11.13. References to Credit Issuer. Notwithstanding any provisions
contained herein to the contrary, Credit Issuer shall be entitled to take all
actions and exercise all rights hereunder for its own account so long as Credit
Issuer has not wrongfully dishonored any drawings under the Letter of Credit and
Credit Issuer is not in liquidation, bankruptcy or receivership proceedings.
After the expiration or termination of the Letter of Credit and after all
obligations owed to Credit Issuer pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement have
been paid in full or discharged, all references to Credit Issuer contained
herein (other than in Section 10.04 hereof) shall be null and void and of no
further force and effect.
     Section 11.14. Usury. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein or in the Notes, the obligations of Borrower to Noteholders hereunder and
under the Notes are subject to the limitation that payments of interest, amounts
deemed by applicable law to be interest, and late charges to Noteholders shall
not be required to the extent that receipt of any such payment by Noteholders
would be contrary to provisions of applicable law limiting the maximum rate of
interest that may be charged or collected by Noteholders. The portion of any
such payment received by Noteholders that is in excess of the maximum interest
permitted by such provisions of law shall be credited to the principal balance
of the Notes or if such excess portion exceeds the outstanding principal balance
of the Notes, then such excess portion shall be refunded to Borrower. All
interest paid or agreed to be paid to Noteholders shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and/or spread throughout
the full term of the Notes (including, without limitation, the period of any
renewal or extension thereof) so that interest for such full term shall not
exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     Reference is hereby made to the Indenture (a copy of which is on file at
said office of Trustee) and all indentures supplemental thereto for a
description of the rights thereunder of the registered owners of the Notes, of
the nature and extent of the security, of the rights, duties and immunities of
Trustee and Tender Agent and of the rights and obligations of Borrower
thereunder, to all the provisions of which Indenture the Registered Owner of
this Note, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees.
     The Notes and the interest thereon are payable solely from Note Payments
(as defined in the Indenture) and Account Funds (as defined in the Indenture)
and are secured by a pledge of said Account Funds (except as provided in the
Indenture), including proceeds of the sale of the Notes, subject only to the
provisions of the Indenture permitting the application thereof for the purposes
and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. The Notes are
further secured by the Letter of Credit.
     The Notes shall bear interest from and including the Date of Delivery of
the Notes to and including a date specified in the Indenture at the rate
specified in the Indenture. Thereafter, so long as the Notes accrue interest at
a Weekly Interest Rate, the Notes shall bear interest, calculated on the basis
of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed at a rate per annum
equal to the Weekly Interest Rate. Interest accruing on the Notes at a Fixed
Interest Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months.
     A Weekly Interest Rate shall be determined for each Weekly Rate Period as
described below. For each Weekly Rate Period, the interest rate on the Notes in
the Weekly Mode shall be the current market rate determined by Remarketing Agent
on the immediately preceding Weekly Rate Calculation Date, in accordance with
Section 2.03(a) of the Indenture. On each Weekly Rate Calculation Date,
Remarketing Agent shall determine the Weekly Interest Rate for the next
succeeding Weekly Rate Period as the rate which, if borne by the Notes in the
Weekly Mode, would, in the judgment of Remarketing Agent, be the lowest interest
rate necessary to enable Remarketing Agent to arrange for the sale of all of the
Outstanding Notes in the Weekly Mode at a price equal to the principal amount
thereof plus accrued interest thereon. Notice of such Weekly Interest Rate shall
be given in writing by Remarketing Agent to Borrower, Trustee and Credit Issuer
by the close of business on the Weekly Rate Calculation Date. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Weekly Interest Rate
borne by the Notes in the Weekly Mode exceed the lesser of 15% per annum or the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
     If for any reason Remarketing Agent does not determine a Weekly Interest
Rate for any Weekly Rate Period as aforesaid, the Weekly Interest Rate for that
Weekly Rate Period shall be equal to the Weekly Interest Rate in effect for the
immediately preceding Weekly Rate Period for the Notes.
     The determination of the Weekly Interest Rate by Remarketing Agent pursuant
to the Indenture shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, Trustee,
Remarketing Agent, Credit Issuer, the Registered Owners and the other registered
owners.
     The Fixed Interest Rate for Notes subject to the Fixed Interest Rate shall
be determined by Remarketing Agent as the lowest rate of interest that, in the
judgment of Remarketing Agent,

A-4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

would be necessary to enable Remarketing Agent to arrange for the sale of the
Notes subject to the Fixed Interest Rate in a secondary market sale at a price
equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, on the first
Business Day of the Fixed Rate Period. Notice of the Fixed Interest Rate shall
promptly be given by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) by Remarketing
Agent to Trustee, Borrower and Credit Issuer, if any. Determination of the Fixed
Interest Rate pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive and binding upon
Trustee, Borrower, Credit Issuer, if any, Remarketing Agent, and the Registered
Owners and shall not exceed the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law.
     The Rate Mode applicable to Notes shall be subject to conversion as
provided in Section 2.04 of the Indenture. Trustee, Borrower, Credit Issuer and
Remarketing Agent shall not be liable to any Registered Owners for failure to
give any notice required in connection with any such conversion or for failure
of any Registered Owners to receive any such notice.
     The Notes are subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the date an
alternate letter of credit is substituted for the Letter of Credit (the “Letter
of Credit Substitution Date”). The Fixed Interest Rate Date and the Letter of
Credit Substitution Date are also referred to as the “Mandatory Tender Date.”
     All Notes which on the Mandatory Tender Date have not been tendered for
purchase (the “Non-Tendered Notes”) shall be deemed purchased by Tender Agent on
the Mandatory Tender Date at a price of the principal amount thereof plus unpaid
interest, if any, accrued to such date. Replacement Notes for the Non-Tendered
Notes may be remarketed and delivered to new owners as instructed by Borrower or
Remarketing Agent. Tender Agent shall hold in escrow for the owners of the
Non-Tendered Notes the purchase price thereof, and after the Mandatory Tender
Date such owners will no longer be entitled to any of the benefits of the
Indenture except for the payment of such purchase price.
     The Indenture provides that prior to the Fixed Interest Rate Date, the
Notes may be delivered by the registered owners thereof to Tender Agent at its
designated corporate trust office or at such other place as Tender Agent may
designate in writing to the registered owners of the Notes. Any Note so
delivered or notice with respect to which is received shall be purchased by
Tender Agent on demand of the registered owner thereof on the close of any
Business Day at a purchase price equal to the principal amount thereof plus
accrued interest to but not including the date of purchase (unless such date is
an Interest Payment Date, in which case the purchase price will be the principal
amount of such Note) upon delivery to Tender Agent of an irrevocable written
notice by 3:00 p.m., New York time, (if not received by 3:00 p.m., New York
time, on a Business Day it shall be deemed received on the next succeeding
Business Day), which states (i) the name and address of the Registered Owner,
(ii) the number or numbers of the Note or Notes to be purchased, (iii) the
aggregate principal amount of the Note or Notes to be purchased, and (iv) the
date on which the Note is or Notes are to be purchased, which date shall be a
Business Day not prior to the seventh calendar day next succeeding the date of
delivery of such written notice and delivery to Tender Agent at or prior to 9:00
a.m., New York time, on the Purchase Date specified in the aforesaid notice, of
the Note or Notes to be tendered; provided, however, that any Note for which a
notice of the exercise of the purchase option has been given as provided in this
paragraph and which is not so delivered shall be deemed delivered on the date of
purchase and shall be purchased in accordance with this Indenture.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     The Notes are subject to redemption by Borrower upon the following terms in
increments of $5,000.00, provided that in the event of redemption of less than
all of the Notes, the amount which remains Outstanding shall be in Authorized
Denominations (as defined in the Indenture):
     (a) The Notes are not subject to sinking fund redemption.
     (b) While the Notes are in the Weekly Mode, the Notes are subject to
redemption, in whole on any Business Day or in part on any Interest Payment
Date, at the option of Borrower, with the written approval of Credit Issuer, at
a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes
redeemed, plus interest accrued thereon to the redemption date.
     (c) After the Fixed Interest Rate Date, the Notes are not subject to
redemption at the option of Borrower.
     (d) The Notes shall be redeemed in whole, at a redemption price equal to
100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus interest accrued thereon
to the redemption date, on a redemption date not less than 15 days preceding the
expiration date of the Letter of Credit selected by Trustee if no Alternate
Credit Facility or Alternate Letter of Credit has been delivered to Trustee in
accordance with the Indenture.
     (e) To the extent of a prepayment by Borrower as a result of the damage,
destruction or condemnation of the Property and as provided in the Reimbursement
Agreement, the Notes are subject to redemption, in whole on any Business Day or
in part on the first Business Day of each calendar month, after payment of any
amounts owed to Credit Issuer pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, prior to
their stated maturity, on any date, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
outstanding principal amount of such Notes that are redeemed, plus interest
accrued thereon to the redemption date.
     (f) The Notes shall be redeemed in whole at a redemption price equal to
100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued thereon
to the redemption date, within five calendar days (and before the following
Saturday if the fifth calendar day is a Saturday) from the date Trustee receives
written notice from Credit Issuer that an event of default has taken place under
the Reimbursement Agreement and directing Trustee to redeem the Notes.
     If an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall occur, the
principal of all Notes may be declared due and payable upon the conditions, in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides
that in certain events such declaration and its consequences may be rescinded.
     The Notes are issuable as fully registered Notes without coupons in
denominations of $100,000 or any multiple of $5,000 in excess of $100,000. This
Note is transferable by the Registered Owner hereof, in person or by his
attorney duly authorized in writing, but only in the manner, subject to the
limitations and upon payment of the charges, if any, provided in the Indenture,
and upon surrender and cancellation of this Note. Upon such transfer a new
registered

A-6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Note or Notes, of authorized denomination or denominations, for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the transferee in exchange
therefor.
     The Indenture and the rights and obligations of Borrower and of the
registered owners of the Notes and of Trustee or Tender Agent may be modified or
amended from time to time and at any time (and in certain cases without the
consent of the registered owners of the Notes) in the manner, to the extent, and
upon the terms provided in the Indenture; provided that no such modification or
amendment shall (a) extend the fixed maturity of this Note, or reduce the amount
of principal hereof, or extend the time of payment or change the method of
computing the rate of interest hereon, or extend the time of payment of interest
hereon, without the consent of the Registered Owner hereof, (b) reduce the
percentage of Notes the consent of the registered owners of which is required to
effect any such modification or amendment, (c) permit the creation of any lien
on the Account Funds and other assets pledged as security for the Notes prior to
or on a parity with the lien created by the Indenture, or deprive the registered
owners of the Notes of the lien created by the Indenture on such Account Funds
and other assets (except as expressly provided in the Indenture), without the
consent of the registered owners of all Notes then outstanding, or (d) adversely
affect the interests of Tender Agent without its prior written consent. Trustee
shall not be required to consent to any such amendment which materially
adversely affects its rights, duties and immunities under the Indenture or
otherwise, all as more fully set forth in the Indenture.
     If moneys or securities shall have been set aside and held for the payment
or redemption of Notes and the interest installments therefor to the maturity or
redemption date thereof in accordance with the Indenture, such Notes shall be
deemed to be paid within the meaning provided in the Indenture and the pledge of
the Account Funds and other assets made under the Indenture and all covenants,
agreements and other obligations of Borrower under the Indenture shall cease,
terminate, become void and be completely discharged and satisfied.
     This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or
become valid or obligatory for any purpose, until the certificate of
authentication and registration hereon endorsed shall have been signed by
Trustee.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the
Indenture, the obligations of Borrower to Registered Owner hereunder and under
the Indenture are subject to the limitation that payments of interest, amounts
deemed by applicable law to be interest, and late charges to Registered Owner
shall not be required to the extent that receipt of any such payment by
Registered Owner would be contrary to provisions of applicable law limiting the
maximum rate of interest that may be charged or collected by Registered Owner.
The portion of any such payment received by Registered Owner that is in excess
of the maximum interest permitted by such provisions of law shall be credited to
the principal balance of this Note or if such excess portion exceeds the
outstanding principal balance of this Note, then such excess portion shall be
refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Registered Owner
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and/or spread throughout the full term of this Note (including,
without limitation, the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that
interest for such full term shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law.
